NO SEPARATE HONORS ESTABLISHED 1979 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 32 NO MRS. S. RICHARDSON REPLIES Some days ago, Mrs. Margaret Peters a southern woman come out in the Examiner advocating the erection of a monument in Los Angeles to the colored soldiers in appreciation for the service rendered in die-honing autonomy, she at length told of not knowledge of the worth of this people she said. I am a southern woman, reared and brought up with colored people. And the most faithful and loving friend I ever had outside of our own family was my dear old black "Mammy" Harriet. When she died she left my little daughter her life long savings. I wish to head a list with the first donation toward getting a table or monument in Los Angeles in honor of our colored soldiers who taught so nobly to make the world livable for women and children. The southern people managed in our own way when a colored man committed a certain crime. It has taken millions of dollars and lives to correct the same offense by the Hunts. To which Mrs. A. C. Richardson took violent exceptions and penned the following answer to the Examiner which of course they would not publish, but addressed her the following note: Office Los Angeles Examiner Dec. 20, 1913 Mrs. Sallie T. Richardson, Dear Madame! Your favor of the 29th seems to be based on a belief that the American government and people do not appreciate the service of our Negro troops in the European war. The Examiner is unable to see any evidence of such a feeling. It is not a propitious time to promote controversy. President Wilson and his advisers, no doubt, will take no all such matters by and by. Mrs. Richardson's letter to the Examiner follows: Los Angeles Cal. 11-27 18 Editor Examiner: In response to the suggestion of Mrs. Margaret W. Peters in the "Examiner" of Nov. 25 I wish to ask if the American people all over this broad land. North and South are not preparing to erect monuments to the American soldiers? We had Indians, Mexicans, Japanese and Chinese in this war, all just as brave and loyal as the Negro. Will there be separate monuments erected to them, in this spirit of disunity? The American Negro belongs to America, just as much as a cup of water dipped out of the ocean is a part of the ocean. No matter what his color is, the American Negro has either the white man or the Indian's blood in his veins. When the Negro soldiers arrive at an Atlantic port with an honorable discharge, that esteem paid to worth, excellence of character, and integrity, will he see monuments everywhere saying to him; "Your part in this great war has been in vain." With this soldier will be Italians Armenians, Belgians, and perhaps a Hun. Why not all step into the melting pot and come out full fledged Americans? Uncle Tom and aunt Chloe represent that type of Negro that the emancipation proclamation failed to reach. Many of them received cold food and old clothes for their services, and thought as they were taught. But the Negro of today can think for himself. And we refuse to believe that there Northern white man does not understand us. He understands that we want equal opportunity with equal pay and the right to spend our money where we please. The Negro fought War Saving Stamps. Thrift The California Eagie claims. Liberty bonds, and shed his blood, the feels that he went all the way in this war. And now he only asks, but you take that rope from around his neck, and take down those signs. "This place for Negroes." Let him feel that he is part and parcel of this government and that he is to help make it the grandest and most glorious government in all the world. Shelle T. Richardson 1911 S. Washington St. L. A. Cal. ORGANIZE HISTORY COMMITTEE Monday evening was a tired letter day" in the history of the Negro in California, the organization of a colored race War history Committee to cooperate with the California War History Committee, State Council of Defense of California, in placing in the archives of this state an authentic history of the war activities of the Colored race. Wesley M. F. Church was the scene of much earnest work of organization and the race demonstrated their appreciation of the opportunity given them to have their very creditable war activities perpetuated in the authentic records of their state. The masse meeting last Monday evening was attended by an earnest people and can be taken as a guarantee that the history of the race will be both comprehensive and accurate. Roy B. Shaw, pastor of Wesley M. E. Church presided and William E. Easton Historian of the Colored race by appointment of the State Council of License to assist Dr. O. O. Coy, Secretary and Archist of the California Historical Survey Commission and the Negative Secretary of the California War History Committee, was the principal speaker, outlining the issue of the work of a War History Committee, reading the official pamphlet, entitled: "California in the War" which outlines the work of the organization of War Committees and the necessity of co-operation. In his appeal to the self-interest of of the Colored man he said among other timely things: Yes, we have met tonight for a solitary purpose, no other than to place in the written records of our state, a history of the actual war activities of our race in this great war for a world's democracy for which the records show that 400,000 of our brethren fought over-seas, and for which every member of our race in California endeavored to do his and her full part, at home. We are here tonight to organize the first War History Committee of the colored race on the American Continent, and each and everyone who is present this evening is here to help perpetuate the valiant deeds of California abroad and place enduringly into the records of our state those of us who remained at home and contributed of our energies and means the sinews of war and the moral support of a loyal people. No race variety more so than the American Negro contributed more in proportion to his numbers and means than we. The nation called for 8 per cent of the force actually enlisted and drafted from the colored race and the records shown