Everybody would read the proposition
and the gentleman's name. but no

President Dreyfus' idea that com

all his time to the work of the league,
is the correct one, and it is the only
one by which the best results may
be obtained. 1t isn't fair to expect
any person t.. perform the duties OF

has been done by Secretary Russell
or so long Few business men
would have given as much OF their

1t is time for the Commercial league
to become commercial league in
fact and not merely in name.

explain an alleged interview printed here

as a soldier was the same that gave him
preference for the negro in the same
capacity. that sin a fight am not worried

added: There is nothing more to it. II

blooded dog and also a cur. is ii not nat ural
that he would prefer to have the cur killed
before the other?'
Gen. Baldwin has just been assigned to
the command Of the Department of the Colo
RADIO. and the War Department officials
were considerably surprised this morning
when they read the statements attributed
to him. They are regarded as particularly
unfortunate at this time, owing to the fact
that efforts are being made in the Philip
pines to impress upon the Filipinos the
high regard in which they are held by the
Americans.
His comparisons regarding the negro are
also viewed with considerable disfavor.
and unless quickly disavowed by Gen. Bald
