Hdig ErpldinS His Remarks

Speaking in London on the accom-
plishments of the British Empire in
the war, Field Marshal Haig said
Nothing could be further from
my thoughts and desires than to at
tempt to minimize the efforts of our
Allies. have so often expressed
admiration for their deeds that I
trust I can say a word or two in
praise of my own people without
giving offense to others, for whose
many successful actions in the field
l have nothing but admiration.
IT admit that I am very jealous
of the reputation of our own
armies"
Field Marshal Haig in a speech
at Newcastle. July 8, was quoted as
saying:
1T is right to speak of our AL
lies, but 1t was the British Army
that won the war. 1t was Britain
that bore the brunt of the fighting
in the last two years.

RACE RIOTS

THE race riots at Washington
should have the thoughtful
consideration of the country
This form of lawlessness-of at
tempting to substitute the mob fol
the law - never did and never will
correct existing evils. Lynchins
parties are never justifiable, be the
victim ever so guilty. The lynchel
is only one step removed from the
anarchist.
The New York World publishes a
most thorough and thoughtful edi-
torial relative to the Washington
riots. in which it observes:
What we see now in Washing

CLASSIFIED Grace riots) than any
other disturbance that we have
had and there is a reason for it
worthy of serious consideration.
Negroes are taking part in the
hostlltties. If they are assaulted
or shot, they are assaulting and
shooting in return. In defense
OF life. limb and liberty they are
meeting mobS with mobs.
Deplorable as all this lawless-
ness is. the response of the black
man to the white man was bound
to come some time. The negro
has long been free. He has ac-
CURED some education and prop
erty. He has made a place for
himself in industry. The laws
under which he lives guarantee
him equality. He escapes no re-
sponsihility that rests upon the

driven either into hiding or

Is there anybody at the South
or elsewhere who imagines that
the compulsory service of 100000
negroes in the United States
Army. in many instances so
Creditably as TO win high COM
mendation, has had no influence
upon them or the mass of their
enough to assume that with 239,-
600 cciored men in uniform from
the Southern states alone, as
against $4,000 white men, the
blacks whose manhood and pa
triotism were thus recognized
and tested are forever to be
flogged. lynched, burned at the
= stake or chased into concealment
whenever Caucasian desperadoes
are moved to engage in these In
famous pastimes?
We grieVe over the hardshipS
of many subject peoples a long
way off and on occasion manifest
something resembling indigna-
ton, but in all the world there Is
hardly population so God-fo--
saken and -forsaken as our
own blacks. Whether it is agree
able or not. therefore, the Wash
ington outbreak is a warning to
all Americans that their race
wars hereafter are going to be
race wars. The negro citizen is
going to have his day In court.
And he ought to have it. Re
must have it. if our vaunted demo-
cracy is to be worth row of pins.

should go to war with Germany for
inhuman conduct and then condone
