"The report of all their commanders unite in commending
the Negro soldier . ..
" Lieutenant-Colonel Baldwin, in his report of the battle of
Sen Juan, says: 'They (the Negroes) exhibited great bravery,
obeying orders with unflinching alacrity,' aad he recjmmends
a number of the men for special bravery."
How well the American warriors of color performod in
the heat, the shock, the blood, and hell of Cubin battlefields
is strikingly ie:orded in the contemporary press of that lay.
Examining at random, papers throughout the country, we
quote—
From the New York "Mail and Express": "All honor to
tki black troopers of the gallant Tenth No more striking ex-
ample of bravery -and coolness has been shown sL'.ce the de-
struction of the Maine than by the colored veterans of the
Tenth Cavalry during the Sutack upon San Juan. By the side
of the intrepid Rough Riders, they followed their leader up
the terrible hill frcm whose crest the desperate Spaniards
poured down a deadly fire of shell and musketry. They never
faltered. Tlie rents in their ranks were filled as soon as made.
Firing as they marched, their aim was splendid, their coolness
was superb, and their coiu'age aroused admiration of their
comrades. Their advance was greeted with wild cheer* from
the white regiments, and with answering shouts they pressed
onward over the tranches they had taken, close in pursuit of
Ae retreating enemy. The war has not shown greater hero-
ion. The men whose own freedom was baptized with blood,
five proved themselves capable of giving up their lives th'at
others may be free."
From the Springfield ' Republican": "At San Juan Hill
three companies of the Twenty fourth Infantry (colored) lost
^reryene of their officers before the fighting Was over Four
of the regimental captains were knocked over by Spanish bul-
itts within a minute of each other, and the lieutenant-colonel
wa* severely wounded Company F in 'a short time had only its
captain left, and no other commissioned officer. It is said that
tie Twenty fourth bore the brunt of the battle around 8anti-
fio, the Spaniards directing their main attack upon them on
the theory that the Negroes would not stand the punish
ment. Yet, whole companies remained steady without a single
officcr. As a final display of their remarkable discipline and
nerve, this regiment of Negroes under the hottest fire of the
day, charged front forward on its tenth company,' which is
called a maneuver not altogether easy on a peaceful parade
ground it home. The value of the Negro as a soldier can
hardly be doubted after that day's work. While we are dis-
tributing cards of merit to generals and commodores, let us
not forget the colored soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry."
From the Washington "Post": "If it had not been for the
Negro cavalry, the Eough Riders would have been extermi
nated I am not a Negro lover. My father fought with Mos-
by's Rangers, and I wis born in the South, but the Negroes
sTared that fight, and the day will come when General Shafter
wflH give them credit for their bravery."
From the New York "Sun": "Meanwhile the Ninth Cav-
alry (colored) advanced steadily At 3 o'clock in the afternoon
tlje First and Tenth Cavalry came up. as did also the Rough
Rulers. Captain Taylor took the Ninth out and flanked the
enemy on the left between our troops and the river. The
juagle was up to their shoulders. All the troops advanced
into this. The enemy had recovered, meanwhile, and was
sanding a heavy fire into our ranks. Men were dropping ev

other side, the Spaniards pouring shot into them at a lively
rate. They could no more (top the advance, however, than
they could have stopped an avaianche.
"The blockhouse, a hundred yards away, continued its
fire, and contested every inch of the advance. The yelling and
enthusiastic Americans charged on the blockhouse, driving the
enemy before them. The enthusiasm of the Ninth Cavalry was
at its highest pitch . . . Only 'annihilation could drive them
back: the Spaniards could not."
Leaving the press reports, we turn to the words of a
young lieutenant who was destined to later command Ameri-
ca s military forces in the great t armed conflict that this or
any other, nation has ever seen—John J. Pershing, who, in de-
scribing the action before Santiago de Cuba, said, "We . . .
cculj have taken our black heroes in our arms." We quote
from a lecture delivered by Lieutenant John J. Pershing, of
the Tenth Cavalry (who later was to become commande. n-
chief of the American Expeditionary Forces during the World
War), at the Hyde Park M. E. Church, Chicago, Illinois, on
the occasion of b patriotic thanksgiving service, Sunday, No-
vember 27, 1868. (Lieutenant Pershing was quartermaster of
the regiment, being with the headquarters continuously aft:-r
landing, and was acting regimental adjutant after the morn
ing of July 2, when Lieutenant Barnum, the adjutant, w'as
wounded.)
" . . . . The losses of the day were heavy—the Tenth Cav-
alry losing half of its officers and twenty per cent of its m:n.
We officers of the Tenth Cavalry could have taken our bkek
heroes in our arms They had again fought their way into our
'affections, as they had fought their way into the hearts of the
American people. Though we had won, it had cost us de&r'y;

