WILSON HEARS
PROTEST Of
NEGR0S

Washington, Nov. 12.-President
Wilson, while receiving delegations
OF negroes today who came to the
White House to protest against segre-
eating the races in government de-
partments objected to the tone adopt
cd by their spokesman, William Trot-
ter of Boston. and told the committee
that If 1t called on him again it
would have to get new chairman.
The president added that he had not
been addressed in such manner
since he entered the White House.
The delegation charged that Sec
retary McAdoo and Comptroller Will
Iiams in the treasury. and Postmas-
ter General Burleson had enforced
segregation rules in their offices.
President Wilson replied that he had
investigated the question and had
| been assured there had been no dis
elimination in the comforts ana sur
lroundings given to the negroes. He
added lie had been informed by Off
cials that the segregation had been
started to avoid friction between the
races and not with the object OF In
juring the negroes.
The president said he was deeply
interested in the negro race and
greatly admired MS progress. He de-
cIared the thing to be sought by the
negro people was complete independ-
ence of white people and that he
felt the white race was willing to
do everything possible to assist them.
Trotter and other members at
once took issue with the president
declaring the negro people did not
seek charity or assistance, but that
they took the position that the ne
groes had equal rights with whites
and that those rights should be re-
spected. They denied there had
been any friction between the two
races before the segregation was be-
gun.
President Wilson listened to what
they had to say and then told the
delegation that Trotter was losing
control of mis- temper and that he
(the president) would not discuss
the matter further with him.
After leaving the presidents pres
ence, Trottcr, Maurice Spencer and
other of the delegation declared
ltheir talk had been thoroughly dis
Amounting" They declared they
would hold a mass meeting in Wash
Iington Sunday to discuss the ques-
ton.
u Mr.. Wilson Is understood to have
told the committee the question was
not a political one and that he would
not take IL up on political grounds

LEAD WAR. hesuccessarv dee IL
London, Nov l2.--The Russian
successes in the east, which for
time were predominant features OF
the war news, must again diVide
space with the accounts OF re-kln-
died activity on the part OF the Ger
mans In West Flanders. where the
forces of Emperor William have dis
nroyed the contention of the allies
that their attempt to force their way
to Dunkirk and Calais had finally
failed.
With Dixuude in their possession,
the invaders today were less tnan
so miles from Calais and much near
or Dunkirk, and the fight they have
been putting up In the face of ire
meudous losses seems to bear out
what had also been said--that they
will not abandon this struggle to
reach the coast unless they are ut
terly crushed. The English and
French theory is that the holding OF
Dixmude is only temporary: that itf
history will be much the same as that
of other towns which have been TAX
on and retaken in the fighting on
the Yser
In certain places north of Dixmude
the Germans are at least on the left
bank of the User, that is. on the side
nearest the French coast towns, and
their attacks, instead of concentrat' t.
