THE NEGRO AND THE WAR

which President Wilson has de-
fined for us, and they assume
cheerfully the burden laid upon
the country as a whole.
The way that the colored citizen
has taken hold Of the Liberty loan
is encouraging.
The Mosaic Temple, with head
quarters in Arkansas. subscribed
S25, 900 to the first Liberty loan
and later invested an additional
$4,000. Recently Secretary Me
Adoo telegraphed the Knights of
Pythias of Florida, another color
ed order, his appreciation Of their
subscription of $4,000 for bonds.
The Provident and Mutual Insur-
ance Co. Of Durham, n. c., put
$4,000 Of its spare funds in the
loan.

ers have toured the country to
enthuse the Negroes for the Liber-
ty loan and the response has been
eager and enthusiastic, an emphat-
ic reputation of the German prop
aganda which has attempted to
stir up the cOlored part of our
population to sedition.
The war has brought to the Ne
gro a better chance for national
self-expression than any event in
his history, and he is making the
most of his opportunity. Much of
the best talent Of the race has been
absorbed in meeting the need
caused by speeding up war indus
tries. Graduates Of colleges and
technical schools have found a
ready field for the use Of their
knowledge and trained skill. The
demand for educated Negroes has
exceeded the supply.
No such impetus has ever be-
fore been given to education for
the Negro. 1t is true that the il
Iiteracy Of the race has decreased
from 80 per cent at the close of
the civil war to 30 per cent to-
day, but the necessity of wiping
out ignorance has been called
sharply to our attention by the
demands which the war is making
upon our man power. The proper
training of the Negro is a problem
which concerns both races. To
leave one-third of the cOlored peo-
pie undeveloped is failure to util-
iZe the resources of the Nation.

The colored people are rallying
to the call Of patriotism all over
the country. They are giving
their sons, their money, and their
energies to the task Of modelling
the Nation for the cause of democ-
racy. For the Negro holds his cit
izenship high. The friends of the
United States are his friends. Its
foes are his foes.
Thirty-siX per cent of all the
Negroes examined We're certified
as physically fit for the National
Army, ratio higher than the
whites can show. In Is canton
ments scattered throughout the
Northern and Southern States the
dusky troops are being prepared
to meet the Hun.
In the old Regular Army Of the
pre-war days were four colored
regiments - the Twenty-fourth
and Twcnty-ffth Infantry and the
Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. These
troops proved their value in Cuba
during the Spanish-American
War, Just as they did in the Indi-
an campaigns on the border. They
are notably steady under fire, pa
tient to endure hardship, cheerful
and good natured at all times. And
they can fight.
The War Department has or
ganized division Of colored
troops, known as the Ninety-sec-
ond. To lead these men $50 col
ored officers were commissioned
after course of training at Fort
Dodge, Iowa. Already a number
of Negro chaplains have been
named to serve with these and
more are soon to be appointed.
Three regiments Of Artillery have
been formed and a school for Sig
nal Corps training has been or.
ganized.

DID IDAHO START sOMETHINGi

At the beginning of the great war
there was a call for volunteers. Idaho
stepped forward with her full share or
more. When the draft was instituted
Idaho Of course furnished her full
part. The need Of funds TO equip and
feed, and transport, and supply with
munitions millions of men was very
great Money had to be raised. There
were four successive Liberty Bond
drives. Idaho did more than her al
lotted share in each of them In ad-
dition two billion dollars were to be
raised by the purchase of War Savings
Stamps. Idaho was allotted a quota
OF between eight and nine millions.
The government is needing and count
ing on the money from this source.
Did Idaho start something which
she could not finish? And is she going
TO be backed up into a corner and
have to acknowledge it? This query
is forced upon US by consideration of
the fact that she has accounted for
only three millions of her War Saw
ings quota, while she has much more
than that to take up before the end
OF the year. OF course, it is preposter-
GUS to suppose for a minute that Ida
no can not do her full share in this
respect. 1t is simply a question OF
whether she is determined to do so
or whether she is willing to have her
perfect record spoiled by falling down
on her War Savings quota. What an
anti-climax it would be, especially at
one Of the greatest moments in world
history. when the world war has been
won and the Hun menace has been
brought to its knees. AS citizens OF
Idaho. it seems almost too ridiculous
for words to suppose for a moment
that with the end in sight she will

man-like manner.
