taste and the idea of degradation,
rape and murder. We know the
methods used to bring them out of
their own country. We know
how they have been torn from
their native life by armed raids and
incendiary fires to be carried into
captivity and thrust into barracks
On the Riviera, where the rich enjoy
all the subtleties of luxury and live
princely lives, | have seen these
unhappy blacks herded like animals
in a pen. The arms of many of them
are still marked with the welts made
by the ropes with which they had
been tied to bring them from their
country and to prevent them from,
running away, once they were
landed in Europe. Many of then
committed suicide to escape this
wretchedness. For all these reasons,
my comrades of the war and l pro-
test against the barbarism and
dupicity of the men who rule us,
and we add that the policy on which
they have embarked France tends To
induce the other nations, in so far as
they are able, also to make use of
black human cannon fodder"
If the protest of this distinguished
Frenchman of letters and brave
soldier is not enough, here is an ex-
tract from letter written by Jean
Longuet, the celebrated French ora
tor, economist, and journalist:
81 beg you to inform our British
comrades that we are absolutely at
one with them in their protest
against the crime Of employing black
troops in the occupied German Rhine
provinces. 1t is one of the most
odious aspects of our contemporary
militarism and imperialism. We
entirely approve of your protest
against the use of African or Asiatic
troops for the occupation of Euro
pean cities. Your action can in no
way be considered anti-French. On
the contrary, the best way you can
show that you remain attached to
the noble tradition of the France of
Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Michelet and
Jean Juares is to protest, as you
are doing, against the outrage in
ficted upon our country by our own
government"
There are a number Of persons
here at home who share the creed
that a French government can do
no wrong. Mr.. Simonds has written
a whole "history" of the war based
upon that remarkable theory. But
the theory has no real foundation
and is contradicted by every page
of European history.
We Americans ought not to adopt
the puerile and indefensible theory
that any government is much su-
perior in morality or deeds to the
common run of governments. And
it is not becoming to true Ameri-
can to excuse or to defend or to do
anything but abhor the use of nearly
one million black slaves, torn by
violence from their African homes,
and taught to indulge upon white
men and white women and white
children what Henri Barbusse
forcibly describes as "the taste and
the idea of degradation, rape and
murder"
The French militants ought to
be warned that American public
opinion abhors negro occupation Of
white German provinces as much as
do the distinguished English and
French soldiers and writer's quoted
in this article. The thing is shame
full, cowardly, and unworthy of a
civilized government.

Black Men for
Cannon Fodder

II should never be forgotten that
the strongest protests against
q the conduct of the British and
French governments since the war
have been made by Britons and
Frenchmen-to their own honor and
to the shame of their governments.
For example, here are some extracts
from letter written to e. d. Morei.
the English writer, by Gen. G. q.
Thomson, British military represen-
tative on the supreme war council
at Versailles from May, 1918, until
June, 1919:
"I share in full your horror and
disgust at the employment of French
black troops in Germany. can con-
firm what you say as to the sexual
proclivities of this men, to whom,
in default of women of their own
race, intercourse with European
white women is a necessity which
has to be met. There is another
revolving side of this question, which,
though not so physically revolving,
is even more serious-these savages
are being trained to the use OF arms
and taught to despise the European
races at the same time. Their worst
qualities are being stimulated and
they will return to their native lands
restless, dissatisfied and ripe for any
mischief.
"France is, in fact, militarizing
West Africa. This suicidal policy
is the work of a small clique Of
reactionaries and militarists who
serve the interests of industrial mag
mates. Ever since the signing of the
armistice both the French and Brit
ish governments have submitted to
the dictation of these men, and until
they are reduced to impotence, no
remedy will be found. The publicity
you are giving to these atrocious
happenings in Germany will, it is
to be hoped, rouse the public to sane
realization of the iniquities sane
honed by the peace treaties and also
of the total incapacity of the men
who made those treaties to deal
with modern problems, either at
home or abroad"
The Anglophiles and Francophiles
here at home will hardly have the
impudence to say that this. distin-
guished British soldier is ignorant
of the truth or that he is engaged
In spreading pro-German propa-
ganda. But if any Francophile apol-
ogist does suspect that General
Thomson is indulging British preju-
dice against the French government,
let him read what French soldier
and writer of renown has to say.
The extracts which follow are from
a public letter written to Mr.. Morol
by Henri Barbusse:
'I am heartily with you in your
protest against the use of black
troops. The hordes who are today
poured over German towns are pre-.
cisely what they were yesterday

