When the French Red Cross nurse

milk-carts to enter Brussels. because
Brussels babies were starving By the
score, the officer replied:
You ask the aDsurd-the impos-

children. all are enemies or the fathS

skilled throat-cutter OF tomorrow. Its
starvation Is on q par with the burn
ing Of fields Of wheat, the demolition
of houses and other things that make
for the future weakness Of the enemy.
That German officer was, in all
probability. afraid that the milk-cart
men would act as spies or bring in
provisions for the hidden enemy In
Brussels. But underneath what he
called an absurdity was militarism's
legitimate policy of letting the babies
of the enemy starve because of their
future possibilities as enemies. Mill

as II were, germ that will soon cost
blood and money to destroy. Il Is
horrible, terrible, but truth often II

THE ,LYNCHERS CORPS
An Appeal Editorial Suggesting
Europe the Formation of Army Corps Which Would Make
Their Most 1nhuman Generals Look Like Pikers

War devastates Europe. The "Chris
tan" emperOrs have ordered the fool
poor people to go out and kill one al
! other and after attending church where
! their swords are blessed by the priests
and they pray to God for success, the
massacre starts.
THE APPEAL wishes to. call the
attention of the murder-mad monarcr>
to the possibility of forming an army
corps in this country, which for eff
cheney in its chosen line would make
the most feroEious, blood-thirsty and
inhuman generals look like a lot of
pikers.
Why not organize "Lynchers'
Corps?' Let it be under the supreme

of South Carolina. Senator Ben Till

who boosted in the United States

their rights as free men, would be an
ideal man for chief of staff. Ben is

he knows more about the Bible than
any other Senator.
Senator Vardaman, that great Chris
tian" who has devoted his life to the
undoing of colored brethren; Senator
Williams also of Mississippi, whose re-
cent speech in Congress was more bit
ter than his colleagues against one

Senator Hoax Smith, whose news

Bills and Enforcement of the Constitution Before Voting

At the Seventh Annual Meeting of
the National Independent Equal
Rights League, held in New York City,
Sept 10, 1914, in the Address to the
Country, this was said:
I'VE advise Colored voters to look
into the records of every Congress-
man up for reelection, to make an is
sue of the color segregation practiced
by certain cabinet officers and en-
couched in bills already introduced
into Congress. Find out where each
candidate stands on these anti-Negro
bills and the anti-intermarriage bill
and act accordingly"

and calls upon the candidates for Con

their attitude.

What's In a Name?
(Richmond Planet, Richmond,

(Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va)
Mr.. R. H. Ball of Lawrence, Mass,
is bitterly opposed to the use of the
word NEGRO" in the designation of
citizens of color in the United States.
We have never been able to under
stand why such a name should have
been applied to us after residence
here dating back to the early settlers
of the country. We became more op-
posed to it when some of our enemies
proceeded to designate our women as
negresses. This tended to increase
our antagonism. It is but fair to say
that the Colored people themselves
have been largely responsible for the
use of the term. Thousands of us use
the term "nigger" in speaking to each
other and they do it in the presence
of white people. If Mr.. Ball in con
junction with ourselves, can stop this
practice, then it may be that change
may be effected.

THE BURDEN OF BEING White.
BY Ray Stannard Baker, in the Amert
can Magazine.

Oh, my friend, why will
men not see that there can be no true
civilization while any men in the
world are left out of it? and that no
race or no nation can go far forward
while other races and nations lag be-
hind?
Let the white person again tread
the black person under his heel! (Say!
which is trodden under heel after
all?)."
1t is not enough that we give the
alien nations our learning, our relig-
ion, our science. What signify all
these things? Are we hurt by giving
them? Are we not, on the contrary,
the material gamers? No, we must be
prepared to go further than that, else
we have not learned the fundamental
concept of religion.
1t is not the great task of any nation
that it shall remain pure, or white, or
learned, or that it shall assure to it's
posterity the possession Of land and
comfort Though this has been the be-
lief, and the doom, of every aristoc.
racy from the beginning of time). The
great task of every advanced race OF
nation is to bring more love-more
light-into the world.
A stand for racial aristocracy means
war, hatred, barren exclusiveness, anC
finally degeneration and failure; 9
stand for racial democracy and bro
therhood means love in the world
friendliness, sacrifice, new fertility. /:
wider sweep for faith, and final tri
umph. Individuals may suffer in tn,
process, nations may perish, but civ
ilization, the kingdom of humanity
will grow, will become more beautiful
