firing did not reach the men in the
front line until the last moment, when
the runners sped with it from fox hole

From these accounts, which provide
an ample basis for definite formation
of opinion, it is evident that the flag
was better or more bravely
served than by the Negro troops who
of late have been coming back to the

But for them and the rest of their
race it will be well to remember that
service to the flag includes quite as
much in times of peace as in times of
war, however different its nature.
What the Negro soldier has done is
proof of the ability of his race to meet
an occasion when it rises.
For many years that race has faced
a need for becoming more useful citi-
zens Constantly its own leaders have
urged moral and industrial progress.
The response has been less gratifying
than these leaders desired and hoped.
Now, with the proud war record of
their OWL soldiers for a spur, Ameri-
can Negroes should determine to go
forward at a faster rate than in the
past.
They have had many and hard OBJ
stacles to overcome. Their handicaps

Can the Nations who feel that they
have most at stake in the matter trust
their defense to the League of Ma
lions as successfully as to their own
efforts combined with supporting al

cannot, then it must be obvious that
the sacrifices of A~rmageddon have
been a failure, and that the last state
of humanity is worse, far worse than
any before it. The end aimed at is
so vast that sacrifice will be required
for every nation concerned. For there
is no nation today that can dare to
repudiate the moral claim that it is in

William Howard Taft and Presi-

of Nations to put an end to war by
establishing justice on earth is neces-

showed equally plainly that the cove

establishment of justice among ma
