JAPAN STANDS PAT ON
RACE EQUALITY
Oriental Editors Believe Americas
Attitude. Taward Them is Like
That Toward Us
"a. N. 2. Seryicel

Chicago, Oct S-The Japanese
situation, which seems to have re-
solved iself down to a question of
color, and which is being watched
most closely by the Coloredl peo-
pie of America, is growing more
tense each day.
One of the mot remarkable ut
terances yet made and which car
iieS a quotation from one of the
japanese newspapers, has been pub
liShed by the Chicago Tribune. The
dispatch comes from Toxic, and
says:
"A section of the Japanese press
is growing more vitriolic toward
America despite The urgings of ma
ny publicists for calmness.
The Yorodzu, a prominent oppo-
sition paper, in commenting editor
tally on the fact that the Los Ange-
les Times has joined theSan Fran
cisco press in an anti-Japanese poll
cy, says Americans are now attempt
ing to force Japan to fight whether
she likes ii or not.
In part the Editorial said:
Eve never dreamed that America
would go to such length of selfish
ness andl aggression SO soon after
the war. We are unable to remain
calm when the United States is
showing herself to be such hypo-
crite, wolf in sleeps clothing, a
monster masqueradling as an angel
"After trampling Haiti andl San
Domingo under foot she now at
iemptS interference in Saghalien, in
cites a revolt in Corea and stirS up
hostility on the part of China to-
ward Japan. AT such rate Ameri-
cas- attitude to Japan will soon be
worse than it is to the blacks. IL
is no wonder that Japanese blood
has reached the boiling point
"The Kokumin demands that pub
licity be given to every step in the
present negotiations, saying thai
nothing can be gained in keeping
the nation ignorant of Americas in
tentions."

Association for The
Study of Negro Life
Especial to The Tulsa Stsr)

Especial to The Tulsa Starr
Washington, ID. C., Oct. 7.-On the
18th and 10Th of November the Asso-
citation for the Study of Negro Life
and History will hold it's annual meet
ing at Washington, d. c. This will
be a convocation of teachers through
out the United States now giving at
tention to research and instruction in
this eld. The management OF the
Association is endeavoring to make
this meeting one of the most represen-
tative ever assembled.
The purpose of this organization is
to collect sociological and historical
documents, to publish books on Negro
life and history, to promote studies
in this field through clubs and schools
and finally to bring about more har-
mony between the races by interpret
ing the one to the other
The reports of the work accom-
plished by the Association during the
past year will be made, further plans
for the more successful prosecution of
the work Will be devised, and num-
Der of instructive addresses will be
delivered by the most distinguished
men of the country.
Among the speakers will be A. B.
Hart, Professor of History at Har-
ward University; Franz Boas, Profess
sor Of Ethnology, Columbia Univer-
sity; L. Hollingsworth Wood, Presi-
dent of the Urban League; Oswald
Garrison Willard, Editor of the Ma
ton, and Col Robert T. Kerlin of the
Virginia Military Institute. These ad-
dresses will cover every phase of Ne
gro life and history.
During the past year the Associa-
ton has succeeded in extending the
circulation Of the Journal of Negro
History, stimulated research in this
long neglected field and published a
number of informing works of seri-
Gus scientific nature. How this move
ment may be more successfully pro-
NOTED so as to direct attention to this
large group of population in this coun-
try and abroad will be one of the i'm
portant questions before the associa-
ton.
The Association was organized in
Chiacgo, September 9, 1915, incorpor-
ated under the laws of the District of
Columbia, October 3, 1915, brought
out the Journal of Negro History jan
uary |, 1916, and since that time has
extended its circulation into all parts
of the world. The important results
have been to direct the attention of
investigators to the study of the
Negro and to secure for the race a
hearing in circles sometimes consider
ed exclusive.
The movement needs decided in
crease in revenue to extend the work
b yemploying trained investigators
and adequate funds for publishing the
results of their researches. To this
end the cooperation of all is earnestly
solicited. Persons not in a position
to make large contributions can sup
port the movement to the extent of an
active membership fee of $500 year
or can give a subscription to the Jour
nal of Negro History which is only
$500 a year.

STRIKES TERROR NO LONGER

No White Man
(Afro-American- Baltimore)

1t is reviving of this kind of an
organization that is now contem-
plated in Virginia. Fortuniely the
name OF Ku KluX strikes terror to
the hearts of Colored people no
longer. They have gone through
the World War and the race riots in
Chicago, Omaha and Washington.
For all the unhealthy places to start
up race antagonisms we pick the
State of Virginia. Virginia is too
far North to agree with the South
ern program of disfranchisement
and too far South to attempt TO do
without it. 1t is a splendid place
to stage a riot, and reviving Ku
Klux Klanism is the way to go a.
bout it.
