Two hundred and sixty-four personal
citations for bravery have been won by
the negro soldiers Of a single Somali
battalion since it landed in France in
June, 1916. OF these citations 100 were
gained in the fierce, battles in the vici-
nifty Of the Aisne and the remainder in
the neiehhorhood of Y,rdun.
The Somalis many Of whom were
recruited In British Somaliland, are
very Independent in character and find
the discipline Of an organized army
very severe. Their French lofficehI,
however, are accustomed to deal with
these freedom flowing tribesmen and by
appealing to their pride of race and
their self respect obtain their devoted
obedience to such an extent that they
rapidly become excellent soldiers. These
men learn to handle modern infantry
weapons quickly and furnish many
specialists in the grenade-throwing
rifle and machine-gun sections of
French regiments, for the men are of
very high intelligence and are full of
natural initiatiye-very valuable adj
juncts in these branches OF fighting,
while at and-grenade throwing they
are second to none in the army.
The Scnalis, who are strict Mo-
hammedans never touch wine or alco-
hol. In fact, they look on any man CIV
en- to intoxication with the greatest
ldisdain. They are self-saertcing to
degree. as was evidenced during their
attack on La Bovelle. when they had
to clear out the shelters in trench
which they had just captured and
which were still full of Germans who
had taken refuge there from the bonn
bardment. One of their EuE,pean ser.
geants was about to enter dugout
known to BIZ full of armed enemies
when he was pushed aside by Somali
private with the exclamation, Let me
go first. You are a married man."
A widely prevalent fallacy has
charged the negroes with savagery
against their captives. Their officers
say this charge has been disproved
time and again after fights at Verdun,
In Champagne and north Of the Aisne.
The Associated Press correspondent

OF prisoners after battle at La Boz
velle. when French artilleryman ap-
mpached them to take one Of the,
