THE DREAM OF A RACE. (Extract from the original poem by Mrs. Margaret C. Matthews.) "Unite as a race and down with all mirth And lift our race up with best nations of earth! Let's up and be doing, our journey pursue! The harvest is ripe and the lab'rors are few. Let's all who've descended from African sod, Help "Ethiopia stretch forth, her hands back to God!" —Matthews. INFORM US AT ONCE IF YOU EXPECT TO ATTEND K. P. GRAND LODGE Those who expect to attend the K. P. Grand Lodge and Court of Calduth at Salina, Kas., which convenes July 24th will do themselves a favor by giving notice to the editor of The Advocate, 834 Nebraska avenue, as soon as possible. The delegation will leave here over the Union Pacific Monday, July 23rd at 10:40 a. m. and if a sufficient number goes a special coach will be at their disposal. Mrs. S. L. Cotter and son, Bernethel J. Cotter, left Monday, July 16th, for permanent residence in Indianapolis, Ind. Benedet graduated from Summer high school in the class of 1917, and was one of the six honored members of the class. He also played the character of villain in the senior play, which was commented on by efficient critics. Kansas City and the community are sorry to lose this mother and son. Don't forget the club of Mr. S. H. Randolph, one of our most popular mall clerks. Be ready for the first Sunday in August. Mr. Gerren is building a new house on Nebraska avenue. K. P.

DRAINAGE BOARD ASKS DAMAGES OF MISSOURI PACIFIC DRAINAGE BOARD ASKS DAMAGES OF MISSOURI PACIFIC Supplemental Petition for $75,000 in Bridge Case Is Filed in Supreme Court TO CALL A HEARING War Department Engineers Instructed to Inquire into Company's Plans. for Bridge The Kaw Valley Drainage Board went after the Missouri Pacific railway yesterday by filling a supplemental petition in the Kansas supreme court at Topeka asking $15,729.82 as damages from the railway corporation. The suit, as most everybody here readily can guess, is the result of the troubles between the Missouri Pacific c and the drainage board over the refusal of the company to rebuild the Kaw river bridge according to the plans of the U. S. engineers adopted by the board. In the petition filed yesterday the board also asks direct damages in the amount of $7,129.82, attorneys' fees amounting to $10,000 and recovery on account of refilling the Kaw river channel to the amount of $53,600. The war department, which has been asked to take a band in the bridge controversy, is to get busy. Engineers for the drainage board yesterday received instructions to arrange for a hearing to be conducted by a representative of the government. The hearing is asked for by several organizations in behalf of the board. The board members said last night the date for the hearing will be arranged soon. They also are confident the government will turn down the bridge plans submitted by the railroads which provide for a four-player structure. The board demands a two-player bridge. Another point in the controversy was won by the board when County Attorney James Luscombe filled suit in the district court against the Kansas City-Northwestern, the original owner of the bridge, asking the removal of the bridge as an obstruction to the navigation of the river. He sets forth the structure will not permit barges nor other boats to pass under-mouth. ENLIST ALL WOMEN IN FOOD CAMPAIGN ENLIST ALL WOMEN IN FOOD CAMPAIGN MASS MEETING CALLED AT C, OF C. AUDITORIUM ON SATUR Miss Marion Broughten, food expert, has called a mass meeting of all the women in Kansas City, Kas., for Saturday afternoon, to complete arrangements for carrying out the plans of Mrs. D. W. Mulvane of Topeka. The plan is to form a permanent organization, with a chairman, president, secretary and president for the conduct of the food campaign for the duration of the war. A demonstration of food conservation given in the summer school this afternoon was well attended. A lesson in jelly-making is scheduled for Monday afternoon in the Abbott building, to be repeated Wednesday at the Masonic Temple. A circular containing easy methods of food preservation has been prepared by Miss Broughten and will be sent out this week. Mrs. J. P. Worten, 703 Georgia, is spending the hot weather months with her parents in Eudora, Kansas. Rev. J. A. Boyd of Dallas, Tex., attended the evening service Sunday at First A. M. E. church. He made a spicy after talk. Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Thuriston, both popular teachers in Tulsa. Okla., are visiting their cousins, Mr. and Mrs. White, 2031 North Third street. They worshipped at First A. M. E. church Sunday with their hostess. Miss Lizzie White of Tulsa, Okla., is visiting the Misses Hills, Eleventh and Freeman. Miss White is quite prominent in social circles in her home city. It is said that President Wilson is not a Mason. Christianity, re-enforced by the emphasis of Masonry has a remarkable human touch. In fact the touch that this old world is sorely in need of at this moment. Mrs. Goings, at Ninth and Oakland, has returned from visiting her sick mother at Fulton, Mo. