Still Work for Americans.

Washington. Nov. 11.-Signing Of
the armistice with Germany, which
brings the world war to an end, does
not mean that the great American
military machine will cease to operate
at once. America must play an inn
portant part in .disarming and guard
ing the enemy n until this work
is completed, even The movement Of
troops to Franco will be continued,
although on a greatly reduced scale.
During the interval between the
cessation Of hostilities and the con-
clusion of the peace conference, it is
assumed that the major portion Of
General Pershing's expeditionary
forces in rance must be retained
there. 1t is possible also hat for rea-
sons of international politics some
American garrisons may be kept in
disputed territory ever after the ac-
tual peace negotiations have been
brought to a close.
Troops which have seer the longest
service in France will be returned
home soon to be replaced by new men
now in this country who will per-
form guard or other duty overseas.
There are more than 1000, 900 men
now in camps in the United States.
The question of disseminating the
calling of men to the colors under the
WV oSl WILL ll1S Cllullls
of hostilities has been under consid-
Grafton. 1t is known that General
Crowder's advisers have favored can
ceiling all outstanding calls as soon
as the armistice is signed, but this
matter must be passed on by the gen.
eral staff. The movement of a large
number of men to camp was due to
begin this morning under the Novem-
Der calls which embrace about 300,-
600 men.
Return home of American naval
forces-battleships, destroyers, SUBJ

A BIT OF PHILOSOPHY

Does it ever occur to you that you
owe it to yourself as well as to the
Negro race to read a book, news
paper or magazine written by a
Negro? You cannot judge a race of
people just by looking at them casu-
ally, or by having that race work
for you in a mental capacity.
Of course, if you have the least
inclination to know a people, you
ought to show your good sense by
studying them in the better and mob
Ter phases of their humanity. 1t is
upon this proposition that we are
obliged to conclude that the white
race does not know scarcely anything
at all about the real, the intellectual.
and the moral worth of our Negro
people, while on the contrary we
know as much about the white race
as they do themselves. We are in
such matters more given as a race to
genuine honesty and we honor that
race for its achievements. We know
them because we read everything
they write from the daily paper to
Greek and Hebrew syntax. 1t is
indeed strange that there is so little
charity brought forth in the human
wish to determine the worthwhile.
We do hot care to say that it is al
ways prejudice why this is so. We
rather prefer this analysis.
If the Negro race was more ag-
gressive in the matter of uniting its
various forces so much so that it |
would find greater consideration
from the financial standpoint, the
economic interests of the race would |
not go begging. In a great measure
the Negro is to blame. For it is true
ne must conduct himself so that he

Immediately the interests Of the
white man because disturbed. II The
Negroes cash register grows fat and
the white mans cash register grows
thin, he at once begins to consider
that the Negro has a little power at
least, and so it is in many avenues
of racial development and progress
If the Negro exercises thrift, and
shows the sterling business qualities
of man his being colored at one
being to decline, and his fnancia
worth begins to rise.
If We would be known, and read
about, talked of in an elvated sense
and respected as a race. and have
our newspapers, magazines and books
read by white people, just as We
read their newspapers, books and
magazines then we've got to disturb
the present system of barter and ex-
change, to some extent at least By
putting together the strongest re
sources at our command including
a united moral, intellectual and fl
ancial propaganda building it to star
