The following remarkable state
ment was made recently by Mrs.
Alice Gresham Dodd, the mother of
Corporal Jas. B. Gresham, who was
the first American soldier killed in
France. The statement was made at
the Gresham Memorial Home, which
was presented to her by the patriotic
people of Indiana as an evidence of
their appreciation of the services
rendered to his country by her son.
The shock of her sons death re-
suited in a serious breakdown in Mrs.
Dodd's health, but every one will
learn with interest and pleasure that
she is now in splendid health again.
Mrs. Dodd gives the entire credit for
her recovery to the celebrated medi-
cine, Tanlac.
She said: After my dear boys
death / had a general breakdown in
health. At first it was just indiges-
ton. My food would upset me and
l had to diet myself very carefully
l also had rheumatism with severe
pains in my shoulders, back and arms
and at times l would suffer greatly
and my joints would become swollen
and stiff. l was hardly able to do
but very little about the house and
at times could not even cook a meal.
| became very nervous and restless
and at night would lie awake for
hours.
"A friend of mine advised me to
try Tanlac. l am glad l did, for it
proved to be the best medicine l
have ever taken. 1t soon gave me
splendid appetite and relieved me en-
tirely of indigestion. My rheumatism
also disappeared and l am now able
to do my house work with the great
est ease. My nerves are steady and
strong. | sleep we'll at night and my
health is better than in years. shall
always be grateful for what Tanlac
has done for me-"

Pierre Eugene de LeSpinaSse,
member of the General Committee of
the Patriotic Union, who has just ar
rived in New York City from Haiti,
today issued statement mt the office
of the National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, 40 Fifth
Avenue, New York. in which he urged
prompt action for the regeneration of
his country if its ruin was not to be
made complete by the American Occu-
patton.
For the first time in 116 years,
said NJ. Pierre Eugene de Lespinasse,
''Haiti. during the last five years OF
American occupation. has defaulted
on its interior debt. This debt is held
by Haitian people, for the most part
who have suffered severe hardships be
cause of the stoppage of their income
and those who gave credit to the
Haitian government by purchasing its
obligations. are being ruined.
"If Americans wish to do something
for Haiti, it is necessary to hasten

ians have endured for six years. L DO
not know how long they can continue
to endure Their country has been
devastated by recent events. They are
living in ii state of destroying insecur-
ity. There is no work to be had.
Common people are miserable and un-
der-fed. and upwards of 100000 OF
them have migrated to Cuba.
"The first remedy required is finan-
ciaI. 1t was crime against the eco

The military devastation that has

difficult to maye reparation for the

published statement giving in detail
the events leading up to the preven-
tion by Mayor Peters of Boston of the
showing of David W. Griffith's film.
THE Birth of IL Nation"
ON May 16. the day on which the
nicttlre was to have been shown,
Mayor Peters suspended the license of
the Shubert Theatre. acting upon the
recommendation of the Board of Cen
sors which had received protests from
the Boston Branch of the National As
Sociation for the Advancement OF

secretary of the Boston Branch, \. a.

testantS against the film, among whom
were ii colored post of the American

CoIored Veterans of All Wars; the
National Colored Pythlan Organiza-
tion: The National Equal Rights
League: William II. Lewis; Rev. NJ. a.

church, Rev. Walter u. Mclean and
others.
The protest submitted to the Mayor
of Boston by Mr.. Wilson for the n. A.
A. C. p. asked that the showing of the
Birth of Nation" be prevented:
1. Because it is Il malicious mis-
representation of the colored people,
,lepicting them aS moral pervents.
. Because it glorifies the most
abominable crime of the lynching of
men. women and children by irrespons-
ible mobs.
3. Because 1t arouses sharp race
antagonisms that embitter citizens
against each other.
/. Recause it tends to a breach of
the public peace.
As Il consequence of the protest Il
hearing was held on the very day ON
which the film was to he shown. After
the hearing and the protest the
theatre license was suspended that
very day, and it became impossible to
show the picture in Boston.
The fight made against the Birth
of Nation" in New York City by the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People did not sue

York there are no censorS with the
authority conferred on those in Bos-

were carried, declared their lack of
legal authority to interfere with the
