Negro Soldiers
For French Army
European Republic Planning TO Organize a
Great Army of Black Troopers...Cob-
ne! Mdngin Says the Negro Makes
an Excellent Soldier and
a Brave Fighter.

The announcement that the French
government is to organize an army Of
blacks TO the number Of 100000 and
that American Negroes, especially
those who have had military training,
will be welcomed to its ranks is sig.
nifcant and meaniugful. Prejudice
against color has never existed In
Great Britain, France. Spain. Portugal,
the Italian states, Prussia, Austria,
Russia or any part OF the world where
Negroes have not been held as slaves.
Colonel Mangin, who is an expert on
military affairs, says concerning the
new scheme, My experience has con.
vinced me that the Negro makes au ex.
cellent soldier. his staying qualities and
loyalty being at least equal TO those OF
the whites. while his courage never
has been questioned" Writing in a
military journal. Colonel Mangin adds
that the American civil war proved
this over and over again and that, il
deseneracy of the black race has been
shown in intellectual pursuits. certain.
ly this has not been the case where
the bugie was sounding the charge.
I'm France. where we make no dif-
ferences, social or otherwise. because
Of the color of the skim" said Colonel
Mangin, 1.-The Negro always has devel-
oped rapidly.
Il say, let the American Negro or
his comrades anywhere else who are
suffering from neglect or inhuman dis
tinctions come to France and join our
colored army. Here he will find n
welcome. an adequate living. a field
for his peculiar abilities and great
chances for the future"
In Brazil, where there were more
than 100000 slaves. some of the high
est offices of state are filled by black
men. and some of the most distin-
guished men in the brazilian army are
blacks and mulattoes.
There are distinguished lawyers. pro-
fessors, physicians-black and mulat-
toes-in Lisbon and other ports Of
Portugal, in France. England. the
