Not "Nigqer'-Not "Negro."
(From the WASHINGTON. Bee.)


Bishop Wilbur Thirkield, in discus
sing colored Americans in the South
western Christian Advocate, and in
his reply to Irwin s.. Cobb, says: "The
writer means we'll, but he does not
seem to know what the term niger
that has persisted as a relic of slav-
cry and has in it the sting of liquid
fire to every self-respecting Negro,
must CO."
Yes. and The Bee asserts that not
only the word "nigger" must go, but
the word Negro" We are American
citizens, the same as you, although
our skin may be dark. The white
mall manufactured both terms and
the Government legalizes them and
colored Americans perpetuate them
For Gods sake, give both terms a rest.

"SAFE FOR DEMOcRACY."

A well-known colored resident of
St. Paul who is serving in the United
States army now in France sends a
letter which gives an idea of the pres
ent conditions which surround the
colored soldiers who fought Ito make
the world safe for democracy" AS
the censorship has not yet been lifted,
we withhold the name and address
of the writer for fear that he may
be punished for sending the letter,
which follows:
Somewhere in France, June 4, 1919.
To the Editor of THE APPEAL:
am writing to let you know what
our boys are doing in France and
what is being done to us. We landed
at Sainte Nazaire, city of 10000
people, and trained a while under
great odds. We were then ordered
to the front and were getting ready
to 60 when the armistice was signed.
We all wanted to go, as there was
not man in the whole division who
had a streak Of yellow down his back.
We are now located at -, France,
that is two companies, and the Med
ical Corps and the other companies
are at different places. The two
companies are in charge of two large
mess halls and can feed about 5000
men in about Is minutes. The men
in the Medical Department look after
the sick in the camp and examine
the troops that are embarking for
home.
What we are doing here is not ap-
preciated, and there is great deal of
segregation over here. In some
places you can see in large letters
signs reading FOR WHITE TROOPS
ONLY. At the white young Mems
Christian Association" in camp a col
Ored soldier cannot buy anything and
when you attend movie show you
are roped off. And why? Just to
satisfy the Southern white man. The
colored soldier has caused less trou-
BILE than any other soldier in this
country. Something ought to he done.
We have done our bit toward world
democracy and we must enjoy little
of it. We are going to demand it
when we return. No doubt you have
heard of the faults of the Y. M. C. A..
and they are true in the respects that
state. hope you will take this
matter up with some men who have
political influence and make an in
vestigatiOn of the things which exist
over here before it is too late. -.
There is another thing we should
like to know. Why are colored troops
being held in France and then not al
lowed to enlist in the Army of Occu-
patton? You see, these are the
things which confront us daily. Al
ways something to hold us down.
Our only friend in need is the Red
Cross. 1t is the best organization
in France and is everywhere the SOL
diers are. The service is good and
the prices for their canteen are cheap,
and every. man who wears the O. D.
uniform is the same to them. This
is also true of the Salvation Army and
the Knights of Columbus, and when
