NEGROES URGED TO
REMAIN IN SOUTH
Tuskesee Negro Conference Adopts
Resolutions calling attention to
Great Opportunities Here.


Tuskegee, Ala, Jan. 19.-Negroes
hors.froIn every section Of the south
to attend the twenty-sixth annual Tus-
kegee Negro Conference yesterday
and today in declarations" adopted
yesterday, admonished negroes to re
main in the South and TO cooperate
With the white people who wanted to
see improvements in Southern labor
conditions. The Declaration" dealt
principally with the migration of
negroes northward, the boil weevl
and distress among negroes because
Of floods.
After stating that the enticement
Of high wages in the north in ap-pre-
ciated the statement says:
Fright here in the south are great
and permanent opportunities for the
masses of our people. This section,
we feel, is just entering upon its great
est era Of development. Here your
labor in the future is going to be in
still greater demand.
The statement then urged the ne
groes to stay on thesfarm and point
ed out that more. than so per cent OF
farms owned by negroes are in the
south. In this connection the negro
farmers we're urged to diversity their
crops so as to make themselves self
supporting and to combat the evil OF
the boil weevil in this manner.
Il was declared that zone Of the
chief causes Of unrest among the col
cred race is lack Of adequate protec-
ton under the law" and that as many
southern newspapers had published
editorials in behalf of the negro that
now is. the preatest opportunity the
south has ever had for white and black
eoDle to get together and have a thor.
ough understanding with reference to
their common interest, and also to co
operate for the general welfare oi
all"

PEACE IS IMPOSSIBLE
UNDER THE CONDITIONS
So Allies Announce In Amp'lfcatlon
Of Their Reply to Wilson's
Peace Message.

washington. Jan. 19.-The entente
allies. in a note addressed by Arthur
Balfour. British foreign minister, to
Ambassador Spring Rice and delivered
late yesterday to the state department
amplifying their reply to President
Wilson'S peace note by explaining in
detail why they believe it impossible
at present to attain peace which VIII
assure them such guarantees as they
consider essential. The note also ex-
Mains why the allies demand the eX-
plains why the allies demand The ex-
pulsion of Turkey from Europe; resto
ration of Alsace-L Lorraine to Italy and
the other international changes set
forth.
Those who think the future peace
of the world may be insured by inter
national treaties and international
laws. the note says. have ill-learned
the lessons taught by recent history.
After charging that German influences
in Turkey had resulted in conditions
as barbarous and more aggressive than
were known under Sultan Abdul Ham
id. and that it has been shown Ger
many cannot be expected to respect
treaty obligations, Mr. Balfour says:
$50 long as Germany remains the
Germany which without shadow OF
justification oyerran and barbarously
ill-treated a country it was pledged to
defend, no state can regard it's rights
as secure if they have not better pro
lection than a solemn treaty,
Asserting that Belgium was not Ger
manys only victim and that "neutrals
were intended to note outrages which
ACCOMPLISHED its conquest" the note
recitcs the "reign of terror" attendant
upon Germany's methods of warfare,
and in that connection says:
"The war stats of the central pow
ers are well content to horrify the
world if at the same time they can
terrorize it,"
The people of Great Britain, Mr..
Balfour says, share President Wilson's
desire for peace, but do not believe it
can be durable unless based on the
success of the allied cause. Such a
peace, it is regarded, cannot be eX-
pected unless these three conditions
are fulfilled. Existing causes Of inter
national unrest shall be as far as pos
sible removed or weakened.

Conflicting Stories As Outlaws Sue

corning Villas operations in Mexico

tuday said that the Carranza forces
lad DISPERSED the Villa bands in the
Tarral district. Another said that vii
la Lad begun an attack on Chihuahua

Gonartment agents.
The war department was without
any special reports from General Fun
ston, who yesterday completed an in
81 action Of the punitive expedition.
News dispatches that quoted him as
saying taht no raids on the American
border appeared probable and that in
the event of the withdrawal of Cen
eral Pershing's forces there would be
evailable sufficient regular troops to
1crestall any hostile movements from
Mexico, were taken as an indication
that the general might renew his rec
onmendation that the troops be
