and discrimination against fellow
Americans.
Now comes the President of the
United States and declares officially
to the world that this government
takes part in the European war to pro-
mote World Democracy and World
Humanity. He tells the new army
raised specifically to make the world
Safe for Democracy" that this war
draws us all closer together in hui
mar brotherhood as did the Revolu-
tIODary War for America indcpend-
e1ce. Hence, in view of his own
words and of this war, we do now call
upon President Wilson to abolish that
essential violation of democracy, race
segregation of government clerks, and
to recommend to Congress the en-
actment of law; (a) To enforce the
14th and 18th Amendments of the Con-
stitution which forbid peonage and
disfranchisement, thereby restoring
to millions of Americans their civil
and political rights: (b) To make
lynching a federal crime; (c) To
forbid segregation for race in inter-
state travel, or travel in federal terri
tory.
Segregation In Army Not Democracy.
Colored Americans demand only
that the rights of free people and the
common rights of mankind" which
this government proclaims for Europe
be also in the possession at home of
all our citizens subject to risk or
suffer disease and death in carrying
this cause to these foreign nations. We
believe in democracy We hold that
this nation should enter the lists with
clean hands, and that in this forma-
ton Of new army, in the absence
of any law compelling race distinc-
ton, the exclusion of Colored Ameri-
cans from Officer Training School,
from camps and cantonments with the
rest is a betrayal Of the cause of de-
mocracy, and is causing fresh con-
tempt and persecution. We demand
equality Of rights for all in all de-
partments Of the government.
No Success Without Justice.
All patriotic Americans must be
that with the country at war
American citizens are burned at the
stake by mobs, are massacred because
they work for living, are beaten and
assaulted. All should unite against
the tryany Of mobs and of labor or
CARNATIONS. Until the right of trial
for crime is secure, until the right of
travel to work and to vote Is free to

Robson had his fish, hook and line
carried away by a shark and Mr..
Dumas had an exciting time with an
infant octopus. This could be made

A NOTABLE FEAT.

Mrs. George Nichols owns a pet
fox terrier that deserves a cross of
honor for valiant conduct. He catches
big fierce rats and puts them to
death whenever the chance comes to
nm. One day recently he caught a
nest of four pole-cats in a lumber
shed at Mr. Dobbs new house. One
by one he shook the life out of those
poultry thieves and then lay down
exhausted. No wonder the entire
family pets Ginger and feels under
obligations to him.

AT CAMP UPTON
Gen. Bell Refuses to Allow

Address Soldiers.

mander at Camp Upton. where the
drafted men from New York city are
In training. refused yesterday to per-
nit Morris Iiillquit. the Socialist candi-
date. to make . campaign speech At
the camp. This announcement wss
made by the Socialist candidate him
self, who issued tho following state
msnt:
to refuse me permission to address the
men in Camp Upton. The Socialist
party has a message for tho drafted
men. 1t is the only party that recog-
nizes, to the full extent. the public
duty resting upon the national and
city government to take care Of the
families OF the soldiers. By sub
stantial reduction in the food prices
and the cost Of other necessaries OF life
a Socialist administration would enable
the families OF the drafted men TO main
tain better existence under scanty
allowances and thus ease the minds OF
the soldiers while they are stalking their
lives in the service Of the country.
ut is particularly regrettable that
Gen. Bell should have refused q hear
ing to the Socialist candidate In this
campaign after having publicly an
nounced that he would allow all party
candidates to address the soldiers in
Camp Upton. BY refusing a hearing to
ono candidate and granting it to others
the General Is taking an undue political
advantage Of his position OF military
authority.
II wanted to speak to the boys at
Camp Upton not only because my candi-
dacy u a. important to them as II 10
to the civilian voters Of this city. hut
also because my election would contrib
ute substantial encouragement to the
growing forces Of struggling democracy
in Germany and thereby tend to bring
