William White, Virgil Williams, Travis Dixon and the Goalies, Mose Ransom and Lysle AUGUST »y ANN JOYCE August, the eighth month of th« year, was named in honor of the first Roman emperor, Augustus Caesar. To persons interested in history, August provides a generous supply of notable events. It was in August, 1492, that Chris topher Columbus, Italian navigator, began his voyages of exploration which resulted in the discovery of America, landing at San Salvador, one of tiie Bahama Islands. Robert Fulton, 'American inventor, first operated the steamboat “Cler mont” on the Hudson River in Au gust, 1807. In August, 1812, the U. S. frigate “Constitution” captured the British frigate “Guerriere.” Frigates are de scribed as old-style war vessels, smaller than ships. “Old Ironsides” was the name given later to the Amer ican frigate. On August 5, 1858, eighty-one years ago, the first Atlantic cable message was sent. These cables now encircle the globe. I he Panama Canal was opened in August, 1914, across the Isthmus of Panama, formerly called the Isthmus of Darien, so connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. In 1898 the Spanish American War occurred. In August of that year General Merrit took Manila. Hawaii was then annexed to the United States. Woman Suffrage became effective in the United Slates on August 20, 1900, after years of effort to secure it. Many prominent persons had their birthdays in August. There were two Presidents of the United States, aa well ns other statesmen. Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third President, was born August 20, 1833, the state being Ohio. The birthday of Herbert Hoo ver, thirty-first President, was Au gust 10, 1874* His native state was Iowa. Alfred Ixjrd Tennyson, once Poet laureate of England, was born on the 6th of August, 1809. In the same month and year Oliver Wendell Holmes, American author, was bom, the^29th day being the date. Goethe, German poet, who wrote Faust, was bom on the 28th of Au gust, 1749. Later, Gounod, French composer, made it into the well known opera of that name. Carrie Jacobs Bond, always re membered for “The End of a Perfect Day,’ had her first birthday in Au gust 1862. Izaak Walton, English sportsman and writer, is still remembered as the patron saint of fishermen after oven three hundred years, as August 9, 1593, was his birthday. “The Com pleat Angler” is his best-known work. Of course, these are but a few of Hie well-known persons whose birth days occurred in August. The month of August has special Interest for the present generation. It was on the first of August, 1914* that the World War began, just twenty five years ego. The results of that terrible conflict, which cost the live* l>f so many of the finest men of the nations engaged in it, are still felt by I til those countries, as well as by all the civilised world.

AND MRS RAYMOND R. BROWN HONORED AT RECEPTION (Continued from page 1) frankness. The farther east one goes the colder the people become. They look upon a stranger with suspicion. “It has been veTy pleasurable to como to Omaha. We feel that we are old Omahans. We are a family people. We have three children and when we go to a place we like to make it a home for ourselves and our children so that we fit the community.” He goes on: “It takes the com munity to do the work of the Ur ban League and not the indivi dual. With this in mind, I would like to remind you of the purpose of the Urban league program.” He spoke of Mrs. Ruth Standish Baldwin wihhat as the secretary intf the Urban League we hope that we can d<> as well, were started to do by the leader Mrs. Ruth Stan dish Bald win. Ltt us work not as colore people nor as white people to gether as American citizens for the common city and bhe common country." Mrs. Raymond R. Brown res ponded to the other speakers. Shi spoke on hpw glad she was to be hero in Omaha, and she said, “Friendliness on your part is one of t’ e things I shall cherish and lemember.” Miss Margaret Fisher, Presi wr. M stress of Ceremony. She gav< remarks of the record of the Urban Leaguo and the great deal it ha- accomplished. M . Alvin Johnson, Chairman of the Community Chest, said he was very happy, indeed to have the Urban League one of the agencies that is supported! by the Ooml munity Chest.

