WHEN Lieut.. Leigh Wade, famous
w United States Navy hier, decided
to attempt feat never before success
fully performed-namely, crossing the
continent from Los Angeles to New

of his car stop turning he realized
that in large measure his success

He could not afford to put any but

Negroes were great disappoint-
ment. y "The French had had
like experience with their Negro
troops in their front line trenches
against the enemy. The Negro, 1t
seems, cannot stand bombardment
|. !" ''The poor END Negroes vast
ed time and dawdled where they did
attack and in some places where they
should have attacked, never budged
at all. 1t seems to be as much the
fault of the general as of the Ne
groes. - 1.-TWO days ago and again
yesterday the 92nd division would not
fight, couldn't be made to attack in
any effective sense. The general who
commands them can't make them
fight"
And then it appears that when the
armistice came, the white officers
were very much afraid of what the
Negro soldiers were going to do to
the poor, helpless white women Of
France. All the superstitious vitu-
peration of the feebIe-minded south
ern village Negro-hater was poured
out by the general in the effort to get
the French to hate and fear the Anne
rican Negro troops. He pompously
notified General Foch that "no man
could be responsible for the acts of
these Negroes toward French women,
and that he had better send this di-
vision home at once" Billiard accuses
these vigorous black men" of having
raped French women, and is sure that
the Negro man is far more offensive
to white women than a white man isl
(Are all men offensive to women,
general? Indeed, what gentleman
you areD
The general closes this series of
Negro-baiting in the Chicago Tribune
Republican organD with the admoni-
ton that 'it will always be so with
Negroes wherever they are in contact
with whites. If you need COM
bat soldiers, and especially II you
need them in hurry, don't put your
time upon Negroes"
While reading this stuff, we can't
help thinking about some past his
tory, and about some present news
from all quarters of the world. We
remember the struggles of the Ne
groes for their freedom in America
something like forty heroic slave re-
volts against desperate odds in this
country before the American Civil
War, and again of the undeniable but
often obscured fact of the heroic role
that was played by the black troops
in turning the tide Of battle and saw
ing this American capitalist republic
from General Billiards. ancestors of
the slave oligarchy in 1865. We re-
member how the puny New York
weakling, playing cowboy" in Cuba,
Theodore Roosevelt, was saved by
Negro troops after the white troops
could not stand the fire; and how this
fact was covered up in order to make
Roosevelt an artificial hero for the
benefit eff the Morgan bank which
needed him in public office.
lITTE are suddenly reminded of the
| w flood of renewed Negro batting
which the capitalist society has turn
ed loose since the world war. It Is
increasing. not diminishing. We are
thinking of the twenty-seven mem
bers Of the gath (Negro) infantry who
are now suffering in the q. 8. prison
at Leayenworth-and the other men
who were hanged-for the crime of
defending Negro woman from be-
ing beaten by a policemen in Hous-
ton, Texas, IN 1919.
Then we think OF the fact which
every Negro knows, that In every
segregated, Jim-crowed Negro resi-

as a soldier" says the modest gen.
eral, he was particularly interested
when he was put in charge of the
92nd (Negro) division in the world
war. Having passed pleasant boy
hood and having had this satisfactory
experience in my earlier life with
Negroes, l found myself with most
kindly feelings toward them and my
interest was stirred now in France
by finding this Negro division in my
new army. 1 felt some doubt how
ever, for the success in war of Ne
gro command as great as division"
It seems that nearly all of the Off
GERS of the division were white and
of the regular army. And then there
were some Negro officers who, much
to the chagrin of the white gentle
men, had slipped thru the lines of dis
elimination. The white officers Of
course, were determined that no
damned niggers should be on the
same plane with them, but the army
regulations required that all officers
should be treated as such. The gen.
eral writes that he remembered how
our government seemed to expect the
same of them (the Negroes) as of the
white men, or at least placed them
in positions that so indicated; how
politics had consistently forced for
them the same treatment as white
men when they were very different;
how they themselves insisted upon
such treatment; how surely, notwith-
standing all this, if the same treat
ment were given black as white, it
would cause trouble for him who
should deal it out; how, finally, the
politics Of our country had forced
the formation of this Negro division
contrary to experience"
The general proceeds to explain:
"All this constructive equality l re-
garded as an injustice; it is not real"
So the general inquired into the mat
ter, and of course, he found that in
the battle of the Meuse-Argonne a
part of the, 92nd division, beside the
French in battle, had twice run
away from the front of the enemy.
causing the French, for their own
safety, to request the relief Of the
Negro division from the fighting line"
The general says that 80 Negro
officers were involved in this run
ming away" Five Negro officers,
writes he, who were "the clearest
cases and supposed leaders Of the
movement-only five, had been select
ed for trial by the law officers of
the End army" "a court martial,
composed of officers from another, a
white division" had been selected to
try the Negro officers, and zone Ne
gro officer had been tried, convicted,
and sentenced to death"
But, of course, no one but south
ern gentleman like the good General
Robert Lee Billiard could understand
niggers, and the kindly fellow step
ped in and twisted the military regu-
lations to let the poor Negro escape
death.
Lies About Negroes

