THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER FRANCE WANTS NEGRO SOLDIERS Foreign Government Recognizes the Ability of Black Fighters. VOLUME XI. This Week Kans FRANCE WANT NEGR Foreign Government Ability of Bla FRANCE WANTS N GROWS Paris, France, Aug 6 — [Exclusive Dispatch] Plans of the new ministry of war because the formation of a French Negro army of not fewer than 200,000 men, drawn mostly on the description system from the French West African colonies, but including about 16,000 Negroes already under arms and 4,000 or 5,000 forming a colonial militia without regular army standing. This plan, which originates with Colonel Mangin the expert on African matters has obtained the approval of General Brun the master of War, and will be placed before Parliament as soon as the result opens. Col Biange says that his experience ha, convened him that the Negro makes an excellent soldier, his staying qualities and his loyalty being at least equal to those of the white, while his courage never has been questioned "In France, where we make no differences, oial or otherwise, because of the color of the skin." said Col Mangin. The Negro always has developed rapidly. It he has a special love for show and a melodramatic desire to figure amid moving surroundings no blame attaches to him. That is merely one of the qualities of his race, marking him as we are marked by other peculiarities. "I say, let the persecuted American Negro or his comrades anywhere else, who are suffering from neglect, or inhuman distinctions. come to France and join our colored army. Here they will find a welcome an adequate living, a field for their peculiar abilities and great chances for the future." It is estimated that the cost of the Negro army will be $14,000,000 a year and that of the Arab army $15,000,000, but it this will help in a great measure to solve the military situation of the country, it is considered that these sums will not be too large to pay. Whilst the lamp holds out to turn the Negro can expect better times, better opportunities and better people to contend with. Now comes the great republic of France and wants 200,000 colored troops. Special favors will be given the American Negro. This is where you can be promoted to high position at good pay. The American white doesn't want to be fair and give the colored soldier a chance. If the American army officers were honest, upright and fair in their dealings with the colored soldier, he would recommend and encourage young colored men to enter West Point and Annapolis. They oppose this, and therefore the president and the congressmen refuse to recommend a colored man to either of these institutions supported by the government. We have a new commissioned officers in the army, one o whom, Major Young of the Ninth Cavaury, is a graduate of West Point He was the last one. The white man has seen to it that no others have ever entered that school. The other com- TOPEKA. KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 27, 1969. France wants colored soldiers, having learned of their service for Once Sam. Somebody will meet them some day when it will be too late. Colored men do not receive fair treatment in the army and navy and no little, insignificant Negro need tell us that they are. The signs are right that the colored man will be in demand. So let him prepare him sell for coming events. SPRINGFIELD, MO. Mrs William Bruce departed for Covington, Ky., Monday noon, to be with her daughter, Mrs. Mamie Bruce Davis.

Plummer and Benjamin Crow are spending the week in Kansas City, attending the Masonic Grand lodge. LINCOLN INSTITUTE. Summer school has just closed, the enrollment having only been 10. NUMBER 35 This was due partly to the fact that the teachers did not care to come where there was so much talk about changes, and partly to the fact that graduates of Lincoln are not compelled to attend grammar school. Those who attend can increase the grade of certificate and a teacher whose grade has been increased and subject to renewal twice does not care to spend the money every year attending institutes. Lincoln Institute is great school and Press Allen certainly must be a wonderful main to press it to the front in the face of so much opposition from some rather minded, self-appointed leaders. It is a very hard matter to build up a state school and keep up the standard where the only requisite for an appointment is to work up sentiment and join some faction that may be able to influence votes. Even wind schools put up a higher standard than that From recent observation it would seem that the chief business of the teachers hereafter will not be the mastery of the art of teaching, but rather the mastering of the art of flattering and fondling a set of world-be leaders who represent nothing and who do nothing for the good of the world, the flesh or the devil. The department of instrumental music has been abolished. Military instruction will be given this year. All students from Missouri will pay a fee of $4 a year; students from other states $21. Pres.

O But it takes some time to fill this space and show the hair of the little girl and starts to grow. During a few years of research, it was discovered to find something glorious in hair that not only makes it look good but also provides a dream to dress it with the perfect hair. It was a day in the summer that I washed it three times a day. I felt nervous and worried because of the hair and felt a growing concern about it. I was worried that it would flow through the hair. I was worried that it would grow and stop the hair at once from falling out or getting tangled. These are the first steps in the process, all of whom are being born in the new world, to learn the words I use for my goods coming from all parts of the world. The 11 times above are the most important of these observations. They cut were made from very personal photographs. I can see with short hair was taken before ever dreamed to do my discoveries. I see with the hot own slow the impost made after these tests.

DO not mistake this elegant toilet necessity for some of the cheaply made limitations. It is entirely different, as you will see by the pictures. The aluminum comb is easily detached from the steel bar, then after the bar is heated (as shown below) the comb goes back in place, the handle is turned and the Magic is ready for use.
