THE COLORED TROOPS

We understand that the war
department has decided to train
the drafted colored men - those
Americans whose registration
cards were torn off at the corner
at the various environments and
then mobilize them into a distinct
division by themselves. Of course
the commander, brigade and reg
mental officers, or at least the
most of the latter, will be white
men drawn from the regular ar
my. A few majors and all of the
company officers will be supplied
from the more than a thousand
colored men who have been in
training at De Moines for the
past three months.
Under the circumstances, this
is not much worse than we had
hoped. IN fact, it is even better
than some of us expected. Ger
tainly, it is more than we would
receive if certain influences at
work had prevailed. Many loud
mouth patriots there are who
would prefer to lose this war
without the colored man assist
ance than to win it with his help.
They would denominate it a
white man S war" rather than
an American War"
To be fair, however, we must
admit that there are few, if any,
us who possess the train
ing and experience to command a
brigade or even regiment. That
it is not our fault makes II none

their number lieutenants, cap
tains and even majors, the oppor.
tunity will be offered, to disprove
that oft repeated SANDER of white
men that Negroes make good
soldies only when Differed by
white men"
1t is never to be understood that
we favor, or even cease to object
to, separations on racial lines in
public service. We are now, and
always shall be, opposed to such
distinctions between citizens. But
if there is to be a separation, if
colOred men are to be segregated
in ever SO small a unit, we prefer
to have them all put together in
the biggest unit of which their
combined numbers will admit. 1t
is thus they will best demonstrate
to their detractors the absolute
fallacy and injustice of any sep
aration at all.
And so, under the circumstan-
ces only, we welcome the decision
Of the war department to organ
ize a Brunette Division. We
entertain no doubt Of the report
they will give of themselves. As
the Milwaukee Sentinel recently
expressed it: "ThOse who know

in which colored troops were
tried out in battle, tell us to take
note of Uncle Sans Brunettes

IMMENSE SUM IS WON AFTER
 { YEAR FIGHT
Grubstake Suit Makes Fortune For Portland Attorney Who Kept at Case Recently Decided in
 Favor of Mrs. Helm

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. &O.- (By Special Cowcspondence) ).JWilson T.. Hume has become independently rich for he will substantially participate in a Sl2,OOO,OOO judgment in the Mrs. Ella M. Helm grubstake case, settled in San Francisco yesterday Mir. Hume, former district attorney here and former city attorney of Nome, fought the ease for the past seven years on contingent fee basis.
 Ios these seven years Hume has been fighting the Nimball Steamship company, the Pioneer Mining company and thc Alaska Commercial comaaHy, who were vitally interested. These three concerns are among the biggest syndicatcs in the northland.
 Mrs. Helm and Jerry Wilson were old friends when, in 1898, Wilson was broke and Mrs. Helm grubstalied him with S5lOU and sent him to Alaska in the days of the rush to see what nc could accomplish. That was the time of the stampede and Wilson got in early and staked 75 claims, about 20 of which were very rich. He had claims staked out on all the most im- portant @creeks which made mining history. Wilson, however, did not tote fair with his longtime friend and benefactor, Mrs. Helm, it is alleged, and wrote to her that he had been unsuccessful and needed more sup port. Mrs. Helm concluded that she had made a bad investment with her glubstake and time passed.
 Up in Alaska, Wilson T. Hume, the PortIandcr was much in the public eye and he knew what was going on. He knew Jerry Wilson and Wilson's claims and when they were worked and what they were producing. He also knew Wilson's associates in working these claims. Wilson's asso- ciates were the Kimball Steamship company, the Pioneer Mining com oany and the Alaska Commercial company To these concerns Wilson represented that he owned the claims himself, making no mention of the grubstake agreement with Mrs. Helm, of Oakland, California.
 It is estimated that $25,OOO,OOO has been taken from the claims which be- came possible through the $5OOO grub stake Years after Jerry Wilson went north and wrote the alleged deceiv- np letters of failure to Mrs. Helm, the woman learned of Wilson's sue cess. Mrs. Helm consulted many law vers who told her she had no chance of winning against her grubstake partner because she had permitted too many years to elapse. Eventually she met Wilson r. Hume, then living i'm San Francisco. Hume knew Jerry Wilson and his associates and was familiar with the history of the min ing operations. In 1910 Hume began the fight to recover for Mrs. Heim one-half of all the gold that had been
