QUIZ coLoRRD TROOPS.

Had it occurred to you, the universal
lovalty Of our co1ored citizenss Have
Won ever met colored man in this coun.
try who was q pro.Ge1nnans Do you
even know anyone who thinks he has &C
tually seen onef have personally
made this inquiry in the South, in New
England, on the Pacific coast, and here
a. home in the central West, and have
arrived at the firm conviction There
ain u no such animal as prot German
American colored man.
Z. when the big war started and Bern
stoff let loose his long and carefully pre-
pared plans of arson, bombs, strikes and
general confusion in this country, one Of
the most dastardly schemes on which
his boss depended, was an uprising Of
the nine million colored people in the
South. The effort was wen organized,
bountifully supplied with money, was
operated with great secrecy, and at first
was carried on outside the larger south
Elm cities. All sorts Of impossible re-
wards were promised; the blacks were
tc own and rule the South; every sort
Of poison lie was used to tempt the col
ored people into q revolt against the
whites. It was expected and hoped this
revolution would keep this country busy
for the duration Of the war. OF all this
people in the North heard very little.
To the everlasting credit Of the col
ored people they refused to be led into
the trap, and like the proposed revolu-
ton in India and Egypt and some other
Countries, the plot miserably failed.
At last we entered the war. What,
then Of the colored manf When volun-
tary enlistment was offered, he respond
ca promptly and in large numbers. Dur
ing the Civil War, it was no infrequent
part Of northern general e report Of q
battle that the colored troops fought
bravely.' The reports which are reach
ing us Of the colored troops in France
include more than g fought bravely -
they fight magnifcently.
/. "A letter from an officer describing
such q regiment going s over the top
is picture worth painting. Barehead-
ed, shirts unbuttoned or no shirts at all,
with the most unearthly yells, as de-
mons let loose, they went at the enemy
like q cage Of wild lions released. These
boys from the cotton and cane fields
like best to fight with the bayonet,
which Fritz enjoys least of all, but in
hand to-hand combat they fill back on;
their trusty razor Of knife, in the use Of
nhich they ara. mere than prof ient.!
The stanchest Hun is said to quail and
run before one Of these dusky giants

sissippi on his throat. i

fighting bravely.'' - Popular Me-,

STEEL FOR RAILROADS
Greater Production Urged To Aid
Government Program.

L. Washington, Aug. 23.-The rail-
iToads of the country will consume the
largest amount of steel required by
the government, the war industries
board has announced following an all
day secret conference with the steel
committee of the American Iron and
Steel institute. Shipbuilding require
| ments come next, with the war de-
partments program third, and the
| navy fourth.
The meeting was called to find
means of meeting in full, If possible,
the steel needs of the government and
the allies. These demands for the last
six months already amount to more
| than twenty-three million tons and are
| rapidly approaching the twenty-five
| million mark.
To remedy the shortage of steel
which is so acute that actual require
| ments cannot be met unless drastic
action is taken by the steel producers
and the government, the following
measures were determined as urgent:
First--Greater conversion of mills to the
production of steel required in the war
| program. This will necessarily entail the
| elimination of many kinds of steel now
seeond~fncrease the coal supply. partic-
/ ularly In byproducts coal available for mills
| engaged in war work Further curtnil-
| OF boarded coal. and diversion of bypro-
| duct coal from war industries that could
use poorer SEaQeS may nave 10 De reSOrteu
| to If the situation is to be met. Shortage
/ of this grade of coal is serious and de-
| clared to be the crux of the admittedly
| alarming steel shortage.
Third-Shutting off of further steel ship
| ments to industries other than those en-
| gagged in meeting war needs Steel Admin
| istrator Replogie virtually has cut off this
| supply. refusing evenea pound of steel for
| other than war purposes. In addition,
where large stocks were obtained prior
to the restrictions being placed on the less
