 There was very heavy fighting today around Chipilly. on the north bank of the Somme, where the Ger mans were trying to hold up the Br1tfsh advance by striking . de- termined blow at the advancing troops.

Camp Funston, Kans., Feb. l, 1918.
Word has just been received from
the Division Ordnance Officer, 92nd
Division, (all colored troops), of the
urgent need for skilled colored men
for service in the divisional Mobile
Ordnance Repair Shop. An unparal'
led opportunity is thereby provided
for the colcred man to continue his
trade, even profit by government in
struction at the established schools OF
instruction. and serve his country in
the capacity he is best fitted for.
AS this is war of machinery and
equipment, the vast preparations
which we are making will come to
naught unless it is maintained at full
efficiency. Behind the lines in France
the Mobile Ordnance Repair Shop, will
be the means of performing this i'm
portant and huge task. The scope OF
it's work will range from canvas and
leather repairing to the trucks, tanks
and artillery.
The pay for enlisted men will vary
from $50 a month for a private to sol
month for Ordnance Sergeant Ap
plications are now being received and
those chosen will have the advantage
of a course of instruction varying from
80 to 70 days at government expense

BOOKER I. WASHINGTON
MEMORIAL FUND GETS
$4,000 FROM THE
LATE GEN. HORACE
CARPENTER.

Among several bequests to
Schools and Hospitals was one of
$50. 900 in the will of the late
General Horace Carpenter, one
of California's "forty-niners,"
left to Tuskegee Institute for the
Booker T. Washington memorial.
This philanthropist and whole
souled American died at the age
of 92 years on January 81, and
with wealth estimated at So, $780,
600 and no relatives, gave his all
to the cause of education and the
relief of suffering humanity. We
are very gateful for this remem-
berance, and if Negroes would
follow in like manner in principle,
surely our quota of the Booker
T. Fund would be raised long
ago. Have we already forgotten

DOUGLASS
AN APPRECIATION

have seen to it that the life story of
Frederick Douglass reduced itself to
a few brief but tragic lines.
But He Who marks the sparrow
fall and clothes the lily with its infin-
ite glory was not unmindful of this
little waif of destiny and had him as
closely and as tenderly in His keep
ing as was that sacred One, Who
more than 1900 years ago He suffered
to be still more lowly born.
The early years of Douglass, so
graphically described by himself; so
seemingly hopeless, so brimful of
hardship, should be thoughtfully stud
led by our Negro youth, for they can
not fail to bring to him both hope and
inspiration
So it is that later on we find in the
foremost rank of the many noble men
of America who have lived and died
and contributed by the thought and
deed to the everlasting glory of the
Republic, the stalwart figure of Fred
erick Douglass He would have been
noble in the country and any age, but
was conspicuously so by reason of the
times in which he lived.
At whatever stage of his career we
may choose to view him, the inteul-
gent mind experiences sense of ele-
vation-a moral looking-up that is
both a pleasure and inspiration.
The half-fed, barefoot boy with
cheerful spirit, teaching himself to
read and write with an indomitable
courage, is no less admirable than the
forceful man, Indifferent to bodily
harm, defiant of the mob and elo-
quently employing his remarkable tai
ents for the oppressed of mankind.
The hardships endured; the opposi-
tion met and disposed of; the diff
culties overcome; the accomplish
ment of seeming impossibilities; the
distinction are all a part of the re-
markable life story of Frederick Doug
lass
Of the many engaging attributes or
this great character, perhaps the
most striking was the unquestioning
belief in the integrity of his manhood
and it's rights This too, that in all
circumstances and whenever possible
he extended the protection and bene-
fit of his influence to even the most
humble of his people, and to the very
end was foremost in advocacy Of the
largest civic privilege and the broad
est human rights.
mo Compromise" was SO plainly
photographed on his leonine brow that
wrong, injustice and the thousand
meannesses which fasten themselves
to human character, were hastily
thrust out of sight at his approach.
Could the influence that tided the
cause of emancipation be accurately
judged, a double measure of credit
would doubtless be accorded Freder-
ick Douglass. This too, without in
any sense Withholding just ackonwl-
edgement to all others.
The most crucial epoch of Ameri-
can history, is the one also that is
richest in opportunity, of all the try
ing periods of our national life.

the Civil War, being the period in
which the clash of contending opin-
ions was most violent and unyielding,

This Association, composed OF rep

against which we protest are indefen

offensive and dangerous to the public
welfare when the nation is engaged
