Of the principal things in connection

other agencies, may be mentioned:
HOW THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL
ASSISTANT" CAME INTO
BEING.
The Office of Emmett ]. Scott as
Special Assistant to the Secretary Of
War was created because of the rec
ognized Importance and weight of
the Negro in the national equation,
and because of the broad-minded
view of the Hon. Newton D. Baker,
Secretary Of War, that the problems
growing out of the relations of the
100000 colored people of the
country in a period of war, with new
conditions and new demands to be
met and adjusted, could best be
solved by calling to his side as ad-
visor and counsellor an acknowledged
expert on the peculiar situation that
the race question presented. That
the office, with its increasing volume
Of responsibilities and broadening
scope of activities, is rendering ex-
cellent service, is convincingly at
tested by the laudatory comments at
the hands of the press of the country
and the warm personal congratula-
tions received by Mr.. Scott by tele-
gram, letter, and word of mouth
every day in the year. as well as by
the grateful acknowledgements of
! hundreds of persons in all parts of
the land who have been faithfully
and efficiently served through the

bureau. 1t is a veritable clearing
house" for Negro problems, military
and civil, and it is universally ad-
mitted that the condition of the race,
in and out of the Army, has been
improved beyond measure since the
establishment of this direct point of
contact between the Negro and every
branch of the War Department. For
eighteen years Mr.. Scott was the
confidential secretary and right hand
man of the late Booker 7. Washing

with the most influential forces OF

November 1st marked the end of
the first year of Emmett ]. Scott as
Special Assistant to the Secretary of
War. For the first time since the
foundation of the American Repub-
lie, the Negro people, just fifty years
out of bondage, have enjoyed the
proud distinction of having in the
federal government at Washington a
representative whose functions ap-
proximated that of member of the
Presidential Cabinet. Now that one
year of Mr.. Scott's administration"
has been brought to a close, and with
it has come the approach of finish
of the worldwide war which made
his assignment possible, it is fitting

coming in baseball way. But the
secret is out, or so one scribe opines.

that Ruth's weakness is found in the
way he slides into bases, and It is a
fact that BABE cannot be called a
graceful or finished slider" AS Ruth
starts to hit the dirt he puts his hand

takes the pressure on his wrist. which
is not the best thing in the world for
