shall have been done, they will share
IN the democracy about which so
much has been said and SO little
done,-for them.
Now white Europeans in Africa
are urging the arming Of native
Africans and have them defend their
own country. The corollary of this
must be liberty for the Africans
themselves. 1t means the Franch-
Use, representation in the parlia-
ments, economic freedom and equal
ity. In short, the end of an era Of
exploitation and cruelty and wrong.
These subjects have been debat-
ed in recent weeks in study clubs
and on radio programs. More will
be said about Africa and Africans
as time goes on. The Africans Will
watch the conduct Of the United
States toward the Negro population.
The wisdom and justice with which
that is handled will have much to do
with the success of our approach to
the Africans.

Sent overseas in April, 1918, the

brigaded with the French armies as
four separate infantry regiments.
AS such, these four regiments serv-
ed throughout the war since the OF
portuity to reassemble them as an
American division never presented
itself.
All four regiments participated n
front line action from July, 1918,
until the Armistice, and were highly
praised by the French military lead
ers for their conduct under fire. For
their valorous action as integral
parts of the French armies, these
colored troops received many decor.

ative of the major actions particip-

battle record, 2,5S3 casualties, Of
which STA were killed and 1908

the old 93rd Division was 1t. George

remained on duty throughout rne
day and night, Inspecting lines and
establishing outposts. Early the next
morning he again was wounded, and
later that day was struck by frag-
ments of bursting shell that killed
three officers of his company. He
assumed command and took a lead
ing part in preparing the new posi-
ton for defense. Displaying re-
markable courage and tenacity at
critical times, he was the only offic-
er Of his battalion who advanced
beyond the town which was the OBJ
