With the American Army in France.
La Mans, Dec. 20.-One OF the
units of the American army to arrive
here en- route for ,embarkatton ITO
America that has made good, without
having the glamour and spectacular
settings of combat is the 325th Field
Signal battalion of the 92nd Army Di-
vision. the only Colored signal unit in
the American Army. While this bat
TALON has not had to occupy front line
trenches: make raids for prisoners,
or march, in battle formation, INTO
big engagements, it must not be sup
posed that it did not have danger
Gus, and very dangerous, duty to
perform. The boys of this battalion
had to string the wires for telegraphic
and telephone connections at times
when the enemy guns were trained
upon them: so, in many respects theE
dr1ty took them into situations fully
as dangerous as combatapt units. This
battalion is composed of all young
Colored men, save the lieutenant
colonel, major, and two or three white
line officers. They are all, with few
exceptions, college or high school
boys-not a few of them experts In
radio and electric engineering. and
those who, were not experts in the
work when the battalion was formed,
are now most proficient men, Major
Spencer, now leutenant-colonel, who
was responsible for the formation of
this unit, was firm in the belief that
Colored boys could make good, and
he has remained with it long enough
TO experience his belief becoming
realization. After arriving at Brest
June 18th, the battalion proceeded to
Vitrey. and from that town began
a four day hike to BourbonHe-les
Bains, distance of more than TWEEN
ty miles. From this point, it pro-
ceeded, after a few days, to Voisey
and at Voisey the boys got their first
taste of what was to be, later, their
daily duties. Here the radio company
received its quota of the latest type
of French instruments, a battery plant
was established, and a full supply of
telephones and wire was issued to
companies and c. Here, too, the
infantry signal platoons of the bat
talon joined the outfit and shared in
the training.
The first test of real courage given
the men, and their first introduction
into real fighting, in addition to
stringing wires, and sending and re-
ceiving radio messages, came on the
afternoon of September 9th when a
party of liaison men, including the
colonel and Lieut. Herbert, latter be-
ing Colored, advanced beyond the Bat
TALON p c. and at the suggestion OF
a French soldier, turned to the left.
They soon found themselves beyond
their lines, and directly in front OF a
German machine gun nest. Inc
colonel divided his men into small
groups and advanced on the enemy S
position. This sortie resulted in the
signal boys capturing eight German
nr;soners and two machine guns, but
tb. attack caused the loss of Corporal

NEW SALARIES
IN CATLN BILL
Mexican Member Presents New
Measure on the Much Dis
cussed Subject of Pay

A new teachers salary increase
bill, embodying the views of n num-
ber of educators and legislators, was
added to the measures on the sub
ject now before the Legislature by
Mr.. Catlin, Mexican. 1t is designed
to replace the Woodruff bill, which
is on the House calendar. 1t is
calculated by Mr.. Catlin and his
associates in drafting the bill that
it would call for the State to appro-
pirate about S2,500.000 additional
yearly and the school districts to
furnish n like amount.
According to its sponsor. teachers
holding provisional certificates would
receive a $50 monthly minimum. the
district paying $40 and the State
SIS; professional SIS, districts pay
ing S45 and the State $40: and
teachers holding higher certificates,
SIS, the districts paying S45 and
the State $40. These increases, he
said. would be about 25 per cent
over 1917-1S salaries. Rural teachers
with provisional certificates would
get $40 per month additional.
The increase system for teachers
now receiving over the minimum
would be: Provisional certificate
holders receiving $50 would set $40
from districts and $50 from the
State: professionals getting SIS,
would get SIS and $40. from the
same sources and holders of higher
certificates receiving SS5 would get
$50 from districts and $50 from the
State. Teachers receiving from 500
to $50 monthly would get the same
pay from the district and $50 addi-
uonal from the State and those re-
ceiving $50 to 5000 would get the
same from districts and SIS from
the State.

Increase in Phone
Rates to Meet Wage
Advance Is Likely
BIZ Associated Press

Boston, April 22.-Normal tele-
phone service is working in New
England to-day. Discrimination on
the part ia large number of the
operators in Boston to accept the
terms outlined in the agreement
reached Sunday for the settlem ent
of the strike, which began last
Tuesday, was overcome at a mass
meeting which finally ratified the
agreement. The men workers who
struck last week had agreed to the
terms awarded them and most of
them were on hand early yesterday.
That the wage advance granted
the operators and electrical workers
will mean an increase in rates
