WILSON'S NAME HOOTED
AT NEGROES MEETING
TrOtter of Boston Says Presi-
dent Insultcd Him After
Prediction Promise.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-The name OF
President Wilson was booted and jeered
and met with cries of Put him out OF the
White House" at an indignation meeting
of negroes held in Washington tonight to
protest against the present Administra-
TONS policy of segregating negroes EN-
ployed in the Government departments In
Washington.
William NJ Trotter. preacher and edi-
tor of Boston, was the chief speaker at
the meeting. which was an aftermath OF
the visit OF a delegation of negroes. headed
by Trotter, to President Wilson last week.
The President was obliged sharply to
rebuke Trotter and his colleagues, repre-
senting the National Independent Equal
Rights Suffrage League. for language they
addressed to him In support OF their pro-
test against segregation OF negroes in
Washington.
Trotter was greeted tonight as the
hero Of this episode, which received much
publicity. and was applauded for five min
utes by the 500 negroes attending the
meeting when he arose to speak. Trotter
denied that he had in manner or language
been rude, insolent or insulting In his con-
versat ton with the President and asserted
that the President. and not he. was re-
sponsible for the publicity given the in
cident
Tro-ter expressed the hope that the
Presidents feeling over their CONVERSE
tion was not due to his Southern birth
and said that he was sure the Governor
of Massachusetts would have found
nothing Objectionable in what he had said
TO the President. Two years ago, Trotter
said. he was received cordially by the
then Presidential candidate and was as
sured that the Federal laws affecting
negroes would be executed in Christian
spirit IL Wilson were elected. and he
said. on the basis of these assurances
he spread the word among negroes that
they had nothing 10 fear from Woodrow
Wilson.
The meeting adopted resolutions pro-
testing vigorously against the segrega-
ton OF negroes in Federal employ.

Germans Are Reported Driven From

NDSTtdf 'dbis DSsDIrCh 10 IHE SIN
PARis, Nov. l5.-The Government re-
port tonight contained the most i'm
portant news that has come from
Flanders for several days-that the
Germans were dislodged to-day from
the one position they had been able To
seize on the left bank Of the User and
that the Allies continue the successful
defence Of their spearhead position.
Ypres. The text Of the communique
issued at 1895 7. VI. was as follows:
The most noteworthy incident OF
to-day was the repulse of the enemy
Ia the right bank OF the User Canal.
The part of the left hank which
the Germans still held has been
completely reoccupied by our forces.
South Of BiXschoote We have re-
captured a small wood which had
been lost as result of night at
tack.
At the end Of the day the enemy
attempted without success TO re-
sumo the offensive south of Ypres.
on the rest of the front there is
nothing to report.
The report Of the afternoon indicated
that the only violent fighting yesterday
was in Flanders. where the Germans
tried again and again To break the
Allies line Al Ypres and We're each time
defeated. Fightin;. slackcned consider
ably elsewhere and was marked only by
cannonading and unimportant attacks
and counter attacks on trenches that
in many places are not 500 yards apart.
The text of the report issued at 3 p NJ.
was as follows:
During yesterday relative calm
prevailed on the entire front. char
acter!zed principally by heavy cam
nonading. However, the Germans
attempted again several attacks
northeast and south of Ypres. All
were repulsed with considerable
losses for them,
To sum up, every effort made by
the Germans during the last few
days has resulted only in The cap

whose isolated position on the
right bank of the User Canal made
IT,, defence difficult. Between the

Ca2laux Leaves France:
Paris Hears He Is Exiled
Another Report Is He Is on
Business Mission to
Brazil.
Special Cdbie Despatch 10 THn suS


PARIS, Nov. 15.-Much mystery is con
nected with the sudden departure for
South America of Joseph Cailaux. for
iner Premier and Minister OF Finance
who was accompanied by his wife. the
central figure in sensational murder
case few months ago
The newspapers here merely mention
the fact that NJ. and Nine. Caillaux
left Bordeaux yesterday on the liner
Perou, which goes to Puerto Cabell,
and La Guayra in Nenezue.N II is
hinted however that the man whom
Germany has called her greatest friend
in France is going into enforced exile.
This may lie bold statement. but IL
is believed extraordinary that a man
who held the rank of Paymaster In the
army who was recently reelected a
member Of the Chamber of Deputies
and who UP until the trial of his wife
Tor the murder of CASTOR Calmette. the
editor OF the Figaro. was the mos;
powerful politician in France-it seems
strange that such a man should leave
France in time of war.
Another version Of the sudden de-
parture OF NJ. Caillaux says the purpose
of his trip to South America liz a visit
to Brazil where he will inquire into the
possibilities of obtaining brazilian raw
materials and foodstuffs for France that
were formerly imported from Germany
and Austria 1t is also said that NJ Call

Nine. Caillaux took up Red Cross work
after her acquittal in the latter part of
July and has since been actively en-
gagged in that line. Caillaux himself
has been much heard from since he was
appointed to the paymaster's depart
ment. II was reported. but not con-
iirmed. that he went to the front and
offered to give favored treatment to

also said that he made a speech re-
heCting on the British troops. For this
statement he WAS said TO have been
sentenced to a week in prison by Gen.
Gallieni, the military governor Of Paris.
When Gen. Jotrre heard Of IL he doubled
the sentence.
Only about ten days ago-to prove
that the French people have not for
gotten about Caillaux-he and his wife
were publicly iUsulted while driving
through the streets Of Paris. \ crowd
