Volunteers Wanted In the Army of Justice ESTABLISHED 1878 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4488 This is not a brief for the Association; it needs no apology for its existence. The only mysterious thing to us is that with a credited numerical strength in the Nation of approximately thirteen million souls, not one of which is exempt from the prostitution because of their color, the Association numbers barely fifty thousand. Just think of it! Here is a body of men and women fighting the battles of Race proscription; industrial and economical restriction; mob violence; lynching and brutal murder of Negro women and children; with millions of the Race as passive lookers-on, either too blind to see their own peril or too careless for the future of their progeny to assist in the struggle. It is the non-resisting attitude of these millions that give courage to the malefactors and acuse them to believe that we are willing to submit — like cravens — to the insolent indignities of "Jim-Crow" laws and residence segregation. We had come to believe that the seeds sown by Frederick Douglas, Blanche K. Brewer John M. Langston, and the coterie of Negro leaders who began to presach Negro unity during the days of reconstruction, when we were just removed from thraldom, were at last taken root. We were sure that the soil had broken and the tree of unified endeavor was pushing upward to the sunlight, but when we review the past year and sum up the results, there appears to be, more than ever, a need for the work of a conscientious husbandman. Do you believe that with—say a million—of the Negroes behind him, that the Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., when he asked the Governor of a State what he intended to do toward apprehending the lynchers of two Negro women, would have received the answer, it is alleged was given, "Go to h—ll." Oh, no! that Governor would have been more circumspect, if not more respectful, in his reply. We believe that it was Benjamin Franklin who said, when signing the Declaration of Independence, "If we don't hang together, we undoubtedly will 'hang' separately." That grim quib applies to the Negro of the United States. If we hang together, we will cease to be hung separately at the hands of the lyncher. We have for a companion worker an Irishman who, although an American, is intensely interested in the struggle of Ireland, for political freedom. He often speaks of the sacrifices made to arouse the sympathy of the world to the justice of their cause. From the man at the deak, in the martis of trade, to the lowest worker, all contribute to the cause to make of the Emerald Isle a free government. He tells us how the mothers early teach their children of the wrongs against their race and instill in them the instinct of resistance. It will be no crime against the Government to instill in our youth, that respect can only be gained by a intelligent resistance to aggressions upon their rights of citizenship. In the meantime, let us be fighting against that sin which so easily beats us, to "let well enough alone." We really thought that that "let well enough alone" fellow was dead, until lately we met him on the ferry. We spoke of the effort, being made to ameliorate the condition of the Negro in the United States, and how necessary it was for each of us to put his hand to the plow and go to the end of the farrow. That we had given unduly to the Red Cross, and the enemy war necessities, bought War Savings Stamps and bonds until it last. That now war the time to fight the battle of Borne.

"Oh, well," was the reply. "Those things don't bother me, as I am not affected; at any rate, I believe in 'letting well enough' alone." We nearly choked with indignation, but it was only for a minute. We thought of the fifty thousand men and women fighting for the cause and the millions placidly looking on, and we realized that he was only a unit of the many who are likewise. There are millions more of his calibre. It does seem discouraging, doesn't it? But then there is always the joy of battle; battle for justice and equality before the law. It is propelling the thousands on, hoping that their endeavors will cause others to augment the ranks. Beautiful home of Mr. James L.

The 3rd Annual Conference of the People's Independent Church was duly convened at hte Church on Monday night at 7:30 o'clock. There were present a large number of members. The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. N. J. Johnson. Senior Deacon W. T. Allen presided at the opening services. Church Clerk Goo, A. Beagers then called the roll of the official family of the Church, at which time all present answered to their names. Rev. N. P. Greges then delivered his annual message to the large number present. The message recounted the great crisis of the people of the earth and pointed out the special blessings that we have engaged in this Nation, giving praise and thanksgiving to God for his many blessings, especially to this Church membership. In a perfectly Christian spirit he admonished the members to a closer walk with God and the cultivation of an unbroken chain of love one to the other. His message was a masterpiece and brought forth not alone the undivided attention of his hearers, but received their hearty commendation, as well. The nine Deacons having supervision over nine city districts in which the membership resides, rendered their reports, showing the number of visits made, prayers offered, charity distributed and fanerals attended. These reports were of vast interest to all because it is recognised within the Church life that these duties must be performed by deacons as well as pastor. The report of Junior Deacon A. B. Cahorus on the spiritual condition of the Church was read in the very last hour mentioned in this one only. ```markdown ``` This Week's ActivitiesBy Our Progressive Colored This image contains a blank space where text should be inserted.