by our eminent war leader, Mr. Scott, show that we contributed 15 per cent, nearly doubling the number of men required of us. And the same records show that where but 24 per cent of the white men called to the colors were able first and to prove the physical test of fitness, the Negro man made 36 per cent on the same test. And morally, we are the only race in this country that gave absolutely encouragement to German propaganda, and we never produced one disloyal American citizen. San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER 14, 1918 War History Committee Organizes The wonder is, that in face of race discrimination in public places, we were so uncomplaining, never slacking and always living up to our time-honored tradition of unquestioned loyalty when the nation called its citizens to the colors. In this, we have been more self-sacrificing than any other race in America, more forgetful of self and more alive to the demands of the hour notwithstanding civic wrongs and odious race discrimination, we have shown a sublimity of devotion, a devotion to which the Negro alone is capable. Peace has come to the Nations of the world and the Negro has unalteringly done his full part, and in recognition of that service the great State Council of Defense of California has offered us this golden opportunity to go into the war records of our state as we would ourselves choose to go, giving our own version of our war activities and thus pleading our own cause for an enviable place in the American sun, a place of economic and civil equality. We have the material about us to make an argument for our recognition in full as American citizens; we have the testimony to give without extenuations, without equivocation or elaboration. We will gather unvarnished facts concerning our war activities with no desire to detract from the merit of others, the colored race's war History Committees of the State of California shall engage in the most important duty of handing down to posterity, preserved in the archives of California's enviable war history, the still untold sacrifices made on the altar of our common country that the world be made in fact and in deed, safe for democracy. The following persons were elected as the officers of the committee. Pres. Rev. A. B. Shaw, Vice Pres. Rev. C. P. Jones, Sec. G. P. Brown Fiscal Agent W. H. Sanders, City Historian Mrs. B. C. Offitt. Assemblyman elect F. M. Roberts was announced as General secretary of the State. From time to time there will be called war history Committee meetings, by the president Dr. Shaw. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor Of The Eagle, Dear Sir: After reading the splendid article by attorney Willis O. Tyler advocating the placing of Negro officers with Negro troops in the regular army. I cannot refrain from offering a suggestion along that line, as Mr. Tyler stated, Negro troops, officered by Negroes with only 3 months training have "gone over the top" in No Man's land and proved to the world their efficiency and courage. Around the peace table at Versailles we will hear pleas for home rule for Ireland, pleas for Belgium, pleas for Poland and all oppressed countries. We will find the task of levying and apportioning indemnities, the division of captured dreadnaughts and merchant marines. Statesmen will revel in their pet hobbies creating a League of Nations and Democratisising the peoples of the world, but the cause of the black man will be unheard, and the gallant part he played in the overthrow of the mighty will not be spoken of. If there is anything done in the way of justice and equality of opportunity for the Negro, he must do it himself, and only through unity of purpose. There is already a rumor that congress intends to increase the size of the standing army in peace times, and that men of executive and military ability will be retrained to form this increased army. Let attorney Tyler be sponsor for a petition to Congress asking that laws be enacted to authorize the officering of Negro troops with Negroes and that if the peace strength of the army is increased, then let the Negro regiments be increased proportionately and Negro officers be retained. Circulate this petition in every state in the Union and get the signatures of ten million Negroes, and white people as well who have a sense of fair play, and Congress cannot and will not ignore such a unified plea for justice. Now is the time for experience has taught us that it will not be long before the gallant record of the black boys who made the supreme sacrifice in the cause of freedom and Democracy will be forgotten by those they benefited most. Yours Truly. ALEXANDER SOMERVILLE. MOUSER APPRECIATIVE Los Angeles California. Dear Friends: I want to express to you my thanks for the loyal support you gave me in my recent fight for state Senator. It was awfully nice of you to write those splendid editorials about me and give me so much valuable publicity through your paper, and my friends, you did all this without reward and without pay. I am glad, indeed, that you appreciated my six years of long hard work in the legislature of California to serve all the people of my district and State. shall never forget three beautiful compliments that were given me during my six years of public service. The first one was by a dear friend of mine who called upon me after my first election to congratulate me upon my being successful. After he got through all the nice things he had to say, I said, come on Jake lets go to a picture show. He looked at me a minute and said, "Say Frank, I thought this new job of yours would swell your head, but thank God you are still the same old Frank". My friends I have always tried to be just plain Frank to all the people during my terms of office. The second one was by an old colored politician. I was standing in front of my house talking to a number of men when this old colored politician came along and said; "There (pointing his finger at me) is a man who won't give you money to buy your influence or vice—that man is a man." My friends, I have never had a "bag of gold" to buy anyone's influence to work for my