Iowa State Bystander

THE BYSTANDER State Capitol Blvd Historia Ross XXV No.22 Taukegee, Ala., Nov. 16.—Thursday, November 14, marked the Third Anniversary of the death of Booker T. Washington, founder and first principal of Tuskegee Institute. At the regular Chapel exercises held at the Institute last Sunday night, Dr. Robert R. Moton, present Principal of the Institute, delivered a brief, but touching address on the life of Dr. Washington. He said among other things: "Booker Washington was a man with faith in his own race, in the white race; in the North, in the South; in himself and in his God. Is there anything better worth doing, young people, than to give your lives to service? There is nothing more worth while than to give yourselves to the service of your fellowmen. It does not make any difference who. Crowns and thrones may perish and will. They are perishing. Selfishness will perish. Only virtue and honesty and unselfishness will live forever. Love that suffereth, is kind, is not puffed up, vaunteth not itself. Love will never fail, and love permeated Booker Washington; comforted, directed and guided him in all of the great work God permitted him to do for you and for me." Dr. Moton concluded his remarks with a strong appeal in behalf of the War Work Campaign which was launched at the Institute as follows: "What a wonderful privilege, what a wonderful opportunity you and I have! Nobody has a greater chance to serve where service is most needed than is true of the students and workers of Tuskegee Institute. What a wonderful chance you and I have during this war, during this DRIVE, this Wark Work Drive to help the boys over yonder; all those who may go and those who remain for a while. What a wonderful chance for service we have, and you ought to thank God every night of our lives and every morning for your mothers and fathers, your country, for Booker Washington and Tuskegee Institute." COUNOIL BLUFFS NEWS (Special to Brustander) There will be a Thanksgiving dinner at the Bethel A M. E. church, given by the stewards and the trustees, and also a musical program at night furnished by the tales of the church. Rev. Rhonenee and his little son Charles made a business trip to Glenwood, Iowa, Friday and returned home Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Madison, the beloved mother of Mrs. A. Gamble, passed away Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The funeral was held Friday at 2:30 p. m., conducted by Rev. Rhonenee. Mr. Chauncey Herndon is improving from his illness. Mrs. A. C. Stewart has been down with the flu. She is up again, but not able to get out yet. Miss Ethel Richardson is at 308 14th Ave. Her friends are very glad to welcome her home again. Mrs. Ida Myers has returned from Kansas, where she has been visiting sick relatives. We have in our city Miss Hazel Funches of Glenwood, Iowa, who will enter the business college in our city. Rev. J. P. Jackson, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church, is having an all the week rayy, which will close next Sunday night, and there will be a union service by all the people Thanksgiving morning at 11 o'clock. Rev. Jackson is asking everybody to help them in getting in their new church. They are expecting the churches from Omaha to be with them next Sunday, the 24th. Miss Hazel Funches was refused at the Puryear School of Business of Council Bluffs, Iowa. F. J. Purpear and J. H. Richart, who operate the school, show an example of the true (?) democracy that exists in the hearts of some individuals in Council Bluffs as shown in the case of Hazel Funches, a colored girls who resides in Glenwood, Iowa. After having completed a four year course in the Glenwood schools, and wishing to take a business course in some such school, she wrote to the Puryear School of Business asking them if they enrolled colored students in their school. Later she received a letter from them saying that the fact that a student was colored made no difference to tehm. Coming to Council Bluffs in October, Hazel proceeded to make arrangements with them for the purpose of becoming a student in their school. They assured her it would be perfectly all right for her to become a student at any time. A few days ago she received a letter from them saying it would be impossible for them at the present to receive her as a student, but hoped to be able to enroll later. Coming to Council Bluffs to determine just what they meant by "later," she was told by them they would be unable to enroll her rat any time. After explaining this to Hazel they heaped insult upon injury by asking her to shake hands, which Hazel refused to do. Is this the reward the colored people are to accept for the great part they have played in this recent war? "She has taken out a scholarship at the Royles College, a school that believes in giving anyone a chance. Rev. M. B. Bhanenace and other citizens of Council Bluffs called the city officials in question about it. DES MOINES, 1OWA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1918. AND YOU WILL BE HELP PENDLETON AVE. ST. PERDINAND AVE.

