INDICATIVE OF STUPIDITY
Remarks like these of the taxi

wickedness. Such people can
hardly be accused of thinking.

BETWEEN THE LINES

from the south indicates unmis-
takably that a last-ditch fight is
being joined by a few OF those
super-racists, who are still cap
able of bringing great woes upon
a southland that has been too
long cursed already with Negro
phobe pol ticians. This racial
phariseeism is now deluging our
world with blood and it does
not appear what will be its lat
ter end.
PRAYERS NEEDED
It would be a fine thing if
Negroes throughout the world
would pray for God to save this
world from another war by saw

PRAYER of a Modern Pharisee." 1t
is so suggestive that | want the
readers of this column to read
it. 1t follows: 81 thank, Thee,
Lord, that | am a North Caro-

South Carolina, those two noun
tains of conceit bordering the
vale Of humiliation full of POM
pous pride, and unaware that
their progressive neighbors have
long ago outdistanced them;
and I thank, thee, Lord, that ]
am an eastern North Carolinian,
for is it not a proverb that No
gentleman was ever born west of
the tidewater'? Especially Lord,
| thank thee that | am a south
erner and not Yankee - for
there are many things one might
endure, but not that!
Grateful am l. 0 Lord, that
| am North American and not
South American, for there is
vast difference, as everybody
knows; and that | was born IN
these favored United States ana
not among the gringes of Mexi-

men, but | never liked slanting
eyes or the wrong shape of the
nose. | thank thee, Lord, am
a Gentle and not a Jew. Yes,
Of course Jesus was born Jew
and many others of that race
were princes in Israel when my
ancestors were Nordic barbara

white, not yellow or red or

SAYS Work Of
Transports Good

WITH ALLIED FORCES IN
FRANCE-(A N p - The area
occupied by the Americans in
France has become a town of
white and black. In almost every
section there are colored soldiers
working side by side with their
white comrades.
The friendship that has sprung
up between them is remarkable
and may well lead to a new order
of things to come. All the white
correspondents of the big papers
in America, and soldiers from the
rank and file have been sounding
and resounding praise for the ire
mendous contribution the colored
soldiers have made in the invasion
since D-Day
I regret however, that the sin
cere and well meaning correspon-
dents do not have the power to
influence their editors to do the
only justifiable act towards their
gallant compatriotS. Had it not
been for our Negro newspapers and
a few of the liberal white ones, the
chivalrous exploits of the Negro
would remain in obscurity.
There are scores of colored COM
panies with the transport corps
and each company has approx
mately ITO men. When you assess
the combined efforts of these COM
panies, you can readily see why
the deeds of the Negro have shone
so brilliantly.
I visited a Negro truck company
that has been working with Her
culean movements. 1t is the first
company 1 have seen in France
with ali negro omcers. There are
five and the commanding officer is
lst 1t. Thomas S. Holmes of %
Hartford ST., Newark The others
are End Its. Darrell M. Bennett,
from Brooklyn, Charles H. Smith,
New York City; Arthur E. Harris
Baltimore, and Augustus U. Glib
son Brooklyn. All five took their
training at Camp Davis, N. c.,
and were commissioner at appro-
ximately the same time.
These officers were greatly i'm
pressed with the democratic spirit
of the English people. One said:
THE English people had made our
lives worth while living" The off,
GERS were formerly trained for
coast artillery and they are looking
forward to returning Tn thiS broroh

Chateau Restored to Countess
Related to Charles Carroll

Officers came to the chateau, and
said the paratroopers had landed
IN the wrong place due to high
winds and were cut off. The Com
tesse thought they would try to in
Nitrate through the German lines
to their own side.
NO we've come to stay. now
that we are here" she was told.
They hid about in the woods and
organized. They destroyed some
tanks and set others afire while
inflltrating through the Germans.
Two days later there was a fierce
battle between a paratroop detach-
ment and German contingent
near Aptville in which the enemy
was wiped out. But the paratroop-
ers were in perilous position.
Some remained hidden in the
woods OF the park until Texas troops
reached the neighborhood last week
Then they joined in the fighting.
Others were helped by the French
to get through the lines northward
to join the Americans.
One of the first Allied visitors to
the Chateau de Coigny was the
British Admiral Dalryample Har-
rlngton, whose grandmother was
the wife Of the last Duke de Coigny
buried in the chapel. He came to
see if the tomb was intact.
The Comtesses mother, a sister
OF Philip Carroll, married Comte de
kergolay, Brittany nobleman. The

With more than 1000 tanks still

The use of Caen as a port will be

In the American advance in the

But they withdrew to a village

German Press Tells
Of Struggle 10 Keep
Railways Operating
BY the Associated Press.

=
MADRID, July 10. - Far behind
the tumult and destruction on the
great battle fronts of Normandy
Russia and Italy, the Germans are
struggling desperately to stave off
defeat on the transportation front
on which the defense of all the
others depends.
The desperate situation on this
far-f1ung front which links produc-
ton areas with the armies is dis
closed in German newspapers reach
ing Spain.
! They appeal to the German peo-
pie to understand the complete
stoppage of railway traffic in certain
areas, and not to lose patience.
There are numerous articles glorify-
Ing railWaymen and urging them to
still greater effort under conditions
of personal danger similar to the
fighting front"
Horse Drawn Vehicles Used.
In addition there are reports of
campaigns to divert every possible
self propelled or horse-drawn We
hicle to supplement the dwindllng
capacity of the bomb battered and
sabotage-ridden railway network.
During the period from March
through May about 800 persons were
reported killed in train wrecks in
Germany. but this is only one fea-
ture of the Transportation battle in
which railway yards and functions
throughout Europe have been bat
tered from the air for many months.
The Berlin newspaper Voelkischer
Beobachter, praising efforts of Ger
man railwaymen in France to keep
supplies rolling. describes the terrif-
ic intensity of the Allied lombard
ments preparatory to the Normandy
offensive.
Hundreds of British and Amer
lean heavy bombers dumped on lit
tie railway functions in France
gigantic weights of bombs sufficient
to transform whole cities into rub
BILE and ashes" the newspaper re-
ported, land in addition countless
trains have been shot up by cannon
and machine guns of marauding
planes"
Since the Normandy landings 1t
has become even worse with the
onslaughts of saboteurs,' the news
paper added. Nevertheless, through
efforts described as superhuman,
railroaders have managed to keep
trains moving to the front, it de-
clared.
Recent underground informa-
ton from Germany says that
numerous railwaymen have been
arrested for refusal to man NUM-
tlons trains passing through heavily
bombed areas. The reports assert
there is widespread discomfort as
well as lack of antiaircraft pro-
lection for the railway centers and
trains.
Advertisements appear in Ger
man newspapers calling for factory,
workshop and even carpenter VOL
unteers to take on some of the
urgent task of repairing damaged
freight cars and locomotives.
