East st. Louis, ILL.,, May 29.-Race riot in
East ST. Louis caused by heavy influx of ne
cores from the South during the past month
Kindly advise negroes TO remain away from
East st. Louis"
There are volumes of sound and seasonable adj
moEition in the foregoing telegram received yes
terday by Governor Harris from the Mayor of the
Illinois city in which mob of two thousand or
more persons attacked the imported negro labor
ers, shooting three of them, beating many into I'M
consciousness and driving several hundred across
the Missouri river bridge. This instance though
somewhat heightened in degree, is no different in
kind from what has occurred at scores of North
ern points to which Southern negroes have heer
lured by great expectations For every one who
has found the new environment agreeable or even
tolerable, hundreds have found it unbeara BILE
They have awakened from the dreams, instilIed
into their minds by cunning labor agents. to stern
and oftentimes terrible realities They have found
instead of the fortunes and extraordinary privileges
promised them, the hardness of a strange land and
strange people, the seventies of a climate to which
they wholly unaccustomed and unsuited the
dreariness of separation from kindred and friends
and not infrequently as in East ST Louis III
they have met with mob violence of the fercest
character
Bitter establishment awaits the negroes who
leave their Southern homes for the seemingly nigh
but really low wages of the North, where thew are

hope of anything substantial and permanent The
warning from Illinois, which is broadly significant
of sentiment and conditions at other Northern and
Western points, will not be unheeded bv negroes

The Journal and Liberty Bonds.

Feeling the obligation which all true Ameri-
cans feel to support the Government in these
crucial times and realizing the basic necessity of
adequate funds for prosecuting the war, The
Journal purposes to do it's bit toward making the
two-bilIion-dollar Liberty Loan a success, both by
buying Liberty bonds itself and by assisting Its
employees to buy them
The war upon which our nation has entered is
peoples 1t concerns the rights of every
citizen and the welfare of every home in the
United States 1t is of democracy against
despotism and of humanity against barbarism For
the sake of all he believes in and all he holds dear
every American is called upon to do his utmost
in fighting the battle of freedom and in making
victory sure Hundreds of thousands will dedi-
cate their very lives to the country's Hun
dreds of thousands will help by adding to the
stores of munitions and food and other neces-
saries. Surely, the least those not serving with
the coIors do is to aid in supplying the
fund which is essential to all military plans and
operations. When the youth OF the land
preparing to pour out their blood that freedom
may be preserved and fresdes kept secure
surely no one who is bulwarked by their brave
sacrifice will fail to do his part in raising the
needed funds.
The Government does not ask contributions
1t simply asks that every American who can do
so invest in one Liberty Loan bond, an
absolutely safe and tax-free security on which a
good rate of interest will be paid and which
will be as negotiable money itself. The Jour
nal intends to buy Liberty bonds because of the
patriotic duty to buy them, and 1t intends to as
sist its employees to render this national service
and make this wise investment on convenient
terms. 1t is The Journals hope that everyone
identified with it will have some part, however
small, in the Liberty Loan of 1917.
Through the liberal plans presented by banks
and numerous industrial concerns the smallest
savers and persons VINO never tried to save before
can become purchasers OF Liberty bonds 1t Is
the duty and privilege of every man and woman
who possibly can do so to take advantage of this

Germany and other countries whose food sup
ply has been greatly lessened owing to the
- war, it has been found necessary to forbid the
eating of meat certain days of the week. we
who live this side of the Atlantic are more fortu-
nately situated, and similar governmental action
will probably not be needed.
Nevertheless | would suggest that, as individ-
ual citizens, voluntarily decrease our consump-
ton of meat, imposing ourselves at least one
meatless day every week, and eating less meat than
usual the other days Of the week.
There are several reasons for our doing this.
One is found in the fact that by thus restricting
ourselves shall be rendering an important serv-
ice to allies abroad.
More than ever before they looking to us
in America-to the people of both the United States
and Canada-for help in supplying them with food.
They need all that We can send to them, including
a generous contribution of meat.
But as it happens our meat production today
is not so superabundant that help our allies
adequately without making some sacrifice ourselves.
This sacrifice, in the way of smaller home con-
sumption of meat, assuredly should make.
1t is demanded by the dictates of humanity and
self-nterest alike For, manifestly, every move we
make for the benefit of allies is made to
own advantage in Fastening to a victorious close
the war in which they and engaged.
Besides which, to most of us, it will be not
really sacrifice but positive gain to eat less
meat than we now do. For most of us eat more

the hitter part of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval

part their leisure hours are given up to
study of matters connected with their
