Riots calls sent in to police headquar- ters brought a large number of police men to the scene but the crowd of whites was by this tlme so great that the officers were totally powerless to check the wild demonstrations and were in many cases, themselves sub jected to severe handling at the hands of the angry whites.
 The battle between the negroes and whites continued until the arrival of three companies of militiamen ended the demonstration.
 The troops succeeded in dispersing the mob but further trouble is feared and additional troops have been sent for to prevent further conflict.

The institution is distinctly a home for children who have been deprived of all parental care and support. In as much as the Davison children are not exactly in this category, their ad- mission is purely a favor granted the local lodge and rests upon no obliga- gation whatever.

States to invade foreign soil, for
already seasoned veterans of the
Twenty-ffth Infantry are Some
where in France" and jubilant
over the prospects of seeing
trench life in the near future.
For several weeks reports have
been in circulation that Negro
soldiers had been sent with Cen
eral Pershing to France, but
nothing official ever has been
given out by the War Depart
ment relative to, the presence of
colored fighters across the sea.
The first definite information
that Negroes were members of
General Pershing's expidition was
secured last week when post
cards were received in many
cities in the United States by
friends of members of the Twen-
ty-ffth Infantry.
In most every instance the
writer tells of the cordial greet
ing given and of the good treat
ment being received. Judging
from the post cards the men are
in happy mood.
1t is said that General PERISH
ing has a high regard for colored
troopers. They helped him to
win name and fame in Mexico,
and he is said to be extremely
confident that the Negro soldier
will cut as prominent a figure in
France as at Carrizal and San

ment were discharged at the di-
rection of President Roosevelt no

showing that the men were real

RACE LEADER
ERSHIP AIM
FOR NEGRO

Des Moines, la. =" Uncle Sans
greatest experiment in the race
problem, is the characterization
given by Col. c. c. Ballou, COM
mandant of the Negro reserve
officers training camp at FIT.
Des Moines, to the effort being
made here to fit Negroes from all
over the United States for lead
ership of their own race. More
than 1900 Negroes have been in
training here for more than one
month, under exactly the same
conditions as white young men
are being trained in other camps
of the country for commissions
in the coming national army.
1t is planned to officer the Ne
gro regiments to be raised under
the selective draft largely with
men trained here. The regiments
are to be given white colonels
and majors, but the captains and
other commissioned officers of
lower rank are to be Negroes.
''The work here is more than
an effort to train Negro officers, ="
says Colonel Ballou. 1T is a
wonderful experiment in deter
mining whether or not the Ne
gro possesses qualities which fit
him to lead his own race in up
ward progress.
while we are training these
men for military leadership, this
training will be equally valuable
in civil life, and it is my belief
that some of the men who are
being instructed here will be-
come among the most prominent
workers in Negro welfare work
that the country has ever had. "
The men here were selected
upon basis of personal merit
from Negroes in almost every
state in the Union. Some 200 of
the men were picked from the
regular army regiments and most
of these men already have
shown their ability as leaders and
are holding the higher ranks in
the companies for training pur-
poses.
The Negro troopers have Gre
ated no trouble in Des Moines,
and, aside from one or two minor
due to efforts at segfe-
cation by local theater men,
there has been no race feeling
over the camp.
According to Colonel Ballou
the civilian recruits show re-
ability to acquire mill
tary knowledge and walk even
more diligently than the average
white recruit of the same class.
The Negroes are intensely in
earnest, and there haye been
practically no violations of camp
discipline.
