Einstein, so long as a member of the General Committee of the Patriotic Union who may travel in New York, is then treated today, is deemed an officer of the National Union, but not of the Advancement of Colored People. Fifth Avenue, New York, is still unarmed upon action for the recognition of the right to vote, and is not to be compelled, the American Occupation. "For the first time since in 155 years Mr. P. Einstein has been a Consistent Harith during the last years of American observation, she dreamed of its unarmed that times and now by Harith peacefully for the next year who have entered a warage hope the became of the steppe of their home and those who have entered the Harithic Government for purchase, like its obligations, no way to pursue it. Mr. Einstein will be able to assist for Harith at the time of the limits. Hariths have continued for years. I do not know how many times an am continue to continue. Their country has been devastated by recent events. They are living in a state of the destroying insecurity. These are work to be hard. Citizens people are unaware and unprotected, and are awards on the one of them in connection to Cuba. The first, temporary acquaintance is temporary. It was a crime against the economic strength of the country to fix the value of the nation's currency. The source, at twenty cents for a couple when in the last 25 years the source had been worth a dollar and was several times at a hundred over the dollar. The military devastation that has taken place in Haiti in the last few years can be attributed to will be more difficult to be understood than to economic crimes which have killed the country in politics, at least in advance, with other crimes. These are the crimes committed in the country in the last few years, financial crimes. A CARD OF TRANS Mr. H. J. Moore, who took his friends for the beautiful flowers, rays, and expressions with the down during his recent Illness. He is much improved and is writing and will be glad to see his many friends.

One of The Greatest sessions in the history of the Virginia Baptist convention was the sixth annual convention which he passed into history. There was almost a full recollection from Virginia, the first of the unique Weymouth, Pennsylvania and New York, to New Jersey. The convention and win a United for the purpose of doing more in education and more educational work and to lift up the Virginia. The desired 1850s and 1860s, the burglar to be paid and the school child. The Convention was to select a Liberty Baptist church, and the Ammond Avonius Baptist church, the second being being in the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, Dr. J. E. White turned over everything to Dr. Fowell. The delegation was indeed large and some of the most noted men of the race were present. All were loud in their praises of the work done by Dr. H. Powell and his committee, and the meals served were all well prepared and strictly first class. PRESIDENT KING IN CHAIR The convention was called to order by the Rev. W. Washburn, meeting by his best Dr. T. J. Jones and was not allowed by any of the presiding officers to attend the Rev. W. T. Hull, H. C. W. Hull, and J. B. Biddle, and allowed by Rogel Tableau to attend by Rev. W. H. Hull. Baptist and Their Doctrine "This disposition continued until 10:30 when the vessel was turned over to the Rev. Dr. H. Powell who noted as minister of ceremonies during the delivery of the welcome addresses. In his opening remarks, he said that he was not to make an address, but tell that Washington was honored by the meeting of the Vir. State Baptist convention, and the people who looked forward to the day when they could see the leaders of their people from Virginia. DR. POWELLS OPINION Dr. Powell considered, just the people he would get out of the meeting and therefore had prepared a great treat for the debaters, and his return, that they would receive a spiritual and intellectual feast. Dr. Powell has made his place among the men of the race and is done a proper work in Washington. He presided during the delivery of the webobserver addresses. Mrs. Anna Christopher, represented the Labory Hartley church in an address of welcome, the said many good things and made all his that they were among friends of course they were. Dr. James E. Willis, extended welcome to the Vermont Avenue Baptist church. The other speakers were: Dr. J. S. Carroll, of the Albany Methodist Episcopal church; J. W. Lewis, for the business; Dr. M. D. Norman for the介material alliance; Dr. Garner for the Constitutional Church, Kelly Milton was a member of the presidents. The addresses were promised to by Rev. C. C. Scott of Philadelphia. He he deceived that Washington was the best quarters of the Baptists of America because President Harding was a Baptist. He spoke on the work of the Baptist especially that of the Virginia Theological Seminary and college of which that matchless educational leader of the race, Dr. R. C. Woods is President. It was announced that on account of physical condition Dr. W. P. Grisham, of Philadelphia one of the pioneers would not be able to be present. Dr. A. A. Gatlin offered resolution touching Dr. Graham and a special prayer was offered that he be fully restored to health and spared to the denomination and race for many years to come. DR. HARVEY JOHNSON'S GREAT ADDRESS Dr. Harvey Johnson, the venerable minister from Baltimore, Md., and one of the most noted men in the race was introduced, and delivered an able address, which was ordered printed in the minutes of the convention, by unnan Race was the only historic nation ex bent today. The white man was unable to tell where he met Mr. Cooper, or even his existence and he had been a figure. Dr. Johnson showed his interest in the work of the Virginia Baptists by subservient to their diaries for the work in Athens, saving a clock would be sent soon as he reached home. The devotion of the attention section. We also were conducted by Rex. Jas. E. Reed, R. P. Grisham and C. W. Parry. The question of making a moving picture of the coneon lan was referred to a committee consisting of Rex J. H. Burk, Walter H. Brands and Dr. Nelson. At this point the naval was turned over to Vice President N. A. Brown, who provided during the delivery of the ministerly address of President T. J. King. The annual address was inked, an important document, and joined together of work being done by the Baptists, and spoke right out for the whole issue. In speaking of the educational work Dr. King said: "Our success in every other field depends in no small degree upon the success of our spiritual education in station. Let our schools teach and we have no prepares men for our home or burden in pulpit. The salvation of the world depends upon the church. The salvation of one church depends upon the pulpit. The salvation of the papal church depends upon the schools and systems of theology. And the salvation of all these goes upon Gods word, the Holy Spirit and our conceived endeavor. WORK PROSPERING "I am sure our president will take van that God has prepared the way of our school at Lynchburg during the year now choosing. He has not hitherto taken a place here or thank you for your earnest prayers in how benefited. He was in an army to temper that our unfortunate national into fame, to treat one son who occupies the chief office of responsibility and honor as president of the most in this country. He came to the call your faithful worker in but none the less is no more. Not tonight are the tasks by the then master of men at his tree oblities have blinded and failures have been made to sustain. Phlox does that he would lose in the trust have become so indepensible until the prophets who ordered them in honor bound to respect and congratulate him because of his eminent service for the task. "In these dark days when that prophetic and primacy character, President Gregory WIPs Haven, told down the gunmetal in such early stages of the fight of honeys, he had done a hero's part, the future looked a bit dark for our canoe but the Maker of men marked his pinnipin and battle-proceeded. Hardik I hear the clash of arms routing the air, and the world beholds the conflict." President R. C. Woods, A. M., is worthy of the encounters of men and if you believe in his greatness for no other reason listen to the charming story of his work fashioned and foiled and bathed in tears and perspiration. The story of his struggles and achievements for God and his fellows shall make coveful chapters in the history of men and things. This great institution brings to us obligations great, and opportunities grand. The one opens the door to the field of bathe, and the other factions us whie we fight into characters immortal and subtime. "Our president will tell you about the excellence of the present faculty and student body in character and numbers. He will also tell you how the work is progressing on our administration hall which will be the greatest and finest building erected and owned in the state of Virginia by members of our race. We are carrying the immortal characters of men in brick and stone; they stand forth in towering monuments; a work of art in our hands; the best by members of our race group in any of or section of the country, the nation must be pioneers in every new work. Pathfinders are to be taken. Our men must prepare to take these places among the great law-legislators in the jury hives, on the bench, in the courts, in the state and national legislative chambers, alone, or of other men for this is what American citizenship means. This is what is intended to save others, nothing else can save us. We cannot live in America on a half measure of citizenship and compete with other fellow citizens who study a full measure. The things must come or we are evermore undone for a state in which one group legislates for and overrun another cannot endure.

He is not to be the restoring society of the National Union for Advancement of Colored People of Fitz Avery, New York. "For the first time in the 1920s said M. Perry, Executive of the American Occupations, she de- sign on its executive staff. This was by Haitian people, for the poor, who have suffered severe bond because of the stoppage of trade to come and those who have been by the Haitian Government by purpos- ing its obligations, are not among "M. American," which no one re- sulting for Haitian people is in the hasten. Haitians have suffered too years. I do not know how long they can continue to continue. Their com- try has been devastated by recent events. They are living in a state of training in miscegenity. There is no work to be done, common people are unable to and not used, and in wards as the result of them have increased to Cuba. The first military acquired by the nation was a crime against the economic strength of the country to fix the value of the national currency, the pound, at twenty cents in ounce when in the last 25 years the pound had been worth a dollar and was several times at a hundred over the dollar. The military devastation that has taken place in Britain in the last five years can be attributed to will be magnified to include the loss of the economic crimes which will not harm the country in position to deal with other crimes. The crimes common to both nations in the last five years will be financial crimes. 1 CARD OF THANKS Mr. H. J.

In his opening remarks, he said, that he was not to make an address, but told that Washington was honored by the meeting of the Va- t. State Baptist convention and the people had looked forward to the day when they could see the leaders of their people from Virginia. DR. POWELLS OPINION Dr. Powell considered that the people would get away out of the meeting and therefore had prepared a great force for the debates, and to return, that they would receive a spiritual and intellectual force. Dr. Powell has made his piece among the them of the one and is doing a great work in Washington. He provides during the delivery of the welcome addresses, Mrs. Anna Christopher, re-encoded the Liberty Battle church in an address of welcome.

