EAGLE'S SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT WRITES FROM THE FRONT. The Old Familiar Ring Is Apparent From Trenches In France. Sept. 17, 1918. My dear Mr. Bass: For sometime I have wished to write to you but business has been a little too rushing. At present a few of those enjoyable moments of reflection are mine. I have them with you. Life over here is very interesting and gripping. To see the many peoples gathered on the soil of France and to note their attitudes one toward the other is something never to be forgotten. It seems providential too that such a host should meet where democracy is really king and liberty is given a full expression. God indeed works in wonderful ways. The issues at stake receive an impetus here that I seriously doubt could elsewhere be given en. One would think that the character of our enemy let alone the shrapnel-filled shells and thetheas-fumed air would cause the subsiding of any spirit at variance with our aims, but not so. Many times my heart has been punctured with pain, and my patience tried. Nothing but the grace of God will ever change the heart ```markdown ``` The California Eagle of some people I chance to know very well. Germany must be whipped, more than that she will be whipped, but America's greatest job is the conquering of herself. I speak in no tone of despair. We know that from this bloody conflict some good is coming. We think not only of ourselves either. But we are fighting no sham battle and when victory is gained will accept no sham democracy. It is time that this be known and the anxious minds of many set at ease. The boys fight well all along the line. Nobly have they walked in the steps of those who want before. Death has seemingly no terror for them. They are willing if needs be to go, but insist on taking more than one German with them. No order to the contrary has yet been issued. Fatalism has many converts. I am sorry to say such is ever the result of war, while tinged with a brazen disregard of past experiences, it is very difficult to combat. The church has a mighty challenge to face in days to come. May she now prepare. Heaven, Hell or Hoboken by Xmas is the slogan of some overe her—But Ham says, "Heaven, Hell or Democracy," crude in a way, yet it indicates the deep purpose within.

Give my San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland HABEAS CORPUS FOR RELEASE OF SOLDIERS IN THE HOUSTON RIOT WHAT ARE OUR LEADERS DOING? kind regards to Mrs. Bass, also others associated with you—I will write again soon. Yours sincerely, Chaplain B. C. Robeson, The Kansas Defense Society is an organization instituted for the purpose of testing the constitutional rights of the race along civil, political and other lines that may be necessary to bring about justice and sentiment in behalf of the race in this country. This organization was formed because of the conviction and legal lynching of the thirteen soldiers of the 24th Infantry at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, last December, 1917 for participating in a riot at Houston, Texas, in August of the same year. It will be remembered that these soldiers were acting in self defense from the fact that they had been mistreated and assaulted by the police of Houston and it had been reported to them that a mob of white men had threatened to swoop down upon their camp and drive them out. Acting on this information the soldiers prepared themselves, and receiving orders from non-commissioned officers that the mob was descending upon them, they began to fire and at the same time marching upon the town, which action resulted in the death of several persons. They were taken to Fort Sam Houston, disarmed and through the policy of Texas officers investigation was started, and some weak-minded soldiers from the South who had been in the service only a few months were induced to turn state's evidence on a promise of immunity. From what we have read of the trial it seems that this was a kangaroo court and the men were never fairly tried. There have been three court martials. Sixty-three soldiers were tried in the first, which resulted in the hanging of thirteen without their cases ever being reviewed by President Wilson. Forty others were sent to the Federal prison for life, and the remaining ten were disposed of in various ways. Three or four were sent to military prison, and a few were given jail sentences. A second court martial resulted in the conviction of sixteen, which sentences President Wilson has just approved. This makes a total of nineteen brave colored soldiers to be executed for participation in the Houston riots. The evidence shows that this riot at Houston occurred in the night when it was very dark and it was impossible to tell who were taking part. These soldiers were convicted upon circumstantial evidence given by soldiers forced to testify as they did on account of fear or promises made them for their own safety. W. J. Wheaton. Reading and listening to the speeches of the men in whose hands are intrusted the future destiny of the race—our leaders—we are enchanted by the pictures drawn of the changed conditions, brought about by the industrial necessities of the "Great World Upheaval." The struggle for democratic ideals. But are they preparing the masses of our P. S. Keep the Home-frees Burning and don't forget to pray. all evidence and findings must be submitted to the president of the United States, and this was not done in the case of these soldiers, but their sentences were approved by the commander of the southern department. This being true, these men are being illegally held in the federal prison and should be given their liberty. The Kansas Defense Society, of which Nick Chiles is president, has employed three colored attorneys to