stroyed since the outbreak OF the pres
ent European conflict. The loss of
this trade, both import and export.
has been distressing to the country.
The banking interests there are con
trolled by Europeans, and one Of the
largest, hitherto controlled by English
capital, recently passed into German
control.
Liberians are beginning to regard
America as their friend. and this In
terest has been heightened since the
recent visit to this country of Hon.
John Lewis Morris, secretary OF the
treasury for the former country. In
speaking of the proposed organization
Consul General Lyon declared that 1t
would mean the welding together of
colored Americans and the people of
that country and the beginning OF deep
foreign interests for the men and wo-
men Of the race in this country.
"Liberia needs our products" he
said. land, especially 30 since the Euro
pean war has sti6ed Its sources of
imports and crippled Its export trade.
Liberia exports ivory, palm nuts, rub
Der, mahogany and other products that
would find a ready market In the Unit
ed States. A big international organ
ization in which men and women of
the race are interested could aid ma
terially In bringing about the desired
aim.
Liberia needs some Of our strongest
and most capable young men and wo-
men. 1t also needs the cooperation
and sympathy OF Americans. 1t at
foris fine opportunity for colored
Americans to take part In developing
its trade and resources.

portunity as they should there would
be no reason why vessels should not

AFFAIRS AT CORNELL.
Authorities ouash Attempt to
Draw Color Line.

Ithaca, y. Y.-The color line
has again taken u serious turn at
Cornell university. The object
Of race discrimination this time
il Miss Adelaide Cook, daughter
OF Mrs. Catherine G. G. Cook Of
Washington. Miss Cook is a
first year student and evinces an
air of confidence. refinement and
literary taste. Mrs. Cook pre-
ceded her daughter and on her
arrival at the university engas-
ed one OF the best rooms. No
objections were raised at the Sc
lection of rooms, but when Miss
Cook arrived 1t seems that the
word was passed around that a
\ young woman apparently of the
colored race had been enrolled
as first year student
Mrs. Cook alleges that five
white girl students from the
south are responsible for the un-
pleasant situation which con-
fronts her daughter. She took
the matter up with President
Schurman and has also called
the attention of the National
Association For the Advance
ment of Colored People to this
alleged attempt to draw the col
or line in an institution which
II is supposed knows no color or
creed in its educational work.
The complaint which Mrs.
Cook laid before President
Schurman is to the effect that
the i've white girls demand that
Miss Adelaide Cook and another
) colored cir. be denied rooms in
Sage hail. dormitory for girl
) students.
She also alleges that those in
) authority at Sage hall suggest
ell that Adelaide Cook and the
Other coiored girl room together.
use a separate bath and n re-
ceptiOn room downstairs. At a
second conference on the matter
the authorities refused to sane
ton any measure which would
tend iu any way to discriminate
} against any student on account
. of race or color.
