German Spy Was In Harrison.

German Spy Was In Harrison.
 During last November there was an old man giving his name as J. c. Jack. son and his home as Laketon, Pa, tramped into Harrison, stating he was on 1700 mile hike from his home in the east to Oklahoma City, quoting his age at 78 years. He said he was a veteran of the civil war and was de- voting the declining years of his life to preaching on the highways and by ways and distributing tracts, and sell ing a post card of himself not because he needed the money but rather for the good of the cause i'll which he was en- listed. He said he did not need money and never took up collection.
 He visited the Headlight office and told us the story of his life briefly, sold us one of his souvenir post cards of himself and had us strike some of his tracts for which he carried an electrotype. He spent two or three days about Harrison and we have no doubt but many of his pictures could be found around town now.
 We'll, according to letter received by the Headlight Monday from Sam Moore, who went to Ft. Smith to join the navy. this self-same guy was arrest ed few days ago in Oklahoma as a German spy, and instead of being the aged veteran that he posed to be and which he looked to perfection, he was found to be young man. His journey through the country, stopping as he did at farm houses and going through the interior region, was to study con- ditions of the people in order to inform the German government what they would have to contend with in the event of war. r.-Harrison Headlight.

The Des MONIES Camp

Word reaches us that more
than twelve hundred young col
ored men at the Officer 3 Training
Camp, Des Moines, Iowa, are
measuring up to the requirements.
This causes no surprise to those
colored people; it is but what was
familiar with the character of the
TO be expected. What he has
needed and what he has all along
demanded is the opportunity to
show his mettle. Colored men are
not unlike other people in those
essentials that go to make for
true manhood and citizenship.
While we rejoice at the oppor-
tunity that is thus offered us to
prepare ourselves for the duties
and privileges we demand, we are
by no means fully satisfied with
the provision made. We contend
that those men, possible officers
Of the United States Army, should
not be segregated in a camp SO
far away from their homes when
the same government they serve

MUSIC OF SAVAGE TRIBES.
Regimental Songs of CoIored Soldiers
Quickly Learned by Natives.

recent number of the Garteniaube
(Berlim contains an interesting nc
count of the music improvised among
savage tribes. 1t is these improviza-
tons on the spur of the moment from
which the truest idea of the native
music can be obtained, since the quick
ear of the Negro enables him to catch
European melodies from chance con.
facts, and these rapidly pervade the
country and pass from group to group,
says the American Review of Reviews.
We have long known that Negroes
have a particular prediction for mu-
sic. They sing all the time, every
where, apropos of everything. 1t is in
deed of very great interest to observe
how the art of song aids a race which
can neither read nor write to preserve
the memory of certain events. Thus
there was composed at Stanley Falls
few years ago song called 80 La
pembe," in honor of the major then
resident. AS surely and as rapidly as
the most popular of our own refrains
this song spread over the whole extent
Of the great empire and today the
farthest echoes resound with its &C
cents.
,t is becoming very diffiau to recog-
nize native airs with gertrude. When
the colored soldiers return to their
homes they carry the regimental tunes
with them. and their fellow citizens
Immediately learn these and repeat
them necessarily. There is scarcely
any occasion when the white man can
seize upon an authentic Improvisation
except when one Is made in his own
honor while on the march.
AT certain moment the Negro pos
sessed of the most vigorous voice,
whether 1t rings true or not. COM
Eences recitatif, broken at intervals
by refrains chanted in chorus by the
entire caravan. The European who
conducts the caravan Is the hero Of the
song. and no eulogy is adjudged too
magnificent for him.
II he is a man of gentleness and
peace he hears himself praised as a
formidable warrior who has slain hun
dreds of thousands OF men. II he is

lossal giant. If he has killed a few
wild beasts he is acclaimed as a Gar

The wonder is that a man so able
as President Wilson. and at the
same time sincere, can be so keen
for justice and humanity and
righteousness in all quarters out
side the boundaries of the United
States, and so blind. or at least
SO silent. in regard to the viola
ton here at home Of these great
rules OF public conduct.
