Congressman Pou, Democrat, North

"As I stand here now I can see all
over the South the vine-clad cabins of
this kindly race. They have their
faults, but disloyalty is not among
those faults. In their homes you will

Why then not enact a law that any

country in this war, shall have the
right to cast his vote in any election
hereafter and to have it honestly

the loyal young and old Negroes of
this country? Why not, by Presiden-

Special to The Twin City Star.
Washington, D. c., July 1.-The War
Department has made it clear that it
will tolerate no discrimination against
colored draftees by the local draft
boards in any section Of the country,
and that cases Of alleged unfairness
will be fully Investigated and corrected
by the Departmental authorities.
Secretary Of War Newton D. Baker,
in recent interview, speaking with
reference to alleged discrimination
against colored draftees, said, in part:
II have heard that draft boards in
adjoining counties take a different
view Of practically identical facts with
regard to colored men; but the answer
in all these cases is that review is
provided directly by the President, and
all that is necessary for anybody to do
who thinks there is grievance, is to
point it out to the War Department,
and it will be investigated. If the draft
boards act unfairly, We will correct
their action.
"The War Department will brook no
discrimination, and any cases Of al
legged or suspected discrimination
brought to our attention will be inves-
tigated, and any wrong done will be
righted."

LORED TROOPS
FOUGHT NOBLY"

"rhe colored troops fought nobly."
That was more than half a century
ago. They fought nobly" on the
and the Atlantic, wherever they have
been called on to fight. Properly led,
they are magnificent fighting men;
faithful, fearless, devoted, cheerful.
And now In France they are living
up to the reputation they have won
on other, far distint fields.
We have been told of the particu-
larly valorous acts of two of them.
Harry Johnson of Albany and Need
ham, Roberts Of Trenton, N. J. They
have been enrolled among the heroes
of the world and have been cited for
the Croix de Guerre before the French
army. They accomplished some in
credible thing-fought with skill and
calmness as their wounds accumu-
lated, substituted one weapon for an
other as theiS assailants crowded
about them, finally beat back score
and more of Germans before they
sank unconscious at their posts as
help came to them. For the arriving
squads there was nothing to do ex-
cept to carry them back to the lines
for transport to the hospital; these
two men had finished the job and
Johnson's sole thought was of his
duty: Corporal London, turn out the
guard" were his first words when
consciousness came back to him. They
will get well of their wounds, but
not as soon as they want to, and their
only wish is to return to the trenches.
OF them the French General, SOL
der not unaccustomed to heroic and
skilful military deeds, wrote to his
superior:
"The American report is too modest.
AS result of oral information fur
nished to me it appears that the blacks
were extremely brave and this little
combat does honor to the American"
II the good and the great who have
preceded the hero of the present are
privileged to read the citation for con-
spicuous bravery that mark their hon.
orable successors, how must the shade
Of Robert Gould Shaw rejoice!HT

THOSE GEORGETTEs.

OF the creation of fads there is no
end, and for every one fad, there are
a thousand fools.
The Georgette Crepe fad is on and
as a result, thousands of women are

go to bed than they do to go into the
streets.
The indications" are that some Of
these wearers are kinder" shy on
underwear They haven's the quality
that goes with Georgette. In fact,
Summer is tell tale. We find that
we have an army of outside show
ladies who dare not faint. Through

see coarse. soiled, dingy, underwear.
Then too, size and shape of arms
should regulate the style and texture
of the material for waist. Broom
sticks and mill posts should not be
covered with Georgette.

sleezyly dressed women and girls can
not keep their arms down. Perhaps
