Regiment Asks for
All-Negro Officers
Fifteenth Promises Governor
1t Then Will Recruit to Full
Force I'm a Hurry

Governor Whitman yesterday at the
St. Regis was asked by delegation of
negroes to sanction recruiting for the
18th Nationa! Guard Regiment to a
full complement, with strictly negro
officers, from colonel down. The dele
cation included David c. Outlear, at
torney; Isaac B. Allen, former Assem-
blyman; William Nichols, Virgil H.
Parks, A. B. Cosey, DR.. Williams, Lee
Pollard and C. Juliette.
eve told the Governor the record of
the negro soldiers in the Civil War, in
the Spanish-American War and thus
far in this war amply warrants US in
asking him to sanction the filling up
of the 18th Regiment, on the under
standing all the officers are to be col
ored," said Mr.. Outlear
"The original 18th was colored, with
white officers, principally. That COM
mand was merged with the army on
the other side and has given an &C
count of it's fighting qualities. The
recruiting for the 18th National Guard,
or state, Regiment is going on very
slowly, the chief difficulty being that
the men feel they can fight as we'll as
any one and want colored officers from
top to bottom If the Governor grants
our request you'll see the ranks fill up
in a hurry"
The Governor promised to carefully
answer. He will review the regiment
this afternoon on the grounds of the
Crescent Athletic Club. Tomorrow
afternoon, at Richmond Hill, he will
speak at a flag raising, and will return
to Albany Sunday night.

Russellites Said

"Blind Murder Machine"

Jack London's "a Good Soldier was
introduced in evidence by the prosecu-

Russellites in the United States Dis

suit several self-conscious army men
in the audience heard soldier de-
scribed as "blind, heartless, soulless,

Joseph B. Rutherford, successor to the
late Pastor Russell, and eight of his
followers were arrested as obstruc-
tionists following the publication and
circulation of "The Finished Mystery"
but it was alleged they also made use
of Jack London's article.

to "Soldiers of Christ" whom London
contrasts with ordinary soldiers, "the

soldier. The good soldier is not man.
He is not even brute, foz brutes
only kill in self-defence. All that is
human in him, all that has been divine
in him, all that constitutes thu man
has been sworn away when he took
the enlistment oath. His mind, his
conscience, his very soul, are in the
keeping of his officer No man may
fall lower than a soldier"

Association, the original Russell or.

Not Opposing War
The. followers of Pastor Russell were
expecting the war, according to Hud

a divine means of bringing about the
Messanic kingdom.
"We, therefore, are not against the
war;" he said, "because it was destined
to come. We are against combative

Lord"

Demonstration by Citizens
of German Origin Likely
To Be "5O-5O" Affair
Resolution Too Strong
Franz Sigel at Preliminary
Meeting Refuses to Mod
ify Language

Citizens of German origin through
out the city are watching with mis-
gvings the progress of what they de-
clare is a scheme to make the pro-
posed demonstration of loyalty a
ffty-ffty affair as between the Kaiser
and America. The stormy meeting on
Thursday, at which resolution intro
duced by Franz Sigcl, of the Friends
of German Democracy, was referred to
committee instead of being indorsed,
is not regarded as a hopeful augury
ri 100 per cent American "loyalty
demonstration"
Apparently the sole reason that
those who attended the preliminary
meetjng baked at the resolution was
contained in a paragraph expressing
absolute condemnation Of the German
government, the German Kaiser and
the Prussian military autocrats, who
are and have been the German govern
ment."' This harsh but straightfor-
ward language impelled the Rev Julius
Jaeger to recall the time he was in
troduced to the Kaiser, whom he re-
garded as "the most democratic of
men," and precipitated the discussion.
Anti-Kaisermen Outnumbered
Representatives of the Friends OF
German Democracy and of the Lieder-
kranz Society, organizations that are
regarded as frankly anti-Kaiser, were
outnumbered by far. Mr.. Sigel firmly
declined to have hrs resolution mu.
tilated as was suggested by the
Kaiser's friend, DR.. Jaeger, by cutting
out the Objectionable paragraph, anc

mittee on the motion of Joseph Ridder

Charles Engelhard declined to meet
reporters who went to his office at 80

He held that office for about eight
months, and then was sent to the
United States to corrupt labor leaders,
start strikes and fires, dynamite fac
tories and ships or use such other
means as might prove necessary to
prevent the shipment of munitions to
the. Allies. Strikes, fires, explosions
and missing ships followed his arrival
but the shipments to the Allies con-
tinued.
Then, still acting under instructions,
it is said, Rintelen played his second
card and began to intrigue in Mexico
and along the border to embroil the
two countries and divert military sup
plies from Europe to this continent.
The elimination of this plotting was
the negotiations attempted by Ger
many to lure Mexico into an actual in
vasion. Thanks to the vigilance Of
government agents this plot was frus-
trated and Germany's attempted in

Rintelen, Kaiser's
Fauorite, Sent Here
To Fornent Plots

Captain Rintelen, the generally rec
ognized head and pavmaster of German
dynamiters and incendaries in this
country, was convicted last February,
with ten other plotters, of an attempt
to blow up American ships. and was
sentenced to eighteen months in the
Atlanta penitentiary and to pay fine
of $4,000.
The same sentence was imposed on
the other conspirators. The judge who
committed them to prison said that
sentences to life imprisonment or the
death penalty would not have been too
severe, in view of the gravity Of their
offence.
When the war was started Rintelen,
who always had been favorite of the
Kaiser and had played as boy with
the Crown Prince, promptly was in
stalled in a safe post, newly created
Office under the general staff of the
navy. His title, according to his own

They point out that the societies

unless their decision is such as to win
general approval it cannot be taken
as the voice Of the German Americans
