December ito bring the message OF
reJuvenated Judaism to the Jews OF
America, and for the protection of the
Jews civil rights throughout the
land"
A prominent Jew explaining the
purpose of the campaign, said first
I'VE desire to prevent the lapse OF
public opinion or legislation into a
state of unfriendliness to the Jew"
TO this man, who is a. "reformed''
Jew, the Importance of keeping a
healthy public opinion toward the Jew
was even more important than the
revival of religious interest.
Judaism is a religion. There are
Jews of almost every nationality on
j earth. While the majority of the Jews
are in Russia, Poland, Germany and
Austria, they are scattered all over
the globe, and New York has larger
Jewish population than any other
city. There are Chinese Jews in
China, Japanese Jews in Japan, Indian
Jews in India and Negro Jews in
) Africa.
The Jews in the United States are
not all rich, but they are represented
in all lines Of business and trade and
commerce and in the learned profes.
slons, and their aggregate wealth is
enormous, but propaganda of hate is
carried on against them by the So
called American Christians, in spite
of the, fact that the, Christ was a Jew.
Now if the Jews with all of their
wealth and consequent power find it
necessary to fight to prevent the
lapse of public opinion into a state of
unfriendliness to the Jew" how much
more important for the colored people.
who have already lost many civil
rights, which are freely accorded to
the Jews, to make a determined effort
to regain them.
One sad thing about the Jewish
question is the readiness with which
the Jews join with the oppressors of
the colored people. Not all of them,
of course, but too many, when one
considers the sufferings of the Jewish
people through the ages Some rich
Jews, alleging philanthropy, have
given millions to aid in the lowering
of the social status of the colored
people because it pleased Caucasian
American Christians and brought
profits to their bullying pockets.

ter if not both and the laws Of the
states are in most cases explicit when
it comes to the former. Not only
does this race Of ours desire them but
it demands them and will never rest
until they are conceded in every nook
and corner of this country of ours.
The Afro-American wants and must
have everything good every other
class (race) enjoys in this country if
he is to keep abreast of the times and
be able to cope with them in the
great struggle of life. In this sec,
ton of the country, at least, we can
stand up and say so-tell the plain
Invarnished truth and should do So
That it is not advisable for the good
bishop to do so because of his resi-
1ence in the South and because of the
large church interests there he rep.
resents, we can understand. However,
good bishop, please refrain from Civ.
:ng out such interviews here in the
North where they do no good but on
he contrary have an effect that re.
tards the progress of those of the
race in this section of the country.

KILLING ,HAlTIANS.
A Marine Sport, Writer Asserts.

- "aiiiiS oPoIIy "IItSI HSSSftS'
New York.-How American marines,
largely made up of and differed by
SOutherners, opened fire with machine
guns from airplanes upon defenseless
Haitian villages, killing men, women
and children in the open market
places; how natives we're slain for
sport" by a hoodlum element among
these same Southerners, and how the
ancient corvee system Of enforced la
Dor was revived and ruthlessly exc
cuted, increasing, through retaliation,
the banditry in Haiti and Santo Do
mingo, was told by Harry A. Franck,
the noted traveller and authority on
the West Indies. Mr.. Franck was in
Haiti in January of this year on tour
of the Caribbeans for the Century
Magazine.
The natives were armed largely
with obsolete and useless firearms,
some even with scythes, according to
Mr.. Franck, and it is to this fact
rather than to the boosted marksman-
ship Of the marines that he attributes
the deaths of 5000 blacks and of only
twelve whites.
Wilson Is Blamed.
Mr.. Franck blames Secretary Dan
ielS and President Wilson for failing
to control the situation in the black
republic or to take steps to change
the prevailing low value placed on the
lives of the natives by the forces of
occupation.
Il do not know these things of my
own knowledge" said Mr.. Franck.
HRut T heard Of than1 from nanv ro-
liable sources, including sources
friendly to the Americans, and I am
certain in my own mind that they are
true.
"While some killing was necessary
a good deal of it was uncalled for.
One of the factors which I found re-
sponsible for conditions was that the
marines stationed there were COM
posed very largely of young Southern
, ers, who looked down on the Haitian
population, which is nearly. 100 per
cent black, and held native lives very
cheaply. There was also great pre-
dominance of officers from the South
| II found many earnest young South,
ern officers, who were undoubtedly
doing their duty to the best of their
ability, but they took harsh view OF
their duty and placed too small value
on the lives of black people. Further
than that, there was a hoodlum ele
ment of young Southerners among the
enlisted men who killed the blacks fo1
sport. These were mainly men who
did not get into the great war and
were anxious to have military feats tc
their credit"

