EXTRADITIoN OF FORMER
KAISER TO BE DISCUSSED
AT PEACE. CONFERENCE

LONDON-The whole question of
the former kaiser's possible extradi-
ton will probably be discussed at the
peace conference, which is likely to
be held in Versailles before the end
of the year.
A United Press dispatch from Am
sterdam said that Wilhelm arrived
last Monday afternoon in Maarsen on
special train, to take up his resi-
dence at Count Won Bentwick's castle
The conditions on which the Dutch
government will permit him to stay
in Holland cannot be published, out
of courtesy, the dispatch said, but
they are equal to simple military in
ternments. The former kaiser is not
on parole. but is under moral obliga-
tion to remain in Holland and not do
anything contrary to public order, or
that would be likely to embarrass
Holland with her neighbors or the
other powers.
Wilhelm, whom the United Press
correspondent saw alighting from a
special train at Maarsen, and enter
ing an automobile, was very pale and
appeared to be nervous and tired. He
was dressed in civilian clothes, as the
result of request by the Dutch mill
tary authorities. He was accompa-
MED by his favorite dachshund.

the land of cotton and of cane. Gus
tom has stood sponsor for os many Of
the crimes enacted against the Negro.
The one that has been the cause of
more bitterness and prejudice than
any other has been the license of the
white man with the Negro woman
and the protest of the white woman
and the black man against it. The
liberty granted the Negro woman to
freely accept the association of the
white male seemed to increase the
desire in both parties to consummate
this liason to the moral detriment of
the black race. For tradition in the
South says that the white man can
do no wrong. So if there is wrong
done, only the black race is held re-
sponsible. The black man resents
this in every conceivable manner that
is within his power and sometimes he
suffers the loss, of his life when voic-
ing his objections too loudly. The
others of his race pray for the time to-
come when his women cease to be the
filching ground for the depraved white
man. AS to the white woman and her
cognizance of this condition it will
be found in her attitude and manner
when treating with the women of our
race. She is ever resentful, vindictive
and prejudiced, in all things concern
ing the Negro woman. Knowing of
these relations of white men and Ne
gro women is the one reason why the
Southern white women so bitterly op-
posed the admittance of the Colonel
women into the Red Cross.

SOUTHERN NEGRO'S
STATUS AFTER WAR
THOUGHTFUL AND STATESMAN
LIKE ARTICLE FROM PEN OF
PROMINENT SoUTHERNER.
BY ]. c. HemphlII

Now that the war is over and after
the peace of the world has been re-
stored. Nthere will follow inevitably a
long period of reconstruction. There
must be many readjustments-eco
nomic readjustments, affecting the
ownership of property, the acquisition
of wealth, the ownership and manage
ment of public utilities, the regulation
of private initiative, constitutional re-
adjustments, affecting the most cher
ished theories of government; legis-
lative readjustments. affecting the en-
actment, administration and interpre-
tation of the laws; political readjust
ments, affecting the right of citizen
ship and the condition of suffrage
The just solution of all these problems
will require the exercise of the wisest
and most far-seeing craftsmanship,
and to such solution the genius of the
country will be challenged One of
the most difficult of the issues that
must be dealt with, frankly and fair
ly, will be the status of the negro
not his strictly racial and social rela-
tions, which he must determine for
himself, but his political status in the
country at large and particularly in
the southern states. The people of
the south know what reconstruction
mi nc nh fc Nv
meaning fanatics, unbalanced Samari-
tans, and power loving politicians. The
horrors of the reconstruction period
of the south were burned into the very
soul of its people and in the new re-
construction that will follow the wind
ing up of the present struggle the
people of the southland particularly
the white people-must take the ini-
tiative. Sensible of the infamous
course of the managers of the first
reconstruction and it's bitter results
and adapting the language Of the pres
ident, they might very well say: I'VE
do not think the same thoughts or
speak the same language of agree
ment."
In round figures there are 11,000,-
900 negroes in the united States, of
whom 100000 live in the south. The
problem belongs to the south and
must be settled by the south-the
white south and the black south work
ing together and in the spirit of ex-
act justice between the races.
The Question Already Up
The question is pressing itself for
consideration in advance of the time
when it must be settled, and many
thoughtful men among the leaders of
southern public opinion are already
giving serious attention to the sub
ject. At a recent meeting of the
Fortnightly club of Lexington, Va.
the question was discussed in a paper
read by Col. J. M. Patton, professor
of modern languages in the Virginia
Military Institute, the great school of
the southern soldier. made famous by
Stonewall Jackson. Colonel Patton's
address was based largely upon con-
versations with his brother. the Rev.
R. w. Patton, who has made sym
pathetic study of the subpect. contend

GOMPERS INTRODUCES LABOR IDEAS ON PEACE
League of Free Nations and Liberty of All Working
 men Proposed.

