Letters to California Eagle From Our Boys In France ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 TH Letters' to C Toul, France, Jan. 29, 1919. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass, 822 Central Ave., Los Angeles, Cal. My Dear Friends: Just a line to state that my stay in France has not yet ended. I am not to return with my regiment (369th Infantry), but will remain awhile and work with those who are to stay. While keenly disappointed, because I was ready to return, yet I am perfectly willing to give any service I can render to our boys who are now playing thier part in the period of re-construction. I can better serve them now because my experiences have been many and rich. When settled, you will hear from me often. I have many things to tell you, that was one reason I wanted to come home. Such as is possible, will come anyway. I would appreciate you sending me the Eagle to my new address—I feel lost without it. A vigorous editorial is more than strengthening to me. my work here, and you never fail me. Tender my warm regards to friends in Los Angeles. When possible, let them know my change in address. With sincere wishes for health, happiness and prosperity, I am. 804 Pioneer Infantry, A.E.T., France Conflans, France, Jan. 24, 1919. Mr. J. B. Bass, Editor Cal. Eagle, Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Bro. Bass:—Writing to you out of the land of Charlemagne, Napolean, Richilieu, and our own Dumas is, indeed, a pleasure to be coveted and longed cherished. I have long lived in anticipation of this moment, but never has the anticipation equaled the realization. I have made several efforts to write you ere now, but My duties as company clerk have practically monopolized all of my time, and this fact has always been, as Paul would say, "the thorn in my side." However, I am always o. k, and sincerely hope that yourself and Mrs. Bass keep the same, and that that much dreaded flaused you unscatched. We arrived "over here" on Oct. 21 at 4:20 p. m., and debarked at a port called Brest after a ten day's trip across, filled with many thrilling incidents, the most exciting of which was the sighting of fourteen of our merchant marines and being thrown into pandemonium until our transport recognized them. At Brest we divided our interest between saluting colored officers, chatting with colored labor battalions and watching German prisoners at work on the roads. Here, also, are the famous Poititquezen berracks that were built by Napoleon. Leaving here, we did quite a bit of moving, traveling for the most time in those lovely "Pullman cattle cars," or hiking over roads, some of them having been built by Julius Caesar. We passed through Champagne, St. Cruix, Versailles, Rennes and even the outskirts of Paris itself, and I saw enough of that world-famed city to say "Je sul Paris tres beau." At Versailles the Red Cross gave us hot coffee and a rosette of the tri-colors of France. Then we passed through villages where many of the houses are are closed forever, fathers and sons having been killed in the war. We met aged men who had lost their sons, women who had lost their husbands, young girls who had lost their sweet- (Continued on page 7) ```markdown ``` Home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

