destruction. A passerby saw her
struggling in the water and being un-
able to swim summoned Strother who
was within calling distance. Strother
an auto mechanic, leaped into the
stream with his clothes on, rescuing
the woman and with the aid of others,
resuscitating her. He then quietly
left the scene without revealing his
identity.
Several prominent Negro citizens
instituted a search for him and after
the money to offer him some concrete
evidence of their appreciation asked
if he would accept a gift from them.
Strothcr consented, whereupon the
iewelcd watch fob was presented to
him a few days later. The Negroes
have also indicated their intention of
securing the necessary affidavits and
bringing the act to the attention of the
Carnegie Foundation with the hope
that he will be issued medal.

Augusta, Ga, Sept, 11.-lf citizens
of Washington and Chicago have any
doubt about the facility wit which the
races maintain amicable relations in
the South, they should consider this
city where there is a very large Negro
population, but DESPITE which there is

One of the most convincing evil

which each race accords the other was
disclosed this week when committee

Sou thernerS Op=
pose Universal
Military Training
lBv Associated Negro Press !

NDy ASSOCIdleu 4NSBIO L lSoS.l
Washington, d. c., Sept. 11.--Def-
mite measures to organize Southern
Democrats in Congress in opposition
to universal military training were
begun today when Representative
Dent of Alabama, ranking Democratic
member of the House Military Af-
fairs Committee, introduced in the
House, an army reorganization bill
eliminating the universal training
idea.
The attempt to line up Southern
Representatives behind the PROPOSE
ton is based on opposition to any
scheme calling for military training
of Negroes. The contention is that
such training would set up serious
menace in the South.
No claim for administration sup
port is made by Mr.. Dent, and, in
fact Secretary Baker has laid before
Congress a universal training scheme
proposed by the General Staff.
The Dent bill calls for the crea-
tion of a standing army Of 250,O00 as
against the administration request for
100000.

WHITE SCHOOL TEACHER.
ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
AMOUNTING TO $1.1OO.

Miss Moreno Littler, graduate OF
the Teachers College Of Columbia
, University, is being detained in the
matron's room of the county Jail
pending action by the city detectives
department in the investigation of the
forgery of checks totaling approx
mately $1,000.
While Miss Littler admits having
signed another PERSONS name to
checks, no charge has been filed
against her.
81 thought I could get the money
to take care of the checks before
she could find out about them," she said
"Now / cannot realize that / am in
such a position-that / could have
such a step. And like all my other
troubles, they have come because l
loved some one too much-it was be-
cause wanted to be with her and /
thought / soon would be making the
money to be able to take care Of the
checks"
Telling of working her way through
Columbia University, where she was
graduated as kindergarten worker,
speaking for the modulated voice and
an Of education and refinement, halt
ed only by broken sobs as she went
over her earlier life, the young wom-
an declared she would yet be able
to make the checks good, and said
she believed no prosecution would
follow. 4si
May Help Others.
Then, relapsing for a moment into
hopelessness and saying she had "giv-
en- up" she declared: "But possibly
it was ordained that this should come
to me. / know that somewhere, with
my education and my opportunities
to travel, there is a great work ahead
for me-and it may be that 1t is in
such places as this Jail that l shall
find it-trying to bring some hope
back to these poor girls that l have
found here I have Stunned in New
York while / was in college, trying
to do uplift work, but never did 1
know there were girls to whom fate
had been so unkind as to these here"
1t was the story of the woman
wanting to keep up appearances"
that Miss Littler told, for she had
wanted to go North to get In touch
with the head offices of the surgical
corset firm for which her employer,
another woman, was the Southwest
ern representative. This woman, she
declared, she loves as dearly as a
sister, adding that she would go
through hell for her." and yet she
could not blame her for action when
she discovered the forgeries of the
three checks, one for $400 and two
for $3.50 each.
"I was teaching for three years
after leaving college in Michigan and
Illinois," she said, "and I developed a
bronchial trouble which seemed to
end UP each winter in a spell of
pneumonia. My physician told me I
must come South and I came to Dal-
las, but had very little money when
I came here.
