RECORD OF COLORED
FIGHTING TROOPS
TO MAKE BRIGHT
PAGE In HISTORY

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. When
this war is over, and peace, lasting
peace, declared, and the necessitous
censorship has been lifted so one may
mention the names of army units,
cities and towns, the Colored histori-
an who records the history of the
Colored Soldier in this war, will need
no imaginative powers to tell of the
service, the daring deeds of valor,
and the incompatible fighting Color
ed men did over here in France. Yer
dun, No Mans Land, Belleau Woods,
Chateau hierry, Scissors, the Vesle,
Areonne, Champagne, ct. al, are
vast urns which contain the story of
how Americas black soldiers fought;
how they dared, bled and died Ito
make the world safe for democracy"
Bordeaux, Brest, st. Nasair, Mon
toir, ct. al, will forever tell story
of the big achievements of the Color
ed stevedores who helped to make
possible the victories of the fighting

UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION
Washington, d. c., Nov.

Washington, d. c., Nov.
Just before Mr. Hoover boarded
his ship for Europe on his present
trip he made the following statement:
There is a great problem in the
situation of the enemy people-about
9O,OOO,OOO. This problem is not one
of going to their relief. 1t is a pro-
blem of relexing the watertight block
ade, which continues through the
armistice, sufficiently so that they
may secure for themselves the bare
necessities that will give stable gov
eminent. Unless anarchy can be put
down and stability of government can
be obtained in these enemy States
there will be nobody to make peace
with, and nobody to pay the bill to
France and Belgium for the fearful
destruction that has been done.
Il would certainly approach this
problem with mixed feelings having
been long a witness to the robbery of
food from women and children, and
the destruction of millions of tons of
food at sea and to the misery under
which the millions amongst the big
and little Allies have suffered under
the German yoke. Justice requires
that Government be established able
to make amends for wrongs done,
and it cannot be accomplished
through spread of anarchy. Famine
is the mother of anarchy.
81 am going to Europe to discuss
the further food measures that must
be organized as a result of the ces-
sation of hostilities. The food prob
lem in Europe today is one of ex-
IRENE completely. OF their 100000
600, practically only three areas y
South Russia, Hungary, and Den
mark-comprising say 40,O00,O0O-I
have sufficient food supplies to last
until next harvest without imports.
Some must have immediate relief.
eve have a surplus of some 49,
100000 to 100000 tons of food
if we are economical, so that the
situation can be handled if this and
the other smaller SURPRISES in the
world can be transported.
"All continental Europe has reduc-
ed herds and is consequently short of
meats and especially fats. These
countries have their last harvest and
under orderly governments this would
furnish breadstuffs and vegetables
for various periods from two months
upward, depending upon the ratio
of industrial populations. Something
over 200, 100000 of peoples are now
in social disorder.
''In these cases, with transportation
and financial decentralization, the
tendency is for peasants to cease
marketing even their surplus and thus
instant difficulties are projected into
the cities even when resources are
available in the country. The peas
ant and villager of Europe always
provides for himself for the whole
wear in any event. The problem thus

Cash in three banks amounting to
sls1.O5O and 100000 in Liberty
bonds were two other items.
Most interesting of the holdings
listed, to those who knew the story
of Mr.. Hopkins career, was a note
of the Arcadian Trading company of
81, 900. This note was the basis of
the Hopkins fortune, the Arcadian
Trading company being the concern
which he established with Fred Secord
as his partner after leaving the en-
ploy of the Pullman company as its
paymaster. The note was kept by
Mr.. Hopkins for entirely sentimental
reasons.
The inventory also disclosed that
Mr.. Hopkins had been one of the
owners of the old Chicago Record
Herald, holding stock of par value of
S37,5OO. The stock is listed as ''of
doubtful or little value"

was astounding and picturesque at
once. There was not motion visi-

more she lifted up and passed over the
Hill and out of sight. 1t was the last
vision the correspondents had Of the
graceful airship. Down the home

waited for her to reappear word was
brought that the ship had been

Sailors, Collars.

All sailors collars have border rum
ming round them consisting of three
white lines close together and parallel.
In men of the regular British navy these
lines are straight. but the collars of the
Naval Volunteer force have the lines
wavy. 1t is difficult to say exactly
when the lines came into use or who
first originated the idea. but those who
have studied the question of uniforms
state that the lines represent the three
