Neither has our government received
such intimat tions from any of our well

More than one American. including
persons of high position in the fed
eral government, have from time to
time received soothing assurances of
that sort. Doubtless when members

siren song echoed in their ears. But
Washington is not aware of anything
tangible which presages purpose
upon the soviets part to beat such
professions into deeds.
Until communist propaganda is
completely Shut-off. no undertakings
by soviet Russia would command the
slightest attention here. Moscow
might turn its back, in the most
solemn and binding fashion. upon its
communist theories about capital;
might grant every one of Americas
demands about the rights of private
property, about the Kerensky debt
and about a variety Of economic fac
tors. But as long as "the active
spirit of enmity to American fnstitu-
tons" continues to manifest itself
Moscow's hopes of relations with the
United States will belong to the cate
as the realm of iridescent dreams.

rolled at George Washington are en-
ployed Washingtonians, who carry on
their studies in connection with their
business careers, he pointed out.
How are we using these rich re-

says Senator James Couzens, of Mich
igan. The Detroit man aired a few
anti-prohibition views tonight after
visiting Paris and he seemed even
more hostile to the Volstead act than
he has been in@America. He does not
think much of the bloc system IN leg

beer bloc will work.

Senators Edge, of New Jersey, and

named by Mr. Couzens as his asso-

RACE SUICIDE NOT
PROBABLE In STATE
CENSUS SHOWS LARGE MUM
Der OF BIRTHS. MORE
AMONG THE WHITES.

There is little danger of race suicide
in Georgia, according to DIR. w. A.
Davis, director of the state bureau of
vital statistics.
"For every ten women between IS
and As of age in the state in 1927"
the director said today, there was one
baby born, or in other words, one
women out of every ten gave birth
to a child during that year. Accord
ing to the 1920 census there were
685,335 women in this class, and ac-
cording to the state bureau of vital
statistics records there were 6o,615
children born.
THE white race shows better rec
ord in this matter than the negro.
There were 385,654 white women and
44,525 white babies born, or one baby
to each eight women. There were Is
042 negro babies born to the 2oo, 681
negro women in the child-bearing age,
showing a ratio of one baby for each
II negro women.
"The greatest number of children
were born to fathers between rs and
80 and to mothers between 20 and rs
years of age An attempt to verify
the ages of parents when given as
over so in the mother and 20 in the
father was made In some cases the
local registrars apparently made no
effort to verify these ages and in 9TH
ers they were forced to take the state
ment of the parent who in the negro
race many times did not know the ex-
act age.

ALL IS NOT ROSY FOR
NEGROES UP NORTH
JUDGE TELLS THEM MILWAU
KEE is NO PLACE FOR

The following from the Milwaukee,
Wis, Journal shows how well the col

friends" up north
Twenty seven negroes Tuesday
were sentenced to the house of cor
rection for ninety days each and warn
ed by Judge Mitchell Blenski in dis
trict court that they must get out
of Milwaukee as soon as they have
served their terms.
"The judge told the negroes to
write to their friends in the south
and say that Milwaukee is no place
for negroes who have no means OF
support.
'None of the prisoners were repre-
sented by an attorney. The Judge call
ed four of the men charged with va
grancy before him one at a time and
questioned them. They would not give
an account of themselves and admit
ted that they had. ne -rnoney and nc
jobs.
"Others of the group were lined
up before the Judge and asked if they
had any defense. There were no an
swers.
Told They're Not Wanted.
1--WE do not want men of your
kind in Milwaukee, the judge said
1 am not taking exceptions to your
race but to your actions. You are va
grants who came north expecting tc
find soft living.
81 am going to give you a chance
to work for the county for ninety
days and at the end of that time you
will have ninety minutes to get out
of town. Write to your friends in the
south and tell them about it.
THE sentences followed a genera
clean up in the west side negro dis
trict staged by three squads OF detec-
tives. Thirty-nine men were arrested
but II were released.
"Police say that more than 100 ne
groes a week have been coming from
