It takes years for great improve

whose influence is a leaven slowly

THE NEGRO IN THE WAR.

The course of the Negro race has
been highly creditable in this war.
Upon barren soil fell the seeds of Sc
dition and insurrection disseminated
by German agents and pro-German
newspapers in an attempt to incite
the Negroes to uprising against the
United States. So far as We have OBJ
served, Negro leaders have been con-
spicuously free from reasonable ut
terances. Drafted Negroes have gone
to the front as cheerfully as any other
set of men and, If history repeats it.

much torture and agony into black
bodies as into white. Death will not

THE new YEAR
-1918-

The colorc1' American has every
reason to take courage. The past
year may have taken something away
but it gave more than it took.
From the Twenty-fourth infantry
we have lost three score of the best
soldiers in the world, who, up to the
bear-baiting Of Houston, had an en-
viable record for discipline and SOL
dierly courtesy.-But we have gained
the unprecedented total Of 700 colored
commissioned officers in the United
States army and have an equal status
for service in the ranks.
We have heard the greatest Court Of
the land, by an obiter dictum, re-affirm
it's approval of ordinary "Jim-Crow-
ism."-But the same court at the
same time wiped out the very worst
form of Jim Crow" in the segrega.
ton ordinance, and removed from US
the threat of an American Ghetto.
We had East ST. Louis, a supremely
savage effort to beat us back indus
trially.-But far from being beaten
back, we have broken down the indus.
trial wall that hemmed us in the
Southeast, and have sent our hardy
cohorts to every industrial center Of
the greatest Industrial nation.
We have Chester in Pennsylvania,
and Memphis in Tennessee. o, yes,
Memphis with all the savage instincts
that still infest it's purlieus.-But we
also have Detroit in Michigan and we
still have and have still better the Har.
lem in New York City-THE Harlem!
We have to pay more for our butter
and eggs-but we have more to pay
with. What boots it to the colored
man if eggs be a dime dozen and
his wages so low and his chances to
work so slim that he cannot spare
the ten cents? 1t were far better for
him that eggs should II at fifty cents
a dozen, if he can earn from three
to five dollars day.
We are still stalked by the shadow
Of government-departm segrega.
tion.-But in substance we are repre-
sented in every department of gov.
eminent service, and have high civil
officer in the war department.
AS racial element in the world
war we have earned the hate of Ger.
many.-But we have deepened the love
Of France. And one of the acknowl-
edged assets of America is our loyalty
and magnanimity.
Like all the gentle folk of the world
we stand Mortified and aghast at this
World War and world murder.-But
the colored American has gained, in
both material and immaterial goods,
and will gain proportionately more
from this, world conflict perhaps, than
any other single element in the world.
