use IL on the increase only because
our speakers and writer's, especially
Do Bots and Warrington feel that its
repetition, ad nauseam, il necessary to
retain the good will Of the masses. The
term Negro" 10 not only absurdly In

Injurious. for tho following reasons:

LIBERIA OUSTED HUNS.
African Republic Was Only Nation te
ExpeI All Germans Dur
ina the WIZ.

London, March Liberia is said
TO have been the only state at war
with Germany which expelled every
German from within it's gates and Sc
questrated all their property.
Before the war there were about 800
German citizens in Monrovia, the capi-
tai, and Liberia was rapidly becoming
a German protectorate, says Alan
Bourchier Lethbridge, in the Daily
Ielegraph. The Germans, he adds,
confronted giant wireless plant and
evidently had made arrangements to
use Liberia as a link in the chain of
colonial possessions.
Their places now are being rapidly
taken by Spaniards, and Mr.. Leth-
bridge predicts if Spanish immigra-
ton into Liberia continues, Spain will
nave the largest foreign colony in the
country.

And damn his treacherous batteries without winldng!

|HUMAN NATURES FOULEST BLOT"

WY ear IS panied
My soul is sick with every days report
Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.
There is no flesh in mans obdurate heart
1t does not feel for man: the natural bond
Ut brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of skin
Not colored like his own: and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:
lis human natures broadcast fouest blot.

Al Ellis, newly wed outfielder of the Baronial aggregation, arrived in Bir- mingham yesterday afternoon. He will be out in his unie today, and will be- gin work at once getting in trim for the fast approaching 1920 season.
 Ellis obtained for himself a mon icl1er last season that probably will a Birmingham uniform. It was along toward the middle of the season and Ellis had been travelling at a pretty lively clip, piling up batting average for himself that was rather formidable. 1 He was hitting over 300 at that time. One day the Barons were having a hard time winning their game. There were men on bases and Ellis came to 1 bat A certain member of the darker | set, known as Sam to the habitual denizens of Redwood jumped to his 1 feet and yelled, Here comes the Ham mer Man, boys. the game is won" And Al has been known as the Hammer | Man ever since.

 New York, March 2l.-Boxing ana wrestling trials for places upon the Amer ican Olympic team will be conducted along lines similar to those arranged tor the track and field candidates. These conditions were worked out at recent meeting of the American Olympic com mittee and the official programme of sec t!onal and national trials will be an nounced within a short time. While no dates have as vet been fixed for these pre- liminaries it is expected that the sec tional bouts for the boxers will be held about the middle of June and the hnal tryout early in July.
 It is probable that the sectional con tests will be assigned to certain cities Tn the south middle west, Atlantic coast Rocky mountain and Pacific coast terri tories. The conditions to govern these bouts will be identical with those which will prevail in the Olympic contests at Antwerp August 15 to 26.
 Eight -ounce gloves will be worn by the contestants and the boxers VIII com pete under the rules or the lnternatlonal Boxing Federation, Three three-minute rounds will form the ordinary engage ment and two judges, in addition 10 the | referee. will pass upon the merits of the l boxers.

ID ATTLING NELSON, former ID ruler of the one-hundred and thirty-three-p pound class, fooled lot of the wise ones Just when every one figured the "Durable Dane" 70 be down and out, flat broke, his father dies and leaves him an estate amount ing to two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, which was his own money placed in the fathers care for safe-keeping.
 Nelson, always noted for his shrewdness in the ring, has turned out to be just as shrewd about if ln&ncial matters as he ever was with regard to glove affairs. Bat was figured to be down and out several years ago, because he tried to eke out a living with an alleged vaude- vile of questionable merit. Many times since Nelson quit the ring the fans have asked what has become of his fortune, and just as many times the answer has been made that he had lost staggering amounts in oil wells, gold mines and other worth Hess .schemes-and Bat always ad- mitted the misfortune.
 "Papa" Nelson looked after his sons interests. Early in Nelson's ring career, the father took certain portion of Bats ring earnings. He took it with the understanding that iupon his death it would be rurnec over to Bat. Now Bat reaps the reward of his fathers foresighted- ness and has given up theatrical am bitions to return to Chicago to look after varied interests in which tho father invested.
 Nelson makes no apologies for th'
 stunt that saved his coin. He says lhis father did far more with th' money than he could have been abl'
 to do. Bat realizes it would have been difficult thing for him to hav' kept his fortune intact during hl
 rambles about the country. Whel Inc had money some of his friends O former days never ceased to toliov him and on many of them he ha
 srant sums of sizable amounts h lean never hope to receive.

Howard To Face Tigers Two Games

When school opened last fall one or the greatest punches of baseball ma teriaI ever afforded any southern col Iese was on hand at Howard. Seven-- teen players, every one star, were sure of trying for the team which would in all probability have made record for Howard College during the 1920 season But the prospects of the Bull Dogs are not so bright now, TOT six of those baseball stars have left school men on whom Coach Dillon was relying to shape out his 1920 varsity.
 The lineup at the first of the term looked about like this: Catchers-Crewe, Head. Roberts,
 Lindsey.
 Pitcher.-walker. Martin. Mat
 thews, King, Ingram. First Base-Farley. second Base-McLean. Third Base-Ingram, Sargent, 0. B. Newman, Walker. shortstop-Peahend Walker. outfIeId-Carr, Sargent, Acton. W. D. Newman.
 Of these seventeen the following have left school: Crewe, Carr, L. Wal ker. Sargent, l.. Martin and Farley Crewe. last years catcher and leadint slugger of the team. failed to return 1 after Christmas. Carr went into busi ness. He hit over 300 last season l Louis Walker. a splendid pitcher ant third baseman, left school because n failed to do the necessary amount 0 college work to remain. For the sam 1 reason. Sargent one of the fastest out l fielders on the squad, was forced t
 retire.
 ] Lotion Martin, who helped hur 1 Howard into the limelight last season i accepted a position with the Standar oil Company in Texas after the holi days. Farley. hard hitting first base man, left school early last fall Hi departure leaves a hole in the infiel which will be very hard for Coach Dil ! lon to fill.
 Coach Dillon Is working hard wit his squad, but the prospects Of south ern championship are not what the ] were six months ago. The Bull Do /, coach's lineup is rather shot up, an
 he is finding hard time to patch u the broken pieces
 The first games of the season com this week, when the Bulldogs clas
 with the Auburn Tigers, Friday an Saturday It will be in this game tha
 Coach Dillon will get real line 0 the prospects of the 1920 Bulldog base
