mated and here Catherine de Medici
reigned, poisoned her many noblemen
and noblewomen who became victims
of her displeasure. and here she died.
AS one roams through the corridors,
royal bed chambers, libraries, counsel
and throne and bisst roatas or this his
torical old chateau, still rich in its
original decorations and settings, the
royal ghosts of the hoary past seem to
pass in review before you. This old
chateau, at divers times, was occupied
by every one of Frances reigning
kings and queens down to Napoleon.
To whatever point the many officers
ordered here for reclassification or re-
cuperation may be sent, they seem to
find much satisfaction in having the
unusual opportunity of visiting and
roaming through the old historical
Castle of Blois, which has detied six
centuries to shatter or decay it. And
the sleepy, historical town that lies
below and around the Castle OF Blois,
with its incompara BILE architecture, it's
massive walls its towers and interior
decorations which the present day
with all of civilizations progress, can
not equal, unfolds to our colored sol
diers so much of the past as to, at
least partially, compensate them for
having been ordered to this casualty
camp located nearby, where seven real
live generals, score or more of
colonels and majors and captains and
lieutenants too numerous to be men
toned, some of them colored, anxious
ly await further orders. Quite COM
placently and unmurmuringly they are
doing the "watchful waiting stunts
Colored officers awaiting reclassifi-
cation form less than per cent of the
total number OF this casualty camp,
and only perhaps about l per cent of
the total number of commissioned col
ored officers in the army. This is
quite a tribute to the efficiency of col
ored officers. But who would not COM
placently and unmurmuringly wait
where much of Francois long past his
tory was made? Here Victor Hugo
once lived, and here he wrote the first
chapters of his immortal Les Miser-
ables"; near here still stands the
castles of Cardinal Amboise and the
Duke of Epernon; the church of St
Vinbuiltcent, erected in 1920; and in
which are the tombs of CASTOR of Or
leans and Mademoiselle de Montpen-
sier; the church of st. Laumrt, built
in the thirteenth century, ard the old

and considerate treatment as | was ac-
corded by General Rosenbaum, the
commandant at this camp. He per-
sonally conducted me through the bar
racks on foot and then accompanied
me, in his automobile, on tour oil
the grounds. He assured me, and
later confirmed it in conversation with
the colored officers, that there is alb
solutely no discrimination, because OF
color, tolerated at this camp, either in
barracks, mess or other assignments.
He spoke most highly of the colored
officers and soldiers stationed at this
camp, and said he was perfectly Will
ing to be quoted as saying the colored
men under him were splendid soldiers.
He apparently took great pride IN
telling of how quickly colored soldiers
learned their duties and how punctual
and precise they were in performing
duties.
Another white officer at this cas-
ualty camp, whose considerateness of
and fine treatment accorded colored
soldiers entities him to be mentioned
in this letter, is Lieut.. C. H. Hagar of

Near hear and easily and quickly ac-

most famous chateau in France, which,
although erected in the thirteenth cen

preservation. This old castle has
tragic history. Here Louis of Orleans
was assassinated in 1407, Louis XII

Colored Stevedores Doing Essential
Work at Base Ports.

.&~A OMEWHERE in France: Fig
- ures just made available show
that for the month of September
there was handled at the Ameri-
can base ports in France 767, GAS
tons, or a daily average of 25,5SS tons,
an increase of nearly 10 per cent over
August When it is considered that
colored stevedores handled by far the
largest per cent of this tonnage, some
idea can be former of the very impor-
tant service colored stevedores are
rendering the government here in
France, and how necessary are they to
the success of the Allies. The work
of colored stevedores may be menial
and is laborious, but it is as essential
as the manning of guns at the front
Fact is, without these stevedores first
unloading and aiding in transporting
the guns, munitions and supplies to
the front, there would be no manning
of guns at the front. One who sees
the stevedores work notes with what
rapidity and cheerfulness they work,
and what "a very important cog they
are in Mars machinery. The colored
stevedore has greater endurance than
the others and because of the absolute
necessity of stevedores to aid the men
at the front, the employment or draft
ing of so many colored stevedores be-
comes compliment

FAITHFUL PATRONS "A FAITHFUL STORE

Storekeeping conditions have changed con- siderably in two years. The difficulties sur- rounding the manufacture and transporta- ton of merchandise have developed many new problems for the storekeeper to solve. This store with it's closely knit organiza- ton has reacted against the difficulties and overcome them in many instances to the advantage of our loyal and faithful patronage.
 Where the difficulties have been insur- mountable and possibly prices have had to advance, we have noted with the deepest gratitude the unswerving faith of our cus toners who have accepted these conditions without question.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-03-04
We are also thankful

that many of our customers have been pay ing cash to greater degree than ever. We also note that customers with charge ac- counts have been more thoughtful and more prompt in the settlement of them. These things tend to tighten our load and help us to help you.
 Most of the merchandise this store buys is bought on cash basis, enabling us to en- joy discounts which are in turn passed to our customers.
 All that can be done to protect our patrons in qualities and prices is being done and will be done in the years to come.
