We have never known two injus-
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prospered by be-
ing as just to the white man as it. has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-coclSed upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, We
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority Of white people
will always side with a white man
when a question arises between him
and one of our color; still certain col
ored newspapers, without making any
investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne
gro race do identically what they con-
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself

When your dealer asks you six cents

choice of cutting down the size of the
Sight Draft cigar, using inferior tobacco.

We believed you would rather have
the same old Sight Draft quality, tho

RISKS TAKEN BY
DCROSS MEN ABROAD

Ths dangers un0er which American
Red Cross members at the Italian
front are working are described in the
following cable to the New York
Times from Rome;
AT Christmas time, Major Vernon
s. Prentice, of New York, in charge
of the ambulance service, distributed
cigarettes and chocolates to the sol
diers in the Piave first lines. In one
OF the trenches an italian Colonel OBJ
served that the Astrians were setting
up a battery on the opposite side OF
the river. At his orders the Italian
gunners smashed it.
An officer who accompanied the
Americans suggested that they move
on, since the Austrians would surely
reta'iate. No sooner had they turned
bend in the trench than they heard
a fearful explosion. The part of the
trench they had just left had been
destroyed. The Americans turned back
and helped 10 extricate the soldiers
from the debris. One of the party
picked up an Austrian hand grenade
which had been thrown from the enc
my's lineA less than 80 yards away,
and tossed it into the river, where it
exploded
Major Guy lowell OF Boston, OF
the permanet mission to Italy was
dining in his hotel in Padua when
it was struck by an air aider's bomb.
