How He Fought -- When He Fought -- Where He Fought, to Defend the Flag and Help to Make the Nation Great. EXTENDED ELOQUENT REMARKS BY HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN, HIGHLY HONORED MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM THE FIRST CONGRESSONAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS. Mr. Madden. Mr. Speaker, under leave to extend my remarks I insert an article on "The Negro in the World War," which is as follows: THE NEGRO—A PATRIOT (By Hon. Martin B. Madden) Robert Lee Bullard must have been considered a good military officer, or he would not have been selected to command an army in the war between the United States and Germany. Being a great officer and having had his reputation made for him as a commander of colored troops, one would naturally suppose that when he took command of the Second Army that he would not begin his command by expressing doubt as to the success of a Negro command as great as a division, though he said he found himself with most kindly feelings toward the Negroes. with Negro soldiers." This is but another evidence that the failure was not in the soldiers, if failure there was, but that the failure was in the commanders, whoever they might be, black or white." The general says: "I could not ascribe the failure to poor quality in their higher officers; these officers generally, as I have said, were good, in most cases excellent." If the Negro soldier was good in the Regular Army, why could he not be made good in this Great War emergency? We have the word of General Bullard that he was good in the Regular Army. It is a pity that a great commander would take the time in his history of the war to occupy the space to belittle men of any race who gave themselves freely to their country in defense of They were present on every battlefield in the Spanish-American War and with Dewey in Manila Bay. But this is not all. In less militant times they were conspicuously in evidence. Pietro Alonzo, a man of color, was pilot of the Nina in 1492 under Columbus. They-were with Lewis and Clark, 1804-1806, and with J. C. Fremont in 1842 in his explorations of the Rocky Mountains. One of their race stood beside Admiral Robert Peary at the North Pole and waved the American flag on the roof of the world. Now let them tell their own story of their patriotism in the Great War. Here it is: What Did the Black Troops Actually Accomplish? After their training behind the line they were first assigned to the com- It always seemed to me that a great commander was a man who would have the ability to co-ordinate the forces under him and make them function successfully in war, but General Bullard says, on page 294 of his book, "The Negro division seems in a fair way to be a failure." He seems to have said that without making much effort to see that the command was co-ordinated. He goes on later to say, "It is a quiet sector, yet can hardly take care of itself, while to take any offensive action seems wholly beyond its powers." Then he goes on: "I have been here now with it three weeks and have been unable to have it make a single raid upon the enemy." "They are really inferior soldiers." "There is no denying it." "Their Negro officers have an inadequate idea of what is expected of soldiers, and their white officers are too few to leaven the lump." "The Ninety-second Negro Division is not making much, if any, progress toward efficiency, and I am afraid it never will be worth anything as a fighting unit." This coming from a man who professes to be a friend of the Negro soldier seems rather strange, particularly since the general admits in the early part of the chapter from which I quote that his great success as a soldier was in command of Negro troops which he himself recruited. And he goes on again: "Its division commanding general is not very strong as a military man. I'm inclined to think he will have to be 'S O S'd,' and I'll have to have this done." As the commander of the Army it was the duty of General Bullard to have generals in command who had strength as military men; men who would be capable of commanding soldiers of any color. If I understand it correctly, to have troops fight with great vigor and bravery they must be commanded by men of vigor and courage. General Bullard says, "The enemy troops against them were of second or third class, not by any means the best." How does he know that? Why does his class his own troops as the worst, without courage or initiative, and then seem to make that matter still worse by asserting that the troops against them were second or third class? I quote the general again from page 296: "The Negroes were a great disappointment." But again he admits that there was no need for the Negro soldiers to be a great disappointment, because he says, "This experience did not agree with the experience of the Regular Army of the United States with Negro soldiers." This is but another evidence that the failure was not in the soldiers, if failure there was, but that the failure was in the commanders, whoever they might be, black or white." The general says: "I could not ascribe the failure to poor quality in their higher officers; these officers generally, as I have said, were good, in most cases excellent." If the Negro soldier was good in the Regular Army, why could he not be made good in this Great War emergency? We have the word of General Bullard that he was good in the Regular Army. It is a pity that a great commander would take the time in his history of the war to occupy the space to belittle men of any race who gave themselves freely to their country in defense of its flag. I am sorry that General Bullard did