The house at Camp Dodge is the seventh hostess house to be opened for the use of visitors to colored troops. The other six already in use are at Camps Funston, Sherman, Upton, Dix, Gordon and Jackson. Houses nearly completed are at Camps Grant, Taylor, Meade, Lee, Alexander, Humphries, Pike, Greene and Travis. These are expected to open before January 1. There are workers already stationed at some of these camps, bravely enduring the discomforts of temporary quarters for the sake of the women to whom they can minister in many ways even before the permanent houses are finished. All of these houses are staffed by race women, carefully selected and trained—for the responsibilities of camp work for women are not light and much depends upon the initiative and judgment, the dignity and wholesome Christianity of the "hostesses." At Camp Dodge, Miss Virginia Robinson is executive hostess; Mrs. Mary Dixon, cafeteria hostess; Mrs. W. J. Yerby, information hostess, and Mrs. W. H. Brooks, assistant hostess. The "titles" of the hostesses indicate (though in small measure) the function of the hostess houses. They are built and furnished by the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. to be the place in camp where women relatives and friends of soldiers may meet their men folks under proper conditions. The wide porches and ample living rooms afford plenty of space for the family groups, and the tete-a-tetes of the soldier boy and his sweetheart. In the cafeteria they may be served a substantial meal or the "extras" that supplement the soldier's mess. In the rest room the weary women who come long distances to see their boys may find a comfortable couch; and the mother who has brought her baby may find a crib in which the youngster may nap while the information hostess at the desk outside is getting a message to "Daddy" that he is wanted at the hostess house. In case of illness or some other grave emergency a woman may remain over night in the hostess house, but unless some such serious emergency arises all visitors are required to be out of the house by five o'clock. While its first duty is to the women visitors, the hostess house is also privileged to supply the home touch to camp life. The soldiers are always welcome, even when accompanied by relatives and friends. The comfortable chairs and settees, the writing tables, the books, the piano are all at their disposal. The draperies, floor lamps and potted plants emphasize the hominess of the place and the hostesses are always ready with the word of cheer, or advice, or just plain friendship that the soldier boy may need. ```markdown ``` The Best advertising medium to rech colored people in the west Price Five Cents Many and various are the requests that come to the hostesses, some that tax their ingenuity, but so far as we can hear, no legitimate request has gone unfulfilled. It may be a wedding to arrange (including the finding of a preacher), or a transferred man to trace; a letter to write or one to read, a partner at checkers wanted; a boy to be taught to read or write; a baby to be cared for; the mother of a sick boy to be comforted; transportation to be secured for a woman returning to her distant home; a feast to be arranged; mending or shopping to be done, etc., etc. The hostess is always ready to smilingly help in any way she can. Military etiquette is waived in the hostess house so that officers and enlisted men alike may feel that it is THE one place in camp where their women folks may go without any question.

On account of the epidemic of influenza the funeral of Mrs. Laura Jones was very private. Very appropriate services were held at the city cemetery, conducted by Rev. R. B. Manley, pastor of the A. M.

Not only will she be missed in her society, home and various church activities, but those of the city, community which she lived, and everyone that ever came in contact with her will notice the absence of first, her sweet smile, secondly, her pleasant conversations, and third, the presence of that true type of a Christian. Truthfully we can say that Mrs. Laura Jones lived and died the death of the righteous. The floral offerings in behalf of the Daughters of Eastern Star, and friends were most beautiful. A few friends and relatives attended the funeral. The out of town relatives were her mother, Mrs. Sarrah Stewart of Blair, Neb.; sisters, Miss Mamie Stewart, St. Paul, Minn., Mrs. Jno.

