A PLEA FOR JUSTICE
BY BISHOP CONNOR OF
AFRICAN N. {. CHURCH

ENID, OKLA, jan 27.-Bishop j.
M. Conner, D. D., who is holding con-
ference in Oklahoma, has condemned
lynching, crime criminality of every
kind Every lynching which occurs
in America today says to the civilized
world that we are not capable of exc
cutting law.
''The white people of this country
make the laws, construe the laws,
keep the jails and execute the laws,
and there is no way on earth for a
guilty criminal to escape, and why
they will not allow men to be tried is
a mystery to me-" declared the bishop
"and every American should hang his
head in shame when a lynching oc
ours in this country. We hope that
when the President of the United
States is sitting around the peace
table in France that there will not be
an outbreak at home. Let all Ameri
ca can hold up it's arms"
Bishop Conner is accompanied by
Revs John A. Clayborne, representa-
tive of the A. NJ E. Book Concern; V
NJ. Townsend, private secretary to the
bishop; Charles Ctewart, Chicago
press agent, and Dr. S. L. Green. DR.
Townsend is being pushed by the dis
trict for the position of secretary OF
the Church Extension Society of the
A. NJ E. Church. He is one of the
strongest ministers in the state. He
has made some good, practical ad
dresses during the session of the Ok
lahoma conference here. He was loud
in his praises for the young men who
made good in France, and wanted that
they return home and make good
There is greater need for strong
men in the pulpits today than ever be
fore" said DR. Townsend, "and we
must furnish them. The men who
have been to Europe will return with
new vision. You must be able tc
reach them Where they go we are
going to follow them with the Gospel
and in this we will use strong intel
ligent men,"
The conference suspended business
during the funeral services of the last

MAY FORCE
SECOND WORLD WAR IS
BELIEF OF GEN. FOCH
Gen. Foch Declares French Must Hold
Rhine as Barrier to German Ageres-
sion and Safeguard the Peace of the
World.

TREVES. Prussia, Jan. 21.-(By
courier to Nancy,) Warning that
Germany may attempt to force Sec
ond world war within a few years,
Marshal Foch told American newspa-
per correspondents that France must
hold the entire west bank of the Rhine
to protect herself from further ag-
gressions. He called upon the allies
to establish new Watch on the
Rhine"
Foch began the interview which was
granted at the conclusion of the armis-
tice conference, with statement of
his warm appreciation of the Ameri-
can armies, declaring that Nobody
will ever forget what America did"
"We must have peace absolute"
said Foch. Our success must guard
US against future aggression. France
has the right to take effective meas
ures of protection, after her formida-
BILE efforts to save civilization Her
natural frontier, which will protect
civilization, is the Rhine 1t is on the
Rhine we must halt the Germans. 1t
is by using the Rhine that we must
make it impossible for Germany to
repeat the coup of 1914. The Rhine
is common barrier for all the allies,
guarantee of the peace of all ma
tions
France is ready to safeguard the
interests of mankind Those interests
are at stake on the Rhine. Is is there
we must prepare to obviate painful
surprises of the future. Let US watch
together so that we will not lose the
fruits of the common victory. Let us
remain united as we were in battle"
Foch asked who could say whether
Germany, where democratic ideals are
so recent, will not within a few years
attempt a second world war.
The marshal related several inter.
esting incidents in connection with
the Argonne drive. He said that Gen,
eral Pershing naturally wanted his
own armies in his own sector. Foch
told him the Argonne was a difficult
country, but that your men have the
devils own punch; they'll get away
with it; go to it,"
"And now we are on the Rhine
Foch concluded with a grin.
In answer to a question, Foch said
the armistice came too soon inasmuch
as great attack was prepared to be
launched four days after the date on
which hostilities ceased. But the Ger
mans granted everything required in
the armistice and it was inadvisable
to continue because of the useless
waste of lives.

INNOCENT PEOPLE, SAYS
TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE

Austin, Tex, Jan. 29.-Charges
against the Texas Rangers were made
on the floor of the house of represen-
tatives today by Representative J. T.
Canales, while defending his measure
to reorganize the state ranger service.
Opposition of the measure compelled
him to bring to light alleged outrages
committed in Cameron county, Repre-
sentative Canales asserted.
One man arrested by rangers six
smonths ago has not been seen since,
charged the speaker, who also asserted
that another taken from Jail by them
later was found dead with three shots
in his body. The rangers explained
they freed the man and he committed
suicide. Mr.. Canales said. Men were
taken from their homes and shot while
dead bodies lay unburied for days, he
charged.
Representative George Terrell said
he had been informed "by the best
citizens of border counties that more
innocent people have been murdered
by rangers than by outlaws in that
country"

ANOTHER MEMBER OF
PRESIDENTS CABINET
EXPECTED TO RETIRE

WASHINGTON, Jan 27-There is a
real prospect that Secretary OF War
Baker will retire from President Will
sons cabinet.
If he does, he will return TO Cleve-
land, Ohio, and re-establish his law
practice. His reason for resigning
would have at the root the same cause
at that inducing Secretary McAdoo
and Attorney General Gregory to quit,
namely, financial responsibilities, ac-
cording to those in touch with him.
Some Of his friends suggest that he
might be persuaded to remain in the
cabinet if he were given the post of
attorney general. But his real desire
is to get back to his accustomed task
Baker has been under heavy finan-
cial expense while holding his cabinet
place. Incidentally. under the spur of
the Liberty loan drives it is known
that he not only did his Bit" but bor-
rowed money for taking on an extra
portion of the loans.
Baker may deny that he has given
thought to resigning. And. if he act
ually decides to take the step it may
be considerably delayed. But that he
has given it consideration is definitely
known.
Incidentally, Baker is mentioned oc-
casionally as presidential possibility.

