time. Eleven men have gone from

HIS ORDERS

A story is told of negro recruit
in Camp Lee who was recently given
his first turn of guard duty. While
pacing his line a white officer came
along and was ordered to halt. He
complied the guard kept on pacing,
paying no attention TO the officer
Wondering the officer started to
move along. Again came the order
to halt Again the officer paused.
Then to find out what the idea in
the guards mind might be, he said ;
Say. guard, what were the orders
you received when you were placed
on guard duty at this point?"
The reply was startling: Nah
ordahs, mistah. was TO halt three
times an den shoot"