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JULY 20, 1917. FRATERNITY BUILDING The Fraternity building recently purchased and fitted up by Mr. Samuel Diggs at 312-314 Nebraska avenue, is without a doubt the finest and most modern in the two cities. It has two large airy lodge rooms with electric lights, lavatories, ante-rooms and fitted up with elegant lodge furniture and floor covering. Mr. Diggs keeps a janitor at the building all the time and things are kept in perfect sanitary condition. Either one of these lodge halls should bring at a low figure $10.00 per month, but we understand that Mr. Diggs is letting them out for less than half of that amount. Mr. Diggs is a good business man, as many of us know, but it's a puzzle to the writer as to how Mr. Diggs can keep up a building of that kind with such prices. It's sure these halls will soon be taken for every night in the week at this extremely low rent. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. The attendance both morning and evening were large as usual. Dr. Griffin delivered his usual strong spiritual sermon at the morning service, to a spiritual and appreciative audience. The doctor's sermons are taking hold of his hearers with greater effect every time he delivers a message. Rev. S. P. Anderson, of the Missouri Conference, the St. Louis district, and stationed at Jackson, Mo., filled the pulpit in the evening and preached to a nice audience of attentive hearers. While there was no rally on the officers reported something over $300 for the day. Dr. Barksdale, presiding elder of the St. Louis district, whose family resides here, made a few remarks at the close of the evening service, which were very timely and interesting as well as helpful. The Sunday school is keeping abreast with other church work with a noticeable increase each Sabbath. The Endeavor societies are pushing out into a deeper channel of the work, and each one is working for a more sincerity of the cause. The Friday night classes are taking on new life and many are now only realizing its wonderful strengthening powers. The Woman's State Missionary society will convene in this church next Wednesday morning for a three days' session. When Walter Lawson died at the age of 55 in Spokane recently, the Pacific coast lost its only colored police officer, says the Spokane Chronicle. Lawson had aided in keeping the peace for more than 18 years. He came to Spokane 23 years ago, after serving in Uncle Sam's cavalry. For years he drove a patrol wagon and, when motor-driven "Maris" replaced the old one, he mastered its mechanics and stayed right on the job. Lawson's death brought mourning to a large part of the city. The chief and other officers praised him as one of the bravest officers who ever wore the blue or swung a nightstick. THEY SAY— The trouble in East St. Louis was due from strikers, union, etc., not altogether race prejudice. Didn't Honorable Governor Cappen send the president a good telegram? We have some true friends in other races yet. God has promised to raise us up friends if we will trust Him. The Society Editor said in another issue, "God is not mocked, and in a few days we see the same kind of people who murdered those colored people in East St. Louis driven from home, 1,200 in number, and some of them killed and others suffering otherwise. BAS CITY, KANSAS, JULY 20 EONOMY SHO STREET RAILWAY COMPANY GIVES PICNIC TO COLORED EMPLOYEES. One of the largest and best outings this summer was the Metropolitan Street Railway picnic at Lincoln Electric park, Wednesday, July 18th. Those who were fortunate enough to get passes rode free, and had free ice cream, lemonade, and pop corn after reaching the park. They had free admission, free picture show, and finest of all saw Mr. Tom Bass, $10,000 horse, "Black Beauty," perform. She is the only horse in the world that can cake walk backward. She won a prize over Miss Lula Long's horses. Mr. Bass is one of the best horsemen in the world. Those who enjoyed the hospitality of the Street Railway will not soon forget this most enjoyable affair. Mr. Amos Hayes was chairman of the general committee. There was a large audience at this church Sunday morning, although some members visited other churches during the absence of the pastor. Rev. A. Morgan preached a profound sermon on the text, "Fairness Among Thousands Altogether Lovely." His discourse was certainly enjoyed by the true Christians. He is a young preacher and one of our high school boys, but he is intelligent in his speech and can certainly propound the gospel. He preached again at night. He and Rev. Alva Royston led