Whatever this life
May hold in store,
When we sit right down
And think it DER,
About where to leave off
And where to begin,
The first thing of all
Is the will to win.
Though we dig in the earth
Or trail a star,
And the road we choose
Doth lead afar,
In the deserts waste
Or the markets din,
Wen never get on
Without the will to win.

Apprehension that Villa and his ban

ed by State Department officials to be
the. reason for the concentration OF
Mexican government troops opposite

It is admitted that trouble would fol-

Should the thieves be followed into
Mexico by American soldiers there
would be danger Of a clash with some
Of the Mexican government forces. The
presence on the Mexican side Of the

PROTEST SPIRIT OF MOB
FORCE AGAINST NEGROES
1875 signers Of PetitionaT From Atlanta
Tell President Of Eject on Col
ored Men in Trenches.

A vigorous protest against the spirit
Of mob violence toward negroes has
been sent to President Wilson. tho cab
met. members Of Congress and state
officials by a committee Of residents Of
Atlanta, Ga
After relating the case Of the colorsd
man in detail. the committee closes
with an appeal to the government to
take steps to stop discrimination which
the 125 signers of the letter claim il
being exercised against their race.
During the past three decades nearly
three thousand American colored mon.
women and children have suffered
butchery and death in almost every
conceivable form at the hands of the
lynchers Of America" reads the ap-
peal. Last year alone the number thus
murdered was 222.
"THe reported causes for such appal-
ling brutality run tho gamut from al
legged violations Of the honor of white
women to disputing the word of white
men. The fact, however, that only
about per cent of these murders are
reputed to have been inflicted upon &C
cused yiolators of womanhood argues
almost conclusively that the desire to
protect womanhood Is almost negli-
Eible among tho so-called causes OF
lynchings."
In conclusion the letter recalls that
'.the effect on the morale Of the black
men in the trenches. when they reflect
that they are fighting on foreign nelqs
in behalf Of their nation for those very
rights and privileges which are denied
at home, might be discouraging."
