The South does not want colore'' men to get any kind of military train ing, nothing fr'gbter.s 'it more tbur the tboirht of back millions .disclnlin 'i. o'""ni'ed and dsngeroiisly effec ilve. That is why Vardaman is so bittci'v oi"oned to universal military Tho meeting was called to order at :i:io p. m., by the president, Mrs. A. !.. Thomas. 1. No one could make a greater mistake than to think that the Aim1 wants colored men to join this camp. The Army officials want the camp t: fail. They refuse to set a time or place until two hundred men amdy because tney know that this makes I harder to recruit men for the camp xney merely want to be able to s" that they have given the colored peo ple a fair chance and the colored e" pie refused to take advantage of tVr opportunity. The last thing the Army wants Is to help colored men to be come cummissloned officers. 2. This .project Is Intended to FIGH"" segregation in the Army and not to help it. If there were enough men At to 'be officers It would not oe neces sary; we could fight for a wldeoic army with that material. But t "" are not enough men. The New To-'-Negro reiriment could not fiDd P-n!v men to fill the commission. TT" war comes, we do not wish to be same position.
