THE NEGRO AND THE WAR.

The colored people are rallying to
the call of patriotism all over the
country. They are giving their sons,
their money and their energies to the
task of modelling the Nation for
the cause of democracy. For the
Negro holds his citizenship high. The
friends of the United States are his
friends. It's foes are his foes.
The United States draws no color
line in the Army and Navy. 1t
summons Negroes to arms just as it
does whites. More than 100000 men
of color registered, and already 100.-
600 of these have been called to the
training camps to fit themselves for
service.
Thirty-siX per cent or all the Ma
eroes examined were certified as ply
sically fit for the National Army,
ratio, higher than the whites can
show. in 16 cantonments scattered
throughout the Northern and South
ern States the dusky troops are
being prepared to meet the Hun
In the old Regular Army of the
pre-war days were four colored regi-
ments-the Twenty-fourth and Twen-
ty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth and
Tenth Cavalry. These troops proved
their value in Cuba during the Span
ish-American War, just as they did
in the Indian campaigns on the bor-
der. They are notably steady under
fire, patient to endure hardships,
cheerful and good-natured at all
times. And they can fight.
The War Department has organized
division of colored troops, known
as the Ninety-second. To lead these
men $50 colored officers were COM
missioned after a course of training
at Fort Dodge, Iowa. Already mum.
Der of Negro chaplains have been
named to serve with these and more
are soon to be appointed. Three
regiments of Artillery have been
formed and school for Signal Corps
training has been organized Howard
University, an institution for colored
people in Washington, D. c., will be
kept open this summer to supply
technical training to promising men
of that race. At least so Negroes
are engaged in Y. NJ. c. A. work in
the Army. Some of these are now
in France with the troops serving
under Gen. Pershing.
Back of the actual fighting army
is the army of civilians at home. The
Negroes of the country have joined
in every activity that evinces a spirit
of patriotism. They show a whole.
hearted desire to take their full share
of the war lo9d. Thev support the
principles which President Wilson
has defined for us, and they assume
cheerfully the burden laid upon the
country as a whole
4 The way that the colorel citizen
has taken hold of the Liberty loan
( is encouraging. Five thousand Ne
groes recently attended a patriotic
meeting in a small North Carolina
town and established a record for the
quick purchase of war-saving stamps
This is good but not at all sur

ELECTED EDITOR OF THE
CHRISTIAN INDEX.
Chicago. Ill. Nav 11th. 1a1

ChlCdBO, III, May llJH, 1915.
The General Conference of the c..
M. e. Church which is in session
here just reelected Rev. ]. Arthur
HAMLET, editor 0 fthe Christian In
dex. Perhaps more interest center
ed in his reelection than in any
other matter that has as yet come
before the Conference.
For years It has been considered a
grave blunder and suicidal for an
editor of the chrr"h paners to criti-
he official conduct of the Bishops
When editor ha.-e.t was elected
four years ago he gave notice that
no one high or low would escape his
critical pen, and living up to that
policy has put nearly all the Bishops
of the church against him with
Bishop G. H. Phillips leading the
fight
The issue was whether the policy
of editor Hamlet who insists on
freedom Of speech would be sus-
tanned or whether the Bishops who
have unlimited power could put Nam

criticize them.
Bishop Phillips backed DR.. G. NJ
Noble of KY, while Bishop Williams
backed DR.. j. A. Martin of Ga. When
the voting was over it was found that
Hamlet received all Of $40 votes ex
