NEGRO SOLDIERS IN THE WARS
OF THE WORLD.
By Irene Mccoy Gaines.
ARTICLE No. So

n the Haytdan Revolutionary War.
he little island of Hayti furnishes
tie scene and battle field upon which
De Negro has given to the world the
Fsztsst example of the military genius
d the Negro race which has been pre-
x1tsd IN modern times, and which is
pGAsps unsurpassed in any other age of
be worlds history.
Having been slaves for centuries, the.
Elyian blacks decided to throw OF
their yoke of bondage by an appeal to
ans; and they afford the only Illus
rahOn in the history of the human race
where slaves unaided have risen against
their masters and secured their freedom

their bondage the Haytian Negroes were
Pf'sd against the Spanish, French and
English armies, and in turn defeated

francois, BaisOu Jeanot, and Chris

l'adsr and his Negro soldiers not only
'eisated the English and Spanish

mage as an inspiring gift from the gods.
The Hsytians threw themselves with
desperation upon the wavering and fal.
tering columns of the French army; the
black soldiers formed and charged again
and again and as they charged the last
time they went singing ola Marsail-
laise," the national anthem of France.
When the French soldiers heard their
national anthem some eheeied, some
wept, but the entire command, exhaust
ed and shattered, staggered back to the
coast, and Hayti was free foreveri
No language, however rich, can mea-
sure the services which the Negro SOL
diers of Hayti have rendered the Ne
grOes Of the world in their conspicuous
example Of self-won freedom. Words
are inadequate to express the valOr and
bravery of these Negro soldiers and
their illustrious leader, Toussaint l'ou-
venture.
Wendell Phillips, the prince Of anti
slavery oratOry, in an Grafton at Fanuel
Hall, paid the greatest tribute to
Hsyti's greatest Negro soldier that per-
haps was ever paid to any soldier Of the
world. Among 80 many true and beau
tiful things he said:
CHOW, blue-eyed Saxon, proud Of
your race, 60 back with me to the com
mencement Of the century and select
what statesman you please. Let him
be either American or European; let
him have q brain the result Of six gen.
erations of culture; let him have the
richest training of university routine;
let him add to it the better education
of practical life; crown his temples with
the silver of seventy years, and show
me the man of Saxon lineage for whom
his most sanguine admirers win ureathe
q laurel such as embittered foes have
placed on the brew Of the Negro, Tous-
saint l'Ouverture.
Negro Soldiers In American Wark
From the foundation Of the American
altho q slave, the Negro
has bravely shed his blood in defense
Of the American flag. In the Revolu-
tionary war of 1775 he played conspie-
uOus and prominent part. tThe shot
that was heard around the world"
felled the stalwart form Of the patriot
Negro soldier, Crispus Attueks, who
lead the first band Of Americans against
British invasion upon the now famous
commons Of Boston, which contain q
erected to his memory and
his patriotism. In this war the Negro
was found under the standards Of both
armies, but the greater number fought
for the triumph Of the american cause.
history recites that the
Negro soldiers played prominent part
from the very first battle, and by deeds
Of remarkable valor inscribed his name
higA upon the scroll Of fame. It ID
said that in the famous and decisive
battle Of Bunker Hin In l775 the British
Major Pitcairn was killed by the Negro
hero, Peter Salem, Who was . soldier

rHE NEGRO AND AkERIcAN1sM.
BY william Anthony Aery.

Twelve mllllon Colored people OF the
United States, as they have been so well
represented in the recent Tuskegee and
Hampton wartime Conference"
possess simon-pure Amerieanism.
The Americanism of the Negro means
doing intelligently, cheerfully and pstri-
otically the essential work Of the world
in war times-grOwing bumper crops of
foodstuffs, and some crops for ready
cash; canning, preserving, and drying
fruits and vegetables in home and school
kitchens; earning, saving, and investing
money in U. 8. Government bonds and
war savings stamps; building better
schools; and making clean, comfortable
homes for the training of useful, happy
citizens.
The finest proof of the Negroes pa
triotism is the enthusiasm with which
leaders and workers alike have taken
their places in the armed forces Of the
United States, have attacked with more
intelligence and greater zeal the big job
of feeding the South and producing vast
food supplies for our Allies; have elm
mated common but important forms Of
waste in the kitchen and field; and have
furnished the United States Govern
ment with ready cash which could be
used to defeat autOeraey.
Virginia Negro FarmerA
At Hampton Institute several hun
dred Negro farmers Of Virginia recently
met in conference to discuss what they
could do to meet more effectively the
demands which are made by the great
world war.
The Negro farmers Of Virginia, who
have been ably led by John B. Pierce,
a Tuskegee-HsmptOn graduate, now
serving as the state '0olored agent IN
charge of farm-demonstrstion work in |
seventeen counties, showed clearly that |
they had made exceptional progress in
handling soils, crops, and livestock.
They showed, too, that they had
learned how to use wisely the extra |
money that they had received the past
season from. their abundant crops.
Virginia Negroes, like Thousands
throughout the nation, have recently |
been paying OF many Of their old debts
They have also had enough ready cash
with which to improve their homes,
schools and ehurees--
They have been learning to pay Is
they 60, and have been freeing them

license TAX YEAR
BEGINS TOMORROW
Many Lines Of Endeavor
Come Under This Law
in District.

The license tax year of 1S1S-1s1s.
covering practically every business
On which . tar II laid, begins tonor-
row at $50 o'clock IN the ofacs Of
the superintendent Of licenses. The
license tax collected for the year
1861 was $1os. s5s.73; for the II
ceriss tax year 1s17-1s, closing today.
$1o5, s5sss.
Licenses due tomorrow are: Alcohol
manufacture. wholesale and retail;
apothecaries, auctioneers, auction
eers' permits. automobile storage, bill
posters, billiard, pool. other tables
shooting galleries, boarding houses.
baths. mediums. clairvoyants. cattle
dealers, commission merchants, cigar

Taxes on automobiles are not due I'M
til January 1, 1919. The approaching
automobile tax year will provide q
double license tax tag, one for the
front and one for the rear of each
machine. Only one tag Is used now.
Tags will be supplied promptly.
These licenses will fall due July
1, 1919: Banks and bankers, pedolers'
produce dealers, stock exchanges:
The decrease in the receipts for the
last license tax year is believed to
have been due to a lack of force to
make a thorough canvass Of the city
and the enforcement of the license tax
laws.
