"Fly, you black face nigger, you," shouted a white boy.
There will be for a long time plenty for everybody to do; and let us make sure that we both play the game fairly: that's the chief matter to look out for." That's what I most fear in the decades following the end of the war trade clashes. The Englishman's pride will be hurt. I recall a speech made to me by the friendliest of the British Mr.
A resumption of activity in that quarter was productive of raids, clashes in the air and Zeppelin alarms, such as were common in the western theatre, but on a lesser scale, as the Russians and Austrians possessed only a limited air equipment and the Germans were compelled to concentrate the bulk of their machines elsewhere.

The youth felt the old thrill at the sight of the emblem.
After interminable delays the Indians either refused to treat at all, or else the acts of those who did were promptly repudiated by those who did not.
