GERMAN SOIL.
Gallant e2d Division Plays Big Role in
Advance on Metz.

Gallant e2d Division Plays Big Role in
Advance on Metz.
By Ralph w. Tyler.
ARTICLE VIII.
Somewhere in France, Nov. 10.-In
the battle raging today in the Ameri-
can advance toward Metz, the 92d Di-
vision, one of the Colored combatant
divisions over here, played a big role.
Not only was its black infantry and
machine gun units up at the front-in
the thickest of it, but its artillery, the
167th Brigade of field artillery, was
on the line, behaving like veterans,
laying down a barrage for the infan-
try that was marvelously effective,
and they established a reputation
which has been made by but few,
among French, British or Americans,
of laying down a barrage that did not
entrap, and fatally so, their own
men.
This has been a glorious day for
the black soldiers. The fighting is
still on, and l have just received the
intimation that the casualty toll may
be heavy, ~depressingly so, for Metz,
and the sector around about it, is
strongly fortified by the Germans, and
resistance determined. Metz is con-
sidered by experts to be the strongest
fortified city in the world, almost, if
not SO, as ~impregnable as the fortifi-
cations of the Dardanelles. But the
Americans are hammering away at it,
and only the signing of the armistice
terms, by the Germans, by II o'clock
tomorrow, will save Metz from falling.
Even as it is, Colored soldiers are now
IN German soil.
The husky invaders include the
Colored soldiers of the 92d Division,
embracing the "Buffaloes'' or seth,
the 365th and 366th regiments of in
fantry and the 18th Brigade of Field
Artillery, composed Of the 349th, 35Oth
and 351st regiments and the 317th
Trench Mortar Battery, and all are
conducting themselves with a forti-
tude and valor that have won for
them high praise from their command
ing officers every time they have been
put to any test.

Our football boys attended the game
between Lincoln High and Lincoln In
stitute. They reported an enjoyable
evening. ..On Monday last the Lin
coin Institute eleven downed the West
ern University Soldier eleven to the
tune of 21-7. The result was a sur
prise as all we're confident of victory
for the khaki boys. . The Training
Detachment, acting upon orders for
rehabilitation, left Western Univer-
sity Tuesday, the men departing for
their homes in Missouri and Kansas.
PROF. G. B. Hosmer of Tuskegee
addressed the Western University
Forum last Sunday evening. Pro
fessors Benson and Burlong of the Lin.
coin Institute faculty were ~attedants
upon our chapel services Monday and
brought greetings from our sister in
stitution in Missouri. -. Several dele
gates to the Wyandotte Sunday School
Convention were Chapel visitors last
Thursday and gave helpful and highly
inspiring advice, especially along the
line of reforms in Sunday School pre-.
sentation. Among those present were
Mr.. S. V. Haynes, the Rev. Mr.. Phen,
mel and Secretary ]. H. Engle. THE
December Rhetorioals were given last
Friday evening in tn auditorium of the
Studio Building. A marked increase
in the attendance of community
friends was noted, the house being
filled, thus evidencing the already
growing interest of the community in
these monthly programs. Each par
ticipant acquitted himself creditably.
A feature of the program was the
second part-a playlet entitled THE
Bantu Chieftain' written by Prof. Cas-
well w. Crews. The play deals with
the pride, the achievement of the
proud Bantu tribes of Africa and de-
picts their possession of courage by
reason of which the chieftain commits
suicide rather than be taken captive
and brought to American shores. The
part of the chieftain was played eX'
ceptionally we'll by Mr.. Wilson Green,
Mr.. John H. Martin in the role of Lang
ton and Mr.. Wilbur Washington as
Burke, both English slave-traders, par
trayed well their parts. A good sup
porting cast of slaves and poor whites
completed the company.
