X WOMEN CRUSHED TO DEATH BUNDY TRIAL STARTS TUESDAY Lawyers to Ask Change of Venue or Continuance St. Monica's Church Again the Scene of Discrimination By J. M. Batchman East St. Louis, Ill., Nov. 16.—Last Thursday, in the Belleville circuit court, the trial of Dr. LeRoy Bundy was set for Tuesday, Nov. 20. It is believed that his lawyers will ask either for a charge of venue or a continuance of the trial. The prosecution is believed to be seeing a scapegoat and has been hot on the trail of Dr. Bundy, one of the most prominent men in St. Louis. It is understood that the charge against Bundy is unbailable under the laws of Illinois. It is also thoroughly understood that there is really no foundation for the charge. The truth of the matter is, the doctor is facing a serious situation, because some one and no one cares to place him on the world allows a doctor to suffer rather than to see May's Trial Next Mayor Mollman's trial is set for Feb. 22, but in event of the Bundy trial being started the mayor's trial will be postponed. Mayor Mollman will be the mayor's secretary, will be the trial killer.

The men were George Thornton, William Perkins, Lee Cox and Tom Bogan. They said that D. A. Allen (white), a track foreman on the Baltimore & Ohio, had enticed them here from Jackson, promising them $2 a day but gave them only $1.60 after they got here. The men rowed with Allen when he wanted to sell them blankets at $2.25 a piece and they quit, going to the Illinois Central railway. Allen charged them for transportation. Congressman Raker rebuked Allen for his treatment of the men and his methods of using them for self gain. James Kirk, editor of the Daily Journal, which is disliked by labor men, testified, bringing out more rottenness than precedent witnesses. Expected Riot Kirk said that things were bad politically. He had expected trouble, even a bit, but had thought it would have been so much graft and corruption expected to see the better class march on the city hall and demand its surrender. Theme by which East St. Louis professional bondsmen have escaped paying for forgiveness in justice courts was described today to the congressional committee investigating the causes of the race riots of July 2, by Frank L. Lewis, a former professional bondsman. He said he had been a party to the practice which he described. "It is an unwritten law in the justice courts for bondmen," testified "that when professional bondsmen are bond, and the accused person fails to appear, the justice shall not declare a bond forfeiture, but shall declare the defendant guilty by default, and shall be fined $1000 and costs, which the bondsman Bonds Accepted by Police He said the unlawful practice of freeing prisoners at police stations, at night, on bonds approved by the police, was still in force, and had been in force except under Mayor Chamberlin, who fused to permit the police to sign bond acceptances and a justice used to stay downtown at night for this purpose. Marks then went back to the administration of Mayor Silas Cook, which preceded the Lambert, Chamberlin and Mollman administrations. He testified that who was Cook's son-in-law, worked with Eugene Sweeney, a promoter, to get a 50-year electric light and power franchise, and that McBrien sold the franchise for $50,000 to a St. Louis promoter, who sold it to Clark Brotherton for $75,000. The franchise is now used by the East St. Louis Light and Power Co. McBrien, without giving dates or names, told of a story which he said was "common gossip," to the effect that $14,000 was once placed in a safe for members of the city council, after was passed. He said it was related that he commended without getting his share, and that his widow filed suit for it. Complaint About City Unavailing Marks told how, under the Lambert administration, he and his family were disturbed by the late Nick Cantillon's Edelwes cafe, near his shop. He said he complained to Lambert, and that the mayor advised him to move his family to another neighborhood. Marks said he gold about 200 revolvers a year. When he admitted his own part in bond practices, Congressman Foster made a remark about the value of "an honest confession." Church Again Discrimination picked out for this purpose is St. Monica's Mission at Thirty-sixth and Dearborn streets, formerly presided over by Rev. John S. Morris. By a long proclamation from Archbishop Mundeltein to Very Rev. Burgerman, provincial of the Catholic religious order of the Fathers of the Divine Order, the order has been sent out to "Hirr" the priest of St. James' white Catholic must enter the sacred precincts of that edifice. The claim is made in the proclamation that Catholics of the Race will not be barred from the white churches. It has been some time since Race children have been allowed to attend St. James' white avenue. This being a fact, it is plainly evident that, no matter what claim is being made to the contrary, Jim Crowism is worming its way into Catholic circles in this city. One day the United States Supreme court decided against segregation resenting the so-called Archbishop of Archbishop declares for segregation spiritual in the north. There have been many injustices sent through in the name of religion, and the Archbishop's swan song can be considered but a blind for a sentiment that he has been against the Race members of his church. It is indeed a regrettable condition. "Until now practically any one who so desired could affiliate himself with St. Monica's attend services and receive the sacraments there," says the official communication of the Archbishop. "Now I desire St. Monica's to be reserved entirely for the Colored people of Chicago, and particularly for the south side. The Catholics of whatever race or color are to be requested, not to be intrude." AMERICA'S GREATEST ORATOR M. Photo by Brans, Louisville, Ky.

