The way to deal with race preju-

is surprising how often prejudice fades
away in a given situation when it finds
itself wholly blocked. 1t is even more
surprising how frequently it is merely
a state of wind. Often there is no
objection whatever to the presence
of colored people on the most familiar
terms, provided their position is clear
ly stamped as mental; let them sud
denly aspire to equal privileges, and
those same people become at once too
offensive to be permitted to breathe
the same atmosphere. The situation
in Washington would be restored in a
twinkling to the old and absolutely
satisfactory status if the highest
authority were simply to lay down the
law that there was going to be
square deal for everybody in the de-
partments without the slightest dis
elimination; that there can be only
one class of public servants-all to be
treated with courtesy, consideration.

 on Dismissed Employe.

Memphis, Tenn. Sept. 25.-The mystery surrounding the murder of Marguerite Faver and J. c. Crowall was given new turn today when Memphis detectives learned that a former employe of Crowell had threatened the life of the Greenwood business man previous to the discoy- cry of the murder.

The slain man is also reported to have told br. Frank Smith of Greenwood that he feared this former employe. The name of the man is being closely guarded by ths Memphis police.

Anti War Party.

Berlin, Jan. II (Wireless via Say
ville)-The resignation of Count Won
Berchtold and the terms in which
that resignation are announced in Ber-
lin are the strongest evidence that
has yet come out of Germany or
Austria of the truth of the reports
that a strong anti-war party is mak-
ing itself felt in Austro Hungary.
So far as appears on the surface
Count Won Berchtold, more than anv
other man in Europe, was responsible
for the present world war. He it was
who sent the ultimatum to Servia
that precipitated the crisis which has
drawn ten Independent powers into
war and has already resulted in the
utter devastation of Poland and Bel
gium.
Won Berchtold in the popular Aus
trian mind stood for the war. Hi
policy of "blood and IRON was often
compared to that of Bismarck, and he
was indeed frequently referred to as
"the Bismarck of Austria" He was
credited with extraordinary power
over the aged emperor and when the
war began to go badly for the Aus
trian arms popular resentment was
manifested against the man who pre-
sumably had brought the war about.
AS early as last November rumors
reached the outer world by way of
Rome that Won Berchtold would be
forced to resign. These rumors were,
OF course, denied. The statement is
sued in Berlin today, however, that
the emperor had agreed to the re-
newed demand" for the resignation of
the minister of foreign affairs leaves
room for the assumption that the res
ignation was forced by popular
clamor.
The announcement that the resig-
nation was rendered for important
personal reasons" and the official ad-
dition that "the change came unex-
pectedly," do not detract from the
probability that a serious crisis has
arisen in the Austro- Hungarian en-
pire.
