NO FREEDOM FOR FILIPINOS. The Republican leaders in Congress have reached a decision to postpone indefinitely the question of granting independence to the Philippines. The Porto Ricans, who also have been clamoring for independence, have been satisfied for the time being by promises of congressional action to relieve them of conditions they find irksome. Having laid these specters of self-determination in our own family closet, for the time being at least, Congress will be able to give its time to the question of Irish independence. In other words Congress refuses to act upon questions clearly within its jurisdiction and is preparing to meddle with the internal affairs of Great Britain. Can you beat it? NEW ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION. Although it is not particularly needed, Illinois is to have a new constitution. The people, by vote, have decided that, and the constitutional convention will meet next January with 102 delegates, two chosen from each of 51 senatorial districts of the state. The rewriting of the basic law of the state is a matter of supreme importance, as upon its action depends the regranting or rescinding of all the inherent and inalienable rights demanded by freedom in any republic—the right of free speech, a free press, trial by jury, the protection given by the writ of habeas corpus, the right to give bail, the right of peaceful assembly, etc. The colored people, knowing the great danger to their rights which the new constitution may mean, have joined their forces and forced the Republicans to nominate two strong-well qualified men—Edward H. Morris, lawyer, and Rev. A. J. Carey, minister—in a district in which 80 per cent of the voters are colored, so their election is assured, and that they will give good accounts of themselves goes without saying.

This failed and the gentle British punished the ringleaders of the plot by tying them to the mouths of great cannons and blowing them to little bits. In recent years the spirit of revolt has again been gaining in strength, but when the great war came the East Indians entered the conflict and fought with their oppressors to make the world free for democracy. The natives are asking for home rule, but instead of getting that, the restrictions are more onerous than ever, and 300,000,000 defenceless people are kept in subjection by a British army of 100,000. Rabindranath Gagore, the famous Indian poet and humanitarian, in a protest against the repressive measures adopted by the British government in India, has asked to be relieved of the title of Knighthood conferred upon him by King George. AN INFAMOUS STATEMENT Dr Clarence True Wilson, "general secretary of the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals," of the Methodist Episcopal Church, ought to be very careful in the stuff he hands out to the public for he has just made a statement which is not wholly true and which is an insult to one group of American fighters. On the authority of Deets Pickett, research secretary of the board who has just returned from Europe, the assertion is made that drunkenness, dishonesty, immorality and the association of French women with colored men, are some of the causes for their "dissatisfaction" with France In another column of this issue of THE APPEAL will be found a letter from a St Paul man who is now a soldier in France (thousands of such letters have been received from colored soldiers), which shows that the alleged "Young Men's CHRISTIAN Association" drew the color line, and colored soldiers were continually insulted by signs reading, "For White Troops Only" There is no color line in France or any other European country, not even in Germany. The French people treated the colored Americans as if they were human beings. There was no patronizing. They were treated like men because that is the custom in France. On the contrary the white American soldiers continually insulted and mistreated their colored brothers in arms. To infer that the relations between respectable French women and colored men were immoral is an infamous slur on the French women and an insult to the colored defenders of democracy. It is said that the French demi-mondainnes preferred the colored men, and this piqued the white Americans. They did not object to the sin, but the fact that the female sinner was a French woman and the male sinner an American colored man. The average white American accustomed to the infamous, abnormal, unChristian, and really un-American color line, can not grasp the psychology of the French people who not only have no color line but cannot comprehend its meaning. France which gave to the world the Dumas, pere et fils, judges men by merit not by color. France is true to its motto, "Liberte, Egalité, Fraternité." "SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY." A well-known colored resident of St. Paul who is serving in the United States army now in France sends a letter which gives an idea of the present conditions which surround the colored soldiers who fought "to make the world safe for democracy." As the censorship has not yet been lifted, GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men!