the services well during Pastor Holmes' absence. Deacon L. Oliver one of our most popular citizens, praised the young ministers for their sincere efforts. Several joined at the services. Sunday, July 22nd, the pastor will preach one of a series of special sermons. Don't fall to hear them. EAST ST. LOUIS POLICY HOLDERS All policy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company formerly living in East St. Louis, can have their insurance attended to by calling at the local office 5361-2 Minnesota avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. The company would appreciate any one knowing of such persons to refer them to the local office. EIGHTH STREET BAPTIST TABER NACLE Dr. D. B. Jackson filled his pupil Sunday and preached a fine sermon to a large congregation. The rally is moving along nicely and about $3,000 have been raised on rebuilding the old church that was destroyed by fire last winter.

CHURCH The State Women's Missionary Society of the Kansas Conference will convene in this city next week, opening next Wednesday, July 25th, at the First A. M. E. church at the corner of Eighth and Nebraska avenue, and lasting for three days. There is expected at this annual convention a large attendance of the leading church women in this conference, which takes in part of Nebraska. The local society has everything in readiness to entertain their visiting guests. Many of the ministers of this conference will be present. Also visitors from other sections. A fine printed program, has been arranged by the local committee. The program shows a number of addresses, and papers to be delivered by some of the brainy and intellectual women of this society. Word was received Wednesday from the Adjutant General in the headquarters of the Kansas City, Mo., station for 18 colored men for service in the medical department. This does not mean, said Captain O. R. Cole, that these men must be graduates in but should be bright young men of medicine or even college graduates, tering the service. The mother of Mrs. Scales Brown of 842 New Jersey, died Sunday, July 15. The Advocate extends sympathy. One of our subscribers, Mrs. Hortense Bradford inquires for the following: To each man's life comes a time supreme; One day, one night, one morning, or one neon. One freighted hour, one moment opportune. One rift through which sublime fulfillments gleam, One space when fate goes tiding with the stream, One once, in balance Twixt Too Late, Too Scon, And ready for the passing instant's boon. To tip in favor the uncertain beam. Ah, happy he who, knowing how to wait, Knows also how to watch and work and stand On Life's broad deck alert, and at the how To seize the passing moment big with fate, From opportunity's extended hand, When the great clock of destiny strikes Now! MARY A. TOWSEND. ODD FELLOWS CLOSE ANNUAL SESSION Ft. Scott, Kas., July 20th] Special to Advocate. The annual grand session of the Odd Fellows closed its deliberations Thursday evening with an elaborate social gathering. An outing and picnic was held in the afternoon, where hundreds of visitors and Ft. Scott citizens enjoyed themselves. The parade was a fine affair and hundreds of citizens were attracted to the line of march. During the week many social functions were pulled off. Many of the state's leading men and women were present. The three link visitors and the Household were royally entertained by the local members and citizens. While their stay here was short it made a lasting impression on the citizens of Ft. Scott. FIRST BAPTIST. My desire and prayer for the Kingdom of Heaven was the text taken by Rev. Bowren at the 11 o'clock service Sunday morning. It was very interestingly discussed. Rev. Boyd of the Friendship Baptist church-made a few stilking remarks on the condition of our people in the Southland. He will discuss the same subject Wednesday night, July 18th much more fully. BUSY BEES. The Sons and Daughters of Consolation held their installation at the Fraternal Hall, 312 Nebraska avenue, Monday, July 16th. Dr. Mizon installed them. Mr. S. Digge again served a free reception to the lodge and to visiting friends. A very large crowd enjoyed themselves by his hospitality. Mrs. B. C. Scott who was called to Wichita three weeks ago on account of her daughter's illness, writes that she is much improved. Kansas City is proud to learn of the Rev. D. A. Holmes, pastor of Metropolitan Temple, received a request from Washington, D. C., to presch to the Colored soldiers in camp at Ft. DesMoines on last Sunday, July 15, 1917. Mr. Lee Duncan has a contract for 1800 feet of macadam road. The Old Oaken Bucket tennis court reveals a touch of refinement. Messrs. Jackson, Williams and Seaton and others are doing some good playing. This court is at the old well, Mrs. Anderson's, Chas, Banks, Asa Grigshy and Catherine Haines play well.

