SEATTLE'S COLORED SOLDIERS

tnat Will leave the same day Tor American
Lake to join the cantonment at Camp
Lewis to train for the trenches in Europe
When this cantonment has it's full compile
ment Of colored troopers they will number
in the neighbOrhood Of thirty-seven thou
sand and when all of the environments have
their full complement Of cOlOred soldiers
there will be something like sixty thou
sand colOred soldiers in the service, and,
If the war does not come to a speedy close
as is being predicted at this time, we sus-
pect, that before another twelve months
have passed five times that number will
be in the service If the present war con-
tinues, sentiment will play very small
part in getting soldiers for the front and
the black man will be just as acceptable as
the white man and in many instances more
so. Our advice to the colored men going
to war is that they do their duty, their
whole duty and nothing but their duty,
forgetting previous differences and mis-
understandings, and leaving all FRACTIONAL
racial troubles to be settled by us too old
to go to war You fight for your flag as
did your sires in the previous wars, in
which this country has from time to time
been engaged, and in which they played
not only conspicuous, but commendable
parts. God hates coward and Stacker
is nothing but a damn dirty coward and
it matters not what the color of his skin
may be. Our fathers made themselves
famous at the battle of New Orleans, at
Fort Pillow and at Fort Gibson, at Mobile
and Chicamaugua and in short in all of
the battles they have taken part they gave
good account Of themselves. At Ell
Caney they bore the brunt Of the Spanish
fire and yet stormed their strong holds and
captured them behind their own breast
works. Your father and my father were

A WAR REMEDY

Rochester. n. Y, Jan. l. 1917.
Editor Salem Capital Journal: After
the war what Most likely a defensive
alliance for all the European states will
be the outcome of this last great war
among them. a certain section of
these warning nations who trusted in
the power of might TO conquer and
rule all the world, as well as the re-
naming ones who believed only less IN
the power of arms and ornaments, will
thus be led to see that the brother
hood of man is the basic principle of all
permanent peace.
Awful as the present experience in
Europe is, it has probably hastened by
hundreds of years the universal ac-
acknowledgement and adoption of the
principle that right, not might, is the
best law for the welfare of nations.
Then why prolong (two and one third
wears carnage has been decisive of
nothlng) an unnecessary and use less
conflict, that can only result in the eX-
hauston Of these self same powers and
the century long misery of the great
masses of all these peoples? II a new
Hague conference were to sit cOntinu-
ously until the peoples of these coun-
tries compelled their rulers to submit
their differences to its decisions, peace
might come sooner than anyone would
imagine. What greater role could Am
erica have than to be the first to take
this decisive step, and work for it in
cessantly until its fulfillment. came!
