l. It should be we'll known to all
colored officers and men that no useful
purpose is served by such acts as will
cause the color question" to be raised
IL Is not question of legal rights, but
a question of policy, and any policy
that tends to bring about a conflict
! OF races, with it's resulting animosi-
Ties, is prejudicial to the military in
terests OF the 92nd Division, and there
lore prejudicial to an important inter-
est of the colored race.
z. To avoid such conflicts the Di-
vision commander has repeatedly
urged that all colored members of his
command, and especially the officers
and noncommissioned officers, should
refrain from going where their pres
ence will be resented. In spite of this
injunction, one of the Sergeants of
the Medical Department has recently
precipitated the precise trouble that
should be avoided, and then called on
the Division Commander to take sides
IN row that should never have &C.
Cured, and would not have occurred
had the Sergeant placed the general
good above his personal pleasure and
convenience. This Sergeant entered
theater, as he undoubtedly had a
legal right to do, and precipitated
trouble by making it possible to al
lege race discrimination in the seat he
was given. He is strictly within his
legal rights in this matter, and the
theater manager is legally wrong.
Nevertheless, the Sergeant is guilty
OF the greater wrong in doing anything,
no matter how legally correct, that
will provoke race animosity.
3. The Division Commander repeats
that the success of the Division, with
all that that success implies, is de-
pendent upon the good will of the
public. That public is nine-tenths
white. White men made the Division,
and they can break it just as easily

Divide HOnors, He Says.

France wants reparation. restora-

According to the statements made
at the Chamber of Commerce this
noon by Lieut. George NJ. Salvage, of
the French high commission to the
United States, these three things form
the sole basis of Frances demands at
the peace conference. He explained
that by reparation France means the
rebuilding Of her factories and none
tary restitution for the things done
which no money or labor could re-
store; by restoration France means
the giving back to France of all the
territory stolen from her by the Ger
mans, whether fifty months ago or
fifty years ago, and by guarantees the
giving of substantial assurance that
the first two points will be fulfilled.

For years, before coming to Tope-
ka Mr.. Yost was proprietor of the
Yost Yeast company. with factory and
headquarters at Arkansas City, Kan,
and is well known thru the state. Con-
tiruing his statement, Mr.. Yost said:

suffered with one of the meanest and
most obstinate case of rheumatism
person ever had, and during the
winter months and damp weather,
especially, I would just suffer agony.
Why. for years now, that is until
used Tanlac. my shoulders and arms
were so affected that 1 could not get
my hands up to fasten on my collar
and tie: my wife had to put them on
for me, and my knees were so stiff
and panied me so it was difficult for
me to walk No one knows, unless
they have suffered the same way. Just
what I did have to endure and 1 had
begun to think l would never find
anything to help me.

so 1 made up my mind right then and
there to try it and 1 could see some
improvement before 1 finished my
first bottle. This encouraged me to
keep up the treatment and while /
have just started on my third bottle 1
am already a 'dyed-in-the-woor Tan

to everybody and anyone who gets the
wonderful relief 1 have would praise
the medicine that did it. All the stiff
ness and pain has disappeared from
my shoulders and arms so that 1 can
now put on and take off my collar
with ease. In fact, all my rheuma-
tic pain is gone and while I am 20
years of age. 1 can get around spry
as I ever could. Not only has Tanlac
