The call for a mass meeting Of
the race by colored citizens OF
Aberdeen and the adoption of res
olutions expressing loyalty to the
flag, an account of which is pub
lished elsewhere in this paper,
is commendable in a very high
degree. If any people should
revere the stars and stripes it is
the dark skinned citizens of
America. That flag initiated
them first into the light of civil
ization, and then endowed them
with the enjoyments of liberty
and freedom. 1t is fit for this
race as much as any other, to
rally around that flag and do a
mans part to carry it to victory
in this righteous war against ag-
erosion and for democracy and
human liberty. The cOlOred
people of the South will prove
loyal to our country, and will
march side by side with every
class of citizen to defend this
nation against insult and murder
of its people by an insolent and
relentless enemy, The Southern
people, white and black, are as
one in defense of the flag of this
country.

EIGHTEEN WHEN WAR CAME.
His exploit together with the un-
usual recompense came as a logical
sequence to his entire military career,
which dates merely from the beginning
of the present struggle. When hostili-
ties broke out in August, 1914. Dumont
was Just Is years of age. He had been
born Just outside of Paris and had
spent most Of his youth at the capital.
He succeeded in being accepted as a
volunteer and was at once given few
months Of military training as an en-
gineer. On October %. 1914. he was
sent to the front with the Moroccan
division and soon had had his baptism
Of fire on the Aisne. In quick success
sion he participated in checking the
German attempt to cross the User and
in the subsequent heavy fighting about
Ipres.
The brilliant part played in these en-
gagements, together with the heavy
losses sustained won for the division
brief period of repose which was
spent in the Argonne. A few months
later, however, found them back in
Flanders and there Dumont won his
first citation and the Croix de Guerre
by exploding German mines about
Newport after hard hand to hand
fight with the German defenders.

participated in the hard lighting about
Morthomme. still later his division
was sent to the opposite bank OF the
Mouse. There Dumont won his second
citation in the recapture OF Fleury in
August, 1916.
His latest opportunity to distinguish
himself came some two months later
in the assault on Douaumont. Al

the condition Of the intervening ground
was such that 1t took over two hours
under terrific shell fire to cross it.
Dumont and four men OF the same

Of the fort. No officer was in sight, so
Dumont himself assumed command
