Teachers Campaign Fund

Detroit, Mich.-An organization fund
of $1,000 was unanimously guaranteed
to the Detroit Federation of Teachers

There were various legal grounds on which

undue influence was exerted upon her at the

AIDED RED VICTORIES
1.-The brilliant successes that
Russia has achieved in the past
and the offensive battles now being
Waged by her armies have been
made possible in no small degree
by the work performed by the per-
sonnet of this command known as
the Persian Gulf Command The
supplies necessary for conducting a
military campaign, such as the
world has been hearing and read
ing about since the defense of
Stalingrad, have been sent largely
through the ports in this COM
mand. Under natural conditions
that have been very exacting for
several months in the year the
personnel on duty at those stations
have given service that is worthy
of commentator. They have eStab-
lliShed an enviable record in the
performance of duty. Their dis
charge of cargo sent to this section
of the world to aid Russia has
nerited recognition from the Rus
sian government.
"For al ong time 1t was felt that
his command was one OF the most
important in the war being waged
by Russia, one of the United Ma
tons, against Germany. Recent
months have proved this to be true.
Because there is neither the CLAM
our nor the publicity given to the
kind of work being done in this
command there's a tendency for II
to go unheralded In a real sense
and with definite results the duties
performed by the personnel of
Fort company help to win the war
and speed the victory.
Especially will the Negro popu-
lation of Atlanta be interested to
know that they have representation
among the enlisted personnel where
I am surveying. The following are
the men who hail from Atlanta
and who send greetings through me

and to their friends: Sgt. Tillman
