FRANCE TO HAVE PARADE
OF GREAT BLACK ARMY.
Plans Made For Review of Remarkable
Troops In Paris.

Within the last six years France has
raised a black army approximating
100000 men, and the ministry of war
and the colonial ministry are now pre-
pairing plan for giving Paris chance
TO see the black soldiers at the ma
tional review ON July IA.
1t is purposed that each section-the
Senegalese, the :Madagas scar troops and
others--shalt send a delegation and
that president PoineaT'e shall present
each regiment with its, flag. The
First Senegalese regiment, which has
its flag already, will receive the in
sigma and the Legion of Honor, which
decoration was recently gazetted.
Frances black army has been
brought into being by Colonel Mangin,
who was when a captain second in
command of Marchand's famous mis-
sion to Fashoda in 1899.
There are very few black officers.
Two years ago there were only doz-
on. The French find that black men
fight better under white officers, as
has also been the experience of the
American army.
A French military authority, Gen
aral BOnnal, estimates in a document
which is filed at the French war office
that a division of 10000 blacks Off
cered by Frenchmen could make q
breach in u German line of battle OF
two to three miles and push then
/ back, scattering infantry, cavalry ant
artillery after French troops had pre-
/ pared the way for them.

before Mayor Foxworthy the past
week on the charge of shooting re-

seems the boys found an old broken
