GERMAN GERMAN PR PROF PkkGGoiA!DDA
ABOUT NEGRO TROOPS
REPORT or CoLoRED SOLDIERS
BEING PLACED IN MOST
DANGEROUS POSITIONS
UNTRUE.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Formal de-
NAL of reports circulated in this coun-
try, presumably by German agents,
hat negro soldiers with the Ameri-
can eXpeditionary forces are being
given more dangerous work than the
white troops was cabled to the war
department today by General PERISH
ing The message said the negroes
we're in high spirits and that their
only complaint was that they we're
not given more active service.
General Pershing said he could not
commend too highly the spirit
shown among the colored combat
troops who exhibit fine capacity for
quick training and eagerness for the
most dangerous work"
The generals cablegram which was
in reply to one of inquiry sent by
Secretary Baker, said:
THE stories, probably invented by
German agents, that colored soldiers
in France are always placed in most
dangerous positions and sacrificed to
save white soldiers: that when
wounded they are left on the ground
10 die, without medical attention,
etc, are absolutely false.
THE following are the losses as
reported up to June is in the four
colored combat regiments now in
France 369th infantry, died of
wounds, 3 died Of disease, 8; Sc
yerely wounded, 2; 37Oth infantry.
died of wounds, none; died of dis
case, 3; severely wounded, none:
57lst infantry, died of wounds, none
died of disease, s; severely wounded
none; 372nd infantry. died of wounds,
none; died of disease, 3; severely
wounded none. These figures show
conclusiyely negro troops have not
thus far occupied positions danger
Gus as those occupied by white troops
and that their physical condition is
excellent.
"A tour of inspection just COM
pleted among American negro troops
by officers of the train section Of
these headquarters shows the com
paratiyely high degree of training and
efficiency among them Their train
ing is identical with that Of other
American troops serving with the
French army the effort being to lead
ALI American troops gradually to
heavy combat duty by a preliminary
service in trenches in quiet sectors
Colored troops in trenches nave been
particularly fortunate. as one regi
ment has been there month before
any losses were suffered. This was
almost unheard of heretofore on the
western front
The exploits of two colored in
fantrymen some weeks ago in repell
ing a much larger German patrol
killing and wounding several Ger
mans and winning Croix de Guerre by
their gallantry has aroused a fine
spirit of emulation among their fell
lows, all Of whom are looking forward
ito more active service. The only re-
eret expressed by colored troops is
that they are not given more dan
gerous work to do They are espe-
cially amused at the most dangerous
positions and all are DESTROYS of hav-
ing more active service than has been
permitted them thus far. | cannot
commend too highly the spirit shown
among the colored combat troops who
exhibit fine capacity for quick train
ing and eagerness for the most dan
gerous work"

Latest Instructions From War
Industries Board Requires
Publishers To Practice
Utmost Economy

The War Industries Board author
ICES the following:
Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of
the War Industries Board, announces
that the plan for conservation Of
news print paper has been extended
to include country weeklies. The plan
as formulated by the war committee
of the country weekly publishers and
accepted by the War Industries Board
through Thomas E. Donnelley, chief
Of the Pulp and Paper Section, con-
templates saving of Is per cent
in the use Of news-print paper in
the industry as a whole.
Prominent features of the plan in
clude: Discontinuance Of papers to
subscribers three months after the
date of expiration of their subscrip-
tions, unless the subscriptions are re-
newed and paid for; stopping the
publication Of extra copies for ad.
vertising stimulation; stopping re-
turns of unsold copies from news
dealers; stopping the use of free
copies in exchange for other publica,
tions except those published within
the same county or within 4O-mile
radius; and q reduction Of rs per
cent of all publication space in ex-
ces of eight pages.
The following is the official an
nouncement:

ity for coal on the distinct under
standing that the greatest possible
economy in the use of paper be ex-
ercised and that the reduction in the
use of paper by the newspapers shall
be Is per cent.
Paper mills will be put upon the
priority list for coal, conditional upon
their signing pledge that they will
furnish no paper to any customer

