THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR. No. 15 IN UNION IS STRENGTH GREAT AUK NOW EXTINCT AMONG MOUNTED SPECIMENS Other New Features are Hawaiian Feather Capes and Model of Hildatsa Earth Lodge The American Museum of Natural History, New York, has placed on exhibition five specimens of elephant seals which will form a portion of a group of these animals. Lack of space will delay the completion of this most interesting group until such time as a new wing is added to the present building. The specimens were secured on Gaudalupe Island, in the Pacific Ocean, 150 miles off the northern part of Lower California. The largest male measures nearly sixteen feet in length and twelve feet in girth and the female nearly eleven feet in length. Elephant seals are the largest of all seals, and owe their name to the great size and to the remarkable trunk or snout developed in the adult male, which frequently attains a length of twenty inches. They have been on the verge of extinction, and are now found nowhere else in the Northern Hemisphere, although formerly very abundant at several other polls along the coast, especially so on the islands off the west coast of Lower California. At the present time the Gaudieu herd is protected. Another species, however found through the Antarctic islands, particularly Kerguelen Island, is extensively hunted for the valuable oil which it produces, a single animal making from one to two barrels, which readily brings the hunters 40 to 50 cents a gallon. The Museum has also come into possession of a mounted specimen and skeleton of the Great Auk, or Gare Fowl, which is now extinct, no living specimen having been recorded since 1844. Only eight skins, twenty skeletons, and 73 eggs are known to be in existence. The value of the specimens in the Museum is approximately $3,000. The Great Auk formerly bred on a few small islets off the coast of Iceland and Newfoundland, the during its migration is occurred along our coast as far south as Virginia. Two hones from a shell heap indicate that occasionally it may have reached Florida. It's principle breeding place was Junk Island, off the coast of Newfoundland. Being fightless and helpless on land, it was an easy victim for the early voyagers and fishermen, who killed the birds in vast numbers for their flesh and feathers, the result being extermination. Among the notable specimens recently placed on exhibition in the South Sea Islands Hall are a number of Hawaiian feather capes. The feather capes are worn as robes of honor by the great Hawaiian chiefs. The basis of these garments was a network of "olona" fiber, which was obtained from a Hawaiian plant. Into each mesh of the network were interwoven the feathers of certain birds, of which the "ifiw", a kind of honey-sucker, was the species most generally hunted. For the red and yellowish color tones of this bird the brilliantly black plumage of the "oo", another form of the honey-sucker formed an excellent foil. The favorite patterns were of triangular and crescentic shapes. VOLCANIC MUD FERTILIZES Eruption of Mt. Lassen Responsible for New Discovery. The eruption of Mount Lassen on May 22, which sent a mud flow down Hat Creek Valley, Cal., was a blessing as a whole, according to the report made by Percy H. Opdyke a farmer of the valley. The biggest crop of alfalfa ever known in the valley has been harvested from the mud covered meadows. It is true that high up the valley, for the time being at least, one farmer lost five hundred tons and another seventy five tons of alfalfa on account of the mud, according to Opdyke. But further down where the valley is comparatively level and much wider, the mud spread out so thin that it did not smother the growing alfalfa. It acted as a good fertilizer. ASBESTOS FINE MINERAL, TOO Potentially a Life Saver, Yet It Has Other Important Uses. Other Important Use. Asbestos is a potential life saver. Its incombustibility and its fibrous structure make it one of the most useful minerals—for such it is—for many and various purposes. Nearly every theater curtain is now made of asbestos. The it primarily is of rock substance it is converted into soft and pliable condition, as easy to work with as cotton or wool. The material is used in making lumber, roofing, plaster and stucco. Aside from is incombustibility, asbestos has another virtue in its power as a non-conductor, and persons living in a house wherein asbestos forms a part of the material are assured of comfort in extreme heat or cold. Nortfolk has more churches in proportion to its population than any other English county. THE GAZETTE THANK THE LORD--THE WAR IS OVER!

