Gen. Joffre sat in the Supreme Court
of the u. S. when the Louisville
Segregation case was being argued.
They know that the leading Negroes
who attended the hearing were not
allowed to eat in the public dining
room in the Capitol. They want to
know whether this All-American pro-
gram includes or excludes the Negro
Above all, they want friends at court
in this trying hour. They want
Congressman Schall and all red
blooded Representatives to do their
sworn duty. They expect those Negro
haters from the Southland and their
Northern colleagues, who barter
pork barrel patriotism, to strip from
the Negro every human right and It
possible reduce him to worse than his
former bondage.

NEGROES SPECIALLY IDEN.
Titled BY GOVERNMENT
REGISTRATION.

IF person is of African descent,
tear off this corner" This statement
appears on a lower corner of the U.
S. registration card for selective draft
service. Why such special considera-
ton should be given persons of
African descent, is causing much
comment. Negroes should not worry.
If this is to deny them the privilege
of war service, they must await the
inevitable under a policy of watchful
waiting" Such discrimination
will prove a boomerang to the South
ern wing of the Administration. If
the Negroes are drafted for the farm,
they cannot avoid service and will
make the best of it. 1t is probable
that they may be called later for war
service, and will have greater share
and honor in their .Country's defense
than those who planned to deny them
that right. There are more than ~
million persons of African descent
within the confines of the United
States and its Insular possessions.
They are willing to do their Bit" but
are not wanted now. While party
politics is being played and proven
patriots like Roosevelt must fight
for a chance to serve their Country;
it is more than foolish to expect that
a Democratic administration will re-
gard the rights of black men. Ne
groes should be consoled with the
knowledge that There is a Divinity
that shapes our ends" and it will
come to pass that the stone which
the builders rejected has become the
keystone of the arch. Remember the
words of Harriet Tubman, the Negro
abolutionist, to Frederick Douglass;
GOD is not dead"

Returning the
Battleflags

IN q number Of occasions the news.
~ papers have announced the re,
turn to the survivors of the Con.
federacy Of flags which were captured
during the war between the states
The passing Of more than fifty years
since the close Of that tremendous
struggle has quenched the animosities
which 1t had engendered, and the peo
pie Of the north have many times
stretched forth q fraternal hand to
the people of the south. The hand
has been grasped in the same spirit in
which it was extended, but there have
been rather few instances where cap
tured northern flags have been return
ed to the survivors of the Union cause
Now comes an inspiring Illustration
of the growth Of this spirit Of fraterni
ty on the part Of the boys who wore
the gray. Recent dispatches announced
the return Of the battle torn flag of
the Seventy-sixth Ohio Volunteer in.
fantry, which was captured in a
sanguinary engagement at Ringold
Gap, Ga. The Ohio regiment held its
annual reunion at Newark, and one of
the pleasing features of the occasion
was the presentation to the regiment
Of the captured flag.
There Is not an American worthy of
the name who will not feel warmer
thrill Of Americanism as he hears of
such instances as this, which set new
seal upon the reunion of the once d.
vided sections. The bitterness which
was aroused by the action of President
Cleveland when his first official act
was an attempt to return to the ex-
Confederates some captured battle
flags has long since died away. That
was thirty-two years ago, genera
ton Of human life, and opinions have
undergone a most gratifying change
during those years. There Is no dis
honor in these exchanges Of fraternal
amenities, which should 60 on until
the last vestige Of intersectional feel
ing has been wiped out. The time
must come when there will be no more
trophies Of the victory Of one sec
don Of Americans over another.

A Truly American Day

An English officer viewing the cere-
monies Of Memorial day turned to a
Chicago mayor and thus remarked:
mot in all Europe Is there a cere-
mony 80 impressive. Here it is not
only a beautiful tribute to brave men,
but commemorative Of the fact that
the country passed through great
crisis and was saved, disproving the
worlds assertion that a republic could
not live. The healing of that breach
made America immortal, eternal. And
the sign of this Immortality is rose
bud, tenderly dropped upon a grave"

CONG. SCHALL INVESTIGATES
More Ratings for Negro Enlistment
in the Navy,

When it was generally known that
Negroes were wanted For Mess At
tendants only" at the Naval Recruit
ing Station in Minneapolis, the Editor
of the Star asked If that was "a
local or Federal order" and was &C
cused of Looking for trouble. The
matter was placed before our Con-
gresham, Thos. D. Schall and we re-
ceived the following reply:
Thomas d. Schall
10th Dist Minnesota
House OF REPRESENTATIVES.
May II, 1917.
Mr.. Charles Sumner Smith,
Minneapolis, MINI.
My dear Smith:
Rear Admiral Palmer advises me that
the enlistment of Negroes Is open in the
rating of mess attendants, COOK and
steward. for qualified men. Men who are
experienced firemen and have the neces-
sary physical development may also en-
list as firemen second or third class Inc
Bureau states that they appreciate the
patriotism Of the Negroes; suggest, how
ever, that there Is more need for col
ored rgiments, as the navy Is what rs
receiving over attention at present, Whlle
the army Is not coming up In such large
percent as Is the navy.
Does this answer the question you
asked me?
Your friend,
A. Thos. D. Schall.
There are many subterfuges by
which Negroes cannot have the
necessary physical development" but
they are assured of the privilege of a
trial. Cong. Schall cannot change
the discrimination program of the
Navy department now, but he has
done. much for the Negroes. The
Bureau of Navigation suggests that
"there is need for colored regiments"
We will have "colored" regiments
and The Star suggests that Rear Adj
miral Palmer show his practical ap-
probation of the Negroes by. re-
cognition of the Negroes of the Dan
ish Islands, our latest acquisitions,
many of whom are efficient in every
branch of naval service, also by CIV
ing American Negroes a chance to
demonstrate their patriotism as other
/. American citizens. Cong. Schall has
shown that the local recruiting sta
ton denied us the ratings allowed
Negroes by the Bureau, and it is
proven that 1t. Com>,r. Wilson, of
st. Paul, Naval Reserve officer, is
responsible for the local order Ne
groes who want to enlist in these
ratings should apply now.
We. have inquired, eff the orders
were local or Federal" The Negroes
know that the great patriotic parade
in Congress was halted long enough
for Cong. Vinson of good old
Georgia to read into the Record his
bill to Jim-Crow the Negroes in the
District of Columbia. They hear that

BUNDRANT'S VOLUNTEERS.

The members who have enrolled
under J. w. Bundrant, have not been
drilled and even a temporary organ
ization has not been effected. If these
volunteers do not get in before con-
scription begins they will not be
rated as volunteers. Mr.. Bundrant
has had every support, but failed as
an organizer: He will have divi-
sion in the Memorial Day Parade,
but parading is abstract patriotism.
The military honor of the Negro
citizens depends on the volunteers
1t is hoped Mr.. Bundrant may yet
make good, and every assistance will
be given him. He has not made a
good impression among the boys and
it takes a popular man to organize.
1t is up to Mr.. Bundrant to organ
ize Now or Never.
