NEGRO BEGINS RECRUITING
Colonel "Gittin' Ready fo Wah," Blu
Theft Dampens His Zeal.

Colonel "Gittin' Ready fo Wah," But
Theft Dampens His Zeal.
'Dere ain no use waitin' 70 wah to
start befo you git ready"
So that's why Colonel Thomas Large. a
patriotic Negro, has begun TO mobile
ize" troops before the trouble starts, The
colonel, who is ponderous and emphatic,
realized that a lot of "rah-crootin" would
have to be done. He engaged Noah
Copelman, another sincere Negro, to take
charge of recruiting Office for negro
volunteers.
Noah lives at 1O11 Locust street, and
opened the office right at his home, which
saved both time and money. 1t appears
that the colonel had considerable trouble
convincing negro citizens that there
would really be war. They said to
him, 'if dere's goin' to be wah, We'll be
in on it, but If dere ain goin' to be no
wah, wot's de use gittin all worked up?"
But the army was coming in sight
slowly, when trouble arose in the finan-
cial department The organizer declared
he had wallet containing so and val
liable medal before he engaged Noah as
his secretary, but shortly after the en-
listment of Noah the money and the
medal disappeared. The colonel said he
won the medal for bravery during the
Spanish-American War.
He does not say outright that Noah
took the money. but on account of the
coincidence he thought 1t would be a
good idea to have Noah court-martialed.
So the secretary was arrested by Police
man Leary, and will have a hearing In
the City Hall.