election or corrupt my fellow citizens. The third one was by a distinguished corporation attorney and lobbyist. I was sitting at my desk looking over some bills the last day of the session when this influential gentleman called to say good-bye. He said, "Mr. Mouser, I want to bid you good-bye and while you have very often voted against our measures. I want to say, you have always given us an opportunity to present our side of the case and I want to thank you for your courtesy and fairness." My friends, I have always tried to be fair and courteous at all times and under all circumstances and to do my duty to all the people of my district and state. I am proud of my public record and I thank you and the people of my district for permitting me the privilege of devoting six of the best years of my life in their service and in the service of the great State of California. With best wishes and again thanking you, I remain, Sincerely, FRANK H. MOUSER. COLORED PEOPLE! HERE IS YOUR CHANCE. FOR SALE: LAND! LAND!! LAND!! Over 5,000 acres of the finest land in the world. Water already developed. Over a million dollars spent to develop this water and put this land in sha'epor the market. This land can be had in 10-acre tracts at from $150.00 per acre up. It is located adjoining the city of Corona just 50 miles from Los Angeles, on the finest Boulevard in the State of California. We have secured the consent of the owners to sell to COLORED PEOPLE. We told them that our people were as much entitled to good investments as any other people. We have won for our Race the first opportunity in the history of California to buy in a high-class tract, at the same price and on t chsame condition as other people. This is the sound of world Democracy for us. Shall we heed the call? Right here in California is our chance to get land at a very low price on easy terms. We consider, that we have won a signal victory for our people. We have been trying for two years to get the permission to sell to Colored people high-class California Farm land. Other races have grown rich, while we have been dredging along on a meager existence—Why? Because we have not had an opportunity to get California Land. We went to Watts, at $1,000.00 per acre—my no chance; we went to Victorville, no water, sand storms, general conditions bad. NOW COMES A CHANCE to get real high-class farm land, plenty of water and some of it already in fall bearing fruit trees. Come and talk the matter over with us—LAND DEPT. BOOKERTEE INV.T.

KANSAS DEFENSE SOCIETY BUSY We are in the receipt of literature and a personal appeal from Nick Chiles. It's president asking that we should do our bit out this way toward assisting the soldiers now confined in prison at Fort Leavenworth for the alleged part they took in the Houston riot in 1917. The Kansas Defense Society is organized for the purpose of securing the release of these men, and they are asking the cooperation of the colored people throughout this country, to help them in this great fight for justice. The Eagle will be glad to receive any donation which any of our readers will desire to make for this most worthy cause, and forward the same to the Kansas Defense Society. We have at this office a list for those who want to help this cause, now come on and make a showing for the Negroes of California. HABEAS CORPUS FOR RELEASE OF SOLDIERS IN THE HOUS ..... TON RIOT. 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 on 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-comissioned 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 month's 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 festify as they did on account of fear or promises made them for their own safety. Under rules of the court martial 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 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 THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPPER ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 44 ORS --- 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 known 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 discipline upon Christian civilization to have such things exist in this country, and some methods should be used to help detectives and officers to run down these lynchers and bring them to justice. As afterward, the Kansas Defense Society is soliciting funds to be used in this case, and anyone desiring to help write NICK CHILES, President of the Kansas Defense Society, Editog and Owner of the Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas. PROPERTIES CHANGE HANDS. Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Beverly will soon be domiciled in their six room home just purchased on East Washington Street, near Central Avenue. These young people are well-known throughout the city. Mrs. Beverly being the daughter of "Dad" Shores who has been in the employ of the Security Savings Bank for thirty years. The Southwest corner of Seven-seventh and Nassau has just changed hands. This is a good piece of property and has space for three tenants. Both of these sales were made by M. G. Stokes, 1873 E. 12th St. HOTEL MCGARRITY 1013 U. Central Ave. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. McGarrity who have operated a 14-room rooming house at 1341 Newton St. for the past 2 years have purchased the largest and most modern Hotel or Central Avenue. This Hotel was recently operated and owned by J. W. Gordon. was also owned previous to Mr. Gordon's ownership by Mr. Lee Allen. It is now owned and controlled by two of the most popular and wide-awake citizens among us. Mr. and Mrs. McGarrity promise to give a place for the best class of our people who travel to stop. It consists of 52 rooms, hot and cold water in every room. The many friends of this young couple are already busy advising people where to stop, if they want a place that is modern and operated strictly along legitimate lines. Mr. and Mrs. McGarrity by virtue of the fact that they are Christian citizens, of high standing, and unitarians in thought, should encourage and demand the best wishes of Central Avenue Business people as well as the public, in general.

