ENGLAND INTENDS TO USE
BLACK TROOPS; DIFFER
ENCE BETWEEN BRITAIN
AND FRANCE EXPLAINED
London, Dec. 7 (By Rudolph
Dunbar for ANP)—An interest
ing specimen of “spade propa
panda” pertaining to the mobili
zation of British colonials and
tha colonial regiments of France
nas just come my way. My reluc
tance to deal with this ludicrous
falsity before is due largely to
increased activites imposed upon
mo as a result of the war.
I wish to disseminate the facts
pertaining to the inaccurate ab
surdities of tiiese statements
which most sui;:ly insinuate doubt
into the mind of the most con
firmed devotee of scandal and
propaganda.
Senegclaltse Soldiers Exaggerate
It is universally known that
Senegelese soldiers are noted for
their fighting prowess and are
therefore indispensable to France
both in peace and war time. But,
it 'must be remembered that since
the war has begun, th, re have
been no major operations ori the
Western front where these troops

an in* auction. Therefore, there
is no foundation for the spurious
exaggeration r. lating to the ex
ploits of these troops. There are
no large divisions of them on the
Western front either, as is gen
erally assumed.
Since the war was declared, the
British war office has at no time,
issued any war com runiqu* fori
thu mobilization of colonial
troops. As a rule, colonials are.
never conscripted. This was true1
in the last war. The colonial ex
peditionary troops that ent, r the ,
last war joined up voluntarily.
Moreover, the British army has;
all the men it can hundle at the
moment.
Unlike tne British, a black col
onial is consul, red u full fledged
i Frenchman and he receives the
dignity and privileges as such.
Therefore it is possible for him *
to ri«e from the rank of a private
to a general in the French army.
I In view of these facts, military
service and conscription affect
every Frenchman alike regardless
of race, color or creed.
When war was declared, there
were thousands of S(en gales
troops on the march in Marseilles
and other parts of France. This
was not so in England when the
war office carried out the spec
tacular ijfat of transporting the
multitudes of British troops
across the channel to take up
their positions in France, there
wasn’t a single black soldier
among them. For a Negro to en
ter one of the fighting services
in the British Army is a task
not easy to accomplish. A Bri-1

tain which permits her black sub

same footing as British subjects
from the United Kingdom, would
havo to treat them as free and
equal with herself and must
guarantee them the certainty of
the same kind of material stak,
in the cause she wants to serve
as she herself possesses.
Hitherto, Britain had jealously
resolved to thwart all progress
along these lines. However, an
unprecedented statement has ju*t
been issued by the prime minister
in the house of commons which,
if executed in truth, would open
a new vista for Negroes in the
army, espet/.alljy doctors. The
statement reads thus:—
“We have had in the last few
days a striking demonstration of
the united determination of the
empire. From Canada, from the
commonwealth of Australia, from
New Zealand, from the Union of
South Africa, and from India
have come cabinet ministers and
representatives who have travel
led thousands of miles in order to
inaha personal contact with min
isters in this country and to see
with their own eyes the gigantic
efforts in which we are engaged.
“Ah honorable nvmbcrs are
aware, the empire has already
shown how generous and whole
hearted is its spirit of coopera
tion. The filler knowledge which
we shall gain of the plans of the
different governments as a result
of the presence of their minister
ial representatives here will be of
great value to us. And in their
turn we are confident that the
dominion governments and the
government of India will find j
that the first hand impressions
of their representatives will af
ford them invaluable aid in gain- j
ing a full appreciation of our j
common problems and of the best j
and quickest means of solving i
them.
“Equally striking is the whole
hearted cooperation that we are
receiving from all parts of the
empire including Burma, and
from the colonies.
“I haxe expressed before, on
behalf of his majesty’s govern
ment, out great appreciation of
the spontaneous messages of sup
port which came immediately af
ter the outbreak of war from
every single territory of the
colonial empire. We did not ask
for these messages; the colonics
have not been forced into war •
by Great Britain against their
will. The action of so many peo
ples of various races is a witness
to their consciousness that threat
to Great Britain is equally a
threat to that freedom and well:
being which has been assured to
them under British rule.
“Although at the beginning the
war effort of the colonies will be
mainly on the economic side, and
every colonial government is do
ing its utmost to help in the or
ganization of supplies of essen
tial raw materials and food stuffs
I should like to refer with grati- i
tudo to the numerous offers of
personal service from residents
in the colonies, ,
,-It is the Intention *of his
majesty’s government to employ 1
the man-power of the colonial em
pire as may be most effective,
and plans for doing this are be
ing worked out.

