CLAIM 40 TROOPSHIPS
HAVE BEEN DESTROYED
Germans Also Assert That United States
Cannot Possibly Send 100000 Soldiers
Month to France-Declare the
Late Corners Would Be
Poor Soldiers.

Amsterdam, Aug 2i.-An antidote to
the opinions of Generals Won Blume and
Won Liebert, who see menace in a
large American army on the western
front, already has appeared in the Co
logne Zeitung. To calm the German pub
lie, the Tuesday edition Of The Zeitung
contained a long article attempting TO
prove by statistics that America cannot
possibly send 100000 men to Europe
in a month. The article declares that
more than 40 troop ships already have
been sunk 1t continues:
IF the Americans at the front are
fighting well, that does not need to cause
surprise, for il is the fine flower of
American manhood which now is at the
front, namely, the old regular army,
plus about 10000 of the most sturdy
and most adventurous elements, which
all nations have, who volunteered at the
outbreak Of the war Then there will be
contingents recruited from the New Eng.
land states who are the best educated
and keenest fighters, because their heart
is in the business.
so we get an aggregate of from 200,-
600 to 100000 picked men, but once these
are used up the picture viii be altered
because they cannot be replaced"
The Zeitung believes compulsory mil.
itary service is widely opposed and is
being evaded in the United States and
it builds hope on the slender basis that
American casualty lists win increase
this alleged repunance, The article con.
cludes with these arguments:
"The Americans are not supermer
militarily, and less so than in other re-
spects. America may build standard
ships, but she cannot turn out standard
soldiers.
america has done more than many
expected, even in America, but despite
all surprises American expert opinion
that the full weight of her military
power viii not develop before 1919 Of
even 1920 still holds good"

Record Year for Canning Indicated.

Reports from manufacturers Of can

turing home canning supplies, an aver

Of 300 per cent in the demand for rub

tieh. What 4 mighty power for tho
good OF all concerned, the colored man
would be il organized in the common
branches or industries! The place held
by that tntruding STRAW boss" is
now held by Il man of color. 1t is well
known that there exists an idea that
the colorcd man must be curtniled
III his development and held within
certain bonds. In some. regions this
is popular theory in dealing with
HIM. This Is in direct opposition to
the laws OF nature and is destined to
failure no matter by whom attempted.
In the very economy of things no race
can set arbitrary boundaries to the
development of any race and say to
such under memorable edict: "rhus
far shalt thou go and 10 farther"
An effort like this will carry its own
defeat and failure. Questions like this
must he met Ike all others and settled
OH their merits. No harsh policy and
unjust treatment will avail. Truly
the race situation in the South is not
one which calls for the exercise of
any policy which approaches persecu
ton.
Unjust treatment and rank discrimi
nation will not do to get the best
results. Men who employ large mum
bers OF men of color must learn to
treat the men fairly. No setting Of
boundaries and attempting to hedge
them about with arbitrary rules OF
circumstances under a government
as flexible as car system is will ever
accomplish the ends sought For tho
worthy and superior colored man will
go beyond them and find niche of
his own making where he will estab
lish himself and command respect.
We only ask for the exercise of simple
justice i'll a free government and FOR
the consideration Justly due us. II
any bugbear that has ever risen in
the brain Of unthoughful white men

What a wonderful habitat this
world would he If the plans of Him
who fashioned it were carried out by
men as intended from the beginning.
The bugbear Of social equality, race
domination. race extinction ETC.. have
all faded into the misty past because
such we're not entertained by the
thoughtful men Of neither race.
For q moment forccasing the future
it requires no philosopher with micro
scopic sharpsightedness nor seer with

The German officers may seek to
hold large American 1iOtilla along
the Grand Banks, thus leSscning the
strength OF tho coast guard at other
points. The answer made to this
possibility is that adequate forces are
now in service at every vital point
to protect all ships.
"rhc department has taken stops
to protect fishing on the Grand Banks
and to cOunteract tho effects OF this
raid" Admiral Benson said. The
maximum military advantage the
Germans can hope to obtain" ho ad-
ded, "was the depletion OF the supply
OF canned fish for tho army"
Admiral Benson refused to place
much credence in the declaration
made by the submarine commander
to the captain of the Triumph that
six U-boats are operating in Amer
lean waters. Very careful checking
of all information regarding the
activities Of these craft has con-
WINGED naval officials that only three
