Neither Mohammedanism nor Bud-

theory or practice. Theoretically
Christianity has no color line, but
practically in America the principal

colored people.
Bishop Hartzell one of the greatest
OF M. E. bishops, once Bishop of
Africa, who spent many years on the
African continent said that the super.
lority of the Mohammedan African
over the Christian African was most

the Christian did not respect himself
and of course did not command re-
spect.

pant Of the "Jim Crow" coaches dur
ing times of peace. ~
The pity of the whole despicable
business is that our country is not
great enough to live up to it's own
constitution, not noble enough to fol-
low the precepts Of it's own Christian
ity! 1t basely bows to the caprice
Of prejudice and condemns it's own
citizens to scorn, contempt and humili-
alton. The burden of this petty pass
port problem need not be placed on
the shoulders of France, for that glor-
ious country has ever been great
enough to honor and protect it's citi-
zens, regardless Of race, regardless
of color. The tint of the skin, the
curl OF the hair, has never been the
badge of humiliation in La Belle,
France; and 80 in her time of need,
gloriously did her sable SONS rally to
her support. The day will come when
America on Bonded knee will cry for
help. Will there still remain forgiv-

or will they all have been brutally
done to death by the mob, the tree,

DR.. CLANCY Is WORRIED

DR.. Rockwell Clancy of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church is worried about
the menace" Of Mohammedanism and
Buddhism in American. Says he:
Thrice every day 5000 followers
OF Mohammed in America turn their
faces toward Mecca and pray. And
where the American flag floats over
the Philippine islands 100000 persons
are followers of Islam. Buddhism also
had set up it's cross legged god in our
west. There are seventy-four Bud
dhist temples in the United States"
Japanese brides-to-be are met at the
ports in the west by Buddhist priests
and the marriage ceremony is per-
formed according to Buddhistic ritual.
1T is the plan of the centenary
movement to have ministers of the
Christian religion meet these ships"
wrote DR.. Clancy. "The world recon
struction program of the centenary
makes provision for neutralizing and
ultimately removing other non Chris
tian influences in the religious life of
the country"

LEGATION of Sunday newspapers has
been adopted by the Presbyterians at
their general assembly at st. Louis.
Spirited discussion preceded the
adoption of the Sunday newspaper res
olution, which calls on members of
the church not to "subscribe for, read,
or advertise in it,"
The Rev. DR.. John A. McCullom of
Philadelphia charged the commission
ers with insincerity
LET us be sensible about the ques.
tion," he declared. What the church
needs more than anything else is sin
cerity. I did a little detective work
around the hotels yesterday and saw
two former moderators, many of the
secretaries of boards, and about half
the commissioners here reading Sun
day papers. The Sunday paper is just
as necessary as the Sunday trolley,
which you attempted to condemn sew
eral years ago."
Yes, Brother McCullom, the Presby-
terians, as we'll as all other brands of
orthodox alleged Christians of Ameri-
ca. All claim to believe in the Fa-
therhood of God and the Brotherhood
of man, but few years ago the gen.
eral assembly of Presbyterians thrust
their colored membership without the
pale of brotherhood by permitting
segregation in synods.

APOLOGISTS WARNED,

A cablegram from Paris states that
messages threatening violence if they
sign the peace treaty have been re-
ceived by the Chinese delegation from
various parts of China. A dispatch
sent by $4,000 citizens of Shantung
province, says:
1.-The traitors to our countries, Tsao
Yu-Lin minister of communications
whose house was burned at Peking),
and Chang Tsung-Hsiang (former
minister to Japan, who was severely
beaten by the Chinese), deserved
death for the blow suffered by the
Chinese people.

ment upon returning to China. We
cannot give ear to apologies. Do not
fail us. We are much in earnest"
The Chinese evidently mean busi-
ness and as they are experts in deity
removing heads with one blow of the
axe, it is likely that the ENJOYS will
sit up and take notice."
In recent years the colorsd people
OF the United States have been be-
trayed by their alleged leaders. In
stead of demanding THE rights of the
race, they have in many instances sold
out.
THE APPEAL does not advocate
the Chinese plan of decapitation of the
men who sell out, but such creatures
should be cut off from the society of
respectable people. They are not fit

A CHURCH TRUST.

In these days of Peace Leagues and
other lesser world Organizations. it
is not strange that some American
protestants hoping that they might ex-
tend the dominion of their jimcrow
works, conceived the plan of a great
world union of churches as a trust.
A committee of prominent American
churchmen hied itself to Rome to see
the Pope and convert him to the
Utopian scheme.
His Holiness received them cordi.
ally, but suggested that as the pro.
testants had left the Romish church
some hundreds of years ago, it would
be in good taste for them to return
and If they did so, the Mother Church
would receive the wanderers to her
bosom.

HAVE THE GOODS on POLES.


The recently liberated Poles have
been celebrating their new found free
dom by massacres of their Jewish fel
low citizens. When the reports first
reached this country prominent Amer.
lean Poles denied the accusations, but
American Jews of wealth sent com.
mittee to investigate and their report
has been sent to the various Jewish
organizations and has also been pre-,
sented to the state department.
Conditions in Poland were described
as being worse than in any other sec.
ton. 1t was charged that the Polish
government not only had made no eff.
fort to stop the pogroms, but in many
cases melted the demonstrations.
A mission Of five men investigating
conditions in Poland reported they
had authoritative information that DO
groms took place recently in Kalish,
Dombrovo, Chmolnik, Pinchow, Stup-
mich, Wielum, Bust and in several
smaller towns. 1t was declared that
Jews who escaped death were sub
jected to terrible mistreatment. :"

A pogrom in Pinsk on April 5. in

Chicago, May 29.-Two armed
guards maintain twenty-four hour vigil
at the steel bar gratings on the front
and rear windows of a stately old
stone front mansion at 48O7 Grand
boulevard, built as a home for Max
Leopold, wealthy Chicago clothing
manufacturer.
Their vigilance did not save the
mansion from attack last night-the
second in two weeks. A bomb was
tossed on the roof, exploding with SUI
hclent force to blast a hole through
the attic ceiling and break windows in
the mansion and nearby residence and
apartment building. No one was in
jured.
Aimed at CoIored Families.
Since May 1 the mansion has been
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Richard B.
Harrison, their two children, and D. S.
Coulter, lifelong friend of the fam
lily. They are colored. Mr.. Harrison
is travelling dramatic reader. Mrs.
Harrison is one of Chicago's most
| noted pianists, graduate of the Chi
cago Conservatory of Music. The
Harrisons bought the mansion last
January and moved in May 1.
All the other residents of the block
are white.
The first bomb was exploded in the
rear of the building May 10. Through
colored maid, employed by a white
| family in the block. Mrs. Harrison is
said to have received information an
effort would be made to compel them
to move. She then retained the guards.
Hurled from Roof.
! However, the attack last night was
without warning. Police of the South
wabash avenue station believe the
| bomb was thrown from the roof of a
nearby building.
The vicinity is occupied by the
homes of number of wealthy Chi
| cagOans.
Among them are Frederick A. Poor,
president of the P. & M. company, rail-
| way supplies, living at 1900 Grand
| boulevard; Leonard J. Stadeker, i'm
porter and director of the Birmingham
& Vicksburg railroad, at 1854; Mrs.
