Belgian Flanders is fast being evac-

A haven of safety in shorter and

In Belgium the enemy is giving

porous development unhampered by
obstacles which brutal forces create
against intellectual and economic
prosperity.
The terrible struggles in the world

peace impossible, The heavy sacrl-
tices of the war should assure to us

Federation Proposed.
we must, therefore, undertake
without delay the reorganization of
our country on natural, and there
fore, solid basis. Such question de-
mands that the desires of the Aus

II am decided to accomplish this
work with the free collaboration OF
my peoples in the spirit and principles
which our allied monarchs have
adopted. in their offet OF peace.
Austria must become, In conformi-

federate state In which each nation
ality shall form on the territory which

This does not mean that we are

Czcchs Suspicious.
London, Oct. 1S.--The Czecho-Slo-
yak national council and the union OF
Czech deputies at their meeting In
Prague, September 20, adopted res
olution declaring that the Czechs have
no faith in the promises of the Vienna
government. The resolution. which
was suppressed by the Austrian CEN
sor, has just reached London. Ii says
in part
THE hard experience OF our nation
orders US imperatiyely to hold firm In
matters Whereby reality is stronger
than all promises. The Vienna govern
ment is unable to give us anything we
ask for.
THE Czech nation will follow it's
anti-German policy whatever may
happen, being sure that its just cause
will finally triumph, especially today
when it has become part of the great
ideals of the entente, whose victory
will be the only good produced by this
terrible war"

Faith Brings Victory.

This land belongs to the colore1
people by right of birth and by right
of toll. They have paid the price of
their heritage in LOYALTY and in blood.
They will gain for themselves the
precious things for which the price
was paid.
Although they will have many dis
couragements, they must not lose
faith in themselves, or in their race,
or in their country. When things
grow blacklist, they must have cour.
age and faith in God, for-the hand of
God is present even in this world wide

The drops of blood shed by Lincoln
have not been shed in vain.
The tears, prayers and efforts which
have gone up to God will not be for
gotten. In time they will all be an

Democracy Is Coming.

The world is being made over Old
laws, customs, conventions, and even
religions are being broken down in
the crucible of war. Something
vastly better is coming out of the
present struggle. This new thing,
called democracy, is coming to all the
people of the world, especially to
the colored people Of the United
States.
Despite anything that has been un-
justly done to Negroes, this country
is theirs, and they have faith in
American democracy. The spirit of
those who landed at jamestown and
at Plymouth Rock will prevail. That
spirit, though thwarted, delayed, and
even defeated, will never be destroy
ed 1t will in time make all things
safe in these United States.
Some are looking for the tangible
evidence that democracy is coming
to colored people, The exodus of
colored people out of Egypt is a di-
rect result of the Great War, the first
effect of which was to take out of
industry many in the Northern and
Border states who were called to the
colOrs of their native countries. The
colored people of the South have been
filling this vacuum in industry They
have been Obeying a great economic
law. Indeed, in this migration there
is the hand of God.
For generations the American Ne
gro has had the two-fold choice of
locality in living. He could live in
the far South, where his economic
position, after fashion, was secure,
and where his rights were denied; or
he could move to the North where his
rights were secure and his economic
position was insecure. Now he is
able to place his feet on firm eco.
nomic foundations and enjoy certain
rights.
From New York to California there
will be, in time, two million Negro
votes that will be counted. Certain
things will not come to the Negro un
til he has, and can use, the ballot
The recent migration among color
ed people of masses moving leader

The Negro and Americanism.

Va, who is a member OF the Hamp-
ton Institute graduating class, speak
ing recently on The Negro and Amer
icanism," before a great audience as
sembled at Hampton Institute to cele
brate Lincoln's famous Emancipation
Proclamation, said:
"The claim of Negroes to Ameri-
canisni dates back to the landing of
the first slaves at Jamestown. From
that day in 1919 the Negro has been
an important factor in the develop
ment of this country. Though held
in shackles, he was gradually absorb
ing the ideals of the liberty-loving
white settlers.
when the American colonists were
being lorded over by tyrannical
mother country, a Negro lighted the
fiery flame of liberty. After the Re-
volution, the people of Boston erected
to the memory of that brave Negro
and his companions monument. On
it you may read these words:
Long as in Freedoms cause the
wise contend,
Dear to our country shall your fame
extend;
While to the world the lettered stone
shall tell
Where Caldwell, Attucks, Gray and
Meverick fell
at is said that one cut of every
ten men with Perry OH the Great
Lakes was colored man. The assis
tance that the slaves gave General

the British from capturing that city
During the Civil War black sol
diers fought and died for the Union

"Thirty years later the Negro sol
dier faced the Spanish ,guns and
again proved to the world his courage
and his willingness to lay down his
life for his country
when we entered this Great War

toned by some, although in previous
wars the Negro had fought gallant

however, soon indicated its faith ir

Gains for Colored Peoples.

When men get behind the present
international jealousies they find
that the unWitting cause OF the pres
ent worldwide conflict is the pres
ence of the colOred people Of the
world.
At bottom this great war is a con
test OF the powers to dominate the
'oolored peoples OF the world.
Since colored people have unWit-
Eingly been the cause Of this stupen.
Elous struggle, it is they who will
surely derive the greatest results
'Sou the struggle.
I The direct result of this conflict
will be the defeat of the TeJtomv
