THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
WOMAN HOLDS RECORD '
FOR WAR PROMOTION
Mrs. Maude Radford Warren’s Con.
duct Linder Fire Wins Her Hono
rary Majority in “Rainbow
Division.”
Because of her “excellent work
among our men and for the wounded -
at the front during violent bombard
ment, and her heroic and soldier-like
conduct under fire,” Mrs. Maude Rad
ford Warren, noted writer and Y. M.
C. A. canteen worker in France, has
been made honorary major of the
\
j ;.
MRS. MAUDE RADFORD WARREN.
One Hundred and Seventeenth Field
Signal battalion of the Rainbow divi
sion, now in Germany, and Col. It. D.
Garrett of the One Hundred and "Sev
enteenth has issued a decree that she
“will be respected and obeyed accord
ingly.”
Mrs. Warren holds the war record
for the entire American expeditionary
forces for rapid promotion. Less than
six weeks before receiving her ma
jority she was appointed second lieu
tenant of the Three Hundred and j
Fifty-fourth infantry “for her un- i
swerving loyalty and unselfish devo- j
tion In the front lines.”
Major Warren has been in France j
since May, IMS, during which time '
she has been stationed with a number j
of army organizations, in Y. M. C. A. j
canteen service and hospital work, i
She served in the front lines at Glia- j
teau Thierry’, St. Mihiel, in the Ar- j
gonne forest and in the Verdun drive, j
and advanced into Germany with the j
troops of the Forty-second division.
WANT TO GET OUTr
EDUCATIN’ SELVES
Somebody “slipped one over” on
the Colored Development battalion' at j
Camp Travis, and although the joke
at first created consternation among !
the members, it has worked untold T
good in the cases of more than 100 of j
them.
When the order for demobilization i
first reached Camp Travis, rumors
spread thick and fast as to what was
going to he done with the colored j
troops. Some were told they were i
going to he sent to Germany, others .
heard they would he required to re
build torn-up France and Belgium, i
while some even heard that an invad- j
ing army of negroes was going to be or
ganized to restore conditions in Russia. I
.
The most alarming of these reports,
however, was that before any man could
get his discharge from the army he must
learn to read and write, and that he
must sign his own name to his dis
charge papers. Now, the Colored De
velopment battalion is made up chiefly
of illiterates, and only a few of them I
know the alphabet. Anyway, the ne- I
groes saw no hope for future freedom
unless they immediately set to work
“educatin’ themselves,” as some of ,
them expressed It.
The report reached an officer of the
Army Y. M. C. A. and he immediately
saw an opportunity of pushing Ills edu
cational work in these hitherto un
touched ranks. The result has been j
that in the battalion more than one |
hundred negroes have learned to read j
and write and now one of the fads in
the organization Is for the men to carry j
spelling books and readers around
with them. Every time ;m officer isn’t I
looking many of the men jean be found
at their favorite pastime Vof "educatin’
themselves.”
In addition to this 300'others who I
at some time or other had learned to j
read nnd write, but who through negli- i
gence had forgotten how, were able I
to “brush up” and refresh their memo- |
ries to an extent that the.v are able |
to do both again.
There are some 200 otheirs in the
battalion who had been in .school as
far as the third grade, and these have
taken up studies which are in\ advance
of those grades. Three soldier teach
ers nnd three “Y” secretaries have
handled these classes which hitve been
in session from 9 to 11:30 o’clock In
the morning and from 1:15 to s' In the
afternoon.
Officers in charge at Camp k.Travis
arc highly pleased with this work, and j
say it is among the most important !
being done by the educational divi- j
slon of the Y. M. C. A.