After a few business errands in that city, we wended our way over the bay, to attend the big reception which had been arranged in honor of Assemblyman Roberts and to which we had been extended a special invitation. Nearing the hour for the exercises to begin, the rain began to pour down in torrents, and it was not without fear and trepidation that we made our way to Beth Eden Baptist Church, for we could not conceive that the people would turn out in this inclement weather, but on our arrival, drenched as we were, we noted that despite the fact of the rain, a large and enthusiastic gathering was present to greet Assemblyman Roberts and his party. The program as published in the last issue was carried out, with an additional number, by Senator Anderson of Oakland, who stands sponsor for the bill prohibiting the showing of pictures which tend to create racial strife, etc. The Senator made a most excellent speech and assured his hearers of his aid in all measures Home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McC. Company. which stand for a square deal for all. President E. B. Gray, president of the Oakland Business League, in a few well chosen words told of the objects and accomplishments of that organization. Master of Ceremonies J. M. Bridges than introduced B. Bass, and designated him as the editor of the SOARING EAGLE, who spoke along general lines of effort. From the frequent applause and the tumultuous demonstration at the conclusion of our remarks, we are constrained to opine that the audience, was well pleased with what we said and how we said it. Mr. E. Marshall, the hustling business factor of Oakland and who is both forceful and eloquent, was the next speaker who had been chosen to introduce the guest of honor, and he performed this duty with rare grace and dignity. Assemblyman Roberts was the recipient of a most hearty greeting, and in an extended address reviewed his work thus far, and his hopes for future effort for the benefit of all the people, without any attempt at oratory, his address was intensely inter --- eting and appreciated by all who heard him. C. C. Coleman, the wide-awake divine and editor of the Sunshine, was on hand with bells. He is a strong speaker in the League and a live-wire for Oakland. In fact, the Sunshine combination, consisting of Bridges and Coleman, are broad-guaged and are really and truly working for the advancement of the people. The Business League made a ten-strike in staging this event, and demonstrates the fact that they have a vision for the big things and rare accomplishments of this people. The president, E. B. Gray, is on the job every minute of the time, ably assisted by a loyal band who are "Doing Things" in this billwick. Through their efforts much has been accomplished for the uplift in Oakland. Former Los Angeles Doctor Hangs Out His Shingle in Oakland. During our stay in Oakland, it happened to be the opening of Dr. R. N. Arthurton's suite of offices for business in this city. He is located at 1154½ Seventh St., and occupies the entire second story at that number, consisting of a large and commodious Coy, secured by Bookertee Investment operating room, well lighted and completely furnished with all of the latest appliances of a first-class surgeon; everything in this room emaculately white and spotlessly clean. The second room is his private consultation room, also completely furnished. Then comes the stérilizing room, especially built in. Then has general reception room, which is large and commodious, sumptuously furnished, and during our stay of three days there were always patients in waiting for consultation with the doctor. The Eagle is glad to see the doctor again located. We assure the citizens of Oakland of his competency, and he ranks high in his profession. The doctor has had the misfortune of losing his mother, aside from quite a sick spell since coming to Oakland. Having now completely recovered, he starts his work under the most promising auspices. In company with Mr. E. B. Gray, we visited M. E. Marshall's place of business on San Pablo St., and there we found one of the most complete stocks of new and second hand furniture that we ever saw conducted by ```markdown ``` a Race man. Trucks of all makes were being loaded, and all indications of a highly prosperous business. We procured a search warrant the last trip and brought C. C. Coleman, of the Sunshine, into court, which step proved to be a much needed one, and we at last held a long-delayed conference along general lines. On Sunday we worshiped at the 11 o'clock service with the 15th St. A. M. E. Church, of which our old friend from Kansas, Rev. J. M. Brown, is the pastor. At the conclusion of the sermon, Rev. Brown introduced us to the audience as his friend and acquaintance of many, many years' duration (notice number of years omitted). We responded in kind. The Reverend has accomplished wonders here, brought a Church out of debt, a new parsonage over half paid for and doubled its membership; some record. On the same evening we attended services at the A. M. E. Zion Church, of which Rev. J. R. Holmes is the pastor. The pastor was very considerate of our presence, and he, too, presented us to the audience. The people of Oakland, regardless of denomination, speak in the highest terms of the great service of Rev. Holmes, and it was, indeed, a pleasure to us to pay him and his good people a visit. After a strenuous business day on Monday, we boarded a train for the State capital and reported for duty on Tuesday, found Assemblyman Roberts at his post of duty and the law-making machinery in splendid working order. On Wednesday night the big banquet will be tendered Assemblyman Roberts by the N. A. A. C. P. The price is $1.75 per plate. At this writing reservations have been made for more than 100 plates. The people from all the nearby towns are coming, and even as far as from Oakland. Full account in our next issue. MARKETING OUR PRODUCT. Other faces boastfully display their products of commercialism and science. Whenever it is the good fortune of the American Negro to be able to add to the display, it invariably happens to be his especially bad luck that the label is lost off, so that credit due is not forthcoming. In America, the fields of science, invention, commercialism, the white man claims for himself. Of course the Japanese has a finger in the pie and gets credit for it. He is a man with a country. Also the Chinese is given a chance, but to the most American of all Races, in America, the door of opportunity is fast closed, and whatever is gained by this Race in these fields of industry is gained through the most patient filing away at the closed door, watching and working night and day. Yes, to the Black man is held up the sign "keep out" whenever he ventures into fields of commerce and science. Hold high your head; Mr. Blackman—Truth Is! Although your credit may be stolen, yet whatever knowledge you may possess is yours; that cannot be denied. Yet one thing more, and here I am proud that I can change from the third and second persons to the first, when I say, we are a Race that can hold our heads high above all others, for if we but consider we will discover that we are of noble lineage; our heritage is royal. While other races may claim the richness of earth as rightfully theirs, and at times it is hard that we should give o'er, yet I am here to proclaim ours a richness as high above other races as Heaven is above the earth: for ours are the richness of the soul. Soul richness and beauty! The most desired possession on earth. Do we appreciate this gift of the Most High (Continued on page 8) TRAVELS A Soldier From San Diego Murdered In Los Angeles Beautiful site for Sale. See K. C. Venerable, Bookertee Investment Co. AFRICAN PRINCE TELLS OF PLAN TO UPLIFT HIS RACE; THE AMERICAN NEGROES TO HELP In the opinion of Prince U. Kaba Rega, a Negro evangelist and globe trotter who is here to conduct a series of revival meetings for St. Paul's C. M. E. Church, the peacemakers at Paris should make provision to turn German West Africa over to the protection of the Allies or the United States. The object would be to drive an entering wedge for the uplift of the black people of the "dark continent," of whom there are several hundred million. Dressed up in his princely robes, the Prince might be taken for a swami from Bombay or one of these Hindu "mahatmas" who sometimes come to this country. However, there is no fake about him. He is a real Prince, the son of King Kaba Rega, ruler of a tribe of 25,000 men in British East Africa. He is therefore a British subject.

When he was a boy, an English trader won the friendship of his father, and offered to take the boy back to England and give him an education. The King agreed to this. The boy was taken to London, attended Oxford institute and later, went to Heidelberg, Germany. He traveled much in Italy and other parts of Europe with his wealthy benefactor. He became a Christian. New his ambition is to Christianize his race. A few years ago he went back to visit his father. "I was grieved," he said yesterday, "to find him and his people bowing to images and idols. I tried to show why he should not do it, but it was no use. He told me he was King and that he did not intend to take any advice from a boy, or words to that effect. I was shown that if I wished to stay there I must mind my own business. "In spite of the fact that my people are pagans and buy their wives for 20 or 30 head of cattle, they have many virtues. Immorality is almost unknown. The punishment for insulting a woman under any circumstances is severe and rigorously carried out. Physically, we are giants. You see I (Continued on page 3) New York, N. Y., Feb. 6, 1919. The World-War is over; ending the uncivilized actions of men. It is now asked, "What did the Negro scaman do?" I regret to say that the Naval Service for the past twelve years has barred our boys from an equal basis with the white man. Tho in our capacity we have rendered our most faithful service to the cause. We have been recommended by the naval authorities, from the highest to the lowest, for our efficient service during the time of our participation in the World War. When war was declared by the United States of America, there were only a mere number of our colored lads in the navy; the Government seen at once how it was handicapped in the mess branches of the service and immediately posted every State for Negro recruits. As our forefathers did regardless of discrimination, hoping to overcome this undemocratic law, we quickly volunteered until the broken ranks were filled with the best blood of the American Negro. Venerable, Bookertee Investment Co. It is to be remembered that we could have organized an army that would conquer the world, but without the navy it would all be in vain. Likewise, the American colored lad had to perform that duty which no other Race could do and do it efficiently. In the latter year of 1800 and during former President Roosevelt's term as Secretary of the Navy, quite a number of our boys enlisted as machinists, electricians, radio men, seamen barnch and mess attendants. They, with the colored seamen of today, have proven to the world that we can fight on water as well as on land. We have helped to carry troops across the sea; and now are bringing them back. The effects have been felt. In Washington today we have been told that the future position of the American Negro sailor lad is under consideration pertaining to equality in the naval service.

ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 3 ELS go Los Angeles Charley Kampling, a soldier but recently from Camp Lewis, was brutally murdered at a booming house at 814 1/2 E. 5th St. last Monday evening at 10 p. m. It is said, that while Kampling was held fast by a man a woman cut him in such fashion that there was but little hope for his recovery even though he was rushed to the Receiving Hospital where he passed out at 3:02 Tuesday morning.

"A peaceful town, far from the front, a beautiful June day, full of perfume of roses: the resplendent summer freely bursting into bloom, indifferent to human plains and frogs and agitations. Scene of the town: A boy of ten years, head like an urchin of one year, runs through the streets crying, "The Americans are coming to B____." The inhabitants are invited to greet them. "The Americans!" For months they had been discussed; they had been expected, and there was great curiosity. Groups of people go down to the public square of the town, where they see upon the white streets the first ranks of the Allied soldiers. But, what a surprise—they are blac ksoldiers! Black soldiers! There is great astonishment and a little fear. The rural population, not well informed, know well the Negro of Africa, but, that from American soil; the country of the classical type characterized by the cold, smooth white face, could come this dark troop. None could believe his own eyes. They dispute among themselves; they are a little irritated. Some of the women become afraid. One of them confide to that she feels the symptoms of an attack of indigestion. Smiling reassured the lady. "Quiet yourself, they do not eat human flesh; two or three days from now you will be perfectly used to them." I said or three days, but from that very SPECIAL NOTICE The Rev.

Again we want to thank the pastor and members of the First, A, M, EB. Church and the public in general for their liberal expressions of sympathy on last Sunday, afternoon. Bishop L. W. Kyles, presiding bish- op of the Seventh district pf the A, M. E. Zion Church, preached two excel- lent sermons to very appreciative audiences last Sabbath. The morn- ing text was, “Fret Not Thyself Re- cause of Evil Doers, Etc." and at the afternoon service he used for his text, “Therefore, as much as we have op- portunity, let us do good unto all men.” Both messages were filled with instruction and power of persua- sive eloquence. On Sunday night, March 2nd, Rev. James Jones, the railroad preacher, once a canfirmed unbeliever, but now ‘a living example of the efficacy and power of the gaspél of. Jesus Christ, will preach for us on the subject of “Our God, and How to Find Him.” It will be worth your time to hear Rev. Jones. He has just returned from a trip through the North and Northeast, ‘speaking on this subject, and many apdiences have been moved with won- derment by the message he brings. PHILIPS CHAPEL C. M.

St. Louis horror, delivered himself of the following: "It is as much the duty of statesmen to provide for the new conditions that confront the Nation in its reconstruction which must follow all great wars, as it is their duty to provide: means to carry on the war. The Government made a great mistake when it permitted the enlistment of Negroes in this great world war for democracy. Upon the return of these Negro soldiers who have been fighting under the American flag for Liberty, it will be found wellnigh impossible to keep the Negro in his former accustomed place in the civilization of this country." If this is not verbatim it is the gist of his characteristic speech. anent the Negro problem and is so republished. In view of the fact that the scheme to "keep the Negro in his place," is now in process of formation as witnessed by Captain Pyronlately returned from overseas, who charges there is all kind of discrimination towards Negro Commissioned Officers on the transports, we should appreciate the services of Major Moten in the light of a peace-maker, peace-making at any old price. SPECIAL CHICAGO, ILL., Feb. 24- Exitement ran high here Thursday, February 20th when the Board of Moving Picture Censors, acting upon an injunction gotten out by three ministers of this city, ordered, Oscar Micheaux's mammoth Photolay, "The Homesteader" stopped because one of the ministers stated that the play was an actual reproduction of his personal affairs with the writer, and that the drama acted entirely by colored people, consisting of eight reels, tended to expose his private life. The picture when stopped by agents representing the Board of Censors, was playing to a crowded house at the Eight Regiment Armory, Thirty-fifth and Forest Avenue. A wave of indignation swept the entire audience, which had witnessed two reels of the film when it was announced that the Censor Board would have to review the play the following day at the Censor Board Room, County Building. A Committee of prominent Chicagoans including Bishop Fallows, white; Col. John R. Marshall, formerly commanding Eighth Regiment; Gorge V. Ellis, Corporation Council City of Chicago; Mrs. Ida Nelson, Dental Surgeon; Oscar DePriest, ex-alderman; Major General Morris Lewis, Uniform Ranks, Odd Fellows; Mrs. Geo. Cleveland Hall; Mrs. Adah M. Waters, Amanda Smith Home for Girls; Robert S. Abbott, Editor Chicago Defender; and Atty. George H. Jackson, witnessed the reshowing of the film and following a request of the Censor Board, all agreed that there was nothing in the picture that would reflect upon the character of the minister or that of his family. Acting upon this information, the Board issued a permit, granting "The Homesteader" the right to be exhibited. Oscar Micheaux, colored writer and producer of "The Homesteader" and an author of the "The Forged Note" is said to have based his plot of the play around his own private life. His unhappy marriage to a minister's daughter, and the hybridical role they minister played in causing strife in the family, are potent factors in the drama, which was produced at a cost of $12000. The Colored American wants more than a slap on the shoulder. The nation will have to look to the Republican party for relief. As a race we should get together as soon and as quick as possible, there are all signs that there are troubles ahead. It looks as though some of our friends would have us believe that the late world's war for democracy was a anybody's war and the whiteman's peace. President Wilson with the League of Nations has plenty of trouble ahead of him. It is doubtful if the U.S. Senate will give a two-thirds vote necessary for the approval of the League. In the meantime, Senator Borah, Cummins, Fall and a number of democratic Senators are already up in arms defying the president. The Afro-American who can carry the Negro vote is preparing to don his war paint and incidentally graft the candidate. Mrs. G. E. Offut, City Historian of the War Activities of the Colored Race in California, now that there is an abatement of our recent flu troubles, states she is prepared to start history work in the next week. And as her plans are to make a house to house canvass, Mrs. Offutt is asking for volunteers as she wishes to place the race in the war History of California right. You can address the City Historian at her home, 1626 W. 35th Place, or phone her, West 6661. Remember this history is the work of the California War History Committee and race pride should make us freely respond to the call for assistance. PERHAPS A PARADOX Two weeks prior to the resumption of the Forty-Third California Legislature, our beloved townsman, Governor William D. Stephens by his presence distinguished Los Angeles as the state capital. During his short stay here, always too short, he transacted important business of the state which kept him a very busy man druing his entire stay and, the Governor is to be congratulated on having a confidential clerk and stenographer, Mrs. Virginia B. Albright, who knows how to treat visitors at the Executive Offices with dispatch and an unfailing courtesy. This should be very helpful to the Governor who comes to the sub Capital on business of State and not for the mere purpose of interviews and entertainments as one of his numerous visitors appear to think. Being Governor of a forefront State like California is a big job and requires nearly undivided attention at the hands of a genuine big man, and that is what kind of a man William D. Stephnes is proving himself to be, a man for whom the big job is not too big, and Mrs. Albright 'is the right man in the right place.' THE DARK-WINGED ANGEL GEL OF PEACE.

