SECRETARY BAKER SCORED by

lAssociatcd Negro Press.)

Fall River, Mass, Aug.-rhe Fall
RiVer News, one Of the leading dali
les takes Secretary OF War Baker to
task for his expression on the at,l,
tnde of the War Department with
rc!cl ence to Negro soldiers. Says the
News:
"Sccretary Baker has definitely re
Jcctcd the appeal OF colored soldiers

reasons for that offensive decision ne
gives IN letter published IN the y, S
* Tor this mouth. He says that it is
the policy of the War Department to
assign national goards, units, recruit
ed from to duty that will
not incorporate them in a division
composed of white organizations. For
tbs reason it has been decided that
colored troops in national guard SER
VIC shall be organized into pioneer
infantry units that can he assigned
to duty, under command Of corps head
quarters. Mr.. Baker processes the
belief that ''diSpassionate thought"
will yindicate the wisdom Of this pol
icy. lie closes the letter with the as
surance that the war department full
lE appreciates the very creditablc
quality OF service rendered by our
colored organizations during the
world war and that in arriving at
our decision concerning the future
employment OF colored national guard
units, we were guided solely by con
siderations bearing upon military
efficiency, and with no intentions
whatever Of discrimination between
the races that go to mako up our
cCuntry's population.
as it possible that Secretary Bak
c. can suppose that his last statement
can be credited by any considerable
number Of the people? 1t is patent to
every observer that there is sharp
discrimination between the black and
white races. If the decision is not a
STIGMA on the colored soldier on &C
count of his race why does the de.
partmcnt not decree that Irish Amer
cans or Franco-Americans or Polish.
Americans shall be made pioneers as
signed to the drudgery corps?
1t is race stigma that the decis.
1ru affiXcs to colored soldiers. Secre.
tary Baker may think that the exili.
gencies Of the situation justify the do
c'sion. But, if so. let him try to jus.
tify it without the falsehood that no
race discrimination Is intended or
course it is intended"
