SQUARE DEAL FOR NEGRO

1t is quite gratifying 10 the friends
of the colored soldier. as 1t will be
encouraging 10 those Of that race in
the ranks. to note the recent COM
missioning of 6S4 colored aspirants
Cor officers positions, all Of them
graduates OF the "colored Plattsburg"
at Fort Des Moines. 1t is distincly
the wisest and most just action to-
wards the Negro that the Wilson ad-
ninistration has taken since It was
raised to power.
There is an old and misleading be-
lief that negro troops serve well
cniy under white officers. This is
rarity because very few colored Of
ficers have been commissioned, so
conduct Of the Tenth Cavalry under
its lieutenant colonel, Young. COL
cred graduate of West Point, during
the Villa campaign after the dis
;,hility of Col. Dodd. ought to be a
fnal answer to those who doubt the
ability of colored men TO lead. to say
nothing OF the magnificent perform
2nces of colored French troops in
France. AS {, matter Of fact, we be-
l!eYe that the best leaders for colored
Sc ldiers are colored men. and we eX-
rect these colored officers to reflect
the greatest credit upon their race
and their country wherever their
service may lead them.
It is undoubtedly true, rs the New

NEW SAVAGE OFFICIAL
is VERY OPTIMISTIC
H. N. Mabery Outlines Savage
Progress and Outlook
for Year.

Mr. II. N.Mabery. elected secretarS
and treasurer of the Savage Tire Cor
poration, at a recent meeting of the
board of directors. quoted some fig
ures few days ago that emphasized
the rapid progress the Savage con-
cern has made.
According to Mr.. Mabery, less than
two years ago when he became iden-
titled with the Savage company, the
maximum daily output was approx
mately seyenty-five tires. At the
present time. between six-hundred and
seven-hUndred tires and about the
same number of Savage Grafinite
tubes are built every working day.
This big increase in output was not
brought about by laying stress on
rapid work or by cutting quality. but
by departmentizing the factory and
systematizing the work. Factory
space has been added and the me-
chanical equipment increased during
the last two years but the increase in
factory output is probably due to more
efficient factory methods than to any
one thing. Savage tires today are
high quality tires and this high
standard is assured by the present
efficient methods of production and
inspection employed.
