Mr. C. E. Johnson, a member of the Republican County Central Committee was elected as President; Mrs. S. Wortz, Secretary; J. R. Manning, Campaign Manager. Cognizance was also taken of the fact that Mr. Snyder has been endorsed by many of our leading ministers, among whom are, Rev. J. C. Anderson; Father W. T. Cleghorn; Rev. E. E. Lightner; Rev. F. C.

Pico St. PERSONAL LETTER FROM AN OLD-TIMER ENDORSING SNYDER FOR MAYOR. May 1, 1919. I owe my first position in California to Meridith P. Snyder, nineteen years ago. Like many others, I came to the Coast for my health and was without friends or money. Mr. Snyder was Mayor at that time and found for me my first position. He has done the same thing for many others to my personal knowledge. For fifteen years I have been employed by him and know him, perhaps, as well as any other Colored man in the city. And I also know the good that he has done for the Colored people. When he was mayor, he made places for the black man which he had never occupied before. He pu them in the Fire Department and he placed them in the Police Department and also in the Departments of Parks and Public Works. SINCE MR. SNYDER LEFT OFFICE, THE NECHU HAS NOT ADVANCED A SINGLE STEP. A clique of misguidin' negroes has, for some reason unknown to me, printed a card saying that Mr. Snyder is a Southerner and a Democrat. If that is all they have against him, they should close up; for we have long passed that stage when we believe that every Republican is a friend and every Democrat, a foe. We know of many good men who are Democrats and many rascals who are Republicans. "BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM." Two years ago they voted for Woodwan because he was a Republian and came from New England; but none of them are votig for him today. Negroes are no longer children and will not be mislead by the label Republican and Democrat. They will open the bottle and examine the contents for themselves. IN MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS THERE ARE NO PARTY LINES, BUT EVERY MAN MUST STAND UPON HIS RECORD. Yours very sincerely. JESSE LEWIS. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT JAMES P. BRITT WILL BE A SURE WINNER. The race for City Council develops the fact that James P. Britt whom in our previous issues we have recommended is indeed a formidable candidate and trim all sources in receiving a heraty suport. We cannot too strongly present his cause because we know that with him in the Council all of the people will at all times receive a fair and square deal. On all questions which are before the people Britt has the proper conception and will truly represent them. We are urging the Eagles readers to nit only vote but work for the nomination and election of JAMES P. BRITT. THE LEADING RACE JO IN SURDAY MAY 3, 19 Women The have from is Of- unday CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY E The Management of The Eagle will be pleased to have all Returned Soldiers from Overseas to report at this Office, 822 Central Ave., Sunday afternoon at 1:30 p. m., for the purpose of having a group photo taken, to be used in our Historical "Soldiers Number," which will be issued in the near future. And we ask, if possible, for the Soldiers to report in Uniform. On the following Sunday we will take the picture of the Soldiers who enlisted and who did not see Overseas service. Eagle Correspondents are requested to arrange for and have group pictures taken of all Returned Soldiers; the same will be used in our forthcoming "Historical Numbers." REV. C. P. JONES HOMEWARE BOUND. After stirring the East, the great Evangelist turns his attention homeward to his own Flock. For the past four months Rev. C. P. Jones has been in the East. News reaches us through the various Eastern papers that mighty has been the stir the great Evangelist has created in the religious life of the people. The red-hot gospel he has applied to the ice-walls in which many souls are encased and the general result has been the breaking loose of the spirit and a great time in Zion. The New Jersey Observer in their issue of February 15th heralds him as a great scholar and master—"He possesses a delivery which is unique, his mastery of the English language has been attained by few of his race. His simplicity, his countenance, his earnestness of purpose will indeed make for him many friends in these parts." The fact that Rev. C. P. Jones will be here on the Second Sunday in May will cause the heart of many admirers and followers of his to beat in glad rythma. He has a message for all his impressions of existing conditions in the East, as well as new inspiration to preach more forcibly the gospel, will take large crowds out to the Hall, Cerner Washington and Central Aven. ```markdown ``` EAGLE NOTICE RETURNED SOLDIERS.

