NEGROES JOIN TO
SLAY ALL WHITES

detective doing work In this and all
foreign countries
HE started his first union in April.
He organized the Ratio lodge in May.
He chose Ratio because his mother
happened to be living there.
HE told the darkies he was an agent
of the government, and because the
senators and representatives at Wash
ington were white men and in sympa-
thy with the white men of the South,
it was impossible for the negroes to
get the rights that had been promised
them for service in the army, and so
the government had called into exist
ence this organization, which would be
supported by the government in de-
tense Of the negroes against the white
people.
"He told them that it was necessary
for all members to arm themselves for
the day when they should be called
upon to attack their white oppressors.
"The slogan of the organization is
we battle for our rights The pass
Wsrd was we have just begun
"He told them that those members
who were unable to buy ammunition
would be supplied from the govern
ment %storehouse at Winchester.
How the Money Rolled In!
"Negro men were charged $1.50 en-
trance fee and negro women 80 cents.
At the second or third meeting he
would bring DR.. V. 3. Powell as ex-
aiming physician for the government
In its work Of registering the negroes.
"a certificate was filed out and
signed by the doctor and given to each
negro upon payment of so cents. This
certificate was supposed to be the reg.
~istration document.
"Those negroes who had from SIS to
$25 were enrolled In an advanced sec
ton Of the union and upon payment
of whatever sum he Chilly could pro-
cure in excess of SIS a certificate was
given emitting the holder to attend
the congresses Of the union at Win
chester and speak on the floor of the
meeting regarding any questions
brought up and to assist in keeping the
Constitution of the United States from
being questioned.
another form of extortion was tt
sell shares of $40 each to the negroes
in a building to be erected at Winches
ter. Hill would find out what negroes
possessed Thrift Stamps and Liberty
bonds and would issue a certificate
stating that so many shares had beef
purchased at $40 a share, and all ne
groes buying five or more shares wer'
told their names would be engraved
in the building.
"In other words, he had so planned
his campaign that any negro possess
ing from 80 cents to $50 was given al
opportunity to invest in something
connected with the union"

Helena, Ark.-How the Ignorance

Mr.. Aliens statement follows:
"The present trouble with the ne

%surrection of the negroes against the
whites, directed by an organization
known as the Progressive Farmers and
Household Union Of America, estab
lished for the sole purpose of banding
negroes together for the killing O.
white people.

Dutch Inventor Had Plan to Put
Allied Artillery Out Of
Commission.

Perfected Machine, but War
Office Spoiled Scheme.

Amsterdam-M. Fokker, the Dutch
airplane expert who worked for the
Germans during the war, stated, in
an interview, that he had made mil
lions of marks out of the Germans, but
would give half of them to prove to
the world thar he was never anti-ally.
II was making airplanes before the
war broke out" he said, "and when the
Germans asked me to make %airplanes
for them I could only agree to do so.
1t was purely a financial matter.
"We are having IN airplane exhi-
bition here in Amsterdam this month
and I find that all the English flying
men who come here are good sports
men,. They don't nurse any grudge
against me for making airplanes for
the Germans, but the Frenchmen-
they never will forgive me, / fear.
My machine brought down too many
Frenchmen, and they don't like my
name"
Germans Had $500.
M. Fokker said he built $3.50 air
planes at his factories in Germany
for the Germans to use In the spring
drive Of 1918, but the allies had five
TO one. So the German army had to
quit.
"If the war had gone on for sew
eral more years how far would the
airplane have developed?" M. Fox
ker was asked.
His answer revealed what he de-
clared had been q great military Sc
cret. "We would have put the artil-
lery out Of commission" he said. "We
would have made the big guns as old
fashioned as spears. 1t was all the
fault of the army red tape in Berlin
that it vas not begun sooner.
"It was like this: In 1916 the army
authorities asked me if I could make
a very cheap airplane with a very
cheap engine, capable Of flying abou
four hours, which could be steeret
through the air by wireless waves.
"They intended to load each inc O.
these airplanes with an immense boml

