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.

“It has been veTy pleasurable

America Shouldn’t

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. In such
event unprecented opportunities

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.”
