never forgive what the Germans
did there in the years before the
' World war—floggings and execu-

all of these while the country was

these very means, into the power

The eldest son of King Rudolph
Manga Bell (paramount chief of
"the whole country who was shot by
the Germans just before the great
War) was the first to volunteer.
Legally speaking since Cameroon
was never conquered; he should at
present be the king of the Duala
division of his country.
The ‘Petit Parisien” writes: “Since
the first days of the mobilization
the Cameroonians have expressed
their sentiments towards France and
their actions are in accord with
these. One chief has ordered to
furnish the families of the mobilized
men with aU the foodstuffs as they
may need.” Members of tribes in
* ′ the western part of the country
have already brought big stocks of
potatoes, eggs, and chickens to “the
ladies whose husbands have gone
off to defend our heads.” I think
these words deserve to become im-
mortal; one would like to see them
written into a world history in
their own tongue.
Suh, and many other demonstra-
tions for France, do not show this:
not only are the German brutalities
ever present in memory, but also
* the Germans were incapable funda-
mentally, with their creeds of ra-
cial domination (which have merely
increased to “Aryan superiority"
Under Hitler) to govern or admin-
istrate, even from their own point
of view. After all, remember that,

"For us as a mandated people,

can volunteer.” And they have!

Veterans Told Not
ToTake Claims To D. C.
, WASHINGTON.—(ANP)—Through field station sub-
divisions of the Veterans’ administration, General Frank T.
Hines, administrator of veterans’ affairs, has advised vet-
erans with compensation claims to press them through prop-
er regional channels instead of coming to Washington, under
the mistaken impression of obtain-

given at the suggestion of a recog-

Circles Wonder Why
DALLAS.—Social circles of Dallas
are abuzz this week over the sud-
den departure of Mrs V. Alyce
Anderson from the employment of
the Crawford Undertaking Com-
pany as secretary to Manager A. A.
Braswell. Persistent rumor has it
that Mrs. Anderson’s departure was
due to the decision of Mrs. Craw-
ord, owner of the company, who
seems to have thought that a sec-
retary whom Mr. Braswell knew
less well would serve the institu-
tion better.
Mrs Anderson had worked as
secretary to Mr. Braswell for sev-
eral years. It has been announced
in certain quarters that Miss Mil-
dred Brooks of the Dallas Express
office would take the place vacated
by Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Anderson
is now working for the Excelsior
Life Insurance Company.
Mrs. Crawford, when interviewed
first said that she had no statement
to make, but in the course of con-
versation, she said that she felt it
was her privilege to hire and fire
employees whenever she got ready;
that she did not consider it a mat-
ter of news. Mrs. Crawford also
said she did not want to humiliate
any one. She added that she was
. not affected by “general gossip,”
since any woman might be suspect-
ed of a man when working for
him.
Efforts to get a statement from

was told that he was out of town.

Hospitals Cheap in Long Run
"The maintenance of good mental
hospitals for Negroes is costly,
though economical in the long run
. . and state legislatures appro-
priate funds when public opinion,
demands it .. .
“A large number of the ills to
which mankind is heir are much
more akin to the results of disap-
pointment and frustration which at
fect the mind, than they are to acci-
dents and disease, which affect the
body. Treatment by mental means
of these disorders and difficulties of
the mental man, is called psycho-
therapy . , . Unfortunately, not all
of our mental hospitals are up to
the desired standard as that afford-
ed Negro patients by the Veterans
Administration (Tuskegee Institute).
"To maintain high standards of
work in mental institutions highly
competent medical and nursing
staffs are necessary, with special
training in this field. There is a
dreath of such personnel, not only
in the hospitals, but also in the
clinics and the child guidance field,
where prevention is the keynote.
"Thus the challenge of the mental-
ly ill is before us—and the National
Medical Association meets that chal-
lenge on behalf of 13.000.000 Amer-
ican Negroes. The rapid increase of
mental disease, like other enemies
cf men, must be conquered by med-
ical science.
