THE KILLING AT NEWPORT
.. NEWS, VIRGINIA.

wi
The uniform Of the army Of the
Uni'ed States has always been regard
Cd with sacred reverence by the mill
tary authorities of this country and
by the Congress. 1t remained for a
white guard Of the United States
army to fire upon colored men wear
ing the same uniform. AS ahe color
ed men were unarmed and were not
encroaching upon the property OF
the national government, the act of
these white troopers in killing one
colored trooper and wounding two
others is all the more incXcusable.
In rush OF that kind, who could
hear II command to halt and who
could tell whe her or not such IL
command was authoritative or not?
The very able Secretary of War viii
have an opportunity to review this
case, we hope and our good friend,
Hon. Emmett j. Scot, Special AS.
sistant to the Secretary OF War viii
have an opportunity OF exercising his
influence in this mater. Certainly,
according to The newspaper accounts
of the ARRAY, the killing OF one of
the troopers and the injury Of the
oilers are wholly unjustifiable.
White troopers and eolored ones
were mustered in to kill alien enc.
mics not to annihilate uniformed
friends.

 BILL DECLARED NJ WAR MEASURE
Early Adjournment Plans Seem Baked by Failure to Accomplish Much Pro- gress in Legislation

Though talk on an early adjournment uf tho legislature is on the increase. little progress is being made with the program. Most of the so-called meas ures which have been advanced in one house have been given a set back in the other 'Unfavorable action is be- ing taken on the bills extending the franchise to citizens engaged in the military and naval service outside the state. One house or the other has manifested hostility to the measures for the protection of the civil rights of the soldiers in their absence. But in all such cases there have been as- surances that there is no opposition to them in principle in form and that eventually all these measures will be passed.
 Bill Termed not a War Measure
 One of the bills suppostd to be well within the legislative program failed yesterday. and very important one, the so-called AmericanizatiOn bill. It was indefinitely postponed in the sen ate and the way for similar fate for it was paved in the house when the committee on appropriations recom- mended that disposition of it. The report of the committee was accom- nanied by an opinion from the office NA tue dAAOiitE Neii'Aat AlAHN NAt 'iii vas not a war. measure, in the sense that its operation would in any way aid in winning the war. The opinion held its purpose to be good and the objects it sought. desirable, but it was the belief of the law advisers office that it was inopportune.
 Fear of Cost Real Objection
 There was a belief, too, that in part it was unconstitutional. But the real objection against it was that no one knew what it would cost to put it into operation. Estimates of the cos ran as high as S250. 900. It was stated that it would involve the building of many new school houses and the em- pioyment of many teachers. The mem bers argued that an these matters should have been ascertaincd by the framers of the bill and they sug- gcsted that legislation on this subject in the next regular session should be preceded by a survey.
 The senate committee on education had reported the bill favorably after amending it SD that the expense would be borne, 90 per cent by the state and 10 per cent by the county

,!' no.IS .l.I[.S ATTACK . PLANNED TO AID
 RECALL IF NAVY
British Expert Says That
 the Hun Thinks America Will Now Demand Ships Be Brought Back Home

LONDON, June 5.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-In a statement tonight, Archibald Hurd, the well known writer on naval affairs, took the view that the German submarine operations off the American coast were intended to try to draw American naval vessels from European waters.
 No Direct Military Results
 The raid was not undertaken said Mir. Hurd, with the idea of obtaining direct military results, but mainly ~s demonstration. After nearly four years of warfare the German mind can be read with d fair degree of ac- curacy. It was assumed that the peo- pie of the United States would be in timidated; that they would demand impossible measures of protection, and the navy department would reconsider it's plans for cooperation in hunting down submarines in European waters, even if some of the American destroy CTS on duty on this side of the Allan tic were not immediately recalled That is a course of action that would suit Ger~'H ny admirably.
 U-Boats Having Hard Time
 The U-boats are having a very hard time. Since the beginning of March the enemy has had -~e vessels at sea than ever before. The number de- stroyed has been larger actually and relatively, and the loss in tonnage since the beginning of the year has been steadily reduced. If they can ease the almost unbearable presence of American ships in European waters by demonstration off the American coast they will have achieved their main purpose.
 Want to Upset Allied Plans
 Tt is intended by the Germans to disarrange the plans of the American and British naval authorities for fight ing U>-boats where they are operating in large numbers and can be dealt with, as experience has shown, witt the greatest success.
 T do not ina zine the American public will foll into the snare the Ger mans have laid. thus exposing thei transports and store ships destruc- tion.''
