UNITY, THE GREAT NEED OF THE
RACE AT PRESENT.

This is an age OF monopolies,
trusts, combines and unions. II one
must enter combat with skilled an
tagonist II behOoves him to be armed
with weapons that will best insure
his success.
Concerted action and collective bar
gaining have proven to be the most
effective weapons Of this commercial
age. In fact, no class or race OF
people can scarcely hope for success
unless II Is thus armed. The Negro
race can not hope to be any except
ion to this most universal law.
Organization is an effective weapon
for both defensive and offensive pur-
poses the fateful mandate--unite OF
perish--has gone forth to the ciyili-
zed world. Shall the Negro race
plod heedlessly on whilst the rest
Of the civilized world is organizing
TO wage the greatest economic and in
dustrial conflict the world has ever
known. The Negro people must get
together II the hope to secure for
themselves a reasonable portion OF
the benefits that should come to the
yictors In the great worlds war
During this period OF reconstruction
and REIMBURSEMENT of the worlds ac-
tiyities TO q peace basis. the voice OF
the individual will not be heard
Only large groups and Organizations
will be able to obtain hearing.
Where the world again swings into
her accustomed stride. with peace
guaranteed for ages by the League
Of Nations" grievances left unadjust-
ed may be compelled to await
another upheavel Of the worlds
peaceful relations. Hence at this pc
riod the peoples OF the entire civilized
world are pressing to have their
grievances adjusted.
Will the Negro unite his forces
and for once present an unbroken
front to the world in order to obtain
a hearing at this most opportune
moment? Do not forget that this
is a time of reconstruction. A time
at which every race and class OF
people is trying to secure berth
in which 1t may be compelled to re-
main perhaps for centuries. Each
one seems TO think now is the psy-
Geological moment for the adjustment
Of his grievances.
In our humble opinion the peoples
OF the world are not mistaken. Now
is the time for re-adjustments, Let
the Negro people be unit as to
those grievances which most affect
their economic, industrial and So
cial welfare. When our leaders ap-
pear before the proper tribunal for
the REIMBURSEMENT of those evils that
have proven such in the past, they
must feel that a united race stands
at their back and supports their
every contention.

EDITORIAL ECHOES.

Germany is always ready to change
sides, to repudiate pledge, and to
betray friend; but amid all her
infidelities she is ambition. If Ger
many cannot actually rule Russia,
and possess the vast potential riches
of the Slab dominions. Germany in
tends to. rule the rulers of Russia,
whoever they may be. Therefore it
was first of all necessary to weaken
Russia; and as no solvent more eff
fectually destroys the national fibre
than the vitrol of anarchy. so Ger

The results of the great worlds
war, in 50. far as it directly affected
the Negro race have been very dis
quieting. The effect in many ways
has been directly opposite to that
anticipated We have often heard 1t
said that where ignorance Is bliss
IL Is folly to be wise" Could 1t be
possible that the Negro soldier be-
came wise uron matters that were
detrimental 20 his own interest?
One thing Is sure, the consensus of
opinion Of the Negro, is that the
war has not given him firmer grasp
upon the objections of his white
neighbor

What We Escaped

1t appears that the first proposal
was to try Wilhelm Hohenzollern
for his manifold crimes and in
iquities in America. Admitting
that it would be heart breaking for
him to find himself placed in the
custody of "those ridiculous Yam
kees," it is a matter for congratu-
lation that we escaped that desc
Grafton Of our soil.
No person Of any sense would
think of mentioning the name of
Napoleon and that of the fugitive
Kaiser in the same breath. The
first was one Of the greatest SOL
diers of history and a statesman
of the highest constructive genius

Under the chaperonage of Mile.
Tanguen the house has become a
French house where no other
language is spoken. The meals and
the housekeeping are all conduct
ed just as they would be in a
French household, and the social
activities which are gradually
broadening are carried out in the
same spirit. In other words the
French language at Columbia this
summer has a home OF its own,
and the interest and knowledge of
the students taking French is in
creased accordingly. Several Uni
versity professors give courses
especially adapted to the life at
the French house. Columbia Uni
versity expects to try this same
plan for the regular work next
year and also to establish the same
system for other languages.

STORAGE PROBLEM
HAS BECOME ACUTE
Lack of Housing Facilities Ag.
qravates the Situation

The return of the men from
overseas to their homes in the
large cities of the country has en-
phasized a condition that has at
tracted little notice in the housing
problem, but has now become
acute. Every storage warehouse
in New York where household
furniture can be placed is reported
full to overf1owing. The wives and
families who stored their furniture
while their men-folks were over
seas, can't find flats or houses or
apartments in which to start up
housekeeping again. Those that
are available are so high-priced
that many can not afford to rent.
On the other hand those renters
who want to give up their flats and
apartments and store their furni-
ture till rents are cheaper, can't
find storage room, and if they did
it would be about as high as the
rents. These conditions have pro-
duced a deadlock that new New
York hasn't found how to deal
with. Meanwhile the moving vans
and the workmen are practically
idle. ,.,
A glance at sor:e; u u the large
municipalities reveals that the
lack vi housing and other causes
have put high premium on space
for the storage of the contents of
dwellings and apartments. Those
in Philadelphia have been oc-
cupied to the limit for several
months, while in Pittsburgh 95
per cent of the space available fol
that purpose has been leased. Out
at Berkeley, CAL, every inch OF
space for household goods is re-
ported as being rented. Denver
has a record Of SO per cent, ant
Washington and Baltimore ware
housemen have all the bushes:

