that the public may well be tired Of
the reitsration Of this particular cry
Of wolf" The belief undoubtedly ex-
lists at present In the best informed
circles here, however. that the Dual
Monarchy IL on the point Of dissolving
into a social revolutionary chaos like
Russia, and that this breakup was
only postponed. not averted, by the
removal In the 1877 campaigns OF the
Russian and Italian military pressure
from the Emperor's frontiers
It Is to America and President WI
son that the Hapsburg autocrats and
their satellites are looking to protect
them from ruin by bringing pressure
on the allies to conclude peace before
they are swept into the dustbin with
the Romanoffs. The political ma
neuvers Of Austria, which are expect
ed to increase as the end approaches,
may be better understood In the light
Of a few facts about the present in
ternaI conditions They have been OBJ
tanned from a high authority whose
sources are unquestionable. This man

per cent OF the pre-war period. Fodder
is hard to procure, and there has been
a dangerous reduction Of live stock IN
consequence. Vienna has been living
from hand to mouth for almost two
years, and this applies to other urban
districts. Numerous diseases, due to

carrying a gun in the army that
there were hundreds and thous-
ands of other things that the
government needed.
He said that this was no time
for the loafing negro, that if
that sort of a negro ever had a
place it was gone now. He en-
joined his people out into the
highways and the byways. He
said that he greatly deplored
the fact that the negro had been
SO wasteful, but he plead for
them to save something of what
ever they made now. He said
that the first thing a white man
saw in a dollar was church and
a schoolhouse then a home and
then a farm, a bank or some
business enterprise but that the
first thing too many negroes saw
in dollar was "a good time. I"
At this point he falicitated over
the fact that prohibition had
largely deprived the negro of
his jug and made it easier for
him to save and economic. He
discussed the War and the
Thrift Stamp and urged his
people to cease to throw away
their money so that it might go
into the Baby Bonds offered by
the government. He said that
the colored man who was a
Stacker would fare badly-that
he should fare badly. He said
every Stacker should be duly
penalized and he insisted that
they would.
He talked of the butchery of
Germany and tried to make it
plain to the colored people that
if Germany should succeed in
the war that they would be
greater sufferers than the white
people. He said he was proud of
the fact that history had failed
to record a negro deserter or a
negro spy. He said his people
were a loyal race.
In view of the fact that neg
roes constitute about So per cent
of the population of Mississippi
it is highly important that every
ounce of the energy and all the
activities of the negro be gotten
in line at once, hence the very
great Importance of carrying a
message like the one delivered
by Prof. Jones to the negro pop
ulation. A vision that reaches
perhaps into the centuries was
indicated in the address all of
which was based on incontrover-
table philosophy.
