The Divisional Red Cross Head quarters at Atlanta is sending out an appeal to all its Chapters asking for more care in the knitting of socks. Think of fifty percent of the socks received at the Bureau of Supplies having to be made over or have some kind of corrective measures applied! Most of these faulty ones have to be re-toed. Sometimes a sock is perfect otherwise, but a sharp pointed toe spoils it. These toes lump up in the shoe, and no soldier can march miles and miles with his socks all lumpy in the toe of his shoes. Then often, too often, there are knots. Now knots are very easy to avoid just splice the ends of the thread when it has to be joined. Don't tie it, and say "Nobody'U ever notice it." The soldier will notice it. It is really quite impossible for him to wear a sock with knots. Before handing your socks into the Chapter, see that they are of these dimensions: leg, 14 inches long to bottom of heel, four inches across leg; foot, 11 to 12 inches long, from edge of heel to end of toe. In casting on stitches, do not pay so much attention to the number of stitches as to the number of inches. Let it measure about 4 inches across the leg. And there must not be knots. GENERAL: The following editorial is taken from the Christian Science Monitor of June 22: THE NEGRO SOLDIER AT THE FRONT Once more the attention of the public has been called to the signal service which the Negro troops of France have rendered to the cause of the Allies. Recently that service was made the subject of a complimentary resolution in the French Chamber of Deputies, and it is now announced that a Negro deputy from Senegal is traveling through French West Afri jca with a view to intunsifying volun j lary enlistment amongst the different trbt. that people Muse vast torrl j torles. The announcement could not 'come at a more favorable time than i the present, when the American newspapers are enthusiastically praising the Negro troops of the : United States Army at the front for their bravery, self-abnegation, and ir r 1 Mi mr iinniimj II I pi At All concessions open to the public all day and night. Eminent speakers in the inter est of the war campaign and other -attractions. Take Greenwood Park car. nr exemplary bearing. Numerous bat tallions have been raised among the Negro race for service abroad, and the men who compose th.i'r ranks have manifested much the same en- j thusiasm and comprehension of the i lofty task before them as their white comrades-in-arms. I The war, It is said, has revealed to ! the Negro a new world. As far as iua f iciivu ntrgru lurctiB, wuicu num ber at least 120,000 men, are con cerned, their conception of service has assumed a form of patriotism al most religious In its sincerity. The point to remember with regard to the employment of French black troops Is that they are in a literal sense de fenders of their territories against conquest by a ruthless foe. One of the distinct objects of Germany in attacking France was the capture of the French African colonies. This circumstance was brought out in the conversations between the German Chancellor and the British Ambassa dor in Berlin, on July 29, 1914, when Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg de clared that he was quite ready, in re turn for England's neutrality, to promise that Germany would not an nex , any territory in France but would not make a like prini ise with regard to the French possessions outside of Europe. France thus had no difficulty in achieving a magnificent response to her appeal to the natives of Africa and of Far Eastern colonies to rally to the defense of their land. If one may include the Arabs of Northern Africa under the Banie heading, then it may be literally said that hun dreds of thousands of fighting men from Africa fell Into line in the French ranks and fought on the western front. That rally was a magnificent tribute to the benevo lent and fraternal policy of France In Africa which has secured for her such stout defenders among the peo ple whom she has taken under her protection, and was the best possible answer to the hypocritical protest, which was heard in Germany's note to neutrals, against the employment of native troops in the Entente ar mies. This protest came with poor grace from a nation which had secretly worked to create a Holy War 'in Asia and Africa, and a "black peril" in Africa by fomenting a re volt against the white race in the French and English colonies. Bar red from using its own native troops in Europe, Germany of the conscien tious scruples did not hesitate to use them against the colonial troops de tailed to wrest the German colonies from their unscrupulous owners. On the occasion of Germany's most recent protest on the subject of the employment of black troops, the note, it is fair to assume, was intended to make a particular appe'al to the "sense of humanity" of the American people whose population includes 10,000,000 and more Negroes. But once again Germany failed to gauge the sentiment of other nations, or the mettle of the Negro population of the United States.
