HarIem's Hotel Theresa To
Be Used For Neqro Soldiers

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. =
Especial to the Daily Bulletin) "A
storm of protest is anticipated here
today whe nit will be announced
that the Hotel Theresa, the only
hostelry of size and consequence in
Harlem, is going to be taken over
by the Army as a redistribution
center for Negro soldiers returning
on furlough from overseas, it was
learned exclusively here.
The announcement will be made
by Maj. Gen. Thomas A. Terry,
commanding general, Second Serv-
ice Command, before Walter White,
Lester Granger, Charming Tobias,
and other race leaders.
The Theresa has for years been
the mecca for visitors to New
York, and it is believed the protest
will be made because it is the only
first-class hotel large enough to ac-
commodate visitors to the big city.
The Army has already taken over
a number of hotels at seaside and

The plan calls for the organiza-
tion of a new corporation, the Rail
way-Pullman Car company, by a
buying group formed among those
railway companies interested in ac-
quiring the sleeping car business.
Among the railroads that may be
interested are the New York Cen
tral, Southern Pacific, Atchison
and Union Pacific railroads.

Tells OF TRAVEL ON

WITH SIXTH ARMY FORCES
(ABOARD TROOPSHIP), Sept.
16 (ANP) (Delayed)-We were
floating calmly at sea, apparently
alone and occasionally spotting a
navy ship here and there. We were
still in our own well-under con-
trolled waters. The fourth day we
came into northeastern New Gui-
nea port, which only a matter of
months ago was in the hands of the
with the bulk of the task force con-
enemy. Here we had a rendezvous
voy that we were to join. That night
atmosphere became tense, we were
once more on the prowl . this time
skidding through dangerous waters.
Down on the deck the urgency of
the moment was being preached by
First Sgt. L. H. Scott, whose home
is Forriday, La. Standing on top of
number two hatch, he explained
briefly and concisely the impor-
tance of the "hour" -. no smoking

PULLMAN p0RTERS OK.
TRANSFER TO RAILROADS

CHICAGO, Sept. Is (ANP)-
No opposition will come from the
ranks of sleeping car porters if the
railroads shoul dbuy the Pullman's
s81, 100000 business, according to
concensus of members of the Broth
erhood 0 fSleeping Car Porters.
Railroad executives all over the ma
ton are said to be studying such a
plan, a Pullman official disclosed.
While an effort to contact Milton
Webster, an official of the Broth
erhood of Sleeping Car Porters,
proved futile, Ernest Graham,
grand chief of the Pullman Porter
Benefit association, said that port
ers generally are hoping that the
railroads will take over the Pull
man company. Such transaction
will cause no disturbance in the re-
lationship S between porters and
other railroad employees, he pointed
out.

and "for Godsakes when you climb
into these trucks, that some you are
sleeping in s. watch out for the
dash board and don't click on the

Riding troop ship loaded with
equipmente and supplies isn't any
fun j.. +. in fact riding a troopship,
stop, isn't any fun. There's no COM
fort and there isn't too much space
to move around in. The men have
their cots jammed close together,
below deck, personal equipment
slung underneath some prefer
the night windy slumber on deck
and have made beds in the cabs
an dbodies of the loaded trucks sit
ting up there Officers are squeezed
into cabinet, latched to the boat
deck. 1t has no windows but two
doors. If it isn't raining the doors
can be left open otherwise it's
very stuffy. Their equipment is on
the flyoor squeezed between the two
rows of hunks. This is also the only
aisle l.. therefore requiring intri-
cate dance steps to move around the
place.
Entertainment in the daytime is
playing cards, craps, checkers and
chess. At night unless you want to
stay in the hot hold below and do
these same things over again you
can sit out on deck and swap lies.
Otter terrain comes into sight.
Although there's nothing to see the
wooded spots still tell a story. To our
left we passed one spot which we
know was reputed to hold nearly
$4,000 Japs :. to our right we saw
an island that once was the strong
est Jap held in these parts. The Japs
are still there but in a small,
hungry, starving, stubborn minor
ity, cut off from all communica-
tions :. (. occasionally getting nice
pounding from the Yanks.

tablishment of another agency at
this time will serve any good pur-
pose. We are sure such an agency
will only add to the overhead
cost.
IF the Community Chest Off.
Gals still feel that the establish

tial and that curtailmeni of funds
is necessary, the Associated Chari-
ties should appreciate receiving
from you within ten days written
notice to that effect.

associated Charities
MayL,ose Chest Help

i "Nonetheless, at a meeting call
ed several weeks ago by Mr.. Storer
+. Ware. then president of the
Community Chest, it was agreed
that the Associated Charities would
rot object to the establishment of
the Family Service Agency, pro-
vlded the existing relations be-
tween the Associated Charities and
the Community Chest remain I'M
changed. 1t was to be clearly I'M
derstood that the Associated Chari-
ties would receive its usual a]1oca-
ton from the Community Chest.
Mr.. Ware. stated that this was fair
and expressed the belief that the
Community Chest would be favor
| ably disposed to such action.
This agreement was embodied
in written report, a copy of which
was forwarded to the office of the
Community Chest on July 26, 1914
So far, receipt of said report has
not been acknowledged by your Of
flee.
"We realize, of course, that since
Mr.. Ware is no longer president
Of the Community Chest, any ver-
bal promise made by him would
not be binding upon the latter Or
ganization. However, having enter
ed into the aforemention agreement
in good faith, we were surprised
no little when informed that should
the Family Service Agency be es-
tablished our appropriation from
the Community Chest would prob
ably be reduced or cut off COM
pletely. Under the circumstances.
we can no longer consider our
selves morally obligated by the
agreement entered into with Mr..
Ware.
Accordingly, we desire to place
the Associated Charities on record
as follows:
81. We believe that the Associat-
ed Charities is private agency.
This fact is attested to by our
charter and by recent ruling OF
the Supreme Court which mention
ed that since the Associated Char
tiles is a private agency is per-
sonnet is not eligible to participate
I in the city or county pension plans.
SO. The fact that the Associated
Charities is administering funds
from the city and county is mat
ter that is purely the concern OF
the agencies involved. This addi-
tional work assumed by the Asso-
ciated Charities has in no way
impaired it's functioning as a pri
vate family agency.
50. We are convinced that the
work plan now in existence be-
tween the Associated Charities
and the Department of Public
Welfare is satisfactory and that
in view Of the limited personnel
and funds, the needs of the clients
have been adequately and effici-
emily served. We feel confident
that the many years of exper-
fence amply prepare and equip the
two agencies for whatever emer-
gencies may arise in the future.
81 1t is our belief that if the
Community Chest wishes to
strengthen the welfare program
in New Hanover county, which de-
sire to enlarge the personnel of
the Associated Charities so that
more time could be spent on the
rehabilitation of individual cases.
SIS. We believe firmly that the

Charities under the present plan
