NEGROES GLORIOUS FIGHTING RECORD
GIVES THEM RIGHT To BENEFITS OF FULL CITIZENSHIP

WASHINGTON. d. C, Aug. H.
France has her Blue Devils"-
fierce fighting men.
America has her BLACK Devils.-
hercer fighting men.
The negro race has already proved
! itself In this war. Hundreds of Afri-
! cans ~colonials serving in the French
and British armies showed the huns
how a black man can hght-but It
took the American negro to put the
finishing touches on their education-
The result is that while a German
soldier might stand up and fight q
white soldier. he now filings down his
rifle and shouts "Kamerad!" with all
his lung-power when a negro face
shows behind an American bayonet.
An American negro regiment took
a valorous part in the fighting east
of Rheims on July Is and 16 when
the German drive was stopped. So
furiously did they fight that they
earned a contemptuous but apprecia-
tive place in the German official re-
ports of the defeat.
Two negro divisions-the 92d and
the s3rd-are known to be In action
| on the western ron There may be
more of them. Some of them are in
training In England, and the English
tell many tales of their humor and
whimsical attitude toward the q

| organized under the command of
| Maj. Gen. C. G.. Ballou and Brig. Gen.
| Roy c. Hoffman respectively. The
| company units ore in large measure
commanded by colored officers.
About $50 commissioned officers
were graduated from the first rain
ing camp for colored officers at Des
! Moines, and these officers have for
the most part made good and are In
| command of troops of their race.
Under the first draft there were
737. 62S negro reg~istrants. or nearly
| eight per cent. of the country's total
| registration. OF this number 100000
have been called to camp and the
majority OF them are now at the
front.
About 1000 negroes, including ESQ
| medical officers, have been commits
| stoned as captains. first ~Heutenants
and second lie~utenants.
In addition to the fighting mem
there are thirty-four colored chap
lains in the army. and 160 negroes
| with the negro branches of the Y. M.
C. A.. at the camps in America and
in France

TUSKEGEE, Ala. Aug. 1.-THE
negro will follow the American nag
wherever it nay lead. There are
now W ESQ. 900 negroes in the
army. The negro is intensely loyal
and patriotic. BY the record he las
already made in France he has earn
ed the right of all the benefits Of full
citizenship-that act of simple JUS
tice for which his heart Graves more
than anything else"
In this way did DR.. Robert r.
Motion, principal of Tuskegee Insti-
tute, recognized leader of the negroes
since the death Of Booker I. Wash
ington, answer the question: what
is the negro doing in the war;"
isn't 1t significant" went on DIR.
Motion. that intelligent colored peo-
pie at hrst feared that the negro
might be deprived of the citizens
right and privilege to defend his
country?
There was general rejoicirf: at
the decision to include negroes in the
draft. There was renewed rejoicing
when Secretary Baker, in spite of
great opposition, decided to place
colored troops in the same canton
ments with white troops.
Surely by his loyalty in the war
for democracy the negro Will have
earned his full share with white
people of all those advantages of
public education and protection which
good governments should provide.
81 love my rae today more than
ever before because not q single
negro has been arrested as a spy.
Absolutely the negroes have stood
loyal to their country.
81 have told our young negroes at
Tuskegee and al Hampton to give
their country all their support aAd
backing so that those boys-black,
white and red-in the trenches may
know that together with white peo-
pie we negroes are back of them. The
negroes have bought generously of
liberty bonds and thrift stamps.
"As to the negro as a Fighter, Col.
James A. Moss, of the seth Infantry,
who has served eighteen years with
colored troops, says that, properly
trained, the colored man makes as
good a fighter as any In the world.
The history of the negro In all our
wars proves this. Col. Moss has said
he is glad to command colored troops
in his third campaign.
The colored officers of the negro
regiments are nearly all graduates of
Hampton and Tuskegee. Two Hamp-
ton men have already won the Croix
de Guerre for exceptional bravery.
"The G has passed his proba-
tionary period. He is now ready to
receive full justice all around"

slacker has been landed in the
county workhouse al New Brunswick
IN the person of John s.. Lewis, who
made his home here for several
months.
County Constable Peter Schwei-Kert
arrested the man while al work in the
Parlin powder works and as he could
not show his classification card he has
been remanded to the workhouse until
the exemption board could look more
fully into his case.
Lewis registered and was classified
by the exemption board No /. at
Morristown. He claimed a deferred
classification as an agriculturfst and
1t seems that he falsified this exemp-
ton claim to evade military duty. He
has not followed the farmer employ

that he was purposely evading his
