Our Own Problem

Why not stop for the moment eX-
claiming in pious horror against the
Bolshevik massacres, the slaughter
of the Armenians and the alleged mis-
treatment of the Jews in Poland long
enough to set our own house in order.
In the burning of a negro church
and school and buildings inhabited by
negroes in southern town recently
we have one more exposition of a
senseless race hatred which is build
ing a chapter in history as thorough
ly brutal and horrible in every respect
as any European debacle.
Over a period of years thousands
of negroes have been lynched or
burned at the stake in our southern
states. Negro property has been re-
peatedly destroyed. We have indeed
before us a course of deliberate
cruelty to men of another race which
forms an ugly spot sadly needing OBJ
liberation before we embark upon a
course of criticism of other nations.
Nothing more CHASTITY brutal can
be recorded than the average south
ern lynching. We have before US
an account of a recent lynching in
Dallas, Tex, which is soul sickening
and heart rending and Dallas, Tex, is
a typical American city of the more
progressive type.
Women and children Joined in the
CHASTITY affair which ought to shame
Dallas into some sober introspection.
After all fearful mistreatment of a
Southern black man without trial
is scarcely less horrible than some of
the stories which have come to US of

Endurance, not fieetness wins the
race. Never give up. Keep pegging
away even though everything looks
hopeless. Many a man has failed to
achieve both fortune and fame be-
cause he lost courage just as he was
within reach of them. What you de-
sire may be only one step ahead.
Keep going.

harbors bill. They say that two
dangerous tendencies are IN evidenced:
To substitute cash bonus, say
$50 a month for twelve months, to
all discharged soldiers fer the whole
land reclamation and allotment
plan;
To lend any soldier who wishes to
become farmer q certain sum with
which to purchase farm wherever
he may choose to locate, and thus
initiate against, if not actually elm
mate, the community improvement
and settlement feature of the Lane
plan.
The proponents Of the cash bonus
plan say that the purpose of the land
reclamation scheme Is to reward the
loyalty, patriotism and service of the
soldiers. but that the best way to do
that is to give them what they want
cash rather than land.
The advocates of individual settle
ment think 1t would be more effective
to give every soldier who wants
farm the chance to take it in estab-
lished communities wherever 1t pleases
him to locate.
The defenders Of the original Lane
plan say it will have to be essentially
that plan or nothing.

WGSh,nOto ton Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The most
fortunately situated nations, Secretary
of War Baker told the House Public
Lands Committee to-day, are those that
have "unconshmed agricultural lands"
available for private appropriation and
use. The proposal to reclaim lands
for the settlement of soldiers, there
fore, appealed to him.
The lands committee room has be-
come a forum Of debate for all sorts
of land questions. Tho impression is
growing that out of this room arc like
ly to issue the beginnings Of legislation
more momentous than anything else
under consideration by the present
Congress.
Friends OF the Mondcll soldiers land

scntials Of Secretary Lanes plan for
extensive land reclamation for soldiers

Job as President
He VIII Not Be Candidate
for Re - election, His
S0n-iya-LaaU Announces

" WASHINGTON, June 14.-President
Carranza of Mexico will not be can
dldate for reelection, and under no con-
dltlons will he continue in Office after
the expiration of his present term.
This definite statement as to Car
ranza's political intentions was made
here to-day in an authorized statement
by his son-inlaw, General Candida
Aguilar, Governor Of the State of Vera
Cruz, who was sent TO this country on
a confidential mission.
"News has been received from Mex
leo City to the effect that number Of
President Carranzas friends and sup
porters will meet soon," General
Aguilar said, "to offer him his reGlec-
ton or to ask his advice regarding the
man that must be supported in the
coming Presidential campaign.
"President Carranza will not con-
tinue1 in the Presidency of the republic
moment after the expiration Of the
term for which he was elected by the
people, whatever the conditions of the
country may be. He has thus informed
the press and his friends. Further
more, President Carranza will not lend
direct or indirect assistance to any
Presidential candidate. His strongest
desire is that the Mexican people may
elect freely the future President and
to retire himself to private life with
the satisfaction of having done his
duty
General Aguilar declared the Mexi-
can government was doing its utmost
to put down revolutionary movements
along the border, and blamed certain
unscrupulous dealers of this country
who have no objections to delivering to
Villa munitions and equipment in ex-
change for metals and cattle stolen
by Villa.
"The government has sent a com
petent number of troops to the States
of chihuahua and Coahuila to push the
campaign against Villa. There are suf-
hclent troops at Juarez to protect it in
case Of an attack by Villa.
of the Mexican government could
have had at its disposal sufficient war
materials the Dacification of the whole
republic would be O. fact by this time.
"As long as strict vigilance on the
border is not carried out Villa or any
other bandit will be able 80 continue
crimes. The American people must
realize that the pacification of Mexico
has not been effected, not on account of
lack of willingness on the part of the
government, but because of the in
superable difficulties the government
has been forced to meet"

Red Leaders Here
Doubt That Nation
Will Deport Them
Secretary of Martens Soviet
Forces Here Says u. S.

Russia, but Won't Do 1t

eve are perfectly willing to go back
to Russia at any time. We know the
United States has extraordinary powers
in a case like ours, but we do not think
it will exercise them"
That was the reply of Santeri Nuor-
teva, secretary Of the Russian Soviet
Bureau that was raided Thursday, when
he was asked yesterday to comment on
the demand of Senator King that Lud-
wig A. Martens, the unrecognized Boil
shevik "envoy," be deported.
In answer to an inquiry as to whether
the Allied decision in respect to 'Ad-
miral Kolchak would change the status
of the Russian Soviet government tu-
reau, Mr.. Nuorteva said
"The Allied council in Paris officially
extended material and moral help to
kolchak, but thereby they only gave Of
fetal character to something which was
BEND done all along Kolchak would not
have been able to remain in power in
Siberia for a week if it were not for
the aid he was getting from the Allies;
in fact, Kolchak's establishment as the
head of the Omsk government was from
the beginning engineered by Britain.
The Allied decision, however, does not
extend formal recognition to Kolchak
1t leaves it pending his getting to Mos
COW. Now, there is to-day less posi-
bility than ever before for Kolchak
victories. Within month his so-called
government viii be altogether elimi-
mated from the political life of Russia
partly because of the steady advance of
&c ~
the Ural front and partly because of
the ever growing revolutionary move
ment in Siberia itself. We can we'll
afford calmly to await such develop
ments, endeavoring as heretofore to
place the true facts about the situation
in Russia before the people of the
United States"
Charles Recht, the attorney for Mar.
tens and the others who have been
summoned before the Lusk joint legis-
lative committee, issued the following
statement last night:
"The business Of the Russian Soviet
government bureau was to establish
commercial relations between the
United States and Soviet Russia. 1t
IN no sense at any time took any
attitude in regard to the economic or
political conditions in this country or
advocated the establishment of the
soviet form of government here It's
business was purely that of giving in
formation. But because of this very
fact we regard the raid upon it not
only as unnecessary, but mainly for
the purpose Of spectacularism. Legally
it was most wanton piece of violence
The alleged search warrant was in
valid. The proceedings were so irreg-
ularly and brutally conducted that the
men conducting them committed mis-
demeanors if not more serious crimes"

hundreds were fleeing toward the
American side, where they were de-
tanned by American troops stationed
at the international bridge.
At $3.50 o'clock tonight the first
Federal wounded were brought into
Juarez from the outposts on the west

proximately S360,OOo, of which S250,o00
