don newspaper interview was . sudden slap in the face.' Popular reaction was such that Wilhelm abandoned a projected visit to Kie and Hamburg, lest he encounter hostile demonstrations.
 He was called a meddler, The British press mocked him as "the winner of the Boer war; Russian journals said he had dealt "tactleSSly and treacherously" with France and Russia; Italian commentators ac- cused him of attempting to embroil ! the whole world in war.
 Criticism reached such heights that the Emperor finally promised not to take future political actions except with the advice and consent of the Chancellor
 SILVER JUBILEE
 In 1913 war talk hummed In Europe, for no apparently signifi- cant reason, aside from distrust Of Germany's policies and sabrerattling speeches by the Kaiser. Yet, in that year. when he celebrated his silver jubilee, he asserted he had only two aims avoidance of armed conflict and the advancement of his peo- ple's welfare He was greeted by some as the preServer of peace ln Europe
 SARAJEVO
 The assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne at Sarajevo in July 1914, seemingly did not impress Wilhelm as serious. He went on a yachting trip to the Baltic, con- vinced there would be no inter- national complications. When he came back Austria and Serbia were at war: Russia was mobilizing. He sent a personal telegraphic appeal to the Czar; exchanged messages with his cousin, King George o1 England; advised Austria to accept British mediation. Nothing devel- oped The Kaiser sent a 12-houI ultinlatum to St. Petersburg.
 THE WORLD WAR
 On August 1, Germany declared war on Russia; general mobilization was ordered. In the next ten days as Commander in- Chief, he sent troops to east and west; personally visited the battle fronts, made the Crown Prince normal head of the army. As his troops overran Bel gium. swept almost to Paris, drove the Russians from East Prussia and crushed Rumania, he exulted and showered decorations on his soldiers

May His Tribe Increase
The office girl at the desk in
Halle @. Brown got the surprise
of her life when J. A. Smith walked
in the office one day last week and
said, 81 came in to double my
pledge. My wife and I felt that
we can spare more at this time
and it is for the future as well as
the present we are building so
please raise our pledge to $500 on
the new gymnasium" Surprise
of surprises he laid the cash on the
counter and a receipt in full was
made out to Mr.. and Mrs. J. A.
Smith. "May His Tribe Increase"
Edwin Salter today stated that
there are still pledges on which no
payments have been made to date.
He stated that payments are again
due on the quarterly basis. 1t is
the hope of the finance committee,
says Mr.. Salter, that at the dedi-
cation of the new building we shall
be able to include your name in
the list of paid subscribers or the
list of those whose payments are
I'D to date at the time of the dedi-
cation.
The Building Committee at the
time of the dedication wish to pre-
sent to the people of st. Paul a
complete modern gymnasium fully
equipped with screens. portable
seats, lockers, etc. To do this
pledges must be paid better than
they are at present. However, this
week the picture was a bit more
encouraging than heretofore.
Mrs. Mable Harris name has
been added to the collectors list.
Pledges can be paid to her. Off
cial receipts are sent to each sub
scriber from the house.
Pledges paid in full since last
week are as follows: Mr.. and Mrs.
J. A. Smith, $25; Mrs. S. Garrett,
So; Miss Berlinda Washington, So.
Those who have paid on pledges
since last week: Mr.. Rufus Hodges,
$24, and Mr.. and Mrs. L. P. Moore,
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Walker, Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Maddox, all $40; Mr..
M. Ellis, SIS.
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Walker

tion. Why? Simply because
we, the Negro, have remained poor
in material things and have been
content to depend upon others to
provide US with employment and
security.
We have left Negro youth the
job of building almost from the
bottom because little foundation
has been laid by US during the last
century. The young Negro gradu-
ate coming out of school today has
much work to do, and so little to
encourage him to go ahead.
Although he could not be blamed
if he played, let US hope he will
choose to work and leave unto his
children a greater heritage than
that we bequeath him.

Spring has arrived in all its glory,
Bringing a freshness in the air.
Many are the tasks to be done,
Transferring of new names to

Is in itself a large job,
A lot of men into work it presses.
Many are the conveyances

The Great Human
Need

People Of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient
amount of it for the greatest or
most abundant health.
The best and the cheapest source
Of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food,
the greater the need for more of
dairy products is the regular every.
day diet of all of US.
Fresh fluid pasteurized milk
daily in some form should be used,
either as a beverage or in cooked
food.

