There was a huge parade
on Labor day by the colored
branch Of the International
Longshoremen and the Cot
ton TANNERS. an organization
recently established in Indi-
annapolis. Plans had been
made to unite the longshore-
mems parade with that of the
Emancipation park, bringing
out the entire Negro organi-
zation of the city into one pa

GERMANS FEAR US.
French Newspaper Says kaises'
Soldiers Arc Afraid OF Col
ored Troops.

One of the horrors of war
has been discovered by a cor
respondent Of a Paris news
paper. 1t has been noticed in
instances that German sold
iers held a, great dread for
the colored soldiers.
The French Government
has in the field a number of
regiments made up Of colored
men from Senegal. These
troops are on the order of the
Tenth Cavalry in America
when it comes to their fighting
ability. and have proven to be
of great aid to the French
Government ever since they
have been assigned to the war
zone.
The German troops are very
unwilling to face these charg :
ers, who know no fear when
il comes to charging the en-
emtes' lines. As 4 bit Of
strategy on the part OF the
French Generals, they have
ordered most of their regi
ments to use burnt cork on
their faces, and have initiated
the Senegals in every way
possible. In one instance be-
fore a charge was ordered the
program was followed with a
horrible yell to which they
gave vent which seem to have
had a considerable effect.
On one occasion, is re-
lated, a detachment of Ger
mans turned tail and fled when
they saw these "Christy Min

LEADERS ARE BORN.
NOT MADE.

1t is generally accepted that
leadership is not a gift. from.
God, but an requirement
created by man. That any
individual who receives polit-
ical or other special prefer
ment, is a man destined to
lead the people. Among Neg
roes political office constitutes,
real leadership, and among
white folks, a Negro leader is
the man who exploits their
views with reference to worth
and character of the Race.
Both of these positions are
erroneous Neither qualihca-
tions as quoted above. consti-
tutes, or rises to the dignity of
real leadership. Leaders are
born and divinely called to
perform a special service to
mankind. Lincoln was a true
type of leadership. He was
divinely appointed to dis
charge the work of emancipa.
ting the slaves. Thomas JEFF
ferson had established the
equality of mankind before
the law, and made it divine
that all men of right. ought
to be free. and Lincoln was
chosen by Providence to put
these fundamentals of human
rights into reality.
There is absolutely not a
single element Of leadership
in the self constituted who are
posing around the country
holding themselves out as
leaders. 4 leader is not
man who takes from society,
but man who contributes
something tangible to the
welfare of the human family.
Each generation contributes
only one leader in sphere,
and all others are imitators,
fakes and self-appointees.
The Race is poor in real
men and leaders, but over.
stocked with self-constituted
fakirs and self-appointees.
We have too many fake lead
ers. Too many men who
have been appointed for us
without proper regard for the
fitness or equipment. A true
leader can always have a fol-
lowing. The people are with
him because he delivers the
goods the people want and
must have He always has
an audience when he talks,
because he talks about the
things the people want to
hear. The people love him
because his heart and soul
beat in unison with theirs.
You can always tell the fakir
because he goes to the other
/ people to get his authority
to lead us. Leaders are born
and not made to order to suit
or do the bidding of the
Creator.

THE REPUBLICS SHAME

For the first timein the his
tory of the United States, the
machinery of the government
of oo,ooo,ooo people is being
used to humiliate and degrade
10000 900 of its loyal and
law abiding citizens.
In some of the departments
of the Federal Government
at Washington Afro -Ameri-
can employees have been seq
regated from their former as
sociates and fellow workers
and ordered to use separate
retiring rooms. In some in
stances cages have been built
to separate Afro-American
and white government clerks.
No other class is obliged to
bear this badge of degrada-
ton.
There is no warrant in law
for these orders of subordi-
nate officials. The facts have
been brought to the attention
of the Department heads and
thousands of petitions, me-
MORALS and letters have been
sent to President Wilson. but
up to this writing he has not
seen fit to rescind this in
famous n-American policy.
1 he clerks who have been
humiliated by the segregation
orders are in no sense wards
tof the. government. They
have won their places by ex-
animation and the govern
ment which they have so
faithfully and efficiently serv-
ed has no right to place upon
them this badge of dishonor.
1t is not question Of social
equality that chimera which
so many Caucasians claim to
fear Of every citizen.
Heretofore the attempts to
degrade the citizenry have
been the work of individual
states in the southern tier: the
Federal Government must be
held responsible for this new
attempt to establish that i'm
possible thing, caste in a Re-
public.
Honest fair minded Ameri-
cans feel that the fair fame OF
our country is being trailed in
the dust: they hang their
heads in shame.
We hold President Wilson
responsible because in the f.
nal analysis the acts of his
subordinate officials are his
and he has the power to end
this injustice by a word.
| We have not lost faith in
the President and we believe
that he will carefully consider
the many protests which have
been made and give the word
which Christian Statesman
should give, that during his
administration there shall be
no segregation or discrimina
ton on account of race, creed
or color among the servants