GENERAL ROBERT L. BULLARD.
~ who was commander Of the Sec
ond Army of the American expedition
airy forces in France, has written a
book which reveals with clumsy bru-
tality an old and sore secret Of the
American army.
The secret is one that ought to be
blazoned now in every town and viii
lage-and especially every "black
belt" of the United States. The Sc
cret is that the commanders and off
GERS generally Of the United States
army in France practically made war
against the American Negro troops
under their command; that the white
officers committed every possible bru-
tality against the Negro soldiers, sac
riflced them heartlessly at every OPP
portunity, led them into traps for
the purpose of discrediting the Ne
groes, and, in short, deliberately
handled their black soldiers for the
purpose of preserving the traditional
lie Of Negro "inferiority."
1t might have been expected that
Gen. Robert Lee Billiard would be
exactly the fool to let the cat out
Of the bag.

pOrCunlty, led them into traps Tor
the purpose of discrediting the Ne
groes, and, in short, deliberately
handled their black soldiers for the
purpose of preserving the traditional
lie Of Negro ''inferiority."
1t might have been expected that
Gen. Robert Lee Billiard would be
exactly the fool to let the cat out
Of the bag.
WHO is Bullard'
The records show that he was born
in Alabama in the first year of the
American Civil War of 1861. His name
tells us that his fond parents christ
ened him after the chief butcher of
the Southern slave oligarchy-Gen.
Robert e. Lee. And his present book,
which has just been completed in
serial publication in the Chicago Tri-
bune, copyrighted by Doubleday,
Page & Coz, shows us that Billiard
is one of those swashbuckling mill
tarists for whom the old slave oil
garchy still stands as living ideal.
But the book and other evidence,
and memories of Negro soldiers, show
that Bullard. the militarist of the old
South, was not out of his element in
szthe american army of 1918. In fact,
ethesattituderof the, dominant class of
this country today is similar to the at
titude of the slave oligarchy of the
cos as far as the Negro is concerned.
The fact is that the Negro masses
are a hated enemy to the American
bourgeoisie, and nowhere is 1t better
shown than in the U. S. army.
General Bullard had in his COM
mand the 92nd division, consisting of
$1,000 Negro conscripts for "democ-
racy." His hatred of the Negro caus-
ed him first to use every device to
discredit his own black troops, and
then to proclaim to the world that
they were towards"
The general shows his own highly
civilized and humane character In
queer ways. He boasts like an under
developed child of the medals he re-
ceived on his own manly breast, and
his great military sagacity which
caused him time after time to ode
cide' to do many brilliant things just
before Gen. Pershing commanded him
to do exactly the thing he had already
decided to do.
Confesses to Crime of Numbering
Prisoners.
A FTER speaking like a monograph
"A of the "barbarous, brutal Ger
MANS" the general exposes himself
in a passage that must go down in
history as a virtual confession Of one
of the most beastly crimes known to
military annals-the murder Of pris-
oners Of war. The peculiar psyche
pathic Southern" mind Of the gener-
al makes him resort to the expedient
Of attributing the direct murder Of
the German prisoners to "niggers"-
that is to the French African troops
for "niggers' always, of course, are
the embodiment of cruelty. But he Is
himself so full of the delight Of blood
lust that he boasts OF the whispered
rumors that his own American ard
corps loaned the Moroccans some
German prisoners" after explaining
that the Moroccan troops "were in
the habit OF giving no quarter in bat
tle."
American Negroes are towards, Says
General.
