British front, especially hindering
the bonn bing activities of British air
men. The German artillery fire is
strong on the Lys salient. At Buc-
ouoy, between Albert and Arras. the
British drove of German raiders.
Continuation of the rain on the
British front may hamper German
plans as the battle grounds of Flan-
ders and Picardy are likely TO turn
into seas of mud. Rain. has been
falling Off and on on the British
front for five days.
Berlin now reports that the sixth
American airplane of the squadron
which was flying toward Coblenz was
brought down. Thursday il an
nounced that five out of six machines
with their crew had fallen into Ger
man hands.
Italians Advance
Franco-Italian success in Albania
has enabled the allies to establish
connected battle line over a
stretch of 200 miles from Saloniki
10 the Adriatic. The Italians rapidly
are clearing up the territory taken
from the Austrians in Western AL
banla and preparing for further at
tacks. Between Berat and Lake
OChrida the French have occupied
all the territory between the DevoIi
and Tomoriac rivers except near
the confluence where the Austrians
still hold out. Prisoners taken by
the French in the Tomorica valley
have increased to 400.
Supporting the allies. the new
government set up in Siberia has
proclaimed Lieutenant General Hor-
vath as provisional ruler. General
Horvath, who for many years was
Russian commander at Hardin and
general manager of the Chinese
Eastern Railway, the eastern link of
the trans-Siberian system, is anti
German and anti-Bolshevik. He pro-
poses to form an army and to ac-
lively aid the allied cause.
Night Is Quiet
Last night was rather less active
than has been the case recently in
the way of fresh enterprises by the
entente troops under the present
plan of pounding the German lines
here and there at frequent intervals
The French, however, were engaged
in a lively little operation in the
region northwest of Compiegene,
where earlier in the week they push
ed sharply into the German lines al
the apex OF the wedge formed when
the Germans were compelled to halt
their abortive rush toward Paris on
the Montdidier-Noyon front last
month.
The action of last evening carried
the French advanced lines ahead
more than a quarter of a mile in the
Porte farm region, TO the west of the
Compiegne road running past An
theuil. They also carried out raiding
operations in the region of the Avre.
southeast of Amiens. in the vicinity
of the line on which their successful
thrust OF yesterday was carried out.
and at other points further east along
the front.
The British activities were con-
fined to raiding operations, mainly
in the Flanders area, in which ap-
proXimately 100 prisoners and a few
machine guns were taken. The enemy
artillery is continuing to show more
or less activity on the Flanders
front, while in the Meterne sector.
on tn eroad to Hazebrouck, the Ger
mans sent out a raiding party. The
British easily drove of the raiders.

Colored folks are still quarreling

Colored folks are still quarreling
over two National Baptist Conven-
lions. The regular organization pre-
sided over by Rev. DR.. e. c. Morris
has declared itself to be in favor OF
peace and that distinguished pulpit
orator has repeatedly asserted that
he would not be stumbling block
in the way Of any peaceable adjust
ment of difficulties. In plain words,
he will step aside for another leader,
provided such a step would bring
peace to tho warning factions.
The attitude Of tho National Bap-
fist Convention, unincorporated is
not in keeping with this attitude.
Rev. DR.. r. II. Boyd, the very able
leader has laid down an ultimatum,
which binds his followers and en-
harnesses the conservative clements
in the aggregation Of people behind
him. Before another year has rolled
around, perhaps some adjustment
may be arranged and peace and
happiness may reign among the
warning clements of the Colored
Baptist Denomination.

Just as we predicted. the colorcd
people of tho United States are the
alleged unhappy possessprs of two
Biennial Committees of Odd Fellows
and with two Most Worshipful Grand
Masters OF the Grand United Order
OF Odd Fellows. The very able Edward
Fl. Morris Of Chicago, ILL.,, is still
head Of tho regular organization. His
title is cloudcd however by the claims
of John S. Noel who is carrying the
same title as that held by the attor
ney from Chicago. 1t seems that tho
last B. M. c. decided upon New
York city as the next place Of meet
ing, but that the Subcommittee Of
Management postponed it.
The minority members saw in this
an opportunity to secure legal
standing in the country at large and
Immediately protested against this
action. Furthermore. they sent their

meantime, Benjamin J. Davis and

constitute a quorum and this num-
Der had already elected delegates TO
the B. M. c., despite the orders OF
the Subcommittee of management
that they should not do so.
Grand Master Morris was quick to
scent danger and he proceeded to do
the next best thing to meet, not meet
to elect officers and not to elect them.
Grand Master Morris went to New

THE WORLD WAR AND PEACE.

When will the war end? is the
question being asked with bated
breath. No one can talk peace in
this country without being suspected
of having pro German tendencies and
yet everybody longs for peace. AS II
matter OF fact peace parlcys aro>
already under way.
Thr lotion overwhelmingly IN
sending Il long statement to tho
civilized world in favor of ending tho
war shows conclusivcly that the
desire for peace is tho controlling
factor on the other side OF the
Atlantic. President Woodrow vii.
son and his advisors want peace too,
but they want it with victory or
rather with concessions from the.
German government that will rob
the whole affair Of the sting of
defeat.
We do not believe that tho con-
tending nations will ever meet around
IL peace table. They arc too angry
for that. They are waiting for the
Tcutonic Allies to make a proposition
III IL manner that would enable them
to get practically all that they de-
mand. The idea is to carry on the
war to the point Of exhaustion, being
satisfied that the exhaustion will
come to Germany and her allies,
before it can come to Great Britain
and her allies.
These lctter-writing negotiations
may go on for Il long time. The
Entente Allies arc waiting for some
communication from the Tcutonic
Allies that will contain some admis-
sionS Of defeat and will state in
plain language that they are willing
TO Withdraw from the vast stretch OF
territory that they now occupy. I'm
til that time, they arc determined to
fight to the death.
The cost OF the war is now being
paid by this country. Recently the
announcement was made that thirty.
one thousand million dollars will not
pay the expenses for one year. The
American people as represented by
This Congress is determined to pay
tho price and the frightful slaughter
and expenditure OF treasure will no
doubt continue for sometime to
come.
4 revolution in tho Tcutonic
countries will alone bring about an
earlier conclusion OF tho struggle.
Russia has virtually openly allied
herself with Germany and has de-
clared that n state OF war exists
between that country and the Entente
Allies, including the United States.
That Germany is already mastering
tens of thousands OF Russians into
her armies for Il defensive warfare
must BIO apparent to any Que who
will study the situation.
We must therefore prepare to
make greater sacrifices and see the
war through TO Il successful conclu-
sion. What the War Department
says ii wants must be Forthcoming
and the War Department can then
be held responsible for q successful
conclusion of tho great struggle.
