c- ?
They're huddled in their narrow
pits, 'mid sleet and ice and
snow, and now and then a bullet
Inttc lavs a soldier low.
Numbed by the north wind's icy
breath, and beaten by the blast,
they dodge such messengers of
death as may be whizzing past.
And thus a million useful guys
are uselessly employed; such
work as theirs is most unwise, of
common sense devoid. What
boots it if the soldiers shoot until
they're tired of gore, and put a
crimp in some galoot they never
saw before? Ah, better far, on
frosty morn, to hitch a span of
mules, and in the field go shucking
corn with modern husking
tools! 1 d rather have a husking
peg than have a sword or lance,
and rob a stranger of his leg, or
wound him in the pants. I'd
rather bring home from the field
a load of golden ears than pack
irntmrl *1 ctllv clttplrl orirl nrnrl
folks up with spears. I'd rather
take a monkey wrench and fix a
sulky plow than be a hero in a ;
trench, a helmet on my brow. I
do not jeer at soldiers brave who
suffer in the field, who follow
where their banners wave, and
warlike weapons wield; I have no
cheap insulting flings the blood- J
stained soldiers for; I merely josh ,
the tin horn kings who sent them <
forth to war. WALT MASON. ;

Negroes in the Army. <
To The Editor of The Star: 4
Referring to James Croggon's state- 1
ment that "judging from some of the 1
muster rolls, where the word 'negro' j
appears with their names, there were i
not many such in the service, though j
the law was silent as to color." Ban- i
croft, volume 6, page 142, speaking of 1
the battle of Monmouth, says: "So many 1
histories omit to record that, of the 1
'revolutionary patriots' who 011 that
day periled life for their country, more
than 700 black Americans fought side
by side with the white." On page 300,
same volume, the well Informed historian
remarks: "The question of recruiting
the army by the enlistment of
black men forced itself on attention.
The several states employed them as
they pleased, and the slave was enfranchised
by the service. Once Congress
touched on the delicate subject; and in
March, 1770, it recommended Georgia

thirty-iive years of age; and the
recommendation was coupled with a j
promise of 'a full compensation to the ,
proprietors of such negroes for the j
property.* The resolution appears to |
have been adopted without opposition. \
North arid South Carolina having both <
been represented in the committee that \
reported it. But South Carolina refused
by great majorities to give effect (
to the scheme." Bancroft's history is ?
full of reference to the part taken by \
negroes as soldiers in the revolution- ;
ary war. both in the northern and \
southern campaigns, and judging from
the difficulties Washington had in
keeping and recruiting his army, and
his well known sentiments in favor of
employing negroes as soldiers. I have '
no doubt that many su< h served and ,

Newton Gilbert Entertains With a
Talk on the Philippines and
Their Peoples.
a
The Indiana Society and six Hoosier
joy champions in corn club work met
n the Chamber of Commerce Hall last
light. From cornfield to chairs of hon>r
in their state society meeting in the
National Capital was the good fortune
hat the six boys and J. D. Harper, who
s in charge of them, little expected
vhen they arrived, after a long, tiresome
ride from Indiana, to spend the
emainder of the week here.
Just as Mrs. I;. N. Fouts had finished
ler talk on "Early Indian Boundaries
>f Indiana" some one who had rounded
lp the corn boys as they were preparng
to retire at their hotel marched
:hem into the Chamber of Commerce
lall. It was a case of "when Hoosier
neets Hoosier." R. K. McKahn-, first
.ice president of the society, who presided,
greeted the boys and led them
o chairs in the front of the haft.
Boys* Work Explained.
A reception followed, and then Mr.
iarper was asked to tell about his
charges and the work they had done
o secure the trips to Washington.
rVhile he did so the "corn boys" sat
he center of all eyes?kindly eyes, too.
Vt different times in his talk Mr. Har>er
presented a boy to illustrate his
emarks, and they received enough ap)lause
to wake the sleepiest and most
"atigued corn grower that ever put in
lis first night in Washington.
Arthur Trout, one of the boys, was
presented as the boy who the day before
had his picture taken sitting in
Gov. Ralston's state chair at Indianapolis
while the governor stood at his
right hand. The boys come from five
agricultural districts of the state. They
include Freu Thomas or t'osey county, i
state champion; Koy Friedersdtfrf off
Bartholomew county, who secured a j
yield of more than 128 bushels of corn I
per acre; Wayland Zieseness of Lake
county, Arthur Trout of Delaware
county, Roy McArhren of Bush county
ind Earl S. McClure of Knox county.
In Justice to Newton Gilbert, former
yice governor of the Philippines, who
aut recently came from Manila, it
should be said that his informal address
>efore the society would have been the
feature of the evening if it hadn't been
for the corn boys. Mr. Gilbert, who is
,n the city for a short while, having
testified before Congress on the Philippine
question, told of the why and
vherefore of the islands as they appear
Lo him.
Talk on Philippines.
"We have a problem in the Philippine
glands that is an American problem," j
le declared. "Rightly or wrongly, we I
issumed obligations in the islands that i
ire the obligations of the American |
people. And I am in hopes the day will ;
:ome when members of Congress, in
iiscussing Philippine affairs, will lay
iside all party feelings and enter into
he vexed question simply as Americans.
rne nnpinos are cnnaren. uur i
Vmerican administration has done many
hings for them that would have been
leemed impossible fifteen years ago."
Mr. Gilbert told of the work done
ilong sanitary Unes, in educational
work and in straightening out the
ludicial system of the island. Mr. Gilbert
brought out the fact, pleasing to
:he society, that probably a majority
>f the teachers in the islands are na:ives
of Indiana.
The society, at the conclusion of Mr.
Gilbert's talk, unanimously selected the
speaker to bear personal greetings of
rhe society to the Indiana Society of
Vlanila, which has about seventy members,
Mr. Gilbert stated.
Stories Are Belated.
R S. Moore gave an orinigal story,
The Old Chain," relating experiences
>f college days in the seventies at Hanaver
College. Mrs. Carr sang, and several
officers of the society told personal
reminiscences. L?. N. Fouts and Mrs. J.
A.. Huston formed the entertainment
committee.
The corn boys will be in the city until
Saturday night, when they will leave
for Hoosierland. The mornings and
afternoons will be spent in seeing the
government buildings. Mount Vernon,
Arlington and the "Zoo/' and the nights
in visiting the Congressional Library
and city post office. Tonight there is
to be a theater party.
The boys hope to greet President Wilson
while they are here, and Friday an
audience with Secretary Houston of the
Department of Agriculture is planned.