Girl Goes South With 8th Reg.as Man; Shipped Back, She Goes to Rockford The bugle call, drum roll and khaki suits proved too much of a temptation for little Gladys Johnson, 652 East Sixty-fifth street, and she joyously decided that a life as a Sammie would offer all the adventures traits she longer for in earlier life. Now Gladys is a keen-egid, polished little chap, masquerading as a soldier boy in Uncle Sam's uniform. Left With Eighth Regiment When the various companies of the Eighth regiment were assembled in the armory at Thirty-fifth street and Forrest avenue, prior to their departure, Gladys was hiding away somewhere in a dark corner, dressed in military attire and with hair bobbed to escape all methods of identity. Just as the great mass of soldiers swarmed out of the open doors she quickly darted into lines and matched gallantly with gun on shoulder to the station with the troops. Not in a single event did Gladys comit an act that would portray the slight semblance of effeminacy. She refused to accept any attic course than that of a "rough-and-tumble, jolly, good old soldier boy." She had practiced the art of discussing army affairs so thoroughly that she never wavered when in conversation concerning guns, maneuvering NOTICE OWING to Thanksgiving coming on Thursday, Nov. 29, forms for that week will close Tuesday.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER or trench-digging. Her sweetheart, who is a member of one of the com-munities she lives in, is the very point. Her love for him was too great. She could not bear the idea being so far away from Private School so far that the soul was "Where the heart is the home." Identity Revealed in Houston As the long line of troops rolled into the city of Houston Gladys leaped upon the ground and formed in line beside her, sweetly, with the air of the gallant Eighth, and marched in the long procession to the quarters in the Camp Logan. She spent the day in doing odd jobs around the grounds and preparing her tent with the aid of "dear little Shorty." Things went well until, about 10 o'clock the following day, when Gladys fell exhausted from overwork. She was taken to the camp, held in the medical aid, and here she was. Gladys lost her medical aid. Nadys quickly spread around the camp that a girl had been discovered among the ranks, and the boys immediately solicited funds to send Gladys home. As a result of their efforts $25 was raised and given to her and she started back to Chicago, but the call of the bugle once more proved an allurement too strong to resist, and she made her way to Cary Grant, Rockford, Ill, where, it is said, she was in the army. Prior to her self-enlistment in the Eighth regiment Gladys was engaged by the Ebony Film Company to pose for moving pictures in Benton Harbor, Mich. She supported the late Burt Murphy in one of his roles, but the picture was never shown on account of the fact that the picture was not of the same rumored that she inherited an estate through the death of an uncle valued at approximately $15,000. Relatives have been unable to determine the cause for the girl's queer actions in the past few months. Military Medals Are AWARDED MAIL London, Nov. 15.—In the recent mediation of I. C.

Here to it: "Beaumont, Tex., Nov. 19, 1917.—Dear Friend Tony: We had the great pleasure of meeting the officers and boys of the famous Eighth Illinois Ink-ware at Houston. The second day we went to the march, passed in review before Gov. Lowen, passed in Texas, and several French officers,顺利, it was an inspiring sight to see men in march, and they are men, men and so men, whom we have added, the dignity, needened to press all with their sterling worth, they are again those care-free boys, men and so men, never before carried anything heavier than cigarette, digging trenches, chopping down trees, carrying logs to clear their ground, and actually liking their 28-mile hike without a perceptible degree of fatigue. Well, that is just what they are doing. Their camp is well weathered. Camp Logan, and the present camp, which they have set up since being there. The boys are in good health and excellent spirits. Of course, there is a excellent camp, for they are not crying for what cannot be officers of the Eighth are a refined, intellectual and progressive lot of men, and they have proved that a regiment of the Eighth face men and the best results obtained. The girls of the company entertained all the officers who could get leave from the camp, and we all had such a "touch" with them. All send regards to friends and relatives in Chicago. They say if they go to France we will read about them in history, and we have no suspicion of a man who has been a Major Hunt says the present body of men is the bast the Eighth has ever assembled. Enclosed you will find a short poem, which I would like to have you use in your stage page. As ever, your friend. SALEM TUTT WHITNEY Smarter Set Co. The Poem TRAMP TALL TRAMP. (Dedicated to Col. Denison and the boys of the Eighth Illinois, in review at Houston, Tex.) Tramp, tramp, tramp, to the war drum's beat. Song: "The War" See, the soldier boys are marching in review through the crowd-thronged streets, where the Stars and Stripes are arching. Stalwart lads, just in manhood's prime, All flushed with the joy of living; Trained to fight in a foreign clime. They live they will soon be bearing. Yes; dead the soul that views the sight without patriotic thrilling; Cold the heart that visions the fight Witha, sad emotions filling. But the blar. of bugles and rousing cheers. Must they be we think of the mother's tears. Tramp, tramp, tramp to the war shears be beat. The soldier boys are marching. Side by side on the sun-bathed street, Where the Stars and Stripes are arching. Some are bare of the darker Race. Not tanned by the sun's embracing; Their names in history soon to trace So deep there'll be no erasing. Mean the soul to let thoughts of caste Take alight from these who are serv- ing The fast ('een forgetting the past). With a loyalty unswerving. But muffe the drums and stifle the cheers. For, oh, think of the flood of mother's tears! Tramp, tramp, tramp, to the war drum's beat. The soldier boys are marching. Side by side, through the crow- dow. Where the waving flags are arching For some, who march with head so high. They are no home returning; In France these boys will light and die. Oh, my hearts (they'll leave a-yearning! Our boys will gain the victory. But think of the blood and slaying And yet, if it lifts humanity, Think not of the price we paying Hush the wild huzzahs, the exulting cheers.

