ALLIES PREPARED
TO REDEEM RUSSIA
FROM GERMAN GRIP
First Step viii Be Armed Oc-
cupatiOn of VladivOstok
As Operating Base
By Robert J. Bender

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, July 23.-Allied action
in Siberia imp6nds.
President Wilson has completed an
announcement which viii set forth TO
the world the program of aid for Rus
sla, assuring the Russians and all peo-
pies that ours is not a policy of ag-
glandizement or aggression. Its issu-
ance awaits only receipt of the formal
acceptance by Japan of the interna-
tional proposition. This is expected
hourly.
The first step of the allies will be
to occupy Vladivostok with troops.
With this base definitely under al
lied protection the danger of armed
German forces becoming a greater men
ace in Siberia, will be countered.
The ac ion is not intervention. " 1t
is the foundation work for the eco
nomic assistance which is to follow.
President Wilson will outline speci-
1ically the Whole proposed course of
action and its purposes His declara
tion will be spread broadcast through
all countries of the world to offset any
effot by Germany to spread the false
rumor that the allies are aggressively
acting against Russia,
A force of trained newspaper men
will be sent into Siberia to establish
contact with Russians and disseminate
the news of America s program of as
sistance for the people
Action now is regaded as timely.
The Czecho -Slovak forces have "cut
the ice" in Siberia. The people of that
part of Russia are friendly.

man man power, The present engage
ment cannot be judged as if it were
major offensive. 1t is, therefore, per.
fectly in accord with every technical
consideration for General Foch to con
serve his own armies in face of the con
tinual arrival of fresh German reserv-
es south Of the Aisne. The interruption
of Won Hindenburg 5 supply system is
exerting inexorable pressure upon the
Germans. This work, however, is slow.
The same result would be accomplished
more rapidly by uninterrupted French
and American attacks. These assaults,
however, would certainly cause very
heavy allied casualties which is con-
trary to General Foch present prin-
ciples.
Won Hindenburg s strategic plans for
further offensives have been complete
ly demoralized by the French and Am
orleans during the last six days. This
is a sufficient result for the immed-
late future. 1t is certain that Won Hin
denburg cannot remain on his present
line for an indefinite period. He must
move still farther north toward the
Aisne. If he does not do so, his lines
of communication will grow increasing
ly precarious and the danger of disas-
ter will continue.
There is cause for satisfaction among
the allies that General Foeh has again
demonstrated his absolute self mastery
by slowing the American and French
assaults at this time General Foch is
by temperament and training an of
fensive fighter. Defensive warfare is
abhorrent to him. A leader with this
characteristic, but with less far-seeing
wisdom than General Foeh, might have
been influenced by the early success
of the Marne fighting to become deep
ly involved. General Foeh knows how
to wait. That is the best assurance of
final success of the allied cause.

A WORTHY APPEAL.

The National Race Congress of

courage our soldier boys over there
and to contribute in whatever way
they can to their comfort and welfare.
Prominent men of the race composes
1t will require at least 100000 to

and we issue this appeal to the pub
lie, asking for contributions toward
this fund. All checks or money or
ders for this purpose should be made
payable to A. A. Graham, correspond.
ing and financial secretary, who will
promptly acknowledge with official re

A. A. Graham, Box 1T, Phoebus, Va,
or Headquarters, 903 Third Street, N.
W., Washington, D. c. In order to
get the commission over there at an
early date it should be in hand by
December 1, 1918.
We earnestly pray that every unit
of Il congress, that the churches and
lodges throughout the country and
every one interested in the welfare of
our soldiers in France will respond
to this appeal at once. We call upon
pastors especially to put this matter
before churches.

Seilie river excellent results have fol-
lowed the energetic offensive action
of this doughty wing of the Allied
Army, the Germans losing heavily in
killed and wounded and prisoners. In
nearly every instance, these raids
made by troopers of this Division
have been made under the command
of colored line officers.
This record made by these colored
soldiers must, Of necessity, arouse the
greatest enthusiasm back in 1.-THE
States" and merit the plaudits of the
race for the gallant fighting machine.
So wonderful have been the achieve
ments of the 92nd that the Division
Commander was impelled to send out
a bulletin of congratulation, to be read
before each unit of the Division. This
proud record must forever set at rest
the question of colored soldiers fol

officers, and it must forever establish
the efficiency of colored officers, who
have done splendidly under the most
trying circumstances.

BURIAL OF coLoRED SOLDIER AT
SEA.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.-Dr.
Thomas Jesse Jones, who recently
went to France, under the auspices of
the Y. M. G. A, has just sent Mr.. EN-
NETT j. Scott, Special Assistant, War
Department, the following account of
the burial of a colored soldier at sea:
A colored soldier was buried at sea
today. The flags on all the ships of
the fleet have been at half-mast all
day. 1t matters not that the soldier
came from a lowly cabin. 1t matters
not tina his skin is black. He is a
soldier in the army of the United
States and he was on his way to fight
for Democracy and Civilization.
The announcement of his death was
signalled to every commander and ev-
cry ship prepared to do honor to the
colored soldier. AS the sun was set
ting in the West, the guard of honor,
including all the officers from the
commander to the private, came to
attention. The body of the Negro
trooper wrapped in the American flag,
was tenderly carried to the stern of
the ship. The chaplain read the solmn
burial service. The engines Of the
fleet were checked. The troop ship
was stopped for the only time in the
long trip from America to Europe. The
bugle sounded taps and the body of
the American soldier was committed
to the great ocean and to God.
The comradeship of the solemn &C.
casion was the comradeship Of real
There was neither black
nor white. North nor South, rich nor
poor. All united in rendering honor
to the Negro soldier who died in the
of humanity.

