CLARK TRIES To
HELP Cats
OverlOOks the Governors DiscOurtesy
to Him When 1t Comes to Mat
ter of Public Interest
'(Will P. Kenedy)

Washington, March 5.-Assurance
that the negroes of Florida selected
for the national army will be removed
from the state very soon has been
given to Congressman Frank Clark
of Gainesville who presented at the
War Department forceful letter from
Governor Cats demanding their re-
moval.
In officially notifying Congressman
Clark of this decision, and in explain
alton of why the negro soldiers had
not sooner been called into service
Col. Hugh S. Johnson, Cavalry, Nat
ional Army, deputy provost marsha,
general, wrote as follows:
81 have your letter of February 26,
enclosing communications from the
governor of Florida to you and the
secretary of war. The governor sets
forth very forcefully the facts and the
attendant difficulties in respect to the
non-withdrawal of selected negroes
from Florida.
at is true that although practically
all of the white contingent of the first
draft has been called to the colors, the
negroes are still awaiting call. The
problem of segregating the races has
been, as you can well imagine, most
difficult. 1t was not practicable at the
time of the first organization of the
National Army to provide negro or
ganizations but as soon as the first
organization was completed the war
department set to work to remedy
this fault and it is true that in pur-
suance of comprehensive plan, the
majority of the negroes from the
south have now been withdrawn and
the negroes from Florida will be tax
en- within a very short time. The
southern states have been assured
that, before any new draft of white
men is taken, all the negroes remain
ing under the first draft will be call
ed to the colors.
''The most serious difficulty encoun-
tered in respect to Florida negroes
was that most of the southern states
in which national army cantonments
are located protested vigorously
against the introduction of any ne
groes from other states, with the re-
suit that negroes in states in which
there were no cantonments had to be
mobilized at northern cantonments.
During the inclement weather of the
past winter it was not considered wise
to take Florida negroes out of their
pleasant equitable climate into the ex--
treme cold of any of the northern
camps.
"From what I have said you will
see that the whole problem has been
given earnest consideration and that
what is believed to have been the best
solution under the circumstances has
been reached. You can assure Gov
ernor Cats that the negroes will be
taken from Florida within a short
time.
"Your letter seems to have been
written on the assumption that this
office is responsible for the dates on
which drafted men are called to the
cclors and for the schedule On which
they are called. This is in error. The
provost marshal general is response
BILE for the sequence of calls. That
sequence has to be fixed by the gen
eral staff in the light of all the cir
cumstances of supply and recruitment
that surrounds the problem"
