Unofficial reports altering back from

the final touch of application to the
phrase contained in German official
statement when the big drive by Amer
lean troops was at it's height few
weeks ago, and which noted that black
Americans had hammered their way
gloriously through the Hun lines
It was not, though, until the battle
was over, according to the unofficial ver-
sion Of the same fighting, that the brig
ade commander summoned the colonel
of q Negro regiment before him and de-
manded to know in terse military fash
ion why that colonel had not maintained
better control over his troops, and why,
above everything else, he had not
stopped his men and kept them from
passing beyond their appointed objec-
tives, and, in fact, hacking their way
through ahead Of their own protective
barrage.

Under the system as it now has been

True, there are places, both in this coun-

Columbus have erected special huts for
the use Of the Negro soldiers. But
where that has been done, it has been at
the express request of Negro soldiers
