Modern Minstrel Show-

The negro, if he can be restrained
from becoming sef-conscious, makes
the best minstrel man. Any person is
sure of a good laugh if they can but
be around group of negroes thirty
minutes without the latter knowing
they are near, because the colored
man is then perfectly natural.
There have been many colored min
strel organizations which were un-
satisfactory in their entertainment be-
cause the colored performers were
self-conscious and did not act natural.
Mr.. R. M. Harvey, well known circus
man, undertook the task of assembling
a company of clever colored people
who are not posers, who We're capable
of aways remaining natural-even on

acknowledged to be the most clever
colored cornetist in the world, a gradu-

dignity of this attraction while Mr.. Ed

the playhouses. The night before the
party moved on, the men had a i've
ly and unforgettable banquet in tn
non-coms' mess hall in the Tower of
London. The goose hung high and
memories. of that festive occasion
were haunting them still when they
turned out bright and early on the
morning of June 13 to catch the B.
train for Folkestone.
The Americans had had a good
time in London. There had been
friendliness and cordiality every
where, but nothing to prepare them
for the reception that waited them in
Paris. It was when they reached
Boulogne tina tthe word was sped on
to the capital of General Pershing's
coming.
There had been no preparations
made for reception, but the Paris
Midi and other noon time papers
Haunted the tidings and by the time
the special train drew into the Care
du Nord, there was such a jam
around the station as would have be-
wildered even the master of traffic
who stands at the corner Of Forty-sec-
ond street and Fifth Avenue, New
York.
AS General Pershing stepped from
the train, Marshal Joffre came for
ward to greet him, a company OF
poilus presented arms and the mar
vellous Garde Republicaine band
broke into the music of "The Stal
Spangled Banner" Inside, the wait.
ing room was hung with rich, tapes.
tried curtains, carpeted with costly
rugs, and brilliant with June flowers
Outside long line of automobiles
waited to carry the Americans
through the streets of Paris.
The French authorities expressed
their great regret that the news Of
General Pershings' approach hao
come too late for the people of the
city to plan fitting demonstration

tion could have produced a welcome
more moving or more tremendous.
All the way from the Care du Moro
through the boulevards to the Palace
de la Concorde, the streets were
packed with a cheering, laughing
cordial multitude. Through that mul.
titude the cars could barely Greer
along. From every window and bal.
cony, from every car and cab top
from every terrace table and from
every lamp post, American flags
waved and flowers from French gar
dens were showered down on the
slow moving procession.
Exhuberant soldiers in town or
permission, leaped on the running
boards and led the cheering. Gamins
perched in tree branches tried out
their new vocabulary with such la
boriously learned phrases as "How
are youp or "Hello, good-morning.

basket" he observed, gloomily. eff
anything should happen to Boat 8, the
A. E. F. would be simply ruined"
But nothing happened to Boat 8
nor to the Baltic and those who were
watching from the rail early on June
6 and say that the u. S. destroyers
"Tucker" and Rowan had come out
to escort her in, knew that nothing
would happen to the Baltic. The next
day third destroyer appeared on
the horizon, and that day the decks
suddenly bossomed with American
uniforms.
For all through the danger zone,
every American soldier on board,
from the General down, had worn
civilian clothes. The Baltic was a
passenger liner and the White Star
officials had explained that the mere
presence of a stray officer in uniform
among the passengers Of torpedoed
liners had satisfied the U-boat casu-
lists as an excuse to shell the life
boats.
Most of the officers aboard, as part
of the secrecy with which they slip
ped out of Washington to New York,
had worn cts all the time, but some
were ablaze in their uniforms when
they embarked, and at the last mo-
ment there was a great scramble for
ordinary raiment. Civilian clerks
yielded up their extra trousers on
the promise that they would be re-
turned intact, and the war. CORES
pondents who are always very rich
and have lots of natty clothes, be-
came very popular as outftters for
the voyage.
Despite all the tension, there were
the usual games of SWITCHBOARD by
way of exercise, the usual concerts
with such chance talent aboard as
could be furnished by Lyn Harding,
the English actor, and Dorothy Gish,
Americas movie favorite, and the
usual daily newspaper with the wire
less bringing in real news for once.
The Baltic was just sailing through
the danger zone when word came
through the air that the Root Mis-
sion had reached Russia and that
back home 100000 young Ameri-
cans had discountenanced all
prophets of riot and calamity by
quitely and soberly enrolling under
the selective draft.
It was in the early hours of the
morning Of June 8 that the Baltic
reached Liverpool. When 10 o'clock
came after a ne breakfast of
Queenstown salts, the Americans
marched off to be greeted by the high
dignitaries Of the port and by the
Royal Welsh Fusiliers, who were
drawn up on the pier with their fam
GUS band and their not less famous
Angora goat.
A special train carried the whole
party to London, with the Comman-
der-in-C Chief made comfortable in the
royal private car. There were great
The Sauk Centre herald., 1918-07-18

