over to the American people. 1t oc-
Cured again and again in almost
every story sent from France to
America but suddenly the war cor
respondents found that, in spite Of
the vast publicity machinery which
they controlled, the word was not
holding up No matter what the rest
of the world did, the soldiers would
have none of this name. Somehow,
they all felt that 1t had curious be-
littling sound. There was nothing
lvirile to Sammy, as there was to Tom
my. One officer explained that he
didn't like the word because, at the
West Point mess, the slang for mo-
lasses was Sammy" He had been
out of the academy for 10 years, but,
he declared, even yet the word gave
him a sticky feeling!
All the time "doughboy" went on.
The newspaper men were familiar
with this nickname, but 1t was not
until late in the summer that they
began to realize its availability for
copy. There was the handicap that
"doughboy" applied only to the in
fantrymen, but for a time the name
seemed to have been adopted as ap-
plying to all American fighting men.
The next stage in the development
of real nickname for the American
army Is outlined in this editorial az
ticle from The Stars and Stripes, un-
der the title, "Yanks It Is."
Nicknames are not manufactured
Where they are, the mick" doesn't
stick. The worlds greatest thinkers
couldn't plaster a nickname on tho
American army that would stick 10
minutes.
For the American army has already
received its nickname over here that
nothing can shake loose.
1t is "Yanks."
1t wasn't manufactured for the
American army, 1t wasn't carefully
thought out by any prearranged men
tai drive. 1t was just the nickname
every one over here took for granted.
Yank no longer means soldier OF
the north. 1t means a soldier from
the United States-north, south, east
or west, so long as he wears the
khaki of Uncle Sam and battles or

SECOND BAPTIST
CHURCH WILL MAKE
BIG IMPROVEMENTS

The pastor and members of the
Second Baptist church, corner Fifth
street and Jefferson, have decided
that the present brick structure is
inadequate to accommodate the large
and growing membership. and so they
have inaugurated campaign to raise
sufficient funds to convert the pres
ent building into a $4,000 church edi
fee. Nearly $500 is already in the
treasury for this purpose and the varl-
Gus clubs which have been working
so faithfully the past three months
will increase their activities in an
endeavor to have sufficient funds on
hand so that the contractors may be-
gin work on the magnificent new
structure early in November of this
year.
To Rev. c. A. Gilmore, the pastor
of this church, is due no small degree
of praise for creating such interest
and enthusiasm in the members that
will make them go out and work to
bring about such a wonderful achieve
ment. The proposed building, when
completed, will be the most imposing
and expensive church building owned
by Colored people between the cities
of Denver and Los Angeles. The
church is entirely free from debt and
inasmuch as the members are united

CoLoRED BOYS LEARN
THAT A MAN is A MAN
(By Associated Negro Press)

~ ~NSSON@~e~N 4NSeoAO AOOoJ
CHICAGO, May 2S.-The Chicago
Association of Commerce has stirred
up veritable hornets nest" in it's
gratuitous efforts to furnish surplus
Negro labor to Southern communi-
ties" 1t develops that there is a
small conspiracy of plans, backed by
Northern white men who have capi-
tai invested in the South, to get the
black laborers South
AS a matter of cold fact, there is a
great demand for laborers in the
South, and there is an increasing de-
mand for laborers in the North, but
the race men are exercising careful
judgment in deciding where they go,
and only small percentage care in
the least to return South. Many of
them are going North and West, but
few South.
In addition to this, as fast as they
can get passports, thousands of for
eigners are going back to their native
lands abroad. So great has been the
demand, for one reason and another,
that Congress has been besieged with
requests to pass law placing restric-
tions on emigration.
| All of this makes the Race man
most important factor in the economic
situation. There is every reason to
believe that, in the long run, he will
fare far better because of the press
ing demand for industrial workers in
many fields.
The majority of the communities
that received the famous telegram
from the Chicago Association of Com
merce have sent word back that they
do not wish the Southern Negroes
with Northern IDEAS" and the few
who have sent representatives up here
to look them over" have returned to
their homes with the opinion that
there has been change in the man.

SERVANT PROBLEM
BEGINNING TO WORRY
SOUTHERN LADIES
(By Associated Negro press)

ROCK HILL, S. c., May 2S.--There
has been some discussion here rela
tive to report that the Colored WON
en- of the community have grown so
prosperous with material goods and
money, that they have formed an or
ganization known as 'Fold-the-A Arms
club.
One daily states: whether they
have formed any club or not, house
holders tell us more difficulty is be-
ing experienced by Colored labor now
than ever before in the history of this
city, and no one seems to be able to
learn just what the trouble is"
Another states: Let the white peo-
pie learn to serve themselves. 1t will
not harm them. To the housekeeper
who has learned to serve herself there
is no terror in the situation. We re-
quire too much service anyway ~
This comment from a white newspa
per in the South reads like fiction
There is no servant problem for those
who serve themselves.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The effort to
arrive at closer working relations be
tween the Races in Chicago. in order
that there may be a definite program
carried, is meeting with tremendous
success. The work is advancing so
far that the South is beginning to take
notice and has reached the point Of
offering suggestions, which, one of
the Southern papers states, "the
North has never been slow in offering
to the South"
Among the suggestions offered by

popular in Chicago, but has an ele-

terprise, ito begin with, that better
results will be achieved in the educa-
tion of the Negro by the establishment
for him of separate schools, presided
over by Negroes. This would be an
innovation in Illinois, but one that we
think that the better advised men of
the Negro Race would approve, since
it would permit the Negro boy or girl
to develop his or her mental re-
conrcec SLOWLY and in Eaanino with
the Instincts of the race, and free from
the inevitable distinction of the class
room, where the student, to grow up
in proper, and not false environ

only after he leaves the northern
grade school.
This, with the provision of en-

abandonment of the present policy OF
using him as political football, will
go far toward aiding the North in find