WELCOME HOME TO THE SOLDIER BOYS GIVEN BY THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE A WONDERFUL SUCCESS The monster welcome planned months ago by the Citizens Committee was given by this organization at Patriotic Hall on last Wednesday night when that spacious edifice was filled to its utmost with eager and appreciative citizens who came out and gave a hearty and royal welcome to our heroes who have but recently returned from the war zone and training camps to their homes and their loved ones. Promptly at 9 o'clock the exercises were opened by Mrs. M. Cunningham White as Chairman, who presented Rev. N. P. Greggs, who offered the invocation, after which Mrs. White in a few well-clebrated and appropriate remarks introduced the Chairman of the Committee, J. H. Shackelford, as the Master of Ceremonies. Mr. Shackelford filled this position with high credit and after a few words of introduction, in a pleasing manner indeed presented the various numbers in the program. The program itself was largely given over to reminiscences of the soldiers on the battlefields and in camp. Miss McMullin favored the gathering with a piano solo. Lieut. Journee White was next introduced and vividly told of the deeds of the boys and the wonders accomplished for which they have never been given credit. His brief talk was full of gripping interest, and at the conclusion of his remarks he was greeted with thunderous applause. Lieut. Chas. Hightower of the Field Artillery was next introduced and his version of the great battles which the 92nd Division took part in was a scream, prim full of wit and humor in his own quaint way he kept the audience at a high pitch and at the conclusion of his address deafening applause was freely given. Mr. Eldridge Lee who saw service in the base hospital unit recounted in an interesting manner his experiences in Uncle Sam's battles shops and was well received. Miss L. Simpson favored with a wonderful Vocal Solo. After this the soldiers and hosts 114 at a time, repaired to the dining hall and partook of the splendid banquet which had been prepared by the Citizens Committee. Enough soldiers remained in the hall to entertain the waiting crowd while the others dined; Mr. Bert McDonald and others entertained the waiting crowd. The Spikes Hagerman Jazz Band furnished the music for the occasion, and it was indeed the class; their playing was a revelation to the people present. Mr. Spikes and his wonderful playing on the Saxaphone, Chimes and Xylophone took the crowd by storm, while Mra. Hagerman as a Solistor was enclosed time and again. Mrs. Alma Hightower, Drum and Traps, was a feature, in fact every member of the Orchestra was a star. The personnel of the band is J. C. Spikes, manager; W. O. Hagerman, Piano; Mr. O'Neal, Saxaphone and Cornet; Mr. Green, Clarinet; Mrs. A. Hightower, Drums; Mrs. Hagerman, Solist. The Committee having in charge this a air are entitled to great credit for the manner in which they car- --- IN THE WEST ried out this event and the people likewise for their wonderful support. Mr. J. H. Shackelford was Chairman and Capt. F. H. Crumbly, Secretary. HARRIST TUBMAN RED CROSS ENTERTAINS SOLDIERS ENTERTAINERS SOLDIERS Thursday evening, April 24th, the Harriet Tubman Red Cross Auxiliary entertained at Patriotic Hall in honor of the Soldiers who did service overseas. About 60 Soldiers were present and about 100 guests. In tasteful arrangement the affair has not been outclassed this season. The program consisted of community singing by the body. Solo by Mrs. E. Smith; Piano by John Gray; Short addresses by Mesdames Warner and Bass. Response by Lieut. Matthews, after which Soldiers and guests repaired to the banquet hall, where a feast fit for potentates was served. And the Harriet Tubman clinched her record as being on top—First and all the time—and too much praise can't be accorded Mrs. Warner and her assistanta. MONSTER CAMP MEETING The Fifth Annual Convocation of the Sanits Home Church will begin Sunday morning at 4 a.m. in the big tent at 16th and Compton Ave. The past four meetings proved valuable in every way to the community and this, the Fifth, is expected to surpass all others.

