PEACE AT LAST Our Staff Reporter Writes Entertainingly From "Over There" --- ESTABLISHED 1270 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4185 VOLUME 32 P Our Stal FLOYD G. SXELSON JR. OVER THERE. October 22nd. 1918 U S. S. Winifred European Waters While in a large seaport recently I had the pleasure of seeing a large convoy arrive from the "states.. laden with thousands of Uncle Sam's prided boys in kalki. I was in company with several jackies from my ship and when they spied us they made a roaring cheer, as we were the first boys from back home to welcome them. Our uniforms were unquestionably familiar and it seemed to make them feel right at home, we were the first ones over the gang plank and when we got aboard each one of us seemed to be completely surrounded with seperate audiences eager to hear "How things are on this side". The first questions were How's the feed over here? Where do we go from here? When do we get to the front? What state do you hail from? How long have you been here? How do you like it over here? How do you count this foreign money? How do the girls treat you over here yes and a thousand other queques which I tried hard to answer to the best of my knowledge. I soon learned that there were 800 boys of my own race aboard my in the after quarters of the ship; Finally I made my way to where they were. They were all from Georgia and they welcomed me with great delight, yet most of whom were still quite nervous and homesick after an unusual heavy voyage. One boy said to me, "I've seen more water in these days than I ever wanted to see and if I ever get back home again I'll never go on the water. Being a sailor I had to speak up boldly and try to discourage his fears. After a lengthy conversation with the boys I tried hard to feel other than an optimist after hearing of the many unkindnesses they were forced to endure on account of color. In spite of this fact each man held a bright countenance though many a thousand of miles from home in a foreign land, undoubt edly most of their fears were detoured by wonder and amazement. Most of these boys I could easily see had never been away from home and were as timid as mere children. While there I tried hard to discourage the idea of some of these lads who were in the "Whites" quarters giggling and dancing for their amusement. The ridicule and scorn they were receiving for the sake of a few nickels and dimes thrown at their feet was a poor bargain. I could soon reveal the neccessity of a Chaplain or desirable escort of their own race who could guide them and advise their shortcomings. One query that made an urgent appeal to me was, "Do you think we will ever get back home again"? I have never given this the slighest thought other than the The California Eagie affirmative. My sentiments are well expressed in the "Lord's prayer". Thy Will Be Done which is my favorite prayer. Many stories of wit and humor are often told of our boys at the front. A colored unit was moving up to take a front line trench in Picardy. It was early in the morning about 4 A. M. "Hey, Sergeant came a voice from over in the brush to the left;" When we all goin' to find them Boches? "Never you mind child; you all gonna find plenty of 'em 'fore long" "Well I Sho hope so Sergeant,cause if I don't get rid of some of this mean feeling Isie got I gwine to carve up some of you all. I Sho will! Two colored dough boys were resting in a shell hole near the st. Quentin sector when a Boche shell flew over their heads and exploded a few yards away. "You hear dat baby Sing, Buddy? quered one; I Sho did, said the other. But you all gwine to hear de angels sing if you don't get dat black noodle o' yourn down, you hear me. The above is not written with the idea of making fun, but it well shows the earnest and serious way in which our boys are fighting; - for Uncle Sam. OVER THERE NUMBER TWO (By Floyd G. Snelson) With a gasoline launch as a rostrum, Secretary of war Newton D. Baker in the course of his recent inspection tour of the American expeditionary forces in France addressed an audience of some 1000 Negro Steviedores during their lunch hour. The speech, as well as the entire stage setting was highly informal, says the Stars and Stripes. Part of this strong able bodied Afro American audience lay sprawled upon the roof of a half finished warehouse overlooking the local gasoline can, and nearly all of them went on munching the contents of their mess kits, as it was intended they should do, listening cagply to what Mr. Baker had to say to them. The much appreciated secretary told them how proud the people at home all were of them and of their splendid work; both their own people as well as the whole rest of the American Nation at large. He gave them a couple short quick stories that quickly surrounded him with an ampitheatre of shining white teeth all set in a huge, honest to goodness grin, and when he wound up and said that he was going back home to tell their folks how well they had been doing and how glad they all would be to have first hand news of their boys and the variant work they were giving their country, he got such a hand as only strong and honestly calloused palms can give a speaker. Both before and after the speech the secretary visited with the colored boys whom he saw at work on the docks and in the warehouses, asking questions and shaking hands with them right and left and getting first hand information of how the difficult jobs are swung. After leaving he was greatly impressed with the good man-greatly impressed with the good manly service the Afro American boys are rendering Uncle Sam. This well proves the love and patriotic will possess by the Negro boys. "Over here for their courage, the dear U.S.A. By the kind and brotherly action of Mr. Baker over here we are satisfied that he shows the spirit that will exist toward us when we get back home he appreciates the services of the black boys and he promised to tell all America about it on his return. San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland A certain Mr. W. J. Walker a kind hearted Y. M. C. A. man of the type we usually find in all the huts, relates a commendable piece of work done by a certain Negro stevedore regiment in France, as follows: Not so long ago just before the huge American advance, news came to the (white) commander of an Afro American labor company that it was absolutely necessary that a certain amount of goods be piled on a train that would pass thru the town in central France near the Argonne where the company was billeted, in order that the supplies might reach the men at the front line before it was too late. That evening the boys of the company came in dog tired soaking wet from the all day rain anxious for the comfort of the