It seems strange that when we have performed every duty imposed upon us by the United States, have willingly fought to give the world that which we do not enjoy at home—Democracy. And have sacrificed on that idealistic altar our blood and treasure, that we cannot do something for ourselves. Have we no pride of Race?

The report of the Church Clerk was up to its usual high standing, carefully and in detail showing all actions of the Trustee Board and other Boards, and also in accounting for the receipt and expenditure of $10,-254.70 during the fiscal year. Last year's meeting found us $1500 in debt for the Church plant, the same now having been reduced to $900. Commenting upon the financial status of the Church by the membership, the year 1920 was fixed for the time when every dollar of indebted- neess should be paid off. The report of the treasurer's receipts for the year was $10,245.70. The Committee on Nominations reported. Tuesday night's session was conducted in the usual way, and devotional exercises were under the direction of the Senior Descon presiding. The rendition of regular and special reports by the Auxiliaries, giving in detail the real effective work of the year, was of unusual interest. The financial reports were made in detail as to receipts and expenditures, and each brought forward a cash balance that bristled with the strongest evidences of sound business activities. Several visitors, who were presented at the Conference, stated that they never experienced such clear and comprehensive reports, showing the real work that had been done in a business-like manner, yet detailed in full, so that every one could know every detail on the part of those persons handling funds under the name of the Church. The membership paused in its proceedings more than once to pay high tribute of praise to those who had been so faithful. The report of the committee on "Pastors' Address" was well received, with the hearty thanks of the membership for the same. Comment on this report developed into a season of gladness, and for awhile it appeared that the great spirit of God hovered over the people there assembled. It developed into a short season of thanksgiving to God for having taken the hand of the people in His own hand and guiding them as he guided the children of Israel in crossing the Red Sea. This session was concluded at this time, and the people retired shouting, "It is good to be here." Wednesday evening the services were opened in prayer. The devotional service being again under the direction of the Senior Deacon. At this time the report of the Deaconesses were rendered, beginning with the general summary by the Chairman, Sister Laura Slatton. Descriptive words setting out the account as rendered by this excellent woman cannot be gathered together to do credit to her effort. She was careful enough to go into detail as to the capability of every ember of her large and important Board, and told of the energy and devotion to service of each of them.

In the pastor's annual address, attention was invited to the work of the men and women who were early on the picket line, and who contributed liberally of their earthly substance to the advancement of the Church militant. Bro. A. J.

Shackelford and Mother Ellen Huddelson Taft, with a loan of fifteen hundred dollars. In the report of the Committee on Pastors' Address, that committee recommended, and it was adopted by the Church, that to each of these heroic soldiers of the cross a page of the permanent Church records be dedicated and a brief history of their services to the same be recorded thereon, that the same may be deposited in the archives of this Church, to be read by future generations to lend them inspiration to do their Christian duty by the Church of God. The Auditing Committees have reported that they had carefully investigated the books and accounts of all the departments, and that the same was well kept and accounts balanced. The session was dissolved in the Committee of the Whole and proceeded with the election of twenty-two officers for the ensuing year. Prominent among those re-elected were: Geo. A.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH The attendance and interest at Sunday School last Sunday was in keeping with the instructive and inspiring lesson. Sister Evans sent in a good report, and some new scholars. The 11 o'clock service was remarkable for its solemnity. The subject was that of "The Judgment Day." The earnest attention and general acceptance of the message was noticeable. Three souls joined the Church at the close. Let us pray that the impressions of that service may be fruitful of a closer walk with our Master. At 3 p. m. a memorial service was held for our late Sisters Payton and Webber, and the resolutions and testimonies concerning these two loved ones were many and sincere. Our young people had a splendid session at the usual hour, with the pleasing and acceptable addition of current topics. The happy appointee was Mrs. Spear-Bass and she greatly benefited all present. The good officers and all the young people are going to remain over to the evening service, after their own is over, in the future. At the service at night the Master was again present with us. One joined the Church at the close. Be on time this Sunday, and come praying. At night the Lord's Supper will be observed.

BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Last Lord's Day was a day of great spiritual value to members of Birch St. Church. At 11 o'clock a.m. the pastor spoke upon the subject, "God's Workethings" "being for his and three works." "For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus who good work which God hath before ordained that we should walk, in them." "He clearly pointed out from this text the proper, work and conduct for those who constitute this spiritual creation in Christ Jesus. One bright young man came forward at the close of the sermon and was received into membership of the Church. It was a glorious time, when at 8 o'clock p. m., in the presence of members of various congregations, Rev. lifted up Christ as the world's magnet, in a message most wonderful. We feel much indebted to Rev. Washington and his good people; also Rev. Price, his good wife and people, who put so much life and joy into the services by the sweet music they rendered. We were highly pleased also with financial results of the occasion. Revs. Price and Jones lifted a splendid offering. Dr. Prewd, who was to have preached, was unavoidably absent. Rev.

The service was highly enjoyed and many were the expressions of helptiness derived from the morning message. At 8 o'clock the Choir had a special rally for the purpose of raising funds with which to purchase robes. Dr. C. C. Soleman of Trinity M. E. Church was the speaker at this service. The Dr. related some of the thrilling experiences while with the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. The large audience, which taxed the capacity of the house, was held in rapt attention for nearly an hour. The Choir rendered a splendid program for the occasion. Mrs. Naomi Pharr thrilled the audience with a beautiful contralto solo, and Mrs. Billbrew recited her latest original poem, "Black Boys in Kahkl, We're Mighty Proud of You," which was received with thunderous applause. At the evening services the congregation was favored with a thoughtful and impressive sermon from Rev. W. J. J. Byers of San Jose, Cal. The Holy Spirit was present and blessed the services. The coming Sunday being the first Sunday in February, the Holy Communion will be administered at both morning and evening services.

Don't fail to hear him. This congregation is not discouraged by the influenza epidemic and other unfortunate conditions that exist. Optimism and enthusiasm reigned supreme at the Conference just closed. The new slogan is, "Out of debt in 1920." LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 80th St. and Central Ave. E. E.

We want to acknowledge the sympathies of the many friends and Churches to us on account of our loss, and express our heartfelt thanks for the same. We also state with elation that many are expressing their sympathies in deeds, Mrs. O. L. Shackleford contributing the first five dollars to the reconstruction fund. We have launched a drive to raise $3000 to augment the insurance of $12,000, and hope to be able to reenter our office within three months, and we do heroin express our thanks for any charitable considerations. In a subscription effort without notice, the members subscribed nearly $1000 on the first Sunday, and we hope to raise it to $1500 out of the members alone. All of the subscriptions are in good faith. Until further notice we will worship in the Y. M. C. A., Hemlock and Ninth St. We want also to express our thanks to the First A. M. E. Church for their generous dealings in opening their doors to us without any remunerative consideration whatever. Our receipts were $2.15. On the third Sunday we will exhibit the second series of Pilgrims Progress. All who saw the first series were impressed with the splendid illumination thrown on the beginning of the Christian life; the second series shows a few incidents in the Christian's journey.

There are about 65 members in all connected with the six different tennis Clubs in and about Los Angeles, and that being the case, there should be at this time "exactly 65 different plans" in course of construction for raising the money with which to send at least "two teams" (the best that the Coast can produce) to New York to represent us in the National Tennis Tournament in August. The expectation is that there "crack players" will return to us with an "arm load of championships," but it, after having "shown the very best that is in them" (which we know they surely will do), they should fail to win such laurels, "we would gladly receive them with open arms and kisses." So far, there are about 16 players who look like "players-to-New York possibilities"; look 'em over: Alice Jones and Fern Caldwell played, three thrilling sets; Gilberta Turner and Fern Caldwell played a hummer 6-4, 3-8; Florence Harris and Anna O'Ree are whining them over; Lillian G. Hart, Mrs. Wm. M. Watson, Mice Sarah Shaw and Alvaro Caldwell are all playing "real tennis," and Hussein Gohry, Dan Gilbert, Gilberta Williams, and William Gilbert are all playing "real tennis." ```markdown ``` Los Angeles, Cal LORENZINI NTS TAILORS ctions ed rices d LORENZINI CALIFORNIA the season was won Sunday by Eddie Harris against Kemp, 12-10.

