SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1919. IF NOT, WHY NOT? The foreign affairs committee of the U. S. House of Representatives has ordered favorably reported a resolution expressing the hope that the peace conference would "favorably consider the claims of Ireland to the right of self-determination." Four of the seventeen members of the committee attending the meeting were understood to have voted against the resolution. The text follows: "Resolved, by the house of represent atives (the senate concurring) that it is the earnest hope of the congress of the United States of America that the peace conference now sitting in Paris in passing upon the rights of various peoples will favorably consider the claims of Ireland to the right of self-determination." This action leaves the shortsighted colored men who have opposed the sending of colored representatives to the Peace Congress to appeal for justice to the colored people of America, without a leg upon which to stand. If the U. S. Congress can ask the Peace Congress to interfere in the internal affairs of Great Britain, why cannot the colored people of the United States appeal to the world assembled at Paris to intervene in the internal affairs of this country and stop lynching and the oppression of one of its groups of citizens? GOING UP! A survey by the Department of Labor of government salaries in the city of Washington discloses the fact that elevator conductors in the Food Administration were paid as high as $1,800 per annum, while payment for the same service in other departments ranged as low as $480. Other lines of work show similar discrepancies in compensations. Among the other government offices. BLOW IT ALL IN- When Congress authorized the President to take over the railroads it fixed the time of government operation to be for the period of the war and for 21 months thereafter. To provide a means of financing such operation a Moton's Advice To Soldiers Oversea Starts Big Storm TUSKEGEE'S NEW PRINCIPAL TELLS BRAVE WARRIORS NOT TO RESIST OLD CONDITIONS ON RETURN Sourthern Newspapers In Paris Praise Unwanted Suggestions To Black Troopers as to Their Conduct on Returning Home---- Moton's Special Mission Explained (From the New York News.) Paris, Jan—Dr. Robert R. Moton, who came here to France on a "special" mission, made a trip, via automobile, to two or three points where have been mobilized colored soldiers. He visited a beach point visited, and especially upon them when returning to the United States, to be "modest and unassuming." The Stars and Stripes published in Paris, and in the interest of the A. E. F., and which heretofore has given very little space to mention colored soldiers, except publishing souvenir mournous, and always using the alleged Southern dialect, gave Mr. Moton's address considerable space, emphasizing the point he made that the colored soldiers should return "modest and unassuming." The Paris edition of the New York Herald, which like other colored soldiers, also gave Dr. Moton's address to the colored soldiers a prominent place, and particularly noted revolving fund of $500,000.00 was set aside for the use of the Director General in supplying funds to needy roads for maintenance and equipment. It was supposed by the legislators that huge sum would be ample to meet all requirements; in fact it was anticallated] that long before it was ex hauasted some of the first loans made would be coming back into the Treasury, and the fund would in truth revolve. But instead of carrying the roads through a period of years, as contemplated by the framers of the legislation, the "revolving" fund is practically exhausted in the very first year of Federal administration. The Director General in his annual report admits that over $453,000,000 of that amount has been expended already. Not only that but $25,000,000 has been taken from surplus receipts of railroad and express companies and loaned back to the roads in addition to the millions from the revolving fund. Of course payments to the Government for its loans from the revolving fund, if they are ever made, must come from surplus earnings, but when those earnings are diverted from that purpose and turned into further loans the result is only to sink the roads deeper into the financial mire. JOBS IN U. S. SERVICE OPEN. Permanent employment in the government service and immediate reinstatement in the federal civil service of men who served in the army and navy is announced in a bulletin issued by the federal civil service commission at Washington. In expectation of the mustering out of thousands of former government employees from the military and naval service who will be seeking reinstatement in the government service the federal civil service commission obtained an executive order by the president providing for the reinstatement at any time within five years of discharge of any person leaving the classified civil service to engage in the military or naval service of the country. Under the president's ruling it will not be necessary for the applicant to be reinstated in his former position, but anywhere in the civil service, provided that at the time of reinstation he has the required fitness to perform the duties of the position to which reinstation is sought. A long list of occupational opportunities for employment in federal public works is contained in the bulletin. Application should be filed directly with the labor board at all government plants. THE REPRESENTATIVES IN FRANCE. There has been some misconception as to the functions of the representatives elected by the National Colored Congress which met in Washington in December, to go to France and present the case of the colored American to the world, during the sessions of the Peace Congress. These people have no official status whatever, and no one connected with the congress has, so far as we know, made any such claim, certainly the convention at its meeting did not. They are not in any sense "delegates" and have no such standing. They can not attend the meetings of the Peace Conference. That ought to be clear to everyone who is at all well informed about the questions of the day. AS THE APPEAL understands the matter, the representatives are to go to France and use their moral influence to aid in the abolition of the color line in the world. Necessarily they must work through the delegates of the United States and other nations which have regularly accredited delegates. That is all that they can do. The congress understood that and the representatives understand their limitations. However, the representatives may possibly be able to do some very effective work. They may tell the that he "emphasized" the fact that the colored soldiers should return "modest and unassuming." This advice given by Dr. Moton appeared to interest these two American newspapers published in Paris, and it is accepted as a special mission to France, at this time when colored soldiers who have been for months fighting in France are about to return to the United States, is to impress upon them that they should be "modest and unassuming" on their return, and to accept, and uncompromisingly whatever disease they may be segregated may be imposed on them in their return, after having fought for months for world democracy. Moton was accompanied on his trip to the camps by Thomas Jesse Jones, of the Bureau of Education at Washington, and who, at one time, was one of the instructors at Hampton Institute, with which Dr. Moton was connected before being chosen principal of Tuskegee. world of the utterly undemocratic treatment of the colored people in the U. S. A., and they may add their voice, even if it is a feeble one, to the general demand of the Colored World for the abolition of all discriminations based on color, creed or sex, and may really aid in the realization of liberty, fraternity and equality for all men. Just what the proposed "League of Nations" will be no man knows—no one knows just how far it will interfere with the internal questions of the various nations, but with Japan, one of the great powers, and China, Haiti, and Liberia, all colored nations, and with Brazil and other countries with large colored populations, and India and South Africa represented, certain broad principles against color autocracy may be laid down. Who knows? The American colored representatives can not hope to get seats at the peace table, or even enter the conference, but they can stay outside and LOBBY FOR LIBERTY. It cost considerable money to send our army to France, and it will cost just as much to bring it home—make good your W. S. s. pledge. DR. R. R. MOTON'S MISSION ABROAD WHAT THREE WELL KNOWN COLORED WRITERS THINK OF IT. What He Went for Made Clear Last — The South Fears Our turning Overseas Soldiers Will Not Meekly Submit to it Outrageous Insuits, Humiliation, Segregation, Etc. (From the New York Globe.) Editor N. Y. Globe: I wish to invite a protest against the action of D. Moton, who is now in France at the international invitation to advise the colored troops to behave themselves like gentlemen and thus leave a good impression upon the people of Dr. France. Dr. Moton will find that this part of his mission to France is unnecessary. The colored men in the army in France have given their commander no cause for complaint on this score. The French people and French newspapers have spoken in high praise of their conduct. It seems thus insult to the character of these men to send Dr. Moton or any other man to France to teach them good morals. Dr. Moton is quoted as saying that the Africans are incapable of self-government. If he means the Africans in Africa, along the gold coast, the west coast, Basalotland, Barotse land, etc. I can tell him that he is grossly mis and that he is ibibling the char acter, and that he is ingent people who have for years developed ability for self-government along native lines. Dr. Moton is hardly the man to pass judgment on the capacity of the Africans for self-government. He does not know any more about Africa and the Africans, nor as much as the American delegates who are relying on him to advise them on this subject. JOHN E. BRUCE. New York.

