ON THE HINDENBURG LINE

According to London cable, received
the first of the week, troops from the states
of New York, Tennessee and North and
South Carolina, under the command of Cen
eral George w. Read broke the linden
burg line on front of nearly three miles,
sweeping across the st. Quentin Canal be-
fore LIE Catelet and capturing Bellicourt
and Nauroy.
AS General Read at last report, was in
command of the Fourth Army Corps, which
comprises six divisions, including the Nine
ty-second, composed Of colored troops the
probabilities are that many of the Negro
regiments took part in this drive. Among
them it is not unlikely that the seth Regi-
ment, under the command of Colonel Moss,
took an active part. It is also probable
that the North and South Carolina troops
referred to are also colored.
At all events it is entirely within the
possibilities that the "Buffaloes'' and the
others of their race are maintaining their
right to the forefront Of the battle by buck
ing the Hindenburg line. They are all
adopts at "treatin 'em rough,' and may
be trusted to live up to the traditions of
the race in all the battles Of the Nation
That these Negro soldiers can stand pun
shment without finching, as we'll as inhct
it, is shown in the latest story of the con-
duct of the old Fifteenth New York. as told
by staff correspondent Of the New York
World AS the report says, they stood up
under all kinds of gas, the most colossal
artillery fire, bayonets by the thousand and
every other kind of punishment. The re-
cital of their conduct is calculated to make
every New Yorker feel increased pride in

The boy was seated in the gutter, few
feet away, busily engaged in building a
sand fort. few minutes passed. Per-
haps instinct caused him to look around.
He saw a black, hairy worm wrigging and
writing between two sticks held in the
chubby hands Of the little girl.
''Annie Mechanic, if yo' put that wo m

The little girl giggled childishly. Then
her face sobered. She knew Jimmy meant

A MIXED SITUATION

The Census Bureau recently issued some
interesting statistics concerning the newly
acquired territory Of the Virgin Islands,
formerly the Danish West Indies. The era
of these new possessions is slightly more
than 1872 square miles, comprising the three
principal islands, st. Croix or Santa Cruz,
st. John and st. Thomas.
Although these islands had belonged to
Denmark for 245 years, the language of the
people is English. The population accord
ing to the census taken in November, 1917,
was 26,O51, classed as follows: 1922 white,
1888 Negro and 1906 mixed Of the 43O
farms reported 1O2 were operated by white
farmers as owners, managers or tenants;
27O by Negroes; and So by mixed-blood
farmers.
It was to be expected that the annexa-
ton of foreign territory containing large
proportion of colored population would add
to the incongruities and absurdities Of the
color question, as it already existed under
the proscriptive policy prevailing in the
Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1918-10-19

United States. But the peculiar classifi-
cation adopted in this census of the Virgin
Islands betrays new kind Of discrimina-
ton. Here, in the States, under the latest
governmental ruling, adopted in the mill
tary registration, the slightest admixture of
African blood is supposed to class the in
dividual as "Negro." Yet in this latest
possession besides Negro, we find the class
ifcation Of ''miXed" and ''mixed blood''
1t is to be hoped that when the struggle
toward fuller and freer democracy is
achieved, much Of this hairsplitting and
discriminatory classification will be done
away with.-New York Age

OLD GLORY

Without the counsel and advice of Clar-

if he continues his peace negotiations with
Germany.
Much has been said in the Seattle daily
press about a bank president who is work
ing in the shipyard. If the follow works
conscientiously he is probably earning his
first honest dollar
