De Moines, Iowa.-The
leading daily newspaper oi
this place, in a well-consider-
ed editorial expression with
reference to the scant atten-
ton the Negro receives in
times of peace and the soIici-
tude vouchsafed him in time
Of war. says: A demand is
now before Congress for a
great national school for Ne
groes, made. strange as it may
appear, by Congressman n
from. Tennessee. 1t is to be a
school for military training.
The Southern leaders who
during fifty years Of peace
have permitted the Negro to
secure his own training for
civil life, have suddenly be-
come thoroughly aroused to
the need of government in
struction in the art of war.
OF course. if we are to pre-
pare soldiers much may be
said for the proposed school
The Negro has stood up be-
side the best soldiers in the
world, and he is more willing
to fight for the flag than many
to whom the flag has meant
more in privilege. But is it
not worth thinking about that
we should be SO suddenly So
licitous for the training of the
Negro in times of war and lit.

as driving all. makes of cars.
There is not schoolin this
part of the country that will
admit Negro students to learn
the automobile business. The
men that are behind this
school say that they believe
it is their duty to see that the
Negro Youth is given a
chance to become a thorough
automobile mechanic; as the
demand is growing every day
for competant repair men
and chauffeurs.
The chauffeur that can
drive a car and cannot repair
the same will have a poor
chance to get a good job in
the near future. Then there
is a great opportunity for boys

AMERICAN NEGROES
TO fight FOR ALLIES

There are more than three
hundred Negroes from the
United States in the construc
ton battalion being recruited
in Canada, soon to be sent to
the scene of conflict in Europe
according to ]. R. H. Whitney
editor of the Canadian Oh
server, who is in New York
on business. Mr.. Whitney is
editor of the only colored pa
| per published in Canada, and
it has been due largely to his
activities that t h e Govern
ment reached a decision to or
ganize a colored battalion.
Over 200 colored men have
joined white regiments and
are at the front, many being
citizens of the United States.
When the question OF or
ganizing a separate colored
battalion was first ed
Canada, Mr., Whitney petition
ed to the governmental off
cials for an infantry battalion,
1t was decided. however, to
recruit construction b
talon.
Then an effort was made to
secure all colored officers, but
it was pointed out that. un
like an infantry battalion. it
was necessary that commits
stoned officers of a construc
Ition. battalion be civil enain
e ers. A compromise mas
been reached, giving all the
no commissioned officers to
Negroes. Two commissioned
officers have been appointed
"a chaplain and a medical of
6cer-with rank of captain.
The colored soldiers. who
are members Of what i s
known as Construction Bat
tallion No 2, will sail for
Europe some time in March.
The following appeal has
been made to colored Canad
ians to enlist in the newly
formed battalion:
Enlist today and prove your
gratitude tor the precious her
itage Of freedom found only
in the British Empire and un
der the British flag. Fight
for that flag, maintain 1t in
the future as it has been main
tanned in the past. In this
terrific struggle every mans
help is needed and every true
British subject will do his best
regardless of color or creed.
Not counting the cost.
This is Construction Bat
TALON which is badly needed
and must be raised with all
possible speed. 1t is now
more important than night
ing battalion because bridges
railways and artillery roads
which are being destroyed by
the enemy in retreat, must be
rebuilt Immediately in order
to keep the fighting men sup
piled with food and munitions
of war.
In discussing the question
of recruiting in Canada, a
representative of T h e Age
ask Mr.. Whitney if he re
parded it wise move to en-
courage the organization OF
separate regiments for Ne
oroes in view of the dispos,
ton Of the government to
take colored men in what are
generally known as white reg
imentS.
MIR. Whitney expressed the
opinion that the taking Of col
ored men in white regiments
is a personal matter-one
purely optional with regiment
al heads under the present
volunteer system.

''1NE SUPREMACY. {"