Holland. once when we should wards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against me and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of her Wilcox. we withhold the name and address of the writer for fear that he may be punished for sending the letter, which follows: Somewhere in France, June 4, 1919 To the Editor of THE APPEAL: I am writing to let you know what our boys are doing in France and what is being done to us. We landed at Sainte Nazaire, a city of 40,000 people, and trained a while under great odds. We were then ordered to the front and were getting ready to go when the armistice was signed. We all wanted to go, as there was not a man in the whole division who had a streak of yellow down his back. We are now located at —, France, that is two companies, and the Medical Corps and the other companies are at different places. The two companies are in charge of two large mess halls and can feed about 8,000 men in about 25 minutes. The men in the Medical Department look after the sick in the camp and examine the troops that are embarking for home. What we are doing here is not ap- preciated, and there is a great deal of segregation over here. In some places you can see in large letters signs reading FOR WHITE TROOPS ONLY. At the WHITE "Young Men's Christian Association" in camp a colored soldier cannot buy anything and when you attend a movie show you are roped off. And why? Just to satisfy the Southern white man. The colored soldier has caused less trouble than any other soldier in this country. Something ought to be done. We have done our bit toward world democracy and we must enjoy a little of it. We are going to demand it when we return. No doubt you have heard of the faults of the Y. M. C. A. and they are true in the respects that I state. I hope you will take this matter up with some men who have political influence and make an investigation of the things which exist over here before it is too late. There is another thing we should like to know. Why are colored troops being held in France and then not allowed to enlist in the Army of Occupation? You see, these are the things which confront us daily. Always something to hold us down. Our only friend in need is the Red Cross. It is the best organization in France and is everywhere the soldiers are. The service is good and the prices for the canteen are cheap, and every man who wears the O. D. uniform is the same to them. This is also true of the Salvation Army and the Knights of Columbus, and when these organizations appeal for money they need it and I hope that everyone who is able to subscribe will do so. Yours very truly. It is outrageous that the conditions described should exist and appeals should be made to the powers that be to right these wrongs. So far as the Y. M. C. A. is concerned, THE APPEAL has never had any faith in it. It is one of the greatest fakes the world has ever known and has probably done more to cultivate race hatred than any organization with the word "Christian" as a part of its title.

ABYSSINIA SENDS GREETING TO THE UNITED STATES. Washington, D. C.

