THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE COLORED SOLDIERS OVERSEAS "MAKING GOOD" French and American Commanders Praise Their Coolness and Courage Under Severest "Baptisms of Fire." Snappy at Drilling and Expert in Field Maneuvers—"My Oldest Veterans Could Do it No Better," Said a Noted French General VOL. III. With the American Armies in France.—Colored troops from America already have established themselves in Europe as being cool and reliable fighters in the front line. Both American and French commands say so, and if the Germans ever discovered who it was that held part of the line through Argonne forest when the booches failed to get through some time ago, the German command has a decidedly high respect for American colored infantry. Up and down the line, after the test of a year's service, you hear no doubts expressed regarding the colored infantry. The colored doughboys have made good in the line as well as behind. They have proven themselves cool and brave soldiers in the trenches, and gentlemen when back at rest in French towns. You are continually running into units of these colored chaps as you travel up and down the line from Switzerland to Flanders. Pull Off Some Snappy Drilling Pull On Some Snappy Drilling Down in a little town some miles back of Verdun the correspondent encountered a large unit of these colored chaps, all from Chicago or thereabouts. They had just come back to rest, after a long period in the Argonne forest trenches. Like their predecessors, a Negro unit from New York, they had made a great hit with the French officers in high command of the sector. Unlike the New York Negroes, these Chicago boys had encountered no big fighting, and they were disappointed at being taken from the trenches before doing big fighting. The French officers explained that good soldiers can be recognized just as well when they are holding the line as when they are fighting, but the colored doughboys were still disappointed. Finally the French general of the army came down to review the Negro outfit. Down by the creek they went through some of the snappiest exercise ever seen, and the French general was delighted. When the review as it had been planned was finished the general turned to the American colonel. "If I were an American general what would I do now?" asked the Frenchman. "Most anything," replied the colonel. "These boys will do anything you wish." "Well, suppose the Germans were across the creek," replied the the general, "I'd like to have this nearest company attack them." Difficult Field Maneuver Skillfully Executed. The captain of the nearest company was given the order, and he marched his men across the meadow, where they suddenly disappeared. Pretty soon a whistle sounded, and the company was up and running toward the creek. Only a minute, and then they dropped, waiting, then running, always skirmishing in the latest approved French fashion. When they dropped it was with two skirmish lines in advance and two support lines leading off to the rear, with each man dropping over the legs of the chap in front of him. Tin derbies and packs covered the upper portions of their bodies. After a bit of flank movement by a couple platoons, the supposed German positions along the creek were stormed and taken. The French general was delighted beyond words for a moment. Finally he said, "My oldest veterans could do it no better, even if they were warned it was on the program, and your boys did that extemporaneously." The general remembered the review, and a few days later these colored chaps from Chicago received a fine letter from him, congratulating them on their spirit de corps and their work. French Like Colored Americans It was interesting to see how these colored boys mixed with the French inhabitants of the village. with whom the Americans were billeted. The French folk like the colored boys, and felt highly honored at the way the latter learned French. The colored Americans are getting extremely fluent, and it fits entirely with their scheme of things to use all French forms of politeness. Down the battle line a large unit of colored troops was encountered at serious business. It was going into the line, taking over a hilly and important sector formerly held by French troops. It was the first taste of the trenches, or of the front for the boys in this unit. These men were mostly from the south. They had been trained in the middle west, and some more in France, but never had been on duty under shell fire. Yet on this dark night, while the Germans bombarded, these thousands of colored doughboys, chiefly under direction of colored officers, though some were white, took over a difficult and long sector without a mishap and with less noise than usual, so the French officers said. They have held that long sector for some time now, and there has been no slip, from the farthest outpost to the rear supply truck. IDLEWILD NOTES Chicago, Ill. Hon, Benj, J.