You can't beat the genial sergeant-at-arms of the Assembly; W. J. Leflar of Sacramento. He is the right man in the right place and will always have the respect of the members of the Assembly and the officers of the same, who serve him.

Historian Easton is very much elated to receive a very enthusiastic letter from First Lieutenant Jesse M. Kimbrough, U. S. A., American Expeditionary Forces, accepting the responsible post of Historian of the colored-Californians afield. Lieutenant Kimbrough One thing is certain; when the President comes home, somebody will be sure to tell him of the occurrences in the South; and then, what will his answer be? The prediction that the Democracy we have fought for would bring about better feelings in the South, is not borne out by the facts, but perhaps that prophesy did not apply to Texas. The question of city politics seems to be a very prolific one just now; in the meantime, unearthing a man to go against Mayor Woodman seems to be a prodigious task. There is room for a number of business concerns on Central Avenue, and we are very anxious to see more of them on this thoroughfare in the near future; the more the merrier, and it lends class to the occasion. The movement for a cleaner and better moral atmosphere among all classes of our citizenship is a good one, and it behoves the proponents of the same to see to it that men and women of the highest character and most sterling worth are at the head of the name. Otherwise all efforts will go for naught. Councilman Council has made for himself a very large number of admirers, because of the popular stand he has taken on all the measures that appeal to common sense. He is a scraper, too, and all the world likes a man who is insistent when he believes he is standing within his rights. He gets there with both feet. The Eagle clan just cannot play second fiddle in the field of journalism, and for that reason we propose to give to our patrons the very best in the line of effort that it is possible to produce. We are already seeing some encouraging signs for us as a time in the start of the ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Historian Easton is very much elated to receive a very enthusiastic letter from First Lieutenant Jesse M. Kimbrough, U. S. A., American Expeditionary Forces, accepting the responsible post of Historian of the colored Californians afield. Lieutenant Kimbrough is not only a product of Los Angeles' excellent High school, but he is also a graduate of an Eastern college, and his record in the Army, as we have learned, is making history for his people. Sunday, Feb. the 9th, will be generally observed as a memorial day for the late Colonel Roosevelt, and the colored people of this Nation should by all means generally observe this day. No great man in the history of this Nation has stood up for them more than this strenuous one. When the days looked dark, in tones of thunder, Roosevelt spoke up and said, "the door of hope should not be closed; all men up and no man down." Suiting words to action, innumerable instances are at hand where he fearlessly stood by his guns and gave to this people the highest possible recognition. Therefore, no man who ever rose to the heights is more worthy of the memory of this people than the late Theodore Roosevelt. This is the first year of a constructive policy for genuine world Democracy, and no Race more so than our race variety of American citizenship is directly interested. There can be no world Democracy that does not effect favorably the present unhappy status of this Race in the scheme of American citizenship, and we should just insist in a general betterment of our condition as an integral part of the general scheme for humanity's betterment. There is now a plan on foot to have a State Conclave of representative Race men and women for the purpose of mapping out some plan to better the civic condition of the 68,000 people of African descent in this State. This meeting, it is planned, to be held sometime in the latter part of March, or the early part of April. WHY THEY SHOULD BE SUPPORTED In a recent meeting of the Trustee Board of the A. M. B. On the 24th day of January, the first part of the 43rd California Legislature had adjourned, and it has now gone down in history for the first time that the colored Race has had a representative in the law-making branch of the California Legislature, in the person of Frederick M. Roberts, who represents the 74th Assembly District. The Race's representative has made in the short session a highly creditable record, having introduced sixteen bills, a number far beyond the average number introduced by an Assemblyman. The majority of these bills are important legislative measures of general interest. Among the measures introduced is one of significant importance to members of the Colored Race, and that is an Amendment to the Civil Rights laws of California doing away with the present cumbersome and ineffective law and substituting in its stead the New York State statute which positively guarantees equal accommodation for the Race in all public places. Mr. Roberts, in behalf of justice, introduced another measure, to prevent Race discrimination by life insurance companies doing business in this State. This is the enviable record made by our representative in the first half of the 43rd California Legislature, and it indicates very clearly that the 74th State Assembly District not only has a staunch representative but that the Race thruout the State of California is the gainer because of the fact that they have put Frederick M. Roberts on the job of helping to make laws for this great Commonwealth. HON. E. A. DICKSON BECAME MANAGER OF E. T. EARL'S NEWSPAPER INTERESTS. The Hon. E. A. Dickson has resigned his position as a member of the State Board of Control to accept the position of manager of the newspaper interests of the late E. T. Earl estate. The State of California, in these changes of Mr. Dickson's responsibilities, has lost the magnificent service of its ablest statesman, but the people of California have received at this time its greatest benefaction. At no time in the history of the State are the patriotic services of great newspapers, the moulders of public opinion and the guide to the people's requirements. more needed than at this important period of reconstruction, and the determination of Mr. Dickson to return to his first love, editorial management, is entirely to the gain of the people. We are sure that the Express, which has always stood for the highest aims of good government, will have new avenues of service to the people of California under the guidance of the man who made possible all of the great accomplishments thru the people's direct control of government. For years Mr. Dickson has been the political editor of the Kerr newspaper interests; today he is the sole responsible head. The assumption of his new duties will carry with them enlarged opportunities of usefulness to the electorate of his State, and the personal influence of Mr. Dickson will wield in all matters governmental, California takes on enlarged force. The Express will become the most powerful newspaper west of the Mississippi, and we are sure that it will continue to take high ground on all public questions affecting the general welfare of California. Mr. Dickson will now have to be reckoned with as never before, and the common people of all Raee varieties will have an earnest and effective adviser and friend in a position to do them the greatest good.

