Abraham Lincoln, whose clear under
standing Of right and wrong, whose
great qualities of heart and mind and
character finally succeeded In liberat-
ing an entire race, was born just 40
years ago, February II, 1909. in
rough log cabin in the undeveloped
farmland Of Kentucky.
The commemoration of his birthday
will this year, as in every other, be
marked especially by the recollection
Of the Emancipation Proclamation,
which gave us our freedom.
In Lincoln's own words, this eman-
cipation from slavery meant for the
Negro "the right to eat the bread, with
out the leave of anybody else, which
his own hand earns"
This was Sc years ago. Today, by
summons from the Federal Govern
ment, amounting almost to proclama-
ton, the right is urged upon US not
only to eat the bread we earn, but
steadily to set aside q part Of it so that
eventually we may achieve our eman-
cipation from economic dependence.
Money invested in government secu-
rities-War Savings Stamps and Lib
erty Bonds-is the key which will
unlock for us financial liberty. Out
Of the fund they create we can get
homes, comforts, education, advance
ment and recreation. As Lincoln said {:
..The hired laborer Of yesterday labors
on his own account today and will
hire Others to labor for him tomor-
row."
Not mere labor alone is necessary.
To be ready to use an opportunity the
products of ones labor must be accu-
muIated. Again, as Lincoln said:
"Get ready and the chance will come" "
There is another reason, still bet
ter one than that Of personal profits,
why we should make every effort to
save and invest in Savings Stamps and
Liberty Bonds. Money loaned in this
way to the government-to give US
share in that for which Lincoln gave
his life-will help to pay of the enor-
nous costs of the war for which many
Negroes have given their lives. They
gave themselves gladly. They have
made wonderful, never-to-be-forgot-
ten record of patriotism and bravery
in the war.
Unless we do our full part, which,
after all, is extremely small compared
to what they who shall never return
have done, we shall have broken faith
with them and tarnished the splendid
shield Of patriotism which they bur
nished so brightly.
Can anyone imagine Lincoln, who
devoted all his time, energy. and talents

NEGRO BRIGADE COMMENDED.
A. P. O. ia, France
% December, ]

.
% December, 1918.
From Malvern Hill Barnum, Brigadier
General, U. 8. A.
Brigade.
Subject: Relief from command.
The order detaching me from COM
mand Of the 183rd Brigade was so unex-
pected, and coming, as it did, just as the
brigade was moving, made it impossi-
BILE for me to give expression to my re-
gret at having to sever an association
OF over a year and one that will be one
Of the pleasantest recollcctions Of my
army career.
Having organized and trained the
1S3rd Brigade and commanded it
through its active service in the pres
ent war, I can speak for the willing
compliance to all requirements that
made the work very enjoyable. When
men work with their hearts as well as
their heads and hands, the best results
are certain to follow.
I feel that the officers and enlisted
men of the brigade may justly be proud
Of the record made and I believe that
history will accord them no little
credit.
I trust that each one will do his ut
must to insure to the brigade the finest
record possible during the remainder of
it's period Of service.
Finally in returning to their homes I
trust that each one will take with him
a high sense Of responsibility as an
American citizen and keen desire to
perform faithfully whatever duties fall
to him in the future.
With such heritage from his army
service each one will not only have
helped win the war and thus rendered a
great service to humanity, but will,
himself, have become the gamer
through the remaining years of his life.
ts (Signed) Malvern-Hill Barnum.
Note: The 1s3rd Brigade is COM
posed of the 35Oth Machine Gun Bat
talon, 365th Infantry Regiment and
366th Infantry Regiment.

to the cause OF his fellow humans, fail
his brothers in such task?
Had not all Of us done our part in
liberating the oppressed countries of
Europe, by now France, Belgium and
other entire nations would be chained
in slavery to the Germans. Then, alone,
the United States would have to wres-
tie with the tyrant. Fifty years after
Lincoln devoted his life to the liberia
tion Of race, that race had the op-
portunity to assist in liberating the
world.
Can anyone imagine Lincoln stop
ping half way in such task?
To complete it, 1919 must be year
of real thrift for everyone. BY spend
ing wisely-getting the most of what
we actually need for the amount we
can afford to spend-something will
be left over to save. BY saving intel
ligentIy, giving attention to the i'm
portant things and eliminating unnec-
essaries-something will be accumu-
lated for investment. BY Investing
safely-in Thrift Stamps, War Savings
Stamps or Liberty Bonds-we shall
help complete the task, win personal
prosperity, and assist in gaining ma
tional prosperity.
The remembrance Of Lincoln's Birth
day should be q reminder to prove our
selves worthy Of his great faith.
