BANDS OF ARMED GERMANS ENTER BRAZIL, CROSSING BORDER FROM ARGENTINA London, Eng.—A dispatch to The Sunday Observer from Rio Janeiro says it is reported that bands of armed Germans have crossed the Brazilian border at Rio Grande do Sul and are proceeding in the direction of £-nta Catharina. It is believed, the report adds, that they are sailors who have been interned in Argentina. A dispatch from Rio Janeiro on February 23 said that former Deputy Carreira de Freitas in an interview in the newspaper a Noite had de nounced operations carried on in Southern Brazil in connection with the Hamburg Colonization Company. The reports which caused the pro test, the dispatch added, were to the effect that this company purposed to colonize a portion of the country be tween the States of Santa Catharina and Rio Grande do Sul, to which only colonists of German nationality would be admitted. AMERICANS DOMINATING THE SAN DOMINGANS Recent advices from San Domingo state that the American military gov ernment has suppressed the minister from that country at Washington and also done away with the charge d’af faires in Havana. The former offi cial, Minister Perdoma, having pro tested against the occupation of his country by the United States, was declared non grata by the Secretary of State at Washington. Mr. Morillo, the charge in Cuba, was deprived of his post for the same reason. A detachment of marines disem barked at San Pedro de Macoris and were greeted with a volley of bullets, resulting in the wounding of Captain Henley, and the killing of Second Lieutenant Bolton. Immediately the city was declared under martial law and all the establishments closed. Chacha Goicochea left the city with his group of followers, being followed and dispersed. Chacha has been de clared a rebel and $500 in gold offered for his delivery to the American authorities. PICTURE CREATES SENSATION At the recent exhibition of Amer ican painters in the Knoedler Galler ies, New York City, a sensation was created by a canvas of Manigault’s entitled “The Negress." It portrays a nude figure of a Colored woman. The art critic of the New York Sun writes as follows concerning it: “People with strict ideas gasp when they see this picture, and ‘Did you evers?’ and ‘No I nevers!’ are fre quent in its neighborhood. What it means nobody seems to know; I’m certainly quite in the dark myself, but most people agree that it means some thing. Perhaps if the public does find the answer to the riddle and the answer is not considered perfectly sat isfactory, it may rise in its might and slay Mr. Manigault. Stranger things have happened in this country. The race problem still has its dangers. “But a French friend of mine, in whose artistic judgment I have great confidence and who, being a French man, is not aware of the extreme thinness of the ice upon which Mr. Manigault is skating, appeared to be fascinated by the work, and kept coming back to it again and again, and finally said, ‘D’you know, there's a great deal of force in that thing.' ’’ Belmont Laundry, Webster 6900.

South Side Notes (Mrs. Huiu morn urn, Correspondent) The Fred Douglas Literary society met last Tuesday at Bethel Baptist church, t^uite a number were present and all seemed to enjoy fully the dis cussions on the subject: “Resolved, i'hat Ignorance Causes More Crimes Than Poverty.” The four persons ap pointed to discuss the subject gave some very convincing points on both sides. The judges rendered the de cision in favor of the affirmative. Hereafter the club will meet on Fri day night instead of Tuesday.
