Naulbetsch's case is a strange one.

AMERICAN PRESS FAIR TO
COL0RED TROOPS AT FRONT
Brief Reference to Past and Present
Behavior of Our Fighters.

The behavior oc the colored troops in
the present uprising in Mexico Is strict
ly in keeping with the record Of the
colored soldiers in all the wars in
which the United States has had to
take part. The line of their deeds
stretches from Bunker Hill to San
Juan and thence back across to the
western frontier of our country. They
took part in the civil war and won
fame with the Army Of the Potomac.
The number enlisted was $4,000. At
the battle Of Olustee, Milliken's Bend
and Fort Wagner they bore Old Glory
to the fore, and, in the words Of Ser.
geant Bill Carney, the old flag never
touched the ground.
In the war Of 1912 at New Orleans
and on Lake Erie General jackson and
Commodore Perry gave testimony Of
their valor and deeds Of daring. No
wonder the daily press of the country
speaks Of their present and past record
as being equal to any class Of men
which has ever shouldered musket In
defense of our common country.
It is recorded Of Baron Won Clausen.
a German army officer, who was Wis
itor to the United States during the
Revolutionary war, that in speaking Of
the bravery Of the colored troops he
said: "Of the 10000 soldiers in General
Washington's camp 5000 were Ne
groes, and the best drilled and disci-
plined regiment was Colonel Greene's
Rhode Island troops, three-fourths Of
which were composed Of Negroes"
The Ninth and Tenth cavalry, the
Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth in
fantry and the Eighth Illinois regi-
ments, with the regiments Of white
troops, at the present time constitute
the flower of the American army.
Should this country become involved
in war with any nation or government
it may rely on the support Of its color
ed soldiers. The Fifteenth New York
infantry, now In the making, will be
heard from in due time. The fairness
Of the daily press Of the country In the
present crisis is admirable.

BIG BAPTIST Meeting.
Kansas City, NO., to Entertain the Ma.
tionaI Convention Sept. 6.

Kansas City, No., to Entertain the Ma
tionaI Convention Sept. g.
Kansas City, Mo.-With the securing
Of the big Convention hall and audito
rum the citizens Of this city passed
their first milestone in preparing for
the visitors Of the great national Bap,
list convention that is to be held here
Sept. 6 to IL, inclusive. This feat was
accomplished by the committee Of three
consisting of Drs. Hurst, Williams and
Beckham, who are representing the
general committee in charge Of the en-
tertainment Of the entire delegation.
Simultaneous to the securing Of this
Convention hall news came from Vicks,
burg, Miss, that the executive commit
tee Of the congress in session there had
chosen its delegates for the coming big
gathering.
A program covering six days Of con
structive work has been made. which
IL argued here as guaranteeing an un,
usually interesting session. The com
mittee on homes has been at work for
some time making assignments.
The citizens Of the city, regardless Of
denominations, have Joined hands to
help Kansas City entertain her guests
the first week in September.
The Baptist Minister'S alliance took
action some time ago whereby the Sc
curing of the big city Convention hall
and other places was heartily indorsed
1t is safely estimated by President
Jones Of the national Baptist conven.
ton that over 5000 Baptists will in.
wade Kansas City during the week Of
the convention.
