the Office of Mayor of the city of De-
troit. He is identified with a faction
in that city in which Mr.. Ford's
millions are an important factor.
Alex is simply playing politics. Over
looking, seemingly, his duty to his
country and seeing only that which
will further his own political aspir-
atoms.
Elk Governor Fred M. Warner to
has practically endorsed Mr.. Ford.
This will have some effect on those
who do not know Mr.. Warner, but
those who know him and are in close
touch with the situation, simply
smile and say, at is just what
would expect of the Oakland county
Cheese Maker"
Mr.. Ford has not made it known as
yet on what ticket he will run in the
Primaries. Petitions have been cir
culated for him in both parties, and
he is probably awaiting orders from
those who are responsible for his
candidacy. Taking it for granted
then that such is the case, it is safe
to say that his name will go on the
republican ticket, just as a matter of
political expediercy. His sponsors
| figuring that in a field of three, he
can win, and with a Ford victory
in the republican primary, demo-
cratic administration would have
named the successor to Senator
Smith.
Henry Ford may be nominated and
elected to seat in the United States
Senate, but we don't believe it. No
one doubts his ability in the line of
activity that has made him famous
in the manufacturing world; No one
doubts his worth to the government
in the manufacture of munitions of
war, and no one doubts his kind
hearted philanthropic tendencies, and
the good he may do for humanity
with his wealth. But if there is one
single good reason why the people of
Michigan should send Henry Ford to
the Senate, we would like to know
what it is; If he possesses a single
qualification of real merit, for that
high office, we would like to be advis-
ed of such possession.
While this is no time for a politi-
cal upheavel in Michigan, or in any
other state for that matter, and while
there are other matters of para
mount Importance, we have not lost
confidence in the good judgment of
the people of this state. We believe
they will select a really big man for
the senate, and that they will frown
upon even suggestion that this
great state has reached a point
where Rubber Stamp" can repre-
sent the great state of Michigan in
the congressional halls at Washing
ton

July 4th=

July Fourth we celebrate again
the anniversary of our independence a
nation.
One hundred forty-two years
ago we were fighting the armies of England
and were being aided by that much loved
Frenchman Lafayette.
Today our men are fighting
shoulder to shoulder with the English and
the French to vanquiSh "a common enemy
and to make secure the Liberty we gained
in 1776.
The men at the front can not
win this victory unaided. We at home
must help. If we people of America do
our duty now, the Fourth of July will yet
become world holiday.
We have not done enough when
we have drawn our money from the bank
and bought Liberty Bonds. This has mere
ly transferred capital from the ordinary
channels of trade to the use of the Govern
ment.
By denials and economy, we must
save again every cent which we have used
to buy bonds. Then have we truly helped.
Then have we struck blow for everlasting
liberty.
If you have savings book of
this bank now is the time to use it. If
you have not yet secured one, call for it now.
Money deposited by the Fifth of the month
will draw interest from the First.

Pershing Nails Lie
That Negroes Are
Being Sacrificed
Can't Commend Too
Highly Spirit Shown by
Colored Troops"

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Formal de-
nial of reports circulated in this coun-
try, presumably by German agents, that
negro soldiers with the American ex-
peditionary forces are being assigned
to more dangerous work than the white
troops, was cabied to the War Depart
ment to-day by General Pershing. The
message said the negroes were in high
spirits and their only complaint was
that they were not given more active
service.
General Pershing said he could not
commend too highly the spirit shown
among the colored combat troops, who
exhibit fine capacity for quick train
ing and eagerness for the most dan
gerous work" The generals cable
gram said:
THE stories, probably invented by
German agents, that colored soldiers in
France are always placed in the most
dangerous positions and sacrificed to
save white soldiers, that when wounded
they are left on the ground to die,
without medical attention, etc, are alb
solutely false
Losses Enumerated
,"Following are the losses as report
ed up to June 18 in the four colored
combat regiments now in France
369th Infantry: Died of wounds, 3;
died of disease, 8; severely wounded,
2; 370th Infantry: Died of wounds,
| none; died of disease, g.; severely
wounded, none; 371st Infantry:
Died of wounds, none; died of dis
ease, 8; severely wounded, none;
3!2d Infantry: Died of wounds. none;
/ died of disease, g. severely wounded,
none. These figures show conclusively
cupled positions as dangerous as those
| occupied by white troops and that
, their physical condition is excellent.

gree of training and efficiency among
these troops. Their training is den-
tical with that of other American
the effort being to lead all American
troops gradually to heavy combat duty
by preliminary service in trenches in
quiet sectors.
Exploits Recalled
"Colored troops in trenches have
been particularly fortunate, as one
regiment had been there a month be-
fore any losses were suffered. This
was almost unheard of heretofore on
the Western front.
"The exploits Of two colored infan-
trymen several weeks ago in repelline
much larger German patrol, killing
and wounding several Germans and
winning the Croix de Guerre by their
gallantry, has aroused a fine spirit OF
| emulation throughout the coloreG
troops. all of whom are looking for.
ward to more active service. The only
regret expressed by the colored troops
is that they are not given more dan.
gerous work to do.'