this. He could have been engaged in a better business. As a commander it was his duty to see that these men, and all other men under his charge, were properly commanded, properly treated without discrimination, and encouraged in every way possible to do their duty as soldiers. If he failed to do this as a soldier he should not have availed himself of the privilege of traducing the soldiers of his command when he came to write the history of their service. There was plenty of opportunity for everybody engaged in the Great War to do their duty. The history of the war should be written without prejudice. Every man who gave himself to his country is entitled to the credit which the sacrifice entailed, irrespective of his color. I think when the history of the war is written without prejudice it will be found that the Negro soldiers did their duty, that they had courage, bravery, and patriotism; that they were willing to make any sacrifice, and that if any failure followed their service it was not the failure of the rank and file, it was the prejudice which existed in the commanders who would not permit them to succeed if it was possible to make them fail. Might it not be appropriate at this point to recall the fact that the black people have never faltered in their patriotism, nor has history ever recorded among the race a Benedict Arnold. It is, I take it, not improper to suggest the sacrifices of the black soldiers at Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, Red Bank, Groton Heights, and other important battles of the War of Independence. At Lundy Lane, N. Y.; Lake Erie, under Commodore Perry; North Point; Bladesburg; New Orleans, and other actions of the War of 1812-1814. They bore a conspicuous part in all the colonial wars and later against the Indians on the frontier. 7 At Vera Cruz, Mexico, 1847, under Lieut. Raphael Semmes, when they manned the naval battery in that siege, and again their fidelity to every obligation assumed was tested in no doubtful manner on both sides of the great conflict of 1861. Their loyalty and fidelity to their former owners, their wives, and children during that strenuous period was eloquently described in burning language, May 31, 1918, by Congressman Pou, of North Carolina, and at an earlier date by the late lamented Henry Grady, spokesman of the new South, who declared it challenged his highest admiration as being without a parallel in recorded history. They were present on every battlefield in the Spanish-American War and with Dewey in Manila Bay. But this is not all. In less militant times they were conspicuously in evidence. Pietro Alonzo, a man of color, was pilot of the Nina in 1492 under Columbus. They were with Lewis and Clark, 1804-1806, and with J. C. Fremont in 1842 in his explorations of the Rocky Mountains. One of their race stood beside Admiral Robert Peary at the North Pole and waved the American flag on the roof of the world. Now let them tell their own story of their patriotism in the Great War. Here it is: What Did the Black Troops Actually Accomplish? After their training behind the line they were first assigned to the comparatively quiet sector of the Vosges in Alsace-Lorraine, where they relieved the Fifth American Division and the division of French troops August 5, 1918. The very first night in the front line the Germans shelled us and sent out a raiding party which attacked our Third Battalion front. Colored Soldiers Capture Five Germans First Night They were repulsed, and Corp. Roscoe Brooks, of Company K, Three Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry, Third Battalion, single handed captured five German soldiers and exhibited them at Dennipaire, regimental headquarters, from whence they were sent to general headquarters of the Ninety-second Division. These were the first "ones" of General Bullard's Germans that were captured. Similar activities were carried along our whole front line, which was held by two regiments. There were no orders given for offensive save to take a small position to straighten up our front line, which the Three Hundred and Sixty-seventh Infantry did. The usual reconnaissance were made. "Perchance the change by promotions and transfers of our white officers probably made the matter of recording the number of enemy and material captured impossible." After having gotten our seasoning here we were shifted to the Argonne Forest where in the emergency all of our combat troops, save the Three Hundred and Sixty-eighth Infantry (with the possible exception of a few of the Three Hundred and Sixty-seventh), were used to repair the shell-torn roads over which it was absolutely indispensable that ammunition and supplies should pass. But our men did this disagreeable task of road builders and labor battalions without murmur behind the advancing waves of other American troops, though exposed to constant shell fire, which killed some and injured many. (Bullard does not mention this as perhaps this calls for no valor, even though one does have to be under the same bombardment of heavy artillery as attacking troops and has not the inspiration of being able to fight at the fellow who is fighting him.) Account of the Three Hundred and Sixty-eighth This leaves the Three Hundred and sixty-eighth to be accounted for. It was ordered, on the evening of September 27, to advance its third battalion to an objective which was surrounded by dense woods and heavy barb-wire entanglements, with hosts of machine guns. It was dark and a drizzling rain was falling. Despite the fact, Company K of this regiment (Continued on Page 3) SUBSCRIBE FOR THE BROAD AX 1 No. 29 [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. HON.

