Mrs. Jarr. "But don't say a word

the Negro, however the revelation of his abso-

the Amercanism of the Negro.

in the trenches in France, were put
to washing windows and scrubbing

Such duties are not imposed upon
white soldiers returning from over

to the military laws of the army.
In these instances the work was not
performed for the company of which
these soldiers were a part, but was
done on entirely living quarters.
Such discrimination between races
