negroes at Camp Gordon are the only
southern soldiers left there, except
the officers of the U. S r., all of
whom are Southern.
The negroes have taken to soldier
life in fine spirit and their officers
are proud of them. Several young
southern boys after trying out the
foreigners" sent here from eastern
states filed applications to be trans
ferred to the command of negro
troops, where they find that they can
get along vastly better with the dark
les than with the conglomeration of
Americans, near-Americans and hy-
phenated Americans who replaced
the drafted white men of the three
