MANZO, GENERAL MANAGER 145 West Broad Street 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. '. In the nine days’ battle the Neg— oes did not only prova their fighting] . walities in an ordeal such as men have arely Deen called upon to face, but hese qualities in deadly striking power (Continued on Page 3) | &¢ Pg) N U-[| FE BECAUSE 1.

NEGRO SOLDIERS MAKE BRIL- LIANT WARK ~ RECORD (Continued from page 2) Ser ct once ge aes ean eee” NentseeaeWe Clee RR 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.” How Negro Division Fights Next, to sce a Negro division In ac tion: Z ‘The 92nd Division was composed of the 183rd Infantry Brigade, consisting of the 365th and 366th Infantry Rey! ments and the 350th Machine Gun Bat talion ; the 1S4th Infantry Brigade, com posed of the 367th and 368th Infantry Regiments and the 35rst Machine Gun | Rattalion; the 167th Artillery Brigade, consisting of the 349th, the 350th and the 351st Artillery Regiments; and the +49th Machine Gun Battalion, the 317th Trench Mortar Battalion, the 317th Engineers’ Regiment, the 317th Engi- neers’ Train, the 317th Ammunition Train, the 317th Supply Train, the 317th Train Headquarters, the 92nd Military Police Company; the 317th Sanitary Train, comprising the 365th, the 366th, tke 367th, the 368th Field and Hospital and Ambulance Compan jes. 600 of the officers of the divi sion were Negroes.

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: “Probably the hardest fighting done by any Americans in the final hour was that which engaged the troops of the 28, 92nd, Sist, 7th divisions of the Sec ond American® Army who launched 4 1215 ,East Gwinnett St, 5 rooms lot 37x80; $100 cash and balance $10 per month 509 East Chariton street, 2-story residence that you can buy for $250 cash; balance eusy.

Saturday, February 22, 1919 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.