The Defender Health Editor Addresses Grace Lyceum "The Call of the Hour" was the subject of Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, health editor of the Chicago Defender, and People's Lyceum Sunday. It was the third time that Dr. Williams had addressed the Lyceum and he was accorded the first time he spoke there. The theme of his speech was the Race was on trial. That at this period he needs to be more assertive; that people should think of the fellow who is down, who must be saved in order that all must be saved. He said the Race should show self-denial in dress, food, drink, cabaret and theaters and that practical economy was the foundation of preparation, he named the editor of the Defender as coming to this city some years ago, a practical printer, his newspaper the World's Greatest Weekly.

It is pointed out that while these conditions have come through the Red Cross activities, the regiment has not been the beneficiary of the Red Cross thus Var. The ladies feel that the public, through them, is comfortable as possible and to that end have arranged this benefit. The proceeds will go to purchase Nool, knit cloth and toilet articles for the kits. The 200 members are making sleewel less sweaters, socks, 'wrist bands and helmets for our boys'.

Sadness prevailed (for I had been to the depot with her to see him off to Rockford), and having failed in every lesson, he lessened her sorrow, nothing daunted, I suggested that we stop and see aunt Jack of Shropshire, as familiarly called by all who know her) and beg for a cup of coffee, as she also knows how to make. JOHN H. BURKE Aunt Rachel's curiosity was aroused by the tear-stained face she had found out having found out the cause, she, in her mother way, tried to console the cause, she, in her motherly way, tried to console her, but the story is best told in her own words: "Why, honey, you must not feel bad, for if you had given up your husband fifty odd years ago, when the Yankees and rebels fought, then you would have cried sure enough. I was nothing but a strip of a girl then, for I was born in Christian county, Kentucky, in 1849, and was refugeed to Virginia in 1862. "My mother belonged to old Colonel Hart, a rebel, and he had a horse named Buckshy, and he trained Buckshy, and a cave in the mountains and, when he came to our plantation the old Colonel jumped in the saddle and stood up in the sturps and headed for the mountains, and the Yankees were chasing him and held him half, but Buckshy carried him safely to the cave, and they escaped that night. "Oh, but there was some singing and dancing amongst the men that day when the Yankees asked them, 'Don't carry the carriage with honey, they all wanted to go and they all went. "They took all the meat, from the meat-house, and stored their provisions in the Yankees wagons, and some but none of them were lightless, for they were all just full of fight, and they had to walk, too, but were proud of the opportunity to do so. "There were cries in those times, honey, for they were glad for the men to fight for Abe Lincoln. "I climbed in the wagon, too, but mother made me get out. The soldiers today are traveling in steam clothes, and a band of music, so don't worry the Colored men are going to help the United States massacre the Germans, just like they helped the Yankees whip the robels." I looked at my friend, and she was actually laughing, for Mrs. Roy had displeased the gloom from her brow. I was a woman, and I cared for her age, and does laundry care for herself and boys, a grandchild and great-grandchild. She lives at:2228 Dearborn street, and although her position in life is an humble one, her ability to cheat is compulsive. Her crestfulness is second to her beauty. First night at the opera! Amber lights, accentuated by gold settings; greens and blues of peacocks, listens to the murmuring voices, Schonberger in mind of dissonances; stately ladies, warm velvets and luxurious furs; a raised baton and Masiero Campanini has launched Choreographer in history as the most remarkable in the world. Isabella instead of Alda! The pessimism in the audience, Campanini a man with perspective, faith in himself and his co-workers led him to victory. The opera of Isabella, in short, was written with perspectivism, self with the story of the old country tale of which Lady Godiva (Isabella) is the heroine. She is doomed to ride the streets at a high noon, even more distressing, wear a leaf, because of disobedience to her father for not loving the man he had chosen for her. But she was the little role she the same success of last year, with the added attraction of a first night to strengthen it. Her voice was ringing and clear, lyric but dramatic in the open, displaying technical sure and easy. The other singers came in for their share of the success, and the first night opened a new epoch in the world of opera. Tuesday night 'Lucia di Lammermoor' was offered, with Galli Curul, Crimil and Rimil in the stellar roles. The Chicago Opera company certainly made history, in that it had practically made opera, and it can now gain the season and one to welcome Galli Curul. Lucia was a fitting medium for her, as no opera displays a better aria than the mad scene, and she has been with ease in that infinitable bant canto style which rightfully belongs to her. Particularly limpid and entrenching was the aria "Spargi d'Amaro Planto" on My Grave a flower", which evoked the feeling of a plague and which should be in the repertoire of each singer, for it is a splendid bit of musical artistry, and less exacting than the mad scene. Crimi struck a thin line with the melodic helover" (To Earth I Bid a Last Farewell") and outscooted Caruso, bringing a terrific demonstration and placing him with the front rank of some interesting work. THE SYMPHONY One manache the wealth of music each concert brings the Chicago Symphony Orchestra struck the average listener as the most wonderful of the season. Shakowsky's to, with symphony was the sparkling comet of the evening, leaving a burning trail, in which followed the satellites, less brilliant, but serving to make the program one magnitude in the constellation of music. To me it was a night of nights, bringing to mind my first hearing of a symphony orchestra. When a child my teacher, N. Clark Smith, took me to hear this orchestra of which I write, under