SPEND NIGHT IN JAIL
PENDING COURT'S ACTION
James J. Fletcher and May King
Await Decision on Habeas Corpus
Plea in Conspiracy Case.
James J. Fletcher and May King, whose
application for a review of the Court
of Appeals* decision was recently denied
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, spent last night in the District
jail pending the determination by Chief
Justice Covington of their application for
a writ of habeas corpus.
The two were convicted of conspiracy
and Fletcher was sentenced to the penitentiary
for two years and May King for
one year and one day.
Basis for Appeal.
Through Attorneys H. E. Davis and
James A. O'Shea, the two accused persons
surrendered themselves yesterday
in order to sue out a habeas corpus writ,
so as to get a direct appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Counsel claim that the Court of Appeals
had no right to direct a modification of.
the sentence first imposed by Justice'
Stafford without directing a new trial.
Fletcher was first sentenced to serve
five years in the penitentiary, but the
Court of Appeals directed that sentence
should have been imposed under the
United States penal code, which provides
a maximum penalty of two years.
United States Attorney Uaskey and
Assistant United States Attorney Hawken
opposed the granting of the writ of
habeas corpus, and the chief justice took
the application under consideration.

FOR RELIEF SUPPLIES
Minister VanTDyke Writes From The

States Donations.
"I Come From America" Is Open

Camps and Ruined Cities.