COKEMAN—THE PIONEER AND HUSTLING EMPLOYMENT KING. As regular as the Christmas edition of the California Eagle goes forth, we are privileged to chronicle the fact that the far-famed employment king, J W Codeman, is still on deck and keeping abreast of the times and playing secondiddle to no other in his line in the whole country. As a matter of fact there are none among the many employment managers of our race who can measure up with the indomitable Coleman with a quaint humor and prolific flow of sound reasoning. Coleman is not only a benefactor to keep one in a job, but likewise as an advisor and lecturer, he instills into the minds of many higher ambitions and a stronger hope to do and accomplish something along the line of effort. Therefore among those who labor Coleman's name is a household word and his exploits along this line are varied and many from furnishing a buss boy at a second-rate boarding house to the most exalted positions to be bad Coleman has qualled, and has even ran out of the city a "Black Special" loaded to the guards with help for the Cotton Fields and other agriculture fields in this and adjoining States. He specializes in "jobs" that's all. If you are out of a job Coleman's office is your haven and your refuge. He has jobs for sale; tat is his business and of course must have compensation for his effort, there is a regular scale of prices, sliding in a way, when according to the wage and importance of the position your fee is regulated. One of the strong traits in Coleman's character is his absolute good nature, and his readiness to at all times give his staunch support to all movements for the progress of his people, he is one of the foremost churchmen of this city, as well as an earnest and zealous fraternal man, having ascended the highest rung in Mansonson and Odd Fellowship. Along the line of effort in civic affairs he is always to the forefront, holds a record for attendance on the Forum and has been most prominent in the deliberations of that body, and on several occassions a leading candidate for the presidency of the distingushed organization. Others may come and others may go but Coleman goes on forever. THE MISSING LINK (Read at the Forum last Sunday by Mr.E. Douglass Warren.)) Since time imemorial I believe, and surely since the earliest of my THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE memory man has sought vainly for that animal which he thought connected him to the lower breed of things or "the missing link." However, I am content to let this be as it may, and banish it to the seas of mystery along with the other phenomena, but the missing link of which I speak is an integral quantity, a thing of most vital importance to the negro; yes, a thing that is destined to connect the negro of mental task to the negro of higher profession and literary education or figuratively speaking that is to unite the feet of this gigantic human structure, the negro, to his head. Indeed that thing which, when truth gets a hearing, will be declared the underlying cause of this world war; then surely a thing, if neglected by the negro, means a self supporting people, and this thing is COMMERCIALISM. Why friends, we are all inclined to think that we are as capable and self-supporting as any other people, which is indeed loyal as a thought, but delusive in practice. Let us take an example: If tomorrow we were thrown out into the wilderness upon our own resources, and if our women should turn to us for the first principles of home comforts, where could we put our hands on the ready man to take charge of erecting a gas plant, or to supervise an electro-lighting plant, or to provide water on a large scale such as the Owens River project and many other necessities which time will not permit me to mention. Are there any present here who could undertake any of these tasks? I dare say, none; for we, of the present generation, accustomed to an easy living life made possible through the art of present day science and inventions, would find ourselves more helpless than our grandparents who lived close to nature to that extent that they could go out and obtain those things necessary to life. In all our high schools and colleges in and about the city, how many of our youths are taking courses in Engineering, either electrical, civil chemical or mechanical? How many are preparing themselves in the applied sciences such as Chemistry, Physics or Geology? They tell us friends, that Africa is rich with gold, silver, diamonds, crude rubber, fine timber of all kinds among other things, from which other peoples are growing immensely rich, while the verro finds it untenable, and why? will tell you why only for the lack of the above mentioned men, in other words, the COMMERCIAL MEN. When once we have these men, we shall not ask to be sent; but they will go, of their own accord, into the undeveloped places and produce for us millionaires like the French negro who was read of in our Current Tops last Sunday. negro shall mobilize his forces that he shall engrench himself around about the various fields of industry, and, at the earliest possible time, go over the top and not return, until this missing link has been amply replaced by our scientific men, and the negro has the recognition as a commercial people among all races. Oh may we do as Mr. Roosevelt has said "Dream at night and act the next day." I hope, friends, that these remarks shall move you, not alone to words but to positive action, and that we shall seek some way very soon of encouraging the negro youth to enter these fields of activity and verily I do implore the Almighty God that the City News FAR FAMED CADILLAC CAFE.

