WASHINGTON, July S1.-Threc con-
flicting angles on the race situation
created by the Washington and Chicago
riots were disclosed here to-day.
Representative Caraway, of Arkansas,
introduced bill in the House to have
all the negro soldiers, sailors or marines
discharged within two months, and to
prevent negroes in the future from be-
longing to the military establishment
of this country.
Representative Segel. of New York,
called upon Attorney General Palmer
to see that negroes arrested in the
Washington race riots be given fair
trials, saying that statement by Mr..
Palmer would help to eliminate the feel
ing among many people that the ne
groes are to he given different KIND
OF trial from that accorded white
citizens.
The report from Richmond, Va, that
the Ku KluX Klan was being revived
brought forth to-day a copy Of a let
ter sent out last month from headquar-
World, Columbian Union" in Nashville.
Tenn. This letter, which has been re
produced in the negro press to show
that the Ku kluX Klan is already re-
vived, invited white men to a secret
meeting on June 26.
The text Of the letter follows:
"Honorcd Klansman:
an all history there is no record
CT a Drawer race of men than that
who valiently aided in the recon
struction of our own beloved South
land nor could there be race more
truly loyal and moro truly law-abid-
ing and worthy Of the utmost trust
than those who Graded and upheld
the ku kluX Klan, even though it in
volved a seeming disregard of the
,hen established law.
"Their devotion to the interests of
their feilowman and their forgctfuI-
ness Of self will forever enshrinc
them in the hearts Of all true pa
triots.
'Thc Colur bian Union wishes to
porpctuate not only the memory OF
The loving service of these worthy
sides but to renew the spirit Of help
fulncss which made their valiant
deeds possible.
owe trust that the new Richmond
Klan will be worthy successor of
the Klan of half century ago and
that the new visions OF reconstruct

may ever be uppermost in their
thoughts.

The Klan was chartered on July 3,
1917, by the State Of Tennessee. The
purposes for which the charter was
granted were: "Thc organization OF a
benevolent order and institution of
subordinate lodges for social and char
liable purposes and the Improvement of
its members under forms of ritualism,
etc, and to pursue this benevolent work
in other states and countries"

WOMEN BIG HELP ON
VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
Preliminary Work Is Well Mapped Out
Big Showing in Former Loans
to Be Exceeded This Time.

Preliminary returns show that the
eral Reserve district are out to make
big showing in the Victory Liberty
Loan. Women chairmen and workers
are everywhere signing up for the
nth campaign. There have been very
few resignations. 1t is reported, from
women who felt that their obligation
to the nation had ended because the
1ghting In France was ended.
On the contrary, 1t is asserted by
Miss Grace Dixon, director for women,
Seventh district. and by other leaders
In the women's loan activities, the
women workers feel more strongly
than ever their obligation to get out
and personally 60 after bond subscrip-
lions. The very fact that individuals
are found who do not appreciate the
obligation resting upon the civilian
population has aroused in double force
the patriotic sense of duty in the
breast Of the women workers. These
are asserting through letters re-
ceived at Chicago headquarters by
every mail that they intend to work
twice as hard as in any preceding
loan---if that be possible-in order to
counterfeit the gutter sentiment
that is manifesting itself among GER
tain individuals in every community.
Preliminary work is we'll mapped
out in majority of the counties in
, the district. 1t is planned to have Il
larger number of women workers en-
rolled everywhere than was the case
in the preceding loans. Workers al
ready are securing pledges from re-
i cruits and veterans and it is promised
that a better showing will be made in
every state than in any of the Liberty
loans so far placed.
] The Fifth loan, 1t is pointed out, will

can give an especially large amount
