LIEUTENANT EUROPE'S
COLORED HAND
Irvin S. Cobb in the Saturday Evening
Post.
Somewhere in France.
111\\ O days we stayed on there with
I an Afro-American regiment ( he
369th infantry) near the front, and
they were two days of a superior va
riety of continuous black face vaude
ville. There was the evening when
for our benefit the men organized an
impromptu concert, featuring a quar
to; that would succeed on any man’s
burlesque circuit ar.d a troupe of buck
and wing dancers whose equals it
would he hard to find on the “Big
Time.” There was the next evening
when the band of forty pieces sere
naded us. I think surely this must be
the best regimen al band in our army.
Certainly it is the best cne I have
heard in Europe during the war. On
parade when it played “The Memphis
Blues” the men did not march; the
music poured in at their ears and ran
down to their heels, and instead of
marching they literally danced their
way along.
As for the dwellers of the French
towns in which this regiment has from
time to time been quartered, they, I
am told, fairly go mad when some al
luring. compelling ragtime tune is
played with that richness of synco
pated melody in it which only the
black man can achieve; and as the
regiment has moved on, more than
once it has b^en hard to keep the un
attached inhabitants of the village
that the man was quitting from mov
ing on with it.
If I live to be a hundred and one I
shall never forget the second night of
a splendid, flawless full moon. We
stood with the regimental staff on the
terraced lawn of the chief house in a
half-deserted town five miles back
from the trenches, and down below us
in he main street the band played
plantation airs and hundreds of Afro.
American soldiers joined in and sang
the words. Behind the masses of up
turned dark faces was a ring of white
ones where the remaining natives of
the place clustered, with their heads
wagging in time to the tunes.
And when ',he band got to “ ’Way
Down Upon the S’wanee River” I
wanted to cry, and when the drum
major, who likewise had a splendid
baritone voice, sapg, as an interpo
lated number, “Joan of Arc,” first in
English and then in excellent French,
the villages openly cried; ard an elder
ly peasant, heavily bewhiskered, with
tears of a joyous and thankful en
thusiasm running down his bearded
cheeks, was wi h difficulty restrained
from throwing his arms about the
soloist and kissing him.
Not Knocking Mazie.
Chorus Lady—“Mazle Middleton told
me yesterday that she makes some
easy money mornings posing as a heud
und-neck model for a sculptor.” Show
Girl—"I shouldn't he at all surprised,
j Some sculptors, you know, make a
specialty of gargoyles!”—I inITalo Ex
press.
Therefore, Be Cheerful!
Depression, gloom, dark 'brooding
these are the worn stones In the de
scent to the Inferno of Incompetence,
! helplessness, delayed victory, or even
ultimate defeat. This, we know, is
true evermore In our Individual lift
struggles. It Is just as true of na
tions.—William Allen Knight.
Few Really Sincere.
Sincerity is an openness of heart;
we find it In very few people; what
we usually see is only an artful dls
simulation to win the confidence o4
| others.
A COLORED MILLIONAIRE
IN FRANCE ENTERTAINS
BOYS FROM TRENCHES
I Continued from Pukb 1)
“I almost believe you're Irish, in
stead of Frenchman Louis," she re
plied. “But you and the sergeant,
j The servants and I have been looking
for you everywhere.”
That was the only time I saw Lan
cour. The other day I was told that
there was a movement in the indus
trial section of Paris to send Lancour
to the French parliament. He is very
popular and his Negro blood is no
more thought )f ban a slight strain
of Indian blood is in the United States.
He and his wife go everywhere, and
rec ve everywhere and hold whatever
honore arc due them.
Who could not but help fight the
battles of France?—George B. Tandy

RACE PREJUDICE GETS KNOCK
OUT IN 74TH ASSEMBLY DIST.
Real simon pure democracy if you
please reigns in the 74th Assembly
District, and on his merits, Frederick
Mad:son Roberts was on last Tuesday
elected to represent this district in
the Assembly for the great state of
California, for the next two years.
Notwithstanding the fact that Rob
erts won the republican nomination
at the August primaries in a field
of five aspiran a, and which nomina
tion is always equivalent to an elec
tion; strong efforts were made to de
feat him, on no issue other than
race prejudice. His independent op
ponent gum-ri r ed around the dis
trict passing out his caids, written
on the back thereof was the inscrip
tion, "My opponent 's a Nigger.” A'l
fair minded people resented this, and
Mr. Gahart, the man who put it in
vogue was buried under an avalanche
of votes. The firirll count was, Rob
ert 2,556; Gahart, 1,794: a majority
for Roberts of 726.
And thus the 74th Assembly Dis
trict of the great State of Califlcmia
presents a practical demonstration of
real democracy, for be it known, with
out the support of a very considerable
part of the white voters in this dis
trict the election of Mr, Roberts
would have been impossible. W hile in
this district there is a great big Col
red population, he same does not by
any means excell that of the white
people, therefore the victory for de
mocracy is clean cut and unques
tioned.—Los Angeles Eagle.
First Electric Lighted City.
Aurora, 111., was the first city In th
world to have Its streets lighted b.
electricity, that method of illuminatin'
having been installed there in 1881.