At 3:30 p. m. the Church auditorium was turned over to Rev. McCorkle and the membership of First A. M. E. Church for divine services. The distinguished Rt. Rev. L. W.

Sunday was our grand opening day and all the services were well and splendidly attended. Having a fine Sunday School and and an inspiring 11 o'clock service. The evening service opened at 7:30 p. m. Dr. Byron H. Wilson, superintendent of the District of Los Angeles, presiding. Program follows: Anthem, Wesley Choir; prayer, District Missionary; hymn, "Lead on, O Kink Eternal"; anthem, Wesley Choir; Scripture Lesson, Dr. A. P. Shaw; announcements, Rev. M. V. Cole and Rev. Dr. Shaw; solo, Bro. A. G. Malolo; jubilee selection, Wesley Choir; sermon, Bishop A. W. Leonard; collection, Bishop A. W. Leonard; invitation, Bishop A. W. Leonard; benediction, Bishop A. W. Leonard. Dr. Shaw was introduced by Dr. Wilson. Dr. Shaw spoke on the magnificent gift of the white M. E. Church to the colored people through the untiring efforts of Dr. Wilson. It is impossible to find language to express our gratitude to Dr. Wilson not only in this gift, but in his constant efforts to help the colored people. We had the extreme pleasure of having Bishop A. W. Leonard of the M. E. Conference with us, and he preached a soul stirring sermon from the 15th chapter of St. Mark, 14th verse. His theme was, "The Weakness of Pilate." Text, "Why, What Evil Has He Doe." The speaker pointed out how easy it would have been for Pilate to have declared Jesus innocent, but willing to please the people, he evaded his responsibilities. So Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them and delivered Jesus to them when he had scourged Him to be crucified. The collection was lifted by the Bishop. Cash collections and subscriptions amounted to over $300. Mason Chapel members responded lovingly with subscriptions. The Bishop extended an invitation for members and welcomed in all new members.

"Preparedness" is in order, and we of "advanced age" should encourage these young "aspirants"—er it is, r, just possible that some bold, brave 1st or 2nd lieutenant "way down East" may bombard and capture a certain "tennis queen" this summer, and then we'll be without a crown-holder—(??). We have in our city a very talented visitor in the person of Mrs. Wm. Talbert of Seattle, Wash., who is a member of the Alpha Tennis Club of Seattle and has figured in several tournaments there. Her husband, a mail clerk of that city, won the tennis championship in 1917. Her playing ability, as well as a charming personality, can be referred to those who have opposed her at the Alpha courts. In the next issue will appear the standing to date of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs tennis-players-to-New-York" popular subscription drive. Joseph L. Oliver went down to defeat last Sunday in the semi-finals of the Federation's tournament before the quiet and unassuming Rosco Broyles. Score: 6-0, 6-2.

