Irving Cobb, war correspondent and novelist, a southerner bom and bred, was a guest at a recent dinner given by the Society of Composers, Authors and Songwriters at Keen’s Chop House, West 41st street, New York City. James W. Johnson, contributing editor of The Age, and J. Rosamond Johnson of the Music SchoolSettle ment are the only Colored members of this organization.' They were present at the dinner. When Mr. Cobb, whose racial pre judices are well known, was called on to speak, he made the following de claration, remarkable because it was made by Irving Cobb: “Mr. President: I appreciate the honor of being here. I am a southern er, an inheritor of all the prejudices of that section. But I esteem it a privilege to be the guest of an or ganization that recognizes talent and ability, regardless of race, creed, con dition or the pigment of the skin, giv ing to that talent and ability the rec ognition to which it is entitled.” His sentiment aroused enthusiastic applause. James W. Johnson was one of the speakers, the others being Vic tor Herbert, composer, Wilson G. Miz ner, playwright, Rufe Goldberg, cai toonist, Seymour Brown, songwriter, Irving Berlin, song writer, and George Cohan, actor and play writer. UNITED STATES WARSHIP RETURNS FROM LIBERIA (Continued from first page.) and swept the coast of the rebels I rom Sinu south.” According to sailors on the Chester j —but this was not officially stated— I the call at Madrid was productive of I an incident that in its entirety added much to the strength of the moral support given the Liberian Govem | ment by Uncle Sam. The sailors stated that at Funchal the cruiser met the United States col lier Sterling and received from her 500 Krag-Jorgensen rifles and 25,000 rounds of ammunition, which ulti mately got into the hands of the Gov ernment forces of Liberia. The only arms possessed by the Liberian Gov ernment up to that time were a few German rifles, for which there was no ammunition at hand. The President is Level-Headed. “I found President William D. How ard of Liberia a shrewd, level-headed man,” said Commander Schofield. “He is a descendant of American Negroes and has some education. He is electeu for four years and has a Legislature consisting of eight Senators and 13 Representatives. The country has about 12,000 inhabitants in Americo Iiberia, and about 40,000 civilized Ne groes, and about 2,000,000 native pop ulation. “There are about 100 tribes of bush nen, each having its own king and own dialect, and the Government’s task of keeping peace with them is not an easy one.” Commander Schofield stated that Liberia has felt some inconvenience from the European war, through in terruption of her supplies. The trade of the country was 80 per cent, in the hands of Germans before the war. The German traders are there yet, but ther are getting only a little in the way of supplies chiefly from the United States. The steamships which formerly plied regularly from Ger many come no more, and the occasion il English steamships stop only at 3ne or two ports where they formerly stopped at all. Mrs. Bundy was the only woman on the cruiser, and she seemed to enjoy :he novelty of her position. She ex pressed herself as being glad to get back to the United States, but de clared with emphasis, “I want you to say that Liberia isn’t as black as it is painted.” Mr. and Mrs. Bundy will ;pend their holiday principally in Cleveland, Ohio, their home. THE AFRICAN POETICAL. Southern News Bureau. April 19. The native Africans have some very •striking expressions, showing that they are full of poetical ideas. The Mpongues call thunder the “sky gun.” and the morning is with them the ‘day’s child.” The Zulus call the twi ight the “eyelashes of the sun.” An African who came to America was ihown some ice, which he had not een before, and he called it “water rast asleep.” When asked to give a lame to a railroad car, he said: “Him >c one thunder mill.” THE AMERICAN GIANTS OPEN IN CHICAGO APRIL 30.