WOMEN OF ZION AWAKE! The world is calling to you! There is a greater need today than ever before. Every woman member of the Second Baptist Church is hereby called in a monster mass meeting to be held at the Church Sunday afternoon, May 4th, at 3 o'clock. Several ladies of the Second Baptist Church met at the home of Mrs. Bass on Tuesday evening, discussed the urgent need of greater activity among the women of their church. On Sunday afternoon they have arranged to have an excellent program and heart-to-heart talk among themselves. Following is the program: Opening Song. Mrs. Jennie Williams, "How Sweet is His Love;" Paper. Mrs. Bronson, "Unity in Church Life;" Paper. Mrs. Bass, "Five Years of Active Church Work;" Round Table Talk by the Women; Solo, Mrs. M. L. Williams. MRS. KENDALL, Chairman of Mass Meeting BEST-HEARTED LADY IN LOS ANGELES—ELIZA ALLEN—110 YEARS OLD DISCOVERED. Prince's Manager finds the noblest patriotic ex-slave jady in all his vast experience. Prince will never spend the dollar bill the grand old lady gave his Manager but will keep and frame it, call on the noble soul in person, bless and be blessed by her and in his greatest success the Prince will not forget the memory of this splendid woman, living or dead. Slightly bent over, still able to hold her humble, but so venerable body up, with a merry, truthful, inspiring twinkle in her eye, connecting in her very person old slave America with young America, having been born in slavery 116 years ago and living through it all, and now, defining even old fother time for, we trust, many years yet, the most remarkable and, we believe the best colored woman—fine, old lady that she is—in Los Angeles has been discovered by the Manager of the African Prince. She bears the modest name of IEliza Allen and lives at 1204 Compton Ave., this city. There is not a woman in this part of the country or, for that matter, anywhere else that has a finer petrol-flam, a nobler ideal in her mind and in her heart than this grand old lady. With trembling fingers, but with the glow of fiery enthusiasm in her eyes, she reached down in her purse last Saturday night and unfolded a one-dollar bill, handing it to the Prince's Manager, while she exclaimed: "Take this dollar, my dear man. This goes for the Prince's good work God told me that I must give my little help for this great cause. It means luck for me to give it and it means luck for the Prince to receive it. Oh, I hope I may live to see the Prince succeed with his great work and some day see Africa, the land of my people." Twice the Manager refused to take the dollar bill and twice the grind and noble soul insisted that he must take the green bit of paper, let alone and the Prince may not be lucky. Finally the bill was accepted with this conditional promise by the Manager that the Prince will call in person on the grand old lady and receive her blessing and, in return, will bless her; that the Prince will now never to spend that dollar bill but to keep and frame it as a more reminder of the best and greatest (Consolidated on page 6.)

Our Sunday School was largely attended and the exercises were heartily entered into and enjoyed by all. The New Scholars and strangers received a warm welcome. At the 11 o'clock service the Lord gave us evidence of His presence in the word of truth which had the ring of cheerfulness. The text was "John 20:25—"We have seen the Lord." Nether the absence nor the incredulity of Thomas could prevent the fact of the risen Christ; nor did his ill conduct prevent his fellow Dicipiens from communicating the fact to him and also to others. The chief points dealt with were: Seeing Jesus in Conviction; in Repentance; in Conversion; in Sanification; in Suffering and in Service. Our Junior Missionary Society held a most excellent session in the afternoon and turned in $37.05, toward our New Church Fund. We hail with delight and appreciation the effort on the part of the Young People and urge them to go on to victory. All the members of the various Clubs are requested to attend the weekly meetings and give encouragement and inspiration to the Captains so that our work may proceed. Let us heed the Master's call to service—"Work for the night is coming." The B. Y. P. U. had quite an inspiring service in the evening and all present were edified. At night the Pastor spoke on the Returning Prodigal. Three siuls connected themselves with the church. Let us come early on this the First Sunday, and prepare ourselves for the Lord's Supper at Night. