Col. Randle's Letter.
Col. Randle's offer to the govern

My Dear Mr.. President:
The executive and legislative
branches of our. government. COM
posed of men that all ages during the
reverence for the patriotic discharge
of their duties in this worldwide war
for humanity and freedom. have STIR
red to the center both the kinetic and
potential forces of Americans to make
every sacrifice for the liberty of the
world.
After struggling for a quarter OF
a century against the tide. in develop
ing the eastern section of the District
of Columbia. now, when the time has
come to realize on my life's work, l
am prompted by an intense desire to
serve my country more than to make
money. The thought of making
money out of the government during
these war times is repugnant.
G1VeS TO the government.
Therefore. 1 tender the govern
ment. free of cost. the use of all my
land in the District of Columbia dur
ing the continuation of this war. with
out any charge whatever. together
with the use of the E. w. H. traction
railroad: also l donate to the govern
ment the inclosed FIVE liberty bonds.
to be returned to the United States
Treasury for cancellation.
This moment. when our brave SOL
diers on the firing line are being torn
to pieces by every Hades-conceived
instrument of death. on the earth. un-
der the earth and in the air, and their
bodies forming corduroy roads for the
passage of the Huns in their mad
pressure forward and slaughter of
men, all Americans unite in the
and belief that to help ones
country in time of war Is a great
honor and privilege and not a sacrifice.
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) ARTHUR E. RANDLE."

FEATS OF FEARLESS TROOP
Frs ON THE FIRING LINE

Somewhere in France-A sue
cessful raid, planned by one of the
majors of the old 9Th Illinois regi-
ment, who home is at Metropolis,
Ill.,, was made in the VOucharn
sector, and with great daring. The
motor battery of the regiment first
took part in laying down bar
rage fire. The barrage fire began
at 4 o'clock in the morning, just
as the first rays of the sun shone
sluggishly, and but dimly, behind
the horizon. At the hour named,
every gunner was at his gun. The
major flashed an electric signal,
within a minute or two thereaf-
ter all guns fired simultaneously,
as if connected with and control
led by an electric battery. For
fifteen minutes the ColOred gun
ners kept up their barrage fire,
and then French company was
sent out behind the barrage to
make a raid. So surprising was
the raid, and so quickly made, that

were wounded, and they but very

A FAIR DEAL FOR THE
COLORED FOLKS

The war has opened many ave-
nues of employment for white wo-
men that had heretofore been
closed. With proper organization
of the womn workers, and such an
appreciation on their part of the
value of their services as VII
cause them to demand a decent
wage and fair working conditions,
the opening up of these lines Of
employment will be of advantage
both to the women as individuals
and to the nation.
One class of women however are
being excluded from participation
in these benefits. "Colored wo-
men," says Mrs. Ida Wells Bar
nett in a letter to a newspaper,
whose hubands, sons, and broth
ers are already over there or have
been drafted, have been refused
an opportunity to work in way
that is almost unbelievable. Many
of these women have been reduced
almost to want because of the TAX
ing away of the bread winner Of
the family"
Here is mother test Of our de-
mocracy: The Negroes have been
intensely loyal to this country and
its institutions. They have served
if faithfully and well. Most of
them have asked for little, just
the protection of the law against
the fury of mobs, and a chance to
do the hardest and the poorest
kind of labor. Now they are be-
ing Disseminated against, and
are refused even that sort of en-
ployment.
America cannot afford to treat
the Negro so. He is too valuable
an asset Of the nation. lie pos
sesses in a high degree qualities
the country sorely needs. The flu
ture will prove that America is a
stronger and greater nation be-
cause he is here. And the day
will come when No man will be
excluded from any place or any
service because he has black
skin.
just no wthe Negro is not in a
position TO assert or demand his
rights. But while he is serving
his country and humanity in the
great struggle between auto racy
and democracy, we 81 ould see to
it that his family has an equal
chance with tie white folks to ob-
tain the work which viii enable
them to live in at least some de
gree Of comfortable and Labor.
