Sanford Beard, we'll known Cor
dele negro, who like other deluded ne
groes sold his property and put out
for the Land of Promise" in search
of the ''gold at the end of the rain
bow" some months ago, has express
ed his home loving sentiments in no
uncertain terms. It's half chance
to return that Sanford is in search OF,
for he has found that the Land Of
Promise" is a place none too good to
his liking and where the promises OF
the labor agents are never fulfilled.
Sanford writes former Cashier J. NJ
Hunt tits president now of the Clt1-
zens bank for the third time, implor-
ing in all the terms of eloquence that
he can appropriate to- send him some
money so he can come back to Dear
Old Georgia" among real friends who
know and understand him. He wants
to be away from the hardships, severe
cold and sickness among the negroes
who emigrated from southern states
to work on railroads, in iron works,
etc, and from the persistency and tone
of his words if he thought praying
would de any good he would pray un-
ceasingly that he might return to Cor
dele.
The Dispatch published a story
some time ago reproducing Sanford's
first letter. A northern negro publica-
ton got hold of this item, and warped
and distorted the truth Of The Dis
patch's statement to make it appear
that Sanford really considered himself

But the fact remains that Sanford
knows that he is being treated with

Here's his last letter, pleading for
money on which to return home:

Up to now German business has

although all except munitions
makers are sick of the war. They
protested against ruthless subma-
rine warfare through Herr Bal
Inns famous statement calling
Hindenburg the wooden jackass
of Berlin" because it meant the
United States would seize more
than $4,000 tons of their mer-
chant ships and completed the
consolidation of the world boycott
against German commerce after
the war.
But they stuck to the linden
burg party because trade thru
neutrals enabled them TO continue
profit-making.
They also stuck because, with
the allies planning an economic
war after the war" the only hope
of German commercial ascendency
lay in a Hindenburg peace won by
German arms.
Now comes Uncle Sam with an
iron hand cutting off the neutral
trade. German exchange has been
smashed down six points since the
embargo policy began, and is

marks to buy Sc worth of neutral
goods.
Worse, the value Of the mark
has been kept from dropping far
more only by enormous German
gold shipments to neutrals. The
Reichsbank today holds only $40
worth of gold for every 800
worth Of notes, as against 500
gold when war began-in spite OF
the Communicating of jewelry and
plate to support the dwindling re-
serves.
The German merchant and
banker sees money he loaned when
notes were supported by 80 per
cent gold will be paid with notes
supported by only 20 per cent gold
and that his imperial war bonds
have only 20 per cent real value
behind them. He knows with the
necessity of exporting more gold
this fraction Of real value must go
down, just as confederate money
deprecated to zero after the fed
eral blockade became alright.
Thus German business and
finance are being forced into GER
tain bankruptcy and the only way
out is early peace, that will re-
esta blish commerce.
That is how Uncle Sans en-
barge puts the kibosh on the great
Hindenburg peace Huston. Ger
man merchants may be optimistic
enough to believe that linden
burg can give them peace in Is
but the American en-
barge policy demands peace NOW,
If German business Is to be saved.
ElOOdless Victory
Peace now can be obtained only
thru the concessions and nego-
tiations advocated by the anti
Hindenburg parties, and into this
group the national liberals - the
party OF German big business =
must merge sooner or later.
1t may therefore be predicted
that it will not be long until agon-
lied cries for peace on almost any
terms begin to emanate from Herr
BALM and the other Spokesman of
German commerce and finance.
This will be the first victory
achieved by American forces, and
It will be a great and bloodless
one.
