The Wisconsin Weekly Blade Col. Ballou Praises General Fitness of Negro Soldier to Lead and Command Men in United States Army VOL. II By Col. C. C. Ballou (Commanding Officer Negro Training Camp, Fort Des Moines). So much has been written about the 17 officer's training camps, that one can hardly hope to contribute any original ideas on the subject. The straw has been pretty well threshed over, furthermore the idea is simple and logical. National Camp. In addition to the 16 local training camps there was established a seventeenth, not local, but national. Its recruits were not drawn from one divisional area, but from the entire United States, and every one of them is a negro. The colored race constitutes more than 10 per cent of our population, and has, since the civil war, furnished more than its quota of fighting men of the regular army. At home or on foreign soil, the ranks of the colored regiments are always full, while the white regiments have with difficulty been maintained at peace strength. To question the valor of the colored soldier is to betray ignorance of history. To prove Fitness. But his opportunities for leadership have been limited to the grade of non-commissioned officer, and a few scattering commissions. This is the first opportunity given in his history to prove on an adequate scale his fitness or unfitness for command and leadership. At Fort Des Moines, Iowa, on June 15th, 1917, there assembled the largest body of educated negroes ever brought together in the world for a single purpose. They came there to strive to qualify for the higher responsibilities involved in the defense of our country, and to thus demonstrate the fitness of their race for citizenship in the fullest sense of the term. They were no ordinary lot of men, 200 were non-commissioned officers, sergeants, the pick of the old "noneom" of the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. The remainder was made up of men from almost every profession and vocation—lawyers, doctors, merchants, teachers, clergymen, all were represented. Their Responsibility. When they were sworn into the service of the United States, they were briefly reminded that a special responsibility devolved upon them, entirely above and beyond that involved in securing to the country a few hundred lieutenants and captains. It developed upon them to prove or disprove the availability of 11,000,000 of colored people for full participation in the great and responsible work of war. The success or failure of this camp would be accepted by the world it large as conclusive evidence in respect to that question. The old non-coms of the regular were also reminded of their special responsibility in helping the work along by being at all times living examples of the highest standards of soldierly de A NATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPINION AND CIRCULATION MILWAUKEE -- MADISON -- BELOIT portment, discipline and honor, and by working zealously in session in imparting the thousand details of a soldier's life and duties that can only be learned by experience, to the candidates from civil life. These old soldiers were distributed equally among the 14 companies composing the training regiment. Men are Loyal. Practically every man, soldier and civilian responded to this presentation of their duty with all the strength there was in them. Fortunately their commander was personally known to many of the old soldiers and they gave him a complete confidence that was apparently speedily shared by the entire regiment. The various army officers detailed as instructors were no less loyal and devoted to the idea of success. In the week preceding the opening of the camp, all plans were perfected, barracks made ready, cooks, waiters, janitors and other employees secured, programs of instruction made out, supplies and text books obtained up and ready to start when the bell rang. It did so start, with wonderful smoothness, and has run on scheduled time, without serious hitch or friction, ever since. At the end of the first month the candidates were able to "take stock" of the results, many missits had been "eliminated" and returned to their homes. The remainder began to experience the confidence, elation and just pride incident to having survived thru fitness. Their commander had, in the beginning, asserted them that they might expect that "no personal sympathy or consideration would deter him from ruthlessly, mercilessly, eliminating from this camp any man that he found falling short of established standards of honesty, morality and military efficiency," and he had kept his word. All who remained had reason to feel a sense of fitness. New Officers Each Day. As to progress already made, we must remember that the camp is not yet two months old. Most of the candidates didn't know a rifle from a smooth bore when they came here. Today they are acting as officers of the guard and officers of the day; rotating in command of companies and battalions in all manner of military exercises; conducting battalions and regimental parades without the presence of a single instructor, and with officers and noncommissioned officers detailed by daily roster from the candidates, so that the ceremonies are handled by a complete new set of officers every day; mounting, instructing and supervising a post guard, every man of which, from the officer of the day down, is a colored candidate; making very creditable military sketches; posting outposts; conducting advance guards, target practice, trench digging and always advancing, always moving forward to increased responsibilities. Let anyone who doubts this progress visit Fort Des Moines and see the work done. Let anyone who is skeptical as to the colored man's ability as a soldier, visit Fort Des Moines and see the colored man's work. MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY, AUG. 23, 1917 See For Yourself. Let any man who doubts the colored man's fidelity and loyalty Fort Des Moines and see men who have given up professions, business and homes in order to learn to defend their country and to merit a more considerate judgment of their race. Let any man who doubts the colored man's delity and loyalty come to Fort Des Moines and revise his opinions on what he will there learn of the spirit that has stood unswaveringly behind the commanding officer in every decision that he has been called upon to make, even tho that decision involved sore disappointment and shattering of hopes. VICTOR CEASAR TURNER Ga.—Wisconsin. Making good at Officers Training Camp DesMoines, Iowa. News reaches us that "Vick" has made good and will soon receive a commission as a United State officer.

