MOSES e, ClAPP.

It is refreshing to note what the
Easter number of the Crisis has to
say of him:
"The term of Moses E. Clapp, United
States Senator from Minnesota, ex-
pires on March 14th, 1917. Already
his enemies are laying plans to defeat
him for denomination and reelection.
with one possible exception, Senator
Clapp is the only member of the Sen
ate who can be absolutely relied on
to support every measure in the inter-
ests of colored people, and to fight
prejudice and injustices without ces.
sation.
HE has never failed us on single
occasion. Whenever this association
wants something done for colored
people we write to him. We have
never asked him to speak at a mass
meeting, to write letter to some high
| official, to introduce good bill or
| fight bad one, and received a refusal
from him. He has fought anti-inter
marriage bills, tooth and nail. He
fought for favorable amendments tc
the Smith-Lever and other unfair bills
1t was he who induced the Secretary
OF War to send an official representa-
tive of the War. Department to oul
Spingarn Medal meeting in Boston.
I'VE do not know if he desires re
election. But if he does, every colorec
man and woman, every friend of thu
Negro, every lover of justice and fair
play should rally to his support. Ant
if he does not, we should all do ou]
best to persuade him to alter his mind
For we need him just where he is

New York, May S.-Herbert Hoover,
chairman of the commission for relief in
Belgium, in a report made public today
in New York states that suffering is very
acute In the captured portion of northern
France because of the food shortage, and
appeals for more funds. Mr.. Hoover re-
Ealenciennes and Roubaix, a territory
comprising 1,25O,0Oo people He found the
meat shops closed, the dealers selling
dog meat and the soup shops unable to
operate because of the shortage In Lille,
Mr.. Hoover said the death rate had
doubled in the last month and showed no
signs of decreasing. Prices for food had
become prohibtive, he said. Mr.. Hoover
declared that the commission was doing
its utmost to alleviate conditions, but 1t
was handicapped because of lack of funds
and supplies. He said that there were no
leak in the distribution and the Ameri-
can district managers had so systema-
tized their service that the sufferers were
sure to receive the supplies intended for
them
In closing his appeal Mr.. Hoover said:
Il feel my entire inability to draw an
adequate picture of the unutterable de-
spair of these people. The c. r. B. is
the only link to their kindred and their
allies and we thus the only mouth

on the second and third floors and they
have packed their personal effects
ready to move.

IRISH QUESTION
AGAIN COMES UP
|N.PARL lament
John Redmond Tells Premier AS
quith that Continued Military
Executions Are Causing Bit
terness with Loyal Element

London, May S-The Irish question was
again raised in the House of Commons
today by Laurence Ginnell, Nationalist,
who attacked the government last week
on account of the putting to death of
leaders Of the Dublin uprising. In re
Spouse to a question from Mr.. Gnnell,
Premier Asquitk said he could not give
an undertaking that no more men would
be put to death before opportunity was
given for a discussion of the matter in
the House of Commons. On receiving
this reply Mr.. Ginnell shouted: Murder.
Murder.''
John Redmond. the Irish leader. put Il
question to Mr.. Asquith in which he sug-
gested that the continuance of military
executions in Ireland was causing rapid
ly increasing bitterness among a section
of the population which had no sympathy
with the insurrecton. He asked wheth-
er. following the precedent set by Cen
eral Botha in South Africa. the premier
would cause a stop to be put to eXecu-
lions.
first Mr.. Redmond had been urging upon
the government arguments which had not
fallen upon unwilling ears in favor of
clemency for the rank and file. Mr.. AS
quith had to say that General Maxwell
had been in direct personal communica-
ton with the cabinet on the subject. He
had great confidence, the premier said.
in the generals discretion. General Max
wells instructions. which conformed to
his own judgment, were to sanction the
infection of the extreme penalty as spar
ingly as possible and only in the case of
responsible persons guilty in the first de-
gree.
Mr.. Asquith said no one was more
anxious than the members of the gov
eminent or General Maxwell himself that
these cases should be confined within the
narrowest limits and that executions
should cease as soon as possible. The
course to be adopted with regard to the
rank and file was being considered anx-
iously by the cabinet. Steps had been
initiated to ascertain whether govern
ment officials were implicated.
