ENGLISH JURY ASKS
CLEMENCY FOR NEGRO

London, England. Special -
"Manslaughter, but the majority
of us think the blow was given
under prOvocation", was the ver-
diet rendered in the trial of Pri-
vate John Monroe for the murder
of Allen Macdonald, a white pri-
vate in the Canadian forestry
corps.
The trial brought out the fact
that black private named John
Albert had been called "Nigger"
by Macdonald, and when the for
mer resented the epithet, was
knocked down. AT this point Pri-
vate Monroe walked up and asked
Mae Donald why he had hit Al
bert, and when DacDonald re-
piled with an abusive term, Mon
roe knocked him down. When
Macdonald was,picked up he was
dead.

and carrying out the Selective
Service Regulations, the Provost
Marshal Generals Office has
kept a watchful eye upon certain
local exemption boards which
seemed disinclined to threat Ne
gro draftees ON the same basis
as other Americans subject TO the
draft law. 1t is an actual fact
that in a number of instances;
where fragrant violations have
occurred in the application of the
draft law to Negro men in
certain sections of the country,
local exemption boards have been
removed bodily and new boards
have been appointed to supplant
them. In several instances these
boards so appointed have been
ordered by the Provost Marshal
General to reclassify colored men
who had been unlawfully cons
cripeted into the Army men have
had their, complaints remedied

Gin a word, / believe that the
Negroes participation in the war,
his eagerness to serve, and his
great courage and demonstrated

EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS
A MONTH SAVED TO GAS
CONSUMERS.

As a result of the exposure OF
the Jumbo Gas Burner" in this
paper, and other publications,
the Gas Company reports turn
in of over four thousand of these
robber burners in the first four
weeks. They have been replaced
with Junior Mantle lights, which
give about twice as much illumi-
nation and consume nearly fit
cen feet an hour LESS gas.
The average lighting hours this
time of the year are $50 a month,
so a saving of fifteen cubic feet
per hour on each of these four
thousand burners would amount
to nearly NINE MILLION Gu
BIC FEET of gas a month - in
dollars and cents about $4,000, 90
. an average saving to each
customer of $500 a month.
Any of our readers who are
still using these Jumbo burners
will save money on their gas bill
by getting rid of them at once.
