% EFORE this is In the hands of the
- reader Chancellor Stresemann of
Germany may have resigned in order
that passive resistance in the Ruhr
may be abandoned, for 1t Is held in
Berlin that he cannot c%apitulate Off
cially, and at the same time 1t is ad-
mitted that the nation cannot hold out
much longer in its course of opposi-
ton to France and Belgium. Three
things are breaking down Germany's
resistance-the cost and scarcity of
coal, the financial situation and the
failure of Bavaria to cooperate. The
Bavarian officials have made demands
on Stresemann which he can hardly
accept, and 1t is believed Bavaria may
secede from the German confederation
If the chancellor undertakes to put
through his program of dictatorial
measures.
Industrial leaders of the Ruhr and
the Rhineland have consented to a
scheme of gradual abandonment of
the passive resistance, and this may
lead to discussions between Germany
and France. 1t was held significant,
also, that a permit was granted for a
meeting of representatives of Prussia,
Bavaria, Saxony and other German
states with the Rhineland commission
at .Coblenz.

former was victorious by about $4,000

This" he said, %s a tragic hour
in the history of the negro race in.
the United States and the only way to
meet the exigency of this crisis is,
through the magnaminity of our
souls, to turn the other cheek" The
Ku KluX Khan would sheath its
sword from US forever; Alabama
would be satisfied, DIR. Motion could
go on with his work Of educating the
masses; while the federal govern
ment would be relieved Of the great
est embarrassment since 1860! ths
unwise promise that some persons
made will have been fully kept at

right when he says speaking on an
other topic: The suffering which the
innocent of one generation is willing
to undergo IS the foundation on
which the progress of the next gen.
GRAFTON is built"
IF the federal government forces
the issues against the will Of Macon
county people, a federal guard must
be placed at the hospital, in which no
disabled veterans could be comfort
able; nor would students go to Tus-
kegee under such uncertain condi-
tions. If a white personnel is ap-.
pointed after clear statements by
government officials to the contrary,
all respect for the government auth
GRITTY would be lost and negro veter-
ans would not go at all to the hos

Tuskegee institute for dormitory pur-
poses would be far from meeting the
real issue and mending the rent
made in the good will program of the
institute and the community. Should
Macon county and the governor of

for us one thing remains to be done
for the negro race to yield. to agree
with their adversary quickly and
ungrudgingly, not cowardly but as
the bravest act of ALL"

sian peasants have planted notwith-
standing the propaganda in America
that they refused to plant. They
have good crops and likely a large
surplus.
1.-The farmers Of America need to
know these facts above all others.
| When they are known, it Is plain that
the Lenroot bill and other legisla-
| ton passed at the last session are
| flimsy make-shifts and wholly made

During fifteen years before the

f. o. b. factory, and sold it's surplus
| ~ $50 in foreign countries and paid
| tie freight.
THE American farmer sells about
ten per cent of his product in for
| eign markets, but that little surplus
fixes the price on the big ninety per
cent sold at home. This not only is
unfair but it means bankruptcy for
agriculture this year.
1T will take immediate action of
Congress along the line of the Norris
bill to enable the farmers to set the
cost of production out of their
present crop. The President should
call an extra session Immediately
Il have read only three of the
Presidents speeches. One urged

last word in universal autocracy.
Another urged a confiscating tax IN

brothers had had trouble at previous
times. Also it was shown that the