The white man was unable to tell where he got his color, or even his existence and he had been in picture. Dr. Johnson showed his interest in the work of the Virginia Baptists by subscribing thirty copies for the work in Articles saying in a check could be sent as soon as he reached home. The devotion at the opening of the afternoon session. We also were conducted by Rees, Jas E. Reed, R. F. Gardner and C. W. Perlob. The question of making a moving picture of the convict was refered to a comic outfit consisting of Rees J. E. Hinkle, Walter H.

The annual address we will take an important document, just to touch every place of work being done by the Baptists, and spoke right out for the whole past. In speaking of the educational work Dr. King said: "Our success in every other field depends in no small degree upon the success of our other institutional station. Let our schools train and we have, no purpose to use our home or board in pulpit. The salvation of the world does upon the church. The salvation of the church depends upon the pulpit. The salvation of the church depends upon the pulpit. The salvation of the church depends upon the school and systems of theology. And the salvation of all these repts upon God's word, the Holy Spirit and our consecrated endeavor. WORK PROSPEPING "I am sure our president will take you that God has opened the world of our school at Lyndhurst district, the year now closing. He has not left it onto me. I am here to thank you for your correct process in her benefit. It was in an answer to prayer that our great Creator is dined into fame. I treat notice to who occupies the chief seat of the possibility and honor as president of the great institution. He came to the call a worthful work in but none, the best man. He made for the task by the most skilled of men at his feet oblities have blighted and failures have been made to crush. Philosopher that he would boil in the light have become so indifferent until the jpg photo who offered them are in honor bound to respect and commend him because of his eminent fitness for the task. A REFERENCE TO A GREAT LEADER "In these dark days when that prophetic and primacy character, President Greecy Wilde Haves, held down the gambrel in such early stages of the fight, all hallowed he had done a hero's part, the future looked a bit dark for our cause, but the Maker of men marked his men and battle pre-ceeded. Hark! I hear the chuck of arms renting the air, and the world bonks the conflict." President R. C. Woods, A M. is worthy of the encounters of men and if you believe in his greatness for no other reason, listen to the charming story of his work fashioned and trolled and bathed in tears and perspiration. The story of his struggles and achievements for God and his fellows shall make eventful chapters in the history of men and things. This great institution brings to us obligations great, and opportunities grand. The one opens the door to the field of battle, and the other fashions us whis we fight into characters immortal and sublime. "Our president will tell you about the excellence of the present faculty and student body in character and numbers. He will also tell you how the work is progressing on our administration hall which will be the greatest and finest building erected and owned at the state of Virginia by members of our race. We are carrying the immortal characters of men in brick and stone; they stand forth in towering monuments; a work like no other. At the best members of our race group in any of or outside of the country. Because must be pioneers in every good work. Pathfinders are benefited. Our men must prepare to take their role as among the great lawyers, in the jury boxes, on the bench, in jud in the courts, in the state and national legislative chambers alone. Idea of other men for this is what American citizenship means. This is what we took to save others, nothing else can save us. We cannot live in America on a half measure of citizenship and compete with other fellow citizens who enjoy a full measure. These things must come or we are evermore unable for a state in which one two group legislates for and overrides another cannot endure. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Pierre Eugène de Lepinssay, a member of the General Committee of the Patriotic Union, who has past arrived in New York City from Hattie today issued a statement at the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 10 Fifth Avenue, New York, in which he urged prompt action for the regeneration of his country. If its ruin was not to be made complete by the American Occupation. "For the first time in 116 years" said M. Pierre Bourge de Lespinasma, "Haiti, during the last five years of American Occupation, has defended its onterior debt. This debt is held by Haitian people, for the most part, who have suffered severe hardships because of the sloppage of their incomes. The Haitian Government by purchasing its obligations, are being run out." "If American, wish to do something for Haiti it is necessary to hasten. Human powers have their limits. Haitians have endured for six years. I do not know how long they can continue to endure. Their country has been devastated by recent events. They are living in a state of destroying insecurity. There is no unmissable and under-funded, and upwards of 100,000 of them have migrated to Cuba. The first remedy required is financial. It was a crime against the economic strength of the country to fix the value of the national currency. the gourde, at twenty cents for a gourde, when in the last 25 years the gourde and been worth a dollar and was several times at a premium over the dollar. The military devastation that, has taken place in Haiti in the last five years can be repaired. I will be more difficult to make repatriation for the country in times which are killing the country in violence. These disadvantage with other countries. These crimes committed not in the open out in the silence of diplomatic and financial chambers. A CARD OF THANKS Mr. H. J.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION FILM IS STOPPED IN BOSTON. The National Association for the advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today published a statement giving in detail the events leading up to the prevention by Mayor Peters of Boston of the showing of David W. Griffiths' film, "The birth of a Nation." On May 16 the day on which the lecture was to be shown, Mayor Peters suspended the license of hubert Theatre, acting upon the recommendation of the Board of Censors which had received protests from the Boston Branch for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Butler R. Wilson, secretary of the Boston Branch, A. A. A. C., acted as attorney for the protests against the film, among whom were the Knights of the American region; the Knights of the American region; the Colored Veterans of All Wars; the National Colored Python Organization; the National Equal Rights League; William R. Lewis; Rev. M. A. Shaw of the Twelfth Baptist church; Rev. Walter D. McLean and others. The protest submitted to the Mayor Boston by Mr. Wilson for the N. A. C. P., asked that the showing of a "Birth of a Nation" be prevented. 1. Because it is a malicious misrepresentation of the colored people detecting them as moral pervers. 2. Because it glorifies the most abom- bient crime of the lynching of men, women and children by irresponsible obs. 3. Because it arouses sharp race agitations that cobbler citizens against each other. 4. Because it tends to a breach of a public peace. As a consequence of the protest, a earring was held on the very day on which the film was to be shown. After the hearing and the protest the theatre license was suspended that very day, and it became impossible to show the picture in Boston. The fight made against the "Birth in Nation" in New York City by the national Association for the Advancement of Colored People (dbl) not succeeded as in Boston, because in New York there are no censors with the authority conferred on those in Boston. The Mayor and Police Commissioner of New York, to whom protests were carried, declared their back of local authority to interfere with the showing.

One of The Greatest Sessions in the history of the Virginia Baptist State convention was the 54th annual session which has passed into history. There was indeed a full representation from Virginia, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York, also New Jersey. These men and women united for the purpose of doing more missionary work, more educational work and to lift up the Virginia Theological Seminary and college, Lvchburg to the highest 14 grade standard. The Convention was the guest of Liberty Baptist church, and the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, the sessions being held in the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, Dr. Joseph Dr. Powell. The delegation was indeed large and some of the most noted men of the race were present. All were loud in their praises of the work done by Dr. H. Powell and his committee, and the meals served were all well prepared and strictly first-class. PRESIDENT KING IN CHAIR The convention was called to order at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, by President Dr. T. J. King and was followed by an impressive praise service conducted by Revs. W. T. Hall, R. C. Williams, and J. B. Boddle and followed a Round Table discussion led by Rev. J. E. Briggs, Baptists and Their Doctrines." This discussion continued until 10:30 when the gavel was turned over to the Rev. Dr. H. Powell who acted as master of ceremonies during the delivery of the welcoming remarks, he said that he was not to make an address, but felt that Washington was honored by the meeting of the Va. State Baptist convention and the people had looked forward to the day when they could see the leaders of their people from Virginia. DR. POWELL'S OPINION Dr. Powell considered Just the people would get much out of the meeting and therefore had prepared a great feast for the delegates, and in return, that they would receive, a spiritual and intellectual feast. Dr. Powell has made his place among the men of the age and is doing a great big work in Washington. He presided during the delivery of the welcome addresses. Mrs. Anna Christopher, re presented the Liberty Baptist church in an address of welcome. She said that they were among friends—of course they were. Dr. James E. Willis, extended welcome to the Vermont Avenue Baptist church. The other speakers were: Dr. J. S. Carroll, of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal church; J. W. Lewis, for the business men; Dr. M. D. Norman for the ministerial alliance; Dr. Garner for the Congregational Church. Kelly Miller was also one of the speakers. The addresses were responded to by Rev. C. C. Scott, of Philadelphia, Pa. He declared that Washington was the head quarters of the Baptists of America, because President Harding was a Baptist speaker on the work of the Baptist Theological Seminary and college which that matchless educational leader of the race. Dr. R. C. Woods is President. It was announced that on account of physical condition Dr. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia one of the planners would not be able to be present. Dr. A. A. Galvin offered resolution touching Dr. Graham and a special prayer was offered that he be fully stored to health and spared to the de nomination and race for many years to come. DR. HARVEY JOHNSON'S GREAT ADDRESS. Dr. Harvey Johnson, the venerable minister from Baltimore, Md., and one of the most noted men in the race was introduced, and delivered an able address, which was ordered printed in the minutes of the convention, by unanimous vote. He deserved the honor. Race was the only historic nation ex lating today. The white man was unable to tell where he got his color, or even his existence and he had been a failure. Dr. Johnson showed his interest in the work of the Virginia Baptists by subscribing fifty dollars for the work in Africa saying a check would be sent as soon as he reached home. The patients of the afternoon session, Wednesday, were conducted by Revs. Jas. E. Reed, B. P. Gardner and C. W. Berkley. The question of making a moving picture of the convention was referred to a committee consisting of Revs. J. H. Burks Walter H. Brooks and Dr. Nelson. At this point the gavel was turned over to Vice President S. A. Brown, who presided during the delivery of the mastery address of President J. King. The annual address was indeed an important document, and toured every phase of work being done by the Baptists, and spoke right off for the whole race. In speaking of the educational work Dr. King said: "Our success in every other field depends in no small degree upon the success of our educational institutions. Let our schools fail, and we have no prepared men for our home or foreign pupils. The salvation of the world depends upon the church. The salvation of the church depends upon the pituit. The salvation of the pupil depends upon the schools and systems of theology. And the salvation of all these rests upon God's word, the Holy Spirit and our consecrated endeavor. WORK PROSPERING "I am sure our president will tell you that God has prospered the work of our school at Lynneburg during the year now closing as He has not thitherto. I pause here to thank you for your earnest prayers in her benefit. It was in answer to prayer that our great Creator fashioned into fame, that noble son who occupies the chief seat of responsibility and honor as president of the great institution. He came to the call a youthful workman but none the less a noble Roman, made for the task by the Great Maker of men; at his feet obstacles have blushed and failures have been made to grin. Phophesies that he would lose in the fight have become so ludicrous until the prophets who offer them are in honor bound to respect and congratulate him because of his eminent fitness for the task. "In those dark days when that prophetic and princely character, President Gregory Willis Hayes, laid down the gauntlet in such early stages of the fight, although he had done a hero's part, the future looked a bit dark for our cause, but the Maker of men marked his man and battle proceeded. Hark! I hear the clash of arms renting the air, and the world beholds the conflict. President R. C. Woods, A. M., is worthy of the encomias of men and if you believe in his greatness for no other reason listen to the charming story of his work fashioned and trolled and bathed in tears and perspiration. The story of his struggles and achievements for God and his followers shall make eveil chapters in the history of men and things. This great institution brings to us obligations, that of our faithful guard, one opens the door to the field of batle, and the other fashions us while we fight into characters immortal and sublime. "Our president will tell you about the excellence of the present faculty and student body in character and numbers. He will also tell you how the work is progressing on our administration hall, which will be the greatest and finest building erected and owned in the state of Virginia by members of our race. We are carrying the immortal characters of men in brick and stone; they stand forth in towering monuments; a work the life of which is not being done by members of our race group, in any other er section of the country. But some men must be pioneers in every great work. Pathfinders are benefactors. Our men must prepare to take their places among the great lawyers, in the jury boxes, on the bench as judge in the courts, in the state and national legislative chambers alongside of other men, for this is what American citizenship means.

