I (I: Associated Nogro PreM NEW YORK — Nefro Bold- iers whether serving under white or Negro officers will always give *‘a good account” of themselves, declared Maj. Malcolm Wheeler - Nicholson, veteran arpy man and author of the book “Blittleshield of the Beppblic,” in an article ia Pie Magazine last week. Answering the question, of the value of Kegro fighting men and the skill of Negro of* fleers, Maj. WHeeler-NichoIson said that, “I’ve seen a near mutiny precipitated among Ne gro soldiers by the abysmally poor handling of a white offic er, and I’ve seen and hearl them wrangling, and refusing to carry out the orders oE efjually ineawble Negro lead ers. The fault in both case was the Sfime, the ipfliction on th-3 soldiers of inept leaders who reached their rank by routine methods instead o| on real leadership ability. The army veteran said it is pof ♦ of ^rlag ¥e- gro fol4ier wfcii? or gro pljficers, but t^ft it is es sential thit be l^e itf e«n bot^ “ As ii93dier, tbjff Kegro ^as ovctm d||ni|Ya^tffe I adyantliges b copjp^sop with tfc» Major periy hao«Hefd, the Np^o sub^t »or« iwif^* unreason |n|p pani«, to s sifrift^r mergiO/ o| bis own persoftality and rfiHsooin|f abiH^y ipio t b 01:0^4 JMind- Frob^ly handlei tM *an>c ehar,»cteri»tic oiakeJ Negrp combat upit* some of t^ ,. fine^ potential shock in th£ worli# sions Negio iritjl : amoog fi(^>l»g qMHt> niM* real istie by the ordeal bx battle to the point of realisation that enemy bullets are. net enrmark ed for any individucl raoe or creed.” King Kibx Triumphs In Port Worth l^T WOBT^i Texas -- tCisir SoIm, hil trumpet and bi> mirbty Band are reported befdinf East after a very fuooeisful tour of the South.

Ne groes have the same normal prejudice to remaining alive that any white mun has, no more, nor any less, and moti vated by a 0ense of duty nnd tbe wish to be respected by their group will fight against ht>pless odds.*' ' Maj. Wheeler-Nicholson who served with Negro troops dur ing World War I said that the white officer who can com mand the respect of Ncgrj troops will be surrounded with so much friendliness that hg jeill be spoiled for Service wjtb any other type. But to accom plish this warned the officer, the leader must learn to apr- preeiate his yirtues and be tol erant pf his faults, and abovu all refute to “brand the many with th$ sins of the few, ana totally to adjure the fault of clnfisifying any racial group with a mass label. “It must be realized,” point od out Maj. Wheeler - Nichol son, “that the Negro is an American, with the same fer.i, ^ates, loyalties, faults, and virtues as any other American. Maybe this is a pretty fair formula for us in any case, here in America, since wo are stepping out of our insular isolation to mix ourselves in tbe destinies of all sorts of people with different colored skina, different religious, dif ferent habits, dress and cus toms, in all part of the world. Our destinira are already in extricably entwined with many diverse elements in our own country.
