heavy iron door when it fell from its
support on Saturday morning at the
plant of the Baugh Chemical company
foot of Clinton street, Calvin Forrest
(colored) 2236 Brunt street, sustained
injuries from which he died few

other employe at the plant, that he
was stricken with paralysis on the
right side.

Washington, d. C.-"Colored men

that Huns were scared of the Ameri-

were going aboard the train for the
training camp. They marched down
the station platform shouting ard
singing. Among them was a stout.
dark man of 35, perhaps more. One
of his eyes was completely gone. In
some manner he had passed the ex-
amining board after registration and
been designated for the training camp.
Among the men at the depot over
looking the draftees was draft Off
Ger. He observed the one-eyeG man,
and, of course, Immediately went up
to him.
What are you doing in liner
asked the man. You know you can
not be soldier, having only ono eye.
How did you pass the examining
board? You had better step out
now. There's no chance for you to

HELP WIN THE WAR

Our colored soldiers in France and
Siberia arc doing their duty like he
roes and showing the world that col
ored troops make ideal soldiers and
no braver or more daring men are
found at the front.
We call on all our people here at
home who are not called to do active
service in the army to do their part
in supporting our brave boys by
planting every available foot of ground
in foodstuff, by saving all possible,
eating less meats and sugars, and en-
gaging eight hours every day, six days
in the week in some useful occupa-
ton so that they may be able to buy
stamps and liberty bonds as well as
pay their debts and provide for the
future. We must show to France,
England, Italy and even Germany that
American colored citizens are patriotic,
loyal and brave, ready to sacrifice
money or life for the country they
and their ancestors have given their
strength and blood to build. Our
country, then, receiving so much from
our hands, must be just and generous
enough if she hopes to succeed to
grant us the same privileges of citi-
zenship, the right to travel and re-
ceive public accommodations we are
able to pay for, the right of trial by
jury and equality in our courts of JUS
tice that she grants other citizens not
near so loyal and which she accords
to foreigners who have no interest
whatever in her welfare or her citi-
zens.

Can't they do as much work in the
line of fighting and as much work as
any other American citizens?"
The general said he was raised in a
iown where three-fourths of the peo-
pie were colored; that he was proud
to say that he was raised by colored
nanny and equally proud to say he
commanded a colored troop during the
Spanish war. and that "they did splen-
did work then and they are doing
splendid work now!"
~ used to wrestle with colored
boy named Dave Robertson" said Per-
shing, speaking of his boyhood days,
"and Dave used to throw me as often
as l threw him."
The general was cheered enthusias-
tically by the colored regiment and
by other services of supply men he
addressed on his tour The cheers
were loudest when he promised to give
the men at the base chance at the
boche" up at the front.
Il expect to come back here" he said

and give you guns and let you go to

WAR BRIDES

Many a dear little blushing bride
Has been left behind to grieve and
cry,
Some of few weeks, or Just a few
days
Are grieving about hubby that has
gone away
Their short little married life happy
but brief
Uncle Sans summons steals in like A
hief,
Orders him off to the Camps to pre-
pare
For Service in France Ger the top
somewhere. q
When Uncle Sam speaks you may as
we'll heed it
He means every word, so now just
you "beat it"
Just pack your duds and get ready
for flight
The summons may come any day or
night.
So off he goes with torn up mind,
Thinking of the loved ones left be-
hind.
And of dear little. bride, his life, his
all,
But he must answer his country's
call.
Dear little bride left behind in des-
pair
Is trying so hard her part to bear,
But it takes all her nerve and all her
wit
To do what people call Doing your
bit"
To be near each other to France she
goes
AS Red Cross Nurse, they peed
them so,
If hubby is wounded on the battle
field,
She is there to nurse him, his wounds
to heal.
2 ssw-
Were there ever people so torn III
as they?
Some brides of week, some, just a
few days.
Were there ever a people so full Of
despair?
Thinking of loved ones in France
somewhere.
When everything is over and We
shall have Peace,
When the sound of Gun and Cannon
have ceased,
When the old Kaiser has been heard
of no more
And our boys will have landed thi'
side the shores
Such a gathering together of loved
ones twill be,
Such horrible stories Of old Germany
But the happiest of all twixt tn
earth and skies
Will be the beautiful blushing littl
war Brides"
