PRAISE FOR LANSING

The London Times in an editorl aIludes to the
deeply impressive contrast between the recent
speeches by Secretary of State Lansing and the
deliverances of General Won Sten the Prussian
War Minister; Herr Won Payer, the German Vice
Chancellor, and Baron Burian, the Austro-Hun-
garian Foreign Minister.
The utterances of the spokesman for the
Central Powers, the Times comments, give one
vision of the world of the future, while the other
SIS league of free peoples based on those great,
simple ideas of liberty, democracy and inter-
national law" which are Justly declared to be
the foundation of England's moral greatness and
not of England's alone.
"They are shared to the full" continues the
newspaper, ''by that other nation of English
speech for which President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing speak Mr.. Lansing repeats with tel
ling force the familiar reasons why recon-
Citation between the fundamental doctrines of
Prussianism and those of democracy is impossi-
ble
''The mtarist creed defies force and would
rule mankind by force. World domination
and is the central though of Prussanism.' That
though has been instilled into the Germans by
their accredited instructors and pastors until it
has filled them with insolent pride of blood and
an all absorbing ambition to prove themselves
supermen,' chosen by Providence to dominate us.
America has learned that the only way to ex-
orcse from the German people the evil spirit
which possesses them is to prove conclusively
that they are physically unable to fasten their
yoke upon the world. That proof can be given
only by the decisive defeat of the Kaiser's
armies Secretary Lansing recognizes clear
" as we do that the war must continue until the
arrogant and brutal Prussians are humbled.
AN unstable truce is not what the associated
democraces fighting for. They are lavish
ing their best blood and their accumulated wealth
for real peace founded upon justice-a peace
which will be blessing and not curse to them
and their children for generations to come.
Until that goal is reached must go on with
the war"

TO AID THE GOVERNMENT.

That food will win this war has been i'm
pressed again and again upon the minds of the
American people, Every housewife, every hotel
proprietor, every baker, every grocer, has been
called upon to do his part in aiding the govern
nent in its conservation program. And all of
these movements, all of this propaganda, has
helped to mold public opinion.
That the country which can take public opin-
ion and mold it to it's own ends will win this
war, is not too much to say For public opinion
is the peoples opinion, and the way "a man
thinketh, that is he"
The public that thinks victory the hardest will
win victory. The people who believe most firmly
that their country will win, will be the victors.
And that is the reason that deep within their
souls the allies know that victory will be theirs.
For in spite of intrigue from within and with
out, in spite of German gold, and the German
born and the German-bred, the people of this
country believe in victory for this country. And
they are translating that belief into practical
deeds.
OF all people in the world, the Americans
the most practical. And, Immediately that the
realization came home to them that this was
their war, they began to fight for victory in
practical way.
They have sent their seas and their
gold, and their food and they will continue to
send their food, just as long as it is needed.
But they have not gone about any of these
things in haphazard way. The charge has been
made that the United States government has
been long time getting ready for war. But,
if this is SO, they have at least made mighty
good job of it.
1t is to be doubted, however, if that claim can
be substantiated. Military experts say that
never in all the history of the world has any
nation prepared so effectively in short time,
for warfare.
The United States has been most fortunate in
the man they have at the head of the food adj
ministration for Herbert Hoover has back of
him, many months of experience, before this
perience he gained in Belgium gave him splen-
did foundation of experience for his conserva-
ton work IN this country.
And it is to the credit of this nation that they
have stood firmly back of Mr.. Hoover in his
conservation program.
What criticism there has been of Mr.. Hoover
and his aides has been minor, and the great
work that has already been accomplished by
them is augury for greater results yet to come.
The meetings which are being held through
out the country in the interest of food conserva-
ton are of the utmost Importance, for not only
do they bring the workers into closer union, but
through the meetings which are held they give
the public an insight into the methods and means
that could be gained in no other way

COLORED MINISTER'S URGE A
DISASTROUS PEACE MOVE.
MIDDLE Likely to Grow From Ignor
ancc in Unscrambling Negro
Problem.
(By Edward II. Lawson)

