World Peril Is
White, Not
Yellow, Claim
Day of Exploitation of Colored
Races Is Past, Sociologist Tells
Christian Church Forum.

Columbus, Ohio, April 1.-THE real
peril of the world has been neither
yellow nor black, but white" Howard
e. Jensen, professor of sociology at
Butler College, Indianapolis, Ind, as
serted in an address here tonight be-
fore tho Congress of Disciples of
Christ, national forum of the Chris
tian Church.
The atrocities of the Congo and the
Amazon and the encroachment of the
white race powers upon the Far East,
until finally checked by the rising mil
itary and naval power of Japan, will
serve to make this clear he contin-
ued. "Over all of the black mans land,
except for Liberia and Abyssinia, and
over all of the red mans land from the
Arctic to Cape Horn, there float the
white mans flags, while Asia, except
ing China and japan, is subject to
white rule. This supremacy has been
achieved through violated truces and
broken treaties.
Il agree with Lothrop Stoddard at
one point-that if race war comes, it
will bring about union of all colOred
races against the white, a combination
in which the white will find itself out
numbered four or five to one. This is
the day of the white mans salvation.
Within generation, or a century at
most, he must recognize that his per-
iod of exploitation of other races is
over, and he must learn how to coop
crate across racial lines in promoting
human progress and in building Il more
ethical civilization.
'The most important conflict group
in the past has been the nation, but
for several decades humanity has been
undergoing reorganization along lines
of economic, cultural and racial cleav-
age which in no way respect political
boundaries. We may expect that ma
tionalism will play an ever dwindling
role and that the coming struggles will
follow these new lines of cleavage"

Ku Kluxers
Everywhere,
Says Doctor

Knoxville, Tenn, April 14.-"The
Ku Illux Klan is everywhere" declared
Dr. X. G. Lewis Fowler of Atlanta, Ga,
who delivered an address here on the
work and power of the organization
sit is on the streets, in the churches, in
the city hall, on the police force. Any
where you go you can be sure that the
watchful eye of the khan is near and
that it has your number.
I'VE grant to the colored man the
right to live and enjoy the fruits of
his labor, but he must not hold office.
We will not stand for that He cannot
be governor, sheriff or any other of
ficer God never meant the coored
race to rule.
1.-The Negro race, although living in
one of the richest countries on earth,
remained in savagery until the white
man came"
In other parts of his address he at
tackled the Roman Catholic church and
told his audience why the khan would
keep the names of its members secret.
The khan, according to him, is going to
become a powerful political factor.

William G.. Wilcox
Praises Negro
Leaders

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, April.-Con-
cent unvelling of the Booker I. Wash
ington Memorial at Tuskegee Institute
was a group of DR.. Washington's
friends, members of the "Old Guard"
principal, to serve upon an honorary
unveiling committee. In commenting
upon the unveiling exercises Honorable
William G.. Wilcox, New York City,
chairman of the board of trustees of
the institute, said:
ITO my mind nothing was more en-
couraging than to see that splendid
honorary unveiling committee of the
Booker T. Washington Memorial, that
committee of about 100 colored citi-
zens of the country, whom DIR. Motion
had invited to act as the honorary un-
yelling committee. l looked and
telligent, forceful faces of those men,
and 1 thought had never seen more to
cause me to. feel more encouraged
about the Negro race.
81 have never had any doubt in my
own mind that the students at Tuske-
gee Institute were going to make good
use of the opportunities and advan-
tages offered here, but it is one thing
to feel that individuals would make
good and it is another thing to see
such fine group of men who already
have made good who already have
won distinction in their different
lines of work and l think if anyone
had any question about the capabili-
ties of the Negro race, that a glance
at the type of men composing that
committee, should reassure the most
doubtful"

Sue for Estate
of $1,OOO,OOO
Left to Schools

Newark, n. J., April 14.-Eleven
nieces and nephews of Mrs. Calista S.
Mahew of South Orange, who in Octo-
ber, 1921, died at the age of 9S and left
most of her $1,OOO,00O fortune to race
institutions, have filed an appeal
against the probate of the will.
Although it had been known that
Mrs Mayhem had been interested in
welfare work among people who were
not white during many years of her
life, the news of her leaving practical
ly her entire fortune to the race to be
complete surprise to the entire coun-
try.
Mrs. Mayhew's distant relatives is
similar to that used in many such in
stances. These relatives charge that
their aunt was of unsound mind and
that she did not sign the will. 1t will
be remembered that during the last
month case like this was contested
in New York in which Miss Cora Mel
son Brooks was awarded the fortune
of William A Denniston (white), re-
tired oil broker.
The date of the hearing has not yet
been fixed

rary in its nature, prohibits the col
