question that was raised in the French
chamber Of deputies by the bill of the
Negro deputy. NJ Diagne, representing
Senegal providing for the extension of
general compulsory military service In
France to colonial municipalities whose
inhabitants enjoy French citizenship,
was presented in numerous new lights
and complications at the session Of the
chamber
The question of how to apportion q
pension In cases of polygamist Sene-
galese leaving several widows proved
poser for the deputies. The minis
ter of war and the military committee
Of the chamber approved the general
provisions of the Diagne bill, which
provide for the Incorporation with
the regular French forces Of the Sene-
galese subject to compulsory service.
The action Of the committee was i'm
mediately attacked by Deputy La
broue, who pictured the difficulties
arising from the presence In the French
army of soldiers unable to speak
French and of different religion and
social customs.
Deputy Labroue also raised the ques-
ton of confusion in the payment of
pensions to the widows of polygamous
Senegalese. He proposed an amend
ment providing for the Incorporation
Of such troops in native regiments en-
titled to pensions and the other rights
Of French citizens The speaker was
frequently interrupted by protests from
the Negro Depllles Diagne, Lagrosil-
!iere Of Martinique and Candace and
Boisneuf of Guadeloupe, Lagrosilliere
crying amid frantic applause, Our fell
low citizens ask only to be allowed
to serve the mother country, for which
they already have poured out their
blood"
Paul Deschanel. president Of the
chamber, was forced to quell the tu-
multi by declaring that the entire cham
Der felt ''the same .espect and the
same love for all. Whatever their race
or religion, who are fighting under the
folds of the tricolored flag" Deputy
Labroue insiste on Tie special regf.
ments for SenegaIese who do not speak
French. Deputy Boisneuf interrupted,
crying, Il then demand a special regi-
ment for Frenchmen unable to read
and write"
Deputy Diagne then obtained the
floor and made an eloquent appeal OF
behalf of the blacks, reviewing tho
part they had played In conquering the
French colonial empire. "For eleven
months the Senegalese have demanded
to be allowed to serve France" ne
said; "if they haven't 5een permitted
to do so It If he fault of the minister
of war"
Deputy Diagne said that the widows
of soldiers ought to receive pensions
even when there were Geveral, but he
added: Native soldiers are not as rich
as the average French soldier, who is
also poor and therefore has only one
wife. Polygamy is a luxury Of wealth.
Alexandra Millerand minister Of
war, said the Diagne Oily seemed to
rect the wishes of majority Of the
colonials and urged ita passage. The
bill was passed without change.

The following are some of the
principles for which the Colored Cit
izens Protective Association, an or
ganization of colored men and women
recently organized for the civic pro-
lection and betterment of their citi-
zenry of San Francisco, stand for:
The principles we stand for and ad-
vocate in season and out of season:
We believe that humanity is unit,
and we advocate the cause of right
and justice for all sorts and condi-
tions of people, women, children and
men.
We believe in an Almighty God and
we are unalterably opposed to the
sovereign will and power vested in
>~H1S~ f--s------ t--aIsB ~~-----.-
We believe in inspired and divine
race leadership and we are uncompro-
misingly opposed to specially hired
or charitably bribed leadership for
this reason: any man who can be spe-
cially hired and privately paid to lead
the people can be bribed to mislead
the people.
We believe that colored men in all
parts of the republic should vote and
be allied with any political party they
desire, and we strongly advocate TAX
ing an active part in politics and vot-
ing at all elections.
We believe in a broad franchise for
women and men, and we advocate the
same qualification for both, because
it is just, right and fair and will work
for the success of human progress and
good government.
The object of the Colored Citizens
| Protective Association is: To seek the
truth by turning the searchlght on in
| dark places; to oppose false teachings