Dear Editor: Immediately following the armisis granted the Central Powers, November 11, 1918, a number of citizens met at the Young Men's Christian Association and created a general reception committee to welcmoe and entertain our men returning from European Battle Fields; that organization remains intact, but on account of the Flu and uncertain date of arrival of our soldiers decided to await development. The plan of the citizens committee was and is to give a reception to all the men without regard to rank or station, to see to it that the lowest private in the rear rank who did his duty should receive due recognition for honest and faithful services rendered the world democracy, for the man behind the gun, is the man who won victory for the cause to which we have contributed our money and for which we have made many other sacrifices. In this movement every church, society, frternal order and all women clubs are not only invited to join in but every public patriotic citizen of this great metropolitan city is invited to take a hand and see to it that not a single soldier shall go neglected. Your committee is desirable of the attendance of all the people at the meeting to be held at the Ninth Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, at 9th and Hemlock Sts., on Wednesday night. March 5, 1919, where arrangements are to be made looking to the consumption of plans to do our plain duty by our soldiers who suffered and endured all kinds of privations on the fields of battle in a foreign land, certainly every citizen and every organization will join in this one worthyause, for certainly we owe these men great honor and we cannot afford to not render honor to them. They will return to us broken in health and in some cases to find loved ones departed to the world beyond and without situations and we should not neglect them.

There isn't anybody anywhere but will sleep better in a Simmons Metal Bed and Slumber King Spring. The Simmons Metal Bed is noiseless. It locks firmly to the corner locks of pressed steel—have much longer bearing surfaces than the average—fit true and sturge—not a creak, rattle, or feeling of unsteadiness. It is perfectly rigid—feels and moves like a solid piece. The Simmons Pressed Steel Corner Locks are protected by basic patents. They are the most fundamental inventions of modern bed manufacturing—the Simmons, not to be duplicated or imitated. And these patented corner locks have made possible the Three-piece Bed—the new Simmons idea—the spring forming a single unit with the rale rails. If you want the most relaxing and constructive sleep anyone can get, you'll find it in a Slumber King Bed. Everywhere people of refinement are learning that there's nothing like a separate bed for presenting perfect rest and good health. Do you doubt you're tired of trying to get the right kind of sleep in a bed made merely for looks. You'd be glad to get a good metal bed. The Simmons Bed comes in brass, and in aluminum without brass trimming. Also beautiful and with good effects. We have them in stock now, and you to see and judge their merits for yourself.

RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM The Ninth Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association entered upon its reconstruction program Wednesday Evening, February 26th. A large and representative group of men were present and the enthusiasm ran high. These men realize that if the new program, city wide in its purposes, is to be effectively worked, the constituency must be materially enlarged so that every community be it ever so small may feel its touch and influence. To this end the yhave organized the men into teams and the city into districts. There are ten men to the team; five districts with two teams to each district. Each team has a captain to whom the team mates will be responsible and the captains in turn responsible to the manager of the Reconstruction program. But each and every team member will have the privilege after his own district is worked of soliciting men and boys anywhere in the city. The big membership is $3.00 for boys from 9 to 15 and men $5.00 from 16 up. All service men and school fellows are given half rates or $2.50 for one year. The Great Contest. The Contest is to be an automobile race from Los Angeles to San Francisco, a distance of 500 miles. The teams will have the names of well-known automobiles. A large chart placed in the Y. M. C. A. lobby will show the progress of each machine toward its goal, as also will the daily papers. Each car starts with 200 points or miles to its credit. Each member secured represents a distance of three miles, thus requiring a hundred members to put the car into San Francisco. With ten men to each team the manager believes that there is no reason why every car should not reach the goal. This would only be an average of 10 new recruits to the team mate. The team securing the highest number of members will be banqueted at the close, all taking a part in the reception. The individual worker securing the largest number of recruits will be given a year's membership and a Y. M. C. A. pin of the rarest type. Following is the group of workers: Manager, S. P. Johnson; Captains: M. G. Stokes; Dr. G. D. Taylor; Felix Floyd; H. A. Reqes; John R. Scott; Lawrence Green; Wm. Edmonds; Byran H. Johnson; S. S. Taft; and Mrs. H. W. Markham. Mr. E. H.