barracks. While they were all lined up for their well deserved supper, the first lieutenant who was in command briefly explained what was needed and told them that he would not order a single man to go down to the railroad, to load the train, but would ask for volunteers. He said: "Every man who is willing to put in the evening for the good of the service and Uncle Sam was to step one pace to the front. Every single man including the cooks and K. P's who were at the window and overheard the speech stepped forward that one space. So the big trucks were loaded down with the big company. The lieutenant, mess Sergeants and everybody went down and helped complete the work and everything was satisfactory. About 11 oclock the lieutenant (white) and the mess sergeants walked two miles back to the barracks and got supper for the crowd. The lieutenant himself set the table with jam and melons which he bought for the extra meal. When six oclock came, a few hours later every man turned out on time for another days work. Though some of these noble colored boys of America were scarcely able to swing the heavy axes the following day, not a grumble or remark was made, they were happy to know that they could do something more for their country. Can any race be more faithful to their flag and country than these boys? These boys didn't go down there that night and work for the sake of extra, over time wages, no there's no such thing as overtime. It's All Time. The faithful services they are giving should reflect credit as well as a reward to them; What is it? An Equal chance and a square deal for their race that is All. Ghosts. Many interesting tales have often been told of the fears of our race when it comes to ghosts, spooks, spirits & ect. The "Stars and Stripes" in a recent issue told of a Negro outfit in France engaged in quarry work near a base port. In the course of opening up some new ground that had never felt the touch of the spade or shovel and pick, these husky boys from Tennessee discovered an old Roman burying ground with many skeletons coins and petrified relics. The former is said to have made quite an impression on these lads, and there was many speculations as to whether the shades of the deceased legionaires still hover around in the vicinity of their last resting place. At any rate the general opinion was that a man ought to be on his guard when out late at night. One night following two lads were on their way back to the barracks after taking a quiet little stroll to a nearby French village. These lads were said to have seen images in the middle of the road near the quarry, and with a mile between them and the barracks it is said scheduled time well exceeded that of the 20th century limited. No one in the barracks doubted their veracity. The U. S. Navy is in a class by itself when it comes to real patriotism. Aside from their untiring faithful services rendered the government on the high seas, it has made an extraordinary good showing in buying liberty bonds. There is a Liberty loan drive on every one of Uncle Sam's ships each time it is held in America no matter where they may be in the war zone, or in the Red Sea it makes no difference. The Fourth Liberty loan was well patronized on our ship, although we were many miles away, we did not have any parades, or any fair female bond saleslady to solicit us, all we had was the good advice of our commander who told us of its progress in a body. In our crew of sixty men we cabled to Washington that we had subscribed $3, 500.00 which overaverages a fifty dollar bond for each man on the ship. The writer is very proud to say that of the three colored boys on the ship two of us subscribed for bonds myself $100.00 the others $50.00 each. We do things to help back the government just the time as you who are at home. Stand back of Uncle Sam at any cost. MRS. MARIE OVERSTREET JACKSON. Soprano Soloist.

ELECTION AFTERMATH Since the election of Nov. 5th, has been analized there are so many who say: "I told you so", that they cannot be counted, but be that as it may it is now conceded by all that the man who had the longest pole, was the one who got the persimmon" In the fight for the state ticket our representative on the state Central committee Hugh E. Mcbeth rendered signal service and all along the line the heartiest commendations are his for the splendid service rendered. In our local fight for the non partisan offices, individual effort counted to the utmost and it was a real contest for some of the places. The fight for senator in the 29th. senatorial district was the star event early in the game it was realized that Mouser had established in the 74th assembly district a stronger line of defense, than even the famous Hindenburg line, and after viewing the same Hart's backers, reported the fact back to headquarters; and in came the Tanks, Areo Planes and 140 Centimeter guns, under this strain and terrific bombardment Mouser's defense neccessarily crumbled, but his defeat was not humilating by any means, he retired of necessity under strong pressure, which causes his temporary retirement. In the assembly it was the PEOPLE who put Roberts over, they all lined up and went about the job man fashion and put him over in a jiffy, true his campaign was managed with a minimum of blunders; and as a result California the Golden state comes forth with a real demonstration of a real Democracy. The Jitney Buss fight was managed by W. H. Sanders and he rendered yoeman service, in handling the various precinct organizations; the part allotted to his care and thus shares in the great victory against this pernicious evil. WHY A SEGREGATED PLAY- GROUND? We have faith in our women's ability, and believe they can do just what they attempt, this fact was verified recently by the Negro Women's Progressive Association of Pasadena, when they downed the invincible Clansman (Banquo's Ghost) which they prohibited from showing in their city. We congratulate them, with pride we greet this new organization, and watch with interest its achievements. Last week we noticed that a playground had been given over to the Negro children of Pasadena, and we are sure that was given and accepted in the true spirit. But are not the Negro children permitted to enjoy the playgrounds, parks and other places the same as the children of other nationalities? If so why a playground for them? Why curtail their freedom? One thing leads to another, separate schools and cars have been agitated and urged by some of opposite race who are afraid of contamination, and we know that we are ever confronted with restrictions and segregation, until we often feel like putting a question mark after the words "Liberty" and "Democracy." We sometimes bind ourselves with a seemingly