RALPH TYLER, COLORED WAR
CORRESPONDENT DE-
FENDS SOLDIERS

Columbus, O.-Ralph w. Tyler,
has sent the editor of Harvey's Week
ly, the following letter, condemning
his brutal attack an Colored Soldiers
Editor Harcvey's Weekly.
New York, N. Y.
Sir: In the November 1st num-
Der of your pamphlet, which you dig
Nifty with the name of "Harvey's
Weekly" you print one of the most
brutal and unsupported editorial at
tacks ever made on the colored SOL
der and the colored race, under the
caption, 1.-THE Negro Soldier"
| am in doubt as to whether you
wrote the editorial, or whether Col.
Allen J. Green, late chief of staff for
the SO (colored) Division, wrote it.
If you did write it, then Col. Green
must have furnished the alleged in
formation, for on applying 1.-THE dead
ly parallel" | find that throughout
your editorial you use, verbatim of
ceratim, the contents of that letter
Col. Greer wrote Senator McKeller,
under date of Dec. 6, 1918. But Col.
Greer, lacking consistency, which is
even an admirable trait in soldier
as well as an editor or pamphelteer,
had previously issued numerous gen.
eral orders and memorandum extell-
ing in the highest terms the colored
soldiers of the 92nd Division for eff
ficiency, department and bravery; he
had issued orders to confer the d..
S. c. on scores of colored officers
and men for exceptional bravery
in the face of the enemy, signing
these orders and memorandum with
his full name and affixing thereto
his full name and afiixing his mill
tary title thereto to attest to their
genuineness.
Col. Greer's letter to Senator Me
Keller, under date of Dec. 6, 1918,
and to which your or his editorial
suggests deadly parallel, was writ
ten to discourage the use of colored
men in the army, either as officers
or men, and it would appear from
your editorial referred to that be-
tween you and Col. Greer there exists
a gentleman's 90 agreement to as
sasinate the colored soldier-even
those who fell on Flanders field to
establish something they had never
enjoyed-democraey.
| can understand the prompting
for Col Greer's antagonism to the
colored soldier and colored race, II
report that was generally circula-
ted throughout the 92nd Division Is
correct, alleging that colored Of
ficer thrashed him-his superior-for
directing abusive, profane words to
him when they both met at the home
of certain French woman, the col
onel and chief of staff being camou-
tagged in a lieutenant's uniform, as
the report allowed, the colored Off
Ger was allowed to resign. ! repat,,
if this reprt is correct, | can under
stand the prompting for Col. Greer's
antagonism for the colored race, even
If | cannot understand his inconsi5-
tency in first extolling the colored
soldiers of his division in numerous
general ordera and then assalllns
them after the armistice had been
signed, but am at loss to under
stand your antagonism, unless you
have been hypnotized by Col. Greer,
who evidently wrote your editorial
or supplied the lying information.

A Home Building association Is very
apt to be organized in this city soon.
This ought to prove good safe in
vestment and at the same time en-
courage large number of wage earn
ers to own their homes. One should
not expect to receive too large per-
centage from his investment, being
satisfied with FIVE or six per cent, real
ling that his money is being used for
q purpose that will mean a great deal
for the future Of our city. A man who
owns his home has more interest in
the welfare of the city in which he
lives. He is apt to think more Of his
job. He will pay more attention to
the way in which the city is being run.
Owning ones own home may not be
much cheaper than renting, but it will
be an incentive to save. Many q man
is the proud possessor of his own home
because of some good home building
association. Let's give this PROPOSE
ton some encouragement. About nj
teen years ago, the Minot Building
and Loan association was organized,
but after operating for short time
the company dissolved. The stock
holders were given back every cent
they had put into the organization.
While the concern lost no one any
money, it would have been . success
had there been anyone willing to man
age the institution. The time is now
ripe for the organization Of . build
ing and loan association. Let's 60.

Minot folks do not know what it
means to 60 hungry. True, there are
a few people living in the city who
have tasted the dregs Of poverty, but
there was never time that q hungry
person in this city could not get a
square meal if he made known his de-
sire. II one really wants to be thank
full for his lot, whatever it may be,
he should read in the last issue Of
the Saturday Evening Post, the arti-
Gle on Armenia by Eleanor Franklin
Egan, who recently visited that dew
astated country. These poor people
are dying like flies for the want of
even crust Of bread to eat. The
starving Armenians are eating grass
in vain attempt to keep alive until
help arrives. And this happened many
months after the signing Of the Arm.
istice, after America had subscribed
Millions Of dollars to help them. With
half Of the people in America eating
a great deal more than is good for
them, and with plenty Of people will
ing to give, it appears as tho the ones
in charge of Armenian relief have
been falling down on the job.

INSURANCE. .

INSURANCE.
An insurance policy is one Of the
best assets businessman can posi-
bly, have. Ones business may be in
good shape today, tomorrow it may be
jeopardized by the tickle hand Of for
tune. A good sized insurance policy
establishes credit that may pull ones
business over the perilous period that
may come. Paying for insurance is an
incentive to save. 1t teaches one the
habit of thrift. 1t may not necessar-
lily prolong life, but one can Shuttle
off this mortal coil" with the satisfac-
ton of having provided for ones de-
pendents. Good insurance costs the
young man but a mere trifie and it is
surprising how quickly twenty-year
endowment for young man Of twen-
ty-one will mature. One young Minot
businessman carries 100000 insur-
ance costing him 1,40O year. This
is an unusually large amount of in
surance, but any young man, possess
ing good health can easily carry q $6,-
900 policy. :.
N. B.-This is not an insurance ad-
vertisement. We do not write insur-
ance.
