CAPTAIN EMPLOYED DISCIPLINE
TO GIVE HIS BLACK SOLDIERS
A BATH.

AS tn Negro steyedoers marched
to work, Winter and Summer, rain
or shine. night or day, they were al
ways whistling or singing as they
marched to the wonderment Of the
French and English alike. Their
spirits never seemed to be dampened.
They always marched to music of
their own making. There was that
baseball game. when an entire COM
pany of Negroes watching their team
play a white team, at the climax of
the game. when one Negro boy had
knocked a home run, ran around the
bases with him, more than two hun
dred laughing, shouting, grinning,
singing. yelling Negroes, helping to
bring in the score than won the game
Then there was that Sunday morn
ing when several white captains de.
cided that their Negro boys should
have bath. They took their boys
down to an ocean beach. 1t was a
bit chilly. The Negroes stripped at
order, but they didn't like the idea
of going into that cold ocean water.
One captain solved the difficulty. He
took his own clothes Off He got in
front of his men. He lined them up
in formation. Then he said: Nov.
boys, we're going to play that ocean
is full of Germans. You stevedores
are always complaining about not get
ting up front, and you tell me what
you'd do to the Germans if you once
got up front. Now l am going to see
how much nerve you've got. When /
say, Forward! March!' it is a mill
tary order. I'm going to lead you
into that water. We are going in
military formation.
Forward! march,"
And into the surf that company of
black soldiers marched into that cold
ocean water, dreading it with all their
souls, but soldiers to the core, with
out culver, eyes to the front, heads
up, chests out, untlinchingly up to
their waists, up to their chins, when
the captain shouted, LAS you were"
and such hilarious shouting, laugh
ing, splashing, jumping, yelling fun
filled hour as followed the world ney-
er saw. The cleaning of white teeth,
the flashing of ebony limbs through
ocean waters and under sparkling sun
light that Sunday morning was full
OF fine type of fun and laughter
that made the world better place to
live in, and certainly a cleaner place.

DR.. c. T. WALKER ON
WHITE MANS DUTY

Augusta, Ga.-The Rev. Charles T..
Walker spoke before the Protestant
Ministers Association recently on
"The White Mans Obligation to the
Brother in Black" His address,
which was pronounced excellent in
every. respect by the ministers who
heard it, was published in full in the
Augusta Chronicle. He said, among
other things:
"The Negro has been pre-eminently
during the past fifty years the South's
chief laborer. And what laborer he
has been! He has made the valley
smile with the whitening bolls of cot
ton; he has made the hills laugh with
the golden ears of corn; he has mined
the coal and planted the potatoes,
and built the railroads; he has done
the nursing in the white mans fam
lily; he has been the cook and the
house servant, the butler and the
yard man; he has done hundred ana
one other things to make possible the
material growth of the fair South
land. He has been stranger to
strikes and lockouts and boycotts. He
has been tractable and willing; and
he has made it habit to sing as he
worked. He has worked longer hours
for less pay and with less complaint
than others. He has assisted in lay
ing the foundation of the South's ma
terial and industrial progress.
when you consider what the black
man did for the white man before the
war; what he did during the war; and
when you consider what he has done
since the war; yoa can understand
somewhat the significance of my sub
ject: The white mans obligation to
the brother in black He has re-
sponded to every call made by his
city, county, state and nation in this
worldwide conflict. He has rendered
every service he was called upon to
do.

BACK TO SCHOOL
BY Mrs. Max West

"The school is your training camp.
Don't be a deserter" This is what
the Children's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor is say
ing to the thousands of children who
are leaving the schools for Industry
dazzled by the present high wages Of
fered. Jobs that offer very little
training, and less hope of future
are being taken unquestioningly by
the youngsters who don't like school
anyway and think they are 'old
enough to work. or who feel the urge
of home necessity.
The Children's Bureau has just ar
nounced a Back-to-School drive whose
object may be stated in the Presi
dents words THAT no child may have
less opportunity for education because
of the war; The drive will attempt
two things: to return to the schools
and keep there the children who have
deserted them for industry, and to
keep the children now in school from
leaving prematurely. The actual work
of the drive will be done through the
Child Conservation Section of the
Council of National Defense which is
organized into State, county, and local
units. In each school community COM
mittees are being formed whose first
H11t1r mill he n CT child 10 hnT Qnd
school attendance laws. After that
they will go to the county superin-
tendent, the school principals, and
teachers to get accurate lists of the
children who have not returned to
school. Then begins the real work
of getting the children back. Parents
will be called upon, and the commit
tee members will talk over with them
why it is important not only to the
child but to the country that he be
well prepared for work before at
tempting it. Where the reasons for
leaving were pecuniary and adjust
ment will be attempted so that the
child can return. The Bureau urges
that the adjustment take the form
of scholarship similar to- those in
practically all of the colleges and in
certain city school systems. The av-
erage amount of school scholarships
is $120 year, and it is hoped that
as a result of the Drive an average of

uation as member of human society.
The revaluation of things, ideals and
persons is being forced upon all peo-
pies by the sacrifices and blood and
self abnegation of the world. None
calls for graver consideration and a
fairer judgment than that which we
of the south must inevitably face
when the war is over If mans most
precious gift, life itself, counts for
nothing in comparison with, as we
learn, the principles of democracy,
when sons and fathers, including the
negro, are giving their lives-not to
say, joyfully, but deliberately and un.
grudgingly, when mothers, including
the negro mothers, commit their sons
lives ungrudgingly also to their coun-
try's cause-that of democracy, it
may naturally be asked what is the
value of this democracy compared
with their precious lives? We know
the value of lives; what, then, must
be the value of that democracy for
which the exchange is made?
"The disintegration of the national
life of the jews at the time of the
coming of Christ was due to the fact
that in the supreme hour of their ma
tional history they failed to recognize
their true responsibility; that the
doom Christ pronounced upon the
Mount was due to the fact that they
failed to recognize the day of their
opportunity; that they insisted upon
keeping divine revelation as provin-
cial and national asset, rather than
as boon to be shared with the hu.

Wars for Freedom
After sketching briefly the wars
that have been waged for freedom
since the human race was divided into
tribes and nations and kingdoms and
the never ceasing struggle for the
emancipation of man from the domi,
nation of force, Colonel Patton said
that the war between the states in
the United States was the greatest
contest that had then been waged for
the preservation of the principles of
freedom and that now the struggle
had been renewed on the blessed
fields of France. "The black man."

current early in the month. that sup

May selling at 33c and october at

Of the previous higher record on May

There was enough realizing to check

undertone was steady.

the report of the Commercial Appeal,

buying, but seemed to have little in
