The world moves so fast that none

This is what makes life a great

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas! The stores are
crowded with buyers. Happy throngs
jam the streets in the downtown shop
ping district. Merchants report an
exceptionally large volume of holiday
trade. Families are busily engaged
in home decorations, wrapping up the
last of the gifts, hanging wreaths,
trimming trees. Soon thousands of
windows will be all aglow with the
CHEEKY Yuletide lights. Merry Christ
masl
The Christmas attitude never dies.
In England not even the ravages of
war could stife it. In America there
is no diminution in the warmth of holi-
day rejoicing despite the menace of
aggression, against which we have
been compelled to take arms. One may
say that it illustrates the resilient
quality of the human spirit or else the
firmness with which the Christmas
custom is rooted in the heart of man
kind through centuries of observance.

Continued from Page y

coined our soldiers.
So there went your Colored ODD
Division.
In ArgOnne
The first (1918) 372nd Infantry was
composed of separate units. There
were separate battalions from Ohio,
and Washington, D. c.; and separate
companies from as far south as Ten
nessee. Company L of the Mass.
Sixth Regiment represented this state
and there was company from Con-
necticut.
Organized at Newport News, Va,
the unit sailed for France on March
80, 1918, on a German freighter APP
propriately named Originality the
rhine"
The following May the 372nd was
reviewed by Gen. John j. Pershing,
commander Of the A. E. F. on French
soil and the same month the unit
moved up to the front. In June, now
definitely part of the French 18TH
the 372nd moved into the now almost
Legendary Argonne Forest and con-
tinued on thru the Meuse, the Cham
pagn, Verdun, Vosges, and other sec
tors, winning many French citations
for bravery. The 372nd was "at the
front" for more than six months!
And this is an answer to those skep.
tics who never believed the ColoreC
American would serve successfully
against the German Army.
The Germans were glad when they
sailed home in Feb. 1919.

FORMER BOSTONIAN MAKES A
SUGGESTION

To the Editor of The Guardian:
Reading your column on my sisters
visit to Boston surely did bring back
old times. There was another inter
esting article in that issue-the one
about Tanners paintings. And here
is a suggestion: Tanner painted a
picture of his mother, a marvellous
bit of work, an inspiration to any
race that holds the name and person
ality of mother and motherhood in high
esteem. It is just as fine a piece of art
as Whistler's painting of his mother.
A reproduction of Tanners portrait of
his mother should be in the home of
every Colored-American to serve as
an inspiration to higher and better
things; and also in every church and
civic organization of colored Ameri-
cans. New York.
