TIE OUTLOOK

1t, is a difficult task to tell any one
just how the present war Is going
The restrictions are such that one
cannot tell just what he should say
or just what he should not say. The
outlook at present Is not bright for
the Allies. Germany has developed
a resourcefulness that is nothing
short Of astounding. Aided by the
collapse of Russia and Roumania, un-
told stores of all kinds have fallen
into her hands. Much Of these sup
plies came directly from this country.
AS Il result, she controls Belgium,
Northern France. Serbia, Montenc-
gro. Roumania, Russia and Il part OF
Italy. The people in these countries
are under the German yoke and arc
paying taxes into the German treas
ury. We include in the term, Ger
many" Austro-IIungary, Bulgarias
and Turkey. All Of these places are
governed practically from Berlin. AS
surprising as has been the success
rcsourccfulness and astounding en-
crgy OF this country under tho lead
crship Of President Woodrow Wilson.
1t is admitted that the full force
of our present preparedness can not
he felt until next year, but the rapid
ity of our present movements has
been marvellous. There is much
ahead of us to be done but We have
struck the. stride and wc arc doing
it. The outlook may be dark at pres
cnt but by united effort ali along the
line We may reach the goal that We
seek. Can we get another million
men OH tho other side? Can we feed
and supply them after We get thcm
there? We can do it if we all work
together.

EDITOR TRoTTElcs COMMENT

Now comes Editor William Mon
roe Trottcr whose editorial columns
for some time have been lacking in
the number OF columns furnished as
to the opinions OF the sage Of that
journal and takes credit for having
made the able and distinguished Dr.
w. e. B. Dubois. the recognized
leader of the radicals. He Is now
assailing himself upon the virtual
charge of racial heresy. The proper
thing to do is to get Mr.. Trotter in
the War Department service at Wash
ington or somewhere else.
This aggressive American citizen is
the nearest approach to tho fighting
Roosevelt that we have On our side OF
the line. He should be given a place
in the American army where he can
exercise his specific gifts in this di-
| rection. Why not DR.. Dubois decline
the captaincy upon the condition that
our good friend Trotter accepts it?
or course Mr.. Trotter would not
write the kind of editorial that DR..
Dubois has written, but what differ
ence would that make?
Should DR.. Dubois decline, we
, beg leave to offer the name Of Will
, liam Monroe Trotter, Of Boston,
Mass, as q most efficient, energetic
! assistant to Major Joel II. Spingarn.
Still when we come to think the mat
ter over, should Mr.. Trotter decline
, to consider the appointment and Ma
, jor Spingarn and Secretary Baker
| would decline to consider Mr. Trot-
,, ter, we would be placed in a most
| embarrassing position. But what
! has the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Spe-
! cial Assistant to the Secretary Of War
! to say about the matter? If they
want fighter, they will certainly find
one in the brilliant editor Of the Bos.
ton Guardian.

The argument is logical and his ut
terances will be heartily approved by
every law-abiding citizen in tho Unit

is evident. Ono blast upon his buglc
horn were worth II thousand men,"
1t may be we'll to state that the pres
ent sage of Tuskcgec," DR.. Robert
II. Motion, Hon. Emmett j. Scott and
others arc largely responsible for
this dclivoranco at this time. We

IlONlBAL MAJOR WRITES
"PATRIOTIC PRAYERS"

The war is giving to the young
colored men a fine opportunity to
make contributions both in a literary
and practical way, and it is interest
ing to see that they are measuring up
to this opportunity. One OF the fin
est literary contributions that has
been made and one that has won the
commentator of all those who have
seen it, has been a little booklet Of
patriotic Prayers" WRIT by Honi-
bal Major OF this city.
The little booklet which has been
dedicated to the Allies is valuable
both from all artistic and literary
standpoint and on the front cover is
the Goddess of Liberty, surrounded by
JAN OF the flags of the Allies, under
which arc found these words: "For
the Triumph OF Right over Might, and
the establishment of Liberty, Peace,
and Righteousness Throughout the
World"
The prayers which breathe the very
highest and Hottest of sentiments are
The National Prayer which is written
In commemorative af the 142nd an
niVersary Of the Nations Independ-
ence; The International Prayer which
expresses the hope and desires of the
warning nations; THANKSGIVING Pray
er for Jcrusalcm and it's Restoration
| and a General Prayer, which aptly
fits the needs Of the Negro race at
this time.
The prayers arc well written and
the little booklet makes valuable
souvenir and one that ought to be in
| tho hands Of every man and woman
of the race throughout the country.
The booklet has been highly endorsed
by President Wilson, ex-President
Roosevelt, tho Rev. DR.. W. II. Brooks,
the Secretary Of the War Department
and other influential people. 1t sells
for twenty-five cents and can be had
by addressing Mr.. Major at 2219 Sew
lenth avenue. The effort Is one that
in time will give Mr.. Major a big
| place in the literary contribution to
| the nation.
