After a stay of more than six months, the 365th Infantry and 350th M. G. Battalion left Camp Grant May 28th and 29th for the East, presumingly to sail for overseas service. While in Rockford officers and men acquitted themselves in such a manner that they were spoken of in the highest terms. Lieut. Henry E. Dunn has just received the appointment of Personnel Officer for the 350th Machine Gun Battalion, Camp Grant. This position is a new one and great care was exercised in selecting a man to fill it. It is hoped that Lieut. Dunn will prove CAPTAIN J. H. THURSTON Rockford, Ill Who at his own expense distributed cigar, cigarettes and chewing gum to the boys on their departure from Camp Grant. This was indeed a wide-awake move and this broad hearted public spirited citizen is to be congratulated. HON. JAS. E. AMMONS, Long Island, New York. Secretary to Ex-President Roosevelt. Madison was honored with a visit during the stay of Col. Roosevelt in Madison last week. Mr. Ammons was a hearty good fellow, hale well met. Our contemporaries call Mr. Ammons a valet, maybe because he was a Negro; but in fact he was the Colonel's Secretary. MR. CHAS. STEPP, Reedsburg. Wis Mr. Stepp was in the city a few hours Tuesday,paid the Blade's office a visit and left his subscription. He was in attendance of the Farmers' Conference. The race should feel proud of Mr. Stepp, as he is one of the successful farmers of the Badger state with large real estate holdings. PURPOSE OF THE NATIONAL COLORED LIBERTY CONGRESS The purpose of the National Colored Liberty Congress at Washington, D. C., June 24-29, as adopted by vote of the National Conference and binding on the Convention is as follows: "The Aim and Object of this Congress of delegates from Colored churches and organizations is to press the just claim of the Colored American citizens of the U. S. A. to share in the world democracy for which they are subject to fight under the flag of the Republic and to take positive measures to secure from the Government guarantee of the abolition of disfranchisement and of all caste discriminations, civil and political." The Congress assembles June 24, in the John Wesley Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran Sts., Attend the 3d Annual Race Convention at Beloit, Wis., July 31st--Aug. 1st Publication authorized by Ralph L. Richardson, who agrees to pay The Blade $6.00 therefor. By the advice of my many friends i hereby announce myself a candidate for Sheriff of Dane County, on the Republican Ticket. RALPH L. RICHARDSON By the advice of my many friends i hereby announce myself a candidate for Sheriff of Dane County, on the Republican Ticket. RALPH L. RICHARDSON PAID ADVERTISEMENT—Authorized by C. F. Moulton for which he has paid the Blade $1.50. I, C. F. Moulton hereby announce to the voters of Dane county that I am a republican candidate for the nomination of county clerk. I have been a taxpayer of Dane county nearly 50 years and have served two terms in the civil war, having received two honorable discharges. My only son is now in the army at Camp Grant. My father also served in the civil war. My great-grandfather was in the revolutionary war and my grandfather served in the war of 1812. I served as sheriff of Dane county in 1897-1898. I earnestly solicit the votes of all loyal Americans irrespective of nationality. I believe in fairness and justice to all. Shouldn't service to the country count in patriotic times like these? If nominated and elected I will use my best endeavor to conduct the office in a business-like manner and in the interest of the taxpayers. N. W., Wash., D. C.

WIS With this issue the Wisconsin Weekly Blade celebrates its second anniversary. It is entering upon its third year having had its first issue Thursday, June 8th, 1916. In the two years of its existence it has affected no great reforms, initiated no grand movement, accomplished no marvelous feats. It has, however, endeavored to hew to the line, to speak out against wrong and for right, to condemn vice and extol virtue, to combat discrimination and nurture justice, to furnish a medium for the free discussion of public questions and at the same time to provide such news as is not to be obtained from the dailies and yet is of interest to our readers. We have faithfully labored to conduct a live weekly free from those personalities that have done so much to bring th' colored press into disrepute. How well we have succeeded we leave it to others to judge. Of course our motive in founding this journal is not wholly philanthropic; we make no pretense that we expect no returns for our labors and expenditures; we frankly admit a certain personal element, though it is not the end and aim of our efforts. We believed that the colored people of this state needed and their interests required such a paper as we hoped to establish; and we conceived it to be our duty to provide and conduct it, and their duty to encourage and support it. The year has not been without its discouragements. Ours has not been an easy task, nor have we been supported as liberally as we had reason to hope. It takes money to run a paper and this we have not always; had in large sums. And yet with it all, we are about to enter our third year with no feelings against any one, but rather with the kindiest sentiments toward all. That we have been supported more liberally than we deserved is not an impossibility; that we shall receive a more generous support as we prove ourselves worthy of it, is among the probabilities. We can only strive in the future as in the past to merit it. With this foreword we extend to our advertisers, subscribers, readers and friends a hearty appreciation of their past support, and a hopeful solicitation of their continued favorable consideration. May we each more nearly approach perfection in our several duties.