The local base ball season closed here Saturday with a game between Hampton and Virginia Normal. The Hampton boys were outplayed in every department of the game. Only two men got as far as third base. Robinson started the game on the mound for Hampton but Petersburg seemed to like his style of pitching and drove him from the game in the first innning. Chamberlain, Hampton's star pitcher came to the rescue and temporarily checked the hitting and scoring. But soon the "Wrecking Crew" got busy again and hit Chamberlain consistently throughout the game, piling in total of eight runs—six of which were Chamberlain. Chamberlain pitched for Petersburg and pitched his usual steady game. He struck out seven men and walked one and allowed four seated hits. He seemed to have the Hampton team entirely at his mercy. Besides the pitching of Braxton and the catching of Moses, other features of the game were the catching of Nicholas and the around playing of Turner and Coles. The team work was good. For Hampton the batting of Rosebury was a feature as well as a catch by right fielder Rosebury and the playing of Wood. Virginia Normal lays claim to the championship of the Association having won six games and lost none. DR, W. E. B., DUOIOS TO SPEA AT UNION UNIVERSITY.

The Usher board of the said church is making great progress, by the nuttling efforts of their leader Mr. William Cobbs and his corn of Officers. Services at the Rising. Mt. Zion Baptist church in the morning were electricifying. The Rev. W. E. Browne, student of the Va. U. preached the sermon using as his saint "Jesus the Right of the World," John 8:12. At $30 P. M. we listened to a well profound sermon from the Rev. Q. B. Sims, the pastor elect of the said church. He preached from Hob. 13.3, using as his subject: "Jesus Christ the same Yesterday and today, and forever." It was not a person present who seoul was not fed from Heaven. After everything was gotten out of the way, the Rev. Sims spoke in closing terms to the church that after painful consideration he had decided to accept the call of the church, saying that God's Will, is done by so doing. The Church being filled with the members and friends arose in a great body rejoicing that the Rev. had accepted the call. In expressing his decision of accepting the call he did it in a unique way, seeming not to flatter anyone. We predict a great future for Zion in her choice of a great preacher and a great man. He is a great lover of the Sunday School. Baptizing at I P. M., by the Mt. Cary, June 5th, inst., in the usual place.

A DESPRVED RECOGNITION, Attorney General Daugherty hae gone a long way in recognizing effi- cicney in the colored people, when he named Perry W. Howard, Esq., as his spocial assistant in the Department of Justice, He will have charge ot fraudulent claims against the govern- ment, it is announced in matters con neeted with his own race. His salery Will be $5,000,00 per year. He is presi- dent of tho National Negro Bar Asso- elation and was secretary in charge of Republican headquarters tor color- ed voters in recent national campaigns. He was recommended for this ap- pointment by high oMfetals in the Re- publican Party and enUorsed by nat: fonal committee officials We are some what puzzled though as to the seope of his duties and they seem to yasy materially from those assigned Attor ney Wm. Hf. Lewis, who occupied the bosition of Assistant Attorney Gener- al, specifically in eharge of Indian eaims. How does this appointment ac cord with the position taken by Hon James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor? He sald: | the so-atled Division of Negro ‘Economies has been abolished by the Secretary of Labor largely because there is no seh Uning as segrexating, ‘the ‘economies’ of Negro wage-earn: ers from those of any other race, It is fundamentafly un-American to ere: ‘ate classes or to recognize classes. Our laws do not distinguish between white men and Negroes or any other class ar classes. But ke made further comment when be added: . “It ig recognized that there is « raee distinction and sometimes it is vory convenient to have the assistance of a representative of a race in de ing with the members of that race. So far as labor matters are concerned the race distinction becomes more pro nounced in the field of sollective bar gaining when troubles between’ em- polyers nnd. omployees. threaten For that reason a member of the Negro race has been ap- pointed a commissioner of conciliation who hus been detailed to serve where- ever the Secretary may feel the need of race representatjon and to advise the Secretary. Is this the position of Hon. Honry ™M. Daugherty? To us, it seems to be a case of “now you seo me, new you con't.” It is playing “feat and leose.” ‘What docs it moan? Aro wo te have an appointment “upon all fours,” whore the appoiytee is qualified and under his commission is autharixed to act in any ease affecting the Department of Justice, or are we to have political @ppointments for effect, while the ap. pointing power is watching the effect upon public sentiment and endeayvor- ing to ascertain, whether or not it will approve this recognition of one of the most loyal parts of tko Republican Tarty and the Nation in existence?

In view of the friction existing he tween these two wings, how can this best be done? We are of the poinion that the finanefal interest, better known as the business colored men of the commonwealth, who have not been actively allled with party polities should make this “appent to Cacsar’ for recognition in this State.

Al the meeting of the National Repub Hean Convention at Chieage, the “Lily White” Republican organizations in North Carolina and Virginia were recognized and accordingly had the stamp of regularity. Now, that the election is over, these organtiattons are recommending to the President of the United States for appointment tc office, men who were front awd for Most In the advocacy of these un-Ro publican dogmas. ‘The Administration is taking the Bround that it must recognize these white men and must yfeld to their Wishes in the matter of gppotutnioat While mighty unpleasunt, this is (re logleal conclusion.

Will they bo given o« plicit instructions as to their dutien and wit he see to It that their actions now be made to “square” with the atti tude of the present ndministration? It was reported that the Judtela-y Committee of the United Stutes Ser ate had rejected the nomination, Attorney Frank Linney as United States District Attorney for the Weat ern District of North Carolina, ‘The report was as follows: Washington, D.