who will not also sign a pledge in
duplicate that he will exercise the
greatest possible economy in the use
of paper, and will observe all rules
and regulations of the conservation
division and the pulp and paper sec
ton of the War Industries Board
These pledges are now being prepared
and will be furnished shortly.
The war committee of weekly
newspaper publishers feels that the
necessary saving of is per cent should
come out of the industry as whole,
and in order to accomplish this pur-
pose made the following suggestions,
which were accepted by the pulp and
paper section of the War Industries
Board, and are to be effective Sep
tember 1, 1918.
Each publisher shall eliminate the
following wasteful practices. If fo,
any reason a publisher desires to con-
tinue any Of these practices, he must
adopt some other methods to accom-
plish at least Is per cent reduction
in paper used. If by Nov. l, 1918
a saving of Is per cent has not been
made in the industry as whole, the
matter will be reviewed by the pulp
and paper section and further cur.
tailments will be necessary.
1. No publisher Of weekly, semi
weekly, or triweekly newspaper shall
use in its production any paper ex.
cept newsprint and of weight on

32-pound). All stocks now on hand
may be used whether newsprint, ma.
chine finished, or sized and super.
calendered and regardless of weight.
2. No publisher may continue sub
scriptions after three months after
date of expiration, unless subscrip.
tions are renewed and paid for.

Library of Congress and other libra
ries which will agree to bind for per.
manent keeping; except to govern.
ment departmental libraries which
use said publications in their work;
and except for similar reasons.
4. No publisher shall give free
copies to advertisers, except not
more than one copy each for check
ing purposes.

More War Industries Are
To'Be Placed In South
During Remainder
OF Conflict
Congested Condition Of East
Sections Make Such Con-
templated Federal Action
Very Probable

Washington, Aug. ga large
portion Of the industrial expansion
during the remainder of the war may
be expected in the South. A COM
plete survey of the governments in
dustrial plans has been given to Sen
ator Ransdell by Secretary McAdoo,
Bernard NJ. Baruch, the chairman of
the War Industries Board and other
officials.
Convinced that the South is in
position to render highly efficient
service to the nation in an industrial
way, Senator Ransdell has completed
series of conferences on this sub
iect The most important of these
conferences, perhaps, was one this
morning with Mr.. Baruch.
The feeling has existed since the
beginning Of the war that proper con-
sideration has not been given to the
industrial possibilities Of the South.
This applies both to go: ernment and
to private enterprise. The wealth
of raw materials, the proximity to
the seaboard. the mild climate and
the transportation facilities, less bur-
dened than in other sections have
been regarded obvious reasons for
such industrial development. The
overwhelming tendency. however,
was to crowd into the states along
the Atlantic seaboard, north of the
Potomac, a high percentage of all
Industrial operations. This reached
a point finally where it became
physical impossibility to transport
coal to the factories in this congest-
ed district and to haul away their
finished products.
Were the factories north of the Po-
tomac spread out equitably through
out the South, the efficiency of these
same plants would be increased fifty
per cent. This condition finally gave
rise to hard and fast order that no
new industrial plants may be estab-
lished in the congested sections of
the East.

ABILITY of America to meet an

ABILITY of America to meet an
emergency.
For here a city, apparently per
manent, has sprung up. Just to oper-
ate these warehouses and railroad
yards, thousands of men are required.
Their barracks form a good sized
town. There are mess halls and Of
ficers' quarters. There are congre-
eating places for the men, notably a
number Of huge Y. M. C. A. huts.
There is the Allies Hut, which serves
English, French and Americans; there
is hut exclusively for the colored
laborers; there is an officers club,
operated by the "Y," with canteen,
billiard table, lounge and other com
forts; and there are two enormous
huts for the enlisted men, with room
to seat in each upwards of seven hun
dred andsffty. These are provided
with piano, monographs, canteens

how to talk to the Annex boys.
Thnse places are the social center
and give the social life to the com
missary town. 1t needs some relax
alton, some place to go, for it is a
remarkably busy and hard working
place. Daily huge trains come in
with loads to be stored; other huge
trains come in to be loaded with sup.
plies for the front. Nobody has a
minute to loaf.

here, we are told, this is not even
the largest Of Uncle Sans depots. 1t
looks to a man as if the United States
meant business in this war, and was
making preparations to stay right
here until the Hun was disposed of
for good and all. Anyhow that is
what the boys in khaki will tell you.
