which make for international STRIFE

fairs is a matter of speculation. we
have seen a war burst upon Europe
with appalling suddenness and Win
effects which make US shudder TO con-

Pass the plate for Starving 5eIsians

Pass the Fate Tor StaFN'U9 SS'se"e
Editor Kennebec Journal:
Christmas approaches and countless
unhappy Belgians. despite governmental
relief, the Rockefeller Foundation ana
other valuable agencies, are confronted
with starvation. therefore beg the IA
vor of your columns to say that the
Dollar Christmas Fund for Homeless
Belgians, of which 1 am Treasurer Is
working for the special purpose OF pre-
venting starvation amongst hundreds OF
thousands of Belgians this winter. For
this purpose we are cooperating with
the London Shilling Fund.-" much
older fund which has collected nearly
100000 and which is expressly organized
to see that no Belgian man. woman or
child spends Christmastide devoid OF
food and shelter.
There will be on duplicating, no over
tapping and every penny subscribed Will
go direct to the victims in whose behalf
appeal / believe this great work of
mercy commands the sympathy of us all
and more especially in this month when
Americans doubly blessed with peace and
plenty are preparing to celebrate the day
of Thanksgiving. Inspired by this
thought l suggest various ways in which
you can help to avert the agony of SUI
fering which must otherwise confront
the refugees during the coming winter.
You can send a donation to our Fund ad-
dressed to myself as Treasurer. Messrs.
Henry Clews & Co., Bankers, Broad
Street New York, or you can apply to
our Secretary. Percy Bullen. 6s Broad
ty,xx 0rI
He will be glad to issue same to any
person enclosing references. Churches,
Chapels, Clubs, Societies and Sunday
Schools can assist by a collection. En-
tertanment committees may render
great help by sending us the proceeds of
benefit performances. In all these ways
friends everywhere are assisting nobly.
All the money received will be cabled to
Europe before Dec. goth. Many heads of
families and boarding houses have prom
ised to pass the plate" for the homeless
Belgians before the turkey on Thanks
giving day. The needs are immeasura-
BILE Let us remember that no little ma
ton In the worlds long history has been
more grievousiy stricken yet no people
can raise their heads more proudly from
the dust THE CROWN OF THORNS
IS STILL A CROWN! Help us as best
you can. Your gift will surely be re-
membered long after the war has ceased
and no mans Thanksgiving or Christmas
day will be the less happy because In
some cases the gift may entail some
measure of personal sacrifice.
Yours very truly,

The President and the Negroes.

II
The sectional intolerance and inner
ent feeling of superiority manifeste1
by President Wilson in his treatment
of delegation of negroes who called
upon him on Thursday well illustrates
the attitude of this administration to-
wards the colored race. These negroes
called at the White House by appoint
ment to protest against the segrega-
ton Of negroes in the government de-
partments by orders of Secretaries
McAdoo, Burleson and Daniels, all
Southerners. The President denied
that segregation rules were being en-
forced in the government depart
ments, said their complaints were un-
justified and insisted that what the
colored people should seek was COM
plete independence from the white
race He told them that the white
people were willing to do all in their
power to assist them to attain this.
The chairman of the delegation replied
to the President that the negro race
did not seek charity nor assistance,
but simply justice. He proclaimed
that the negroes had equal rights with
the whites and that these rights
should be respected, especially In the
government service At this the Pres
ident took offense objected to the tone
the chairman Of the delegation had as
sumed and terminated the interview
In the first place the negroes have
reason to complain about the manner
in which they have been treated by
this Democratic administration as
they have been Disseminated against
In every way. In the second place they
have a right to voice their complaints
and the proper authority to receive
them is the President. A colored mar
is entitled to the same treatment al
the hands Of the President as is an,
other person and to receive him al
though he were an inferior being and
to offend his pride by treating him
like a child is unworthy Of the great
Office Mr.. Wilson occupies.

concluded between China and the
United States of America. The out
break of the European confagration
has indicated that treaties are of COM
paratively little value when nations
are determined upon war, and all the
peace conferences and meetings at the
Hague Tribunal are shown to have
represented only the good Intentions
of the moment, especially as 1t has be

signatory to treaty must have signed