bring habeas corpus proceedings in the United States District Court, and if necessary will carry this case to the highest court in the land. Attorney T. W. Bell, one of the leading lawyers of Kansas, located at Leavenworth; E. T. Barbour of El Reno, Okla., and Elisha Scott, a young attorney of Topeka, have been employed and the case. No. 1933 was filed at Topeka, Kansas in the United States District Court Friday, Oct. 4, 1918. We are now asking the public and friends of the race to contribute as much as they can afford to assist us to properly prosecute this case. We have consulted several lawyers of prominence, and they all agree that this case can be won, and the Kansas Defense Society, believing this to be true, has employed these attorneys. As editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, a newspaper published in the interest of the race, we feel that it is our duty to take up all matters of this kind. Our people have been bartered, bargained, and sold by members of the race, and cruelly, unmercifully, and maliciously assailed by the white race long enough. When we think of the East St. Louis riot, the hanging of these nineteen soldiers, and the brutal lynching of a colored woman by a Georgia mob a few weeks ago, it is enough to make the beasts of the forest frown, to say nothing of the effect it would have upon a human being. This woman, who was so heartlessly treated, was about to become a mother, and she was hanged by her feet and split open with a sharp instrument, and the babe dropped from her and was stamped to death by some member of the mob. It is a shame and disgrace upon Christian civilization to have such things exist in this country, and some methods should be used to hire detectives and officers to run down these lynchers and bring them to justice. As aforesaid, the Kansas Defense Society is soliciting funds to be used in this case, and anyone desiring to help will write NICK CHILES, President of the Kansas Defense Society, Editor and Owner of the Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas. people for that greater war when the battles for existence must be fought? Are they planning the grand strategy that will, not only enable us to retain the hold which we have gained in the marts of labor, but to become permanent factors in the fields of production? In the glamor of improved conditions of the present have we lost sight of the demands of the future? Greater battles will con- front us with the conclusion of the war than those which our boys are so grandly facing "over there." They will be pittiless struggles for existence. Then, what of the inevitable, relentless, industrial war that shall come with the readjustment of conditions when peace shall be declared, and the millions of men and women now engaged in the pursuits occasioned by the war, shall be injected into civil life? Is it not time that we should be plannig, so that we may take our place in the fore-front of the army of rehabilitation? We must not lay too great stress on the favorbale conditions existing at the present. There must be preparation made for the time when the riveting hammer will cease its continuous roar on the giant hulls in the ship-yards; when the feverish haste of the munition factories will be abated, and the entire fabric of our industrial factories will seek its normal level. The problem affecting labor will be among the most momentous that the government will have to solve. The ship-yards, munition factories, and the industries necessary to the carrying on of the war will pour their multitudes into the ranks of labor, and the toiler instead of being able to dictate terms of employment will be a drug on the market. Also there will be the return of the millions of men and women now over sea. True, we know that the demobilization of great, armies, and the transportation of them, and the multitude of supporters back to America will not be accomplished in a few days or weeks, nevertheless, no difference how gradual the restoration, this great influx will impose a vast strain on the home industries. Those men and women will demand—and rightly—places in the industries of the nation. Maimed, and battle-scarred soldiers will ask, and not be denied, the privilege of earning a living; they will have the right through sacrifice to the preference. Positions, hitherto the prerogative of men, but now held by women will not be relinquished without a protest; the whole, entire, system of industry will re realigned. The Negro cannot continue in the army of consumers and live; he will inevitably be relegated to a lower status in the labor world than was his lot before the out-break of this world war; that will be the natural sequence in the peaceful, but inexorable, fight for domestic existence. He must produce; he must prepare to enter into the productivities which create the wealth of the nation. What these preparations should be we leave to the leaders who specialize in the study of industrial economics. But this much we will say, and that is, that the entire problem depends upon production. He must make a valiant effort—sacrifices if need be—to make himself a potent factor in the development of the resources of the country. The lavish stream of gold which the Negro poured into the coffers of the government when the appeal was made to the nation for its financial support, has refuted the charge of thriftlessness, which has been one of the main arguments of his-maligners. Are we going to relinquish the hold we have made on the respect of the nation? It can only be retained by co-operation of our material resources, and co-ordination of effort. It would, indeed, be wise to sub-ordinate a number of the grievances which cause us so much agitation and concern, to the more important M.

