the things, Gibson should talk
about. These are the basic reas-
ons why no colored combat divis-
ions will ever make good under
the "jim crow system.
Would Stop Patton
Regarding the END Division
progress in the high mountain
peaks OF Northern Italy where
German gunners practically sat
on ton of every high peak, it is
ridiculous to have expected any
"gains." The entire Fifth Army
made no gains to talk about and
neither did the British Eighth.
This was not the comparative
falkland of France and Germany
where huge Allied tanks made
sweeping advances easy, huge
Allied airpower was strongly
concentrated. The Italian IronO
had none Of these. Patton him
self would have been stalled In
italy Patton's chief weapon was
his mobile tanks. And where
Patton's tactics have failed on
towering, snowy Italian noun
tain peaks, the END Division
might have made even greater
Roadway on the lush flatlands Of
lower Europe. But the 92nd
never had a chance, didn't have
the air-support or much Of any
thing else. But the boys fought
bravely, did the best they could
against terrific odds. We hope
Gibson will tell about that too.

why were colored troops sent to

Crack Regiments Busted
There was, at the beginning
Of this war, several highly
trained and highly educated"
well stated colored regiments,
including units from Massachu-
Sets, New York, Chicago, and
Ohio which might have easily
been moulded into a first class
combat division led by colored
officers from colonel down. No
effort was made to utilize this
opportunity. Many Of these crack
combat units were changed or
broker down. They were separ-
ated. A colored cavalry division
was allegedly changed to non
combat. Raw green recruits were
rushed into what had formerly
been first class efficient colored
regiments. Morale was kept low
at training camps by discrimin-
alton. Colored combat divisions
had as much chance for success
as a SNOWFALL in hell. These are

VICTORY OVER DEATH
BY St. Clair Kirton

Out OF Times monstrous vaults the starless night
Fell on the mysteries of that tragic day.
Hate had its fear that the morning light
Love and devotion would their might display
Strict watch was kept; and mandatory seals,
Born Of that will having no good desire,
Vanished beneath the Victims powerful heels
Like powdered chaff fed to a roaring fire.
And SO that murky night of darkest hue,
Which enshrouded Creation in its pail,
Marked the transition of the Old to New
fuller, richer life assured to ALL
Fairest Of morn, Thy quickening grace impart
That We, these days, may know Thee as Thou art.

b. MARE KOIIMrZE
BY MABE KoUNTzE

Another investigation" by
colored leaders relative to army
conditions, notably within the
92nd Colored Buffalo" Division,
has hit the headlines. This time
Truman X. Gibson is spearhead-
ing the drive and he may or may
not produce" any better than
Boston.
Should Expose Facts
Truman Gibson Is civilian adj
wiser to the Secretary of War and
he is quoted as saying that 'illi-
eeracy" and inadequate training
o fthe 92nd Division made that
outfit put up a comparatively
poor showing as a whole, al
though some units were out
standing on the italian front.
Gibson charged that the 92nd
was carelessly and hastily
thrown together, unlike the case
Of white divisions. Gibson may
be right as far as he goes, but
he dosen't 60 far enough.
Military experts know that no
real attempt. was ever made to
form a first class colored COM
bat division either in the last
war or in this. IN 1918 the orr
ginai Buffalo" 92nd Division
ana the provisional original 93rd
division had their troubles and
many Of these division units
fought with the French. Race
bias kept colored units apart
from white. Colored officers
then, as now, had a terrific time.

ter OF a century later. these con-
