officers, white as we'll as colored, who
are to be reclassified as the result of

have never, during my stay in
France. been accorded such courteous
and considerable treatment as / was
accorded by General Rosenbaum, the
commandant at this camp. He per-
sonally conducted me through the
barracks on foot, and then accom-
panied me, in his automobile, on a
tour of the grounds. He assured me,
and | later confirmed it in converse
ton with the colored officers, that
there is absolutely no discrimination,
because of color, tolerated at this
camp, either in barracks, mess or
other assignments. He spoke most
highly of the Colored officers and SOL
diers stationed at this camp, and said
he was perfectly willing to be quoted
as saying the colored men under him
were splendid soldiers. He apparent
" took great pride in telling of how
quickly ,colored soldiers learned their
duties, and how punctual and precise
they were in performing duties
Another white officer at this casu-
atty camp, whose considerateness Of,
and fine treatment accorded colored
soldiers, entities him to be mentioned
in this letter, is Lieut.. c. II. Hagar,
of Chicago, who is in c barge of the

historic old Castle of Blois, perhaps
the most famous chateau in France,
which although erected in the thir-
teenth century, is still in a marvellous
state of preservation. This old castle
has tragic history. Here Louis of
Orleans was assassinated in 1407,
Louis XII was born, the Duke de
Guise and his brother, the Cardinal of
Lorraine, were murdered at the order
of Henri the third, here Henri III
himself was assassinated, and here
Catherine de Medici reigned, poisoned
her many noblemen and noblewomen
who became victims of her dis
pleasure, and here she died. AS one
roams through the corridors, royal
bed chambers, libraries, counsel and
throne and ball rooms of this histor-
ical old chateau, still rich in its
original decorations and settings, the
royal ghosts of the hoary past seem
to pass in review before you. This
old chateau, at divers times, was oc-
cupied by every one of Frances
-reigning kings and queens down to
Napoleon.
To whatever point the many of
ficers ordered here for reclassifica-
ton, or recuperation, may be sent,
they seem to find much satisfaction
in having the unusual opportunity of
visiting and roaming through the old
historical Castle of Blois, which has
defied six centuries to shatter or de-
cay it. And the sleepy, historical
town that lies below and around the
Castle of Blois, with its incompatible
architecture, its massive walls, its
towns and interior decorations which
the present day, with all of civiliza-
tons progress, cannot equal, unfolds
to our colored soldiers so much of
the past as to, at least partially, COM
pensate them for having been ordered
to this casualty camp located nearby,
where seven real live generals, score
or more of colonies and lieutenant
colonies and majors and captains and
lieutenants too numerous to be men
toned, some of them colored, anxious
" await further orders. Quite COM
placently, and unmurmuringly, they
are doing the "Watchful waiting"
stunt
Colored officers waiting reclassifi-
cation form less then two per cent of
the total number of this casualty
camp, and only, perhaps, about one
per cent of the total number of COM
missioned colored officers in the army.
This is quite tribute to the efficiency
of colored officers. But who would
not complacently and unmurmuringly
wait where much of Frances long
past history was made? Here Victor
Hugo once lived, and here he wrote

Can there be any doubt as to which

the American voter, when he once I'M

between them? The Republicans have
proven themselves fitted to govern the
nation in military crisis, as they had
previously proven themselves fitted
to properly develop it's prosperity. 1t

you going to do? Hire B.? That is
to your only alternative, but are you
going to do It?
In this hypothetical case your po-
sltion Is analogous to that of every
Michigan voter In the matter of the
United States senatorship. It is New
berry or it is Ford and there is no
issue excepting fitness as between
these two men.
If the fortune spent by Ford in his
memorable peace at any price" cam
paign had been as effective as he in
tended 1t to be, all Europe would now
be PROSTATE before the German and
America would have to face the Kali
ser's armies alone aD. without a gun
ready to defend itself No one can
deny that.
On the other hand, while Ford's
dangerous anti-preparedness cam
paign was going on Newberry was
seeing clearly that America must, to
preserve itself, and do its duty to man.
kind, inevitably enter the struggle. He
was for getting ready-speedily, thor
oughly and was prompt to volunteer
his services to accomplish that end.
Ford boasts that he knows little of
history and admits that he has taken
small interest in the political affairs
of his country. He has been accused
Of being an internationalist, rather
than an American, and he hasn't de-
MED it.
Newberry has been a member Of
the cabinet of one of our great Pres
idents, is student of history and
craftsmanship, an unimpeachable
patriot, and even those who oppose
him politically admit that he is first
class senatorial timber"
A. or B.-Newberry or Ford? It
must be one or the other. What is
the answer? It's easy for me.

REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS
SHOW THE WAY.

The Democrats are claiming in the
congressional campaign now on that
credit for the selective draft act
should go to them. When its wisdom
is at last apparent to everyone they
would like to appropriate for them
selves the political capital that right
w accrues from provident legislation.
AS a simple matter of record 1t ap-
pears that though the Democrats held
majority in Congress 1t has only
been through Republican leadership
and through Republican votes that the
nation has been provided promptly
with the superb army which is now
the nations pride and glory ana
which bids fair to be the savior Oh
the world. From the beginning the
Renublicans have advocated and sup
norted "Win the War Now" policies.
When the Democrats pettifogged on
the selective draft measure the Re
nublicans struck straight from the
sboulder: when the Democrats could
NOT make up their minds, the Republi-
cans were obliged to do it for them;
,,,han the Democrats were fishlng
around with countless excuses for de-
Law. the Republicans possessed the vi
sion of plain military necessity;
u,ben the Democrats were playing
their petty time serving game OF po-
,itical trade and maneuver, the Re-
nublicans rose, as statesmen, to the
imperative need Of the moment.
The record Of the two parties on
Tho selective draft laws offers clear
contrast in character. The Democrats
S,d not know what to do and therefore
tried to do nothing; they ended up
by seeing things only after they had
passed by. The Republicans saw
clearly and quickly what was neces-
gary to do, and then stood ready to act

"NeSOberry or Ford? Easy
for Me-" Says This Voter

The Detroit News, always anti-Re-
publican, loses no opportunity to show
its displeasure with the Republican
voters of the state because they pre-
ferred Commander Truman H. New
berry, Of the United States navy, to
Henry Ford as their senatorial candi-
date. Since the primary the News
has devoted many columns to abusing
the Newberry campaigners and to
praising Henry Ford. One Of its read
ers has written it the following jar

How TO Rest varleose Veins.

Douglas II. Stewart writes IN
Medical Council: "When person with
a varicose leg goes to bed he usually
sits upon the bed and draws his leg In
after him. The veins Of that leg are
dilated and remain more or less SO
for hours, therefore the vein walls do
not rest. Let that person go to bed,
hoist his feet up In the air, the higher
the better; let him keep them there
for five minutes and let him lower
them slowly to the recumbent position.
The veins are empty and the vein walls
rest. After a few weeks of this exer-
else many patients declare that their
whole sleep Is more restful."
