JEWISH SYMPATHY.

The Jewish people that have lived
IN the old world who saw that process
sion under banners could sympath.ze
with those in tho procession. They
know we'll enough Of tho injustices
that that procession protested against
Every one Of us felt tho unrighteous
ness that was written on those ban
ners was the strain of America Our
America that Is loving and dear to all
OF us.
More than so years ago the Negro
cs were set free. And they should
enjoy such freedom as that in Eng
lish colonies where black and white
live together under the. English flag
in peace and harmony, There the
Negro does not rape the white woman
and the white man does modest the
Negro man. And there the Negro also
has full Pledged suffrage and equal
rights and the law Is no dead letter.
But in most of the United States
the law is Il dead letter in it's appli
cation to black men. For what SIN
has the Negro been prosecuted and
lyncnCd? The only kind God gave
him Il black skin and different appear
anco from others and this is the only
way to account for this persecution
MT. Zanwcll's definition for anti
scmitism is dislike for those that are
unlike. When the sin Of hatred for
those different from ourselves obtains
all other sins may be expected TO fol
low.
One Of those banners said 1--WE are
prosecuted and called lazy when we
do not work and slaughtered wren
we do work. >"
EERE AGAINST THEIR WILL.
The race is not at fault for the
great Negro question. in this country
ne did not create 1t. Negroes were cap
tured and brought here against their
will and used as slaves in tilling the
land. while such work was thought
by many whites to be against their
dignity. But the broad minded people
OF America protested this slave sys-
TEN So after four years Of bloody
war the black slaves were set free.
This freedom do not come from the
good will Of those who profitcd by
the system. but from the Federal gov
eminent and was taken by many
white people Of tho south as an in
suit ana JltJuSIlCc lHCll. Al.u many
have done their best to make cmanci
patton a dead letter. And not being
able to make the Negro work against
his will they use many other ways to
timbitter his life. Negro children do
not have fair play in education and
so often Negroes do not get justice
in the courts and they are often
lynched for ordinary larceny. The
whole life of the Negro in this land
ras become unsafe. And for the last
three years the Blacks have gone
North and have found some Of these
evils and bitterness here that they left
in the south. The East st. Louis Mas
sacre was the answer to this immigra
ton. So ten thousand Negroes have
marched in that sad procession and
twenty thousand Negroes lined the
streets through which tho procession
passed.
The Negro race has silently protest
cd against the East ST. Louis slaugh
ter. And that march should awaken
sympathy among tho deep thinking
people of America.
COL. ROOsEvELT's PROTEST.
And It is sad that this East st.
Louis violence did not call forth n
general protest from tho public press

Dear If you only knew the
number of miles l have hiked in the
past month and the very few hours
of rest you then would not wonder
why YOU have not heard from me.
| am sure on active service now and
if you should ever get in behind a
bunch of retreating Germans you
would then know what activity really
is. Our division, which is the best
one over here, is now on rest after
about 80 days at the front.
Mama, l have seen some wonder
full sights and some that shall never
fcget, and it is just now that fully
realize just what war is. | have had
several narrow escapes and many
thrilling experiences. On our way
to the font we passed through any
number of towns and several cities
which have been completely des-
troyed, and in some of them not
even a wall is stnding. Everywhere
large shell holes and other signs that
showed Just what France has been
through with. But it would do your
heart good to come into one of the
many towns where French civilians
have been recaptured who have been
prisoners since 1914. Such happy
bunch of people / never saw, and all
lust have a fit over the Americans.
Hoke Hill has been over the top
and come out without a scratch. l
had a long talk with him. He is in
good health and getting along fine.
| also saw Lewis AGREE, and he, too,
had been over and was looking fine,
in fact, better than / have ever seen
him, and he seems so cheerful. We
are expecting peace any day now, as
the news is so encouraging.
l am feeling great this morning.
took a nice, hot bath, the first in
about a month. 1t is rather diff
cult task to get bath now, but l
got me one of Fritz old helmets
which he left behind and used it for
bath tub,
The villages near me have all only
short time ago been occupied by
the Germans and French civilian
prisoners and most everywhere you