WIFE REFUSED TO LIVE
WITH HUSBAND AND IS
BRUTALLY MURDERED

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. 20
Infuriated by the repeated refusal of
his wife to return to their home, Jesse
Grimes, Colored, yesterday afternoon
about $50 turned pistol on her and
with perfect aim sent bullet through
her heart, death resulting instantly.
The frenzied husband then emptied
his weapon at his wife's family in
flicting probably fatal wound in the
abdomen of his wife's stepfatherS, an
old man named Jerdon Gibson, and
shot his wife's sister, Eva Henderson,
through the arm. Immediately after
the shooting, which happened at the
home of Gibson at IL Leavitt street,
South Chattanooga, Grimes dashed off
into the semi-darkness and at a late
hour was still at large.
An immense crowd was attracted
by the noise of the shooting. Police
headquarters was notified, and De-
tective Paradise and Patrolmen Gil
lespie and Hyatt were rushed to the
scene. The body of the dead woman,
Alberta Grimes, was removed to
Wann's. Gibson was carried in Wann's
ambulance to Erlanger hospital, and
Eva Henderson was brought to the
police station, where her wound was
dressed by DR.. Atkins.
A rapid search was begun for
Grimes within few minutes after
the shooting. The mother of Alberta
Grimes and other members of the
family, it is said, were the object of
threats made by Grimes as he left,
and further casualties were feared un-
less the husbands frenzy cooled after
he was out of sight fthe blood he
had shed. Grimes is about 25 years
of age. very black, and, in his work
ing clothes at the time of the shoot
ing, had on blue overalls and wore
tan shoes. He is an employe of the
Acme Manufacturing company and
lived at 1410 Central avenue.
According to the story of the trag-
edy told to reporter by Evan Hen
derson, while her wound was being
treated at the police station, the shoot
ing was entirely without provocation.
She states that her sister left Grimes
short time ago and he had been try
ing since to persuade her to return.
Grimes came to the Gibson home yes
terday morning and was given break
fast. He showed no evidence of spleen
at that time. Late yesterday after
noon he returned and made a scene,
says the woman, at the back gate of
the house. He renewed his importu-
mites to his wife to come back to him
and when the sister expostulated with
him and told him to leave his wife
alone, he seemed to lose control of
himself completely.
The pistol was out in twinkling,
Evan Henderson, she says, made a
! frantic effort to knock it out of his
hand, but he half knocked her down,
and, wrenching the weapon from her
hand shot his wife, who was standing
in the yard a few feet from him. Then
he leveled the weapon at stepfather
and sister in succession and after it
was emptied, sped away, leaving his
victims prone on the ground.
The Gibson family seems well-con.
Quoted and orderly and sympathy OF
the people in the neighborhood seems
to have been for the most part with
the wife in the trouble with her hus-
band, which led to- their separation

only two successful and dominant an- imal types of the present age and, so far as they are social. not only have had to encounter the same obstacles, but have learned to overcome many of them in the same manner.
 The social insects. however have been more successful than man in or ganizing stable communities, because they have frankly trusted and follow ed their instincts and have therefore carried their social organi.-tion to it's logical. or perhaps we had bette say instructive, conclusion, whereas man s intellectual processes and the ideals and dissentions to which they give birth forever prevent a definite solu- ton Of economic problems and keep him in state of active and ceaseless evolution.
 Ants are to be found everywhere, from the arctic regions to the tropics, from the thmberline on the Ioftiest mountains to the shifting sands of the dunes and seashores, and from the dampest forests to the driest deserts. viduals all other terrestial animals but their colonies even in very cir curnscribed localities often defy enumeration.
 Their colonies are, moreover. re- marka bly, stable. sometimes outlasting a generation of men, Such stability is, of course. due to the longevity of the individual ants, since worker ants are know to live from { to years and queens from F 70 15 years.
 The ant colony or society may be regarded as an organism which, like the individual insects Of which it con sists grows and develops to a fixed adult size, and the size to which it grows is characteristic of the species. jpst as is the size of any individual. Some ants always form diminutive colonies of only q few dozen individ- uals. whereas the colonies of other species. when mature. may comprise thousands or hundreds Of thousands. The growth of these colonies obvious ly depends on the quantity and quail ty of the available food supply and on it's distribution for immediate con sumption, it's storage for the future use of the colony.
 "The ethnic history of ants parallels that of man to the extent that these insects were originally flesh ca ting hunters, then shepherds of food pro- ducinS herds, and finally agricultur- iSts and that they have been compell- cd to pass through these stages or forfeit the advantages of living in populous and stationery communities.
 Ants feed on a great variety Of substances but in all cases only the liquid portions of the food are taken into the alimentary tract. If the food is solid. minute particles of it are asped off by means Of the tongue and pressed into a small pocket in the floor of the mouth. The uiceS ex- pressed from the mass are then suck ed back through the gulet into q di- lated portion of the alimentary tract,
