HON. FISH DEFENDS NEGRO SOLDIERS --- Coolidge Commends N.A.A.C.P. VOL. VII THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON ROSENBERG'S JUNETEENTH musical numbers were except for the good, the singing of the Con� College male quartet, solo by the S. A. Jordan and dust by Mr. M. B. Edmond and Miss M. Taylor. The song of the Con� College male quartet, solo by the singers demonstrated their musical ability and talent. Colonel Simmons made a wonderful speech to our people; wonderful! He was a beautiful man, a wonderful and rhetorical manner in which this was a beautiful voice. He was a beautiful voice, but wonderful because of the food for thought the speech contained; its sound advice and wise counsel; his impassioned plea for the race to discard the heavy weights holding it down and to affect its own manlyness, and his strong will to make the meeting up with the superstition and other retarding and baneful practices and characteristics. He measured from all angles it was the speech we have ever heard fall over the colonel's eloquent tongue, having always been a veryصحيح. He was country; and this opinion was of many who had heard previous occasions. Seeing the barbecue (and those people and enough meat to feed colored Houston), a beautiful street pan-rade was stage for an evening prize. He was a very beautiful and beautiful horse, sedan and touring cars. We fested at a special table prepared for the guests, but ran a poor second to Dr. H. M. Williams in the eating line; for while the reverend, who is a past master of the building, he would be strutting his stuff with the cats. Taken by and large, the June tenth at Rosenberg was one glad some and gala occasion, and the visit of Colonel Simmons to the town was one of the best things that has ever happened to the community, both as it relates to both races. We about concluded that city folks do not know how to celebrate the Juneteenth and many of our natal day celebrations are likely to find us all Rosenberg, or how to put on a celebration.

About a billion thrill of the evening and of a lifetime were fearless matters. About whom were women, take a birdwatcher view of Houston from the sky. The sky was a big drop off the ground got a kick out of seeing his friends go up and speeches were needed to say that this was the first time the colored public of the city was needless to see that the city is needless to see that they disprove the city, and the management was more than glad to see them disprove the city. The only difficulty experience is in carrying them up with people so fast as they wanted to go. On account of various Juneeast events, the crowd the public is clamoring for a repertoire. In answer to this request another circle will be held in an early morning. OFF TO S. S. CONGRESS Among Houstonians attending the P.F. U. and R. S.

WHO LED NEGRO TROOPS IN EUROPE. SCATTERS GEN. BULLARD'S "BULL" from the cotton and corn fields less than two months before being ordered to participate in a general offensive. Some of the soldiers actually went into battle without ever having fired a rifle. Unlike other divisions, they had hardly any experience in quiet sectors, but owing to the need for all available troops were rushed into the September offensive. "General Bullard goes on to say that 'the Negro it seems can not stand bombardment.' Such a statement is simply silly and shows that General Bullard does not know what he is talking about. I am quite sure that neither General Mangin or General Gouraud of the French army, both of whom commanded colored French troops, ever had any such idea. General Mangin, who had such experience with colored soldiers as any general in the World War, was most outspoken in his praise and maintained that if properly trained and led they were equal to the best troops in any army in the world for bravery and fighting qualities. "Those white officers who have served with colored troops know that if Negro soldiers are given a fair chance, carefully trained and led by experienced officers, that they make first class fighting men. If General Bullard desires to question the efficiency and advisability of using colored officers, let him say so, but not Indict the Negro soldier of cowardice which is a gross calumny against fearless soldiers who were ready and willing to lay down their lives for their country, and who if well fed will go as far as any general or any white officer will lead them." "General Bullard further says, 'the politics of our country had forced the formation of this Negro division contrary to experience.' Contrary to what experience and to whose experience? Since when did the United States ever have divisions containing 27,000 men before white or black? No wonder the 32nd Division never had a chance it that was the attitude of ranking generals in our army. Fortunately we have much better regular army authority than General Bullard on the conduct of American Negro troops in war. Col. James A. Moss, a graduate of West Point, who served 18 years with colored troops and commanded the 372nd Infantry in France, says "If properly trained and instructed the colored man makes a good a soldier as the world has ever seen. The history of the Negro in all of our wars, including our Indian campaigns, shows this. He is by nature of a happy disposition, he is responsive and tractable, he is very amenable to discipline, he has faith and confidence in his leader, he possesses physical courage, all of which are valuable military assets." General Perning says, "I can not comment too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dan "According to General Bullard's own statement the 2nd DIVision was under his command and no other NEGro soldiers of cowardice and inefficiency because of the mishandling of the attack, so it is fact that they were only called on to attack on November 10th and 11th AFC, and not the Army and accomplished as much as any other division in that attack, one of the worst attacks on the aid of some white troops which had gotten into a tight place. If the attack had been made to the aid of the Army should be placed elsewhere than in this division when the First Army in 1938, there might have been some reason to reproach the colored recruits, but in the November offensives the NEGro soldiers on poor leadership there was plenty of time to reorganize the entire outfit. If it were deemed necessary "In my judgment this unwarranted attack on Negro soldiers and charging them with cowardice is withholding" (Continued on Page B. 8).