On the other hand, the preacher who is preacher in name only should be ousted from our ranks, for as a rule, he is a human parasite and reflects discredit on the Church with which he is connected.

W. H. Moore, the man who, tranquered last year successfully, counted for more than ten thousand dollars which came into his hands during the year, was re-elected to succ- cend himself. The large and appre- sitive vote given to our Chairman of the Trustee Board was the strongest evidence of the continued faith in the special ability, and adaptability, as well, possessed by him and which has distinguished him as a faithful member. He was Chairman of the Board long before there was a Church, and it is the wish of many that his valu- able services may be continued as long as he shall live among us. Possi- bly it is due to this good servant to say that no man has ever given more time and more closely supervised the interest of the Church than has our Bro. J. H. Shackleford, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Our reporter observed many things of merit in this review of ethi's Conference, many per- sones worthy of special mention. How- ever, nothing was more significant than the unanimous vote of the Con- ference giving the pastor, Rev. N. P. Greggs, and the Clerk, Geo. A. Bea- vaers, Jr., liberal increases in their monthly pay for the excellent services that these two servants are rendering. One of the great subjects constantly urged upon all was the practice of Christian love in all things. The pastor said he wanted the mem- berson to be one big family of real brothers and sisters in the fear of the Lord. He pointed out the numerous fields to be explored for humanity and for God, urging that the Christian religion should not be unbecomingly modernized, but that there should be a stricter practice every day in all the cardinal principles intended for shaping the true life of a churchman. Every session of the Conference was well attended, and on Wednesday night the same was adjourned sine di. Rev. C. O. Smith, one of Hutchinson's, Kansas, pioneer citizens, came home Christmas morning from Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he is pastor of the Second Baptist Church. During his five years of ministry in the far west, he has been a great help to humanity in both Church and State. Rev. Smith is one of tohse big-hearted men who is ever ready to push onward and upward for the betterment of conditions wherever it is his lot to be. For more than thirty years he has been preaching the gospel thought, which many souls have been made to realize that life is not worth living unless they know Christ as their Savior. Since being in the west he organized a Church at Ogden, Utah, with four members, which has steadily grown until its membership has reached more than forty. The property is now worth forty thousand dollars, with the Rev. A. J. Billingsly as pastor. He has organized a Church at Casper, Wyoming, with four members, and today they have twenty-five members, the Church property being worth $2500, of which the Rev. M. A. Ellenth is pastor. At Pocatello, Idaho, he organized with twelve members, and is today in a flourishing and promising condition, spiritually and financially. This is not all. On Aug. 22nd, 98, at Ogden, Utah, Rev. C. O. Smith, seeing the nee deof a closer union between churchmen, called a meeting, laid the plans and organized the Missionary Baptist Association, comprising Utah, Wyoming and Idaho, of which he, Rev. Smith, was elected Superintendent of Missions; Dr. Geo. W. Hart of Salt Lake, Moderator; Dr. A. J. Billingsley of Ogden, Utah, Vice Moderator; Rev. J. T. Muse of Cheyenne Secretary. All of this goes to show that Rev. C. O. Smith is bringing things to pass, and we of Kansas feel very proud of Rev. Smith, and wish to see to the people of the far west that when they "grow weary" of this good news, allusion and preacher, it will be best delight to welcome him again upon our gates.

