Massing Troops on German Frontier To force Huns to Accede to Rep-
 arations Demands.


 Paris, March 2.-The French rail- roads have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to transport troops to the German frontier.
 These orders are the most import ant which have been issued in the campaign which will be made to force Germany to accept the allied de- mands for reparations.
 The French forces now on the frontier number 10000 infantry, three troops of cavalry, 1000 guns and 300 airplanes. The most im- portant feature is believed to be the concentration of cavalry at the Rhine bridgeheads.
 The situation is very tense. The conference at London was abruptly terminated when the German dele gates made their amazing proposition to settle the matter by the payment of approximately ,29O,O00, GOO, when the allied demands called for the payment of $55, ,000, ,O0O, 900. ,
 The people of France are greatly aroused over the question and thev are anxious to have the matter set tied.
 In the event of armed forces being used to coerce Germany it is believer that only France and Belgium troops. will be used, and it is reported that Belgium is ready to follow Frances lead in the matter.
 The French government is hoping that Germany will see the hopeless- ness of her case and will recede from the position taken at London.
 It now ony remains for Marshal Foch to give the order for the French and Belgium troops to invade Ger many. If this invasion should come there is great likelihood that the soldiers would be filled with a desire tc wreak vengeance on Germany for the great damaoe her armies did in those two countries.
 Council Approves Move.
 London, March 2.-The preEmina- ry movement of French forces to German obedience to the al- lied separations demands was ap- proved by the allied supreme council in session here.
 A further session will be held this afternoon to determine the part each ally shall play and Marshal Foch's plans for occupation will be spread before the council.
 It is semi-officially stated that the first move of the French forces will be the occupation of tho Puar Valley f the council approves.
 I've Cormaa delegates to the al- lied council admitted that their coun- try was at the mercy of the allies and said that Germany would be unable to resist an invasice. even as far as Berlin

CARNEY FLAYS DIR. DUBOIS In
STRIKING ADDRESS.

New York, Jan. 27.-Liberty Hall,
the sanctum of Marcus Garvey and
his followers, on 1873 street was pack
ed to overlooking last Sunday night
to hear His Excellency. The Pres
ident of the Negroes of all the World,
reply to an alleged attack by DR..
w. e. Dubois in The Crisis. The Du-
Bots followers were conspicuous by
their absence, excepting the group con-
tanning a stenographer who achieved
notoriety by being threatened with
election if they persisted in their
unwelcome endeavors to take notes
of Mr.. Garvey's address. Mr.. Garvey
read that part of the December Crisis
containing the alleged libel, and be-
gan drawing parallel between his
great applause he charged that,
where's he and his Door parents
were solely responsible for his edu-
cation the rich whites were respon-
sible for Dubois Harvard and Berlin
pilgrimage in search of lore and
learning. He quoted from Dubois
Darkwater to show that Dubois de-
spises all poor and humble folks
when Dubois said he hated the poor
Irish and shabby Slav in the town
of Great harrington, his birthplace,
and took his natural place with the
well-kept, well-bread whites of the
better class He charged that DR..
Dubois was forced to resign from
Wilberforce because he could not get
along with President Mitchell; that
he has never fully accounted for the
funds of the Niagara Movement, and
that his two literary ventures, The
Moon and The Horizon, were dismal
financial failures. During his vehe-
'ment denunciation of the eminent
doctor he charged him several times
with deliberate lies in his articles;
asserted that he was a tool of rich
whites, and offered to debate him
any time anywhere on race loyalty.
Mr. Garvey stated that the Black
Star Line is bringing suit for libel
against the editor of The Crisis and
that U. N. l. A. had answered him
in The Negro World. Garveyites
Kissed every time Garvey called Du-
Bots name. When Carney finished
his TRADE against the doctor his adj
herrents gave him thunderous ap-
plause.

NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS PRE-
SENTS REVIEW OF CLARA JOHN
SON TRIAL.

Washington, D., c., Jan. 27-The
last and most difficult of the court
cases against Negroes growing out OF
the Race riot July 81, 1919 has been
tried. The National Race Congress
has stood ready to lend any assist
ance possible in all these cases.
The Negro Lawyers of Washington,
d. C. deserve great credit for the
able professional services rendered
free of charge. AS you see from the
published records of court proceed
ings. Carrie Johnson was convicted
of manslaughter. The National Race
Congress has become responsible for
her bond which was fixed at 100000
and she is now at liberty. Attorney
|B. j. Gaskins and his associates,
Attorney B. M. Watson. (botb Col
ored) made mastery defense and
have entered plea for a new trial,
which we have every reason to be-
lieve, will be granted.
1t will take a large sum of money
to fight this case to the finish and
the Congress is determined to save
this young and promising girl of Is
years from serving a sentence for a
crime of which many believe her TO
be innocent We are therefore ask
ing every member of the race every
where to send to this Office any
amount they can contribute or in
fiuence friends to contribute,
"Clara johnson, IS year-old Negro
girl, was found guilty of manslaught-
eb by jury before Justice Gould
Ia connection with the Staying OF
Detective Sergeant Harry Wilson ,on
July 21, 1919, during the race riots
in the Capital.
"Opon motion of District Attorney
Laskey the court dropped the charge
of first-degree murder. which the
grand jury had returned against
William Johnson, father of the girl
Counsel for the defense were not al
lowed to use this fact, however to
oppose the charge of the government
that the girl shot the detective.
Was Tried on Murder Charge.
1.-THE girl was tried on a charge OF
first-degree murder. The jurors
compromised on the manslaughter
verdict. The girl was calm when the
foreman of the jury announced the
verdict, but later broke down and
wept. She was led from the court
room by matron.
The trial began Monday in Grim
inal Court No, /, but there was diff
Guilty in obtaining a jury, and the
taking Of testimony was not begun
until Tuesday afternoon. The prose
cution, conducted by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Cromelin and Van
Doren, charged that Detective Wilson
was killed as he was entering the
Johnson home in search of persons
who had fired into the street. After
an exchange of pistol shots the de-
tective fell, MORALLY wounded, and
william Johnson and his daughter
were discovered by other officers
hiding under a bed. 1t was testified
that an empty cartridge was found
in revolver in their home.
To Ask New Trial.
"The governments difficulty was tc
prove which, If any, of the defend
ants fired the shot that killed Detec-
tive Wilson. Attorney B. L. Gas.
kins and T. M. Watsons, who defended
Clara Johnson. contended it was moi
possible to prove what shot struck
/ the officer.
Counsel for the defense gave no
tice of Their intention to ask for {
