NEGRO SOLDIERS STANDING THE ACID TEST

While the American congress hestates in passing
needed legislation to suppress lynchng, and while
such states as Texas, louisiana Mississippi Georgia
and Tennessee, together with Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania, where Negroes are mobbed ynched and roast
ed alive, refuse them even-handed justice and a
square deal; while the said states outlaw the black
man and segregate him and humiliate him; while
they seek to Jim-Crow him in military camps, re-
strcting his training as soldier the civilized world
today that in spite of all these expressions and
handicaps at home the black American soldier in
France is not only successfully meeting the acid
test but he is carrying the fight to the Germans.
The black sentry is not sleeping on duty, nor is he
negecting anything that tends to the protection
and security of white Americans either on the battle
line in the trenches, or anywhere in NO MANS
LAND.
As it was at Bunker Hill and Carrizal, so it is
today the black soldiers courage is being seen to
the best advantage when he is Overwhelmingly out
numbered, when the odds are against him. when two
are pitted against twenty, and when hell itself is
turned against him.
When it comes to defending Old Glory when it
comes to uphOding the traditions of the United
States, when it to protecting the white race,
yes, when it comes to standing by our president,
black men, for instance, Private Henry johnson and
Private Robert White will do or die anywhere at
any time Real heroes are born, not made and
whether the black American soldier is ever trained
at West Point Annapolis not, he will report
to God when orders are given in the army-Texas

THE SPOILS OF WAR

Word comes from overseas that the Allies doubt
ing their ability to make just and satisfactory
distribution of the surrendered German navy, and
fearing the effect of their failure to do so upon
their future relations purpose to take the ships far
out to sea and destroy them If true this is a most
serious indictment against the Allies-a sad com
mentary upon the sincerity and wisdom of their be-
lief that we have seen our last great
If in the distribution of the spoils of that war
which has served to harmonic their conflicting in
terests and bind them into a seeming common pur-
pose, they are unable to make fair and proper ad-
justment of their respective rights, how can they
hope in the after years, when their common suffer
ings and trials are but a memory tradition, to
work together in peace nd harmony toward the
common end that there shall be no wars In
the fierce rivalry for commercial advantage and ter
ritorial expansion which will inevitably follow the
return of peace there is little to hope for in the way
of permanent peace unless now, the nations show
a willingness to recognize and adjust in spirit
of fairness the rightfu claims of each other.
Common thieves often fight their booty

LET HIM LIVE"

(The following poem recently appeared in the
Madison Democrat as "AuthOr Unknown. The
author is Edward W. Castea and it originally APP
peared in the Dayton Times.-EditOr)
SO long I'd let the kaiser live,
AS long as flowers their perfume give
Live and live for million years.
With nothing to drink but Belgian tears,
With nothing to quench his awful thirst
But the sailed brine of Scotchmans curse.
| would let him live a dinner each day,
Served from silver golden tray
Served with things both dainty and sweet
Served with everything but things to eat.
And I'd make him bed Of slken sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and filets of lace,
With downy pillow piled in place;
Yet when to its comfort he would yield,
1t would stink with rot of the battlefield,
And blood and bones and brains of men
Should cover him, smother him, ana then
His pillows should cling with the rotten clay
Clay from the grave of a soldier boy;
And while Gods stars their vigs keep,
And while the waves the white sands sweep
He should never, never, never sleep,
And through all the day, through all the years
There should be an anthem III his ears,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set of sun,
Moaning and moaning and moaning Wild
A ravaged French girl bastard child.
And | would build him a castle beside the sea
AS fine shop ever could be;
Laden with water, cold and sweet
Laden with everything good to eat
Yet scarce does she touch the svered sands,
Scarce may he reach his eager hands,
Than a hot and hclsh molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell;
And though he Il watch ON the wave swept shore
Our Lusitania should rise more
In "No Mans Land, where the Irish fell,
I'd start the kaiser private hell.
I'd iab him. stab him. give him gas;
In every wound I'd pour ground glass;
I'd march him. out where the brave boys died
Out past the lads they crucifed,
In the fearful gloom OF this living tomb
There is thing I'd do before | was through
I'd make him sing, in stirring manner,
The wonderful words OF The Star Spanged Ban
ner.'

Germans Are Believed Trying To
Launch Big Drive In Belgium
And France.
ARMIES ARE AT GRIPS
Trying-Out Proves Especially Marked
BY Teutons In Flanders-Raids
And Artillery DueIs All
Along Line.

London, Jan. 2j.-With a continua.
ton of silence as regards the internal
situation in Germany and reported
ameliOratiOn in the political unrest In
Austria-Hungary, the notable feature
in the world war is the apparent re.
sumption on a somewhat large scale
of the military operations on the
Western front in Belgium and france.
Although for the moment these op,
erations, viewed from the cold facts
as announced by the various war of.
fees, do not transcend in importance
the usual small operations by raidins
and recOnnoitering parties which lave
been in progress since the severe
winter weather began, reading be
tween the lines of the communications
it is not difficult to see that the ma
neuvers now in progress on various
sectors are in the nature of trying
out processes of a marked character.
Weather Is Moderating.
From the North sea to the Swiss
frontier the lessening in the rigors
OF winter has permitted the belliger.
elts again to send forth their men in
enterprises which seemingly forecast
the intention shortly to resume fight.
ing activity more extensively.
For weeks the big guns along the
entire battlefront have been roaring
in intensive duels on numerous sectors
but the infantry has lain idle owing
TO the deep SHOWS and later to the
morasses which formed as a result
OF the thaw.
On their extreme right in Northern
Belgium the Germans carried out an
important" raid and gained foot.
ing in French advanced trenches east
Of Nieuport. This ground later was
regained by the French in a rapid
Counter-attack Along nearly all OF
the front in Flanders the artilleries
have increased the volume of their
fire.
To the south, around Lens, Arras
and st. Quentin, tle fighting daily is
growing in strength, while eastward
along the Chemin-d es-Dames, past
Verdun and thence to the Swiss Dor.
der, the French and Germans are con.
tinuously engaged on various sectors
in artillery fighting and infantry &C
tivities considerably above the normal
as compared with the early days ot
the war.
On the front in Italy the change in
the high command evidently has not
resulted as yet in any betterment OF
strategic positions OF the Austro-Ger
man armies.
