GERMANY TO DISOBEY
ORDER TO CUT ARMY

Berlin While the council of am
bassadors, according to Paris dis
patches, has decreed that the Ger
man army must be reduced to 100000
men by July 10, there is no proba-
bility, nor even possibility, that the
order will be obeyed.
The government will ask postpone
ment of that decision until the Spa
conference, and ask consideration on
the ground of the danger to Germany
of throwing her superfious soldiers
out of employment at a moment of
economic depression. Government
representatives profess to fear such
an attempt will meet with armed re-
sistance on the part of the battalions
to be disbanded.

EGOTISM.

Without him still this whirling earth
Might spin its course around the

And death still dog the heels of birth,
3 And life be lived, and duty, done.
Without him let the rapti earth dree,
What doom its twin rotations earn;
Whittier or whences are naught to me,
Save as his being they concern.
Comets may. crash, or inner ire
Burn out and leave an arid crust,
Or earth may lose Cohesion's tire,
And melt to planetary dust.
It's naught to me is he's not here,
I'll not lament, nor even sigh:
| shall not feel the jar, nor fear,
For | am he, and he is T.

VISECHARCESH hike
Travellers in Europe Pay High
Admission Prices.
Passports Now More Carefully
Examined Than During War.

Budapest. Sept THE cost of
travel for Americans in central Europe
and Balkan countries is reaching ex-
tortionate proportions thru the
tendency to charge Americans the
same price for passport vises as that
of the American government for for
eigners, which recently was increased
from 81 to $40. If this tendency is
continued, an American in the course
of a few days journey passing several
frontiers, may have to pay $50 to $50
in vises.
For travellers of all nationalities,
however, the charge has been rapidly
increasing during the past six months.
The Germans began the high charges,
demanding SIS. Then Austria followed
suit with the same charge, and Hun
gary and other countries have been
obliged to make like charges Be-
cause of the huge revenue so obtain
able, passports are severely examined
more so than in war time.
Under pretext of Obstructing Boil
shevik travel guards at frontiers
ruthlessly turn back travellers with
out proper vises- Because or this IN
netghborly practice. it is difficult Tor
citizens of a foreign country TO pass
homeward. Budapest is now full or
thousands of people who, under the
new frontiers fixed by the peace con-
ference, are subjects Of Rumanla or
Jugo-Slavia, but can not get passport
vises home to their property. In one
instance Americans used their good
offices to get vises for two widows,
formerly Hungarians, but whose
farms are now in Serbia. They had
waited eight months to get permits
sion to travel so miles
The office of American High Com
missioner Grant-Smith at Budapest IS
daily besieged by hundreds of people
who wish to go to America or to Sc
cure help to reach their homes in
Czecho-Sloyakia or other countries.

LANDSLIDE TO HARDING
Nation Wide Support of G. o. P. Can
didate Says E. ". Hoch.

0A0AN6 SAN5 W. hONA4a
Nationwide landslides to Harding
for the presidency were predicted in
Topeka today by E. W. Hoch. Of Mar
ion, former governor and father Of
Congressman Homer Hoch. The for
mer governor bases his forecast on
conditions which he observed during a
speaking tour thru a number OF west
ern and midwestern states.
Hoch recently returned to Kansas
after four months on the chautauqua
platform. He filled 80 night engage
ments without missing a date. After
a brief rest he will enter the political
campaign and expects to make a num-
Der of speeches for the Republican ma
tfonal and state committees.
There is every indication OF a
Harding landslide everywhere, Hoch
told newspa per men at the state house
TODAY. at is almost impossible to find
anyone who talks for or defends Cox
either on the liquor question or on MS
shoot-mouth tactics regarding the Re-
publican campaign fund. There Is
feeling that he has engaged in dis
cussions below the dignity Of presi-
dental candidate and in every town
and city I have visited there is evidence
of a swing against him. believe Mis-
souri, will line up as a Harding state
this fall, while Minnesota looks fine
and I believe North Dakota will be a
Harding state in spite of its present
Nonpartisan League state govern
ment."
The former governor, accompanied
by Mrs Hoch, visited state depart
ments this morning and attended the
Fair this afternoon.

