ENFORCED SEPARATION
OF RACES is ILLEGAL

Washington, Nov. 5.-Compulsory
separation of the Negro and white
races in residential districts is vio-
lation of the constitution, the su-
preme court held today in unani-
nous opinion declaring invalid the
Louisville, KY, segregation ordin-
ance. The measure, which prohibited
persons of either race moving into
blocks in which a majority of resi-
dents were of the opposite color, is
similar to ordinances now in effect
in st. Louis, Baltimore, Richmond and
many other southern cities.
Such laws, the court decided, would
not prevent the amalgamation of the
races, as was claimed by the Louis
vile authorities, or prevent race con-
flicts.
Desirable as this is and important
as is the preservation of the public
peace, said the opinion, this aim
can not be accomplished by laws or
ordinances which deny rights created
or protected by the federal constitu-
ton
Laws providing for the separation
of races in public conveyances and in
the public schools, where equal privi-
leges ar given, the court pointed out,
have been upheld, but it asserted that
such legislation must have its limita-
tions and can not be sustained where
the exercise of authority exceeds the
restraints of the constitution.
The courts action was a reversal of
tAe lower court, which held the ordin-
ance to be a reasonable exercice OF
the state police powers.

MISLEADING STATEMENT.

~HE commissioning of 6S4 colored
aspirants for officers positions,
Il all of them graduates of the
"colored Plattsburgh" at Fort Des
Moines, is at once the wisest and
most just action twoards the colored
people the Wilson administration has
taken since it first assumed office.
that Negro troops serve well only un-
der white officers. This is partly be-
cause very few colored officers have
been commissioned, so that there have
been few tests. The conduct of the
Tenth Cavalry under it's lieutenant
colonel, Young, a colored graduate of
Yves Point, during the Villa campaign,
after the disability of Col. Dodd, ought
to be a final answer to those who
doubt the ability of colored men to
lead, to say nothing of the magnifi-
cent performances of colored French
troops in France. AS matter of
fact, we believe that the best leaders
for colored soldiers are colored men,
and we expect these colored officers
to reflect the greatest credit upon
their race and their country wherever
their service may lead them. The
commissioning of them is the more
welcome because the drafted colored
men have not had square deal. The
boasted equality and democracy of
the draft law broke down in practice
at the color line. If our reports are
correct, only a portion of the young
colored men eligible for the draft
have been called out in certain south
ern states. Here in the north they
are only now being sent to the can
tonments.-The Nation.

Camp Grant, Rockford, ILL.,,
Oct. 20. All of the 300 officers
at Camp Grant know today the
treatment they must accord col
ored troops, who start coming in
to this cantonment today. Ma
jor-General Thomas H. Barry,
who called every officer before
him yesterday, said race troubles
in the army generally result from
inexperience, and that trouble
usually is brought to a head by
some epithet APPLIED by white
men to the blacks. He said it
was not the color of the mans
skin that counted, but their
hearts. There are. some white
men with block hearts, ;" Major
General Barry said, in warning
the officers that colored troops
must be accorded the same treat
ment as whites.

THE NEGRO AND THE
PRESENT CRISIS

odd cents.
Those who know what it costs to
train white boys and girls in the pub
lie schools, from elementary to uni
versity grade, will appreciate how lit
tie training the Negro is receiving to
prepare himself to become an efficient
citizen in a democracy.
PATIENCE AND LOYALTY.
Negro leaders stand together as one
man on the question of loyalty to the
country in the present crisis. They
are everywhere telling the masses OF
colored people to be patient, very pa
tient They believe that God will
soften the hearts of men and make
justice prevail They are urging the
common people, however, to make big
sacrifices to secure education, for
they believe that education will win
for them far more than charity or leg
islation
Negro masses still stand sorely in
need of adequate school training.
They are unorganized in their rural
isolation as farmers or farm laborers.
They believe in the white man who
shows even slight, unselfish inter-
est in them. They are extremely con-
servative and "long-headed." They
have rare sixth sense and sense
danger easily.
To those who know some of the
deeper thoughts of the ablest Negro
leaders and realize how many are the
handicaps and hardships of the Negro
masses, it is not surprising that un-
rest. which comes as the result OF
fear,-fear that property may be des-
troyed or that life may be taken by a
lawless mob,-should prevail and that
thousands of Negroes, good as well as
Indifferent or worthless, should move
into communities where wages seem
to be high and where there seems to
be more protection for life and prop
erty.
In the light of these facts, it is
scarcely necessary to introduce the
German agent to explain Negro dis
satisfaction. Those who have known
| Negroes for years and years and have
had the opportunity of sharing the
confidence of their leaders, have inn
plicit belief in the Negroes loyalty.
Those who know Negroes-rank
and file as well as leaders-scout the
rumors that German agents have, or
have had, any appreciable influence
| among American Negroes.
The German agent is a unit in a
complex organization. He deals best
with those who are organized or can
control organizing forces. The Negro,
while highly gregarious, does not be-
come a unit in an organization that
stands for anarchy, for disloyalty to
Church or State, or for any rene
grade purpose.-Wm. Anthony Aery.