At 10 Oclock Mr. Middleton was summoned home by phone call, and when arriving was profoundly dumfounded to meet a course of relatives and friends, who greeted him with songs and laughter A short welcome address was delivered by Prof C A Blygers, who acted as master of ceremonies for the occasion. Patriotic songs were sung by the house, a beautiful golo was rendered by Mass Janie Lookett if Duarte also a pleasing instrumental selection by Mrs C J Smith. Mr. Middleton having had time to gain his equilibrium, was called on for an expression, he responded in a jovial manner similar to his shock but pleasant surprise. Very appreciative dainties and refreshments were served. Those guests to enjoy the evenings ovation were Mr. and Mrs W Vanfelt, Mr. and Mrs C J Smith, and daughter Egay and Mrs N P Grogg Prof. C A Biggers and sisters Misses Eva, Mabel and Mrs Moore; Mr. and Mrs Ocular McClain, Mrs J Moxley and daughter Miss Jane Lockett and brother Miss Nannie Jossup, Mrs Tennie Hill, Mr A D Nichols, Mrs Sarah E Middleton, Mr Payne Middleton, Mrs E Scott, Mr and Mrs Frank Williams Mrs Augusta Trout, and Mr Jas Shaffer.

It soothes his sorrows heals his wounds and drives away his fear. Those of us during this time who have been inflicted in any way—the takes it up again, going farther, and says—I can makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manner to the hungry soul, and to the weary rest.'

It was a delight to book into the face of our children in their places at Sunday School. Our Superintendent, Mr. S. P. Johnson being sick. Vice Superintendent Mr. Harry Patterson was in charge and received the heavy praises of the Pastor and Teachers. The Lesson "Joseph made Governor of Egypt" was helplessly discussed in the several classes. The Pastor called attention to the excellent explanations brought out by Superintendent, Mr. J. D. Groves. In the final address the Pastor took occasion to how the danger in choosing a middle course in dealing with anything wrong. While credit must be given to Ruben for his worthy intention yet withstandings, the fact remains that he stood out family for no punishment whatever to Joseph then he would not have been sold into bondage by his brother which has after renamed could not undo. A committee of three ladies was appointed to make arrangements for the and Christmas treat to the children and a suitable appropriation was wooed from the Treasury for the purpose. At the 11 o'Clock service a good congregation greeted the pastor and there was every indication of to get back home for Divine Worship. The Choir under the direction of Trustee, Hubert and Groves rendered excellent music and immediately proceeding the sermon Dr. Proud requested that all stand and sit, without the use of either Orna or Plato the good old Hymn. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound" the response to the request in the audience to their feet and a vowel of the old in from sinning was once more heard in Zion. Truth it is a joyful thing to engage in the worship of God. What would become of this wretched world were it not for the Religion of the Lord Jesus Christ? The Text was from Psalm 6:1 "Pause Wasteth" for Three O God, in Zion. Among the many points brought by Dr. Prayed as reason for praise and thank giving, were (1) Deliverance from the one occuadual war; (2) God in the four year, struggling this people with necessities of life; (3) A special Divine Providence over us as a race, during the epidemic; and (4) Our hope of everlasting life. There was evidence of general acceptance of the message and thanksgiving to God for the outpouring of the Holy spirit. Three persons joined the Church upon the call of the pastor, among whom was the Rev. Dr. Pedigrew who was received for baptism this coming Sunday. The splendid offering of 1852 16 was taken up The Communion service at night was marked with Divine approval. One dear soul joined the Church by experience partook of the Sacrament, and in going home fell on the side walk. She was taken home by some of the members she grew worse, and fell asleep in Jesus on Monday morning a 2 o'Clock. We send forth our sympathies to the bereaved husband and other relatives.

First we want to state that we co-invoke with the liberal praise of the pastor of the Independent church in his article of last week of the generosity of the CALIFORNIA EAGLE and the New Age for giving the churches such a vast amount of space to write church notes and in a way to advertise our services. We should come one way of remuneration. Our services last Sunday the 5th were indeed inspiring, and in some ways phenomenal. Rev. Mrs. Wilson preceded her closing sermon, and the response to the people in contribution was surprising for the sage thru which the church has gone in the past week of the epidemic. And the song, service by Steropictian lantern ships, marked a new feature in race churchnity in this city, and bids fair to place our night service on record as being one of the best attended of our in the city. A special feature of the song service for Sunday night Dec. 15th from 7 to 7:30 will be LEFT THE LOWER LIGHTS BE FURNISHED and THROW OUT THE LIFE LINE, shown with seven beautifully Illustrated High Grade Art Colored Drawings that explain the sentiment of the song. You will need a treat not to see these drawings and hear their songs, directed by Prof Bynum. All song are sung from Strooptean readings. Special for Sunday night, Dec. 29th. "The Other Wise Man". You know the story of the three wise men from the east, and how they traveled from atar to offer their gifts at the magor Cradle in Bothelehem. But have you ever heard of the story of the other wise man who also saw the star in the rising and set out to follow it and yet did not arrive with his booth in the presence of the Young Child of Jesus? Of the great desire of the fourth pilgrim and how he was denied, and yet accomplished in the denial: of the many problems of his soul and the long way seeking, and the strange way of His Finding The One He Sought? Henry Van Dyke tells this story as he heard in the hall of dreams, in the Palace of Man's Heart. Every christian should read it and see it illustrated. You can secure the book at the book store, and you can see it illustrated at the First A. M. E. Zion Church, Sunday night, Dec. 29th. NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH N23 Paloma Ave. Key, A.