INTERMEDIATE AND NENOR TOP-10. The Growth of the Early Church: The History of the Gospel in the Middle-To-Know the Gospel inward. As usual, the methods employed in the review largely depend upon the information they are suggested; First: The biographical. This is the most important, always be used to advantage, pupils of all ages are interested in the study of persona, Peter, Paul, Stephen, Philip and John. They are always interested in characters in the quarter's lessons. These may be assigned to members of the class, to a view of a brief biographical sketch be prepared and read to the class. Second: The summary method. This is the principal method of each lesson with statement of the leadings teachings Lines 1-On the Day of Pentecost, the risen and ascended Christ sent the promise of the Father causing the death of Jesus to qualify them to be witnesses of His death and resurrection to all the world. Third: The healing of the lame man is able to make strong a man who can heal thoroughly advertised the miracle. Those who have experienced the life of God cannot help but make Lesson III.—The church is God's dwelling place. Since it is His dwelling place it is as holy as the holy place in the sanctuary. The judgment which befell Ananias and Sapphirs proves that God will not allow the hypocrite to escape His judgment. Lesson IV.—The behavior of Stephen proves that the risen Christ is able to sustain His witnesses, even while they are sealing their testimony with their blood. His standing shows His active interest in His disciples, and that He welcomes home to heaven those who are faithful. Lesson V.—The experiences of Daniel and his companions show that total abstinence pays. Lesson VI.—Philip, the only man in the New Testament called evangelist, is in the energy of the Spirit preaching the Word and winning men to Christ. Lesson VII.—The conversion of Saul, the bitter enemy of Christ, is an illustrious example of what the revelation of Christ in His glory can do, and also illustrates the method of the conversion of Israel. Lesson VIII.—After Saul's conversion, he straightway preached Christ as the Son of God. Those who are really saved know whom they have believed. Lesson IX.—The stupendous miracle wrought by the risen Christ at the hands of Peter proved that the gospel lost none of its power by being preached abroad. Lesson X.—When Christ would learn the middle way of martial discipline, he gave to Cornelius and Peter each a video. When the gospel was offered to Cornelius, the crowd came upon them as at Pentecost. Lesson XI.—Before the foreign minister enterprise was launched, the missionaries were listed at Antioch. The Holy Spirit established this strategic center and established the missionaries at Antioch. The Holy Spirit Lesson XI.—The risen Christ hears the prayers of the church and sends His angels to deliver His faithful seren The Best Judges Us Our attitude concerning the great value, the great reality, the great perseverance, the great power of our own minds or to the minds of others to believe in them; and not to defend them, or to defend them to defend them or to argue for them, but simply to give them opportunity to help others, too, to give that opportunity. The best, then, judges us righteously. Better Than Guilt Better it were, that all the miseries which nature owes were once at once, and that the future is not lost Faith. Let Us not Loss Faith. Earl Bailour said, not long ago: "Let us not fear that the future is gorget to be lose glorious than the past. Let us not fear that the future is multiply upon us until we are almost overwhelmed. But let us not lose faith." For Truth's Sake To love truth for truth's sake is the principal part of human perfection in this word and the seed-plot of all other virtues. — John Lecko.

