Elijah Willis had been in Cana
ia but short time before he was
once more on this side of the river.
His mission this time was similar
to the one which caused him 10
cross over two years previously
with John Brown. War had been
declared between the North and
the South. and Abraham Lincoln
was calling for volunteers. He felt
that this call was directed TO the
Negroes as well as the whites. Act
ing upon this assumption, he got in
touch with Mrs Mary Schadd Car
~ and Greenberry Hodge. and
these three organized the first
group OF colored men in the state
OF Michigan under the banner of
First Michigan Colored Volunteers.
These troops were rendered TO
President Lincoln, but were refus-
ed. because Lincoln did not. at that
time. deem it wise to use Negro
soldiers. 1t was not until 1863 that
these men were called i'm the coll
ors and enrolled in the 102nd Unit
ed States Regular Army.

do not censure him, | pity him
and charge the whole affair TO the
institution of slavery. Nor is il
fair to place the blame upon the
shoulders of any specific group for
the introduction of slavery into
this country. In the latter part of
the sixteenth century many tribal
wars were being waged all over
Africa. and the conquering tribes
sold the vanquished ones to the
Arabs. The Arabes. who for cen
turtles have been the slave traders
of that dark continent. in turn
sold the slaves to the highest bid

creed. Thus we observe that the
darker races have assisted I'm

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. = The erstwhile fantastic dreams of ocean air travel by means of man-made islands achieved the basis of reality yesterday with the announcement the Department of Commerce plans to build one island and perhaps five in an effort to speed trans Atlantic air travel.
 The Public Works Administra- tion has allotted $1,500,O00 to the Aeronautic Division of the Depart ment of Commerce to erect the first island about 500 miles off the coast as an experiment. If this is successful, the island will be the first stopping place in the Government-own and controlled air route to Spain.
