"No peace (hat satisfies Germany
in any degree can ever satisfy us.
? It cannot lie a negotiated peace. It
must be si dictated peace, and we
and our allies must dictato it. The
victory bringing such a peaeo must,
be won inside, not on (si do (lie Ger

"In no other way can we secure '

In no other way can we justify the

the obstacles must alike be crushed
and overridden.

"This purpose can be accomplished
Wo shall do it but we must be above

all suggestions of negotiations; deaf
to every voice which would 'divert
Us from tho path; deaf alike to tho

"When Germany is beaten to hor

NF. T SPREAD AROUND RAIDEH.
Washington, August 22. ? Na\ y
Department officials tonight confi
dently awaited a wireless despatch
telling of the destruction of tho traw
lor Triumph. Every precaution has
boon taken, it was said, to prevent
tho raider slipping through the lino
stretched around the fishing region.
The (lopnrtmont, through Admiral
Benson, acting Secretary, roquesto'd
newspapers to make no mention of
* tho typo of craft being employed in
the hunt. It. was said, however, that
thoso aro numerous and swift enough
to make tho eventual apprehension
of tho converted fishing vessel abso
lutely certain unless tho enemy crow
destroys the ship or attempts to on
Igago one of tho pursuers in unequal
combat.
Officials here oxpreosod the belief
tonight (hut tlio German commnudor
realized tlio lit (or hopelessness of his
now associate continuing operations
l'or moro than twenty-four liours.
, Soma considered that u rendezvous
wilh (he suhinarino had been ar* '
ranged by (he German crew of (lie*
I Triumph, after which (he Triumph
i would he sunk so that the patrol llo
'tillas would llnd it necessary to con i
tinue their hunt for several* days. '
?* The (ionium o Ulcers may seek to -(
hold a largo American flotilla along
the Grand Hanks, thus lessening the
strength of (ho coast guard at other
points. The answer mado to this '
possibility is (hat adequate forces are ,
now in service at every vital point
j to protect all ships.
"The department has taken steps'
to protect lishing on the Grand Hanks
and to counteract tlio effects of (his
' raid," Admiral Benson said. The
! maximum military advantage tho
. Germans can hope to obtain," ho ad- J
dod, "was (he depletion of the supply
of canned lish for tho army." j
Admiral Benson refused to placo
much credence in the declaration
made by the submarine commander,
to the captain of the Triumph that
six U-boats are operating in Amor
lean waters. Very careful chocking
of all information regarding the
activities of theso craft has con

BOSS TO (BIO rilUOD.
Longvicw, Texas, August 14, 191S.
i
? Special to The Observer
Among the many industries in ibis'
progressive city is the Graham Mfg. i
Co., which employs almost 100 persons
oi color. It seems from best accounts';
that o.iie of the newly hired hands from '
the country, who did not move fast j
enough to satisfy tho mind of one of
the "straw bosses, " that this ' straw
boss" raised his "hind leg" and nppli
od it to "the 'gable end" of tlio colored
man's pantst and to proceed to hand
him his time. The mater became no is
ed over the plant and all of the men
decided at once to quit worjt unless the
j ".straw boss." was reprimanded in ,
some way or pledged to not have this
j happen again. The matter was report
ed to the president of the plant and
lie told them to return to work and
that this would not happen any more.
The men went to work until noon
but continued to brood over the
rage, and when die hour came to ho
gin the evening tour of duty the blow
of the whistle failed to move 95 col
ored employees. The president waited
for nearly fifty minnles after time
and finally went to where tho men
were and asked what the trouble was.
The men replied that they had con
eluded to not return to work unless j
tho "straw^ boss'" was fired. After,
some parleying the manager told them J
that (heir demands would be acceded;
to, whereupon tho men returned to j
(work. Sure enough the offender has
| been let out and at last accounts was!
I seen trying to get. a job at the Kelly)
tfoundry. The lesson learned from this
[incident teaches what can and will
bo accomplished througTf organiza
timi. What a mighty power for tlio
good of all concerned, the colored man
would ho if organized in the common
branches of industries! The place hold
by that intruding "straw uoss" is
now held by a man of color. It is well
known thai there exists an idea that
tile colored man must be curtailed
in his development and held within
certain bonds. In sumo, regions this
is a popular theory in dealing wiili
h.in. This Is In direct opposition to
the laws of nature and is destined to
failure no matter by whom attempted.
In I he very economy of things no race
can set arbitrary boundaries to the
development of any race and say to
such under inexorable edict: "Thus
far shalt thou go and 110 farther."
An effort like this will carry its own
deft at and failure. Questions like this
must be met Ike all others and settled
011 their merits. No harsh policy and
Unjust treatment will avail. Truly
the race situation in the South is not
one which calls for the exerclso of
any policy which approaches persecu
lion .
Unjust treatment and rank discriml
nation will not do to get the best
results. Men who employ largo liuin
hers of men of color must learn to'
treat the men fairly. No setting of
boundaries and attempting to hedge
them about with arbitrary rules of
?(iircumstanc.es under a government
as flexible as cur system is will ever
accomplish" the ends sought. For tho
worthy and superior colored man will
go beyond them and find a niche of
his own making wbero he will estab
lish himself and command respect. '
We only ask for the exercise of simple
justice in a freo government and fftr
the consideration justly duo us. If
any bugbear that has ever risen in
the brain of unthonghful white men
had ever appeared there would be reas
011 to fear, but it is a Well establish
cd fact "that not one predlcTTori that
I10 has made about the race has ever
come true.
What a wonderful habitat this
world would bo if tho plans of Him
who fashioned it were carried out by
men as intended from the beginning.
The bugbear of social equality, race ,
domination, race extinction etc., have
all faded into I he misty past becausel
such were not enter tainod by tho
thoughtful men of neither race. |
For a moment forecasting the future 1
it requires 110 philosopher with micro
scopic rhnrpslghtcdncss nor seer with 1
acme discrimination to discover that!
toward which t.'.c present will lead. 1
If we have succeeded undor condl-- }
lions sc unfavorable by roason of his
ambition lo succeed his darkest days!
are behind, for dimly above tho liori
zon the "morning light begins to 1
break.'" j