Two days we stayed on there with an Afro-American regiment (369th Infantry) near the front, and they were two days of a superior variety of continuous black face vaudelleville. Three weeks later, we benefit the men organized an impromptu concert featuring a quartet that would succeed on any man's burlesque circuit, and a troupe of buck and wing dancers whose equals it would be hard to find on the "Big Time." There was the next evening when the band of forty pieces serenaded us. I think surely this must be the best regimental band in our army. Certainly it is the best one I have seen during the war. On parade when it played the "Memphis Blues" the men did not march; the music poured in at their ears and run down to their heels, and instead of marching they literally danced their way along. As for the dwellers of the French towns in which this regiment has from time to time been quartered, they, I am told, fairly go mad when some alluring, compelling ragtime musicians conjureed melody in it which only the black man can achieve; and as the regiment has moved on, more than once it has been hard to keep OUR TROOPS FINE MARKSMEN Bring a German Plane to Earth Puncture by More Than 100 Bullets. (By N. C. Parks, Staff Correspondent International News Service). With the American Army in France.—Afro-American troops have proved their marksmanship recently by bringing down a Boche plane, which had taken them with machine gun fire, in less than fifteen seconds. More than a hundred bullets penetrated the acroplane. The German appeared over the quaint old town of St. Die and swooped down to an altitude of less than 150 feet. He was forced to miss to clear the tower of the Hotel de Ville, but again glided down and turned his machine gun on the principal street, despite the fact that many civilians, men, women and children were on the sidewalks. One civilian was wounded. Two Afro-American military policemen promptly unleashed their revolvers, at the "Hun." He climbed out of the ramp and passed over the city, sliding down again when he discovered a company of Afro-American infantry, on the hike, resting under some trees. He turned loose his machine gun again. The company commander ordered his men to open fire. The Boche plane burst into flames and fell a few hundred yards away. The pilot was killed. popular and best liked officers of the 370th regiment. When he came to Camp Logan he was a sergeant in the Machine Gun Co., but when he left he had won a commission and was a lieutenant in Company C. In the center appears the likeness of Lieutenant Bruce Browne of the popular and efficient young man, who won his bars while at Camp Logan, coming from the ranks. He was assigned to Company G, commanded by Captain George M. Allen, before the regiment left here. The other colored officer is Lieutenant Blaine G.

If I live to be a hundred and one I shall never forget the second night of a splendid, flawless full moon. We stood with the regimental staff on the terraced lawn of the chief house in a half-deserted town five miles back from the trenches, and down below us in the main street the band played plantation airs and hundreds of Afro-American soldiers joined in the battle. Believing the walls of the dark face was a ring of white ones when the remaining natives of the place clustered, with their heads wagging in time to the tunes. And when the band got to "Way Down Upon the 'Swanze River'" I wanted to cry, and when the drum-major, who likewise had a splendid baritone voice, sang, as an interpolated number, "Joan of Arc," first in English and then in excellent French, the villagers openly cried; and an peasant, heavily bewhiskered, with tears of a jeous and the helpful enthusiasm running down his bearded cheeks, was with difficulty restrained from throwing his arms about the soloist and kissing him--By Irvin S. Cobb in the Saturday Evening Post. "CONVENTION." The New Name for the Damphoo American Race Prejudice. Dear Miss Joy. When there is such a great demand for telephone operators and it is said to be one way of winning the war, why won't they employ colored girls? Our girls have brothers, sweethearts and husbands over there fighting for democracy for all nationalities. Some weeks ago I applied for a position as operator but as yet I have not received an answer. Why is this discrimination? Does it make any difference what nationality helps to bring this most awful war to an end? A Colored Girl. No, it doesn't make any difference at all. Everybody's help is going to be needed to bring the war to a successful conclusion, but the help of each and every one of us must be applied in the place where it must be utilized to the best advantage, and sometimes that isn't the place to which our preference points. Colored girls are running elevators, checking rooms, and, in some places, acting as ushers in theaters, and I cannot see where the lot of a telephone operator is to be preferred to any of these. It must be admitted that convention does not yet admit the employment of colored girls in all capacities, but that is no reason why they may not be of real help in war-winning work.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The French officers are, to use the generally employed phrase, jolly fellows well met.