freshments were enjoyed by members
of the Aztec club of girl reserves FRI

Whose mint the smell inspire
The Savior's rising day shall loom

Did bring forth in a hangers coil
The babe of Bethlehem;

Be sung Of Calvary,

And mighty tragedy
Proves man shall truly live again
In proved reality.

Has robbed the grave of victory
And plucked from death his sting.

In submitting the correspondence,
Mr.. Harris commented on it as fol-
lows in his letter to the President:
I'VE respectfully call your attention
Mr. President, to this unconstitutional
and dangerous color-line exclusion of
colored youths from the citizens mil
itary training camp. We respectfully
call your attention as Commander-in-
Chief of the army and navy to the dec
laration of Colonel Fleet, barring
Burnell because Burnell is colored
No more outrageous discrimination
has ever been practiced against col
ored citizen by any southern state
than the United States Army is pro-
claiming as its practice in the matter
of colored youths ambitious for mil
itary training.
THE blunt language of Colonel
Fleets ban against them savors of the
prescription Of the Confederacy as ex-
pressed by Judge fancy in the bred
Scott decision rather than that of a
commanding officer of the United
States Army in the twentieth century.
We need not go into the injustice and
discrimination laid out in the relief
SO inhumanely offered by Colonel
Fleet.
"Bluntly he states: We are not
permitted to accept colored men in
the G. M. T. Camp in this area" He
makes this insult to colored youths in
saying: There will be camps for col
ored young men in southern cities,
and of course you are eligible to at
tend, although it will not be possible
to pay your way the entire distance
from New York to the camp. | sug-
gest that you send your application
to the G. M. t. c. officer, Fourth
Corps Area, Red Rock building, At
lanta, Ga
Calls 1t an Outrage
White youths must attend when &C
cepted training in their own area.
Their transportation is paid, as is their
maintenance. For colored boys in the
northern states to be forced to 60 for
training to the south at their own ex-
pense and under racial conditions that
obtain in Dixie, is to deny them train
ing. This is insult added to injustice.
For the United States Army to
/ draw this color line against colored
boys anywhere IS not only hideous
outrage, but wantonly unjust. The
nation is putting rancors in the yes
sells Of its peace when it proclaims
this monstrous policy against the COM
ing colored generation. We can say
to the nation very frankly that this
they will not stand for. The white
world is on the verge of war with the
colored world. America has not a
friend among any Of the colored races
| in Africa, Asia or America due to this
very color line prescription and perse-
cution.
Surely the United States will moi
expect her own colored citizens tc
fight against those colored races In
the event of war with China or Japar
or Mexico or Nicaragua or Hattie

foreign countries that it now oficiaIl.

Planned Camps for Negroes

According to a Washington dis
patch, officials Of the War Department
said it had been arranged to establish
training camp for negroes in each
corps area if minimum of fifty quail
fed men applied for admission. That
number has not qualified in the Sec
ond or New York Corps Area.
Burnell asserted that, on being re-
jected, he was advised to apply for adj
mission to the Citizens Training
Camp at Atlanta. Such advice would
be misleading, it was said at the War
Department, as no arrangements have
been made for training negro appli-
cants at the camp.
The complaint to the President was
based on the following letter which
was received by Burnett:
March IL, 1927.
Marsden v. Burnell,
137 Edgecombe Avenue,
New York City.
Dear Sir: Your application is being
returned.
We are not permitted to accept col
ored young men in the G. M. I. camps
in this area. The same army regula-
tons as apply to enlistment in the army
govern acceptance at a c. M. I.
camp; that is, colored men must
enlist in colored regiments. There
will be camps for colored young
men in southern states and Of
course, you are eligible to attend,
although it will not be possible to pay
your way the entire distance from
New York to the camps.
I suggest that you send your appli-
cation to the c. M. T. officer Fourth

THE HATED TRUTH.
From The Baltimore Evening Sun.

Men Go not desire the truth. They
never have desired the truth. 1T is not
possible that they ever will desire the
truth,
Because men live and die in error the
truth is ever an assault on the beliefs
and faiths Of the time. and therefore an
assault on vanity.
When the first Of moderns began to
STUDY the heavens through a glass and
to proclaim the truth he discovered be
lighted a fire under bis feet. The world
did not desire truth. 1t desired only that
its complacent ignorance be letr undis-
iurbed. Before a man can learn be must
Iy inference confess that be is ignorant.
1t is vanity that stands in the way of
progress.
The Indiana Supreme Court, uphold
ing a conviction for contempt, asserts
that the truth is no defense
1t is a tenet dear 10 English law.
The greater the truth the greater the
libel To a man of reason the dogma
will seem absurd, ye5 this same man
will train bis children to accept it and
punish them if they do not.
