Supt. c. c.

RACE LEADER SAYS NEED
 NOT FEAR NEGRO SOLDIERS

Tuskegee, Ala, Jan. 23.-ln dis cussing before the twenty-eighth an- nuaI Tuskegee negro conference the question of the negro in the South after the war, Emmett J. Scott, spe- ciaI assistant to the secretary of war, in matters affecting the inter ests of negro soldiers, sought to al lay and dissipate the spirit of un- rest and apprehension regarding the return of discharged negro soldiers, which he said, seemed to prevail in the South.
 ssTha fear over the negro's home coming is, in my opinion, without foundation" said Dr. Scott. "Thous- ands of them volunteered for military and naval service regardless of the selective service law and they will return no less anxious to perform their full duties as citizens.
 eThey will return both physically and mentally benefited by reason of military training and experience and with a broader vision and apprecia- tion of American citizenship as well as with new ideas of what liberty and freedom (not license) really means.

AssE MBLY HAS
 BROAD POWER
Is Expected to Be in Session Two M0nths-First Work Is to Form
 New German Government.

Berlin, Wednesday, Jan. 22.-The German National Assembly, which will convene at Weimar February 6, IS expected to be in session about two months. The first business before the assembly will be the selection of provisional government because the present government considers it's ex- istence at an end with the convening of a constituent assembly.
 The assembly will then take up the adoption of constitution. The present government will not present any proposal, and the draft drawn up by the ministry of the interior will be submitted merely as a prelimin- ary suggestion to form the basis of discussion.
 The obligatory task of the consti- tuent assembly will be finished with the adoption of a constitution, but it has the right to make of itself a con- stituted, instead of constituting body and this probably will be done. In that case the assembly will be obliged to regulate tax and financial questions by legislation.
 The peace question probably will not be considered as it is not expect ed that the Germans will be admitted to the peace conference before the adjournment of the assembly. The matter of lodging the 5000 persons who are expected to attend the con- vention is serious one, because Weimar is small city with limited accommodations. The municipal au- thorities there are considering billit- ing the delegates and journalists with private families if necessary, and in adjacent cities. Telegraph, telephone and postal communications will be enlarged and train service also will be increased.
 The constituent assemblies for the various German states probably will not convene until after the National Assembly has completed it's work.

Amerongen, Holland, Wednesday, Jan 22.-Sawing wood continues to be the chief occupation of the former German emperor, who spends sever- al hours each morning and afternoon with the castle guards working hard while several men servants respect fully hand him logs and then pile the short sticks in heaps for use later in the furnaces of the castle.
 The shortage of coal in Holland compels the burning of wood, plenti ful supplies of which are obtainable from the surrounding estate. Will liam Hohenzollern works so well that he is able to furnish the entire con- sumption of the castle fires. The former emperor scarcely ever speaks to his attendants while he is at work. For several weeks nothing has been heard from the former German crown prince, who remains virtually alone in his home in the island of Wierengen.

LETTER FROM FRANCE.
 Circle No. 5 of the Methodist church, which supports a French or phan is in receipt of a very interest ing letter written by the mother of the little girl. The letter is written to Mrs. Arthur Umsted, chairman of the circle. The letter follows:
 Rouen, France, Dec. 27, 1918. Very Dear Madame:
 I send you our sincere wishes for the new year. May God grant our prayer. I thank you with all my heart for your goodness. l have re- ceived your check for forty-five francs from the American Society in Paris. It aids us very much and was sent without my solicitation. suffer from the high prices which are still increasing. I bought some shoes for my little Renee today, pay- ing P francs (S4.20), having bought them for IS francs six months ago. Always in the evening one eats soup that is all we have-and when one has to prepare it she can eat nothing herself. One suffers so many things that I cannot make things clear. 1 have been i'll with la grippe, so has my little Renee. We are over it, but it leaves a weakness. Renee takes every day her phosphates of Claure.
 t helps very much. Here are the Christmas and the new year. What a sad time for the poor child. She put her shoes by the bed and the dear Jesus filled them well in spite of everything, and many tears have been shed. I know her poor father would have been so happy to do 1t and she speaks of him every day. l have been so grieved for my son-a man so good and industrious. The mother of little Renee cannot go every day to the private asylum. We go to see him every two weeks and take him what we can. It is so sad to see so young a person thus. What cursed war, which has brought so much evil of every kind, though it is over still the war will never be fin ished for us. There are so many things to do which one cannot speak of If I could talk to you in person, if had the good fortune to see you, we should be so happy
 i There are many American soldiers at Rouin and one loves them, since it is they who have saved us and put an end to the war, also your presi- dent of America. We put your little 1 flag in our windows on the day of his arrival in France. We hope that i the peace may give us more rest and make everything less terrible. l I close madame, excuse me for so long letter. pray you to receive , our regards.
 Yours truly, M. Crouchemour Rue Victor Hugo 21.

 Moriyama, the Japanese gambler, like every Buddhist believed that vengeance is a debt as obligatory as any other debt. 1t was the code of his Nipponese forefathers-their re- ligion-and he proceeded with charac- : terstic oriental cunning and patience to carry out his purpose.

Moriyama paid "his d Nbt." but not in the way he had planned, for tho man whom he had determined was to pay the price for attempting his life, was loved by the girl to whom Goro owed debt of gratitude. So Gofo l paid the greater debt, and gave her l love- back to Gloria Manning, whose , tender care had saved his life.
