LINCOLN FEELING CHESTY
Lincoln mav be pardoned for fee' -
ing just a little chestv these days by
reason of the way Lincolnites have
been dn»ng fV!ng« of note. But then,
you know, Lincoln, has alwavs been
doing things worth while. The onlv
dicci„r»lttr sc; that we have not
had a medium through which we could
make our wants known. The Monitor
is meeting that long-felt want.
THE NEGRO SOLDIER
AT THE FRONT
Once moe the attention of the pub
lic has been called to the signal serv
ice which the Negro troops of France
have rendered to the cause of the
allies. Recently that service was
made the subject of a complimentary
resolution in the French Chamber of
Deputies, and it is now announced
that a Negro deputy from Senegal i; j
traveling through French West Africa
with a view' to intensifying voluntary
enlistment amongst the different
tribes that people those vast terri
tories. The announcement could not
come at a more favorable time than
the present, when the American news
papers are enthusiastically praising
the Negro,troops of the United States
army at the front fer their bravery,
self abnegation, and exemplary bear
ing. Numerous battalions have been
raised among tne Negro race lor ser
vice abroad, and the men who com
pose their ramus have mannested
much tee same e'this.asm and com
prehension of the lotty task beiore
them as their white cotnrades-m
arms.
The war, it is said, has revealed to
the Negro a new world. As lar as
the French Negro forces, which num
bered at least 120,000 men, are con
cerned, their conception of service
has assumed a form of patriotism al
most religious in its sincerity. The
point to remember with regal d to the
employment of French black troops is
that they are in a literal sense de
fenders of their territories against
conquest by a ruthless foe. One of
the distinct objects of Germany in
attacking France was the captuie ol ,
the French African colonies. Thu
circumstance was brought out in the
conveisations between the German ,
Chancellor and the British Ambassa
dor in Berlin, on July 29, 1914, when
Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg declared
that he was quite ready, in return for
England’s neutrality, to promise that ,
Germany would not annex any teri
tory in France, but would not make a
like promise with regard to the
French possessions outside of Europe.
France thus had no difficulty in
achieving a magnificent response to
her appeal to the natives of Africa
and of Far Eastern colonies to rally
to the defense of their land. If one i
may include the Arabs of Northern
Africa under the same heading, then
it may be literally said that hundreds
of thousands of fighting men from
Africa fell into line in the Frencii
ranks and fought on the western j
front. That rally was a magnificent
tribute to the benevolent and fraternal
policy of France in Africa which has
secured for her such stout defenders
among the people whom she has tak
en under her protection, and was the
best possible answer to the hypocriti
cal protest, which was heard in Ger
many’s note to neutrals, against the
employment of native troops in the
Entente armies. This protest came
with poor grace from a nation which
l ad secretly worked to create a Holy
War in Asia and Africa, and a “black
peril” in Africa by fomenting a revolt
against the white race in the French
and English coloines. Bared from !
using it; own native troops in Europe, I
Germany of the conscientious scruples I
did not hesitate to use them against j
the colonial troops detailed to wrest j
the German colonies from their un-j
scrupulous owners.
On the occasion of Germany’s mod |
recent protest on the subject of the |
employment of black troops, the note !
it is fair to assume, was intended te j
make a particular appeal to the |
“sense of humanity” of the American ;
people whose population include ■ !
10,000,000 and more Negroes. But j
once again Germany failed to gunge ■
the sentiment of other nations or the
mettle of the Negro population of the j
United States. Speaking generally :f
the prestige of the white race ha
suffered in this war, then it is not :
because, as was pointed out in the
French Chambei of deputies, of the
employment of Negro troops in the
melee, but because of German;,
crimes.—Christian Science Monitor, i