Williams gave his moving picture lecture last Wednesday under the auspices of the Improvement club of Allen Chapel. Rain is much needed. Be ready to subscribe when a representative of The Advocate comes. ALLIES ASK ACTION AGAINST U-BOATS PRESIDENT WILSON TO DECIDE WHAT PLAN U. S. WILL ADOPT. Washington, July 19.—President Wilson will decide whether the United States will attempt an offensive against German submarines. Plans for active offensives have been placed before the president. The admiralty has been asked to furnish full information to show whether such action should be taken. Failure of Michaelis to Defeat Liberals to Be Followed By Drastic Measures Von Hindenburg May Be Chosen to Carry Out Iron Rule of Militarism Rome, July 18.—Reports here say the kaiser is in ill health again. The dispatch says, "His condition is unsatisfactory. He is mentally and physically ill." There is no confirmation of this report. --- Amsterdam, July 18.—Opinion that Chancellor Michaella, will be succeeded by a military dictator in Germany if the Liberal coalition continues to defy the government was strengthened, if not confirmed, by advises reaching here today from various sources. If the kaiser decides upon this drastic move it is believed the dictatorship would be conferred upon either Field Marshal von Hindenburg, chief of staff, or First Quartermaster General Ludendof, Von Hindenburg's chief alide. The liberal element in the reststag still is "striking" and the leaders declare they will press their interparty peace resolution calling for no annexations and no indemnities as the chief peace terms. Miss May McClelland was accompanied by Mrs. L. Hall, Mrs. Minnie Cooper and her Sunday school pupils to 1830 North Sixth street, where they had a surprise party on Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Griffin's daughter. Alma, Monday afternoon. Everyone had a delightful time. Refreshments were served. J. G.

Let all lend a hand and help the new comers from the Southland. A Clean, Reliable, Family Welfare Published in the Interest and Welfare of all Humanity NO. 46 ...520 Minn. Ave. KEEP YOUR EAR TO THE GROUND AN UNDERCURRENT AGAINST US While many of our people in Kansas City, Kansas, have forgotten in the short time about what was tried to be heaped upon us, in our last municipal election, and feeling it was dead, but believe your dreams, there has been going on ever since the defeat of that unprincipled issue an undercurrent among that same bunch of unChristian centipedes to bring about their murky and inhuman desire. They are laying plans right now, if possible, to entrap the colored people and some of our people who don't think or care much for principle are willing to be duped and further sacrifice the principles of citizenship for a few paltry dollars, but we are glad, to know we have enough substantial men in our community who always keep one eye open when asleep. They are ever on the alert when matters of their kind are in the air, and their sense or smell is so keen if no other way to get wise as to what is going on, they can smell it. These men are invainable to a community, people or municipality. We would suggest to those who are forgetful, indifferent and don't care fellows, to wake up and keep your ear to the ground. Let us find ourselves as a unit on everything that tends to back the water on the man or race that is just learning to swim. We will tell you more about what's going on in a later is sue.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. We are heartily sorry for the italics and Bulgarians who were driven out of Flat River. It must have been a shock to them to have to go through such trying ordeals in a land of the free. Their first impression of landing in this country was "Liberty Enlightening the World." They come sailing with no other thought that relief from the hardships of their own country and joy in the anticipation of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in America. They no doubt have thought that the man from Africa was to be the sole sufferer at the hands of the cruel mob. They may have stood by or taken an active part in the sufferings of their