Jewish population Of Lithuania,
which has looked forward to being
freed by the Poles from the Bolshe-
wiki is plunged N deception and in
terror.
COT late the government seeks to
put an end to the excuses against
the Jews in western Galicia and in
Lithuanla. The policy of half-meas-
pres, the care with which one avoids
descending to the root of the evil.
the immunity which those VINO cause
all this trouble enjoy-these are the
things that cause pogronls to spring
up constantly in new regions and TO
take different forms.

who makes the real profit. Two
thirds of the German colonial terri
tory falls to her. In addition to half
Of the Togo and relatively small
slice of the Kamerun, she acquires
all of German East Africa and of
German Southwest Africa. The
dream of Cecil Rhodes is THUS re-
allied, and the "all red" strip ot
British territory extends without in
terruption from the Cape to Cairo.
While the German base Of intrigue,
propaganda and maneuvre in South
west Africa is abolished, the eastern
half of the great African continent
is henceforth British, and the Cape
to-Calro railway can march on Brit
ish territory from one end of Africa
to the other.

Polish diplomacy has not been
crowned with succeed. These plac-
ards remained on the walls during
the course Of half day, and the
gendarmerie arrested persons tear
ing these placards down. Under the
pretext of carrying on a war against
monopoly searches are made exclu-
slvely among the Jews in LODI, Lou
kof. konsk and IN 2 number Of other
cities. These searches almost never
disclose secret stocks, but they end
III revenge, in the disappearance of
money and Of jewels belonging to the
persons who are searched. Also
they take away the food that these
families have for their personal
needs.

These searches are carried out
also under the pretext Of searching
for arms. Naturally one finds no
arms. but the occasion is made use
Of 10 profane 5ynagoguas without
heed for the religious sentiments Of
the Jews. At the same time these
ecarchers carefully avoid the homes
and the stores of Christians. No
passing Christian is submitted to
searches, and it is this which Gre
ates the impression that only the
Jews speculate and that only they
hide arms.
On Lithuania the prosecutions Of
Jews take an extremely terrible
turn In Pinsll thirty-five Jews have
been shot without any kind Of q
trial under the preteXt that they
were BolshevilIi. The same thing

Germans Coveted
Great Congo Colony

In German calculation Belgium
was to surrender her Congo. Did
not Bernhard, long before the war.

that the mere possession of this COL
ony might deprive Belgium of her
neutrality France, already forced
to yield half Of her Congo as com
pensation' for her Moroccan acqui-
sitions. was to complete the surren-
der Of this great colony. These
French and Belgian cessions would
unite the kamerun with German
East Africa Moreover. the Ger
mans had constructed a railroad
from the Indian Ocean to Lake
Tanganylka, which was to be the
backbone of this ocean to-ocean en-
pire.
But this was only one Of the Ger
man dreams. When the war came
and Turkey joined the Kaiser then
the Germans promised to the Sultan
the return Of his rights in Egypt.
Britain was to be evicted, Turkey
was nominally to come back, but
actually Germany was to succeed
the British. In this region, too,
German supremacy was to be as
sured beyond the challenge Of sea
power by pushing a branch of the
Bagdad railway southwark from
Aleppo. A new railroad, borrowing
existing lines as far as the edge of
The desert, was to extend across the
Suez Canal, joining Cairo and Alex-
andria with Damascus and Aleppo,
and thus with Constantinople and
Berlin.
And, once In Egypt. Germany
dreamed Of following the example Of
the Arabs and sweeping westward
on the Mediterranean shore until
She reached Tripoli, Tunis. Algeria
and Morocco, borrowing the mantle
Of the Prophet to cover the anlbi-
lions OF the Hohenzollern.

The Aim of the Junkers Was a
Huge Colonial Empire in
the Dark Continent
BY rank Fl. Simonds

" HE attentlon Of the world has
been so concentrated upon
European aspects of the
Treaty Of Versailles that the provi-
sons Of this document affecting
Africa have provoked relatively
little comment. yet, IN point of fact,
it is not impossible that the African
detail is of more Importance for the
future than all the territorial
changes, so far as Germany herself
l. concerned. on the European map.
When the war came Germany had
constructed on African soil an en-
pire of more than a million square
miles. FIVE times the area of the Ger
man Empire in Europe, with q popu-
lation of nearly thirteen millions.
Nor did German ambition pause at
what had been accomplished. Her
two great colonies Of tropical Africa,
the Kamerun and German East A.
rica. were to be foundation stones IN
8 grandiose edifce which was to
span the Dark Continent. If there
vas to be Mitteleuropa as a result
of the victories Of German arms on
the European frontiers, there was
Just as surely to be a Mittelafrika,
crossing the African Continent from
the Atlantic to the Eastern Ocean,
snd. in addition. German Southwest
Africa was to advance northward to
join this central territory, while it
also extended southwark to include
the Union OF South Africa.

