animosity for "a Just and legal cause
will finally cause a quicker under
standing and a more peaceful course
than to stink backward, and cry peace
where there is no real peace. Let US
have trouble now.
The Division Commander wants to
impress upon the Negro officers and
men that they are Negroes and that
nine-tents of the public is white. What
does that matter if America is just,
honest, sincere in her worldwide fight
for democracy wherein the rights OF
the minority are just as sacredly pre-
served as the rights of the majority ?
The same is true in any republic as a
fundamental principle, otherwise
might, as the kaiser thinks, makes
right. Apply this argument to Bel
gian division or to a Japanese dtvis-
ion. The Star disagrees with him in
saying that the white public can or
will ever have an inclination to break
up a division of Negro troops because
they ask for self-respect and decent
consideration. Tie same argument
can apply to the Negro civil rights
law passed, considered and adjudged
by white men who give damages to
Negroes in civil life for violation OF
their legal rights. No, If America can
afford to go on record as such a ma.
tion, the quicker the Negro finds 1t
out the better. No record can be pro
duced where even the courts desire
to become SO narrow and prejudfcfal
to Negroes. This whole matter looks
to the Star as an act of jealousy and
prejudice. The whole matter summed
up appeals to the Star as "be hermits
and towards to avoid trouble with
war profiteers."

GOING THE LIMIT.
The Officers and Soldiers Struggle In
the Army.

The Negro is being assured that all
all is we'll. There is much talk about
what he has done in the past and how
how he can be depended upon in the
future He is being lauded as an
American citizen who always rises
equal to the emergency. While being
filled with enthusiasm by hired en-
thusiasts it is we'll for him to pause,
face the facts squarely and use his
common sense.
1--WE are at war with Austria, yet
Austrian alien enemies have more
privileges than Negro soldiers in uni
form The fact is that democracy ts
being made farce and mockery right
here in America. 1t is time for the
Negro to cease fooling himself or
when the war is over he will be lost"
Why should the 92nd Division, be-
cause they are Colored, refrain from
going anywhere SO long as they are
gentlemen and behave accordingly? :?
The question is not only legal rights,
and policy" (whatever that means in
this connection) but downright self
respect.
Every theatre war profiteer in,
about and around the camps could
easily enough advertise" this dis
respect to not only Negro officers and
their men but reflect on the whole
race because of somebody's policy OF
prejudice and hermitage. Suppose
that such is the case, will that pol
icy" or backward cowardice help the
officers, their men in developing cour-
age or will it teach the white profi-
teer, be he alien or pro.German SYM
pathizer or prejudiced citizen the
worlds greatest democracy" justice
and plain equality between man and
man race and race? Has it come to
this, that Negros to be officers or mem
bers of the Negro Division must yield
up their self-respect before yielding
up their lives in worlds war for de-
mocracy of races? What does the
commanding officer mean by losing
self-respect for himself and race II he
can place the general good" chow
can good come out of evil mind and
hearD over his personal pleasure and
convenience?
Here the argument is faulty because
Negro officers are trying to create,
maintain and perpetuate the same
high standard of respect and consider
alton among their fellows as exists
among the white officers and COM
panies We agree with this part OF
his argument that sergeant is right
and white theatre manager wrong, but
not his conclusion that the sergeant
is guilty of the GREATER WRONG In
doing ANYTHING no matter how le-
gally correct, that yill provoke race
animosity. The writer failed to re-
member that II the stirring up Of race

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW

New York. March 1.-Bradstreets'
Weekly Trade Review will say to-
morrow:
"Freer movements. superinduced
by better weather. larger supplies
of coal and Improvement in trans
portaion facilities, both on land and
water. which however, are stin not
by any means free from conges-
tion, have given birth TO more
cheerful feelings. II is true that
preferences as to governmental re-
quirements operate to circumscribe
activities in certain civilian enter
prises and this factor. coupled with
the concededly marked shortage OF
many kinds of manufactured goods,
deters ordinary trading from rising
to its fullest height; but even so.
the general tendency Is toward
broader developments.
: Winter wheat crop news Is moro
favorable. propaganda to increase
the growing of foodstuffs is being
transformed into action, industrial
outputs give evidence of being un-
clamped. labor disturbances are

