BELGIANs REFUSE
NGERMAN OFFERS

Stories Of a tremendous strike by
Belgian workmen in the occupied sec
tons of their country have reached
America from time to time. Further
confirmation comes in secret corre-
spondence from Verviers, puPlished in
the Belgian Bulletin:
TN spite Of the most enticing offers
on the part of the Germans to obtain
workers, no one nibbles at the bait
although the poverty grows bRcker
and blacker."
Reports which reached the depart
ment of labor a short time ago were
to the effect hat a million Belgians
had refused to do any work for the
Germans. This information, though
unofficial, came from a Belgian officer.

eress at Washington in Wesley Zion
Church, Dec. 1918, 1918.

Washington, d , c.. Nov. 16. 1915
One month from today the most mo-
rlentous gathering of the Colored race
since the close of the Civil War is to
assemble in the spacious John Wes-
ley A. NJ e. Zion church, 18th and
Corcoran streets. 1t is to be known
as the National Race Representative
Congress for World Democracy, called
by the National Equal Rights League
in accordance with the vote at the re-
cent 11th annual meeting in Chicago.
This Congress is a delegate one, to
be composed of persons elected by To-
cal bodies, either Equal Rights League.
which citizens are authorized to form
an individual initiative everywhere. or
by other religious, fraternal or other
race bodies which become affiliated
Herewith, one for every 80 members.
These delegates will elect the race
ENJOYS to go to Versailles Immediately
after the Congress closes as petition
ers to intercede and lobby for the pre-
sentation to the Peace Council of the
desire of Colored Americans to have
every group within the Allied nations
given exemption from present abridg
ment of the rights of democracy.
To this Congress for the Peace
Table undoubtedly hundreds of dele
gates will be sent from every section
of the country, as the race desires to
make a desperate effort now to stop
the onward trend of injustice at the
close of a world war to which their
boys helped bring the victory.

Fifty per cent of the products raised
on the farms in the United States
never reach the market because oil
lack of transportation facilities. The
whole world is hungry, will be so for
years to come, and yet thousands OF
tons of fruits and vegetables rot on
the ground every year because means
are not at hand to get supplies to tho
consumer.
These statements are not the uncrit-
ical utterances of careless observer.
They come direct from Herbert C..
Hoover, United States Food Admins
traitor and the greptest authority on
food conditions today.
Upon the American farmer rests the
task OF feeding not alone America but
cut army and navy and to large eN-
tent our allies and neutral nations.
Every channel by which he may move
his products should be opened TO him
and every possible aid extended.
The railroads alone are unequal to
The task and every increasing por-
ton of their tonnage must be devoted
to transportation of war supplies.
Domestic trade must take second place
and if the war were to stop tomorrow
the railroads would still be taxed to
their utmost limit and would be un-
able to handle all of the transporta-
ton alone.
This handicap would be serious
enough for the farmer were it all.
But it is not. The farmer is the only
producer who carries his own wares
to market today. To do it he must
neglect his farm when he is most
needed there Under ordinary condi-
tions this method is wrong. Today
with the world aflame, with labor
acutely needed everywhere, such
methods work an injustice to him, a
crime against humanity.
So important is this subject that 1t
has been made the object of a special
investigation at Washington. The re-
suit has been the creation of the
Highways Transport Committee of the
Council of National Defense with or
kanizations in every state of which

tical solution of the transportation

the reasons for this transference:
One motor truck can do the work of

four hours out of a day II necessary.
One motor truck operating between
several towns can carry all of their
products and release all OF the teams
so employed, and consequently release
the farmer who would otherwise be
spending time on the road when he is
most needed on the farm. The truck
provides a direct door to door deliv-
cry, eliminating carriage and terminal
costs, supplies the consumer with
fresh products and relieves congestion
at rail points. thus enabling Uncle
Sam to deyote his energies TO tha
long distance haul.
The truck cuts down the number of
horses kept by the farmer reduces
the heavy cost of winter feeding and
finally by reducing forage raised, re-
leases labor for work on acreage de-
voted to supplying human wants.

not heavy enough for the trucks. They
are not now but it has been shown
that money expended on roads is an

ATTENDED.

The annual Memorial day services
for the G.. A. r.. and w. r. C. was
delivered yesterday at the Methodist
church, by the pastor, Rev. III. w.

for the occasion.
The G.. A. r. and w. r. C. met at
the courthouse. where they were
joined by a good representation of
the home guard. They marched to
martial music to the church, attend
ed by their flags and girls bearing
flags and flowers. Music by single
and multiple voices formed a most
interesting part of the service. The
sermon, treating of the ideals for
which the American soldier has al
ways fought, was received with deep
interest. Following the services the
military organizations again formed
and marched to the courthouse,
where the flag vas borne between
the saluting lines of the home guards
and where the formation was dis
solved.