At 5:30 a. m., last Saturday the house owned by Matt Laws, at 1829 E. 55th St., was entirely destroyed by fire. The house was occupied by Henry Laws, a brother of Matt. He was asleep at the time the fire broke out, and on awakening attempted to fight the same, but his efforts were futile. He then succeeded in awakening the family and getting them safely out, but all the household effects were destroyed, upon which there was no insurance. The house was burned to the ground, but was fully covered by insurance. Mrs. Belle O'Neal's Second Pupil Recital.

"NO STUFF FOR A NIGGER TO HAVE." By Floyd G. Snelson, Jr., U. S. N. R. One of the most subtle pieces of work that I have heard of lately, due to Race prejudice, I wish to relate was done last week. I am a steward on U. S. S. Winifred, having returned Jan. 1 from overseas, after seven months' duty on the U. S. S. Winifred, an oil-tank and mine sweeper. While in England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales I made a large collection of souvenirs, consisting of books, magazines and miscellaneous tokens, with which I wished to remember my many friends. While in port here in Philadelphia, members of the crew broke in my room and forced the lock on my "diddy box" and removed everything completely, and left a note which read: "This is no stuff for a nigger to have." Many on the ship had admired my collection of curio on many occasions, and often offered me all kinds and sums of money for them. The collection represented an investment of over $100 in the countries where they were purchased, and of course here in the United States they were worth two or three times more. The loss is quite a shock to me and has really spoiled my whole trip abroad. The officers of the ship took up the matter and have done very little so far to assist in the investigation. A man sits in a chair, reading a book. A child stands in front of him, holding a picture of the man. A lamp is on the table behind them.

GUESS, The city Commission has virtually assured the people of Pasadena that the Ordinance compelling everyone to wear masks will be repealed on Thursday or Friday. If the Ordinance is repealed all churches, lodges and society activities will be resumed. Notwithstanding the fact that everyone had to wear a mask, all of our churches held services on last Sunday morning, but none were held at night. A letter received from Capt. W. B. Williams from France, writine on January 15th by Mrs. W. B. Williams, stated that they were hoping MY TRIP OVERSEAS to sail soon, but did not know how soon.

