the Alpha Kappa sorority, says
that however unsatisfactory the
Negroes condition may be in this
democracy, 1t would mot be inn
proved under Nazi Or Fascist
domination" and if America Is In
volved in the war, then the Negro
should bear whatever obligations
his citizenship entails.
Our experiences in and after
the World war lead me TO con-
clude that our fate will be much
the same as Ut has in the past"
Miss Jackson AYERS. "Our loyalty
and services are expected. All
services in the army and navy
should be thrown open to Negro
Americans as they r to other
Americans. | believe the forma-
ton of a Negro division would
be a benefit. 1t would mean great
er opportunities for a grester
number of Negroes as leaders, as
we'll as offer more opportunities
for avancement from the ranks"
America can stay out of the
war, although 'the caprlces Incl
dent to war over there may force
Americas hand" thinks "Presi-
dens M. w. Dogan of Wiley col
lego Marshall, Tex, who also sees
a temporary boom aiding Negro
employment although working a
hardship on professional workers
and wage earners nov employed
through a rise in living costs
without a rise in pay.
"Tlhe present European crisis
can do America and the America
Negro no good unless the demo-
cracies over there quit playing
politics, and may do this country
untold harm by keeping its econo-
mic and political machinery keyed
to the wrong pitch for peaceful,
progressive performance and thus
dangerously delaying the solution
of our own maladjusted social ana
economic life" says DIR. Dogan.
AS for a separate army division,
he feels at would not be FEAST
BILE or desirable 10 place every IN
dividual Negro in a segregated
unit"
The Negro will enjoy increased
employment if the war drags on
in Europe, just as he did in the
last World War, believes Atty.
Theophilus NJ. Mann of Chicago,
former national head of Kappa
Alpha Psi fraternity. He says
that backward groups whether
they be white or black more than
likely will be handed In so-called
stevedore regiments and adds
ain the event of war, it is posi-
BILE that there will be sufficient
combat troops to make up a col
ored division, but it is doubtful
that organization of such a divl-
sion would fit in with the plans
which already have been outlined
by the war department for ma
tional defense"

II we will prepare now and begin
for such opportunities"
Believing that America will be
Drawn into the war should France
and England become serious jeo-
pardized, although feeling we
should remain out, is DIR. Thomas
L. Jones, president of Fisk univer-
sity, in Nashville.
Negroes should put forth every
effort to safeguard democracy in
in this country, and further the
allegiance of those in other ma
tions, for the position which the
Negro as a minority member in
this great democracy can win for
himself will be the most eloqoen5
testimony to the effectiveness of
our type of government for mino-
rities within nations and small
nations within an international
organization for peace, which
America should strive to form
from what is left of the nations
now at war;" says DR.. Jones.
One of the country's best known
business, R. r. Wright, sr., presi-
dent of Citizens and Southern
Bank and Trust Co, at Philadel-
phia, who hopes America will
not be drawn into the war, sees
two effects on the race. Since wal
makes prices rise and influences
profiteering WHICH proves more
dangerous to the poor and minor
classes than to others, the Euro
pean conflict will "no doubt at
feet the American adversely i'm
ply because he is a minority
group"
But on the other hand, because
the Negro is a minority group
and subject to discrimination
seven by our government" during
a war the race would receive
some consideration it would not
otherwise receive" says the bank
president. 1.-THE last wal brought
this about. | think the colored
nan received many things from
the unfortunate war situation
which he would have received
had the World var not occurred.
This is a sad commentary upon
condition in the American So
cial setup."
He is opposed to a separate
army diviion because, he points
out. Sin war the white man for
gets Just who his comrades are.
He calls on anybody to help. 1t
is after the battle is won or lost
that the white man discovers that
his comrades of war r not or
should not be his companions
when it comes to social and civil
rights. | cannot feel that the for
nation of a Negro division of the
army, particularly for the war;
would be able to function at all"

ATTORNEY A. B. MERCER FILES
AFFIDAVIT OF PREJUDICE

Last week, Probate Judge j. II
Lamneck of Tuscarawas county, in
the absence of Judge E. E. Lindsay,
of the common pleas court of that
county, granted temporary in
junction which ended a 'tax strike
at Newcornerstown. Immediately
following, property owners began
paying real estate taxes without
payment of flood assessments, the
same as they did here when Judge
Riecker granted a like temporary in
junction. A little later motion
was filed by the district conservancy
counsel, seeking to prevent Tuscar-
awas county residents from paying
real estate taxes without payment OF
flood control assessments.
A hearing on the motion to dis
solve the temporary injunction
granted by Judge Lamneck, was fix
ed for Monday Of this week. How
ever the hearing was postponed
when Atty A. B. Mercer of this
place, counsel for the tax payers, fill
ed an affidavit of prejudice against
Judge Lindsay.
It is stated that Judge Lindsay,
who is a member of the conservancy
district court, took exceptions to the
affidavit of prejudice, and asked
Chief Justice Carl " Weygandt of
the state supreme court to set a
date for hearing of the charges
contained in the affidavit.
