SONS. FUND TO HONOR
Mt. H0LY0KE MOTHERS
Wilson b. Pettibope Opens Campaign
10 Increase College Teachers Pay


10 Increase College Teachers Pay
A fund to honor Mount Holyoke
women has been started by their sons,
it was announced today by Miss Mary
Louise Allen, chairman Of the Mount
Holyoke College Alumnae Endowment
Fund Committee.
The plan, which is sponsored By
such prominent sons Of Mount Hol-
yoke alumnae as William Howard
Taft and Ralph Connor, the novelist,
is To create fund for the endowment
of i professorship which shall be a
permanent memorial to the work
Mount Holyoke women have done in
the world. President Mary Z. Woolley
has given her approval TO the idea and
has constituted the "Sons' Fund" as
II is known, a definite part Of the
So 100000 endowment and building
fund that Mount Holyoke is striving
TO raise.
The Sons Fund is to be composed
exclusively Of gifts from the sons of
women who received their training at
Mount Holyoke. The first gift toward
this fund, it was announced, has been
given by Wilson B. Pettibone Of Han
nibal, Mo-, who contributed $4,000 in
memory Of his mother, Cordelia VIII
son Pettibone, Mount Holyoke grad
uate Of the class of 1854.
Ex-Pres. VIM. II. Taft's mother,
Lauisa NJ. Torrey Taft, was Mount
Holyoke woman, as well as his aunt,
Della Torrey. They attended Mount
Holyoke at the same time, finishing
their courses in 1874. Mr. Taft made
the following appeal in support of the
endowment fund:
Il sincerely hope that Mount Hol-
yoke College will succeed in the effort
which her alumnae are making to Sc
cure a contribution large enough 70
enable the college authorities to pay
adequate salaries to their teachers.
The noble history of Mount Holyoke
and her usefulness in the cause of the
education of women entitle her to the
support Of the public in this matter.

AN APPRECIATION
The Fighting of the Colored Troops
and Fair Play to Their Race.

To the Editor of the Transcript
How wonderfully the great war has
brought out the finer qualities of the
various races as exhibited by their
soldiers fighting in France! France
has used 100000 colored men in her
armies, 680,000 of them combatants,
and where the fighting has been
fiercest, there her black soldiers have
been at the front as shock troops.
France has not begrudged them their
glory or failed TO acknowledge her
debt.
Into our own armies our colored
men have gone with an eagerness and
loyalty that equal that of their white
brethren. Their bravery-their impe-
tuosity in battle-has been typically
American. Their endurance, their
patience, their cheerfulness have been
marked. They have won their right
to an equal standing in the American
Army even though that Army can
point to such valor as was exhibited
by the Marines and the Regulars in
the Bois des Americans.
No wonder General Pershing. when
asked if he wanted colored soldiers,
answered with strong feeling, "Of
course want them. Are they not
American citizens, and are they not as
good fighters and workers as other
men,"
In the crusade for humanity, Amer
lea brings deliverance TO oppressed
races across the sea. A grateful
world is pouring homage at her feet.
Is it possible longer to conceive Of her
denying within her own borders the
equality before the law and the fair
play which her sword has helped to
establish in other lands?
Will not her soldier sons return with
minds freed from former prejudices
and with hearts eager to set up within
their own America the liberty, the
justice, which the thunder OF their
guns proclaimed in France?
Can we meet our boys with similar
spirit? Are we altogether free from
the taint of discrimination Who hat
has ever seen the tender ministrations
Of the colored nurse, the gentleness,
the sympathy, the untiring attention,
the devotion, the loyalty that knows
no limit, is not panied by the injus-
tice that denies her, though excellins
in every needed quality, because OF the
tfnge Of color given her by God, tie
right or the privilege Of ministering 10
those who are wounded and sick and
crippled?
Today. starting as il seems from
those awful trenches in Flanders and
France, stronger spiritual interets rs
spreading over the earth, renewed
interest in the fundamental principles
Of human liberty, and deeper detesi-
alton Of injustice. And once again, as
Lowell sang:
To every man and nation comes the
moment 10 decide.
In the strife Of Truth with Falsehood,
fer the good or evil side.
New occasions teach new duties; Time
makes ancient good uncouth;
They mus, upward still, and onward,
who would keep abreast Of truth
List the ominous stern whisper from
+ the Delphic cave within:
They cnslave their children's children
who ulaaze compromise with sin.
+ God grant that Ameriea may rise q
the fun measure of her duty and that
each one Of Us may take our stand in
loyal support.

people on the walks waved us g hand or spoke a greeting in a language we could not under stand. Many old men and women cried. while boys followed us hanging on to our hands, begging for tobacco, biscuits and chocolate.
 At the station. we found awaiting us a mixed train of third class passenger coaches and box cars. So we had our first experience with the now famous French troop coach which was boasted to hold (translated into English). eight horses or forty men. Well. since we had no horses with us. t simply meant that forty men must occupy the car while 1t was soon discovered eight horses had travelled on the last journey of the coach. Sufficient corn qiIHe" and hard tack were handed out in each car to last during the run. The usual orders about hanging out of .ars, getting off at stops, and taking wine aboard cars were giqen out, and then the train pulled out. And due to the joy of getting away from the res camp, and to the eXcitment Of seeing France along the route, and to the anticipation of getting real action very soon, we were very happy bunch as we sped along southWard, eagerly watch ing for everything that would add to our great adve nture. = Continued
