music as these artists and the an nouncement of their coming is of great interest to those to whom good and unusual music makes an appeal. The Negro Spiritual has a wide and varied iotereat. To the musician it is the real music of Anierica. the music on which all the later form* of pop ular American music have bsen based.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1—Communist Bemj. Gitlow (white), a lOo per cent alien, in recdntly Addressing a meeting of 2,500 commlinistt in New York City, on what can be done before a revolution can be started in America, is quoted a* scying thajt the one million Negro inhabitants of the country would combine with him to make “an international labor defense. comprising of hundreds of thousands of members and a powerful organized, disciplined communist

party.”

Just how “Brother” Gitlow expect ed to pul over the “urge” among his colored brethren did not appear in the course of his remarks; nor did he exhibit unv evidence of a “waiting ILst” or Negroes, who, like* him. are aliens who have a new way of running the Ameripaji government and American institutions If Gitlow had beer, zealous enough m his research into the temperament adn attitude of the eleven million American Negroes whom he expects to convert into over-night communists, he would have* realized that lieople who are a-* one hundred per cent American as Mr. Gitlow is alien, | are more interested, in developing ‘ Americanism th;.n communism. Negroes are wholly lacking in ’any revolutionary spirit and are as free from unrest a* are the vast majority of unthinking Americans, who are satisfied wiih their country’ **od their government and have no deaire to change either. The eleven million Negroes, rtf whose cooperation Mr Gitlow is idl^v dreaming, are busily engaged in furthering their race progress; educating then children >n the way* ami practice* of the reprehent at ive form of government. and builfling up a great.-r wealth and substantial future for the generations to c<*me ooo Employees Of Mme.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4—As a result of the destruction wrought by the explosion of a vandal's “spite” bomb at daybiftak on Oct. 16th, thei finance committee of the Bathesda Baptist Church, 53rd and Michigan Ave., has been forced to send ou>t a call (for assistance in its campaign to raise sufficient funds with which to rebuild thei place of worship. The church building, which was considerrtd one of thcr most beautiful and most perfectly eouipipied in the city prior to the bombing, was so badly wrecked and damagekl by the explosion that an outlay of nearly $30,000 will be required to make the necessary repairs. In its campaign to raise this amount, the finance committee of the church of which the pastor. Rev, E. T. Martin is chairman, sent out t*b following letl-dr to all of the whi papers in the city: “To all Christians and every p lic-spiritekl citizen: ■tSad and pathetic is the state erf the members of the Church.
