“SIDELIGHTS ON NEGRO
SOLDIERS.”
Charles H. Williams of Hampton Insti
tute Tells Straightforward Story ot
Service of 400,000 American Negro
Soldiers—Race Wins Recognition
for Patriotism Efficiency, Courage —
Negro Officers Make Good.
(By Wm. Anthony Aery.)
Hampton. Va., Dec.—The loyal and
effective service of 400,000 American
Negro Soldiers throughout the Wor j
War, the excellent qualities of leader
ship shown by the 1000 Negro Office.*s
who "saw things through” in France,
the untiring and cheerful work of the
Negro Btevedores in laying the ground
work for combatant troops the success
ful efforts which were made by white
and colored, welfare workers to im
prove the conditions of Negro soldiers
in and near their camp^v and the rec
ords of Negro combatant troops—this
story has been told simply and in a
straightforwara manner by Charles H
Williams, director of physical educa
tion for boys at Hampton Institute, ia
"Sidelights on Negro Soldiers,” a 2d0
page book recently published by B. J.
Brimmer Company of Boston.
Benjamin Brawley, Raleigh N. C.
professor of English at Shaw Univer
sity, has written the introduction
which states the problem that the Ne
gro in uniform had to face in America
and in France. This problem was a
highly complex one and for its solution
there was required the co-operation ot
many agencies.
FACTS BRING RESULTS.
Charles H. Williams, because of h?a
l».ng experience in executive work and
bis insight into Negro character, \v*is
selected as a special investigator of
conditions among Negro soldiers. With
the approval and co-operation of t'v»
Secretary of War ami the Adjutant
General of the Army of the United
States* he spent a total of eighteen
months in the United States and in
France visiting those places in which
Negro troops were stationed, with a
view to getting facts and making rec
ommendation" for improving their wel
fare.
“Sidelights on Negro Soldiers” givcs
in well-arranged order the specific In
formation which' is needed to sh ov
Low American Negroes met the call to
the colors; how they fared in thei/
camps; how the Negro officers were
trained, in spits of the numerous ob
stacles which were placed in their way;
how the Germans attempted to inf u
ence the Negroes to turn against tne
United States; how the Negro troops
suffered in France from systematic
propaganda against them; how the
problems arising from camp follow
ers, especially women, were met and
solved; how the ‘Y’ and other weltare
organizations ministered to the nee'’s
of Negro soldiers, usually with grea.
success; how the stevedores "carried
on” amid hardships and numerous d'S
couragements; how th|e well-known
92nd and 93rd Divisions were organiz- i
ed and trained; and how the Negro
units played their part in helping to
win the World War.
The concluding chnpter “Horn
Fire?*. ’ tells the story of what was ac
compished by the Negro soldier, whe
won recognition on account of merit
end who showed his fellow white sol
dier-i that he ha* an unfailing l*el!ef
in GGod and faith enough to believe
that great good would come out of
many evil/? and hardships.
prayer a Power in war.
“One night.” says Charles H. Wil- '
Hams, “before 1hey went over the top
six hoys were in a dug-out. After taik
*ng things ovej*. one suggested that
they say the Lord’s Prayer. Onlv one
knew It; hut while a game of dice wn
going on in another corner, the Mt'i *
group knelt pnd repented the words
gathering strength for the attack thaf
was to eome before the new day. Hear
ing a slight noise toward the close
they turned and saw thht a major had
come into the dug-out. 'Let's say It
again, hoys,’ he said 'it gives me
more courage, too.' Then they knelt
J.gnln and the officer Joined with them
In the prayer.”
“Sidelights on Negro 8oldlers.” ac
cording to Newton D. Raker forme*

the struggle of the Negro for a f« :

will realize the service the race hao
rendered in a great emergency and
may be culled upon to render again *n
some future crisis.”^
In the method of presentation no
tempt has been made to gloss over
fvils that existed. No attempt is made
to be harshly critical. The truth ib
stated In kindness but with incisive
ness and with important facts and fig
ures.
MEN ARiE DRAWN TOGETHER.

Americans w’ho wish to know what
Negro soldiers actually did and patient
ly suffered. In order to help win the
world struggle for demoeracy, will
find in this concise interesting book
an opportunity to secure information
which could only be gathered by a
thoughtful, courageous man who had
visited the Negro soldiers in ma.iy
sections of the United States and
France—andi always with an open
mind.
As men and women study the results
of the World War. they discover, for
example that Just as 400 000 Ameri
I can Negroes received a new outlook on
Re on account of their war experiences
so citizens of the United States and
• other countries received a new insig>t
into the capabilities of American Ne
; groes by studying their loyal intelli

j Men who fought vide by side through
I the World War will find in this small
book an opportunity to study the proh
lems which they have in common and
the forces of righteousness and gool
will which draw’ them together as
American citizens.
