the negro race. and one of the matters
that struck them as being of grave i'm

reading for them. This led to the or

The furry caused by their work has
passed. The resentment, always
smculdering. against the lynching of
negroes has been quoted by the Presi-
dents proclamation and the way in
which it has been received throughout
the. country Negro leaders every
where have been constantly active in
waning their people that now, of ali
times, was not the time TO let race
feeling get the better of them, and
they have carefully and vigorously ex-
posed the German agents and their
claims
Perhaps the most pestiferous OF all
the German propagandists was a man
named Freudenhelmer, who worked
among the negroes in Harlem. He was
reported to the government by negroes,
and twenty Of them aided by their
testimony IN the conviction which
brought him a twenty-year sentence.
The result Of the negro leaders work
shows in the fact that though thery

With dislo7al u-terances not one is a
negro. Nor was there a negro among

to-day are more pronounced than at

the figures do not look large, let it be
remembered that the race is barely half
century from slavery and that his
means are slender. The negro believes

Just as the marines have the SO

Army claims the distinction Of being

It was in the late days Of that
fateful rlonth of August, 1914, that a
column of British, gray with dust and
parched by the sun, tramped wearily
along a French road in the direction
Of the sea.
Brussels, that illfated capital Of
Belgium, had just fallen before the
invaders. Most of the men bore
gns OF conflict, here bandaged
hand. there a splint-wrapped fore
army or a bloody shoulder.
They were passing through a tiny
village, silent and deserted, when a
Girl rushed into the roadway: Stop,
Sergeant we have some hot tea and
fresh bandages" The Sergeant look
ed duly, and then when he caught
sight of the familiar uniform he
brightened

At present there are about 1000

are working with our American boys.
in response to urgent solicitation OF

The Salvation Army Sas been quick
TO discern right and wrong, and very

was quick to detect its evil designs
