Sgt. William Ancrum who last week
celebrated his 18th birthday, served
80 years in the 10th Cavalry, U. S.
Army and after his retirement in 1914
he spent Is years more in Civil Service
in the Adjutant General Department.
Still hale and hearty, Sgt. Ancrum
celebrated his nearly four-score years
in company with a few friends. Born
in 1862 in Orangeburg, S. c., he left
there in 1881 and went to st. Louis
where he worked as a stevedore until
1886 when he enlisted in the 10th
Cavalry.
He was at Fl. Apache, Arizona
when the Indian "War" led by Zero
nimo and Sitting Bull broke out and
served all through that campaign
during which Geronimo was captured
and Sitting Bull slain. Next he was
stationed at Fl. Assiniboine, Montana
and in 1898 his troop was brigaded
with Roosevelt's Rough Riders and
sailed for Cuba where they fought at
San Juan Hill in the Spanish-Ameri-
can War.
Following the close of the Spanish
American War the 10th Cavalry was
sent back to Cuba in the army of occu-
patton and later was transferred in
1907 to the Philippine Islands in an
army of occupation for two years
service. Returning from the Islands
in 1909 the 10th Cavalry was stationed
at Fl. Ethan Allen, VT, for four years,
and next at Fl. Huachuca, Arizona at
which place Sgt. Ancrum was placed
on the retired list in March, 1914, as
first sergeant.
Since that time he has been in
Boston, employed for 18 years in the
Adjutant General Department, at the
Army Base, South Boston. He now
resides at Is Yarmouth Street.
Married Miss Alice Watson of Hot
Springs, Va. by Rev. B. W. Swain,
former pastor of Columbus AM.E.
Zion Church, Sgt. Ancrum was
widowed by her death in June, 1898.
Sgt. Ancrum is enthusiastic in
praise of army training and believes
it to be among the best available for
colored youth. He attributes his
splendid physical condition to his mill
tary training and the outdoor life of
the regular army soldier Although
in active service in the fights with In
dians out West and in the Spanish
American War, he didn't receive "a
scratch" 81 was among the lucky
ones," he says, "Many of our COM
rades were killed or wounded at San

PRESIDENT RANDOLPH

A. Philip Randolph is president of
the international Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters, an affiliate of
the A. F. L. Antagonist exists be-
tween the ALL. of which William
Green is president and the CLIO,
headed by John L. Lewis. The Ma
tional Colored Congress at its Wash
lngton session was overwhelmingly
partial to the CLIO. 1t is a fair in
ference that from these facts and
their implications emanate the essen
tlal reasons for Mr.. Randolph's refusal
to stand for reelection to the presi-
dency of the Congress which he has
ably served since it was organized five
years ago.
But his attitude toward a limited
membership on the basis of color and
race is not so easy to defend. His
proposal for organizations of Colored
people to stand by themselves when
confronted by enemies who are unified
and who do not scruple to make use of
colored traitors is Impractical. In
fact, the racialist line which he advo-
Gates is never put into operation with
out active assistance from the most
reactionary elements in society. col
iective as well as Individual, always
anxious to divide the common people
OF America, black and white, in order

ness.

Former Depriest Garage
Owner in
New, Going Business

Next door to Masonic Temple on
fremont Street is a beautiful modern
istic service station. In size, convent
ences, facilities, bright lively appear
ance it compares well with the most
modern service stations to be seen any
where. But the most interesting fea-
ture is that this particular service sta
ton, known as ThompsOn's Atlantic
Service Station, is operated by all col
ored managership and staff.
H. M. Thompson, proprietor, was
recently the owner and manager of De
Priest Garage on Northampton St.,
familiar to many in-town and out-of-
town truck and car owners. Mr.
Thompson is enthusiastic over the vel
come and reception which the public
has accorded his new business which is
located at l105 fremont st. next door
to Masonic Temple. He says his sta
ton is the "only colored station of its
type in New England
The station provides all the services
of the modern service station, including
tire repairs, washing, fabrication, rem
tai batteries and places emphasis upon
prompt and courteous service by ex-
perienced colored attendants. That the
service and prices are widely appre-
ciated is demonstrated by the large
public patronage seen any day at the
station.
