We should clip it out and paste it in our scrap book for future reference.—The Editor. "A PROPHECY FULFILLED." Nine months ago in this column we discussed the Negro's chance to win enviable distinction in the great war. Nearly 100,000 Negro soldiers—several hundred of them officers—then were serving or training for service in the new army. And of one Negro regiment—the now famous 367th, the "Buffaloes"—Major General Bell himself had said he would lead them in battle "against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome." At that time we called attention to prevalent predictions that the Negro was "too lazy, too emotional, too unresponsive to discipline to be counted upon as a fighting factor," and thus expressed our view of the matter: "We believe few, if any, of these soldiers have any other feeling than that they would prefer to be on the firing line. We have no doubt that such as are sent there will account for themselves in the same fine way that Negro fighters always have. We believe the American Negro is going to perform a part in this war which will far outshine any previous service of his. "It is a wonderful chance for a people to evidence appreciation of a service rendered it, and we think this chance will be eagerly and admirably used." Before the signing of the armistice 42,000 Negro troops had gone into combat. At Chateau-Thierry, Soissons, on the Vesle, in Champagne and the Argonne and in the final attacks in the Metz region these singing soldiers—and how they sang!—were in the thick of it, In some of the swiftest and bloodiest battles of the entire war they were given full opportunity to prove their mettle as defenders of freedom, and the bare facts of their answer to this challenge suffice to silence forever any doubts as to their courage or effectiveness as fighters. The four regiments of former national guard units—the first to go overseas—had not been in France three months before one of them—the 372d—was picked for the Verdun region, to occupy the famous battle-sweet Hill 304. On that exposed ground, where thousand of French and German soldiers had fallen as the line swayed back and forth, these American Negroes, fresh from their training with the French, were placed to hold the Hun tide. Their first engagement was in a drive for Montoir. Here came the real test, as one military observer has said. And, according to this authority, they were eager to get into the fight. "They cheered and sang when the announcement came that their chance had arrived. But the question was: back of their enthusiasm had they the staying qualities drilled into European troops through centuries of training in the science of warfare? "This they answered by doing some of the heaviest and most effective fighting of the day. From June 6 to September 10 they were stationed in the bloody Argonne forest. On the night of September 25 they were summoned to take part in the Argonne offensive, and were in that terrific drive—one of the decisive engagements of the war—until October 7. "In this nine days' battle the Negroes not only proved their fighting qualities in an ordeal such as men have rarely been called upon to face, but these qualities, in deadly striking power and stubborn resistance in crises, stood out with such distinction that the whole regiment was awarded the coveted croix de guerre." In that engagement the Negro soldiers captured 600 prisoners and thirty-five guns and rounded up an enormous amount of engineering material and ammunition. They also brought down three enemy airplanes. And at a cost of some 500 men in killed, wounded and gassed. At the same time another Negro regiment, the 369th, under Colonel Hayward, was winning deathless fame in action. And there is no telling how far these fearless fighters might have pressed on had not hostilities ceased when they did, for at 11 o'clock on the morning of November 11 they were the furthest east of all the allied fighting forces—the nearest to the Rhine! These two instances are not exceptional. All the way through, wherever a Negro regiment or division went into action, the result was the same. Three whole regiments were given the croix de guerre as units—carrying the right for each member to wear this badge of honor—and like recognition was accorded an entire battalion of the "Buffaloes." And some of the individual exploits cited are thrilling enough for any youth. One, in particular, deserves widespread: "Lieutenant Campbell, of the 368th Infantry, and five of his men, armed only with their rifles, trench knives and hand grenades, picked up from the shell holes along the way, were moving over a road in the Chateau-Thierry sector. Suddenly their course was crossed by the firing of a German machine gun. They tried to locate it by the direction of the bullets, but could not. To their right, a little ahead, lay a space covered with thick underbrush; just back of it was an open field. "Lieutenant Campbell, who knew by the direction of the bullets that his party had not been seen by the Germans, ordered one of his men, with a rope which they happened to have, to crawl to the thick underbrush, and tie the rope to several stems of the brush; then to withdraw as far as possible and pull the rope, making the brush shake as though men were crawling through it. The purpose was to draw direct fire from the machine gun and, by watching it, locate its position. "The ruse worked. Lieutenant Campbell then ordered three of his men to steal out and flank the machine gun on one side, while he and two others moved up and flanked it on the other side." "The brush was shaken more violently by the secret rope. The Germans, their eyes focused on the brush, poured a hail of bullets into it. Lieutenant Campbell gave the signal. The flanking party dashed; with their hand grenades they killed four of the Boes and captured the remaining three—also the machine gun." For Diseases of the Skin. Nearly all diseases of the skin such as eczema, tetter, salt rheum and barber's itch are characterized by an intense itching and smarting, which often makes life a burden and disturbs sleep and rest. Quick relief may be had by applying Chamberlain's Salve. It always the itching and smarting almost instantly. ALBIA NEWS.

That he is a real person, and not merely an attribute or emanation of God, is clear from the numerous passages in the Bible which describe him as exercising the acts, an outline of the morning subject.

Giliad, Ohio: The editor had an interesting ex- perience some time ago, when 2 young gentleman came to this office ard asked for a copy of the Morrow County Re- publican, He scrutinized it carefully when a copy was handed him, and then said: ‘‘Now I know!’? ‘What is it you are looking for??? we inquired. ‘*My wife sent me after a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy; and I forgot the name. I went to several stores and the clerks named over every- thing in the line on the shelf except “‘Chamberlain’s.’ I'll try again, and I'l never go home without Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy.’? The Republi- can would suggest to the proprietors of stores, that they post their clerks, and never let them substitute. Customers lose faith in stores where substituting is permitted, to say nothing-of the in- justice to makers of good goods and the disappointment of customers.