G. Holland. gratulated him on the conclusion of peace. They then presented him elephant tusks seven feet long, mounted in solid gold, spears and javelins, native weapons, and beautiful materials embroidered in jewels, two gold cups, and a gold box lined with silk containing letters addressed to the president by the Abyssinian queen, a daughter of Menelik, who is also empress of Ethiopia, and he acquired their apparent. The envoy to the president linked their visit with that of the queen of Sheba to King Solomon. The members of the mission, comprising the Hadjazmatch Nado, the Kantila Gabron, and the Ato Heroy, with the Ato Sinkae, who served as the envoy to the president by Breckenridge Long, third asistant secretary of state. Makes Speech to President. As head of the mission the Dedzaj match Nado addressed the president as follows: "Your excellency, we have the honor of being commissioned to present the congratulations of our country on your work with the allies for the successful termination of the war with Germany. "More than 5,000 years have elapsed since the establishment of the Ethiopian government. In the time of David and Solomon this government was still down. The queen of Ethiopia, Macada, ruled over all Sheba at that time. She Heled of Solomon. "She heard of King Solomon and came to listen to his wisdom and see the country, and as she returned to her own dominion she proclaimed the great Ethiopian king, and until Constantine the great, Ethiopia has believed in God according to the laws of the Old Testament. In the time of Constantine Ethiopia became Christian according to the gospel Jesus and he has given his life for her Christianity and independence against the surrounding Mohammedans and heathens. "Undoubtedly your excellency knows more about the history of our race and religion than I am able to tell." Rejoice Over America. "All the people of Ethiopia, knowing that the United States of America, after securely establishing her own independence, has taken upon herself the wonderful duty of assisting the allies in gaining equal liberty and independence, and praised the American people. "We hope that the friendship with the United States, begun during the reign of Emperor Menelik II, will continue and develop, and that commerce will be renewed and increased as a result of that friendship. With the famous desire of her majesty, our emperors, of the heir-apparent to the throne, and of all our people." President Thanks Envoys "It gives me great pleasure to welcome you as a special mission sent by the Abyssinian government to conquer the territory won over Germany and to receive from you the letters of her imperial majesty, Zaudoum, empress of Ethiopia, and his imperial highness, the emperor, an apparent to the throne of Ethiopia." REV. B. N. MURRELL Writes an Interesting Letter to The Appeal From Paris, France. Rev. B. N. Murrell has written a letter to the editor of THE APPEAL from which the following facts have been condensed: Peace having been declared he will shortly return to America. Since leaving St. Paul his health has been the best and every day has been spent in service to the soldiers furnishing remarkable experiences. He plans to join his wife in Washington and may visit St. Paul, has several offers but has not decided where he will locate. He says that all of the 30,000 dead soldiers from Thinacourt and Ramange cemeteries were buried by colored American soldiers, no white man helped to move one. "A lasting debt of gratitude is due to the colored soldiers from American citizens." He says that many statements that have been made by speakers and writers, who were not actually on the ground, are not veritable facts. Havvah, a Jewish sect four and a half months I know the dead there tell a correct story. "I have spent ten months on the Western front. It has given me a fairly general acquaintance with sectors from Switzerland into Belgium, but the facts at hand compel me to believe that the Germans have left here on the field, proportionately, their silent representatives." ROBERT B. MOTON (From the Crisis.) Neither R. R. Moton w. W. E. B. Dubois had the slightest idea that the other was planning to sail for France, December 1, until they met in Washington on a quest for passports. November 4, when they arrived in Orizaba and frankly discussed their agreements and disagreements. When they reached France, each went about his own business. Dr. Moton was sent by the President of the United States and the Secretary of War to see talk to colored soldiers. Dr. Boles was sent to the N. A. A. C. P. and the Crisis to gather the historical facts concerning colored troops and to call a Pan-African Congress. On the night before Dr. Moton started out a colored man of national reputation and questioned integrity to the French. Dr. Moton took him aside and told him frankly the situation: the rampant American prejudice against colored troops and officers and the bitter resentment of the victims. Dr. Moton's letters gave the French opportunity, a special Army Order preceded him, which read: Dr. R. R. Moton, President of Tuskegee University, will be present in the Divisional area for the next few weeks. He will be presenting rects that commanding officers render all possible assistance in any visit or inspection Dr. Moton desires to make. They will also see that he is accorded every opportunity to make any observation of the students. What did Dr. Moton do? He rushed around as fast as possible. He took with him and had at his elbow every moment that evil genius of the colored race, Thomas Jesse Jones, a black man, would have to investigate or inquire. He made a few speeches, of which one is reported by a hearer as follows: "The address delivered by Dr. Moton to the men consisted of one or two jokes by a colored preacher, the assurance that