Our Negro Soldiers
- Brilliant War Record
; the Hottest Fighting in the Ar-
. gonne and Els¢where-Eatire Bat-
talon Got Croix de Guerre for
Heroie Conduct
‘The New York Times of Feb, 9 pub
lishes the fillowing account of the Neg
ro troops in tuhen war: “Negro sol
diers made a record as fighters oin this
war as they did in the Spanish-Amer
ican and Civil wars. Eightng for the
first time on the soil of che world’s most
famous battle fleld—Europe—anid
for the first time brought into
direct comparison -with the best
soldies of Germany, Great Britan and
France, they showed themselvsa able
to hold thelr own where the tests of
courage, endurance and aggressiveness
were most severe.
Colored troops fought valiantly al
Chateau Thierry, Soissons, on the Ves
Je, in Champagne, in the Argonne, and
in the final attacks in the Metz region.
‘Tue entire first battalion of the 367th
Infantry, “Buffaloes” was awarded
the Croix de Guerre for heroism on the
they receivd thiri Liatesripshgsmfiithe
drive on Metz. Most remarkable of all
they received their baptism of battle in
this attack; at the start they won hon
ors which veterans of many conflicts
have failed to capture.
In previous engagements of the war,
for distinguished service, three colored
regiments as units were awarded the
Croix deGuerre, which bestows on each
member the right to wear the coveted
badge. When the fighting stopped the
|Negro troops were nearest the Rhine.
Not until now bas the story as a
whole of the part played by our Negro
troops in France been available. The
total number of Negro combat troops
was 42,000. These consisted of the 92
division, commanded by Maj. General
Chas. G. Ballou, and four regiments
of th Provisional 93rd Division. To de
seribe the colored man as a fighter in a
war, which because of the terrible wea
pons used, called for more pure nerve
than any other war, three ways present
themselves: to show the Negro in indi
yidual exploits, then in a regiment, en
gaged separately with white troops, and
finally, to show him in battle in a
division entirely composed of men of
his own race.
Negro as Individual Fighter
Here is au individual explait:
, The 368th Infantry, Colored, fought
inthe Argonne. It became necessary to
send a runner with a message to the
left flank of the American firing line
The way was acioss an open field swept
by‘heavy enemy machine gun fire.
Volunteers ‘were called for. Private
Edward Saunders of Company I re-
sponded. Lefore he had gone far a
shell cut him down. As he fell he cried
to his comrades.
“Some one come and get this message,
Iam wounded.”
Lieut. Ropert 1, Gampbell of the same|
company sprang to the rescue, He
dashed across the shell swept space,
picked up the wounded private, and
with the Germans fairly hailing bullets
around him, carried his man back to
the American lines,
For the valor shown hoth were Sted
or the Distinguished Service Cross, and
Hfeut, Campbell in addition was recom !
nended for 1 Captaincy.
Another single detail taken aut
his same company, '
Jom Taker, having volunteered. |
was taking a message thru heavy
shell fire to another part of his Une|
A shell-thruck his hand, tearing away |
part of it, but the hero, unfaltering,
ielivered the message. °
He was asked why he did not seek
aid for his wounds before completing |
the journey.
“I thought the message might con-
ain information that might save lives”
was the answer,
Gnder the same Lieut. Robert L.
Campbell, a few colored soldiers, arm
ed only with their rifles, trench knives
and ‘hand grenades, picked up from
shell holes along the way, were mov
ing along over a road in tho Chatean
Thierry sector, when suddenly, their
ourse was crossed by the firing of a
seman machine gun. They tried to
locate it by the direction of the bul-
sibic, and pull the rope, maging the.
rs shake, as thomen were crawl
ing thru it. The purpose was to draw
direct fire from the machine gun, and
by watching, locate its position. |
The ruse worked. Lieut, 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 staken more violent’
ly by the secret rope. The Germans,
their eyes focused on it, poured a hail
of bullets into it. Lieut. Campbell
gave the signal. The flanking party
dashed up, and with their hand gren
hades killed four of the boches, and
captured the other three—also the ma
chine gun.
