THE NEGRO AND THE WAR
Commercial Appeal

The Commercial Appeal states a
few facts for the information Of the
negroes to whom constant misrepre-
war
Ii is also true that many wild rum
ors untih they get the stamp of APP
parent proof
The negro soldiers in camp in
this country and the negro soldiers
in France get exactly the same
treatment from the Red Cross as do
the white soldiers. They receive the
same medical attention; their hos
pital wards are quipped just as we'll
as the wards of other soldiers; they
receive the same rate of pay, the
same ration and the same sort Of
clothing.
The white women of Memphis are
making vast quantities of hospital
garments. bandages. wound packs
and socks for the soldiers in France.
These garments are distributed
among negro soldiers just as they are
distributed among white soldiers.
II there is a negro soldier suffering
from wound in a French hospital
the white people of the Red Cross
want that negro to be cared for just
as we'll as if his skin was as white
as the stars.
This is Negroes war just as we'll
as a white mans war. This is a
war of every American citizen.
When negro soldier strikes at a
German he is defending his home
and the home of the neighboring
white man, and when the white man
strikes at the German soldier he is
trying to protect the cabin of the
humblest colored man just as much
as he is attempting to protect the
home of the plantation owner.
The negro soldiers in Europe have
already given a good account of
themselves.
1t was reported at first that the
negroes are helping to load and un-
load ships, and so are the white
men. The negroes are helping to
build railroads in France and so are
the white men; and the negro is on
the firing line at Toul, just as are
the white men.
The government of the United
States makes the same allowances
for the negro soldiers wife or child
that it does for the white soldiers
wife or child.
In all of the wars of the United
States. from the Revolutionary War
down to the Mexican trouble, the
negro soldier has borne himself well.
There is equal opportunity for dis
play of splendid service in this war.
Another thing; there are probably
$4,000 negro soldiers in France They
are fighting and they are dying.
What are the negroes at home going
to do about it? What can they do?