The colored voters of this county realizing his worth and his absolute fairness, are lining up solid in their support of Judge Avery, and with the other groups of our citizenship, will assist in putting him way over the top on election day. question of our industrial standing AFTER THE WAR. LOTTERY SHARKS TO TALL TIMBERS LOTTERY SHARKS TO TALL TIMBERS Eagle Expose Puts The Orientals to Flight—No Let up on Graft—Eagle Right ON The Job. The Chinese Lottery sharks have hit the trail which leads to the tall timber, where they are waiting perhaps for things to blow over and then a return to their nefarious calling of skinning the suckers of their hard-earned cash, but we surmise that they will have a long wait as the Eagle is right on the job, and we are going to expose any attempt to put over any of this propaganda. We had just as well return to the old 4-11-44 robbery as to permit this 7 and 8 spot proposition to go unmolested. Many balies have gone hungry, and many families have suffered from the evil of Chinese Lottery, so for the sake of common decency and humanity, the People's Forum feel it our bounden duty to hit the thing and hit it hard. We appreciate the fact that in some quarters this is an unpopular move and we shall possibly lose some subscribers, but a little thing like that will not deter us for one moment in standing upright and fighting for the right. Otherwise on the Rialto our sentry reports "all is well." Of course we know everything, which includes every move on the checkerboard.

M. E. ZION CHURCH Corner Pico and Paloma Rev. J. E. McCorkle, Pastor. Let us see "the hand of God in the affairs of men" and cease to complain. If we are still closed Sunday, accept this as a synopsis of a message from Zion—Mica 6:8, "What does the Lord requires of thee, but to do justly love mercy, and walk humbly with God." (1) "The requirements of the Lord. 1. Do justly—(a) Civil justice, (b) Commercial justice, (c) relative justice—2. Love Mercy, (a) Be kind to the wretched, the unfortunate, (b) Have unfailed charity, for all—3. Walk humbly etc., (a) Pride is the natural bias of the human mind, (b) We are to extoll God above all. (II) What man is pleased to offer—(a) The World's conscience has ever admitted the world's guilt. Adam did, Cain did, we do—(b) We are ever willing to offer anything else more willingly than ourselves, the fruit of the field, the choice of the flock, precious treasure, even children have been fed to the flames to gain the favor of God. (III) God's requirements are for our own good. Every thought act or event in our life helps to shape our destiny as the strokes of the sculptor's chisel and hammer shapes his stature. If we are just, merciful and humble we receive the benefit. Possibly it is well after all that the Churches are closed, for judging from statistics since Influenza came into Los Angeles the marked increase of new cases has shown up on Tuesday's record. And since it takes but a short time for the symtoms to develop after infection, this would readily lend an argument to the effect that the churches contributed to the infection. Then if the church is an essential in the woft and warp of the fabric of the Commonwealth it may be called upon again as it was when our brothers' across the sea were about to charge the Kaiser's ranks.

For notwithstanding the influenza ban that has closed our church doors we are still permitted to see God's beauties and righteousness unfold. With more than one thousand members thus far there has been only one death. We miss the mid-week service and the Sunday worship. The sweet music of the choir and the zcalous sermons that always inspire and are usually accompanied with the saving of souls by the baptism of Holy Ghost fire. Yet we are comforted in the knowledge that this condition will continue just a little while. No mortgage confronts us; no interest is accruing; no financial embarrassments in this our Master's doings. The loyalty and liberality and regularity with which member and friends are characterized who worship at this historic Church have inaugurated a "financial System" that survives just a few weeks of unexpected surprise. Only the "current expenses" of the month come regularly to our eyes and this method of preparing and laying in store for what ever emergency may arise will be perpetuated with delight when we assemble again. Watch the daily papers, and be glad when they say, "Let us go into the house of the Lord."

Another week has passed without our being able to assemble together. In the midst of the scourge that is now upon us God has wonderfully protected us in answer to our prayers.

I am delighted to hear that so many are having services in the home around the family altars. If the closing of our churches will revive the fires around our family altars our churches will benefit by the order of the Board of Health.