Howe, Bedford, Mrs. Tillie Lee, Des Moines, Mrs. Mary Knight and Mrs. Marjorie Dickerson of Sioux City; Mr. Geo Jones, Oskaloosa, also Mr. and Mrs. Alfonzo Stewart, Omaha. Mr. Jones and little daughter Alice have the sympathy of their many friends. Mrs. Fields expects to move to Sioux City in the near future. The Spanish flu lid was lifted Saturday noon, Nov. 9.

Somewher in France.—With a gasoline can as a rostrum, Secretary of War Baker, in the course of his inspection tour over here, addressed an audience of more than 2,000 colored stevedore troops during their lunch hour. The speech, as well as the entire stage setting, was highly informal. Part of the Secretary's audience lay sprawled upon the roof of a half-finished warehouse overlooking the focal gasoline can, and nearly all of them went on munching the contents of their mess kits, as it was intended they should do. The Secretary told the men how proud the people—all the people, home were of them, and especially how proud their own race was of them. He told them a couple of short, comical stories that quickly surrounded him with an amphitheater of white teeth all set in a broad smile. When he wound up by telling them that when he got back to America he was going to tell their people how well they had been doing, and the big shove they were giving to the army supplies which made it possible for the men at the front to win battles, he got such a "hand" as only strong and honestly-allowed palms can give a speaker. Both before and after his talk to them, Secretary Baker mingled among the men, asking them questions right and left, and thus getting much first-hand information from these colored stevedore. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Secretary's trip among the colored men over here was at Blois. Here there is a battalion of Class B and C men, all of whom had been wounded in action, and many of whom proudly wore the Croix de Guerre or the D. S. C. They were lined up for inspection, together with their splendid band, also composed of B and C men. The Secretary would not consent to their being introduced to him, but, as he put it: "It is an honor to be introduced to you." From the middle of the boxing ring and bandstand combined, which is the pride of the Bois camp, Mr. Baker told them how much their efforts had been appreciated by the nation; how greatly the nation was indebted to them, and how they—all of them—would be marked men in their communities throughout their entire lives for the service they had rendered their country in time of urgent need. "In after years," he said, "men will come home to their families and tell with pride, and with a glow upon their faces, how they had met and fought with valiant fighting colored men at Belleau Wood, at Chateau Thierry, at Soissons, on the Vesle and at Champagne." Concluding, Secretary Baker said to these colored troopers: "The history of America is in your hands, for you have enlarged it and helped to make it what it is today—a thing to fill every American with pride." FEATS OF FEARLESS COLORED TROOPERS ON THE FIRING LINE Somewhere in France.—A successful raid, planned by one of the majors of the old 8th Illinois regiment, whose home is at Metropolis, Ill., was made in the Voucharn sector, and with great daring. The motor battery of the regiment first took part in laying down a barrage fire. The barrage fire began at 4 o'clock in the morning—just as the first rays of the sun shone sluggishly, and but dimly, behind the horizon. At the hour named, every gunner was at his gun. The major flashed an electric signal, and within a minute or two thereafter every gun fired simultaneously, as if connected with and controlled by an electric battery. For fifteen minutes the colored gunners kept up their barrage fire, and then a French company was sent out behind the barrage to make the raid. So surprising was the raid, and so quickly made, that but three of the colored soldiers were wounded, and they but slightly, and but eight of the French, with whom they were fighting, while the German's casualty toll was eleven killed, three wounded, while the remainder were captured. Stories of the fight in the Argonne Forest, and the splendid endurance and valient fighting of the colored soldiers continue to come in. It is reported that a company of the old Ninth Ohio Battalion, under command of its colored captain from Dayton, Ohio, laid in an open field all night, awaiting orders to go into action, while all the time the Germans were dumping 210 shells and 98 machine gun fire into them. But even in the face of such a murderous fire the colored line stood as firm as