This may be news to the Herald’s readers, but th» average observer has been aware or this fact for some t’me. -g - Oapt. J. K. Skipwith claimed that the bodies found In Lake La Fourclie, near Mer Rouge could not have been in the water as long as was claimed for the reason that flesh eating turtles and the like infested and lived In tho water there. Perhaps, this was why the bodies were thrown Into the Lake, but being weighted down whs below the lanes traversed by these reptiles Then again it may be that God had something to do with the matter. -g Dr. Kelly Miller has issued a call for .a conference of colored leaders to consider present day conditions. We are of the opinion that much good would result from a swapping of ideas by men of the Kelly Miller type. It is plainly evident that a critical condi tion exists. The consensus of opinion is tlu„t step should be taken to husbands our interests and to issue an addreba j to the country and the world empha-1 sizing in detail the position o£ the col-j ored people of this country. _' ^_ The “Battling Silki" has been di3-! qualified in France and an attempt; h-;u> beon mude to take from him the' title of “The Heavyweight Champion ot Furopf.’’ If he does not possess that title, no one else is in possession of it 'inasmuch as Georges Carpentier lost it. The latter now insists that he will light the black champion again, out side of the regular boxing syndicate. This is to the credit of the French ex eliumpion. He is devoid of race preju dice and he seems to b£ of a type of the human race, who Is entitled to sympathy and recognition. -y The Police Department of this city has reached a degree of efficiency, which compares favorably with the Police Departments of any other city lln this country. A type of young men has been secured, which speaks well for the Appointing power. A prisoner, who acts considerately is treated the same way and we no longer hear about unmerciful clubbings and the untime ly death of prisoners alt the hands «f representatives of the Police Depart ment. As for the Traffic Department, it has proven its worth and the man ner In w>hddh automobillsts are now handled has none of the "rough edge’* of other days. It is unfortunate that a larger Increase in the appropriations will not permit an increase of the sal aries of all the officers and men of th^s Department. 1 ‘ j THE TROUBLE IN EUROPE, j What does all of this agitation in Europe mean? Why is France invad ing the Ruhr section of Germany ? These questions will naturally present themselves to the average reader of the daily newspapers. When Germany suffered defeat as the result of the in tervention of the United States of America and the Versailles Treaty was the result, the Allies specified the Rfrine section as that part of Germany to be held by the Alkies as a guaran tee for the observance oT the specifi cations tn the Treaty. In the mean ilrae, Germany was required under the reparations agreement to furnish so many millions of tons of coal to Franc®. When Germany had her own Indus trial plants to supply, she found out that It was impossible to comply witb tn s agreement and Germany wag de clared to be In default in her delivorv of lumber. Germany had always con tended that the provisions of the Ver sailles Treaty were too drastic an 1 that she would not be able to comply wjth the terms. Premier after Premier resigned and others took up the task, only to fail. Then the amount of gold to pay the Allies Income a question and Germany asked for a longer time. This was known as n moratorium. English experts came to the conclu sion that Germany was doing all that she could do, and stood In favor of leniency, but France Insisted that Oer. many should be made to pay. In the contests* Belgium and Italy sided with France and Great Britain and the United Staten, the latter unofficially represented stood together. Germany contended that the Allies must ail agree in order for coercion to be adopt ed. France contended that she would pro ceed alone if necessary and set a date for the further invasion of the Ruhr section, the centre of Germany’s Indus trial plants, in this connection Belgian troops deckled to co-operate with her. In the meantime, President Harding, under Instructions of the United States Senate decided to order ihi [ American troops home, thus voicing the disapproval of the action of Franco and Belgium. France marched into the Ruhr and the German Government announce'I that it would not pay any further in demnity or reparations until th-j French and Belgian troops were with drawn. This act affects all of the other Allies and the situation is acuto. France.needs coal and in order to ob tain it will be required to import French miners to do the work. In the meantime, the 45,000 French troops are