The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-09-16

The Negro population of Detroit
has increased nearly $50 per cen dur
Ing the last six years, according to
estimates made by the Associated
Charities. The Negro population now
is fixed at about $1,000, as compared
with 5000 shown by the federal cen
sus in 1910.
The heavy increase is accounted for
by the fact hat a number of local in.
dustrial concerns are importing Ne
groes from the South in carload lots
for work in local factories. Factory
manager declare the Southern Negro,
when properly trained, is a good work
man, reliable and willing.

that-with the reflective editorial at
titude that should characterize n
monthly publication.
While the advertising in the first
number is from Chicago firms, the
magazine aims to be national in char
acter. 1t will be independent in poll
tics.
While the general public is apt to
concede that the Negro may excel as
a musician, while artistic ability in
other avenues is often conceded to
him, he has probably not achieved as
yet a reputation, to a wide extent, at
any rate, of being formidable in ath-
letics. 1t is interesting to note.

The general life of a nation such
as America, composed of MANY
groups and interests in complicated
alignments and opposition, can only
be successful when each of those
groups is fully self-consciOus. When
every group knows both its capabili-
ties and its rights, uses the former
and insists upon the latter, then we
shall have a nation that is both pro-
pressive and civilized and free from
slavery.
We are far from that now, but
with every new organization of self
expression on the part of a group
we come nearer to it. One such ex-
preston that may play an important
part in civilizing our life is the Cham
pion Magazine, of which the first num-
Der has just been issued. This maya
zine, edited by the %well-known Negro
poet, Fenton Johnson, having as ASSOC
ciate editors Emory Elrage Scott
Binga DESMOND and Inez Cantey, is
devoted to the service of the Negro
race, and apparently aims to cover
every feature of Negro activity-busi-
ness, literary, artistic and athletic

Germans Counter On Russians.

Berlin, June 23, via London, June A, 8:3O a. m.-The German counter attack against the Russians under General Brussiloff in Volhynia has now developed over a front of so miles ex- tending from Kolki on the Styr river almost to the Galician frontier. Gen eral Won Linsingen's forces have en- veloped the Russians, who here had driven a big bend into the Austro- German lines, in front and on both Hanks, and now, according to all re- ports reaching here, are slowly but surely pressing the Russians back all along the line in the general direction of Lutsk.
 Although considerably reinforced Von Linsingen is confronted here by highly superior mum bers, which, how ever. have been unable to check his steam roller again in the direction of coveted Kovel and Vladimir Volynski. The Russian losses here are described as enormous. Russian officers time e and again led their men in desperate but fruitless charges against the Ger man lines.
 The country covered by these en- agreements Is extremely difficult, i'm peded by woods and swamps, and much of the fighting, therefore, has been at close quarters.

MILITARY CRISIS
 S7UMPS JOHN D.
Doesn't Know Whether to Quit
 Congress or the Army
Especial to the Herald.)


 Washington, June 24.-ReDresenta tive John Q. Tilson of Conn.,, lieu tenant-colonel in the national guard of that state. has not decided exactly what course it will be necessary for him and other soldier congressman to pursue in regard to the calling out of the militia to do patrol duty at the border. Colonel Tilson would like to go with the troops to the border, but would, of course, dislike to resign from congress to do so, which seems the only way under the Constitution by which he could remain with his regiment.
 As long as the militia remain only state troops the status of MT. Tilson and the other soldier congressman is simple, but the moment the militia are mustered in as troops of the United States Colonel Tilson and the others in the same predicament would run foul of the Constitutional pro- vision which provides that no man may hold any office under the United States and at the same time hold the office of senator or representative in congress.
 T want to go with my regim said Congressman Tilson this morning "and I shall certainly go if I can do so without resigning from congress. As a, member of the Committee on Military Affairs, however, I feel that my resignation from congress is too serious a step to take at this time, when it is still doubtful just how ser ious our difficulties with Mexico will be. The course that I shall probably pursue is to be placed on the reserve list, so that in case the matter be- comes serious-a real war, in fact I shall be in a position to enter the army again with my present rank even though I have to sacrifice my place in congress to do so. For the present, however, think my work on the committee on Military Affairs will be even more important than that with my regiment and I shall remain here until I see how the situation shapes itself. If the war becomes ser ious, we shall certainly need officers as well as men. and as an officer on the reserve list I shall be prepared to go in whenever it becomes appar ent that we need more men.
 Tt Is unfortunate 1t seems to me that there Is such @ provision In the Constitution as that which prevents m em bers of congress from serving in the army. It Is there, however, and l fear 1t Is something that even con- gross cannot correct"

Unsurpassed In Fury.

Paris Jung 24, 5:45 a. m.-Late de- taiis show that yesterdays fighting near Verciun equalled in fury every thing yet experienced. The total German forces engaged on a two mile front arc estimated as between four and five divisions. It was only by the fast overwhelming rush, when the defenders were worn out and thinned tho enemy succeeded in rushing the vanced trenches.
 The Thiaumont fortifcation covers The approaches to Fleury anI the enemy hoped to continue the charge and sweep away the defenders of\the latter place; but the French counter attacked with such vigor that he was able only to cling to the positions fi1s gained, which he was busily engaged in strengthening all night in prepara- ton for fresh attempts to push his advantage.
 Commentators in the morning pa pers freely admit that the Germans scored a success, but point out that his success cost more than it was worth, the euemy's losses being pla ccd at from 40 to 50 per cent. of the ef- fectives engaged.
 The Germans have captured the NThiaumont work after three weeks Of effort, but the French advanced line still holds good possessing the greater part of Hills 320 and 321. These fresh strokes of the German battering ram are regarded in authoritative

 Thinks America Unprcpared.

The press makes no mention of Mexican assertions that munitions are procurable in Japan, but the Nichi Nichi Shimbun publishes a report from Berlin that Japan is giving sup rort to Mexico. The opinion set forth in the press is that the United States is too optimistic regarding Mexico and is insuff1ciently prepared to meet
