NEGRO TROOPS FIGHT BRAvELY
IN FRANCE.
SomaIis Make Good Record in a Num-
Der of Fights on Western Front.

French Front, Oct. 5.-(By Mail.)-
Two hundred and sixty-four personal
citations for bravery have been won
by the Negro soldiers of single
Somali battalion since it landed in
France in June, 1916. OF these cita-
lions 1870 were gained in the fierce
battles in the vicinity of the Aisne
and the remainder in the neighbor-
hood of Verdun.

ceilent soldiers. These men learn to
handle modern infantry weapons
quickly and furnish many specialists
in the grenade throwing, rifle and ma
chine gun sections of French regi-
ments, for the men are of very high
intelligence and are full of natural
initiative-very valuable adjuncts in