beautiful slight cord which later proves to be an ugly galling chain, and now while our country is justly rejoicing over the world war peace proclamation, we must "watch as well as pray" for ours is a fight without and a fight within. Things are being rapidly adjusted, and if we are not careful, instead of enjoying what our boys have been fighting for, and what we have been working and sacrificing for, we will find ourselves with fewer privileges. Let us stand by our boys and ever proclaim freedom. EVA CARTER BUCKNER: A WORD 'FROM' MR. FOSTER DRIVER I arrived home from Camp Funston, Kansas. Friday evening, a great surprise to my people and friends. It was a surprise to me when I was allowed the opportunity to come home, so I thought that it would be fair to allow someone else to help me enjoy my surprise. I had a splendid stay in Camp Funston. I was there for six weeks, GENIUS OF HON. IOS. CRAIL Southern California has stood true for her and given Hon. W. D. Stephens the Republican nominee for Governor, a very complimentary motive of something she has to overcome his demo-independent opponent. And it is a genuine pleasure to note that without a single exception Hon. Joseph Crail has received from the united press of Los Angeles and the leaders in the campaign to elect Mr. Stephens, will credit for his masterly conduct of the campaign. The situation that confronted Mr. Crail presented unusual difficulties and none more so than the necessity for unification of the party, after four years of internecine strife. Mr. Crail arose magnificently to every occasion and without any so-called "liberal" sentiment he kept the skirts of the Governor-elect clean of any contact with the underworld element that in the old days attached itself to the candidate nor once. Governor Stephens was the candidate of the Republican party; his platform stood for patriotism, civic decency and a benevolent prohibition. And Mr. Crail with those high ideals ever in the foreground, made the end as clean as he began the campaign of Mr. Stephens in the Primaries. We learn that Mr. Crail's name is mentioned in connection with the newly created Appellate Judges and it is universally conceded that he possesses all the necessary qualifications for the position of a Judge of the District Court of Appeal. And in the event that his appointment is made by Governor Stephens he will not only be reworking the man who personally deserves this position, but the Governor will make an appointment that will be universally applied. During the strenuous days of the presidency—the making of the Republican nominee in Governor-Mary K. McCarthy's diplomacy showed to the greatest advantage and the success of Governor Stephens was largely his handwork. --- 1890 COL. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS.

God's people and His only shall possess and control the world and delight themselves in the abundance of peace. Victory itself, however, is fraught with its subtle dangers. While it is true in the providence of God our great nation turned the tide of this war, let us not forget that we began to win only when we began to pray to the great God of battles. The honor and glory is God's not our own.

And what just outbursts of delight came from one and all. In the great rejoicings among the nations, how each congratulated itself on the successful achievements of its army, and what beautiful language is used in congratulatory messages among the various potentates. But who stops to seriously regard the hand of God in the matter? In the first place, the great war was not an accident, it was not wholly man-made, nor could it have been avoided, as the blundering corrupt, and unbrotherly nations had to be all chastised, thus by an over-ruling providence as saith the scriptures—Joel 3:2; Zephaniah 3:8. "They were gathered together in battle. The wisdom of the whole world could not stop them, but when God's time came. He spoke to these millions of white, black, yellow, and red men, saying unto them, 'I make peace.'" Let us praise Him from whom all blessings flow, and not forget the works of His hand. H. DARIUS PROWD. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran, Pastor. The ban placed upon the public, by the Health Authorities, to prevent the spread of the Spanish Influenza, was spontaneously lifted Monday, when news of peace and American victory came. Fear of this much dreaded epidemic vanished, in the presence of the great joy which came to the heart of every American. All Los Angeles suspended business and congregated in masses on the street, and by various means of demonstration, gave vent to their hearts, which were overwhelmed with joy. The Peace announced by angels, more than nineteen centuries ago, although incomparable, was not received with the same hearty welcome as was the declaration of Peace received Monday. The news of Peace which the angels brought, came at a time when the world was not adequately prepared to receive it, notwithstanding the fact that the "gates of the Temple of Janus at Rome were shut." Let us hope that we may in this our day and generation be adequately prepared for this Peace, over which we are now so jubilant. While we rejoice much in the presence of Peace we rejoice more in the presence of commencement day of world re-construction, when right-queens queen-ap-pure queen-sniffess be the slogan of the world, and tests of American Democracy aft Christian civilization. Not until the questions of social political and industrial rights are settled, shall democracy be made safe and we shall enjoy the blessings of liberty FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Cor. Pico and Paloma. Rev. J. E. McCorkle, Pastor. While the city officials continue to publish "Flu ban on gatherings indefinite," we anxiously, wait and prayfully hope that the end is near and that we may soon be able to resume our religious activities in the place established specifically for worship. We still hold our plans for conducting a series of meetings with the help of a very competent evangelist. Rev. Mrs Mary E. Wilson, of Indianapolis, Ind. Whether the ban is lifted on Sunday or Monday, we are trying to be ready to begin immediately. Is the Christian conscience not shocked at the church being placed on a level in the estimate of essentials with the dance halls, the incubators of profligacy; the public pool rooms, the devil's work shop, and the saloons, the most efficacious institution of hell that still remains on the earth? The very association of these institutions by authority makes the infidel more firm in his position, and confirms the skeptic in his doubt. An elderly lady whose habit was to find some good in everything was asked by some mischief-makers what good could she find in the devil, she replied without hesitation. "He's a mighty smart man." The comparison may seem odious in one sense but it is very fitting in another. I congratulate Mr. F. A. McDonald and his associates for their method and manner (as expressed in the city papers) for petitioning the city Health Commission for the common good of all. Really, has it come to pass again that "the children of this world are in their generation, wiser than the children of light?" "The kingdom of God is at hand—Believe the Gospel." WARD CHAPEL A. M. E.

