THE WAR IN EUROPE.

Tho Allies arc thoroughly frighten-
cd over tho stupendous drive now be-
ing mado upon tho western front. A
surgng wave OF troops have been
martialcd there by Field Marshal Won
Hindcnburg and the fighting qualities
OF the French and British have been
thoroughly tested. That they have
been able to withstand the assault is
surprising. Hundreds of thousands
OF tho Germanic Allies have been re-
ported killed and wounded as a re-
suit OF the total disregard Of the loss
of human life.
President Wilson is much worried
over the inability to respond moro
quickly to the urgent call of the Allies
His great speech at Baltimore recently
was intended to restore both courage
and confidence to the sorely pressed
Bclgians Frenchmen and English,
men. They have suffered disaster after
disaster. The action in choosing Gen
cral Foch as the titular and actual
head Of the allied forces is recognizcd
as being the direct result OF President
Woodrow Wilson's insistence that such
course be followed.
1t was an admission too that the
French commanders are superior to
the British in meeting the German
menace The question now arises as
to whether the combined forces can
hold out until material and over
whelming American help arrives up
on the scene Of action. The message
Of the distinguished occupant OF the
White House was intended to convey
directly to all parties concerned, both
friend and foe tho information that
the American Republic is determined
to see this war through to the end.
Colored men arc proving themselves
to be an important factor in the con
test. They are cnlist:ng mall parts
Of the United States. IF the war lasts
long enough they will have won a
place in the affection Of the allied
world. Despite tho misrepresenta

THE ILLINOIS LlNCHING.

Tho lynching of German in Col
linsyillo, Illinois has stirred tho coun
try in way that tho lynching Of q
colorcd man could not have done.
Germany Is liable to exact reDrisaI.
Lynching is unjustinable. If tho man
could not DO convicted III court OF
law he should be permitted to 60 free.
Now they are trying to change the
law so that anybody can be convicted
just as they changed the Jaw In deal
ing with black mon.
We did not expect to see the situa
tion change 80 quickly. We note that
the practicing Of injustices upon the
colored folks is loading to the infllc.
ion Of injustice upon white ones The
lynching was a horrible exercise Of in
discriminate mob violence and if the
newspaper reports are to BIO accepted
at their faco value. it would seem
that tho officials wore and arc now
sympathy with tho lynchers.
All colored folks are to do Is to re
main loyal and watch tho events now
rapidly transporting. Mon and women
living today will see the colored folks
IN possession OF all their rights and
privileges under tho law.
