French reg- iments actually turned their backs upon the enemy and began to march to Paris to demand peace, he said. The hitherto unpublished story of French matiny has just been re- yéaled in Churchill's néw book of the world war. Admits Mutiny. Painleye admitted the mutiny. For five anxious weeks, he said, the French high command battled to suffocate the .germs of revolt spreading along the front and re- store discipline and morale in the ranks. Painleve summarized the spring of 1917 as one of the most thrill- ing periods of the great war. “It is history,” he said, “of which it is difficult and painful to write. The truth develops slowly and with diffieulty from passions and controversies.” As to the Russian troops, Pain- leve said: Refers to Russia. “The Russian General had threat- ened them and the artillery was racial rather than in social terms—} was presented by Theodore Lessing, the German philosopher, who declared | that the expansion of the white race| was far more noticeable than that of the yellow. “The tremendous growth! of the white race in a hundred years) from one sixth to one third of the population of the earth emphasizes| that danger,” he declared. Lessing .warned his audience that only liberty for all people and social equality could save the world from the white peril. Africa for Africans. The demand of exploited peoples of Africa for liberty was voiced by the Senegalese Negro Senghor, a former letter carrier and now a vigorous agi- tator for a league of black people against the French and the British. “Africa for the Africans,” was the | slogan that he raised in his plea for) the liberation of the black race. He described the exploitation of the Afri- can Negro by the British, French and Belgians and contrasted his economic condition with that of the American Negro. New Mexican Secretary.