I desire to send to the Christians this short message; through the columns of our papers: which are doing so much at this time to help in the very best ways. There is a word in the human vocabulary at certain times seems to be the sweetest of all save the name of Jesus. It was the fountain from which our fore-parents drank while in the garden of Eden. it was PEACE. Again after about four thousand years lost on the sea of time, it was spoken by a Divine messenger accompanied by a choir from heaven to the shepherds on the plains of Bethlehem: it was PEACE. Again on November 11th, at 11 a.m., 1918, the same word being mentioned —PEACE—caused the world to go intoxicated with excitement and now, hundreds of thousands of peoples as they sit by their fires musing, can exclaim in the language of the poet, "Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight, rolls a melody sweeter than psalms; In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls o'er my soul like an infinite salm. Peace! Peace! wonderful Peace, coming down from the father above; sweep over my spirit forever. I pray, in fathomless billows of love." Read John 14:27, the words of the Master, "Peace I leave with you, my peace, I give unto you; not as the world giveth. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

F. O. Reilly, J. H. Walker and E. W. Robinson met at the parsonage recently and put things in order and added a little more cheer for Rev. Wickens. Mrs. Anderson, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. W.

New Hope Baptist Church. The New Hope Baptist Church was the scene of two impressive services Sunday. Even though the good news that the ban on the churches had been raised, it came too late in the evening, leaving little or no time for the people to be notified. There was a goodly crowd present at both services. The Sunday School was very largely attended. At the usual hour, Pastor Reed, with the aid of the Choir began the worship, which marked the opening of the "Memorial Services," styled so because it marked the resuming of the churches' services, after having been closed for the first time in its history, for more than three consecutive weeks, and not a song, nor a prayer, heard within its confine. Second because the day marked the closing of the world war. In the morning service, Pastor Reed preached from Exodus 11:7, "But against the Children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue; against man or beast; that ye may ```markdown ``` THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE know how that the Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel." His subject was "Certainty of God's Word." A second text was also promulgated. 1 Sam. 3:11. "And the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no open vision." The burden of the first text was to show, from the effects of the epidemic which was receding, how God had taken care of the Race, "while many others had been called to their last resting place. He admonished his hearers that they should thank God, and show their mindful in all things righteous, lest God visit upon us in a like manner. On the last text, he said among other good things, that prophecy was being fulfilled, the dearth of the gospel in the land at the very time when apparently it is most needed. He kept his audience at rapt attention during his whole discourse. The evening service was equally touching. Revival services will begin at this church Sunday night, conducted by Rev R Hi Wade, General Missionary, for Southern California. A great time is anticipated. Those who are on the sick list are Sisters Andrews and Ana Harrison; sister Harrison is improving, being able to attend services Sunday. Rev G W Reed was one of the speakers at the victory celebration last Monday, held in Pioneer Park. He acquitted himself with credit, as it is his want upon such occasions. The race in San Bernardino is proud of Dr Reed. There were more than about people at the celebration. The colored people are looking forward to celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation. January first, more about it later. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH (Rey Fred. A. Hughes Pastor.) "I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the Lord. This sentence I have heard quoted from the days of my infancy, and I too, have repeated time after time in opening services, but until last Sunday, when we allowed to once more have services, the Influenza ban being lifted, did I really appreciate it's real worth and meaning Truly I was glad and all the worshippers were rejoicing and giving vent to their feeling. The choir with some new faces in it, sang beautifully. It was a great day in St Paul in the morning after a short sermon the service was turned into a general class and in in the testimonies praise and thanks were sent up to the Prince of Peace. At the night service the power of the Holy Spirit possessed us and we found the whole church "praising God from whom all blessings flow." When thee invitation was extended four came forward and accepted Christ as their personal savior—"Glory and praise to Jesus give for His redeeming grace." Those who are somewhat indisposed in our membership this week are: Mrs. H. B. Inghram and Mrs. W. M. Jones. Sister T. V. Beck, president of our Golden Gleaners, also of our Class-leaders, left Tuesday night for an GAL. EIGHTEEN- extensive visit in the East and South, stopping in Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas. Rev. Fred Hughes and family take this method of thanking all those who so kindly looked after after their wants during the time of the illness of the family and the ban on our church services. 一 Mrs. Cora Pitts, formerly of our city, also Redlands, now located at Billingham, Washington, came down to take her father. Brother' Henry Beal of Redlands to live with her in the North. Rev. Fred A. Hughes was a busi ness visitor in Redlands Monday. Mrs. S. E. Jackson, of Redlands was a caller at the parsonage Sunday. Mrs. Mattie Ford has returned from Los Angeles and will be at the home of her mother, Mrs. Baker of Redlands until she has recovered fully from the effects of the "Flu." 441 to 451 Third Street, San Bernardino, Cal.

