any COUNTRY is THE WORLD"

1t was In 1888, on July 18th, that
William Lloyd Garrison, speaking at
Exeter Hall, London, England, uttered
the momentous words: my country is
the world; my countrymen are all
mankind"
Garrison's words are the ones which
! will be treasured by the ages. They
are sparks from the fire within him.
They illuminate his breadth of mind,
his Catholic spirit and his indomitable
courage. In the summer Of 1888, ever
active and resourceful for the freedom
OF the American slave, he visited Eng.
land. By this time he had become q
national character.
The Liberator, the ranti-slavery or
gan, which had as its motto, "Our
Country is the world, Our Country
men Mankind" was two years old.
He had been imprisoned in Baltimore,
the Georgia legislature had offered a
price for his head, and on his way
to his ship at New York, through Con-
necticut, he was pursued by sheriff
with writs~ for his apprehension.
But he reached London safely. It

worker, George Thompson, he was
shown some attention by the anti
slavery element in London Garrison
was the accredited agent of the New
England anti-slavery society, and his
object was the collection of funds for
the establishment OF manual training
schools for the youth of African blood
in the United States.
Another object was to combat an
African colonization scheme, to which
Garrison was firmly opposed. A meet.
ing was arranged for the American
champion of the American slave at
Exerter Hall on the evening Of July
18th. The great auditorium was
packed. Garrison was introduced by
George Thompson. He began thus:
"Mr. Chairman, it is long since 1

tional and local prejudices upon the
altar of Christian love, and breaking
down the narrow boundaries of a sell

NO FREEDOM FOR FILlPlNOS.

NO FREEDOM FOR FILIPlNOS.
The Republican leaders in Congress
have reached a decision to postpone
Indefinitely the question of granting
independence to the Philippines.
The Porto Ricans, who also have
been clamoring for independence, have
been satisfied for the time being by
promises of congressional action to
relieve them of conditions they find
irksome.
Having laid these specters of self
determination in our own family
closet, for the time being at least,
Congress will be able to give it's time
to the question of Irish independence.
In other words Congress refuses to
act upon questions clearly within it's
jurisdiction and is preparing to NEEDLE
with the internal affairs of Great
Britain.
Can you beat it?

we withhold the name and address
of the writer for fear that he may
be punished for sending the letter,
which follows: ..-....... III.
Somewhere in. France, June 4, 1919.
To the Editor of THE APPEAL:
I am writing to let you know what
our boys are doing in France and
what is being done to us. We landed
at Sainte Nazaire, city of 10000
people, and trained a while under
great odds. We were then ordered
to the front and were getting ready
to go when the armistice was signed.
We all wanted to go, as there was
not a man in the whole division who
had a streak of yellow down his back.
We are now located at -, France,
that is two companies, and the Med
ical Corps and the other companies
are at different places. The two
companies are in charge of two large
mess halls and can feed about 5000
in the Medical Department look after
the sick in the camp and examine
the troops that are embarking for
home.
What we are doing here is not ap-
preciated, and there is great deal of
segregation over here. In some
places you can see in large letters
signs reading FOR WHITE TROOPS
| ONLY. At the white young Mems
Christian Association" in camp COL
ored soldier cannot buy anything and
when you attend movie show you
are roped off. And why? Just to
satisfy the Southern white man. The
colored soldier has caused less trou-
BILE than any other soldier in this
country. Something ought to be done.
We have done our bit toward world
democracy and we must enjoy little
OF it. We are going to demand it
when we return. No doubt you have
heard of the faults of the Y. M. G.. A.
and they are true in the respects that
1 state. I hope you will take this
matter up with some men who have
political influence and make an in
vestigation of the things which exist
over here before it is too late.
There is another thing we should
like to know. Why are colored troops
being held in France and then not al
lowed to enlist in the Army of Occu-
patton? You see, these are the
things which confront us daily. Al
ways something to hold us down.
Our only friend in need is the Red
Cross. 1t is the best organization
in France and is everywhere the SOL
diers are. The service is good and
the prices for their canteen are cheap,
and every man who wears the O. D.
uniform is the same to them. This
is also true of the Salvation Army and
the Knights of Columbus, and when
these organizations appeal for money
they need it and hope that every
one who is able to subscribe will
do so. Yours very truly,
1t is outrageous that the conditions
described should exist and appeals
should be made to the powers that
be to right these wrongs. So far as
the Y. M. G. A. is concerned, THE
APPEAL has never had any faith in
it. 1t is one of the greatest fakes
the world has ever known and has
probably done more to cultivate race
hatred than any organization with the
word "Christian" as part of it's title

Apparent Decay of Religion
Given as Reason For Mar

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 10.-An in
crease of 400 per cent in the number
of divorces annually granted in the
United States during the last half
century was attributed in the
Worlds Christian Citizenship Con-
ference here to-day to the "disap-
pearance of the family altar and the
apparent decay of religion" The
report containing that assertion was
made by Judge w. H. Thomas, of
Santa Ana, Cal, chairman of the
World Commission on the Family.
The seeming dissolution of the
religious theory of marriage has
been one of the big items in the in
stability of the family, the judge de-
clared. After that came nineteen
other contributing causes, which he
cited as follows:
Other Reasons
The growing spirit of individual

Greasy Wants u. S.
to Hold Railroads
Two More Years
BY Associated Press

Washington, Nov. 10.-Retention
of the roads under government own
ership for at least two years more
was advocated in an interview by
William Z. Greasy. of Catawissa, Pa,
chairman of the executive committee
of the National Board of Farm Or
ganizations and for sixteen years a
member of the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature. Mr.. Greasy, in opposing the
announced intention of President
Wilson to return the roads to pri-
vate management on the first of the
year, said the utmost care should be
exercised in dealing with the ma
tional transportation systems, and
that to take precipitate action might
result in irreparable injury both to
the roads and the vast number OF
citizens who own them.
In taking that position, Mr.. Greasy
lines up with the recently announc-
ed position of the railroad brother
hoods, who have turned from the
Plumb plan to a continuation of gov
ernment control.
