GIVEN RADICAL
TEST, REPORT
(By Associated Press)

Washington, April 12.-Company
of the 339th infantry was identlIIed
oy General March as the unit which
recently refused to return to the
front line trenches in the Archangel
sector when ordered to do so by their
officers.
A supplementary report to the
department on the incident said it
was worthy of note that the ques-
tions put by Company | to their Of
ficers were identical with the ques-
tions which the BolshevIk propagan-
da advise dthat they put to ghem.'
The department has not received
copies of the Bolshevik lea1iets con-
tanning these questions and General
March said he was extremely anxious
to secure one.
"In my long service" General
March said, 81 do not recall another
instance where American soldiers did
not want to go into a fight. They
always said:
LEAD us to it
General March did not indicate what
the latest reports showed as to the
present state of discipline of the

Mexican Residents Voice a
Protest Against Their

Ored School.

Racial friction between cCIorea and
Mexican pupils attending the Book

oated serious situation, which me
ichool trustees will be asked to slove
at their next meeting.
Recurrence CT spats and disagree
nents between the children OF the
Two 1acs has resulted in threats from
the parents of many Mexican chill
dren to withdraw their children from
the school.
After a quiet campaign for funds
the Sociedad Union Jaurez, compris-
ing in its membership practically all
he Mexican colony. raised funds and
2as built "a modest little school build
ing on Brighton street. They have
also signed petitions to be placed in
he hands of the school board, ask
ng for an order separating the two
races, permitting the MeX1cans to
occupy the new school building, and
for the employment of an English
teacher.
The alleged bad feeling between
he Mexicans and the negroes and its
elimination in the plans for sep
arate school was publicly announced
at the morning session OF the Amerl-
,anizatiOn conference held at the Tu-
lane theatre under the auspices of
the State Commission on immigration
and Housing.
William Clay Silver, representing
the Juarez Society, presented the case
of the MeXicans. He stated that
about 500 had been expended in
erecting the Brighton street building
and said the Mexicans thought it no
more than lust that they should have
4 separate school or that their chill
dren should he allowed admittance
INTO white schools.
Among those who signed the pro
test submitted to Superintendent
Shibey of the county schools We're:
Pedro c. Chavdes, president: Con-
cepcion Corral, vice president: Ga

Yesterday | had some very close
what an interest all OF you took IN
store yesterday four times, and each
the words were said 10 me wrong. Ii
you can't remember the words, just
read them to me.
One of the gentlemen came up to
m in the drug store. He had d
very hand time to START ana when he
finally got the words out OF his
mouth, this is what he sald:
Pardon me, please" (You see,
he put in the please, and that Is what
lost him the hundred dollars)
A tall gentleman and lady from
Brawley bought subscriptions and
they started in, but | went by just
after and the man who looking after
the babies and the lady was reading
the paper to find out what to say.
We Just had big wonderful time
during the hour | was there and if
you keep that interest up it will not
be long before | am caught. The
very best part of the whole day was
when one of the men went up to an
other lady-and will admit that
she looks like me- He said the words
to her and the whole crowd gathered
around and after she had to him that
she was not Bonnie Burr, he would
not believe her and kept saying the
words over and over again to her for
nearly half an hour.
The crowd kept getting bigger and
as Jack told him that she was not
the Bonnie Burr still he would not
let her 90. So as the time was up
| came back to the place and had
to convince them all that this lady
was not Bonnie Burr. The clerk in
the Greenleaf & Clements drug store
said that ! might as well bring the
hundred dollars along with me, but
when | gave them the chance that
they wanted they did not take the
chance.

way all of you have taken up the
hunt for me- | could tell you, dear
friends, about many things | heard

Monroe Doctrine amendment by the
League Of Nations Commission last
night is described by those present
as having been of a dramatic charac-
ter, concluding with speech by
President Wilson deprecating the OPP
position which had been expressed
and upholding the doctrine as one
of the great bulwarks against abso-
lutism. The debate came late IN
the session, after other subjects had
been passed upon.
The British attitude had been in
doubt until the last, but Lord Rob

nouncing that he saw no objection

sented by the present.
