On Tuesday. March 5, at A

the office of the Bellevue Board
of Trustees, First Avenue and
26th Street, between Committee
interested in the question of Sc
curing the appointment of Negro
internes of the Bellevue and AL

Mr.. Eugene X. Wood, Execu-
tive of the Nationional Urban

pose of the conference stating
that the Committee wished to
get some expression from the
trustees of these hospitals on the
question of admitting qualified
Negroes to their interne staff.

ARMSTRONG AND
WORLD FREEDOM
BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
president of Hampton S Board of Trustees.)

he carried 1t through. He organized
the Prussian army with the tradition
of drill and effectiveness derived from
the time of Frederick the Great and
his father. He added to that and
strengthened it, and then he began
his plan.
l am not telling you anything that
is merely inference from what he did.
l am telling you what he says himself.
He carried on three wars-wars in
which he SO arranged it that they
were all wars of aggression against
Germany He took from Denmark
Schleswig- Holstein and annexed it to
Prussia. He wiped Austria off the
map of Germany, and took Hanover
and Hesse Cassel and Frankfort and
united the southern German states to
him by an offensive and defensive al
lance, and then he waited until Napol-
con should declare war against him.
He prepared for the war and then led
Napoleon on to declare it. Then he
defeated France and he took Alsace-
Lorraine and an indemnity of $1,000
900 900, which he put into the army
He crowned his king German emperor.
He went back to Berlin and sat down
and digested in peace the bits of ter
ritory which he had chewed off from
the rest of Europe.
This turned the heads of the Ger
man people. Such an unusual series
of military successes put them in
state of exaltation that was unsafe for
them and unsafe for the world. They
said: 1--WE have done this by the ap-
plication of scientific principle to the
art of war. We will apply this to the
arts of peace" They went into manu-
featuring, into agriculture, into the
field of business, and they achieved
wonderful success. They did it under
Bismarck and they did it under Will
lam. They accumulated wealth. They
increased their prosperity. They in
creased their population. They looked
at themselves with perfect satisfac-
tion and with self-adoration that led
to their obseEsion. Looking back over
their success, they could not reconcile
themselves to their existence except
by close association with God So they
proceeded to assume that they were
the chosen people of God; that God
looked upon their work with satisfac-
ton and upon them as agents to car
ry this work to the other nations;
and as it had been won by force
military force--they created the Ger
man state into an instrument of God,
and, acting for God, they easily
reached the conclusion that there was
no consideration that could be yielded
to in the progress of that state. Thus
they abolished morality for the state.
They laid down the rule: There is no
international morality" Decency, hui
manity, respect for the obligation of
treaties-all disappeared when the in
terests and the progress of the state
were concerned. And that is our en-
emy-as dangerous to the family of
nations as a mad dog is in domestic
family. waiting only the opportunity
to strike when success may follow the
stroke.

ask why we did not know it before.

the N. A. A. C. P. were asked
to state the case for the Com
mittee.
Mr.. Jones said in part; ''The
colored people of New York feel
that there is a prejudice against
Negroes being admitted as in
ternes in Bellevue Hospital.
We would like to convey to them
from you a message that would
alter this impression.
We want to know if color is a
determining factor in your Sc
lection of internes. flour young
students of medicine felt that
they would be admitted on bas-
is of merit rather than color. we
are certain that more of them
would apply for the examinations
based upon which appointments
are made"
Mr.. johnson corroborated gen.
orally what Mr.. Jones had said,
and in addition he asked if any
law had been passed or is now
contemplated to require at least
one year internship on the part
of physicians before they might
practice in the State of New York.
twas definitely stated by the
trustees that no such law had
been passed, and so far as known
none is contemplated.
Mr.. Samuel Sachs said that
the colored people of New York
City should be told that any Ne
gro applying for appointment as
inferno at these hospitals would
be judged solely on ability and
merit, and that investigation of
any claims to the contrary would
be welcomed.
Request was also made by the
Bellevue authorities that list of
Negroes now studying in the
New York medical colleges be
secured and referred to them,
that they might be at any mo-
ment conversant with conditions
examined.
The. attitude expressed was to
the effect that ability and merit
are the sole qualifications for the
candidates, and that qualified
young Negro doctors may look
forward to a hopeful future with
respect to becoming members
of the inferno staff of Bellevue
and Allied Hospitals.