With the dawn of PEACE graver responsibilities than ever rest upon the people of all classes, and now as we are to have a world's peace, to make ourselves absolutely fit, let's have eternal and everlasting peace among ourselves. One thing hard for the uninitiated to understand is: If the armistice went into effect at eleven o'clock last Monday, why is it that the daily papers every day since that time publish such a profuse casualty list. On Thursday there was reported a list of 1075 with a death list of 547. We have thought the great victory of electing one of our very own citizens to the Assembly from this section was so great and so grand that all who really helped could share in the victory, and have never for one moment thought that any one person or set of persons would claim the honor. There is no question of the fact that the people of the 74th Assembly District have cause for much joy along the line of political effort, and we are pleased to announce that ample plans are being formed that the people of this district, with their friends and well wishers from all sections of the State, may meet and have one grand pollification meeting. This will doubtless be a most notable occasion, and we suggest that as it is the first demonstration of real democracy, that the affairs be set forth with that spirit. Let it be the people's pollification. Doubtless the above theme is at this moment more appreciated than it ever was before, and with it comes a new dispensation to all the peoples of the world. It should mean to all the people at real Simon pure Democracy. It should demonstrate the very thing for which so many fought for and died for, and which so many who could not fight for, sacrificed their all. And truly the eleventh day of November will go down the ages as second to no other event in the world's history save and except the birth of the Saviour at Bethlehem. CALIFORNIA SHOULD PROVIDE LANDS FOR HER RETURNING COLORED SOLDIERS With the return of peace the thought of the nation is turning to the matter of reconstruction. The first consideration is the matter of reconstruction is the proper rehabilitation and return to productive and remunerative life of the millions of men who dropped everything and answered the call of the nation in its hour of need. Governmental heads, both national and state, agree that from both the standpoint of personal health, and the standpoint of sound economy, the best interest of both the individual returned soldier and the nation demand that the great bulk of our returned soldiers be located under favorable circumstances on the productive and heretofore unused farm lands of the nation. No greater exponent of this idea of placing our returned soldiers on unused farm lands and under favorable general circumstances is to found than our esteemed Californian, the Hon. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of Interior, and while Secretary Lane advocates in a national way the opening of idle farm lands to our returned national defenders, the State of California under the wise and far-seeing leadership of Gov. William D. Stephens, was the first to make a definite step along the line of putting citizens on idle farm lands under intelligent governmental supervision. For the past two years the Commission on Land Colonization, under the leadership of former Senator Frank P. Eliz of Los Angeles, and Mr. Elwood Mead, recently of Australia, where he has wrought wonders along similar lines, has been hard at work. The result has been the formation in California of what experts are pleased to call the most practical system of land colonization ever put into successful execution. It is now proposed to have the coming reconstructive Legislature provide ways and means for putting as many of the returned national defenders upon California's magic soil, as care to take advantage of the Golden State's wonderful opportunity along this line. A Colonization Commission for the purpose of administering a seven million dollar ($7,000,000) fund for the financing of a vast land colonization scheme, is proposed. This project is intended to include in its benefits not only the returning California heroes, but any soldier or sailor of Uncle Sam who served in the Great War and who may desire to take advantage of the opportunity. It is hard to conceive of a reconstructive, measure more immediate in its benefits to our nation's defenders and more far-reaching in its beneficial results for our great commonwealth, than is this land colonization project. By all means should it receive the hearty backing of the commission. The California Eagle seriously urges upon the attention of Governor Stevens and the coming Legislature, that this Land Colonization Project for our returned heroes be put into execution and may this new and greater Land Colonization Commission be as cosmopolitan as is the battle line on the western front in France and Belgium! And not only should the Commission include one of the far-seeing Colored Californians but the activities and benefits of this great project should include Colored American in the same proportion as the defenders of dark skin held down the battle line in France and Belgium, for if this line had not been held fast against the ruthless Hun, who knows what would have happened to those of us who pride ourselves in priceless citizenship and in our great land holdings! Let California do its utmost for the nation's defenders! And let these privileges go to every man, woman or child who risked their lives in the nation's defense, regardless of race or color. To do otherwise would be less than American. California must, and will, rise to the occasion.