The next day we see the little children in the arms of the huge colored soldiers confidently pressing their rosy cheeks to the cheeks of ebony, with their mothers looking on in approbation. A deep sympathy is treated for these men, which yesterday was not even surmised. Very quickly it is seen that they have nothing of the savage in them, but that on the other hand one could find a soldier more faultless in his bearing, and his manner more affable, or more delicate, than these children of the sun whose ancestors dreamed under the wonderful nights along the murmuring streams. We admire their forms, handsome, vigorous and athletic. Their intelligent and loyal faces, with their large gleaming eyes, at times dreary and with a bit of madness in them. Far removed is the time when their insuspicious influence was felt upon the digestive organs o the lady. Now one honors himself to have them at his table. He spends hours in long talks with them, with a great supply of dictionaries and manuals of conversation. The white mothers weep to see the photographs of the black mothers and display portraits of their soldier sons. The fiancee of our polite become interested in the flincee across the sea, in their dress, in their head-dress and in everything which makes women resemble women in every clime. Late at night the workers of the fields forget their fatigue as they hear arie through the peaceful night, the melancholy voices which call up to the memory of the exile his distant country. In the lanes along flowery hedges, more than one blonde head is seen moving thoughtfully beside a curly head, while the setting sun makes blue the neighboring hills and gently the song is awakened.. And then the soldiers who had become friends depart. One evening sad adieus are exchanged. Adieu! How we wish they may be only an auvoir. Promise to return when furloughs are granted, to correspond here and there, tears fall, and the next day when the heavy trucks roll off in the chilly morning, carrying to the front our exotic guest, a veritable sadness seizes us, and when we departed this is what they said: "Soldiers, friends, our hearts, our wishes are with you. May destiny be merciful to you, that the bullets of the enemy might spare you. And if any of you should never see your native home again, may the soil of France give you sweet repose. "Soldiers, who arrived among us one clear June day, redolent with the scent of roses, you will always live in our hearts." LETTERS FROM FRANCE (Continued from page 1) (Continued from page 1) hearts. All the joy for these people seemed to have been burned away by war's fires, yet underneath the surface one could see that valor remained, the one and only thing saved out of the wreck. But since the signing of the armistice, and no what the scorpion of the human race has been abased, out of fullness of their very souls do these people rejoice. Most of the once evacuated villages are now being rapidly refilled with returning refugees, all of them carrying their entire worldly possessions in their hands. So you can see, Mr. Bass, I cannot judge what France used to be, I can only touch her desolate soul which I came to help restore. When the halt in the world's greatest tragedy was called at 11 a.m. on November 11, we were on our way to the trenches, and now, after being denied the chance of firing a shot in the defence of humanity, I sometimes feel as though I have done nothing, and open once here have written to me plea out my high blood upon the alter of righteousness and persecution to cleanse up the world of one man's iniquity: On that historic day, when the clock spoke in general of eternity, and specifically at 11, I, for one, knew that this hour was predestined by the Providence of Him who rules the destinies of men, and not the least, through the furrow prayers of those at home. I, too, acquiesce with the saying that the best soldiers remain at home. And let me say just here, Mr. Bass, that our colored soldiers have more than distinguished themselves in battle, and the name of our glorious 9th Division will always live in the fraits of victory, and in the gratitude and admiration of all succeeding generations. On November 12-13 we camped in Aragonine Woods, the sector in which they made their famous offensive. November 14 we passed through Arret, meeting long lines of Red Cross trams, British tanks, long range guns, heavy artillery, and regiments of French and American soldiers just out of the trenches that morning. November 1* at 8:10 a. m. I passed through historic, shell-torn Verdun, and I experienced a galvanic shock at the havoc that German bambardement had wrought. I wish with all the emphasis at my commau that you could have seen this feudal city. Barbed wire entanglements still stand in front of famous trenches, silent reminders of death and horror. Chattaux are much in evidence, but somewhat small, yet they spell artificiness in capital letters. Some of the grounds still show traces of once beautiful Italian gardens. France still meauses up to Charlemagnic assertion, "the fair fields of France," and despite the inferno through which she has passed, is yet beautiful even in her desolation. "Vivi. viva la France." Madamostelle, Oin, beau coupe. The army is the melting pot of all elements, temperaments and types, and one has to be constantly adjusting their mood to meet the shifting conditions. Here are the ignorant and underbred, over against the intellectual and cultured, and we, as a race, are hoping that out of the amalgamation of the two, the first named caste will arise to better things. That, to my mind, is the manly stroke. We arrivedin this town where we are stationed at present on Thanksgiving morning, and have been here longer than any one place since being in the army. Several of the boys from the medical detachment are attached to us, and we find quite a lot of diversion in whist tournaments, "hob-nail balls" and formal dinners. Our mess sergeant, Robert C. Burns of San Diego, gave one of these "feeds," and among his guests were Sergts. Murray, Carter, Calhoun, Donogan, Clisby, Dalley, Bast, Corps. Baker, Ramsay, Mitchell, McFarland, Noble, Lewis, Allen, Pots, McClendon, Hunt, Hurd and myself. Mostly California boys, as you can see. There is a Y. M. C. A. here, and every Sunday and Wednesday nights we have a band concert. The last time I attended a concert, my French friend, Lieut. Andre de Mortet, found so much to talk about just when I wanted to listen to "Hiwalian Butterfly." But he is a splendid chap, and I almost envy him his striking personality and wealth of good looks, and I might add his elegant seal skin overcoat. Then the piano at the "Y" serves to break the monotony somewhat, and helps greatly to tide us through the winter of our hardest fight—the waiting to return. To show you how much rain we have, I will just say that at Brest it rains 330 days out of the 365 in the year. We have emerged into the coldest months now, and snow has ceased to be a novelty. But I always try to remember that Napoleon said, "In war, the morale is to the physical, as three to one." Xmas day we were given cigarettes, candy tobacco and cakes by the Red Cross. It had snowed the night before, so you can see we had a real Xmas even over here.

