Excerpt from Colored Troops in the French Army: A Report From the Department of State Relating to the Colored Troops in the French Army and the Number of French Colonial Troops in the Occupied Territory

Finally, it should be called to the attention of your committee that these accusations against the French troops are also reaching Amer ica direct from Germany. As evidence of this there are inclosed photostat copies of two printed appeals sent in the mail from Germany to American citizens and by them forwarded to the department. The leaflet entitled The Black Evil reached America inclosed in a German magazine. You will note that there is no printer's mark and that the American flag at the top is evidently intended to indi cate that it was printed in America. Several of these leaflets have reached the department and copies have been sent to the Postmaster General for such action as he may see fit to take. The second leaflet, entitled An Appeal to Americans, contains the accusation against the French colored troops only as a further argument for American assistance.