combining with down-state leader
he will be able to control the great
state OF Illinois and will name the
delegates-at-large to the Republican
National Convention. The imbecile
Republicans who endeavored to read
Thompson out of the party, charging
him with being pro-German during the
war, have been licked to a fragile.
1t is very gratifying to THE AP-
PEAL to note that Thompson has been
able to win in spite of the opposition
of the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago
Daily News and other hypocritical
newspapers, which for political rea-
sons questioned his loyalty.
Mayor Thompson is a great Ameri-
can, absolutely devoid of racial preju-
dice, the representative of all classes
of Americans. He is headed for the
White House.
THE APPEAL dominates William
Hale Thompson of Illinois for Presi-
dent of the United States.

prevent his nomination by the conven-
ton of 1920, but he may be elected

DUMB CANDIDATES,

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People an
nounces that fifteen of the seventeen
presidential candidates failed to reply
to a questionable sent them by the
Association on February 10, and re-
peated on March ~, asking their
views on seven main issues which
colored people regard as fundamental.
The QUESTIONABLE asked whether they
we're in favor of the enactment of fed
eral laws against lynching; whether
they would advocate Congressional en-
forcement of the Fourteenth Amend
ment by reduction of representation
Of states which disfranchise their citi-
zens, or whether they would advocate
as an alternative the appointment Of
United States Commissioners to en-
force the Fifteenth Amendment
whether they would endeavor to bring
about the abolition of Jim crow cars
in interstate traffic; whether they
would urge National aid to elementary
education without discrimination
against colored children: whether they
would favor the apportionment of COL
ored soldiers and officers in the army
in proportion to their numbers in the
population; whether they would abol-
ish radical segregation in the civil
service of the United States; whether
they would withdraw armed or other
interference with the independence of
Haiti.
The two candidates who replied to
the Associations QUESTIONABLE were
Senators Harding and Poindexter, the
former stating that it was not consist
ent with his views to take up the cate.
gorical questions asked by the Associ-
alton, that conventions are called
upon to enunciate platforms and poll
cies and that the candidate selected
must be expected to stand on the plat
form thus made. Senator Poindexter
stated that he was Gin favor of main
tanning legal rights and opportunities
of all our citizens, regardless of color
or condition"

THE BEGINNINGS OF SEGREcA.

The following item from the Chicago
Daily Tribune is interesting as show
ing the various influences which are
suggesting and encouraging segrega-
ton.
The possibility of Wendell Phillips
High school at Thirty-ninth street and
Prairie avenue being set apart for COL
ored pupils exclusively, "by a natural
segregation" was suggested last night
by Principal Charles H. Perrine. At
the First Presbyterian church, Grand
boulevard and Forty-first street. DR..
Perrine spoke at the first of a series
of Sunday night community meetings
in connection with the Chicago Plan.
Negro boys and girls deserve the
best available in the way of teachers
and equipment. The district around
Wendell Phillips is rapidly becoming
settled by colored people, and there
are comparatively few white pupils,
They are getting fewer and fewer.
THE time is near at hand when we
shall need another high school farther
south to take care of the increased
white population there. A modern
high school located somewhere near
t1ftieth street will be necessary soon
and should be included in the Chi
cago Plan. Wendell Phillips will be
then exclusively for colored pupils.
They should be given the finest high
school possible"
The Rev. William Covert, pastor of
the First church, Announces a. series
OF discussions on Sunday evenings to
consider the duty Of the church in the
development of the Chicago Plan.
Like nine out of every ten schemes
for the degradation of the colored peo-
pie 1t was suggested by a supposed
friend and perhaps there is a "nigger
In the woodpile." That is perhaps
Perrine had talked with some jimcrow
negro" who approved the outrageous
plan. There are some jimcrow
negroes" in Chicago and in other
cities including St. Paul and Mime
apolis.
Like the majority OF schemes for
the degradation Of the colored people
it was incubated in a so-called Church
Of Christ.
Principal Perrine said that the dis
trict was becoming settled by colored
people and therefore Wendell Phillips
