THE RACE AND THE ARMY.

A year ago Congress voted
to increase the regular army.
1t was generally expected that
some recognition would be
given the colored citizen. SO
far as the artillery arms of the
service are concerned nothing
was expected, because the
black man has always been
barred from the coast and
field artillery But when the
number of infantry regiments
was increased from 80 to IS.
1t was naturally expected that
at least two or three of these
IS new regiments of infantry
would be colored. The Act
of Congress authorizing the
increase of the regular army
provided for the completion
of the increases in FIVE annual
increments, but On account of
our participation in the war
the President has been author
lied to organize all of the new
regiments Immediately.
Not only has the black SOL
dier been ignored in the for
nation of these new regiments
for the regular army. but
word has come from Washing
ton that our famous Secretary
of War, Mr.. Baker has gone
ION record against the forma-
tion OF any additional colored
regiments. AT the present
time there are only four colo
ed regiments in the regular
army-two of cavalry and two
OF infantry. We as a race
have never had our proper
tionate share of representa-
tlon in the army. The policy
OF the present Administration
deliberately to ignore either
race in the increases now au
thorized will reduce our per
censaRe of representation to a
much lower point than ever.
The Administration, includ
ing our eminent Secy. of War
has decided that in the pres
ent expansion of the regular
army the black man is not
worthy of consideration. AS
this conclusion has doubtless
been influenced by the expert
opinion of the great military
strategist. like Hoke Smith
and K. Vardamann, thereis
nothing for the layman to do
but to bow to the masterful in
tellects that stand out so
prominently at Washington.
Far be it from us to question
their wisdom. All we wish to
do is to suggest in a very
meek and humble way that a
few more colored regiments
IN our regular army might
some dav prove an asset to
the nation. just as those al
ready in the service have
proved in the past.--N. Y.

WHY THEY LEAVE THE

colored men of all classes and
conditions are leaving the
South wholesale, let them con
suit their leaders. The lie is
point blank and venomous
which says they thereby hope
to avoid conscription. They,
too, are wrong who say that
h e lure of higher wages

ington, as VIM. ]. Schieffelin
pointed out in Sundays Times
was right when he declared it
was because, for the most
part, they do not think they
can get a square deal in the
South. From the heart of
mob ridden Dixie this letter
just received from a discourag
ed successful colored editor
speaks volumes of truth:
Conditions and the high
state of prejudice has compel
ed the discontinuance of the
Albany Era. We are facing
conditions more serious than
any man not in close touch
with affairs can understand.
The Southern colored man
has handicaps which he-can-
not explain in public and re-
main in the South. There is
no heart in the white South
save money. The biggest
war we can hight right now is
to move more than half the
colored population to other
sections. This war is for the

give US a sane South.
The whole industrial system
of the South rests on Negro

wages and the best education

have noticed that every
unjust law is being enacted
and every inhuman course to
prevent their leaving h e
South. Wages are SO low
that they can barely get the
necessities of life. The en-
ployers are paying no money,
to prevent them from having
money to pay their transporta
ton to other sections. l have
decided that l could add my
bit in this war by locating in
some Northern section and

l would greatly appreciate
your opinion ON this subject

to remove the prop which has

why the colored people are
