posed to do anything worthy of com
mendation. His is the lot of the under
man. Almost everyone seems to be of
the opinion that a Stevedore is only re-
ceiying his just treatment when he is

Today our boys participated in a
drill. 1t was their first opportunity to
prove to the people of Tide Water Dis
trict that the boys from Camp Hill are
soldiers and, above all, men. Everyone
applauded the boys as they marched
down the streets of Norfolk. Dressed
in their new olive drab uniforms, new
hats, and shoes, erect, and in perfect
rhythm with the bands ''fore and aft, -
they could not but demand admiration.
The boys had been s'cooped'' up so
long that they-just tried themselves
when on parade. They proved to the
satisfaction Of every one of the thirty
thousand spectators who witnessed the
parade, that the Negroes are by nature
the best soldiers. With only two days
drill in squad and platoon movements,
they were so far superior to their fell
low marchers, the marines, that one Of
the latter commented, "Well, how do
you expect us to equal them, when we
have had only eight weeks of drilling
and all that they do is dri!l?'' This is
quite a joke to our boys, whose only
drill training has been their march to
and from work. The captains are very
proud of their men. One asserted that
he preferred the command of colored
troops because history proves that they
are the most susceptible to discipline,
the most pleasant amidst the direct
hardships, and that theirs was the most
indomitable spirit.