of the schedules. trade in staple
goods is expanding and marked by
considerable inter-dealing between
tobbers. this being especially true
of textiles, paucity of which is note
worthy and demand for which looms
large. notwithstanding upward
prices. In fact. dearth OF textiles
creates fears of a famine later on
and causes retail merchants. many
of whom visited the larger markets
this week. to buy more freely than
they should like to do.
On the other hand. so-called lux
'uries are comparatively neglected,
but even in this respect odd inci-
dents are numerous enough to de-
velop exceptions to the rule, while
in general way buying of spring
goods by the ultimate consumer Is
still held in leash awaiting spring
weather. OF course, retail trade in
the sections contiguous to canton
ments displays the purpose of ac-
tivity, thereby being in a class by
itself. Lower prices for foodstuffs
that are usually affected by sea-
sonal changes have made for some
relief in the high cost of living.

Early Curb Declines
Have Later Recovery

New York. March 1.-Price move
ments at the opening of the outside
cccurities market today were heavy
" nd prices in nearly all OF the promi-
uent issues made recessions ranging
rom fractions to well over a point
below the finals of yesterday. Busi-
ness was again on a small scale, and
ven the lower prices failed to stimu-
lte a demand.
Motors were the weak feature of
early dealings. and the decline
this group were the largest. Chew
,let Motors. due to the weakness OF
cneral Motors, sold OF sharply from
ne closing price, but its recovery was
nearly as sharp. Other motor issues
recovered after the early decline. The
balance OF the industrial list was
quiet, and prices recovered nearly all
of the early losses.
Oils were quiet, but prices maintain
ed a firm tone throughout the greater
part of the day.
Bonds were quiet and irregular.

DULLNESS FEATURES
TRADING in MARKET
Income Tax Demands Make Time
Money Stiff.

New York. March with the
exception Of a few specialties that
had particular reason for advanc-
ing the stock market was heavy
today, closing with net losses ia
nearly every issue. Final prices
were the lowest in nearly all in
stances. Trading was not heavy
ana was almost entirely profess
sionai. Money was stiff.
Brokers complained OF the scare
ity Of time funds. Small houses es-
pecially are having difficulty in
getting time money. Banks report
large demands for the purpose Of
paying income taxes both by indi-
yiduals and corporations. The
banks feel that money will be high
for some time for this reason.
United States Steel attracted most
attention because of the heavy spec
ulative selling for the account of a
group of very successful traders.
The stock was ex 41-4 per cent
dividend and yielded less than a
point under this selling. The to-
bacco shares were particularly
heavy. Kelly-Springfield celebrated
its splendid earnings report with an
advance and Lackawanna Steel went
higher.
Professional Wall street was dis
appointed that the passage of the
railroad bill should have SO little
effect. The reason seems to be that
important changes are expected in
conference. As the bill stands IL
guarantees railroad companies am
pie funds to maintain all dividends
that have been paid in the past
three years.
There is also reason from the
wording of the bill that the gov
ernment may make allowances to
some roads on account of extraor-
binary expenditures for improve
ments during the three years period.
Some of these improvements did not
have an opportunity to demonstrate
their earning value. II that were
done st, Paul would benefit mate

ECONOMIC REFORMS
URGED FOR COTTON
Southern Growers lndorse Move
ment for Their Interest.

Economic reforms in the baling ana
marketing OF spot cotton are indorsed
in resolutions adopted recently by
the executive officers Of the Southern
Commercial Congress.
Greater density for cotton bales at
the ginnery and Improvement in the
warehopsing and marketing Of cotton
under the cooperation OF the Bureau
of Markets, United States Department
OF Agriculture. are among the reforms
advocated.
1t is estimated that the realization
Of the proposed changes would reduce
the number OF cars required to handle
the cotton crop from 3o,ooo TO 1000.
The proposal encompasses an active
campaign on the part OF the Bureau OF
Markets for the education among
growers as to methods which will bet
ter safeguard their interests and in
struct them in the best methods OF
sainpling, warehousing and financing
the cotton crop until II is sold for con-
Stunning purposes to the spinners.