Reed, Pastor. 5th and Harris St. Two highly interesting and inspiring services were held at the New Hope Baptist Church on Sunday the 13th inst. Three meetings were scheduled for the day on account of it being rally Sunday, but before the evening service began, notice was received from the Health authorities closing the churches on account of the influenza. Even though we were hindered from continuing our rally through the evening, it was a success, more than $300 being raised. Dr. R. H. Wade, preached the afternoon sermon, the same was highly enjoyed by all present. The revival meetings that were to be held with Dr. Wade preaching had to be dispensed with, until the authorities allow the churches to resume their meetings. The Bazaar though indered by two nights of rain, was also successful, the receipts for practically two night's operation, amounted to more than three hundred dollars. The Clark and A. R. G. Busses have Jim Crow Seats The Clark and A. R. G. Busses, operating between San Bernardino and Los Angeles, have Jim Crow seats says Rev. G. W. Reed, pastor of the New Hope Baptist Church, of San Bernardino, and Mr. T. G. Hamilton of the Hoover Fish Market of the same city. Rev. Mr. Reed, states that some few weeks ago he having to get in Los Angeles at a certain hour to meet a committee, orinding that his train was behind time, which would cause him to arrive in Los Angeles too late for his meeting, went to, the Clark Bass station, bought a ticket for Los Angeles, and as he went to enter the bus, the driver called to him to take the back seat—Mr. Reed was about to enter the second seat from the front of the car. Mr. Reed says he asked the driver were there special seats? and why he couldn't sit in any seat he desired? The driver answered No! but that the back seat was as good as any. The driver being persistent, I went into the office, says Mr. Reed, and inquired of the ticket agent, whether or not his ticket was a limited one, limiting him to the back seat? The agent in an incoherent manner answered. No! Mr. Reed then went out and climbed into the bus, with the impertinent driver looking daggers at him. Mr. Hamilton met with a similar, but more humiliating circumstance with the A. R. G. Bus on his way to Los Angeles. The driver threatened to throw him out if he did not take the back seat, and Mr. Hamilton invited him to try his hand at throwing him out, looking him straight in the eyes, at which he cowed as he climbed back into his seat and drove on. But not without intentions to put forth further efforts to either have him take the back seat or eject him at Ontario, where he called a policeman, and solicited the aid of a U. S. soldier, a Lieutenant, as indicated by his insigna. The Lieutenant tried to bluff him. Mr. Hamilton replied to his orders by saying "I respect the uniform you wear, but not the man in it." Mr. Hamilton says that on arriving in Los Angeles he reported the occurrence to the authorities, and was told that the company reserved the right to seat the passengers where they pleased. Now this back seat is right over the springs of the bus, also there are two raised places on either side in the floor where this seat is located, on account of the hind wheel's casing, which makes it a very uncomfortable and rough seat to ride in. Now these busses are common carriers, and they have no more right reserved than the Rail or Electric Roads. It is to be observed that none except Negroes or Mexicans are relegated to this seat. St. Paul A. M. E. Church. On account of the Influenza epidemic St. Paul A. M. E. Church has been closed for past two Sundays and we will not re-open until the epidemic closes, this stopped the work on our basement, but Rev. Hughes still hopes to have the work completed in time for the opening on Thanksgiving Day, when it will be dedicated and turned over to the Trustees by the Sunday School Department, we will then have an excellent and beautiful Sunday School room, Lecture Hall and Social Pastor. Rev, Fred A. Hughes, our pastor says that he and his family have not suffered any on account of the church being closed. The members have seen to it that they have had whatever was needed. The regular dues have been collected as usual. The parsonage seemed like a hospital during the past week, as Mrs. Hughes, Fred A. Hughes, Jr. and little Agnes Gertrude are all victims of the Spanish Influenza. All three are better at this writing and if they continue to improve will be out again soon. St. Paul continues to increase in membership even though closed last Sunday morning we had an addition as Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Ingham presented us a new arrival whose name is Master Henry Phelps.

It's hard to conceive that there are any of this people who would for one moment be carried away with that near anarch- ist bunk viz: The Single Tax .

MOUSER FOR SENATOR. For Senator to succeed the late Henry Lyons trom the 29th District. Frank H. Mouser is in the forefront of the battle. And now while the politicians and the big interests are opposed to Mouser, the people should all be behind him to the utmost. Mouser is the People’s man: what we mean is that Frank Mouser will always stand up for thepeople all of the time and how often do we get men in public oftice who will stay “put” when the people's interests are at stake. When we say people we mean all of the people without regard to race color or creed, the best proof of the pudding is in the tasting: of all the Assemblymen in the great state of California, Frank Mouser is the only one who regarded the support of the colored voters enough to give t» them any recognition whatever at the political pie counter, on each of the three occasions of his election, Mouser has seen to it that a colored man from his district was on the Legislative pay roll. He did not stop at that, a! legislation tending to either segregae, humiliate, or Jim Crow this loyal citizenship, Mouser has always fought such measures to a finish in all Calic fornia. The colored voters have never had a public official in the Assembly who has proved their worth as Frank Mouser; with such 4 record for fair play, for justice and for just reeogni- tion any colored voter who wonld oppose him is indeed an in- grate. We cannot conceive of any such, short-coming on the part of our people and on election day they will do themselves prowd by voting and working for the election of Frank Mouser. UENRY J.

