A NEGRO woMAN,s SUCCESS.

In no city of the North. or of the
South either, for that matter, is there
so large, splendid. well-managed and
successful home for self-supportfng
Negro girls, conceived, established and
conducted by Negro woman as the
Phillis Wheatley Home in Cleveland.
This woman is Miss Jane +. Hunter,
who began life as a poor country CIR.
in South Carolina.
The Phillis Wheatley Association
does work similar to that of the
Young Womans Christian Association.
Its entire plant is now valued ut
$50. 900, and the budget has increased
since 1918 from $1,000 to S25,OOO in
1920. There is a mortgage of Sl4,OUO,
50 900 of which is on the main build
ing and $1,000 on the annex purchased
during the past year for the develop
ment of the educational work. 1t has
a staff of nine workers, some of whom
conduct ii weekly program of classes
in English studies, in home economies,
and in various forms of recreation
Besides. there are three voluntary
workers who are being trained for
social work. During the past nine
months 3T4 girls have been housed and
more than 5000 placed in positions
through the employment department.
The POO members of the association
assist in its maintenance by paying
from one dollar to one hundred dollars
per year. The Phillis Wheatley Home.
"A little mustard seed planted in the
city of Cleveland. Ohio, is spreading
its roots: it is carrying good tidingS
of protection and Christian influence

CALL ATTENTION
TO INFRINGEMENT
OF PEACE TREATY
Allies Send Three Notes Deal
ing With Question of Ger
man Disarmament.

Berlin, June 25.-Three notes,
dealing with the question of Ger
man disarmament have been received
by the president of the German
peace delegation. The first outlines
many infringements OF the military
clauses of the peace treaty, saying
the allies have determined to reduce
the German army to 100000 men,
still stands. The security police,
this note adds, must be disbanded
within three months, but gives per-
mission for the disciplinary force
to be increased to 100000. Demand
is made that the German constitu-
ton be made to conform with these
military stipulations SO that conscrip
ton may be abolished by law. In
conclusion the note asks that legal
measures be taken against the export
of war materials.
Details of the substitution of $780,,
900 disciplinary police for the Sc
curity police are supplied in the sec
ond note.
In view of the incomplete delivery
of aeronautic material, the third note
says, the construction of such ma
terial which was to be resumed in
Germany on July 10, may not be
resumed until three months after the
surrender OF the allies of the aero
nautical material called for is COM
pletely carried out.

TAFT PREDICTS
QUIET DEATH OF
WET-:DRY ISSUE
Former President Points Out
That Congress Has Power
To Fix Alcoholic Content
Of Beverages.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wir

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, June 25.-Former Presi-
dent Taft slipped into town today,
remained long enough to drop a
chip of cheer for the thirsty thou
sands. and slipped out again to make
a lecture tour in Minnesota.
Mr.. Taft, although opining there
would be neither wet nor dry plank
in the democratic platform, ex-
pressed the belief that "a reasonable
and common sense enforcement
legislation would in the near future,
make the wet and dry fight a quiet,
orderly and unobtrusive corpse"
Intimating that personally, he did
not have a high regard for the 18th
amcndment-"but since it's the law
| believe in obeying it to the letter
Mr.. Taft pointed out that congress
had the power to fix the alcoholic
content of beverages affected by the
amendment as we'll as to regulate
the use of intoxicants and punish
violations of the law
1T is just as easy for congress
to say 2 per cent or per cent or
any other reasonable per cent as to
say IL of per cent. Congress
should and undoubtedly will be
guided BY reason, common sense
and the wishes of "a majority of
the people. A drattic, unreason-
able law defeats its own purpose.
No doubt there are those who would
like to make the manufacture or
sale of whisky capital crime. Such
law would not be worth the time
it took to write it. The people would
rebel against it. And that is true
of any law bearing on the subject
1t must be sane. sensible and in
harmony with the wishes of the
people"
After a brief discourse on the
trials of a plump person doomed to
the pursuit of trains, Mr.. Taf.
shouldered the league of nations
plank.
Il am for the league of nations
and wish the republican platform
had been more specific on that point
| would prefer the league withou,
multiplying reservations. But first and
foremost l want the treaty. EVEN
with article 10 struck out-I am
for article 10 and | believe the OBJ
lection to it is not we'll founded
there is much good in the treaty.
There is limitation of ornaments,
creation of court, and many other
important points. If we cannot have
the league with article l0-and we
cannot-we should not let any pride
of authorship or any individual opin-
ion bar us from the other benefits
of the treaty"
