Washington, d. G.. June 22. For
NAL denial of reports circulated in
this country, presumably by German
agents, that Negro soldiers with the
American expeaitionary forces are be-
ing given more dangerous work than
the white troops was cabled to the
War Department yesterday by Gen,
Pershing. The message said the
Negroes were IN high spirits and that
their only complaint was that they
were not given more active service.
Gen. pershing said he could not
commend too highly the spirit
shown among the colored combat
troops, who exhibit fine capacity for
quick training and eagerness for the
most dangerous work"
The generals cablegram, which was
in reply to one of inquiry sent by
Secretary Baker, said:
"The stories, probably invented BY
German agents, that colored soldiers
in France are always placed in most
dangerous positions and sacrificed to
save white soldiers, that when
wounded they are left on the ground
to die without medical attention, etc,
are absolutely false.

UNIQUE STUDY CLUB
HOLDS MEMORIAL
FOR DUNBAR

Wednesday afternoon, June 10th,
was observed by the Unique Study
Club as memorial day for our be-
loved poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar.
The beautiful and commodious
home Of Mrs. Emma " Sherman was
the scene Of this very brilliant affair.
The meeting was called to order by
the Vice President. Mrs. VIM. Avery.
Devotions were conducted by Mr..
j. y. Fields, after which Dunbar's
When Ali Is Done" was given as q
concert reading by the Club. The
quotations brought out many gems Of
thought from our favorite poet.
A very splendid paper on Paul
Lawrence Dunbar's Life; Its Value to
the Race was read by Mrs. George
Boone. She very strongly emphasized
the fact that his iowly, humble life,
yet his exalted plane of thinking,
should be emulatad by the race. Mrs.
Peyton very beautifully rendered
Little Gal"
Mrs. BERTHE Ellis read most in
teresting paper on "PauI Lawrence
Dunbar's Works; Their Literary
Value" After commenting on each Of
his books, many of his most prominent
poems were compared with the writ
ings of other popular poets. Very
truly we know that the literary value
of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's works is
inestimable, for by the authority Of
one of the State schools, his Lyrics
of Lowly Life" ara the only folklore
poems of America.