if the huge shells and murderous machine gun fire was but the discharge of toy blow guns. Among their casualty was Anderson Lee and William Chenault, of Dayton, who were killed. The firmness of the line these khaki garbed black soldiers maintained in the face of a withering fire—a veritable hell, constitutes one more reason why the folks, the race, back home should be proud of these, their colored soldiers over here, whose unyielding spirit and bravery is making history for the race. I have learned that Hill 304, which the French so valiently held, and which suffered such a fierce bombardment from the Germans that there is not a single foot of it but what is plowed up by shells, and whise sides, even today, are literally covered with the corpses of French soldiers who still lit where they fell, was later as valiantly held by the colored soldiers from the United States, who fought with all the heroism and endurance the best traditions of the army has chronicled. The colored soldiers, under their own captain from Dayton, Ohio, who so splendidly maintained their line in the Argonne Forests, and those who held that bloody and forever historical Hill 304, had the odds against them, but like Tennyson's immortalized "Six Hundred," they fought bravely and well, firmed in the belief "it was not their's to reason why. It was their's to do and die," and, like the patriots they were, they did DO, an dthis war's history will so record. FROM A SOLDIER IN FRANCE TO HIS SISTER. Oct. 12, 1918. Mrs. Ora Weldon, Dear Sister: While thinking of you and have just eaten dinner, I take great pleasure in writing you a few lines to let you know how I am. This leaves me feeling fine and have just had a good cigar and that is just the thing for me just after eating. I got wounded on September 27 about 4:30 in the afternoon. I am in the American hospital. My wound is not a bad one, but it lays me up, but is could have been worse. I have had another operation since you heard from me. It will be quite a while before I will be able to be upand around again. Tell mama not to worry as I am doing fine. Give my best regards to papa, Earnest, Ora, Gordon and all. Has Earnest gone out to camp yet? or Ora? I have never heard from Glorene but once, and that was the one that was sent from Camp Upton. Well, sister, I have crossed that place you have heard so much about, No Man's Land. I crossed it three times and never got into any trouble at all, but it was in a different drive where I got wounded. I guess you heard about the big drive anyway I was in. It was sure some experience. If you ever heard music, we had it. Tell mamma that she can send me the fountain pen for Christmas. And I forgot to say that I received your letters. I got two August 17 and two from mamma the 20th. Excuse poor writing and poor paper as this is all I have at present. Well sister I will close for this time. From your brother, Co. K, 366th Inf., U. S. Army, A E. F. 766, A P. O., Oct. 5, 1918. Mrs. Matti Brooks. Dear Mother Brooks: No doubt you will be surprised at receiving this letter, but I hope you will not be offended. I am proud that I can say that this letter leaves me well, and enjoying myself as well as could be expected on the field somewhere in France. I find many interesting things over here. I always think of the good Mother Brooks and the many good deeds that she did to bring about contentment and pleasure among our boys, and make them feel at home. They will never forget Mother Brooks. The boys are always speaking of Mother Brooks. Now hoping when this reaches you it will find you as well and pleasant as ever and an answer at your earliest convenience. With best regards to all the friends of Des Moines, I remain CLINTON, IOWA. Carl Culiberton was confined to his home on account of illness last week. Rev. Bates, pastor of the Second Baptist church, visited recently at Quincy, Illinois. The quarantine which existed in Clinton for a month on account of the flu contagion, was lifted last Thursday. Conditions are again normal. All churches resumed services on Sunday. Notwithstanding the very inclement day good congregations were in attendance generally. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Aikens were the victims of the flu, but are both doing nicely. The cases among our people are limited to this household, from all reports. Hostilities with the Germans have ceased and parents and friends are longing for an early return of our boys. A beautiful service flag bearing eleven stars is now displayed in Bethe A. M. E. church in honor of members whose sons are in the service. The barking of a dog owned by Mr. J. T.

