The Mess Line

While most of us can't see the
woods for the trees, it is fact that
the u. S. is making feverish prepara-
tions for some important eventuality.
Not only the constant appeal for
money to be used for the purpose of
armament, but the unusual spread in
the demand for man power, is more
and more reminiscent of 1916. Flying
fields throughout the country are be-
ing filled with new recruits.
Confidential reports and instruc-
tions to members of our organized re-
serves are flying thick and fast.
At the same time, members of those
same reserves are more and more re-
luctant to discuss military matters.
Negroes as usual, are waiting for
something to happen, and then will
no doubt raise the same old cry of
discrimination when they are not let
in on the glory and honor stuff.
As a group we are better prepared
for service than ever before, and the
attitude toward the acceptance of that
service, is far more liberal than it was
twenty years ago.
For instance in the flying segment,
no one has any illusions about the ac-
ceptance of Negroes as aviators, al
though Julian Black was Ethiopia's S
one man armada, and did very well
against the baby killers of Mussolini,
having brought down several barbarian
planes.
Now just suppose the Negro branch
of the American Legion, an organi-
cation that stands for both square deal
and adequate defense squawked for en-
listment of mechanics in the aviation
corps.
The proficiency of SO many of our
boys in this field, would eventually
force some of them in the air.
In the aerial defense branch, we
could certainly handle anti-aircraft
guns like they were made to order for
us.
This young generation has plenty OF
mathematicians among them, and in
spite of the handicaps, the old fossils
have put on them, no one can deny
that they have the necessary CUTS.
There is indeed large opportunities
for expansion, that would reflect credit
for generations to come, if these bread
and butter leaders throughout the
country could forget fifteen cents and
a bowl of soup long enough to TRY
to do something for the ones who look
to them for guidance.

5000 ITALIANS SLAIN BY ETH
OPIANS IN GUERILLA
WARFARE

LONDON, Feb, (Cna)-More than
5000 Italians and Askaris have been
killed in fighting in Ethiopia during
the past two months, the Ethiopian
Legation announced in a statement
this week.
The Legation, which represents the
government of Emperor Halle Selas-
sic, declared that Ethiopian resistance
to Italian forces was continuing with
renewed vigor.
The statement detailed the Italian
dead as eleven senior officers, five
junior officers and 5,993 men. One
senior officer was made prisoner, ac-
cording to the statement, and eighty
three wounded were picked up. 1t
further declared that three battalians
of Eritreans and "a number of Italians
had deserted to the Ethiopians in the
northern regions"
italian staff officers are in despair"
the statement adds, and there is gener-
al discomfort among those compelled
to remain in Ethiopia"
The Legation also told of massa-
ere of eighteen Italian officers at De
bra Marks, in Gojjam Province, be-
cause of "non-observance of certain
conditions" by the fascist invaders.
Efforts in Italian quarters to dis
count the legations statement were
fruitless in the face of reports from
Jibuti, French Somaliland recently, as
well as the news that 1000 Italian
troops left Naples Saturday for Ethi-
opia
The statement is further substanti-
ated by recent article i'll the official
journal of Italy's armed forces, Fore
Armate". The Journal admits that in
cidents have occurred during the
great rains" and that "the air force
performed warlike' operations.
