NEGRO RECRUITS TO BE TRAIN
ED AT GREAT LAKES

Negro recruits w h volunteer for
general service in the Navy will be
trained at the Naval Training Station
Great Lakes, Illinois.
Negotiations are being conducted
with other schools for advanced train
ing facilities.
Recruiting or Negroes for general
service is to be begun as soon as bar
racks and other buildings, now under
construction, are ready for occupancy.
1t is expected that this work will be
completed about June Is.
1t has been the Navy's policy to
keep recruiting in close step with the
availability of training facilities as it
is considered undesirable to have en-
listed men stand by for more than
few days awaiting orders.
Timely announcement will be made
of the date of commencement of re-
cruiting.

FORT CUSTER, MICH.-(SpeciaD
Chaplain Allen Levi Johnson, whose
friendly counsel h provided en-
enlargement for thousands of colored
recruits in the past year, is leaving
the Fort Custer Reception Center,
The popular Chaplain, who holds
the rank Of First Lieutenant, has been

his own request. Long experience in
race relations in the South, convinced
Chaplain Johnson that he could best
serve his people in that section of
the country.
To colored troops at Fort Custer,
the transfer of Chaplain Johnson was
a distinct loss. Men on the sick list
were accustomed to seeing his fami-

Literally thousands OF troop s
crowded the Reception Center chapel
for Chaplain Johnson's popular SER
mons. His morale work brought tri-
butes from fellow officers. One out
standing achievement of Chaplain
Johnson was the organization of clubs
to aid and entertain colored soldiers.
These clubs, which were located in
such surrounding communities as Kali

colored soldiers at the Fort.
