COLONEL LITTLE EXPOSES MA
TION'S CRUEL PRESCRIPTION
AND GLORIOUS FINAL TRI-
UMPHS OF HE'LL FIGHTERS

The saga of the American Black
Doughboy in the World War has
never been told until now. The grip
ping tragedy Of twelve million loyal
citizens fighting to fight for their
country, while being prosecuted and
prescribed at home. has baffled the
courage or capacity or both of all
those writer's who have sought to tell
the tale of their supreme sacrifices
to make the world safe for democracy.
Colonel Arthur w. Little, former
Commander of 1.-THE He'll Fighters"
New York's famous fighting Fiji
teenth, has done just that thing in
book just now published: "From Har-
lem To The Rhine" Yet the soldier
and mighty pillar in the civic and
economic reconstruction of the new
Harlem since the war has written no
stupendous history of the titanic
struggle, burdened with data, bibliog-
raphy and figures. He has simply
told the facts in the historic volume
finely featured with actual scenes
never before published. The engaging
narrative confines itself to the thrills
of the march of the Harlem Dough-
boys az they volunteered from all
walks of life, till at the Armistice
they had reached Metz, the further
most front Of all allied troops, and
then the wild national acclaim and
decoration and honorable discharge on
their return home.
Colonel Little, who has been pri-
marily responsible for the building of
the great new Fifteenth Armory in
Harlem, breaches no political SER
mons, philosophers nowhere in the
volume on their races rights or rec
ognition, and denounces neither the

official foes nor treacherous marplots
who logged their conquering tracks
from Harlem to the Rhine" Their
trials, tribulations and triumphs are
set down with fine restraint and dis
arming frankness.
For the first time the inside de-
tails Of a disastrous bloody race riot
at the Spartansburg Training Camp,
cunningly provoked by bigoted South
Carolina leaders, and narrowly avert
ed, is barred in. true and revolving de-
tail. The race hysteria gripping Dixie
after the Twenty-fourth Infantry's
shooting up of Houston, Texas, dur
ing these hectic days, for example, is
portrayed between the lines with
danlning indirectness. A hundred SINH
lar situations throughout the He'll
Fighters crusade, of the gore and
glory that attended their ways, are
told. Yet their sharpness is soft
ened and their Illuminating details
are enlivened by the side splitting
dialect and humorous incidents re-
lieving their tenseness and pointing
their own moral.
Tributes are just as engagingly
paid to the native genius of the race
as artisans and artists, paens of
praise for their Christ-like patience
and their valor, and incidentally to
the devotion Of their northern nordic
buddies coming to their rescue in
camp, at home and abroad are thus

ninety days. the families enjoying
free tent in the interval. Vacancies
were located and made available to
every family who desired assistance in
relocating. The Government officials

EDMUND KEAN, the famous
IL actor, it is said, used to fit his
diet to the part he had to play.
He would eat pork for the role of
tyrant, beef for that of murderer,
and mutton for that of lover.
There was just. as much sense tc
this idea as there is to that of per-
sons who still think that what we
eat affects our personality.
Some vegetarians say that meat
eaters have tendency to become
ferocious, while those who abstain
from meat are gentle in tempera-
ment. Others say that meat con-
tains harmful germs. yet most of
us know that meat sold in interstate
commerce is under government con-
troll, and that, when properly. cooked,
it has no harmful germs.
The truth is that meat is an i'm
portant food that is often included
in diets designed to increase weight
or to sustain normal nutrition, par
ticularly for the working man.
Americans eat great amounts OF
meat, consisting mostly of beef,
veal, pork, lamb. fish and fowl. The
muscle meats do not provide many
Of the essential ingredients for a
healthful diet as compared with
glandular organs, such as liver and
kidney. The glandular organs, OF
entrails, contain considerable guam
titles of the important vitamins.

AS HOURS

T IFE is precious But is 1t so precious that one
would want to go through more of what Bruno
Richard Hauptrnann went through Tuesday to gain
48 additional hours Of it?
With shroud tailored head shaved and trousers
slit for the electrodes, the chair tested, the wit
nesses assembled and the hour of execution at
hand the word arrived that there would be another
two days of suspense.
The full measure of agony suffered to the very
minute Of the DEATH agony the total of which
must be thousand times greater than the mere
Jolt of Inconsistencies which is death itself-and
then 48 hours
The kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh
baby has been called the worst Of all crimes.
There is an old saying about making the pun
ishment fit the crime
If ever a punishment seemed to measure up that
which society is nficting on Hauptmann is it.
But recalling some of the recent talk about the
Constitution, about Article One and the right of
free speech and Article -Four and the right against
unwarranted search and seizure, we wonder whether
society in this awful bungling of its right to kill
should not pause and consider that article which
says:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor eX-
cessive fines imposed nor cruel and unusual pun
ishment inflicted"

NO POLITICAL JOB

CELECT the Marion County welfare director on
~ non-political basis according tc competence and
personal fitness for the job.
This is the plea of the Better Government Per-
sonnet Committee of the indianapolis League OF
Women Voters to the County Welfare Board. OBJ
viously the committee expresses the desire of the
citizens of this community.
Whether the new social security law really viii
amount to something depends largely on the per-
sonnet in charge. The Federal and state laws are
only framework
1t would be folly to let political considerations
dictate the appointment of county director. In
many ways, the director is more important than the
welfare board itself, for he will have direct charge
of administering the law Tremendous responsibility
rests upon the board in making a wise selection.

Turning at the veteran organizations she replied: I
don't care what the young people do so long as they
do something to prevent another war"
Most OF us feel that way. The pique of the veter-
ans and the pride of the Army may be aroused.
but that makes no difference What matters is that
there shall be no more war for the United States
The only important thing is that the children now
growing up shall be able to resist whatever kind of
propaganda may assai them in the future
Level-headed individuals who honestly think the
antics OF the youngsters are endangering American

OF rebellion Yet two it seems can play at that game
While juvenile foolishness" is being laughed off bv
adults, adult "fooishness" which certainly includes
the making of war; is being laughed of by juveniles.
May they keep on laughing Humor has killed
innumerable silly movements; it could kill war;
So long as young people see the fraud behind the

they may escape ccnscrption and their nation may
escape humiliation by the simple process OF laugh

youth today is not stupid as its elders have been
about good many things.
The veterans have their adjusted compensation

have done for their country we give them credit
gratitude and glory. We only challenge their right

which stopped their reasoning in 1914

GREENLEE ON M'HALE-ISM

BY d. s. Goble.
The recent release of Mr.. Green
lee on McHale-ism sorta made a
fellow feel little haywire or maybe
like things were going round.
1t is hardly becoming candidate,
whose past should be above sus-
picion, to give fellow the devil for
occupying the house that he had so
entertainingly occupied and from
such recent occupancy, feasts were
spread, favors given and all were
merry as the marriage ball.
But oh, what a difference in the

mayhap wonders if it was dream

dreary night and drizzling rain. Nc

ism was all right. can imagine his

whose bull is getting gored whether
you can take it or not.
They always told me to see Pleas,
there was no use to see McNutt and
so either you did or you didn't. If
you did, it sounds to me quite a lot
like McHale- ism, and if you didn't.
well, it would seem the Greenlee
boys are barking up the wrong tree.
