Today is the Day
By CLARK kINNAIRD
Copyright, 1896. for this Newspaper
by Central Press Association

Wilson muddied the water of Amer
lean diplomacy again by addressing
a note to the Allied governments ask
ing them to agree to the disarmament
of mcrchantships and to rules regulat-
ing submarine warfare. Secretary of
State Lansing, who drew up the note
had decided not to send 1t to the rep
resentatives of the Central Powers
because:
First, 1 was convinced Quoting a
Lansing letter to the PresidenO that
the German and Austrian government
would assent to the proposal, as it
only required them to conform to the
rules of international law, while it re-
quired their enemies TO modify pre-
sent practice which might be constru-
ed into the REIMBURSEMENT of legal
right; and second, If Germany and
Austria acccded promptly to the sug-
gestiOn, any demur by Great Britain,
France. Italy or Belgium would, if 1t
became known Gas it would through
the German or Austrian Embassiesl,
arouse adverse criticism In the press
Of this country and excite resentment
against the Entente powers, which
seems to be increasing from day to
day"
Wilson approved Of this violation
Of the spirit of American neutrality
about which he was still speaking
publicly with reverence. Lansing was
naturally aggrieved by the furore his
sensible suggestion aroused in Lon
don. When the responses had bounc-
ed back upon him, he wrote acidly to
Wilson:
q. These statements by Sir Ed
ward Grey evidence his great disap-
pointmcnt that we have failed to be
the instrument to save British COM
mercc from attack by Germany"
Some Of the statements made pre-
viously III this day-by-day account OF
the war concerning the II. S. Ambas-
sador i'll London, Page, have irked
readers. Well, in this same note.
Lansing told the President: II must
say l am very considerably disturbed
as to Mr.. Pages attitude OIL all sub
jects which in any way affect the
policies of Great Britain. He certain
ly is influenced very strongly by the
atmosphere in which he is. and ! fire.
qucntly doubt whether he urges the
cases involving American rights with
the force and vigOr which he should. >
But Page remained in his post.

Preferred Death
To Louisiana
Prison: Gets 1t

Huntsville, Tenn, Feb. 1, "a. N,
P.) Expressing his preference for
death in the electric chair to a 80
year term in a Louisiana prison,
Henry Carr, went to his death in
the electric chair Wednesday morn
ing at the State Prison, for the
murder of his wife.
Carr, just prior to the murder
of his wife, had escaped from a
Louisiana prison, where he was
serving a 50-year sentence for a
murder A few days after return
ing here, he killed his wife Odes-
81 in an alteration and was placed
under arrest. Fi%ngerprints taken
before the trial identified him as
the escaped convictand he was told
that Louisiana had a prior claim
on him.
Describing the conditions in the
Louisiana penal institution as
bestial and inhuman, Carr urged
local authorities to refuse the re-
quest for extradition and to pro-
coed with the trial. declaring 81
would rather die in the electric
chair than to have to go through
the hell at that prison." He was
given ris preferment and was
found guilty of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to death.

School Authorities
Bar LangstOn
Hughes In Gary

Gary, Ind, Feb. Because they
believed his communistic and ath.
eistic doctrines would be expound-
ed should he make his scheduled
appearance at the faculty forum
of the Roosevelt high school, Ne
gro school here, the school board
last Monday cancelled the engage
ment of Langston Hughes, noted
writer.
Hughes, lecturing in Chicago at
that time, was notified by wire
that he could not appear. The tele-
gram was sent by Theodore Ia
tum, Roosevelt principal, on ord
ers of the school board led by DR..
William A. Writ, superintendent.
DR.. Writ is nationally known as
an avowed Red-baiter through
his attacks two years ago on the
New Deal cabinet of President
whom he termed radicals seeking
to overthrow the government"
The local authorities declared they
would permit the use of school
buildings for no person who might
cause students to be dissatisfied
with the existing form of govern
ment.
Hughes, who has a play, "Mul-
Alto" on Broadway at the pres
ent time and is the author of four
published books, was barred a year
ago from appearing in the Los
Angeles Negro branch of the Y,
M. C. A. because of his "unchris-
tian' beliefs. Previously he was
deported from Japan because OF
his communistic theories.