Mr. Bass fortunately estimates his loss at only $25.00, mostly caused by water and things incidental to the fire. The losses otherwise are quite heavy. The fire is supposed to be of incendiary origin, a bundle of oil soaked clothes being found partially consumed by a shed where the fire started, and the unseemly hour of the fire. Had it not been for the faithful dog we no doubt would have a tragic tale to tell as undoubtedly some lives would have been lost. Clinton did her part in celebrating the signing of the armistice. At 1:45 a.m. the people were aroused from their slumbers by the blowing of whistles and ringing of bells. Almost immediately the town was astir and soon the streets were alive with humanity. A monster parade was formed, marching from one part of the city to another. Red fire was used with profusion. The mayor proclaimed Monday a holiday, all ordinance restrictions were set aside, and business in general set aside. At 1:30 the monster parade was formed and was witnessed by thousands. It is estimated from 10,000 to 15,000 persons took part in the parade. Nearly every line of business was represented by a float. A grand feature of the event, our people were represented on a float which bore a quartet who sang at intervals along the line and a number of our people on foot. Mrs. W. A.

CORINTHIAN BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. Rev. G. W. Robinson, D. D., Pastor. On account of the great rain on Sunday the congregations were small all day. But the services were good and inspiring. The pastor delivered a strong sermon in the morning from the subject, "Tarrying With God." At night he spoke from "Back to Bethel." The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were a little below normal, but much cathusiasm was demonstrated. All the clubs are busy now electing their officers for the ensuing year. their officers for the easing year. The choir will present a beautiful cantata Dec. 5, "A Heavenly Mission in Song." Don't fail to see and hear this great song hit of the season. Mrs. F. G. Goggins, Mrs. Carrie Law, and Mrs Bertha Long have charge of the Sunday school Christmas play. With such workers as these we are sure to see something grand. The Mission Circle, assisted by the other clubs, will give a free dinner to all the colored over sea soldiers at Ft. Des Moines Thanksgiving Day. This is a big undertaking and we do hope everybody will help them. There will be a country school play given by them at night. On Sunday the pastor will deliver a special sermon to the aged members of the church. We hope that the relatives of the aged will see to it that they get there in time for good seats. We wish to thank the following who remembered the pastor's house last week: Rev. J. E. Roberts, Sister H. J. Rogers, Rev. Rogers, Bro. J. W. Johnson, Bro. McDavis, Sister Watson, Sister Shelby Adams.

COMPANY MOTHERS SENDING CANDY TO BOYS OVERSEAS. Mrs. S. Jee Brown, who at the opening of Camp Dodge was appointed as regimental mother for the men of the 366th Infantry, called together the following women on last Tuesday evening at the Army Y.: Mesdames W. H. Lowry, S. Bates, Jno. L. Thompson, N. C. Marshall, J. L. Edwards, J. Alvin Jefferson, H. W. Hughes, Wm. Gruder, E. D. Crocket, G. G. Nichols, R. N. Hyde, Jn Mayweather, A. M. Rivers, W. H. Humburd, Dora McGuire and Mme. Mattie Brooks. These women, who were presented with coupons received from a number of men of the 366th Infantry now in France, will meet Monday afternoon and prepare boxes containing home made candy and other delicacies. Miss Ursula Guy was present at this meeting and extended these mothers an invitation to hold their next meeting in the 'Girls Club Room' in the Army Club at 9th and Mulberry on next Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock, at which time the leaders of the girls' organizations will be present for a conference. The talk last Sunday afternoon by W. O. Payne, editor of the Forum, on the real cause of the present world war, was indeed a real treat to the men that were present. It was a live subject. All thinking men are anxious to know as much about the cause of this war that has caused such a tremendous but willing sacrifice of the world. It will be the purpose of the Army Y. M. C. A. in the future to have just such speakers. On account of St. Paul services to be held at 3 o'clock, Sunday the 24th, the Y. M. C. A. will not hold its usual public meeting. We ask you to look forward to the first Sunday in December, which will no doubt be our last big public patriotic meeting. An elaborate program is being prepared. Among some of the good things you may look for is Captain Cooper and other speakers and the glee club from Camp Dodge. The full program will be given in the next issue of the Bystander. Young men's Bible class has resumed its study on Thursday evening of each week. We are still ready to work with the boys from 12 to 15 on Tuesday evening of each week. Send the boys.

