Just a Word From
The Society Editor
THE PECULIAR MISSION OF
THE NEGRO JOURNAL
.(california Eagle)

The Negro journal shoulders graver
responsibility than any other So
called Race or class journal in the
country; first of all, it is impossible
for this peculiarly classed journal to
cope in volume with other journals;
for the average Negro journal is
launched on faith, while others are
launched on finance. Hence, the pop
ular question asked by it's readers
is, "Why can't we have a newspaper
like other folk"-as a rule the per-
sons who ask this question would not
spend two dollars per year on Race
paper, but borrow their neighbors
long enough to pick flaws. They COM
plain about the type not setting
straight up or some persons name
being miss-spelled or the diction or
rhetoric not according to the best
authority. AS a rule they close their
critical remarks in the language of
disgruntled deacon by stating that
those folks just won't do-now, that's
ALL
However, the Negro journal, hum
BILE as it is today, is the only out
standing champion of the Race. Its
mission is far-reaching. Not only
does it make sentiment for better con-
ditions among it's own people, but
reaches out and now and then turns
white enemy into a black mans
friends.
The peculiar problems that con-
front the Negro people in this country
today affecting their peace, prosperity
and happiness, as a rule, go unno-
ticed by the majority of the big dai-
lies.
Ye knockers of any race enterprise,
bury your hatchets and get in the big
boosters band wagon, in order that
when the big bear, Prejudice, shall
have been killed in this country-you
can truly say, See what we did,"

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

The proceedings of the Peace Con- ference are slow, but that is inevita bIe where's 0 many parties have a voice and the interests are so important and varied. It is entirely natural that there should be differences Of opinion about the policy to be pur- sued. The representatives of France feel the pressing necessity not only for ample reparation for the devastat- ed districts and the injury done to their industries, but some relief from the burden of debt and some protec- ton against Germany in the future. If German Austria is added to Ger many they see their traditional enemy as strong as ever, and perhaps domi- nant in Russia. formerly their ally. They cannot but ask whether both Great Britain and the United States will always be at the side of France in time of need. What circum- stances would bring the armies of the United States across the ocean again 2 Will not Germany carefully avoid provoking that visitation the next time? In short France naturally feels that when the Peace Conference is over she will be left almost alone on the continent facing a revengefuI and powerful enemy.
 And yet what is to be done with the German people. even giving these approximations full weight? They are there, about 7O,OO0,O 900 of them, in the heart of Europe and they can be neither exterminated or removed. They cannot be even divided, unless the division is of their own making for if they are united in spirit the artificial Ines which outsiders may draw between them will be of small consequence.

WORK PROGRESSING OVERSEAS

Among tke overseas forces. agents Education, have established prelim- mary contacts with 107,O00 injured or disabled men, and working con- tacts with 5000 men by a personal interview before their return to this country, furnishing information about what the government is prepared to do for training and placing disabled soldiers, sailors and marines.
 The work is now being cO-ordinat- ed with the activity of the reconstruc- ton hospitals of the army, and where it is evident from a preliminary sur vey that a man is a permanently dis abled case, the preliminaries are ar ranged and it is decided what will be best for him to study or train for. The voluntary assent of the individual is always an essential feature, and no man is ever forced to take the train ing, or is persuaded to take that which he is not heartily in favor of and he wants to do.
 By this means, much time is saved and during the period of the disabled man in the reconstruc hospital he is when possible. given such prelim- mary work in the line he has chosen so that upon his discharge, when he comes under the jurisdiction of the Federal Board for further training, he has utilized his hospital period to good advantage and has made con- siderabl progress. Thus the pro- cess is made continuous.
