Bruce on Heroism Of colored Soldiers
President John Edward Bruce of the
Negro Society For Historical Re-
search, Yonkers, N. Y, very aptly calls
attention to the fact that in the Mas

years ago there was exhibited a silk
nag bearing the device Of a pine tree
and a "buck," with the initials u. H."
and &c. w." over a scroll, on which
appear the words "The Bucks of
America" This relic had been care
fully preserved as the flag presented
by Governor Hancock to a company
Of Negro soldiers bearing that name
which served with distinction in the
Revolutionary war.

ard Oil Office. 26 Broadway, New Yo.k.
by W. w. WINFIELD and Charles
Stump, negro messengers employed by

Stewart, negro law clerk.
Stewart said he was employed by

was found in Chicago, Stewart said,
and told him how he and Stump took
copies of letters from the Standard
Oil files and disposed of them to a rep,
resentative of William R. Hearst.
While in Chicago. Dec. 81, Stewart
declared, he was kidnapped by gang,
sters," taken to the Office of Chicago

tiers to him from Foraker.

TITANIC SURVIVORS
ASK $|o,oOo,0Oo
Time to Bring Suit Extended
to February |

New York, Jan. 15.-Fifty lawyers
who hope to obtain for their clients
more than $1OpO0,00O damages for loss
of life and property on the steamship
Titanic were arrayed against attorneys
for the White Star line in the United
States district court at the expiration
of the time limit set by the court for
bringing suits The limit was extend
ed to Feb. /.
The White Star line contends that
its entire liability is limited under the
United States statutes to less than
500, 0OO-the value of recovered
wreckage and passage money.
American claimants allege that the
line cannot claim this limitation be-
loss of life by reason of personal negH
gence. If their assertion in this re-
Spect is sustained, the claimants will,
recover full damages.
But even If this claim is not upheld.
the contention of A. L. Brougham, rep
resenting two hundred claimants, is
that the White Star lines liability can
be limited only by the provisions OF
the British law, which would compe
the company to pay total damages Of
about 100000
Mr.. Brougham has Instituted an ap
peal in the court of appeals, where he
hopes to determine fully the rights o
the death claimants to bring suit fol-
full damages. Because of this appeal
the lower court granted tho postpone
ment.

Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretary, that they were authorized

Immediately unless the Turks agreed
to the terms offered by the allies, In

It was said later that the delegates
Of the allies had decided definitely tc

taneously with the presentation to the
Turkish government of the note of the
European powers. The resolution is te
be communicated to the Porte In 8
formal note.
At the same time it was decided te
instruct the commanders of the armed
forces of the Balkan allies In the fed
to terminate the armistice which has
been in operation since Dec. 3.
The threatening note of the allies
to the Turks is to be worded in such
q way that it will become effective
only in the event Of q pc Ottoman gov

advice given to it by the ambassadors

The Turkish ENJOYS. Rechad Pasha
Osman Nazami Pasha and Tewfil

advices from Constantinople, where
the decision of the grand council still
was unknown. The Ottoman delegates
had nothing to say. but it was believed
that they were confident that the wal
would be resumed, possibly within the
week.
In diplomatic circles the outlook was
admittedly dark. It was conceded as
probable that the Turkish grand coun
ell would declare for war, as the
Young Turk and miiltarist factions
weer in the ascendant, and the grand
vizier, Kiamil Pasha, could not wei
oppose them without sacrificing his
ministry and perhaps himself.
With Turkey and the Balkan allies
openly preparing for further fghtint

differing among themselves, it was ad
