Comes 1t not from heart as cOllra geOlls and
flows it not upon the same sacrfical altar?
In the all-scelng eye of that Great jehovah
the omnlpotent God of Battles is not the
blood bursting from a dusky skin as sacred
as the blood of his white brother9 In the
rivers of blood, washing tyranny from the
world ways. is not the blood of the Amer
lean Negro drop for drop, as sacrosanct as
any with which it mingles? And when in
the crash OF battle souls released from their
earthly tenement rise aloft are they not
equally white in His eyes9
But American colored troops had to bear
other burdens besides the shocks of war and
the strifes of charges They had to endure
from their white American brethren in arms
not from the French or British-the most
determined anti-Negro prejudice Not one
third OF the white American soldiers would
salute Negro officer and American Negro
soldiers were habitually jeered at and dis
paraged by their white American fellow
soldiers
But they had to bear still more grievous
burden. American colored troops had to
sustain themselves and maintain their
morale not only against habituaI insults in
their own ranks but against the most insidi-
Gus German propaganda We quote but
briefly from one leafiet showered by Ger
mans upon American colored troops: 'What
is democracy? Personal frcedom all citi-
zens enjoying the same rights socially and
before the law. Do you enjoy the same
nights as the white people do in America
the land Of freedom and democracy, or are
you not rather treated over there as second
class citizens? Can you 90 into a restaurant
where white people dine? Can you get
seat or berth in the railroad car or can you
even ride in the South in the same street
car with white people? And how about the
law? Are lynchng and the most horrible
crimes connected Herewith lawful proceed
n9s in democratic country? Now all this
is entirely different in Germany where they
do like colored people, where they treat
them as gentlemen and as white men, etc.,
And there was enough truth in this insidi-

cases of instability than those of white men.
Thus there is far less neurasthenia, there are
fewer instances of psychopathic states, and
there is only half as much alcoholism in col
ored as in white troops. Nutritional disor
ders :. . are also less common among
the Negroes. AS Love and Davenport de-
scribe the unaffected Negro, he seems &c
have more stable nerves, has better eyes, and
metabolizes better. Thus, in many respects
the unaffected colored troops show them
selves to be constitutionally better physio-
logical machines than the white men,.

Ham Fails to Sell
 Rapidly This Year

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Dealers m pro- visions here are complaining of the extraordinary slowness of the sale Of ham. This condition is in the large part ascribed to an unusual lack of orders from the South.
 According to trade authority the South appears to have quite enough pork of it's own, inasmuch as one packer here is selling at as low as 20 cents a pound, wholesale, smoked hams made out of hogs raised in the south. Although this price is out oi line with general quotations, the smoked hams fill the bill and as long as they are available it has the ef feet of slowing up the trade in north ern hams. Chicago pickled hams art selling around 23 cents a pound ane of course cannot compare with smoR K, ed hams which are selling at q cents. l. one packer in this way: Ut IS no what the hams are worth put wha YOU can get for them.'
