FOOD SORELY NEEDED
Paris Receives Report of Ameri-
can Military Mission.
Enforcement of Allied UItimatum
That German Armies Be With
drawn Is Requested.

Paris, June 23.--Colonel Warwick
Green, chief of the American military
mission to the Baltic states, who left
Riga June 13 and Libau June is on
his return to Paris, told the Baltic
commission the Allies should imme-
diately extend food relief to the Bal
tic states, send officers to insure the
enforcement of the Allied ultimatum,
that German armies there be with
drawn and prevent the Bolsheviki from
again oyerrunning the states after the
Germans have left.
Colonel Green reports that the reign
of terror which the Bolsheviki insti
tuted before withdrawal from Letvia
was far worse than that begun by the
Let's and Germans in retaliation. The
Bolsheviki, he states, killed LOO men
and women of all ages, many of whom
the American mission saw lying in
the streets when 1t visited Riga the
first time on May 23 Major Fletcher
who imprisoned alleged agitators and
executed 200, said 1t probably would
be necessary TO shoot 400 more.
Colonel Green says that many oi
these prisoners are undoubtedly mur
derers who would be executed by any
government.

General Erwin Refuses to Meet
Mexican Rebels.
Felipe Angeles Sends Letter Asking
for Conference on Recent
Crossing Of Border.

Eel Paso, June 23.-'T decline to
have any communication whatsoever
with you or your principal" Brig. Gen.
James B. Erwin replied to a COM
munication from Gen. Felipe Angeles,
commanding revolutionary forces in
Mexico, regarding the reason Ameri-
can troops crossed the border last
Sunday night.
A courier from General Angeles
camp near Samalayuca, 80 miles south
OF the border, who arrived here, de-
livered the communication to General
Erwin. 1t was signed by General An
geles and bore the seal of Villas reyo-
lutionary government.
The reply was transmitted to Gen.
eral Angeles by the same courier, who
left Immediately for the revolutionary
headquarters.
There is but one government in
Mexico recognized by the United
States of America, and it appears that
you or your principal are in no way
connected with or claim to be con-
nected with that government which il
recognized by the United States of
America" General Erwin's reply read.

ing industrial Strne at
Winnipeg.
OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTER
Metal Trades Branch Of Strikers la
conferring With Employers for
First Time Since Sympathe-
tic WaIkout Began.

Winnipeg, June 23.--Winnipeg's
strike is virtually at an end after five
weeks of industrial strife never equal
led in Canadian history.
The metal trades branch of the
strikers is negotiating with the metal
employers directly for the first time
since the walkout OF $4,000 men i'm a
sympathetic effort to make the en-
ployers recognize the right of the
trades council to intervene In disputes
between employers and employees.
Momentarily the strike will be de-
clared off, 1t is claimed, on the basis
practically advanced in the first place
by employers that shop disputes would
be settled wholly between their actual
employees and themselves.
Sequel of Release of Six.
This is the sequel of the spectacu-
lar release from the penitentiary of
the six English speaking prisoners
charged with seditious conspiracy:
Rev. William Ivens, editor of the West
ern Labor News; r. b. Russell. secre.
tary of the Metal Trades council;
Alderman John Mcqueen, Alderman
A. A. Heap, George Armstrong and E.
K. Bray-on $4,000 bail and the an
nouncement that the government will
proceed to try them by jury first and
not by a special board of inquiry for
deportation purpose.
The other five, all aliens, remain in
the penitentiary to be tried by the
board as originally announced.
The terms of the agreement by
which the men were leased is that
they are to take no further part in
the strike bat some of them were at
Trades hall tonight and were wildly
acclaimed by their companions.
Special Police Disbanded.
The city is quiet and the mounted
special police have been disbanded
Some members OF the One Thousand
league criticize the release of the ac-
cused strike leaders on such small bail
and the acceptance of their pledge.
One newspapers characterizes it as a
disgraceful bargain with rebellious
spirits while another paper approves
the idea Of immediate trial by jury as
British justice, while the Labor News
insists that the government was
forced to back down.
Citizens, on the whole, are rather in
clined to give the federal government
credit, however, for wise procedure
in an exceedingly difficult position and
the results calculated to bring about
industrial peace in the shortest pos.
sible time with the least possible bit
terness.

Paris, June 20 23.-President Ebert has
requested Herman Mueller, Majority
Socialist leader, to form a new Ger
man cabinet, according to advices re-
ceived by the American peace delega-
tion.
Matthias Erzberger probably will
head the German peace delegation. the
advices indicate.
The opposition attitude of the
on the question of the treaty probably
will exclude Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau and Count Won Bernstorff
from the government.
The German provincial press is
strongly urging the speedy signing of
the treaty.
Berlin advices to the American dele
cation, summarizing the situation in
Germany, show the sentiment through
out Germany to be in favor of accept
ing the peace terms. The advices COW
er Leipzig, Dresden, Chemnitz and
other representative regions.
Geographically analyzed, the advices
indicate that all the Southern German
states are favorable to the acceptance
of the treaty while the Prussian re-

Berlin, June 23.-It is stated on
good authority that President Ebert
has decided to stand or fall with Chan

that he must resign rather than sign

Between Herr Noske, the minister
of defense, and Doctor Mueller, under
secretary of the war food bureau, the
race for the premiership seems to be
strong one.
Indications Favorable.

of those in high Offices to sign or to
leave unsigned the peace treaty of the
Allied and associated governments.

worthy co-worker, Victoria E. Overall,
and
Whereas, The pleasant, cordial and
intimate relations which for thirty
four years she held in the Kansas

eminently fitting that we should place

Resolved, That this association of

Power which, though sometimes in
scrutable in it's dispensations, yet
"doeth all things WELL" feeling sure
that to them as to us, there is COM
fort in the knowledge that the de-
ceased was not only honorable and
upright in all respects but was also
devoted and conscientious Chris
tian.
Resolved That copy of these res

We are also very glad to know that
you have opened the Editorial door
OF your paper to the Public, and we
sincerely hope that the Public has
reference to and will include the
Black Citizen in the same manner as
it does the rest of the citizens. We
also hope that good news pertaining

the future with as much persistence
as the bad has been in the past.
All we ask is Justice, and Justice

peace and harmony together. We be-
lieye that a people who is good
enough to shed their blood in defense
Of a great commonwealth is, at the

the columns of its newspapers.
In conclusion, let us hope that the
words of President Wilson shall not
have been quoted in vain. Though
unprecedent-let us hope that the Ne

"THE REASON"
By Charles p. Wilson,
jefferson City, Mo.

jefferson City, Mo.
Is the outlook always dreary?
Won't the sun shine once for you?
Is your heart forever weary?
Are your pleasures always few?
Can't you feel joy in living,
When the earth is all abloom?
And has hope gone off agrieving
To the door of Faiths still tomb?
Do you find each one stranger?
Don't You sometimes crave a
friend?
Are you missing all the brightness,
As you journey to the end?
Don't you get sweet peace in laugh
ter?
Don't your soul delight in song?
Is the old earth turning backward ?
Has the universe gone wrong?
Don't you love TO watch the daisies,
AS they smile and smirk and bow?
Do not songbirds ever stir you
From the depths you're treading
now?
Does contentment beckon grimly
Only to the opened sod?
Then, if so, my friend, it's certain
You have quite forgotten God.
