GETTING TOGETHER.

White and colored people in Wis
consin are working together for the
good of all the people. Never before
in the history Of Wisconsin has the
spirit of the fatherland OF God. and
the brotherhood Of man, been mani
tested as it is today. The white
people all. over the state are extend.
ing to their colored neighbors the
right hand Of fellowship and good
will. Some of Milwaukee's leading
white families have extended invita-
tons to colored people to visit their
homes and be with them In their so
cial affairs, and they are doing all
they can to blot out forever the color
line In Milwaukee. Yet some of our
colored women who are SO narrow,
that they are trying to withhold them
selves from the white neighbors. We
advise those women who are still
clinging to those old southern ideas
Of racial segregation, cut It out, and
work together, and II a white woman
wishes to join your clubs admit her
under the same conditions that you
admit women Of your own race.

mean the variegated Americans
please write of them as Negroes. with

merging the departments of the adi,tant
general and inspector general of the army
into the general stan CORPS. General
Leonard Wood, chief OF STAFF. has suggest
cd substitute TO the House Military Com
mittee which would materially change the
measure General Wood urges that in abol-
ishing the two bureaus the officers now
serving I'm them he transferred to the line
Of the army. Carrying out the idea OF
the organization OF the general staff, Gem
eral Wood recommends that the work Of
tho two bureaus. after they have been
consolidated with the general staff. he per-
formed by officers detailed by the Secretary
Of War.
Under the pending bill the adjutant gen.
erals and inspector generals departments
would be transferred TO the general stan
as separate corps. 1t would permit the re-
tirement Of the adjutant general as lieu
tenant general and the promotion OF other
officers on retirement General Wood has
informed the committee that his proposi-
ton would avoid increasing the number OF
high ranking officers on the retired list.