The people of today in this world are growing weaker physically, but wiser mentally. This is said of the white race, so let it be the same of the black race or Afro-American. Because you belong to a beautiful black race let not that be your hindrance of walking side by side with the white gentleman of this country.

It is an old but true saying that it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good. It is certainly true in our city. The wind that has been blowing the past few days has reached as far as Imperial Valley and blowed Mrs. C. E. Nbrwood, our reported, back to our city, and to our hearty approval she and her daughter, Dorothy have come to stay. The home of Capt. R. C. Plenty has been quarantined on account of the little son of Mr. W. F. Collins having Diptheria. The quarantine has however been lifted at this writing, and the little son is out again. Mr. G. W. Stansell, wife and little son, Harold Maitland, have returned to Los Angeles. On the 11th of September last, at 10.30 a.m., Mr. R. V. Green was waited upon by the City Clerk of East San Diego, and asked to accept the office of Deputy City Marshall, and on his acceptance of this position, East San Diego residents and voters can proudly boast of a colored District City Marshall. We wish Mr. Green success in his new office and we feel that he will prove to be the right man in the right place and will make an opening for others by his example.

REPORT OF MES. L. E. HOPE CAMP UPTON. L. L. (Continued from our issue of Oct. 19) Our first morning in camp we were awakened early and had breakfast at 7:45 e'Clock. I walked over to the piazza and there found three women who had come in on a very early train to see their husbands. They were invited in and registered, and their husbands were sent for. The one registering from Florida we found had come without first notifying her husband and he had gone to New York not to return until Monday morning. We found a stopping place for her and she came back to the hostess House each day. The woman from South Carolina had just missed her husband who had gone over-seas only the day before. It is needless to say that we had to console her as best we could. The third, a frail little Jewish woman, so nervous and excited, handed me a telegram which called her to the Base Hospital. In her excitement she had rushed off hatless because she knew her son would be "gone" before she reached the camp. "He is so frail, he is too delicate to be in the army," she said. I called a taxi and sent her to the hospital. In a few hours she returned to us weeping—the dear soul—her son had died before she reached him. Every attention was given these women and they were made as comfortable and happy as possible. An old lady came in to the house and asked if we could find her son yet she knew he was not there, he had been arrested as a deserter and she just knew he had been shot. Great tears stood in her eyes as she listened to what I had to say, but she was sure he was dead just the same. I worked on this case for three hours to locate the boy. In the meantime, she had gone home broken-hearted. When we finally located him I wrote her a special letter and told her to come out the next day and see her son, a real, live, strong boy. Of course she came on the earliest train. I could relate hundreds of cases similar to these. The Hostess House is a great blessing to the women, and certainly men are more content when the women are happy. A group of colored men were enthusiastically talking one night in a corner of the Hostess House. They were telling how anxious they were to "get the Kaiser." They were anxious to get "over there" because they were to see the War over and to win democracy for the world. But even in their high splirits there was a pathetic touch when one of them said, "we want not only to make the world safe to live in but our own country too." It was a joy to see these fellows drill and equally a joy to see them come into the Hostess House, for they had the same pride in the Hostess House as they had in making themselves the best soldiers in the World. In their happy expectation they come to say; my mother or my sweetheart will be here tomorrow. Will you take care of her until I can come. My wife and baby will be here to-day. I can't be here until six tonight; I know you will make them comfortable and happy. In their sad hours they are there. They often talk of their domestic affairs and seek advice. The officer is more aloof. You rather surmise than know if he has a worry. The Negro officer is very non-committal. You may see a shadow on his face, but you will seldom get a word from him about his difficulties He is an officer in every sense of the work and it is most remarkable what he can get out of his men. You can hear the privates discussing their colored officers, "Yes, I just love my officer. I would go any where in the world he told me to go and do anything." When I think of what I saw while at camp Upton and realize the value of the Hostess House it seems useless to try to tell about the work. I have often heard boys say, "I would have deserted long ago had it not been for this place." We say that this is the most terrible war the world has had, that science has spent itself in death dealing mechanisms; but in some respects perhaps no war has been more human. The world has never so much as in this war shrunk from the hellish task which has had to be done and the touch of fine womanhood has been a redeeming and saving feature. We think about men rushing fendishly into combat, but there is also the sweet memory of the fine lad who loved music and bought records that Hostess House No 3 might have more music; and we shall never forget the face of the lad on Sunday night as he joined in our singing of hymns and expressed the wish that we write his mother that soldiers actually sing hymns as well as swear and gamble. So much devolves upon women to maintain and promote real civilization in the midst of this present orgy of death and destruction and I am most thankful that I could spend at least a few months from my own sons to cheer, direct and comfort thousands of sons of other mothers. SERGEANT GLENN'S INVINCIBLE SQUAD KEEP LID TIGHT. The situation, anent vice conditions on Central Ave., seem to be well in hand under the supervision of detective Sergeant Glenn and his aides.

