Charles Young, of the United States army, who has been stationed at his home in Wilberforce, Ohio, since his retirement from active military service, was a caller at the War Department this week. He was presented to Secretary of War Newton D. Baker by Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant. Mrs. Burns' Letter. Here is a letter that is certain to prove of interest to people in this vicinity, as cases of this sort occur in almost every neighborhood, and people should know what to do in like circumstances: Savannah, Mo., Oct. 12, 1916. "I used a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy about nine years ago and it cured of flux (dysentery). I had another attack of the same complaint three or four years ago and a few doses of this remedy cured me. I have recommended Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy to dozens of people since I first used it." EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. Arriving in Mason City, that aggressive business metropolis of northern Iowa which had 10 years ago only four or five families of colored citizens, now fully 350 colored people are here. They have one of the nicest new modern churches, the M. E., finished about 3 years ago, all paid for. They have been able to buy a house c² 8 rooms and moved upon a part of the church ground and I am told that with the loyal aid of the best white people it is almost out of debt. Our old friend, Rev. L. Woolrich, formerly pastor of the Asbury M. E. church of Des Moines, is their efficient pastor. They have several secret orders here, the leading one is the Masonic Lodge. Mr. J. D. Reeler, one of the pioneers here, formerly of Des Moines, is still following his trade and doing well. Ye Editor dined with him at their nice home in the out edge of the city. He owns some fine breed of chickens. R. W. Brown is still working at the factory. Mr. O. Cabbell still lives at 622 N. E. 4th. He is a hustler. He raises hundreds of chickens, also a nice truck garden at odd hours. Mr. Walter Davis, formerly of Ottumwa, is still in the shoe shining parlor, doing well. Mr. L. Garrette is doing well. A. L. Renix, formerly of Des Moines, is working at the same place. He owns a good home in the east part of the city. H. T. Trombles, a new man from the south, has bought a beautiful modern home at 609 S. Jackson, in a white district. Mr. Frank Lee is doing well, as is also the two Spencer brothers, who are successful cement contractors. They have been in business here only about five years, but have the entire respect of the leading business men here. They are brothers to John Spencer, a cement contractor in Grinnell. Henry Sims is one of our substantial citizens here. He lives with Mrs. F. Wright and her mother, who owns a beautiful property in the southeastern part of the city. Mrs. Wright is a very deserving lady. She is now the Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star here. They have a fine garden. Mr. V. Warren is doing nicely. Mrs. Ida Smith and husband, who live just outside of the city limits on a truck farm, is the city scavenger and doing well. He runs several teams and has lots of hogs. His wife has now about 500 young chickens, the best record that I have seen this year in June. Rev. E. J. Penney, who lives with his son-in-law, Mr. Sratton, who is also truck farming, is doing well. Mrs. Robt. Caldwell is still living at the same place, doing nicely. Mr. W. L. Wigginton will chronicle the news this year from Mason City, as our news agent, Mr. H. F. Mericle, is still running his torsional parlor, also a confectionary store. They have a nice trade. A Mr. Brown is just opening a new billiard and pool room and barber shop in the heart of the business district, which when opened will be a great credit to our race, as he is a young man of business ability. I was told that he bought a liberty loan bond from our government of $5,000.00, the largest yet that I know to have been purchased in Iowa by a colored man. We next pulled into Waterloo, which in many respects is similar to Mason City. It is one of the largest cities in north central Iowa, very beautifully located on the Black Hawk river. About eight years ago she only had about three colored families. Now fully 400 colored people live here. They, like those of Mason City, are from the Southland, working in the Illinois work shop and other factories. Mrs. S. C. Smith, 110 W. Mullen St., is the oldest in point of residence. She owns a beautiful modern home. She has one daughter who is a graduate from the State Normal School and is now a teacher in the South. Mrs. Smith recently married, her former husband having died several years ago. They have two churches, the A. M. E., pastored by Rev. _____, and the Baptist, pastored by our old friend, Rev. J. W. Bowels, who is doing nicely. They have valuable property, as also do the A. M. E. church. The Masonic Lodge set up by John L. Thompson about four years ago when he was Grand Master, have bought a lot and built a Masonic hall which is a credit to the city, to the order and to the race. J. D. Hopkins, formerly from Ottumwa, owns a restaurant, barber shop and pool hall, having a good trade. The Busy Bee restaurant is one owned by Mr. L. S. Findley, who also runs a rooming house. Mr. and Mrs. C. Bonight are still here at the same place. A N. Speed owns a nice home, 2151 Lafayette St. We secured more new subscribers in this city than any other except Cedar Rapids, who adds 20; 19 new ones join the Bystander subscription family from here. We went to the 'Parlor City,' Cedar Rapids, on the interurban railway. (To be continued.) LAURENCE C. JONES PUSHING TO THE FRONT.

