Charles Harris, leader of the Com
monwealth Band, of Baltimore, Md,
has been appointed assistant band
leader and will soon go to France with
one Of the Colored organizations. AT
ter six months, he will be made a
second lieutenant.
HiHgh officials in France are said
to be exceedingly fond of the "jaz'
music furnished by the Colored bands.
General Petain recently visited a sec
tor in which there are American
troops and had the time of his life
listening to a Colored band playing
the popular "jazz" music, with some
Negro dance stunts in keeping with
the spirit of the melodies. He warm
ly congratulated the Colored leader
upon the excellence of the work Of
his organization and thanked him for
the enjoyable entertainment that had
been given him.
Colored men, serving as privates,
who have abilities along any special
line will find it to their advantage to
acquaint their company commanders
with the nature oftheir qualifications,

Dear Mother Have just re-
turned to New York after an abb
sence of two months and ten
days. We have travelled over
IA, 900 miles and have been in
Uruguay and Brazil, and during
the trip we were not in sight of
land for eighteen days. We did
not see another ship on our trip
down, but saw several on our re-
turntrip, and were in two battles
with submarines. We fired thir-
teen shots at one and sunk it,
but the other one escaped. Three
ships were sunk within thirteen
miles of US, so we were expect
ing to be next, but we got by
without mishap. We had to
wear our life belts for ten days
and were not allowed to pull
them off hardly long enough to
take bath. Every day VIC