For years Dr. Lines, with Messrs. Kuntz and Cohen, guided republican party affairs in the state and finally Dr. Lines was appointed collector of internal revenue.

O-ATLANTA BASE BALL GAMES Three thousand fans saw some real big league baseball Sunday afternoon when the New Orleans Ads went down in defeat in both games of the double-header when they faced the Atlanta Black Crackers at Heineman Park. In the first game Gilbert pitched like a veteran and, barring two costly errors, received fine support. The Ads have improved wonderfully and the crowd seemed to appreciate it. The white fans were out in large numbers as the returns of the New Orleans-Mobile game were received. Manager Strickland of the Atlanta team has a fast set of good playing and hard hitting boys, mostly from the colleges of that city. F. A. Mattox, a one-armed wonder, is the star of the Black Crackers and his sensational catch of Gilbert's fly to the left fence was a spectacular performance that set the grandstand wild. He was to have pitched Saturday and Monday, but rain entered with both games. In the second game Sunday Manager Caufield took Jones out of the box after the first inning as the Crackers seemed to have had his number from the start, though he was doing nice work. Labat did some pretty pitching, but the Atlanta boys, after having beaten both Memphis and Birmingham, were determined to keep up their winning streak. The line-up in the first game, little changed in the second, was: The scores for the two games were: Ads ..... 000 001 000—1 Crackers ..... 000 200 010—3 Batteries: Black Crackers—Henderson and Price.

NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS. —ROOSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1925 GENERAL BULLARD SHOOTS THE BULLI battalions during future martial conflicts. Bullard was connected with the 92nd Division of the American Expeditionary Forces, and states that the colored officers under him, as well as soldiers of color, were a monumental joke, or words to him. Alabama, where a colored man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect and having been cultured and trained in the Southern University of Negropholia, graduating cum magna laude, it is not surprising to The Informer to see General Bullard vainly trying to uphold the traditions of his alma mater and section and to show that there is something after all in a list for, verily, General Bullard is certainly "shooting the bull". In the German officers often commented upon the heroism赦idity of the "black devils" (so dubbed by the boches behind hell could not stop the colored troopers), to say nothing both and other American commanders and high military officers these colored soldiers were as cowardly and inefficient as General Bullard paints them in his "bull"-sheviki syndicated articles, then why would General John J. ("Black Jack") Pershing, highest military officer in A. E. F. Durham, put prizes high for their military skill and dependent on the field battle. Another thing: If General Bullard remained as far from the lines of battle as it is reported some other officers did during the military clashes with the Germans, then the poor fellow was unable to see, not hardly with highly magnified field glasses, just as the German officer described and not as one having authority and first-hand information. From the fall of Crispus Attucks on Boston Common in 4776 to the storming of the fortress of Metz in the World War, this General Bullard is the first high American officer to ever charge the enemy in the battle of Metz and afraid to acquit himself on the battlefield as a true soldier. Despite the fact that he was a slave during the Revolutionary War, the set-to of 1812 with England and the Civil War, the Negro temporarily cast aside his chains and fetters and helped to liberate America from British oppression and to save the union from disunion. Even granting for argument's sake what General Bullard charges is true, in whole or in part, who is responsible for such conduct on the part of the colored officers and soldiers? What does General Bullard's own home state contribute to institutional, moral and military development and training of its colored troops? Does the general expect "boys" (that what he and his all his called Negro men in the South) to acquit themselves on the firing line like men? Why does Brew Ballard" and expect so much of the Negro soldiers whom it came to shooting and killing those white men (German), when right in Alabama, Bullard's home state, they will lynch a colored man or woman for daring to merely question the veracity of a white man or white woman, or for walking too near them on a sidewalk, or for driving too close to white people in the street. What youths have had access to West Point, Annapolis and the other military schools of the country, while only four combatant units in the regular army have the only openings for the colored youths of the country; save during recent years when New York and Illinois permitted the organization of the Negro youths to serve as national guardmen. Only a blustering and bull-shooting swachh-buller would fly to print and condemn officers and soldiers, even The Houston Informer