BRITISH ARMY HORSES
TO Be SOLD TO ARABS

LONDON, Dec. % Correspondence
of the Associated Press) Owing to
lack OF ships TO bring them to Eng
land. 100000 horses and mules of the
British army in the eastern theaters
Of the war are to be sold to the Arabs
or destroyed. That announcement has
been made by Major General Sir W
II. 1irk5eck. director of remounts. He
has also stated that of the British
army's total of 100000 horses in
Europe, large number of which were
purchased in the United States, only
those that are sound and under twelve
years old will be shipped here.
About $4,000 war horses are to be
brought to England, and Belgium is
to have $4,000 for reconstruction
work. General Birkbeck said:
I'VE want to distribute them all
over the country by big sales, in cities
up to 100 animals. and to smaller
towns up to %. There is an unac-
countable prejudice against mules in
this country. At present we have in
England about 10000 mules, many of
which we want to sell. but people
don't seem inclined to buy them The
mule Is an economical animal which
does not eat so much as horse, and
for every horse that goes sick, less
than half a mule is sick"

GENERAL WILLIAMS RETURNS
HOME

General Roger ID. Williams, re-
tired, who has been in France since
last June, has returned to his home
on leave of sixty days.
General Williams has had many
years experience in military affairs
and guided the destinies of the First
Brigade turnout the Mexican trou-
bles, and when war was declared
was given command Of the 10th Bri-
gade Infantry at Camp Shelby, Hat
tiesburg, Miss, comprising all the
Indiana troops then in service.
In May, 1918, General Williams
was retired by an army medical
board because of physical disability.
The first finding of the board dis
qualified him for overseas duty only,
but the generals one ambition was
to get "across" and he requested a
supplemental report making retire
ment complete to enable him to ac-
cept service in the military branch
of the American Red Cross.
He sailed for France in June,
1918, and was assigned as liaison
officer with the headquarters of the
First Army under General Liggett,
comprising all the divisions then in
the fighting line at the front. Later
he was in the same capacity with
the Eighth Army Corps with Major
General Henry T. Allen at Montigny-
sur-Aube. AS a liaison officer Gen
eral Williams was present when
many of the most important drives
were launched and carried forward.
He saw the Americans go forward
at Montfaucon, st. Juvin, Grand
Pre-, st. Mihiel, and Buzancy in the
Argonne drive.
Since the cessation of hostilities
General Williams has been the dis
ciplinary officer in Paris. He was
granted a sixty day leave of abb
sence and made the trip from
France to American by way of Eng
land.

ALFALFA WINS ITS WAY.

The acreage of alfalfa in Kentuc-
ky is growing quite rapidly. The
farmers are learning that it is
cheaper for them to lime their land
than it is for the Western grower to
irrigate his fields. OF course, farm
ers have to learn to grow alfalfa just
as they would any other crop with
which they were not thoroughly fam
liar.

this wonderful forage plant but is
interested, can now secure alfalfa"

Fails to See Berlin

Immediately after the armistice,
General Williams visited his son,
Captain Williams, then stationed in
Germany with the Army of Occupa-
ton. He attempted to enter Berlin,
but was stopped and turned back at
Munster.
While in Germany General Will
Jams was billeted nightly with the
families of German citizens and was
deeply impressed with the fact that
they seem to have no resentment or
feeling against Americans, altho
they were bitter against the French
and the English. They look upon
Americans more as delverers than
conquerors for they undoubtedly
were tired of horrors and hardships
of war.
He was also much surprised to
learn of the attitude of the Ameri-
can soldiers without exception to-
wards the Germans. He made a
point of investigation, and does not
hesitate to say they liked the Ger
mans far better than they did the
French. He attributes it largely to
the greed and avarice of the French
in their dealings with the soldiers as
they never failed to discrimina.o
against the Americans and took UNI
fair advantage of them whenever
the opportunity presented itself.

Never Sick a Day

Notwithstanding the fact that he
had been disqualified from overseas
service by the army because of phys
ical disability, he was never sick a
day and came thru without casual
ty.
General Williams had reunion
with his son, Captain Roger ID. Will
Jams, Jr., in France. He was with
his sons regiment at Monfaucon. In
this engagement more than seventy
per cent of the officers of the regl-
ment were killed or wounded. Capt.
Williams was then the commander
of the Trench Mortar and Machine
Gun Battery of the Sixty-frst In
fantry, a regular army unit.
The General said that he was glad
to be back in Kentucky after so
long away from it. For three years
he has been in almost continuous
services and peace finds him ready
to enter the life of civilian. While
he was only extended a sixty day
leave should peace be signed before
that period expires he will not return
to France.

