THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie II. Burroughs.


Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part of
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about a reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro 10 by nature religious and
therefore moral He is both; but he
istnot enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from model for her

with contempt upon her and dis

ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman.
is combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her ,demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is a hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are therefore, TIE freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw match into a magazine of
powder
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers. and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young. .... ......

AUSTRIA LAGS
IN DUMBA CASE:
CRISIS NEARS
Reasonable Time" Past,
and Still No Reply or
Demand for Recall.

Washington. Sept. 26.-Oficials ad-
mtted tonight that the situation ere
ated between the United States and
Austria by the Dumba affair was as
suming serious proportions. The per-
sistent refusal Of the Auttrian govern
ment to return an answer to this gov
eminent already has made it necessary
for the State Department TO instruct
Ambassador Penheld 70 make inquiries
al the Foreign Office and ascertain the
Austrian attitude.
II Austria continues to ignore the de-
mands of the United States that Dr..
Dumba be recalled, and fails to give
Ambassador Penfeld any satisfaction,
1t will be necessary for the State De-
partment to resort TO summary action
in the matter. A reasonable time" IN
which to reply, officials say, has elapsed
since ,he american note was sent and
the next move OF this government, un-
less Austria answers, will De to hand
the Ambassador his passports.
This action would undoubtedly bring
about a crisis in the relations between
the two governments and might result
in a severance of diplomatic relations.
The State Department has been in
formed that another note from Austria
ON the subject OF munitions shipments
is on the way, but no intimation has
come as 10 the argument that Will be
presented. The news came as sur
prise TO officials, who had supposed
that Austria would drop the case after
the American note Of August Y, in
which the complaints of Vienna were
fatty turned down.
There is general belief that Aus
tria is sending the present note TO
strengthen the Dumba case, and 10 IN.
dictate its approval Of the activities OF
its Ambassador in attempting TO pre-.
vent the manufacture and shipment OF
munitions. The publication OF cley-
erly worded plea in this country would
certainly have the effect, it is pointed
out, OF enlisting the sympathy OF many
people for DR.. Dumba's propaganda,
and some officials say the note is IN
doubtedly designed TO serve that pur-
pose.
There cannot be the slightest hope
in Vienna that arms shipments to the
Allies will be prohibited by the United
States. The State Department may
elect not TO answer the. new note, or
may send perfunctory reply, indicat-
ing that the points were covered IN the
note Of August y.

bargain under these conditions his pro
posal will at once be rejected.
The ambassador understands per
fectly the administration attitude, but
officials doubt whether he has been able
to make il clear 10 Berlin. 1t is com
monty known that he has made repeated
efforts to convince the Foreign Office
that no compromise would be accepted,
but apparently they have been unsuc-
eessful.
The chief obstacle in the way of a
prompt settlement, officials say, is that
Germany has totally different con-
ception of diplomacy than the United
States. Germany views the problem as
a practical one, while President Wilson
has taken the ground of an ideaist.
All through the submarine contro-
versy Germany has made offers to the
United States, totally unacceptable, but
apparently made in good faith and in
the belief that they offered practical
solution. The proposal of sacred
fleet upon which Americans might
travel with impunity was one Of these.
The German idea was that the admins
tration was only contending for safe
transatlantic passage OF its citizens.
Another example was the offer to spare
liners ignoring the fact that this
government refused to see any differ
ence in principle between torpedoing
passenger ships and cargo boats.
The offer 10 guarantee the safety of
Americans, provided Great Britain
abandons the encouragement of mer-
chant vessels 10 ram submarines, will
thus meet the same fate as Germany 5
other practical" solutions. Count Won
Bernstorf is aware Of this, and officials
believe he has persuaded his govern
ment that further concessions" will be
necessary. The proposal to base guar
antees on Great Britain's revocation OF
the raW-nng order is therefore not be
lieved TO be the last word.
The intention Of the administration
20 make the Arabic case the supreme
test of German good faith leads TO the
belief among officials that an amicable
understanding will be reached when
Secretary Lansing and Count Won
Bernstorf again get together. Germany
has already indicated that friendly re-
lations with the United States are of
greater Importance than Illegal subma-
rne operations, and officials are con-
WINGED that as soon as she learns this
governments minimum terms she will
meet them.

SHIP BRINGS MORE
DUMBA LETTERS
Ambassadors Documents
Said To Be in Mail Bag
on the CVmric.

When the White Star liner Cymric
arrived here yesterday from Liverpool
it was learned that German submarine
commanders had made a desperate but
vain effort TO send her to the bottom
on her last eastward passage, as she
carried in her hold the biggest cargo
of ammunition that has ever been
shipped from this port to England.
In the vessels strong room yesterday
was a special mail bag from the Ameri-
can Embassy, which was said 10 con-
tain more letters and documents Of
Ambassador Dumba which were seized
by the British from the effects of James
F. j. Archibald, his american messen-
ger. Also in the bag, it is said, were
fragments Of "a German torpedo that
were found on the Hesperian after the
missile had struck her.
The Cymric on her last trip east was
a marked ship. Information of her
enormous and deadly cargo had been
sent TO Germany before she sailed, and
in trying to get her, il is said, the sub
marine commanders sank the Allan Line
steamship Hesperian.
Believe Mistake Was Made.
The latter vessel was not a decoy
but. it was said aboard the Cymric, that
if she had not been in the neighborhood
of the Cymrc, an infinite y greater
prize might have been sighted and sunk.
There is no marked similarity be-
tween the Hesperian and the Cymric
but, as the former was attacked at
night, it is believed that the submarine
mistook her for the big ammunition
carrier il had been instructed 10 sink
Some idea of the nature OF the Gym
RIGS cargo is given in the description
of one case OF twelve empty shells
which in themselves weighed one ton.
While the undersea fighter was at
lacking the Hesperian. The Cymr.c was
steaming eastward on an irregular
course about 100 miles west OF the
Fastnet, awaiting a cruiser and two de-
stroyers that had been dispatched to
her and subsequently conveyed her to
the Mersey.
The Cymric brought more than $50
negro horsemen, who had sailed from
Newport News in charge of mules and
horses on the Allan Line steamship
Winifredan.
Court Martial for Mule Tenders.
Their leader, Roland SpeerS organ
lied d sort Of martial law among his
men, "to preserve" as he said, order

Several court martial" trials were
held. and the offenders were punished
by fogging with d stout leather artil-
lery trace.
After taking the Cymric to Liverpool,
Captain Beadnell went 10 the yards of
Harland & Wolff, at Belfast. and took
the White Star liner Olympic to South
