terday
T. o. Fillette G. CO., local broNcrs,
who have the new schooner in charge,
report that she. is being fitted out SO
| as to meet with all the requirements
to obtain her class.
1t is expected that the vessel will
leave Saturday or Sunday for Tampa,
where she will load with lumber for

cargo at Porto Rico she will go to-
New Orleans, where she will load
with general cargo for Danish port.
The schooner Santa Rosa, built re-
Gently at Bagdad, will load cargo with

it is understood. For the past sew
eral weeks she has been lying in
berth at Central wharf. She will load,
it is understood, with general cargo.
The American schooner Hossack,
which left here a short time ago with
a cargo of lumber for Havana, is due
to leave that port within the next
10 or IL days on her return trip here
for her third cargo Of lumber for the
Cuban port.
The American steamer Wasp Is due
in port perhaps within the next two
weeks from Cuba, where she is dis
charging cargo. Upon her arrival
here she will receive new furnaces and
will very probably load cargo for some
port.
The new three-mast auxiliary
schooner being built on Palafox wharf
by the PaIafo Shipbuilding Company,
was not put over yesterday as had
been intended by the builders, but will
very probably be launched this after
noon at o'clock, it is said.
The launching of the "Cushnoc,"
the first of the big steel ships being
built at the plant of the Pensacola
Shipbuilding Company, which was
scheduled for one day this week will
very probably be deferred until Mon
day or Tuesday of next week.

slider In advance the merits of
the different proposals. In gene
raj popularity the idea OF some
AmericanizatiOn Foundation Is
running neck and neck with the
project for a Roosevelt memorial
cemetery in Belleau Wood for
the American soldiers who fell in
France. A Roosevelt highway,
running from Canada to the Gulf
is finding some warm advocates.
DIR. William T. Hornaday, diree-
tor of the New York Geological

port for his eloquent plea for a
marble column In Central Park.
The consensus of opinion seems
TO be that the memorial which
the American people erect to The
Odore Roosevelt must be as natio-
nal In scope as he was himself.
No monument of stone that by It's
nature must be localized, In the
popular mind, be made to express

Death And Funeral of Fred w.
Block

The many friends and associates,
of Fred W. Block, were greatly
shocked, last Monday morning, when
they learned; that he had suddenly
passed away on that morning at his
home, s22 Buena Avenue.
Mr.. Block, was a whole souled, big
hearted good fellow and he had a
wide circle of warm friends among
all classes of his fellow citizens
For many years, he was prominent
in the political and business affairs
of this city and county. He had honar-
ably served, as superintendent of the
Map Department of the City of Chi
cago. As Deputy Commissioner Of
Public Works, as Commissioner of
Public Works of Chicago, as City
Treasurer and President and member
of the Board of Review of Cook
county.
At the Time of his death; he was
vice-president of the Miami Coal Co.
He was Secretary and Treasurer Of
the John Block and Son extensive
manufacturing perfumers; he was
also President of the Block Brennan
Construction Company; he was also
interested in several other business
enterprises and for some years past,
he was rated, with the millionaire
business men of this city
He was an honored and prominent
member of all the leading clubs IN
this city.
Mr.. Block was one of our Oldest
and warmest friends and We join with
his host of friends in extending our
deepest sympathy to his constant
and devoted wife Mrs Block and to
the other members of his family over
the great loss which they have sus-
tanned in his sudden death

ness of his spirit in the war, for
the reason that opportunities for
enlistment were not opened to
him to the same extent as to the
whites. But enough can be gather

he was filled with the same feel
ing of patriotism, the same mart
ial spirit, that fired his white
fellow citizen in the cause for
world freedom
GAS a general rule, he was fair
In his dealings with draft Off
eial; and IN the majority of eases,
having the assistance of his white
employers. he was able to present
fairly such claims for deferment
or discharge as he may have had,
for the consideration of the va
rious draft boards In eOnsequen-
ce, there appears to have been no
racial discrimination made In the
determination Of his claims. In

