RECRUIT ALL The RACES.

An educated Blackfeet Indian APP
peals publicly to the president to re-
cruit armies of Indians to defend the
Mexican border while the eSulars and
white soldiers are in Europe and he
promises $4,000 men trained to the sad
die if only the Indian can have full
citizenship.
1t seems that the war department
at Washington is worried about the
problem of the races in the formation
of it's conscripted army. In order to
keep away from the many demands OF
states and localities to group their men
in companies. regiments and divisions
the men come the department is very
foolishly trying to apply an unvaryins
rule to all races of men. The draft
is to conscript the individual and group
him as democratically as his ballots
are counted, theoretically. ...
Red tape as bureaucratic system is
termed, will lead to almost any alb
surdity. There are $4,000 Indians in
the United States and possibly $4,000
of them are of military age available
for draft There are 100000 negroes
and 100000 have registered. When
the men are drawn there may be 5000
Indians and 10000 negroes in the new
army. They ought to be grouped in
units of their own kind. There is no
good reason for asking white men to
bunk with Indians and negroes and
Mexicans and Japs in the army than in
industry. We should have our regi-
ments of negroes and our regiments OF
Indians, our regiments OF Filipinos, OIL
Hawaiians, of Porto Ricans and or
Japs, 1t would not be necessary to
place but they could have their separ-
ate regimental units. The Indians and
negroes would be especially fitted for
duty along the Mexican border but 1t
would not be wise to have SO many OF
them there that they could become
menace if instruction or racial riotins
should break out among them.
There has been some fear about
arming negroes in great numbers put
that fear is groundless. Negro troops
in the regular army have given loyal
service. They were effective in the
civil war and would be serviceable in
France. The army offers less of sac
rifice in economic station to the aver
age negro than to the average white
hence would be more attractive TO
him barring the danger on which there
would be absolute equality as life is as
dear to the black man as to the White
but the negro soldier Is no coward
Our war department should recruit all
the negroes and Indians who can be
secured in the regular way. They
should march and fight in units OF their
own kind but those units should be so
absorbed in the general armies as to
eliminate all danger of race riots or
instruction among them. The chances
are that there is very little danger
of that anyway. If Roosevelt were
secretary of war there would be more
common sense and less red tape in the
proceedings governing the army.

GREAT LEADERS.
[Des Moines Register.]

| Leaders lead when they happen I'd
voice the great purpose OF the people
But would that purpose ever be voiced
or at least be adequately voiced, ii II
! were not for the men who are able tc
divine what is going on in the public
mind and give it expression? So many
movements of great pith and moment
are turned awry because nobody seems
to be able to focus them, and bring
them to conclusion.
How does it happen that this war,
which began in controversy, the real
merit of which has never been deter
mined, has SO suddenly become world
conflict for freedom and democracy?
Were the world currents set that way
and was the shift inevitable? Or have
the leaders taken advantage of the
W orld turmoil to turn the tide into new
channels, and in Russia. in England, in
France and in America to commit us
anew to the larger hope for mankind
Is Lloyd George the expression OF
England or is England following Lloyd
George? Is the kaiser the expression of
Germany or is Germany following the
kaiser? Is Wilson the expression OF
America or is America following VIII
son?
We may be thankful for our great
leaders. The world might have won lib
erty without Washington and gained
freedom for the oppressed without Lin
coin. This war might have turned the
world to democracy without Lloyd
George, or Wilson or Kerensky. But
we are profoundly grateful for Wash
ington and Lincoln, and we shall be
just as profoundly grateful, if we fight
our way thru. for their successors in
our own day.
Never has a change taken place Of so
much Significance TO mankind as the
change from war over territory, and
commerce and ornaments, to war
over fundamental principles of govern
ment. Three years ago. and even two
years ago, this war meant territorial
Reimbursement of Europe. Today it
means reorganization of human So
ciety. Even Americans will come out of
this war with new appreciation of
their own message. and a new COM
niitment to their own ideals
Is it matter of leadership. or is
it ground swell Of human progress
Or is it a combination of both, a mighty
popular impulse adequately interpret
ed by the men who hold the center of
the stage and whose voices come as
voices of authority?