It is noted in this connection that the confirmation of David H.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES one Year.....$ 2.00 ix Months.....1.19 three Months......80 foreign Subscriptions.....2.50 SATURDAY.....MAY 28, 1921 Dying is easy; living is hard work. Good men are scarce; bad men are plentiful. Few people, who make money know how to properly spend it. Cursed is the hypocrite for he shall inherit the earth. You must deny yourself comforts, if you wish to save money. Evading responsibility will make a weakling of an individual. There is no use losing money, when you can save it. Irresponsible people continue to be irresponsible. Prices are coming down and wages are said to be following suit. Some people put down stumbling blocks for themselves to stumble over. Some people do more praying than working. They are usually hard up and behind time. A man, who is "sleepy-headed" is almost as bad as a woman, who is the same way. The automobile industry has succeeded in erecting a mammoth gate way to the poor-house. People, who advocated war a few years ago are now outspoken for peace. The worries of this life sometime make one wish for the promised happiness in the other. Some people's mouths are set for lying, just like some other folk's mouths are set for telling the truth. The Heavenly road 'is mighty slippery and most of us have a tende-way to fall down while travelling it. The Congress is still worrying at Washington and arguing, while the people are suffering. We cannot win by needlessly making enemies, for we should engage in the task of making friends. You cannot sing joyous songs during trouble and you cannot, sing mournful dirges during a happy season. The office-seekers are with us and President Harding has a long list of applications favoring them. Fault finding is all right if you are justified in finding fault and practices the habit according cred. when it is deserved. The outlook for peace in this world is gloomy. The outlook for war is bright. Peace is bright, though and war is gloomy. Ambassador George Harvey shattored many of the Wilson ideals, when he made that speech a few days ago in London. You cannot spring up into Heaven and remain there any more than you can jump up from the earth and remain there. Some people can see out of both eyes, but as a rule, they look out on one. They are apparently onesided in their opinions and in their performances. They made three thousand, six hundred and twelve arrests in the dry crusade in New York and less than 26 per cent. of those arrested will be found guilty. Bashfulness and modesty seem to have left this "neck of the woofs" with some of the women we meet and men seem to treat women, not as women, but "as other men." --- These short skirts have given some of these youngsters a rude awakening as to the size of the limbs, which some of these long skirts have been sheltering. R Children impress us with their innocence and undiluted happiness. Grown people sometimes try to imitate children in this respect, but as a rule they make a dismal failure. There are more "dead-beats" in some sections of the country than there are in some others, but all sections have a fair proportion of these specimens of humanity. Going up to Heaven is all right, but the thing that worries the average resident of this earth is that no arrangements have been made about coming down from there. Pay your honest debts and do not make obligations ahead of your earning capacity. What you have earned belongs to you and you may not be here to collect what you have not earned. ```markdown ``` A policeman in New York has just found out that there is no money in the police business and he has taken the job of driving a pie wagon. We could have told him this many years ago. Colored folks, make friends with the white folks. White folks, make friends with the colored folks. Both have to live here and both will be required to make this section of ours all that it should be. The Liberian Commission, headed by President King is still waiting for that five million dollars. It looks as though it has waited long enough. Dr. Brentat Lyon of Baltimore knows about the embarrassments of waiting. The curfew law in a northern village has been found to be impossible of enforcement, due to the fact that owing to short skirts used by all classes, the officers could not tell in the night-time the "old hens" from the "chickens." Few jurists in the country will be more generally mourned than Chief Justice White, who passed peacefully away in Washington. A democrat, appointed by a Republican Presididut, he won the hearts of all by his fearless, conscientious decisions. The Good Roads' movement has been a success in the matter of arranging public sentiment to the point of demanding that the automobile owners shall pay the bill. In travelling some of the roads, it seems to be "only this and nothing more." God made man and woman, with the one as a help-meet of the other. Man has changed all this. We find now men-women and women-men with no distinguishing attire at times to distinguish the gosses. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The Holy Bible says that until the end of time,—the beginning of the Millennium, "there shall be wars and rumors of wars." Still, there were theorists who believed that this biblical declaration could be negatived and obliterated by the establishment of a League of Nations. Vain hope! The United States Railroad Labor Board has decided that all wages paid to unskilled laborers on the railroads of the country shall be reduced from July 1 1921 This will be followed. It is said by a reduction in freight and passenger rates. There is no longer any question, but what automobile travel is seriously affecting the passenger travel on the railroads. The prosecution and persecution of G. C. Bergdoll's mother is one of the most unpleasant aftermaths of the World War. When a mother is held up to ridicule and contempt for defending her son, no matter now notorious and vile he may be, the degeneration of this age and her traducers is complete. --- Chris J. Perry, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune is dead. Thus passed away another one of the pioneer colored journalists of the country. He was a man of even temperament, with a lovable disposition and with an ability that challenged admiration. We have known him for more than a quarter of a century and we were shocked to learn that he too had gone the way of the earth. The brightest lights of the race are passing away. Bishop G. W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion Church is dead. He was one of the most influential divines in that great organization and he has been a central figure in the movement for the betterment of racial conditions. The Church has lost one of its foundation pillars and it will be a difficult task to fill his place. The Hebrews, better known as the Jews have started a propaganda fund of one hundred thousand dollars to combat the injurious campaign now being waged against "God's chosen people" by Millionaire Henry Ford Colored folks, in their condemnation of Thomas Dixon and his army of supporters did not have that kind of "horse sense." They depended upon a huge outcry against the evil and did not raise sufficient money to combat this propaganda against them. ```markdown ``` Germany is obeying with alicerity the instructions from Paris and London with the hope that the breaking point may be reached between the Allies. In the meantime, the knowing ones are claiming that promises made by those in authority do not represent the views of the German people and their ultimate fulfillment will never be accomplished. When Associate Justice Ashley M. Gould of the District Supreme Court died at Washington, one of the greatest jurists who ever sat upon a district bench passed out to the other world He was a man of transcendental ability and he wore his judicial robes with a quiet dignity, which would have becoming fitted the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. His appointment as Chief Justice in place of the lamented Chief Justice White would have been a most timely and just recognition of his great judicial ability and his transcendent love of justice in all of his dealing with those with whom he came in contact. --- The situation in upper Sillestra is becoming acute and it now seems that Germany is giving France "a Roland for hor Oliver." It is known and understood that the insurgent Poles, who are over-running this country, have the secret backing of the French Republic. Now Germany is defending the country with an irregular army, which has the secret backing of the German Republic. France is demanding that the latter restrain these German troops and the Allies are demanding that the Polish Government which is conniving and aiding the Polish invasion, backed by France shall restrain these Polish Revolutionists. It begins to look as though another European war is in sight. --- Editor P. B. Young, of the Norfolk Journal and Guide has decided to start another campaign. He has usually been successful in his crusades. He does not like the advertisers method of leaving off the prefix "Bellis" and "Mirai" in advertisements relating to the straightening of the human hair. He has refused to accept "cuts" and copy, in which this reflection upon our women occurs. There is hardly any doubt, but what he is right in this. The remedy, he proposes to apply is drastic and he enlists the support of the colored press in his crusade. He may find that there is work for him to do also at home, in the city and telephone directories. If the colored people will heed Editor Young's appeal, advertisers, who want the business and who desire to make the money will heed it also. There is little doubt now, but what President Harding and his advisors felt keenly the charge that in appointing a personal representative to observe the actions and to sit with the Supreme Council and in naming an unofficial representative upon the Reparation Commission he had shown a disposition to follow in the foot-steps of his predecessor in office and was paving the way for the United States of America to enter the League of Nations with the plan thereof modified to meet certain senatorial objections. To counteract this, he permitted Ambassador Harvey to make one of the most sensational addresses ever heard in England. It not only repudiated the League of Nations and set forth the open opposition of the United States thereto, but it nullified and repudiated President Woodrow Wilson's favorite declaration that we entered the world war for humanitarian reasons and to make the world safe for democracy. President Harding has not shown any disposition to criticize the brilliant Ambassador for his utterances and there is every reason to believe that his utterances were inspired. A DESERVED RECOGNITION Attorney General Daugherty has gone a long way in recognizing efficiency in the colored people, when he named Perry W. Howard, Esq., as his special assistant in the Department of Justice. He will have charge of fraudulent claims against the government, it is announced in matters connected with his own race. His salary will be $5,000.00 per year. He is president of the National Negro Bar Association and was secretary in charge of Republican headquarters for colored voters in recent national campaigns. He was recommended for this appointment by high officials in the Republican Party and endorsed by national committee officials. We are some what puzzled though as to the scope of his duties and they seem to vary materially from those assigned Attorney Wm. H. Lewis, who occupied the position of Assistant Attorney General, specifically in charge of Indian claims. How does this appointment accord with the position taken by Hon. James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor? He said: "The so-called Division of Negro Economics has been abolished by the Secretary of Labor largely because there is no such thing as segregating the 'economies' of Negro wage-carriers from those of any other race. It is fundamentally un-American to create classes or to recognize classes. Our laws do not distinguish between white men and Negroes or any other class or classes. But he made further comment when he added: "It is recognized that there is a race distinction and sometimes it is very convenient to have the assistance of a representative of a race in dealing with the members of that race. So far as labor matters are concerned the race distinction becomes more pronounced in the field of collective bargaining when troubles between employees and. employees threaten For that reason a member of the Negro race has been appointed a commissioner of conciliation who has been detailed to serve wherever the Secretary may feel the need of race representation and to advise the Secretary. Is this the position of Hon. Henry M. Daugherty? To us, it seems to be a case of "now you see me, new you don't." It is playing "fast and loose." What does it mean? Are we to have an appointment "upon all fours," where the appointee is qualified and under his commission is authorized to act in any case affecting the Department of Justice, or are we to have political appointments for effect, while the appointing power is watching the effect upon public sentiment and endeavoring to ascertain, whether or not it will approve this recognition of one of the most loyal parts of the Republican Party and the Nation in existence? We are frank to say that we are delighted with this recognition of one so able and worthy, but we would as much expect the Supreme Court of the United States to assign to Associate Justice Brandels cases distinctively Hebrew as to expect Mr. Perry W. Howard to be confined exclusively to claims and cases that would encourage his own people. We thank Attorney General. and his Department unbounded success during the coming years. THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN VIRGINIA. The political situation in Virginia at this time is peculiar relative to the recognition of the Republican Party as recognized by the National Republican Committee and the other wing as led by Attorney J. R. Pollard of this city. The regular organization is proceeding with business just as though the colored Republicans in this State had no actual existence. The indications are that the colored citizens will not obtain any recognition what ever unless some way is found to approach the regular party organization and from its decision against the colored citizens make an appeal to the President of the United States at Washington. In view of the friction existing between these two wings, how can this best be done? We are of the opinion that the financial interest, better known as the business colored men of the commonwealth, who have not been actively allied with party politics should make this "appear to Caesar" for recognition in this State. It will not do for colored men in the most progressive state in the Union, so far as colored people are concerned to "lay down" so to speak and obtain no official recognition whatever. We believe that Hon. C. Bacom Slomp can be induced to listen to reason, that this Negro-hating propaganda can be caused to disappear "like frost before the sun," if the proper men are selected to present the case in the proper manner. This is no time for abuse or for using intemperate language or for using threats We weaken our case by so doing. These political leaders opposed to us know the extent of our power and are able to ascertain the limit to our influence. The black vote in the North is our greatest asset, although the black vote in the South will prove a very effective weapon. Most of us have relatives, who are living North now and who have qualified themselves to vote. We need a visible, breathing, influential political organization in the South with men, who will put up the necessary funds to finance their organizations and to enforce their decrees. The situation is alarming to an interested observer and it seems to us that we have reached the point where it is evident that we must "Awake, erise or he forever fallen!" A RIDICULOUS LAW FOR INTERTAINMENTS. The Collector of Internal Revenue, Mr. J. G. Noel, with Mr. George W. Rogers as Chief Field Deputy must be commended for their efforts to soften the blow and to exercise common sense in the enforcement of one of the most omorous and ridiculous laws ever placed upon the statute books of this country by the Congress. It is a notification that Articles 48 and 56 of Regulations 43 prescribe the method of procedure, both on the part of applicants to have tickets printed and for the printer of tickets. Every one, who may desire tickets printed for entertainments, charitable or otherwise and whether the number be one hundred or ten thousand must go down to the Custom House, find the Collector or his Deputy and etter secure an exemption certificate or make a report of every ticket sold, whether the number be one or one thousand. The person or organization must pay one cent for each ten cents charged or fraction thereof. In other words, the same rules, governing moving picture houses govern in this case. Where there is a difference in price charged for a lady, the tax must be the same as that charged for a gentle man. Then the printer is made to render service without compensation. He is to furnish the name and address of the person to whom tickets are furnished, the number of tickets furnished, a proof of the ticket printed and if they are serially numbered, he must furnish a statement of the numbers. But the most outrageous part of the who's business is that if a person does not know the law and violates it without being informed of its existence, he is to be fined the minimum sum of one hundred dollars. The regular fine is one thousand dollars and a wilful violation of the law carries with it a fine of ten thousand dollars and imprisonment. In a pealsentary for one year together with the payment of the cost of prosecution. This is making a simple misdemeanor offense punishable the same as a felony. The Congress that canceled such a law as that should be put out of business, now, henceforth and forevermore. As for us, we are through printing tickets. Salesmen can show us any proof of their stock they please, but they can cut out the stock and the price lets relating to tickets. On that stock, "go way back and sit down." There is accumulating evidence that this race question has reached an acute stage in the councils of the Republican administration at Washington. At the meeting of the National Republican Convention at Chicago, the "Lily White" Republican organizations in North Carolina and Virginia were recognized and accordingly had the stamp of regularity. Now, that the election is over, these organizations are recommending to the President of the United States for appointment to office, men who were front and foremost in the advocacy of these un-Republican dogmas. The Administration is taking the ground that it must recognize these white men and must yield to their wishes in the matter of appointment. While mighty unpleasant, this is the logical conclusion. But, certain it is to if President Harding and his cabins could not control these Negro hatters before the appointment to office, he can control them after their appointment to office. Will they be given explicit instructions as to their duties and will he see to it that their actions now be made to "square" with the attitude of the present administration? It was reported that the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate had rejected the nomination o. Attorney Frank Linney as United States District Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. The report was as follows: Washington, D.C.—The Linney nomination came before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate on Monday, May 16th, but that committee balked at confirming the lily-white Republican as United States Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. Linney's nomination for this office, in the face of a storm of protests from Negroes of the state, is due largely to the fact that Linney, as a Republican delegate at-large to the Chicago convention, disregarded instructions of the state primary which declared in favor of Johnson of California and voted for Harding after having ported Lowden until his elimination by disclosure of financial scandals. It is noted in this connection that the confirmation of David H. Blair as Commissioner of Internal Revenue for North Carolina is being held up in the Senate by the eight conducted by Senator Hiram Johnson based on the same facts, i.e. Blair as a delegate, ignored primary instructions and voted for Lowden first, switching afterwards to Harding. The principal act stake, says Senator Johnson, is whether or not a delegation elected to a national convention can ignore the verdict of its state preferential primary and vote for some one else other than the choice of the skate primary. The appointment of Linney as was that of Blair, is believed to be in payment for the support given Harding at Chicago and it entirely disregards the welfare of the Negro Republican of the South. The Judiciary Committee at one stage of its proceedings practically rejected Linney but decided at the request of Senator Overman of North Carolina one of the Democratic leaders, not to close the case and to give Linney a hearing. The committee was first apprised of the allegations that Linney exerted his influence and efforts against the voting of Negroes by Bishop G. W. Clinton, a colored bishop of North Carolina. He wrote a letter of complaint to the committee. In addition to this Senator Hiram Johnson of California advised the committee that he had received a number of letters from North Carolina protesting against Linney's selection for district attorney and charging that he had not only opposed voting by Negroes but had sought to form a coalition with Democrats to bar the Negro from the polls. In the documents submitted by Senator Johnson was a letter written by Linney, as chairman of the Republican State Committee to the Democratic State Chairman in which he had made it plain he was not only opposed to Negroes voting, but wanted to enter into a coalition with the Democrats 'keep them away from the polls for years to come. After listening to the letters and documents Senator Borah declared he would vote for a "yellow dog" before he would vote for Linney. Senator Reed of Missouri, Democrat, also said as much. Senator Overman moved to report the nomination favorably. Tais was voted down by a large vote. The matter would have ended there with Linney rejected but not Senator Overman urged that final action be deferred until a hearing could be arranged. The committee granted Senator Overman's request. The matter was referred to a sub-subcommittee consisting of Senators Ernst, of Kentucky; Cummings and Overman. Attorney Linney won. The New York Age tells of the protest in the following languages: Raleigh, N. C. — President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty have practically approved of the disaffirmation of the eligible and qualified Negro in the South by the recent managers of the Republican organizations ("the illy whites") by sending to the United States Senate the name of Frank Libney for United States Attorney, Western District of North Carolina. Libney is chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee and last Fall, in the name of the Republican party, made overtures to the chairman of the Democratic party to meet him halfway that they might come to some agreement by which they might eliminate the educated Negro, obligible to vote, from politics, in the late can palign, as well as from all future police campaigns. He and other leading officers of the party after the Democratic chairman didn't need to his suggestion or overtures, requested the Democratic registrars last Fall to register every white person, whether literate or illiterate, but to refuse registration to the colored electorate, even if he could comply with the Constitution regulating the qualifications for suffrage. The above facts and information regarding Frank Linney have been sent to President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty. Yet, in the face of this information concerning the political tactics of Linney, President Harding ingores the protests of 100,000 Negro Republicans in North Carolina by nominating Linney for the responsible and important position of United States Attorney. Such conduct is discouraging, not only to the colored Republicans in this state, but to Negroes throughout the South because it is tantamount to endorsing the inquisitive suffrage measure initiated by the Southern Bourbon democracy and subsequently adopted and put in operation by the 'Illy-whites.' The question was primarily up to Attorney General Daugherty and not to the President. What are you going to do about it? Delegations should wait upon the Attorney General of the United States and have him define his position upon this all important question. Shall colored citizens of the United States continue to be the victims of radical race prejudice? Now is the time to make the issue. For our part, we do not like the outlook. It should not be a difficult task to secure even and exact justice at the hands of the distinguished statesman, who now occupies the White House of the nation. 23 DEAD, 130 HURT RESULT OF RIOT IN EGYPTIAN PORT Alexandria Witnesses Wild Orgy of Bloodshed When Greeks Fight Natives. Alexadria, Egypt, May 23.—It was officially announced this afternoon that twenty-three persons had been killed and 130 wounded in rioting Sunday and this morning. The police casualties were not given out. The official commanique says: The trouble started between low class Greeks and natives in Anastasia street from a unknown cause. The indiscriminate fighting and revolver shooting there spread to other districts. The police and Egyptian troops quelled the disturbance by 3 o'clock in the morning. INCENDIARY BREAK OUT At 7 o'clock many incendiary fires broke out over the town, but all were quenched or controlled by noon. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the total casualties numbered twenty-three native policemen seriously wounded. There were no British civilian or militay casualties. "Firing from balconies by Europeans and natives continues. The general officer commanding is issuing a proclamation threatens to open fire on such houses with machine guns. The police have made a large number of arrests. The troops are taking up new positions for the night." British troops have arrived and taken charge of the town. It is rumored that the outbreak arose from the killing of a native by a Greek, which led to attacks by the natives and students on Greeks and other Europeans. Ambulances were busy all night taking the wounded to hospitals, many fires were started and in one district it was reported that people were burned alive. MOBS RUN RAMPANT Mobs during the night smashed windows for hours and this morning all business establishments are closed. Before the arrival of the soldiers this morning Europeans had gathered at the government offices, demanding protection or permission to protect themselves. They greeted the troops upon their arrival with great enthusiasm. EUROPEANS BURNED ALIVE London, May 23.—A dispatch from Cairo to the Exchange, Telegraph Co., reports many dead lying in the streets of Alexandria. One report states two Europeans were drenched with petrol and burned in the streets. On Sunday evening it is known that some benzine stores near the Alexandria docks wereransacked. A band of 1,500 armed Bedouins says the Cairo message, is reported to be advancing on Ramleh, five miles northwest of Alexandria "to participate in a general revolution which but for the presence of the British may succeed." Many telephone lines have been out. Cairo, adds the message is in an exited state, but no disorders have developed there. TROOPS AND SANY TEINERS IN CLASH IN TEMPORARY. Thurles, Ireland May 23.—Troops filling six lorries and between seventy and eighty Sinn Féin Others clashed last evening at Uppercath Church, County Tippery, and one man said to have been the leader of the Sinn Féiners, was killed. Two others were wounded seriously as also were a number of civilian bystanders. Cork, May 23.—A bomb was known at four members of the night staff of the Cork Excavator as they were on their way home, early this morning. Christopher Wash and Stephen Darley were both injured, while Fredieser Toughy and Edward Collins were wounded, wounded. TREATY DEFIED AND PEACE IS THREATENED SAYS PREMIER. Lloyd George Tolls Commons He is Aharmed and Frightened Unless World Confidence is Restored London, May 13.—Prime Minister Lloyd George, to a dramatic speech in the House of Commons today concern ing the Siliconian ambroglio, character- ized the action of the Polish insurce- rionists as a complete defiance of the Treaty of Versailles. "I think it is right I should speak quite plainly." Mr. Lloyd George de- clared, "because if these things can happen and we take no notice and do not deal with them with that stern justice which has characterized the attitude of this country in all its deal- ings abroad, it is going to be fatal to the peace of Europe. If that is distur- ed I do not see what is going to hap- pen to Europe. I am alarmed. I am frightened that unless some confidence is restored to the world the consequences may be of the most terrible character, because of the whole industrial world is so built up on credit and confidence that once that is shaken I do not see how it can be robult. It therefore is essential in the interests of the nation that whatever our prejudices and peculiarities whether we like this man or dislike the other, we should recognize that justice has nothing to do with likes or dislikes and that we must decide fairly and sternly according to the pact we ourselves have signed. Mr. Lloyd George declared the Treaty of Versailles was the charter of Polish freedom and that she was the last country of Europe who was the right to complain about the treaty. Poland did not win her liberty, the Prime Minister asserted. Her liberty was due to Italy, Great Britain and France. There is not a letter of the treaty that does not mean a young British life, that does not mean nearly two French lives, and there were hundreds of thousands of Italians," the Prime Minister continued. Mr. Lloyd George cited that the Poles were divided in the war, half of them fighting with the Germans. They fell in German uniforms," he declared, and shot down Frenchmen, British and Italians who were fighting for their freedom." I see Korfanty (leader of the Polish insurrectionists) has said that the Poles in Silesia would die rather than surrender if they had thought that earlier, when the battle for Polish freedom was being fought, there would have been fewer British, French and Italian lives lost. But they only think of it when the Germans are disarmed and helpless. The Polish Government has repudiated responsibility and I am bound to accept that statement as representing their views, but it has happened once too often." The Prime Minister recalled the settlement with Lithuania, to which the United States, France, Italy and Great Britain were parties. Vilna was occupied by regular Polish troops in defiance of the Allies," he said. "They were asked to retire and they said, 'We have no responsibility for it.'" The same thing is happening now. The same disclaimer of responsibility, Arma passing from Poland and officers crossing her from tiers make it very difficult to feel that those rejudictions of responsibility are anything but purely verbal. PLEADS FOR THE UPHOLDING OF THE TREATY Mr. Lloyd George pleaded for the upholding of the treaty, both for the sake of honor and for safety and security. There were two ways of dealing with the Silesian situation, he declared. One was that Allied forces insist on restoring order. It was not for him to express a military opinion and he did not insist on an alternative. Either the allies ought to insist upon the treaty being respected or they ought to allow the Germans to do so. The Prime Minister continued: "Not merely to disarm Germany, but to say that such troops as she has are not to be permitted to take part in restoring order—that is not fair. To say to Germany, 'Here is your province, here is something which has been decided by the Treaty of Versailles either for or against you but the poles are to be allowed in defiance of that treaty to take it and you will not be allowed to defend yourselves in a province which has been yours for 200 years and which certainly has not been Polish for 600 years is discreditable and not worthy of the honor of any land. I am perfectly certain that will not be the attitude the Allies will take. The only thing which I would like to say in behalf of the Government is this: Whatever happens we cannot accept a fait accompli. That would be to permit a defiance which might lead to consequences of the most disastrous klal." The Prime Minister concluded with a reference to Russia, which he said now was broken but would be a poweful, dominant country and would have a word in the future of the world. None know, he said, what Russia's views would be or with whom she would side. Those wishing to destroy the treaty of Versailles, Mr. Bloyd George declared, should think of the possibilities of the rest of Continental Europe. In a joint note to the Allies last week Berlin asked to be allowed to send troops to restore order in Silasia Gabled dispatches from Paris stated that Primier Briand in reply had sharply reluked Berlin, declaring that the Allied forces were ample to deal with the situation and that any military step taken by Germany would be in violation of the Treaty of Versailles.