ers of the Negro race compare
favorably with the proportion Of

Washington, District of COlum-
bia.- The following extract from
the official report of the provost
Marshal General of the United
States Army to the Secretary of
War, gives a highly interesting
and informing story of the part
played, by the eolored soldiers
who were called TO the defense of
the flag of this nation through
the operation of the Selective
Draft Law
"The part that has been play
ed by the Negro in the great
world drama upon which the eur
tain is now about to fall is but
another proof of the complete
unity of the various elements
that 60 to make up this great
Nation Passing through the sad
and rigorous experience of slave
ry; ushered into a sphere of civil
and political activity where he
was to match his endeavors with
those of his former masters still
embittered by defeat; gradually
working his way toward the
achievement of success that
would enable both him and the
world to justify his new life of
freedom; surrounded for over
one half a century of his new life
by the specter of that slavedOm
through which he had for eentu-
ries past laboriously toiled; met
continuously by the prejudice
born of tradition: still the slave,
to a large extent, of superstition
fed by ignorance - in the light
of this history, some doubt was
felt and expressed, by the best
friends of the Negro, when the
call came for a draft upon the
man-pOwer of the Nation,
whether he would possess suffie-
lent stamina to measure up TO
the full duty Of citizenship, and
would give to the Stars and Stri-
pes, that had guaranteed for him
the same liberty now sought for
all nations and all races, the
response that was its due. And.
on the part of many of the lead
ers of the Negro race, there was
apprehension that the sense Of
fair play and fair dealing, which
is so essentially an American cha
racteristie would not, nay could
not, in a eOutry of such diversi-
fled views, with sectional feeling
still slumbering but not dead, be
meted out to the members of the
colored race.
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1919-03-15

Aft0-
race were as ready 20 serve as
their white neighbors is amply
proved by the reports from the
local boards. A Pennsylvania
board, remarking upon the eager
ness of its colored registrants to
be induced, illustrated this BY the
action of one registrant, who,
upon learning that his employer
had had him placed upon the
Emergency Fleet list, quit his
job. Another registrant, who was
believed by the board to be above
draft age, insisted that he was
not, and, in stating that he was
not married, explained that he
wanted only one war at a time.
The following description from
Oklahoma and Arkansas boards
are typical, the first serving to
perpetuate one of the best cpl
grams of the war:
EQUAL CONSIDERATION
1--WE tried to treat the Negroes
with exactly the same considera-
ton as was shown the whites.
We had the same speakers to ad-
dress them The Rotary Club pre-
scented them with small silk flags
as they did the whites. The band
turned out to escort them to The
train And the Negroes went to
camp with as cheerful a spirit
as did the white men. One of
them when asked if he were
going to France, said, "No, sir,
Use not gwine to France. Use
gwine through France"
"In dealing with the Negroes,
the southern boards gained a
richness of experience that is
without parallel. No other class
Of citizens was more loyal to the
Government, or more ready to
answer the eountry's call. The
only blot upon their military re
cord was the great number of
delinquents among the more ignO-
rant; but in the majority of cases
this was traced to an ignorance
of the regulations, or to the with
holding of mail by the landlord
(often himself an aristOeratie
slaeker) in order to retain the
mans labor"
"0n October /, 1917, in order
that there might be no question
of the full protection of the
rights of the Negroes, and that
through examination might be
made into all matters effecting
their relation to the war, and its
many agencies, there was annOun-
ced the appointment of Emmett
J. SCOTS as Special Assistant TO
the Secretary of war. Having
been for IS years confidential
secretary to the late Booker T.
Washington, and being at the
time of his appointment Seereta-
" of the Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial Institute for Negroes,
he was peculiarly fitted to render
necessary advice to the War De-
partment with respect to the co
lored people of the various States
TO look after all matters effect
ing the interests of the Negro
selectives and enlisted men, and
to inquier into the tretment
accorded them by the various of
fetal connected with the War
Department In the position Oeeu-
pied by him, the Special Assist
ant to the Secretary of War was
thus enabled to obtain a proper
perspective both Of the attitude
of seleetive service officials to
the Negro, and of the Negro TO
the war. and especially to the
draft. As the representative of
