11NWARRANTED ARREST.

Last week one of our pool halls was
raided in search Of whisky. The OH
GERS claimed to have found one-half
pint in the owners private office desk,
upon which they arrested everybody
in the hall. Those playing pool or
sitting in there resting few minutes,
even those getting a shave in the bar
Der chair, some forty or fifty people,
were all taken to the police station,
and this at $3.50 o'clock in the after
noon, which is all uncalled for and
wrong. It is carrying this raiding
business too far among the colored
people. They would dare not go into
a white mans pool hall at that hour
and arrest everybody they happened
to find in there. The Bystander has
always stood and is for temperance,
morality and clean city, but unal-
terably opposed to this method of in
Justice to our business men. Our
BOYS are criticized if they stand on
the street corners or sidewalks. Then
when they so happened to be sitting
in first class place Of business quiet
" talking to arrest all of them is a
gross injustice and a monster in
equality. The chief of police and SUI
perintendent Of public safety must
bear this blame and will have to an
swer for this abuse Of Office.

prejudice is changing England. Be-
low we publish a London dispatch.
According to recent London dis
patch, James Slim, a Negro, native OF
Jamaica, West India island, has en-
listed as a private in the Coldstream
guards.
Before the war, the report says, it
would have been impossible for Ne
gro to join white regiment in Eng
land, let alone one of the proudest
and most famous Of the crack regi-
ments. The fact of Sims accept
ance is a strong indication Of the
democratic effects of the war.
Slim was in France when the war
broke and Joined the French foreign
legion. Wounded in battle, he was
sent to hospital, where he expressed
the wish to join Kitchener's new
army. Word was sent to Kitchener,
with the result that he was allowed
to enroll in the Coldstreams. Slim is
now March 29) training with the re-
serve battalion at Windsor.
In full knowledge of these things
the American Negro should hesitate
to go with prejudiced America against
Germany. For my part am not going
against Germany.
