Somehere in France--When this

declared, and necessitous censorship
has been lifted so ore may mention
the names of army units, cities and

records the history Of the Colored sol

ative powers to tell of the service, the
daring deeds Of valor; and the incom-
parable fighting Colored men did over

which contain the story Of how Amer

big achievements of the Colored
stevedores who helped to make pos

scattered here and there, and in which

rificingly Colored Y. M. G. A. workers,
will bear testimony, years after they
have been deserted, Of the part these
