1t is predicted that before
the British and Canadian Re
cruiting Mission has complet
ed its work in this country the
answer to their appeal for COL
ored Britishers to enlist will
astound the world.
Conditions governing the
enlistment of colored British
subjects are practically the
same as tor their white COM
patriots. To enlist they must
be British subjects,physically
fit and must not be prevented
by religious persuasions from
eating ordinary British Army
rations.

who cannot go to the tron,

kinds Of Wheatles Bread three
times a day: Corn Bread,
Crust and Crumbs.
"Considering the deep sig.
nihcance for us of this war,
to eat more than our share OF
wheat bread would place us in

would be eating Flapdoole

COMMISSIONER RULES THAT
"jIM-CRON" LAWS
ARE INVALID

BALTIMORE. MR.-Gen
eral Council William Cabell
Bruce, of the Public Service
Commission. gave an opinion
that the commission has no
authority as to the segrega
ton OF white and colored
people on inter state railroads
The matter was brought before
the commission in a compliant
bv Dr. William T. Wright,
who said that the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis
Railway is segreRating the
two races on its cars runing
between Baltimore and Wash
ington.
Mr.. Bruce stated that the
courts have held that the
MARYLAND Legislature cannot
out into effect segregation re
pulations affecting interstate
transportation agencies, and
that if the Legislature cannot
do that, it follows that the
creature of the Legislature,
the Service Commission, can
not. Tie question is one OF the
national authorities. jim Crow
laws passed some years ago
are in effect on transportation
agencies operating entirely

yet glorious. is the part which
. has been played by the color
ed race in this great world
war. Far too little has been
written of their part and only
when the official records of
the allied nations have been
eerused some time in the
future will it be known and
realized how completely the
sentiment of loyalty of the
eolored race in a good cause
has swept away time honored
distinctions. erased deep
seated prejudices. spurned
geographical distance and
even over-ridden all selfish
interest at this crucial time.
Countless numbers of dark
skinned patriots have taken
their places upon the battle
fields OF Mesopotamia the
Balkans, Africa and the other
fighting fronts. displaying the
same skill. the same valor.
and the same tenacity as their
white brethren. Many too
have made the y supreme
sacrifice tor the great ideal
which has lead the peace low
ing nations OF the world to do
battle with the bestial Huns.
A striking example of the
glorious achievements Of the
colored race is the British
West Indies Regiment. A, the
outbreak of the war such an
organization as this regiment
was little known. The cause
of the Empire was the cause
of our colored subjects in
these tropical islands and they
clamor for recognition that
they might do their share.
Though miles and miles Of
ocean lay between them and
the battle field the colored
population in the islands, as
one man, flocked to the cause
and from every island,
from every far off British
Colony they came eager to
do their share for the cause.
The British West Indies Reg
iment. with its numerous bat
talions. has given to the arm
ed forces of the British
Empire. one of the most re
markable examples of success
full military am algamation in
the annals ofthe war. They
have a place in the forefront
OF Britain's fighting forces.
Great Britain realizes what
her colored subjects have &C
complished, but until a short
time ago. owing to the great
numbers of colored subjects
who have hocked to the colors
in the West Indies and other
Colonies. the recruitment of
her Negroes in the United
States was OF necessity some
what limited. 1t has been de
cided. however. to sound the

ize the government to organize an ef-
fective force to preserve order, the
executive committee of the socialist

workers to depose the present senate.
The diets decision to establish a
force to prevent anarchy and protect

Russian soldiers was reached several
days ago by vote of 81 to IS after
the socialists minority had threatened

grape culture. Mr.. Nelson showed the
large and sure profits and indicated
in his statements that grapes grown
in this vicinity rival in the market
grapes from all other grape-growing
districts in the country N popularity.
Among other things, he said that the
market at Denver always took the
Omaha grapes by preference and
would pay more for them than for
the grapes from any other grape
growing region in the United States.
Mr.. Nelson also made it clear that
we were not now furnishing nearly
enough grapes for table use, let alone
furnishing grapes for factory pur-
poses. He stated that the Welsh and
Armour people had both been inves-
tigating this field and would enter it
with factory for manufacturing
grape juice when they were sure OF a
sufficient quantity of grapes.
Mr.. Lewis discussed the growing of
grapes, their proper planting and cul-
ture and answered numerous ques-
tions from the realtors as to the
methods and the difficulties, as we'll

"We herewith hand you warranty
deed for 1872 feet of Thirteenth street
frontage, overlooking the Missouri

after having been sold, when we
learned of the plans and report Of the

way along Thirteenth street from
Riverview park to Mandan park.
"We heartily endorse this project
and are supporters because it appears

Troops in France Well
Equipped Says Baker
(By Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 2o.-Repeated
publication of reports of shortages
of food and clothing among Gen.
eral Perish ng's forces in France to-
day led Secretary Baker to an
nounce that no complaints had
come to him either from official or
unofficial sources. Had there been
shortages, Mr.. Baker said, not only
would a report have been received
from General Pershing in the ordi-
nary course, but such a report
would have been required by army
regulations.
In this connection it is learned
that soon after the movement Of
troops to France began, a general
order was issued prohibiting the
embarkation of any man whose i'm
mediate commanding officer had not
certified that the soldier was COM
pletely equipped.