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST (Holiness) Hooper Ave. and East Adams St. Elder Wm. A. Washington, Pastor The past Sunday was a day of righteousness; enjoyment for the worshippers and friends at Bethel The Sunday School is well attended. The pastor delivered a wonderful message at the morning hour. Text 1 Cor. 13:14. Much exhortation was given concerning the unity and the division of the church. The religion of Jesus Christ means unity and helpfulness. When we fail to adhere to these things we are a hinderance to his divine cause. The church is God's life saving station. If the church intends to save the world it must be filled with divine love. Jesus said, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, you have love one for another." America is far from a Christian nation, for if this country possessed what she professes, real animosity, superstition and many other contaminated things would have been a thing of the past. At the evening hour the pastor brought another burning message, Text - Psalm 118:27. Hypocrites were chastised and backsliders rebuked. If you are longing to hear the Gospel, not from a theoretical or theological view point, but the inspiration of God expounded in an influential manner, come to Bethel Next week's services as usual. All welcome. MT. ZION BAPSTIST CHURCH—3rd and Traction Avenue Sunday School at 9:30 sharp. Church services begin at 10:45 sharp. Sunday mirning was a glorious morning at Zion. When our most able leader preached from the subject, "God Threatening Nineveh." It was one of the noblest sermons ever preached. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock the Deacons had a sermon. It was a sermon too. Preached by oneof our other ministers, Rev. R. N. Holt. All the services were at the highest pitch. Come and enjoy these services with us. GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Watts, California. Rev. W. C. Davies, Pastor Last Lord's Day at this Church was a good one. Pastor and people seemed to be filled with the spirit of worship. The S. S. was also aglow with interest, we are striving to do all we can along this line, as we must see to it that the children are cared for. Pastor spoke at both morning and evening service. God is still with us. The church of the open door. PHILLIPS, CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH, 1406 Newton St. Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor. The services at this church on the past Sunday were up to the usual high standard. The pastor preached at both the morning and evening services and the hearts of the people were made glad by the two great messages brought. There was one addition to the membership at the morn- ing service. This church continues to grow in interest and numbers. The coming Sunday being the first Sunday in May is regular communion day and the pastor and officers are expecting the membership out in large numbers to partake of the communion of hte Lord's Supper. The pastor will preach at both the morning and evening services and a spiritual treat is in store for all who avail themselves of the opportunity to be present at these services. The Second Sunday in May will be a great day at this church. The membership is inviting all former C. M. E.'s to be present and be the guests of the church on this day. Dinner will be served free of charge to all who worship with us on this day. The day will be known as "home coming day," and a great time is anticipated. More will be said about this next week. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to the services of this church. Come where a welcome awaits you and where the old time fire is burning. WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 1354 Channing Street Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor. The services throughout the day on the past Sabbath were a decided success. The exercises in the afternoon were highly pleasing; each participant rendered well their part; Mrs. Pearl Alexander, Chairman of the Committee is due much credit for her untiring efforts in presenting to the public such a program.

Harvey said: He had gone up San Juan Hill with Theodore Roosevelt in 1898, while Gebhart was in the army in the Philippines. Among many other things which he said he stood fat-footed, was his Constitutional right to seek office. He spoke for pure water, better housing, better pay for teachers, and spoke in high praise of the Police and the City Health Departments.

The two winners of these singles contests will be awarded a handsome silver cup with their names inscribed theron: The cups are already in the possession of the contest manager, and will be presented to their owners after the contests at the Alpha Tennis Club's Tennis Trophy Dance at Assembly Hall, Adams and Central Ave. According to the "dope" the following girls should be trained into form: Fern Caldwell; Mrs. Henry Young; Charlott Hubert; Florence Harris; Alice Jones; Gilberta Turner and Lottie Bolds. There are also about twelve or fifteen benedicts and marriage slackers who should be knocking the tar out of the ball in order to make their quota. There are today more millionares, retired capitalists, business and professional people, or college students as well as thousands of working people interested in the clean, helpful and cosmopolitan national pastime of lawn tennis than any other outdoor sport before the American public not excepting golf or baseball. The reason is—tennis is the most beneficial game played anywhere or by any people. There are quite enough race people to support at least one good strong tennis club, living in each of the following cities: San Diego, Santa Barbara, Bakersfield, Fresno, Oakland, Frisco, Sacramento, Portland, Tacoma and Spokane. Let's boost for the organizing of these clubs and make the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs the strongest race pleasure organization in existence. Broadway 7775 JOHN A.

