PROBABILITY OF WAR MAKES
NEGROES STICK AROUND HOME

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 13.-That the
probability of war between the Unit
ed States and Germany has stopped a
great many negroes from migrating
to northern cities is the news coming
irto Atlanta from the farming sections
OF south Georgia. which were begin
ming to feel the effects Of labor
shortage.
1t seems the negroes have gotten
the idea that the northern states
would be the fighting ground If the
United States should get into war, and
hence they prefer to stay at home in
Dixie land. Another strong deterrant
influence has been the information
sent back and brought back by me-
groes who went north, scores of them
landing in eastern cities with empty
pockets and still emptier stomachs.

BEAR BEARS HIS PART

THE FRENCH FRONT, Feb. 13.-
Fighting with the Russian army in
France today is huge bear from the
Caucasion mountains who seems to en-
Joy his sojourn on the French front
fully as much as his masters enjoy
theirs.
He is mascot of one of the Russian
regiments that was transported half
way round the world from the Russian

darity of the Allies.
When the time comes for the bears
regiment to go in the front line trench
es for its six days of duty, the bear
goes along. He keeps the all night
yigils with the sentinels and as there
is nothing else to eat but the regular
rations brought up from the rear he
permits the soldiers to divide their
share with him. The Russian army has
brought with it into France its own
cuisins, and the soups and dishes pre-
pared would appear to be, judging
from the appearance both of the SOL
diers and the bear, of highly nourish-
ing character.
When the bear has finished his time
in the front line, he accompanies the
regiment to the rear for the customary
six days of repose.. He is always
ready to go anywhere provided he re-
mains always with the men Of his
particular regiment.

agreement to vote on President vii.
sons Food Control bin July 21--five
weeks after its submission to Congress

lowed today by issuance from the
White House Of a detailed report by
Herbert Hoover declaring that both
the farmers ana the public are threat
ened Ti.h serious losses unless food
control Authority is given quickly to
the federal government.
Democratic senators obtained the
agreement for a vote only after they
had consented to strip the bill of some
Of its more drastic features, including
the stringent prohibition provisions.
So |far-reaching was the revision de-
manded, in fact, that all-day confer
enccs of the Democratic steering com
nittee and the agriculture committee
resulted in presentation of a substi-
tute for the entire measure.
Wilson Would Accept Substitute.
There was no expression OF opinion
from the White House regarding the
provisions of the substitute bill, but it
is expected to be agreeable to the
President in the main. 1t follows gen
orally the lines of the administration
bill as originally introduced with pow
er to control other Industries besides
food and fuel eliminated. 1t would
prohibit manufacture of distilled
liquors without provisions of govern
ment purchase of existing stock and
would place in the Presidents hands
the power and responsibility to decide
whether prohibition shall be extended
o beer and wine.
Neither was any comment on Mr..
Hooyer's report available at the White
House. but the fact of its publication
at this time was regarded as another

The Matter With Germany.

The longer Americans study
the German government system
the greater becomes their diff
ticulty in understanding how
Germans can tolerate it, and the
question is far from satisfactor-
lily answered by recalling that
Germans are without the means
OF amending their constitution.
Why, considering the tyrannical
nature of abs~olutism, do they re-
frain from revolution? The Ger
mans we know in America would
succeed. There can be no doubt
of it. They have shown themselv-
es among the most progressive,
the most fearless, the most lib
erty-loving people ever to seek
this country.
But reflect. Our gain was Ger
many's loss. We got, so to speak,
the very top of the German bas-
ket. Ambitious, aggressive, indie
pendent, courageously forthput-
ting Germans came here by the
millions. Though less numerous
ly, the same splendid type mi
grated to southern Brazil, to
Argentina, and to other regions
where fortune beckoned and op-
portunity seemed WAITING.
Whereas southeastern Europe
and Asia Minor sent us their
weddings and are ready to do
it again. Germany sent us its
best. This, so observers of mod
ern Germany are wont to point
out, is one thing that accounts
for modern Germany.
1t is a case of natural select
ion the wrong end to-the sur
vival of the unfttest. Or, to a
perceptible degree, it is that. The

New Loan Contemplated.


The Liberty Loan of 1917 was
a great success in whatever as
pect it is considered. The gov
ernment called for $4,000, 000,-
900 and over S3,O00,O 600, 900 was
subscribed for by more than A.
100000 people. This large sub
scription and this great number
of subscribers were obtained,
after a short campaign, from
a Nation that as a people were
not accustomed to purchasing
Government bonds. It should be
remembered, too, that the bond
issues of other nations were
sold when the foe was either on
their territory or at their very
gates. Our bonds were sold when
danger was far from us. There
was no duress, no hysteria. The
bonds were bought in the calm
exercise of patriotism and sound
business judgment after a cam
paign of education and informa-
ton.
Richmond, Va, the old capt.
tai of the Confederacy, bought
a Liberty Bond for every five
inhabitants. Montana, in the far
West, largely exceeded its quo
ia of bonds. Little villages all
over the country exceeded their
quotas as the metropolis of the
county greatly exceeded its.
There was hardly a state, city,
or community that did not do
the same. Poor crop conditions,
a recent great fire, and other
local causes resulted in two dis
tricts falling a little below their
allotments, but the large over
subscription everywhere else
more than made up for this un-
avoidable deficiency. Cities with
large foreign-born populations
subscribed as literally as others
The united spirit of the Amer
lean people, the solidarity of the
Nation, made up as it is of peo-
pie from all nations, have been
demonstrated.
A Second Loan.
A second loan is contemplated
within the next few months.
The same things that made the
initial loan of $4,000 600, 900 a
success will operate to make
the new equally successful. In
fact, the information regarding
Government bonds and finances