Y., Aug. 21st, 1917.—Following the silent parade of Colored school children in this empire city of the nation on Saturday, under the management of an organized Colored committee, as a protest against the public murder of Colored women and children at East St. Louis, comes the announcement that the National get-together of the Colored race to form plans of campaign to combat and resist the fresh crusade of race hate and race prejudice in the U. S. A. will be held in Mother Zion church, West 136th street, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 16th, 17th and 18th. This get-together of the race is called by Rev. Byron Gunner of Hillburn as president of the National Equal Rights League, the organization which made organized labor declare its position on the St. Louis massacre, thus giving Col. Roosevelt his chance to confuse and confound Samuel Gompers. The Colored people of every community are urged to form a citizens' committee to provide for a delegate, and all local branch leagues are requested to get active to the same end, while all religious, fraternal and civic bodies are also asked to be represented. In America and in every part of Europe all proscribed races and classes are being judged by the manner in which they put forth their own claims as a unit for relief from proscription. This gathering will test our race, and extraordinary unity and activity should be shown in sending delegates. Rev. Byron Gunner of Hillburn, N. Y., as president; Wm. Monroe Trotter, 34 Cornhill, Boston, as corresponding secretary, solicit inquiries and correspondence to make this national get-together, while the world is at war for Democracy, an unusual success, will leaders in every community take hold at once.

AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE Don't look for the flaws as you go through life; And even if you should find them, It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind, And look for the virtue behind them; For the cloudiest night has a hint of light Somewhere in its shadows hiding; It is better by far to hunt for a star, Than for spots on the sun abiding. The current of life runs ever away To the bosom of God's great ocean; Don't set your force 'gainst the river's course And think to alter its motion; Don't waste a curse on the universe— Remember it lived before you; Don't butt at the storm with your puny form. But bend and let it go o'er you. The world will never adjust itself To suit your whims to the letter; Some things must go wrong your whole life long, And the sooner you know it the better; It is folly to fight with the Infinite. And go under at last in the wrestle; The wise man shapes into God's good plan As the water shapes into a vessel. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. BLADELETS Our advertisers invite your trade.