can Red Cross contributions from
the public toward the work to be
undertaken by that organization
in connection with the war
abroad.
"I come from America" is an open
sesame to the refuse camps of Holland
and the ruined cities of Belgium, according
to a letter just received at the
American Red Cross headquarters here
from American Minister Henry Van
Dyke, at The Hague. At that introduction
"the children smile and tears
run down the old people's cheeks," he
writes. "The helpful spirit of generosity
in our country is warmly appreciated
here and in Belgium."
Minister Van Dyke informed the Red
Cross that through the winter it would
be necessary to make provision lor between
two and three hundred thousand
people "who are out of work, out of a
home and out of their country."
Distribution of Supplies.
He gives an interesting account of
the distribution of supplies of food and
clothing among the refugee camps. Mr.
Van Dyke had just completed an in-1
spection of the various phases of relief
work being done in Amsterdam j
when he wrote his letter. He also had
visited other refugee camps and the
ruined cities in Belgium.
"When I returned to The Hague December
22 I found my garage was filled
to the brim with the thirty-seven cases
of clothing, blankets, etc., which the
American Red Cross sent by the steamer
Gorredijk, a splendid and most welcome
gift," the minister writes, under date
of December 29.
Enumeration of Articles.
"I have distributed the cases as follows:
Fifteen cases to the new refugee
camp at Nunspeet, where there are between
seven and eight thousand Belgians
of the ^poorest class : twenty cases to the
central committee for the relief of Belgian
and other victims of the war, at
Amsterdam; two cases to Mrs. Adolph
Boissevain, 540 Heerengracjit, Amsterdam,
who represents the activity of a
number of ladies who are caring for
refugees in private houses in that city. J
"I spent all day yesterday in tne rain
and sleet in inspecting various phases oi'
the work in Amsterdam ; the bureaus of.
registration, the central depots for thej
distribution of clothing, the emergency hospitals,
and many of the private houses
in which refugees have been received and
installed in large numbers. This latter
phase of the work is most interesting,
because so many of the best ladies in
Amsterdam are engaged in it, and giving
their personal strength and skill to carrying
it on. The refugees in these houses
are, of course, much more comfortable
and better cared for than in the larger
general camps, although in these camps
everything that is possible is done for
the welfare of the exiles. The number
is far too great to take care of them
all in this private way, and through the
winter it will be necessary to make provision
for between two and three hundred
thousand people who are out of work,
out of a home, and out of their country.
They cannot return at present to Belgium,
for it is impossible to send people
back to homes which no longer exist except
as heaps of ruins.
For Restoration of Homes.
"The time is coming, I hope, when it
will be possible to put into practical
operation the fund for the restoration of
: Belgian homes and households, which 1
had the pleasure of starting here with
j rnoi^y which was sent from America.
"The work of the commission for relief
in Belgium, into which 1 have made some
careful investigation since my return, is,
I believe, going on very well at present.
Barge quantities of foodstuffs are being"
sent in from America through Rotterdam
to the starving land.
"I wish you could have seen and
heard some of the t&pressions of
gratitude on my little tour yesterday,
and on my earlier tour through the
refugee camps and the ruined cities in
Belgium, tl is enough for a man to
Belgium. It is enough for a man to
ceived with friendly and thankful
looks. The little children smile and
the tears run down the old people's
( cheeks.
"Tell the Red Cross people that I am
grateful for the opportunity of being
a channel ffrr the good which they are
doing."
In a footnote to the same letter, writ.
ten December 30, Minister Van Dyke
ilUVlHe? llic taoco leuci {supplies
shipped by the American Red
Cross on the S. S. New Amsterdam, consigned
to Mme. Loudon, Minister Van
Dyke and the Belgian relief committee,
had just arrived.
The minister had to procure another
building across the street from the
other storing place for the latter supplies.
All Deliveries Properly Made.
With a letter, dated January 1. Minister
Van Dyke inclosed a memorandum
from the commercial attache of the
legation, in which it is made clear that
every single package and article sent
by the American Red Cross had been
properly delivered and all arrangements
perfected for forwarding.
Fifty-four cases were delivered to i
Mme. Loudon December 29, forty cases
were placed in the hands of a reliable j
agent for distribution among Belgian
refugees and sixty-five cases of
blankets were forwarded to the American
minister at Brussels. Ninety-one
cases of hospital garments, etc., were
cleared for the Austrian consul general
at Rotterdam for the Austrian Red
Cross, the Austrian consul general at
Rotterdam later advising that the
goods were being forwarded by him
to the Red Cross at Vienna. Seventyone
cases of hospital supplies were
forwarded. In accordance with directions,

OF COURT OF CLAIMS
<
1
Former Chief Justice Stanton C. *
Peelle Tells of United States
Tribunal's Work.
"The History and Jurisdiction of the
United States Court of Claims" was'
the subject of an interesting paper
read before the Columbia Historical Society
last night by former Chief Justice
Stanton C. Peelle of that tribunal r
at the annual meeting of the society, c
in the banquet hall of the Slioreham. t
Justice Pkelle reviewed the history of (
the court from the time of its establishment
in 1fir>5 tic ?? onmmissinn to
advise Congress in the matter of claims
against the government to its present
status as a distinct part of the judicial 1
machine of the nation.
During the time that the court has
been in existence, he declared, it had i
allowed claims averaging $1,000,000 a 1
year, and disallowed claims averaging *
a similar amount a year. Justice Peelle
remarked that claimants against the
government usually magnify their
claims.
Some of the cases which have come j
before the court were reviewed by Justice
Peelle in his paper, which will form
part of the proceedings of the society.
Officers Are Elected.
Following Justice Peelle's address
the society proceeded to the election of
bfficers, with the following result:
President, Dr. James Dudley Morgan;' j
first vice president, Justice Job t
Barnard: second vice president, Allen j
C. Clark;, treasurer, Corcoran Thorn; d
recordin secretary, Mrs. Mary Ste- j
vens Beall; corresponding secretary, M. ,
I. Weller; curator, James F. Hood;
chronicler, Fred Fishback; manager to r
fill the unexpired term of the late I
Hugh T. Taggart, William King; t
managers for three years, Mrs. Charles e
W. Richardson and Dr. William M. i
Tindall. v
The subject of the paper for the Feb- I
ruary meeting of the society, it was 9
announced last night, will be "Houses c
In and About Washington Where Writ- ?
ers of Note Have Lived," by Mrs. Mar- ?
garet Brent Downing, and at the April *
meeting, Rear Admiral Charles M. a
Stockton, U. S. N., retired, president of s
the George Washington University, c

Father Announces It Will Be Chris- ^
tened "Francis Sayre."
Francis will be the name of President
Wilson's grandson, who was born at the
White House Sunday. The announce- ^
rnent was made today by Mr. Sayre. c
Some of the family wanted to call the
baby Wood row Wilson Sayre or Wood- 4
row Sayre, but the President thought
the child should have an individuality ^
of his own. d
No date has been set for the christen- f
ing. but it probably will be held in the I
White House. President Wilson prob- t
ably will be the godfather. f
Both Mrs. Sayre and the baby continued v
