EUGENE p. BOOZE.

Mound Bayou, Miss, Dec. l3.-At
regular municipal election held here
this week Eugene p Booze was again
defeated by the present incumbent, b.
II. Creswell, for mayor of the town OF
Mound Bayou, together with the en-
tire administration ticket, by a vote
of 2 to /.
1t will be remembered that Booze
has been trying to get into office here
for several years, and he once ran for
alderman and received only thirteen
votes. Later, by Misrepresentation TO
the governor, he secured appointment
as mayor in an effort to oust the pres
ent administration, but also lost that
in the courts. And now he has been
decisively defeated at the polls.
Mound Bayou repudiates and refuses
to place at its head any man taking
the stand he took against Perry How

WHAT OF THIS FOR HERoIsM OF
RACE?

with the American Forces in France
Wounded and taken prisoners by the
Germans and for two days kept in
dugout on the side of hill which was
under shell fire alternately by the
Americans and then by the enemy, two
Colored American privates were res
cued by their comrades after fory-
eight hours of fighting. Owing to cen
sorship regulations regarding wounded
soldiers it is not possible to give the
names of the two men.
The privates were captured in the
region of Chateau Thierry, along the
eastern edge of Argonne forest, just
before Chateau Thierry was captured
by the Americans. While the Germans
were endeavoring to decide what to
do with the wounded men the Ameri-
can artillery opened up and the Ger
mans determined to hurry to remove
them to nearby dugout, and four big
Germans crowded in beside them.
For two days the artillery, first of
mans, swept the hill, and so intense
was the shelling that even the Ger
mans did not attempt to escape.
On the third day the American in-
fantry began going forward, and when
the crest of the hill was reached there
was a rush of the Americans to the
place where their two comrades had
been wounded in an encounter while
making reconnaissance in the early
morning. Leading the men was Capt
Howell Foreman, of Atlanta, Ga, who
had little hope of finding the two men
alive.
One of the Americans heard a sound
from within the dugout and one of the
detachments, in German, ordered those
on the inside to.surrender, threatening
to shower the dugout entrance with
hand grenades at once. The reply
that came back was in perfectly good
American and four husky Germans
stepped from the case with their hands
above their heads. A moment after
ward the wounded Americans has come
into their own again Despite German
machine gunners firing from the edge
of the forest and from commanding
heights to the northwest, the Ameri-
cans were carried back over the hill
from which they had come more than
two days before, the four German pris-
oners marching beside them.

MISS CHAMBERS SCORES AT

Good Crowd of Music Lovers Hear
Fine Program.

In the presence of a crowd of
music lovers that was intensely

ist of ST. Paul M. E. Church, made
her debut as concert organist at
the First Recital of the Season at
Bethel A. M. e. Church, Druid ave-

afternoon at 4:3o. Miss Chambers
was extremely judicious in making
of her program each of the lead

sented thereon by a real musical
gem. Miss Chambers played with
a poise and grace that were de-
lghtfully charming, and while per-
fectly at home with each number,

paragraph allegiance to the United
States is also sworn, which does not
seem compatible with the spirit of the
Ku Klux Klan.
Seek White Supremacy.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Mills is very
much interested in getting the govern
ment in the hands of the white race,
thereby making possible white suprem-
acy. This argument falls of its own
weight, especially in view of the fact
that for the past quarter of cen
tury our people in the South have
been stripped of every vestige of polit-
ical opportunity, and their voice in the
government has been null and void.
The birth of this organization has
been viewed by some as having been
born for the purpose of further depriv-
ing our people of political advance
ment. 1t is said that the real purpose
of this organization was not born be-
cause of any fear of the hindrance OF
white supremacy, but rather for the
purpose of sitting the very soul and
conscience of the men who have gone
forth in the fields OF France and Of
fered their lives for the establishing
of world democracy. 1t is feared by
the promoters of the Ku Klux Klan
that on the return of these soldiers
who, having tasted liberty and tree
dom, will ask for more generous por-
ton from the hands of their own gov
ernment than that heretofore meted
out to them.
Order Warrants investigation.
Mr.. Mills may yet find that this or
ganization, which he is endeavoring so
earnestly to put into operation, having
as it's aim and object the suppression
of the black man, may be called upon
to do a greater work in the suppress
sion of the spirit of bolsevikism
which is threatening to disturb the
functions of this government And in
the ultimate end it may be found that

the Department of Justice, for it is
plainly evident that in the turbulent
times no organization should be per

A NEGRO AT

Upon the broad and capable shoulders
of Emmett j. Scott, we with a sigh of
satisfaction place the mantle of re-
sponsibility, burdened though it may
be with the woes and trials of a race,
and urge that he be selected to go to
the Peace Table to plead the cause for
all black men. For just once, for the

Among the various race groups
whose interests, many and varied, are
destined to be effected by the delloer-
ations at the Peace Table, the Negro
must take his stand and insist upon
a righteous adjustment of his case be-
fore the bar.
The part black men have played in
this tragic struggle for world democ-
racy has unquestionably earned Ior
them consideration which this great
court OF justice cannot and must not
ignore. Democracy, to be genuine
can be neither black nor white, but al
wavs must be lust plain democracy.
Nothing else will do. Nothing less
will suffice to make it lasting good
to the world This is no time to side
step the issue. The cards must all be
laid upon the table and the character
of the game must be above suspicion
Without justice there can be no last

growing out of the approaching peace

moment in world affairs.
Japan and China are preparing to

WHITES ANTICIPATE RACIAL

 Commenting before he had been ad- vised of the action of the committee, Secretary Baker said he would lay before the committee every fact in connection with the war departments activities except those which through publication, would endanger the lives of American soldiers.
 Asked if he would answer questions from congressman other than mem bers of the committee, who might be present, he said the committee natur- ally would direct the course of the session it arranged as 1t saw fit. He added that for his part he would be glad to answer any questions which the committee approved from mem bers of the committee or from any other person who might be present.
 The war department took a step to- day regarded by some observers as forestalling the senate committees proposed legislation for a munitions director by appointing Edward R.
