statements in order that the public

The efficacy Of this is nowhere bet

Bishop Nichols has been able 10
get the people Of Alabama TO do
for themselves in the matter Of

the clutches Of greedy loan sharks.
Our argument here is based upon
what has always invariably been
SO well pointed out in the case Of
the Master who gave several per-
sons varying numbers Of talents
some Of whom buried theirs, others
Of whom held on to theirs, with no
increase In either case, while the
man who received one but put il
to exchange was able to give
good accounting Of his stewardship.
For this he was given many talents.
II was my privilege recently to
talk with the head Of the largest
cOlOred State Masonic Grand Lodge
in America-Grand Master Charles
V. Hendly Of Alabama. I learned
he heads an upward Of thirty thou
sand member order. Each year the
endowment secretary, Fred G, Jenk-
ms, issues complete statement
Of the financial transactions and
condition Of the Order. The gen
eTal statement is broken down into
detailed departmental statements,
and the general statement Is avail
able TO newspapers and the public
in general as well as TO the mem
bcrship Of the Order.
This is not true in the case Of
many other organizations. Hence,
there Is a lack Of faith in them
by many who would give them the
type Of support necessary to enable
them 10 furnish a freed leadership
without which the Negro cannot
make respectable and genuine prog

Let the people know what you do
with their money, and they will

Of trucks arrived in town there was
a mad scramble by the soldiers to
be first in line at one of the three
brothels. Military police were sta
toned at each brOthel to keep the
soldiers in line outside and to see
that they laid their money on the
line on the inside.
One Of the MP's who handled this
difficult job is a veteran whom you
read about. His name is Al HOOs-
man. He was one of Joe Louis
sparring partners while the champ
trained for his fight with Billy
Conn. Hoosman had the reputation
Of being one of the most clean cut
MP's in the Pacific area. He also
kept good order in the brothels.
The brothel line is about the only
place in the army where the caste
system does not apply. Officers,
first sergeants and pTivates took
their places as they arrived ut the
brothels. At times, however. a pa
tient soldier at the head of the line
would sell his place to one of his
more impatient buddies for twice
the cost of a woman inside.
When American trops Of the
Forty-eighth Quartermaster, the
Twenty-ninth QuarteTmaster, the
Ninety Engineers and the
394th Port Battalion arrived in
Australia in 1912, the cost of a
woman in brothel was five shil-
lings go cents to you) and was
regulated by the Australian gov
eminent. Three months later, how
ever, the same brOthels were charg-
ing a pound and a half Thirty shil-
lings or slightly more than So and

One Of the first clashes the Aus
tralian soldiers had with American
CTS was over raising the price Of
women in brOthels.

Dear Joe
BY JAMES L. HICKS


Dear Joe:
The unsung heroes Of World War
ii are the wives Of soldiers who
remained faithful while their men
were at war, but they are being
rewarded by being discarded.
The courts are crowded these
days with cases Of returned vet
Grams who are either on their way
to Jail for cutting up their wives
or who are seeking divorces because
some busybOdies said their wives
were cutting up while they were
away.
It's no doubt true that many Of the
wives of soldiers stTayed from the
straight and narrow path and yield
ed to the pressure of the war
wOrker-wOlves but in comparison
with the number Of their husbands
who went wrong with mademoi-
selles. frauleins and other foreign
ladies, the wife still looks like the
image Of your patron saint.
The returning veteran has the
advantage over his wife on the
question Of morals because the
evidence of what she did Is here
for him TO see or some idea Of what
she did may be readily obtained
by simply consulting her very
best girl friend" but the gOings-
on Of Joe and mademOiseIIe is
nov closed book because the
War Department will not tell
about IL and CTS don't tell on
each other.
Many of the faithful wives who
are now being kicked around today
by their veteran husbands and
charged with infdelity would be
shocked to know that approximately
90 per cent Of their CT husbands

many other countries where CTS

gallZed. It was never an unusual
sight TO see from Is to 100 soldiers
lined up outside Of a brothel wait
ing their turn for few minutes
with the inmates.
In Brisbane, Australia. in 1913.
the most popular brOthel for Ne
gro soldiers was located on Stan
ley Street directly behind the
George Washington Carver club Of
the American Red Cross.
Negro soldiers az that time
were restricted to six blocks in
Brisbane by order Of General
Douglas CT have returned'')
Mac Arthur. and these six blocks
down along the Brisbane river
contained nothing but three
brOthels, three beer joints. two
fruit stores, half the loose wO-
men In Brisbane, all the Negro
soldiers, and the American Red
Cross club for Negro military
personnel.
The nearest Negro soldiers were
stationed IL miles out Of Brisbane,
and only permitted to visit the i'll
famed six blocks after 6 o'clock in
the evening.
Al that time they were brought
directly to the six blocks area in a
convoy of trucks which parked in
front Of the Red Cross club and
waited until IL o'clock to take the
boys back to camp.
