THE VISCONSIN A NATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPINION AND CIRCULATION VOL. II MADISON, WIS. THURS PETER H. Thursday Mr. Harrison Ballard was taken to the hospital suffering with spinal meningitis, from which the doctors hold little hopes of his recovery. The very next morning his wife, who was formerly Miss Onelia Colin, one of the most charming and popular of the younger set, gave birth to a fine girl baby. Mother and babe are doing as well as might be expected under the circumstances. The Blade with the many friends of the couple extend their congratulations on the happy event, at the same time hoping for the rapid and permanent recovery of Harry as he is popularly called. PROTESTS AGAINST BAL LOU'S ORDER (Blade News Service) Washington, D. C.—In a letter to the War Department protesting against Gen. Ballou's order to the 92nd Division, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls the order "both unjust and unjudicious" and claims that it "raises questions of race discrimination more serious than might be raised by any other means of which we can conceive." It says further: "We believe that the public as a whole will be quick to resent any conduct on the part of theatre managers, or other business men, denying to men wearing the uniform of the United States any rights or privileges to which they are by law entitled. We cannot believe that the War Department will approve an order characterizing as "personal pride and gratification" any proper exercise of the rights of citizenship, if exercised by a colored man in uniform. Company E, 365th Infantry, From Sergt. Jno. A. Johnson, To Editor of the Blade. Sir: Gentlemen of the world of Art and Letters. It does me quite an honor to be able to write you these few lines informing you of our name: At last bestowed upon a worthy outfit, the 365th Infantry, National Army.

There is no reason for doubt as we stand for one Country, one Flag, one Language and one Virtue. All we ask in God's name is Justice, no individual favors. I remain as ever, Sergt. Jno. A. Johnson.

ON ALL DAYS WITH EACH PURCHASE OF WHAT HOUR FOR HOME USE YOU HUST BUY ALSO AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF OTHER CEREALS JIM WHALEY'S MOTHER The following verses are respectfully dedicated to the mothers of our country who have or may yet be subjected to the "acid test": Old Bill, the postman on our street, Declares he'd like to change his best Who's asks for letters daily. She'd follow him with pleading glance, And beg for just one note from France. Bill grins and tries to scold her. Jim Whaley was on Pershing's list Last month—a list his mother missed— And no one's ever told her. "Now, I'm not mushy," Bill will vow. "But in my throat a lump, some how, Comes up each time she greets me. And when I laugh and say I'll bet A stack of letters she'll soon get, Her hopefulness plumb beats me." Jim Whaley's dead and in a hole. He did his work. God rest his soul. Without a "taunt of yeller." His tragedy is history. But there's one more that's bound to be. It's coming when they tell her. —Bide Dudley. Stop! Look! Listen! Put only Americans on guard. The world must be made safe for democracy. All efforts made for the happiness of others lift us above ourselves. in mob violence and the spirit of the mob, there is nothing that a law-abiding citizen can condone —nothing that is not repulsive to the best within him. A general so out of harmony with the troops he commands as is General Ballou, ought to be relieved at once. He lacks the confidence and respect of his men, a pre-requisite of a successful leader. The Knights of Liberty (God save the mark) at San Jose, Cal., recently hanged a man until he was unconscious because he disagreed with them. What da ya mean Liberty? THE COLORED MAN AND LOYALTY Tailoring, Cleaning, Pressing and Repairing LADIES' WORK A SPECIALTY Old Clothes made to look like new "GET RE-SEATED" A. HATZL, 129 State St. The only newspaper for colored people in the state We give editorial space to the following from the Evening Star, Washington, D. C., because of its eloquent tribute to the loyalty of Americans of African descent. How a nation can repay such loyalty with abuse and vituperation we fail to understand: "Wiring from Jackson, Miss., Secretary McAdoo, inacknowledging a subscription from Florida to the Third Liberty Loan, paid this tribute to the colored people of America: I am proud of the colored Knights of Pythias of Florida for their subscription of $25,000 and for the patriotism of the colored people of America in their loyal support throughout the country to the liberty loan as well as to the nation itself in this great war for freedom and democracy. Now, as heretofore, the colored man's loyalty is attested by the records. It rests, not upon proclamation, but upon performance. His position has not warranted proclamation. He could not have secured much attention at any time by merely proclaiming loyalty. It was necessary for him to show it, and he has shown it. As a soldier, he has much to his credit. He has demonstrated that he is a good fighting man. He has endurance for the march and stomach for the battle. No white man who has ever commanded him in uniform has ever spoken in his dispraise. But the colored man's loyalty as a soldier is not the only loyalty he has shown. He has been tried in a fire hotter than that to which a soldier is subjected. Telegram Wants Order Countermanded. The Telegram read as follows: Boston, Mass., April 21, 1918: To the President, Woodrow Wilson, White House, Washington, D. C. The National Equal Rights League calls upon you to countermand Gen. Ballou's Bulletin No. 35 for 92nd Division, Camp Funston, Kansas, enjoining officers and soldiers to refrain from going into public places where their presence is resented because of Color. His dictum that asking public service is putting pleasure above the general good is not applied to white soldiers, destroys all civil rights, causes fresh discriminations, fosters race prejudice, humiliates our race, degrades the army uniform. No order so vicious or undemocratic has been issued in any armies fighting Germany. Protect American soldiers in democracy war, and for some time afterward, the colored man occupied a place of great responsibility in the south. The master was in the field contending for what he thought was right, while the man was left at home to wait upon and protect the master's family. The man knew the issue between the two sections of the country and what the master was fighting for, but the knowledge did not make him untrue to his trust. He discharged his trust faithfully; and upon the return of the master—in cases where the master survived the struggle—the meeting between the two was quite beyond description. Loyalty like that to domestic obligations guarantees loyalty to patriotic obligations. As a slave the colored man had much to complain of; but in the supreme test described, he put his grievance by, and remembered and did his duty. As a citizen he has complaints; but in times of stress he puts them by, and remembers and does his duty. He fought in Cuba and in the Philippines twenty years ago, and is in uniform now ready to fight again in this supremer emergency. There need be no uneasiness on the score of the colored man. On the contrary there should be a sense of genuine satisfaction in the fact that he is here, and a dependable asset at a time when the country expects all citizens, regardless of color, creed or condition, to support the government with both blood and treasure as the arbitrament of the sword, appealed to in a world war, may require." at home before sending them abroad in Democracy's War.
