ment to organize separate divisions at
any time, either in peace or war.
The matter of organizing colored
soldiers into separate units is funda-
mentally wrong, and believe uncon-
stitutional. 1t is wrong which has
continued since the organization of
colored troops, but the continuation
Of a wrong does not make it right
1t is wrong which the World War,
fought as it was claimed "to make
the world safe for democracy" should
have righted. It is wrong because it
is undemocratic.
1t is wrong because it takes the
co1ored soldiers out of their proper
places in the states in which they
live and makes them a segregated
part of the federated National
Guard. It denies them their rights
as citizens Of their respective states
and forces them into a special segre-
gated status which is not applied to
other groups Of Americans, such as
Germans, Irish, Russians, French,
Poles, Spanish, Portuguese, Danes,
Swedes, British, Austrians, Hungari-
ans, Serbians, Bulgarians, Belgians,
etc.; and it is not applied to Indians,
Jews, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans,
Javanese, East Indians, Burmese, and
other colored races.
If the colored man is citizen, he
is entitled to ALL the rights of citi-
zenship and this includes the right
to be on an absolute equality with
all other citizens. It is unjust for
the government to single him out
from the various elements which
compose American citizenship and
place upon him the badge of a pariah
caste.
| am sorry to learn that I am the
first to protest against this wrong,
but trust that from now on protests
may come in by the thousands, to the
end that you may be induced to
change this policy of your predeces-
sors.

ESPECIAL ASSISTANTS"

It will be recalled that the "jim-
crow assistant" business was started
during the world war, when the then
secretary of war appointed a colored
man as a confidential clerk as
shown by the official records. It was
given out that he was a Especial as
sistant to the secretary of war;" and
many of the people were deceived
and really believed that a colored
man had been appointed assistant
secretary of war. It was evidently a
camoufage for that specific purpose.
Those who were versed in such things
knew that real assistant secretary
to any member of the Presidents
cabinet, must be nominated by the
President and confirmed by the Sen
ate. The so-called Especial assistant
to the Democratic secretary of war
was simply a ''handy man" to act as
a buffer between Baker and the COL
ored people when they came to make
complaints about the outrageous
treatment of the colored soldiers in
the jimcrow cars and jimcrow train
ing camps in the United States and
in the labor battalions and on the
firing line in France. The Especial
assistant" had no actual status as an
official Of the government.
In the campaign Of 1920, THE AP-
PEAL called the attention of the
Republican managers to the fact that
in a previous campaign, Marcus A.
Hanna had appointed three colored
men as actual members of the Adj
visory Committee of the Republican
National Committee and advised that
the same be done in the Harding
Coolidge campaign and that jim
crowism be entirely eliminated. In
this THE APPEAL was supported by
number of prominent colored men
from all parts Of the country. Then
Henry Lincoln johnson of Georgia
won for himself his place as Repub-
lican national committeeman from
Georgia. THE APPEAL was proud
Of his success which. he had achieved
in spite Of the efforts of Roosevelt
and other leaders to prevent his cleo
ton, and sent him letter of con-
graduation and suggested that he
ought to be a memebr of the execu-
tive conmitteaof the party organ
ization and offered what little aid
that could be thrown his way. He
was asked to use his influence to-. pre-
vent any segregation in the campaign.
No reply came to this letter: On
July 8, 1920, a second special delivery
letter was sent to Mr.. johnson con-
tanning the following: "You should
have been made member Of the
executive committee of the Repub-
lican National Committee. Many
women, novices in politics were nut

APPEAL OPPOSES ARMY COLOR

of War for information relative to
the segregation of colored Americans
in the United States army. The fol-
lowing is the reply:
WAR DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON.
Mr.. J. @. Adams,
Editor "THE APPEAL"
St. Paul, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
[ am in receipt of your letter OF
May 18th, in which you take excep,,
ton to the idea of organizing colored
troops into a separate division for
National Guard service. In reply l
may say that although the separate
organization of a colored division has
not been ordered by the War De-
partment for peace time National
Guard service, it is strictly in &C.
cordance with the policy of this De-
partment that colored units shall be
organized into complete and separate
divisions whenever the necessity arises
for the formation of such units in
time of war. This policy is based
upon the experience gained by the
War Department throughout our
country's military history. 1t was
carried out during the World War in
the organization of the 92d and 93d
Divisions which saw overseas service,
and I am surprised that this plan
which met with such thorough APP
proval at the time should now be
objected.
I think that you must have been
incorrectly informed as to the War
Departments attitude on this ques-
ton for years is the first criticism of
this policy which we have received.
On the other hand this Office has re-
ceived numerous letters from colored
citizens endorsing the organization of
combat divisional units of colored
membership and objecting to the fact
that the War Department. has found
it necessary Gin view of limited ap-
preparations and the difficulty of
training units scattered over wide
areas) to restrict for the present the
organization of colored troops in the