costing the French Government enormous sums and the indications are that the oivillan population will prove to be a handicap in this most embarrassing situation. Germans claim that while they can not fight they will Impose passive re sistance. This htaa been a most embar rassing situation. The final outcome of the situation Is watched with inter est. I---— DR. HARVEY JOHNSON DEAD. 1 ! When Rev. Harvey Johnson, D. D . pastor of the Union Baptist Church of Baltimore, Md. passed away, Friday. January 12th. 1923, one of the ablest pulpit divines in this country Invaded the precincts of the Great Beyond. He was an authority on historical matters, especially those relating to the Ethio pian and he had positive views of the right kind upon all fundamental ques tions. His word was his bond and his conception of duty was on the highest order. We sympathize with i}is family and with his Church and with his denomi nation. As for him, he needs no sym pathy. He is better off. With the chang ing scenes in this life, the apparent success lor the time being of wrong over right, he evidently suffered untold anguish. He represented tile Maaipv and was a tower of strength during his day and generation. Too few lead ers of his type remain and we can ill afford to spare him at this time. It is with genuine grief that we record his going, but God doetlh all things well. ♦ ANTI-KU KLUX BILL FACES BIG OPPOSITION IN N. CAROLINA. (Pre*t«n Nowa Service) Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 19.—The strong 1 opposition in the committee on Judi ciary of the Senate to the Bagget hill aimed at the Ku Klux Klan in this state which makes it a felony punisl* able by imprisonment for any person to appear off his premises disguised so as to conceal his identity, caused the measure to be referred to a sub committee and a public hearing on the bill set for the Senate chamber at & o'clock Thursday afternoon. It is said that the Bagget bill has the support of the leading white citi zens from all parts of the state and that scores of them have Indicated that they will be on hand to defend the measure at the public hearing. Sien ator Squires announced to the senate that the measure would be opposed. The Bagget bill which excepts from Its provisions persons attending hallow ‘een parties and properly conducted masquerades and minors under 18 years of ageu is one of the two bills against the klan now pending in the general assembly. The other which was introduced in the House of Repre sentatives by Representative Milliken of Union, provides for the registration of the membership of all secret socie ties.

WHITE WOMAN DEA~>; COLORED MAN ARRESTED. fPrerton New* Service) Columbia. 8. C.. Jan. 17.—The mys terious death of a white woman ai Olnr, a small town near here, caused the arrest of Thomas Johnston as a j suspect. He was lodged in Jail last Wednesday morning and that night a mol) of white men took him from the jail and carried him to a small thick et with the usual intent of making n pendulum of him by tying a slip-noose around his neck and allowing his body to swing in the air from the end of the suspended rope. But somehow their conscience would not allow them to carry out their premeditated plan and they simply "talked and talked" to Johnston and then turned him over to the oth'’ers. Tt is believed Johnston 1 will await trial In connection with the murder of the woman at the special term of court at Jframbertf. which will convene shortly. gggggggSgggggg-’B-- -■ ■ DONATIONS TO TUB 8AKAH O.

HELP SHORTAGE DUE TO DRY LAW, CLAIMED. iPnttoo Newt Service) Washington, D. C., Jan. 18.—Rich white women of this city can attribute no other reason for tbe out#arrt signs of wealth among Negroes than that they have taken to the profession of bootlegging instead of washing an 1 ironing. According to a newspaper arti cle in the local white papers the short age of Negro domestic help Is due to the Volstead law. The papers say: "This city, especially, in official cir cles and more especially In Southern official circles has always depend ed on female Negro help to keep homes cleaned and meals cooked and served and laundry neatly done up and children cared for. Before the pa* sage of the Volstead Act there was a surplus of female Negro help.”’ It Is said that the wife of a southern senator remarked that, "I oan't under stand why this nigger woman won t work anymore. Why erstwhile laun dresses. nmids, eooks^ attired in tha brightiost rainbow colors are riding up and down Pennsylvania avenue la high priced automobiles casting scorn ful glances as they pass former em ployers. They simply scorn work. The reason for this sudden show of wealth is nothing less than bootlegging." CONVICTED OP PASSING RAISED HIMA OFEIts TO PAY FINE WITH ONE. (Preston News Service.)