OSCAR WOLFF, THE POPULAR CORONER OF COOK COUNTY, THE COLORED INMATES IN THE VARIOUS COUNTY INSTITUTIONS ARE BEING MORE HUMANELY TREATED. Some of the head officials of the various public institutions of Cook County have experienced much pleasure in the past dealing out shabby treatment to the colored inmates of those institutions who are poor, sick and are unable to either help or take care of themselves. It will be recalled that only recently a colored man who was sick unto death was turned away from the County Hospital and shortly afterwards he fell dead on the public streets of Chicago. At that time Hon. Oscar Wolff, the head Coroner of Cook County honestly felt that his Chief Deputy Coroner, of the Cook County morgue, had become color blind when it came down to dealing with sick colored people and near that time Coroner Wolff penned a copy of the following letter to his late Chief Deputy at the Cook County inorgue, Mr. Sam. L. Davis. Copy of letter by Coroner Wolff: My Dear Sir: "I have repeatedly cautioned you to be absolutely impartial in your conduct when conducting inquests. It appears from recent cases that you have paid no attention nor given any serious consideration to my advice and caution. "My attention has been called to the case of Alex. Witman (case No. 28) upon whom an autopsy was performed by Dr. Foley, Coroner's Physician. In his official statement, made to the Coroner of Cook County, Dr. Foley states that Alex. Witman died from Acute Alcoholism and Exposure. It is evident that you paid no attention to the statement of facts given you by Dr. Foley, duly signed in accordance with the law, and it further appears that in transcribing the verdict for the jury you laid special stress upon the opinion of two doctors who were not present at the post-mortem and rendered a verdict contrary to the findings of Dr. Foley's post-mortem. There is a wide difference between acute alcoholism and chronic alcoholism and in your twenty-one years' experience at the Morgue you no doubt are well aware of that fact. The verdict also omits the word "exposure," so that the verdict is not in accordance with the post-mortem but rather written in accordance with the opinion of two doctors who were not present at the post-mortem. I do not know whether, in this case, accident insurance is involved, but if it should appear that accident insurance is involved in this instance, the widow in this particular case would be compelled to engage a lawyer and give him one-third to one-half of the amount of the policy, instead of collecting the amount due her upon the Coroner's certified verdict of death. "I have just completed reading the testimony of one Harry Horton, in which three policemen were exonerated for shooting him to death while he stood with his hands in the air, a sign of surrender. It appears to me that in this particular case the rights of the person who was shot by the police officers were not given the same serious consideration that would have been given to the shooting had that person been white instead of colored. The police officer who arrested Harry Horton should have arrested the woman who made the complaint against Harry Horton for gambling, instead of Harry Horton. It does not appear from the evidence that the police officer had personal knowledge that this man violated the law or the city ordinance in any manner whatsoever. This woman should have been arrested and not Harry Horton. You should also have called the juries' attention to the fact that if the gambling had not been allowed by public officials, this shooting would not have occurred. Your attention was also called to the mental condition of Harry Horton. On numerous occasions he was taken into custody by the police who turned him over to RENOMINATE HON. HENRY M. WALKER FOR JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHI- CAGO (Continued from Page 1) of this newspaper and continues to carefully read the contents of its col- umns every week. Judge Walker is one of the most eminent Masons in the United States. He has been traveling east for many years; is an honored member of Covenant Lodge No. 526, A. F. & A. his aunt, Mrs. Ferrell, who acted as his guardian. You were also informed by evidence presented at the inquest that Harry Horton, at several occasions, was a patient of an insane asylum, and from the testimony of Mrs. Ferrell it is evident that the police knew that Harry Horton, on several occasions, was a patient of an insane asylum and knew where to find him if the law required that he be taken into custody. The post-mortem statement of Dr. Foley is positive evidence that Horton was shot facing the police officers, the bullet wounds showing the entrance and exit of the bullets, and they are positive evidence that he was not running at the time he was shot, as the testimony of the police officers would have you believe. According to the police officer's own testimony, three police officers and a deputy sheriff had surrounded him and were standing from two to three feet apart and from seven to ten feet away from Horton when the shots were fired, that resulted in his death, positive proof that he could be taken into custody without firing a shot. At the time Harry Horton was placed under arrest by the police officer, the police officer had an opportunity to search him for a weapon, which no doubt was done, so that he had personal knowledge that Harry Horton was not armed and that neither his life nor the life of any police officer was at any time in jeopardy. The police are being paid to protect life, liberty and property and not