Taking as his subject, "All-Out
Defense Through Thrift and Con-

contributing toward winning the
war. He pointed out that the va

agricultural official declared that
the Negro is playing his part and
despite determinations in en-

cutions initiated by the Depart
ment Of Justice extend through
Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas, Geor-

BY order of Atty. Gen. Francis
Biddle, agents of the Justice De
rartment are pressing an inquiry
into the Sikeston, No. lynehing

Department intends to seek a Fed
eral grand jury indictment. Should
a Federal indictment in the Skies

It will mark the first time in the

that q lynching case mas peeh
brought into a Federal court.
The case grows out Of the iyn-

who vase accused Of assault on a
white woman, and was tortured
and killed by a mob in Sikeston
on Jan. "a, 1912. The assistance oil

1.-THE fatal shooting of Negro
army sergeant by city police
man in Little Rock, Ark, provides
additional proof, if more is need
ed, that the army is making a mis-
take in seding Negro troops into
a southern safe for training. On
ly two months ago 20 Negro sol
diers, almost all of them from the
northern states, were injured in a
riot in Alexandria, La. Last sum-
mer there were clashes between
Negro troops and white citizens
near Gurdon, Ark. These incidents
run all the way back to the
Brownsville, Tex, riot,
"The report on the Little Rock
shooting comes from the city po-
lieeman who killed the sergeant.
The victim is said to have Joined
Negro civilians in attempting to
release a comrade who had been
arrested by mill AIRY police and to
have used violence against the city
patrolman. No matter who started
the row, tie disorder was no iso-
lated incident, and the whole Sc
ries should demonstrate to the war
depar .ment that it is asking fol-
trouble when it persists in send
ing colored troops into a known
climate Of racial intolerance.
