NEW YORK POLICE COMMISSION
OR WANTS COLORED MEN
FOR DEFENSE LEAGUE.
June 14th, 1918.
Hon. Charles w. Anderson,
LIST V. Pres. Welfare League,
seth Infantry, 80 w. Broadway
New York.

My dear Andcrson.-There is no
doubt that You are aware that we
nave In this department an organiZa-
ton known as the Police Reserves,
consisting now of more than $4,000
men VIGIL organized uniformed and
drilled until they have become a de-
c1dedly useful and efficient military
unit.
Ihese men have been drilled and
trained not only along military lines
but along police lines and in case Of
an emergency they would be capable
or rendering great service in polio
ing the City of New York should the
Police Force become depleted by the
military drafts or for any other reas
on be unable to alone preserve law
and order in this city.
1t occurs to me that we should have
at least one battalion Of colored men
IN the police reserves for in the race
without a hyphen we are always Ger
tain OF finding men who arc absolute
~ loyal to our institutions and who
nave time and again demonstrated
their bravery and efficiency in the
military organization.
1t is time in this city at least that
the Fourteenth Amendment should be
in full force and effect. Tt is also time
that worth and not birth should be
the controlling factor in our business
ana political life without regard to
race religion or previous condition.
knowing your Influence and high
standing with the people of your race
| take the liberty of bringing this
matter to your attention feeling sure
|that it will meet with your approval,
winch Will also guarantee Proper act
ion.
Very truly yours.
(SigneD II. T.. ENRIGHT,
Police Commissioner.

Washington. D. c., July t. The
War Department has made it clear
that it will tolerate no discrimination
against colored draftecs by the local
draft boards in any section of tho
country and that cases of alleged un
fairness will be fully Investigated md
corrected by tho Departmental authoS
tiles.
Secretary Of War Newton D. nae
or in a recent interview speaking
with reference to alleged discrimina
ton against colored draftees said in
part:
81 have heard that draft boards In
adjoining counties take a different
view Of practically indcHticai facts
with regard to colored men; but the
answer in all these cases That a review
is provided directly by the President
and all that is necessary for anybody
to do who thinks there is a grievance
is to point it out to tho War Depart
ment and it will be investigated. If
the draft boards act unfairly we will
correct their action.
"The War Department will brook
no discrimination and any cases OF
alleged or suspected discrimination
brought TO our attention will be in.
vestigated and any wrong done will
be righted."

OF its chief virtues as small arm is
its clcaving power. Most of the weight
OF the knife is distributed along tho
back OF the blade. The handle is ser
rated to fit the fingers for an easy
grip and with quick muscular swing
the bolo is a bone cutter OF the first
rank.
Americans first ran up against the
bolo in the Philippines. Over there it
was originally an agricultural tool
just as the machetc was in Cuba and
Dlacksmiths at country crossroads
hammered it out infinitely and In all
sorts Of forms. The "cris" with its cur

tropical night-just one-counted for
a major American casualty. After a

they began to capture bOlos. And so

But Il was not until 1910 that the
War Department tried the experiment
of issuing the bolo knife rs q regular
part of the American equipment. 1t
was used and tested by our men in
Mexico but there it was employed
chiefly as tool rather than a weapon.
1t was not until our khaki garbed boys
went down into the French trenches
that the bolo knife proved it's right to
be considered "the last line of de-
Tense" and a life sever to tho man
who unsheathed it.
Our co,ored troops display a special
aptitude and affection Tor THIS wea-
pom. The white fighter is inclined to
rely upon his automatic pistol in an
emergency at close quarters but the
colorcd man in uniform takes as nat

NOT A TRENCH KNIFE.

The bolo is in no sense a trench
knife. That is issued to every man
in the ranks and is a special tool not
meant for fighting save at the last
gasp. But the II inch bolo knife is
essentially a weapon. It is issued to G
per cent. Of our infantry forces-.not
regularly to every scyen' zenith man.,
but as occasion may require or the
immediate commanding officer may
direct. Henry Johnson was given his
because he was assigned to particu

 0LD STATE COUNCIL

After session lasting nearly all the week, the new state council of defense which was organized last Monday at the call of Governor Hunt, adjourned yesterday sine die. It was agreed that the council would meet again at the call of the vice chairman, Charles E. Addams of Pinal county.
 Just previous to the final adjourn ment, Mrs. Theodore Marsh of Santa Cruz county made motion, which was seconded by William Nagle of Navajo county, that a vote of thanks be ex- tended by the council to Dwight B. Heard, the Maricopa county member of the new council and chairman of the old council, for many 'courtesies which had been extended to the mem- bers of the new council during their stay in Phoenix. This was adopted. MT. Addams stated that he wished to express the appreciation of the members of the new council for the work which had been done by the ex- ecutive committee of the old council and that they hoped they would be able to show record equally as good which could only be done by self sacrificing work.

 Whereas, the chamber of com merce of the United States has for some time urged as a war measure the improvement of public high ways; and

 Therefore, Be it resolved, that we urge upon the federal govern ment, the importance of adopting program that will insure high way COHStTuStiOn ana Tnd1ntCn- ance, so that highways may prop perIy carry their share of the bur dens of transportation; and
 Be it further resolved, that we urge upon the president and the members of congress the creation of a centralized federal authority to determine tho highway policy of our government, with power to di- rect the administration of that policy.