PORTRAYAL OF HEROIC DEEDS OF AMERRON "BACK DEVILS" UPON THE BATTLE FIELDS OF FRANCE WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE — From the scenes of martial strife again come reports of the valor and heroism of the American black soldiers now fighting over here in this herculean conflict. The 60th (15th New York) Infantry has won many notable triumphs on the battle fields of this country, many of the deeds having been previously chronicled. Here is part of an article sent an American white daily by one of its staff correspondents, in which he pays in glowing terms a most remarkable tribute to the fighting prowess and gallantry of the 'black devils'. From the colonel and the Heurtent-ant-colonel, and in talks with other officers and men I learned what the regiment had accomplished before during and since the formidable German drive of July 15. As early as the first week in June the French division of which the outfit then formed a part had wind of the imminent onslaught. At that time the Negrons were holding the city they had taken over in the middle of April on the edge of the Argonne forest north of Saint-Menehoud. One battalion was on both front lines one in immediate support and one in rear three or four miles back. Each battalion had twenty days at the front and ten days in the rear. In preparation for the offensive, the rear most battalion was brought up to the front and from that zone on until it was relieved the regiment den without rest. During their first two months in line the New Yorkers had had a placed time of it. They escaped more than pernunctory shelling and their casualties were so few as to set a low-water mark for even that tranquil sector. Not until the night of June 12 did they receive a real "strafing" at the enemy's hand. On that night the boote launched the "Million Dollar Ball" as the Negroes call it one of them having figured that amount as the cost of the shells used in the preparation fire. On one company front in the Hairsty Woods forty-five Krupp U.S. and fifteen besties an uncounted array of ten mortars and miniwriters, victimized into the Negroes defenses. The next incident lasted about two hours. When the boote raiding column came down their barrage across Noirmont Land they doubtless evicted to find a dazed and terror-striken bunch of men utterly beset of the dizzying spirit. Instead they ran against a line of riflemen and grenade throwers operating with a score of hidden machine guns to build a wall of bullets between the toe and his objective. A DARING SERGEANT Cant L. B. Shaw got the Crick in Guerre on a account of those machine guns. He has planted them in camp- flaged armor and points so skillfully the fee was unaware of their existence and had failed to have his artistry seek the truth. Because of them the crayfish natives never reclaimed the Art in trembles. At one point where they came within a few yards, Sergi Robert Collins leaped up on the trench parapet and pumped lead from his automatic rifle into them at a point-blank range with German grenades unstopping unpleasantly close to him. Theorge antagonist one of his reasons for this exposing him- self was a leaving to get a good view of the fight. Did night their shells had messed up a good deal?" he said after waddles out man, you should've seen what we done to them. Say, when our machine guns got through with them they looked like a bunch of Swiss cheese." The Negroes coolness under this hardament convinced the French hunter command of their solidarity. French officers with whom I talked were delighted with them. One told me how he himself had seen a German land topedo explodes right under the nose of two Negroes in an advanced post, burying them under an avalanche of mud. The pair wrigged out and, though both were slightly wounded, remained where they were. "Myself. I would probably have made a strategic retirement to a sapper spot, the Frenchman added with a smile. The regimental command himself was away in hospital convalescing from a broken ankle bone. On the edge of the offensive a rumor reached him that the booby had broken through and were advancing on St. Menéndez. The rumor was baseless of course, but the colonel "just couldn't stand it any longer." He climbed painfully out of bed, sweeping aside the surgeon's protests, seized crutches, hoisted himself into his Ford and went in search of the regiment. By the time he located it his condition was such he was quite unable to keep on his feet. He insisted. however, in remaining at regimental headquarters, and throughout the whole battle stuck to his command, at times having himself transported that he might see how things were going. Lieutenant Colonel unbarrassed. The lieutenant 'colonel was in actual charge of the regiment's activities. On the night of July 14 the chief of staff of the French Division which was part of Gen Gaurand's army, inspected the New Yorker's order of battle and pronounced it perfect. He called on the lieutenant colonel at the latter's post of combat, and performed the time-honored ceremony of kissing the flag and giving the regimental commander the acolade—a kiss on either cheek—that is the classic prelude to entry into battle. The lieutenant colonel himself was a bit embarrassed chiefly because of the ill-concealed mirth of his orderlies. Their grins lit up the whole counter-shell like a star shell, he told me. At 11 pm French counter-preparation fire began, to be followed by the German destructive bombardment at midnight. For four hours Krupp cuts of every caliber plastered hundreds of spike miles of front with high explosive shrapnel and gas. Nothing more suspicious than that shilling could be conceived by the hand of man to quote a French staff officer who had been at Verdun and the Somme. Our Negroes struck tight. Whether they were in well-built dugouts or on the men trenches, they never quitted. --- THE HERO