Work along this line started last

to learn the proposed plans. They
met at Soldiers and Sailors Head

NO LEGION COLOR LINE

Before the great convention of
Uncle Sans fighters at St Louis a
few weeks ago, no one thought Sc
riously of any color line agitation
against the thousands of colored
soldiers who shouldered their guns
and did their bit, towards making the
world safe for democracy. Of course
there were rumors from the South,
and a few fre-eating Cracker" put
their prejudice into bitter words, and
threatened what they would do, if

fan, but nothing serious happened.
But trouble did manifest when the
host of world war veterans met in
st. Louis, and the-spirit of American
prejudice, running true to form
voiced itself in a proposition to con-
fine the members Of the proposed
Legion entirely to white men. As
soon as the movement started how
ever, the true spirit of democracy
bestirred itself, and from all sections
of the country, from press, platform,
pulpit, came strong protest against
such a grave injustice to the eolored
fighters for the honor of the Stars
and Stripes, and for the peace of the
world.
And that protest was heard in st.
Louis and when the gathering took
up the work of organizing the brave
men who sprang sto colors" at the
first bugle call, the fire eaters" found
themselves in a very uncomfortable
minority. They would not be squeleh-
ed however, without a fight, but they
failed TO get their shameless demands
any further then that preliminary
caucus. The "Jim Crow" proposition
never reached the floor of the Con-
vention.
So the Legion was organized on
the broad platform of service IN the
worlds war, whether that service
was m a Labor Battalion, Depot Bri-
gade, Stevsadore Regiment or the
heroes who went -over the top" to
.sNo mans land" And upon that
platform stand all American soldiers

Just come out Of the trenches where
we had battered down the linden
burg line, taken every objective,

On every hand the chaplain was
greeted with, ''well, Captain, what

now?" for it was no secret that Col.
Roberts thought the world Of Brad
dan, and was often in secret CONVEX
sation with him. relative to the regi-
ment's morale. The saddest man in
the regiment was the chaplain. With
in an hour after this cruel attack his
course of action had been mapped
out. His mind was made up and he
had resolved to beard the lion in
his den, Douglass in his hall, even
if he was sent to prison or shot at
sunrise.
His best friend, Major ]. r. White,
accused him of selling out his race,
of laying down on the regiment simp-
ly to curry favor with the races

But that was because Jim did not

As the chaplain neared the place
where were assembled the men, a
mighty shout split the air, they began
shouting, Captain, are you proud

it remembered that during the FIVE
weeks of their engagement in the
region of Monkey Mountain the chap

That was all; the men went wild.

was sure to come.

was received.
Roberts screamed with rage and
said to Lieut.. Washington to file it
in the regimental communications:
The entire regiment was now up in
arms, tbs men were sullen and mo-
rose; the officers chagrined, murmur-
ing and muttering like a smoldering
volcano Just before it sends forth
its lava and deadly fumes. The col
onel became apprehensive, then fear
full. He realized for once that be
had overshot his mark, that what
little respect few of the officers and
men had for him, he had lost it.
His pet complaint was that the chap
lain treated him with scant courtesy
and that even if he was not liked as
q man his rank should be respected.
The sky pilot was ordered to report

upon arriving found him in a tOper-
