Wilson’s service resulted in his ap- ; pointment as a member of the nd j visory committee to the U. S. Treas • ury Department. Discussions in the business s*-s- ] sions will concern recommendat- | ions that (1) the balance of the sink ing and other funds be invested in i Series F war bonds; (2) that the j lodge support every movement de signed to promote training of Ne groes in industrial, arts, Craft and other trade occupations; (3) that moral support be given Negroes who attempt to secure union affil iation; (4) that group insurance for Elks be studied; and (5) that "open bars” in Elk homes be eliminated. Open bars was dealt with at Clev eland six years ago when rules governing bars were adopted, but 3ince that time many violations have been reported. Members in several cities, it has ben charged, operate the bars under private own ership. Those guilty of the prac tice have indicated they will with draw as did the Eureka lodge of Norfolk, Va., if ithe grand lodge in terferes.

Thompkins .record er of deeds for the district of Col- i umbia and chairman of the health commission, who expressed feais, “lest the success of the allies be endangered by failure to keep our selves physically fit.” Dr. Thompkins said that although 1 "we now have 4,000 or 5,000 phys icians, we need 8,900 more. But any army calls for say, 500 more Negro physicians would greatly en danger the health of our Negro population.” He urged that den tists distribute themselves among smaller areas where they are sore ly needed rather concentrating as in the past on large urban districts Major R.

One of them in Mr. Gibson, the American Red Cro^s commissioner in Great Brit ain. One of his excuses is that he understood that the Negro person- / nel were loo h’e-hly skilled in their jobs. "White officers are behind mast of the trouble. They have even canvassed communities, telling the j residents and business people not to serve or associate with the Ne groes (whcm they command and get their promotions off”) The few Negro officers are treated as bad by their fellow officers. There are some fair minded officers, but they are not permitted to do much because they are not promoted and are shifted in many instances from place to place.

Their conduct on a whole is excel lent. ‘Tf you can convince the white officer that each Negro soldier wants to get heme to bis colored wife or friend, you can do a good job. These boys are not excited by the white girls even though they are sought out by the girls in many cases. And the whole thing seems to hinge on the friendship of the Negro and the white gnj. Many soldiers are in a very low frame of mind, and if they were not real soldiers, I am convinced that the enemy would be trying to work on them. However, it is pos sible that the enemy is helping these riots to break out since the tension is so great. “The American Negro soldier is often fined his entire salary or more for the smallest infraction. Oftimes they must travel 20 miles to another town to have a little fun. The Negro Red Cross worker is being resented because the sold iers look up to them for leadership. Also the American Red Cross work ers are not wearing bandana hand kerchiefs. The U. S. army is to blame for most of the trouble not the fifth co(lumn.
