his ability won him the recent assign

quarters for supplies and transporta-
tion for troops in the fire zone; also
where the statistics of costs, informa-

ords. While in this line of duty Capt.
Smith has met many Of our leading
business men. He has not found color
or racial conditions barrier, when
those in authority decide to give recog-
milton according to ability. H
1t is credit to the race to have a
representative in the office of the Ad-

"C0L0RED TROOPS
FOUGHT N0BLY'

"The colored troops fought nobly."
That was more than half q century
ago. They fought nobly" on the
plains, in the islands Of the Pacific
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.

have been enrolled among the heroes

We have never known two inius-
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prcspered by be-
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because a majority of white people
will always side with a white man
when question arises between him
and one of our color; still certain COL
ored newspapers, without making any
Investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne
gro race do identically what they con-
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself.

DOES NOT RUN

"The colored troops fought bravely."
1t does not matter whether this his.
toric report emerged from the Civil
War or from one of the earlier strug.
giles Of the Republic. 1t has been his.
torically true at all times. General
Pershing reports from the field of
France: II cannot commend too high.
ly the spirit shown among the colored
combat troops who exhibit fine capac-
ity for quick training and eagerness for
the most dangerous work." In these
words the American commanding Of
ficer bears glad testimony to the brav-
cry and devoted spirit Of the American
Negroes who are doing their full share
for the defense Of their country and
the triumph of civilization and democ-
racy.
1t always has beeQ so. In every war
in which the United States has en-
gagged, the report has been to the same
effect as the historic message quoted:
The colored troops fought bravely."
In the Continental army, in the AM
erican revolution, in the naval trium-
phs of the War OF 1912, in the struggle
between North and South and finally
In the brief contest with Spain, the
American of African descent proved
his val6r and staying Qualities.
Now, in the greatest of wars and
the greatest Of duties, the Negro has
conducted himself 50 as to win the ap-
probation of our greatest soldier. The
kaiser will find that the American
Negroes sent against his levied troops
are of q color that will not run.-St.

FUNERAL OF MRS. TRoTTER
Noted for Her Work Among the
C0l0red Race.
Boston Post, Oct. 13, 1879

Boston Post, Oct. 13, 1879
The funeral of Mrs. Geraldine
Louise Pindell, wife of William Mon
roe Trotter, editor of the Guardian,
was held yesterday at o'clock from
her home, 81 Sawyer avenue, Dor
chester. The Rev. Walter d. Nc
Clane, rector of St. Bartholomew
Episcopal Church of Cambridge, con-
Quoted the service with the Episcopal
ritual Crossing the Bar" and 'sFear
Ye Not, 0 Israel" from Elijah" were
sung by Harry Delmore, tenor. The
gray casket was banked with a pro.
fusion of beautiful floral tributes, one
from the Boston Literary Association,
another from the men of the Parker
House.
The honorary pallbearers were VIII
liam D. Brigham, E. T. Morris, C. H.
Plummer, William L. Reed, E. e.
Brown, DR.. ]. Washington Hill, the
Rev. M. A. N. Shaw. The active pail
bearers were E. P. Benjamin, William
P. Hare, James Anderson, Robert
Johnson, Frederick Brooks, Private
David G. Morris, adopted soldier SON
Of the deceased, from Camp Devens;
DR.. A. P. Russell and DR.. H. w. Ross.
There was large attendance of
friends. Interment was at Fairview
cemetery, Hyde Park. Mrs. Trotter
left to mourn her loss her mother,
Mrs. Mary Pindell; sister, Miss Ger
trude Pindell; foster brother and
her husband. t..
Geraldine Louise Trotter was born
in Boston, Oct. 3, 1872, the daughter
of Charles E. and Mary Pindell. She
was educated In the Boston schools,
and for 10 years was bookkeeper for
Eli Cooley, china decorator, until she
married Mr.. Trotter, June 81, 1899,
in the same house where she died,
Oct. 9, 1918, at the age of 46 years.
Her chief life work was associate
manager Of the Boston Guardian, an
organ for equal rights for colored
Americans, published by Mr.. Trotter.
But she engaged in much public-spirit-
ed work. She secured pardons for
several colored inmates Of the State
prison, notably the late William e.
Hill, who had been there more than
40 years. She was executive chair
man of the Boston Literary Associa-
tion, arranging the loving cup presen-
tation to Moorfield Storey in Faneuil
Hall. She organized a women's anti
lynching committee, and was men,
ber of the Equal Rights League.
Her chief activities recently were
for the colored soldiers. She pre-
sented the national colors to the 519th
Engineers at Camp Devens in behalf
of the State. Organized the Godmoth-
ers' Association to this, the only col
ored unit which went overseas from
Massachusetts, and begun organizing
with circle Of cheer" at Newbury-
port. She was a member of the Sol
diers' Comfort Unit and Sunday host
ess at its War Service center. Her
last act was to send fruit to the col
ored> soldiers at Camp Devens who
were ill with influenza. She was a
communicate of st. Mary's Episcopal
Church i'm Dorchester. Few members
of her race were better known. She
was an able newspaper woman and
ready public speaker.
The Twin City star., 1918-10-26

Any person, who seeks honor or
personal gain in connection with any
war activities is a war proflteer, and
is guilty of the worst form of dis
loyalty. Every personal sacrifice is a
patriotic effort. It is the duty of every
honest citizen to do his best to bear
the Nations burden without COM
plaint This is no time for obstruc-
tionists. Those who have grievances
may complain, in order that better
progress may be made. The Stacker
and chronic kicker is always a detri-
ment. While petitions of redress to
proper authorities will always COM
mand respect and investigation, let
us not forget that every one is asked
to do his share to win this war. There
Is a satisfaction in having done our
duty. There is honor enough for US
all, II we do that which is expected
of US. The patriot knows no self.
preservation, the profiteer no self-sac-
rifice.