OLD EIGHTH ILLINOIS Chicago's Crack Colored Unit Back With Honors General Mangin Decorates Heroes 370th Infantry Who Whipped Prussian Guard Chicago, Ill., Jan. 22—More than 400 Illinois men, many of them wounded, were among 5,150 soldiers to arrive Thursday on the hospital ship Comfort and the transports Lapland, Wilhelmina and Sierra. Five officers of the eighth Illiniation of the occupied men of our crack regiment debarked from the Lapland. Two of them from the Wilhelmina. The soldiers arriving on the three other ships were sent to Camps Mills and Merritt, and the wounded were the three of the big debarkation hospitals. Out in the Campagne sector of France—one of the most blood-stained corners of that land—our Illinois fighters gained imperishable fame. For more than two months the Eighth—now the 370th Infantry fighting in the Tenth French army, commanded by Gen. Mangin, side, figuring the Americans would take shelter there. Instead the Yanks kept right in the center of the road and few were wounded. The ruse had revealed the whereabouts of the German guns short time later they were wiped. Wiped after going through the severest fighting unscatched Lieut. Robert A. Ward, 3728 South Wabash av., returned sick. The Eighth landed in France April 22. Ward held and went a fighting area almost immediately. For months the regiment had to go through all the hardship of trench warfare. The casualties were estimated by Ward at 50 per cent, but only a very small percentage were killed. Shot in Ankle. Lieut. J. R. Wheeler, 3013 Prairie av., was wounded in the ankle by shrapnel. Lieut.

The men of the old Eighth stopped the advance of the flower of the Kaiser's fighting forces and made them retreat, preventing a flanking movement which would have had dire results for the allies.

