WAR ECHOES
Assuming

Louisville Courier-Journal: Assurninr z
 that the Lusitana's hull will never he ex-
 amined to ascertain the extent of the
 damage inflicted by the torpedo. the truth
 as to whether she was struck once or
 more than once will never be known. The official report-from the captain of the submarine-or what is given out by the censor at Berlin, who gives out noth- ing but what the imperial government de- sires to see in print, is that only one tor
 pedo was fired and that after it pierced
 the vessels side below the captains
 bridge an explosion occurred, presumably
 an explosion of ammunition.
 Nothing in the course of the war has
 been impressed more deeply and repeat
 edly than that censored dispatches are edited In the interest of the country whose censor handles them, and that censors are
 just as fond of interpolation as of elmi-
 nation. The world will never know wha. the captain of the submarine reported. The official report of his report may have
 been doctored to match the opinions of German naval experts that the Lusitania could not have been sunk by a torpedo so quickly as to prevent those aboard from taking to the boats and escaping In the absence of any good reason for believing that any official news from any country involved in the war, is true it is a safe rule to put down what is pub lished as being nothing more than what
 the publishers would like the world to believe.
 ! Springfield Republicans: Of course the
 war is having a marked effect upon news
 papers the world over. Such a disorgani-
 zation of normal conditions,does not make for the financial gain of the press. It ap- pears that the Associated Press has been spending close to s14O0 a day covering the field of the European war. It is not to the profit of the cheaper newspapers when the war increases their circulatlons and adver- Using falls below the normal That there ton of London daily papers does not spell profit. The early fear of Fleet street that paper might become scarce has not been realized. The increase of price by perhaps 20 per cent has been due to the increase in freight rates rather than to a shortened supply. As was to have been expected, the established illustrated London week | lies, like the Graphic and Illustrated News, have experienced an extraordinary | lift, in cases doubling their circulations.
 These sheets are probably making money.

The memorial services held last
Sunday afternoon for the memory OF
Mr.. and Mrs Richard Clark at the
church which bears their name
North Oakland) was well attended
and very impressive. Many beautiful
tributes were paid them by Mr.. Edwin
Sterne, F. H. Bolmer, Mrs. A. Craw
and Rev. l.. A. Brown and Dr. G. e.
Coleman. The choir sang sweetly
and Miss Phillis Thomas rendered a
very pathetic solo Miss Ceolya w.
Grandson, who did not arrive in time,
read the following paper at the even
ing service:
Man is a reed, the frailest in ma
ture. but he is reed that thinks. 1t
needs not that the whole universe
should arm itself TO crush hirn-a va
por, drop Of water will suffice to de-
stroy him. But should the universe
crush him, man would yet be nobler
than that which destroys him; for he
knows tIraut dies, while of the ad-
vantage which the universe has over
him. the I universe knows nothing.
Life is a journey, the end is nearing,
lit is a race, the goal will soon be
reached. 1t is a voyage, the port will
soon betin sight Time is but a mar
row isthmus between two eternities.
You are going surely. How many
things you have already left behind
the old home, friends, parents, scenes
Of childhood and early years. How
much OF the way you have passed
over. You will never return to places
from which you started. You are GO

our work will be done, and that we
shall leave this stage of being-leave
it forever, our homes and cares and
all the interests that engage us here,
and never more come back 1t is an
amazing thought that we, if we are
Christians, will soon reach our goal.
1t will be like coming into port after
an ocean voyage. The shining shore
line, how it grows on the waiting eye.
The JOY will be like that with which
the Crusaders first saw Jerusalem.
There have been human hearts con-
stituted just like ours for six thou
sand years. The same stars rise and
set upon this globe that rose upon
the plain of Shinar or along the
Egyptian Nile; and the same sorrows
rise and set in every age. All that
sickness can do. all that disappoint-
ment can effect, all that blighted love,
disappointed ambition, thwarted hope,
ever did they do still Not tear is
wrung from eyes now that, for the
same reason, has not been wept over
and over again in long succession
since the hour the fatal pair stepped
from Paradise and gave their poster
ity to world Of sorrow and suffer
ing
The head learns new things; but
the heart forever more practices old
experiences; therefore our life is but
a new form Of the way men lived
from the beginning.
Life bears us on like the stream of
a mighty river. Our boat at first
glides down the narrow channel,
through the playful murmuring of the
little brook and the winding of its
grassy borders. The trees shed their
blossoms over young heads We are
happy in hope and we grasp eagerly

The following are some OF th
principles for which the Colored Cit
izens Protective Association, an or
ganization of colored men and womer
recently organized for the civic pro
lection and betterment of their citi
zenry of San Francisco, stand for:
The principles we stand for and ad-
vocate in season and out of season:
We believe that humanity is unit
and we advocate the cause of right
and justice for all sorts and condi-
tions of people, women, children and
men.
We believe in an Almighty God and
we are unalterably opposed to the
sovereign will and power vested in
one human being, man or woman.
We believe in inspired and divine
race leadership and we are uncompro-
misingly opposed to specially hired
or charitably bribed leadership for
this reason: any man who can be spe-
cially hired and privately paid to lead
the people can be bribed to mislead
the people.
We believe that colored men in all
parts of the republic should vote and
be allied with any political party they
desire, and we strongly advocate TAX
ing an active part in politics and vot-
ing at all elections.
We believe in broad franchise for
women and men, and we advocate the
same qualification for both, because
it is just, right and fair and will work
for the success of human progress and
good government.
The object of the Colored Citizens
Protective association is: To seek the
truth by turning the searchlight on in
dark places; to oppose false teachings

who pose as race leaders of their peo-

seek jobs for colored men in Sar

fremen, street sweepers and other po-
sitions; to look after the interest and
have the rights of the people defend
ed in the courts of law; to expose
the facts concerning fake white and
scolored so called reformers.
We appeal to the women and men
to join us in crusade to change pub
lie opinion which at present is so
much against colored people. Let
us oppose the leadership of all spe-
cially paid leadership. We can abol-
ish them.
