BRITISH SEIZE PAPEN PAPERS.
Officials Strip Attache of Documents
as He Stops at Falmouth.

London-Capt. Franz Won Papen,
the recalled German military attache
at Washington, telegraphed from Fal,
mouth, where he arrived on the Moor
dam, to the American embassy here,
asking it to communicate with the
German ambassador in Washington to
protest to the State Department be-
cause the British authorities, he de-
clared, opened his private papers at
Falmouth. Capt. Won Papen in his
message claimed that personal letters
and bank books OF his were opened
and that some of these were retained
by the authorities
The British authorities who seized
Capt Won Papens correspondence at
Falmouth are not worried by possible
protests, as his safe conduct embraced
only the person of the German mill
tary attache.
Capt. Won Papen did not carry any
papers or correspondence from the
German embassy at Washington, but
he had large number of letters from
individuals for delivery in Germany.

In communication to the New
York World A. ]. Casserly of Jersey
City, N. j., writes as follows:
l read with considerable interest
your editorial Some Native Sons"
In these days of criticism of hyphen-
ated citizens your reference to a class
of citizens which is content to be
plain, pure, simple Americans, fur
nishes some food for serious thought.
You have rightly said that "one of
the strongest of their racial character
istics is devotion to country and
home" This virtue has been mani
fest long prior to and since the days
of Jethro of the land of INDIAN. His
tory reports the view that the black
man has always proven true to home
and country.
God forbid that the great mass of
American Negroes should boast I'M
seemly of our forefathers' devotion
and worth, or of their own. Pre-emi-
nently on the pages of history is en-
blaZoned the fact that in no crisis has
the black man been found wanting in
devotion to right or in seeking out
and supporting the truth as it was
given to him to know it.
Apropos of this discussion, it may

1921 Corporations Operate in State.

There were 1921 corporations in
business in Colorado in 1915 as shown
by records of license taxes paid in
the office of Secretary of State
Ramer. That is an increase of 1,044
corporations more than those paying
license taxes in 1911. The revenue in
the flat tax department from the H.
cense fees in 1915 was s44,56795 and
in 1914 1t was S39.S97.69 Two rea-
sons account for the increase-im-
proment in general business condi-
tons and a change made by the sec
rotary of state in handling flat taxes
Mr.. Ramer's position is that persons
and corporations doing business with
his office should be treated as
thoughtfully and carefully as if his Of
flee was purely business one Thus,
he has instituted a system of notify
ing corporations that their taxes are
due, giving amounts and sending
blank annual reports required. Under
the law, the secretary of state is not
required to notify the corporations
and no notice has been given them
heretofore. The result was many
companies overlooked the require
ments. Through tho new system all
corporations at slight expense are re-
minded of the requirements and many,
which otherwise would forget, quick
ly forward their reports and fees.

London, Jan. 6.-England faces
the greatest crisis since the opening
of the war.
The introduction of the compul-
sorry service bill has brought storm
about the heads of the Cabinet mem
bers. Added to the complications in
England comes the danger of re-
vival of the troubles in Ireland. Ire
land has been exempted from COM
pulsory service under the bill, and
John Redmond, Irish nationalist
. leader, has declared he will not sup
port any measure that savors of
CONSUMPTION.
On the other hand, the Ulster
delegates in Parliament have de-
manded that Ireland be included in
the measure. Nationalist leaders
point out that the sections of Ire
land outside of Ulster influence
have sent five men to war where
Ulster has sent one.
They regard the action of the
Ulster delegates as deliberate chal-
The Ulster members have adopted
a resolution, framed by Sir Edward

Majesty's subjects in the United

Speaking on the measure, John Red

AFRO-AMER|CAN CU[L|NCS

II he Booker Washington seemed
to underemphasize the difficulties
growing out of external political and
social restriction, it was rather due to
his unceasing cry that the kingdom
of power and wealth and dignity can
rest finally only on spiritual achieve
ment, self-control, foresight, thrift. the
practice of the common virtues. No
breaking out of the outer bonds can
alone free the spiritual slave. B..
No one could hear him with an open
mind, however, and fail to realize that
his message was equally applicable to
the white race. No one could fail to
realize that he saw the weakness Of
his white neighbors and felt the bit
terness of the political and social re-
strictions enforced by the whites.
Booker T. Washington was. how
ever, always more than Negro
nobly human within his race-and be-
cause of this, the simple people of his
own race, the honest-hearted of both
races, heard and followed. He had
many great human qualities of leader
ship, of organizing capacity, of ora
torical power, and of imagination. But
his contribution is richer because OF
gifts peculiar to his people, That rare
humor, the exquisite sense of anoth-
er's feeling that is the basis of social
power, rich vocabulary, high emotion
al appeal. American life would be so
enormously enriched If we thought in
terms of what colored people can do
instead of what they must be prevent.
ed from trying to do!
And so his contribution to the think
ing of the white South has not always
been clear. Though the least thought
full realized that he was not com
mon Niger" to be called Booker"
they did not always arrive at the
point of recognizing the dignity of the
man by calling him mister" but they
could find middle path by calling
him professor" For thousands of
white persons that short step is the
first advance in the direction of free
ing their own spirits. For, of course,
the race or caste feeling is band
tight about the spirits of the white
South, to many of whom Booker T.
Washington gave the first glimmering
sense of their own bondage.
For these, his service is incalculable,
one never to be measured, and to be
recognized only gradually and by rela-
lively few. And yet. as the nation
could not live half bond and half free
In the days of political slavery, so in
the days to come the spiritual bonds
of prejudice are to be broken from
the white South. as those to which he
called attention are to be stricken from

removed will either be wholly Free

Persons interested in the education

recently had an opportunity to see
being done in the way of training
colored boys and girls. The fourfold
exhibit was at the Miner Normal

grounds during the summer; added to
this were models showing dairy, water
supply, housekeeping and other meth

naming two phases were in one sense
not an exhibit of formal nature, be-
