Germany menaces Europe in
general and France in particular.
I have said, and I repeat, that the
days of the Emperor are number

his reign, I do not say the years
of his life.
1.-TWO distinct visions pursue
me. I see Germany which is torn
asunder, South against South,
North against North. 1t is the re-
volutionary movement, popular
fury against the military aristo-
cracy. And at the same time in
spite of all these troubles, resis-
ence continues or at least endea-
vors to continue, parodying the
France of the past, even to its
great Revolution. Hostages, mas

there and, in pite of all this, the
enemy has crossed the frontiers,

Claim Building Will Not Fit The
Specifications Of u. S. Government

In passing an ordinance setting
aside $4,000 for the use of the
Municipal War Commission to
equip a YMCA building at 23rd
and East Olive for the use of Ne
gro troops visiting our city, has
been brought to the attention of
this post.
AS a service organization, in
terested and engaged for the past
20 years in welfare work for SOL
diers and sailors, their families,
widows and children, we want to
express to the Council our appre-
citation and gratitude for their in
terest in helping to make the visits
of soldiers and sailors to our city
a most pleasant one.
We realize, however, that the
hasty and informal action to which
the Council has committed itself
in this particular matter, is not
likely to obtain the best results.
We therefore, in the interest of
morale and unified civilian coop
GRAFTON, feel it our duty to point
out of the Council some mistakes
that may prove to be waste of
taxpayers money.
First, the building selected and
the $4,000 to be used for the pur-
pose of remodeling, will not pro-
vide shelter and proper recreation

Just To Remind You
THIS Is TREASON
BY e. 1. Robinson

THIS is TREASON
Newly awakened public opinion is not hesitant in
properly characezng the bgoy and intolerance of those

Southerner Jonathan Daniels newly appointed Assistant
Director of the Office of Civilian Defense who asserted that
intolerance is treason He called for the opening of in
dusry doors to all and branches of American
power Once intolerance may have seemed to be mper
sonal thing he said in address before the Council Against
Intolerance In America but where intolerance keeps
from jobsholds back people from participation in the
who indulge in it not ndugng In personal
vice, they committing public crme-crme, which,

When the Negroes entered the

Morris Field, assistant director

Northwest Enterprise:


In commenting on this episode,
Henry A. Twaite, Commander of
Lewis Ford Post said: In this
grim coflict, thousands of young
men are going to give their lives
that America might survive. To
learn that a few perhaps we'll
intentioned, but sadly misinformed
citizens, should take it upon them
selves to make restrictive social
arrangements for part of our
Army and Navy, is tragic indeed.
In some sections, where mob
rule and violent race prejudice
are substituted for civilized and or
derby process, such an expedient
could be tolerated for the sake of
unity. But in a state where laws
and public opinion condemn jim
crowism, what logical excuse can
be offered for such a sacrifice?
AS veteran organization, con-
cerned in The welfare and happi-
ness of all soldiers and sailors, we
are determined to see that none
is wronged. The day when a few
can bargain and impose their will
on community has passed.
