SANDS OF FRIENDS WILL BE PRESENT TO CHEER OUR BRAVE BOYS Sunday at 3 p. m. there will be one of the largest gatherings of our colored citizens that has ever come together in the history of this city and community. It will be patriotic day when our citizens will tender a farewell reception to our commissioned officers and the 18 young men who were in the first call, to go to the front in defense of the Stars and Stripes. All of these loyal sons will leave on next Wednesday, October 31st, for Camp Funston, where they will go in training to put themselves in condition for further service. Every colored citizen should be out to do honor and pay that respect to our beloved boys that's due them. If we can't go to the defense of our country let us show to those who are going that warmth of brotherly affection. Congressman E. C. Little to Speak Col. E. C. Little of Spanish-American war fame, will be the principal speaker, his subject being "The Negro as a Soldier." Col. Little has just returned from the halls of Congress, and has been-one of the brill- NEGROES STAND FOR FUNSTON NEGROES STAND FOR FUNSTON The following is an excerpt from the Salina Evening Journal, concerning the Baptist State convention which met in that city. Dr. Bowren Heads. Baptists Again. Rev. W. A. Bowren was elected president of the Kansas Missionary Baptist convention today for another year. He is considered a sane and safe leader, and during his administration has won many friends for his race and church. W e appreciate very much the consideration which has been given us by the public press of this city. It means so much to have the papers tell the world what we are trying to do to make our race better, declared Dr. Bowren and this is always a source of encouragement. It has been that only the Jawless Jim Crow criminal Negro got a hearing through the public press. But time is changing now. I believe that the papers will pay less attention to crime and more to the things that are of real uplift. At the close of the business session today the following resolutions was adopted: We, your committee on special resemblances to whom was referred the matter reported in the daily press of Oct. 13 regarding the protest made by citizens near Camp Funston against the placing of Negro troops at this camp, respectfully submit the following report: We make the following recommendation: That this convention send the following telegram to the war department through its secretary, Hon. Newton D. Baker. We, the Kansas State Baptist convention and Women's Home and Foreign Mission convention is in convention assembled in Salina, Kansas, October 13th, commend the war department for its distribution of the Negro division to the several cantonments throughout the country. We urge the department not to recidit this order and pledge to our government the support, patriotism and protection of the country's interests by the fifty-five thousand colored people in the state of Kansas. The integrity of the Negromen in protecting the virtue of womanhood during the Civil war has become a proverb in the country, and there is no just reason why Feast of Seven Tables Served by HERMOINE COURTOF GALANT NO. 21 FRATERNITY HALL, 3RD AND NEBRASKA WEDNESDAY NIGHT, NOV. 27TH, 1917 Begin Serving at 6:30 p. m., and continue until all are waited upon.

We were glad to see Miss Sallie Brown, our punctual Forum secretary, at her post Sunday. he should now be deemed less trustworthy. The Negro's one desire is to aid our country in achieving victory in humanity's war to humanity. We also recommend that copies of this telegram be sent to the members of the Kansas delegation in congress, to Gov. Arthur Capper and to Assistant Secretary of War Emmett Scott.

