NEGRO SELECTIVES WARM
LY WELCOMED AT ATLANTA

Atlanta, Georgia.-Some parts of
the south may be opposed to the Ne
gro Soldier, but Atlanta located in
the heart of the South, gave as warm
and as cordial welcome to the Negro
draft men as it did to it's white draft
men when they began to arrive last
week. The Atlanta Constitution calls
attention on it's first page to the ar
rangements made for the reception
of the colored men, and to the Camp
activities for their enjoyment which
are being organized. The Constitu-
ton says that these camp activities
for colored men will vary in no way
from those organized for the white
selectmen. Every effort will be made
to minimize friction and misunder-
standing.
