IMMORTALITY CHARGED
AGAINST NEGRO
BAPTISTS.

In a late issue of the Phila-
delphia Tribune, of which Mr..
CHRIS J. PERRY is editor, direct,
severe and serious charges are
made against some of the Bap-
fist ministers, who recently at
tended the National Baptist
Convention held in Philadelphia.
Editor PERRY does not mince
words. If one-half of what the
Philadelphia Tribune alleges
against the conduct of some of
these Baptist ministers is true,
it represents very serious con-
dition-one that the Baptist fra
ternity cannot fail to give at
tention.
The officers of the National
Baptist Convention cannot af-
ford to ignore these charges.
They should be taken up, inves-
ticated and something given out
to the public concerning them.
The time has long passed when
it pays to cover up or attempt
to cover up the filth of the
minister.
Let us have the light. We call
upon President Z. c. MORRIS
and other officers of the Nation
al Baptist Convention to make
an investigation and then speak
out. The public demands infor-
nation. The ministers who
are guilty, if there are such,
should be condemned. Those
who are innocent should be ex-
onerated.
The New York Age.
This is the correct position to
take in the premises.
OF course, according to law,
these defendants" are presumed
innocent until proven beyond a
reasonable d o u b t, that the
charges are true. They, the
ones charged. and the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, only
know but murder will out,
and time will tell. We hope the
charges an IGNIs FATUUs.

UNEMPLOYMENT SLIGHT
AS RESULT OF THE WAR
Increase Of Those Entirely Idle In
England Declared Not More ~
Than 8 Per Cent.

LONDON. September l2.-The board Of
trade summarizes as follows the result
of its inquiry ~ to the effect Of the war
on employment:
"The general conclusion IL that there
is at the moment a contraction Of en-
ployment. This has been met to q very
marked extent by a reduction Of hours
instead Of q reduction of STATS. Ninety
three per cent of the working people en-
gagged in production are still wholly or
partly employed.
1.-The returns show that Of the contrac-
ton Of Z per cent In the number employ
ed. at least two-thirds represent men
who have eft for military service. Thus
the percentage Of working people wholly
unemployed. including women. has been
Increased by war by . little more than
2 per cent"
The two industries most affected are
the cotton market and the construction
Of vehicles.

AnpeaI to Americans for Finan-
ciaI Assistance Comes by
Cable From Warsaw.
MILLION ON battlefield;
COUNTRY IS DESTITUTE
American Hospital Is Organized
and Money Is Necessary to
Garry on Work.

A copy OF an appeal to Americans Tor
financial assistance for thousands of
Polish families In distress in Europe
because of the devastating war was
received today In Washington. This
appeal is based on a plea cabled from
Warsaw. Russian Poland by George
Sosnowski and Witold Fuchs. who are
at the head Of the movement In Po-
land, to John F. Smulski of Chicago.
asking that the. assistance Of Ameri-
cans be enlisted In a relief movement.
A committee has been organized In Chi
cago to take charge of the Polish relief
work In the United States. composed
Of eminent business men not of Polish
extraction. - -
The caolegram from the Polish commit
tee In Warsaw thus briefly pictured the
Polish distress:
''Milion Poles on battlene,d4 thousa nds
wounded. We organize Polish-American
mittees appealing to Poles and Ameri
cans for financial help, which is needed
urgently. Suggest arranging for the
transmission of funds through the State
Department"
The appeal sent out by Mr. smulski in
response to the cablegram Is as follows:
"slain by Their Own Brothers"
1.-THE above cablegram was received
Yesterday. 1t reveals a situation unpar-
alle!ed in history. One million Polish
boys are at the front; thousands are
slain, many thousands wounded. BY
whom? BY their own brothers-they are
not fighting q common foe. Not as the
Belgian boy, who dies for his fatherland
to testify to the fortitude of his people.
Not as the French boy. who dies to re-
venge Pruss'an invasion. to save Francs.
Not as the Servian boy, who dies fighting
the hated Austrian. Not as the British
lad, who dies for the honor of England
In testimony Of his countrys fidelity.
Not as the Russian boy. who dies for the
'sttle father and his holy church. Not as
the German boy, who dies to add glory
and luster to the escutcheon Of Hohen-
zoI.ern.
"No, the Polish boy dies because they
have forced upon him the uniform OF his
oppressor and his enemy. The Polish
boy In Russian uniform has no quarrel
with the Polish boy who bears the col
ors of Germany or Austria. He reels no
loyalty and owes no allegiance to his
sovereign. except by coercion. He fights
and kills, but he has no interest In the
cause. If he kills his brothers and wins
the battle, he has won for his oppressor.
II he dies on the battlefield by his broth.
er's hand, he descends to an unnonoreo
grave ,,.,
uniform against his friends ana eynpa-
thizers, and on the side OF the oespolief
of his country.
