TELLS NEGROES THAT i
NO RIOTS OCCURRED'
. —s:
A white man, presumably a labor (
agent working ambng the negroes in (
this section in an effort to induce them ]
to migrate to the northern states on ,
the promise of high wages and better (
living conditions, has been addressing (
meetings in various local colored (
churches, denying the newspaper re
ports of race riots in East St. Louis, (
111., Cincinnati, Ohio, and other cities (
where serious outbreaks have occur- ,
red on account of the influx of South- j
ern negroes. This white man, it is un- (
derstood, has been -working among the
r.egroes of this vicinity, sending them
north on jrayment of fees which bring (
him in a tidy revenue through his (
false promises to would-be emigrants. ,
The occurrence of riots in the north
ern cities caused by the arrival of
hosts of negroes from the South, has
been chronicled in the newspapers anil
has discouraged negroes from making
the trip as contemplated. The labor
agent, fearing a curtailment of his in.
come, is denying these reports and en
deavoring to influence the negroes to
continue their exodus to the north. The
aiJhorities are working on the case.
GERMAN SOLDIERS
HELD BY_THREATS
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, June
2—One of the “imperative military nec
essities” for the incredible devastation
and destruction being wrought by the
Germans along the pathway of their re
treat in France is to convince the Ger
man soldiers themselves that if they
cither desert or surrender to the
I French they will be Instantly shot in
reprisal.
German soldiers now being taken
prisoners by the French along the en
tire front between the Aisne and Saint
Quentin declare without exception to
i their captors that they realize they are
g>ing to be shot, and are quite prepared
for it.
While the Germans manifestly have
various aims in view in their system
atic policy of reducing every inch of
French soil occupied by them to a
wasteless desert, the French military
authorities have been able to establish
definitely from German prisoners cap
tured that not the least of these ol>
jects is to inject the morale of des
peration into the German army.
The latter are told not only that
they will be instantly killed if they
fall into the hands of the French, but
that unless they fight to the death in
an effort to keep the Allied troops
from reaching German soil, their own
homes, farms and villages will quite
naturally suffer the same fate byway
of reprisal that they have inflicted on
the homes, farms and villages of
France.
The need of desperate measures on
the part of the German military au
thorities to keep their troops from
surrendering on every possible occas
ion has for a long time past been fully
established. One of the most strik- i

„ "The Price She Paid” „
A Splendid Picturization of the Great American Novel by David Graham Phillips
Presenting This Tremendously Popular Star in Her Supreme Achievement
ir.g evidences of this were the orders
of Hindenburg himself, issued after
the French attacks at Verdun last No
vember and December. The prison
ers in these two affairs alone totalled
nearly 20,000.
Hindenburg in his orders to his gen
erals, copies of which have since fal
len into the hands of, the French
scathed in merciless terms the lack
of morale on the part of the German
troops which permitted them to sur
render by thousands without the
slightest resistance. Imperative orders
that all responsible officers take im
mediate steps to overcome this condi
tion, were given.
Since then, however, this tendency
of the Germans to surrender on every
possible occasion has increased so
steadily that Hindenburg himself has
been forced to take heroic measures to
overcome it.
German soldiers now being taken
prisoners, as well as other sources
confirm the fact that it was Hinden
burg who conceived the idea for the
wholesale devastation of all territory
which the Germans are forced to
abandon. It is under his orders that
all German regiments now falling back
on the western front have regularly
appointed crews whose sole business
it is to destroy all property and to
leave every inch of the ground that
gees back into the hands of the French
a veritable desert.
These same sources confirm likewise
that one of Hindenburg’s principal ob
jects in this is to place the entire Ger
man army now on the west in a posi
tion where it will realize that it is
better to die fighting than to surren.
der, and where it will realize that only
fighting to the last will save their*
own homes from the same fate they
have inflicted on France.

“LIBERTY BONDS VERSUS

ATLANTA. Ga„ June 2.—A force of
100 picked salesmen representing
twenty different lines of business last
night launched an active campaign for
the sale of Liberty Bonds in the city

000.
Five of the best salesmen in each
lire will be selected by a committee of
the leading business men engaged in
that line, and when they get through
with Atlanta there will be mighty lit

Atlanta newspapers are now con
ducting a contest for a slogan to be
