The state troops will participate in the

regulars. During the stay of the volun-

though the regulars will not participate
in any save the exercises of next Satur-
day. Thousands were out at the camp
today many coming from distinct cities
on excursions to see the troops in camp.
Today being Sunday, as usual there were
no field exercises. This afternoon in order
to give entertainment to the thousands
who visited the camp, the various military
bands rendered sacred concerts. Tonight
at o'clock divine service was held for
the soldiers and the visitors to the camp
desiring to attend.
Tomorrow the field maneuvers will be
resumed, the first programme of the

Mothers See Children Perish.
Many heartrending incidents are related.
A group of six children clamored into the
shrouds of the Sirio while their mothers
were taken off by one of the trawlers. The
Srio sank before the children could be
rescued. The mothers, frantic with de-
spair, watched their children as they We're
engulfed. The children uttered piercing
scrieks as they went down under the
waves 1t was with difficulty that the
women were restrained from jumping into
the sea.
A monk among the passengers was
drowned while kneeling on deck.
The Australian consul at Rio de Janeiro
jumped INTO the sea wearing a life belt.
He then noticed woman and rescued
her while she was on the point of going
down. He gave up his belt to her and
tried to swim ashore He was almost ex
hausted when rescued by a fishing ves-
sci. The body of a child brought ashore
had around its neck picture of the

drowned had elasped in his hands a pic

is the prior of the Benedictine order, with
headquarters in London.
Stokers 90 Down With Ship.
All the stokers went down with the ship.
They were unable to reach the deck in

NEGROES ASSERT
RIGHT To TAXES
Say Whites ~ not Educate
- Voluntarily
LABOR BEARS CIVIC BURDEN
Address Claims Negro Education
Should Not be Confined to In
divduaI Lines but Should
be Broad.

Washington, February 5.-The Negro
Young Peoples Christian and Education
al congress brought its sessions to
close here tonight by a meeting at Con-
vention hall Numerous addresses were
delivered mainly regarding the work nee
essary to raise the standard of the race.
During the day the members of the vari-
GUS denominations represented attended
services in the negro churches. A num-
her of the ministers filled local pulpits.
The last act of the congress at which
approximately six hundred persons were
present, was to issue a lengthy address
to the American public in which the hope
is expressed that an aroused public con-
science may be directed to Americas most
troublesome and complex problem--a har-
monious adjustment of the races
After directing the energies of the
Christian training and nurturing OF the
young and to great evangelical effort to-
wards spiritual awakening, the address
continues:
I'VE appeal to the friends of humanity
everywhere to aid and encourage him in
the development of character and ac-
QUESTION of intelligence. thrift and frugal
ity as a means to reach a higher level of
life"
Called II FaIlacy.
The address characterizes as a mis-
chievious fallacy the dogma that the
" hite race voluntarily imposes taxes upon
itself for the education of the negro" 1t
declares that the 'laborer more than any
other class bears the weight of the public
burden, and is justly entitled to share in
all public benefits and that the appor-
tionment of such benefits according to tax
paying abilities Is never advanced except
where the race issue Is involved"
Directly or indirectly" 1t : declared,
the negro contributes his fun share to-
wards bearing the public burden in every
southern city, and therefore is entitled to
the education of his children on equal
terms with the rest, as his just and equi-
table portion, and not a civic gratu-
ity."
Needs all Kinds of Education.
I'VE deprecate the controversy now hap
PLY waning between the advocates of
higher Industrial education The negro
requires every kind and degree of educa-
ton to meet the wide circle of his needs.
The question of Industrial, higher or pro-
fessional training, is merely one of ratio
and proportion and must be left to indi-
vidual aptitude, inclination and oppor-
tunity."
Declaring that crime has no color, and
the criminal no race, the address states
that to impute to q race the evil deeds
of individuals tends to promote rather
than diminish crime. 1t says all friends
of faw and order without regard to race,