neighbors from Africa little realizing that sooner or later they too, would suffer. Hatred has no record for race and the different races ought to come to a living realization of it. None seem to get along fighting, mobbing, lynching or any other methods of cruelty. Why not quit? Right, about face! And try kindness and good will to men. We are interested in all humanity. We are absolutely above petty prejudice, race hatred and their allied evils. Foreigners! Men of Africa! Native born Americans (so-called) quit your mean conduct! Live peaceably with all men. FROM FUTURE RACE RIOTS Philadelphia—The Negro Baptist ministers in a regular session of their conference composed of representatives from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware held here today drafted a memorial to congress protesting against the riots in East St. Louis and asked that the federal government enact laws to protect the other millions of their race from suffering a like fate. While realizing, the memorial states, that the federal government cannot interfere with a state's conduct of its own affairs, it declares that when a state "cannot or will not enforce its laws against murderers and incendias, national legislation is then a crying necessity for the peace and welfare of the nation."

HOME DRUG CO. 1512 North Fifth Street K.C.K.NEEDS ONLY 63 TO FILL QUOTA City Already Has Given 1,325 Volunteers to the Army and Naval Service MAY OBVIATE DRAFT Adjutant General Martin Orders Capt. Hoyt to Speed Up On Recruiting If 63 enlistments in the Kansas National Guard units here can be obtained before the official draft list is put into the hands of the local boards, Kansas City, Kaa., may not be called upon to send any other men, under the first draft call. At least that evidently is the view taken by the state officials at Topeka. Charles L. Martin, adjutant general, wired Captain Phil. Hoyt, Battery E. Kansas National Guard, this morning urging him to obtain 63 new recruits at once so that the city may save the trouble of selecting that number of men for the first call. In figuring the quotas for the new army credit is given for all enlistments in the regular army and the national guard between the declaration of war and June 30. Kansas City, Kas., will be required to furnish only 63 men out of a registration of more than 9,000, because of the large number who volunteered. They are divided as follows: Division No. 1, 8; No. 2, 25; No. 3, 24; No. 4, 6. Wyandotte county, outside of Kansas City, Kas., does not have to furnish a man. Under the apportionment made by the War Department Kansas is to supply 17,764 men for the new army. Enlistments in the Kansas National Guards and in the army and navy, however, show that 11,225 men already have gone into the service from Kansas, leaving only 6,438 men to be drafted into the service under the first call. Wyandotte county, outside of this city, already has furnished more than its quota and will not have a single man drawn from the registration list on the first call. The counties of Allen, Chase, Douglas, Ford, Kearney, Montgomery, Osborne and Woodson also have given their full quota. Kansas City, Kas., with 1460 already enlisted as volunteers, has only 63 men to be drafted, Wichita has only 29 and Topeka has furnished its full quota. DRAWING TO FILL RANKS IS ONTODAY High Officials of United States Start First Selective Draft at 9:39 O'clock WON'T FINISH TONIGHT People Everywhere Keyed Up with Patriotism Over Great Event Washington, July 20.—General Crowder admitted today at 2 o'clock taft the draft would not be completed until Saturday morning. There will be no intermission. This is the day of the nation's selection from among its 10,000,000 registered sons, a total of 687,000 men to fill up the ranks of its new army. The drawing began in the Senate. The first number drawn was 258, by Newton D. Baker, secretary of war. Office building in Washington at 9:49 o'clock this morning. Then on throughout the day the drawing continued in the presence of Secretary Baker, the senate and house, military committee, a group of high officials of the government and representatives of the press.

