New York.-Edgar Won Schmidt
PAUL., a Prussian cavalry officer, who
is on the western front. has written
for the German newspapers the fol-
lowing remarkable incident which he
and his men witnessed recently:

noisel About me shells are bursting
and all around me is the rat-tat-tat of
machine guns.

is so thick that one can scarcely see a

troops during the night stormed and
captured the French village over yon-
der. I want to see how our left wing
is situated, and therefore ride to the
village where the enemy's bullets are
falling as thick as hailstones during
heavy thunderstorm. The fog contin-
ues thick, but it is not cold.

of him. Carefully l raise my head
over the top of the trench to get

"Well, that is about the case, for
where else could that child have come
from?
Before my weary brain can summon
up any convincing reasons how that

the battle of the night before-a Ger

WANTS SOLDIERS TRIED BEFORE
HOUSTON COURT.
Not Satisfied with Punishbent Heted
Out by Military Court Martial, Nc
Lemore Wants oath Men Delivered
Over to the Tender Mercies of a
Texas Tribunal-Want no Colored
Troops in the South.
Especial Correspondence J

Washington, Sept. 1S.-It developed
here today that resolution has been
submitted in the House by Represen-
tative McLemore asking that the col
ored soldiers of the Twenty-fourth
Infantry who participated in the
Houston riot be turned over for trial
to the Houston civil authorities.
Six of these soldiers were sentenced
to the United States Penitentiary at
Leavenworth, Kansas, by the militia
ry court martial which passed upon
their case last week. Five of these
men got five years apiece at hard Ia
Dor, while the sixth was sentenced
to ten years. All six are to be dis
honorably dischared from the United
States army. Many other members
of the Twenty-fourth not directly i'm
plicated in the Houston riot are ex-
pected to be tried for conspiracy
against military authority. AS a result
of the riot the entire regiment will
be sent to Manila, Philippines, for
the duration of the war None of
these developments, however, appear
to have satisfied Representative Nc
Lemore, who now virtually demands
the execution of the colored soldiers
by asking that they be removed from
the jurisdiction of the military and
surrendered to the courts of Houston,
Texas, presided over by Southerners
ever thirsty for colored blood, wheth,
er by due process of law or by the
far more popular Texas method of
mob law.
The McLemore resolution, after US
ing every word and phrase, truth and
falsehood, possible to incite and in,
flame race prejudice, ends up with
the following:
Resolved, That the House of Rep
resentatives of the SiXty-ffth Con-
eress do, and it hereby does, instruct
the Secretary of War to have brought
back to Houston, to stand trial, the
Negro soldiers who were indicted for
numbering Houston citizens, and that
he be further instructed to authorize
any military tribunal he may select
to investigate the crime Of the mutin-
Gus and murderous Negro soldiers, to
be coordinate with the citizens com.
mittee appointed by the city Of HOus
ton, and to work with said citizens
committee in secking and receiving
information and testimony, that jus
tice may be meted out to the mutin-
Gus murderers.
Resolved, further, That it is the
sense Of this House that the policy
of sending Negro soldiers to the South
is detrimental to the best interests
of the country, and should at once be
abandoned, that there may be no re-
currence of the horrible crimes so re-
Gently perpetrated at Houston"
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs and Or
dered to be printed, but our good and
well thinking President has to pass
judgment before this can be DONE

In discussing the Houston matter
troops assignments, Rev. d. w. Can
non, a colored minister, in the COM
munication elsewhere upon this page,
makes a clear-cut dispassionate, fair
presentation that should appeal alike
to blacks and white.
He recognizes the fact that never
before in history since the civil war
has the Negro been put to the test as
he is put to it in the present mill
tary situation. He makes it clear
that as the Negro demeans himself
from this time on the whole race is
going to be judged accordingly.
And he is exactly right
If there is another Brownsville or
Houston affair, it simply is going to
mean that there's going to be no more
colored soldiers recruited in the army,
because the colored soldier will have
proven himself not worthy of being
trusted.
The colored troops here or else
where must be impressed with the
fact that local conditions. sentiments,
customs, ETC., must be recognized and
met, and their leaders shouk impress
upon them the fact that they should
do their part toward respecting those
conditions.
If occasionally Negro trooper gets
infractious, transgresses the law and
falls into the hands of policeman,
ii must not be made a race matter,
because it will not be anything of the
sort. In the policies dealing with
Negro malefactor it is no more a race
matter than is their arrest of a white
criminal race matter. Neither race
nor color are taken into consideration
by the law; and to the law all trans
gressOrs look alike
We must keep in mind too, the
dual obligation on the other side,
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1917-09-21

which can be expressed in the simple
statement that in dealing with the
colored troops the white people must
be fair and just.
We believe that if this is impressed
upon officers of the law, street car
conductors and all others with whom
the selected colored troops will be
most frequently brought into contact,
the likelihood of friction will be en-
tirely removed.
In other words, if Negroes and
white alike are impressed with the
fact that we are going to demand and
give fair treatment, we will have gone
long way toward solving what in
other places has proven mean prob