The biggest day of the Chautauqua is the afternoon Prof. Jones speaks, the biggest night of the seven, the night the Williams singers appear. Hundreds of white people rush up after the lecture to shake hands with Prof. Jones and to tell him that they are so glad to hear the other side of the Negro question, after hearing so many Southern demagogues discuss it from their own viewpoint.

Here is a letter that is certain to prove of interest to people in this vicinity, as cases of this sort occur in almost every neighborhood, and people should know what to do in like circumstances: Savannah, Mo., Oct. 12, 1916. "I used a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy about nine years ago and it cured of flux (dysentery). I had another attack of the same complaint three or four years ago and a few doses of this remedy cured me. I have recommended Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy to dozens of people since I first used it." EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. By John L. Thompson Arriving in Mason City, that aggressive business metropolis of northern Iowa which had 10 years ago only four or five families of colored citizens, now fully 350 colored people are here. They have one of the nicest new modern churches, the M. E., finished about 3 years ago, all paid for. They have been able to buy a house of 8 rooms and moved upon a part of the church ground and I am told that with the loyal aid of the best white people it is almost out of debt. Our old friend, Rev. L. Woolrich, formerly pastor of the Asbury M. E. church of Des Moines, is their efficient pastor. They have several secret orders here, the leading one is the Masonic Lodge, Mr. J. D. Reeler, one of the pioneers here, formerly of Des Moines, is still following his trade and doing well. Ye Editor dined with him at their nice home in the out edge of the city. He owns some fine breed of chickens. R. W. Brown is still working at the factory. Mr. O. Cabbell still lives at 622 N. E. 4th. He is a hustler. He raises hundreds of chickens, also a nice truck garden at odd hours. Mr. Walter Davis, formerly of Ottumwa, is still in the shoe shining parlor, doing well. Mr. L. Garrette is doing well. A. L. Renix, formerly of Des Moines, is working at the same place. He owns a good home in the east part of the city. H. T. Trombles, a new man from the south, has bought a beautiful modern home at 609 S. Jackson, in a white district. Mr. Frank Lee is doing well, as is also the two Spencer brothers, who are successful cement contractors. They have been in business here only about five years, but have the entire respect of the leading business men here. They are brothers to John Spencer, a cement contractor in Grinnell. Henry Sims is one of our substantial citizens here. He lives with Mrs. F. Wright and her mother, who owns a beautiful property in the southeastern part of the city. Mrs. Wright is a very deserving lady. She is now the Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star here. They have a fine garden. Mr. V. Warren is doing nicely. Mrs. Ida Smith and husband, who live just outside of the city limits on a truck farm, is the city scavenger and doing well. He runs several teams and has lots of hogs. His wife has now about 500 young chickens, the best record that I have seen this year in June. Rev. E. J. Penney, who lives with his son-in-law, Mr. Scratton, who is also truck farming, is doing well. Mrs. Robt. Caldwell is still living at the same place, doing nicely. Mr. W. L. Wigginton will chronicle the news this year from Mason City, as our news agent, Mr. H. F. Mericle, is still running his torsional parlor, also a confectionary store. They have a nice trade. A Mr. Brown is just opening a new billiard and pool room and barber shop in the heart of the business district, which when opened will be a great credit to our race, as he is a young man of business ability. I was told that he bought a liberty loan bond from our government of $5,000.00, the largest yet that I know to have been purchased in Iowa by a colored man. We next pulled into Waterloo, which in many respects is similar to Mason City. It is one of the largest cities in north central Iowa, very beautifully located on the Black Hawk river. About eight years ago she only had about three colored families. Now fully 400 colored people live here. They, like those of Mason City, are from the Southland, working in the Illinois work shop and other factories. Mrs. S. C. Smith, 