 Attacks of the Germans along the ront from Rheims to northwest of soissons are still halted everywhere. The Germans ossayed an attack but it was met with sharp repuises. There seems no doubt but that the allied line las been sufficiently strengthened to withstand the shock troops of the Ger mans.

JURY DECIDES MULATTO Is 4
WHITE MAN.

Detroit, Mich.-A jury in the Court
OF Judge Alfred J. Murphy yesterday
decided that Francis II. Warren, one
of the attorneys in the case submitted
to them was il white man. Mr.. Wary
ren is in fact mulatto and he claims
his father gave him more than his
share Of kinky hair. He cannot pos
sihly be taken for white man. but
it IS said he was discussed more in
the jury room than the case the jury
had retired to consider and that the
jury finally voted him a white man.
apparently because Of his skill in the
trial Of the cause.
They returned verdict for his
client for $500 damages. The case
grew out of an assault and the suit
was for damages in civil action, the
attorneys for the defendant were
State Senator James Murtha and Mr.
Eugene Mistcrsky, all of the litigants,
the attorneys, the jury and the court
with the exception of Mr.. Warren
were white people.

BELOW THE MASON-DIXON LINE

AS is too we'll known to our road
ers, in all Southern States thero are
laws requiring the separation OF the
white and colored races in public
places, including street cars, and In
Richmond conductors have strict or
ders 10 see that the law is obeyed.
Under this law the colored passen
gers are required to occupy the rear
seats and white passengers tho for.
ward seats of the car, only one point
of contact between the two races be
ing permitted under this law. In 9th
er words, there cannot he q white pas
Senger, then colorcd passenger and
then a white passenger and SO forth.
There must be only one line Of divis
ion.
1t is obvious therefore that white
passengers as soon as they board tine
car should move to the front as far
as possible filling back TO the rear,
colored passengers taking the farthest
seat back and filling UP toward the
front. This is the law.
Aside from obcying the Jaw, by NOV
ing up TO the front Of the car uncom
for able congestion in tho rear Will
be avoided and the passenger will he
ready to al.ght promptly from the
front exit at the proper time, thus
speeding up tho service. Whereas the
colorcd passengers will be able to
alight promptly frcm their nearest
exit the rear door.
When the conductor cans Move
up Front Please" remember that he
IS doing this in order to maintain
the proper separation Of races rcquir
ed under the law and is at The same
tine asking you to 90 something that
will add to your comfort and conven
iccne-just Ike whcn you arc request
cd to buy Liberty Bond, you really

received in this office somo days ago
My delay in Acknowledgment has
been due to my absence from the
city.
1 have read what you have had to
say in justification of Governor
Peasants attitude with sympathetic
attention. You appear wholly to mis-
understand tho text OF our appeal to
the Governor. or have not read it.
am sending you Il copy of tho appeal
since it may not have been printed
in fun in the Louisiana papers. Tho
facts therein cited arc that since the
United States entered tho war Louisi
ana has lynched eleven Negroes with
out trial and that six Of these lynch
ings have occurred since January 1,
Of this year.
The question raised by us Is not to
be answered by an affirmation that
Governor Pleasant is unalterahly OPP
posed to mob violence. We need no
assurance Of this character as, with
out knowing Governor Pleasant per
sona,ly we are fully prepared to be
liCNc that he as an individual is as
much opposed to mob violence as is
the writer. The point is that Mr..
Pleasant is Governor OF Louisiana aud
that 4 mere verbal affirmation of his
belief in law and order and of his op
position to mob violence is not Suffi
cicnt under tho circumstances. We
ask you to imagine what Governor
Pleasant would have done II since
the United States entered tho war q
year ago eleven white men had been
lynchcd by Negroes in your state. The
facts are that Louisiana's laws have
been flouted and that in no case have
the lynchers been brought to trinl.
There is nothing that would please
us better than to be able to testify
that tho Governor Of your state was
SO much opposed to mob violence that
he did not rest content with voicing
his opposition but that he took action
that would result in the lynchers DO
ing brought before a court Of law for
trial.
Furthermore our appeal to Cover
nor PlcaS,.nL was addressed TO the
peoptc OF the State of louisiana Tor
whom Governor Pleasant is but inc
agent. For this reason we addressed
copies OF it to the Chambers OF Com
mercc of Baton Rouge, Shreveport
and New Orleans. These repeated
lynchingS Of colorcd men for crimes
for which the state has provided
ample means of punishment arc an
afiront against the nation rs II whole
and are no longer the concern of Il
single state.
One of the best means of educating
the masses in the communities or
your state to a realization OF the nb
horrcnt features Of lynching would
he to have lynchcrs tried III tho rcgu
lar courts of law.
| am in receipt Of y letter from
group of colored men i'll your state
who express an entirely different opin
ion than that expressed by you. |
quote the following:
"rhc thinking men of our raco con
denim the action Of Mr.. Vance and
appreciate in the highest terms your
very patriotic action in calling upon
the Governor for action in this case
Our correspondents also assert that
nothing is being done in Louisiana
to educate the white masses in tho
various communities to the aDhorrent
features OF lynching. We are also nd
vsed by them that your leadership
among your race is not as you would
allow us to believe.
Very truly yours,

IT REALLY HAPPENED!

exceedingly noisy argument about the

aniiliN OF gas and modern explosives.
he listened attcntivcly as the talking
BOYS wildly argued and disagreed on
the most deadly weapons now i'm use
on the Western front. He was
amazed and could hardly realize that
such hel!iSh and destructive things
could ever be devised by man. Sud

fire and practically cleared the black

clarcd, while parts OF others were
so tossed about, the coroncr'S dcpu
ties said it would be impossible to idcn
tffy such portions as might DO event
ually found.
At the stations of the interurban
street car lines and at the Pernsyl-
vania railroad stations of the various
communities for fiftecn miles OH eth
er side of Oakdalc were assembled
women with the head dress ana cos
tunes OF Red Cross workers on their
way to Pittsburgh to participate in 4
monster parade. News of the cXplos-
ions flew from borough to borough,
and as with one impulse the thought
was inspired that the Red Cross work
crs were needed Mt Oakdalc more than
at Pittsburgh. Abandoning all
thoughts of parade the women flock
cd to the afflicted area by automobile
and by trolley ready for any sacrifice
or service for which they might be
called.
And these women lent valuable aid
in bringing order and system out or
the chaotic condition among the pan
ic stricken families of workmcn.
Scarcely any ono who lived through
the explosion is able TO tell q coherent
story of the happening.

when tho second explosion occurred"
Tonight portions OF human bodies
are being picked up mile and more
from the plant. Residents about l0en
ncrdale reported seeing tho bodies OF
men flying through the air and early
tonight arms and legs were being re
ported along the railroad tracks three
fourthS of mile from the Aetna
plant.
Presidents OF the ncighhoring Dor
oughs report the scene as one rcscm

clouds Of brown smoke rose in the air
in dense volume, carrying with 1t
sutIocating gaseous fumc that spread
over the countryside. These fumes
and those Of sulphuric acid that had
been released kept off any one who
would attempt to get TO the plant on
rescue work.
When the injured began to arrive
at the railroad station in Pittsburgh
the Red Cross procession was at its
height. Without waiting to finish the