SHOW the value of these equalities of
only citizens of the United States, but
citizens of the world. Do not allow
yourselves to be misled by the thought
that peace is near. All these dealings
of Germany with the Bolshevild
amount to nothing except a moving
around on the chessboard for the ad
vantage of Germany, so that she may
acquire control of Russia and her sup
plies. 1t is enough to make one first
laugh and then cry to note the deal
ings of Trotzky and representatives
of the Bolsheviki with the armed
leaders of Germany for a peace-a
peace, of the world-a peace of the
worlds workers, as Trotzky says.
There is an old maxim that "he who
dimes with the devil must have long
spoon"-but the Bolsheviki spoon has
no handle at ALL
Now, my boys. think of General
Armstrong. He led a colored regi-
ment in the war for your race Would
he be pacifist in these days? Would
he fail to see clearly what is before
us tiow2 We should thank God that
we are in the battle now, rather than
waiting until these European coun-
tries, fighting our battle, have been
defeated by this monster of militarism,
so that we should have to measure
swords with it alone.
Do not listen to arguments of pa
cifism; do not allow suggestions that
are mere camouflage about coming
we whip Germany, until we produce
in the minds of the Germans a con-
viction that the policy they have fol-
lowed is all in vain; that it comes
from the devil and not from God; and
then they will attend to the form of
government that they ought to have.
They will become an amenable and
human member of the society of ma
tions again, and they will relegate the
Kaiser and the rest of the "Potsdam
gang to the place where they ought
to go.
~'here are nearly two hundred Hamp
to. students and graduate already in
the war. l hope there may be many
others. Do no give up your education
untE you are called. Do not think it
necessary for you to rush in until you
have finished, until you are called.
because you will be better men and
better officers when you are called.
But be ready Do not look forward to
speedy end of the war but grit your
teeth. Make yourself feel that you
cannot offer up your lives in a higher
cause than this; not even the War of
the Revolution nor the War of the Re
bellion offered greater reason for sac
rifice than this.
Now, God bless you, boys. and go on
with the Hampton spirit, for that is
the spirit that will carry you to the
victory we must have if the human
race is to live in Christian civiliza-

against the autOcracleS-
against one autocracy, and
that is Germany. The rest
are merely land company" merely
me, too" Germany is our enemy,
and as we understand Germany,
as we understand the psychological
condition and status of Germany,
we understand the war, and we
do not understand it otherwise. We
find that the cause which carried us
into the war, righteous as it was, is
only one phase of the greater cause
of the great World War that we are
now engaged in. 1t comes from the
insane obsession of the German peo-
pie, led by a Hohenzollern and the
Prussian military regime, that they
are carrying out Gods purpose in a
world domination for the improve
ment of civilization by the spread of
kultur by force. And you cannot know
the danger to the civilization of the
world, to the family of nations, of this
condition of mind deceased as it isl
of the German people, unless you
study their history. They are an in
tellectual people; they are a home
loving people; they are a music and
poetry-loving people; they are peo-
pie of great keenness, great tenacity
of purpose, lacking in humor and so
lacking in sense of proportion; and
when we knew them years ago, we
liked them. They were genial and
the Germans. 1t is not our business
to hate them. We will not hate them
after the war is over; but what we
hate is their purpose, their present
condition OF mind, and unless we
change that, the world is to suffer in
the future from constantly recur-
ring system of war, entered upon to
crafty the ambitions of the Hohen-
zollerns and the insane purpose of the
German people to follow what they re-
gard as their God-given destiny to sub
ordinate the world to their will in the
acceptance of kultur and their method
of instructing in it.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century they were twenty-eight differ
ent states-Austria at the head, Prus-
sia next, and twenty-six other states.
The other states were kingdoms and
dukedoms and celebrates, under the
rule of kinGlets, dukelets and electors
little despots governing by the dl-
vine right of kings, Then they had
a revolution in 1S4S by liberty-lovlng
Germans, who did not succeed and
were driven out and came to this coun-
try and made valuable part OF our
citizenship. Their blood in the civil
War was found on every battleneid
where they struggled, as they thought
and believed, for liberty and the sup
preston of slavery. Their descend
ants have made valuable citizens with
us.
The people they left behind went
under a different environment and
different education. Bismarck came
into their lives and planned the unity

PRIMARY ELECTION.

Primary election in this city passed off
quietly last Tuesday, many of the people
scarcely noticing that'an election was in
progress. Disagreeable weather and a
lack of contest on the county ticket had
something to do probably with the small
vote cast all over the county. The vote
in this city was less than 100. The only
contest in the election was on the repub-
lican county ticket between JAS. Keister
and Theo. Shoemaker for the nomina-
ton of sheriff. keister received 26 votes
and Shoemaker 20.
Returns from eleven precincts in the
county which had been received at the
county auditors Office up to noon yes
terday, friday gave Shoemaker S4,
Keister A. The four missing precincts
which had not been heard from are
Pringle, Argyle, Hermosa and Spring
Creek and it is doubtful if there will be
any material change from them.
On the senatorial contest in the coun-
ty Sterling received 20 votes to Byrne 40
in the eleven precincts reported.
On the democratic senatorial ticket
Rinehart received SO, CofIy IA, and
Kelly Is. There was no contest on the
democratic county ticket.

ECLIPSE OF SUN
POSTPONED ONE HOUR.

Denver, Colo. The total eclipse Of the
sun forecast to occur on June Sth, has
been postponed for one hour. This is
not the result of any error in the calcu-
lations Of the astronomers nor Is it due
to an order by modern Joshua that the
sun stand still, bat is chargeable to the
operations of the daylight saving law as
q result of which the clocks throughout
the United States were set forward an
hour on March 81.
In consequence the eclipse will begin
in Denver at 4:l2 p. m, will become total
at 5:24 p. m. and will pass from totality
at 5:24 p. IN. and will end at 6:27. The
same variations in the hours Of the
eclipse will prevail throughout the length
of the fifty mile belt, extending from the
southeastern corner Of Washington state
to the coast OF Florida, in which the
total eclipse will be visible.
This change in hours will not affect
the astronomers, however, as their
clocks still are adjusted to standard sun
time.
