PAUSE IN WAR ONLY
PRECEDES NEW STORM
BY Associated Press

Today there came such a pronounced
pause in the activities of the Great
War as to give the impression that
preparation for a new phase in the de-
velopment of the conflict may be in
progress.
4 Only on the. Austro- italian front,
where General Cadorna is determine
eddy pushing his campaign for Triest is
any sustained offensive going on. The
great battle which developed last
month on the front in northern France
has come to a halt. Even the counter
attacks of the Germans have virtually
ceased along the British front, while
on the French front they are lessened
in number and violence. The recently
nronounced aerial activity has sub.
sided also.
Where Will II Fall?
When the next blow is to be deliv-
cred can only be surmised. Indications
are multiplying that the Germans are
looking for some new development.
They have mentioned the Russo Ru-
manian front as the place of expected
attacks. The trend Of the news from
the entente side Of that front. how
ever, is not such as to lead to belief
that an effective stroke could be de-
livered upon the Teutonic line there at
present.
Emperor william. in addressing
troops on the front in northern France
recently. exhorted them to stand fast
in the decisive times he pictured as
being NOW at hand.'
Apparently. a renewal of the Franco
British attack, possibly on larger
scale than ever. is anticipated

met many of his old friends with
whom he was associated several years
ago when on several occasions he made
campaign speeches In behalf OF the
Republican party. During the Spanish
American war DIR. Wright was one OF
the two colored men who served as
paymaster In the army with the rank
Of major.
The Morning News Of Savannah, Ga,
gives the following extract from Major
Wright's address:
81 have been asked to give my opin-
ion of the movement of colored labor
to the north. l regret to see or hear
Of so many colored people leaving the
south. l must say that l am unQuan-
iedly against the indiscriminate migra-
ton Of these people to a climate and
conditions to which they are not accus-
toned. You will recall that Frederick
Douglass opposed the exodus Of colored
people to the north some years ago.
when conditions In the south were
worse than they are today. l can see.
however, why some should go.
I'm fact, l believe that this going OF
a limited number will not hurt us, but
may help. And perhaps now is the op-
perfume time for the Negro to enter the
northern Industrial field. when he can
become a welcome member and an as
set in the labor markets of the north.
With many others l think the opening
of the northern labor field may prove
a great blessing to the race and to the
south. II this opening is accepted eau
tiously and in wise numbers 1t will
benefit the Negro laborer In many
ways.
HE will learn from his northern en-
ployers and competitors many lessons
Of efficiency and thrift. Unfortunately
for our colorcd labor. we are too easy
going. We lack punctuality and reg
ularity We don't labor long enough
and steadily enough. Our habits of Ia
bor are not the most efficient. If we
are forced to meet northern competi-
tion and succeed 1t will help the whole
race. But let's not sell out our south
ern holdings. Let the one or two Of
the men OF a family who go north
make all the money they can and bring
II back to the south. That's the way
many Of the European immigrants
have done.
II say this, and yet l am not blind
to the other causes which induce the
colored men to leave the south. Let
US confess that 1t is undoubtedly true
that the high wages offered Is the main
cause. The fact that the European
war caused a shortage in the northern
labor force created a demand for I'm
skilled labor which could be supplied
from no other source than from the
Negro Of the south.
There are other aiding causes, how
ever. for this movement besides low
wages. Naturally the Negro. who IL
peculiarly adapted to a southern ch-
mate. prefers to remain In the south.
He has made his best progress In the
south. There are nearly . million Ne
gro farm operators. and most Of them
are in the south. The total acreage Of
their farms is 42.279.51O. valued at 81
141, ,792. .526. In the value Of farms op-
Grated there was an increase Of 1884
per cent during the last census decade.
while the value Of the farm property
operated by white farmers for the
same time increased only 89.6 per cent.
The Negro is prospering in the south.
Now. this and other facts constttute
for the Negro . strong tie to the so1th-
! o1n soil"