PERSONAL SERVANT
CAUSED A PECK OF
TROUBLE TO MASTERS
lBy Associated Negro Presal

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. Ia
Minneapolis never had a race war, but
it did have a~near riot with a Colored
person as its cause before the Civil
war But il was for the benefit of the
slave
In those days, many southerners
came up the river to spend the sum
mer here. Their favorite stopping
place was the old Winslow house. a
huge hotel which was torn down in
1888 TO make way for the Exposition
building.
The trouble came in connection
with Colored woman who was
brought here as a slave by St Louis
doctor and his family as their per
sonal servant on their vacation.
Slavery was then very live issue.
When the slave woman desired to
claim freedom because she was in a
free state, her owner objected but
her claim attracted instant and gen
eral support from the Minneapolis of
that day. She was taken away from
her master and solicitously cared for
by the women, while the men turned
out en- masse prepared TO nullify any
forcible attempt to return her to servi-
tude The whole town was ready to
fight her battle for her.
This was before the final bred Scott
decision. The woman did not gain
her freedom, but the incident made
southerners chary about bringing
slaves into Minnesota.

MERIDIAN, Miss, Aug ia real
interesting story comes from Wayne
County, where last week serious race
trouble was anrrowly averted, accord
ing to those who attended the session
of the court, which ended last Satur-
day 1t is said that the residents of
Beat 5 in that county armed them
selves with shot guns and repelled
the importation of large number of
Negro laborers into that section by
lumber company.
According to authoritative informa-
tion, Beat 5 has been one of those
sections where no Negroes were al
lowed, particularly some parts of the
beat. About thirty years ago tract
of timber was bought by big lumber
concern and on warning they obeyed
the request not to send Negroes into
the section.
Recently another lumber company
bought some timber in that section
and the residents sent a committee
requesting that no Negroes be used
except on the trains and on road bed
work This warning it is said, was
disregarded and last week a trainload
of Negro workmen was started into
that section. The train was met by
large armed body and the frightened
Negroes jumped from the cars through
the windows and doors, and made
their escape.
The matter, it is said, was present
ed to the grand jury but so far as
can be learned, no indictments were
returned.

ed out that the riots are mostly caus-
ed by dissatisfaction and a mob spirit
among the floating population of the

lisions are serious and all right-mind-
ed citizens must labor to avert them.
81 would advise the Negro to be pa
tient, tolerant and law-abfding, alb
stain from all revengeful methods, re-
member that lawlessness begets law
lessness: that reforms are not accom-
plished in day; that neither the
North nor the South can be changed
into a paradise in a year after the
war; and that he must come into the
dawn of new day and into equal
rights and privileges with the white.
81 am unalterably opposed to vio-
lence and bloodshed and advise my
race against any propaganda that
would attempt to procure our rights
through these methods. We can ac-
complish more by moral suasion, by
appealing to friendly newspapers like
the World and to our white friends
North and South to help us in our
struggle for our manhood rights, than
by violence and bloodshed The road
to liberty has often been through the
sword, but the Negro should not seek
il by that weapon.
Il see far more to encourage than
to discourage. I am looking for no
general collisions in the South among
the races. The great daily papers of
Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville.
Montgomery and other cities are
pleading for justice to the Negro and
for the continued harmony of the
races. Let the Negro look hopefully

Especial to the Tribune)

Trusted agents of the Department
of Justice and OTHER governmental or

mine exactly what is behind the
spread of assault and murder through
ont the northern states.
The situation admittedly is very
serious Starting here in Washing
ton, there have been race clashes in a
dozen other localities, eliminating in
the recent rioting in Chicago
Scope of Inquiry
The inquiry now under foot is de-
signed to determine these facts:
First: Whether there actually ex-
lists a regularly organized body whose
object is to stir up racial hatred in
order to emphasize apparent unrest
in the United States.
Second: Whether there is any con-
hection between the present series of
race riots and the pro-German propa.
ganda that Immediately preceded the
entrance of the United States in the
war
Third: Whether there is any actual
connection between the present race
disturbance and the activities of the
w. W., a score of whose leaders
now are under severe prison sen
tences.
Naturally, the officers concerned in
the investigation are not talking for
publication. Privately, they declare
the less said about their work the
easier it will be- However, it is gen
orally accepted that steps are being
token to combat further spread of the
disturbances. In this connection it
is known that the authorities have Sc
cured possession of much important
information as the result of the arrest
of leaders of the recent rioting here
in Washington.