remains, according to Bancroft, that
".the roll of the army at Cambridge
had, from Its first formation, borne
the names of men of color" Free
colored men stood in the ranks by the
side Of white men. In the beginning
OF the war they had entered the
provincial army, and the colored men,
like others, were retained in the serv-
ice after the troops were adopted by
the continent"
A committee on conference, consist
Ing of DR.. Franklin, Benjamin Harri-
son and Thomas Lynch, met at Cam
bridge, October 10, Its, with the
deputy governors Of Connecticut and
Rhode Island and the committee Of
the council of Massachusetts Bay, to
confer with Gen. Washington, and ad-
wise a method for renovating the
army. On the 23d of October the

enlistment, especially such as are
slaves?" All were thought improper
by the council of officers. It was
agreed that they be rejected alto
gether.
In general orders, issued November
IL, Its, Washington says: Neither
negroes, boys unable to bear arms,
nor old men unfit to endure the fa-
ttgues of the campaign are to be en-.
listed"
Permitted Their Enlistment.
Washington, however, in the last
days of the year, under representa-
tions to him that the free colored men
who had served in his army were very
Of h1i
and fearing that they might seek en-
ployment in the British army. took
the responsibility to depart from the
resolution respecting them and gave
license for their being enlisted.
Washington promised that If there
was any objection on the part Of Con-
gress he would discontinue the enlist
ing of colored men, but, on January
10, Its, Congress determined that
fully in the army at Cambridge may
be re-enlisted therein, but no Others"
The entire aspect of the affairs
changed when, in 1779 the South be-
gan to be invaded. South Carolina,
especially, was unable to make any
effectual efforts with militia, by reason
Of the great proportion of citizens
necessary to remain at home to pre-
vent Instructions among the colored
men and their assertions to the enemy,
who were assiduous in their endeavors
to excite both revolt and desertion.
The result was that in all the South
ern states the legislatures passed reso-
lutions to enlist the colored men, and
the colored patriots of the Revolution
are as much entitled as their white
brethren for the ardor with which
they fought the common enemy
whether they we're bondmen or free
men. It has never been possible to
give an exact statement as to the
number Of colored men who served in
the Revolution, for the reason that
they were generally mixed in regi-
ments and not calculated separately.

COLORED COLONlAls.
Many Colored Men in the American
War for independence.

The employment of colored men be-
came subject of much importance at
an early stage of the American War
Of Independence. The British natur-
ally regarded slavery as an element
OF weakness in the condition of the
colonies, in which the slaves were
numerous, and laid their plans to gain
the colored men and induce them to
take up arms against their masters
by promising them liberty on this con-
dition.
The situation was looked upon by
the public men Of the colonies as
alarming, and several of them urged
the Congress to adopt the policy of
emancipation. But while the general
feated, the exigencies of the contest
again and again brought up the prac.
teal one Of employment for colored
men. whether bond or free.
Only Freemen Wanted in Army.
In May, 1775, Hancock and War
ren's committee of safety introduced
the following formal resolution: RE
solved, That it is the opinion Of this
committee, as the contest now be-
tween Great Britain and the colonies
respects the liberties and privileges
of the latter, which the colonies are
determined to maintain, that the ad-
mission of any person as a soldier into
the army now raising, but only such
as are freemen, will be inconsistent
with the principles that are to be sup
ported and reflect dishonor on these
colonies, and that no slaves be ad-
mttted into this army upon any con-
sideration whatever"
Washington took command of the
army around Boston on July 8, 1775.
The Instructions for the recruiting
officers from his Headquarters at Cam
bridge prohibited the enlistment of
any negro" It may also be noticed
that they were forbidden to enlist
ANY person who is not an American
born, unless such person has wife
and family and is q settled person
in this country"
Many coiored Men Enrolled.
Notwithstanding all this. the fact