110 W. Mullen St., is the oldest in point of residence. She owns a beautiful modern home. She has one daughter who is a graduate from the State Normal School and is now a teacher in the South. Mrs. Smith recently married, her former husband having died several years ago. They have two churches, the A. M. E., pastored by Rev. _____, and the Baptist, pastored by our old friend, Rev. J. W. Bowels, who is doing nicely. They have valuable property, as also do the A. M. E. church. The Masonic Lodge set up by John L. Thompson about four years ago when he was Grand Master, have bought a lot and built a Masonic hall which is a credit to the city, to the order and to the race. J. D. Hopkins, formerly from Ottumwa, owns a restaurant, barber shop and pool hall, having a good trade. The Busy Bee restaurant is one owned by Mr. L. S. Findley, who also runs a rooming house. Mr. and Mrs. C. Bonight are still here at the same place. A. N. Speed owns a nice home, 2151 Lafayette St. We secured more new subscribers in this city than any other except Cedar Rapids, who adds 20; 19 new ones join the Bystander subscription family from here. We went to the "Parlor City," Cedar Rapids, on the interurban railway. (To be continued.) LAURENCE C. JONES PUSHING TO THE FRONT. Rises in Life from Blacking Boots and Selling Newspapers to Chautauqua Lecturer, Receiving $150 a Week With Contract for Fourteen Weeks to Talk One Hour Each Day to Thousands of White People. For the first time in many years the Redpath-Vawter Chautauqua system is featuring colored talent. Prof. Laurence C. Jones as lecturer and the Williams Jubilee Singers appear on the fourth day of the Chautauqua operated by that system. The singers give a half hour prelude in the afternoon, and Prof. Jones speaks at three. In the evening the singers give a full program. The biggest day of the Chautauqua is the afternoon Prof. Jones speaks, the biggest night of the seven, the night the Williams singers appear. Hundreds of white people rush up after the lecture to shake hands with Prof. Jones and to tell him that they are so glad to hear the other side of the Negro question, after hearing so many Southern demagogues discuss it from their own viewpoint. The following is the balance of the Iowa schedule, they then go into Missouri for a month: July 12—Northwood, Iowa. July 13—Charles City, Iowa. July 14—Osage, Iowa. July 15—Webster City, Iowa.

Handy Wright, son of Mrs. Jessie The Best advertising medium to rech colored people in the west Wright, died at his home June 27. Death came after an illness of three months. He met the death angel calmly and sweetly, telling his mother and friends at his bedside, don't worrq, pleading with mamma, "Don't worry, I am going home to Jesus this morning."

THE GREAT AMERICAN ARMY. ~ when all the difficulties om Doth sets are duly considered it is fairly certain that the military historians of the fu: ture will give America far greater credit for rushing the first million troops to France, at. this unparalleled war erisis, than to the German leaders ‘for the magnitude of their concentra- ‘tion of men and materials on the west front. No such feat of transportation ‘han ever before been regarded ax possi: ‘ble. And it is the more remarkable in ‘view of the fact that America was at the same time relied upon by Europe fot such vast quantities of food and of military materials. It would require a volume of # thousand pages to tell in any detail the story of this transfer of ‘Americans to Europe—men and boys ‘who a year ago for the most part were quite ignorant of military matters and were scattered acrom this peaceful con- tinent, engaged in many pursuits, or in none, and living in every town and county of our forty-eight stater. Nor are they merely an assemblage of hu- man material in uniforms—a mob of homesick youths without diseipline or technical requirements. ‘Their average physical quality in exceptionally good; their initiative and morale are probably equal to those of any other like number of men in any army; and their disel- pline and technieal training are amaz- ingly complete for a body of soldiery that hax as yet had so little experience under fire. ‘The process of associating them temporarily with the French and British armies (‘‘brigading’’) is very rapidly supplying this need of actual ex. perience. Already the Americans in France—not for 1919, as we had prom ined, but for 1918—are as solid a reality as any reinforcements ever were in critical campaign.