In the larger bodies of colored
troops, from the regiment to the divi
sion, the participation of the Negro
soldiers naturally divides iteelf into
two parts, on account of the way they
were sent over, The Negro division
composed of drafted men, did not get
into action until right at the last, but
individual regiments did. The
four regiments “that went over first
were composed, of vld National Guard
Units recruited up to the required quo
ta. These werethe 369th, 370th and
the 871st and 372nd Infantry Regiments
afterwards organized into the provision
al 93rd-division. Until just before the
last days of the figkting, however, they
were brigaded with French troopy.
‘Three of these regiments, the 369th,
371st and 372nd have received the high
honor of the Croix de Guerre from the
French Government for distinguished
service. Sixty one officers and men.
of the 370th have been similarly deco
rated.
Fighting Beside th® Frene
Here is the fighting record of one of
these regiments sandwiched among the
‘French forees—the 372nd. Jt was the
first to go over. Practically all ‘its line
officers, as well as privates were col-
ered.
They arrived in France on April 14,
and went into training with the French
on April 28. On June 6, the 372nd was
sent to the trenches, just west of Ver—
dun, just west of the famous battle
swept hill 304 and sections at Four de
Paris and Vauquois. On ‘Hill 304 thous
ands of French and German soldiers
had fallen, as the batteline swung back
and forward and that this hill was giv
en to the Negroes to hold, shows that
as soldiers, they kad already won the
confidence of the French.
‘The regiment's first engagement was
in the Champague sector with Montoir
as its objective. Here came the ral
test: The colored men were eager to
get into the fight. They cheered and
sang when the announcement came that
their chance had arrived, —but the as
tion was—hack of their enthusinsm had
théy the staying qualities drilled into
European troops thru centuries of train
ing in the science of warfare?
The answer was that some of the},
heaviest and most effective fighting of
the day was done by the Negro repi—.
ment. From June 6 to to Sept. 10 the:
372nd was stationed in the bloody Ar
zonne Forest. On tke night of Sept. |
95 they were suntmoned to take part in |
he Argonne offensive and were in that
erriffic drive one of the decisive engag
nents of the war from Sept. 26 to Oct.

ment won the coveted Croix de Guerre.
. During the battle they aided in cap
turing 600 prisoners, fifteen big guns,
twenty minenwerfers, rounded up an ¢
-Lomous umount of engineering material
Jarge supplies of artillery munition and
brought down three German airplanes.
For thew achievements, they were at
once cited for bravery and efliciency in
the general orders issued by the French
Commander. The casualty list in the
22nd in this and the previous fighting
carried 500 names of men killed, wound
ved und gassed.
Another regiment's record, that
of the 369th, formerly the 15th New
‘York, commanded by General Hay~
wool, ¢x—publie service commission
-er—reflects as high a credit on the
soldierly qualities of the Negro race.
The 369th was in the champagne of
fensive as a part of the Fourth army
commanded by General Gouraud, «2
few miles west of the Arzonne For
rest. These re Colonel Haywood’s
own words, describing the drive that
tried out his men. . |
“At 5:25 A. M. the assault was
launched, an assault that kept ‘as-|
sialting so far as our division wag
concerned for twelve days, in which
ent and climbed thru acres and acres
of barbed wire entanglementy
stormed bluffs, ridges and hills for
14 kilometers, all the facing stub
torn and terribly effective artillery
and machine, gun fire.. :
When we crossed the Dormois Riv
er, where it widened into a swamp,
the boche was shelling industriously
and it looked like 2 hail storm on the
surface of the water. I saw ske'ls
freak from concussion when they
hit the water the same as when they
bit the ground. Much of the time
we had to lean over and shout in each
other’s ears to he heard. .
At the end of twelve days we came
eut with our division, what was left
ef us which included twenty offi-
cers.” .