BERLIN SAYS BRITAIN PROMISED AID TO STOP INVASION. Berlin, May 13.—Belief is growing here that a break in friendly relations between Britain and France is imminent over the situation in Silesia and continued threats from Paris of the occupation of the Ruhr Valley. From well informed sources it is learned that Lloyd George has told Germany that he will oppose the occupation of the coal district and will in sist on the retention by Germany of the industrial sections of Upper Silesia, in spite of the fact that they have been seized by the Poles with the apparent connivance of the French military forces. The statement is made that Dr. Stresemann who had been invited to form a Cabinet, appealed to the British Premier, and that soon after the vote on the indemnity was taken in the Reichstag a reply came saying that Britain would uphold Germany in opposing France's plans in Silesia and the Ruhr. It is pointed out that this dramatic swing of British policy away from the Entente with France and toward an understanding with Germany comes at a critical moment. The interalled Commission at Oppel, on which the strongest figure is the French General Le Rond, has arranged an armistice with the Polish "inurgents" whereby the line drawn by their leader, Adalbert Korfant, receives its first official sanction. This line gives to the Poles almost complete possession of the industrial district, including the vital coal mines. GEMMANS REFUSE TO RECOG- NIZE THE ARMISTIC The German irregulars, known as the Sebstahschutz, who have been gathering in force in the Silesian region, have refused to recognize this armistice and fighting has gone on between them and the Poles. The Sebstahschutz are massing before Kreuzburg in the northern corner of the plebisite district, and word has been received here that they intended to advance regardless of the armistice. The have been conducting guerrilla warfare for several days. As the towns which the Sebstahschutz will attack are guarded by French plebisite troops, while the inurgent Poles occupy the rural districts, the expected battle will thus be between the German irregulars on the one side and the French and Poles on the other. France has warned Germany against any interference with Upper Silesian affairs and might find in such an encounter an excuse for threatened action in the Ruhr and elsewhere. On the other hand, loss of Siliesia is the one thing the German nation will not accept. The Selbstschutz have the backing of public polition, and all efforts of the Government—which is fearful of French reprisals—to swerve public favor away from these volunteers has been futile. As the Government is in no position to act officially to save the vital province Germans without official responsibility are taking the matter in hand with results yet to be seen. HEAD OF PEACE SECTION IN MINISTRY RESIGNS Dr. Otto Goeppert, head of the Peace Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has resigned, the Vossische Zeitung announces. His withdrawal, it is fitted, is because he regards the terms of the Allies accepted by Germany as exceeding the limits of the peace treaty. Determination on the part of Germany to carry out engagement's regarding reparations was expressed by Dr. Joseph Wirth, the Chancellor, speaking before the Imperial Council yesterday. He expressed the hope that the Allies would be equitable in reaching their decisions relative to Siolisa. The parliamentary majority," he said, "has declared itself in favor of acceptance of the Entente ultimatum and the Government will pursue a policy directed to the realization of this affirmation by performance. We sincerely desire to carry out our promises, we want to fulfill the conditions of the ultimatum with all our strength. We expect the other side, however, after seeing this evidence of our good will, to recognize our attitude. We particularly expect the game will be fairly played by all on the other side in disposing of the Upper Silesia question. Resolutions urging an enlargement of the present German Cabinet so that it may include a representative of the German People's Party have been adopted by the parliamentary delegation of the Democratic Party. Dr. Gustay Stressemann is leader of the German People's Party. The Democrats emphasize the desirability of enlisting all national electors, regardless of their previous attitude on the ultimatum issue. They therefore, suggest recruiting Ministers, not only from the People's Party but other economic and financial agencies willing to support the new Government in the task of carrying out the reparations conditions. Dr. Rosen, German Minister to Holland, is being urged to accept the Foreign Ministry. Although not accused politically, he is nominally, counted a Democrat. The Finance and Restoration portfolios also are to be filled. Chancellor Wirth has conferred with Dr. Peters, Commissioner for Disarmament, regarding the Bavarian situation which the Central Government is obliged to mutangle. Reports from Munich indicate the coalition parties constituting the present Bavarian alliance, continue their attitude of opposition.

