, Since 1870 there have been four
colored regiments in our regular estab-
lishment, two of cavalry and two of
infantry, but there has never been a
colored artillery organization in the
regular service. When ten regiments
and several units of artillery were add
ed in 1901 the colored citizens Of
America were deeply offended that
Secretary Root failed to recommend
the establishment of any colored reg
iment.
Now that the question Of recruiting
the national guard is before congress
again the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored People
urges that the right of these 10000
coo citizens to participate to the full
in every phase Of our national life be
recognized by designating two of the
artillery regiments and two of infan-
ry OF those about to be created by con-
gress as open to enlistment to colored
Americans. If hyphenated citizenship
is weakness of the body polite, why
insist that 100000 men and women
must remain Afro-Americans unto the
fourth and fifth generation?

Washington.--The following letter
recently sent to the chairman of the
house and senate committees on mill
tary affairs and others voices the de-
nand Of 100000 native born, Eng
l,Sh speaking American citizens for
The right TO serve their country at this
crisis OF its existence. These citizens
K for The right oenlist in our army,
while The tenth cavalry is bearing the
lrpnt in Mexico.
The letter says: At the suggestion
or Mr.. Oswald Garrison Willard, treas
urer of the National Association For
the Advancement Of Colored People,
this appeal is presented cslling for
your support OF the request that two
regiments OF artillery and two of in
fantry OF those about to be created be
designated as open for the enlistment
OF colored soldiers.
Tee adiutant general has stated that
he doubted II 175,000 regulars could
te recruited in the United States.
There is no difficulty III recruiting col
ored regiments. Yet while officers are
tearing their hair to get white recruits
the SIGN is up, "No colored man want
odh" Does ii not seem a ridiculous
program OF preparedness which delib-
eratoly excludes the best material
we've got?
That is no idle boast. When the
I'ifty-fourth Massachusetts storned
Fort Wagner in 1868 it established
for al time the fact that the colored
soldier could fight and fight well. The
history OF the ninth and tenth cavalry
in th2 Indian fights between 1868 and
1920 piled up the evidence of their
courage and loyalty. There have been
notably fewer desertions from the
colored regiments than from the white.
me Ninth cavalry once astonished the
srmy by reporting not single deser-
ton in twelve months, an unheard Of
gnl undrcamod or record.
Thair service during the Spanish
war end since has shown our colored
t~nops 20 be infinitely better fitted for
rvice in our tropical dependencies
than white troops. Company L OF the
forty-ninth volunteers, composed Who'll
" Of colored men and commanded by
Captain e. l.. Baker, colored vet
Gran, who had served for seventeen
years in the ninth and tenth cavalry,
made record which no white COM
pany remotely approached. This COM
pany had on its rolls during a period
Of twelve months log men who were
fit for duty at all times and never lost
q day on account Of sickness.
More extraordinary still is the fact
that during ths same period not one Of
these men ever went before court
martial, surely striking Illustration
of what can be done by colored officers.
Such traits enabled General A. S. Burt
in relinquishing command of the 25th
infantry on April II, 1902, to quote the
inspector general of the army as say
ing, "The twenty-fifth infantry is the
hest regiment ! have seen in the Phil
'1pines." 1t was noticeable, too, that
raither the officers nor the men of
my colored regiment figured in the
charges and countercharges which

MEMORIAL DAY
IS FIT Il N GLY.
OBSERVED HERE

Another Memorial Day has come and
gone To say that it was fttingly OBJ
served in this city would fall far short
of expressing it. The day has been all
that could be asked for with the re-
suit that large crowds have participat-
eC in the observances.
The program as was published in
these columns was carried out in full.
At 10 o'clock the parade was formed
in front of the Carnegie Library and
proceeded to the soldiers monument
where reyerent hearts and loving
hands bedecked it with flowers and in
song honored the memory of the he
roes who wore the gray. From here the
procession moved to the High school
auditorium where the rest of the exer-
cises were rendered.
The speaker of the day, DIR. C. 3.
Vi Inner, of Atlanta, delivered a most
appropriate address. His remarks
throughout were pleasing and meat for
the occasion. He dwelt at consider
able length upon the virtues of the
Lost Cause and in words of tender
pathos he reviewed the trying times of
the Sixties, and pictured to the minds
% his hearers the bitter ordeals under
went by the heroes of the gray. Nor
did he forget to pay tribute to noble
womanhood who did so much in those
dark days, and who are now ever to
the front in keeping green the memory
OF lost, but noble and Just cause,

AIR FIGHT VERY

Heavy fighting in the vicinity of
Dead Mans Hill, northwest of Verdun,
has again halted.
The Germans are employing artillery
vigorously west of the Meuse. Last
might this fire centered on the French
first line trenches north of Hill 304 in
the Avacourt and Woevre region.
General military compulsion in Eng
land is foreshadowed, unless unattest-
ed unmarried men enlist in sufficient
numbers to satisfy the military author
tiles.
Premier Asquith the British parlia-
ment in secret session yesterday that
unless fifty thousand unattested un-
married men enlist by May 25th, and
that If thereafter at least $4,000 are not
secured each week to fill wastage in
the ranks the government will ask for
power TO force general enlistment. II
IL proposed by Asquith to force recruit
iIg as indicated until 100000 additional
upattested troops are enlisted.
Premier Asquith, addressing the
house Of commons today stated that
drastic measures are being taken to
suppress the rebel movement in Ire
land. Outside of Dublin, he said, the
country is tranquil. He added that
steps are now being taken to acquaint
neutral countries with the real signifi-
cance of this most recent German cam
paign directed toward creating dis
turbances in Entente countries.

CITY COUNCIL IS
PAT on
INSURANCE RATE

The city council did not take any
action on the fire insurance rate ques-
ton in Americus, maintaining the po-
sition that they had nothing to act
upon. No communication was before
them, or has been received.
The city council placed special Ii
cense tax of $50 per year on all in-
surance companies at the first of the
year, this following a conference with
local insurance people. Up to this time
the council has heard no objection,
except through the columns of the
Americus newspapers in publishing
letters, interviews and stories.
The almost unanimous opinion Of
the city council seemed to prevail that
they would sit steady in the boat until
they were shown to be wrong, and
from the general impression they be-
lieved themselves right.
The regular meeting of the council
convened Tuesday night with every
member present, including Mayor
Council, Aldermen Bell, Dudley, Hor-
ton, Jones, Kalmon and Poole.
The streets along the line of march
O.. the Elks parade were ordered to be
sprinkled, upon request of the Elks Of
the city.
1t was decided that the city council
would not participate so far as they
were concerned, in the special edition
of the Macon Telegraph, which is seing
prepared.
The committee composed of Alder
n,en Dudley, Horton and Kalmon re-
ported that they attended conference
held Tuesday morning concerning the
proposed changes which the Central of
Georgia railway will make in their
passenger station in Americus. They
stated that they objected to the plans
as originally presented and reported
the action of the meeting which was
told in Tuesday afternoons Times-Re-
corder.
The sealed bids for the bond issue of
$4,000 which was voted by the people

ceived.