spirit is, moreover. totally unwar-
ranted. During all the years that
Germany was building up her
African estate, Britain viewed Ger
man acquisitions without jealousy
Germany's right to colonies was
never questioned, and in the case Of
the Portuguese colonies Britain
agreed that when at last, as was
inevitable, Portugal was compelled
to sell them the larger part should
go to Germany. Even in the case
of the Kamerun, Britain was will
ing Germany should obtain from
France compensation on the Ubanghi
for French gains in Morocco, pro-
vided only German greed should not
impose impossible concessions
The German has himself solely to
blame for the fact that in the end
he has lost his whole African en-
pire. Neither the French nor the
British sought to extend their
domains at his expense Neither
conceived nor nourished grandoise
schemes for creating a still vaster
African empire by annexing Ger
man lands. Rivalry there was be-
teween the German and the Briton,
between the Frenchman and the
Briton-com petition-which in the
case of France and Britain led to
tense moments and acute crises.
But both Britain and France recog
nized German right to a place In
the African sun.
By contrast the German regarded
his own considerable holdings as i'm
portant solely as bases for the
acquisition Of the lands of his neigh
oors. He was constructing maps
and plans, inspiring rebellions and
disorders in British and French
nrritories alike. The same spirit
at was revealed in Pan-German-
lsnl in Europe was disclosed in the
whole African chapter Of German
history. And in the end self preser-
walton demanded that the French
and the British should make an end
to the intolerable conditions incident
to German conduct in Africa.

Germany Brutal
In Colonization

Nor can one fail to take note of
the methods of German colonization
In modern history there is no page
more soiled. In German Southwest
Africa almost the entire native
population was exterminated, after
war provoked by German brutality
conducted in the manner later used
in Europe. To the very last in all
of her colonies Germany continued
to employ methods which make the
history Of the campaigns which
ended in the occupation of her
colonies by French, British, Belgian
and Portuguese troops record of
almost unexampled horrors.
1t remains to mention Italian
gains in Africa. At the moment
when she entered the war Italy held
Tripoli, acquired as a result of her
still recent conflict with Turkey.

land between Abyssinia and the Red

ITHACA N. Y, Oct. 13.-The Cornell
football squad began practice this af-
ternoon for the Colgate game, the play
ers fully realizing that they are facing
one Of the hardest games on the sched-
ule. Fighting determination is the kew
note OF coaches and players.
Ihe team was strengthened to-dav
by the arrival Of two candidates for
end Ellsworth and Hoff, who played on
the 1915 freshman team. Ellsworth. in
particular, is an important addition.
he was first substitute varsity end in
1915, and is regarded as man Of much
promise. He was one Of the hardest
hitting fielders on the Cornell baseball
team last spring.
me entire varsity team was ON the
held to-day. The practice was rather
llght, though short line scrimmape
was held, in which individual instruc-
ton for line and ends was a feature.

Usually, we're not much
concerned about our neigh
bors' prices!
we have to chuckle,
however, when we hear
customers in our stores say
ing, "Why! You're lower
than So-and-So!"
That's the worst of hav-
ing a reputation for Quail
ity. Som e b ody's apt to
think we're high!
Well, even though we
speak Of it every so often,
we can't expect everybody
to know of the economic

Nor can we expect every
man and boy to reason out
that large and flrst-hand
handling naturally have
much to do with keeping
costs down.
Nor that our policy of
taking only a normal profit
on actual cost at time of
purchase makes a lot of diff
ference when you go to buy.
We don't like to make
comparisons, but after all
is there any other way to
show that a Quality House

Legislature Begins 37th Day
At 2 O'clock This Afternoon
by WILLIAM L. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, August 1s.-(special.)
Beginning their thirty seventh legisla-
tive day at o'clock Wednesday after
noon the two branches of Alabama S
general assembly are expected to have
one of their busiest days session during
1919
Many committees will have reports
to make The senate will have up the
revenue bill, which was discussed and
adopted in part by the committee of the
whole on Tuesday.
AS unfinished business the house of
representatives will have the public
utilities commission BILL which was be-
ing handled on last Friday when adj
journment was voted. Salary increase
sections of the bill will precipitate the
biggest fight opponents of the bill have
to offer, it is believed. The bill would
change the name of the Alabama public
service commission to the Alabama rail-
road and public utilities commission, in
creasing the salaries of the three mem
bers and giving them additional duties.
on Friday that section whi1a
changes the salaries was voted down,
Then an amendment to the original
bill placing back the old salaries, was
introduced and was being discussed