FRANCE SUPPORTING POLAND IN INVASION. New War Between Germans and Poles Practically Authorized by Lloyd George, With England Supporting Teutons—Only Backdown by French Will Prevent Hostilities. Premier Lloyd George served an ultimatum on France Friday by announcing in the House of Commons that he saw no reason why Germany should be prevented from preserving order in Silesia against Polish aggression. A new war between Germany and Poland is thus practically authorized by the British Premier, with Great Britain supporting Germany. Only a backdown by France can prevent hostilities. BE EFFICIENT AND SUPPLIED BE AN AID ... EXCEED PREPARE SPECIES We are made to double our Hairdressers to recognize the most THE EXCELLENT Most Thoroughest There is a potent Hairdresser Lloyd George's sensational declaration has been caused primarily by France's support of Poland's effort to annex Upper Silesia by force of arms. The French Government could halt the Polish movement by a simple word, be cause all the influence the Allies now posses at Warsaw is in France's keeping. But France has refused to interfere with the imperialistic alms of her protege because France wants to do everything possible permanently to weaken Germany. France has declared that if German troops are used to repel the Poles France will invade the Ruhr. Germany, however, now has British sanction for doing this very thing, and Italy supports England. Unless, there fore, France backs down, the Allies are heading for a serious split with Great Britain and Italy supporting Germany against France. Lloyd George undoubtedly has adopted a grave tone for the express purpose of making the issue clear to France from the start. For it is now apparent that Great Britain and Italy intended to protect Germany against any movement, upon preventing the full recovery of the German people. NATURE PROVIDES THE INGREDIENTS.