to destroy them. "My attention has also been called to several inquests over which you presided. From the history of the testimony in case No. 95, one male adult, 70 years old, was refused admittance at the County Hospital on January 17th. On January 21st he died and the autopsy showed lobar pneumonia. It further shows that Alfred Richardson, colored, 1253 S. Morgan St., was affected with lobar pneumonia from five to seven days previous to applying at the hospital and should have been admitted to the hospital. It was your duty to advise me in order that an investigation might have been made on such a serious charge before closing the inquest. William Battle, a colored man, living at 2908 State St., a patient in the County Hospital, was sent home in a taxi and at Ashland Ave. and Roosevelt Rd. died from lobar pneumonia within twenty minutes after leaving the hospital. (Case No. 56 of January, 1926). Why this person should be sent out of the hospital in this condition is a mystery and you should have advised me of this matter before closing the inquest. Albert Gilbert (Case No. 73), picked up by flivver squad, was taken to the County Hospital and refused admittance. He was examined at the County Hospital and sent to the Psychopathic Hospital. The next morning the Psychopathic Hospital sent him home because in their opinion he did not have delirium tremens. Before he reached Polk and Wood Sts., after leaving the Psychopathic Hospital, he dropped dead from lobar pneumonia. I cannot understand why you should not have called my attention to this case before closing the inquest. It is very evident that you are not co-operating with the Coroner of Cook County in this respect. One thing is evident, that since Coroner Wolff has stirred up some of the big county officials and others, and has secured in having the Chief Justice of the Criminal Court to set a Coroner's Jury's verdict aside, which was a stain on the memory of one of the colored men whose life was unlawfully ended by wild cat officers of the law, enabling his widow to collect his life insurance, no more colored men and women have been turned out of the hospital to die on the public streets of this city.

For the past five years Mr. Sproul has served his District faithfully and well, devoting his entire time to the services of the people and giving his constituents the benefit of more than forty years of business experience. HIS POLICY OF SERVICE TO CONSTITUENTS IS UNCHANGED. HE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE THAT POLICY EFFECTIVE IN WASHINGTON. As a member of the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, one of the few major Committees of the House, Mr. Sproul was largely responsible for the enactment of legislation granting a salary increase to 350,000 employees of the postal service. He has personally investigated the claims and procured the settlement of hundreds of cases for disabled ex-service men, and through his efforts many Civil War and Spanish-American War veterans and their widows have received increased pensions. No case of an ex-service man has been called to Mr. Sproul's attention without receiving prompt attention, and, with few exceptions, a successful and satisfactory settlement. EVERY ONE OF THE THOUSANDS OF LETTERS WHICH HAVE COME TO HIM DURING HIS TERMS OF OFFICE RECEIVED PROMPT CONSIDERATION AND COURTEOUS REPLY. Mr. Sproul has been an administration stalwart, having consistently stood with President Coolidge in his economy program whereby taxes have been reduced more than One Billion Seven Hundred Million dollars. His counsel is sought by his party leaders and his colleagues value his judgment on matters of business and political policy.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 3, 1926 RE-ELECT HON. ELLIOTT W. SPROUL TO CONGRESS FROM THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS In 1920 Hon. Elliott W. Sproul was first elected to Congress from the Third Congressional District of this state and from that time to the present he has made an undying record in the lower halls of Congress. During all those years he has worked very hard in the interest of all the people residing in his district, but he has also labored hard in the interest of all the people of the grand old state of Illinois and for the benefit of all the people of this great nation! It may be well to call the attention of this newspaper's readers to several important facts or points in the political career of Congressman Sproul—namely: Ever since he has been one of the most honorable and upright members of that body, he has in season and out of season, loyalty stood shoulder to shoulder with Hon. Marting B. Madden in all of his bitter fights against "Jim Crowism" and "Jim Crow legislation" in the lower house of Congress. Congressman Sproul greatly assisted Congressman Madden in his great fight in favor of the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Congressman Sproul, as a live member of the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads, freely voted in favor of increasing the salary of 350,000 employees of the postal service, which increased the salaries of thousands of colored men and women who are connected with the postoffice department throughout the United States. For these and many other reasons every colored voter residing in the Third Congressional District of Illinois should, on Tuesday, April 13, honor themselves by voting in favor of renominating Hon. Elliott W. Sproul for Congressman from his old district so that he can continue to assist to uphold the hands of Hon. Martin B. Madden.

