tee, brought miniature pictures of
the most famous paintings of the
great artist which added much to
the interest of the study period in
art. The Philosoph cal review of

"A feature of unusual interest and

WAR With GERMANY

The dark ominous war clouds

possesses a silver lining' for the
Negro. More than ten and half
million Negroes are citizens of this
country, or about one-nineth of
the Nations population. This
large Integral par6 of the Nation
in many ways has been the victim
of gross injustice at hands of the
prevailing element of the country.
In case of war with Foreign
country this important part of the
Nations population would demand
consideration never heretofore
accorded. The great wealth of
Drawn and Muscle'' would find a
recognition in the labor markets
of the country not now accorded
the Negro from an industrial point
of view. His value as a soldier
would be much more appreciated
with no bills introduced in Con-
gress or anywhere else to preclude
his enlistment as defender of his
country. The urgent call for
American unity would cause many
to remove their tags of Race dis
elimination and forget their petty
jealousy and prejudice against
their fellow Americans when CON
fronted by a Foreign Foe. And
above all, this nation would be
brought to realize that There is
a destiny that shapes our ends,
rough hew them as we may" and
that Justice Between Man and Man
is the only foundation that any
Nation can safely build upon.
