one hundred years ago the first col
ored troops who ever served in the
army of the United States won the
commendation of General Jackson in
the battles in and around New Or
leans. 1t was there that small part
of the regular army, the militia of sew
eraI or the southwestern states, and
Two attachments of colored troops
won the final engagement which drove
the invaders from the shores of that
portion of the country
January 21 General Jackson read an
address to each of the commands
which had taken part in the battles,
reviewing the campaign, and saying
oil the engagement of January that
the loss of the enemy was more than
5000 while the American loss was but
Ia wonderful interposition of heav-
en-! An unexampled event in the his
tory of war," General Jackson charac-
terizes the event
In his general orders of January 21,
prior to breaking camp, General Jack
son complimented the various regi-
ments and commands, saying of the
two bodies of colored volunteers:
They have not disappointed the hopes
that were formed of their courage and
perseverance in the performance of
their duty. Majors Lacoste and Da-
quin, who commanded them, have de-
served well of their country"
Yet, although these colored troops
were commended for their GOODNESS
and bravery under fire, especially in
the memorable engagement of Decem-
Der % when they were attached to
Coffee's brigade, which opened the Sc
ries OF battles, recognition for their
services, by way of pension and
bounty, was withheld for several years
after their discharge from the serv-
Ice and then was granted only after
an opinion had been given by William
Writ, attorney general of the United
States at that time, that they might
legally be SO recompensed.
When the colored troops enlisted the
act of congress of December "a, 1911,
provided a bounty of SIG, with three
months pay, and a grant of 160 acres
of land to those who had served five
years, the same amount of land to the
heirs of those killed in battle, and the
same amount of land to the heirs of
those who had died in the service after
having served five years. The act of
January IL, 1872, carried like provi-
sions, and the act of December 10, 1914,
again carried the provisions, except
that the amount of land granted was
doubled.
After the colored troops were mus
tered out, application was made in
their behalf for recognition under
these acts, especially for the bounty
of 800 acres of land, but it was not
until 1923 that their claims were rec
ognized.-James Croggon in tha Wash
ington Star.

Spellman seminary has trained
many competent women for domestic
service, the majority of them going
back to the country from which they
came, and marrying, while those who
go into service in Atlanta are salts
factory. The Fort Valley school for
the industrial uplift of. the Negro has
had little monetary assistance in
Georgia. The domestic science school,
established by that capable Negro of
Athens, Samuel Harris, through vari-
GUS agencies, has most of it's support
from outsiders, and Linton Ingraham,
that faithful eX-slave, who was born
on Alexander Stephens plantation. is
struggling to raise $1,500 to build, as
a memorial to Mr.. Stephens, an indus
trial school at Sparta, Ca, where
domestic science is one of the pur-
poses. He has the highest indorse-
ment from the white men of that vi
cinity, the governor of the state in
dorses his work, and the men of
thought who have seen it and appre-
ciate the good purpose of it, but In
graham is begging enough money now
to go North and get the necessary
$1,500 for the completion of the build
ing.
Individually, Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Heard of Rose Hill farm, have estab-
lished a school for domestic science
for the Negro employees on their
plantation, but in no city or town in

service is loudest, is any step be.

London.-The advance guard of the
Turkish army, which is undertaking
an invasion of Egypt, has reached the
British outposts to the east of the
Suez canal, where the first skirmish
of the war in this region took place
The fight, according to the official
report, apparently was a small affair,
only one British officer being wound,
ed, but dispatches from Cairo say the
invaders suffered severely from the
machine guns of the British troops.
Nothing has been heard of the mill.
tary venture which it was reported
the Germans were preparing for EN-.
peror Williams birthday, unless
their attacks on the French at Ypres
and on the BI tish at La Bassee were
intended as such. These attacks
were very severe, but beyond this
there is nothing in common between
the accounts of the allies and the
Germans concerning the fighting.
The French communication repeats
the statement that the German.
were repuplsed with heavy losses,
while the Germans say the British
were unable to recapture their
former positions. Similar contradic
tory statements are made regarding
the severe fighting which is taking
place near Craonne and Perthes in
the Argonne and in the vicinity OF
st. Mihiel. In all these cases both
sides claim the battles resulted in
their favor.
Two German and British Ships Sunk.
An official statement says: THE
German cruiser Kolburg is reported
to have been sunk in Sundays battle
in the North Sea-
Contrary to British reports that nc
British ships were lost and that pur
suit of the German ships fiGally was
abandoned on account of German
mines and submarines, the following
statement was received from the
German government:
In the three hours" fight, which
cost us the armored cruiser Bluecher
one British battle cruiser and two
British destroyers were sunk. Finally
the British fleet withdrew from the
German squadron and beyond the
reach of their guns. There was nc
question of pursuit of the German
cruisers"

Few people realize to what an ex-
tent the nation is indebted to the edu-
Gated colored man for the mainte-
nance of peace between the races
While many race wars have been pre-
dicted. no serious and prolonged ra-
oial conflict has taken place in re-
cent years in the South. 1t has been
in a very large degree the influence
of the educated Negro who has coun-
seled patience, forbearance and sym
pathetic cooperation between the two
races that has prevented disgraceful
outbreaks and has resulted in secur-
ing and maintaining a large degree of
peace and harmony between the races.
The people of this nation should
remember that the Negro is not a
beggar so far as his personal needs
are concerned. He supports himself
in clothes and shelter, and has done
so for as years. The only call that he
has made upon the public has been
for aid in the direction of education,
moral and religious training"-B. T.
Washington.

Hampton institute is an undenom-
national school for the training OF
teachers and leaders in agriculture,
the trades and community work. Its
aim, as expressed in 1859 by General
Armstrong, has not changed: ITO
train selected youth who shall go out
and teach and lead their people, first
by example by getting land and
homes; to give them not dollar they
can earn for themselves; to teach re.
spect for labor; to replace stupid
drudgery with skilled hands; and to
these ends to build up an industrial
system, for the sake not only of self
support and intelligent labor, but also
for the sake of character
Hampton has recently published a
pamphlet, Education for Life" which
contains General Armstrong; leading
ideas on education-a working philos-
ophy of Christian living. Education
for Life" contains sections on edu-
cation of hand, education of the mind.

sued by the United States bureau of
education: 1T is felt that General
Armstrong; theory and demonstra-
ton of practical education have
proved to be right, not merely for the
races for which they were immediate
ly intended, but for boys and girls
everywhere, since they represent
successful attempt to work out one
of the most momentous tasks of our
time-that of creating an education
