NEGROES WANTED A6AIN
FOR SERVICE IN ARMY
For First Time In Three Years
Government Is ^sking Recruits
Negroes are again being re
cruited in the United States
army.
For three years the policy of
the government has been to e -
Hit no new colored troops, and it
has been said that the days of
negro soldiers in the United
States army were numbered.
Though these troops, composing
four regiments in the regular
army, have done excellent work
in several campaigns, in times of
peace they prove rather trouble
some, and officers in the army
freely predict after the Browns
ville trouble that no new men
would be taken into the service.
Lieutenant John Symington,
recruiting officer in Atlanta,
Monday received orders from
Washington to begin recruiting
negroes for the twenty-fourth
■infantry. This regiment has
been ordered to the Phillipine
islands, and will go there at an
early date. Some 600 negroes
will be recruited.
There are at present four ne
gro regiments in the army, and
these are all needing new men.

hut that will all wear off after a
while,” but it never.wore off. She
was always full of gentleness and
love for the people.
Mrs. General Hatton, her mother,
