NEGRO BUSINESS
MEMS LEAGUE
HOLDS MEETING
J. S. A:sthorpe Divides an Address
Into Three Parts, Business, Edu-
cation and Citizenship.

john s. Aisthorpe, president Of
the First Bank and Trust Company,
was the principal speaker Monday
evening at a meeting of Cairo Negro
Business Mems league, branch Of
the National Business Mems League
of the United States.
The meeting. which was held in
the assembly room of Sumner school,
was attended by about $50 of Cairo
representative negroes in Which
there was fair sprinkling Of the
feminine population.
Mr.. Aisthorpe divided his address
into three parts, business, education
and citizenship.
Referring to the first he commend
1t warmly the interest and forward
stride that had been made in the
commercial field by the negro race of
the United States. lie told them in
the struggle for supremacy that
there was always room at the top
of the ladder for the progressive and
aggressive business man.
He warmly advocated education
as tho sure remedy for shiftlossncs5
and as an incentive to cleaner NOR
ais and unrightness which impelled
respect and the esteem of the world
Citizenship and education were
twin relatives, going hand in hand
through successful business, social
and political life. He told them
that a great deal of the prejudice
against the negro race was the re-
suit of the mistaken idea prevalent
among those of the race, who COM
ing from the south after crossing
the line. had an impression that
liberty was a synonym for license
which on account of their frequent
unlawful actions brought the whole
race into disrepute. Mr.. AisthorEe
did not claim that this impression
was general hut in consequence Of
the strong prejudice aroused by the
few it was but natural that the be-
lief should be widespread and odium
attached largely TO all of the race by
those acquainted with the facts.
He advocated that the better ele-
ment of the race should frown
strongly down upon those OF their
race who had mistaken ideas OF lto-
erty aud by this means make law
lessncss a rarity instead of common
place feature today when the time
of our courts is occupied principally
in the adjustment of affairs ia
which the negro race predominant.

RUSSIAN EMBASSY REOPENS,

The Russian Embassy has been re-

Austro-H Hungarian diplomatic service un-
represented in Washington. Col. Cole
jewski. of the imperial genral stan,

present in charge. He received yester-
day from Petrograd est. Petersburg) the
following dispatch:
"On September our troops took the
strong Notifications OF Mikolaev on the
Dneister. The moats OF these forts were
covered by flanking artillery fire. We
took forty guns and large stores OF sup
plies and ammunition In Northern
Galicia serious fighting is going on at
Rawa Ruska, and the first Austrian
army, which had been advancing to-
wards Lublin and Kohlm is retreating

ton.
In one Of the field hospitals that fell
into our hands were found 500 Austrian
soldiers i'll with dysentery. This illness
is sweeping the ranks Of the enemy.

The report that the Austrian force IN
Galicia has been stricken with dysenteria
is the first report from any quarter OF
the ravages of disease.

WAR HAS BENEFICIAL
EFFECT ON RUSSIA
Peoples Ideal of Liberty Is Revived.
While Prohibition of Alcohol Re
moves Baneful influence.
VICTORIES CAUSE NO HYsTERIA

Petrograd, Sept. $50 far the war has
had merely a stimulating and invigorat-
ing, effect on Russia. True she has suf-
fered her losses: the increase Of figures
clad in mourning bears melancholy wit
ness to this But Individual bereavement
and suffering are merged in the national
rejoicing over the results already achieved
and the iron determination Of the gov
Crnment to. prosecute the war until Ger
many is brought to her knees.
When Germany Iight-heartedly en-
barked upon war she was under many
delusions, but nome OF them greater than
that which concerned the attitude OF the
people of this country. Months before the
outbreak of the war it had become the
fixed belief OF Germany that Russia was
on the eve of revolution and that any
war in which she became involved would
only hasten the progress of her disintegra-
tion. Nothing could be further from the
truth. The sobriety and steadiness Of her
attitude have been conspicuous,
The announcements OF the general stan.
which form practically the only news
published with reference to the opera
tions of the Russian armies, are models
of modesty. AS a matter of fact, when
they depart from the barest statement of
fact, they are inclined to underestimate
the accomplishments OF Russian valor.
BY the public they are received with
calm. whatever their purport.
Very little disposition to hysterical
exuItation is apparent, either in the press
or the public attitude. Even news of
the fall Of Lemberg was received with
out any loss Of dignity.
At the same time, a deep enthusiasm
is coming over the Russian people and,
il the war continues to follow the course
1t has taken, this probably will result
in a great national renaissance. For
generations, in spite OF her astounding
progress in many directions. Russia. as
a whole, has effected nothing which
has deeply stirred the imaginations of
her people. The successful issue OF the
present campaign will mean a great re-
birth of selfconfidence and the revival.
in thousandfold force, of the old ideals
of liberation held by the people.
The prohibition of alcohol consumption
extended to the conclusion OF the war
points to one of the obvious paths to ma
tional rebirth. The war against drunken
ness occupies only less space in the
newspapers than the war against Ger
many and Austria. This curse OF Rus
sia has undoubtedly been dealt a stag
gering blow.

The German Embassy received no less
than four radiograms from the Berlin

patch follows:

The second dispatch related to a new
victory for the German arms in East
Prussia, saying:
"A column under command OF Gen.
Kestranek advancing with the eastern
army against Gen. Dankl on Russian
territory repulsed a violent attack of
Russians Captured 600 Of them. In the
south Servians tried, near Mitrovicka, to
break into Croatian territory. About 1900
Servians were taken prisoners and much
war material captured"
The third dispatch contained more OF
Germany's side Of the Louvain incident
and said:
The Koelnische Volks-Zeitung. Ger
many's leading Catholic organ. prints an
interview with Mgr. DR.. Coenrad, vice
rector OF the Louvain University. He
says there was hot firing upon German
soldiers in streets. Firing was from
Belgian guns, which give different report
from German rifles. Coenrad was one of
the hostages held by the Germans at the
time Of firing. He heard that other
prominent citizens were led around the
streets to read German proclamations at
forty or fifty different places, warning
against shooting. Even while
reading these he heard Belgian shots
He highly praises the entire
bearing Of the Germans after entering
the city"
The last dispatch was a warning to
and related to the safety Of
the mails from the United States to Ger
many. II was as follows:

Paris, Sept. S-After their astonishing

selves for a great move. For a time
fighting tactics are unimportant. Strategy
is again the deciding feature.
The Germans failed to force decisive

The Germans mean to attack Paris.
No doubt of 1t. 1t is Paris or die. There
has been considerable movement of their
troops to the southeast Of st. Denis. This
has been construed as an attempt to turn
the rear Of the French positions on the
frontier and to create a diversion in
favor Of the crown princes army. 1t
is the apparent intention TO link up the
German forces and either to surround the
French army Of Lorraine or advance in
double force on Paris.
In view Of the Importance Of time il Is
more than probable that the movement

tory to an advance upon the capital from
