Her aim is to find scape-goats on

much because they led France into
war, as because they failed to

Whatever else it represents in

exercising a shadowy sovereignty
over unoccupied France is a re.

WATCH FOR PLANES
Diplomatic Lookouts Also
To Be Stationed On St.
Pierre-M iquelon
AIR STEPPING STONE
BY MAX BOYD

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.
-R- Diplomatic lookouts
for the United States govern
ment will be established soon
at Dakar, French West Afri-
ca, a jumping off place. for
planes flying from Europe to
South America, and at st.
Pierre-M iquelon, French pos
session off the coast of Can
ada.
This was disclosed today in
"a State department announce
ment of changes ordered re-
Gently in the foreign service.
The announcement said
that the American consulate
lat Dakar, which was closed
in 1881 as part of an economy
drive, would be reopened as
soon as Thomas C. WATSON,
of Newark, N. j., could ar
rive from Vigo, Spain, to
take charge.
To Be Reopened
Likewise, it was said, the con-
sulate at St. Pierre Miquelon,
which was closed only last Janu-
airy for lack of business, would be
reopened as quickly as Maurice
Pasquet of New York r e a C h e d
there from Dairen, Manchuria, he
has been vice consul.
Dakar is the nearest point on
the African coast to South Ameri-
ca. Planes of the French trans
Atlantic air service, now inopera-
tive, normally hop off there for
South America.
st. Pierre Miquelon, a group OF
islands south of New Foundland,
was kept busy watching their
movements for clues to rum run
ners.
The reopening of consulates in
this French possession and at Da-
kar fits into a pattern which has
been developing ever since the
Germans invaded Denmark.
Late in April, this government
established a consulate in Iceland,
which has since taken unto its
own government-for the duration
of the German occupation of Den.
ing Iceland which ordinarily are
exercised by the Danish king.
In May, the state department
sent a consul to Greenland, Danish
colony in the North Atlantic and
a possible stepping stone to the
Americas for any power seeking
to attack this country by air.
Recently Reopened
Another consulate has been re-
opened recently at Martinique, a
French island in the Caribbean,
where trouble has been threaten
ing over a cargo of American
made planes aboard the French
aircraft carrier Bearn. British war
ships have been reported main
tanning a watch to see that the
carrier did not leave Martinique.
The other consulate was estab-
lished July % at Georgetown, Brit
ish Guiana, in South America. A
consular agent was already sta
toned in neighboring Dutch Gui-
ana. 2

Also FIuys Brutality

Capitalization of disciplinary au-
thority in the superintendent of
police as steps to curb alleged
brutality to colored people was urged
last night by DR.. C. Herbert Mar
, shall, jr., president of the Washing
ton Branch of the National AsSocia-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People.
Addressing mass meeting at
Mount Lebanon Church, one of a
series being held to protest alleged
police brutality, DR.. Marshall advo-
Gated that the colored people stick
>together" for better understanding
and for education.
He urged that they back the efforts
OF committee which has approach
ed Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, on the subject.
The committee; he said. was trying
to arrive at an intelligent solution
OF the problem through education
Capitalization of disciplinary au-
thorlty was a major point in his
address, because, he said, in the past
protests have been shunted from
Maj. Brown to the Commissioners
and back again without visible re-
suits.
The present training of police, he
went on. fails to go into social prob
lens and to educate the officers
along these lines. With better social
training, he also advocated more
colored officers, because they are
not afraid of the so-called bad ele-
ment among the colored people"
The Rev. Frank w. Alstork, pastor
of the Union Wesley A. M. E. Zion
Church, told the audience that,
while attempting to reduce police
brutality, we should at the same
time try to get more of our people
to obey the law"

. STAMP NEWS

A MEXICAN education owes a A great debt to Charles w. Eliot, pictured above on the 3-cent pur-. pie stamp of the educators group of the U. s. Famous Americans series. The Eliot stamp will be placed on frst-day sale at Cam bridge, Mass, March 28.
 After graduating from Harvard in 1853, Eliot taught mathematics and chemistry there for 10 years, then went to Europe to study chemistry and educational sys- tems. In 1869 he became presi- dent of Harvard, held that post for 40 years. He introduced the first written examination, and the elective system, giving students a choice of subjects. He also re- formed standards for medical and law schools. From 1909 until his death in 1926 he devoted his at tention to the cause of interna- tional peace.