Special to The Planet:
washington, ID. c., November 81
starting among colOrcd minister:
OF Washington, 4 movement to rails,
money among their congregations &c
send Negro to the peace table has
gained Roadway. 1t is considered
the acme Of crassitude and the mis-
handling Of matter of utmost del
icacy.
Discussion of the large questions
OF Industrial, business. political and
social equality for colored peoples
will not be in order at tho peace
table except as they arise out of
consideration of administration OF the
German African colonies.
Emmett J. Scott, assistant to the
Secretary of War, adopted the criti
cal moment, it appears, for entering
into the situation. He is pushing
his proposal for administration of the
German colonies by an international
commission on which an American
Negro shall sit.
If the American Negro can arrange
to have Haiti. Liberia, France to
favor him in the moves made at the
green table. he will have made great
Roadway. But presentation OF his
case must be made by Americas
chosen representative. No foreign
country, save Germany, will insult
America by raising this question.
Americas representatives ut the
peace table will be white. No Amer
lean Negro could be q logical choice
for such honor. None is acceptable
to England, France, Italy and Amer
lea at the same time. Few are
capable. The highest point to which
the American Negro may aspire is to
position on one Of the commissions
which will meet i'll connection with
peace adjustments at Versailles.
rhc most simple statement Of
Washington's concensus Of opinion is
to the effect that the American
Negro wants, by whatever means,
official honor, fraternal recognition,
and simple equality. Flo will be sat
isfed il the administration Of peace
brings these rewards for service.
Movement toward these ends must
be taken with utmost caution and
superior intelligence. If an Ameri
can Negro, as proposed by tho assist
ant to the Secretary Of War, is
appointed to serve on an information
nj commission for the German
African colonies, every movement
made by such commission Will react
savorably upon America.
Amendment OF an American Ne
gro in such capacity would represent
the highest official position OF honor
ever awarded him. He would occu
by the seat of authority enabling him
to keep alive 4 friendly feeling be
tween the races.
Students Of the situation, not
without reluctance, admit that the
international commission idea is the
only proper opening. And they ad
nit that if this proposition Is not
pushed to the utmost, the American
Negro. despite his deeds Of war, will
get to the peace table after the pipe
has passed around.

planed to hold pledge meetings Ia the
school houses in the country and at
the voting places In the larger towns
and cities. At these meetings pledges
will be circulated among those In at
tendance.
First, lists will be complied of every
tax payer in the various districts and
notice to attend the pledge meetings
will be sent to each. Failure to at
tend the meeting means that solicitors
will be sent out to round up the de-
linquents.
AS a result Of the recent drive put
on In Iowa the state has reached APP
proximately 20 per cent Of its quota
in cash sails and pledges. State Di-
rector Miller is confident that the
treasury departments report for sales
in May will show Iowa in either SEQ
ond or third place among all the
states. In April the state stood sew
enth. The drive it is confidently e4-
pected. will push Iowa way up the list

Reports Printed Telling Of Aviator's
Death by "Gunner Lewis"


Death by "Gunner Lewis
Correspondence Associated Press.]
Amsterdam, May 4.-The German
semi official press bureau made an
amusing blunder in an account OF
Baron Won Richthofen's death which
was published in all the German news
papers In translating an account OF
his end from the English newspaper
accounts, it stated that the German
airmen was brought down by Gunnel
Lewis" this being careless transla-
tors rendering of Lewis gum 1t was
not until two days later that the Ger
man newspaper discovered the mis-
take.
The Cologne Gazette editorializes:
"The news report attributed the shoot
ing down of Won Richthofen to Cum
ner Lewis, and numbe: of German
newspapers have helped the gallant
gunner to widespread fame. To who :.
ever the honor of Richthofens defeat
belongs 1T certainly is not Gunner
Lewis for he owed his existence only
to a mistake in the translation, ana
the bullet was fired by Lewis gun.
Gunner Lewis, however. will adorn
a modest place in the history of the
war, where he will be able to converse
about the dangers Of too rapid trans
lation with General STAFF, who was
one of the famous German newspaper
blunders of the war of 1870"

Capt. Franz Rintelen. .paymaster OF

Threat by Lansing.
The state department ignored the
German demand for month and n
half, making the following reply under
date OF June 4:
IT have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt Of memorandum OF April
10. 1918. communicating translation
of a note verbale from the German
government, transmitted by the Swiss
political department, proposing the ex-
change OF Captain Lieutenant Franz
Rintelen for Siegfried Paul London. an
alleged American citizen condemned to
ten years penal servitude In Germany.
The German government threatens
measures OF reprisal II Rintelcn Ia not
released or exchan9ed for London.
In reply have the honor to advise
You that this government can not con-
slider the exchange of Rintelen for
London. moi. odn Il consider the release
OF Rintelen nor interference in the due
process vi ia " ii his case
The threat OF the German govern
ment to retaliate by making Ameri-
cans in Germany suffer clearly implies
that the government proposes to adop:
the principle that reprisals occasioning
physical suffering are legitimate ana
necessary in order to enforce demands
from one belligerent to another.
Kaiser Advised to Reflect.
The government Of the United
States acknowledges no such principle
and would suggest that 1t would he
wise for the German government to
consider that II 1t acts upon that prin-
ciple 1t will inevitably be understood
to invite similar reciprocal action on
the, part Of the United States with re-
spect to the great number OF German
subjecs in this country.
1T is assumed that the German gov
eminent. before acting, will give due
reflection and due weight to this con-
sderation.
II beg that you will be good enough
to bring the foregoing statement to the
attention of the German government.
