SOUTH NEEDS POSTAL RANKS.
Would BE of Especial Reneat to the
CoIOred Race

Ernest G.. De Long of Tarpon Springs.
Fla. writes 20 the Chicago Record as FOL
lows:
Should postaI savings hanks he estab-
ished fully believe that - per cent of
the negro women of the South would be-
come depositors within year. This would
have better effect upon the character of
the African race than all other reforms
thus far spoken of. II would give them an
aim IN life In which all could take part. II
would protect them from unprincipied
sharpers, both white and black. My ex-
perience Is thar the colored people have i'm
plicit confidence in the government. and
none whatever IN anything else. when il
comes 10 money matters. One with a saw
ings account, no matter how small. would
be better citizen In every respect. IL
would start denositors on a road TO useful
ness IN right direction, encourage indus
try and discourage gambling. Above all
else would be the moral effect II would
do more than the most stringent laws 20
prevent crime, because IL would be great
incentive for the preserving of their iden-
tiiy. As 1t is now one name and one local
ity Is just the same as another. and 1t is
very common for the negroes 10 change
their names every time they change their
location, and that makes it very easy for
them 10 dodge the law much more SO
than for the white man. because II takes
years of experience for the Northern man
10 tell one negro from another. and the
South is fast filling up with Northern peo-
pie, of whom am one. 1t behooves US all
In our own interest, as we'll as that of hui
mainly, TO improve the condition of The
blacks. and / know OF nothing that would
do II so well as a moneyed interest in the
government"

HAYTITAKES AFFIRM STAND


WASHINGTON. Nov A.-Reports that
came 10 the state department late this at
ternoon from Hayti were TO the effect that
there was considerable excitement there
and that the situation was grave. For this
reason 1t was determined TO hasten the de-
parture OF the Marhlehesd. and the naval
officials were communicated with TO this
end. The impression appeared to prevail
in Port al Prince tina. German warsaip
was rapidly approaching the place. OF
course II Is stated. that the Marblehead
goes solely for the purpose OF protecting
American interests that might be threat
ened by the outbreak OF disorders in
Hayti.
The latest advices from German sources.
however, indicate that no occasion wiIl be
given for friction between the United States
and Germany on account Of the Haytian
difficulty. and that the matter will be ad-
tusted.
II developed today that Hayti had sent
reply TO Germany's demands. which is
somewhat remarkable for its firmress in
view OF the difference In size of the two
powers. The Haytian note makes It clear
that the republic Is ready to discuss the
merits OF the controversy. but does not de-
sire to have Germany pass Judgment In
the first place. demand an indemnity and
thereafter discuss the merits. Moreover.
Hayti gives notice that the German charge
d'affaires TO Hayti. who made the recent
demands. Is persona non grata and that
1t Is impossible for Hayti to conduct fur
Their negotiations with him. 1t is stated
that r.. offended against all rules OF pro-
priety and Of etiquette by going directly
before the president Of Hayti and in loud
and angry tone and insulting manner
threatening dire consequences unless inn
mediate reparation was made to Germany
This personal affront to Hayti's chief ex-
ecutire Is regarded as touching the honor
and self-respect Of the country and is felt
10 call for an apology. Under such cir
cumstances the Haytian government has
expressed a willingness to negotiate a set
Element Of the entire case at Berlin, thus
removing it from the hands of the ohjec-
tionable German official now In Hayti.
The Warship Not Needed.
BERLIN. Nov. 30.-The German govern
ment has abandoned its intention Of send
ing a warship to Hayti to enforce its de-
mands. The Geifon, instead, will be sent
to reinforce the German fleet in Chinese
waters. Baron Won Bulowa. German min
lister of foreign affairs. today gave United
States Ambassador White wholly satisfac-
tory explanations of Germany's intentions
toward Haytj.
