walked off, the man attempted to fol-
low, and the highwayman turned and
fired, the bullet striking the white
man in the jaw. Both of the wound
ed men are in the hospital in a criti-
cal condition.

Importance with the sailing Saturday

Culture Society of this city to make
a formal protest to the French au-
thorities al Fontainebleau
Augusta Savage, 23, of 22S West

to the Fontainebleau School of Arts
because Of her racial identity. The
school she expected to attend is a
summer school for American archi-
Palace of Fontainebleau, and is un-
der the patronage OF the French gov
eminent. Miss Savage is the first col
ored person to apply for admission.
| lie refusal was mace by com
mittee of American men which has
the power to select one hundred stu
dents as it sees fit. Miss Savage's APP
plication was in charge Of Ernest
PeiNette, the painter.
Other members Of the committee

Strange Democracy
Miss Savage has studied sculpture

friends raised the necessary $500 for
the summer course at Fontainebleau.
She has returned the money.

Miss Savage said yesterday. "My
brother was good enough to be ac-
cepted in one of the regiments that
saw service in France during the war,
but ut seems his sister is not good
enough to be a guest to the country
for which he fought.
Il don't care SO much for myself,
because 1 will get along all right
here, but other and better colored
students might wish to apply some
time. This is the first year the school
is open and ! am the first girl to
apply, | don't like to see them estab-

Spring Water Puts Big Exodus
In Full Swing.
Press of Nation Discuss Phenoma of
Huge Hegira fr"-n Dixie
(Crusader Service)

NEW YORK, May with the APP
pearance of ideal spring weather the
Negro exodus from the South has
suddenly assumed huge proportions,
such as to theraten to beat the rec
ords of all former summers since the
big exodus begun. Such is the mag
nitude of the movement north, that
editorials have begun to appear al
most daily in the big northern white
papers. On May 10, both The New
York World and The New York
Times carried editorials on the sub
ject. Said The Worlds EDITORIAL:
"Some indication of the magnitude
of the Negro migration from South to
North may be gained from the report
of the Department of Agriculture
that 13 per cent, or $4,000, of the Ne
gro fran hands of Georgia have come
North during the last year. The move
ment is continuous and growing, and
though Georgia is losing much
larger proportion of her laborers
than any other state, the exodus is
not local or temporary affair. Ev-
cry southern community is affected.
From the point of view of the Ne
gro there is every reason for moving
North. Farm wages are low every
where; they are lowest of all in the
South. Socially and politically the
Negro enjoys much more freedom in
the North. Added to these incentives
to change are the discomfort of re-
turned colored troops with tradition
al living conditions, the breakdown
of the contract-labor system, recent
crop failures and general agricultur-
al bankruptcy. On the whole, the
wonder is that the Negro did not
walk out long ago.
"But if the South allows the emf
grafton to proceed it will wake up at
some not far distant date to discover
that there is nobody left to work the
plantations. The whole economic
structure of the South has rested
upon a class of unskilled labor which
is rapidly getting out from under.
Not socially, economically or politi-
cally has the South made it worth
while for the Negro to remain"
The New York Times declares that
the migration and the possible
changes in population should have
the serious, sober attention of the ma
ton as "the continued northward mi
grafton may well have far-reaching
consequences"

Peonage Atrocities Revealed in Let

(Crusader Seryice)

NEW YORK, May "A heart
rending letter has been received from
one of the latest victims of the peon-
age system in South Carolina. The
writer, Elliott Culbreath, tells how he
was robbed, mobbed, and sentenced to
death and his wife and baby beaten,
his home shot up and the colored
community generally \terrorized to
forestall any aid or sympathy to-
ward him
The trouble aroused because Gull
breath, who was an employer of la
Dor, paid his workers regularly and
could always get hands, whereas the
white farmers who would not pay for
their work were unable to secure Ne
gro labor to work their lands
The mob took all valuables from
the house of their victims, including
household and kitchen furniture,
clothing, chickens, hogs, turkeys,
geese, $50 gallons of syrup, Is bush
els of peanuts, sweet potatoes, about
30 bushels, and about 20 bushels of
peas, gold watch valued at 500, his
wife's watch valued at $50, a child's
watch valued at S35, and over S10O in
cash and a car worth about S70O:
the whole being about $1,000.

Violence Or Increase

Presenting the ,sscil;ing facts cf
mob violence in the United States, the
Civil Liberties repotr notes "a mark
ed increase in the number of cases."
and claims that +the violence is in
most cases the result of an organized
campaign of terrorism and lawless
assumption of power by private or
ganizations, notably the Ku Klux."
Stating that "Texas leads all the
other states in fioggings, and Earrings
and gatherings" the Civil Liberties
report claims that the increase in
mob violence sis the product of the
class feeling and prejudice aroused
by the war The dominant group be-
hind organized mob violence is that
OF white, Protestant and Gentle
southerners, centering in the Ku Klux

ABLY PASHA FOR FREE EGYPT
Former Egyptian Moderate Joins
Fight Against Brutal British
Occupation
CRUSADER Service)

(CruSader SerVice)
Cairo, May 2.-Adly Pasha, hither-
to in the class of moderates prepared
to make an agreement with Britain
on compromised settlement as the
price OF Egypts independence, stated
last evening in vigorous speech at
meeting of his party, that he would
not accept British occupation of Egy-
pit because it limited Egypt's internal
sovereignty.
The speech has caused a tremen-
dous sensation in Egypt, as, if the
Adylist Party joins the other Egyp-
tian parties in insisting that Britain
must go from Egypt, it is difficult
to see what other serviles can be used
to fool the Egyptian people and help
put over the British plan.

Glass Feeling Responsible

While most of the mob violence in
the last two years took place in the
south and southwest, "there were
scattered throughout the west, and a
few cases in the east" the report
states. "The record totals nearly
800 victems at the lowest count, not
including riot victems, thus averag-
ing over one person day.. Of these
1O2 persons were lynched, 33 whites
and 50 Negroes; 63 were tarred and
feathered, 6I whites and only two
Negroes; l67 persons were flogged,
l26 Whites and Al Negroes, and
about 460 persons, chiefly aliens and
/. w. WIS were deported from loc-
al communities by mobs. Comment
ing on this total, the Civil Liberties
report states that "the killings by
mobs in fact total more than 102, if
account is taken of the election riots
in Florida, where 30 to 60 Negroes
lost their lives, and of race rioting in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, where 30 were
killed.
