LAWSUIT over
THOU" and YOU"
Negro in Berlin Objects to
Being Addressed as
"Du.'

Berlin. July 1S.-It is this: May
any negro be addressed Familiarity as
''du" (thou> as matter OF course?
A negro named Mackenzie is response
bic for bringing this grave matter be-
fore a court in Hamburg. He called
at the office of the Woerman Steam
ship Line to inquire about the cost
of ticket to Africa. Herr Graf OF
the office. asked him What dos thou
want here?" Mackenzie protes ed and
demanded that he be addressed as
"you." Graf refused Mackenzie call
ed at the office three times and was
each time addressed as thou" Graf
steadily refusing TO employ the moro
polite form of address. The negro
thereupon brought an action for in
suit.
Before the court Graf declared that
he had been in the African service
twenty years, has never addressed ne
groes other than with thou and
that he had merely treated Mackenzie
as he would treat any negro. Grafs
attorney asked that the courts rule
that any negro could be properly adj
dressed as thou" The court refused
thus to rule, declaring that a distinc-
ton must be made between educated
and uneducated negroes. He would.
however. acquit Graf if the latter
could bring evidence to show that
it was the custom of the company to
address all negroes in the second
person singular. The case was adj
journed to permit CART to secure this
evidence

They are not aliens who wandered in

ages before the Turks appeared in
Europe. Public opinion here is con-
vinced that is part of deliberate
plan conceived by the Young Turks
to purge the forces of Islam from the
Grek element which weakened them
so ostensibly in Macedonia in the
recent wars. 1t is part of the Young
Turkish scheme too, to recall Mosl-

1t is computed that the Ottoman
empire still number 100000. Hell
lenes among its SUBJECTS and fears
are entertained that these will all
come under the prescription, the OPP
perfume moments being chosen to
suit the convenience Of the Ministers
of War and Marine.
The only ray of hope is the action
of Talaat Bey, the Turkish minister
of the interior who has promised to
check the expulsion and has even
made a journey to the scene of the
outrages with the object of protecting
the Orthodox Greeks in person. But
Talaat is single figure and his
overthrow in face of Young Turk
opinion may come soon.
Meanwhile the representatives OF
the Powers in Constantinople. have
not been idle. Their notes to the
Sublime Porte have brought a half
hearted promise from Mehammed VS.
representatives that the offences will
cease. Roumania and Servia are also
both employing strenuous efforts to
induce the Ottoman statesmen to
meet the Greeks halfway 1t is to be
noted that the exodus of Moslems is
not from Greek territory only. but
also from New Bulgaria, New Servia
and New Montenegro.

A rainfall OF over three inches was
recorded in Pensacola for the twenty
four hours ending at o'clock last