OMMEN CEMEN is just
around the corner. Soon the great
verbal barrage will begin. Thou
sands of young men and women,
eager, earnest and ambitious, will
be bombarded with long speeches
full of sound and fury signifying
little or nothing. =. The air will
vibrate and platforms will be
strewn with morals, conclusions
and other over-ripe fruits that
have been shaken from the tree of
wisdom since the days of the first
commencement.
Negro graduates will receive
their share of these sermons and
addresses. They will be preached
to, by full-throated orators, who
will give the impression that the
world is waiting with bated breath
and open arms, ready to reward
them according to their worth and
ability, which is not true. .. "The
color of your skin has nothing to
do with it," they will be told, eff
you are prepared, the world will
make beaten path to your door"
This is not true. "The world is
waiting for you, the harvest is
abundant, the laborers are few
these orators will declare. But
these are only half truths. The
whole truth will not be told on
Commencement Day. For only
those who can be trusted to say the
fright thing" will be invited to
speak to graduating youth.
THE GENERAL TREND of the
sermonizing will be, eve oldsters
have given you youngsters a
chance to drink from the fountain
of wisdom, now how are you going
to repay us? What are you going
to give US in return for this world
we are turning you out in? We've
been doing the job of running
things a long time. -. : While you
played and studied, we worked.
You tackle things now. Wiring
victory from defeat. 'Atta
boy . You can do it. ). What
do you say?"
Baloney! That is what I
would say were l a youngster COM
ing out of school in 1889. "You
old folks stay on the job" Because
of your selfishness, laziness and
stupidity, you've gotten things in
an awful fix. = Don't try to
dump the load on me. Get busy
yourself and do something about
the mess we are in. It won't hurt
you to carry things a while longer.
After a bit, I will jump in and
help, but just now don't bother me
for I am going to kick up my heels
and play"
SUCH AN ANSWER from the
youngsters might serve to shock US
oldsters into a true sense of our
responsibility to Negro youth. If
Negro youth would thumb it's nose
at US and tell us to Ego whistle up
a stump" we might begin to real
ize how far short we have fallen
from the high mark set by our
fathers. Our fathers shortly after
slavery gave a better account of
their time, talents and opportuni-
ties than we in the last thirty years
have given of ours.
SANDS OF NEGRO
GRADUATES this year will face
the world. The young people of no
other group have so much work
to do as they. They must hurdle
every barrier placed in the path
of all youth then the addition
al barrier of being a Negro.
They must fight for place to
stand in the social. economic and
civil life of the Republic although
it is guaranteed to them, as it is

COPY OF LETTER SENT TIC
GOV. HAROLD STASSEN

915 Aldrich Ave. N,
Minneapolis, Mimi,
April 4. 1941.
Honorable Harold E. Stassen,
Governor of Minnesota,
State Capitol,
st. Paul, MINI.
Dear Governor:
The members of Ward Two of
the Sumner Field Housing Project
at its regular meeting expressed
deep concern and disappointment
over the treatment your office has
given the Minnesota Negro Defense
Committee in it's righteous and
courageous effort to obtain a
square deal for the Negro citizens
of Minnesota. Following this dis
cussion unanimous vote was re-
corded in favor of letter being
sent you that our position in this
matter would be known.
AS you know, Honorable Gov
ernor, this committee represents a
group of citizens whose loyalty and
patriotism is beyond question by
any one and has shown to the
world the meaning of true Ameri-
canism.
We sincerely regret that you saw
fit to appoint a special committee
to STUDY" this fine group of
citizens, instead of recognizing
this defense committee whose only
desire and program is to join with
other loyal groups to make our
state real working democracy.
We are very much concerned
over the plan you must eventually
adopt relative to the Minnesota
Home Defense Forces and the
Negro citizen. Our members, like
all other Americans, will be salts
fed with nothing less than the Con-
stitution provides, and we feel that
it is our right to expect you, the
governor of this great state, to see
that the Negro citizen is given full
equality under the law.
Respectfully yours,
Mrs. Mary Crump,
Chairman of Ward Two.
