s5, 900, 600 Loan to Liberian Republic
The second Of this series OF edi-
torial conference achievements is the
authorization by the Government of
a loan Of s5,0O0,000 to the Republic
of Liberia, in line with the request
of the conference. This fund is al
lotted TO aid in the rehabilitation of
that country's public finances, which
have been reduced to dangerously
low ebb by the cessation OF trade, and
to develop the production OF rice and
other foodstuffs for the allies, as well
as to place on the market many Of
the greatly needed products with
which the little overseas republic
abounds. Much of Liberals COM
Imerce was with Germany, and this
has been totally cut off since the for
mer's declaration of war against the
Teutons.
The granting of this s5,0o0,000
credit through the United States
treasury had it's inception several
months ago when DR.. Ernest Lyon,
the Liberian consul-general, made APP
plication on behalf Of his government
for same, and was helped forward
quite perceptibly by meeting at the
white house later, when committee
laid before the President the puciliar
needs of Liberia and made plain the
faithfulness of her people to the
cause of the allies, emphasizing the
fact that Liberia is the natural ward
lof this powerful government and that
its welfare must be safeguarded by
smarica in her hour Of peril.
| The members of the-committee, who
Joined in the appeal TO the President
were DR.. Robert r.. Motion. principal
Iof the famous Tuskegee Institute;
Emmett j. Scott, secretary Of Tus-

SOME FACTS ABOUT AFRICA
BY Rev. S. B. A. Campbell, Native Of
Sierra Leone, British, West Africa

OF all the continents, Africa is sec
ond in size to Asia alone, and three
times the size of Europe. Africa has
about 12,800,000 square miles ef ter
ritory to Asia's 100000 and about
half larger than either North or South
America.
There is room yet enough on the
lower end Of the African Continent
for the whole OF Europe and her
entire inhabitants. Africa is bounded
on the north by the Mediterranean
Sea, on the south BY The Atlantic and
the Indian Ocean, on the east BY ths
Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. On
the west by the Atlantic Ocean.
The principal Mountains are the
Rewenzora, Abeokuta, Futa Jallon.
There are two great deserts univer-
sally known as the Sahara and the
Kalahari. The chief British colonies
are Sierra Leone, Lagos, Gold Coast,

RIGA today is one Of an excellent char

prophecy Ethiopian shall stretch

There are various schools Of pri-
mary and secondary training includ-
ing the Fourah Bay College for the
purpose Of educating the African

suited to a tropical climate can be

cause Of the fertility Of soil The
chief products are corn, yam, cocoa,
coffee, sugar-cane bango, dates, po-
tatoes, paln-oil, bananas, plantain,

The interior produces rubber, ivory,

RALPH w. TYLER TO REPORT
MILITARY HAPPENINGS ON
WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE
United States Agrees to Loan
s5.000,00G to Aid Republic Of
Liberia

Washington. d. c., Sept. 16.Two
notable additions have been made
within the past few days to the list
Of big achievements that may be
Justly credited to the influence of the
recent conference of colored editors
and leaders in Washington.
One Of the direct requests of the
editors conference in June was that
d reliable colered news writer be sent
to France to report the doings of the
colored troops on the western front
in France, for the information Of the
anxious millions of colored Americans
In this country and to the end that
the correct story Of the valor and pa
triotic devotion of their brethren
might be told fully and in a sympa-
thetic vein by one of their own blood
and kindred.
In compliance with this request, the
committee on public information has
designated Ralph w. Tyler, of Co
lnmbus, Ohio, former auditor for the
navy department at Washington, as
q regularly commissioned wax CORES
pondent, to specialize on the condi-
tions surrounding the colored troops
In France and to make daily reports
of the activities and engagements in
which the colored soldiers are prorni-
nent He will be on the staff of Gen
eral pershing, COMMANDMENTS chief
of the American Expeditionary
Forces overseas. Every facility has
been provided by Mr.. George Creel,
director of the committee on public
information, for the prompt and ac-
curate gathering Of all facts that
may be of interest to the colored peo-
pie.
First Negro to be Named as
War Correspondent
Mr.. Tyler is the first colored man
TO be named as a regular war CORES
pondent by any government in the
world. He ID native Of Ohio. Fol
seventeen years he served In various
departments on the Columbus Even
ing Dispatch, and the Ohio State
journal, which gave him exnerienc.
in the technique Of the newspaper
craft and afforded him opportunity
for association with many infuentia
newspaper men. This intimate con
tact with such forces will be invalua
! BILE to him in his labors as a war cor
respondent The fact that he has /;
wide acquaintance with correspond
ents now at the front, will make i
possible for him to get news concern
ing colored troops which, perhaps, NJ
other colored correspondent could Sc
cure.
The claims Of a number OF nel
were full considered in connection
with this important assignment, bu
Il Mr.. Tyler was finally selected as th
most efficient Of those available. I'm

Throughout his reign Of quarter
Of century the kaiser had but one
ambition, "to teutonize the world" He
subordinated everything else within
his ambitions. In 1871 Germany had
no navy or merchant marine.
1t was through the kaiser's demands
that both were raised to second place
among the nations. It was the same
with the German armies. The vast
German military machine was actual
ly the child Of the kaiser5s ambition.
Because he taught and rracticed the
theory that only THROUGH miitary and
naval supremacy could Germany ar
rive at "place in the sun" the kaiser
