MESSICK SAYS HOLT,
R0SEMAN ON TRIP

Ashua T. Messick. who says he is
an acting liutenant Of the Nolun-
teers Of America in Wilmington. In
a letter 10 The Evening Journal to-
day gives his version OF the recent

that Holt was going a short distance
TO look for work. Messick lives in
Mission Hall on Shipley street above
Fifth. local headquarters OF the Vol
unteers. His version follows:
Editor Evening Journal,
Dear Sir: Having seen in your
esteemed paper a statement Of Cap
tain John +. Roseman, Of the Nolun-
teers OF America. TO the effect that
1 took one John J. Holt with me TO
Niagara Falls, 1 would like 10 put
the matter in the proper light so far
as I am concerned. I did take Holt
with me. but it was at his request,
so that he could seek employment in
the country. am acting lieutenant
OF the Volunteers of America myself
and ! know that Holt was not con-
nected with the organization. He
did not make any collections while
with me.
Captain Roseman and myself left
in machines on July 25 on the way
70 Detroit. into Canada. to Buffalo.
Niagara Falls and then on back TO
Wilmington. on the morning Of
our departure Holt came 10 me and
asked to be taken out in the coun-
try so that he could look for job.
Instead he stayed with US for the
entire trip and Captain Roseman
knew that he was along and knew
that he was not doing any collecting
The two machines became separated
at Niagara Fails and I did not see
any more Of the automobile until
got back In Wilmington. Holt cams
back with me. 1 cannot see where
can be held responsible for Hol
leaving wilmington.
Yours sincerely,
"ASHUA T. MESSICK.

the arch enemy of the colored race.
The Crisis and other periodicals and
many colored soldiers asserted that
instead of Investigating and endeav-

ment to which the colored troops
were subjected, he rushed around,
made few speeches telling the coils
ored soldiers, to be "good'' and then
took the first boat for the u. S. Gin

For a colored man to laud the
brutal South, which has heaped I'M
speakable wrongs upon his people for
hundreds of years, is a disgusting ex-
hibition Of servility. Imagine if you
can, AN 1rishman approving the, aw-
full murders by the British soldiery;
conceive if you can, a Jew condoning
the ,pogroms in Russia, Poland and
the Balkan states; think Of an East
Indian lauding the English who blew

ize these things then you can get a

colored man to laud the South.

another kick. Oh, no; they fight back
when they are attacked. ~
For: some time past Henry Ford,
the Millionaire automobile maker, has
been printing a lot of dirty stuff

have money and the influence which
goes with it and they are preventing
the sale of the paper. It has al
ready been barred from the streets

way to do it; fight back
