The dispatches seem to Indicate
that the German army in the neigh
borhood of Paris is beginning to
have that tired feeling. At least
its victorious advance has halted,
either from the opposition of the al
lies or for the purpose of executing
some strategic movement on a large
scale that has got everybody guess
ing. All things considered, it
seems from our neutral American
point of view that the prospect is
not so hopeful for the Germans now
and that the capture of Paris may
yet be found to be impossible. 1t is
evident enough that the conquest Of
the famous city is not to he repe
tition of the seige of 1870 and Il
may be that the German legion!
will never march through its streets

ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union met in business session
Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. H. B.
Morse. The meeting was opened by
the president with the usual devo-
tional exercises. A good report of
flower mission work was made. One
member reported having talked to
number of boys about cigarette
smoking and having twelve boys
pointed out to her as cigarette
fiends Ga rough name, boys. but
that is what you are coming to-
A conversation was also heard
among small boys, wherein they
boosted, some of them of having
been out til - o'clock at night,
and another that he went up town
at twelve to bum around" They
also compared notes as to their
winnings in playing cards. We
have have a curfew law; why is it
not being enforced? 1t Goes not
seem necessary to burden our city
manager with these things when
we have officers to enforce these
laws who are supposed to be ia
miliar with the laws. If they are
not they should be instructed. Some
mothers are finding it difficulty to
teach their boys that it is wrong to
, gamble on the ball games when they
| see older men, and, it is asserted,
I even city officers are betting on the
| game. To give a little more as
, sistance to our city manager, We
5 would like to call attention to the
e ordinance requiring drivers of au.
l tomobiles to be 16 years old. II
Y laws are good, enforce them; il
they are bad, repeal them.

Austria still holds to her military
traditions and gets the worst of 1t
right along. She started the war
but seems to be very ineffective
ally of Germany in helping to bring
it to a successful conclusion. The

of his Austrian support would make
interesting reading.

The Honorable Michael F. Sullivan is

was especially shown in the recent

ing q White woman.

forced to appeal to Michael F. Sulli-
van, Chief Assistant States Attorney
who Immediately gave instructions to
have the warrant issue for the arrest Of

Courtney said in denying the warrant
that it was his opinion that Boyer was
right in discriminating according to the
police orders to refuse to serve mixed
couples.
Michael +. Sullivan after hearing the
facts and the judges reasons for re-
fusing to issue the warrant, said he be-
ieved that every person regardless OF
race or color should have the equal
and full proteetion-Of the law and the
warrant was issued upon his instrue'

nights and sweltering days they forded
123 streams and crossed preeipiees and
mountains where the daily average Of
ascent and descent was not less than
5000 feet. For three weeks these
troops lived on unaeeustomed and in
sufficient foodstuffs and drove the enemy
twice from strong positions. They
captured many of the natives and set
free more than 400 prisoners. They
finally forced the surrender Of the COM
mander of the insurreeto forces and
made the people of Luzon enthusiastic
advocates Of American supremacy. No
other single command during the Philip
pine trouble stood as many hardships
or accomplished so much as these Negro
soldiers under Capt. Bachelor. Such
was the report made at the time; and
although Gen. Lawton was killed, Capt.
Bachelor carried out his verbal orders,
and died of cholera in the Philippines,
thus going to his grave without any
further reward of recognition for one
of the bravest expeditions ever attempt
ed by soldiers in modern times.
A writer on military subjects, re-
ferring to the incident, wrote that
When Alexander, in quest of king
doms, had laid Egypt at his feet, he fell
against Abyssinia, was utterly repulsed,
and retreated to England. L'Overture
and Dessalines whipped England, !
France, and Spain, and a half million
black men whipped one-half Of Europe.
And for 80 years Cuban Negroes fought /
Spain for political freedom, and finally,
with the aid Of the Ninth and Tenth
Cavalry of the United States, fought
for and won their industrial and po-
litical emancipation.
In q report made by the Surgeon
General Of the Army under date of
October 81, 1912, it is found that the
Negro soldier loses less time in the
Army service by reason Of sickness
than does the White enlisted soldier.
The report in question states:
The Negro soldier has demonstrated
his ability to serve with less loss Of
time from active duty by reason Of
sickness than the White enlisted man.
The nonefective rate of the Colored
soldier was 25.ss, while that Of the
White was $3.50. From report Of Surg.

iata as an object lesson and q living
