It will be remembered - Q day in which
the game Of politics was . stranger and

place in public councils II q man, wheth-
or white, black, green, grizzly or gray,
had reached the age of 2l and lad pass-

register. He could put himself in place
to snswer his country's cali. The black
man, we mean the American Negro,
showed from early morn till late It night
that Ice Was and is ready to answer his
country's call, even in his restricted ter
ritory 5O.0Oo strong to the contrary. The
black msn may have ignorantly or in
fear shown his willingness to serve his
country but he did it nevertheless. Col

patriotic desire 10 defend his country
They did il without Q murmur but on the
other hand wore smiles. There was a
