ARTHUR BRIGGS FREED AFTER
4YEARS IN NAzI CAMP


ASSOCIATED Negro Press War
Correspondent
PARIS, Sept. 18 (ANP)-Ar-
thur Briggs, the famous trumpet
player, was the first Negro musi-
clan of distinction l met in Paris
after coming here with allied
forces. He had just been released
from the prisoner Of war camp at
st. Denis where he had been de-
tanned for four years, and was able
to give me a graphic account Of
Nazi propaganda efforts aimed at
colored prisoners, and also told of
how the Germans tried to kill them
all as the allied troops neared the
prison camp.
Briggs, reputed to be the best

Der Of the camp. On the whole the
Germans behaved decently with the
exception of a few Nazi upstarts
who tried to show their leopard
spots. The Nazis, however, tried to
work on the colored boys with
typical Nazi cunning. There were
Hindus in the camp, most of whom
belonged to the National party. The
Nazis got hold of a certain Indian
who was reputed to be the leader of
the Indians in Paris. They told him
to go into the camp and speak to
the men urging them to make an
application for their release. The
Nazis assured him that this would
be granted upon the Hindus signing
a statement to become affiliated
with the Nationalist movement, and
fight against Britain for their in
dependence.
The Indian leader went among
the Negro element and persuaded
them to do the same thing. The Ne
gro boys emphatically rejected this
approach and said they were in
termed as Britishers and would re-
main that way to the bitter end.
The Nazis tricked the Indians for
as soon as they were released, they
were put in the Indian division un-
der Shandra Bose which was used
as shock troops on the coast of Nor
mandy.

TIE DAILY
trumpet player in Europe and who
achieved fame in practically every |
European capital, played for Noble
Sissle when he was in Europe. When
Noble came to Paris with his or
chestra, Briggs was directing his
own band in Berlin. Noble wanted
Briggs to be his first chair man and
in consequence he offered him a
colossal salary. Arthur Briggs gave
up his band and joined Noble. He
went with him to London where the
orchestra had great success play
ing at the famous Ciro's club. An
interesting partnership developed
between Noble Sissle and Arthur
Briggs, for not only was he first
chair man but he became Mobiles
secretary and returned to America
with the orchestra.
When France capitulated, Briggs
made no attempt to get away for he
did not contemplate an entry Of the
German forces SO rapidly. Hence,
he stayed in Paris with his wife.
Six weeks later a general census of
all foreigners were taken and he
was told to report to police to be
interned. The order was suddenly
cancelled but he was later arrested
and sent to St. Denis camp Oct. II,
1910.
Three days after he was in camp
he formed an orchestra of six
pieces to break the monotony and
boredom of camp life which was
fearfully depressing at the outset.
They started out with swing music
but later when the orchestra was
augmented to 25 pieces, they de-
voted their endeavors to classical
music. The orchestra became a
source of much happiness and COM
fort to the 1000 internees of the
camp. The German commandant be-
came so interested that he not only
attended their concerts, but rehear-
sails as we'll.
At the beginning Of their intern
ment trio was formed as well
which consisted of Briggs, Gay
Martins from West Africa and
Owen Macauley, a colored boy who
was born in England. They song
Negro spirituals. The orchestra re-
hearsed every morning in the thea
ire from 9 to II 80 o'clock. Among
the internees there were men from
every profession, hence they were
able to build theatre just as per.
feet as any in Paris. It was called
the St. Denis theatre. Red Cross
boxes were used to build the stage
and dressing rooms; and cigaret
tins were employed for stage set
tings. The artists in the camp die
the decorating and scenery and
am told that the most skilled painter
among them was a colored boy.
There were about SO colored boys

FREE

An order that means little to the
farmer at the present time is that OF
War Food Administrator Jones, end
ing all VIA rationing and distribu-
ton control of farm machinery and
equipment, except corn pickers. The
order means little because of the fact
that there is not enough machinery
on the market to supply demands
rationed or not rationed.
Farm items released from ration
ing and distribution control are:
Combines, corn binders, manure
spreaders, mowers side delivery
rakes, hay leaders, pickup hay balers,
wheel tractors, garden tractors, well
water systems, power pumps, farm
milk coolers, sheet metal we'll casing,
farm scales. grain drills, potato
plan. ers, potato diggers, silo filters,
irriga ton pumps, power sprayers.
Germ pickers retained for rationing
to effect equitable distribution.
