AMERICA UNFAIR TO NEGRO SOLDIERS

The great war in Europe is
demonstrating to the world anew
the value of colored soldiers.
France has her African legions
aud they are compelling the ad-
miration of the world beca use of
their bravery, fearlessness and
efficiency. Such heroism and
daring as they displayed in a re-
cent cattle has seldom been wit
messed In modern warfare. Eng
land is rushing to the front as
many of her East Indian troops
as can be spared from India and
as Lord Crews said in the House
of Com mons, No doubt they
will give a good account OF them
selves"
The dark races in all history
and throughout the world have
given good account of themselves
upon the battle field. In all mod
ern wars and especially ia Ame-
RIGA has this been true and vet

country is making army life dis

HITS ONLY Big BUSINESS

Badger Psdaaoeue Tells Delegates to
Chamber Of Commerce Convention
That Small Dealers and Laborers
Are Permitted to Combine and
Monopoiize at Will.
Washington, Feb. 13.-President
Charles R. Van Hise Of the University
of Wisconsin proposed before the
Chamber of Commerce of America
here that the Sherman antitrust law
should be supplemented by an act
which would forbid only combinations
and contracts in restraint of trade
that are detrimental to the welfare
Of the people.
He charged that for political rea-
sons laws against monopolies and re-
straints of trade are enforced only
against "big business" the small deal
er, the farmer and the laborer being
permitted to combine and monopolize
at will.
Under the enforced competitive
SYSTEM President Van Hise said,
I'VE are recklessly Swimming the
cream of the natural resources of a
virgin continent, with no concern for
the FUTURE
To support this contention, the
speaker said that the coal mines
could produce 200,000,000l tons more
coal per year than the market de-
manded, but that the operators, regu-
lated by the Sherman act, were COM
PEELED to handle their mines without
cooperation in limiting the output,
dividing territory, or regulating prices.