Why We Fight NoS a Become Germeny Messcee the ‘Freedom of the World and Russia (Can 20 Longer Resist Sey Se See ce wary of the War Commitice of Because it is a war for freedom more troly than ever before was a war fought for the Uberty of man. In times past, {t is true, men have fought for freedom from oppressors. Sometimes they bare won and sometimes they have lost. But always there has been ‘a place In this big world where those who had lost in the strugle at home ‘might go and find = country where they might enjoy the liberty they loved. ‘Now all is aifferent. If the forces which are fighting for freedom In this war are defeated, there will be D0 place in the whole world to which they may go to find a refuge from Pros sian domination. Every land under the sun will be directly or indirectly under control of the victor; ‘and if the victor {s autocracy, freedom per- tshes. ‘The tand where freedom ts most tm- minently menaced by the legions of Prussian autocracy, at this moment, is the land where unwonted freedom temporarily has run riot and has lost the power to fight for itself—Russia. We are fighting for the freedom of Russia, and must continue to fight for (t until Russia learns what freedom means, and Is again able to fight. . If we do not, freedom will die {n Russia; Prussian autocracy will rule and ex- ploit the country for tts own benefit; and the very forces which overthrew the czar will be turned against the freedom not only of themselves, but of other lands. In years gone by, when the forces of revolntion were showing themselves here and there in Russia, they had the sympathy of America in spite of the methods of terrorism of which we did not approve. When the czar and the katser, leaders of autocracy, were locked in a death grapple, Russia still had our sympathy, because she was fighting on the side of those who were seeking to safeguard the world from Prossian militarism. ‘When the czar was deposed over night American feelings were mixed. ‘There was Joy at the downfall of an ela, and sometimes cruel autocracy. but there was fear that Russia would become too disorganized’ to fight fur- ther, coupled with the thought that per- haps the revolution bad come too soon to be effeetive. {Then followed the brief regime of Kerensky, when It began to look as though freedom in Russia might be an preanized freedom, prepared to Axht for its rights, and all America hailed the Russion revolution as a blessing. Tt had become absolutely correct to say that the war was a war of democ- racy against autocracy. No pro-Ger- man could longer point to the czar, whenever an argument arose. Finatly came the bolshevikl revolu- tion, in which Kerensky was over- thrown. Russian industry and Rus- slan scclety were disorganized, and Russlan armies ceased to fight. The Kaiser's armies pressed on unopposed, took what they desired In spite of @ signed peace, and Russia appeared to be about to pass completely under con- trol of Germany. America stood aghast at the prank freedom had played, and American opinion turned largely against Russix, but thinking men refused to give up hope. Rus sig was and still {s Incapable of offer. Ing resistance, but Russia fs not re signed to autocracy. It devolves upon ‘others to fight for the freedom Rus aia mast have. ‘The experience of other nections has been that men who loved freedom were willing te fight for It, and to die for it ff necessary. The Russian at- titude of nonresistance was something new In the world, and is Lard to un- derstand. The bolshevikt répresent- ‘ed the extreme {dea of liberty. To them freedom*meant not the right of the majority. to choose their form of government, but the right of the Indl- vidual to be free from all forms of governmental restraint. ‘They would tear down the old order completely, at one stroke, and set up the mil- tenlum. ‘They wold divide the land, the factorles and the tools among the workers, and have no masters hence- forth. Even in Russla, however, there were dissenters, Some took up arms; and the bolshevikl, who fought the Ger nigas not at all, fought thelr brothers most ferociously. ‘The result wag ar archy, Inwlessness, maseacre, the dis- organization of the raliways and the failure of the food supply. The mil- lenfum refused to come at the mere decree of the bolsheviki, It was shown that there raust be organization and government of some sort. Russ'a will not longer fight side by side with her zormer allies.