BUY 5h PER CENT
-oNE-YEAR CERTIFICATES

Washington, Aug. 29.-As result
of the large over-subscription to the
515 one year treasury certificates, the
Washington Times in financial edi-
torial strongly urges investors to buy
outstanding victory loan notes, which
vii mature 81 months from August
20. Financial leaders are quoted by
the Times as pointing out that the
victory notes are placed in the status
today of really being short-term obi
cations of the government, and that
at presetn prices they will net about
~ per cent interest.
''In view of the fact that the treas
ury accepted subscriptions" says the
Times. "tor only s259. All 900 of the
52 per cent one-year certificates,
leaving a heavy unsatisfied demand,
it may not be amiss to call attention
of disappointed bidders for treasury
certificates and other investors to the
status of victory notes, which are
really short term obligations of the
government.
'"The total issue of these notes has
been reduced from $4,000, 100000 to
So $50 POI, $50 as of July 81, reduc.
ton of s643. 708. $50. The reduction
in the month of July was 7,642, 200
and it is regarded as certain that be-
fore THEN, maturity the total issue will
have been so far reduced that the
government will have no trouble II
selling any new issue with which tC
take up whatever balance of then
may then remain outstanding. They
win be payable in twenty-ene month:

The Woman's Club of Mariana has
sent out to the newspapers of the
state a special telegram. commencing
DR.. F. E. McClane for his good work
as superintendent of the boys indus
trial school at that place. There seems
to have come about in the last three
years a great change in the sentiment
of the people of Mariana toward the
school At the time the exposure of
hesconditions at the school was made
by a physician of the United States
public health service, the people of
Mariana seem to have been entirely
Indifferent to the condition of the
school-an indifference, by the way,
shared by several governors and cab
inets in succession. The fierce criti-
cism of the management of the school
by the state press, following the ex-
posure, awakened the people of Ma
Iianna. They are now taking interest
in tic school and are proud of it. 1t
IS to be hoped their interest will not
slacken.. Under the present governor
the state institutions are sure of fair
treatment, but none of US know what

and blighting fungi.
a new one has recently forced itself
upon US with really alarming threats
to our most staple crop-corn.
All over the state the yield of the
corn crop has been materially reduc-
ed this year by the black spot disease
of the leaves and stalks of corn. The
writer has found it in a majority of
the corn fields examined in Marion
County lit seems to be worse this year
than ever before. And it will pay
every farmer in the county to find out
f his corn is affected.
The first indications is the appear
ance on the leaf-sheaths and leaves of
small black spots. These become
larger ais the leaves begin to dry, and
the dried stalks and leaves are covered
with a rnouldy appearance.
The corn on affected. stalks some
times does not. make at all, there be-
ing only shoot and bare cob. But
it is almost always the case that the
grains on affected stalks are light and
chaffy. They don't fill out plump and
mature full and tight on the cob.
The only control measures so far
suggested is to get seed from fields or
stalks that are free from disease
This is very important. We are warn
ed also to plant corn on fields where
it has not been recently grown.
1 / shall be willing to help examine
fields for this disease, and would be
/ very glad to locate corn free of disease
from which other farmers may secure
seed for next years planting.

the passage free of American ships

would be all right if it was merely a

but why should the balance of the

an elaborate and expensive plant to
be used free by shipping concerns
