At this hour forgetting our
heavy burdens and our mis-
treatment we should remem-
Der that this is OUR MA
TIVE LAND. None are
more American than we: for
have not we with brain and
muscle and sacrifice made the
southland what it is. WE
ARE AMERICANS. No
word or act of race hate can
alter that fact. At the hour
OF this nations peril let us
prove what is really in our

go patiently on with our daily
service. 1t may be Gods
hand. The refusal leaves US
no worse off. If America
needs us, we will hear her call
and will answer-that is pa
triotism.
At this hour words other
than these are treason. The
man of hasty speech. who is
worth nothing to his country
in either war or peace, should
be promptly silenced by the

Stop just now and think. If

speak the word. that would
cause others nobler than YOU
to go to her rescue.
l am black, and no heart
can thrill as mine to love of

her needs. No white man who
walks her soil can give more

EXPLOSIVES LAW NEEDED.

By the frequency of bomb plots in this
country, we are continually reminded OF
the anomaly of our laws that surround the
sale of small amount of poison with IN
finite precautions, and allow anybody to
buy any amount of the most powerful dyn-
amite. All he has to do is, produce the
price. Even if any questions are asked,
there is no attempt to verify statement,
as was brought out in the trial of Michael
Herhhy, convicted Of exploding bomb in
New York subway.

AS there is too indiscriminate sale of
explosives, its use is likewise too indis-

The laws of the country should be

WHAT AMERICA COULD DO.

Although its military force is undevel1
oped, the United States would have pow
erful influence on the war.
InaSmuch as the entente would be our
actual, if not our formal allies, the United
States would bend every energy to keeping
the entente supplied with munitions and
food stuffs, and would prohibit the ex-
portatbon of supplies to neutral countries
in large enough quantities TO allow their
re-exportation to Germany. 1t would be
putting the double knot on the blockade,
and as Germany's crop will not come in
for four months, that country would feel
the squeeze bitterly.
Throwing ports open to allied warships
would not be without its military advan-
tages; warships could be outfitted here,
and whether or not the United States sent
an expeditionary force to Europe, there
are thousands of Americans eager to
answer the call of adventure, who would
enlist for service in foreign commands, il
recruiting offices were opened in this
country. Some fifty thousand are already
fighting with the allies, men, for the most
part, who made their way to Canada and
there enlisted.
Finally we could mobilize our industrial
resorces, which are almost equal to the
combined resources of the allies, making a
wealth balance against Germany OF almost
five to one. Already of great financial aid
to the allies, we would undoubtedly in
crease our assistance-the government
itself might vote huge sums of money to
be put at their disposal
Thus even if our warfare never passed
beyond the passive stage, the United
States would be determining factor But
our fleet, even if not as powerful as il
should be, would be of no uncomfortable