Notwithstanding a very unfavorable day Sunday, Nov. 17th, our church was opened for the first time in six weeks for services. It was a slow, grizzly rainy day, but in the morning we had a very large congregation out, it being the first sermon Rev. Waters preached since September 29th. And this first sermon impressed the people so much that they were so very anxious to hear him again. The trustees formed themselves in bands and went among the members and friends and collected money enough by the consent of the pastor, Rev. Waters, to have a new roof put on the parsonage at a cost of $101.25, and every dollar paid. They are also laying in our winter's coal and paying as we go. Also the stewards and class leaders are doing nicely in keeping up with the pastor's support and salary. Rev. Waters and his sweet family are just as happy as they can be. Also the good president of the Sunshine Club in the person of Mrs. J. C. Craig, and the splendid array of women she has gathered about her; also the president of the Willing Workers Club, in the person of Mrs. Geo. Buckner and her good members. These two clubs have collected enough money to decorate the entire parsonage at a cost of between $70 and $75 and every dollar paid. Too much credit can not be given to these good men and women of Bethel church. The messenger of death invaded the home of our dear sister, Minnie Taylor, and took out her darling mother. Mrs. Taylor is the president of stewardess board No. 1, but we know our loss is Heaven's gain. Thy will be done. Sister Vaughn died in the full triumph of faith. We are anticipating a very enjoyable Thanksgiving. We are going to observe what is known as open doors all day, and up to a late hour in the evening. The stewardess will serve on that day the refreshments. Rev. Waters will preach at 10:45 a. m. In the evening at 8 o'clock Mrs. Everett Holmes, the chairman of the program, is going to put on one of the finest programs ever given in Bethel church. Mrs. Holmes has secured the Institute Band for the occasion. ```markdown ``` --- Our first quarterly communion will be held December 1, 1918. Our P. R. B. Dr. N. J. McCracken, will be with us on that day. Also he is going to be with us on lovefast evening, Friday preceding the communion. Mrs. C. R. Waters has been placed at the head of the program for Christmas and she called for the young folks to meet her and they respended in great numbers. Monday after school about 40 of them met her and the rest of the committee, Mrs. Margie Teomes and Mrs. Welden. They are to meet again Friday after school. The Sunday school are to have a rally on December 15. Mrs. Lena B. Porter is very anxious to have the people of Allen C. E. League come out at 6:30 p. m. every Sabbath. SPECIAL NOTICE TO THE IOWA BAPTISTS. We must thank you for the hearty cooperation rendered to the work during the past year. Nearly all the churches met their quota of money. All had an increase in members with a little exception. Now the first quarter will close Dec. 10, at which time every church is asked to send in at least one-fourth of its yearly apportionment money. This has been a hard quarter. The Spanish influenza caused our churches to be closed for some time, but let us not allow the work to lag behind. We are under a heavier burden this year right here in the state. We are helping more missionary pastors than ever in our history. They are as follows: Second, Oskaloose; Taberanch, Council Bluffs; Second, Marshalltown; and Union, Burlington. The high cost of living and excess railroad rates compelled us to increase the salary of the missionary. You see by that we need your help. These churches that were so fortunate as to be ahead send something along to help out. The Board will convene at the First African Baptist church, Keokuk, Iowa, Tuesday, Dec 10, at 10 o'clock a m. Let all the Board members endeavor to reach Keokuk on Monday that we might have a service Monday night. Let every church send its money to G. W. Robinson, 818 W. 14th St, Dec Moines, Iowa. After Dec 6, send it to me, General Delivery, Keokuk, Iowa. This distressing disease results from a disordered condition of the stomach and can be relieved by taking Chamberlain's Tablets.
