But, on the other hand if things must
run this way, then with justice to me,
and to those in America, don't criticize
the work which you know nothing of,
after you were asked to join with US,
and have ignored US, and made your peo-
pie t. feel we are against them.
Deny US of JUSTICE all you may, in
vite ali your OPPRESSION, insult US
from your TOWN, underestimate our
WORTH, and laugh at our ADVICES
because you think you know it all, but

one hundred and nineteen enlisted men
out OF half a million were recommended
for any high hOnOrs. Says he ordered
further investigation and many names
added. Made emphatic denial of his
charge that medal muss had shot to
pieces the morale of the Navy, declaring
that this was an insult to the officers and
men OF the service. Secretary called at
tention to Admiral Sims testimony in
which he said ''our Navy was not in this
war In a fighting sense. We're acting
as motor lorries besieging the enemy
except we were in the water. He
says there was no fighting on the sea.

the people.
Peculiarly so, the work Of the Virgin
Islands Protective League is largely for
the benefit of the laboring classes.
In st. Thomas they received US, also in
Frederiksted.
Before leaving America the labcring
classes at his end were advised that we
were coming to them on our arrival here.
We wired them, and since our arrival
we have tried to meet with their leaders.
Is it possible that we should cripge
like dogs and submit ourselves in such
humble terms, that are Undesirable g?
May | ask the PUBLIC, is it fair to pre-
JUDGE the minds OF the MASSES, the
very people whose cause we are sent to
support
They refuse to hear US, they crit
cize our work. and openly abuse US,
Why Because we speak the TRUTH.

that The ,eague paid its delegates to
come 70 these islands.
We are natives of these islands, and
as such we have every right here.
The Governor gave US the right TO
work In RI ese islands, and as citizens we
nave tie ftgnt.
If the people do not want their own
kindred AID others in America to help
a part n the reconstruction Of affairs
here, be + ank in saying SO, but before
making tt is declaration be perfectly sure
that you will not need their services at
some future day.
With reference to the hOOting and
Jeering and such remarks as we don't
want to hear you, coming from the very
persons Waom we are sent to help, is of
lttle or nc Importance to me.
lid saN, however, the same influence
which has worked its way into the minds
Of the masses, that only the views Of one
per on is light, whether they are wrong
or right, could have so evinced itself in
keeping Il e masses as quiet, when his
views were so clearly explained.
Whether people boot, throw rotten
eggs or else in America, is no reason
that it she aid be done here.
The american Negro tells the masses
of his own race to adopt the culture and
refinement Of West IndiansNegroes for in
the West indies they don't hoot and jeer.
1t is d part OF our duty to teach our
people to 90 what is RIGHT always, and
not TO feel that they are always right
merely because their conduct in everv

and narrow. point Of view.