IN EBONY THE HERO IN EBONY. We are indebted to that well-known union leader John Abb, just returned from the European battle front, for the winter campaign story of how a Negro soldier has been the first American to receive the troix de Guerre, with the accompanying palm branch decoration from the French Government, others before him, may have been honed with the cross alone, but the distinguished honor has been conferred upon this hero in ebony of the additional palm decoration, together with the cross. Mr. Cobb says that a French general visited the hospital where the obese man was recovering from wounds received in the brave encounter on which almost cost the hero his life, and joined the cross and the palm devotion upon his breast, and then stopped down and kissed him upon both hands." In one of our Eastern cantonments a white private passed a Negro officer without giving the customary salute. When requested for this neglegt he replied that he never would salute a—muster." The officer immediately renamed his army that and coined them on the limb of a near-by tree and inured: "Will you salute those?" Certainly answered the white man: "And remember" continued the officer: "that it is not the man inside the uniform you are saluting, but the principles of government of which a uniform is a symbol." The private said went out in swift anology: for he recognized that he had not a soldier, and a gentleman as well. In these tragic and memorable dais when yellow men and brown men and black men and white men are dashing side by side to defend the principles of liberty, is it not time to put aside racial prejudices and discriminations? L. E. C. (The Youth's Instructor.) FUNDED OF MRS. TROTTER Noted for Her Work Among Colored Race. (Boston Post, Oct. 13, 1918) The funeral of Mrs. Geraldine Louise Pindell, wife of William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Guardian, was held post-pray at 2 o'Clock from her home of Sawyer Avenue, Dorchester.

June 27. 1889, in the same house where she died. October 9. 1918, at the age of 46 years. Her chief life work was associate manager of the Boston Guardian, an organ for equal rights for colored Americans, published by Mr. Trotter. But she engaged in much public-spirited work. She secured pardons for several colored inmates of the State prison, notably the late William E. Hill, who had been there more than 40 years. She was executive chairman of the Boston Literary Association, arranging the loving cup presentation to Moorfield Storey in Faneuil Hall. She organized a woman's anti-lynching committee, and was a member of the Equal Rights League. Her chief activities recently were for the Colored soldiers. She presented the national colors to the 519th Engineers at Camp Devens in behalf of the State, organized the Godmother's Association to this the only Colored unit, which sent overseas from Massachusetts and began organizing with a circle of choirs at Newburyport. She was a member of the Soldiers Comfort Unit and Sunday hostess at its War Service centre. Her last act was to send fruit to the colored soldiers at Camp Devens who were ill with influenza. She was a communicant of St Mary's Episcopal Church in Dedham. New members of her race were better known. She was an able newspaper woman and ready public speaker. THE MIGHTY ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS SPEAKS ON WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR TO 4000 PEOPLE AT PITTSBURG, PA. The Following Is An Extract Of His Speech On This Occasion. Let me speak for one ninth of the population of the United States. Let me speak through my tears. Let me silence the battling of my chains, for my chains, like bones in the amount valleys, battle to a new life under that. Let me speak for the people called weakest among the mighty millions forming the grandest nation, that time ever saw. We are fighting side by side with the American white solider flower of the progress of man to prove again that gratitude is not dead in the hearts of men. We are fighting for the only land in the world where we may rise to heights of manhood. We are fighting for the flag that Shaw held in his hands on the fields of Carolina and that floated above Savannah as that manless warrior moved in triumph toward the sea at Savannah. We are fighting for that Constitution into which the pen of progress dipped in blood, wrote our name as if in letters of glory. If Germany wants to know what the American Negro is fighting in No Man's Land, I will tell them that we are fighting to make the world every man's land, and bring kings to their knees. I will tell them that they are fighting for the memory of the twin gods of battle. Grant with a sword of vengeance and Lincoln with a pen of fire. If this is not enough I will tell them that we are fighting for the starry flag that put us in homes and placed by the walls a marriage certificate and let us know who the fathers of our children are. "This mighty nation undertakes to bring the tyrant to his knees and then to stand the Negro on his feet. The nation wars to open up the seas to the ships of trade. It was to open up the seas to ships and open the door of the Jim Crow car to men. "Our leader gave us the inspiring phrase when he declared that we are going across the ocean 2,000 miles from East St. Louis and Memphis, to 'make the world safe for democracy.' I answer: 'Sir your orders shall be obeyed, and when that job is done—and let no threatening voice stay your purpose—we will then proceed to make his own country safe for the American Negro.' "We will stand in blood with the bravest of the brave, and as he aims at thoe, we will whisper in his ear 'Aim straight, Cap, and bring the tyrant down.' Let's make treaties between nations more than a 'scrap of paper,' and then we will go home and make the American Constitution more than a 'piece of writing'." (Richmond Blade.)