The statement is calculated to inspire thought. It is little more than half a century since the emancipation proclamation was signed, setting 4,000,000 people free, but in the interval the manumitted race has made an extraordinary aggregate showing. Throughout the country, north and south, east and west, the colored business man and property owner are continually more in evidence. They have made a substantial name for themselves in every part of the United States. In spite of grave obstacles they have pressed their way upward, and New York is not the only city in which their holdings run into impressive figures.—Providence Journal. The frequent repetition of mob actions is almost an open invitation to plain flouting of the law, and if that is allowed unopposed footing, it may seek establishment as a permanency. In civilized communities the deciding factor is the law, not the opinion of one man as opposed to another or to a social element which may outnumber another. That is an admission of the doctrine of the might of right by physical force which would put a quick end to all law. There is no question that cannot be safely submitted to the terms of the law.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. That the careful study of disabled soldiers by the Red Cross Institute in New York will be of special benefit to Negro soldiers is pre-eminently apparent. The Government gives to them, of course, as to the American Indians in the military service, exactly the same benefits which come to the white men. These black men and red men are making history in Europe and their place will be honorable when they return and their services will be required. Among the Negro soldiers who will be returned crippled from the front, there will be men who, before they entered the Army, had no special occupation or education of any kind; these will be given trades and perfected in them so that to make a living will be not only possible but agreeable, for they will be permitted to choose their callings. Already much has been done in Canada and England for the black crippled soldier. For those who have the knack of hand craft, shoemaking, tailoring, and similar trades have proven successful to a degree, especially for those who have lost legs. Typewriting, stenography, telegraphy have been successfully taught to crippled Negroes, the one-armed finding clever devices for aiding them in these callings. Indeed, for the Negro soldier there is every opportunity, his own choice and his special physical loss being the only restrictions in the trades; while for the man who has not ceased to find life in the country preferable (and this will include many of the Indian soldiers) there are agricultural industries included in the curriculum.—Augusta Scott Chaney in the Southern Workman. NO HALTING OF DRAFT OR DERED. SAYS BAKER Washington.—No halting of supply or draft systems has occurred because of the impending armistice. Secretary Baker said last night. "Not a single contract for supplies or munitions has been cancelled which would not have been cancelled if the armistice negotiations had not been pending." Mr. Baker said, "No orders affecting the draft have been issued." The Secretary said he would issue an immediate announcement dealing with any changes which would be made as soon as official news was received of an armistice. CAPT. D. C. LEVERETTE Atlanta, Ga.

They must contain no personal attacks and must be signed. On request the name will not be published.—Editor. FROM OVERSEAS Somewhere in France. Oct. 10, 1918. I was very pleased to receive yours of August 23rd. Your letter had been chasing all over France trying to find me and it finally rounded me up. You may say what you please, but we are sure some busy now and have been for some time, but we think that the big scrap is about over. I really thank you all who have been so kind to my wife; she has written me in all of her letters how nice everyone has been to her since I have been away—it seems like ten years to me. Milwaukee seems to be holding her own in everything she undertakes, and she really could not do better than to help the Salvation Army, as it is doing great work for the boys "over here." When this great conflict is over I do hope it will be better understood and appreciated more. We on this side do not know very much of what is going on except in our own particular sector, but we do know that the Allies are winning and that fast. I can tell you this also that we have been scrapping with the Huns and have beaten them to a frazzle. Some class, eh? I also know something about the straightening of that line which you outlined for me and shall tell you about it when I get home again. I did not know there were really more colored boys in Milwaukee to go to Custer, but I wish them luck. Stith finally got off, eh? I am glad you get hold of the false reports before they get going good. People must not believe everything they hear from over here, as nine-tenths of them are not true. The boys are having a song and prayer meeting as I am writing this. Give them my best regards to all of my very kind friends; tell them I often think of them. Gant and all the other boys are O. K. and beg to be remembered to you and friends. Please tell Mrs. Gant. Your old friend. Sergt Robt. Merritt, Jr., Co. C, 372 Infantry, Am. E. F., France, via New York. Langley Field, Hampton, Va.