JAPANESE TO DEMAND RACIAL
EQUALITY,

Advices from Washington say that
the Japanese government has broad
ened the issue arising over the pro
posed exclusion of her nationals from
owning land in California, it was
learned from official sources today
She will now insist that the United
States formally recognize the equality
of her citizens with those of any other
nation. Such recognition would take
the form of an official declaration
similar to the one proposed at the
Versailles conference and withdrawn
by Japan.
On that occasion two great Japa'
nese demands were before the confer
ence. Japan insisted first upon a
statement recognizing the equality of
her race; second, that Shantung with
it's vast resources in minerals, it's
great German developments and it's
100000 of people be given to her.
The council compromised by giving
Shantung. Now she demands that the
United States alone give her the far
more desirable concession which the
council of nations, acting upon a plea
from Australia, expressly denied.
1t is recognized both by Japan and
the United States, it was pointed out
in official circles today, that nothing
whatsoever can be done to prevent
the citizens of California from enact
ing the proposed land expulsion act.
Such an act, Japan maintains, is an
unjust discrimination aimed at her
alone.
The final issue will come, it was
pointed out today, with the first act
under the California law. Formal de.
mand of satisfaction will then be
made.
The Japanese question ought to be
of intense interest to the colored
people of the United States who are
oppressed by the United States gov
eminent under the laws as now inter
preted by the ruling Democrats, by
the Democratic state governments in
the murder belt of the South and by 9
general vicious public opinion.
To the colored men who are fighting
for absolute racial equality of al
American citizens, the action of japan
in demanding racial equality in for
eign land ought to be an inspiration

WOULD "CONVERT" THE JEWS

Some members of the Episcopal
board of missions favor the raising of
fund of 100000 for the purpose
OF converting the Jews, because they
are losing faith in Judaism and be-
coming >atheistic.r
This move brought a quick retort
from many of the rabbis, three of
whom we quote:
attempts to convert the Jew
nave never been successful" said
Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple
"and the thronged synagogues. refute
the charge that the American Jew
is straying from his faith"
Rabbi tStolz said that reports that
the Episcopal Church might be in.
duced to appropriate large sums for
Outstanding the Jew were too ri
diculous to discuss.
Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Tenn.
pie Sholom declared that Judaism
was stronger than it had ever been
and that the American Jew was one
of it's greatest factors.
In Europe they have had for hun
dreds of years, a great way of ICON
verting'' the Jews by surrounding the
ghettos and numbering men, women
and children. In Hungary, recently,
hundreds of Jews have protested
Christianity to save the lives of them
selves and families, but all of the GER
tificates of baptism were overprinted
in red, mot good in case of pogroms
(massacres)."
The Jews of the United States will
not rush to Christianity because they
know that American Christians would
then segregate them and compel them
to ride in jim-crow cars and lynch
them just as they have their colored
brethren

Not "Nigger'-Not "Negro."
(From the Washington Bee.)

Bishop Wilbur Thirkield, in discus
sing colored Americans in the South
western Christian Advocate, and in
his reply to Irwin S. Cobb, says: "The
writer means we'll, but he does not
seem to know what the term niger
that has persisted as a relic of slav-
cry and has in it the sting of liquid
fire to every self-respecting Negro,
must CO."
Yes. and The Bee asserts that not
only the word "nigger" must go, but
the word Negro" We are American
citizens, the same as you, although
our skin may be dark The white
man manufactured both terms and
the Government legaliZes them and
colored Americans perpetuate them.
For Gods sake, give both terms rest.

Hates the Term "Nearo."

II hate the term Negro because it
Is being used in terms Of hatred. It
is the cause of the segregation Of the
Negro; it is being used in contempt
In public places; it is an excuse for
DISTINGUISHING him; and it is an ex-
cuse for lynching him. Only one
tenth of one per cent Of the colored
people In America can trace their
descent to Africa, and there iS no

Negroes than to call all white people

The biggest and most important
football game in Kansas today is the
annual battle between Washburn and
Kansas university, this is an annual
affair and will be played at Lawrence,
the game will start at three O'Clock.
The rivalry between these two teams
is remarkable and Washburn deserves
great credit for the fine fight and
spirit of craftsmanship they always
show against the Crimson and Blue
warriors. Last year the K. U. team
came to Topeka expecting to win by
two touchdowns, but the Blue team
held them to a no score game 0 to o.
Kansas Will be anxious to wipe out the
sting Of this tie while Washburn on
the other hand will be hoping to put
over a real victory after coming so
close in 1919.
Both the rival coaches are former
stars of their respective colleges. Doc
tor Allen is the "Phog'' Allen of old.
one of. the greatest all around athletes
ever turned out at K. U. He has been
most successful as a coach for several
years and this season has taken over
the duties as head coach at K. U.
Dwight Ream. coaching Washburn is
an old star football player, being the
greatest quarter that ever called sig
nails for Washburn. He was assistant
coach last season but this year is head
of the athletic department.
