WILSON, IN ADDRESS, PLEADS
FOR UNCHANGED TREATY AND
COVENANT AS PEACE IS SIGN
ED.

Washington, July 3.-President VIII
son, in an address to the American
people on the occasion OF the sign
ing of the peace treaty, made q
plea for acceptance Of the treaty and
the covenant of the League Of Ma
tions without change or reservation.
His message, given out here by Sec
retary Tumulty, said:
My Fellow country men: The Treaty
of Peace has been signed. 1t as
ratified and acted upon in full and
sincere execution of its terms, it will
furnish the charter for a new order
of affairs in the world. 1t is a Sc
we're treaty in the duties and penal
ties it imposed upon Germany, but
it is severe only because great wrongs
done by Germany are tn be righted
and repaired; it imposes nothing
that Germany cannot do; and she
can regain her rightful standing in
the world by the prompt and honor
able fullfilment If its terms.
And it is much more than g treaty
of peace with Germany. It liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able to find the way to liberty
1t ends, once for all, an old and
intolerabls order under which small
groups Of selfish men could use the
peoples of great empires tc serve
their ambition for power and domin-
ion. 1t associates the free goven-
ments of the world in permanent
league in which they are pledged tf
use their united power to maintain
peace by maintaining right and ju-.
tice. 1t makes international law q

ECONOMY AND ORGANIZATION
THE NEGRO WAS ONE HUNDRED Per CENT IN WAR; MUST
Be ONE HUNDRED Per CENT WITH HIMSELF IF He
WOULD RISE.

as doers and that there would be no

and the plowman. both should be
skilled. Manhood is like electricity

ing man, but man working. There
must be the man first of all. A
fifty dollar suit does not make the,
man. John the Baptist had on a
suit that was not worth five cents,
but considered the man who wore
that suit, the man arrayed in that
suit. So it is the man in the clothes
that counts and not the clothes.
Speaking of the elevation and bene-
fit he urged that if the whole nation
is raised, the man at the bottom is
raised higher in proportion to THE
higher position.
The Negro must learn economy,
must learn a lesson from Christ who
fed the multitudes, and was careful
that the fragments should be saved.
He illustrated his thrift habits that
he wished to impress in relating the
example Of two men both earning
$1.25 a day and the one lived on 25
cents a day and saved the 81. while
on the other hand, the other man
spent the SLIPS and borrowed another.
Let us learn a lesson from the fish
which Christ ordered caught and
from its mouth was taken just enough
to pay the tax, no more and no less,
but IL / had the power to draw up
that fish, I would have ordered a
million Of dollars, but not so with
Christ, just enough and no more.
The Negro must unite among them
selves Just as other races and nations.
In organization there is power. Think
Of ten million being wrapped up in
stern necessity. and the only way out
is through organization. thrift and
industry, and if united, the Negro
may accomplish much. Long ago,
the Negro was made one American,
now he must be made one with him
self, he was one hundred percent in
war, he must be made one hundred
percent with himself.
The lecturer appealed to his hear
ers that this is harvest time and that
they must save while good price
is being paid for labor. This con-
dition will not continue long. Now
is the time to economize just in the
time of war. If the war taught moth
ing else, it taught us how to be
thrifty and let us learn from this
and live on less and save more for
after all it is not what you make
but what you save.

Mr.. Williams says he believes that
the one thing the Negroes lack to

believes that a flag will have that
effect.
The flag has a black field, denoting
the dark continent of Africa, and a
gold star in the upper right hand
corner represents the kingdom Of
Abysinia. In the upper left corner
is crimson star, representing the