I have met so many, both male and female, from all sections of the United States, and have marveled at their cordiality. Whenever a "Yank" reaches a port, he immediately looks for the American Y. M. C. A. Hut, which is generally known by everybody as the place where the "Yanks" are found. I have visited these Hutin London, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and other places, and am well pleased to find that members of our Race are cordially received and well treated at all times. The restaurants of these "Y's" are operated by volunteer workers, who are highly cultured British ladies, and they do all in their power to see that eery boy is happy, and are quick to give motherly advice to many a homeick lad. The ladies are of the highest type, many of whom are wives and daughters of the Nobility, as well as the Dukes, Lords and Sirs. Talented young ladies form concert parties every evening for the amusement of our boys. I have personally noticed that there is absolutely no prejudices or preference in regard to one of our Race. It was quite queer indeed for me to spend both Xmas and New Years on the Atlantic ocean, but the greatest pleasure was our arrival in New York Jan. 8. My duty has been performed on an oil-tank and mine-sweeper, under the immediate direction of the British Admiralty. This peculiar line of duty has enabled us to serve in more different seaports than any other American ship. Being entirely out of Uncle Sam's jurisdiction, we were forced to undergo many more hardships and perilous experiences in the hands of the British. Our last and most important duty was in connection with the internment of the German fleet at Scape Flow, Orkney Islands, a powerful naval base in the North Sea. Noember last. Soon afterwards we received our "home-ward bound" orders at Liverpool, England, where we departed on Dec. 2 with a cargo of oil for the Azore Islands. Here we found a number of torpedo destroyers, which were also homeward bound. We arrived safe after a very rough voyage atinturvals. While about 800 miles off Sandy Hook, near Bermuda, we witnessed our last real rough sea, which was something easier read about than witnessed. LEAVING SACRAMENTO. After a three week's sojourn in the State capital, after the adjournment of the Legislature, leaving the "masks" behind us, we boarded the train for San Francisco. Arriving there, we again donned the pesky mask, turned around and journeyed to Oakland, where we put it in our pocket, but commenced paying 6-cent car fares. Then we said, let us hurry in order that we may again board a train for "God's country" and made a straight bee-lide for Los Angeles. Some of These We Met. However, we are not unmindful of many of our good friends whom we hurriedly called on while in the Bay city. Our San Francisco representative, H. Shannon, we found at his post of duty keeping the Soaring Eagle to the forefront. We called at his home, 2456 Post St. where, with his amiable and pleasing wife, we spent a most enjoyable hour, when she hurriedly dished up one of the best meals we had enjoyed for many moons. We were leathers to leave, when we spotted a monster turkey which was to be the mean for the next day. But "God's country" called and we had to go. We visited the Mergenthaler Liactype plant, and from there to the office of the prince of good fellowship, the Hon. Oscar Hudson, who is one of the real genuine supporters and patrons of all movements for the upward trend of social effect. From there we visited the premier northern politician, in the manner of John Taylor, who was a prominent and wise leader and the We hurriedly visited our good friend, J. B. Moody, the Epicurian on 7th St.; Sherman Bridges, premier job printer on Webster St.; the Sunshine office, found the editor out; as usual, but the astute other half, J. M. Bridges, was on the job. We dropped in on Frank Henry's tonsorial pastor, De Luxe, caught a ferry, pulled J. C. Rivers from behind a ticket counter at the Ferry building, told him to catch Assemblyman Roberts and send him home. Oh, yes, we forgot to state that we also called on H. B. Gray, the hustling manager of the Bay Cities Investment Company, and talked things over and promised a longer visit on our return trip, at which time the organization of which he is the president proposes to give a reception in honor of Assemblyman Roberts, and at which we hope to be present. Nether shall we soon forget the hospitality shown us in the capital city by Mr. and Mrs. Slaughter, Mrs. Mills and Mr. Buchanam, the Hon. J. Soares, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Only Colored Signal Unit in American Army Shows Race Courage and Skill Under Fire—Maintaling Connection by Telegraph and Telephone as Dangerous as Work of Combatant Regiments—Croix de Guerre For 8th Illinois. By Ralph W. Tyler. With the American Army in France—La Mans, Dec. 20.—One of the units of the American Army that has made good, without having the glamour and spectacular settings of combat, is the 326th Field Signal Battalion of the 92nd Army Division, the only colored signal unit in the American Army. While this battalion has not had to occupy front line trenches, make raids for prisoners, or march, in battle formation, into big engagements, it must not be supposed that it did not have a dangerous, and a very dangerous duty, to perform. The boys of this battalion had to string the wires for telegraphic and telephone connections at times when the enemy guns were trained upon them; so, in many respects, their duty took them into situations fully as dangerous as combatant units. This battalion is composed of all young colored men, save the Lieutenant-Colonel, Major, and two or three white line officers. They are all, with few exceptions, college or high school boys—not a few of them experts in radio and electric engineering, and those who were not experts in the work when the battalion was formed, are now most proficient men. Major Spencer, now Lieutenant-Colonel, who was responsible for the formation of this unit, was firm in the belief that colored boys could make good, and he has remained with it long enough to experience his belief becoming a realization. After arriving at Brest June 19th, the battalion proceeded to Vitrey, and from 'that town began a four-day hike to Bourbonne-les Bains, a distance of more than 20 miles. From this point it proceeded, after a few days, to Voisey, and at Voisey the boys had their first taste of what was to be, later, their daily duties. Here the radio company received its quotas of the latest type of French instruments; a battery plant was established, and a full supply of telephones and wire was issued to Companies B. and C. Here, too, the Infantry Signal Platoons of the battalion joined the entitle and shared in the training The first test of real courage given the men, and their first introduction into real fighting, in addition to stringing wires and sending and receiving radio messages, came on the afternoon of September 2?th, when a party of liaison men, including the Colonel and Lieutenant Herbert, the latter being colored, advanced beyond the battalion P. C., and at the suggestion of a French soldier, turned to the left. They soon found themselves beyond their lines, and directly in front of a German machine gun nest. The Colonel divided his men into small groups and advanced on the enemy's position. This artillery resulted in the Signal boys capturing eight German prisoners and two machine guns, but the attack caused the loss of Corporal Charles B. Boykin, who did not return. Two days later during the general advance, Sergeant Henry B. Moody, of the battalion, was mortally wounded while at his post. Boykin was killed outright, while Sergeant Moody died in the hospital from wounds received—those being the first two of the Signal battalion he made the surprise question.