the direction then of Theodore Thomas, and I remember how, with the surging emotions of the players, I too, felt the enthusiasm that held the audience enraptured, and when the last song of each instrument had gone I was crying softly, not knowing why, but cognizant of but one thing—supreme joy. To confess a weakness is but a stepping stone to strength, and when the Tschalkowsky symphony was played I found myself the same child again, adoring music and experiencing the same supreme joy. The overture to a fantastic comedy, Knoblauch's "The Faun," by Eric De Lamarter, was a delightful opening number, short and pretty, in a lifting six-eighth time and by the applause pleasing to all. As Mr. De Lamarter, trig, debonair and wearing a monocle, came out to acknowledge the tribute to his work, one was amazed at his refreshing boyhood. He was revealed by the program and making him a picturesque figure, with the audience bowing at the fountain of youth as shown in his delightful personality and refreshing composition. He recitals at the Fourth Presbyterian church, of which he is organist, are interesting affairs during the winter In referring to the Tschalkowsky symphony and the other number as stars, Lladoy's "Lo Lec Enchante" color the violin impressionistic. Anatole Lladoy is a Russian, born in Petrograd in 1855, as an exponent of the moderns, as his teachers would suggest—a pupil of Johansen in counterpoint and fugue composition, and a master of strumentation. The work was a short study, void of definite form, beautiful to ears cultured in the various modes—or should I say moods?—of art and music. The number to be placed among the galaxy of stars of the night's productions. Mr. Stock gave his musicians a breathing moment before launching, and he served to give the hearers a moment to prepare themselves for a master work. Mr. Borsowski, writer of the programmatic material in concerts, and of the works of this work, so I purchased the score two weeks before the production, reading and re-reading it, making tone and rhythm, and other would sound, until I felt something up to receiving it. The work was beyond my most, sanguine expectations, and when the scherzo house went mad, and when the scherzo was completed the applause was deafening and continuous, the players being forced to acknowledge the knowledge given in the preceding. They well deserved the honor, for it was an exacting, allogro movement, crisp and trenchant, but the music was both marvelous and audacious. Teachikowsky, was born in Wotkinsk, Russia, in 1840, and died at Petrograd in 1893. His fourth symphony, Op. 1877, was composed of profound mental depression, is something of a psychological paradox, and, like Beethoven's second symphony, might be described as a heroic melody, after a maiming single come thirty-seven years, and married a woman whom he described as no longer young and with whom he was not the least. in love, he was not the least. in love, and went to the home of his brother, Anatole, where he was confined to his bed for forty-eight hours in a state of mental agony. A little later he met his children and a like abundance of women, allowing him 6,000 rubles a year, enabled him to devote his time to composing instead of teaching. They grew to be stunner friends. But a peculiar met, but kept up an intimate correspondence. It was during this series of affairs that he wrote the fourth symphony, and it portrayed the moods of the people, the takes of the p. and distracted by the love of the present. Strange what copopolympics music makes of us. The labyrinth to my left had sat stoically through the five concerts until this symphony was read, then Miss Babora, killed in New York building crash Thursday, Nov. 8. with no thought, evidently, of the usual stand of the Anglo-Saxon, began an animated discussion of the fine art of the sculpture and the tenal qualities of the various instruments. Truly Tezhakowsky achieved. an. ethical success as well as art. an. ethical success as well as gazing-through the spirit of art and saw the soul instead of the art and saw the soul instead of the art. The D minor concerto for piano, by MacDowell, was interpreted by Harold Clement, an internationally trained musician. It was clearly decisive reading, but either the orchestra was too forte or the piano did not feel the music. There were several instances of in-ordination at the climaxes which did not detract from his technique but to dull an otherwise splendid reading. Dovakar's Scherzo Capriccioson was the piece de resistance of the program and was thoroughly enjoyed. The music was known because of his fifth symphony, or "New World," as it is called, in which he utilized Negro folk songs as his theme. Items of interest next week will be the D minor symphony by. Cesar Franck and an aria from the "Pearl of Love" song by Miss Mabel Garrison, formerly of the Chicago Grand Opera company. ATTENTION! THE DRIVE!

White Mother Deserts Her Children Because of Color Little Herbert and "Buddie" Holiday are without a home and mother's love because Mrs. Grace Holiday, 7272 Winston avenue, has cast them out of school. Mrs. Holiday says that the father is not a white man. Now the children are in charge of the Juvenile court and a search for a decent home will be made for them when the case is decided before Judge Arnold. Mrs. Holliday married George Holliday twelve years ago when the latter was employed as a city policeman in Atlanta, Ga., and it is claimed that he posed as a Spaniard. Two young boys came to make the life happy of this couple, but, it is alleged, that through some ruse she accused her husband of being a member of the Race. Mrs. Holliday while a student of Atlanta is said to have mingled freely with the relatives of her husband, but when the influence of her mother and sister began to arouse her prejudice she decided to leave her husband and cast the children from her memory. Little by little she practiced the art of forgetfulness so that she has learned to completely rld herself of the children's company. Herbert was found two weeks ago in the streets of Chicago by a patrolman and taken to the Dearborn station, where Mrs. L. M. Covington, 556 East Thirty-sixth Street, a social worker, interested herself in the case. Herbert told Mrs. Covington that he had been sent to his mother by his grandmother, who lived in Atlanta, Ga.