Notwithstanding quite a number of white men had made ap- POLITICAL PIE Frank H. Mouser is the people's man for the Senate from the 29th District, with the big business with their millionaire candidate and the politicians against him, surely the people will not fail him. Mouser is the man for he works eight and main for the plain everyday people, and thus people always have his ear. The slogan is keep Mouser on the job and the people will always have recognition. Jack Summerfield who always leads the ticket will do that little thing again at the coming election, this result is from the fact that all classes of our citizenship recognize in the judge a man who stands for the people and all of them receive at his hands a fair and square deal. We are always pleased to stand up for a man like judge Summerfield. Russ Avery for Superior Judge by all the rules of the game should receive from all classes a hearty support for election since his appointment to this position by Governor Stephens he has rendered signal service and made an enviable record as a jurist of the highest rank. And there should be no question of his election by an overwhelming vote. --- James Rives the eminent judge of Los Angeles probate court, it goes without saying stands so high in the estimation of the electorate of this country that he is supposed to head the ticket, everybody is for Judge Rives of course. While the enforced ban on public meetings has been hard on the progress of the Roberts Campaign Committee the same has by no means been asleep and in co-operation with the county committee they expect for the remaining days of the campaign to get in some telling work and put Roberts over by a. record-making vote. Gahart the democrat who is running as an Independent, has no merit to his aspiration, running simply on the old Vardaman and Cole Please issue of race prejudice, this will not work and along with Mose Lowenstein he will be strictly in the discard after November 5th. J. H. Stevens who made such a remarkable showing in the August primaries will go over the top on November 5th, the more the people become acquainted with him, the more they appreciate his worth and ability. And now it is a foregone conclusion that he will be triumphantly elected on November 5th. For Police Judge, W. D. McConnell Deputy Prosecutor is making a splendid race and the people of all classes are rallying to his support. The Eagle commends him for your consideration to vote and work for his election. After all the Bell for Governor Boomlet seems to have died a borning, and Gov. Stephens will have a walkaway for election. Brady for Justice of Peace is a staunch Republican and all Republicans will give to him a strong support. CHAMBERS FOR CONTROLLER Los Angeles, Oct.

We know that Judge Overr will do all that is expected of him in the Y. M. C. A. field over-seas. We congratulate Judge Overr on his appointment and wish for him a "Bon-Voyage."

To appear Nov. 5th COLORED SOLDIERS CASED IN BAYLE RETURN TO THE U.S. Lieuts, Parks and Farrer Visit St. Louis—Have Been In Big Argonne Forest Drive. SAW FIERCE FIGHTING Led Eleven Raiding Squads Into No Man's Land—Both Are Now Exports and Will Be Sent to Camps to Giv Instruction. First, in 1847, Clemmie C. Parks and C. Faurer of the 372 R. I. U. S., returned from France on October 11, and spent a couple of days in St. Louis, the guests of Dr. C. A. Hancock. They have both seen active service in the hardest of the fight in France and have been returned to the United States to recuperate their health from the effects of being "gassed," in some of the most desperate fighting in which our forces have been engaged. The regiment they were with was attached to the French forces. The Lieutenants state they were in the big advance at Saint Mihiel, Soissons, Chateau Thierry and Thia Court. It was at the latter place where they were gassed and were relieved after they had been in the fight three days without food or sleep. They give hair-raising descriptions of their experiences in the big Argonne Forest drive. They tell of the awful devastation in France and Belgium, where large towns have been destroyed, not a building being left intact. They speak in glowing terms of the splendid accomplishments of our forces and talk interestingly of the good French people and their country. They are bitter against the Germans for their barbarity toward women and children. The Negroes they say, are great fighters and doing excellent work, with machine guns. The Germans fear them, believing them to be savages. The officers have trouble holding the Colored boys back. Conducted Eleven Raiding Parties Lieutenant Farrar conducted eleven raiding parties into "No Man's Land," and has several German prisoners to his credit. His home is in El Paso, Texas. He was a civilian truck driver during the Mexican trouble. He is now a specialist on machine guns and will teach automatic arms at one of the cantonments after he recovers from the gassing. Lieutenant Parks lives at Fort Scott, and for 3 years was a member of the famous 24th Infantry and entered the first training camp at Fort Dodge. He was gassed twice in the Argonne drive and is still suffering from the effects. He is an expert on automatic rifle, bayonet and grenades which he