warriors coming at them, threw up
their hands and surrendered to the
number Of sixty. The German resis-
lance all along the line was over
come owing to this daring feat. Their
brilliant work brought the distinction
of the war cross to many of the negro
troopers and the entire battalion was
mentioned in army orders for it's
bravery.
When in rest camp the Senegalese
amuse themselves like school boys.
Dancing and singing and gambling
occupy much of their time. Many of
them, however, given up hours daily
to learning French, for they regard
everything appertaining to France as
better than anything else. One of
them who came upon an American
munition wagon driver repairing his
rotor spoke to the American in his
broken French. The American did not
understand and the African turned
and walked away, wearing a disdain-
full expression nd remarking What?
You don't understand French? Have
you never been to SCHOOL,"

.C0AL-BLACk men
ARE VERY POPULAR
Are a Strong Factor in Fight for
Democracy

Correspondence Of The Associated
Press.)
French Front. Sept, 3O.-"You
white men are forced to fight: we
are volunteers, say proudly French's
colonial soldiers when they reply to
Questions as to the reason for their
coming to Europe to fight. Whether
they come from Senegal, Madagascar
or Somaliland, all OF them express
gladness at the opportunity to pay Off
their kindred in the German colonies
in Africa, the news of which has
been spread among them from one
end Of the continent to the other by
their mysterious methods of communi
cation. All of them know of the fate
OF the Herrera nation in German
South West Africa, where only a few
wandering groups remain alive OF
what once was a powerful negro
tribe.
Undoubtedly the most popular of
the French colonial volunteers are
the coal-black Senegalese Their
courage in the field and their devotion
TO their white officers have became
proverbial The mentality of these
trloesmen is almost infantile in its
simplicity, but they are quick to learn.
Inelr adaptability is such in warlike
matters that they have become ex-
pert IN very short time with all the
most modern weapons. Many of them
before coming to France have under
gone training in the colonies and con-
sequently are acquainted with Euro
pean drill and discipline. Others are
raw recruits, who are exercised first
When they reach French soil The
easerness OF all to acquire proficiency
with the new weapons is such that
even In their hours Of rest in their
instruction camps they may be seen
IN groups exercising with them and re-
peating the words of command in
French, which they rapidly learn.
1t has been asserted enormously
that negro troops are not able to sup
port the strain of bombardment.
There certainly have been instances
In which a company of Senegalese.
when all It's white offices have been
picked off by German sharpshooters,
has hesitated during an advance, but
this was merely because they did not
know what to do. Douaumont, the
oatIle OF the Alsne, the Somme Of
fensive, the attack at Laffaux Mill
and the defense Of Craonne and the
California and Classmates plateau
have all been scenes of the heroic
courage of the negro troops under
fire Of the most terrific char
acter.
A battalion of Senegalese stationed
on the spot where the village of
Fleury, had once stood on the Verdun
front, during the heaviest of the
lighting there, made an ADVANCE
during which their flank reached al
most Of the fort Of Douaumont. Then
they wakes into an enfilading fire
from dozen of German machine guns.
The French commander, Captain
Chauvin, ordered his men to storm
the machine gun positions. The Ger
