day issued a statement announcing the
steps which had been taken in the
fight against the Ku KluX Klan. james
Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Ad-

statement, which is as follows:
"Colored People throughout the
United States, as well as white Ameri-
cans, are urged to join with the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People in fighting the
ridiculous and sinister mummery
which the Ku KluX Klan Is trying to
make people believe represents Ameri-
canism. Colored people have reason
to know that the Ku KluX Klan repre-
sents terrorism and oppression, that
it is organized to maintain so-called
white supremacy which means de-
priving colored people of their consti-
tutional rights by violence.

as much confidence in the reports al
leging unusually bad conduct of the
Colonial French soldiers toward Ger
man women, as they placed in reports
emanating from Allied sources to the
effect that German soldiers were
guilty of committing atroclous acts
upon Belgian and French womanhood.
We note throughout the article the
implication that only black soldiers
commit brutal violations of womanly
honor We are not eXcuSing the
crimes of the blacks if committed, but
we condemn the inconsistency of
Liberal" publications in giving such
ready publicity to the alleged bad con-
duct of French African soldiers
toward German women, while at the
same time maintaining complete 81
Ience regarding the reign of terror in
/ stituted by American Marines in Haiti.
1t is reported that many Haitian girls
ranging in age from eight to twelve,
/ have died as n result of having been
I criminally assaulted by white Ameri-
can Marines. 1t is further alleged
that members of the native constabu-
\ larry are compelled by white Officers
to procure native women for use of
! the whites as concubines. Also it is
matter of common knowledge that the
German barons so abused the African
women that the Socialist and Centre
parties combined in the Reichstag in
1912 TO put stop to 1t.
An the author of ITO the White
Women of the World and the editor
of LA Follette's Magazine" aware OF
these crimes?
In conclusion we make the point
that crimes committed by black
French troops against white German
women are no more reprehensible
than crimes committed by German
barons and white American Marines
against the black women of Africa and
Haiti.

Editor, La Follette's Magazine
Sir:
-HE undersigned wish to express
their admiration of the able and
timely editorial entitled people
Demand Free Press" while at the
same time expressing our disgust for
the reproduced article "To the White
Women of the World" Both articles
appearing in the November issue OF
LA Follette's Magazine"
We have for many years been adj
mirers of Wisconsin's fearless senator,
and have always regarded him as one
of the most consistent and progressive
senators of past and present genera
tions. However, we must confess our
surprise at finding such loathsome
article as ITO the White Women of
the World" in the columns of LA
Follette's." Such a malicious article
as the one complained of should have
no place in a publication which lays
claim to the progressiveness and liber-
ality of your magazine.
Granting the article states the literal
fact, it by no means depicts the funda-
mental truth of the situation. The
author of ITO the White Women of
the World" may not know, but Sen
ator La Toilette must know that the
black conscripts of France are not re-
sponsible for their being on German
soil Why not, then, place the blame
where it rightfully belongs; namely,
at the door of greedy French diplom-
acy in particular and the grasping di-
plomacy of the Allies in general.
1t is quite probable that all liberal
minded persons condemn the occupa-
tion of German territory by foreign
soldiers, be they black or white. But
harping on the cord of color prejudice
is not wise means of arousing inter
national public sentiment to demand
the withdrawal of such troops.
1t is also safe to say, that people
who think with unbiased minds place

building hoard is being presented to
the people and many indictments and
prosecutions are promised against
some of the "higher-ups." 1t is unfor-
tunate to think that any nation or
country would, in time of war, be in
tested with gang of petty proflteers
and greedy grafters. a few convic-
tions and penitentiary sentences for
those "higher-ups" would be II very
healthy outcome for their baseness
Altogether it seems TO have been Il
great year of crime and grating, and
no one seemed to care. But it seems
that at last the people are waking up
and rising up in arms against these
petty pilferers and demanding that
they be punished. Even in the great
national game of baseball the most
shocking exposure of graft came TO
light and caused many lovers of the
great sport TO become disheartened.
Surely the year of 1920 will long be
remembered by many crooks as the
year of their downfall
In the midst of all this exposure of
crime the Peace Council met in Brus-
sells to solve the differences among
the nations as to the Versailles Treaty
and pave the way to better under
standing between all the nations of
the earth.

The Congress now in session has
Just repealed the wartime powers of
the President and is hard at work
upon some kind of just and equitable
relief for the farmers of the country,
who are in distress and have no out

Our country has been fortunate
with all of its ills in comparison to
England and the European nations.
England has had and is still occupied
with the Sim Fein insurrection in Ire
land and many lives have been taken
and much property damaged and de-
stroyed. In Greece, Premier Venize-
los was overthrown and King COnstan-
tinO restored to the throne. What the
final outcome will be we do not at
tempt to foretell. Italy has had her
share of trouble in the Fiume situa-
ton. In Russia the Bolsheviki still
holds sway and seems to be too strong
to be dislodged from power.
Returning to our own shores and
touching upon matters racial, we note
with much satisfaction the effective
fight being made by the N. A. A. c. 2.
against lynching and the oppression
of Negroes generally in the United
States. Mr.. Garvey of New York
seems to hald the center of the stage
at present with his great scheme:
