We are glad to know that Kaiserism

with, the American Negro, the war
has just begun. AS we crossed the
waters to fight Kaiserism, we must
arm ourselves to fight Jim crowism
and every other kind of ism and dis.
elimination that is heaped upon our
race. AS our boys marched shoulder
to shoulder to battle down the Huns
so must we sing together, pray to-
gether and if need be. die together
for the protection of our Fights.
How ARE we successfully to com.
bat these great forces that are sure
to rise against us? l say that we
must do so by raising the standard
of manhood and womanhood. We must
