SACRIFICE FINGER TO
STAY IN war

parlS,-Attcr having Oecn
taken out of the trenches be-
cause of his stiff index finger,
and fearing that he would be
invalided out of the war en-
tirely. Bob" Scanlon, the
American Negro prize fighter
wko has been in the French
Legion for nearly three years,
recently went to London and
ordered the surgeon OF mill
tary hospital there to chop"
his finger off.
The surgeon demurred.
Chop it off, demanded
Scanlon.
Then. seeing the doubtful
look in the surgeons eyes.
Scanlon added quickly:
"Oh, I'm no sfacker. don't
want that finger off so can't
pull a trigger again. My mid
die finger still good and they
won't have me around with
my forehnger stiff. ] can con
vince them I've used my mid
die finger from childhood and
then they'll let me 60 back to
the boys in the legion
Scanlon was led into the op
Grafton room. He refused to
take an ancsthetic. He said
I've seen enough blood in
this war, and some Of it's been
my own. guess | can stand
a little more of it. Get out
your cleaver.''
While Scanlon looked on
without a grimace. the fore
1nger was cut of close to the
knuckle. A young American
volunteer nurse tainted as she
helu the basin. and Scanlon
Rrinned in amusement as a
Young doctor picked her up
and carried her of.
Scanlon arrived in Paris
last week and is now back
with the I7oth Regiment. His
finger has completely healed.
He writes that he now has a
machine gun Of his own and
that all is "hunky dory.' Scan
Ion doesn't care whether he is
transferred to the American
force or not. He writes:
Il want to be where there s
something doing. When
things start up on the Ameri-
can front l want, to come over
but things Amt as lively there
now as they are here"
Scanlon has taken part in a
number of amateur bouts at
the front and also has been
"developing'' several promis-
ing Young French lightweights
in the ranks. The American
Lecionnaire has been three
times wounded.

The colored citizen has re

One thousand two hundred

his duty faithfully aud cheer

who loves his country and is

for a true soldier to avoid

by his legal rights. because
trouble comes as conse-
quence of the exercise Of

Those who object to it say
that it will stifie even legiti

spite of any objections the
amendment is likely to be
adopted. Before it is adopted
its language may be somewhat
mpdihed. but as originally

this amendment become a

last week by Secretary McAdOO.
In fixing three weeks as the length
OF the campaign for the fourth loan.
instead of the four weeks as in pre-
vious loans, Treasury officials plan
Tor a more intensive campaign. A
shorter campaign, it was said. viii
also enable more business men to en-
list as workers.
The date of the campaign was an
nounced at this time in order TO allow
campaign organizations to prepare
for the sale of bonds and to prevent
the planning of other campaigns
which might interfere with the float
ing OF the loan.
Although official announcement
has not been made, the amount Of
the loan viii probably be $4,000. OOO.-
600, and the rate of interest which
the bonds will bear Al per cent
Should the treasury decide soon to
place on the market certificates of
Indebtedness redeemable next June
when taxes are paid. the amount Of
the loan may be reduced.
Secretary MeAdoO has said thar
he does not contemplate making an
extended speaking tour for the
fourth loan as he has done in prev
ious campaigns.
Officials in charge Of the can
paign have announced that a special
