TRANCE AS
TO IRELAND
Declares His Position Is Ex-
pressed In Article IL of Cow
enant Received In San
Francisco With Uprorious
Welcome.

On Board President Wilson's spe-
cial, Sept, IL Setting forth public
ly for the first time his interpreta-
tion of the League of Nations coven-
ant as it effects Ireland, President
Wilson said today, that the league
constitutes a forum before which
could be brought all claims for self
determination which are likely to af-
feet the peace Of the world.
"The covenant would not bind the
United States to assist in putting
down q rebellion in any foreign coun-
try" he asserted, "nor would it linn
it the powers of this country to rec
ognize the independence of any people
who seek to secure freedom" He
said Ireland's case was not heard at
Versailles because it did not come with
in the jurisdiction of the peace confer
ence. ,3
s~aeY The aixlsiidles,ts stateme.sssswas in re-
ply ,toSa series Of questions sent to
him by the San Francisco labor coun-
Gil. It is understood that, within a
few days he will reply similarly to
other questions put by other labor bod
les with regard to Shantung, and the
representation of the British domin-
ions in the league assembly.
Replying directly to the questions
as to his attitude on self determin-
alton for Ireland, Mr.. Wilson said his
position was expressed in Article II
of the covenant, under which it was
declared that any member nation can
call the attention of the league to any
circumstances whatever affecting in
ternational relations which threaten to
disturb International peace or the good
understanding between nations upon
which peace depends.

Quinade Is not an ordinary pomade;
1T is highly mediceted and Is real
scalp food. Quinade stimulates and
nourishes the roots Of the hair, caus-
ing a natural growth of long, straight
hair. 1t will make coarse. stubborn

and dandruff, which is the real cause
of most hair and scalp troubles.
To get best results from the use
of Quinade, one should shampoo the
scalp every two weeks with Seeby' 8
Quinasoap, a soap made entirely OF
pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap fathers
very freely and is a thorough clean;
fluffy and imparts a refreshing feel
ing to the scalp unequaled by any
other shampoo.

NEGRO HIGH SCHOOLS OF Dali
LAS. TEX TAKES HIGH RANKS

co. Mr.. Ford has now in operation
a telephone system at Rockwell, Tex
as. with connection with the South
western Telegraph and Telephone Co.
The race needs a few more pioneer
and enterprising men as Mr.. Ford
to enter fields Of endeavor for the
Colored people, thus opening up
business places to be filled by our
young Colored people. There are
many men Of the race emong us who
could similarly invest their money
as Mr.. Ford Is doing instead Of lett
ing II remain idle In (whiteJ banks
doing them but very little good and
the race no good at all. and there
are others who could combine their
money holdings and do as Mr.. Ford
Is doing. Men Of the race, why not?
Just now the southern states are
taking an interest In the education
Of the Negro as never before This
is q wise course and will pay ten
folds for. every dollar spent. It will
bring In a large measure content
ment for those who are moving north
for educational advantages for their
children, and they will be lead to
let down their buckets where they
are that which they have compelled
10 seek elsewhere In other states Of
the east and west.
Our own Texas Is aroused for the
better education OF the Negro. ~hen
we consider what Is being done at
the Prairie View State and Industrial
College for the higher education Of
the Negro youth Of Texas. All honor
to the board OF directors and all who
have had hand in this laudlble en-
deavor to raise the standard OF Ne
gro education In this great state
Good schools will count for far more
than good jails.
The state Of Louisiana Is taking a
new and abiding interest in the edu-
cation Of the Colored people in that
state and is doing much to raise
I the standard and the efficiency Of
the Colored teachers, and this 10
right for we can not have good
schools without efficient teachers OF
every class.
We are justly proud OF the stand
that his excellency Gov. Hobby to
taking In the cause OF education In
this commonwealth both for the com
mon schools and the University Of
Texas and all the branch schools CO..
ordinating with her great head. We
are feeling new pulsation and a
great throbbing in the new life in
the educational system OF Texas.
We want to congratulate the noble
position that Miss Blanton, our
State Superintendent Is taking for
the advancement Of education Of all
the people. 1t was largely through
her influence that we have the Text
Book Law Texas will not long be
a lone star that shines out in size,
but she will soon be the lone sun
around which other bodies must
EVENLY revolve her light, for iner-
walton and inspiration in every phase
OF activity and enterprise.

'R0LSHEVIKI COMMIT
GRIMES AT REVAL
Fifty Mutiliated Bodies
Buried in One Grave;
Women Tortured.

tie. A. Special o The West virginian.
REEAL, Esthonia, April 7.-Stories
of 30 bodies buried In one grave, five
~ them women; skulls crushed by the
Boisheyild, the victims bayonet-
pierced and mutlated, the remains
stamped down by the heavy boots OIL
the Red Guard, are being told TO Es-
shontan authorities.
Tho EshonAans have cleared a por-
ton OF their territory OF the Red ter
roE They have begun to gather Off
cial reports Of the ruthlessness Of the
invaders. And the stories they are
told rival any before related in four
years Of warfare.
The grave of so bodies was the larg
est Of a number around Wesenberg
which were opened in the search for
evidence. The story of the murders
was told by A. Munstrum, who escap.
ed from his BolsheviR guards.
Fitty-six of US were led to the place
% execution" he testifies. THE grave
was already dug, long trench. Halt
Of the victims, including six women.
we're lined up at the side OF the trench.
The women were TO be shot first. One
tried 10 escape. Red Guards shot her
and she sank to the ground wounded.
They dragged her by the feet to the
crave, shot her again and showed her
tns Then they stamped on her body
until she was silent. The others were
shot and tumbled into the graves.
Then with the butts of their rifles and
their bayonets, the Bolsheyiki finish
ed them of and they trampled their
bodies down When they lined up the
next lot | managed to slip away"
Investigators identified Al of the
80 bodies taken from this grave. One
was the Baroness Wrangel of Wesen-
berg. Another was sister of mer-
cy. The skulls of 80 had been shatter-
ed. The clothing had been taken,
even to the boots.
In Dorpat similar stories were told.
Bodies OF 16 victims, dropped through
holes in the ice, were recovered.
Arms and legs had been broken,
skulls fractured, eyes put out.
Twenty were killed in Dorpat with
Ratchet blows and bombs in the eel
lar OF bank. Among them was Arch
bishop Platon, a university professor
and gray-haired clergyman, says the
Esthonian report. The cellar resem-
bled shambles.
A report from Ellister says before
three peasants were killed their eyes
were put out, their noses smashed,
their bones broken and their skulls
flayed.
Everywhere are reports of homes
plundered, books burned, valuable art
works destroyed.
