Staupers, executive secretary of
the association, also said that
Washington with 15 delegates,
Philadelphia with 10, and other
large metropolitan centers along
the seaboard and through New
England with impressive and ac
tive memberships are going to
participate in the discussions and
clinics on nursing subjects.
Of outstanding importance this
year. Mrs. Staupers said, will be j
the role of Negro nurses in the
present defense preparations of
the country. ‘Tremendous emph
asis will be put on the necessity
of not only full participation,” she
declared, “but also for full inte
gration- We feel that this battle
is not only of any one segment of
the many peoples who make up A
merico, but rather the battle of all
who make America their homes.
We, therefore, feel it our duty to
demand and receive the opportun
ity to show our loyalty to the prin
ciples we are all girding to de
fend.”
While the program for the con
vention is now being shaped up,
Mrs. Staupers did say that many
well known persons identified with
public health and nursing in gen
eral will speak before the gather
ing schedule for Aug. 17-22. The
local committee is pitching in. it
was said to make for the greatest
hospitality and comfort far those

THE NEGRO
& NATIONAL
[DEFENSE
This is every Americans emer
gency. It is no more particular
than a hurricane or a blizzard.
There is nothing exclusive about
it. There is nothing exclusive a
bout the war that is flaming in
three continents. Let me remind
you that an aerial bomb draws no
color line.
On June 25th President Roose
velt issued an executive order de
claring (and I quote) “it is the
policy of the United States to en
courage full participation in the
national defense program by all
citizens of the United States, re
gardless of race, creed, color or
national origin ”
Let us look for a moment at the
Negro’s contribution to the def
ense effort. There are 70,000 Ne
groes in the Army .including
more than 400 commissioned offic
ers. Fifty six nurses are now be
ing selected for the Army Nurse
Corps. The Army’s Chief of staff
General Marshall, enjoys the con
fidence of these soldiers as he does
of all our soldiers, and I can as
sure you that he reciprocates that
I confidence. For the first time in
American history there is a Ne

ers are being assigned to the 99th
Pursuit Squadron of the Air Corps
That squadron, comprising 45 of
ficers and 390 enlisted men, now
in training at Chaute Field. Ill
inois, will have an air base near
Tuskegee, Alabama, which has
been designed by a Negro archi
tect and is being constructed by a
Negro contractor- The Tuskegee
base, 1,700 acres in extent, will
be the home field of the only tact
ical Air corps unit stationed in
Alabama. We also have a Negro
unit with the tanks. And we have
Negro units in every branch of the
service, units which are making a
fine record and of which every A
merican, white or colored, may
well be proud.
This is a national crisis. Amer
ica needs every element of her
[ population, and every element of
| her population needs Amrica. This
is a moment when our common
danger is so much more import
ance than any differences among
us that all of our thoughts and all
of our actions must be concentrat
ed on the National necessity.
I want to emphasize the great
opportunity—yes, the duty, which
the emergency affords the aver
age citizen, white or colored, of
getting acquainted with our new
Army. The army itself is made
up largely of average citizens.
Everyone can help to make b|e
more pleasant for the men who
constitute it, particularly when
they are on leave in or passing
through the larger cities. The
civilian population of the South
and the Southwest can be espec
ially helpful in such a collabor
ation, since the preponderance of
our military population is in that
area.
No one dare question the Negro
citizen’s loyalty, and none dare
question his courage—such cour

More Planes —More Speed —
MORE TELEPHONE CALLS!
The telephone is helping speed up the pro

Never before have such heavy demands
been put upon the telephone, particularly in
the larger cities and over the principal long

The vast national defense demands for telephone
service are being met promptly and fully but doing

generally, is a tremendous undertaking.

eral Pershing, who will celebrate
his eighty first birthday next
month, but who still puts the safe
ty and securit of his country be
fore everything else and who may
well be called the father of Nat
ional defense.
General Pershing writes:
nI am pleased to state that my
own experience with Negro troops
has left me a favorable impression
of their soldierly qualities and ef
ficiency. The old 10th Calvaiy,
a colored regiment with which I
served in Cuba, acquitted itself
with distinction, and our colored
troops in France during the World
War gave a good account of them
selves and contributed to the suc
cess of the AEF- The following
extract from a cablegram I sent
the War Department in June, 1918
testifies to the splendid spirit
found prevalent among them:
‘‘ ‘Exploit of two colored infan
trymen some weeks ago in repell
ing much larger German patrol,
killing and wounding several Ger
mans and winning Croix de Guerre
by their gallantry, has roused fine
spirit of emulation among the col
ored troops, all of whom are look
ing forward to more active serv
ice. Only regret expressed by
colored troops Is that they are not
given more dangeous work to do.”

And tonight all America salutes

which he is so effectively and so
loyally playing to protect our
common country.

CORNHUSKER
GOLF NEWS
by LAWRENCE LEWIS
In a few days the members of
the Cornhusker Golf club will
know if they have accomplished
that which they have been work
ing for. We have worked very
hard and the stretch drive may
show its effects on our golf game
but like a good horse, we hope we
may continue In the stretch to
come out the winner.
Jesse Hutten, this reporters
choice as Cornhusker golfer num
ber one, has been rounding his
game into shape. He must be at
his peak form to stand up against
his outstate rivals. “Gabby”
Watson, “Penny” Murray, John
Mickens, John Simms, Boyd Gal
loway, and Jay Murrell are my
choice to be right on his heels.
Many believe Lonnie Thomas will
be in there cose, but I have never
been so fortunate to see him play,
so I cannot place him among the
leaders. I hope they are right be
cause we will need every good
golfer we can get.
Probably the most talked about
golfer in the Cornhusker Golf
Club is your reporter. At one
time he was considered as one of
the most dangerous golfers in the
club, but during the past year his
game has went completely to piec
es. Being the most uncertain
golfer in the club I leave him com
pletely out at the running. He
must prove his worth to me if he
wishes to be placed among the
leaders.
Many social events are planned
for our visiting guests. Two
dances and picnics head the list.
There will also be a tour of the
city. Many other social clubs
have volunteered their services to
us. House parties are being plan
ned—swimming parties will be
imade up, it is almost certain that
3veryone will have a grand time.
The Cornhusker Golf Club wish
o thank all of the persons giving
them advertising for their “golf

he clubs who are giving their
services. We deeply appreciate
the time and work given by those
social organizations.
