FEW LOSSES AMONG

Colored Regiment Carried First
American Flag To Firing
Line Reports Say

General Pershing reports that the
Colored soldiers with the American
Expeditionary Forces are in fine
shape, and their losses have been
comparatively few. In his recent
cablegram to Secretary Baker he said.
"A tour of inspection just completed
among Negro troops by officers of the
training section of these headquar-
ters show the comparatively high de-
gree of training and efficiency among
these troops.
Their training is identical with that
Of other American troops serving with
the French army, the effort being to
lead all American troops gradually to
heavy combat duty by preliminary
service in trenches IN quiet sectors.
"Colored troops in trenches have
been particularly fortunate as one

POU
Of NORTH CAROLINA
PRAISES THE NEGRO
Southern Gentleman Says He Is
Pleased To Pay Tribute To the
Race Because Deserving

Congressman E. w. Pou of North
Carolina, in a debate on the Army
appropriation bill in the House Of
representatives, said recently. $50 far
as l have heard, so far as I know, SO
far as | have read. in not one Negro
home in America Is there even a sug-
gestion of disloyalty II is pleasant
indeed to pay this tribute to this race
of people because they deserve 1t.
They are doing their utmost to sup
port their country in this great world
crisis. They are subscribing to Lib
erty Bonds, they are giving to the Red
Cross, and their young men are cheer
fully responding to the draft call. They
are not a wealthy race; they have ac-
cumulated slowly, but they are giving
willingly of what they have.
This attitude Of the Negro race is
not surprising to the people Of the
South, who probably know the char
acter of the Negro better than any
other people on earth. The Southern
people saw him tried in the memora-
BILE days OF the war between States.
They saw him tested as few people
have ever been tested in the history
Of the world. His very soul was wrung
in struggle between love of freedom
and love OF friends, and the love for
those who had been kind to him won
the victory. The helpless women and
children of the South during those
four memorable years were left large
ly to the mercy of the Negro race
Be it said to their everlasting credit
that not in one instance did they prove
treacherous.
Some day | hope to see a monu-
ment of pure white marble erected
a monument so high that its summit
pierces the clouds, so enduring that 1t
will outlive the ages,-built, by the
Southern people as a tribute to the
fidelity of the Negro race in protect
ing and caring for the helpless popu-
lation during the war between the
States"

One Of the most vital forces that go

Home
Never until you are three thousand
miles away from all your own folks,
and are in strange land, with people
all about you chatting in an unknown
tongue, do you realize what loneliness
means.
When to distance you add danger,
hardship and unaccustomed and rack
ing toll. you have the ingredients for a
mighty homesickness. You remember
when in times of peace you were trav-
cling abroad how you eagerly watched
and waited for letters, and the thou.

tressing suspicious and conjectures
that fomented in your mind when the
mail was delayed-well, it's infinitely

So don't fail to write him Over

Remember that the postal service

Write some every day Make 1t
part Of your days routine. And send
your letters off twice week or OFTEN

actly right. Go to your postmaster or
the nearest army station or write to
the War Department and find out how
to address your letter 80 that there
shall be no mistake. Print the ad-
dress on your envelope. Don't trust
to script. Make it fool proof.
Tell him details. all the little hap

Don't worry him about money mat

and annoying him will do no good.
Don't quarrel. Save your misunder-

ism" To Drafted Colored Men

Noah ID. Thompson, "Four-Minute
Man." representing the colored popu-
lation of the city, spoke to 225 colored
drafted men at the independent
Church of Christ, Eighteenth street
and Paloma avenue, Los Angeles, last
night. His topic was "Americanism,
and What 1t Means to U.s."
He told Of a young man who ap-
peared before him ten months ago,
complaining that nobody had conf
dence in him, and that he had lost his
ninth job. The youth was advised to
join the army-to let Uncle Sam adopt
him and make man of him. He
did It,
{ Not long ago he went to Mr.. Thomp-
son and expressed his gratitude fRI
the good advice which had been given
ITO him, saying that he has learned to
regard army discipline as the thing
he most needed. and that he has come
to be soldier of genuine worth to
the government
: What Americanism means to that
young man, 1t means to every black,
red or yellow man who has truly taken
Uncle Sam as foster parent" said
:Mr. Thompson, @Amerieanism today
means opportunity to serve humanity,
opportunity. to serve efficiently that
one may serve all and all may serve
one. America will eventually draw a
circle around the word All large
enough to include every loyal black,
red or yellow man in her domain.
,Americanism stands for Opportunity.
