SOLDIERS ATTACKED
WHILE in BATHING
ceoeodlIes Brighten Buck PrIvates
and Even the Officers.

VERSAILLES, Aug. 6.-The beau
tiful marble swimming pool created
by Louis XIV. between the Trianon
palace and the Neptune basin, so that
the pages Of the king might enjoy a
dip on hot days, is now used by prl-
vate soldiers stationed in the barracks
near by.
During one recent torrid spell about
20 buck privates were recuperating in
the pool from two hours drill in the
morning before the MONDAY meal.
Suddenly, with terrified shrek, a
soldier sprang out OF the baths.
"Crocodiles, lieutenant, there are
crocodiles in the pool"
yPut a blanket around this man and
take him to the guardhouse. He IS
crazy with the heat" said the lieuten-
ant.
Then with a concerted rush which
equalled anything ever shown against
the Germans. the other 40 bathers
leaped out, "Crocodiles, crocodiles!
they shrieked.
The lieutenant, a veteran of many
battles, looked closer at the water,
and there with jaws set and eyes star
ing at him. surely enough were six
large crocodiles. oThe lieutenant's face
blanched and he wondered if he, too
had become affected by the heat, or,
perhaps, the red wine. Just then two
men bearing an instrument which re-
sembled a machine gun on high stills,
came along: Don't hurt the croco-
anes." they begged the lieutenant

The operators blame the moving
pictures for being responsible for the
erroneous impression the public has
of the work of an operator by show
ing the operator of a exchange
who operates her board at her leisure
Or pleasure-in telephone scenes.
There is a vast amount of difference
in the regular telephone exchange AMI
in a sub exchange.

Especial to The Broad Ak


Regarding the Division Of Negro
Economics, the Secretary Of Labor has
made the following announcement:
'The sO-called Division Of Negro
Economics has been abolished by the
Secretary Of Labor largely because
because there is no such thing as segre-
eating the economies Of Negro wage
earners from those of any other race.
1t is fundamentally un-Ameriean to
create classes or to recognize classes.
Our laws do not distinguish between
white men and Negroes or any other
class or classes.
cit is recognized that there is a race
distinction and sometimes it is very
convenient to have the assistance Of a
representative Of race in dealing with
the members Of that race. So far as
labor matters are concerned the race
distinction becomes more pronounced in
the field Of collective bargaining when
troubles between employers and en-
plOyes threaten. For that reason
member Of the Negro race has been ap-
pointed q commissioner of Cancellation,
who has been detailed to serve
wherever the secretary may feel the
need Of race representation and to ad-
wise the secretary.
"This change in policy SO far has
been working very satisfactorily. Much |
information has been gathered
regarding pertinent data and statistical
information relative to Negro workers

CHICAGO BRANCH n. A A Q. P.
CONDEMNS ADVENT OF KU
HUX KLAN AND CALLS ATTEN-
TON OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO
MENACE

At a recent meeting of the Chicago
Branch, held at Hope Presbyterian
Church, in Englewood, the following
resolution was presented and unanim-
ously adopted:
Whereas We look with suspicion and
terror upon the revival in our country,
and the institution in the State of Hi
nois, Of the Ku Klux Klan, and view
with amazement the bold advertise
ment in the public press of this organ
ization, bringing to memory its nefar-
ious and cruel outrages heaped upon
loyal American citizens, defenseless and
innocent, during the Reconstruction
period, Be it
Resolved that the Chicago Branch,
National Association for the Advance
ment of COlOred People, in public meet
ing assembled in Hope Presbyterian
Church, Chicago, Sunday, April 18th,
1921, do respectfully but firmly assert
that the advent Of the Ku Klux Khan
within the confines Of this State, tends
to inhame the breasts of its law-abiding
citizens with hatred and prejudice so
disturbing as to be in effect an assault
upon the peace, tranquility and dignity
Of the People of the State of Illinois,
and we, therefore, call the attention Of
the Governor, the Attorney General
and the General Assembly of the State;
the States Attorney and the Sheriff Of
Cook County; the Mayor, City Council
and Chief of Police of the City Of Chi
cago; and also the people Of the State,
to this actual and threatened condition,
to the end that steps be taken, investi-
cations instituted and prosecutions com
that will rid the State Of this
and avert this threatened
intrusion upon the calm and peaceful
progress of our Great Commonwealth,
and DO it

ton be forwarded to the officials and