We call these heathens, et they were practicing the tenents f their “high-class religion.” The rath of God fell upon that “high- lass’ and only the sainted prophets, sho had been exiled, together with few faithful saints survived to tell he story of a God Who changeth not nd of a people who had left the Jand mark.” : An insult to God on couay. may re- alt in your destruction on the to jorrow.

The “Gulleton” sent crimson streams to mingle in tho tides of distant seas, but the finzer of God wrote their testimony and read the same amid clashing empires and crumbling thrones, until, truth got a hearing, the boasts were slain, the thrones cast down and the “ancient of days did sit. The question might be asked “Had Christianity, Tost its hold in that hour?” T anawer “No!” For notwithstanding the iron decrees o! cpraged monareh, and the slaughter of those who had faith in God, the fire kept burning in “Lollards Tow- ers and the Cateconbs" until like the risure san, it crept over the moun- tain of oppression and shined from above into the vales and chasms giv- ing life nq strength to a creation that lived by the equacor and be- tween he poles.

Our Pasadena Correspondent The demonstration in Pasadena by reason of the signing of the armistice terms by the Germans was a howing success. Quite a number of race people were very much in evidence in the rejoicing, and made themselves heard as well as seen. The community Red Cross Auxiliary made a splendid showing in the impromptu parade on Monday afternoon notwithstanding the very short notice given for assembling. About 32 of them reached in the parade in their uniforms and were heardly cheered. in Pasadena ban on the curved at 4 allowed the services on prayer metic cause of a people on Su As yet Lo the ban, and this week we people to Pasadena come you. Mrs. Haze The Negro Welfare committee of Pasadena should get busy at once and see to it that Negroes are represented on the Committee that will be appointed to arrange for the home-coming of the boys as our boys have fought well and valiantly all along the line in France and they will expect to see some signs of the spirit of Democracy for which they have been fighting on foreign fields. As we know that President Wilson in his momentous address to the people of the United States for justice and fair play for all peoples, urged upon every individual to do their part in bringing this about, so it is up to the Negro to bring every presidee to bear in an intelligent way to better conditions over here when our boys come back from over there. It is quite wonderful that of the eleven boys represented on the service flag in the Friendship Baptist Church, that up to this time we are not advised a single casualty among them. We should make this a reason for great rejoicing as we believe that it is the answer to the many fervent prayers sent up by their many friends. We would advise however that we be overtaking them before they reach danger of accidents and other causes, vertaking them before they reach home. Another cause for great rejoicing The Afro-American Watts Branch of the American Red Cross had their first annual election of officers, Wednesday evening, November 6th. The officers elected for one year are as follows: Mrs. Lonaida Johnston Chairman; Mrs. Mattie Lee Duckett Secretary; Mrs. Lillian Montgomery Treasurer; Mrs. Claudyne V. Lampkin, Purchasing Agent; Mrs. Emmelpine Claussell, Assistant Chairman; Miss Grace Owens, Assistant Secretary; Mrs. Pearl Comfort and Mrs. Emma Lishey, Committee on Hospital Garments. The Executive Committee was also named and there is still several other committees to be appointed, but the Branch postponed these appointments until next meeting. Members present, twenty. The working members this week are making men's day shirts for convalescing soldiers. Little "Chink" McGinnis, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew McGinnis of Oakland Ave., was buried Tuesday afternoon. He died Monday of pneumonia. A few more Watts people left Sunday night for the cotton country. Mr. Sylvester Pierce and wife are now able to be up and around. Watts schools are opened with a small attendance. POLITICAL POT PIE. Frank H. Mouser has no cause for regret over his showing in the Twenty-ninth Senatorial District, despite the herculian efforts made to defeat him by "big business," he received in the Seventy-fourth Assembly District, a fifty-fifty division of the entire vote cast. One of the Most spectacular methods of boarding the "band-wagon," after it has pased safely, is the announcement of a joint reception for "OUR CANDIDATE," by the "Republican Protective League," C. Oliver, Chairman, and the Citizen's Advocate co-operating. To accomplish this defeat they will have to tread backward, in order to figure out a bit of strategy to back up a waning cause of political life on the strength of being identified with a winner to whose success in the very beginning they offered nothing but obstacles. The Roberts' meeting for campaign purposes was held, public notice given the same, organized, officers elected, workers and contributions called for and the call was urgent. And among those who answered where were those who now are pulling at the bit to celebrate. If the Citizen's Advo- PAGE EIGHT --- in Pasadena was the lifting of the ban on the Churches, etc., that occurred at 4 p.m. Wednesday and allowed the churches to hold prayer services on their regular mid-week prayer meeting night and will be the cause of a great gathering of the people on Sunday at all the churches. As yet Los Angeles has not lifted the ban, and should they not do so this week we invite the Los Angeles people to Pasadena to worship with the Pasadena churches as all will welcome you. Mrs. Hazel Lee of Michigan City, Indiana