the people at home were proud of them and the manner in which they should act upon their remission of United States, dwelling almost entirely in the form of be arrogant." After he had spoken to the men the major informed the officers that Dr. Moton desired to hold a secret conference with them. All officers congregated in the office. After being presented to the officers, Dr. Moton told the he had been sent to France. President Wilson, Mr. Baker for the purpose of speaking to the colored troops. He also stated that he had just left Paris where he had been in conference with President Wilson and had asked the President his views as to the practical application of democracy toward the colored states of the United States, but ended by saying: "I will be pleased with his reply but, gentlemen, I can not quote the President." After Dr. Moton finished his talk on opportunity was given to the officers to inform him of the conditions that in France, and he did not seek any information after game from any of the officers after the conference ended. Dr. Moton then returned to Paris and met Colonel House, General Pershing and others. Colonel House, told him that Moton would remain in Paris and that if Moton could Colonel House would give him an opportunity to appear in person before the Peace Conference to speak for the black world. Dr. Moton refused to be interviewed and the destiny then went to England and secured an audience with Lloyd George, Prime Minister of England. The destiny of the black race today is in the hands of the destiny of England is in the hands of the destiny of England Moton did not keep his appointment; but rushed to catch his boat in order to be present at the Tuskegee Conference. He sailed with Thomas Jesse and watched him, and did not return to Paris an African Conference, which he said he favored and promised to support. No one questions the personal integrity of Robert R. Moton or his kind. You can look at one friend or two, can look these facts, can look these disappointment. ABYSSINIAN BLOOD IN EUROPEAN ROYALTY, Editor The Appeal: The presence in Washington, D. C., of a delegation from the Abyssinian government is of historic and scientific interest. Gibbon, in "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" recognizes the Abyssinian tribe of Negroes. For centuries these people have maintained the Coptic form of the Christian religion against the strong Mohammedan influence of both Egypt and Arabia. At the battle of Adowa, in 1895, the military forces of the Abyssinians in an Italian army of 10,000 men, under Gen. Napoleon, defeating Italy's attempt to conquer their country. The Abyssinians use modern military equipments. Alexander Pushkin, the only poet that Russia has ever produced, was the son of an Abyssinian Negro. The direct and linear descendants of Pushkin were the wealthy and royal families of the British monarch, and incidentally, breaking the back of the great Charles Darwin's biological theory, "reversion to type"—or, as the common people say, "taking back." The rock bottom facts in case, are diametrically opposed to this argument of the Darwinian imagination. If the now reigning family of the British monarchy should become extinct, the next heir to the throne would be the Prince of Battenburg, whose beautiful and accomplished wife is the direct descendent of Pushkin she would be the queen of England and Empress of India. —Dr. J. M. Boddy Is Public Spirited. Dr. J. M. Gaston, Chief Executive of the "Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freedmen," reports a remarkable achievement in the Board. The donor—whose name given—is a graduate of Scotland Seminary, a Presbyterian school in North Carolina. Left a widow on her own resources, she courageously opened a business that accumulated $15,000. Of this she has set aside $5,000 for business capital and the remaining $10,000 she has presented to the Freedmen's Work of Relief. A. in order, as she said, "more girls may have the same chance I had." "MY COUNTRY IS THE WORLD." It was in 1833, on July 13th, that William Lloyd Garrison, speaking at Exeter Hall, London, England, uttered the momentous words: "My country is the world; my countrymen are all mankind." Garrison's words are the ones which will be treasured by the ages. They are that fire within him. They illuminate his breadth of mind his Catholic spirit and his indomitable courage. In the summer of 1833, ever active and resourceful for the freedom of the American slave, he visited England. By this time he had become a national character. The Liberator, the anti-slavery organ, which had as its motto, "Our Country is the world, Our Country is the land," was two years old. He had been a Baltimore, Baltimore, the Georgia, legislature's price for his head, and on his way to his ship at New York, through Connecticut, he was pursued by a sheriff with writs for his apprehension. But he reached London safely. It was his first trip to the world's metropolis and in company with his coworker, George Thompson, he was shown some attention by the anti-Garrison, the New York-based Garrison the accredited agent of England anti-slavery society, and his object was the collection of funds for the establishment of manual training schools for the youth of African blood in the United States. Another object was to combat an African colonization scheme, to which Garrison was firmly opposed. A meeting was arranged for the American slave at Exeter Hall in London on the 13th. The great auditorium was packed. Garrison was introduced by George Thompson. He began thus: "Mr. Chairman, it is long since I sacrificed all my national, complexional and local prejudices upon the altar of Christian love, and breaking down the narrow boundaries of a selbanner this motto: 'My country is the world; my countrymen are all mankind.'

