We could hardly employ mar
rover term and fully define the ra-
cial texture of the American.
In fact, to completely compass
the racial scope Of America, we
have to search the authority still
deeper, and by so doing we find
that the Caucasian race includes
a division known as the black
Caucasians. " This terms applies
to a member of Eurafrican race
belonging to lIamjtic stock. - BY
black Caucasians is ussually meant
north Africans and Abyssinians,

BLACK CAUCASIANS

The following, clipped from the
milwaukee, Journal June Q. 1918,
puzzles us. We really do not know
who we are. So often we have
been claSSed rs Negroes, however
faint the trace of Negro blood in
our veins that to be called Black
CaucaSianS arouSeS our SuSpi-
cions. Is it the old story of try
ing to annex all good and great
things to the Caucasian people 9
II looks SO In order 10 do SO. how
ever. il is necessary 10 make eau
casians of the black men who are
playing such an important part in
the successes of this war. and the
journal is not above attempting
this most difficult feat. Truly this
war is working wonders when II
can make CaucaSiauS of the Amerl-
can Negro. What else may result
no one can foretcll The editorial
follows:
The American Race
Just rs matter of speculative
interest. as welt as in point of sci.
cutifc accuracy, it might be prop.
cr to observe that when America
entered the war, il was as the rep
resentative OF the Caucasian race.
That term, though somewhat
broad, appears most nearly to de.
scribe the men and armies who are
the product Of the melting pot.
The dictionary informs us that
Caucasian is member of the
white division or branch Of the
human species. including
nearly all Europeans. both Semi
tic and Aryan an lndo-Euro-
pean.
That looks like us.
A Caucasian is therefore an
Anglo-SaXon. a Teutou, II Slav, a
Latin-in fact. any European. or
Semitic of European origin. The
Caucasian race was the source
whence flowed. in more or less
widely separated streams, the
great nationalitieS of Europe. In

THE CHRISTMAS DRUMS

The Christmas drums are beating,
Triumphantly repeating
The tale of mighty armies
In shock of battle meeting,
The story and the glery
OF fields still wet and CORY,
OF captured farm and village,
And chateau quaint and hoary,
Of banners smoked and tattered,
OF guns and trenches battered,
Of brave battalions charging,
Tho MANNED and blood despatched,
Of how the Hun went under
BY freedom split asunder;
A saga full of wonder.
o! don't you hear them thunder,
The Christmas drums in France.
At Waterloo they rumbled,
At Gettysburg they grumbled,
The ancient power of Prussia
Before their wrath has crumbled,
But never have they sounded
So jubilant, or pounded
So proudly as with vivas
And tears and cheers surrounded,
And bells above them ringing,
And troops behind them swinging,
They roll and thump and rattle
In splendid chorus bringing
The glorious revelation
Unto tortured nation
OF tyranny's cessation,
The music of salvation,
The Christmas drums in France.
-Minna Irving.