Deadman, who raided a raid into which he led fifteen men of the Eighth August 1 near Laon, and which resulted in the killing of a dozen Germans, the capture of four machine guns and eighteen prisoners. Only one of Maxwell's men was wounded. For this dashing exploit the man who received the Croix de Guerre. A stunt performed by twenty men of Company F, led by Capt. Saunders, won decorations for three and the unbound admiration of the French, Maxwell said. Sergt. Floyd White, 1121, Federal st. Chicago, was the first man to receive the war cross. White is still in France and was wounded one. Lieut. Maxwell's story showed that the Company F men offered themselves as sacrifices in an effort to draw the fire of about a dozen German machine guns which had been used among the Americans and French. A Human Sacrifice. The Illinois colored fighters ran into the middle of a road knowing they were under German observation. Instantly the Germans, suspecting a raid on their lines, opened fire on the underbrush by the road.

Colored America, through delegates assembled from 37 of the United States of America, sore and bleeding with persecution because of race and color, hails with hope peace with victory, for the motto on the banners of the armies of the victors was "Away with tyranny and its injustice everywhere." Speaking for 12,000,000 Colored Americans, the National Colored Representative assembly for World Democracy under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League congratulates their fellow Countrymen and their government on being the instrument by which the God of righteousness turned the tide of battle for the forces of liberty.

Two hemispheres and the islands of two oceans furnished without regard to race or color the armies of this bloody and terrible war. Shameful it is now to blame a new humane era.

Therefore every denial or violation of justice, humanity and democracy has become a matter FOR CORRECTION AND ABROGATION ON A WORLD BASE A WORLD COURT. Hence colonized countries which furnished 400,000 brave soldiers for this war backed by over 12,000,000 loyal citizens without a appeal to the allied World for justice and Democracy in the peace settlement. Utterly Undemocratic Treatment Of Colored People of U. S. A. Citizens by law of the United States of America, the famous Republic of the West, we first appeal to the civilized world for the discontinuance of all the discrimination in the world peace settlement. At this supreme moment in history, neither wrongs to man should be banished, we must call world attention to the cratic conditions under which every person of color is forced to live in this country. Because of race autocracy, our color in the Nation's Capital deserves our attention in the context of public carriers and subjects us to rejection or to the restriction of the Gritti government. Otherwise our color in many parts of the country deprives of every civil, political, social and judicial right; subjects us to obloquy, imposed, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, atrocities, worse in degree than death, imprisonment, thrustendom. Segregation in public carriers, disfranchisement, lynching and essentially violations of that world democracy for which the war was fought. Self-determination For Darker Nations.

That the tremendous material and appalling human losses of this world war may not be without result for good, we appeal to the peace conclave to grant self-determination and rights without discrimination to all of the darker nations. The Appeal Sent By Race Petitioners For Universal Abolition Of Color Prescription. On our part we shall send race petitioners to the assembly of the representatives of the civilized world meeting to make good the promise of the victors in the world war, to petition for the abolition of autocracy of race persons everywhere, and to appeal to this world Court for the discontinuance of the oppression and all distinctions based on color, civic, political and judicial in EVERY INFORMATION AS AN ARTICLE OF THE PEACE AGREEMENT, that the world may be romamed truly on the basis of the liberation of the people of the earth, and of the enjoyment by every human being of world democracy. Else There Is No "New Day" For without this there will not be the dawning of a new day of democracy, nor of a new era of permanent peace after the most terrible and gigantic war ever known embracing two hemispheres in a death grapple between the forces of autocracy and of democracy.

Should Open the Doors to Opportunity (From the Christian Register.) A circular sent out to employers in a large city, calling attention to the number and quality of young colored men trained in the schools of the city, and asking co-operation and counsel in making their services available, brought one reply which though anonyx is significant of an opinion still widely held, is not a response to Africa, instead of mixing them with us." As the expression of an individual desire these two points are of course admissible, but as practicable measures it is curious that any intelligent person should seriously entertain them. Does any one suppose that the United States could be sent to Africa, or that if they were sent they would go? So long as they are here, and have already been mixing for more than a century, and have the rights of citizenship, including the right to die with men for their country, is it any reckoning that they would be opened and intrinsic leadership to open a few more industrial doors to their proved abilities and usefulness? While we write, a moving-men is unloaded by two white men and one colored man. The colored man is the boss, the white men are the orders. There is not the least trouble to them. There would never be trouble if it were not made by people of the temper of the anonymous objector. ENTRY AND THE WORLD LORED CONGRESS FOR WORLD DECES OF THE NATIONAL EQUAL INSTINGTON, D. C.