New York City. Officials of

rar, So years old, who was as
saulted by soldiers at Mineola, l..
l. Oct. 18th. The soldiers were
from Alabama and objected to
riding in the same coach with
Farrar and fellow porter named
Treadway. Farrar had recently
left the hospital and was still suf-
fering from lumbago, and could
not get out when roughly driven
from the coach. He lost
one eye from a bayonet stab, and
is in the hospital. Leading citi-

NEGRO SOLDIERS
CITED FOR VALOR
TROOPS FROM BRITISH So
MAITLAND PROVE BRAV-
ERY AS THEY FIGHT
FOR VALOR.

French Front, Nov. 3.-Two
hundred and sixty-four personal
citations for bravery have been
won by the Negro soldiers in a
single Somali battalion since it
landed in France in June, 1916.
Of these citations, 100 were
gained in the fierce battles in the
vicinity of the Aisne and the re-
mainder in the neighborhood of
Verdun.
The Somalis, many of whom
were recruited in British, Somali
in British Somali land, are very
Independent in character and find
the discipline of an organized
army severe. Their French Off
GERS, however, are accustomed to
deal with these freedom loving
tribesmen and, by appealing to
their pride of race and their self
respect, obtain their devoted
obedience to such an extent that
they rapidly become excellent
soldiers.
These men learn to handle
modern infantry weapons quick
ly and furnished many special
lists in the grenade-throwing,
rifle and machine gun section of
French regiments, for the men
are of high intelligence and are
full of natural initiative valuable
adiuncts in these branches of
fighting while at handgrenade
throwing they are second to none
in the army.
Meticulously clean of habit,
the Somalis, who are strict Mo-
hammedans, never touch wine
or alcohol. In fact, they look on
any man given to intoxication
with the greatest disdain. They
are self-sacrificing to a degree,
as was evidenced during their at
tack on La Bovelle, when they
had to clear out the shelters in a
trench which they had just cap
tured and which were still full of
Germans who had taken refuge
there from the bombardment.
One. of their European SER
geants was about to enter a dug
out known to be full of armed
enemies, when he was pushed
aside by Somali private, with
the exclamation Let me go first.
You are q married man."
A widely prevalent fallacy has
charged the Negroes with savag-
cry against their captives. Their
officers say this charge has been
disproved time and again after
fights at Verdum, in Champagne
and North of the Aisne. The
Associated Press correspondent
saw Negro troopers bringing in
patches of prisoners after bat
tie at La Bovelle, when a French
artilleryman approached them to

With these loyal words Dean Kelly
Miller of Howard University recently
closed his address before conference
which Dr. P. p Claxton, U. S. Com
missioner of Education, had called in
Washington to discuss DR.. Thomas
Jesse Jones' report on Negro Educa-
tion"-a study of the private and high
er schools for colored people in the
United States.
Dean Miller is an able Negro lead
era man who has a keen and we'll
trained mind, wide expert nee, and
accurate knowledge of white people.
Those who wish to know what rep
resentative Negro leaders themselves
think will be interested in Dean Mil
ler's other remarks:
Leaders of the Negro race must
be as well qualified as white leaders.
"There is one formula for race ad-
justment 1t is the law of the road:
Keep to the Right Patriotism is the
chief aim of education"
That Negroes want more and better
schools is shown, for example, in the
case of 10000 Negroes in Texas who
recently gave, during a single month,
$4,000 for educational work.
Principal Mamie H Burroughs, who
represents an army of colored Bap-
tist women and is at the head of
large girls school. in Washington, D.
c.. in her recent analysis of Lynch
ing and Negro Unrest" said:
Nothing remains to be done but
to make and administer adequate laws

white children to respect the laws OF
our land and to have correct esti-
mate of the value of human life.
Let all Americans remember that one
race cannot hate another without it.

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
At the recent New Orleans meet
ing of the National Association of
Teachers in Colored Schools the NE
gro Exodus" was the liveliest subject
discussed. An editorial writer in the
Southern Workman published by
Hampton Institute), says:
Speakers from the affected dis
tricts all over the South told why peo-
pie were leaving their sections.
Some of the reasons given as the
causes were lack of proper consider
alton; poor school facilities; extreme
ly low wages and inadequate housing
conditions; a desire for franchise;
and a growing eagerness for the
common, everyday justice accorded
to American citizens"