WESTERN UNIVERSITY DEFEATS
LINCOLN HIGH.
By Louis r. Lautier.


The much Wanted Lincoln High
School eleven met its Waterloo at the
hands of the Western University foot.
ball squad when the Blue and Gold
eleven upset the dope and handed Lin
coin High a defeat to the tune of 2
to 0 on the muddy gridiron at Asso-
citation Park, Friday, November 29.
This was their annual classic, and
the followers Of the two camps were
out in full force to root for their ia
vorit, Licoln High having it's band
on hand but not to cheer them on to
victory.
Western won the toss and chose to
receive the ball, Lincoln getting the
choice of goals. After the first Skin
mishes were over Western was forced
to kick the mud laden pigskin, which
not over ten feet. Lincoln then,
amid the wild cheers of their follow
ers, carried the fight into Western'a
territory and was aided by a fifteen
yard penalty, which put the ball on
Westerns ten-yard line; but Lincoln
was held for downs and the ball went
over.
Western Makes a Safety.
The second quarter opened with
Western madly ripping the Lincoln
line. After gaining about thirty yards

by blowing the right side of the Lin
coin line, Western was held for three
downs and punted. Johnny Smith,
Lincoln right end, fumbled the kick,
the ball going beyond the Lincoln goal
line, and just as he picked the ball
up to make a broken field run, Rus.
sell, Western left end, tackled him,
downing him behind his goal line and
giving Western the points which
eventually won the game. From then
on, Lincoln was simply o%utclassed.
Last Hall.
When play first began, Lincoln High
attempted to uncork several trick
plays but lost ground on each of
them; while Western had played
straight football, blowing the Lincoln
line at will. So when the second half
began, Coach Taylor's men resorted
to old style football, but his team had
been beaten. In the third quarter his
comeback stunt would not work, and
the ball was mainly in possession Of
Western University.
The fourth quarter opened with Lin
coin High making a last desperate eff.
fort to retrieve victory. Another fiji
teen yard penalty and a first down
put the ball within Westerns five
yard line. 1t was first down and goal
to gain; but the battered and worn
Lincoln High eleven lacked the punch
that would have sent the ball over and
given them the victory. With but two
yards to go, and victory, they were
held for downs. The ball went over
and Western University carried it
through the Lincoln line for a dis
lance of seventy yards in four downs.

THE INTERSTATE LITERARY AS
ISOLATION OF KANSAS AND
THE WEST.

The Twenty-eighth Annual Session
Of the Association will be held in
Wichita, Kansas, on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, December 26, q and
rs, 1918. Every effort is being made
to make this session historic. Twenty
seven years having elapsed since, in
Topeka, the Association was organic
ed, the Executive Committee desires
the active, cooperative support of all
societies, that a program may be pre-
sented commensurate with the occa
sion; thus making this session a cele-
bration, 1t is desired that every per-
son keep this idea in view.
There will be many new features
this year, including a symposium in
which the Presidents of all colored
colleges of the Middle West have been
asked to serve. Further, the Hon.
James Weldon Johnson of New York
will address this meeting.
There should be no reason so great
that the attendance will suffer. The
great war demands that the darker
races should preserve their education
al societies; that the intellectual eIe-
ments should not be crushed out, but
that they might receive the most scru-
pulous attention in view of the fact
that a reconstruction period must fol-
low this conflict.
Getting behind the Interstate sim
ply means hat you are furnishing the
stimulus for inspiration and encour-
agement-a thing every colored per-
son needs in these trying times.
Reasonable rates are offered. The
cost of boarding and rooming facili-
ties will not exceed n dallor and a
half ($1.5O) a day.
Any literary society, debating club,
or other organization rendering pro-
grams of a literary or musical char
acter is eligible to mebership, and will
be admitted upon sending to the Cor
responding Secretary on or before De-
cember first, the name of the organ
ization and city in which such society
is located. If not on the roster of the
1917 session, a membership fee of
$3.50 must be paid. Societies record
ed at the 1917 session retain their
membership, by sending the Core
spending Secretary $1.OO on or before
December 1, 1918. Each society thus
enrolled is entitled to three delegates
and to be further represented by one
of this number on program.
Contests-One evening will be given
over to contests in oratory, original
poetry, original music, and declama-
ton. To the winners, first and Sec
ond prizes will be awarded. These
contests will be open to anyone ex-
cept persons graduating in any of the
above branches.
Rules. Program number must
be sent to the Corresponding Secre-
tary on or before December 1, 1918,
that they may reach the Executive
Committee before the time set to ar
range the program, otherwise they will
not be printed. 2-All papers are lin
tilted to ten minutes.
If your society is not in session,
convene it. If no society, organize
one. Help us to help our people.
While the literary program will be
the most important feature of the ses-
sion, the social side of life will not
be overlooked.