This was no small duty, when it is remembered that an army "sector" extends over a wide area of many square miles, including in it from 50 to 100 cities and towns. The Marbache sector was an active front, and time and time again did these boys go ahead repairing lines, establishing new communications under shell fire, with no thought of personal danger —inspired only by that ideal of the Signal Corps man—get communication through at any cost, but get it through. On the morning of Nov. 10th, when the second army launched its attack on the famous Hindenberg line before Metz, the 92nd division, with which I was during this big attack, was holding the line of Vandieres-St. Michel-Xon-Norry. During the entire engagement, which lasted from 7 o'clock the morning of the 10th to 11 a.m. of the 11th, the entire Signal Corps functioned splendidly, and as one man, keeping up communications, installing new lines, repairing those shelled out. In writing the "fnis" to this brief mention of this important army unit, made up of young colored men, it is fitting that I tell of the particular work done by the boys of the 1st platoon on the first day of the Mets battle. Shortly after the barrage was lifted, the big guns of the enemy began shelling Pont-a-Moussan. The first shells, as I vividly recall, hit on the edge of the city, and then gradually they began peppering the Signal battalion's station. Sergeant Rufus B. Atwood of the 1st platoon was seated in the cellar near the switchboard; Private Edgar White was operating the switchboard, and Private Clark the buzzerphone. Several officers and men were standing in the "dugout" cellar. Suddenly a German shell struck the top, passed through the ceiling and wall, and exploded, making havoc of the cellar. Lieut. Walker, colored, who arrived just at this time, displayed admirable courage. He took immediate charge, and directed things. Sergeant Atwood tried out of the switchboard, and found all lines broken. He found, on trying it, the buzzerphone out. Private White then received orders to stay on the switchboard, and Corporal Adolph Johnson on the buzzerphone. The 13-drop moncord board was nailed up by White, and then began the connecting up of the lines from the outside to the monocord board. All this time the shelling around this point by the Germans was fierce and deadly—shells hitting all around the boys; struck a nearby ammunition dump, causing the explosion of thousands of rounds of ammunition, which caused a terrific shock, and all lilts to be extinguished. But still these men worked on, and would not leave the dangerous place, a veritable target for the enemy's big guns, until the Lieutenant of the Military Police arrived and ordered them out. What these boys of the 233th Signal battalion have not learned respectful radio, telegraphic and telephonic work is of little advantage to any one. What they have learned about it will be of great advantage to them when they return, in making a living. The 233th Field Signal battalion, whose rank and file is made up of young colored men, has been a marvelous success. Croisi de George for Gallene Ming of Old St. Albans.