—Houston (Tex.) Observer. Charles L. Clark, (white), who dropped his studies at Shaw High school a year ago to become a Red Cross driver in France, has returned to Cleveland, where he will re-enlist this time in the motor transport corps. In a local daily newspaper interview, published, Tuesday, Clark said: "Of all the American soldiers in France the colored soldiers are the most satisfied and pleased with the country. This is due, to the complete absence of any rate prejudice, and of course all color-lines, in France: Large numbers of our colored soldiers will remain in France ("God's country") after the war closes." ORGANIZED A SUPPLY COMPANY The Big Store Opened Its Doors on October 10—Large Stock on Hand. Mound Bayou, Miss. — Several months ago Mr. Charles Banks invited a number of farmers and other business men to his office for a conference. After a free and open discussion by many present Mr. Banks suggested the organization of a supply company with 100 persons at $200 each, making a total capital stock of $20,000. The idea was at once grasped by all present, and then and there money began to be paid to the treasury time meetings were held and satisfactory progress was made, until on October 15 it was decided to open the store at once. The other officers are: Rev. Walter Warren, press; M. Y. Stringer, salesman, and E. O. Powell, sec. Auditing committee: F. H. Miller, T. S. Morris, L. M. Westbrooks, B. H. Creswell and M. C. Winston. Loan committee: C. M. Bedford, Rev. A. M. Powell, Rev. C. C. Caldwell, N. D. Grant, T. S. Morris, B. G. Simmons and S. A. Allen, Board of Trade Miles, W. A. Northington, C. F. Bolton, Will Pipes, Benny Crossley, Bud Stiles, Rev W. H. Thompson, L. A. Powell, Carl Johnson and Henry Carter. This company will certainly meet a long-felt want. Farmers and others needing supplies during the spring and summer had to go elsewhere for same. The Mound Bayou Supply Company promises to meet this want by furnishing goods or money. From all indications, as to resources, etc., this company will be the largest of its kind of trade Miles. Another thing which will help the company will do a cash retail business and will sell goods at the cheapest prices that the market will afford. The stock is large and fresh. FROM A CLEVELAND SOLDIER. Somewhere in France, Oct. 17, '18. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I guess you will be very much surprised to receive this letter from me. I have been intending to write before this but have been very busy, as you know. I am well and getting along all O. K., and like France very much even though it shows the marks of the most bloody war. I guess Cleveland is pretty dull since Uncle Sam has taken so many of the young men to war. We are all working hard to end this struggle so we can all get home to our loved ones. I would be glad to help you with copies of The Gazette as I always like home news. Be sure and let me hear from you at an early date and remember me to Charlie Hakeley and give him my address. Also tell Charlie Sutton to write to me. I will write again soon. Sgt.

IN UNION IS STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS INFANT TOODLES UP TO HIM IN A CHICAGO RESTAURANT Puts Her Arms Around His Neck; He Dashes Away Tear and Leaves to Return to Family. "And a little child shall lead them." It was a sad faced, lonely looking man, prosperous in appearance, who walked into a restaurant near Madison and Franklin streets shortly before the noon rush. He took a seat alone at a table in a far corner. His eyes were directed toward the coiling. Apparently he was thinking deeply, Suddenly he appeared startled by the joyful laughter of children. Looking up he glanced at a table some distance from him. A man in clerical garb occupied a seat at the table. Across from him sat a pleasant faced woman. It was plain she was the minister's wife. Next to her sat a gray haired, motherly looking woman. Evidently she was the wife's mother and grandmother of the three lively youngsters—two of them boys. They looked like twins, about 8 years old. Running around the table was a little girl about two years old. The lonesome man in the far corner looked with eager eyes at the happy family. He wiped away a tear and turned to do justice to the meal set before him. Suddenly he ceased eating. A surprised look came into his face and with a fork half raised he looked down on the little two year old child who was tugging at his trousers. Extending two chubby little arms, she made it plain she desired to be taken up. Embarrassed the lonesome man leaved, picked up the dainty bit of humanity and placed her in his lap. The little one was perfectly satisfied. Gleefully she extended her arms upward, wound them about the man's neck and kissed him. At that moment the clergyman and his wife leaped from their seats, hurried over to the lonesome man and sought to induce the little one to go back to their table. They begged, scolded and pleaded, but with no result. Their baby was contented and happy with her new found friend. His embarrassment soon left him and he pleaded that his "company" be permitted to remain with him. The clergyman smiled and with his wife