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS OCTOBER, 26 1917. G The Spirit of '76 as displayed in 1817 is one of the many interesting features of Uncle Sam's photoplay recently staged to boom the Second Liberty Loan and in which practically all the biggest "star"s in civic, motion picture and theatrical fields appear. THE NEGRO SOLDIER We are grieved to think that there are people in Junction City and Manhattan that are so forgetful of the fact that a United States soldier is headed directly toward a probable and a possible death. That if this war is based upon seriousness; if it means business; if these is danger from a foe without and it necessary to call for volunteers or draft men and they leave the comforts of a humble or well equipped home—sacrificing the joys of home ties, leaving weeping wives, grieving mothers and distracted children, the comforts of a bed for a bunk or a cot or the cold chill ground and endure the rigors of severe drill, exposing their bodies to the rockish weather of the cold bleak unhospitable plains of Kansas at Camp Funston, surrounding our government—All this and more for the perpetuity of the interests of the United States and Democracy—it does seem that the least the people who live near the camp could do is to make their brief stay pleasant. White and black are alike headed toward the trenches there to do duty and return or to mingle their blood in the soil of mother earth. Why will men be so cruel? Why will they be so inhospitable, so selfish? Treat the negro soldier kindly and you will have difficulty in finding a better soldier in camp, a better citizen on the street, in fact a better man. Mistreat him and the heart will rise in him. No one has respect for another who mistreats him. If the man of color is bad it is due in large measure to his inhospitable environment. Charity must become the corner stone of democracy or our reputed World democracy is doomed to utter failure. Gen. Wood, in his talks to his people, urges them in their writing to the boys in Camp to speak or write of pleasant things. Not to write of troubles at home. In fact not to pen a distressing thought. The loneliness or lonesomeness of Billie Burke, the famous film actress; Clarence Harvey, the noted writer, and Charles Thorne, the popular actor, are the three figures who depict the spirit of '76 in the 1917 motion picture. Among the other prominent persons who appear in this film are President DR. H. FRANKLIN BRAY FOUNDS A RESCUT MISSION IN CHICAGO. The following note clipped from one o the Chicago papers: "The first real Rescue Mission ever established for the Colored people of Chicago has been opened by Dr. H. Franklin Bray of Denver, Colorado, at 2830 State street. In every way this place rivals in neatness and completeness the best rescue homes in this city for the white. Dr. Bray is superintendent with an excellent staff of co-workers. Dr. L. M. Fenwick preached a splendid sermon at the mission Sunday night. Services are held every night and lodging is furnished free to many deserving persons. On Sunday the services are held at 3 and 8 o'clock. Mrs. Anna E. Creel of Lincoln, Nebraska, is in charge of the women's department of the rescue work. The mission will be glad to receive all your old clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc. Just drop a card to the superintendent and tell him where and when to call." Dr. Bray is well known in this city and state, and for several years, was one of the strong ministers of the Kansas conference, but has been in the evangelistic work for the past two years. camp life is almost unbearable. Look for a moment at the state of mind the people are creating for the soldiers of Cor. Great headlines: NOT WANTED! RIOTS WILL BREAK OUT. NO PLACE FOR HIS COMFORT. ALL AGAINST HIM. Then, too, he is compelled by his sense of loyalty to do as above mentioned—Leave all to serve his country. One of the main ideas to quote from Dr. Alonzo Taylor's address on "What Needs of the World." one of the main ideas of the goat achievement of the French soldier "is the wonderful spirit of comradship between officers and men that does not exist anywhere else in the world." Sending two hostile armies to Europe to fight in a common cause. Let's have peace. Let's have harmony. Away with these discordant notions. Hurrah for soldiers ALL of America. G. A. GRECCG. The sermon of Dr. Griffin that was taken down Sunday, October 12th, by a young lady of the Commercial department of Western university, has been printed in a neat, lifelike folder by Mr. Manly, a member of the church, and a large number of them were sold last Sunday. It was a masterly bit of thought, and eloquence and its foxy reaches for our soul. Wilson, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, Thomas A. Edison, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, William S. Hart, De Wolf Hopper, Raymond Hitchcock, David Warfield, Lillian Russell, Panline Frederick, and many similar celebrities. A LITTLE WOMAN OF GREAT POWER A LITTLE WOMAN OF GREAT POWER A MOST WONDERFUL APPEAL WAS MADE LAST SUNDAY IN AN ADDRESS TO MEN BY MADAME BOOKER AT PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH Probably one of the most effective addresses ever delivered to an audience, mostly of men, was made last Sunday by Madame Dayse Walker-Booker, at Pleasant Green Baptist church, of which Dr. Geo. McNeal is pastor. Her talk for a higher and nobler manhood with a greater respect for the race's women reached the souls of her hearers as never before. Strong men were so intensely moved with the concrete facts of logic and philosophy one could see their very being, as it were, burning within them. While there were not a thousand present (but should have been) those who were fortunate enough to hear this hour's talk from this "Little Sunshine Lady" as she is highly known, got a double portion. It was not a talk to make you jump out of your seat or throw up your hat, but it put everyone to thinking and that of himself. It was repeatedly heard after the close of this wonderful little woman's talk, "I have been more benefitted in this one hour than I have in all my days." This address will long live in the hearts of all who were so fortunate to be present. Mrs. Victori Garner-Lewis, after several days' visit to her mother and other relatives, returned Thursday to her home in Bonner Springs. Some who we haven't seen at the Forum for quite awhile were: Prof. Starnes, Mr. Montgom Graves, Atty, and Mrs. Toogle, Miss Eiffe Ghant and scores of others. IN MEMORIAM.