He leaves a wife, step-daughter, two or three sisters and nephews and nieces and a number of friends to mourn his loss. The funeral arrangements had not been made at this writing. A very sad incident was the temporary losing of the mind of Mr. Fred S. Overr, who was taken to the psychopathic ward of the County hospital, where he has been under observation for the past few days, and is reported to be doing nicely so far, and they hope to return him to his home in a few days. Our sister, I. H. Ford, was unanimously endorsed as an evangelist by the executive board and the Woman's Missionary Convention of the Western Baptist Association at their quarterly meeting which was held at the Second Baptist Church on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. May the Lord bless Sister Ford. Mr. and Mrs. Brown of Topeka, Kas., who spent a week touring in Southern California, were guests at dinner with Capt. and Wm. Reynolds Sunday, Feb. 23. San - - Bernardino CECIL PHILLIPS announces himself as a candidate for the office of MAYOR Subject to the decision of the voters of San Bernardino at the Primary Election, Tuesday, March 18, 1919. Mrs. S. T. Rowan is home again, after an extended visit at Santa Monica. W. M. Hamilton is able to go without a crutch now. He slipped and fell while on duty at the Orange Show. Mr. and Mrs. Blaine Venerable of Kansas City, Mo., are recent arrivals in the gate city, where they expect to make their home with their brother, J. R. Venerable. J. H. Mendenhall has been confined to his home for the past week and does not seem to improve much. Mrs. C. M. Carlton is spending the week in Los Angeles, the guest of her daughters. Mrs. Pullom, the mother of W. W. Jones, on Sixth St., is very sick. Jerry Smith had a slight but painful accident at the shops the other day, when he was cut over the eye. Lois Margaret, baby daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Fred A. Hughes, will be at home (in the parsonage) to friends after March 5th. We note that the casualty list shows that Elmer Whiteside of Redlands made the supreme sacrifice in action in France. He was the brother of Mrs. Geo. Franklin of 1037. Seventh St., this city. Next Sunday, March 9th, is the third quarterly meeting day and we are looking forward to real old-time spiritual feast. The coming of Presiding Elder Wilson always has a tendency to revive us. The class leaders have their envelopes out and are doing what they can to give us success. The Communion will be at the afternoon service, at which time Rev. Lacey of Redlands will preach for us. We have again started to work on our assessment, and the worker has been laid and connected up, that being the big job. We will soon have our concrete floor laid, which gives us a modern structure throughout. The Sunday School, under the direction of J. E. Muckelroy, superintendent, is doing the work. To the Editor of California Eagle: The Hippo and the Cootie again. "When our bugles blow sick call," "Brick," slied his lunga with foggy air caught and rubbed his lips very hard, gives his little horn a couple of tries, then steps out in front of the barracks. Sick pall, the most meditative and philosophical of summons, broke forth announcing that the Doctor, "James Carter," of Riverside was waiting. The Corporal, 'Edmund B. Hassay,' in charge of the book, pails for the Well, the boys are back from France, and the 365th and 367th are back in the United States. The 365th complete got to New York last Sunday morning and a telegram from Dr. L. Stovall informed his brother, Charles Stovall, that they were on their way to Camp Grant. The brigade headquarters of the 184th Infantry also landed in New York on Wednesday morning, and the dispatches from there to the Pasadena Star-News stated that Sergt. Wm. H. Miller, accompanied Brig. Gen. in Command of the 148th Brigade. Sergt. Miller is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Miller of South Fair Oaks Avenue. Splendid services at the Friendship Baptist Church all day last Sunday. A sermon by the pastor in the morning on "Jonah" was food for serious thought for the large congregation which turned out to hear him. In the evening, the missionary, Rev. R. H. Wade, preached a wonderful sermon, and raised a neat sum of money for missions, which was reported at the board meeting on Tuesday. Bro. Ralph Troy, the superintendent of the Sunday School, is reported quite sick this week. sick lame and lazy to fall out in front of the galley. Then he takes his book and hands it to the Doc, who glances over it, grins, hands it back and lights a fresh cigarette, while the Corporal copies the names of his sick and marks them all under the "In line of Duty entry." Yes!, "First man," called the Doctor. "Gilmore Richard, K," read the Corporal. "What's your trouble," asked the Doctor. Gilmore Richard, K, preferred to explain by action. If you don't show an army doctor, he thinks you're stalling. So he dropped his breeches to the floor. "Boils, look at 'em. Gotta have the big one opened I think." He looked up honestly into the doctor's countenance, and was immediately frozen with embarrassment. The doctor was in the act of tipping his hat, his gaze turned over Gilmore Richard K's shoulder, and a polite smile wreathed his face. Gilmore Richard K's breeches went up with the speed of an escaped window blind in an old maid's bath room. A burst of laughter from the bunch around tol dhim that there was no lady present. He had been hoaxed. The doctor aported, "You're the guy that was hot footing it up and down in front of the station yesterday when you were supposed to have been in your quarters." "Ah, have a heart," begged Gilmore Richard K. He was furnished a chair and his boils properly cared for. "Sergt. Bost Percy!" called the Corporal. Bost had quite an alarming set of symptoms. It was like an alamnac describing pall pains for pinkish people, and gall stones, eye strain, the acute pain of appendicitis (on the right side), an ingrowing nail on the great toe, a bad cold and a desire to be re-classified. "Caster oil," ordered the doctor, and the waiting Corporal dipped heavily in the purplish ink. (unaware of the winking eyes between the doc and Bost' Percy) wrot "Quarters" in bold script. The party of the the alarming symptoms took his dose manfully, and walked away with firm tread. "Seagt. Calhoun LeRoy!" "Sick?" questioned the dotor. "N-o-o. I'm onl yafter 'acouple of C. C.'s, for the Fresno blues that's all." "Honest man," quoth the medico. It's a great life if you don't weaken buddy. "Give him two for his very own, and six more for any friend he may have." "Sergt. Burns Robert, C!" "This must be noncom's day," said the doctor dryly. "By the way, you're the Mess Sergt, and the fellow I've been treating for the itch the last few days. How do you feel this morning? "Rotten doc, rotten. I haven't been able to eat anything for the last few days. "L. A. blues," pipes the Cootie, a personal friend of the sergt. "Let's try five per cent sulphur platinum," suggested the doc. "If you use it stronger you may get a sulphur dermatitis and keep on scratching the dermatitis. Mark this man 'duty.' Corporal." The chemise dropped, was tucked in, and Burns Robert, C., departed with a fresh can of ointment. Several of the other fellows had bad colds. John D. Floyd had a case of burns with infections. Jake Early, George, Addair, John Garlington and Tom Brown had rigged things up in order to make a try for quarters quarter. The doctor sighed, lit a fresh cig- GAL. 18 arette and began packing the bottles and bandages in neat array, while the Corporal incharge of the sick book beat a hasty retreat. Sik call was over. A. E. F., France. Bush, my tallor, fashionable ladies' and gent's tailor, 9th and Hemlock. The following is a letter from Brigade Commander, Brigadier General Malvern Hill Barnum, upon relief from command of the 183rd Brigade: A. P. O. 714, France, Dec. 22, 1918. From Malvern Hill Barnum, Brigadier General, U. S. A. To the Officers and Men of the, 183rd Brigade. Subject: Relief from Command. The Order detaching me from command of the 183rd Brigade was so unexpected and, coming, as it did, just as the Brigade was moving, made it impossible for me to give expression to my regiment at having to sever an association of over a year, and one that will be one of the most pleasant recollections of my army career. Having organized and trained the 193rd Brigade and commanded it through its active service in the present war, I can speak for the willing compliance to all requirements that made the work very enjoyable. When men, work with their hearts, as well as with their heads and hands, the best results are certain to follow. I feel that the officers and enlisted men of the Brigade may justly be proud of the record made, and I believe that history will accord them no little credit. / I trust that each man will do his utmost to insure to the Brigade the finest record possible during the remainder of its period of service. Finally, in returning to their homes, I trust that each one will take with him a high sense of responsibility as an American citizen and a keen desire to perform faithfully whatever duties fall to him in the future. With such a heritage from his army service each one will not only have helped in the war and thus rendered a rgeat service to humanity, but will, himself have become the gainer through the remaining years of his life.