w ashington’s Script Adds Value
To Notebook Accpiired by Library |
Contains Virginia Militia Ros
ter and His Colonial
Beer Recipe
'T'lIE romantic story or an old note
book which assumed great value
after 160 years of neglect, when
astute literary detection revealed
that many of Us pages were In
George Washington’s handwriting,
has been added to the long and color
ful historj , • rare books.
The note 'o.ik now in the tiles of
the New York Public Library, dates
back to 1757, when Washington was
a Virginia colonel. At the time he
was raising two regiments of sol
diers for the French and Indian
Wars. The first ten pages, in a hand
writing other than Washington's,
are devoted to a roster of these regi
ments.
The remaining forty-four pages,
in Washington's own handwriting,
contain miscellaneous memoranda,
notes for future correspondence and
Washington's own recipe for Colo
nial beer.
When the volume was tlrat ac
quired by the Library from un old
book dealer in 1920 it was for the
historical value of the roster. No re
lation to Washington was known or
suspected. The discovery that the
remaining pages, long disregarded
is the personal notes of some minor
military aide, actually contained
memoranda written by Washington
himself added another chapter to
the fascinating story of American
colonial research.
The identification of Washington
as the author was made by Victor
Hugo Paltsits, Keeper of Manu
scripts of the Library. Examining
the notebook, he was struck by tha
resemblance between certain notes
and ideas later embodied by Wash
ington In his letters to Governor Din
widdie, the Speaker of the House of
Burgesses and other Virginia offi
cials. Comparison with other mat
rial written by Washington in tha
same year, and examination by hand
writing experts continued the fact
that the notes were written in Wash
ington's own hand.
Further research based on the
notes was conducted recently when
a limited quantity of colonial beer,
made according to the formula in
the notebook, was brewed by special
permission of the New York State
Liquor Authority. Although It had
long been known that Washington,
like other colonial squires, followed
the custom of brewing his own beer.
It was not until the notebook was
discovered that his particular recipe
became available.
The beverage was brewed as a scl
ent IBc experiment to demonstrate
the advances in brewing technology
since Washington's day. and was
served along wlih modern beer to
guests at Brewing Industry Hay a*
the New York World’s Fair.

TIIB FIRST PARTY
A young friend of mine came to
ue the other day all agog. She is
toing to her first big party and, to
nuke It even more exciting, she Is
going with nn "older" boy. lie’s
Inlsiied school and lias Ids first job.
Ilut the thrill and excitement Is a
lilt overshadowed by the fear that
die might not measure up—that she
might seem too young and unsophis
ticated and awkward. What must
■die do? Mentally she Is counting
liow many boys she will know there
aid of that number how many will
lance with her. She Is figuring out
what all the other girls will wear
und Is panicky lest they outshine
her. No slight reassurances will do.
She wants a well-ordered routine of
how she must look and act from the
time she starts dressing until she
says goodnight. And since, with the
Christmas holidays coming on, ninny
of you are in the same predicament,
1 thought you might be Interested
in the advice I gave her.
Youthful Looking Dress Most
Appropriate
First of all, If you are going to
get a new dress, don’t try to get the
most sophisticated-type dress possi
ble. There Is nothing more absurd
than a ulxteen-year-old would-be
siren. There are many dresses In
the shops that are neither little-girl
nor woman-of-the-world. Bear In
mind that your youth Is half your
charm, hard though It may be for
you to believe now. Dress your age,
neither several years younger, nor
ten years older. Select a shade that
Is becoming to you—-white and the
pale pastels are most becoming to
younger skins. When you get older
you will have to watch the shades
that bring out your better features
and do not emphasize the lines and
shadows In your face. Now Is the
time to wear all the colors of the
rainbow with a clear conscience.
Make-Up Should Be Natural
And when you have decided on the
color and style and selected your
dress, give serious thought to your
cosmetics. Your skin is young and
clear enough to have a definite beau
ty of its own. Don’t try to hide it
under a mask of make-up. Choose a
powder that matches your skin
tone and use it lightly to bring out
the beauty of your skin, not as n
means of hiding your natural color
ing. Find a rouge and lipstick thut
blend with your skin tone and us*
these sparingly ns well. The excite
ment of the occasion will give yon a
natural glow, itemember, in your
effort to he sophisticated, thut thn
most charming women apply their
make-up so carefully that it Is diffi
cult to detect. The secret lies in
selecting the proper slindes and ap
plying them carefully and sparingly.
And don’t forget your deodorant.
If you do, t lie unaccustomed excite
ment might wreak havoc to your
personal charm and your brand new
dress. It only takes n few minutes
and is something that no fastidious
woman of any age can afford to
overlook.
He sure, too, that your hair is im
maculately clean and well-groomed.
Clean, shining hair Is becoming In
almost any style It is worn. Wash
it or have it washed either the day
of the party or several days In ad
vance of the party according to yout_
particular requirements.
This just a rough draft of som*
of the externals. In my next col
umn I’ll give you some hints which
I hope will add to your poise and
peace of mind. In the meantime,
if you have any particular questions^
let me know.
What are your beauty prob
lems? Write Marie Downing,

St., St. Louis, Mo., and she will
be glad to answer them. Be sure
to enclose a self-addressed *

of the King’s African Rifles in
East Africa more than trdbled;
and, in fact the voluntary offers
of service throughout the em
pire have far exceeded our im
mediate requirements. As an
nounced some time ago. British
subjects from the colonies and
British protected persons who are
in this country, including those
who are not of pure European
descent, are now placed into the
armed forces on the same footing
as British subjects from the Uni
ted Kingdom.
“Such is the nature of the help
we are receiving from the em
pire. Eagerly offered and gladly
accepted, it is a splendid example
of free cooperation and ungrudg
ing self-sacrifice in a noble cause
throughout the lands which owe
allegiance to the King.’’

The contractor continued:
“Take a simple thing like install
ing a kitchen cabinet. It would
be much cheaper if the builder
would buy from the manufacturer
a cabinet with drawers and doors
fitted, hardware applied and com
pletely finished. But no! We must
buy all parts separately, have the
doors fitted by one union, hard
ware applied by another and have
the painters’ union paint it. This
multiplies the costs.”
