Is in France, says editorially about
the enemy peace offensive:
Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of a compromise; let the
pacifists who are taking q peace by
agreement. let the s.delners who have
had enough Of war; let the secretly
inclined pro-Germans who think this
war should end without a decision
let them one and all know once and
for all that for the American Expedi-
tionary Force there is no such word
as Peace With the Huns unbeaten
The man who talks o. peace to-day,

The enemy peace offensive is likened
to the action of German machiue-gun
crews ia the Vesle fighting, when they
fought and killed Americans until
they were surrounded, then shouted
"Kamerad. "

The object of the Fourth Liberty

On TUESDAY, March S. at
o'clock a conference was held
in the Office of the Bellevue
Boa1d of Trustees. First Ave
rue Ind 2oth Street, between
Va Committee interested in the
question of securing the ap-
poin;ment of Negro internes
in the New York hospitals.
and the Board lrustees Of the
Bellevue and Allied Hospitals
Mr.. Wood briefly outlined
the purpose of the conference
stating that the Committee
wished to get some expression
from the trustees OF these hos
pitals on the question of ad
mitting qualified Negroes to
their interne staff.
Mr. Jones and Mr.. Johnson
were asked to state the case
for the Committee.
Mr.. Jonesssid in part he
colored people Of New York
feel that there is a prejudice
against Negroes being admit
ted as internes in Bellevue
Hospital. We would Ike 10
! sonvey to them from you a
message that would alter this
impression.
We went to koow il color il
a determining factor in your
selection Of internes. If our
young students of medicine
feltthat they would be admit
tedyon a basis Of merit rather
than color, we are certain that
more of them would apply
for the examinations based
UPON which appointments are
made,
Mr.. Johnson corroborated
generally what MIR. Jones had
said. and in addition he asked
ifany law had been passed or
is now contemplated to re-
ouire at least one year inferno
ship on the part Of physicians
before they might practice in
,.N,. State of New York.
It was definitely stated by
the trustees that no such law
had been passed, and SO far
as is known none is contem-
plated.
Mr. O'keeffe. Secretary to
the Boaro Of Trustees. cited a
part of his letter under date
OF February 7oth to Mr.. Tay-
lor, in which he said: "Rela- :
tive to the question OF inferno
ships such appointments in
Bellevue and Allied Hospitals
are made solely on ability and
merit of candidates regardless
OF race or creed.
Mr.. Samuel Sachs said that
the colored people OF New
Yok City should be told that
any Negro applying for ap-
pointment az interne at these
hospitals would be judged
solely on ability and merit,
and that investigation of any
claims to the contrary would
be welcomed. He further ex
tpressed = desire that he be
personally informed in ad-
vance concerning the number
Of Negroes qualifying for
such examination, and speci-
ally when any one OF them