At the very last the 369th won an
other distinction. Te following is
from the “Stars and Stripes,” the or
gan of the American troops in France;
“The furthest north at 11 o'clock
(when the armistice went into effect)
on the front of the two armies was
held at the extreme American left, up
Sedan way, by the troops of the 77th
Division. Tke furthest east; the near
est to the Rhine, was held by those
Negro troops who used to make up the
old New Yok Fifteenth, and have lony
been brigaded with the French. They
were in Alsace, and their line ran thro
Thann und across the railway that
ieads to Colmar.”

vance that the list of casualties consid
ering the rain of shelis, was small.
Their objective for the day was Bois
Frehaut. Picked Moroccan and Senc
fulese troops of the French, striking
for the same point, in an odd competi
tion of colored races on this day, were
the first to arrive. The Germans, see
ing what was up, were pouring Bois
Frehaut with a heavy fire. It became
too hot for the Moroccans and the Sene
galese. They were forced to retreat.
Were our colored fighters really go
ing to “seo it through?” The fight
.was now getting hotter and hotter, for
the Germans were bringing their full
resistance to bear. The 56th Regi-
nent was forced to withdraw but not un
til ufter they had stood up and borne
n heavy loss. The 1st Battalion
of the" Buffaloes,” commanded by Maj.
Charles L, Appleton of New York with
colored company commanders and
Lieutenants, was called upon to hold
the Germans at bay while the hard hit
3Cth retreated. Here, in confronting
the enemy with an iron resistance, the
“Ruffaloes” won their Croix de Guerre.
A little later, Bois Frehaut was taken
by the 92nd. The Germans directed
against the place a most murderous fire,
but there was uo driving out the colored
men. ‘he Stars and Stripes said of
this fight:

THE CONQUERING HEROES
The return of the two most distinguished units of Negro warriors from the battlefields of Europe—the famous Eighth Illinois and he gallant New York Fifttenth—and the brilliant and enthusiastic welcome celebration given them by the proud citizens of their home towns, Chicago and New York, marks another notable chapter in the story of the American Negro's participation in the world war.
The "distinguished service" badges, the war crosses (croix de guerre) and other insignia denoting harlie services, worn by the men, tell, eloquently, the story of the achievements of these men. The detailed accounts of their charges, their courage under deadly machine gun fire, their native skill in skirmish and outpost duty, their uncanny escapades and their undaunted courage in open attack, and their patience and man liness in all army routine,—all these attributes which mark the real soldier, the genuine patriot,—will illumine the pages of the world history.
Col. Haywood, commander of the famous troops, has said that he "Saw no better soldiers," than these men; and he had seen these men in all the desperate situations of modern warfare.
New York and Chicago turned out en masse, in honor of their illustrious colored troops, gave them fully and ungrudgingly of their highest appreciation and pride.
And, now, the people of this city are planning an elaborate and hearty wel come to those of our own who "went forth to do battle," in the name of a great cause and a great country; and well may all the people fall in line, wholeheartedly, unselfishly, unstintedly, to do honor to a nation's defenders and protectors.
The churches, the schools, the societies, associations and organizations of all sorts, without regard to sect or class or persuasion are fusing their ef forts in one grand occasion, to honor, to revere, to memorialize, to immortalize those who saw a great principle and were willing to die for it.
MAY 8, 1919
May 5th, is getting to be a day to conjure with. It is auspicious and memorable in Savannah, because it was on this lucky day last year, when the great War Savings Campaign parade was pulled off. Twenty five thousand Negro men, women and children were in line, in step, of one accord, of one mind. The occasion was dazing in its magnitude, overwhelming in its response and inspiration, brilliant of spectacle and running over of patriotism and nation al spirit.
This occasion like none other represented the Savannah Negro in all his better and loftier aspects. It represented his loyalty to the nation, his unity and solidarity of race, his strength, his capacity for organization and system, his self reverence and self respect.
And now the Committee of One Hundred on the Home. Coming Celebrate has selected this significant date for a kindred ceremonial, a demonstration of the pride and appreciation of a people for its conquering heroes returning home.