Last night was some more night. Truly a night among.knights. More fan was never on hand at the ST. A gang of us sang a selection to the tune of "Joan of Arc," we sang it "Cold and Dark." Posely the nun looks like we heard an epiphany sprung at the door. We did not get sleep until 8:30; that is, the rest of the boys didn't; but, believe me, I can tell you every time the train stopped, the train stopped, the stopping brings on more talk. This train's gait reminds me of a cross between a State street car and a Ford. It stops every time the train stops, the stopping jest. I was ever joked. Really, this train runs five miles and then backs up four and one-half miles. We have been on this train for seventeen hours. Every fellow except Big Ham (Lemuel McDougal) was up by 6:30 this morning and every dude in the car was up by 6:30. The dude by 6:30. Here is the finish on the bottom line. No fatalities. Oct. 13, 1917, 12:30 p. m. St. Louis, 13 miles to go. Have put in one line morning, Breakfast at 3:40 a.m.朝拜 of leather steak, fried potatoes, rings of coffee, and apple butter. Tried to write some letters, but couldn't somehow. After breakfast I watched the train roll by. We've traveled pretty fair fare to a new engineer. I've just found out why we didn't make very good time yesterday. The engineer was an old one, who knew all of the "places" he came to one, he'd stop. When he'd remember that he he'd skipped a stop, why, he'd go back. We made our first water stop just now. We needed to leave the train for about an hour. He has the boys visited and bought out the Y. M. C. A. Isn't that a strange thing, though it may prove a good omen? The first place the boys went after breakfast was the Mitchell Yards Y. M. C. A. Now approaching East St. Louis. Perhaps we'll live through it. East St. Louis, Ill., Oct. 13, 1917. 3:40 p.m. The new engineer we acquired at the last stop now to know but one person in East St. Louis; he's been there all the afternoon. Among the Hills, Illinois. Oct. 13, 1917, 6:15 p. m. We've been traveling regularly, more or less since leaving East St. Louis. We've been traveling only to the only glimpse we got of St. Louis was a distant view of a tall white building on the corner of a tiny euro. How wish that everyone back home some see those bluffs just east of the railroad line, as we see them. The Peter Jones Film company (adv.) should locate ours in all the locals are all jolly, well fed and warm. We are beginning to feel the effects of the climate farther south. Very few of us are in our car, and those are here only because some of us stole them from the porter. Jonesboro, Ark., Oct. 14, 1917. Last night, after the arrival of fellows had gotten tuned up, we all sang a whole gang of songs. Some of them included "Memories," "Silver Threads Among the Gold," "Illnols," "The Light," "On," "On," "It Takes a Long Tax," "On," and "It Takes a Long Tax." Cago Girl to Make Me Lay My Khaki Down." After everyone tired of the gingling one bunch of us, consisting of six-month-old, and Ferry of the headquarters, the "Light" group of six-month-old, Connelly, Parks and myself, kept on the lookout for any light which would indicate a station. When we left East P.S. in the morning, we found a couple of regular engineers. Anyway, two windows went up and six heads poked out, yelling. "Cheer, cheer, the gang's come," said the two. "You'll be back soon. We'll wait for the next. So we'd show up." We were all piled in and all in but us. We were all piled in one lower, waiting for the next. "Cato," said we, "but for Socrates, we'll be up, too, to the windows down and go to bed. My bunkmates, Allen and Miller, were sound asleep when I went up." We were all up and down in the same way, who might be asleep when we reached. I turned with the best of intentions; even woke up Allen in order that I might look out of the window. "Cato," said we, "who were awake this morning? 7:28, we'll be up in Jonesboro; have no idea when we reached the city or when we crossed Miss Epp's river. That's a fine bunch of them, I think, and I'll be up next. None of them keeping travel with." We stopped at Jonesboro for water and who were sitting impatiently in our seats fatting for the cars to move (the guard couldn't allow us to go out of the door). "No, no," said we. Some noise. The only fell back in our train were the engineer, the cooks, the guards and Col. Denison. As I said before, we couldn't go out of them, and they were all in the same way, played two selections, and got out and time, however, some of the boys saw a sign over one of the station doors which read, "NO NEGROES ALLOW ME TO QUICKLY GET ME." The immediately entered and found two more. The light was then, and they were brought out and directed to remove the sign. When they refused they were chased clear through the station, which means that these gentlemen of color passed —world democracy—but let us insist that the Prussianism which infests the north, first be wiped out by the men million of our people in America and this great conflict, and these tweak awaken to sunder the shackles of status above which they must not hold. If we are to have a Black d BLACK. We want our own men that comes to them on the battlefield—We call every able-bodied man am need in this time of trial. We call song symbolizes her to be—"The the free." Let us, too, make America —world democracy—but let us insist that charity begins at home and that the Prussianism which infests the south, and to a great extent the north, first be wiped out by the men who call us to the colors. Twelve million of our people in America are watching the trend of events in this great conflict, and these twelve million people in America must awaken to sunder the shackles of prejudice which bind them to a fixed status above which they must not hope to rise. If we are to have a Black division, we demand that it be ALL BLACK. We want our own men to have the honor of victory if such comes to them on the battlefield—we accept the disgrace if they fail. We call every able-bodied man among us now to rally to his country's need in this time of trial. We call to our country to be the America the song symbolizes her to be—"The home of the brave and the land of the free." Let us, too, make America safe for democracy. THE VILLA BANDITS SIXTY FEDERAL TRAIN GUARDIAN severely wounded by Villa and his gang. It is too bad we withdrew our troops and had our followers under six feet paranently there with only a good foe in United States, and crimes, winked at by their government—if it made to show good faith. We had an opportunity to step in assistance their normal condition, but of letting by him, dipped doubly by many who knew the same strong, overwhelming force was the same protectorate it would seen lished over Mexico as was established over Mexico, which were a little occasion. Americans were withdrawn. With