hold the colored messenger boys dart

messages for the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, regaled in the head

cal company. And the messages COM
ing in contact with their hands do not
seem to be polluted.
AT first one doubted the truthfulness
of his eyes, but the more he looked
the more colored messengers he saw
and now they are commonplace. When
the first two or there colored boys
were given employment the white lads

Through the Federal Board for Voca-

connection with the War Department,
will undertake to restore all of its sol

that they have given freely OF the

The Government is OF the opinion
that the announcement OF such plan
cannot fail to inspire confidence in the
soldier that his material interests are
being cared for by competent authority
and that the nation has no intention OF
forgetting his valued services and sac
