regiment IS RAISED
BY LITTLE GRAY NUN
Sister Marianne Insils Patriotism Into
BOYS of Slums.
By the International News Service }

CBy the International News Service.) }
New York, April 6.-A little gray nun
has brought out of the melting pot OF
New York's East Side a regiment Of SOL
diers ready to give their services and
lives II need be to the United States.
Sister Marianne Of Jesus is mother
Of four companies of columbus volun-
teers." Italians, syrIans, Russians, Jews
and youths from every race that goes to
make up that great cosmopolitan popula-
ton of the East Side are members OF
her troop" Twice a week for more
than a year they have heard from the
lips of Sister Marianne of Jesus Of the
debt of gratitude and honor they owe to
the United States, and the soft spoken
little nun has instilled in them spirited
patriotism.
Taught Them Patriotism.
As Mother Superior of the Institute
of Christian Doctrine, Sister Marianne
was quick to recognize the need for
military training among the youth of
the East Side. The National Guard
made no appeal to these boys, few of
them went to school and none of them
could AFFORD to Join organizations
which might give them military train
ing.
So Sister Marianne took it upon
herself to stand sponsor for the mill
tary training Of these East Side boys.
Funds for the equipment of the troop
were slow in coming. Undaunted, Sis
ter Marianne went on with her work
OF organization and secured a drill
master. There was no drill hall, but
this did not perplex the nun. In the
main hall Of the instirute, where saints
smiled down from their little shrines
on the wall, the embryo soldiers were
gathered for drill.
Her Boys Ready Now.
Maj. Gen. Organ, of the New York
National Guard, was finally interested
in the endeavor of the Sister OF Charity
and through his aid and the persistent
work Of Sister Marianne and her asso-
ciate sisters there were finally funds
sufficient to equip the troop with uni
forms, rifles, and banners.
After a year Of training "the boys are
ready" Sister Marianne says. With war
clouds hanging over the ntion this quiet
little woman feels confident that every
boy in her regiment will do his duty by
his country-and it's an adopted country
for most Of them.

over the question Of race difference In
u helpful spirit. What we need in this
emergency Is the help Of right think
ing people In the cities and towns
around the camps, and we are getting
that cooperation so generally that
our course seems free from .mbaras
ment, If German propagandists who
want to make discord by stirring up
sensitive feelings, are simply not al
lowed to do their work.
AS matter Of fac, the colored peo-
pic and the white people in this coun
try have lived together now for q
good many years and have established
relationships in the several parts OF
the country which are more or lees
we'll organized and acquiesced In.
Gradually inc colorcd people ore ac-
1u;lirS education in the industrial
arts and are rendering themselves
more and more useful in our civiliza
ton, and more and more entitled to
our respect. On the other hand, the
white people are coming more gcner-
ally to realize the value of the good
citizens among the colored people
through their industrial importance
and their eager desire to learn and
qualify themselves for usefulness in
the country, and this has brought
about growth OF good feeling MARI
cd, 1t Is true here and there, by such
incidents as that at Houston and that
at East st. Louis, which grew out of
sad MISUNDERSTANDING, and were per
haps contributed to, In at least one
OF these instances by the malicious
activities Of people who would re-
joice to see any embarrassment come
to us as n sign of weakness hgainst
our enemy. Therefore unrest among
the colored people and suspicion of
the Government on their part are by
all means, to be discouraged at a
time like this.
We are bending all our energies to
the building up of an army to defeat
the enemy Of democracy and freedom,
and the army we are building contains
both white and colored men. We are
expecting that they will all do their
duty, and when they have done it they
will be alike entitled to the gratitude
of their Country.