GERMAM PLOTTERS SPREAD GERMS BY POISONED PLASTERS Federal Officers in Kansas City, Kansas are Holding Three German Peddlers Whose Court Plasters Were Found to Contain Tetanus Germs Intended to Scatter Death. Three peddlers, believed to be leaders in a conspiracy to spread disease, are being held by Federal authorities, Fred Robertson, United States district attorney, announced today. Court plasters being sold in country towns in Kansas have been confiscated by county authorities and samples forwarded to district headquarters here. Tests made by D. W. Smith, government chemist, revealed that the plasters contain tetanus germs, which, if placed on an infected or exposed surface, would result in lockjaw. There is evidence of other disease germs in the sticky substance on the courtplaster, the chemist reported, but these have not yet been analyzed. All of the men under arrest are Germans. In the belief that knowledge of their names and whereabouts would result in violence before the government can take its course in meting out punishment to the suspects, the names will be withheld by the Department of Justice until further investigation is made. Smith, having completed his test for tetanus germs, called in three Kansas City, Mo., chemists. The four scientists agreed the courtplaster con- DAIRY, FOREST AND ORDNANCE MEN-SOUGHT BY UNCLE SAM.

ALL READY FOR DRAFT DRAWING SERIAL NUMBERS DRAWN TO SHOW WHO WILL BE FIRST TO BE CALLED. Washington, July 19.—The official statement of the drawing for the national army by Provost Marshal General Crowder follows: The Segregation Into Groups. Obviously no single agency could examine 10 million men. Therefore, the 10 millions are segregated into groups of suitable size for convenient examination. There are 4,557 of these groups. For each group a board has been appointed to examine for selection. By far the greater number of these groups consist of approximately 3,000 men. Since this is so, our problem is not to put the whole 10 million names in one list arranged in the order of examination. It is to determine the order of examination in each group of about 3,000 names. The Red ink Serial Numbers. In each group, every registration card that a red linked number written on its face and these numbers run in a single series from unity (1) to the number corresponding to the greatest number of cards in the group. Normally this is from unity (1) to about 2,000. Exact copies of the cards in each group have been attested and sent to the various state capitals. Lists showing the name of each man in each group and the serial number of each card have been posted in the office of the board, published in the press, and one copy is on file in Washington. There is, therefore, no chance of any man number being changed without detection or of any card being lost beyond replacement. We are dealing with 4 557 group cards, each group numbered in one series that normally runs from 1 to about 3,000. The drawing will begin at 9.30 p.m. tomorrow morning in room 226 f the Senate Office building. HEAVY RAINS IN SOUTHERN KANSAS Heavy rains fell in southeastern HOMESTEADS FOR YOUNG SOLDIERS JOE TAGGART SAYS MEN WHO JOIN ARMY ARE ENTITLED TO SOLDIERS' PRIVILEGE. "A soldier may stake a homestead after he joins the United States army, and the time he is in service will be counted the same as if he were on the claim tilling the soil." That is the reply made by Joseph Taggart, attorney for the federal trade commission in response to an inquiry from Captain Louis McDonald of the First, Kansas Infantry, K. N. G. "If anyone should be given privileges with regard to homesteading the public land it is a man in the service of his country," the former congressman said today. "To all intents and purposes his service is as great as though he were reclaiming waste public lands, and will be applied as if he had spent a like number of months or years cultivating the <i>elm</i>." OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE BUT NOT FOR WAR SCHENCK ACCUSED AS SLACKER, SAYS POLITICIANS INFLU- ENCED HIM. A state warrant was issued today for Joseph Schenck, Pole, charged with attempting to evade registration. The evidence against him was his registration during the fall election, at which time he said he was 21 years old. The statement to the reg- istrars was malse, Schenck said to and was made at the Instigation of politicians. The alleged "slacker" protested in police court today he was born in 1897 and is now only 20 years old and not eligible for draft. Kansas last night. A fall of 3.15 inches at Iola is the report of the most thorough drenching. At Springfield, Mo., there was a fall of 1.25 inches; Oklahoma City, 1.22, and Wichita had .66 of an inch of rain. Mr. T.
