The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has
launched campaign beginning April

and History. The idea Is highly COM
mendable and we hope the movement
will he blessed with success. Race
pride Is the foundation stone OF
racial success, but very few
OF even our college graduates
seem to appreciate this fact. The read
ing Of colored journals Is almost ex-
clusively confined 10 what is known
as the common people A small per
centage of our professional men read
end support colorcd publications.
They deserve commentator for
their foresight and commendable abil
i'y. We hope that this movement,
amongst the college men may be
fraught with success. Many years ago,
DIR. Daniel Barclay Williams of this
State launched a similar campaign and
published many pamphlets on this
all important subject. Let the move
ment be enthusiastically supported.

GEN. j. THOMPSON BROWN DEAD

When Gen. J. Thompson Brown

who ever lived in Virginia passed over
to the other shore. He was fit sue
cessor to Lord Chesterfield. Few men
in this country have been able to
emulate his example. We have been
acquainted with him for more than a
quarter of century and during nj D,
that time, he has been man Of tran
scendcnt ability, lovely disposition
and an uncompromising advocate of
what he believed to be right.
He had host Of friends among tho
colored people and we were shocked
to hear of his death. One by one, the
best men of the country arc passing
away. We cannot understand It. Gods
ways are past finding out. Our sympa-

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

The situation In Europe at this
time Is that of an exhausted armed
camp. No nation is prepared for wa,
and no nation can wage one for any
length of time. The occupation by
France of the Rhine valley recently
without blood-shed has led man,
people In that country to believe that
this policy can DO followed out even to
the occupation of Berlin.
On the other hand, there are others
who realize and understand that the
French Government is trifIing with
a powder magazine which may go Of
at any moment and involve the Ma.
lions of Europe in one of the blood.
lest conflicts OF modern times.
Premier Lloyd George of Great Bri
tain understands this, for he Is now
c"ntending with an internal war in
Ireland. which is worse than an open
conflict. 1t involves mon. women ana
children. But what, is the cause of all
OF this? 1t Is the logical result of the
Treaty of Versailles. In that treaty,
IL was specifically understood and
agreed that the German people would
not pay any indemnity. They were
not to pay the cost of the war. They
were to restore the devastated regions
OF France and pay the amount neces-
h.
Government property was not includ
cd in this. This plan has never been
satisfactory to France, the chief suf-
ferer. She wanted to place the amount
| as high as she could and then force the
German Government TO pay in gold
the bill. The Germans set up the plea
| that their colonies had been taken
| from them, their merchant marine
destroyed and her engines of war dis
| mantled and rendered useless She
| could not pay what was demanded
unless she was given an opportunity
jto resume her trade and to take her
| place among the great nations OF
, the world.
In the meantime, the American nee
, pie virtually repudiated the Treaty
! Of Versailles for the reason that i,
| was linked with the League of Ma
!; tons created by President Woodrow
Wilson, the representative Of the PEG
pie Of the u. S. Great Britain, France
Italy and Japan proceeded then tC
organize the League OF Nations with
the United States left out. Although
the American Government had contr
buted it's men, with their lives togetl
er with billions of treasure, they or
ganized without The United States
and divided the sHoila OF war nmoac
themselves. One division that espec
tally affected the United States was
the Island of zap, strategic point
in the Pacific.
Japan was given this Island by ::ht

Nations, This country declined t.