South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper PLANS EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS M. A. S. H. L. MIMS, Pres. Retrieve Oil' Corp. CROSS TIMBERS TEST REPORTED IN GAS The Retrieve Oil Corporation's widow on the Sid Westheimer dairy farm and on nine miles north of Houston, and on two miles south of Houston, be road. It reported to have drilled into a lively gas strata between 600 and 800 feet, and that a slightly shut down to set casings, and 700 feet of 12-inch is now being set on the ground, a short distance from the site of the well. wethemen farm, which was drilled to about 800 feet; The test was located and is being drilled by the Retrieve Oil Corporation, a company with three of three tests of 3600 feet in the hope of thoroughly exploiting the under lease—Houston Chancellle. (Editor's note: The Retrieve Oil Corporation is a colored concern. The company is the most eminent geologists of the state, who stated to an Informer reporter during the week that his company in his own command, without some tangible evidences to substantiate his charges and allegations; for it requires little, if any, brains to villify, condemn and anathematic people, especially when said people are considered and regarded as the "underdog," and when such denouncement and journalistic visection strike upon them, the case in the South when jumping on and snapling the Negro Being such a true son and typical protege of the South, our General Bullard just could not resist the ever-present temptation to "give the 'niggers' hell," and the poor, misinformed and misguided army officer—who even saw service with the colored troops—was forced to surrender his snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, after the white officers and soldiers had beaten a haスタy and "strategic" retreat—showed lack of familiarity with his subject matter, judging by the manner in which former white officers in the A. E. F. are condemning Bullard and resenting his slurs and aspersions cast upon American Negro soldier as a combatant and commissioned officer. MRS. CATO GADDY ND MORE Mr. Cato Gaddy, one of Houston's well known and highly respected city officials, has the family residence in Chanveyville, the end coming as a sequel to a long career of most eminent informers who stated to an Informer reporter during the week that his company Really, if General Bullard were as dense and ignorant in military tactics and maneuvers as he is about the heroism, bravery and efficiency of the colored American soldier, it is small marvel that men under him would show cowardice, inefficiency and ignorance! Like priest, like people, like general, like officers and soldiers! Why this belated effort to try to discredit colored commissioned officers and soldiers in combat units in the late European martial holocaust, and that by a man who owes his life today to colossal warfare, is a matter of fact, the reverse is the case; for numerous colored fighters and entire regiments were decorated and cited for bravery and heroism under galingen fire by both France and America, and some of the most daring and heroic exploits of the war are the stories of these soldiers. It is too late now for General Bullard, General "Bull," or General "Bull-sheikil" to endeavor to dim the lustre of the colored soldier's achievements on the battlefields of Europe or to take from him any of his merited honors, which he made possible by his struggles on the shot-ridden and sanguinary battlefields and in the safety and seclusion of some general's underground tent. The Informer does not even dare to assume the position that some few colored soldiers may not have violated their oath and obligation and demonstrated that they were "yellow" under fire; they were not brave enough to carry out unanticipated units, then we are perfectly willing for General Bullard to have his little say and get all the glory and satisfaction imaginable and possible out of his "bull" story about the cowardice, incompetence and inefficiency of the Negro officer and soldier in the World and particularly those connected with his division, the 92nd Selah! plans to extend its operations into two new semi-permanent fields: the North Carolina Oil Corporation and the North section and the Guadalupe territory near Seagull, Mr. Mimu also said that the company has offices in the Odd Fellow Temple (suite 415), the Odd Fellow Temple (suite 415), and without pay; that the company declared and paid its first dividend during the year; and that the company, Mr. Mimu, "retribs Oil Corporation in the oil business and not in Wednesday evening, June 24. Miss Robbie L. Broyes, daughter of Judge Robert L. Broyes, former Houson resident, is a member of the graduating class. MRS. CATO GADDY NO MORE Mrs. Cato Gaddy, one of Houston's hospitals, had her respected cottage, recognized by the family residence in Chanvilles, the end coming as a sequel to a host of her own stories. From Bethel Baptist Church, of deceased was a member, Thursday GRADUATES INFORMOGRAMS Governor Ferguson, in issuing 45 pardons to colored cavies on the minds of indiscriminately fired on the minds of 18 million, the full meaning of "manipulation." A matter of 200 miles, more or less, should not stand in the