BUCHANAN, Mich, Nov 26.-
Buchanan needs a new high school

recognize this need TO such an ex-

The petition asking the school

Actual Removal of Michigan
Central Shops TO City to Be
Accomplished Very Soon.

NILES. Mich. Nov. 2s.-Every-
body IN Niles IS awaiting with an air
Il expectancy the time when the &C

lraI yards and shops from Michigan

IL has just been announced that the

brought here by the coming OF the
Yards and shops Niles had TO busy
herself with the problem Of provid-
f,g homes for the newcomers. When
IL was announced that the Michigan
Central would move its yards and
shops al Michigan City TO Niles. and
that 500 workmen with their fami-
lies. making an approximate total OF
1000 new inhabitants, would move
20 Niles before the first OF the year,
citizens here generally wondered
v hat would be done with this influx
OF population.
To Meet the Problem.
But the citizens OF Niles did not
wonder for long. Instead they be-
gan 10 take steps that would meet
the problem Of taking care OF the
coming increase in population. The
Niles Chamber OF Commerce imme-
diately became active Public spirit
Cd men OF the community became in
terested. Immediately plans were
formulated for carrying on a hous-
ing campaign. This campaign was
conducted without the blowing Of
trumpets or the blare OF brass bands.
Niles wanted homes for it's expected
increase in population, and houses
were built.
Nearly 1000 dwellings, enough to
take care OF the addition in popula-
ton were built, and they are now
ready to receive their occupants
Niles apparently has successfully
met its housing problem, although
prominent citizens here declare that
IL the dwellings already erected and
the new subdivisions laid out are
found to be inadequate to take care
OF the situation, more houses will be
built and more subdivisions laid out.
Expects Big Increase.
Niles expects to increase it's popu-
latiOn from 1000 TO at least 5000
inhabitants within a short time. and
it realized that permanent citizens
demand something more than tents
in which to live. The money with
which to finance the house building
campaign was secured with little or
no difficulty. A half million dollars
was loaned by the Dodge Bros alone
for this undertaking. and other large
sums were loaned out for house
iuilding purposes. Niles citizens say
that IL is not every day that railroad
yards and shops valued at $4,000 are
laid down right in the midst OF a
city. and they welcomed their com

1t is unfortunate that the affair
should have taken place in the ma
tioual capital, or anywhere else in
this country. for we have been look
ed upon from all parts of the earth
as being the nation to lead in max
ing the world safe for democracy"
In the face of this black record,
the Times can only see in the Negroes
resentment of his wrongs the result
of agitation! The Negro would be
less than human If he did not finally
assert his manhood and defend him
self. We regard his self-assertion
as the most hopeful sign in the whole
dreary record of exploitation and
class rule to which he has submitted
During the Civil War he faithfully
guarded his masters plantations and
showed no signs of a desire for IL
beration. That was dismal feature
OF the struggle. His assertion Of
his humanhood today is the brightest
and most hopeful factor in his long
story of servitude. If it is true that
the Socialist movement deserves
any credit for the awakening of the
Negro, we rejoice in whatever mite
We have contributed to it. In that
movement the Negro will find COM
rades who understand comrades who
share his longing for the equality of
opportunity, the leisure. education
and happiness that can only be real
lied when workers Of both races are
members OF free world that knows
no race, color or class distinctions.

Ant,rct,o nsh.If Ice /.

From the work of recent explora-
tons, Sir Douglas Mawson concludes
that the rock foundation on which the
Antarctic Ice cap rests is very irregu-
lar, partly above sea level and partly
below, and that Its thickness, which Is
very variable, may reach maximum
Of several thousand feet. Under the
tbickest portions the static pressure at
the base may be as great as one ton
per square inch. Under such O cover
Ing there may be considerable accu-
mula t'on Of ground hect, and 1t Is as
sumed that the under portion Of the ice
mass Is undoubtedly soft and plastic.
Where the sea breakc up the Ice at
rate faster than The flow, the sea front
is substantially the coast line. But
elsewhere. as In the Great Ross barrier
and the Shackleton shelf, the supply
of Ice exceeds the rate Of erosion at
the sea front. and the overflow from
the land maintains thick sheet OF
shelf Ice extending far out to sea.
The sea front of the ice cap at the
present rate Of advance or flowing out,
IS estimated to have left the center in
the seventh century OF our era.

Coming to Buffalo on business
supervisor of large contract work in
Washington predicted the race out
break at the nation capital several
days before it occurred.
The man had good opportunities
for observation since many Negroes
were employed on the work he had
in charge. He related there was
much unrest among the Negroes,
much criminal activity by Negroes
which the police failed to suppress,
and asserted that he had himself seen
Negroes drilling after dark in out
the way places. On the other
hand, he related rising disposition on
the part of the whites to take measu-
res not countenanced by law.
The dispatches quickly brought the
fulfilment of the visitors forecast.
washington has no unusual reason
for race war 1t therefore seems safe
to charge the outbreak to agitation
and Indictment that are every where
developing belligrent spirit. There
is at present too much cultivation of
dispositions 10 make a matter of
every difference, grievance, passion,
prejudice. There is more encourage
ment to violence than cultivation of
restraint. Wild talk is having the
natural result, wild action. Every
element of the people is being taught
that it is the victim of some other
or several elements. This line must
be abandoned if had is to be stopped
short of worse.

HIdlnu a klnu,s Statue.

The fine equestrian statue Of King
Charles ], which was hidden in London
for protection during the war, has been
brought to light again. The statue.
which was cast during the reign of the
monarch, according to reports has not
enjoyed the uneventful career per-
nitted to most works of Its kind. II
was executed for Sir Richard Weston,
afterward earl Of Portland, who in
tended to place II as an ornament in
his garden at Rochampton. But this
function 1t never fulfilled. for 1t was
seized by parliament during the Civil
war and sold to one John Rivett. a
brazier, to be broken up. John, how
ever, being royalist. hid the statue.
and, by selling hundreds of bronze
knife handles purporting to be made
from 1t. disarmed any parliamentary
suspicious in the matter. On the res
toration Of Charles II in 1860 Rivett
produced the statue, which was
claimed by Sir Richards son. The
brazier refused to yield It, and after
years of dispute it was eventually pre-
sented to King Charles II and erected
on the spot formerly covered by the
original Charing cross.
