The Bov You Love
The boy you love in the training
camp will make a better soldier and
a better man if he knows the ringing
lines of "Fifty Years" and the haunt
ing pathos of "Black end Unknown
Bards." You will find these in James
Weldon Johnson’s "Fifty Years and
Other Poems," a book the critics of
the world have called the greatest
poetical achievement of the Colored
Race. Professor Brander Matthews of
Columbia University has written a re
markably fine introduction.

From the Fields of Alabama
A boy came fresh from the fields of
Alabama to work his way through a
session of the sumer school at Har

ter handicap of failing health, has
published his first book, and again
the critics on the great metropolitan
newspapers have acclaimed Joseph S.

SECRETARY BAKER TALKS TO
COLORED SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
(Continued from Fuse 1)
killed, three wounded, while the re
mainder were captured.
Stories of the fight in the Argonne
forest and the splendid endurance and
valiant fighting of the Colored sol
diers continue to come in. It is re
ported that a company of the old
Ninth Ohio battalion, under command
of its Colored captain from Dayton,
O., laid in an open field all night,
awaiting o-ders to go into action,
I
while all the time the Germans were
dumping 210 shells and eighty-eight
machine gun fire into them. But even
in the face of such a murderous fire
the Colored line stood as firm as if
the huge shells and murderous ma
chine gun fire was but the discharge
of toy blow guns. Among their casu
alty were Anderson Lee and William
Chenault of Dayton, who were killed.
The firmness of the line these khaki
garbed black soldiem maintained in
he face of a withering fire—a veri
table hell—constitutes one more rea
son why the folks—the race—back
home should be proud of these, their
Colored soldiers over here, whose un
yielding spirit and bravery is making
history for the race. .
I have learned that Hill 304, which
, the French so valient!y held and which
suffered such a fierce bombardment
from ;he Germans that there is not a
single foot of it but what is plowed up
by shells and whose sides, even today,
are literally covered with the corpses
of French soldiers who still lie where
they fell, was later as valiantly held
by the Colored soldiers from the
United St a' es, who fought with all the
heroism and endurance the best tradi
tions of the army has chronicled. The
Colored soldiers, under their own cap
tain from Dayton, O., who so splendid
ly maintained their line in the Ar
gonne forests, and those who held
that bloody and forever historical Hill
304, had the odds against them, but,
like Tennyson’s immortalized “Six
Hundred,” they fought bravely and
well, firm in the belief "it was not
their’s to reason why; it was their’s to
do and die,” and, like the patriots they
were, they did DO, and this war’s his
tory will so record.
Record of Colored Fighting Troops to
Make Bright Page in History.
When this war is over and peace,
lasting peace, declared, and the neces
sitous censorship has been lifted so
one may mention the names of army
units, cities and towns, the Colored
historian who records the history of
the Colored soldier in this war will
need no imaginative powers to tell of
the service, the daring deeds of valor
and the incomparable fighting Colored
men did over here in France. Verdun.
No Man’s Land, Belleau Woiods, Cha
teu-Thierry, Soissons, the Vesle, Ar
gonne, Champagne, eft ah, are vast
urns which contain the story of how
America’s black soldiers fought; how
they dared, bled and died “to make
the world safe for democracy.” Bor
deaux, Brest, St. Nasair, Montoir, et
ah, will forever tell a story of the big
achievements of the Colored steve
dores who helped to make possible the
victories of the fighting men at the
front.
The Y. M. C. A. huts scattered here
and there, and in which now labor so
splendidly and self-sacrificingly Col
ored Y. M. C. A. workers, will bear
testimony, years after they have been
deserted, of the part these non-oom
batants took in helping and buoying
up our boys. The story of how Crispus
Attucks fell at Lexington in 1776 will
be but a juvenile, a “Mother Goose”
bed-'‘time story, beside the story of
how our boys fought and fell at Cham
pagne. Fort Pillow and Milliken’s
Bend of the civil war will pale beside
Chateau-Thierry and Argonne. The
story of the Spartans at Thermopylca
and Tennyson’s “Charge of the Light
Brigade,” as a recitation by the ama
teur elocutionists, will give place to
the charge of the Colored troops from
America at Champagne.
The story of our Colored troops,
combatants and non-combatants, in
this war will make every Colored man,
woman and child of today and tomor
row proud of their race and proud
they were such 100 per cent Amer
icans as to do their bit cheerfully in
this war. View it from any angle you
may; locate yourself in any section of
the United States you may, you will
find after this war that tlhe “new day
and new duty” our friends have been
prophesying for us will be present,
and because of the record of valor
made by Colored soldiers here in
France, while pushing the Hun back
from Chateau-Thierry into Wilhem
strasse.
These Colored soldiers over here—
now quite 200,000—are proud they are
here. They would not exchange the
opportunity they have had for render
ing service to their country for all 'the
fabled riches of Golconda. When Ger
man militarism has been crushed be
yond restoration and glorious peace
shall have been achieved by the allies
these Colored soldiers, such as sur
vive, will be eager to return to the
United States, glad that they had and
accepted the opportunity to serve well
their country and civilization. Such
as may fall on the field of battle—
and many will have—will beam a smile
of satisfaction before entering into
eternity that they had the glorious
privilege of dying in and for a right
eous cause to advance their race back
in the states and everywhere. Con
tact with the men over here confirms
this statement. Knowledge of things
over here makes it possible for me to
declare that the pages in the history
of this war will transmit to posterity
no records of stoical endurance and
valor more lasting than tlhe record
made by Colored troops from Bor
deaux to the Rhine.
