threatens as great injury to our
shipping, thru lack of production,
as do the German submarines by
actual destruction.
Appearances First.
So far, the preference has ap-
peared to be for an ocean touring
car, even If we have to wait con-
siderably longer for it.
The one boat offered that could
be produced on a "quantity-pro-
duction'' basis has been shunted
aside in favor for more beautiful
models requiring much more time
and expert labor to construct.
No question has been raised as
to this ocean iitney's seaworth-
mess, its cargo capacity or the
increased speed with which boats
of this type could be built.
But chief consideration seems
to have been given the matter of
appearance, and of usefulness five

all contracts have been for vessels
of a type that, while undoubtedly
better boats for normal require

SHALL DEFY Law OR BREAK UP my H0ME?"
Make Koher Man Without Race Must Solve This Problem
SUPPOSED
NEGRO IN
DILEMM MA
Especial to The Times.)

PAIRS, Ky, July ga man
without "a race!
Stunned by his white relatives,
pitied by his friends, white and
black, Make Kohler, well-tO-dO
Paris contractor, white mAn,
and his negro family, are today
facing dilemma which threat
ems to wreck his life and break
his wife's heart.
Kohler, who until few days
ago believed himself negro, has
discovered he is white.
His sister and other relatives,
from whom he has been separated
since childhood and who recently
discovered his whereabouts, hor-
|rified by his inter-racial marriage,
changed their addresses and re-
fuse to communicate with him.
In the face of all, driven
from his adopted race by cir
cumstanCes over which he
had no control, his marriage
made illegal by the Kentucky
law, avoided by his own race,
Kohler declares he will not
desert his wife and babies.
When eight years old he and his
sister were taken from a Cincin-
natl orphanage and adopted by
Nat c. Rogers, wealthy Kentucky
landowner. When their foster IA
Their died they went to live with
his son, Rosebery Rogers, where
they were again treated as mem
bers of the family.
The boys happiness was short
lived. After the death of Rose
berry Rogers, he was driven from
the house. told he was a negro
and must associate with other
negroes on the farm. He did not
know what became of his sister.
Kohler was too young to i'll
vestigate his parentage and, &C
cepting the statement as true,
went to work as farmland and
lived with the blacks on the farm.
About - years ago he left the
farm and came to Paris, where he
became a brick mason and later
entered the contracting business.
He prospered, married and accum-
ulated a modest fortune.
His home was a happy one, he
was good husband and a kind
father to his children, a 5-year-
old boy and 11-months-ol girl.
Then out of the sky came the
knowledge he was born Of white
parents.
The medium was a Cincinnati
newspaper carrying an advertise
men asking information of his
whereabouts. He answered and
in few days received letter
from a small town in Oklahoma.
THE WRITER WAS HIS SIS
TER.
In the correspondence which
followed Kohler told her of his
supposed negro blood and asked
her for proofs that he was really
a Caucasian. The answer includ-
ed photographs of his father and
and convinced KOhler that
he really was white. Letters from
ether relatives confirmed this.
Then KOhler wrote of his
negro wife and babies. Tie
answers broke his heart. His
relatives changed their adj
dresses and refused to have
anything more TO do with
him.
WHAT CAN | DO?'
That is Kohlers problem. Ken
lucky laws forbid intermarriage
between whites and blacks.
If he leaves Paris, he must give
up the business he has given years
to build.
If he stays he must abandon his
wife and children or live outside
the law.
Unwelcomed by whites and
blacks alike, what can Kohler do?
He is indeed a man without q
race.