Lloyd George Tells Commons He is Alarmed and Frightened Unless World Confidence is Restored London, May 13.—Prime Minister Lloyd George, to a dramatic speech in the House of Commons today concerning the Siliesian imbroglio, characterized the action of the Polish insurrectionists as a complete definance of the Treaty of Versailles. "I think it is right I should speak quite plainly." Mr. Lloyd George declared, "because if these things can happen and we take no notice and do not deal with them with that stern justice which has characterized the attitude of this country in all its dealings abroad, it is going to be fatal to the peace of Europe. If that is disturbed I do not see what its going to hapen to Europe. I am glarmeh, I am frightened that unless some confidence is restored to the world the consequences may be of the most terrible character, because of the whole industrial world is so built up on credit and confidence that once that is shaken I do not see how it can be robult. It therefore is essential in the interests of the nation that whatever our prejudices and pue dictions whether we like this man or dislike the other, we should recognize that justice has nothing to do with likes or dislikes and that we must decide fairly and sternly according to the pact we ourselves have signed. Mr. Lloyd George declared the Treaty of Versailles was the charter of Polish freedom and that she was the last country of Europe who use the right to complain about the treaty. Poland did not win her liberty, the Prime Minister asserted. Her liberty was due to Italy. Great Britain and France. There is not a letter of the treaty that does not mean a young British life, that does not mean nearly two French lives, and there were hundreds of thousands of Italians," the Prime Minister continued. Mr. Lloyd George cited that the Poles were divided in the war, half of them fighting with the Germans.

But they only think of it when the Germans are disarmed and helpes. The Polish Government has repudiated responsibility and I am bound to accept that statement as representing their views, but it has happened once too often." The Prime Minister recalled the settlement with Lithuania, to which the United States, France, Italy and Great Britain were parties. Vilma was occupied by regular Polish troops in defence of the Allies," he said. "They were asked to retire and they said, 'We have no responsibility for it.' The same thing is happening now. The same disclaimer of responsibility, Arma passing from Poland and officers crossing her from tiers make it very difficult to feel that' those rejudictions of responsibility are anything but purely verbal PLEADS FOR THE UPHOLDING OF THE TREATY Mr. Lloyd George pleaded for the upholding of the treaty, both for the sake of honor and for safety and security.

FRANCE SUPPORTING POLAND IN INVASION. New War Between Germans and Poles Practically Authorized by Lloyd George. With England Supporting Teutons—Only Backdown by French Will Prevent Hostilities. Premier Lloyd George served an ultimatum on France Friday by announcing in the House of Commons that he saw no reason why Germany should be prevented from preserving order in Silesia against Polish aggression. A new war between Germany and Poland is thus practically authorized by the British Premier, with Great Britain supporting Germany. Only a backdown by France can prevent hostilities. BE EFFICIENT AND SUCCESS BE AN AFFECTIVE EXCEEDS PREPARED SPECIAL WE are made to double our Hairdressers to recognize the new THE EXCEEDS Most Thorough There is a potent Hairdresser Lloyd George's sensational declaration has been caused primarily by France's support of Poland's effort to annex Upper Silesia by force of arms. The French Government could halt the Polish movement by a simple word, be cause all the influence the Allies now posses at Warsaw is in France's keeping. But France has refused to interfere with the imperialistic aims of her protege because France wants to do everything possible permanently to weaken Germany. France has declared that if German troops are used to repel the Poles France will invade the Ruhr. Germany, however, now has British sanction for doing this very thing, and Italy supports England. Unless, there fore, France backs down, the Allies are heading for a serious split with Great Britain and Italy supporting Germany against France. Lloyd George undoubtedly has adopted a grave tone for the express purpose of making the issue clear to France from the start. For it is now apparent that Great Britain and Italy intended to protect Germany against any movement: upon preventing the full recovery of the German people. NATURE PROVIDES THE INGREDIENTS. Argo Phosphate, the New Herbal Remedy, Now Endorsed by Local People. If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nutrition, which is absolutely essential to the recovery of other diseased parts, will be lacking and there can be no permanent relief.

Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo Phosphate, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and for vitalizing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial results are noticed from the first day.

LOPRICE LAND CORPORATION Care of BRAGG BROS. & CO. 506 North Second Street Randolph 4559 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH WORK IN WEST AFRICA. Purchase of 8,000 acres of farm land in Portuguese West Africa for a demonstration farm and trades school for African Negroes on the model of Hampton and Turkegee Institute, has been made by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was announced by the Church's Committee on Conversation and Advance, which met in Chicago, Illinois, April 2, 1921. The high cost of living in Africa since the war has caused real hardship to the native population missionaries report. Cotton cloth and iron holes cost five times more than in 1914. Before the war plantations hands wore three or four yards of cloth around them, now only half a yard is used and many natives wear only the skin of some bush cat or gazelle. A brewing plant simulated on the tract and operated by water power will be converted by the Methodists into a sugar mill. Establishment of the farm and trades school forms part of a plan to raise the economic status of the African natives, which investigation found to be necessary for successful mission work on a large scale among them says the announcement. The property was acquired in accordance with the Methodist Episcopal Centenary programme for Africa, which calls for a chain of six such in situations in Central Africa—one for each Methodist mission conference there. Purchase of the tract at Quessua, at Portuguese, West Africa, brings the total acreage acquired by the Methodist in Africa above 25,000 acres at nine different points widely operated. Among trades to be taught, in addition to farming, animal husbandry and horseculture, will be carpentry, brick-making, masonry, broom-making and furniture making. Agricultural experts have been sent out and a civil engineer sailed recently to direct construction and industrial training. Rev. Bassett Kipp will be superintendent of the mission at Quesson where the work will be started. His wife will assist him. Rev. and Mrs. Kipp are residents of Chicago, Illinois the meeting place of the committee. CIHCAGO NOTES.

WHISKY VANISHES UNDER EYES OF THE POLICE "The Mystery of the Two Whiskey Barrels" is a detective story still to be written. First Deputy Police Commissioner Leach listened yesterday to an outline of the plot, minus the solution in Brooklyn Police Haequarters where Patrolmen Charles White, Ludwig Miller and Edward Schmidt of the Glendale station appeared before him charged with failure to prevent the disappearance of liquor seized in a raid by Inspector McDonald's special rum squad. White, Muller and Schmidt were as signed to guard ninety gallons of whiskey, contained in two barrels, in the cellar of a restaurant at 825 Fresh Pond road. Both barrels were sealed and so was the only cellar door. They stood guard in three shifts on the side walk and could see through the glass of the cellar door. When the barrels were examined by Captain Clifford next morning he found them almost empty, although the seals on barrels and door were un broken. The patrolmen declared no one had entered while they were on guard. The case was adjourned by Commissioner Leach until Tuesday, when Joseph Werner, a druggist of $52 Anthony avenue, Brooklyn is to produce a bill of sale to establish his ownership of the liquor. The first trial in Middlesex county, New Jersey under the Van Ness State enforcement act, resulted in a fine of $250, imposed by Judge Daly in New Brunswick yesterday upon Patrick J. Rocks, a saloon keeper of Old Brüge, State Senator Thomas Brown ceased. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA for the defendant, objected to the jurisdiction of the court, arguing the defectiveness of the act, in that it fails to provide for trial by jury or indictment. Judge Daly hold the constitutionality of the law is a matter for the Supreme Court to pass upon... During the twenty-four hours ending Monday the police in New York made 51 arrests. The total for the Mulhun-Gage act now is 3,612. Sixteen barrisons of liquor and 850 bottles were seized during the day. 59,000 bottles are held by the police besides thousands ofugs, kegs, cans and other containers... (N. Y. Sun, May 18.) THE Y.

