been so highly respected, and yet
they feel perfectly safe in debating
the policy that shall prevail in this
city and country. There are hundreds
of places where Colored people are
not served in this city, yet they do not
display brazen signs whose insidious
and studied policy is TO hinder and
humiliate a large part of the most
loyal people in America.
Sedition consists of doing or con-
tributing to those things that destroy
the morale and courage of the Amer
lean people and if such unnecessary
signs as these do not do that among
the Negro people, what does? Think
of it,, fighting to the death the Hun
abroad and yet the Hun at home is
permitted to prosecute us to his
hearts desire.
Were it not that this hell hole of
iniquity, and all others of its class
are soon to be put out of business
forever, we would take their pro-Ger-
manism seriously, but urge every Ne
gro that has moved into that block
recently to oppose with all their might
these so-called Americans who try to
create sentiment against us as a race.

Today schools are being opened to all men between the ages Of

of his Identification with government work. 1t does mean, however,
that he will in all probability be permitted to remain in school until

this: YOU have specialized in some line of work that will be of value
n and will therefore be preferred to those whose

degree of efficiency has been reached cards will be issued showing
what has been accomplished. If you volunteer or If you are drafted
fl the service your worth to the government is greater II you are
trained than it could be otherwise. All special work begun in school
is continued when the camp has been reached.