$500 In Prizes For
Overseas Experiences

Nearly every lad who went over
seas has an interesting story to
tell-pathetic, amusing, or tender
of some child in France. Per-
haps it is little Pierre who crept
in to eat with him at mess; or
Marcelline whom he found, white
faced and terror-stricken, in the
cellar of a ruined house; or Henri,
whose father was killed in the
trenches and whose mother was
taken to Germany by the enemy !;
or it may have been Aimee who
insisted upon being adopted by
the "Americaine." At any rate,
there is always story and child.
For such stories as these, or
simple ones telling of the friend
ship between the French child and
the American soldier, l78 cash
prizes are offered. Soldiers, sail
ors, marines, men and women who
were in France during the war in
any capacity, or their families
sweethearts or f:.t.ends, are invited

APPOINTS HEAD OF
BUSINESS DEPARTMENT
Delaware College to Resume
Course Omitted Dur
ing the War

DR.. Homer Hoyt has been ap-
pointed to the chair of Economics
and Business Administration at
Delaware College, and courses in
Accounting, Business Administra-
tion and Business Law will re-
sumed in the fall under the direc-
tion Of DR.. Hoyt. The department
was established in 1917, with DR..
Fred C. Clark as instructor, and
attracted a large number Of STU
dents preparing for business
career, but was suspended during
the war, due to the absorption of
all available economic experts in
government work.
DR.. Hoyt is graduate of Beloit
College, Wisconsin, where he re-
ceived the B. A. degree. He won
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
at the University of Chicago.
where he pursued postgraduate
studies in the School Of Commerce,
supplementing his studies in busi-
ness administration with a course
in law, SO that he is admirably
trained both in the economic and
the legal aspects of his subject.
DR.. Hoyt received practical train
ing during the war, when he was
called to the War Trade Board
with which he acted as the econo-
mic expert in handling the lumber
interests of the whole country. DR.
Hoyt is a contributor to the Am
erican Journal of Political Econ
ony, and the Annals of the Ameri
can Academy of Political and So
cial Science, Of Philadelphia.
The revival of the Department
of Business Administration an
swers an urgent demand among
the students, with whom its pop
ularity was established in 1917-1e
Donald P. Horsey, of Dover, of tn
class Of 1917, as result of studie
in this department, recently re

before he became ambitious to rule
the world he had saved democratic
ideas in Europe, as brought out
by the French Revolution, from
a reactionary league of sovereigns.
If he had accepted the Rhine as a
boundary he would have saved
himself and the world from infin-
lite calamities.
On the other hand, Wilhelm
Hohenzollern has never shown
himself to he a soldier, and his
influence as statesman has been
purely destructive. At no time
were the Allies willing to COM
promise with him.
After the Hundred Days Napol.
con, fearing to fall into the hands
Of the restored Bourbons, proposed
to change his name and retire to
remote part of England, to stay
there-the world forgetting, by
the word Forgotten the rest of
his life. To this no aswer was re-
turned. He then asked Great
Britain to allow him to go to the
United States. This was refused.
Finally, without trial, he was hur-
ried to the Island of St. Helena.
Later on those who carried out the
orders of the government were
protected by a retroactive act of
Parliament.
It is admitted that Great Britain
and her allies made mistake in
not dealing with Napoleon the
Great with an eye to strict legal
ity. Much less can America and
her allies afford to deal in a loose
manner with the former Wilhelm
the Little, the universal law
breaker.-New York Herald.

out evidence of graft. The Re-
search Bureau was instructed to
look for something bigger than
graft and manifestations of evil
doing. They were to find what was
wrong with the fundamental struc-
ture of the government so that the
proper remedy might be applied.
Essentials of Efficient Government
Popular government by the peO-
pie, he said, does not and cannot
exist; but government for the peO-
pie has infinite possibilities. The
essentials of responsible and eff
. ficient government he enumerated
as follows:
1. Responsiveness and Respon-
sibility to the will of the people
who have the right to say who
shall occupy the Offices which
should be limited to a few, held by
persons with authority to appoint
others responsible to them as they
are to the people.
2. Simplicity, directness of con-
troll through a few trunk lines, Sc
to speak, not through mazes of
cross currents that hinder and de-
lay operations.
8. Organization for action. The
demand of government today is
for interference with those who
hinder public welfare. The neces-
sity for unification for efficient
action was illustrated by the sue.
cess Of the allied armies under uni.
fled command.
4. Divorce of politics and ad,
ministration. Politics, he said
corrupts administration and adj
ministration makes politics petty
Unification is the necessary
thing. This is being worked out
and two methods have been de,
veloped, the Commission Plan ant
the Managerial Plan. The problem
of interdependence instead of in.
dependence is the necessary thing
to solve for the kind of govern.
ment that will conform to sound
business principles.

West Virginia Towns Judge
Their Own Progress

"A number of towns and rural
communities in West Virginia
have started an unusual competi-
tion. For several years they have
peen judging their communities
by a number of definite points in
regard to community Improvement,
just as they judge their cows, pigs
and sheep.
Nine general headings, such as
history, government, business,
farms, clubs, homes, schools,
churches, and health cover the
principal factors thought worthy
of consideration in determining
the strength and virility of the
community. When several COM
munities are scored, it is evidently
possible to build up spirit of
friendly rivalry by comparison
with similar communities, as well
as to judge the progress made by
each community from year to year
