certain Indians were "worse scared
than hurt, seeing a blackamore in the
top of tree looking out for the way
which he had lost. ." So, dozen years
after the arrival of the famous May
fiower-and many years before the
other and more populous boats arrived
with their larger numbers of the
Massachusetts,, and they had been here
long enough to be going somewhere
and to lose their ways in getting there.
If this imam in the tree" was a slave
and we think he was-he may have
come up from the Caribbean MANY
years before; more, since slaves were
usually kept in numbers, he was prob
ably ONE OF MANY colored men and
possibly women in Massachusetts.
Very shortly thereafter, for additional
proof, we find the Maverick plantation
in Boston fairly Uttered with slaves;
in 1888 we find an early reference to
that most prevalent New England
traffic, the slave trade. "Mr. Pierce, in
the Salem Ship, the Desire, returned
from the West Indies after seven
months. He had been at Providence,
and brought some cotton, tobacco and
Negroes etc, from thence. ;"
SO you were here as early as anyone
else.

OSWEGE, N. Y.-(C)-Fourteen
soldiers of Harlem's 369th Regiment,
which had just arrived here last We'd
nesday for its year of active service,
suffered severe burns when fire caused
by a boiler explosion swept through
the one-story wooden building which
served as headquarters for the Regi-
ment.
The fire quickly covered the middle
wing of the building causing several
thousand rounds of ammunition to ex-
plode and destroying most of the regi-
mental records. Firemen from the
Oswego department joined with the
soldiers to fight the flames, but it
wasn't until 90 minutes r, that the
blaze was extinguished.
Most seriously injured was private
Benjamin Freeman who suffered burns
and possible internal injuries. Four
other soldiers were taken to the post
hospital, overcome by smoke. They
were Sgt. Nevil Martin, Privates
Joseph Thompson, William Green and
Harold Jones.

other film for the scheduled showing of
''The Birth of a Nation, to which

"This film has done more to stir up
race hatred against colored people, to
create sectional bitterness and to pre-

said Walter White secretary of the

There are several very popular falla-

IN Massachusetts, about which some
long-overdue establishment is prob

One of the chief of these, of course,
is the general tendency to group the
colored man with others when talking
of "outsiders", of leaving him out of
the conversation when it mentions the
"bluebloods" of the Commonwealth;
those who came over on the Mayfower.
Forget it; you can almost truthfully
answer such foolishness with the
patent truth that while your ancestors
