OUR BOYS.

All hail to the sons Of the true and
tried,
Who've suffered countless ills,
For freedoms sake they now decide
Help crush the iron hills.
What noble purpose in hearts Of those
Who's life seems but dream.
A discord, no, but Heaven knows
A vision they have seen.
They see beyond this awful scene,
A democracy, that's true
A thing which yet has never
been,
SO far, as e'er they knew i
They've always answered every call
And proved they're men indeed;
Still giving yet their blood for all
And suffering for their creed.
Oh yes, they'll give their heart and
hand
And bring back highest fame,
And bid their nation rise and stand
In honor Of their name.

law was surpassed without force, or

Again when tho recruits had been
collected some lamentable errors
were made in the choice and con-
struction OF the barracks and camps
OF, instruction at st. Louis, RufsQue.
Kouroussa, Bou'ake, Kotonou and Por
to Novo, due to the novelty Of the
problem presented by the recruit
mcnt and rapid training Of the first
batch of $4,000 Africans for European
warfare. This arose also partly from
the recall Of the experienced Colon
ial Medical officers to Franco at the
outbreak OF THE war Tor service at
the Front. and their replacement by
inexperienced officers when the re-.
cruiting was taken in hand. But
these errors were quickly amended
when they were realized, and now
every care Is taken for the welfare
Of the African soldier from the time
he leaves his native village till he
joins his unit in France.

HOUSINGS.

At the outset It was considered by
the authorities to be only fair to
group the African troops with their
French comrades In arms, In order
to show that the black troops, being
exposed to the same dangers on tho
battlefield, were deserving of the
same solicltude and privileges as
were bestowed ON French soldiers in
Franco. 1t was soon discovered that
this close association enta:led incon.
veniences on both Frenchman and
African, from which the latter sur
fered most. In spite OF the utmost
tolerance and the Spirit OF "comara-
derie" on both sides the difference
IN social customs, habits and tastes
was too great. All the good will in
the world could not prevent occa-
sions of friction between men Of hab.
it's SO different, or render the close
and constant association agreeable to
either party. TO the African, with
his high sensitiyeness to what he con-
siders q slight, the amazement and
amusement Of the French soldiers at
the customs SO strange to them, of
their African comrades were con.
slant, though unintenttonal sources
OF annoyance. The frequent prayers,
the amulets and charms Of the. pious
African, whether Muslin or pagan,
were matter for jest to the emanci-
pated Frenchman who, without the
feast intention, was incessantly
wounding the tenderest susceptible
tiles of his comrades. On tho other
hand, the African love for long ''pa-
LAYERS" at all hours of. the day or
night, and their sudden bursts OF
singing and dancing were CALLING or
tedious to the Frenchman. 1t was
therefore decided to separate African
and European troops, and this has
been done without Wounding the sus-
capabilities Of the former, or convey
ing any idea Of privilege to the lat
ter. On the contrary, 1t has tended
to increase the good feeling on both
sides. as the respect and admiration
engendered by the emulation of the
battlefield Is no longer clouded by
petty chickering's over mutual incom.
patibilities in barracks.
