The New York World, dated January 15, 1923, published a statement by Drs. Clark Wissler and Franz Boaz (the latter a professor of anthropology at Columbia University), confirming the assertion of the French that the Moroccan and Algerian troops used in the invasion of Germany were not to be classified as negroes, because they were not of that race. It is wonderful to understand how the French and these gentlemen arrive at such a conclusion, but I believe that it is the old method of depriving the negro of anything that would tend to make him recognizable in any useful occupation or pursuit.