A HIGHLY INTERESTING PROGRAM WAS RENDERED AT THE PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOME The educational committee of the Phyllis Wheatley Home rendered a splendid program Sunday, March 28, at 5 P. M. The following participants were presented: Little Miss Mercedes Officer rendered a very pretty piano selection; Little Miss LaVergne Officer, in her quaint but charming manner, rendered a couple of readings; Miss Nannie M. Strayhorn's piano selections were beautiful as was also those of Mrs. Naomi Carew Bowen; Rev. Theo. Stephens, pastor of the New Church Swedenborgian, gave a very interesting talk to "Palm Sunday"; Madame Bertha L. Hensley, president of the Phyllis Wheatley Home, introduced the speaker of the afternoon, Attorney Wm. E. King. His address, "Rendering Service," will long be remembered, so full of pathos, inspiration and determination. Attorney King was both calm and forceful in his talk. He was graciously responded to by our eminent speaker and theologian, Rev. Theo. Stephens. After a few brief remarks from Miss Beatrice Mitchell, one of the youngest and active board members of the Home, and Miss I. Odom, superintendent of the Home, the program was brought to an end. 398 PEE MR. JOHN E. CONROY President of the Ashland Avenue and 55th Street Business Men's Association. He is one of the most popular citizens and successful business men on the Southwest side. He is slated for the nomination for member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County. THOUSANDS CONGRATULATE HON. JOHN E. CONROY The appointment of Hon. John E. Conroy to fill a vacancy in the Cook County Board of Assessors, created by the death of the late Michael K. Sheridan, is receiving the approval of thousands of people who have known Mr. Conroy for many years. Started in Real Estate Business Mr. Conroy was born in Chicago, August 14, 1888, at 116 Sherman street; graduated from the elementary and high schools and immediately entered the real estate business in his father's office at 5540 S. Racine avenue, Chicago, which he still successfully conducts. In 1908 he opened a branch real estate office at 5538 S. Ashland avenue. He married in 1908 and has for many years enjoyed the comradeship of his wife and daughter, Miss Mary Alice. Held in High Regard His enviable record is evidenced by the many friends who regard his opinions with a great deal of value. Those who have had occasion to transact business with Mr. Conroy have come to regard his integrity as well as his knowledge of public affairs as absolutely reliable and authoritative. He was appointed by the Board of Local Improvements as condemnation commissioner for La Salle street widening. Business Men's Choice In addition to holding office of Assessor, Mr. Conroy holds the important position of president of the Ashland Avenue and 55th Street Business Men's Association. The members of this capable organization hold Mr. Conroy in high regard because of the many accomplishments he has effected for this organization. Knew Sheridan Well Mr. Conroy is well qualified to fulfill Mr. Sheridan's office. He was one of his closest friends for many years. He knew full well Mr. Sheridan's ideals and thoughts regarding civic affairs. He enjoyed the absolute confidence of his esteemed friend and always sought to be of assistance to him in every possible way. A Friend to All Congratulations tendered Mr. Conroy during the past few weeks, upon his appointment, have been forthcoming from men and women in every walk of life; from the wealthy as well as from those who are not quite so fortunate. These few facts are sufficient to indicate how well qualified Mr. Conroy is to fill the position to which he has been appointed. Mr. Conroy, who is a nephew of Mr. D. F. Kelly, manager of the Fair, State and Adams streets, is vice-president of the 16th ward Democratic Organization and he is a warm friend of Hon. Terence F. Moran, the best and the most hustling alderman that ward has ever had. Mr. Conroy is not ashamed to let the people know that like Alderman Moran he has many friends among the colored voters residing in the new 16th ward who will assist him in his successful fight at the primaries Tuesday, April 13, and make it possible for him to become one of the members of the Board of Assessors of Cook County. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN'S ORATION ON THE COLORED SOLDIERS (Continued from Page 1) moved forward, and after advancing 50 yards under the heavy shell fire of the enemy one of them burst in the first platoon, killing three men and wounding eight. Captain Smith, of this company, and his men pushed on under shell and machine gun fire, capturing 20 Germans and 4 machine guns by 10 P. M. The men were halted for the night without cover, under high explosive and gas shell bombardment. They stuck. At 5 A. M., September 28, the first and third battalions, under Majors Max Ellser and Norris, both white, were ordered to advance. The men of the third battalion had neither food nor water for two days, but Company K, on the right, and Company I, on the left, advanced through the enemy's barrage of machine guns and shrapnel, arriving in Morrow Valley, a distance of a mile away. Here, because of the inability of the captains of the third battalion to keep in contact with Major Norris (white), whose command post did not advance with his line, decided to hold consultation. While doing so a shell burst 20 feet away, fatally wounding Captain Green, leaving Captain Smith, Company K, to command the two companies in the line without the assistance