THE SPELLING REFORM
HITS GOVERNMENT

here who have followed the trouble
with the negro troops at Brownsville
Tex, express the belief that congress
may be asked to repeal the law per
hitting the enlistment of negroes, OF
at least designating the posts at which
they may be scheduled.
Worries the Department.
Placing negro troops has always oc.
casioned anxiety and worry to the war
department. Officials say that no com
munity is willing to have negro sol,
diers. The department records show
that practically in every case in which
citizens have advance notice of the de-
partment's intention to send colored
troops to a neighboring army post, an
emphatic protest is made.
May Not Abandon POST.
The opinion prevails that Fort
Brown will not be abandoned. 1t is an
important link in the chain along the
Mexican frontier.