CELEBRATE DAY OF LINCOLN'S BIRTH Great Emancipator Said "Get Ready and the Chance Will Come." Today U. S. Treasury Offers Chance of Emancipation From Debt Through Government Securities. EMANCIPATION THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL FROM THE BRONZE STATUETTE GROUP BY THOMAS BALL. "And upon this act I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God." I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. Abraham Lincoln, whose clear understanding of right and wrong, whose great qualities of heart and mind and character finally succeeded in liberating an entire race, was born just 110 years ago, February 12, 1809, in a rough log cabin in the undeveloped farmland of Kentucky. The commemoration of his birthday will this year, as in every other, be marked especially by the recollection of the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave us our freedom. In Lincoln's own words, this emancipation from slavery meant for the Negro "the right to eat the bread, without the leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns." * * * This was 56 years ago. Today, by summons from the Federal Government, amounting almost to a proclamation, the right is urged upon us not only to eat the bread we earn, but to spread to aside a part of it so that eventually we may achieve our emancipation from economic dependence. Money invested in government securities—War Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds—is the key which will unlock for us financial liberty. Out of the fund they create we can get homes, comforts, education, advancement and recreation. As Lincoln said: "The hired laborer of yesterday labors on his own account today and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow." Not mere labor alone is necessary. To be ready to use an opportunity the products of one's labor must be accumulated. Again, as Lincoln said: "Get ready and the chance will come." There is another reason, a still better one than that of personal profits, why we should make every effort to save and invest in Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Money loaned in this way to the government—to give us a share in that for which Lincoln gave his life—will help to pay off the enormous costs of the war for which many people were on their lives. They gave themselves money they have made a wonderful, never-to-before recorded record of patriotism and bravery in the war. Unless we do our full part, which, after all, is extremely small compared to what they who shall never return have done, we shall have broken faith with them and tarnished the splendid shield of patriotism which they buried. Can anyone imagine Lincoln, who saved all his time, energy and talents to the cause of his fellow humans, fail his brothers in such a task? Had not all of us done our part in liberating the oppressed countries of Europe, by now France, Belgium and other entire nations would be chained in slavery to the Germans. Then, alone, the United States would have to wrest Lincoln devoid of his life to the liberation of a race, that race had the opportunity to assist in liberating the world. Can anyone imagine Lincoln stopping half way in such a task? To complete it, 1919 must be a year of real thrift for everyone. By spending wisely—getting the most of what we actually need for the amount we can afford to spend—something will be left over to save. By saving intelligently, giving attention to the important things and eliminating unnecessary—something will be accumulated—in Thrift Stamp Savings Stamps or Liberty Bonds—which will help complete the task, win personal prosperity, and assist in gaining national prosperity. The remembrance of Lincoln's Birthday should be a reminder prove ours daily. If Lincoln Could Speak Today He Would Say to You— Emancipate yourself from money worries by putting your savings into Thrift and War Sav- ings Stamps. Have a personal share in your government by owning govern- ment stock—Thrift and War Savings Stamps. The money you pay for them is a loan from you to the government and pays you interest. Be active, good citizens—part- ners with your country in finis- hing up the war job and carrying out the peace program. Thrift and War Savings Stamps give this partnership. Spend your time and energy as well as money wisely. You will then be able to buy Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Steady saving will bring you prosperity.

It will be remembered that some weeks ago the hired manager of "Uncle Sam's Club" for Soldiers and Sailors, corner of Fourth and Cedar Sts, refused to allow some colored soldiers who went there, to enjoy its privileges. Some members of the Equal Rights League interested themselves in the work of the authorities at Washington, D.C, and the answer has come that no distinctions on account of color are to be made in that club. A BAD PRECEDENT. A bill has been formulated and has been, or is about to be presented to the Minnesota Legislature that may set a precedent that will produce much trouble in the future. The bill is entitled: "A Bill for an Act Relating to the Organization and Equipment of an Additional Battalion of Infantry for the Minnesota National Guards." One of the provisions of the bill is: "A SEPARATE battalion of infantry, to be composed of COLORED PERSONS, etc.," may be organized. The statutes of Minnesota, or of any other state, for that matter, should not contain any law that makes any distinction among its citizens on the ground of color. THE COLOR LINE ABROGATED. The following matter sent to Rev. A. H. Lealatt, of St. Philips Episcopal church was read from his pulpit last Sunday: January 7th, 1919. Dear Pastor: Will you be so kind as to read the enclosed announcement at your services tomorrow, or insert it in your church bulletin? Any personal word you give with regard to the Association will be appreciated. The St. Paul Y. M. C. A. extends to every ex-soldier, sailor and marine a three-months' complimentary membership with full privileges, including gymnasium, reading room and night school.