way of the adventurer Amundsen, who has been involved in the action, after being lost for the last two months. Doc Cook, who was proved, came back with slowing progress, yet still fled, while in truth he had not been anywhere near 500 miles of it. Amundsen is entirely too modest. After many attempts by federal authorities in Galveston to "dry up" what was left of the ship, tried out. Among those served with citations may be贤 and even the bay is still as wet as usual. Another polar expedition set out for the "top of the world" last from Wisconsin, a little port of Maine. The governor of Maine has already laid claim to all and all lands discovered by this, the McMullen and stand law will obtain in these lands. If so, we hereby renounce all claims against the government by right of previous discovery. Won't it be a great day in the history of this grand and glorious Southland when each headline as is, "Hurricane Katrina" or "read Woman Hurt in Crash" as is used in cases when human beings are mentioned? It appears that our daily papers begin the Juneteenth at sunset on the 18th and extend it to sunrise on the 20th, when it comes to choreologizing for the celebration of Juneteenth. For their information we wish to note that Juneteenth consists of a celebration and all we can do is not please don't give us credit for doing. Senator Robert M. La Follette, "Tighting Bob" of Wisconsin, fought against the governor he met the "grim reaper" who had lowed his ten thousand. The senator had drawn so heavily upon his vitality that when he met the "old enemy" he won't in fight condi- And now it develops that we won't have the opportunity to witness a "not linguistic bout between and Willis, after all. The matter has all been thrashed out through the malls, Fort Worth and Dallas were so hot that it is said two railway postal clerks are carrying handged hands. So many people, both white and black, have a peculiar notion about the time the columns of the dailies have been full of criticisms on the print industry of crime, and whether said news didn't increase crime and criminals. It was the grand secretary of the P. and A. M. of Tezak, criticizing the colored newspapers for publishing the news of A. M. Newspaper, when they ceased to print the news, cease to be worthy of publication, should lose the respect of the public, as they usually do. Better publisher a newspaper in a McDonald, BILL. Just read an article from the pain of an editor of a race of people who were killed in the civilization, culture and refinement, in which he severely criticizes the race of the people who were killed in the civilization. He says the methods of forcing friends and relatives by custom to follow the corpse and to take hours away from the dead become a custom with us to spend not less than five hours (and we know that we should not spend more) to pay our final tribute of respect to the dead. We quote "Why not start a campaign for private burials? It is an natural for men to want to be buried with their witnesses by owned by them only two or three diRECTly concerned therein. Why should he be made a public parade? Let us die in peace and privacy." Again we quote from another white author who says that the same thing, with a clear concience and a full knowledge of its meaning, should be our brother in black are so solicitous of the words of the Houston Post-Dispatch: "We honor Negroes in reference to their celebration of "Juneteenth," which usually is accompanied by isolated black men." Thousands of Negroes celebrated Friday, and so far as police records OPINIONS Cong. Fish Cong. Fish (Continued from Page One) or a deliberate conspiracy to malign and discredit American Negro soldiers and the Negro race or it was written without knowledge and conclusion hastily or eagerly jumped at from prejudice without a careful investigation of all the facts regarding the training, experience and conduct in battle of all the colored American soldiers in the American expeditionary forces. "If anyone questions the bravery of the American colored soldier let me relate the story of Sergeant Butler of Co. L. 369th Infantry, who pursued a German raiding party into No Man's Land after they had captured a white American officer and four or five西部 soldiers and who alone and unaided except by the small machine gun he carried, freed the white officer and the colored soldiers, and killed a half dozen of the German raiding party, and seriously wounded the German officer who later died in our trenches. That is the true account of one trained and experienced colored noncommissioned officer acting on his own initiative and what one can do all could have done, if given the opportunity and properly trained and led." "Let no man question the bravery of the colored soldiers, for he either does not know what he is talking about or he is prejudiced." "I do not know General Bullard who personally received with him, but I just believe that those seven hundred colored soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice, the five thousand who were wounded and killed, the four hundred armed forces of the United States, I wish to take this opportunity to proclaim the bravery of the cowardice against the American Negro soldier.