The scandal-monger is the so- --- The Colored Man Comes North Under the above heading the Milwaukee Journal of August 19th has the following to say anent the coming of so many colored people to this State. It pleases us to reproduce it. It goes to show that the migration is not wholly unobserved nor unwelcomed by those who mold public opinion. We believe that the newcomers will "make good", and we know that in so far as they will receive the support and encouragement of the people of Wisconsin—a people to whom the struggles of the "colored brother" have always appealed strongly: "One who knew Milwaukee a half-dozen years ago, or even twelve months ago, and who knows it today, will be surprised if he stops to note the number of colored people he meets on the streets now as compared with preceding years. So silently have they slipped into the city that cial buzzard feeding on the carrion of dead reputations. We never realize how sensible human beings can be until we find someone who will let us do all the talking. It requires a peculiar kind of courage to stand by on's convictions in the face of great opposition. Our penitentiaries will never be depopulated so long as there are men who think themselves smarter than the rest of us. Pleasure is largely a matter of taste. We have known some very estimable old ladies who get more pleasure out of a funeral than the average German out of a dish of wiener-wurst and a mug of beer. SCISSORED THOUGHTS Milwaukee Daily News—If we are to succeed in downing the real foe that menaces our national existence over (and under) seas, we must stand united irrespective of the accidental color of our skins. The needs of the wheat fields of the workshops must be met. And negro labor must fill the deficit in white. Petty racial prejudice must cease. The constitution, as interpreted by those who made it, and read by those who saved it from the perils of secession, must rule today. It is the only solution of a problem that is pregnant with possibilities of interrucine disaffection if allowed to continue to obsess. The (Austin) Herald — Stop talking about what you would do "if you were in such and such place." In reasoning from the known to the unknown, you'd be doing at any other place just what you are doing where you are now. Get down at it where you are and stick to it until all the glue wears off before you quit it. Chicago Defender—While it is true that the rise of any people came only after a battle, it is also true that the changing of sentiment is a gradual process, and while one might take advantage of another in a helpless position, it is only a temporary gain and the end would not justify the means. There is such a thing as shame, and there is such a thing as gratefulness wrapped up somewhere in the white man's body. At times it seems a little long in coming to the surface, but every once in a while it crops out in unexpected places. If we only went where we are wanted or welcome, be it in the north, south, east or west, our movements would be very limited. As a rule we are heralded as "big, black, burly burly brutes," and when we appear on the scene and fail to live few of us have noted their coming. They are but part, however, of the general exodus from the south, which has been bemoaning for months the loss of its colored laboring class. The colored man has come to live among the "yankees" without solicitation from the people of the north. He will be received and welcomed as an addition to the community. Nothing of the class hatred that has so much marred his living in the watermelon country will be evident here. He will be given an opportunity to do his best. Every door of every field of work is open. Men are needed everywhere. And while all evidence, judging from statistics in other cities, goes to show that he will prove a peaceable, industrious and worthy citizen, his ultimate success here, like that of every citizen, must depend on him alone." up to the advertisement, surprise is evinced on every side, and we are looked upon as good imitations of human beings. Which only goes to prove that, after all, contact is the one thing destined, above all others, to break down the walls of prejudice. Atlanta Independent. Money is not the only thing worth living for neither is it the only thing that constitutes real wealth. There is a wealth of soul, wealth of mind, wealth of heart and wealth of service that money can neither give nor supplant. The man is wealthiest who renders the greatest service to humanity, whose heart and soul are broadest and who relieves the greatest quantity of humanity and sheds the greatest rainbow of peace, happiness, good will and contentment into the heart of mankind. Man is poorest, meanest and the most contemptible in the sight of God and decent people who causes the greatest number of people the greatest amount of woe, trouble, hardship and privation. The Portland Advocate. — No person occupies a more conspicuous or a more unique place in the community than the pastor of a church. In many respects he becomes the ideal from the prattling babe at its mother's breast to the noary-haired grandfather, whose life's sun is slowly going down. If you want to contribute to the preacher's life work and worth, let him feel that you are proud of him; speak of him as a gentle and God-fearing Shepherd and as an humble servant of the Master. Respect and love him and co-operate with him in all that is pure and holy. Do this and the church will take on new growth, and harmony and good will prevail among the members. But on the other hand, if the pastor, by swaggering conduct of abuse and bullying of his members, has lost the love and respect of his followers, with no hope of ever regaining it, even though he has done his best in every other respect to build up the church and has failed in God's name he should go.
