FROM OVERSEAS
Somewhere in France.

cpitiCWHSFt III France.
Oct. 10, 1918.
My dear De Reef:
was very pleased to receive
yours of August 23rd. Your let
ter had been chasing all over
France trying to find me and it
finally rounded me up. You may
say what you please, but We are
sure some busy now and have been
for some time, but we think that
the big scrap is about over.
really thank you all who have
been so kind to my wife; she has
written me in all of her letters
how nice everyone has been to her
since | have been away-it seems
like ten years to me.
Milwaukee seems to be holding
her own in everything she under
takes, and she really could not do
better than to help the Salvation
Army, as it is doing great work
for the boys "over here. When
this great conflict is over / do hope
it will be better understood and
appreciated more.
We on tins side do not know
very much of what is going on ex-
cept in our own particular sec
tor, but we do know that the Al
lies are winning and that fast.
can tell you this also that we have
beef scrapping with the Huns and
have beaten them to a frazzle
Some class. eh? also know some
thing about the Strengthening of
that line which you outlined for
me and shall tell you about II
when ! get home again.
did not know there were real
ly more coIored boys in Milwaukee
to go to Custer, but | wish them
luck. Stith finally got off, eh2 !
am glad you get hold Of the false
reports before they get going
good. People must not believe
everything they hear from over
here, as nine-tenths Of them are
not true.
The boys are having song and
prayer meeting as ! am writing
this.
Give them my hes regards to
all of my very kind 'riends; tell
them ! often think Of them.
CANT and all the other boys are

to you and friends. Please tell
Mrs. Cant.

DISABLED NEGRO SOLDIERS

That the careful study of dis,
abled soldiers by the Red Cross
Institute in New York will be of
special benefit to Negro soldiers is
pre-eminently apparent. The Gov
ernment gives to them. Of course,
as to the American Indians in the
military service, exactly the same
benefits which come to the white
men. These black men and red
men are making history in Eur
ope and their place will be honor
able when they return and their
services will be requited.
Among the Negro soldiers who
will be returned crippled from the
front. there will be men who, be
fore they entered tie Army, had
no special occupation or education
Of any kind; these will be given
trades and perfected in them so
that to make a living will be not
only possible but agreeable, for
they will be permitted to choose
their callings. Already much has
been done in Canada and England
for the black crippled soldier. For
those who have the knack of hand
craft, shoemaking, tailoring, and
similar trades have proven sue
cessful to a degree, especially for
those who have lost legs. Type
writing, stenography, telegraphy
have been successfully taught to
crippled Negroes, the onearmed
finding clever devices for aiding
them in these callings.
Indeed, for the Negro soldier
there is every opportunity, his
own choice and his special physi-
cal loss being the only restrictions
in the trades: while for the man
who has not ceased to find life in
the country preferable land this
will include many of the Indian
soldiers) there are agricultural in
dustries included in the curricu-
lum.-Augusta Scott CLANCY in

with whom the Americans were
billeted. The French folk like the
colored boys, and felt highly hon
0red at the way the latter learned
French. The colored Americans
are getting extremely fluent, and
1T fits entirely with their scheme
of things to use all French forms
of politeness.
Down the battle line a large
unit of colored troops was encom-
tered at serious business. 1t was
going into the line, taking over a
hilly and important sector former
ly held by French troops. 1t was
the first taste of the trenches, or of
the front for the boys in this unit.
These men were mostly from the
south. They had been trained in
the middle west, and some more
in France, but never had been on
duty under shell fire.
Yet on this dark night, while
the Germans bombarded, these
thousands of colored doughboys.
chiefly under direction of colored
officers, though some were white,
took over a difficult and long sec
tor without a mishap and with
less noise than usual, so the French
officers said. They have held that
long sector for some time now,
and there has been no slip, from
the farthest outpost to the rear
supply truck.

PROGRESS OF THE coLoRED RACE

A recent realty purchase is said to have brought
the Manhattan Island property holdings of members
of the coored race to $20,000000 The statement is
calculated to inspire thought. 1t is little than
half century since the emancipation proclamation
was signed, setting 100000 people Free but in the
interval the manumitted has made an extra
ordinary aggregate showing. Throughout the coun-
try north and south east and west the colored bus
mess man and property are continually more
IN evidence They have made substantial name for
themselves IN every part of the United States In
spite of grave obstacles they have pressed their way
upward, and New York is not the only city in which
their holdings run into impressive figures.-Provi-

Nothing Said About Cotton.
(Capper's Weekly

The housewives cotton apron and
calico dress have become luxuries.
The prices of cotton fabrics and of
yarns are going up to such an un-
heard of level that the government,
Washington advices say, may soon be
compelled to fix the price Of cotton
goods But nothing is said about fix
ing the price Of cotton.
Food and clothing of the palmer
sorts are absolutely vital necessities.
This virtually was the governments
argument in regulating the price Of
the Western farmers wheat and hogs.
But it was not invoked in the case Of
the Southern farmer, whose cotton has
advanced during the year from SIS, a
high price, to $31, an unheard-of fig
ure. The Western wheat farmer who
had 80 cents a bushel removed from
the year-ago price Of his wheat, and
had so low minimum price fixed for
