@"The >colored man is the creator of

to James Weldon Johnson, writing in
the August "Our World" published
at 9 East 37th street, New York city.
After reciting that colored people
sailed with Columbus, explored with
Narvaez, fought in every war on
American soil, and contributed by
their labor to the nations prosperity,
Mr.. Johnson says: a..
. However, honorable and glorious
as is the colored mans record, it is
not the most important story about
him in America. For a display of
the elements of stamina and courage
and loyalty and of intelligence, ii
does not begin to compare with his
peace record. It is in the victories
of peace that the colored man has
demonstrated his highest claim te

It is in the victories of peace that he
has stood the test of the more essen

PRESIDENT OF FRANCE

Bulletin on Equality Will be Is
sued to Americans Tour .
ing France
By Paul Scott Mowrer.

Paris, July 19.-Following Incl.
dents in which American tourists in
Paris have taken offense at the pres
ence of colored people in cafes and
ON sightseeing cars, Premier Poin-
care, under pressure from French col
ored deputies has agreed to request
the United States government
through the French ambassador in
Washington, to endeavor to explain
to Americans that colored citizens OF
France enjoy the same rights as dc
white citizens and will be protected
by the law against discrimination.
In addition, the French govern
ment intends to issue an official state
ment on the subject addressed to the
French people and visiting foreign
ers, particularly with a view to pre-
venting unpleasant incidents in the
future.
The number of colored people in
France is insignificant, and there is
no race prejudice against them. 1t
is feared that in the event of a dis
pute in a public place between a
French colored man and an Ameri-
can tourist who took offense at his
presence, a Paris crowd would side
with the colored man.
Finally. the French people will be
warned that they must not dlscrlml-
nate against colored people, not
withstanding any protest by Ameri-
can visitors.

Appeal Staff Guest
OF BLekre Tire Plant

Members of The Appeal staff were
the guests of the Blekre Tire Co. in
the Midway district on Tuesday.
And when we say "guests" we mean
just that. After being greeted per-
sonally by Mr.. E. o. Klekre, presi-
dent of the firm, we were escorted
through the plant by Fred Baker, the
company's colored salesman, and la
ter were the guests of Mr.. Baker at
the company's excellent cafeteria.
We had heard before this, of the
friendliness and pleasing personality
of Mr.. Blekre, but we were agreeably
surprised nevertheless. Mr.. Blekre
showed himself familiar with the
movement of colored people to the
North and was interested in the flow
to St. Paul in particular. He knows
and expresses respect for number
of outstanding colored men in the
city. Altogether we were more cor
daily received there than at any
business house in the two cities. We
have sneaking hunch, too, that the
first tires we'll buy for The Appeaps

1t was helpful to the citizens of the
Twin Cities who are interested IN
church affairs. Those who attended
and observed the conduct Of the meet
ings expressed themselves in a IA
vorable way.
"The pastors of the Baptist
churches of Minnesota are grateful
to The Appeal for the publicity it
gave this meeting, in creating a ia
vorable public sentiment for the COM
ing of said meeting, and in keeping
it before the public while it was still
in session. The Appeal has proved
it's ability to serve the public in a
large way. Therefore the pastors OF
said churches urge the people to as
sist in making The Appeal one OF
the greatest papers among our group
To do so we urge all to become sub
scribers for said paper.

GARVEY|TES AGAIN ASK
PRESIDENT FOR MARCUS
Petition for Release of Defraud-
er Contains 140 Pages
of Signatures
(Crusader Service.)

Washington, Aug. a. Supporters
of Marcus Garvey, guilty or inno-
cent, fraud or Moses, have again Pc
titioned the White House for a de-
partment of justice inquiry into the
case and for the Presidential inter-
vention for their imprisoned idol.
The petition has 140 pages of sig
natures and reiterates the charges
of unfairness, although such charges
are almost nullified by the fact that
the very day on which Garvey was
found guilty his own paper, "The
Negro Times" carried a leading ar
ticle praising the conduct of the case
and commencing the Judge for his
eminent fairness to the defendant
The petition moreover attributes
Garvey's troubles to "a rival enemy
organization by the name of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People" 1t does
mot say outright that the N. A. A. C.
P. was responsible for the fact that
Garvey used the mails to defraud the
colored people, or for the sale of pas.
sage to Africa by Garvey and his en-
ployes on the ghost ship "Phylli:
Wheatley." Nor does it exactly state
that the N. A. A. C. P. should be helt
for Garvey playing the races, as al
legged by one of his former officers
or paying out a Black Star Lin,
check on house which was being
purchased for his first wife.

Chicago, Ill.,, Aug. 3.-A reporter
from the Chicago Defender investi-

broadcasted by the Associated Press,
to the effect that a gang of colored
workmen had invaded a dance at
Worth, ILL.,, and taken the wives of
the men for partners and found that
the whole story was a fabrication OF
a reporter. The facts as brought to
light by citizens of the town showed
that trouble had occurred within the
workers. camp and the townspeople
had nothing whatsoever to do with
the disturbance.
Citizens Laugh at Story.
Following the trouble, many of the
workers have left the camp. Inc
number has decreased to 40 and the
men have the sympathy of the white
citizens of Worth, who denounce the
story published Monday morning in
the Herald Examiner of the trouble
as an absolute lie in its entirety
They laugh and sneer at it.