Although I may not bear a gun, I'll serve with harrow and with drag And bravely face the summer sun. I'll do my duty, day by day. I'll give my strength to till the soil. And take my glory in the way The harvest time shall bless my toil. I'll give up play and not complain, I'll stand to hardships with a grin. I'll help to raise the stores of grain Our army sorely needs to win. It is not given me to be A warrior bold in war's alarm. But still the Flag shall own in me A soldier serving on the farm. I've pledged myself unto the Flag, I will not whimper or complain, Or let my stock of courage lag. I'll brave the summer sun and rain. And when the golden sheafs are tied And victory at last is won, I too, shall share a soldier's pride And glory in a duty done Edgar A. Guest, in the American Boy.

From General Pershing's report it would seem that the Negroes in the front line trenches were very early giving a good account of themselves. That Negroes are not alone assaulters of unprotected white girls was evidenced the other day in Milwaukee when five white youths were arrested charged with an outrage upon two girls SCISSORED THOUGHTS As American citizens we have to obey the mandates of the law we have suffered again and again, but let this suffering, let the tear-stained faces of the mothers and fathers of these unfortunates that have suffered such an ignomious death, drive us to closer union removing the barriers in and among ourselves that have continually catered to our detriment. —Colorado Statesman.

They tell a story of valor more eloquent than we are able to do.

Foch Says: "They Are Very Strong and Stouthearted and Very Rash." —N. Y. World. The press this week is carrying General Ballou's attempted answer to the fusilade of criticisms that he has justly fallen heir to because of the publication of his ill-advised Bulletin 35. It is the kind of explanation that does not explain. While he does make some attempt at stating some things he was doing while publishing to the world his sympathy for and personal appreciation of the attitude of the theatre manager who would discriminate against a person of color, yet the vital points are left untouched. His veiled threat about the nation being nine-tenths white and that white men made the Division and can break it are studiously avoided. What he could not escape revealing, however, was the fact that he carries a dual personality; a Dr. Jekyl and a Mr. Hyde in the same person; Why not then, while making the world safe for democracy—make the South Safe for the Negro? Make the South safe not only for the Negro in civilian clothes, but safen for the Negro who wears the Uniform of the American Army; or unless the Government can make the South safe for men who have sworn to fight and if nec essayy die for this country, what protection can the ordinary Negro civilian hope to receive. St. Louis Argus. While soldiers are doing their duty at the front, let every man ans woman out of the army do their bit and the result will rise unobseureca by any element of doubt. Conservation must become the watchword of those outside the army, to the end that the efficiency of the fighting men may not be impaired. Dallas Express MILWAUKEE DIRECTORY Churches A. M.

That kind of negative leadership is not going to win the war. You can't hope to have soldiers of victory whose food has been the milk of submission. You can't hope to preach the doctrine of self-debasement to your soldiers and have them practice the great principles of democracy. The publication of Bulletin 35 was an unpardonable blunder. It has resulted in irreparable damage. Its maker as well as its supporters should be "known by their fruits" and placed in positions where their future activities will not humiliate, insult and injure that one-tenth that is striving so hard to be patriotic in these trying times.

Aroused by the lynching of 5 Negroes because of a killing episode the National Equal Rights League sent to President Wilson today a telegram of protest calling attention to the reported heroism of two Negro soldiers in France. The telegram read as follows: "Boston, Mass., May 23, 1918. "The President, White House, "Washington, D.C." "At the very time that the Red Cross is asking every American worker to give one day's wages for its humanity works, five Colored Americans are fiendishly murdered by a white American mob, one of the lynched being a woman. Simultaneously General Pershing announces two Colored soldier heroes victors in bloody combat over 20 Germans. France gave them the Croix de Guerre. Will you, their President, recognize their heroism by publicly exerting your personal and official influence against lynching of their women? National Equal Rights League. "Byron Gunner, President.