The great trouble with so many of us the fact that it they perchance to exe and unimportant thing, they become of great superiority over their fellowman they are especially enlightened to do great or such has vanished.

Of the California Eagle is a Christian the big majority of our race paperistance to travel when we come double with so many of our would-be they perchance to excel, even if at thing, they become obsessed with over their fellowman, and then easily qualified to do great good, they finished. WE THE COLORED ARMY OF GREETS' contribution in our last issue of comment, the idea of Colored officers is one of the very best helpful service, not only for the office recognition for the race. We since be taken up and pushed to the end unit. Under the tenents of our nation reason why this most feasible institution, being made will along the line for of our citizenship to have their right, this Nation should certainly do. is great faith in the people or set of our trail for producing Something, Mexico, just so we are placed in line with producers. The ban has been lifted, the greatest sarcise. The people themselves their own hands and use every nuisous disease. There was the duty, to let the board of health to give to keep it down, and the city judge someone could gather in these to think of it this nation has the real front of life and death at all t Mrs. Richardson's article which we are reproducing in this is sue. At least got them told. Let us hope that when our president puts his feet under that peace table that there will be something doing. Every issue of the California Eagle is a Christmas Number in comparison to the big majority of our race papers, therefore we have no great distance to travel when we come forth with said issue. The great trouble with so many of our would be leaders is the fact that if they perchance to excel, even in the minutest and unimportant thing, they become obessed with a feeling of great superiority over their fellowman, and then, even though they are especially qualified to do great good, their usefulness for such has vanished. LET'S HAVE THE COLORED ARMY OFFICERS. Willis O. Teller's contribution in our last issue has attracted much favorable comment, the idea of Colored officers for the four Colored regiments is one of the very best real solutions of reward for faithful service, not only for the officers themselves but a splendid recognition for the race. We sincerely trust that the matter will be taken up and pushed to the end that this can be brought about. Under the tenents of our new Democracy there is no good reason why this most feasible plan should not be put into execution. Openings are being made all along the line for the officers of other groups of our citizenship to have their reward for their fealty to Country, this Nation should certainly do no less for this people. The Eagle has great faith in the proper set of men who go forth to blaze the trail for producing Something, whether in California or in Mexico, just so we are placed in line to become real honest to goodness producers. While the Flue ban has been lifted, the great epidemic goes forward just the same. The people themselves must now take matters into their own hands and use every necessary persecution against this pernicious disease. There was too much money at stake they say, to let the board of health to go on unhampered in their battle to keep it down, and the city just had to be opened up so that someone could gather in these floating dollars. But coming to think of it this nation has the reputation of putting the dollar in front of life and death at all times.

However the colored American, helped to win what was called democ the war for the country, and her Allies our dear president there will be smal wil' where the greatest battle knen fought, the peace going in rinds of governments as well as of ing their way to Versailles. A fecton with its convoy started and known as the presidential party, asions from some of the commender President Wilson the whole for so much trouble. the colored American, even thou what was called democracy, befo country,and her Allies realizest "Over There" where the greatest battle known to civilization has just been fought, the peace going is ringing stroke by stroke, and heads of governments as well as other representatives are wending their way to Versailles. A few days ago the George Washington with its convoy started across the ocean with what was known as the presidential party. If we are to draw our conclusions from some of the comments we have read we would consider President Wilson the whole conference, and can see no need for so much trouble. However the colored American, even though he has just helped to win what was called democracy, before the close of the war for the country, and her Allies realizes that if it is left to our dear president there will be small pickings for America's Sable sons even at the peace conference. It was suggested by some that the colored contingency of the United States send a representative, but others thought this unnecessary, since we are American citizens and would come under that head for consideration. But now, that the George Washington with the American delegation is about landing, we hear from all corners an urgent demand that we send a representative to the peace conference. Well I suppose we want to live up to our well established reputation; "BEST UP THE MEETING" by getting in about a month late, and demanding of the Speaker a seat on the platform, and a voice on the program. Well let's forget it, and while Uncle Sam and the Allies are getting Germany's goat "Over There" Let us get together over here; and when that master peace maker of all the world returns to his native land then; as one man, let twelve million black sons of America appear before him saying we have fought a good fight, we have kept the faith may we now enjoy the rights and priviliges granted under the 13th, 14th, and 15th. amendments of the constitution?

