This movement is calculated to
benefit both white and colored
races. 1t is to atone, in a measure,
for the failure of white Americans to
recognize those Negroes who have
measured up to the standards of our
civilization.''
This book will enable whites to
know automatically about a class of
Negroes with whom few of them
come in contact. 1t is felt this book
will do more than anything else to
wipe out prejudice. 1t will serve as
an inspiration to Negro youth. The
Negroes who have achieved success
deserve such consideration.

Memorial Baptist Church Notes

The service at Memorial Baptist
church was well attended last Sun
day, both morning and evening. In
spite of the fact that they have no
permanent pastor, the people seem
to have mind to work. A big drive
to raise five hundred dollars has
been launched. The working force
has been set in contest form; ladies
against the men. Other auxiliaries
are at work giving socials and other
enterprises. Rev. E. L. Fuller of
Minneapolis preached two well &C
cepted sermons, laying great stress
on prayer, and urged the members
to stand by their deacons in these
hours of adverse circumstances. At
the close of the evening services
Rev. Fuller was asked to fill the
pulpit as supply-pastor and accepted.
He said that it was not time for him
to seek pastoral work here in the
The St. Paul echo., 1926-03-13

Twin Cities, but he was willing to
cooperate with the faithful mem
bers of Memorial, and be Of help to
them in whatever way he could serve
them best.
In connection with the rally, Rev.
Fuller will preach series on the ten
Beatitudes, beginning Sunday morn
ing, March IA, to run until finished
or until the church can get perma-
nent pastor.

The Echo Booster,
st. Paul, MINI.
My Dear Sir:
With reference to your letter OF
February %, relative to base ball
team in st. Paul, we wish to inform
you that for a number of years the
Up-Town-Sanitary-Shop has had a
team in st. Paul playing amateur
and semi-pro ball.
1t is true that this team has not
come up to the standard in play, and
was lacking for punch in the pinches
and did not have the cunning to over
come the disadvantages thrown upon
them due to the breaks of the
games. These faults, which always
resulted disastrously were due to the
poor judgment of the manager and
could have easily been remedied.
1t is also true that the team did
not get the proper support from the
colored public, nevertheless Mr..
Howell, the owner of the team, is
planning on starting his or a re-
organized team out again this year
In the event Mr.. Howell does not
succeed in perfecting arrangements
for his ball club this year or if the
Echo Booster and his committee
wishes another real snappy, fighting
team in the field, The Echo stands
ready to organize and support the
team.
Faithfully yours,
CYRUS L. LEWIS,
Gen Mgr. st. Paul Echo.

REPUBLICS 9TH I

Imperial Emblem Is Now

Especial to The Daily worksr)

Especial to The Daily Worker)
BERLIN, Aug. 11-Part of the Ger
man nation is today celebrating the
seventh anniversary of the birth OF
the republic while another section is
sullen and hostile and threatening to
battle for the restoration of the
monarchy.
President Won Hindenburg, mon
archist and devoted friend Of the ezs
kaiser, is riding two horses remark
ably well, with the aid of the social.
democratic leaders and other repub-
licans.
Cost Luther Post.
The new flag decree restoring the
imperial emblem with only slight
changes went into effect today. This
was the decree that cost Chancellor
Luther his post.
Bavaria fatty refused to take part
in the celebrations.
Hindenburg and his entire cabinet
attended the celebrations in the
Reichstag while a huge crowd sang
the old familiar nationalist song,
Deutschland Ueber Allies"
Suggested a Lower Price.
Hindenburg recently notified the en-
kaiser that he would never sign a.
decree confscating his properties, but
suggested that Wilhelm scale down hia
price. This Wilhelm is said to have
consented to do, on the theory that
he who grasps at too much may lose
all.
A national referendum under the
slogan: mot penny to the princes"
was initiated by the Communists with
the support of the social-democratic
masses. At first the social-democratio
leaders opposed the slogan, but owing
to the discomfort in their own ranks
were forced to yield.
Monarchlsts Boyeotted Polls.
Over 100000 votes were cast in
favor OF confiscating the Hohenzollern.
properties and giving the proceeds to
the unemployed but the monarchists
boycotted the elections and a sufficient
number of votes were not cast to
make the referendum legal according
to the constitution. Only 100000 votes
were cast in favor of the monarchy.
A telegram was received from Presi-
dent Coolidge felicitating Won linden
burg on the anniversary Of the repub-
lies birth and wishing the old Kaiser

WARNS WILHELM
EASE CLAIM ON
STATE PROPERTY
(speeIaI to Ths Daily workerl

N~FNN'o' ~ nv SaHy NNOTRGTI
BERLIN, Aug. 11.-Fear for the
preservation of the nationalist party,
which constitutes the main strength
of German reaction, has caused Presi-
dent Won Hindenberg to address a
letter to ex-Kaiser Wilhelm asking
him to reduce his property claims on
the German state. Following the huge
vote for appropriation that marked
the unsuccessful referendum held on
June 20 this year, the president feels
that the sentiment against the prop
erty claims of the former nobility is
too great to risk another battle on the
question.
Still Loves Kaiser.
The former kaiser's field marshal
addressed his erstwhile lord in Ian.
guage very reminiscent of the old
days. He assured Wilhelm that his
feelings toward the dynasty of the
Hohenzollerns would remain the
same" and that he would never sign
a decree against the kaiser. How
ever, 1t was respectfully submitted to
the crownless monarch that his claims
on the state had deeply agitated the
socialist and republican elements Of
the nation and that even many con-
servatives had been somewhat disaf-
fected on the subject.
He added that unless Wilhelm
agreed to reduce his claims there was
danger of the complete breakdown Of
the nationalist (fascist) party Hin
denberg also fears, he said, the OPEN
ing of the reichstag, at which time
even the conservative groups could
not be depended upon to support the
claims OF the ex-nobles
The kaiser seems to have been suf.
fciently impressed by the helpful sug-
gestions OF his still loyal Hindenberg
and has, thru his Berlin lawyer, an.
nounced he will submit revised claims
within a week or two.