returned to their table. And the lonesome man fed the little one with his own fork and forget to eat himself. His face was wreathed in smiles. Apparently he was happy. Neither was he lonesome. Finally his "company" indicated she had enough, settled down in the lap of her new found friend, laid her head smugly against him and was soon fast asleep, the smile of happiness still on her face. A few minutes later the clergyman, his wife, the older woman and children were on their way to the Chicago and Northwestern depot. "I'll do it; I'll go right home to them at once," murmured the lonesome man as he arose from his seat. A waitress who knew him smiled knowingly. "He's going back to his wife and three little children whom he left more than a year ago," explained the waitress. "I knew him in his home town. He has three of the finest little children one could think of. In his loneliness and despair he had been in the habit of coming in here because he knew I was here. But he's going home now. And it was a little child who did it." SHOWS WHEN CHIMNEY SMOKES Mirror Placed In Railroad Yard Reflects any Activity. A mirror arranged to show when a chimney is smoking is one of the conveniences recently placed in the yard of a large railroad shop for the benefit of the firemen. Instead of going out at frequent intervals to see if the ascending smoke is likely to bring the company into difficulty, as well as to decrease the volume of heat produced the firemen simply glance thru the window at a mirror outside the boiler house. This enables them to accurately control the amount of fuel and draft required for a certain heat standard which may vary with atmospheric changes. The mirror is 24x18 inches. It is hinged at the top and attached to an iron post at an angle of 45 degrees, so that it is easily visible from the firing room which is sixty feet long. Altho the chimney is 155 feet high, any smoke rising from it is perfectly reflected in the mirror. MAKES COMPRESSED AIR ENGINE Pennsylvanian Claims it Will Run Automobile or Warship. Harry Cline of Gardners, Pa., claims that after twenty-eight years spent perfecting he has invented a compressed air engine that will run anything from an automobile up to the largest warship. He claims that his invention is simple in construction and that it can be easily applied to any mechanism. Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1918 O, that "wet" and "dry" fight! How it reminds us of the contest before the one of Tuesday. Thank the Lord for a Republican majority in the U. S. Senate or the House of Representatives, or both. How beautifully do the French ex- emplify the "brotherhood of man!" Great people, great country! even in its devastation. "Convention"—The new name for American racial prejudice. Good Lord, what next? "Miss Joy" proves anything but joy in this instance. The defeat of U. S. Senator Weeks of Massachusetts is to be deplored just as much as the victory of Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri. If, as announced, the Germans have signed the armistice terms and "the war is over", the world cannot but be thankful. It seems too good to be true. We regret to announce the death recently, of Attorney Graham Dewell of Columbus, O., one of the race's most loyal members throughout a long and active life. The Gazette thoroughly appreciates the courtesy of the Houston (Tex.) Observer in leaning us the large cue on page 1 of this paper. The Observer is one of our leading papers in the southland. Some one should call Ex-Gov Frank B. Willis' attention to the fact that the Republican organization of this, Cuyahoga, county failed him Tuesday, just as The Gazette, many months ago, warned him it would. So U. S. Senator J. Ham, Lewis of Illinois, President Wilson's "right hand man" has been defeated. Well the country's most august legislative body will and can afford to miss the luxurious and resplendent "wind teasers" of its "fashion-plate." Henry Ford will not have to leave his son, Edsel, alone at home in Michigan and go to Washington, D.C., to attend the sessions of the U.S. Senate. Good! both for the people of that state and the son who is evidently "too proud to fight." Re-elected or defeated, Gov. Charles S. Whitman of New York state ought to be the next Republican candidate for the presidency. Had he been the candidate instead of Mr. Hughes, President Wilson would never have been re-elected. Gov. Whitman is a REAL friend of the race, too. Optimistic Afro-Americans will do well to heed the timely warning of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, published elsewhere in this paper. The change for the better, in the condition of our people, that is to look and feel like an improvement, after the war, must be secured now, while the war is on, and even then—after the war—we will have our troubles trying to retain a goodly portion of that improvement. It will be well for us to keep this ever before us, these days. As we go to press, indications point to the election of Mr. Beatty of Cincinnati and the defeat of Mr. Hughes of Columbus and Harry E. Davis of Cleveland—Afro-American candidates for the legislature. This is the latter's second defeat, if memory serves us correctly. West Virginia