Mrs. Dorene He Hi day, was |dn charge of the refreshfents with Mrs. lone Hanger and Miss Amanda Williams assisting. ' ——-__joOo America Shouldn’t be drawn into war (Continued from page 1) his country just as patriotically as any other citizen. In this way another opportunity would be of fered to demonstrate beyond a doubt his right to enjoy the bles sings vouchsafed to him by the American constitution.” The effect of the war will be the same on Negroes as on other citizens, thinks Dr. Dunum. The need for war materials and food should cause a business boom which though artificial would halt unemployment and bring general prosperity to both races “while tho war laists.” The NMA president is opposed to a separate Negro army divi sion believeing the race should be treated as ofches citizens. "A pure Negro division, even if officered by Negro officers, could be sub jected to discriminatory practices and used as frontline defense in actual combat and suffer from merciless gun fire, thus sustain ing and bearing the brunit of the enemy’s fire to make it easy for whito soldiers to step in an get credit for the success," says Dr. Dumas. “This would not be with out a parallel, as history proved at Fort Pillar during the Civil war. The Negro could best func tion if he were integrated in whi.e divisions, and so distributed that he could share and fare alike ai his white compatriots. In this way there could be no charge of discriminatory practice.” Dr. James W. Eicheiberger, Chicago, secretary of Christian education of the AME Zion church, says America should not be drawn into the war, since it it not our fight and adds “we can wish and pray that we keep out.” He believes there is merit in the plan for a Negro division in army ami navy. “This war may open tremendous opportunities for American Ne groes provided we are sufficiently sensitive and prepared,” Dr. Eic belberger opines: “If continued r.-.^ny mon'ihs, it will deplete the manhood in the nations involved, it will aDo withdraw thousands of workers of foreign birth and descent from American industry to participate in the war.

That’s all going into the column this week.. will be given American Negroes if we will prepare now and begin for such opportunities.” Bel eving that America will be arawn into the war should France and England become serious jeo pardized, although feeling we should remain out, is Dr. Thomas E. Jones, president of Fisk univer sity, in Nashville. “Negroes should put forth every effort to safeguard democracy in in this country, and further the allegiance of those in other na tions, for the position which the Negro as a minority member in this great democracy can win for himself will be the most eloqoent testimony to the effectiveness of our type of government for mino rities within nations and small nations within an international organization for peace, which America should strive to form from what is left of the nations now at war," says Dr. Jones. One of the country’s best known business, R. R. Wright, sr., presi dent of Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Co., at Philadel phia, who hopes America will not be drawn into the war, *ees two effects on the race. Since war makes prices rise and influences profiteering wthiiph proves more dangerous to the poor and (minor classes than to others, the Euro pean conflict will ‘‘no doubt af fect the American adversely im ply because he is a minority group." But on the other hand, because the Negro is a minority group and subject to discr. ruination “even by our government,” during a war the race would “receive some consideration it would not otherwise receive,” says the bank president. “The last war brought this about. I think the colored man received many things from the unfortunate war situation which he would have received had the World war not occured. This is a ead commentary upon our condition in the American so cial setup.” He is opposed to a separate army diviion because, he points out, “in war the white man for gets just who his comrades are. He calls on anybody to help. It is after tho battle is won or lost that the white man discovers that bis comrades of war are not or ■should not be ihis companions when it comes to social and civil rights. I cannot feel that the for mation of a Negro division of the iirmy, particularly for the war, would be able to function at ail.” Speaking from a woman’s point of view, Ida L. Jackson, Oakland. Cal., former grand basileue of the Alpha Kappa sorority, says Chat however unsat I factory tihe Negro’s condition may be in this democracy, it would “not be im proved under Nazi or Fascist domination” and if America is in volved in the war, then the Negro should bear whatever obligations his citizenship entails. “Our experiences in and after the World war lead me to con clude that our fate will be much the same as iit has in the past,” Miss Jackson avers. “Our loyalty and services are expected. All services in the army and navy should be thrown open to Negro Americans as they are to other Americana. I believe the forma tion of a Negro division would be a benefit. It would mean great er opportunities for a greater number of Negroes as leaders, as well as offer more opportunities l’or avanoement from the ranks.” America can stay out of the war, although “the caprices inci dent to war over there may force I America’s hand,” thinks “Presi- , den: M. W. Dogan of Wiley col- J lego Marshall, Tex., who also sees • a temporary boom aiding Negro] employment although working a hardship on professional workers and wage earners now employed through a rise in living costs without a rise in pay. “The present European crisis can do America and the America Negro no good unless the demo cracies over there quit playing politics, and may do this country I untold harm by keeping its econo mic and political machinery keyed to the wrong pitch for peaceful, progressive performance and thus dangerously delaying the solution of our own maladjusted social and economic life," says Dr. Dogan. As for a separate army division, he feels “it would not be feasi ble or desirable to place every in dividual Negro in a segregated unit," The Negro will enjoy increased employment if the war drags on in Europe, jurat as he did in th2 last Wtorld War, believes Atty. Theophilus M. Mann of Chicago, former national head of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. He says that “backward groups whether they be white or black more than likely will be handed in so-called stevedore regiments” and adds “in the event of war, it is possi ble that there will be sufficient combat troops to make up a col ored divis on, but it is doubtful that organization of such a divi sion would fit in with the plans which already have been outlined by the war department for na tional defense.” SOLUTION or TODAY'S HEXOUBAM SOLUTION TO TODAY*!