It is the opposition that was once that of the chosen people, but which was lost through their disobedience and lust after the world's glarin gharid metallic richness. The chosen of the earth lost the richness that we now possess, and ceased to be the chosen ones. The Master Teacher of all times said that Solomon as he represents the fullness of world richness, did not compare in beauty and glory or raiment with the simple lily of the field. Another writer has said that the beauty of the lily did not compare with the beauty of the soul. "Pashah," do you say? "What good does all that you do?" "You cannot eat that; it will not pay your doctor bill or gas bill or electric light bill." Quite right about that you are, although you need not be so roughly ready to despair. I said that ours was a Race possessing richness of soul; perhaps the expression I snot clear. The soul, we usually think of in the abstract; our conception of that "organism" is very vague. We give up at the beginning when a definition is demanded. The soul, whatever it is, is a something to be dealt with in the future. To be fixed up for the dieing process. Yes, with most of us, the soul is a thing to come into its own when body and mind are played out. It is a most false conception, of course. It is the idea that the white man's civilization has engendered and endangered us with. It is a poison that will eat out our lives, we do not rid ourselves of it—this false idea of THE CAFE Metropolitan Hair Store and Costuming Establishment The only race establishment on the Pacific Coast where you may be fitted up in anything made from HAIR and secure the most fastidious costume for Masquerade Balls, Tacky Parties, or Colonial Dances. the soul and its purpose in our life, or rather as we think, in the end of our life. Since our hope as a Race is the hope of our vast soul resources, is it not high time that we stopped to analyze the situation that we might know what we are, where we are, and how we stand? It would be a shock to the white man to read of hi scivilization in the past tense. I mean this as no smart back-biting, but simply looking facts in the face, that is the result. The white man's civilization with whatever virtues or vices it may or might have possessed, has reached its zenith: essentially so that the way might be cleared for the rising sun of that civilization that is to eclipse all other efforts of mankind images past and present. It is the civilization that is to be built upon the achievement, and yet "achievement" does not seem to be the proper word; rathe rshould I say that it is the civilization that will bring the value of the soul into her own. Civilization in ages past won its merits on the physical man. Read only history to confirm the statement that in those days "might was right." But another day of civilization began to dawn: out of the caves into houses, raw products of the field were exchanged in food diet for a cooked mixture. Man began to think. The mind was discovered as a reality, a small part of the body that was more powerful than all the rest combined. For centuries since the phrase "mind over matter" has held the day. The body and mind are wonderful things, but they do not constitute the whole of man. Man is often defined as body, mind and spirit; another name for the spirit is the soul. Now all of the white man's civilization has been built on the merit of the body and mind; it is the inevitable that the new civilization is when the soul or spirit of man is become into its own, has been rolled into existence by the hand of the Almighty, and who can stay it? How the Black Man Is, to Be the Why the Black Man Is to Be the Builder of the Greatest Bra In Man's History. For the simple reason that the soul of the black man, purged through suffering and humiliation on every hand, has by the very prejudices of all the other races been preserved from the taint of worldliness. The dealings of commerce, mysteries of science and magic of invention, has not had the chance to rob his soul of the great depth of love and sympathy that he, of all races, is most known to possess. Rather the bending to the rod of masters, the fact that he has from time immemorial been hewers of wood and drawers of water; this has only added to his love and sympathy, loyalty and submissiveness. It is not a case of God being partial, for he is not that to any people; it is merely a case of fitness for service. It is because the soul of the black man is most in tune with the Creator's that his shall be the task of building the greater civilization. Value of the Three Units of Man. In the day of physical supremacy, the man possessing greatest strength GA LFIRTEEN of body was the lord of his age. Weaker men wre his subjects. At his command was the best of the land. The age of mental supremacy took away his power; in other words, dethroned him. Physical serenity lost its great margi nvalue in the face of the mental supremacy; for the mind said that iron and steel was stronger than man. From his physical strength man has and may gain a livelihood. His mentality is yielding of luxuries, while his spirituality is creative of the richest and best in life. Our Products Named.

That common expression of the American Negro, the most prized in the artistic world, namely: singing, has a value realistic. Other arts there are that see mytery natural to the Negro, that other races spend the fortune of their mental achievement to attain, and then fall far short of the desired glory simply because the soul quality or spirituality is not there. We have that quality as a birthright. Are we using our possession to an advantage? In other words, are we marketing our products? That quality as a people "born to sing," have we in our community made any provision to market this great product, a products that others, possessing not, would give of their gold and silver, results of physical and mental labor, to attain.

Instruction along this line, holding up as an example what other members of the Race have done, would do more to help the black race than preaching abstract religion.