WOOD Twelve thousand Negro soldiers, who will see sent to Camp Fnuston next week, for military training. Maj. Gen. Wood needs the assistance of the Negro business men and other Negroes who are interested in the welfare of the Race. These men are being sent from seven states, and we should have the cooperation of the business men from each state. Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, Kansas City's ploneer Negro business man, member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, on last Tuesday made a visit to Maj. Gen. Wood's quarters, at Camp Funston to offer the services of his automobile training school for the purpose of giving the Negro soldiers an opportunity to get into the mechanical departments of the army. He was met by Capt. H. S. Howland, assistant chief of Gen Wood's staff. After talking the matter over, Capt. Howland was very frank and told Mr. Weaver that the most important problem that was confronting them at the present time was the arranging of an amusement center where the Negro soldiers may find recreation and amusement without molestation and discrimination of any sort. There should also be cafes, apartments, general stores, and shops of all kinds where the wives and friends of the Negro officers and soldiers may find quarters and accommodations. Mr. Howland arranged a meeting for Mr. Weaver at the Central National Bank at Junction City where he met members of the war department, commissioned on training camp activities, also some of the bankers and business men. Mr. Weaver told the committee that his plan would be to let Negro business men take full charge of this community center and operate all the business enterprises. In this way race friction would be averred, and we would make the boys feel at home in a way that no one else can. A meeting of business men and others who are interested in the race will be held at the Paseo Y. M. C. A, this Friday evening at 8 p. m. CITIZENS' FORUM. Kansas City, Kas., Oct. 21, 1917.—The Citizens' Forum, the greatest intelligent mouthpiece for the people met at the Metropolitan Temple at 4:15. President Buster was punctual at 4, but a sad, but necessary purpose was the reason of the few moments delay. The program was: Invocation, Mr Lewis; quotations, by members; Current Events led by Prof. H. Dwiggins; Harp solo, Mr. Massley; was encored and he played "Hearts and Flowers." The principal feature of the program was the address, "Dreams and Dreamers," by Madame Dayse Walker-Booker, of Indianaapolyn. By the time her number came, a cosmopolitan audience had taken possession of the auditorium, which was the largest audience the Forum has had this year. Madame Booker said in part, "This Temple is beautiful, beautiful, and an ideal place in which to talk on "Dreams and Dreamers." I am here before this Forum attempting to make my dream come true. I do not know that I have seen anything more artistic than this beautiful temple, but it belongs to some dreams of the pastor and come of his congregation. "The work of the world has been done by the dreamers. Everyone must make his own dreams come true, but it takes courage to make dreams come true. Even though you have hard times, dream your dreams, and you and the Master can make them come true. Her theme was mental telepathy. She spoke of day-dreams and referred to the dreams of Lincoln, Booker T. Washington, June Brown, Gardison and DuBois, Dumbar, Mrs.-H. B. Stowe and others, which have come true. She said we are living in a critical time, and she hoped every one would be an Ideal citizen. "Be true black Americans in spite of some oppression. Every man and woman remain true to your dreams, and do whatever you are asked to do, if it is right. At the end of her cli max the applause was so great it echoed and re-echoed in the four large galleries. The Home Guards band sitting in the choir loft, played the patriotic medley ending with the Star Spangled Banner at which the massive audience arose. The Forum collection was $14. The program for Sunday, October 28th, will be extraordinary. The commissioned U. S. officers are specially invited to be present. Summer Choral club will sing and Prof. Grisham, ex-Principal of Lincoln High, will speak and the men will march from another church to the Forum. Don't miss the Forum. Women's Day will be November 18. Come then. Also, come every Sunday. C. M. Cattles, Pub. Com. NOTICE TO CLUB NO. 8.