An Iv7vincibLe Race.
Says Lord Mayo,

LONDON, June 21.-Charles A. Han
son, Lord Mayor of London, was guest
to-day at the Luncheon Club, and read
letter from Field Marshal Sir Douglas
Ha1g in reply to birthday congratuia-
tons that had been sent to the British
commander in chief. Sir Douglas ex-
pressed unbounded confidence in the
Allied armies and declared that the
British troops were resisting and would
continue to resist the utmost efforts Of
the enemy. The Lord Mayor, who has
made thirty-six round trips across the
Atlantic, SAID:
Nothing has so fortified my conf
dence III the ultimate victory Of the AL
lied cause as the splendid manner in
which America has thrown herself into
the war. Great Britaisi and America
are going to see this thing through.
Together We are an unconquerable
race"
Paul D. Cravath. who represented the
United States at the Inter-Allied Coun-
Gil on War Purchases and Finances at
Paris, gave an account of his tour of
the Western fronts. particularly the
American sectors. He declared:
"Tl1e Americans in warfare are show
ing the same energy, dash and adapta-
bility that made them great in the pur-
suits of peace. The effect Of their en-
ergetic participation on the Western
front already is showing nightly. If
had any doubts or fears about the
outcome, they have been removed by
what have seen and heard in France" {"

minishing the movement Of troops
across the Atlantic because of the op-
Grafton of U-boats off the American
coast.
After the conference Representative
Caldwell, Of New York, said as far as
America is concerned 'the war will
begin next September" By that time
materials now being manufactured will
be ready in great abundance for max
ing the presence of American troops
felt by the enemy, and the fighting
planned for the United States soldiers
will have begun.
Fighting on the Italian front was dis
cusscd and military authorities de.
clared it had not reached stage to be
considered serious for the Allies.
Members of the committee said a
sufficient number of rapid fire guns
now is being manufactured here to
supply the needs Of American troops
and that the output will be increased

Tells Why Kaiser

To Fight Americans

s~~oOSS~SS1
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June 21.-Just why the for
midable German 2Sth Division was
placed in front Of the American troops
northwest of Chateau Thierry, and also
why prize regiment of that division
now is in the front line is shown by
letter taken from prisoner.
The letter was written June 10 by
Grenadier Landauer, of the 10th
Grenadier Regiment, to his relatives
in Germany. 1t is Grenadier Landauer
himself who is the prisoner, and his
letter is eloquent testimony concerning
the impression the Americans have
made on the German Emperor's best
troops. The letter reads:
$50 far as my health is concerned, I
am faring well-ard that is the most
important thing. We again are in the
front line, because the American divis-
ion opposite Us has achieved some sue
cess, and we, as a model division, are
to make good this loss.
AT the present moment we are lying
in reserve in a small wood, where we
have made dugouts and furnished them
with all sorts Of stuff from nearby
Inn. Ut course, we are getting all sorts
or KNOCKS from the enemy artillery,
which, especially at night, shoots at US
accurately.
"up to now everything has gone
pretty we'll, but l hope to be relieved
soon and get some rest. If one has
been for moro than fourteen days in
this mixup, one has had more than suf-
ficient.
"For the present am still in good
spirits, and even if one does lose ones
head at times. one must pull ones self
together again. Better times will come
and then all the thousand sorrows that
heard with joy that no harm came to
you through the acts of enemy ayia-
tors"

Bronx Mother Sure
That Son Reported
Killed Is in u. S.
Says She Heard From Him
At Southern Camp in
Last Few Days

Mrs. Thomas J. O'Connell, Of 42S
East 143d Street, The Bronx, whose son,
Thomas j. O'Connell, was reported in
yesterdays casualty list as killed in
action, believes that a mistake has been
made. She has four sons in the army
and William and Augustus are in
France, but Thomas and Daniel, she is
sure, are still in this country.
"Only few days. ago." she said, 81
received a card from Tom, dated Hat
tiesburg, Miss"
Her son Augustus, she said, had
written to her that there was Thomas
j. O'Connell from Virginia in the regi-
ment to which he belonged and that
mistakes had been made in delivering
mail. Mrs. O'Connell is confident that
the mistake penetrated to the casualty
list.
Two of the New York soldiers in the
list are of alien birth, though residents
of this country from childhood. One Of
them, Benjamin Saltzman, of 545 Sack
man Street, Brooklyn, who has died
from wounds, was born in Austria.
His parents believe that the wounds
which caused his death were received
! in an effort to escape from German cap
tors-an effort in which Louis Kantro-
witz, friend and member of the same
| regiment, was successful and for which
he was decorated.
Zalme Luloff, the other foreign born
citizen, is native of Russia. He is
seriously wounded. His father, Herman
Luloff, lives at Four Corners, Staten
Island. The young man enlisted in the
Marine Corps when war was declared.
He was twenty years old at the time.
| Anthony Gerage, Of 305 Berriman
Street, Brooklyn, another marine who
was seriously wounded, is one of three
brothers in the United States military
forces. A third is a captain in the
Italian army. The wounded man is
eighteen years old and was beginning
the study of architecture in Bushwick
High School when he enlisted.
Philip l.. Albert, who was killed in
action, enlisted in the Marine Corps
last December. He was twenty-seven
years old, a graduate of Drexel Insti-
tute, Philadelphia, and lived at SS7
Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn.