THE CONTEST Tuesday will witness the elimination contest in so far as city offices are concerned, no one will be elected, as Mayor, City Attorney the council nor board of education. The California Eagle has always given to the aspirants for public office opportunity to present their claims on our terms (not theirs) many have availed themselves of the opportunity to do so and we ask for them your earnest consideration. For the position of Mayor "ONLY ONE" M. P. Snyder has seen fit to appreciate the voters whom we reach to the extent of placing his announcement before them thru these columns, and we have no quarrel with them at that. If there were those that would quibble and hesitate about recognition at this stage, we can surmise what would happen further on. Therefore Mr. Snyder at least receives the prestige of being the only candidate that appreciates your support to the extent that he appreciates your support so much that on his part there is no hesitation in giving recognition through the race's leading journal to this people. We therefore ask for his candidacy your earnest consideration. Likewise the same applies to John N. Metcalf for City Attorney. And after all has been said and done our chief interest in the coming city election is to see men elected from mayor down, who will give to the city real service and who will give honest and just recognition to all classes of our citizenship. We have tired of seeing the untoward forces of our citizenship glorified to the preference of the men and women of this city who stand for law, order and civic decency; and it is up to the people themselves at this time to select the very best timber and we shall from time to time try to our utmost to assist along these lines by supporting the men whom we verily believe will give to the people a fair and square deal. APPEAL OF PRINCE U. KABA REGA. To speak in Dr. Chas. E. Locke's Church, 6th and Hill Sts., Sunday evening. To the Readers of The Eagle: The management of Prince Umfraena Kaba Rega, the second son of King Azim Kaba Rega, appeals to you and your friends to stand by the African Prince, lilyally and staedfastly, so that he will overcome all obstacles in the starting of his National Campaign and lead it to a grand and glorious success. The following appeal has been sent to a number of white people, but we trust that it will hold. immediate riot with the colored friends and will cause his meetings to be well patronized and his crusade to be a final triumph: ESTEEMED CO-WORKERS! Prince Umfraena Kaba Rega, the second son of King Azim Kaba Rega, Chief of the Unyoro Tribe of British East Africa, has a vital message to bring forth in behalf of his benighted and primitively existing tribesmen in Africa. He wants to civilize them, lead them of religion, redemption and restitution to piety, progress and purity of life and work, so that his millions of helpless brothers and sisters, worshippers of idolatry and paganism, may be made useful for themselves and all humanity. His own father is a pagan king, and the mother that bore him is also enslaved in the attackles of the heathen's customs. The Prince aims to gather funds for the erection of schools, homes of worship and strong libraries in his gattes land, so that his race may be delivered from the darkness of paganism and rescued by the light of modern religion and an useful participation in the gold works of the world. In order to strengthen his great campaign you are especially invited to visit his tent, pitched at Praeger's Park, opposite the baseball grounds, fronting South Hill St., between Hill and Main Sts., and between W. 18th and Washington Sts., to listen to his burning eloquence and to aid his campaign. You are asked to either see him in person or mail your kind donation for his crusade to his address or the address of the African Interland Missionary, Society, whose headquarters are at 611 Canal St., Santa Barbara, Cal., an organization of well regarded men that are backing