PRESIDENT ASSAILED BY |
MERCHANTS OK HERMANYI
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 20.—Accord
ing to advices received here from
Bremen, President Wilson’s reply to
Pope Benedict's peace proposal was
the occasion of a demonstration on
the Bourse there yesterday. After a
speech by Herr Fabrius, president of
the chamber of commerce it was re
solved to send the following to the
emperor:
‘‘Bremen merchants raise an indig
nant protest aganst President Wil
son's hypocritical reply to the pope,
in which he professes to combat the
German government in order to drive
the American people, with whom Ger
many never had a quarrel, into a war
which they reject.
“In this hour Bremen merchants!
pledge themselves to unalterable al-l
legtance to your majesty and unalter
able confidence and belief in a victor
ious outcome of this righteous war
of defense.”
In his speech President Fabrius
said no other enemy utterances had
evoked such wrath in every German
heart as President Wilson’s note, in
which the most sacred rights of the
Gerulan nation were assailed.
A demonstration also was held on
the Hamburg Bourse, where resolu
tions similar to those adopted in Bre
men were passed.

SEPARATE UNITS OF
BLACKS ARE PLANNED
WASHINGTON, D. C., 8ept. 20.—
Negro troops Of the national army
will be organized In separate units as
Is done In the regular army, and so
far as possible will be trained In the
states where they are raised. The call
for drafted negroes to mobilise at
their camps will be postponed to al
low officers of the camp to arrange
for the organization of these separ
ate units.
Both white and negro men of the
selective forces will be given an op
portunity to volunteer to battalions
for aerrioe on the line of communica
tion, their work being military but
not combatant. There also will be,
however, negro fighting regiments of
the national army, as there are of the
regulars and national guard.
Of the 687.000 men called for as
the first increment of the national
army, it is estimated that approximat
ely 70,000 will be negroes.
In all, the army in France will
need, it has been estimated, more
than 100,000 men behind the lines
for use along the roads and railways
or on other special work. A great
many battalions of both white and
negro troops will be necessary for
those purposes and the war depart
ment feels certain that many of the
negroes of the selective draft forces
will volunteer for this duty, in order
to be sent quickly to France.
CONVICTS RIOT IN
PRISON AT JOLIET
JOLIET, III., Sept. 20.—In a riot
in the. state prison here today one
convict was shot and three guards
stabbed.
The rioters numbered about fifty,
of whom fifteen were ringleaders in
the riots of two months ago. The
fifteen, led by Wiemand, had been in
solitary confinement up to two weeks
ago, when Warden Murphy restored
them to their former status as con
victs.
They were still unruly and inclin
ed to growl at the restrictions on
privileges instituted by the new war
den in an attempt to restore a disci
pline which had been sadly demoral
ized by “too much honor system."
Among the privileges enjoyed by
the convicts was an almost unlimited
correspondence with sentimental wo
men, many of whose letters were
made public during an Investigation
last summer.
The first trouble occurred yester
day. At breakfast call about twenty
of the convicts broke from the line
and one, seizing a spade, is said to
have threatened one of the guards.
The latter, after ordering the convict
to drop the weapon shot him. Ten
convicts were placed in solitary con
finement.
This morning at the same hour the
trouble broke out anew. The emer
gency whistle sounded and in the me
lee which followed between the
guards and about fifty convicts, thi^[*
of the guards were stabbed.
The guards clubbed their riflles and
apparently succeeded in restoring or
der.
