colored Men and the Signal Corps.

WASHINGTON, September H.-Ihe Secre>
tary of War yesterday directed the enlist>
ment of W. Howard Greene as a private in
the Signal Corps of the United States
Army. Greene is a full-blooded ebony
negro. He is the first of his race to enter
this branch of the public service, and was
enlisted in the face of the protest of the
officers of the corps. Greene halls from
New York City, and graduated at one of the
colleges in that city. Heretofore colored
men have only been enlisted in the United
States service in two regiments of cavalry
and two of infantry made up of their race.
The innovation of placing q negro in the
scientific arm of the service will establish
precedent upon which negro can make
application for service in any branch of
the army.
