Negro Troops Pull Razors
And Wade In to Boche Foe
With lie American Troops in

" xan negro soldiers in l''rance are "a
source of tiever-endiiiK; interest and
amu.-.cnient to llie French who do
not tire of watching and listening as
they wield picks anil shovels and
chant as they work in a weird minor
key.
They have shown a fearlessness
ninotintiiii' almost to utter iiuliffer-
Viiee if their white officers are with
thefn a Carelessness where person-
id danger i involved that is at once
amazing and sometimes annoying to
the officers and a desire to light that
amounts to a mania.

Hie words of a colonel who com-
mands a regiment of them and has
for years known a good deal ahoitt
their characteristics is very close to
a fatalist when it comes to fear. Re-
peatedly his own troops handy re-
marks among themselves the gist
jf which is about as follows:
"Don't worry ahoitt that shell
Kasttis It ain't got your number on
it."
And the shell screams by the ne-
groes who believe it had not their
tiumher stand idly around and ex-post-
themselves as they should not.
The colonel fr.mklv admits being
it frahl when big shells are flying
bout and seels cover.
The lirsi regiment which wett in-
to action long ago now went in
primarily because it threatened to
decimate itself in inactivity. Ka.ors
and knives came more and more
freely into play and the men de-
manded so freipien'.ly and so insist-
ent l of their officers why they
mi'.'hl not get some action that it
a-. finally arranged for them. They
proved ipiite as strenuous fighters in
the line as they had behind it.
It goes' without saying that the
fie'ro soldier is as boastful as any
hi a .similar profession. The ma-
rines had just covered themselves

Willi the American Army Wed-
nesday Oct. 2. ( Hy The Associated
Tress) A Brooklyn captain was
isolated in a shell hole with twelve
men while an enemy machine gun
near by poured a hot tire into the
party. Finally the captain was
wounded and ordered his sergeant to
take the men away and save them-
selves if they could. The sergeant
started to carry out the order but
after the men had crawled a few
feet on all fours the sergeant asked
them: 'I think it's bad to go away
ami leave the captain. Do you fel-
lows want to go back anil stay
with him?"
All answered in the affirmative
anil they crept back and rejoined the
captain.' They fought like wild men
and killed with their rifles many of
the Germans who' tried to reach
them. When the gallant party was
relieved later the only man not
wounded was the sergeant.

The Boy From Next Door
VOU used to see him swing gayly down the street radiant with the
A vigor of his sturdy young manhood. One day he came home in khaki;
then his father told you with mingled pride and foreboding that he
had "gone across" with his regiment.
Yesterday his name was on the casualty list "slightly wounded"
and your face grew grave as you thought of the sorrow and suspense o
his father and mother.
From every city street every village every community the boy nexf

Think of these thousands of splendid young Americans reared in