will teach in this country after recovering. He wears a sharp shooter's medal and displayed the helmet he wore in the trenches, and other trophies of war. The 92nd division, to which the St. Louis boys were attached, had not reached the firing line when Parks and Farrar were sent home. The Lieutenants left for their homes Thursday, where they will have about a week to rest. AN ADEQUATE APPROPRIATION FOR THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. In every city having such rapid growth as the city of Los Angeles, there is need of increased appropriations to carry on city work in all its phases. Certain demands which seem more urgent than others are thus rewarded. All public spirited citizens should be on the alert to see that the work of each department is not allowed to suffer for the lack of funds. Observe the case of the Public Library! The work of the Library has increased 200 per cent in the last seven years, while the appropriation has lagged far behind, having gained only 71 per cent. This is largely due to the fact that the city charter provides a minimum tax rate of 4 cents on every $100 worth of taxable property at the assessed valuation for the maintenance of the Library, which fails to provide an adequate income for the greatly increased scope of the work. Therefore the Library will ask at the general election on November 5th that its rate be increased to 5 cents. This Amendment, 9-A should have the support of every voter. The additional cost to tax payers is negligible as it is so slight. The situation is acute. Owing to war conditions the demands on the Library are greatly increased, as are also the cost of books and materials. Money to buy additional copies of important books is greatly needed. Only thus can readers get what they want when they come to the Library. IS NO SLACKER "Colored Man is no Slacker" is the title of a famous picture recently produced. The picture is made in five colors. Small copies mounted and ready to put up, 10Cents. Large copies unmounted at 20 Cents each. Sent prepaid. H. H. Roskam 2442 Cincinnati St., Los Angeles, Cal. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE THE LABORATORY AT THE ELECTION November 5th you will be called upon to decide whether jitneys shall be permitted to resume operations in the congested district—First to Eighth Streets and Main to Hill Streets—from which they are now barred by ordinance adopted at the polls. If you actually owned the Street Railway, would you vote to allow jitneys to compete with your street cars? You do not actually own the Railway, but you controll it as completely as if it were under Municipal Ownership. YOUR STREET RAILWAY pays direct taxes and special assessments at the rate of about $1,000 a day. The total public charges, of all kinds it has paid—out of your fines—has amounted to an average of about $2,500 a day for the past 7 years. It is employing about 65 colored men and women. Of the colored men, five have positions in the general offices, several are rated as first-class car repairers, and several others are car painters. All we are proud to say, are acquitting themselves with credit to themselves and to the satisfaction of the company. It is paying its employees nearly $1,500,000 more in wages than it paid 18 months ago. Besides this, it has to pay vastly more for the materials it uses in construction and repair work. During the height of the jitney service of the past your Street Railway was deprived of several hundred thousand dollars annually—nickels which went to the hundreds of jitneys running over a portion only of the lines on which street cars run. Resumption of service by the jitneys means— That your Street Railway will lose more heavily, and at a time when, rather than facing any further losses, it sorely needs more income to enable it to maintain even the service it is now rendering; That the already overcrowded downtown streets will be still further congested, adding to the inconvenience of the public during the hours when the streets are badly needed for the use of the public generally; That the danger to life and limb will be increased. There is danger enough as it is. DO YOU WANT to place your Street Railway, whose operations are regulated by official bodies representing you, in a position where it may be forced not only to seek a greatly increased rate of fare, but to cut its service to an extent hitherto unknown in any great American city? If you do, you will vote to bring the jitneys back. 2-A. Shall the proposed ordinance submitted by initiative petition which makes lawful the operation of jitney buses in the downtown district from which they are excluded, said ordinance being entitled, "An ordinance repealing Section 5 of Ordinance No. 36.676 (N. S.), entitled 'An ordinance providing for the su pervision and regulation of the transportation of persons for compensation over public street in the City of Los Angeles by automobiles, jitney buses, stages, and auto stages, providing for the su pervision and regulation of the transportation of persons for compensation, stages and auto stages; prohibiting the operation of such automobiles, jitney buses, stages and auto stages upon certain streets; and providing for the punishment of this ordinance.'" be adopted?
