HE atrociouS occurrence at

Washington. mt Chicago and

turn to be followed by others
in heaven only knows what other COM
munit;es, arouses much academic and
some practical speculation as to the
causes of such bitter racial animosity
and such disregard of law and JUS
tice 1t may be that there are various
causes. that there is II special cause
in each place for each outbreak. Yet
we cannot dismiss the belief that there
are some general causes, inherent III
our social system ana inseparable from
it as at present organized.
1t would be preposterous to pretend
that the element of racial discrimina-
tion did not enter into these cases.
OF course. no detestation can be too
provoke these outbreaks, and no legal
punishment could be too severe for
them. But it is undeniable that when
committed by Negroes they are re-
garded as far more grave than when
precisely the same crimes are COM
mitted by white men, and that there
is immeasurably less willingness to
let the law take its course in the for
mer than in the latter cases. 1t is
simply inconceivable that what hap
pened at Omaha the other day would
have Happened if the criminal or sus-
pect had been white man.
one of the c,uses of this racial dis
elimination was clearly foreseen more
than century and II third ago. by
practical minded statesmen. The New
York legislature then passed bill for
the ABOLITION of slavery, but also pro-
viding that no person of even part
Negro blood should ever be permitted
to vote The board of revision, which
then exercised the veto power, disap-
proved the measure, not because 1t
would emancipate, but because 1T
would disfranchise the Negroes and
would thus create discrimination be-
tween two classes of citizens. 1t would
be repugnant to principles of liberty
and equality, said the board, to charge
with the burdens of government those
who have no representative share in
imposing them.
Then, still more to the present point,
the veto message went on to say that
'"This class of disfranchised and dis
riod may under the direction of am

Away Guarded Army Secret

WASHINGTON. July ga story Of
the betrayal Of the German high com
mand through the efforts Of the Ameri-
can military secret service and Of the
organization among German officers Of
a vendetta aimed at the lives OF the
traitors wal brought to light with the
arrival at New York today OF two
German prisoners OF war consigned to
the director Of military intelligence,
Washington, d. c."
According to information here, the
mysterious prisoners who landed from
the steamship. Againemnon under heavy
guard formerly were German officers
Of high rank. occupying positions OF
great responsibility under Von Hinden-
burg. Before the inauguration OF the
American offensives in 1918 operatives
Of the American military intelligence
corps prevailed upon them, through In
ducements which have not been divulged
to deliver plans Of the German general
staff covering the proposed movements
on the western front, probable lines Of
retreat, points at which stands would
be made and other detailed informa-
ton Of inestimable value.
With these plans before him, Gen,
Pershing was able to lay out his cam
palgn with great freedom and II is be-
lieved that a result was 10 cut the
cost Of the American advance practical
ly in half.
The German officers later surren-
dered themselves to the American
forces. Certain OF their former as
sociates had become suspicious, how.
ever, and are believed to have banded
together to mete out stern justice. Vt
most precautions were taken even with
In the allied lines to protect the in.
formers, but as officials believed that
as long as they were kept In France
their lives would be in danger, orders
we're given for their transfer 10 this
country.
Preparations for the moving Of the
prisoners we're kept a close secret and
Il was only through the carelessness
OF some clerk that they were included
In the roster OF the Agamemnon when
she left France.
The plan was to send the prisoners
to some isolated army posts where
they might be given military protec-
ton for a time. Eventually. It Is sup.
posed, they would have been permitted
to escape" to some other country,
there 10 begin their lives anew. Off.
cials will not say whether this plan
can be safely followed now.

TIME
: % ESSkST ?

EIlVERY person MUST SPEND every day, every
hour and every m~inute-someT ime-some En-
ergy and some Money!
Are you spending these three all-important pos
sessions WISELY? Ask yourself that question!
Are you WASTING any more than a NECEs-
SARY amount of your TIME?
Remember, that while the Bible allots a man
''three- score and ten" or seventy, years, life insur-
ance companies fix Anticipation at much less. In
plain words, statistics tend to show that the aver
age person lives A VERY SHORT TIME INDEED;
therefore, of all other earthly possessions TIME is by
far the most VALUABLE, in some respects.
And ENERGY! Do you waste it any MORE
than circumstances and conditions demand? Energy
is the POWER that keeps us going. Wasted POWER
BRINGS NO REWARDS! Niagara Falls, from the
standpoint Of usefulness was a great waste Of Power
until h~arnessed, when it became a great source Of
production.
And the SAME RULE applies in our LIVES
daily. No one can afford to waste ENERGY!
Money is a medium of exchange ONLY. A
silver dollar is the same in SIZE AND IN LOOKS
as it was five years ago. And yet the purchasing
power of a dollar today is LESS BY HALF than it
was five years ago!
This fact is in a large part RESPONSIBLE for
much of the feeling Of unrest existing ALL OVER
H WORLD today. People FAIL TO REALIZE
that while EARNINGS, as measured in dollars, are
GREATER than ever, the RATIO OR PROPER
TON between EARNINGS and EXPENSES is LESS.
They are ENCOURAGED to spend MoRE FREELY
than ever by regarding INCREASED EARNINGS
as a sign Of prosperity, rather than regarding the
PURCHASING POWER of these EARNINGS cor.
rectly and PROPERLY.

The American people HAVE NOT as yet count
ed the COST OF THE RECENT WAR nor the UR-
GENT NEED of SAVING MONEY NOW as never
before!
Facing the situation squarely, no one can AT
FORD TO WASTE TIME, ENERGY OR MONEY!
Moreover, for the SAFETY of all of us our TIME
should be WELL SPENT, our ENERGIES CON-
SERVED and our MONEY SAVED. Food, raiment
and shelter are ESSENTIALS. Of the three, FOOD
is the MOST IMPORTANT. We can get along with.
out RAIMENT or SHELTER much LONGER than
we can do without FOOD.
Food being the most IMPORTANT deserves the
most CONSIDERATION. Consideration, in this in
stance, means THOUGHT GIVEN the factors TIME,
ENERGY and MONEY spent in obtaining FOOD.
If you waste TIME or ENERGY in obtaining
FOOD you have Tnconsciously WASTED MONEY.
There is NO NEED OF WASTING either or any
of the three, when there is a SURE WAY OF SAY.
ING OR CONSERVING!
That SURE WAY is to SYSTEMATICALLY
BUY for cash WHAT you need in the way Of FOOD,

NEEDED-at the Bowers Stores.

 The position they took was that Russia, while temporarily down and out, had rendered great services to the Allies and to the world during the war, and they had impressed upon the Allied leaders that Russian aid during the first year of the con- flict was so important that without this aid the war could not have been won.