also had three race candidates, New York two, California, Illinois and Missouri, one each—for the legislature. We have been unable to learn what success, if any, they have had, but are hopeful. SOUTHERNISM AMERICA'S "HUNISM." The fact that the south openly flaunts into the face of the nation its disregard for the constitution, stamps the South as the hotbed of national degeneracy. Germany does not care for the international laws that govern the nations of the world. These laws of the "Hun" are but a "scrap of paper." The federal constitution, so far as it respects or touches the colored man, is a "dirty rag" in the eye of the South. If Germany must be brought to her knees and be made to respect the laws of civilized nations so must the South be brought to her knees and be forced to respect every portion of the constitution as equally binding upon every race and every section of this land. The word "nigger" is but the expression of the South of its contempt for the constitution in making black men citizens of America. The various subterfuges resorted to by the South, do emphasize the contemptuous disregard the South has for the intention of the U. S. to enforce its constitution. The open declaration on the part of southern representatives that the north would be made to bear the burden of the war, shows how lawless at heart that section is and the leniency shown the South heretofore by the different portions of the country, did but confirm the South in its lawless and bigotted attitude toward the whole country. It is folly for America to rail at the German that crushes small peoples and shut its eyes to the South's crushing American citizens here, and that too with impunity. Our study of German barbarity but exposes the hideousness of the South. The danger, which is most likely to engulf us is the silent toleration of the South's lawlessness by the whole country until force like that of the "sixties" will have to be used to bring her to time. Chief among certain evils of southernism may be mentioned as follows: Excluding the black man from the jury system in order that nothing would stand in the way of its railroading to prison any one in its way. Second: Depriving the black race of the benefit of the schools in order that the ignorance of the race might be used as a justification of the South's unjust attitude. Third: The schools that the South permit to run are compelled to teach only those things the South feels a Negro should be tolerated in knowing a little about. The teachers the South permits to teach these must accept, unconditionally, the attitude of the South. The more illiterate the teacher, the better the South likes him or her, and the more immortal she or he is the greater satisfaction the South has with her or his work. Fourth: The black women are made special targets for southern hate and oppression. "Jim-crow" cars are maintained by the South as a means to underline the probity, virtue and character of the black woman. In those "dirty pens" a black woman has no more protection from white and black scoundrels than a lamb has in theaves of wolves. The federal government today retains the "jim-crow" cars because it is unwilling to brook he spleen of the South if its chief weapon of moral destruction is taken away. Fifth: That the Negro may be kept in this hell, all southern states have made it a crime to induce any number of colored people o migrate from the South even though they may be able to better their condition ten-fold. That is, the South robs, impoverishes and holds an peonage black people and protects itself by making it a crime for any one to tell these people of better places in which to live. So intent is he south on keeping the black people in peonage till it has forced telegraph companies, railroad officers and ticket agents to refuse to deliver to our people a telegram or ticket or any other thing that will help them to better their condition. Nothing Germany has done or is doing is more diabolical than this. The nation must destroy this "Hunism" in its midst now. We demand absolute and unconditional surrender on the part of the South.

I like the paper very much and would not be without it as Cleveland seems like my home. Very respectfully yours. James D. Earle. A Timely Warning. New York City—Col. Theodore Roosevelt, addressing an audience of our people last Saturday night, sounded a warning against any assumption that the war or peace will bring "a millenium of good fellowship." "The most prominent exponents of the millenium of universal love are Leneine and Trotzky, and when they came to apply the theory the results were not those expected." PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least worst.

DOINGS OF THE RACE Of the more than 9,000 officers commanding Afro-American soldiers at home and "overseas" only 1,250 are members of the race. Our Orphans' Home, at Lexington, Ky., has received a bequest of $15,000 by the will of C. L. Painter, wealthy and philanthropic citizen of Pittsburgh, who died last September. Pittsburgh, who died last September, one of the four colored Catholics priests in this country, has been appointed pastor of St. Monica's Catholic church, Hill St., near Hanover, Baltimore, MD.