a stable government no fear we taught us that the president of today of today the pauper of tomorrow. Unicee's house in order as soon as it gets to toppy-turvy, and when thin there will never be a recurrence of this. SKYT FEDERAL TRAIN GUARDS were killed and scores of passengers saved by being killed by his and his gang of bandits in his latest train hold-up. It is too bad that he was killed immediately before putting this deserado and his followers under six feet of earth. Also there is parently there is none too good a feeling existing among Mexicans for the government persecuted in their domain against us are either winked at by their government—if it can be so called—or a feeble protest made to show good faith. We had an opportunity to step into Mexico and take control until things assumed their normal condition, but we withdrew and tried the experiment of hiring a lawyer to dispute the disputes. The feasibility of this plan was doubted by many who knew the people, and knew that some strong, overwhelming force was needed to bring it to trial. The tribune-protectorate, it would seem, could, with profit, have been established. The Mexican state was established over Haytı, Cuba and San Domingo. The task would have been to we are equal to the occasion. Americans have vast interests in Mexico that are not yet detected. With a stable government no fear would be entertained, but experience taught us that the president of today is the exile of tomorrow, the millionaire pauper of tomorrow. Undoubtedly our government will set Mexico's house in order to protect its hands. All the world, is topsy-turvy, and when things finally do get adjusted let us hope there will never be a recurrence of this inhumane war— through a dozen doors bearing the offending sign. After the band had finished the train and lit the fireweed we boarded. Before the stop the fellows were quiet enough, but now, having had their breakfast, they are growing noisy. Baraden, Ark., Oct. 14, 1917. 5:10 p. m. Soon after breakfast, we leaping we passed through Brinkley, Ark. Exactly 100 per cent of the residing population was at the station, as were seven summer boarders. There were no locked doors or citizens, but many well kept appearing persons were there. The one good impression of the town was a messy street driven by a nibbe feature young below, and three beautiful brownskins sitting in the rear of the car. 'Dje get me!' Beautiful. And we thought we left all the beautiful brownbs in Chn. We shot through a little station which bore the label "Faith." The thought was expressed and generally accepted that the next two would be "Hope" and "Charity." Those two failed to turn up; however, we just passed through a little burg which was, according to the label, "Meek." At 2:30 we pulled into Pine Bluff. We detrained and went through some calamities while the band played every piece it knew and nine others. We weren't allowed to leave the station, but there happened to be a large restaurant right at the train. Of course, our people weren't served there, and if any of our fellows didn't know it was because they couldn't read. Anyhow, one look at the place just before the train pulled out was sufficient to convince one that a restaurant had been bombed, burned out and then swept by a hurricane and flood. What's more, no one of the would-be patrons of Pine Bluff's official ham sandwich dispensary was hungry at meal time. This brings on more talk. Away back at Jonesboro this morning some poor cracker became angry and cussed out one of the Eighth boys. If the Germans win the war, destroy all histories of the past, and all histories relating to the present and the future. That man's relatives will remember the Eighth regiment until the 73rd of November, 2001. Yesterday was one more long, dreary afternoon for me. Sunday afternoon, a million miles from home, is no joke when that home means mother, father, sisters and all the associates that one holds dear. My one thought during the afternoon was: "This time last Sunday afternoon, what was doin'?" At dinner time I had myself a long over every detail of last Sunday's morning. Every yesterday we had a very palatable dish, composed of spaghetti, cheese, beans and almost anything that happened to be on hand. Didn't feel so good last night. Had to stand guard from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a. m. They can't make the hospital corps stand guard. At 10 o'clock we were stationed in Texarkana, at the state line. Soon afterward we crossed the line into Texas. Our train had to be cut to 10 p.m. and we had to go through much for the engine. The lead was too high, and we had to go through the hills. First thing this we pulled into Tyler, Tex. Everyday with any money got off to buy something to eat. Opposite the station was the chief grocery store, kept by a Chinaman (remember this store), surrounded by numerous lunch rooms. Possibly the people saw us coming; this fact was evinced by the raising of pieces and the removal of signs. When we walked on signs were in sight and we walked right in the main entrance and bourgeois out of every place in town. After we had all spent as much dough as we thought necessary we beat it for the train, to be followed by numerous young ladies who gave the boys oranges, apples, sandwiches and other good eats. Fine morning, fellow friends, nothing doing, so I'll quit writing, nothing doing. Teague, Tex., Oct. 15, 1917, 7:05 p. m. Fellows all are feeling rather blue this morning, but about 2 o'clock this afternoon we pulled into Corsicaana, the largest appearing town we've struck up with. We sent a young fellow to the store for eats. When he returned he had everything he was sent for except some canned goods. He explained that the store ordered that no sardines, salmon, or other items were to be sold to the soldiers. When the porter returned, heavily laden with cans of all descriptions, we all commenced to yell at him: "Come on in and buy some," "belong to us" etc. The young man who had gone to the store for us looked up at us and drewled: "Yo' all from the No'th, ain't yo' all?" When the porter up he had either to sell his sardines and buy some left with it on his hands. We stayed around town for a couple of hours and when we left we were all in better spirits. It is a strange thing, but when we left the fellows are all rather low spirited in the morning, but improve toward evening. After leaving Corsicana the roadbed became rather rocky. This started Carl Moore's war at Sheed's) to talking. He recalled the rocky and the camp at Blanco river. He said that the rocks were very numerous at said Blanco river. "For every rock on the ground, there was the face of the ground, two more would There were so many rocks that I could ist that charity begins at home and the south, and to a great extent the man who call us to the colors.