Windsor of Raymond La. and the Twelve Star Service Pin Presented to Him by the American Red Cross. Higher the rank to go and coding a twinkle in service upon the RAV R H Windows of Rayville, Louis, a serious Red Cross worker has been presented with a unique donation to the American Red Cross. The author of information sons, girls of whom are with the colors, the grandchildren minister of the Baptist church probably bolstered the request for sons in the military service of the United States. If there are any others with similar or better status, they are to be heard from. In the accompanying illustration of the twelve-star pin, topped with the Red Cross insignia, it will be noted that the first bar bears five stars. These represent the individual sons — Bonnie, Robbie, Jeff, Johnnie and Archie. The next bar lobes two stars representing twins, George and Lafayette; the next bar is similarly decorated, representing William and James, also twins; and the bottom bar, with its three stars, represents the triples, Matthew Mark and Luke. Eight of the boys are volunteers, and the other four were called in the draft. Upon hearing of the remarkable service of the Windser family, President Wilson, who is also president of the American Red Cross, wrote to the Rev. Mr. Windser as follows: "I am writing to say with what interest and illustration I have learned of the cost that we pay for your sons are in the service of our country, and the thirst we are quietly waiting to follow them. You is a splendid reward to all that you organize you from the bottom of my heart. The colored troops have proved themselves fine soldiers." In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles. Sarah Elizabeth Dickson, Plaintiff, vs. Edward Dickson, Defendant. Action brought in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles and the complaint filed in said County of Los Angeles, in the office of the Clerk of said Superior Court. The people of the State of California send greetings to Edward Dickson, Defendant. You are hereby directed to appear and answer the Complaint in an action entitled as above, brought against you in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, within ten days after the service on you of this Summons—if served within this County; or within thirty days if served elsewhere. And you are hereby notified that unless you appear and answer as above required the said Plaintiff will take judgment for any money or damages demanded in the Complaint, as arising upon contract or said Plaintiff will apply to the Court for any other relief demanded in the Complaint.

E. Norwood as its Secretary. The members and friends of this organization have remained loyal up to the present time. The president never loses an opportunity of probing into or getting at the bottom of any public evil, which comes up against or among our race, and even though he has been hurt by the demic has caused us to cease for a time our regular assembling together the Negro Women's Council is still at work. While so many of our race, who should be up and doing, are lying asleep at their post of duty. The Council is working hard for the advancement and betterment of our race. Now is the time, if never before in this Country which stands for Democracy, for us all to be up and doing. Let the white man know, that we know what Democracy means and that we want and must and will have our equal rights; and if we start a thing and don't succeed we will try and try again; never think of giving up until the great battle is won. We wish to extend to our many friends an good wishers of the organization hearty congratulations for a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year. ```markdown ``` MRS E. R. HUTSON. Pres. Mrs. Rosa Dedrick and son, Mr. and Mrs. Keene of East San Diego are all in this week with the Flu. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Starks left the city permanently for Los Angeles or San Francisco. Mr. Brisco Rease, red cap at the Santa Fe Station, returned after a siege of illness of a week. DIED: In this city, December S. 1918. Mrs. Myrtle Brown, wife of Mr. A. L. Brown, mother of Margaret and Ethel Brown and niece of Rev. C. Williams of San Diego. A native of California, aged 24 years, 11 months and 28 days. The funeral services were held at the Chapel of Johnson-Saum, 4th and Ash Sts., Friday, December 13th, at 3:30 p. in., Rev. G. W. Woodby and Rev. Guy officiating. Interment at Mt. Hope Cemetery. Mrs. Brown was a faithful member of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church; she was organist of the church and also of the B. Y. P. U.; a teacher in the Sunday School and Secretary of the Teacher's meeting. She was ever faithful at her post of duty whenever called upon. To those whom she held most dear we offer condolence and our sincere and heartfelt sympathy. Under the circumstances that is about all that we can do for them. Our sister has gone, but she is not forgotten; the grim tyrant, Death, has entered our midst and taken her from us but the memories of those few days that we spent here together will ever remain fresh in the minds of those who knew and worked with her in the church. To know Mrs. Brown was to love her; those who knew her best, loved her best. She was charitable, kind, loyal and tender-hearted. Good-bye, Mrs. Brown, may your soul rest in peace until the final summons of the Grand Exalted Ruler above, when we shall all meet gain, never more to part. We the friends of Mr. A. L. Brown extend our deepest sympathy in the behalf of the death of his wife. Patriotic and loyal citizens, soon as the quarantine lid is lifted in the city, Mr. W. T. Hendry and Mr. R. E. Chapman received authority from the Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to organize a