It was stated today in authoritative
quarters that though IL was desirable
that the Russian problem should be
solved At the outset OF the peace con-

It Is considered doubtful, In view Of
tho ma9nitude Of the task before the
COMMITTEES having the matter In hand,
whether the plan can be worked out
in detail before the date the President
has set for the commencement OF his
return trip to Washington. When the
plan OF tho league finally Is adopted by
the conference it il said the status OF
Russia will be similar technically to that
of neutral states which have not yet

be held open for her to enter as soon
as she has made herself ready to pass

Bolshevism Denounced
by Leading Colored
Citizens of Jackson Miss.

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 10.-(Spe-
ciaD-Negro leaders calling them
selves the representatives of 100000
Negroes in Mississippi, in confer
ence in Jackson, denied that members
Of their race are more susceptible
than their white friends of Bolshevis-
tic propaganda The men passed res
olutions affirming their allegiance to
the United States and the Stars and
Stripes, deplored lawlessness and
rape, denounced Belshevism and all
forms of radicalism, and called upon
Negroes generally to observe the law
to the letter.
Perry w. Howard, attorney, who has
been leader in war work, said the
answering loyalty of the Colored
race in the past is proof enough Of
their attitude against revolutionary
doctrines, and he said he felt as GER
tain as could be that radicalism would
not take root among the Negroes.
what we want" he continued, "is
protection against mob rule. We want
to live in peace and be satisfied that
when we lie down at night our fami-
lies will not be disturbed"

Anti tuberculosis
Association Doing Good
Work Among Colored
(By Associated Negro Press)

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 10-The work
of the Anti-Tuberculosis Association
among the Colored people of Atlanta
has been such that it has protected
not only them, but white families
with which they come in contact from
the ravages of the disease, declares
Miss Rosa Lowe, secretary of the as
sociation.
Miss Lowe says that no more white
people contract tuberculosis from col
ored people in Atlanta than colored
people contract tuberculosis from
white people. A Negro woman who
washes clothes for a white family in
which there is tuberculosis is just as
apt to catch the disease from some
soiled garment as a tubercular wash
erwoman bringing clothes to a white
family is apt to give the disease to
some member of the family, says Miss
Love-
Statistics in the files of the associ-
alton show that large percentage of
Atlanta's colored people have been
cured t'y the association in the past
ten years.. or, if they have not been
cured, the disease has been so arrest
ed that they do not endanger those
about them.
In addition to this, the association
now is carrying on campaign of
education among the colored people
that is teaching them now to live so
that the condition causing tuberculo-
sis will be stamped out

Bomb Throwers At

To Frighten Blacks
(By Associated Negro Press)

CHICAGO, Dec 1O.-The Hyde
Park Property Owners Association
and its unholy alliance is. again busy
in Chicago endeavoring to frighten
the people. The last move is that
of endeavoring to have William B.
Austin, lawyer, banker former presi-
dent of the Hamilton Club and owner
Of property on Brand Boulevard, oc-
cUpied by our ggroup, expelled from
the Country Club Mr.. Austin says
that he will fight the case and that
if he is expelled, it will be necessary
to expel a number of other prominent
members of the organization.
A bomb was recently placed under
the front steps of Jesse Binga, bank
er and real estate man, 1922 South
Park avenue, but it failed to explode
properly. Passersty heard the bomb
thrown in the yard of the premises,
and, seeing smoke issuing from un-
derneath the steps, they called the
fire department. 1t is known that n
bomb is an expression of racial feel
ing and a form of an attempted ex
preston of terror to frighten resi-
dents from the Hyde Park and Ken
wood sections. 1t is believed, how
ever, that their efforts will be in vain.

SOCRATES BELIEVES
COLORED PEOPLE Want
SOCIAL EQUALITY
CBy Associated Negro Press)

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 10-Archbish-
op Socrates A. f. O'Neil, D. D., presi-
dent of the God Charitable Interna-
tional Ethiopian Free Industrial
School, South Weldon, N. c., lectured
to large audience.
Speaking of the social unrest among
the colored race of this country, he
said: "The Colored man is making
a big mistake in craving social equal
ity with race of higher plane. Ger
tain Negro writer's and theorists are
filling our people with radical teach
ings. If the preachers of these doc
trines of equality, who prey upon the
mind of the ignorant, realized they
are like African fanatics, supersti-
tious, parasitic, in trying to dominate
the white race, they would stop their
clamor for social recognition with the
white people You must harmonize
with the white man, attend to your
own affairs and never attempt to go
outside of your own sphere, and in
that way you will get peace and con-
tentment"

Judge Terrelps address was one Of
eloquent oratory, enumerating the
deeds of valor, courage and loyalty of
the Negro from his landing at James
town in 1919 to the present day, and
his outlook and desires for the fu-
ture. "The Negro" said Judge Ter
rell, wants a share of the things
promised him at the time of the en-
trance of the United States into the
World war" At present he desires
industrial representation. To obtain
this a resolution has been drawn for
Negro industrial commission of five
men, three Colored and two white, to

headquarters in Washington and will
