danger of being blown to pieces by its
own bomb.
However, the commander boldly

of the searchlights and pelted with
bullets he hacked away the tube and
its projectile. only just in time. The
bomb exploded 300 feet below.
The dirigible was tossed in all di.
rections, but got away safely, and its
purpose was fully accomplished.

KING ALBERT Gigs TREHCH

Paris.--In connection with the win
try weather now prevailing in Elan
ders, the following story comes
through from Furnes:
Despite the cold King Albert spent
all of Sunday In the trenches. He
met some soldiers who had thrown
down their spades and were warming
their hands at fire. The king paused
and remarked pleasantly that the
weather was unusually severe The
half-frozen soldiers, recognizing their
monarch, were so overcome they could
hardly speak. King Albert then turned
to his staff, saying:
Gentlemen, | suggest that we re-
3ieve these fine fellows and give them
q chance to get warm
with that the king seized shovel
and set to work vigorously About
half dozen officers Of the kings suite

Paris.--Gerran spies have been
traced to the most unlikely places. In
Lorraine the enemy used a lunatic
asylum as regular spy depot. All
the doctors and most OF the ordinary
attendants deserted the institution
with the approach of the French army.
Their places were taken by spies.
Fighting proceeded around the place
several days. and by the clever use Of
Red Cross flags the spies were able to
direct the German artillery fire with
deadly effect. Fifteen wero executed

STAR CONDEMNS ACTION.

We were amazed, yea aStounded,
when we were requested to print an
article inserted elsewhere in this pa
per, and more SO, we were bewildered
when We saw the names of three peo-
pie (whose judgment, respect and in
tegrity we esteem most highly) signed
to the notice. We can be safe in say
ing (and we only dare presume this
from our long acquaintance with
these people, that these people are
mistaken or being misled. Think of
the legislature according to the Negro
along with others certain public rights
and now think of the Negro himself
laying down and saying | won't re-
sist; l won't complain; I'll acquiesce,
that a prejudiced citizen might carry
out his Unjust whims and caprices
and that a degrading sign, as much
reflective upon his ignorance as it at
tempts to injure, degrade, humiliate
and discourage the Negro. Don't they
see if we yield this point we must
yield others, and finally We will yield
ourselves up for the sake of peace.
The Star feels humiliated to publish
that notice and did it with silent pro-
test. The Star stands for a manhood
that means to contend with all of our
might for our rights, whether we are
popular or unpopular. The Negro
CAN NEVER gain by GIVING UP HIS
RIGHTS; only by ADDITION TO or
MULTIPLYING do we INCREASE our
CHANCES. Is this laying a founda-
tion to repeal our civil rights law or
introduce another Jim Crow bill in
the coming legislature?
What right or privilege does the
Paris give up? Who has any author
ity to speak for the 10000 Negroes in
this state? No, Mr. Paris theatre
man, uncover your sign. Sooner or
later you will reap what you have
sown and in the meantime the Denver
and Colorado Negro will bide their
time with patience. Man only loses
when he gives up voluntarily.

ACETATE, ORGANIZE, ACT FOR
MISREPRESENTATION.

The colored people of the United
States are face to face with deter
mined effort by certain Southern Dem
ocrats to subject them to segregation
under the federal government at the
national capital. They are purposely
trying to put the stamp of approval
of the national government on this
most degrading of race discrimina-
tions to natlonalize it. They seek to
do this now, when the national Demo-
cratic party is in control Of the execu-
tive and of both branches of the legis-
lative branch of the federal govern
ment. Only tremendous campaign
against this will avail to defeat this
nefarious purpose. The foundation
and backbone of this campaign must
be the colored people themselves.
They must appeal and petition and
protest to the president and members
of congress. They must agitate and
arouse the latent sense OF justice and
respect for free institutions in the
white people of America. They must
begin to do this at once. This can be
done only by very great number OF
individual colored Americans acting
along these lines. In addition there
must be agitation and action by or
ganizations Of colored people In every
or nearly every state in the Union.
One has only to be at the national
capital and see what is going on to be
convinced of this. 1t is not a party
fight, it is a racial fight, and partisan
lines should be ignored. The danger
is through the federal government and
we are all citizens of it and should all
exert pressure upon the federal gov
ernment, both direct and through 9TH
ers. We appeal to the race to realize
the danger and to exert their powers
as citizens at once and as never be-
fore. We can win if we will work

A SOUTHERN QUESTION.

DO you know" asks the University
club of Atlanta, that the per cent o.
illiteracy among white children o.
school age has increased during the
last five years in 81 counties of Geor
gia-more than one-third of all the
counties in the state? Do you realize
that Georgia is one of the most back
ward states in education-that oul
mental development is not keeping
pace with our wealth."
We know and have been glad to dis
cuss a great many things about Geor
gia and other Southern states-the ex
traordinary advances in agriculture
manufactures, banking and what not
and the material opportunities those
states now offer energetic settlers
but the question propounded by the
University club is as important as all
those other things.
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisi-
ana and Mississippi have almost the
same number of white children of
school age as Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire and
Vermont, besides nearly equal num-
Der of colored children of school age;
but the Southern states spend less
than half as much as the Northern on
public schools.
Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota have
only 10 per cent. more white children
of school age than the five Southern
states, but they spend thirty-seven
million dollars year on public schools
as against seventeen million dollars
in the first-named states. California
alone, with only third as many white
children of school age as these five
Southern states, spends as much for
teachers salaries in the public schools
as they do.
In this important matter Southern
enterprise lags.- Saturday Evening
