IN NEW DRAFT ARMY
WASHINGTON D C., Nov. 16.—
W ten the fall strength of America’s
ne v army is ranged on the battle
fr< nt of France, negro troops win
make up approximately one-eleventh
of the men under the Stars and
Stflpes.
Although negro soldiers from Afri
ca! or the West Indies have fought
In jnany European struggles, and fol
lowed some of the greatest command
ers, from Hannibal to Napoleon, the
American contingent Is by no means
at ,home on the European soil.
Since the beginning of the war
both France and Britain have em
ployed African troops on the West
ern front. Their fighting record has
been brilliant, especially that of the
French Senegalese.
While the new American negro
units will be commanded to a great
er degree than ever before by men
of their own race, the bulk of the
officers will be white men. This is
also true of the French^ and British
and Italian negro battalions.
Unde Sam, has in the regular
arnjy four negro regiments which
havfe been raised to war strength and
now number close to 7,000 men.. Two
are (cavalry and two infantry. The cav
alry are the Eleventh, of Carrisal
fame, and thd. Ninth, of whic ban
American general once, said after see
ing the famous French cuirassiers,
supi losed to be the crack regiment of
the srorld: “If I had to go 1000 yards
threugh hell, I would rather have
the Ninth Cavalry back of me than
anything I ever saw.” The regular
arm r negro regiments are officered
exclusively by white West Pointers.
The following negro National
Guard units are now in the federal
service and officered exclusively by
colored officers:
First separate Connecticut Com
pany, 90 men, 1 officer; first separ
ate District of Columbia battalion,
598 men, 11 officers; Eighth Illinois
regiment, 1956 men, 78 officers; first
separate Maryland company, 150 men,
3 officers; Fifteenth New York In
fantry regiment, 2053 men, 54 offi
cers; first separate Massachusetts
company, 150 men, 3 officers. Total
6641 men, 20.1 officers.

'ed from the training camp for negro
officers at Des Moines, lows, s total
of SIS officers—106 captains. 3SO
first lieutenants, 1S9 second lieuten
ants. ,
This total of training camps and
National Guard officers—826—con
stitutes the present visible supply of
colored officers—except a few hold
ing minor staff positions in the regu
lar army. .
The negyo troops drawn for ser
vice are being trained at all the 16,
national army cantonments—in sep
arato battalions and regimente.
When the training is complete, one,
and probably two or three, divisions
of negro troops exclusively will be
formed and one of them will be among
the first national army units sent to
France.
Negroes have fought in all Ameri
can wars, from the Revolution to
the brush at Carrizal. In the Civil
War hundreds of thousands were
raised and did some fine fighting.
There were a few commissioned of
ficers, but nothing like the number
now given commands.
GENERAL GREENE
HAS NEW QUARTERS
CAMP LEWIS, Ifccoma, Nov. 16.—
This was moving day at Camp Lew
is for Major General Greene, his staff
and assistants. The offices weremoved
from the east half of the camp quar
termaster's building, vacated several
weeks ago by Lieutenant Colonel
Stone’s staff, to the new two-story
headquarters building. It is heated
by steam aod well finished. The new
French officers who reported yester
day to serve as instructors, will have
offices in the new building.
At least two of the four national
army men at Camp Lewis caught in
thb drug ring round-up will be tried
by court martial next week, it was
announced today. The military au
thorities are said to have a list of
forty men in the division addicted to
the drug habit, with prospects that at
least two-thirds of them will be dis
charged on the ground of physical
disability.
Major General Greene went to Se
attle last evening and addressed the
University of Washington students on
the army. Captain M. D. Welty, aide
on the general’s staff, accompanied
him.
Willie Ritchie, boxing instructor at
Camp Lewis, attended the smoker
staged by the 363rd and 364tb In
fantry regiments last evening and was
highly pleased with the showing the
men made in the boxing bouts.
ALASKAN MAY JOIN
FAMOUS “GRIZZL1K8”
An opportunity is offered to a
few young men of Alaska to enlist
in the 144th Field Artillery, better
known as “The Grizzlies.”
This organization is expected to go
to France during December or Jan
uary and is increasing its strength
by recruiting an additional 300 then,
and from twelve to twenty young
men of Alaska, who are physically
fitted, may have an opportunity to
enlist in this well-known regiment.
1* is believed that the matter of
trknsportation to the camp of the
“Grikslles” can be arranged after the
allotted number of men have, passed
the requirements for enlistment.
The 114th Field Artillery is-the
only independent organization of its
fctad’in the United States service,
and any Alaskan desiring, to take ad
vantage of this opporunity to enlist
in this already famous regiment
should immediately apply to Surveyor
General Charles B. Davidson In Ju
neau. Quite a number of Alaskans are
members of this organization, aipong
thenf being Dr. H. C. DeVighne of
June&u, and Walter King of Thane.
The number enlisting from this ulcln
ity will be accredited to Alaska’s
quota.
