Great Precautions Taken

DR.. Motion

Tuskegee, Ala, April 10. Robert Il
Motion. successor to the late Booker
L. Washington. principal Of Tuskeges
Institute, the worlds greatest negro
school, has pledged the unqualified
feaIty OF the negro race TO the flag
and avowed there can be no invasion OF
American rights without the shedding
of negro blood in their defence. DIR.
Motion has written President Wilson TO
this effect, and mas proiFered his SER
wees for war
"One thousand TusKegee cadets. all
trained 20 the tasks Of a soldier, are
ready for call 70 the colors," SAID
Major julius b. Ramsey, commanding
at the institute. today.
DR.. Motion says the German propa-
ganda IN the South TO create disafec-
ton among the negroes can achieve
little Those who are misled by the
Teuton intrigue number only a few
malcontents, and they have the uni.
versal condemnation Of all thinking
negroes. The negro race, he asserts,
is ready to deal swiftly and sternly
with any form Of disloyalty.
Ayows Negro Loyalty
This is our country" said DR.. Moe
ton, "and IL is our flag We are one
people, black and white. North and
South Internal understanding ars
wholly domestic matters but when
foreign nation insults the American
flag and kills our citizens, white or
black. that is entirely a different mat
ter. The negro is patient and forgiv-

he has demonstrated in every war since
1916"

respondent was permitted TO visit tho
school. Meantime, he was under con-
slant surveillance and his every word
and act was reported TO the County So
lcitor. who aftCrward explained:
These precautions have been or.
Gorcd by the United states District
Attorney at Montgomery We know
that German agents have been in this
section and we strongly suspect that
some OF them have gone to the insti-
tute and mingled with the students.
We are at war and can take no
chances"
One negro leader Of this section said
he had been aware Of reasonable ef-
forts among the negroes since 1906.
At that time, he said, he was APP
preached in New York by native
African student Of Columbia Univer-
sity, who told him Germany and Japan
might some day unite against thu
United States, and it would rebound to
the advantage of the negroes II they
championed the foreigners cause.

Negroes Are Urged
To Fight for u. S.
Newspaper Denounces Wilson
Administration, but Warns
Against Disloyalty

"The Negro Age roices one ot
the rieios held By some negroes on
service 10 the nation:
The question a. to whether the negrs
should volunteer to fight in case the
United States goes TO war IS one thai
continues TO bob up. Aside from the
principles involved, the fact that this
question does continue to bob up IS
significant Why is 1t now asked with
80 much insistence And why is y
now so often answered IN the Mega
tive?
Heretofore the negro, regardless on
what he might have suffered at the
hands Of individuals or organizations
or Municipalities or states. has always
felt that before the Federal governs
ment he was man and citizen.
President Wilson and his Administra-
ton of negro baiters have absolutely
changed this feeling. They have de-
MED the negro representation and paf-
ticipation in the government; they have
practised and sanctioned Jim Crow
ism" in the very government buildings
at Washington; they have tried 20
enact many laws hostile 20 the negroj
they have even proposed 20 make IL un-
lawful for him 20 enlist In the army of
navy.
But the Federal government will en-
dure; the Wilson Administration will
pass out. In fact, II an election could
be held. n would pass out to-mor,ow.
Then. in war, the negro must eight.
Even II there can be no sense Of pa
triotism. his position demands that no
should claim and seek 20 exercise every
right Of American citizenship, even the
right 10 fight for the country; which,
after all Is one Of the fundamental
rights Of citizenship.
he bald truth u the negro cannot
afford 20 be rated as o dislOyal element
IN the nation. Imagine the results x
he should for an instant arouse against
himself the sentiment which Is now
directed against the pro-German ele-
ment.

Edward Mumma Morris. nineteen
year-old pianist. gave q recital IN the
Comedy Theatre yesterday afternoon.
His programme ranged from Bach to
Strauss. and included compositions by
Mozart, Beethoven. Chopin and Dvor-
sky.
Mr. Morris is apparently serious
musician. and despite the fact that his
powers are not fully developed, gave
arrlc evidence that he knows how the
works he attempts should be played.
Some Of his rapid scales were
blurred. ard az times his fingers seemed
uncertain in he execution OF rapid
arpcggi. but in all OF the less technl-
c4lly difficult PARTS his intefpretatlye
ability came 70 the fore and he pro-
vided rendltlOns which were both con-
yincing and enjoyable.
Particularly grateful was his per-
formauce OF ChOpin's "Scherzo In
Minor" Op. 20 Here none Of the lyric
grace and tender feeling escaped the
young artist, and h. 80 delighted his
hearers that an encore was demanded
