A Organization to Be Launched With Banquet Wednesday At a Patriotic War Banquet to be held Wednesday, under the supervi- | sion of the Junior War Work council of the Y. W. C. A. the introduction and adoption of the Patriotic league will take place. The banquet will be of a patriotic nature and the menu to be served will be classed as “War Menu.” The object of the Patriotic league will be cxplained and told to the members at the meeting. Leagues similar to the above have becn or- ganized throughout the country and in accordance with this the local as- sociation is making arrangements to launch their stroke on Wednesday, October 24. Every member who registers as a member of the league will be supplied with a button bear- ing the inscription “Patriotic League’ which will distinguish them as mem- bers. The objects, purpose, and work done by other organizations through- out the country is told in part as follows: The Pledge of Members. “I pledge to express my patriotism in this time of war when the whole country is bound together by one great aim and every man and woman is called upon to assume some share in the task confronting us. The homes must be kept, the babies taken care of and cloth made and food cooked. Not only do our own share but the share of the men that have been called to the front. In every real sense the burden and the outcome of this war are in the hands of women. We must square our shoulders and not be swept off our feet by the ne- cessity for temporary adjustments. Our friends and our communities may need us more one year from now than they do at present. So let us build up our health: in order that with strong bodies, calm minds and confident, prayerful spirits we may measure up to the privileges and re- sponsibilities of American girls and women at this time. “There are some of us whose daily work is so taxing that there is no time for special service. the service you can at this time when the country and community are such great As our men are called into military training women will be needed in the factorles, in the shops and on the farms to carry on the work the men have left. Wom- en that have never worked before will be called on. Therefore, time and ef- fort must be taken for preparation for this and should be taken lightly. “There are many ways in which special service may be rewlered. One hundred and forty-three women’s so- cieties in the United States have of- fered their resources to help the country at this time. It is certain that through one of these every wom- an may he able to contribute some- thing definite. “Some of the Patriotic league groups have incorporated the follow- ing patriotic activities in their pro- gram: Forming of canning clubs, sup- plying comfort kits for soldiers, mak- ing garments for children in Belgium and France, adopting a French or- phan and giving from $2 to 3 for his keep, securing literature and other comforts for the men, sewing for the Red Cross, classes in First Aid and Home Nursing, caring for the fami- lies of the men that have been called or are at the front, (particularly helping in the day nurseries,) knit- ting for the U. S. Navy league and making surgical dressings and many other activities of this kind. A ‘“‘waste box” may be kept for the Red Cross in which money which otherwise would go for luxuries would be used to the following effect: “The price of a summer frock will buy a bed in a hospital. “Fifty cents will buy an anaesthe- tic for an operation at the front. “Three dollars will buy anti-toxin sufficlent to save a man’s life. “Twenty dollars will keep eight prisoners of war for one month. “For the sake of the men who rep- resent the manhood of the nation at | arms; for the sake of our influence on younger girls and girls who may never have heen taught these things, we must show at all times under all conditions the kind of womanliness | that helps eve ne to live up to his i or her best. Every girl that is helped to live up to the level of her best is | of untold value to the future of our country. This is a woman’s day and woman’s hour, and we have the chance to mould the future as we will.” In this case | membership league does not re- | quire it, but render whatever special | in | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, [GOALBLACK MEN ARE VERY PuPULARQ Are 2 Strong Factor in Fight for| Democracy (Correspondence of Press.)

All of them know of the fate of the Herrero nation in German South-West Africa, where only a few wandering groups remain alive of what once was a powerful negro tribe. Undoubtedly the most popular of the French colonial volunteers are the coal-black Senegalese. Their courage in the field and their devotion to their white officers have became proverbial. The mentality of these tribesmen 1s almost infantile in its simplicity, but they are quick to learn. Their Adapt(\hlhty is such in warlike matters that they have become ex- pert in very short time with all the most medern weapons. Many of them before coming to France have under- gone training in the colonies and con- sequently are acquainted with Euro- pean drill and discipline. Others are raw recruits, who are exercised first When they reach French soil. The eagerness of all to acquire proficiency with the new weapons is such that even in their hours of rest in their instruction camps they may bhe secen in groups exercising with them and re- peating the words of command in French, which they rapidly learn, It has been asserted erroneously that negro troops are not able to sup- port the strain of a bombardment. There certainly have been instances in which a company of Senegalese, when all its white offices have been picked off by German sharpshooters, has hesitated during an advance, but this was merely because they did not kinow what to do. Douaumont, the battle of the Aisne, the Somme of- fensive, the attack at Laffaux Mill and the defense of Craonne and the California and Casemates plateau have all been scenes of the herolc courage of the negro troops under artillery fire of the most terrific char- acter. A battalion of Senegalese stationed on the spot where the village of Fleury, had once stood on the Verdun front, during the heaviest of the fighting there, made an advance, during which their flank reached al- most of the fort of Douaumont. Then they walkes into an enfilading fire from dozen of German machine guns. The French commander, Captain Chauvin, ordered his men to storm the machine gun positions.