of a single officer of his company, all of whom had been wounded, and with but two officers in Company I. Sergt. William Collier, of Company K, captured on this day of the alleged disorderly retreat 2 machine guns, 12 Germans, killing 3 others. The Second Battalion had not supported the Third Battalion because their white major, Max Ellser, had hidden in a shell hole at the launching of the attack, surrounding himself with a platoon of colored soldiers, and finally after countermanding and rechanging orders to his captains, he fled precipitately to the rear, destroying the morale of his battalion and making them ineffective in this combat. Despite this, his captains held wherever possible the terrain gained and where impossible to do so retired. Several days after this, Maj. Gen. C. C. Ballou, in the presence of Judge Advocate Maj. A. E. Patterson (colored) said to Maj. Max Ellser, who sat cringing before him, "You cowardly ——, I ought to have you court-martialed, but for the sake of the division, I shall send you to the base hospital, where you stay three weeks." The inefficiency of Major Norris, of the Third Battalion, was demonstrated by the fact that on the 27th of September while his troops were engaged under heavy and severe artillery and machine gun fire he issued orders for all officers on the line to report to Battalion Headquarters, leaving his thousand soldiers without a single officer while his colored officers had to come backward through the enemy's barrage to his protected dugout and then return through the same enemy's barrage to their exposed positions. Only Colored Officers Tried for Cowardice Yes, the colored officers, including Capt. Dan Smith, a veteran of the Twenty-seventh Infantry of the United States Army, who had been awarded a congressional medal of honor for bravery in action, a hero of the Carizal and the Philippines, and who had captured with his company 20 Germans and 4 machine guns on the 27th, were tried for cowardice along with four others. Max Ellser, cowardly major, was promoted after his return from the base hospital to a lieutenant colonelcy and assigned to command the Three Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry when he was relieved after two days. Major Norris, of course, was the victim of circumstances of officering colored men. However, in their precipitate retreat the colored officers and men of the Three Hundred and Sixty-eighth Battalion captured 36 Germans, 6 machine guns, killing 3 Germans and wounding others in hand to hand battle. Four of these officers were tried. Captain Smith was sentenced to be shot but reprieved by President Wilson. The other units of the Ninety-second Division were not engaged, but felt bitter because of the turn of events in the Three Hundred and Sixty-eighth, which we feel were due to cowardly field officers more than anything else. We might mention these trivial circumstances that our equipment was short because our white supply officer of the Three Hundred and Sixty-eighth Infantry had failed to provide our men and officers with the barbed-wire cutters usual and necessary, in such attacks; our own white artillery had failed to make the proper preparation for our HON.

These were the facts that led to the charge of cowardice in that regiment.

George as the general director and Dr. M. O. Bousfield, chairman of the special finance committee, the success of the Urban League drive for funds is almost assured. Two hundred workers met at the Wabash Branch Y. M. C. A. last Monday night and received instructions, receipt books and talking points and by Tuesday night scores of persons had been seen, although the drive does not formally open until April 5th. Mrs. Helen Sayre is director of the women's division and Lemuel L. Foster of the men's division. Each division has ten teams of ten workers and each worker has been asked to secure no less than $20. If this is done, the two divisions will raise $4,000 and with the $1,000 which the special committee is raising, the goal of $5,000 will be reached. Sunday, April 11, has been designated as "Urban League Sunday" and many of the pastors have arranged for speakers to present the work of the organization before their congregations. Workers will meet daily at the drive headquarters, April 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12, between 1 and 2 P. M., to render reports. Hot chocolate and sandwiches will be served to all workers by a special committee of women. BEWARE OF FAKE STOCK MARKET SCHEMES By Chief of Police Morgan A.

Johnson Publicity Officer The commanding officer, Col. Otis B. Duncan, who has just completed his preliminary inspection, reports the regiment very satisfactory from the standpoint of personnel, equipment and efficiency and he is confident that we are prepared to undergo the federal inspection in its minutest detail. John H. Patton, who was recently appointed lieutenant colonel and assigned to the 8th Infantry, I. N. G., is again in the harness and keeps quite busy these days in his official capacity of executive officer and commander of the Chicago units. He was seen on last Monday night getting measured for one of those snappy new uniforms that have just been approved by the War Department. As is customary, a board consisting of the following officers has been appointed to formulate plans for the 31st annual sermon of the regiment, to be held at Berean Baptist Church, Sunday, May 30: Capts. Benote H. Lee, Matthew R. Johnson; First Lieuts. Durand Harding, Wm. O. R. Bourne, and Second Lieuts. George Christly and Oscar Randall.