up the fearless and well-equipped Prince. Trusting that the millions of mentally and spiritually fettered Africans may receive yiur good will and by your generous demeanor toward the Prince's great work, I beg to remain with thanks for your active co-operation. Very truly yours, UMFRAENA KABA REGA Second son of King Azim Kaba Rega, Chief of Unyori Tribe, British East Africa. P. S. The Prince's work is indorsed by the African Interland Missionary Society, by the Colored Ministers and by many prominent white ministers and their powerful friends of this city. The Prince's credentials are ready for your inspection. The Prince's address is: 309 Wilmington Street, Watts, Cal.; or his tent—Praeger's Park, oppisite Baseball grounds, W. Washington St., near Hill St. The Prince will speak at Dr. Charles E. Locke's church, cor. 6th and Hill Sts., Sunday night and present his vital message. ATTORNEY HUGH E. MACBETH TESTIFIES IN WOODMAN TRIAL. Atty. Hugh E. Macbeth whose rigid-demand for a better moral atmosphere in this city was the real beginning of the present vice probe, was a witness in the sensational trial of Mayor Woodman this week. Mr. Macbeth rang true to form and told of his activities along that line, which caused him to be in contact with the mayor and police officers. He branded Sergt. Hackett as having ability, but a master crook; also that the mayor had engaged him to investigate conditions. More than ordinary interest was attached to the examination of Macbeth on account of the fact that it had been rumored that in his cross-examination they were going to spring some treasured up dope from Baltimore. Mr. Macbeth's former home. But this feature failed to materialize; of course no unprejudiced citizen for a moment gave credence to this bunk, other than some disgruntled and disappointed enemy of Macbeth's trying to get even; and the Defense Attorneys evidently were wise to the situation and failed to fall for this sort of propaganda. So therefore it seems as though the documentary evidence of Macbeth's enemies must sweetly repose in the inside pockets of his enemies, until such time as some real sewage system will be opened for it. In the meantime Macbeth gives forth not unlike Don Quixote, frailing wickedness and sin wherever found, and right royally are the citizens who stand for good government and common decency upholding his hands. PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION OF NEW WORLD'S DEMOCRACY. The Militant Editor Harry C. Smith Excoriates the Same in Letter on "Southern Crackers in the North. A "CRACKER" IN THE NORTH. Cleaveland, O., April 21, 1919. Mr. F. H. Houghton, Asst. Treas., Cleveland Trust Co., Dear Sir: My attention has just been called to the contemptible treatment accorded one of your colored depositors and a colored guard at your branch bank at E. 105thth St. and Fucidl Ave. Since the influx of southerners to this city within the last few years my people have been made a world of trouble by prejudiced ones like the depositor who cursell your colored depositor and assaulted one of your guards on Saturday evening last; and all of this was without any provocation, too, the prejudiced individual being the aggressor all the way. My people of this city have much more on deposit in the banks of the Cleveland Trust Co., than that one individual whose conduct, to say the least, ought to make him persona non grata in any well-conducted bank, especially here in Cleveland. While I have no desire to even attempt to interfere directly or indirectly in the management of the Cleveland Trust Company or any of its branches. I do wish to say, sir, just what you would expect under the circumstances, and that is that my people of this city will stand solidly back of your guard (Williams) in their action just as we trust you will also. Very truly your, HARRY C. SMITH, Editor, The Gazette." TO URGE CONCERTED ACTION AGAINST LAWLESSNESS. Twenty-eight States and the District of Columbia Represented in Call.