The City Federation and all Art clubs and Reading Circles are asked to attend and sit in a body in front seats. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. A.Bowren. His discourse was "The Word of God is to the Soul as the Rain Is to the Earth." It was a beautiful sermon well thought out, and well delivered, showing a prayerful preparation. A large audience was present to enjoy it, many strangers included, a fact which we were glad to notice because there is a standing welcome to First Baptist to all the people. Two of the delegates to the Baptist State convention, Mrs. Frances Watson and Deacom Henry Moberly, gave very concise reports upon the convention affairs. Tell everybody about the big citizen's meeting and farewell reception to our colored soldiers next Sunday, Oct. 28th, at 3 p. m. at the First A. M. E. church, corner Eighth and Nebraska avenue. Congressman Little will speak. Let every colored citizen come out to the First A. M.

LICENSE BAKERS GOVERNMENT SAYS. BREAD PRICES. MUST COME DOWN. Washington, Oct. 25.—The American cambers are notebl licensed. They will be compelled to operate directly under the federal administration after November 1. As a consequence, Food Director Hoover says bread prices will convenience. There are two planes Hoover has in mind for cheapest loaf. One is the governmental fixing of the price of a standard loaf when it leaves the battery. The other calls for the fixing of the weight of the loaf and making public the cost and leaving the retail prices smaller subject to the pressure of public opinion. After November 1 every baker in the country will be required to make a daily report to the United States food administration. These reports will show accounts of ingredients and labor-assisted distribution costs. From these daily reports there will be compiled figures showing the exact cost of bread in every locality. These figures will be released for publication at frequent intervals. PARCELS EARLY 1. Chicago, Oct. 26.

GERMANS GROW DESPERATE, TRY TO STOP ITALIANS GERMANS GROW DESPERATE, TRY TO STOP ITALIANS RUSHING HALF MILLIO NMEN TO JULIAN BATTLE LINE. FAILUR ESPELLS DISASTER. ITALIANS PREPARED FOR DRIVE AND WILL CRUSH ENEMY. Berlin, Oct, 25.—Reinforced by more than 500,000 seasoned veterans, the Teutons have started one of the year's biggest drives with a carefully prepared, terrific attack against the Italians, for which every available German and Austrian soldies and every available Teuton gun has been quietly concentrated for weeks. GoGman direction, German men and German material are in propondance. The attacking front is on the Julian battle line and extends from Fitch southeastward via the Tolmino sector of the northern ledge of the Bainsizza plateau, a total distance of more than 30 miles. Italy knew the blow was coming and prepared to meet it and there is every indication that the Teutonic rush will be stopped dead in its tracks before the sturdy resistance of General Cordona's gallant Italian army. Berlin has officially announced the capture of the foremost Italian positions in each of these three vital sectors. The immediate aim of the offensive is to crush in the dangerous wedge General' Cordona has driven into the Austrian lines, a wedge which for months has threatened to separate the Austrian Izonso and Carso armies, completely isolate the latter, and opening teh way to Klagenfurt and Laiboeh. GAPPER TELLS DUTY OF STAY-AT-HOMES MUST MAKE MANY GREAT SACRIFICES, SAYS KANSAS GOVERNOR Gov. Arthur Capper, in his address before the local union of Christian Endeavor in the First Presbyterian church yesterday, afternoon, pointed out clearly the duty of those who are left behind. He said that every stay-at-home should loan much of his treasure to the government and give to other war campaign funds. If everyone does this they then will not have met the sacrifice of those who have offered their lives. "The United States will win the war," added the governor, "but before it is won many sacrifices will have to be made. Those who can loan money to the government should so so now and the giving at this time will give the 'boys,' in the trenches a chance to do better. The 'boys' also need the moral support of those at home and the supporting of the Liberty loan is one of the best opportunities to give them that support." The famous Alabama quartette will sing Sunday at 3 p. m. at the farewell reception of our soldier boys at First A. M. E. church. G. A. Grégg, Conference President for Kansas and Nebraska. Topics: "Ministering to Christ" Matt. 25: 21:42. One of the most