The petition of the International Up
lit League, an organization whose men,
bers are negroes, addressed to President
Wilson, says
The United States government cannot
command abroad the full respect it de-
serves if it continues to stand aloof silent
ly, under pretence of state rights, and
allows its citizens to be saturated With
kerosene oil and burnt to death, butchcred.
tortured and lynched by brutal mobs with
out reproving and calling the state to
account for violating the Fifteenth Consti-
tutional Amendment, which says, No person
shall be deprived Of life, liberty or prop
erty without due process Of law"
While this petition was on it's way to
the President company of black SOL
diers was returning to the Union League
Club of New York the colors which the
men Of the 367th Infantry ten days less
than year before pledged themselves
to bear bravely and ultimately to re-
store" to the club. The deeds of this
regiment in fulfilment of it's pledge are
now part of the nations war his
tory. Recapitulating these deeds, Judge
Charles E. Hughes, in accepting the re-
turned oclors for the club, said:
"These colors come to US as a memorial
of the loyalty, bravery, sacrifice and splen-
did patriotism of the men of the colored
race. They have come forward in this bat
tie side by side with their white brethren
and that devotion to our country can never
be forgotten. This is not only a memorial
as | have said but it is pledge-a pledge
which we make to you as our colored
brethren, and we shall not forget the SER
vice which you have performed"
While Judge Hughes was paying this
tribute to the negro soldiers a Florida
mob was burning member of the race
at the stake. 1t is only the enduring
optimism and hope of the negro race
that permits it to keep warm it's faith
in the fulfilment Of such pledges as that
to which the returned men of the 365th
listened.

The Undelivered
lrxa.., IT, I..-lsl

From The Lvric)
NUT Of the night an angry woman ery-
~ ing,
A typist clicking on, the clink Of glass,
Laughter tenuous music, all denying
The whole dark silence of the sky; these
pass.
The lighted windows blacken, one by one;
The stealthy noises of the late hour
cease;
Anger and business, mirth and love ara
done,
Safe in sleeps umber envelope of peace.
Safe, as in death, they lie; but with days
breaking
They stir uneasy limbs once more. and
The dull familiar trouble of awaking,
And all nights soft forgettings swift
to go.
They have had release; but the unsleeping.
Are prisoners who have thrown away the
keys.

General Leonard Wood aUas soluted IN
the followi'ag manner by the Chicago As
sociatiop of Commerce:
N LINE of duty, bringing satisfaction
to It's people and renewed distinction
to high authority, you have come to
direct the military affairs of a depart
ment having for strategic centre the
worlds fourth city--to Chicago, most
American of American communities. And
Chicago greets you with gratitude, with
confidence, with enthusiasm, with affec-
tlon The guns are still; beaten but
unrepentent enemy awaits terms of peace.
and Tor the day our blessed dead and
sons returning plead that we forget: but
we must not forget, nor in your presence
can we.
AS the American people emerge vic
torious from the great war and momen-
tarlly hesitate upon problems of defence
they look upon you at last with complete
trust; upon you, Americas prophet of
preparedness, and while with hope they
contemplate the proposed pacific re-
straints of a league of nations, they hold
fast the belief that man and peoples
should be ready to defend their own. In
you, sir, we acclaim the patriot armed.
and in your character and career your
countrymen take just pride You wear
the medal OF honor for service against
the formidable Geronimo. In twenty-o one
days you marshalled the Rough Riders.
and beside you rode forth the nations
beloved-Theodore Roosevelt. At thirtv-
elght major general, you were giving
Cupa peace, health, independence. The
soldier-doctor became the masterful and
regeneratlve administrator. In battle and
judgment seat you regulated the savage
IN the Far East, coming to supreme COM
mand IN the Department of the Philippines.
Then your worth raised you to chief Of
staff, already at Governors Island rank
ing general of the army, and your voice
increasingly went forth to your people.
Prepare ye against the day of war" To
your efforts responded students camps.
the great Plattsburg officers training
school, and manifestations of system in
our hasty descent upon the Mexican 'bor-
der.
The great war found you at attention,
whatever the ndecision and unprepared-
ness Of your fellow citizens, and you have
served, as all like you have ever done.
although, to the regret of millions, far
from the battle line. A triumphant citi-
zenry in arms has justified your teach
ings. Chicago receives from Camp Fun
ston the American soldiers truest friend
the nations most far-seeing defender, the
sentry on the heights.
Welcome, Leonard Wood!

In six weeks 100000 rations we're
supplied, by our armies in France, to
100000 civilians in the relieved areas.
Two hundred tons dead weight OF

The total daily ration strength OF
our armies was 100000. An addi-
ton of one ounce to each mans ra-
