To the Editor of The Tribune:

column on the goth inst. relative to
lynchings in the South Traveller"

for that reason would like to add
few words to what has already
been so well said by you, as l am
also a native Southern man. My an
cestry, both paternal and maternal,
held slaves and fought to maintain
that right of ownership in the war
between the states. l feel qualified
to make a statement on the subject
of the race question as one who has
knowledge and understanding Of the
Southern Negro. Not all the crimes
against white women are committed
by the blacks; there have been many
instances where an innocent man has
been lynched and afterward discov-
cry was made that the perpetrator of
the deed was white man disguised
as a Negro, even to the wearing of
a woolly wig.
You surely stated truth in refer
ence to Negro women. AS long as
Southern white men may outrage the
virtue of the latter with impunity
they must anticipate the same treat
ment toward their own women by
some of the criminal blacks. 1t is
the old law of reaping and sowing;
the law of compensation that has
governed the human race ever since
it came into being ON this earth. If

ODD FELLOWS DEFY
RULING OF SUB-COM.
OF MANAGEMENT

New York, Aug. 2S.-What is des-
tined to be one of the bitterest fights
waged by the members of any organi.
zation whether civic, fraternal, relig
ious or political, is that which faces
the members of the Grand United Or
der of Odd Fellows in America.
For years the members of the ex-
ecutive body known as the Sub-Com-
mittee of Management (the members
of which are elected at session of the
Biennial Movable Committee), have
been terrorizing the members of the
various subordinate lodges throughout
the jurisdiction, to so great an extent
that they now seek to spread the Ger
man spirit of Kaiserism in their every
act. The most recent ruling of the
Board of the Subcommittee of Man
agement, which consists OF nine men,
is the order seeking TO nullify the
convening of the Nineteenth B. NJ. C.
which was scheduled to meet in the
City of New York on Monday, Sept. 9.
According to the General Laws of the
Order, Law V, Sections /, and 8, the
delegates elected by each subordinate
lodge shall comprise the members of
the B. NJ. c., and they shall decide
the day and date, time and place of
each succeeding biennial session.
The members of the Subcommittee
of Management being elected by the
delegates to the various B. NJ. C.'s,
are purely the creatures of such, and
ordering the postponement of a ses-
sion that was fixed by the B. M. G. in
convention assembled. With the hope
of carrying into effect their personal
ambitions which plainly show evil
dences of German Kultur. the men,
bers of the Committee, headed by
Grand Master Edward H. Morris,
through the Odd Fellows Journal (the
official organ of the order) issued
mandate last January tending to call
off the session of the Nineteenth B.
NJ. c. With the country thrown into
the Worlds War when the Allied
Forces are fighting for Government of
the People and by the People, think
of Governor of the State, or the Presi-
dent of the United States sending
forth such a proclamation to the peo-
pie of the electorate saying that as
war measure there shall be no cleo
ton of State or National officers.
Any such order promulgated by the
States or Nations Chief Executive
making themselves perpetual office
holders would be contrary to the mer-
its of the Constitution of the United
States, and serve as just cause for
rebellion.
The members of the Order in GER
tain sections of the country have
therefore risen in righteous wrath, and
are determined to hold the Nineteenth
B. NJ C. during the week beginning

You Have to Register!

Questions of men past forty-five,
but not yet forty-six have kept tele-
phone wires of local and district draft
boards here busy answering this par
ticular question:
IF 1 am past forty-five do l have

The answer is:
"Yes, if you are not 46 years of
age"
The section covering this, which is

male persons who shall have attained
their eighteenth birthday and shall

A person who registered under the
former law, of course, does not have
to register second time.
