Marines in China

PEKING. Dec. 13.-There will be no
Christmas goose on the mess tables
OF the legation guard Of United States
marines this year. just as there was
no turkey at Thanksgivin But "a
noble bird" will grace the board.
Uncle Sans marines will feast on
the great bustard OF China 1t Yule-
tide. After samplins hustard at their
feast. they arc .unani-
mously in favor of giving il a place
on their Christmas menu.
Recently 4 party of marines was
given a furlouGh and hunting pass
TO shoot in the hills 100 miles north
west OF the Chinese capital. The
party brought back number OF bus
tard. The mess sampled them and
yelled for more.
SO more marine hunters were sent
OUT. and bustard WAS served at
Tha nksgivins. Another group OF
crack shots will be sent out for bus
tard before the Christmas holidays.
Tho bustard runs from fifteen to
iGhtcen pounds. and is one OF the most
delicious game birds in the world. 1t
is related to the plover and crane. and
is found in abundance here.
The natives are unable to hunt ii
successfully because of their inferior
firearms. but the straight shooting ma
rines never fail TO get big bag.

without Il leader and they arc cherish
ing bitter feeling towards this dis
tinguishcd historian and scholar to
this day.
But, it may be that wo are saying
too much. Let us quote further from
DR.. Dubois relative to this matter.
He says:
On December l, the editor of The
Crisis went 20 France. Within II
month after landing he was utterly
amazed and dumbfoundcd at the rev
Citations poured upon him. He heard
OF conditions, acts, conSpracieS.
Wholesale oppression and cruelty Of
which he had no previous inkling.
lie lid net expect to - Il that the
black o"ldicrS had been altogether
happy War is war The soldier, black
or white must endure cold and heat,
rain and mud, hunger and hurt. More
over the editor knew that the colorcd
soldier i'll addition to all this would
tccl the sting of prejudice and discrim
nation.
But the editor of Tho Crisis and
we are persuaded, not one other
American Negro in Il million knew or
dreamed Of conditions like this:
l. Wholesale dismissal and transfer
of Negro officers regardless Of merit.
2. Wide and continuous distribution
of printed and spoken propaganda
against an ''inferior" race.
3. Open retcratior of unfounded
charges OF cowardicc and infamous
crime.
i. Deliberate attempts to discour-
age morale, withhold equipment and
put uncquippcd units into battle.
5. MiStrcating, ovcrworking and
almost cnSlaving many of the steve
dorc laborcrs.
&. DismisGing and dcmoting white
officers who refused TO join the anti
Negro campaign.
Z. Organizing one Of the bittcreSt
and most singing campaigns of per
sonal afront and insult ever attempt
cd in civilized land against civiliz
cd people.
For four long months story after
story and document after document
poured into the editors hands sub
stantiating the above charges. For
four months tho editor was helpless.
Every step he took was hcralded by

We do not sec why DR.. Dubois
should have presumed that fair treat
mcnt would be accorded colored sol
diers when they We're in charge OF a
Department of the Government known
to have not only racial antipathy to
the Negroes, but towards tho Jews.
They practiccd their deviltry upon
Lieutenant clipper Il decade ago and
found way to officially proclaim
that Lieutenant Whitaker cut his
own cars from his own head. They
declared Col. Charles Young to be
unfit for service, disabled and stuff
not know, although he could ride
forty miles on horseback and could
"cut pigeons wing" to the queens
taste" had he felt so inclined.
But DR.. w. e b. Dubois, to our
establishment admits that he signed
pledge not to communicate to this
country the distressing facts that
came under his observation. Is he
not aware that Hon. Emmett J.
Scott was compelled to observe a
pledge even more drastic than the
one that he signed? How else could
he have held the position as Special
Assistant to the Secretary Of War?
Secrecy is the watch word in that
Department. 1t appears to us that
Dr.. Dubois is blaming Mr.. Scott
for doing the very thing that he Du
Bois) was compelled to do. Bringing
the matter home TO ourselves, this
is why we have never held public
office and it is why we have not con
nectod ourselves with many Of the
organizations that are now in exist
cncc. We want tho right Of free
speech and the right to criticisc and
advise in matters pertaining to a race
with which we are identified.
Let us presume for moment that
Dr. Dubois had been appointed a
captain in the regular army, common
ly known as desk captain" would
ter that is now appearing in the
New York Crisis? In view Of tho
pledge that he admitted that he
signed when he was not a desk cap
tain, we feel confident that he would
have been as cooingly silent as the
distinguished race leader who has
had an office adjacent to the one oc
cupicd by the distinguished Secretary
Of War.
Speaking Of himself in the third
person, Dubois says:
He was compelled to sign the fol
lowing pledge as to his correspondence
/. with America:
"To avoid criticism Of all Allied
Forces; to avoid any observation
tending to aid the enemy or to injurc
morale Of tho Allies, and not to pub
