FROM KNIGHTS OF, COLUMBUS.
NEWS SERVICE.
BY Joseph j. Canavan.

Unofficial reports fltering back from
the fighting front in France have added
the final touch Of amplifcation to the
phrase contained in German official
statement when the big drive by Amer
lean troops was at it's height few
weeks ago, and which noted that black
Americans had hammered their way
gloriously through the Hun lines.
It was not, though, until the battle
was over, according to the unofficial ver-
sion Of the same fighting, that the brig
ade commander summoned the colonel
Of = Negro regiment before him and de-
manded to know in terse military fash
ion why that colonel had not maintained
better control over his troops, and why,
above everything else, he had not
" stopped his men and kept them from
passing beyond their appointed objec-
tives, and, in fact, hacking their way
through ahead Of their own protective
barrage.
''Stop thems'' queried the colonel.
{. Stop them7 Hell, man, how could you
expect me to stop them when the whole
German army couldn't do itf''
The brigade commander 8 reply is not
of record, either officially or unof1icially,
but the story is only one Of thousand
that is being told Of the admirable dash
and courage of the Americans who COM
pose the Negro units Of the expedition
ary force and which every day are cut
there in the thick Of the fighting and
holding their place in the line wherever
they may be called upon to do their
military bit.
In just the same manner, the men who
compose those regiments are partaking
Of the carefully built up welfare work
that is being accomplished on both sides
Of the water by the Knights Of Column
bus Committee on War Activities. In
fact, they are receiving special atten-
tion, both in the camps in this country
and X. Of G. huts in France, and the
work among the Negro troops is being
broadened as rapidly as the numbers OF
the Negro troops grow, under the opera
tion Of the selective service laws and by
voluntary enlistment, the latter appar-
emily being particularly inviting
method for Negroes getting into the
army.
Under the system as it now has been
worked out, the Negro soldier needs no
other countersign than his khaki uni
form to gain for him everything of ad-
vantage offered by the Knights service.
True, there are places, both in this conn
try and abroad, where the knights OF
Columbus have erected special huts for
the use Of the Negro soldiers. But
where that has been done, it has been at
the express request of Negro soldiers
themselves, who in numerous instances
have expressed preference for a build
ing Of their own, where they may enjoy
their own pleasures in their own way,

"A Useful and influential Lawyer and

We are indeed sorry to chronicle the
death Of our good friend, distinguished
citizen and prominent lawyer, James

brief illness Of only IL days. He had
been operated on for appendicitis, from
which he had been sufferer for more
than ten years, from the operation and
other complications he was unable to
Withstand.
Attorney James B. Rush was born
April 10, 1860, near Rockingham, North
Carolina. Educated in the common and
public schools Of that community and
times later he attended the State Nor
NAL College, and afterwards he entered
Howard University. Studied law in In
dianapolis, Ind, where he was admitted
to practice and settled in Oklahoma

cause Of race trouble Mr.. Rush moved
to Des Moines, Iowa, in 1897, and en-

until the end came. He had built up a
very large practice and his clientage

on account of it's great value in the

THE PRICE FOR FREEDOM

Fifty-three thousand Americans lost
their lives in the recent war tor Llo-
erty. The great bulk Of the Amer'-
can Expeditionary Force will. as
soon as possible, be returned to Their
native land.
Some, it is thought, may be again
with us by Thanksgiving Day, others
in time to partake of Christmas din
ners, while many. more may not see
the land Of their birth before @thc
early part of next year.
There are anxious relatives and
friends in Alexandria ANTICIPATING
the return of loved ones. Letters
are being received occasionally from
their boys "over there and now that
fighting has, ceased, they experience
untold relief. As is stated elsewhere,
hundreds Of bags Of mail were landed
at New YORK yesterday, mostly let
ters from American soldiers, some
of whom are now in Germany. Dur
ing the present week these missives
will be distributed, and many will ~
doubt come to Alexandria.
That there is to be no delay in re-
turning the American army to this
country in order that the men VIM
left to serve the nation may resume
their private business is indicated By I.
teh orders sent TO General Pershiny
authorizing him to return about J.
100000 as soon as transportation
can be provided for them. This is
approximately one-half the American
force in Europe. and it represents
the percentage which will not be
needed in the army of occ.oation to
hold enemy territory pending the de-
cisions of the peace conference. Il is
indicated that the first troops to be
sent home will be railroad artillery.
army artillery, gas troops and tank
troops. Several divisions have been
indicated for early transportation
TO the United States.