is the house guest of her aunt, Mrs. Newman at 1147 Division St. Pasadena. We hope that Mrs. Lee will be so delighted with our beautiful city that she will make it her permanent home. All of the activities of the different churches will resume as they were before the ban placed on all public meetings. The Union Thanksgiving service by the colored churches of Pasadena should be the largest and grandest ever held here, and the people should forego all else and make it so. It is hoped that the pastors of the different churches will begin arrangements at once for the union service. There is a great deal to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and all should appreciate it. The boys in France get and read the Eagle, and everyone that has any news should Phone, or mail or hand it in to the Pasadena Correspondent in order that the boys may get all the home news for which they are all very anxious. All news items should be in by Wednesday evening of each week. Call Colorado 1212 or mail to 21 Alessandro Plz; and it will be greatly appreciated. All churches, Lodges and social activities will be cladly received for the Eagle, as we wish to create a full page section for Pasadena. cate ever gave editorial support to Assemblyman-elect Roberts, our Pot Pie artist failed to see it. But it is alright, the boys like to see such a superhuman feat performed, as board-in a band-wagon in operation after the procession has passed. Already the political machinery for Municipal elections six months hence is being put in order. The fight for Councilman at the next city primary will be a lively one, and the question as it relates to the present body is: Who will be able to stand? And now we arise to ask, why is it that with that strong galaxy of Colored lawyers in this city, that the race cannot have a representative in the City Prosecutor's Office. One thing is certain, W. H. Sanders was the worker in the Jitney Buss fight who did real things, and those who tried to go around him found out to their sorrow, that they were not even considered as being actually on top of the earth. Judge Russ Avery can justly give thanks to the hosts of colored voters whose unquestioned loyalty made his election possible. Talk about Judge J: C. Rlves, he is truly a race horse when it comes to getting votes. The Welfare Committee of the Ministers' Alliance did valiant service in defeating the come-back of the jitneys. In the Police Judge race, Judge Richardson pulled up as fifth man, it was a narrow margin. Let us hope that the Judge will make a record this term which will put him in the front ranks of the possession. There are many signs for good out of the result of the election, not only was a real democracy shown in the election of Assemblyman Roberts, but some real progress and uplift have got closer together than ever, and the signs are that they will remain so, to the betterment of all concerned. Let us not forget the valiant service of Hon. Hugh E. Macbeth, rendered both as a member of the State Central Committee. With a broad vision he was at all times a central figure with the great services rendered Governor Stephens and the entire Republican ticket. --- --- --- City News Speaking of the Roberts campaign committee, the people are to be commended for the part they played in the success of this organization, prior to the ban being placed on all public gatherings, they met weekly at the V. M. C. A. on ninth St. and by small contributions to each meeting raised a campaign fund, the same was used to aid the registration of voters and as a result of these efforts more than 990 voters were registered, all thru the chairman and his aides, a close check was maintained at all times on the situation in the district, and as a result the magnificent victory was achieved. ***** Wm.

THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE c Your Greatest Opportunity What the success of the Square Deal Gas & Oil Co. means to the Negro of this Country Since this company has succeeded in bringing in Real Oil Wells with a gold production, and since it will be soon paying its stockholders a handsome dividend, it marks a new epoch in the financial history of the Negro of this country. It proves to the world that the Black Man is fully able, without the leadership and assistance of the White Man, to finance and operate big business enterprises the same as anyone else. We have a few more shares of this wonderful opportunity left, and it becomes your duty and the duty of every Race-loving Negro to do his bit in supporting and maintaining such legitimate Negro enterprises. It must be remembered, though, that we are not soliciting your support merely because you are a Black Man and because our company is a Negro concern, but because we are here offering you the same great opportunity that has heretofore been offered principally to the White Man. When our company begins paying dividends, which will be in the near future, it will mean prosperity and happiness throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America to each and everyone of our true, loyal and Race-loving stockholders. It will mean better homes for them; it will mean better education for their little ones; it will mean that broader avenues of business have opened for the Negroes, and lastly, it will mean that the contributions to the churches will be larger, thus enabling them to extend forward the work of God. This, my brethren, is what the success of the Square Deal Oil & Gas Company means to our Race. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why we are sincerely requesting you to buy, and encourage your friends to buy, every share of Square Deal stock that you can possibly get, while you can buy it at $3.00 per share, as we have only a few more shares left.
