Free Motor Trips
Make Mothers Day

One Homesick Rookie"
Meets His Parent, An
other His Fiancee

Mothers Day was observed at Camp
Upton yesterday far more generally and
more agrecably than it would have
been but for the free excursion of the
American Automobile Association. The
long line of motors that rolled through
the green countryside to the canton
ment made it real Mothers Day for
the men, for many Of whom it was the
first Sunday in barracks.
Men who had been viewing the gray
day and the prospect of hours of idle
less with discontented eyes found a
new$interest in life as the motor cars
were emptied and the throng of reia-
tives and friends wandered through the
shack city seeking familiar figures that
were oddly unfamiliar in the new suits
of olive drab.
Eddie McAnney and Joe Mcfarland,
two sum youths, who, on last Sunday,
had helped relieve a eroaninr dinner
table in a tidy Washington Heights
fiat, were sitting disconsoiatc on a
rail fence that bordered an outlying
lane OF the reservation. They de-
ciined even to raise their eyes at an
approaching clatter and rumble.

looked upon the dark side Of things.

Mail" these letters will receive pre-
cedence over all other postal matter.
- Mothers, and fathers, too, said the
Rev; c: c: Marshall in St. James's
Methodist Episcopal Church, ought to
advise wavering sons to enlist. Such
advice, he pointed out, was service
not only to the nation. but to the re-

be the aristocracy of the world. !"

they had a mother who could start
them in that direction And nothing
IN the world is more beautiful on the

.sked the colored women to Participate
more actively in war work, thus doing
heir share in aiding their men who are
sov in France or about to 60 over.
Nr. Moore, the chairman. spoke of
.be courage of the negro regiment, the
18th New York Infantry, now the
3ssth somewhere in France.
ALooking at their bravery, and not
their color, the French have received
them with open arms" he said. 1--WE
are second to no part Of our population
in layalty. But, speaking as an Ameri-
tan black, | say we are not being
treated right here.
aWe have trained colored Red Cross
nurses, ready to go to the front and
minister to the wounded in the hos
pitals. They are no longer content to
STAY here, and the American Red Cross
must stop passing the buck to the
War Department whenever our nurses
ask to be sent to the front.
"We want the best white women and
men to tell the American Red Cross
that the millions of colored sympathiz-
ers with the United States in the war
sre not satisfied with the treatment of
our trained colored nurses. We don't
want black Red Cross, but univer-
sal Red Cross, with every vestiee of
The old Southern anti-color preiudices
wiped out, and with nothing else re-
CURED from its workers but ability,
respectability and character"
The speakers arguments were
strengthened by the presence in the
audience by squad of colored Red
Cross workers and by the members of
the senior class of colored nurses from
Lincoln Hospital.
The rally was held under the au-
spices OF the Girls Patriotic Service
League, which is division of the New