Speaking for 12,000,000 Colored Americans, the National Colored Representative Assembly for World Democracy under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League commemorates 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.

By his declaration, accepted by France, Britain and the rest openly before the human race, the principles and the aim of this war were put upon a world basis.

The denial or violation of justice, humanity and democracy has become a matter FOR CORRECTION AND ABROGATION ON A WORLD BASIS BY A WORLD COURT. Hence Colored America, which furnished 400,000 brave soldiers for this war backed by over 12,000,000 loyal citizens without a traitor, appeals 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 race or class discrimination in the world peace settlement. At this support, the cause of universal humanity, when wrongs to man should be banished, the cause of utterly undemocratic 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 deprives us of every civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection or to the restriction of the Ghetto as employees of the federal government. Otherwise our color in many parts of the country deprives us of political, social and judicial right; subjects us to obloquy, imposition, deprivation, cruelties, atrocities, worse in degree than exist anywhere else in Christianity.

It was once thought that to gain knowledge in any systematic manner one must put himself under the direct, personal guidance of a teacher. Many still think that when it is impossible to do this give up or fort at self improvement. This is to call attention to the fact that instruction by correspondence has been developed to meet just such needs as theirs at the State University at Minneapolis and the work is conducted the Correspondence Study Department of the General Extension Division. The work as at present organized includes preparatory and college grade courses and vocational courses in "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT."

The preparatory courses are of high school grade. The college courses enable one to work for credit toward a degree from the University. As many as half the credits required may be earned in this way. Students who have the credit must be able to satisfy the entrance requirements of the University, but if credit is sired, any one may register for these courses. Many of them are of general value, dealing as they do with economics, history, political science, sociology, and other subjects of present interest. The vocational courses are practical in their nature and make use of the opportunities of the principles they teach. These, as well as the other types of courses, will be increased in number and scope as the demand grows.

P. JONES. St. James A. M. E. church was filled to overflowing last Sunday morning with an audience that desired to see and hear Rev. H. P. Jones, a former pastor, now located in Pittsburgh. Rev. Jones took for his theme the ancient biblical injunction to not put new wine, in old bottles, and he handled his subject with the rare skill and logic for which he is noted, pleasing his auditors as only he can. The audience was highly enjoyed by every one present, and, as a token of the appreciation of those present for the speaker and his speech, a collection of over $27.00 was raised and presented to him. One of the very pleasant social functions of the week, had as its hostess Mrs. C. W. Wigington, 495 Carroll avenue, last Monday evening, on which occasion she entertained the members of the "E. T.

[Name] Has Returned Home After Some Rea Experience Overseas. Private Joseph A. Grissom, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Grissom, 1022 Rondo street arrived at home from overseas on Monday, July 14, after serving nearly twenty months abroad. Private Grissom has visited six foreign countries during his time of service. He is also entitled to the distinction of being the first and the youngest colored boy from Minnesota to arrive on French soil as a soldier for Uncle Sam, having enlisted in Oct., 1917, at the age of sixteen years as a member of the transportation corps. He was wounded from shrapnel and is still suffering slightly from shell shock. Private Grissom believes that the army is the proper place for a young man to find himself, for he learns to cultivate stability of purpose, a just desire, courage and physical endurance which will prove a most valuable asset in later years, as he takes his place among men in the business world.

Rate to the Great Minnesota Fair Aug. 30 to Sept. 6. All persons living in Minnesota, eastern North and South Dakota, northern Iowa, and western Wisconsin may be able to get a fare and a half rate to the Minnesota State Fair Aug. 30 to Sept. 6, as a result of a ruling just made by the United States Railroad Administration. This concession has been granted the Fair because of the good which the Fair will do in interesting the people of the Northwest in better methods of farming, the use of more up-to-date machinery, and the raising of better live stock. Preparations for the great exposition are in full swing. The Fair will open Saturday morning, Aug. 30, instead of on Monday, as has always been the custom. The fact that the Fair is eight days long instead of six, the harvest the greatest crop in history, leads officials to believe that all records for attendance will be shattered. The most extensive educational and entertainment program ever given by any Fair in America is being prepared. One of the big features is to be a home-coming and reunion celebration for all returned soldiers from France. Tens of thousands of these soldiers will play a leading role in the reunion. SISTER FANNIE. My sister, Fannie Gilles Penney (Mrs. James H.), went to sleep in Jesus at old home in Stacyville, Iowa. August 28, 1918 - E. W. G. When I look back upon the past, And look ahead unto the last, I think of sister Fannie. When years ago in childhood's play, Whether in shine or rainy day, I think of sister Fannie. As time went on in youthful years, Before the days of burning tears, I think of sister Fannie. In patience sweet and kindly deeds, Considerate of others' needs, I think of sister Fannie. In home and church for faithful deeds, And quick response where duty leads, I think of sister Fannie. To neighbors dear and kindly friends, With all the help that goodness lends I think of sister Fannie. May all who read these lines with me, Be prompted nobler ones to be, And think of sister Fannie.
