AMERICAN REGIMENT OF
NEGROES FOOLED FOES

A regiment of raw negro troops
lighting along the Marne front, not
only stopped a fierce German attack
that had been planned with great
care, but actually drove the enemy
back.
The gallant performance Of the
regiment under It's baptism of fire
proved so remarkable that the
French commander OF the sector has
cited the whole regiment as worthy
of receiving the war cross. AS Of
fetal report Of the battle brings out
interesting details and gives credit
TO the officers and men for fine
fighting qualities displayed in their
initial experience under shell ana

trolled his guns by rolling from one

Under a violent onslaught the ne
groes stuck to thir posts, carried out
every order without hesitation, often
under CALLING fire and showed a high
degree of skill with their weapons,
coupled with GOODNESS and courage.
Machine guns that jammed wert
partly dissembled and cleaned under
fire, continuing in action throughout
the engagement.
There were many instances of in
dividual bravery during the action.
Private Howard Gaillard, with a
small rapid-fire piece, was unable
from his position to get acurate aim,
so he coolly and with utter disregard
Of danger, mounted the parapet and
while the enemy's bullets were fly

piece from the hip, first at one group

another. Privates Smithfield Jones

mended the Incorporation of the
following paragraph in the legisla-
tion recently passed by congress
authorizing the president to con-
troll the railroads during the war:
From said revolving fund of five
hundred million dollars the presi-
dent may eXpend such amount as
he may deem necessary or desirable
for the purchase. construction or
utilization and operation of boats,
barges and tugs and other trans
portation facilities on the inland
coastwise waterways, and may in
the acquisition, operation and use
of such facilities create or employ
such agencies or enter into such
contracts and agreements as he
shall deem in the public interest
"A great victory for inland wa
terways was won when congress
passed the law authorizing the
president to build boats. barges and
tugs and operate barge lines on the
inland waterways q the United
States. but unless the authority
thus conferred is promptly taken
advantage of by the Government.
the agricultural, industrial and
commercial interests of this great
