SAYS HAITI WOULD WELCOME

New York-Before his departure
for Haiti. Perceval Thoby, former
charge d'affaires of the Haitian Lega-

sentative of the Patriotic Union Of
Haiti, requested that the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement Of Col

NAL Of the report that Haitian citizens
would oppose the appointment of a
colored man as U. S. Minister to Haiti
''The statement has been made and
spread that Haitians would not well
come a colored man as the representa-
tive Of the United States in Haiti"
said Mr.. Thoby. This is Of course
absurd. There have been several col
ored ministers from the United States
to Haiti and they have been received
with utmost cordiality. Moreover,
when American colored people have
emigrated to Haiti, they have found
the consideration and the courtesy
which was their due, and they and
their descendants are among the most
respected citizens Of the country. Haiti
would be glad to welcome, as she has
done in the past, colored U. S. Min

THE FIRST ROBINS

What if the skies are dark and drear;
Dismal and cold and wet the day.
What if the woods are brown and sere;
And wailing winter winds still playa
hear the robins singingl
Where now alone the jonquils and
Their little cousin daffodil,
With sweet shy faces nodding stand
Undaunted by the gloom and chill,
Others will soon be springing.
The heavens hidden now in gloom,
Shall mellow into sunlit blue;
And days as bright as flowers shall
bloom,
AS warm and sweet as friendship
true.
I hear the heralds singing.
Green leaves and grass, music and
song,
Springs joyful heralds fill the air;
And winters sway shall not be long.
