Tell of Outrages

Saloniki.-High upon the hills of the
bustling Macedonian city is pic

Greek refugees, driven from Asia
Minor by the massacre of 1914, make
their homes. Hundreds of other
Greeks who were interned by the Bull
garians In Dobrudja during the war
have joined them recently. The
houses in this refugee camp were con-
structed by the Greek government. A
space equivalent to n large New York
furnished room is allotted to a fam
lily of from five to eight.
Tho settlement has been given the
pretentious name of "The Quarter Of
the Triumvirate' In honor of Greece's
three great modern patriOts-Premier
Venizelos, Admiral KountouriOtis and
General Danglais, who, repudiat'ng
King Constantine, espoused the cause
of the allies when Germany sought to
win over the Greek army.

present war, were expelled from Mace

slowly up the steep mountain road.
The refugees had just come from
Dobrudja, to the south of Roumania
where they were practically exiled by
the Bugars. They had been nearly
two months on the way, and virtually

ASSOCIATION.
SCOTS OFFICIAL HISTORY OF
THE AMERICAN NEGRO IN
THE WORLD WAR.

The Sun is in receipt of a cop OF
can Negro in the World War, which
it takes great pleasure in commencing
10 its myriad readers.
There were but a few persons who
kept closely in touch with the war
records, and no mar in America knew
more facts or was better prepared to
write such a book than Mr.. Emmett
J.. Scott, who for two years was con-
fidential advisor to the Secretary Of
War.
This book contains the stirring
deeds of the various Negro soldiers
the splendid work Of the Labor Bat
talions and the civilian work of the
entire race during the period of war,
and is illustrated with two hundred
pictures, including many taken on the
French front, and is crammed with in
teresting stories, important historical
information never before made public
and facts and figures that are impress
sive in the picture they give of the
extent of the Negroes participation in
the war.
The publisher of this splendid book
is the L. w. Walter Co., 633 Plymouth
Court, Chicago, ILL.,, and can be pur,
chased for $3.50 in cloth or 1915 in
full kraft.
The Sun, after a careful perusal of
the book, believes that every Negro
man and woman should also read this
volume, the most complete ever pub
Iished on this subject.

Prof. Payne's latest contribution to

feel that we are announcing a book
that is destined to shape the future
destinies Of the race more than any
other recent book written Of and
around the race problems.
Prof. Payne's untiring efforts for
many years in behalf of ace better
ment and his methods of helping the
Negro of the South to help himself in
obtaining and maintaining his political
and social liberty are well known to
most of those who are abreast with
and deeply interested in the race pro-
paganda,
This volume is not only a brief his
tory of the Negro race in its relation
70 the making Of American history,
but is a dependable text on political
and social economy as we'll. The au-
thor has been a painstaking student
of all faction and factional disturb
ances OF race troubles and ace pre-
iudices in all sections of the South
since emancipation. His analysis
have always been clean. clear cut and
with a desire to indicate how best to
obtain justice to all. A glance over

value of the text.