BLADELETS Aequit yourselves as becomes a man, Have you written that Thanksgiving letter to the boys “over there’? One may as patietically serve his country over here as “over there”. Our keenest statesmen are lying awake ‘nights studying the after-war problenss, What of you? If you don’t practice economy now how will you live on $15 and 818 per week after the war? Think of that Two Milwaukeo men were recently run over by a hearse. Whadda ya know about that? A Milwaukee recruit asked if he expected to go to. France soon, replied: We might stop there on our way to Berlin.” Clever for a rookie, eh? ‘The person or persons responsible for that prema ture celebration of peace last Thursday ought to be apprehended and seriously dealt with, We have been robbed of one of our dearest anticipations, Down in Oldahoma the trial of a colored maa charged with murder was’ postponed beeause— the State's witnesses were busy picking cotton, Yet the Constitution gnarantees a speedy trial, NEWSPAPER REPORTS pleased to say that we have alw of Wiseousin very fair and lib reatment of the colored people. ways he said of its news col frequently found false and es rrogatory to the colored people inls in Christendom cannot rem er 7, under date of Chicago, th We are pleased to say that we have always found the Press of Wisconsin very tain and liberal in its editorial treatment of the colored people, As much cannot always be said of its news columns, In them are frequently found false and exaggerated reports derogatory to the colored people which all the editorials in Christendom cannot remedy. November 7, under dute of Chicago, the Milwau- kee Jourpal cartied thy following: “The police are searching for a supposed moron who entered the nurses’ home of the Post-graduate hospital, Chic cago, early Wednesday and killed one nurse and shot two others According to the police, two previons attempts have been made by mon to get into the nurses’ hon, ‘The nurses’ home is in Chicago's black belt. Six Negro families live in a building adjoining. Miss Corington told the police that the man who entered, in a peculiar accent, indicating that be was a Negro or a foreigner, had warned her to be quiet." OF course the foregoing is a plain statement of fact and makes no charge —does not even express a suspicion Wut one must be more than an average person not to driw the inference that a Negro brute committed the deed. It is the natural inference trom the reference to the ‘black belt’ and the “six Negro families’ adjoining. It is not a streteh of the imagination to believe that sneh was intended by the ageney that sent it ont Th the same publivation, November % nader date of Chicago, is to be found the following: ‘Frank L, (Whitey) Clark, held on suspicion of having shot and killed Miss Lola Amon and wounded two other nurses of the Post-gradnate hospital, ix said to have confessed to the police that he was the murderer He has been identified by nurses as the man seen loitering about the place for a long times Clark was arrested on a previous oveasion for fol- lowing nurses. According to the police he is feeble minded.” Here we are left completely in the dark as to the identity of the culprit. That he is ‘feeble minded’? we are informed, but whether — white or black we are left to conjecture. From the uniyersa! practice of specifically calling attention to the race when the culprit is black, we easily infer that this one is not. But what of the impressions made by the first report? ‘Thousands of people who saw that may never see the later one, and if they do might not readily recognize it as the same tase. The first impression is the guilt of a Negro and first impres. ons are lasting, The injury to a race already bur dened almost beyond endurance was as effectively done by innuendo and insinuation as by a specific charge. ‘This is one of the burdens under which we labor. one of the things that make us feel that we “have no show.”” Editorials may be written until ‘‘King- dom com®’—and we do uot meen to say we do net appreciate the editorials but editorials are little read compared with the reports of crime. The mases of the people do not read editorials; they do read the criminal reports and accept them at their face value. Few, if any, ever question the truth of a charge against a Negro, Uneonsciously they conviet the entire race, And thus is created that false and unjust sentient against all colored peo- bes * NEGRO’S RIGHTS DEFENDED To the Editor of The Journal, In your issue of Nov. 6 appears a letter under the caption, “ Ameriva’s Greatest Problem,” signed by c W.

In the next paragraph Mr. Heath says that Lin-oln advorated the colonization of the Negro, but that ‘the southern states refused to consider his. Does [Mir Heath know why the South vetoed such a move, land if so what reason has he to think that it feels ‘any different today? A little later on Mr, Heath ‘says, “Their numbers have now increased to such "an extent as to render stich a projest almost impos- ‘sible.’ and toward the end of his article he lays out quite an elaborate plan ‘for doing the same. Why attempt to do something which he says is al- ‘most impossible? Then, perhaps, the wishes of the colored people themselves should be consulted. | In another paragraph Mr, Heath says, “It is a beautiful theory that places the Negro on the same phine of citizenship.” Yet hundreds of thousands ‘of colored people are receiving equal politieal rights ‘now, Ever since the adoption of the 14th and 15th amendments the colored man has been demanding his rights, even though in some states every subter- fuge has been used to keep them from him.—W.

Mrs, Jas. Ingramg is the recipi- ent of a letter from her husband, This new kind of fighter is making a new kind of fight. Heis’ fighting against lonesomeness and heart-ache and monotony and worry. He is fighting for that quality which wins wars—morale! Your boy has it. This man is fighting to let him keep it. Maybe your boy hasn't had a letter for a long time. Or maybe there was something that worried him in the letter that he got this morning, Or maybe he has had a disappointment—hoped for promotion and didn’t get it. Or maybe he'd give a million dollars just to see his folks one minute. It hurts to lock up things like that, deep down inside your heart.- It helps to pour them out. And that is where this man comes in—the Daddy of them all. They know that he will understand—that he won't laugh or preack They know that he is there with the right word and the right pat on the back when it's needed most. You Daddies of America, you men who want to go and can't, let's keep this Daddy on the job! ‘is Corp. Jas. Ingrams, who is now over seas. He wrote that he had just come out of a fierce battle.
