Niti in recordb n history has there been a tin when the Negro rose to greater grander heights of moral gran 1 elir, Negroes are helping to wri one of the -most?dramatic cha ters in the history of the worl The Negro's fight is in reality t 3 "light of faith"; for whereas ti '* white man is fighting for what 1 y lias enjoyed and What he now e joys, the Negro is fighting f ^ what he hopes to .enjoy. Mo then" is his credit! He is givii the world its greatest lesson si "per-pau iotism. He is. therefo -raying the foundation for great 8 uiings in the post-war world. i1. The doors on which he h ). knockud in vain so ltmg must op s, by and by and a thousand thin; el are conspiring to this desired er There fs the divinity that shap e,- haman ends that wil not be d n llied. The divinitv that laid t iy foumiation of the Negro's phy: eT during the^ j ss age, is still at work in nature ai t- 'society and canot be foiled by t in designing forces of a hundr hells. Those Negroes fighting the armed forces of this nati are showing this world somethi it has not seen before namely, lc ' alty and patriotism ut their be rid This article is inspired by V recent conversations with soldit u. on leave. One spoke of his fi s". superior officer for whom 1^ would gladly fight even ur rc death. This officer made him fi u- like a man and treated him os such with all due respect to 1 r_ personality and manhood. Stran il. iy enough he said this officer he nt ed from Virginia, a Virginian ge birth. The other soldier told his fine superior officer who he u. ed from New York state, being ir_ native New Yorker. Here we he y two brave Negro soldiers w ir. white superior officers whose f treatment had made them feel 1 e. giving'their all for their nation These men are the kind to co mand" Negro troops. These n" he by their fine spirits have inspii he their Negro subordinates with 1 so patriotism born of a high mora te It is most deplorable that tin e. stories are too often the extic and. not the general rule. Too < ee ten Negro soldiers are placed i n_ der white officers who have no i as speet for them and their abilit ;s and above all no respect for th? s. personalities. Herein lies t r. mammoth mistake of this a h. ther wars and situations. I know of no more deadly a e. dangerous misfortune that cot j. jefall a young Negro recruit th ,u to be assigned lo the command 7t~ white officers who are incurat rejudiced against Negroes. T1 B. s no simple matter and shou ?? ot be so considered. It is one h he gravest matters before the<: ion and even the united natior v This prejudiced attitude on t t. part of certain white officials n r. mly depresses the "morale of t / Negroes involved lyut it destro ,,l lie morals of conscientious whit if whom the armed forces ha ict a few. Too often men are tgned to white officers who clai o "know the Negro" and tf ir cnowledge consists mainly in knc is ng how to put the Negro in I tr lace. A white man like a bla ? nan has a right to his nrehiHin ^ f authority over Negroes is >o place for a white .man who is pri r diced, i y SOT A MATTER OF SECTIOIS ih "> Be it understand that this is ndictment against white office n of any particular section. It is f* ndictment against any white m who asumes command over Neg ia ?k for whom he has prejudice" ln prejudiced nothern white man , no better than a prejudiced soul ern white man.. It is the prej cr diced white man That we object officering Negro troops. As ' pointed out at the begining one ( ' these fine officers huiled from t ^ south and the other from t h - north.
