TEXAS PROTECTS
NEGROES FROM
CON-MEN
lEy Assncintch rrcssl

Dallas. Tex. Aug. l.--EXploitatior
iof the Southern negro who has reached
"a new stage of prosperity as result
of record cotton prizes and high wa
geS of the past few years, has gained
such proportions that federal and
state authorities are preparing tor 4
drive on persons who swindlc TIE ne
/ gro out of government war securi-
ties
Unscrupulous statesmen have flooded
the South, telling the negro that his
Liberty bonds, War Savings and
Thrift stamps are of less than face
value, and offering to take them in
exchange for oil or mine stock or
dazzling bits of jewelry.
Negroes all through the South
bought freely of government securi-
ties. Sometimes they did not know
just what they were buying, negro
leaders say, but knw the government
wanted money and quickly emptied
their purses Some thought they
were giving instead of investing
They were better off than ever be-
fore. Those who had farmci on
shares the preceding years had OBJ
tanned more money for their cotton
than they ever expectd to possess and
those who worked for wages in the
fields were paid twice the wages of a
few years ago.
A liter just sent out by Professor
tension work in Texas says negroes are
being offered cheap and often worth
less goods with the assurance that
thir savings stamps and Liberty bonds
are not of par value and will not be
for several years. 1t is then casual
" suggested by statesmen that the ne
gro may be dead before his holdings
reach par value and emphasis is laid
on the enjoyment he would get by the
immediate purchase of their. goods,
possibly cheap trinkets, a worthless
sewing machine or musical instru-
ment
Professor BIackshar has written
circular letters to the leaders of the
race in the state urging immediate
action to stamp out the evil by d cam
paign of education.
The investigation so far has not dis
closed enemy propaganda behind the
exploitation, but the injurious effect
on the government campaigns has
aroused the ire of state and federal
officials.

GERMAN CORN CROP
Is REPORTED SHORT
lHv Associated Prcssl


New York, Aug, 1.-The yield of
the German corn crop has been re-
duced and is barely sufficient fer the
feeding of the population, according
TO a statement made by Privy Coun-
cill0r Gleinert of the Imperial Ger
man Bureau before the food commit
tee Of the Richstag, according to the
Berlin Tageblatt of June Ia.
In reply to demand by the bour-
goise parties that the farmers be al
lotted a large quantity of a certain
kind of corn (called in German Hin
tcrkorn, black CORN, as this would
have a conciliatory effect, in view OF
the many enforced deliveries and nu-
merous compulsory measures, kleinert
said that the so-called "Hintel korn
could not be released in general for
fodder purposes, for the reason that
unfavorable experiences had been
made in that respect in 1916. Not
withstandng a careful system Of con-
troll, extraordinarily great difficulties
were encounterd and these Difficult
ties would increase now that "the sit
uation as a whole is more tense than
in 1916 and that the total yield OF
our crop has been further reduced and
barely suffices for the feeding Of the
population"

'ol. tn Entente Allies to bomb German
i,lets in Belgian and French towns,
50 they have frequently had occasion

fleet.
Naturally the German propagandists
in Luxemburg, as in Belgian, have
tried to arouse hostility against the
by exploiting the air raids.
But again, as in Belgium, thc,r eff
forts have proved singularly unsuc-
c ssful. The Luxemburgers persist,
i. spit of all propaganda, in 'agard-
i. ? the German invadr as the real
c,lprit; they recognize clearly that

iand observers back from the front
where the Allied planes did sucn re-
markable work, not only in scouting
and distracting the enemy, but actual
ly in breaking up formations and at
points checking the onward movement,
/ have urged concentration on thai form
ipf training.
British trainers, detailed to Ameri
can aviation camps, have been liberal
in their praise Of the new fliers from
overseas, their only criticism being
that the Americans are "a ri. too
keen" Their tendency has been to
'go in for flying stunts rather too early
lin training, but even this the train
'ers have admitted is a valuable fault,
although not one to be encouraged.
1t has been pointed out to the Amer
leans that team work as well as On
dividual efficiency is prime Tequi-
site and the Americans have stcadied
themselves to the routine their train
ers have found makes for general ad-
vancement if not for individual ap-
,plause. Fancy flying, the acrobatic
work that once found favor ana drew
heavy gate receipts at aerial eNhibl-
tions in the United States, still is
taught, but the learning Of that form
of flying also has come TO be regarded
merely as routine and wholly incident
Sto the steady, low-flying desirable for
attacking camps and troops in.orma-
tion.
+, Accidents have occurred in the
camps where the Americans are being
trained and a few men have been
killed, but the records show thar the
percentage is far less in England than
in the United States. Those in train
ing here are inclined to attribute the
difference more 10 luck than 10 any
thing else, although there also is
pointed out the probability that the
average aiipiane used in England is a
better made machine than the aver
age that has been used in the United
States.

A PLEA TO BAPTIST WOMEN FOR
SUSTAINED ENDEAVOR.
2017 Rose Street,

2017 Rose Street,
Lynchburg, Va, Nov. IS, 1913.
TO the Members and Friends of the
Wcman's Baptist State Educational
Convention OF Virginia.
When the news of tho surrender
of the Germans and their allies was
hcraldcd over the country, one among
tho first things to come into our mind
| was, What effect will this have upon
our Educational Work? And after
| considering the many phases of this
great problem, we were forced to the
conclusion that this should be glor-
ious year for our Convention.
First. We should be represented In
larger numbers than last year.
Second, Instead Of the suspense
and unavoidable gloom that hung
about us, despite the efforts put forth
to be cheerful, there should be every
| where thanksgivings and praise.
Nearly half of the time is already
gone. Soon We will be in the midst
or the Winter season, when so many
Circles will he unable to hold their
regular meetings and often when the
Winter is past it finds them far be-
hind in their work! Thus they are
forced to undertake too much in the
little time that remains. This could
easily be avoided by forethought on
the part of the officers and members
One plan is, instead OF just paying
our monthly fee, begin as soon as
possible after the Convention and
pay twenty-five cents or moro and
you will find out when Spring comes
you will have given the two dollars,
| or so near 1t that 1t will be very easy
to finish the amount. Don't rest at
the beginning of the Conventional
year, but be so you can rest about
May or June, with all your obliga-
lions paid.
Now, let us go up to Roanoke, not
burdened with tho work, but rested
| and with songs OF gladness on our
lips. Get out of tho habit of wait
ing until everything else gets all the
money 1t desires, then save the scraps
for the Woman's Convention. Why
should We be the last to receive con-
sideration? No one will deny that
the cause for which we labor is
primary matter, then why not give
it primary consideration all the year
round.
If you have not made up your
mind to go to Roanoke make it up
today and work to that end If you
wait until June to make up your
mind, you may not be able to make
the arrangement. The President of
every Circle should go. If tho Cir
Gle does not send you, take that eva
cation Money and go. You will be
well paid and will certainly enjoy it.
Some other member should also be
present that they may get the in
spiration. VIII YOU think this over
and write nc your opinion?

TONERS to intercedc and lobby for
