In administering the oath of enlist

mastering them into the service Of the
United States for the period of this
training camp, l wish to say a few
serious words TO you regarding your
work here and its consequences.
The course of training that you will
be required to take is the result of the
study, experience and judgment of the
best military minds in America and
Europe. Not one detail has been pre-
scribed without careful consideration.
Tou have the great advantage of num-
se1.1g among you large number OF
the most experienced and best non
commissioned officers Of the regular
army, who will afford the ineXperl-
enced constant assistance by their eX-
ample of soldierly department and pro-
cedure. Your instructors are selected
officers of the regular army, of excep-
tional qualifications for their work.
But these men cannot carry you on
their shoulders to success. Success, If
achieved, must result from your own
zeal, your own intelligence, your own
industry, your own behavior and char
acter.
desire further to impress every
candidate here present with the fact
that this is momentous hour, and
that the establishment Of this camp
is an epochal and unprecedented event
in the history Of the colored race. You
have been summoned here to demon
strate your fitness for citizenship by
your ability to learn to discharge the
highest and most important duty of
that citizenship-the defense Of the
rights and liberties of your country.
would impress upon each and
every one of you the serious reflection
on your race that will necessarily TO-
low your failure in this crucial test,
and the far-reaching results that will
flow from your success.
Your race will be OF trial, with you
as it's representatives, during the ex-
istence Of this training camp, and to
succeed there will be required of you
strong bodies, keen intelligence, abso-
lutte obedience to orders, unfagging
industry, exemplary con:ac; and char
acter of the highest order. In striv-
ing for that success you will be full
filing your obligation to yourselves,
to the colored race, and, above all, to
our beloved country.
