We We're struck not long ago
by the hope expressed in the
Chicago Defender that the war
would continue long time. The
Defender is edited very ably by
negroes and is devoted TO the up
iii Of their race. The hope arose
from the possibilities the war
opens for The advancement Of the
negro. ~ the difficulties of the
nation increase and its popula-
ton Is ,leclmatcd by war. the
negro becomes important and
necessary. II III goes forth to
fight. hi, seryi,e must he re-
rrlNed and appreciated on the
plane Of those of the white man.
In Europe, where no color line
has been fixed by years Of preju-
dice. the negro soldier Mill be
honorr1 as III deserves. and We
fancy that after some months Of
comradc>hip the white soldiers
Will return 10 this country With
"A much higher standard Of re-
gard for their colurcd brother, at
arms. We have only to go back
t" HE records of the Spanish war
to learn HAT the American negro
Was Il most satisfactory soldier
with all the qualities necessary
to Il fighting man. There have
been few negro slackers thus far,
The Defenders view that the Wal
open, Il WHY to the negro to
prove his value /, sound. and We
hope that all opportunities will
be extended to him.
