Huns Polluted interned Ships.

The condition of the informed ships,
after their German custodians had left.
was something understandable they re-
fiected great discredit upon German
seamanship. for it would have been
impossible for any people which really
loved ships TO permit them TO deterio-
rate as had these vessels and TO become
such ceSspools of filth, says Rear
Admiral William s. Sims in the
Worlds Work for July.
For three years the Germans had
evidently made no attempt to clean
them; the sanitary conditions were so
bad that our workmen could not sleep
on board, but had TO have sleeping
quarters near the docks; they spent
weeks scrubbing, scraping and disin-
fecting, i'm finally successful effort

Advised Moscow to Use
Race Propaganda
TEXT OF SPEECH PUBLISHED
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Nov. 26.-Union of the

ments Of all nations TO further the
cause Of world sovietism was urged
before the Moscow meeting of the Com
munist Jnterrntionale. ut which 10th
Lenine and Trotzky spoke, by the late
American radical and magazine writer,
John Reed, according to the text Of his
speech received from official dispatches
from Russia.
Describing the position OF the Negro
IN the United States, especially in the
southern states, as terrible" Mr..
Reed declared the Negro offers two
fold opportunity to the spread Of com
munism In this country--iirst. n strong
race and social movement, and second,
a strong ,proletarian movement.
''Socialistic ideas are rapidly dcvcl-
oping among the blacks employed in in =
dustrial establishments, Mr.. Reed
said.
white and Negro labor in both the
northern and southern parts of the
country must be joined in common labor
unions, he proposed, as the quickest
way to destroy race prejudice and de-
velop class solidarity. Until recently
Negroes were not admitted to mem :
bership In the majority Of unions which
comprise what is known as the Amer
lean Federation of Labor" he said
"The communists must not, however

Reed told the meeting.
Communists must avail themselves
of this movement in order to prove the
emptiness Of bourgeois equality and the
necessity for social revolution. not

Describing the status Of the Negro
In America, Reed asserted that, despite
the constitutional right to the ballot in
the southern states, Negroes were killed
II they dared to exercise this right
and that the use of separate schools
hotels and theatres existed in all parts
of the country.
This separation of the Negro from
the white is called the Jim Crow sys
tom, and the clergy Of the southern
churches teach that there is also n
heaven where the Jim Crow system Is
in operation, Mr.. Reed declared.
