SONALIS GET 264 CITATIONS
 FOR BRAVERY IN BATTLE
Proud Tribesmen Prove Efficient Fighters, But Never Resort To
 SaVagery.

FRENCH POINT Nov. 2S-Two hun dred and sixty -four personal citations for bravery have been won by the negro soldiers of single Somalis bat talion since it landed in France in June 1916. Of these citations 190 were gained in the fel ce battles of the Aisne and the remainder about Verdun.
 The Somalis. many of whom were recruited in British Somaliland, are independent and find the discipline of an organized army severe. Their French officers, however, are accus- toned to deal with these freedom low ing tribesmen, and by appealing to their pride of race and their self-res- pect obtain their devoted obedience to such an extent that they rapidly become excellent soldiers. These men learn to handle modern infantry weap- ons quickly and furnish many specil- ists in the grenade throwing, rifle and machine gun sections of French regi- ments, for the men are of high intelli- gence and are full of natural initiative valuable adjuncts in these branches of fighting-while at hand grenade throwing they are second to none.
 Meticulously clean of habit, the So- mails, who are strict Mahometans, never touch alcohol In fact, they look on any man given to intoXication with the greatest disdain. They are self sacrificing to a degree, as was evi- denced during their attack on La Bo- velle, when they had to clear out the shelters in a trench which they had just captured, and which were still full of Germans who had taken refuge there One of their European ser geants was about to enter dugout known to be full of armed enemies, when he was pushed aside by So- mails private with the exclamation Let me go first! You are married"
 A widely prevalent fallacy has charged the negroes with savagery against their captives. Their officers say this charge has been disproved time and time again after fights at Yer dun, in Champagne and north of the Aisne.

 Notice to Prospective Immigrants
 Consular officers are also required 10 inform prospective immigrants Of the provisions of the new immigration act which prohibits the entrance into the United States Of certain classes of persons so that those who would be liable oexculsion on arrival may be informed of that possibility in advance and be saved from the unnecessary tourney and the inconveniences and hardships that would follow their ex- clusion. Consular officers are not, however, authorized to refuse to wise passports of prospective immigrants unless there are other reasons to jus tify such a refusal other than their liability to excluion under the immgra- tion act.