Among the jobs that have been opened to women are places in hotels, factories, offices and private homes. Harry Wills, the young six-foot-two gait as is regarded by judges as the best of heavyweights, if not the best of any nationality, makes no hesitation in offering services for war fund purposes. He leaves offered to box two of the best that can be chosen, any color, Willard and Dempsey preferred. Ralph W. Tyler hollered one peculiar kind of holter (at DuBois) until he landed a fat (?) job by it, and "THE MEDDLER" is game sport enough to bet dollars to doughmats that he doesn't holler that peculiar kind of holter any more, until he himself insecurely straits for another is jailed Waxahachie (Tex.) Meddler A. Tyler Manning (Tex.) Alex E. Manning, publisher of the Indianapolis World, has been appointed a special traveling examiner in the Department of Labor, with headquarters in Indiana. All matters relating to labor disputes or troubles in war work are handled by this department. Manning, a "Negro" Democrat for many years, has at last got himself a job. Cotans are a mixed breed of Indian Negro and Caucasian, living in the Cayman Islands, who are too white to be black and lack the white. Army authorities had trouble in placing them until the policy was adopted of placing the darker ones with the colored troops and the white ones with the white troops. Now everything goes well. "Aunt" Caroline Dye, who died recently at Newport, Ark, left 3,500 silver dollars in her home and $8,000 and several Liberty Loan bonds in the bank. She is said to have been over 100 years old and the owner of real estate valued at more than $100,000. She was a famous "fortune-teller," widely known and patronized by wealthy white southerners. There are ninety Afro-American secretaries, in the "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. department, in camps and twenty-eight, "overseas." Also, one hundred Afro-American workers in the "jim-crow" Y. W. C.

Remember Booker Washington's notorious "separate as the fingers of the hand" Atlanta, Ga. speech, many years ago? Well, if you don't, this ought to make you. One will never be able to estimate the harm its deliverance did and continues to do our people.

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises uses the same condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. "Any prejudice whatever will be insumountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it is a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill.

Jerry West, a young progressive, demonstrated his ability of thought when he won the first grand prize in a suggestion contest at the Hydraulic Pressed Steel Co., recently. There are thousands of men, both white and colored, who had the opportunity to give their suggestions and thousands of them who did, but Jerry was the best thinker. The suggestions were to be of the kind pertaining to the betterment or improvement on various methods used heretofore in the operation and welfare of the plant. The method that was accepted, a small prize was given. Jerry submitted an improved design for a carloading conveyor. He is also one of a number of Afro-American foremen of the shipping department.

C.—The members of the Students Army Training Corps who had been in training here for the past two months left Oct. 25 under orders from the War Department for assignments at various military camps. The truck drivers were sent to Camp Wheeler, Ga., the general and auto mechanics to Camp Humphreys, Va., the radio operators to Camp Vail, N. J., and the tractor-operators to Camp Jackson. Previous to their departure they paraded the principal streets of the city headed by the college hand, and made an excellent showing under the new colored offence. Another detachment in command here. Another detachment in command here. Fourty men reported a hundred instruction in radio-engineering, track driving, auto mechanics, horse shoeing, general mechanics, wheedlwring, carpentry and bench working. The Federal Board for vocational education has asked the college to undertake the work also of educating disabled soldiers returning from foreign service so that they may be able to resume productive activities. The fall meeting of the board of trustees was held, Oct. 30, at the college. Gov. Manning, chairman of the college, presided. Business pertaining to the general expansion of the college was transacted and the report to the forthcoming session of the legislature approved. A large number of state college men will apply for places in the Officers' Training Camp now being organized for Camp Fike. It is reasonable that, that a majority of them will be admitted and make good, thus winning commissions in the army. The college service flag approximates three hundred stars. College men are in all divisions of the army at home and overseas. While the War Department refuses to be a party to the introduction of the color-line in northern schools having Students' Army Training Corps, southern officers of the U. S. Army, like the one stationed at Oberlin College, are doing that very thing.
