General Pershilg
Afflicted With
Color Prejudice

NEW YORK, Mar. 11.-Evep Cen
eral John j. Pershing, white, COM
mander-in-chief of the u. s. troops
in the World War, is afflicted with
the superiority complex that be-
lieves colored soldiers must be led
by white officers in order to oper-
ate creditably.
After paying tribute to the
valor of Negro soldiers under fire
and for their cheerfulness, the ex-
pedftionary leader, In the copyright
ed series of articles appearing in the
New York Times and other papers,
had this to say recently:
my service with colored troops
in the army had left favorable
impression in my mind. In the
field, on the frontier and elsewhere,
they were reliable and courageous,
and the old Tenth Cavalry, with
which l served in Cuba, made an
enviable record there"
Speaking further, the general in
ferred that the regiment would not
have made its enviable record had
it not been manned by white Of
ficers. He declares: "Under cap
ficient training, colored troops had
always acquitted themselves credit
ably"
In the same article he explained
that the valor shown by colored
soldiers who had won the Croix de
Guerre was emulated by other col
ored soldiers, but that they were
denied more active service despite
their protestations.

Then the police stopped the show

Oklahoma Women
Charge Hayes With
Social Discourtesy

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. March
11.-Roland Hayes has again gotten
himself in Dutch with the society
leaders of this city which is merely
the ghost of similar misunder-
standing which took place here upon
the occasion of his last visit ten
years ago.
The singer appearing here is a
concert Monday night sponsored by
the City Federation of Women's
Clubs, not only ignored completely
the several arrangements planned
for his entertainment by the society
leaders, but both he and his secre-
tary refused to confer with them
even on business. So bitter did the
situation become that Mrs. Brock
way. president of the federation. de-
clared that were it not for the finan-
cial obligations entailed, the entire
arrangements would have been cam
celled. and the concert called off.
Arrived Early
Hayes and his party, including
Richard P. Parham, accompanist, and
i1oWdIu coTudH, private secretary,
arrived in the city Sunday, and
went to the palatial home of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. d. Lyons. The host is one of
the city's wealthiest citizens, a man.
ufacturer of East Indian Hair prod
ucts.
The committee of arrangements
did not know that Hayes was in the
city until informed by Mrs. Lyons
over the phone. Other arrangements
had been made by the women spon-
soring the affair.
When Mrs. Brockway requested
the secretary of Mr.. Hayes to confer
with her at the Community House,
regarding the social angle of the
visit, Jordan refused to enter the
house, but consented to speak with
her only from his taxicab. Hayes
completely ignored their request for
an interview.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lyons, who had also
entertained Congressman DePriest
upon his visit here, wired Hayes at
Shreveport to be their guest. He ac-
cepted the invitation.
Hayes referred all matters per-
tanning to the concert and social
angles to his white manager, who
was stopping at the Huckins Hotel,
where Negroes are barred.