handshakings at Euston station,
where Sir John French, Vice-Admiral
Sims, Ambassador Page and others
were waiting to greet them when the
train arrived at $3.50 that afternoon,
and General Pershing did not go on
his way till he had first shaken hands
with the engineer who brought him
to London town.
The General and his staff were
quartered at the Savoy Hotel, whose
windows look out across the Embank-
ment to the Thames. The enlisted
men adjourned to the Tower of LON
don, for the weather-beaten, tabled
structure where the little princes
were murdered and where Anne
Boleyn was beheaded became that
day barracks for American dough-
boys.
The next few days were given over
to dinners and receptions, to tours of
inspection to the war work around
London to consultation between the
staff officers and experts in their
line in the British Army. On June 9
General Pershing called on King
George at. Buckingham Palace.
"I am very glad to welcome you" !"
said the King of England to the
American Commander-in- Chief. "1t
ha salways been my dream that some
day the two English speaking ma
tions should fight side by side, and
today my dream is realized. We are
fighting for the greatest cause that
any nation could fight for - civiliza-
ton"
There was no demonstration plan
ned or executed for the Americans in
London, nor any flourish Of trumpets
announcing their presence But
wherever they went the officers were
the objects of the greatest curiosity.
Particularly did the colonels attract
the English eye for it was hastily as
sumed that the eagle insignia betak-
ened aviation and there was much
marveing that we should have flyers
of such venerable appearance.
The fine edge Of Londons curios-
ity had been little dulled by the
fact that American soldiers had pass
ed that way before. General Perish
ing's party was the vanguard of the
fighting forces Of the A. E. F. brt
even before his coming members of
the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps
had crossed with units for service in
British hospitals, and by the time

ly, General Pershing and his staff
made their departure. No friend
thronged shore, no waving Of flags
and handkerchiefs, no stirring band
music sped the vanguard of the great
est military expedition America had
ever made or dreamed of making.
The voyage was no peasure trip
for work began Immediately. Att the
working hours of the day and evening
that were n OF given over to inocula-
tions mess, boat-drills and French
lessons were devoted to the organiza-
tion of the A. E. F. Life aboard the
Baltic that week was different from
any crossing the great liner had ever
known.
Some Of the officers will scarcely
look back to that week some Of un-
alloyed pleasure. The languors of
partyphoid and the oppression of
sea-sickness combined .unpleasantly
to make the irregular verbs Of the
French language seem peculiarly
elusive and unimportant. There
were interpreters there who ratified
off French idioms with an irritating
ease and there was master French
teacher in the person of former Am
bassador to France, Major Robert Ba-
con, of the Generals staff. But one
officer felt obliged to note in his
diary this observation:
"The intensive but rather hopeless
efforts made were often quite ludi-
4crous but very praiseworthy.'
All through the trip the submarine
was ever in mind. The U-boats
were then at the height of their sue
cess and everyone knew that the Kai-
ser would have extracted more real
pleasure out of the sinking of the Bal
tic than out of the sinking of dozen
hospital ships. The Baltic had been
fired at one the preceding trip. Her
captain-Captain Finch - was fresh
from his memories of having gone
down with his ship the Arabic, when
she was torpedoed not long before.
He, by the way, was trifle blase
about the honor Of bearing an Ameri-
can high command across the seas.
for he was captain Of the liner that
carried Commodore Dewey from San
Francisco to Hong Kong when he
was on his way to join his flagship
before the battle Of Manila Bay.
Two boat drills were held and one
of the Americans aboard noted with
.some misgivings that the steward in
charge had assigned the General and
all the colonels to one boat.

DELAWARE TROOPS TO
RETAIN STATE IDENTITY
1900 Withdrawn From Various Or
ganizations at Camp Mcclellan
Cripple Entire Division.

CAMP MCCLELLAN, ADMISSION, Ala.
January 16.-Withdrawal Of 1900 Della
ware troops from the various organi-
cations to which they had been as
signed here has created great gaps in
the ranks OF the Blue and Gray Div1-
sion. and has seriously crippled the ef-
fciency Of the entire division and in
terfered materially with the training
program of the men.
The Delawareans have been with
drawn to become part OF a pioneer
regiment which is to retain its state
identity. 1t is understood here that
Delaware men in other divisions are
also to be withdrawn and assigned to
the new pioneer regiment, the plan be-
ing to complete and maintain q distinct
Delaware organization within the
armies now in training for service
overseas.
The effectiveness Of the divfsion's
elaborate system Of instruction is in a
measure crippled by the withdrawal of
the Delaware troops. The one purpose
seems to have been to keep the Della
wareans together as an individual unit,
and to do this the work Of weeks and
months Of patient. uphill work toward
the training Of this division has been
sacrificed. Officers here say it will un-
doubtedly take some time to recover
from the blow.
New Jersey. Maryland and Virginia
had their troops torn to pieces and
spread out in various units, and 1t is
at their expense that the Delaware
troops are being withdrawn from here.

Teachers in District schools spend TOO
much of their time in non-scholastic
activities, according to delegates from
the parent-teachers' associations who
attended the meeting. Activities or
teachers in behalf of Red Cross work,
sale of thrift stamps and the liberty
loan campaign have impaired school
work, owing to the large amount or
clerical work thrust upon teachers, ac-
cording to reports from the associations
at Cranch-Tyler, Bryan, Buchanan,
Wallach, Fairbrother and Carbery
schools.
Much has been done in conserving
clothes used by children, according TO
