washington, Dec. 2s.-~The civil ser- vice commission has been communicat- ea with by wilbert T. Gsorge, q ns- gro. who IS the only tpie one Tor 9 rfAfjysKfB in the IostoiNc ce Mt HAT tiesburg and has been advised by cef- tain white persons in that place to re- main away from the post office, other wise he would be mobbed.
 George recently advised the ciVil ser vice commission that the pest master at Hattiesburg had rendered him po- sition and he had accepted but had fail- cd to put in an appearance for duty on account of the mob that was threaten ing him.
 thing equally as good in the civil ser vice as ,ocr my examination. says George in hls letter to the commission. "It is not safe for me to even stay here longer than tonight. You can ad- dress me for the next few days at Gainesville, Miss.
 "As I have not heard from you feel at liberty to take thls action"
 finder date of December 26, Commis- sioner Green replying to the letter stated that 1t was within his dlscre- ton to decline or accept the appoint ment as rendered by the postmaster. Tt is not the policy Of the commisslon, continued Mir Green, ito transfer the names of eligibles from one postoffice to another unless tho needs of the, ser vice actually require such action"
 It is stated today by the commission that the postmaster at Hattiesburg had not been heard from and 1t was thought that the matter would remain In the position 1t now Is until the attention of the postmaster generals department or the commission Is called officially 10 the inability of George to perform the work to which he has been assign ed.
 While the commission refuses to out Iine its probable action, it is thought 1hat should Geor~e insist upon per- forming the serA ce of clerk in the Hattiesburg post office, he will be transferred to some other place where the race question does not figure as now in Mississippi

America VIII Act with England In
 Congo state Matter.
 Washington, Dec. 2s--It was said at the State Department today that the United States government through its ambassador in London had pledged to Great Britain it's support in any steps taken by the British government to- ward ameIiorating conditions in the Congo
 This is the first time that any offl- ciaI announcement has been made and sets at rest ali questions as to the stand the United States would take in case 1t became necessary for one or more powers sIgnatory to the Berlin treaty to intervene It IS well known that the agitation in England for some action by the government under It's treaty obligations looking to reforms in the Congo has been as great if not greater than in the United States. but England apparently has been 10th to act.
 The matter again was before the State Department today when pr. How ard Guinnes. of England. head of ''the regions beyond Missionary Union, called upon Secretary Root and urged independent action by the United States. maintaining that this country was morally bound to act because 1t was the first to recognize the flag or the Congo Free state.
 It is not believed, however. that any, thing in that direction will be done, certainly not until action is taken by the Senate on the Lodge resolution piedging the support of the Senate to any steps taken by this government toward ameliorating Ehe conditions in that country.
 Mr. Chimes, however, left the de- pertinent with the assurance that the United States government would not permit itself to be influenced by the fact that King Leopold recently has granted extensive rubber concessions in the Congo territory to certain Amer jeans,
