U-BOAT CREWS Revolt
REPORTED THAT PRoPAoANDIsTs
INcITE SUBMARINE SAILORS
READY TO CRUISE.
LEADERS SENTENCED TO DIE
Revolt by German Sailors In Protest
Against Continuation of subma-
rIns Warfare--FIfty U-Boats
Have Disappeared.

London.-Rumors OF revolt by Ger.
man sailors at Wilhemshaven, In pro
test against continuation of the sub
marine warfare, are In circulation, &C
cording to dispatch from Amsterdam.
It Is reported that propagandists
among the men melted sailors about to
leave on submarine cruises TO attack
their officers and surrender their ships
or seek an opportunity to sink them
and get themselves interned In neu-
trail harbors. More than so submarines
are said to have disappeared.
Twenty-three of the ringleaders Of
the revolt are reported to have been
arrested and sentenced to death Many
others have been arrested at Kiel and
elsewhere, it is added.
The correspondent who sends the re-
ports admits that the stories are con-
flicting and facts difficult to ascertain.
The men behind the movement, the
accounts state, are revolutionary sail
ors, who for some time past have been
conducting propaganda with the OBJ
iect Of stopping the submarine war
fare because of increased dangers.
The recent resignation Of Admiral
Won Holtzendorff as chief of the naval
staff is declared to have been connect
ed with the scandal. Emperor Will
liam, 1t is added, abandoned an in
tended visit to the fleet at WilheIms-
haven because of the ferment there.

WIPE OUT ENTIRE BATTALION
American Machine Gunners Protecting
Location on the VesIe, Stop
Vicious Attack.

With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front-American ma
chine gunners, protecting location on
the Vesle west of Fismes, wiped out
an entire battalion OF German infantry
men and machine gunners. The Ger
mans, at this time, were getting into
position to attack a group Of American
bridge builders who were approaching
the location.
Some bridge materials had been
moved near the south bank of the
Vesle and the Germans, apparently dis
covering this fact, had sent battal-
ion to a hill position to prevent the
Americans from carrying out their
plan. A detachment of crack Kmeri-
can machine gunners, however, pre-
viously had taken an elevated position
commanding the location, opened fire.

RESPECT FOR NEGROES.
An Interesting Point.

To the Editor, Tho African World:
Will you allow me to voice In your
columns Il complaint against print
ing the word Negro" with a small
en-, as you do in your last issue In
your editorial entitled "Our Colored
Troops Valor?" But my complaint
Is not against your paper exclusively
as the practice is a general ono.
write you because T feel that, II you
give publicity to my complaint, your
act In that respect will have great
weight and be far-reaching.
Ethnologists have given the name
"Negro' to the people inhabiting
mainly Central Tropical Africa, and
the term has been extended to tho
descendants OF these people wherever
living. Sir Harry Johnston applies
the term "Negroids" to all persons
whose Negro blood is mixed with that
OF some other race.
Negro" is really q generic race
name like "Aryan," and should dis
appear from our general nOmencla-
tiure just as "Aryan" has practically
done. Aryans are now generally re-
ferred to as English, French, Nor
welgians, etc. Negroes are really
entitled to be called Nigerians, Sene
galese, Dahomeyians, Congolese, etc.
But my objection is not to tho use Of
tho word Negro" but to printing
1t with a small en-" TO my com
plant in this respect there can BIO
no answer
After reading Colonel Rooseyelt's
"Afrlcan Game Trails" I wrote him
complaining about his use Of the
word Negro" with small en-" He
replied practically admitting that 1t
should not be done. Last month
wrote Sir Harry Johnston complain
Ing that in one OF his recent articles
tho words NEGRO" and "Negroids"
were printed with a small en-" He
replied, blaming the editors, saying
that no article from his pen ever
carried these words with small en-"
as he regards it as perfectly indefen-
sible to print s'Negro" with q small
"n" while printing tho name Of overy
race with a capital letter.
I can we'll understand tho mental
second nature, which still thinks OF
the Negro as thing; but in Africa,
in America, indeed, wherever found,
he lie working his way so rapidly and
80 marvclously out Of tho degrada-
ton OF the recent centuries Of slavery
as to entitle him to take his place
among the other races as a person,
and not as thing.
We have applied the name "Hun"
to the present day Germans, but We
spell neither that term nor Ger
man" with small "h" or q small
g." Surely the Negro who is fight.
Ing heroically in his endeavour to
help make the world better place
to live in, Is entitled to more re.
spectful treatment than the Germans
who are fighting to make the world
o hell on earth to every free man.
