NEGROES
AS RACE AGITATORS
Said to Be Preaching Anti
White Crusade in British

BERLIN. Aug. 10-The German gov
eminent is watching with keen interest
the action Of the British government in
regard To the American negroes who
are preaching an anJi-white crusade in
South Africa.
There has been reason 10 believe that
much of the trouble. not only in British
South Africa, but in German Southwest
Africa. has been due TO the activity
of these American negroes.
Evidence is not wanting that there IS
a well-dedned movement with headquar-
tiers in the United States 20 arouse all
Of the tribes against the whites. Ennis
sarics are sent out in the guise Of mis-
sionaries and these men preach race
hatred much more than they do the
gospel.
No representations have been made TO
.ae United States Government by Ger
many up 10 this time. because OF the
fmDossibiIity Of getting convincing PROOF
against the trOuble-makers. It is said,
however. on what may be regarded as

No Cause for Excitement.

The killing of the five Japanese
seal Poachers by properly accredited
guards at, St. Paul island in Behring
sea should not reach the dignity of
an international episode.
Japan has not even the diplomatic
right TO demand an apology. Her
subjects were robbers of the most
persistent and audacious sort. They
made a number of concerted raids
on toe property leased by the Unit
ed States to the North American
Commercial Company. and in the
eye Of international law they were
in the position of burglars discover
ed by householders, and just as
liable to be shot with impunity.
This Government may express its
regret that the incident occurred.
but is not called upon, and in fact
ought not, TO apologize for the justi-
fable killing of marauders.

the United States. England, and
Russia, seal poaching Is a constant
menace to the peace of the Behring
islands. Only two years ago a raid
was made by one Alex Mclean, an
American citizen. on the Komman-
der islands, belonging TO Russia.
McLean's party was fired on and
one of his men killed. But the
United States, far from feeling ag-
grieved at Russia, had the fellow
indicted and ordered revenue cut
tiers to capture him, which, however,
they have not yet succeeded in do
ing He it is who is suspected of
leadership in the present raid.
Japan, although she is not bound
TO protect the seals from pOachers,
can hardly work herself into anger
over this event.
This little tragedy in the waters
of the far North ought to teach
japanese and others the danger of
rObbing the seal rOOkeries. Had 1t
been more severe, il had been bet
ter. for the poachers who got OFF
with 200 valuable skins doubtless
regard their five dead as a very
cheap price. Some day Mclean him
