FAIR PLAY FOR NEGROES
IN ARMY, Mr.. BAKERS PLEA
Secretary Of War Investigates
Charges Of Discrimination Against
Nations Colored Fighters.

Investigation Of cases Of alleged dis,
crimination against colored drafted
men has been ordered by Secretary
Baker to see that colored soldiers are
not required to do an unfair share Of
the labor Of the Army. In memo
randum on the subject, Mr.. Baker says.
in part: ut has been my policy to dis
courage discrimination against any
persons by reason of their race. This
policy has been adopted not merely as
an act of justice to all races. but also
to safeguard the very institutions
which we are now at the greatest sac
rifce engaged in defending. and which
any racial disorders must endanger.
TN this hour of national emergency
white and colored men alike are being
called to defend our country's honor.
white men, in the camps containing
both, have been worked out on very
sa satisfactory basis. All my reports in
dicate the colored men are accepting
not occasion for creating dtscord or
trouble, and white men and officers are
passing over the question Of race diff
ference in helpful spirit.
what we need in this emergency is
the help of thinking people in the cities
are getting that cooperation so gen.
orally that our course seems free from
embarrassment.
I'VE are bending all our energies to
the building up Of an Army to defeat
the enemy of democracy and freedom,
and the Army we are building contains
both white and colored men. We are
expecting they will all do their duty
and when they have done it they viii
be alike entitled to the gratitude OF
their country"

WOULD USE PRISON LABOR
TO MAKE WAR SUPPLIES
Senator Hoke Smith Introduces Bill
Giving Convicts Chance to
Help Country.

a bill introduced by Senator Hoke
Smith Of Georgia has for its purpose
20 make possible the utilization of
prison labor in the manufacture of war
supplies and for other public work
now debarred by law. The plan pro-
posed is along the lines of those all
ready developed by Great Britain and
Canada under which prisoners are do
ing their bit to help win the war.
Introduction of the bill is the result
OF cooperation of the American Fed
eration of Labor. the Department of
Labor. the War Department and the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor. Provision is made in the
btff authorizing the purchase Of sup
plies from non-contract prisons of the
country by the federal government.
At its last session Congress appro-
prfated money for shops at Atlanta,
aeayenworth and McNeill Island federal
Denitentiaries. This development was
approved by the officers Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, which is now
pressing the nationwide extension of
the state-use system. If this is done
the federal government can increase
the nations productivity. economize its
insufficient labor power and benefit the
prisoner and the free workingman.
The bill authorizes the Secretary of
war and the Secretary of the Navy to
employ military prisoners in the man

would result in the annulment of all of

dako:
The allied representatives answer
the soviet's movement toward peace
with a series of ambiguous threats
The warning of the allied military
missions to Gen. Doukhonine and the
subsequent disclosures indicated that
they acted without instructions from
their respective governments and were
unauthorized.
Make Statements, Then Retract.
.They were not such statements as
only ambassadors are permitted TO
make. One day the American military
attache issues distinct threat In the
name of the United States to the
effect that America intends to desert
Russia through the establishment OF
an embargo on materials destined for
this country. The next day the menace
is followed by a retraction The Ger
mans consent to a general armfstice
REQUIRES a definite answer from the
allies The soviet does not doubt that
the allies will attempt further to
frirhten the masses of Russia
I'VE need be not frightened at their
threats The allies would encounter
severe opposition from their own peo-
ple. War on Russia is impossible for
technical and political reasons. An in
result in war between japan and
America. War by Italy and France
against Russia would be futile and
would bring disaster to the initiators.

New Key Bridge Plans.

An account is given of the prepara-
tions made for the construction of the
new Key bridge. That bridge, when
constructed. Gen. Black says. will ex-
pedite and facilitate the movement of
traffic between the District of Columbia
and Virginia.
Regarding the Washington aqueduct
and filtration plant. Gen. Black says
the publication of the water served to
the District was very satisfactory. the
average turbidity having been reduced
from 247 to 0 and the bacterial content
from 4.760 to 13 per cubic centimeter,
The average consumption was 1881
million gallons per day. making the
average per capita consumption 149
gallons per day. The estimated cost OF
services is $4,000. and the chief of
engineers earnestly recommends the
appropriation of that amount. to be
made Immediately available.
For Prevention of Waste.
Suggestions are made for remedying
the great waste of water at the gov
ernment printing Office. Legislation is
requested for the extension of the
water system across the Key bridge to
the military reservation on the Fir-
ginia side of the river.
Various estimates are submitted for
the preservation and improvement of
the public parks in the District of
Columbia and for the preparation of
designs for the Arlington memorial
bridge. These include an item for
installing a ferry line from 7th and
Water streets to East Potomac Park
and for improving the sewerage of the
Smithsonian grounds
Views of Gen. Black.
Gen. Black. chief of engineers. in his
annual report summarizes the effect of
the improvement of the Potomac river
in the following words: Larger and
deeper draft vessels are now engaged
in trade; freight rates have been mate
rally reduced; through rates to Nor
folk by water are less than by rail and
the reclamation of the Potomac flats
has resulted in the substitution for
misunderstanding tidal fiat of one of
the most beautiful parks in the coun-
try"
Referring to the project for the i'm
provement of the Anacostia river from
Black says that the largest vessels ply
ing the Potomac can now reach the
navy yard without difficulty. THE
channel" he says, will not require any
maintenance work during the fiscal
year 1919. The reclamation portion of
the project is not yet completed. and,
as 1t is understood that no further
river and harbor appropriations are to
be applied to this portion of the project,
no funds are asked for it for the fiscal
year 1919. Congress has not yet indi-
Gated what is to be done with this par

MAY KEEP SOME MONEY.
National Red Cross 0ficials Rule
Local Units May Keep % Per Cent

There has been considerable dis
cussion in Iron county Red Gross
circles as to the disposition OF the
money that has been collected for the
Red Cross of this county. There
was disposition TO send all OF the
money to Washington, irrespective Of
the fact that the quota was greatly
oyersubscribed.
One faction wished TO retain all
over the quota 10 be used when an
other call is issued but II seems that
the national commission has ruled
that all the money must be turned
in to the National treasurer, but that
25 per cent OF tfe subscription may
be retained by the local units. This
means that the Iron River unit will
have It's share of its own subscrip-
ton and Crystal Falls its share Of
its own, etc.
The national officers extend the
privilege OF retaining any amount up
to and including 25 per cent of all
collections. the greater amount I'm
connection with Iron county's collec-
tions. would amount 70 $4,000. This
money If retained, will be used for
the purchase OF supplies with which
the women are now working. At
present all materials that are made
into surgical dressings, bandages,
and general hospital supplies, must
be purchased from money secured in
other ways Women put up the mon
ey for everything they work. on, in
many cases while some buy supplies
for others TO manufacture.
II was said that It will only be
fair for the local organization TO have
a good share Of It's collections for To-
cal use. The county raised a sum
greatly i'm excess of its quota and has
been doing other work beside. If
the cash is held out, il eventually
reaches the Red Cross any way, as
the bandages and the like to be pur-
chased and manufactured. are to be
sent on for Red Cross work.
