This is every Americans emer-

There is nothing exclusive about
it. There is nothing exclusive a.
bout the war that is flaming in
three continents. Let me remind
you that an aerial bomb draws no
color line.
On June 18th President Roose-

courage full participation in the

more than 400 commissioned offic-

Washington with Is delegates,
Philadelphia with 10, and other
large metropolitan centers along
the seaboard and through New
England with impressive and ac-
tive memberships are going to
participate in the discussions and
clinics on nursing subjects.
Of outstanding importance this
year, Mrs. Staupers said, will be
the role Of Negro nurses in the
present defense preparations of
the country. Tremendous emph-
asis will be put On the necessity
of not only full participation" she
declared, 'but also for full inte-
grafton. We feel that this battle
is not only of any one segment Of
the many peoples who make up A

who make America their homes.

hundred yds of heavy machinegrm
fire to deliver an urgent message
to his commanding officer; such
courage as impelled Private Arth--
ur Johnson, struck by a shell frag
ment, to carry a more grievously
wounded comrade a mile on his
back to a first aid station; such
courage as led Private Bruce
Stoney two hundred yards out in
to No Mans Land under heavy

lying there; such courage as drew
Corporal Sandy Jones, company
clerk up to the front line when he
learned that all his officers had
become casualties, where he took
command of the scattered elements
Of his unit and reorganized them.
Each of these is an authentic in
stance of officially recorded valor
by a Negro soldier. They have
been chosen at random from the
list of awards of the Distinguished
Service Cross during the World
War, and there are many more.
There are less spectacular, but
as genuine, examples of courage
today. Sergeant Samuel F. Bak
er, stationed at Fort Huachuca,
Arizona, kept a fire hose playing
on drums bullying with hot oil
and ready to explode, during a re-
cent fire at that post. He APP
preached within fifteen feet of
the death laden containers and
stood his ground despite the dang
er and the raging heat until he
brought the fire under control.
For this gallant exploit he receiv'd
the Soldiers Medal. Private Rob
ert Mobley, stationed at Fort
Leonard Wood, Missouri, swan
out into deep water Of Big Piney
River to rescue a comrade from
drowning, and for this feat his
commanding officer has recomm-
ended him for the Soldiers Medal.
Negro soldiers are making fine

It is my privilege this evening

eral Pershing, who will celebrate
his eighty first birthday next
month, but who still puts the safe
ty and securit of his country be-
fore everything else and who may
well be called the father of Nat
ional defense.
General Pershing writes:
II am pleased to state that my
own experience with Negro troops
has left me a favorable impression
Of their soldierly qualities and eff
ficiency. The old 10th Calvary,
a colored regiment with which /
served in Cuba, acquitted itself
with distinction, and our colorod
troops in France during the World
War gave a good account of them
selves and contributed to the sue
cess of the AEF. The following
extract from a cablegram I sent
the War Department in June, 1918
testifies to the splendid spirit
found prevalent among them:
Exploit of two colored infan-
trymen some weeks ago in repell-
ing much larger German patrol,
killing and wounding several Ger
mans and whining Croix de Guerre
by their gallantry, has reused fine
spirit Of emulation among the col
ored troops, all of whom are look
ing forward to more active serv-
ice. Only regret expressed by
colored troops is that they are not
given more dangeous work to do"
There speaks an American sold
Ter who knows American soldiers.
And tonight all America salutes

which he is SO effectively and 50