branch of said Association in San Diego. A meeting of citizens that desire to blot out discrimination in the schools, theatres, at the ballot box, and believe that they are entitled to every privilege and opportunity as that of any United States citizen will be held after the holidays. If this is the platform, that you citizens will stand for in San Diego, affiliate yourselves with the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People and we will demand it. Anyone desiring to send in their membership now, see or telephone R E. Chapman, 1432 India St., Telephone Main 5850. Education is the wisdom of mother-wit, that which cannot be taken from you, as it is inherited from our ancestors, back as far as the pre-his- toric age, when Ethiopia ruled the world. There was never a nation whose will-power and mother-wit was as mighty as that of the noble Canaanites better known as the "black race" spoken of in the scriptures by historians of science. Lucifer, the serpent beast spoken of in Genesis, that derived Eve, was a man of great wisdom. Then what is wisdom? The spiritual gift to the humane mind. Education does not pertain to the knowledge of books only, as there are many of us who hadn't the opportunity to affiliate ourselves with science and literature. If many were to acquaint ourselves with the spiritual mind and learn to cultivate it to thoughts that are loving, true and uniting, there would be less strife among the progressives of the Afro-American. Regardless of the experience you received in a college or prate institution, think not, for a twinkle of an eye that you are better than those who were not so fortunate. If so, the education you received will make a fool of you. To make a success in this world today you must have some degree of education in books as well as in wisdom. Learn to use it in the right way and at the right time. Educate your children in the best of schools and teach them to use their hands as well as their minds. Then they will know the value of education. Parents, do not fail to visit the schools and see for yourselves if your children are progressing with their studies and take interest with them in their daily exercises. If the child does not show progress make an investigation with both student and teacher at once. Teach them neatness, tidiness, etiquette and to economize at home and the instructors will do their part with the knowledge of books. A Few Lines From San Diego. Mr. J.B. Bass, Editor Cal. Eagle.

Western Baptist Association Southern California SAN BERNARDINO. St. Paul A. M. E. Church Rev. Fred A. Hughes, Pastor There was a good attendance at St. Paul—morning, afternoon and evening—Sunday, and the sermons were food for the mind and soul. At the afternoon session Prince U. Kaba Rega delivered a lecture that was timely and about which we have heard much discussion. The Prince has held sessions Monday and Tuesday evenings and we believe we have been benefitted by his coming. Our rostrum was graced with such personages as Rev. James A. Stout of the Church Extension Department of the C. M. E. Church, Rev. Prince U. Kaba Rega of British East Africa, Rev. F. W. Cooper, Corresponding Secretary of the Western Baptist Association and Rev. C. J. Lockhart, pastor of the A. M. E. Church at Riverside. We note with pleasure the increase of visitors at our services and now that we have an excellent visiting committee we are looking forward to an increased membership. Lloyd Nowlin at Victorville and Miss Esther Carter of Riversie were quietly married at the parsonage by Rev. Fred A. Hughes last week. Better late than never, hence we report that W. W.

New Hope Baptist Church fully took on its normal attitude on last Sunday. The Sunday School as well as the B. Y. P. U. was largely attended. Two large and appreciative audiences greeted pastor Reed at both services. The pastor in tune for the compliment preached two never-to-be-forgotten sermons. He began his series of sermons on the "Parables of the Kingdom," beginning with the parable of the "sower" as it is commonly called, from Matthew 13. His outlines were: "Parables defined; Christ as a great parablist; the purpose of parables; the sower the seeds, and the evil. At the evening service he preached from John 1:1 "Let not your heart be troubled." The fire klidified by this sermon is still burning in the hearts of that great crowd which listened to it. Rev Frank Johnson of Riverside was present and spoke in the interest of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Rev Little of the Park Ave Church Riverside was hipped at this church Sunday evening, as did Mr. Cole Chairman of the Meetings Committee of the N.A.V.A.C.

ADDITION TO EAGLE STATE A few months ago a little "blue eyed" cat came to visit at the Eagle Office. She stayed nearly three week and because of her beauty and atractive ways won the hearts of the entire force. But one day when "Kitty" layed on the sidewalk her owner came by and demanded her lost cat. Some tears were sned, and from that time on the real owner, and the adopted owner felt some mutual interest in little "blue eyes." The Ownership Problem Solved. Last Tuesday when Mrs. Kate Myrl of $14.40 Merchant St., the real owner of little "blue eyes" found that she was leaving Los Angeles and that it would be impossible to take "kitty" along she came to the Eagle Office with the little animal clasped tendently to her bosom, laid it caressingly in the lap of Mrs. Eagle, and little "blue eyes" is now comfortably domiciled at the Eagle Office where she is greatly loved, thanks to Mrs. Myrl. Among the sick list of the West Side are the following ersons: Mrs. Winkey of W. 36th St.; Mrs. Osborne of W. 35th Pl.; Mrs. Smith of Denker Ave.; Mrs. Spike, Mrs. Storks and Miss Michel Washington of W. 35th Pl.