ODS were killed and scores of passengers gaged of bandits in his latest incarceration from Mexico before putting this hold-up. From Mexico before putting this hold-up of earth or behind prison walls. Applying existing among Mexicans for the in their domain against us are either can be so called—or a rebellie protest Mexico and take control until things are withdrew and tried the experiment sites. The feasibility of this plan was determined of the people, and knew that needed to be maintained of chaos, could, with profit, have been over Hayt, Cuba and San Domingo, more difficult, but we are equal to theats in Mexico that must be protected. Did he maintained, but experience has is the exile of tomorrow, the militarily doubted our government will set More its larger burden off its hands. All theats finally do get adjusted let us hope inhumane warfare— hardly get used to a bed when I got out of bed. I went to bed with rocks, the first night I spent at home. The next night I removed the rocks, and so on until I was back to normal. Colston Tex. Oct. 16, 1917 We here. All the fellows turned in early last night and slept well until 5:30 a.m. m., when we were awakened by the sounding of revelle, the first dressing hurriedly we gave up train, haversacked and beblanketrolled. We didn't move immediately, however, waiting for breakfast and a dinner dressing hurriedly we gave up train. While we were policing the band was playing, and say, maybe you think the boys don't spread themselves down here. Perhaps it's the air, but is it? They are certainly sound mighty good. They are word, the Seventh was on hand to meet them officially, as they expected, as it was during drill hours, but they were at the gates of the camp, nevertheless, are here safely in camp, with no fainting and very few sick men. I will give a brief account of the trip of the second section. The fellows in our section detained a Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, Tylers and Tennessean for own's. The only place where we did own's was our card of respects was Tyler. We had 48 hours after we left, train No. 2 pulled and commenced to unload. Evidently we had been thought enough of 'our folks' had passed away to make up a regiment. Anyhow, the signs were all back. One of the dark-skinned boys went into the Chinaman's upon being refused returned to the train. He belonged to Company E. (Mr. Abbott, if any man from Company E should walk into your office and ask anything, from a sheet of paper to your everything, but the printing press, give it to him--he'll get how. Fifteen minutes later Company E came out of Mr. Sing Much Blue's company and everything but the Chink and the book, a yellow, for instance, had a whole carton canned goods. After everything of value the way of eats had been added, also came "Blue Juice," the blackest fellow the carton proud of it, carrying the cash register. He walked up into Car E and, depositing the register upon the table, Dollar for dollar was out the contents. Dollar for dollar was out the interest. So far that is the largest gain any company has accomplished. When Chipman resumes business, however, I dare say that together discouraged. I dare say that the darkskinned, clarkl clad boy, coming his way he will either close up shop because his signs and be a "regular" storekeeper, the second section arrived a few hours later did and, seized by the band, marched into their new home. Having brought up the camp, we the camp, we will stop, because of the large amount of work to be done before the camp will be describable. THE BOYS HAVE GONE AWAY The boys have gone, yes, gone away! Twas hard to have them go; And many ero that parted. No'er knew they loved them go. Some mother, father, sister, brother. Some wife, some sweetheart, too.

Hurt Boarding Con Serving Car Saturday night, while endeavoring to board a southbound St. George street car. George W. Irving, 5711 St. George avenue, was struck by an unknown astrotist, sustaining a dislocated arm and a broken leg. He was rushed to the Provident hospital, where Drs. W. Williams and Hall rendered first aid. THE PROVIDENT HOSPITAL DRIVE The Provident hospital drive is meeting with great favor from the public. It is most gratifying to note the in- terest, enthusiasm and cooperation on the part of the young people, and on the part of all of the churches, in making special efforts to not only do their part, but also to part in raising money for this worthy institution. In the history of the institution have the Colored people manifested such enthusiasm in making such large subscriptions to DR. WILLIAMS the funds of Provident hospital. Rail- road men—porters, waiters, cooks and no mean amount. One young man said: "My salary is only $20 per month, but here is $10 for Provident hospital. My wife was operated on in the Providen- dation and she was never treated better in any place. It is a worthy institution and should be supported. I will solicit on my car and try to raise $25 or $50. Another railroad man, past 50 years of age, said: "I see you are making a drive to collect funds to reopen the doors of Provident Hospital dispensary, I am sorry that I had to be closed for a while. Please help with my good will and best wishes for an early opening of the doors of Provident Hospital dispensary. I regret that I can not give you more. I will take a book and collect what I AN OPEN LETTER To the Editor of Chicago Defender: My attention has been called to an article in last week's Issue of your paid-vice to the writer offers "advice" to the lad: "The question of the latter is those that have done, are doing or who may do business with. In that House handling furniture on easy-payment, I have written, with the queer purpose of not not specify any particular concern, his statements were broad and misleading enough to make me, as a business man of this neighborhood, having a easy-payment furniture in the house. I have written, with the queer purpose of not specific to the State St. Furniture Co. is concerned. Our business was established in its present location in 1883, almost twenty-five years ago, and in 1884, the present location, which is the years of contracts, has been the most of the years of such an section bringing us in contact with every phase of the business imaginable. Among our records are many according to the date of the application, and the according to agreement, but in the last three years we have accumulated an aggregate of over $14,000 in accounts which we have removed entirely from our ledgers, realizing the impossibility of the collection of the costs of the transactions, and in section 1884 of the Act, being good. We can also point with pride to the fact that our "poor-pay" customers have been very greatly in the minority, and that we have started the business