Negro Enrolment In
Army Now 7O1,67S

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
Almost three-quarters of a million
Negroes are serving in the Army
of the United States, according to
an announcement this week by the
War Department. AS of September
80, there were 7O1,678 Negroes en-
rolled.
The infantry had 49,483; coast
and field artillery, 36,3O2; Cavalry,
867; engineers, 1880; air corps,
1866; and all others (mostly serv-
ice troops) 408,16O.
While the total number of Ne
groes has increased since the War
Departments announcement of May
Is, "A, of figures as of February
29, 1914, from 664,O66 to 701, 678,
there is an interesting comparison
of the numbers in the various cate
gories of service.
Enrollments in the cavalry drop
ped from 9,O43 to s67, the result
of the disbanding of the 9th and
10th cavalries which were converted
to service troops.
The air corps dropped from IT,
1876 TO 1856. Coast and field artil-
le-y re aped FROM 50,955 f. 1885,
Increases were noted in the in
fantry-from 44,O22 to 49,4S3; and
in "all others" (meaning service
troops) from 376,197 to 4O8,16O
The number of commissioned Of
ficers increased since February
from 4,979 to 5,SO4.

no matter how often they may have
been disappointed in previous
weeks.
Surely out of $4,000 readers
there are large number of people
who believe responsibility is a nee
essary concomitant of rights and
privileges. There are, undoubted-
ly, quite a few who are willing to
prove the fallacy of the charge that
Negroes are always asking for
something but won't contribute to-
ward getting it for themselves.
And that brings me to the point
want to get over!
The National Council for a Per-
manent FEPC has done one of the
most commendable jobs 1 have wit
messed in my Is years of working
in Washington. They have been
scared in the flames of ridicule, OPP
position, intrigue and politics. But
they have stuck to their knitting.
You heard the presidential can
didates for both major political
parties pledge themselves and their
parties during the campaign to
bring about legislation for a per-
manent FEPC. They did that be-
cause an aroused citizenry was de-
banding such an agency.
The National Council for a Per-
manent FEPC was the spearhead
in arousing the citizenry to an ap-
probation of the importance of
such legislation. 1t is now directing
its attention to the 18th Congress
in an effort to get it's bill through
the House and Senate by May 1.
Six bills have been introduced al
ready.
A mixed staff of five capable
white and colored women has been
running the show from the Wash
ington office of the National Coun-
ell. They are not rich. women ma
terially, though they have bound
less wealth in spirit, sincerity and
energy. They have to draw salaries
in order to eat, have a place to
sleep-though they do little of that
and to dress appropriately for
their conferences with Senators,
Representatives and cooperating
organizations. They must mail out
thousands of pieces of literature
every day, every week, every month
in order to keep up the offensive
which means postage, paper and
supplies. They must have an office
which costs rent.
All this requires a minimum of
$4,000 a month. That's a pitifully
small amount for the prize at the
end of the rainbow. But actually,
these women have faced payless
paydays without a hesitant step.
Their eyes are on a goal and they
move toward it relentlessly.
Their address is $50 F Street,
N. W., Washington, D. C. The light
of appreciation that comes into
their eyes when even $1.O0 con-
tributions come in the mail is in
spring in itself. Some others of
you, of course, can make really sub
stantial contributions to a cause so
worthy.
I've often wondered how much
attention you pay to what's in this
column. Here's your chance to build
up your own ego and mine at the
same time-mine by making me
think I am not writing in vain, and
yours by knowing you have a real
part in the fight for economic
emancipation of race.
Do it today! Send $1.00 or more
to the National Council for a Per-
manent FEPC-93O F Street, N. W.,
Washington, D. C.
An may the Lord take likin'
to you!