Mrs. Eliza Allen is a great grandmother and has keen and unimpaired mental faculties. She was born in Bath, Kentucky, one day in January, 1803, and was in slavery 62 years and enjoyed her freedom 54 years, or should God grant, that she lives 8 years longer, will have lived an equal number of years, both in freedom and in slavery, or 62 years of each, making her 122 years old, which age she may attain according to her present looks. She was blessed to find her father, Harry Hughes after slavery times were over, but her mother, Melvina Hughes was cruelly sold away from her, when she was a suckling babe, and she never knew her looks, completely losing forever her dearest friend, her mother, whose final fate was always a mystery to her. One of the surprising events in her long life is the proof of her claim to robust motherhood, giving birth to 15 children of whom 5 are still living. We challenge the readers of this article to disprove that this old lady with 116 years as her life's score, made during a longer time in than out of slavery, forgetting herself completely, but in her bright, mental vision seeing her mihterland Africa in coming splendor before her, with liberty, independence, self-control and official cognition as the foundation of the future of her people, giving her one dollar to the Prince's noble cause for home rule and true religion; one dollar which means as much and more than if a wealthy person would give 10,000 dollars,—we challenge any reader of this article to disprove that venerable Eliza Allen, an ex-slave and vendor of religious traits, such as God's commandments, etc., 116 years of age, sound of mind and noble of heart, is the best and grandest soul, both white and colored, in this city. In all the vast experience of the writer this act of the fine lady—ex-slave—was the most touching, the most heart-stirring showing of human greatness ever seen or proven anywhere. —L. M.

The City was in holiday attire last Tusday in commemoration of the return of California's two fighting regiments, the 363rd and 347th. Every available space in the down town district was beautifully decorated, and the seething mass of humanity that continually poured up and down the streets all day, gave evidence of these grim warriors. In the line of March several race people were recognized, the largest representation being from the Red Cross Auxiliaries, namely, Chas. Young Chapter and the Colored Americans. They received unstinted applause from the Ferry to the Civic Center and their appearance bespoke the pride that we display in all affairs pertaining to National enterprise. San Francisco was agreeably surprised last Monday Evening, when the Jewel City Club, a new organization, gave an Easter Ball that has eclipsed any similar event given recently. It was an all-night affair, and took place at Scottish Rite Auditorium. Both the upper and lower halls were packed to their utmost capacity, and the Club members handled the huge crowd admirably. Out of town people were very much in evidence, and the ladies vied with each other in the display of their Easter finery. After one o'clock the crowd was augmented by the arrival of the Oakland contingent, many of whom had attended the Lady Elk's Ball in the Bay City. The music was ethereal, Orpheus Orchestra dispersing their wondrous strains from eight until two, when they were relieved by La Protti's famous So Different Jazz Band. Perfect order prevailed throughout the night, and no one was heard singing the blues about any portion of the evening's pleasure. Mr. Fred Johnson, chairman of the Club, is deserving of all the praise that can be showered upon him for the able manner in which he guided everyone's happiness. In spite of it being all all-night dance, many were heard to remark that they could dance on until noon, but as the morning dew was much in evidence, and the won't go home until morning spirit insisted in pursuing, each and every guest murmured sad adieus at what has generally been conceded as "The End of a Perfect Night." Mrs. Laura Williams is reported seriously ill, and little hope is entertained for her recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Sydney La Protti entertained at dinner Easter Sunday.

The room was profusely and magnificently decorated with flowers and flags. The decorating having been done by the Red Cross ladies and could not have been more tastefully and beautifully done, and was greatly appreciated by the committee. After the opening song "America" by the audience, the Rev. J. A. Fleming led in prayer. The Hon. A. L Hamilton, Chairman of the City Commissioners., being oblidged to catch a train within the hour, was introduced at this point by the Rev. W. H. Tillman the president of the committee and he made a very pleasing address of welcome back to the city, which was greatly appreciated by the boys, he also complimented them on their valiant deeds while on the many battlefronts in France. The president Rev. Tillman then made a rousing speech to the delight of the audience and introduced Rev. Wm. Prince as the master of ceremonies, who made a few fitting remarks. Miss Gladys Harris welcomed the boys back to the homes and Miss Ruth Prince welcomed them back to the churches., all three addresses were well worded and well received. The Young Men's Glee club sang a selection which was well received. The soldier boys beginning with Hal Pasqual Pearson made short talks in which they told of their experience in France, on the seas and even in the cantonements. The others were Sergeant Perry, Sergt. Raoul Reynolds, Corp. John Harris and Sergt. Wm. H. Miller. Sergt.