important facts about Christianity is that its existence is only known by its daily contact with man. It is the key to our service. The cup of cold water, the kind word, the smile are outward evidences of the ministering to Christ. He who treats his fellow man right has learned of Christ and is helping his cause along. Let us watch our ministering for in it are the evidences of Christianity. THEY SAY THAT Mrs. D. W. Booker is one of the best extemporaneous female speakers we've heard lately. "Do not forget the great day, Women's Day at Forum, Sunday, Nov. 18." "Where are those of our race who declared that there would be no colored officers? Five hundred and twenty-five officers is pretty good and showed someone was mistaken." "And where are those prejudiced ones of other races, who did not want colored soldiers? The U. S. does do some things for the black race." "It is hard to find larger or more up-to-date brand new houses than in the popular block of our people on Washington Boulevard between Ninth and Tenth." "A certain prominent widow is tired of large houses and wants a three-room brick cottage where she can live out her days alone, as she has had many sulters, but prefers to be her own boss. They say she lives as well as any." "The Kansas Club ought to win the prize if they get two or five dollars as there were only two of them who ever met together." SOLDIERS AT FUNSTON ARE FINE FIGHTERS THEY'D MAKE NAPOLEON'S MEN * LOOK LIKE TI NSOLDIERS, SAYS LITTLE. Col. E. C. Little spoke Wednesday to 2,500 members of the 353d regiment at Camp Funston. He boosted the Liberty bonds and gave the boys some good advice about going to war. He says they have as fine a body of young men as he ever saw in the world. He told the boys that if their generals are any good they ought to ebable to make old Napoleon Bonapart look like a tin soldier. The old Twentieth Kansas lieutenant colonel found that the present lieutenant colonel of the 353d regiment served in the same brigade with the Kansans in the Philippines. Colonel Reeves and Colonel Hawkins, he says, are very fine soldiers, and the Kansans are in mighty good hands. Col. Little called attention to the fact that the French army has lost 11.4 per cent killed in battle or died from wounds in teh last six months. He said that the Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota regiments in a six months campaign lost 95 men out of 3,000, a loss of only 3 per cent. So the boys in going to war have little to be "buffaloed" about. Col. Little spent the night with Major General Leonard Wood at his cottage on teh hillside abive the camp and where the general is in command of 40,000 mem. The two veterans of the Spanish-American and Philippine wars sat up pretty late about General Wood's old fashioned fireplace discussing the records of the Twentieth Krusas in the Philippines and the Rough Riders in Cuba. Miss Perkins, the private secretary of Madame Booker, is a fine stenographer and in looks is equally so, but the Madame kays she is hers, double so, so boys, it's only may-be so. so. Mrs. Cornell of Freeman avenue, is quite ill at this writing.

IS UNDER WAY IN K. C. Old Man H. G. of L. is going to get a furful black eye if the plains that A. H. Adcox is formulating go through. Adcox is promoting a "co-operating, stoe." According to Webster's Unabridged dictionary, "co-operative" means to get together—to work in harmony, and that is what Adcox says will be done. The idea is this: A number of families will get together and form an association who will buy in partnership from the manufacturers of food products, the refineries, the dairies, etc., and pay for them as they are used at the exact cost price of the food stuffs plus the cost of draying and minor expenditures that are called overhead expenses by the small retailer and which are the basis of the high prices now being charged. The rent of the store, the lights, clerk hire and miscellaneous expense will be paid out of a general assessment fund that will be amassed in this way. Every family, according to the number of adults in it will pay a certain amount for the privilege of buying at the stores. Such as a family of two adults regardless of the number of children, would pay about $1 per month, or of three adults about $1.25 and so on. Only those who pay these assessments will be allowed to buy at the stores. On paper the scheme looks good. All that its success depends on is this: A sufficient number of families must go into it, so that at the end of the month enough money comes in, in assessments, to defray the "overhead charges."