Laredo, Texas, Nov. 15.-Discussion of peace occupied much of the time of the pan-American labor conference her etoday. A resolution embodying the peace plans of organized labor in America was introduced by Samuel Gompers late yesterday.
 The resolution in brief proposes 8 league of free nations, elimination of political or economic restrictions to benefit some nations and embarrass others, recognition of the rights of small nations and no reprisals or ter ritoriaI changes except in furtherance of the welfare of the peoples affected.
 Secondary principles of the resolu- ton, affecting chiefly the wage work CTS, declare human labor shall not be held as an article of commerce; that there shall never be industrial servi- tude except as punishment for crime that free speech and free as- semblage shall not be abridged; that seamen of the merchant marine shall have the right to leave their vessels when safe in harbors, and that the eight hour work day and child labor law shall be maintained.
 Delegates planned to adopt this resolution today and complete all other business, including the formu- lating of a plan for unionizing Mexi- can workmen in the United States.
 President Gompers expressed grati- tude over what already has been ac- complshed by the conference toward establishing a firm foundation of con- fidence and regard between the work CTS of all the nations of the Americas.

PEACE NEWS BREAKS
 AMERICAN MORALE
Men In Cantonments in This Country Lose All Interest In Military
 Life

Washington, Nov. 15.-Cessation of hostilities in Europe and disappear ance of the prospect of meeting the enemy on the battlefield has brought an immediate loss of morale among American troops at home that is re- garded at the war department as somewhat alarming. It is understood that steps to deal with the situation -already are being prepared.
 Upon news that the armistice has been signed the mental attitude of the individual soldier is said to have undergone 8 marked change. Instead of bonn barding his immediate supe- riors win queries as to the probable date of entraining for the seaboard, he became anxious as to the date of his release from service.
 More serious are reports by some commanding officers that their men are exhibiting a tendency to view themselves as already released from the strict routine of the camps. It is understood relatives of soldiers who have absented themselves will be asked to assist the authorities in hay ing them returned promptly to spare the families the disgrace of having an armed guard sent, and with a, view to mitigating the punishment of the offenders.

Wilson May Attend.

Washington, Nov. 15.-American delegates to the great peace confer ence are understood to have been se- lected by President Wilson.
 Discussion in well-informed quar- ters today of the probable personnel of the delegation centered upon four men. They are. Robert Lansing, sec retary of state, to head the mission; Colonel F. M. House, now in France attending the inter-allied council as the personal representative of the president; Elihu Root, Louis D. Bran deis, associate justice of the supreme court.
 The belief is growing here that President Wilson himself will attend the opening session of the conference, though not to sit as a delegate around the peace table.

Ghent. Wednesday, Nov. 3 (By the Associated Press) There is no or ganized authority yet in Brussels, but, with comparative calm and dignity, the Belgian capital awaits the coming of the armies of liberation.
 On Sunday three delegates from the republic of Hamburg arrived at Brussels. Standing on a balcony, the military commander of the city ad- dressed a crowd of 5000 soldiers and civilians.
 Three million Germans have been killed during the war;" he said. That Is sufficient. Let us have peace"
 General Von Falkenhauseny the German governor general of Belgium, received the delegates and in the meantime French and Belgian social ists addressed the crowd Then a sailor nimbly climbed up to the bal cony and nailed red tablecloth to the railing amid cheers.
 Military Governor Resigns.
 After an interview of an hour with the delegates, General Won Falken hausen reappeared and announced that he had resigned and had accepted the delegates terms. These were: First, immediate peace; second, that telegrams be sent to the front in structing the soldiers to return to Ger many; third, that no orders be given without the assent of the soldiers committee; fourth, that all units, from division to company, shall elect repre- sentatives to the soldiers committee
 The governor general asked that the Germans depart peaceably and re- spect life and property. German of hcers then of their own volition began to strip the insignia from their uni forms. Some of them, however, were sullen and depressed.
 Von Hindenburg Wants Peace.
 A letter has been received from Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, who was at Bingen- on-the- Rhine. It was read to the crowd. It said
 ''I am heartily in sympathy with the regenerative movement. Soldiers must obey the orders of the supreme sol diers' committee. Let us have peace"
 Some soldiers then entered the park which has been closed to the public for four years. They smashed the marble slabs surrounding the beauti- full ponds, broke their guns and threw the gun barrels in the water They then formed a procession and, sing ing the Marseillaise. paraded through the city behind the Red Flag.
 The only bloodshed in Brussels oc- cured on Monday when a patrol de- tailed by the soldiers committee to keep order, fired upon disorderly crowd, killing twelve civilians and wounding about thirty. The crowd had disregarded the firing of a blank voIIey by the soldiers.