ITALY ETHIOPIA
Musaollnl, the dictator of Italy,
has set his face like flint, Intent
to poasesa Ethiopia. The pence
conference committee at Geneva,
after hours of straggle, has come
short of a peace settlement. At
every turn of foreign diplomacy,
the dictator of Home answers In
«o many words 'Italy must have
her "pound of flesh." Entirely In
the grip of the passion for free-
dom, I "at rick Ilenry was heard to
►ay: "Give me liberty or give
lue death"; obsessed with greed
and the. spirit of plunder and pill
age, Musaollnl says to the con
ciliatory council at (ieneva: "Utrc
me Ethiopia and her riches or
give me death."
We couie now to ask what it is
that Italy really wants? Is It on-
ly more territory In order to sat-
isfy her over populated condition?
Think before yon answer. What
waa Italy looking for In Etbldpia
when. In a war, she suffered a
ernSMwg defeat at the hands of
Ethiopia under the Iea(TCf?nTp of
Meiiellk in 1MK! at Adowa? The
answer is not far to seek. Bhe
waa looking for wealth. The
writer does not hesitate to arer
that the underlying purpose of
Italy's threatening war with Kthi
opla at such a time as this Is
none other than wealth-seeking.
We arc not saying that Italy la
not over-popu!ate<T but what we
are affirming Is that her congest-
ed conditions only offer an excuse
for an attempt to satisfy a most
unrighteous and self-seeking am-
bition.
The peace conference that ad-
journed Tuesday opened afresh
yesterday. The Christian think-
ing world awaits with abated
breath to hear the results. Will

will he persist in an effort to

incuts. 1'roteius are indispensable
to life. The tells -of the body art-
made up of protoplasm which Is
n protein solution. Fats and car
bohydrates supply most of the
energy of the body.
The body takes food aud oxi-
dizes it to produce energy. This
energy may take the form of heat,
or of muscular work. Every
movement of th: body Is produced
by muscular activity. Fats con-
tuln more energy than the other
foods. Carbohydrates are more
easily oxidized and are necessary
for tbe oxidation of fata. They
act to fats as a pine knot acts
to the bluze of a log fire. Carbo-
hydrates are stored lu tbe liver
and in the muscles of the body.
Fats are stored in all tissues.
There Is very little storage of
proteins In the body.
I'rntelnt are concerned mainly
with growth and repair of the
liody cells. They give to the cells
nitrogenous compounds which
they cau get from no Other source
and which they are not able to
build. With the constant wear
and tear on tbe body cells, pro-
teins must lie available at all
times to meet tbls cell need.
Carbohydrates come In largely
from grain, sugar and regetables.
Fats and proteins are largely of
anlranl origin. The body Is able
to convert large quantltlea of fats
Into carbohydrates, or carbohy-
drates into fats. Small amounts
of protein may be converted Into
carbohydrates. It la true, then,
that a quantity of protein must
lie given to the diet Carbohy-
drates and fat may l>e converted
one to the other. These are the
reasons that tbe prescribing of a
diet must be left to the expert.
In prescribing a diet, age, occu-
pation, and all diseased condi-
tions must be noted. Growing
children require more protein per
pound body weight than adults.
Persons doing heavy work require
more carbohydrates and fats. Dis-
eased kidneys require low proteiu
diet Diabetes requires low car-
bohydrate diet. Persons who are
extremely overweight should have
a thorough examination. There
is usually an excessive conversion
of carbohydrates to fata with a
storing of tbe fats. Watch your
diet. If iu doubt «ce your physi-
cian. _

TILL I WAKE
"When I am dying, leaa over me
tenderly, softly.
Stoop, as the yollow roses droop
In the wind from the ikiuth.

toucb of your lips on my
mouth."
Such ia Laurence Hup* ,,,
