The Colored Brother in KHAKI

Southern States have protest
ed against the training OF colored
men for military duty within
their limits. The protest is not
made on any other ground than
expediency. More outbreaks such
as that at Houston are feared.
Our troops must be trained quick
~. There is no time now to argue
about the right Of the United
States Government to train them
in any State. That right is indis-
putable. But time is precious and
the inevitable results of the ILL.
feeling caused by the spectacle
OF armed negroes in the South
should be avoided. The WORK in
hand. the Importance OF which
overShadows all other work. is to
get our troops ready for war
service. With the imperative
necessity of avoiding undue de-
lay, it will be wise for the War
Department to arrange for the
training of all the colored troops
in the Northern States. New
York Times.
So say we all.

The Passing of independence
SO say we all.

The world has been divided by
the divine and unerring hand of
nature into peoples who speak
different tongues, profess diff
ferent religions. the blood in
whose veins comes from diff
ferent sources: who dwell under
different suns and till different
soils. Now the German soldiers
in his Pickelhaube and the Ger
man professor in his spectacle
come along and declare Ger
many is wiser and more pow
erful than Nature. Nature de-
liberately created diversity: the
Germans will substitute uniform
ity ana this uniformity means that
every race, creed and nation shall
all be put into the German mold.
Nations and individuals must
be free to work out their own
salvation in their own way.
since the contribution and vir-
ture Of one man. of one people.
must differ from that of another
man, of another people.
But the day of independence
has gone by: the day of interde-
pendenee is here. Democracy is
iaterdependence. And this in
terdependenee, the realization
of the essential brotherhood of
the world, of the common wei
fare of the people of England
the people of Ireland. the people
of America and France and Rus
sia--yes. and of Germany has
come to be the greatest reveal
ton brought about by the war.
Actual. material steps of necessi-
ty have been taken to establish
this interdependence steps that
mean the death of privilege. of
government by classes for the
benefit of classes. But along

tons and groups and indivi-

JAPAN SCHEMES FOR
 CONTROL CHINA RVS.

Correspondence Associated press)
 Peking, Feb. 21.-Negotiatioiis for a proposed domestic loan of $l00,0O, ,000 gold, secured upon the government owned railways of China, has created a great stir in political circles, and are widely denounced by many Chi nese papers as an attempt on the part of Japan to get control of Chinese railways by taking up the proposed domestic loan.
 While the Chinese cabinet has ap- proved the proposed loan, it is quite unlikely that it will be ratified by parliament which has taken a firm stand against the project on the ground that it woul dbe a little less than sale of the government rail ways to Japan.
 The minister of communications has been cal1Ad repeatedly before par liament and heckled vigorously con- corning the proposed internal loan. Newspapers in the various important commercial centers of China say the suggestion is ridiculous that an in- ternal loan of such size can be raised in the republic.
 The reputed purpose of the loan is to redeem railway obligations which are falling due, to complete extensions of lines now in existence to develop iron works and iron mines, to build sleeper factories and car factories, to extend the telegraph and telephone service, and to develop navigation enterprises.

SEVERE ROAD TESTS

Visitors to the Toledo factory of the Willys-Overland company are commenting upon the thoroughness of the road tests to which the new Wlllys-Knight Flights are being sub ]ected, recently said c. A. Oppliger of the Laser Motor company, local Wlllys-Overland dealer, in speaking of this new model which is the crown ing achievement of the comprehensive line manufactured by the Toledo auto- mobile makers.
 In addition to passing through numerous inspections each Willys- Knight Eight is subjected to a rigor- ous road test, which lasts for several days, before it is ready for final as- sembly.
 During the testing period these cars are driven from 200 to 300 miles over all sorts of roads by expert me- chanlcs, capable of locating and alagnoslng motor or chassis irregu- larities.
 Each morning a string of Willys- Knight chasses files out of the fac tory for it's strenuous daily grind.
 Each driver is instructed not to spare his car, but to give it the most racking usage possible and to care- fully report the condition of the motor and chassis in his charge.
 No weather conditions are too severe, no road too rough for these testers, many of whom are ex-race drivers. These cars are driven in rain or shine, in sleet, rain or snow, through snow drifts and over ice-cov- cred roads, as we'll as over smooth macadam or asphalt pavements."