DEMIPSEY READY TO ELIMINATE THE COLOR LINE. Will Fight Negro, If Sufficient Purse Raised, After Defeating Carpenter. Atlantic City, N. J., May 25.—Jack Kearns manager of Jack Dempsey to day erased a color line. Kearns said that if the champion eliminates George Carpenter, on July 2, all barriers would be let down. The next opponent of Dempsey after Carpenter has been conquered will be the man whose services can guarantee a purse "worry of consideration by the heavyweight champion of the world." Kearns made this announcement when asked whether "Kid" Norfolk had refused advances to come here as a sparring partner. Kearns said all ports that he had made "special rates" to Norfolk are unfounded. Norfolk would be welcome, no doubt, but as as going to the point of guaranteeing a meeting with the Negro heavyweight Kearns would make no promises. Dempsey considers the only task he fore him at present is the elimination of Carpentier. He regards the Europ can champion the only logical contender for the crown. Kearns asserts Dempsey will retain his laurels after the battle in Jersey City and declares that his next engagement will depend upon the trend of public clamor. If the American public demands that he meet Kid Norfolk, or any other Negro, and the promoter is found who will guarantee the sum necessary to promote such a match he will be ready in behalf of Dempsey to eliminate the color line. Dempsey is a free-for-all champion Kearns said. He has the ambition to be pronounced the greatest heavyweight of all time. I believe that consideration is coming to him and I think that on July 2 he will make the verdict unanimous." GERMAN TROOPS GATHER FOR DRIVE IN UPPER SILEIA. forces on the left bank of the Oder River are being augmented by the arrival of former German soldiers from Breslau, and a number, it is known, are coming from Germany. Several hundred security police from Hamburg and Kiel, and a few from other German cities, have reached Briege, twenty miles northwest of here, and have placed themselves at the disposal of German authorities there. There are rumors here that Germans will take the offensive, probably within a week, when their preparations are complete. The Poles, in the mean time, are known to be strengthening their positions with ar tillery, although they are not advancing. French sources declare that Adal bert Korfanty, leader of the Polish in surrection, has "thought Gen. Lecond's instructions for the first time, and suspended his offensive." ACTION OF CHAMBUR IS PARIS SENSATION. Paris, May 20. A sudden and up- looked for postponement of action by the Chamber of Deputies until Tuesday, after, two days of desultory de- bate on the Silesian and reparations questions, furnished France a political sensation tonight. It is conceded that the government unobviously is sparring for time in order to avoid participating in the supreme council conference scheduled for Sunday, until the present immi- nated state of France gentile, burns itself out. AWAIT AGREEMENT ON BOUNDARIES Briand is also waiting for the agree- ment of the interilateral commission regarding the fixation of Upper Silesian boundaries. Decision to postpone further chamber action until next week was spring by the government forces at the last moment. Premier Briand had been scheduled to reply to Forgot, but instead, sent in Loucher as a pinch-hitter, Loucheur confined his speech to the financial phases of the reparations problem, without touching upon the political significance of the government's latest acts. In a spiritted defense of Dubois, he declared: "We had to fight our hardest to defend our figures. Undoubtedly, our share, sixty eight billion marks, is in sufficient to pay us both for pensions and reparations, but the uncertainty of exchange rates may favor us to some extent. It will be impossible to bring German labor to France." NOT ENDANGER FRENCH COMMERCE Loucheur declared that the 26 per cent tax on German exports was an excellent method of payment, and one not dangerous to French commerce. "We were forced to fight eight days before we could obtain guarantees from the commission. We didn't wish to wait forty years before payment. We wanted the whole world to be Germany's creditor and we got what we wanted." Forged's attack centered on the London agreement. He pictured France "bowed down by the weight of her expenses, and facing a restored and really victorious Germany." Deputy Cachin developed his usual communistic thesis. BUSINESS IN GOVERNMENT IS PROMISED BY CHAIRMAN GOOD Washington, May.—New and more economical means of conducting the affairs of the Federal Government are provided in the budget bill, according to Chairpman James W. Good, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, in a speech in the House. He says: "I doubt if Congress will be eager upon to pass legislation of greater consequence to the country than the bill which we are now considering. For a number of years men have been talking about a budget system, others have been writing articles on budgetary legislation, and it is now proposed within the next week or 10 days to place upon the statute books a bill that will bring about a practical realization of these hopes and expectations. We have been talking about economy in Government affairs, and at the same time have been practicing extravagance. This has been true irrespective of the political party that has happened to be in power. The trouble has been that we have had no 'business system with which to conduct the fiscal affairs of the Government. The Government of the United States is the biggest business concern in all the world employing more men, disbursing more funds than any other Government." --- MAKE EARLY PREPARATION TO ENTER SCHOOL NEXT TERM.

LOPRICE LAND CORPORATION Care of BRAGG BROS. & CO., 506 North Second Street Randolph 4569 METHODIOT EPISCOPAL CHURCH WORK IN WEST AFRICA. Purchase of 8,000 acres of farm land in Portuguese West Africa for a demonstration farm and trades school for African Negroes on the model of Hampton and Tuskegee Institute has been made by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was announced by the Church's Committee on Conversation and Advance, which met in Chicago, Illinois, April 2, 1921. The high cost of flying in Africa since the war has caused real hardship to the native population missionaries report. Cotton cloth and iron holes cost five times more than in 1914. Before the war plantation lands wore three or four yards of cloth around them, now only half a yard is used and many natives wear only the skin of come bush cut or gazelle. A brewing plant situated on the tract and operated by water power will be converted by the Methodists into a sugar mill. Establishment of the farm and trades school forms part of a plan to raise the economic status of the African natives, which investigation found to be necessary for successful mission work on a large scale among them says the announcement. The property was acquired in accordance with the Methodist Episcopal Centenary programme for Africa, which calls for a chain of six such in situations in Central Africa—one for each Methodist mission conference there. Purchase of the trust at Quesson, at Portuguese, West Africa, brings the total accrue acquired by the Methodist in Africa about 25,000 acres at nine different points widely operated. Among trades to be taught, in addition to farming, annual husbandry and horticulture, will be carpentry, brick-making, masonry, broom-making and furniture making. Agricultural al experts have been sent out and a civil engineer sailed recently to direct construction and industrial training. Rev. Bassett Kipp will be superintendent of the mission at Quesson where the work will be started. His wife will assist him.

WHISKY VANISHES UNDER EYES OF THE POLICE "The Mystery of the Two Whiskey Barrels" is a detective story still to be written. First, Deputy Police Commissioner Leach listened yesterday to an outline of the plot, minus the solution in Brooklyn Police Headquarters where Patrolmen Charles White, Ludwig Miller and Edward Schmidt of the Glendale station appeared before him charged with failure to prevent the disappearance of liquor seized in a raid by Inspector McDonald's special rum squad. White, Muller and Schmidt were as signed to guard ninety gallons of whiskey, contained in two barrels, in the cellar of a restaurant at 825 Fresh Pond road. Both barrels were sealed and so was the only cellar door. They stood guard in three shirts on the side walk and could see through the glass of the cellar door. When the barrels were examined by Captain Clifford next morning he found them almost empty, although the seals on barrels and door were un broken. The patrolmen declared no one had entered while they were on guard. The case was adjourned by Commissioner Leach until Tuesday, when Joseph Werner, a druggist of $52 Anthony avenue, Brooklyn is to produce a bill of sale to establish his ownership of the liquor.

DEMPSEY READY TO ELIMINATE THE COLOR LINE. Will Fight Negro, If Sufficient Purse Raised, After Defeating Carpentier. Atlantic City, N. J., May 25.—Jack Kearns manager of Jack Dempsey to day eradicated a color Hue. Kearns said that if the champion eliminates George Carpentier, on July 2, all barriers would be let down. The next opponent of Dempsey after Carpentier has been conquered will be the man whose services can guarantee a purse "worry of consideration by the heavyweight champion of the world." Kearns made this announcement when asked whether "Kid" Norfolk had refused advances to come here as a sparring partner. Kearns said all roports that he had made "special rates" to Norfolk are unfounded. Norfolk would be welcome, no doubt, but as tar as going to the point of guaranteeing a meeting with the Negro heavyweight Kearns would make no promises. Dempsey considers the only task before him at present is the elimination of Carpentier. He regards the Euror can champion the only logical contender for the crown. Kearns asserts Dempsey will retain his laurels after the battle in Jersey City and declares that his next engagement will depend upon the trend of public clamor. If the American public demands that he meet Kid Norfolk, or any other Negro, and the promoter is found who will guarantee the sum necessary to promote such a match he will be ready in behalf of Dempsey to eliminate the color line. Dempsey is a free-for-all champion Kearns said. He has the ambition to be pronounced the greatest -heyweight of all time. I believe that consideration is coming to him and I think that on July 2 he will make the verdict unanimous." --- GERMAN TROOPS GATHER FOR DRIVE IN UPPER SILESIA forces on the left bank of the Oder River are being augmented by the arrival of former German soldiers from Breslau, and a number, it is known, are coming from Germany. Several hundred security police from Hamburg and Kiel, and a few from other German cities, have reached Briege, twenty miles northwest of here, and have placed themselves at the disposal of German authorities there. There are rumors here that Germans will take the offensive, probably within a week, when their preparations are complete. The Poles, in the mean time, are known to be strengthening their positions with artillery, although they are not advancing. French sources declare that Adal bert Korfanty, leader of the Polish in surrection, has "blooded Gon Lecond's instructions for the first time, and suspended his offensive."
