carry on their instruction programs.
Careful Supervision Demanded
Mr.. Bartlett emphasized that the
War Department, when a crew OF
prisoners are issued a farmer for
cotton picking, requires that he or
his representative be present in the
field at all times with the prisoners,
and that he follows the prisoners in
the field and carefully instruct
them, thru their interpreter, rela-
tive to the operation of cotton
picking. The War Department is
interested in getting as much cot
ton picked as possible, and this can
only be done by careful farmer
supervision. In at least one in
stance in Pinal county recently a
crew of prisoners was taken from
a farmer, when the War Depart
ment believed that he was not fur
nishing proper supervision.

ARMY MAY DROP CHARGES
AGAINST . ARRESTED IN RACE
BRAW' 4 WHITES STABBED

LON '1N, aug. ~ \AANA
Charge nay not be placed against
the % american Negro soldiers in
volved in race brawl at the Colo
nial club here when two U. S. ma
rines, one white soldier and one
white girl were stabbed, according
to an announcement from the u. S.
Army provost marshaPs depart
ment.
At the same time, no indication
was given as to what will happen to
the two Negro soldiers charged
with stabbing the four whites dur
ing free-for-all at the club follow
ing an argument between white
soldier and Negro civilian.
"Why don't you get back to your
own damned country?" the Negro
civilian is reported to have asked
the white soldier during the argu-
ment.
Local citizens have complained
about the conduct of white Ameri-
can troops, mostly from the south
ern part of the United States,
who seem unable to adjust them
selves to the society here that does
not place jimcrow restrictions upon
Negroes. These men are reported to
protest furiously because Negro sol
diers and white girls fraternize
and because Negro soldiers are not
barred from local places of enter
tainment.
American MP's rescued two Ne
gro soldiers from mob-mad white
American soldiers somewhere in
the vicinity of Piccadilly circus be-
fore the knitting. But shots from the
military policemen's guns, fired in
mid air, failed to halt a soldier mob
from converging on the Colonial
club. They hurled rocks at the place
and demanded that the Negroes
come out.
One Negro broke from the build
ing and a number of shouting white
troops chased him to Rainbow cor
ner, off Piccadilly circus, beating
him severely on the head. British
and American police dispersed the
mob assaulting the Colonial club
where the Negro civilian and sol
diers fled after their clash with
white troops.
They went into the club and ar
rested % Negroes, two white SOL
diers and three white women.