It is a most happy selection. It suggests the great day of a year ago and will gain strength from that memorable connection. It is a wise choice; and the people will be anxious to make this anniversary rival in every way the brilliant day of a year ago. The general committee has gone about its work in commendable fashion, in spite of the flu ban handicap, and it has an effective, democratic plan of rousing the whole city and enlisting the whole people in the job of magnifying this patriotic occasion.
A parade, speaking, a banquet, organization of the soldiers. This makes up a worthy and deserved program for the boys returned from overseas. We
are looking forward to another banner day.
The people of all churches, and all other organizations of every sort, are represented on the general committees and it is believed the celebration will move the people of this city as it has never been moved before.
PUBLIC JUDGMENT
Individuals often go wrong. Groups of individuals, in times of excitement and periods of high enthusiasm, leave the bounds of logic and reason. But it is very rare that the public opinion and judgment goes wrong. "To err is human," but the mature judgment of the public mind is superhuman and ap proaching infallible.
When reason is dethroned, in impas sloned hate and vengeance, man kills, destroys, assasinates, wrecks reputation, property, organization and life. When the mind is rerangd, the spiritual balance upset, the human equipose untethered, in the fury of envy and greed and despair, the physical entity or being is not man, but animal, altogether, unleashed, running amuck, rioting onward toward self destruction.
Public opinion and judgment, the studied and matured thought and attitude of the average people, is the safety valve, a check and stabilizer, an anchor "to the windward." And the public opinion is just and fair, whether endorsing or condemning.
The public, however, in its good judgment, is interested in advancement, first, last and always. And when the few morbid, seem to clamor and feed on that which is noisome and stench brewing, the appeal has been directed low, beneath the range of the good, old, reliable and sober thinking and visioning public. The gunman has misjudged his game.
The public will resent any mis-estimate of its ideals. It will punish the makers-of low bids for its purchase; it will inflict its penalties, in all the legitimate and certain ways which it may; and will not forget.
COMMENDS TRIBUNE EDITORIALS
S. C. Johnson, Editor
Dear Mr. Johnson.
I wish to thank you for your kindness in sending me the Tribune every week. With pleasure do I read it on Monday mornings. It brings back memories of the five happy years that I spent in the good old city. Not only do I enjoy reading the local news about the colored people of Savannah, but I al so enjoy reading your splendid editorials, which are so timely, strong and conducive to the moral and material welfare of the community. May God bless your noble work. The only week colored paper in Macon was discon tinned owing to the death of Mr. Pullins. Not only was the publication of the Standard stopped, but the fine job printing establishment, organized by Mr. Pullins was closed up.
Keep up you good work. The days of "Reconstruction" are at hand. They will be great days for the colored ra and its leaders. Thanking you again for your kindness, and wishing you and your co workers much success in 1919, I am, Sincerely yours, Rev. Jas. A. Dahlent

France, January 3, 1919.
Dearest Mother' and Sister:
Your letter was received this morning and found me happy and well. I hope that you are still well and enjoying the blessings of life. I had a letter from sister Ethel and you don't know how happy it made me feel. I am with a fine bunch of fellows, all being very manly and Christians. We hold prayer meeting often and the meetings are both interesting and elevating. Of course we are all looking forward to and hoping to be home soon that we may again see our loved ones face to face. I have escaped being hurt in this awful fighting and we thank the Christian friends for their many prayers in our behalf. I am sending my best regards to the Hareka Club and the Y. G. E. I hope to see you all again when I will be able to tell you of the many interesting things I have seen and experienced since I have been in this country. Oh, I can imagine what a jolly time we shall have when we shall all be able to sit around and talk together again. The box mother sent for my Christmas I enjoyed very much. I had a very nice New Years but I did not forget to think about you all at home. I trust that you too had a Time Christmas and a happy New Year. Hoping that it won't be long before I shall see you all and trusting that everything is going well with you,