NJ. Fokker displayed a photograph
Of an airplane without an engine.
"This is my very latest idea," he said
proudly. ut is a secret as yet. Sport
ing contests with such machines would
be very much like coasting contests
on the winter runs In the Alps. An
air coaster could be towed by another
airplane to a height Of 5000 feet or
more, and then the airmen could cut
loose and plane down. I think the day
will come when air coasting without
engines will be a great sport"

Rio de Janeiro.-The foreign trade
Of Brazil during the first half Of 1919
is regarded as very encouraging. In
creased expectation Of some Of Bra
zil's staple commodities, such as cof-
fee, rubber, cacao, chilled beef, hides,
oil bearing fruits, etc, as well as the
high prices which these articles have
commanded, leaves a very respectable
trade balance. That Brazil has rap
idly forged ahead commercially during
the years Of the war is generally con-
coded. The %country's agricultural pos
sibilities are as vet practically unex-
plotted, and the war acted as a stimu-
lus toward ascertaining the wide
range Of her productivity.

tioh as incompetent, and as a result
the last decade has witnessed change
In the Eastern city's policemen who,
I instead of being impediments to them
selves and the force. are athletes. able
TO run when they have TO catch GRIM
inal.
IN the inspection of the New York
police system, the aldermen of the Chi
cago city council police committee,
who have been cherishing a dream of
establishing police college in Chica-
go, learned several vital particulars in
winch the training of policemen for the
Chicago department can be improved.
The details of the operation of the
school were CLEANED from Inspector
James O'Brien. who, despite his youth
ful appearance, has been a member of
the department for 81 years. In dem
onstrating the agility his own system
OF physical training has given him, the
inspector stood stiff-kneed and put his
cienched fists against the floor.
No Value Unless Physically Fit
No policeman is of value to the de-
partment unless he is physically fit"
said the inspector. 1.-THE system of
training in our school is the same as
that employed in West Point, includ-
ing boxing. wrestling. jiu jitsu, wall
climbing, the proper method of walk
ing, the manual of arms and target
practice.
No candidate can take the course
until he has first passed mental and
physical examination. He is then
placed on probation for six months,
three months Of which is spent in
school. Aside from bodily training the
men are given intensive courses in first
aid to the injured and instruction in
the laws, ordinances and regulations
OF both city and state. Experts in the
department are assigned to give lee
lures on their subjects. including de-
lection of crime, the operations of
criminals, anarchists and bolsheviki.
Given Incentive.
THE length of time In the school is
none too long TO learn all that police
man should know when he undertakes
the task of becoming the public's pro-
tector. Prior to graduation the records
each man has made in all studies are
carefully gone over, and the highest
man is awarded regulation revolver
This is an incentive for them to do
their best in school.
After the preliminary schooling the |
ordinances of the city provide that the |
commanding officers of each precinct |
continue the instruction of officers, and |
every day few minutes is devoted to
calisthenics under the leadership of a
sergeant
1.-THE transformation from fat Off
GERS to athletes in the New York de-
partment has been going on for ten
years. Every possible encouragement
is given the policeman to keep in first
class condition.

La CROSSE EDITOR
L00PED THE LOOP
ROY G. IRVINE TELLS HOW IT
FEELS TO DO STUNTS IN
AN AIRPLANE

A timely article, which will be ap-
preclated by those in Moscow and
vicinity who recently made flights in
the airplane and did not do any fancy
flying or stunts, appeared in the last
issue CT the La Crosse Clipper,
edited, by Roy C. Irvine, who made
flight with Lieutenant Kelso, of
Kennewick, and told of his sensa-
tons while making the flights. His
well written and highly interesting
description of the flight follows:
"Figuratively, / have been up in
the air times a-plenty; literally, just
once. Flights of fancy / have had
many; flights of my physical being,
as stated before, can be counted on
one finger. But all the time | fig
uratively went into the air" are as
nothing to the one momentous occa-
sion when as a passenger in Lieu
