Sight.
London-The question of harmful
radiations and the protection CT the
eyesight is being investigated by the
Illuminating Engineering Societies Of
England and America, and it is grad
ually becoming evident, especially
from a report recently published by
the American Research Committee
that infra-red rays may be harmful as
well as the ultraviolet.
Experiments are being made with
light transmitted through very thin
sheets of marble, and marble light is
shown by the recent investigations of
W. Voege to be practically devoid of in
fra-red radiation; 1t has also been
tound that light 30 produced Is very
white, not dazzling, and very agree
able for working conditions.

such supplies badly. Give generously
that we may the sooner defeat the

What Lieut. Dawson says of the Y.

NEGRO TROOPS AT TIE FRONT
Pershing Tells of GaIIantry of Two
Black Soldiers.

Washington, May 20 The officia
commique FROM GenAeal4 Pershing to
day gives the first news of negro sol
diers being in action on the American
front. The statement tells also of the
gallantry Of two Negro troopers, who
while wounded, fought off party of
twenty German raiders.
Aside from aerial activity on both
sides, yesterday was a quiet day at all
points occupied by American troops,
General Pershing said American avi-
ators brought down two hostile ma
chimes.
Reports in hand show a notable in
stance of bravery and devotion by two
soldiers of an American Negro regi-
ment operating in a French sector.

foes of our country ready to aggravate
the grievances of the colored people
on the one hand and to stir up the
whites on the other. 1t was no more
coincident that the East st. Louis
atrocities occurred in a city filled
largely with German sympathizers.
There is little doubt that the same
influence agged on both whites and
blacks at Houston. Most troubles have
small beginnings. At Houston they
grew from the fact of colored soldiers
entering cars reserved for whites, and
other similar matters. Great wrongs
were eventually committed on both
sides, eliminating in the killing of a
score of white people and the hanging
of thirteen Negroes. In the midst of
all the feeling and excitement caused
by the East st. Louis and Houston
troubles, the colored officers training
camp at Fort Des Moines won golden
appreciation all over the United States,
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1918-05-25

made thousands of friends for the col
ored race and achieved aglo rious sue
cess. 1t did all of this by following
precisely the advice that was repeated
to the 92d Division in Bulletin No.
35.
"By their fruits ye shall know them."
Our enemies do not wish the United
States to have it's military power in
creased by colored soldiers, and they
stand ready to add fuel to every race
discord in order to embarrass our
country as much as possible in this
war. Is it any wonder then, in view
of what the enemy has accomplished
in the past and is seeking to accom-
plish again, that the Commander of
the Colored Division seeks to nip
troubles in the bud, and while prose-
cutting white men for their offenses
against his soldiers, urges the soldiers
to do their part to keep the peace and
promote harmony.
l have shown that my position and
action were deliberately and malicious
ly misrepresented to the colored peo-
my prompt prosecution of the theater
manager and by falsely conveying the
impression that had taken no such
action. The entire letter that accom-
panied Bulletin No. 35 to the press of
the colored people was a misrepre-
sentation of my attitude and of the
facts in the case, and no fair-minded
person, when the facts are known, as
stated above, can fail to see the work
of an enemy-an enemy of our coun-
try and an even greater enemy to the
colored race. Is the colored race go
ing to "falr' to such schemes? 1
think not. think they will contrast
the work of the trouble maker with
the solid achievements OF the colored
officers training camp at Forst Des
Moines and of the cpd Division, and
consider thoughtfully the words-"By
tehir fruit ye shall know them"
Sincerely,