with a very low interest. It seemed unlikely that further payments could be expected or in cases where actual attempts to illegally dispose of our goods were being made or other than to be paid would be possible. We have already no doubt anywhere that gives the amount of a latitude that our house does; in this statement we are backed by actual record, many of the accounts still being held by our own business, and the amount of the amount of all the count of illness, lack of employment and other misfortunes, extended time or reduced payments to any amount desired by our customers, accepting and keeping the cost of the work to be kept the contracts alive. We have gained the good will of thousands of the householders of Chicago, especially of the south side, and there are thousands whose original furniture and furniture, which are not in the hands of the owners and who are still staunch friends of our house and who would never dream of making purchases at any other in-staliment place. There are no "catch" in the business, and the cost of the work is to be' claim-solutely against our policies to re-claim furniture where there is the least reason to expect that a continuation of payments can be expected or where any some-day business can be, the most of the others. If the writer of a class of articles would make themselves specific there is no doubt that some good could come of the statements made, but that they should make their own business, and the costs of business as well as the ones for which their writings are intended is unjust as well as misleading. I have been a constant advertiser in the collection of the best local books, and I have justified in taking upon myself the privilege of protesting the indiscriminate attack referred to.

They say here that the members of the race committee are the time, so between crops, it might be a fine idea to grease all the rail fences and logs with something adhesive, thus keeping the fellows stick around, even though the weary bones were thoroughly engaged.

Provident hospital appreciate more the small subscriptions from a large number of people, accompanied by their good will and best wishes, than a large number of people, accompanied by an ent individual which amounts to many times the amount coming from the earnest well wishers of the institution. Public Meetings The writer addressed three large, enthusiastic meetings Sunday before last, in three different churches. The people attended these meetings in great enthusiasm, the purpose of hearing the history of Provident hospital and the reason why this drive is being made for the raising of funds. Last Sunday night he addressed a large enthusiastic meeting, in which standing room was available at the Provident church, on the north side, under the direction of Dr. Roberts and Rev. Harris pastor of the church. There was a good and kindly spirit manifested toward the institution. The Provident church described blanks, in order to have part in the making of contributions, this worthy institution. BANISH ALL FEARS! AWA WITH ALL FEARS OF PROVIDEN HOSPITAL AND TRAINING SCHOOL EVER CLOSING ITS DOORS! The institution is in better condition today than ever before, for the following reasons: The people understand now what Provident hospital has done and is doing in its existence, and to lay claim to the morality of the public for its support. The white and Colored people understand now the value of this institution and the importance it occupies in the community life of this great city; and they recognize its existence, its operation, its absolute value, the welfare and life of this great city. Why Did the Dispensary Close? Why Did the Dispensary Close? The dispensary closed for the reason that there was a large advance in the price, and in the price of help; and with this large advance in drugs, wages, etc. there came increased demands for assistance from this dispensary. Besides, the need for care for people were poured into this great city. Many of this number were unacquainted, many bankrupt, many had barely enough money to reach Chicago; many of these people were withdrawn from the bank for our lot and to say nothing of being able to pay doctors' bills or buy drugs. They knocked at the door of Provident Hospital discharged, opened, and they were received and cared for. All of these were means with which to care for these poor people. The funds of this institution grew low, the price of drugs advanced still higher, and the prices of drugs increased of the large and increased demands made upon it. “Let City Take Care of the People” “Oh, let the county and city take care of these new people,” is what you say, and “There is plenty of room in the county, city and state institutions which you can use to make you take such statements, are you sure of this radical statement? Are you very positive that any one can enter the County hospital and other institutions and receive free medical care?” “It is not very common for the people of this state, county and city to lead one year—long enough to become a citizen? Suppose you try to get some sick person, except there is some contagious disease, into some one of the state, county and city institutions and their members, and that you have to go on your own, you how long you have been in this city, county and state. And if you have not been here one year you cannot enter these institutions and receive medical care. There is no place where you can enter the county, city and state, and have but recently come amongst us, can get this medical care except at Provident hospital. You can be taken into some of the various institutions for clinical material; but the Colored Hospital is not the same as patients in any institution other than Provident in this city, except as clinical material for the purpose of teaching southerners, and only when brought in by men who happen to be in the public service. You have a very various institutions. At a later date we will give you an idea of the attitude of the management toward the Colored people of many of the most prominent, and at the same time of many of the most important, the Colored people. Say what you may, believe what you may without making an investigation, the Colored people get better nursing care, more medical care in Provident hospital than they can do in the public service. You know that this is reasonable to believe, because those managed by white people do not want to be bothered with Negro people, but as I said previously, they will accept you sometimes through courtesy of the public service. You know that though you are not welcome. Believe this or not. Please make an investigation or other hospitals and prove my statement to your entire satisfaction.” New Chemist for Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. 16.
