You have not made black men lose
faith in themselves, their soldiers, or
officers. You have not even made
them lose faith in all their white
friends. You have simply shown both
to us, and all fair-minded whites, how
much must be done to overcome such
policies Of hate and injustice before
any of us can have real advancement
Is it not rather for us to be dedi-
Gated to the great task remaining Be-

which they gave the last full measure

Rarecourt certi6es that the Three
Hundred and Seventeen Regiment,
United States Infantry, billeted in this
village, has departed, leaving the ma
terial Of the cantonment in perfect or
der, and joins the civilian population
in thanking the regiment for its proper
sanitation and other activities in pre-
serving the good upkeep of the can
torment.
"Fouch, Mayor des Cantonment."
AT Serquex, Haul Marine, the entire
civilian population, headed by the
mayor, turned out to bid the troops
farewell upon their departure for the
front lines, loading them with gifts
and benedictions, because of the pleas
ure derived during their stay. The
experience Of this regiment, the Three
Hundred and Sixty-fifth, was dupli-
Gated throughout the division. The re-
lationship between the troops and
civilians was always most pleasant.
Occasional exceptions to this being in
centers recently occupied by some of
our southern troops, and to their
credit it may be said that the French
in these places after our stay of few
weeks reversed their attitude COM
pletely and soon became most cordial
in their welcome to US.
Now, let US turn to the charge of
pursuit of French women. It is what
our white high command had in mind
when he issued this order:
General Orders, No. 40, A. P. O.,
1867
Headquarters Ninety-second Division,
American Expeditionary Forces,
December 20, 1918.
5. 1t is expected that local military
police detachment will be stationed in
every town billeted by organizations
of this division. The especial
duties with which the military police
and sentinels are charged are:
e. To prevent enlisted men from
addressing or holding conversation
with the women inhabitants of the
town.
G. K. Wilson, Chief Of Staff.
By command of Brigadier General
Erwin:
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1926-04-10

order that this country may reach its
place of destiny, and we believe that
after this answer to the gross lie upon
US that there will be a more deter
mined effort on the part of those who
are in power to see that we carry on
and throttle the efforts OF those who,
like Billiard, would lead us into racial
disharmony and distrust.
And SO, my friends, you have not
only a complete defense and indorse-
ment of the black American troops in
France-you now have the record.
Our objective was not to solve race
problem but help to win war You
have read the efforts that we made in
this direction. This, despite the fact
that we knew of the treachery of our
white officers at our rear This, de-
spite the fact that during our final
offensive there were dispatches from
our home papers telling of how a
white mob 6 miles from Albany, Ga,
had disembowled an eight months
pregnant black woman, and one of the
mob had crushed the head Of her
child, delivered by this abdominal
section, with his heel when the inno-
cent wait cried out showing its viabil-
ity.
Sensual Yes; the black man is
more sensual than the white. Four
million mulattoes, quadroons, and oc-
toroons of the South today bear emf
nent testimony of their fathers SEN
suality. Whose women, General,
does this ravishment represent?
Surely black men are not responsible
for this. Beware, sir, or you indict
yourself before the civilized world not
only as misanthrope but also a buff
foon, raised too suddenly to giddy
heights of power.
Let us remember that with the
whole civilized world laughing at
America because of her difficulties over
her race problem, because Of the
malice and envy of the nations, be-
cause of our wealth and so-called iso-
lation, we feel that all races and creeds.
all colors and religions shall close
ranks.
Quit hypocracy. Make the Golden
Rule mean living axiom and not a
jumbling mouthful for our Pharisees
to quote; make Christianity a living
epitome of the principles of life and
we will forget our recriminations and
faultfndings will cease destruction
and begin construction; so that this
great country may realize that high
destiny that was forecast for it when
the principles laid down in the Dec
laration of Independence and in the
| preamble OF our Constitution were
written stating "All men are, and Of a
right ought to be, created equal"
And rededicated at Gettysburg, in
these immortal words of Lincoln:
"Now we are engaged in a great Civil
War testing whether that nations or
any nation so conceived and so dedi-
Gated can long endure" And surely
that paragraph from this same master
piece answers the general when it
says "The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here have consecrated
it far above our power to add or de-
tract"

hood was established between your
soldiers and our people, who were
glad to welcome the gallant allies Of
our France.
Having learned to know them, the
whole population holds them in great
esteem, and we all join in saying the
best of them.
Il hope that the white troops re-
placing your regiment will give US
equal satisfaction, but, whatever their
attitude may be, they can not surpass
your Three Hundred and Forty-ninth
Field Artillery.
please accept the assurance Of my
best and most distinguished feelings. -
de Font-Reaulx,
Assistant Mayor"
Charges Of Rape
AS to the charges of rape, we will
quote directly the statement of the
Judge advocate, Maj. "A. E. Patterson:
Instead OF so alleged cases Of rape,
as stated by General Billiard, there
were only 1o charges of criminal as
sault. OF these 19, 10 were un-
founded; of the other remaining
only were of a suspicious nature or
of such feeble nature that they would
have passed unnoticed were the Of
tenders not colored. There were two
serious attempts and two convictions
one of the latter, and only one, by
a member Of the Ninety-second Divi-
sion, the other man being from labor
battalion within the area of the
Ninety-second Division"
This may be confirmed not by per
sonal impressions and prejudices but
by the records of the War Depart
ment. Ninety-6ve per cent of the
officers trying these cases were white.
Had the charges been true in greater
number than stated, it is only reason
able to believe there would have been
more convictions.
We challenge any division Of the
American Expeditionary Forces to
show a better record in this respect.
In conclusion, the indictment drawn
by General Billiard on his personal
opinions (and prejudices) seems to
contain the following major account.
First. That their officers (colored)
failed in battle, being inefficient and
cowardly.
Second. That the black troops were
incapable Of assimilating tactics OF
modern warfare, and also inferior.
Third. That they were sensualists
and rapists.
We believe that in our presentation
of the facts gathered from the records
of the white officers and from the
United States War Department, we
have answered every charge and
shown them to be the twisted and dis
torted prejudices of a senile and pa
retic mind, which just before the last
flicker of light went out from a mis-
anthropic life has endeavored to be-
smirch the bravery and valor of the
living and the honor of the dead.
We believe that he has offended the
sense of equity and decency of all
fair minded whites as we'll as outrag-
ing the pride of 100000 Negroes.
We realize the fight that must be
made for better race relationship in
