part of the constructive army in our
strife with Great Britain; he raised
thousands of dollars for the education
Of our forefathers and made appeals
for their freedom and when a life was
given in defense Of Poland, it was
given in the blessedness OF a COM
memoration of the past.
These battles having been fought on
the blood-stained fields Of France,
where lived in defense Of right and
justice Disraeli and Gambetta, who
battled in the early history of that ma
ton for the common cause Of their
government against the intrusion OF
those who brought on the war To
their aid nations came and we sent the
best blood Of our percentage Of the
ten millions Negroes in the United
States to aid in defense against the
protest Of many American claimed
citizens of the other group that we
have the opportunity to become a
fighting part of the worlds war;
Prejudice crept in and we in many
instances were deprived Of having the
chance to die in defense of the flag
which we had followed many thou
sands Of miles across the briny deep,
but God had given a man who had
been born a defender with unmeasured
sagacity and he picked the black
American soldier to fight under his
army, and like the eager bowling war
rior who showed the spirit to make
frances cause their own cause, the
late General Mangin, who was known
throughout the war as the man who
gave orders to advance and never an
order to retreat. He said before life's
exit, the American Negro was the
greatest fighter that had ever come
from America and tomorrow beneath
the fields where they sleep and the
peoples grow, these graves will be
decorated afresh and the tongues of
the orators Of that country will tell
the story of the sleeping giants which
the cussedness of race hatred refuses,
even after such valiant service, to give
to them common justice in the activ-
tiles Of commercial life and in the
hospitals of the United States where
the MANNED and shell-shocked soldiers
must 1inger until God sees fit to close
around his couch the message Of the
silent angel of death.
It is to be hoped that when they
leave these graves tomorrow, those
who have dealt unjustly and have gone
out simply as matter Of form on this
sacred day Of decoration that God in
His. infinite power will, in some way,
find the means to change their hearts
as to the injustice which has'been done
and which they are doing today against
the righteousness Of the only race, de-
spite environments, and odium raised
against them from birth to the grave,
which has never besmirched the flag.
Each time and each cause the Master
finds way and leader and we send
from this bereaved people tomorrow a
united prayer that in short God will
cause justice to be fulfilled as He in
tended and as we have carried out

MEMORIAL DAY AND ITS
MEANING TO THE AMER
ICAN PEOPLE
BY Charles Stewart, Jr.

Over half century ago there was
written into the statutes Of the United
States by the Congress Of the nation,
a bin fathered by the greatest volun-
tary soldier of the Civil War, whose
monument stands in Grant Park. His
tory tells his story when it says he
was the greatest fighting voluntary
general in the battle OF strife within
our own nation. North and South
divided, fighting cause on one side,
that human beings might be slaves and
on the other that it was the intention
of the All Wise Father in His crea-
ton of man and womankind that
Earth's provisions would give adequate
and equal opportunity to each Of her
citizens.
AT the close of this conflict, General
John A. Logan, commonly known to
the soldiers and the people Of the ma
ton as BLACK Jack Logan" dug out of
the cells of his brain the above law
which would awaken the people to the
service the men gave who fell on yon
battlefield. And since that time the
people have awakened to the fullness
Of the reason and from old Arlington
cemetery to the graves in the church
yards as described in Grey's Elegy,t
they gather tomorrow to pay tributes
of reverential respect to, the men who
sleep in the panied earth of Fort Pill
low, Fort Wagner and others of that
day.
Strife since that time broadened the
graves to the western plains, where
General Custer fell and Cyclone Bill
Cody fought and killed the great In
dian Chief in the channels of revenge.

Peace and quiet reigned for a time
until the outbreak in Mexico, when the
historic 9th and 10th Cavalry, under
their colonel marched into that coun-
try and when the commanding officers
fell by bullets from the guerillas, one
of our own, Sergeant Peter Bigstaff,
picked up the bludgeon and ordered
a forward march which was a tri-
umphant success. The Americans in
Mexico, tomorrow, win decorate these

people were held valid Tuesday by the

reaching opinion. The court dismissed
as entirely lacking in substance or
color Of merit" the contention that
such contracts violate the fifth, thir-
teenth and fourteenth amendments to
the constitution.
The opinion, read by Justice San
ford, upheld the bars raised by white
property owners in several sections OF
Washington against the invasion OF
colored people in their neighborhoods.
1t dismissed for want of jurisdiction an
appeal from a decision of District of
Columbia court which enjoined the
sale of property by white owner to
a Negro in view of the owners agree
ment with neighbors not to sell to col
ored people.
Entered Into Agreement
In 1921, according to the opinion,
the white owners of property on S
Street, between 18th street and New
Hampshire avenue in Washington exc
cuted an indenture binding themselves
not to sell, lease, or give their property
to Negroes for at least twenty-one
years.
In 1922 Mrs. Irene H. Corrigan, one
Of the group, contracted to sell house
in the block to Mrs. A. L. Curtis, a
Negro. Mrs. Corrigan's neighbors,

DEBTS,
GREEN URGES
By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH

Declaring that 1.-The breaker of
promises finds it increasingly diff
cult to make new agreements"
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
raised his voice against advocates
of debt cancellation both in United
States and abroad.
Writing in the American FEEDER
ationist Green expressed the belief
that recognition of obligations to
pay international debts is essential
to continuity of relationships.
"The basis for relationships be-
tween individuals and groups in
organized society Is agreement or
contract" Green said.
"Dependability of promise or con-
tract is necessarily of prime inn
portance for the individual in plann-
ing his life, as we'll as for organiza-
tions in planning policies. Without
reasonable certainty as to the fu-
ture fulfillment of promises there
can be no intelligent direction OF
development"
Green said that the fundamentals
Of international intercourse have
been followed out by the United
States in drawing up debt paying
agreements with nations abroad.
He remarked that should any Of
the terms of payment which have
been approved prove unreasonable,
proof of that would constitute rea'
son for reopening negotiations.
THE people of United States are
not ungenerous," Green said. I'VE
did our full part in the war because
we believed in the ideals it de-
Tended. though we had neither part
nor parcel in causing it.
yet there are those in Europe who
are deliberately fostering hate or
dislike of the United States and
who are Withholding from their
people the facts of terms of pay
ments negotiated with the United
States.
1T is hardly a prudent or a fore
sighted course that seeks to IN
flame the minds OF one country
against another. The demonstra-
ton OF the French mutilated was
a terrible reminder Of the costs OF
war but was a very unsportlng
way to argue the justice Of debt
payments"

HEAVY SELLING
HITS STOCKS
BY international News Service

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Stocks
drifted irregularly to a lower range
of prices in the early trading today
as the result of the prompt renewal
of professional selling. The bulls
scored an advantage in the un-
changed rediscount rate of the Bos-
ton Reserve Bank, but the bears
were sufficiently influential to stir
up more uneasiness relative to the
New York bank rate at the close
Of the market today.
The railroad stocks were generally
firm, under the lead Of the nickel
plate shares. Call money was un-
changed at 51a per cent, and COM
modities markets were slightly un-
settled.
Selling pressure was renewed on
the motor, Industrial and specially
stocks. Hudson Motor broke
through so for new loss of 2
points and Stewart Warner, Amer
lean Woolen, Moon Motors. Pack
ard and United States Rubber de-
clined. United States Steel de-
clined nearly two points on heavy
selling. Market movements were al,
most exclusively professional and
price changes therefore unimport-
ant.
Some effort to rally the oil stocks
was made by the bulls. General
Asphalt led the move, with a 3-point
rise to 841a with Texas Company
and Pan American participating.
As a whole, the group make little
response and a moderate reaction
set in,
