GERMANS KEEP up

British Rally After Reverse and
Gain Lest Ground

Spirited contests are in progress in
the western war zone, the Germans
having made attacks in force at La
Bassee and along the coast.
The French assert that the battle
at La Bassee has not resulted in a
change of positions, while along the
coast the German attack is directed
at the recovery of the great dune"

possession of the allies.
The official statement of the French
war office states that the Germans
launched a fierce assault against the
British lines at Guinchy, near La
Bassee, but the British rallied and in
counter attacks not only regained all
the ground they had lost, but took
some German trenches in addition.
The German war Office, on the other
hand, declares that the Paris state.

destroying every village they aban.

with them and driving away the wo.

continue to arrive, in a lamentable
state, at Basel and other points on
the Swiss f:ontier.
"Thann is in flames, and even the
deep snow has not prevented its be.

bombardments. Cernay is practically
destroyed and the fighting around the
town continues.
"The artillery battle for the pos

violent every day. The guns are buried |
under the snow on both sides to pre-
vent their location by aeroplanes. The

been ordered to leave"

GIVE YOUR SUPPORT TO A. N. A..
A. C. p.

We are authentically informed that
an effort is on foot to organize a
branch in this city of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People. We ask and urge
for these promoters the earnest sup
port OF the citizens of Denver. The
good work being done by these
branch organizations throughout the
country along social, educational, re-
ligious and civic lines, is inestimable.
They are growing In interest and
strength and are a source of racial
benefit wherever organized
They are by no means hindrance
to any other organization seeking
also to elevate the status OF the race,
however small the community, but on
the contrary are decided help. Prob
lens of racial prejudices. injustices
and determinations are looked after
and adjusted in a peaceful and law
abiding manner and our down-trod-
den race is lifted to a higher plane
in the minds of some of the white
race who never in any way come in
contact with the best element, the in
tellectual and moral class of our race.
They judge all by the few they see
loafing around on the street corners.
1t is unfair and unfortunate. but it is
true. The crimes of other races are
not held up and made barrier to the
progress Of the rest of the race. but
it is true of ours. Hence our fight is
greater. bitterer and of longer dura-
ton. Some of the unfairness Is due
to a lack of knowledge of the quail
ties which our race possess and how
favorably we compare with the best
in the white race. The prejudiced
mind sees only the bad element. Let
US have n. A. A. c. P. branch. Give
your support, your money. your time
and whatever else Is needed to carry
on this good work Encourage the
young men who are putting forth
their efforts for strong organiza-
ton. Talk it up. preach it up. and
success will follow your efforts.