There is very little expenditure of any kind and any monkeys that are spent can only be, spent with the approval of the board of directors and the president. There are three men and two women on the board and they are elected by the popular vote of the members of the community. The president is also elected by vote and he left in power only as long as he makes good. The people are to be the judge of that. The first meeting was called night before last at a place on Minnesota Ave., and arrangements were made to open the first store at Thirteenth street and Stewart avenue where there was another meeting last night. Mr. Adcor was made the president, protem and a temporary committee was nominated who will be in charge until everything is settled and all is running well, when there will be another election. There were about 350 people in attendance at the first meeting and at the one last night twice that number. Emphasis reigned supreme as the announcement was made that the location for the first, store was made and the first month's rent paid. All seems assured of the ultimate success of the plan and it appears to The Globe that such a store will "make good" from the very start. There is so much talk of the small grocery man "robbing" the "poor working man" that this is the chance for the people to try their own hand at the "game." If they don't make good now, then let them eat the words many of us have heard and "Forever hold their peace."

HASTEN TO END WAR SAYS SCOTT That the war was not the choice of the United States and that the conditions could not have been longer honorably tolerated, without interference, was the statement of Charles F. Scott of Iola, Kan, last night in delivering an address at the First Congregational church. Mr. Scott appeared under the auspices of the Men's Sunday Evening club. Mr. Scott detailed the causes that resulted in the United States finally entering the conflict and made an appeal that everyone strive to hasten the victory the Americans are sure to obtain. The support of the Liberty Loan, he said, is necessary and none should deceive to deny himself that he may be his "hit" for such a cause. BUY THE BONDS AS INVESTMENT URGES COL. LITTLE EXEMPT FROM TAXES, EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD OWN IF BONDS DON'T SELL MONEY MUST BE RAISED IN TAXES Congressman Edward C. Little remarked this morning that in all the arguments he had heard for the sale of the Liberty Bonds they had overlooked the best material argument The Colonel said: "For example, if the people of Kansas City, Kansas, could get all these bonds and hold them in lots of less than $5000, whatever we put into the bonds would be free of taxation and the rest of the country would have to pay taxes to pay interest on these bonds. It looks to me like that is a good investment. It is better than a six per cent loan without doubt. "The money to finance this war going to be raised. Don't doubt that a minute. If the bonds don't sell this supply will have to be raised by taxation. If you buy a bond you draw interest from the government and it gets the use of your money but if you pay taxes you don't get any interest but the government will get the money and it will be spent to help the soldiers just the same. I certainly ought to be profitable to any community in a financial way to draw interest instead of paying taxes. I consider the bonds a much better investment than taxes if you look at it from a purely personal material standpoint. "Congress was asked to issue these bonds so that the wealth of the present day might not be taxed too greatly and so that the people of the future should pay some of the expenses of this great war from whose results we hope they will benefit, and it is to be hoped that the bonds will sell so that the purpose of Congress in offering the bonds will be accomplished. If this isn't done it is very doubtful whether Congress will be much disposed to offer further opportunities to any great extent. "Really the only serious division of opinion in Congress no wis concerning taxation. The question is on what class of property and people it shall be levied. My views on that I think are quite well known in the district. There is another feature of this that deserves great attention and suggestion. Money to be raised by taxation can't be had at once and whatever we think about the future of taxation, some of these bonds must be sold so that the government will have a sufficient supply of ready money. If the rich people buy these bonds, the rest of us will have to pay taxes to pay the interest on them. If we get the bonds the people of great wealth will have to pay taxes to pay the interest on our bonds." COAL SHORTAGE BEATEN WITH OIL COAL SHORTAGE BEATEN WITH OIL GOLDEN OIL COMPANY*DRILLING —POWER INSTALLED ON NEW WELL Dr. Prouse, secretary of the Golden Oil company, received word from Messrs. DeLoe and Rugh, the company's drillers, that they were on the Golden company's leases near Chanute. The drill was rigged up and at work on the first of a series of ten wells which this firm of oil well drillers have contracted to drill for the Golden company. They were to begin drilling October 10, but owing to the fact of a coal shortage in Chanute that fuel could not be obtained, hence a delay was necessary until power which the Golden company has purchased had been installed so their new well could be pumped. This power was installed and pumping began Saturday, of last wee kand drill was started at once. Their second well is now on the way, the work will be pushed with all vigor possible, day, and night shifts will be run and in 15 or 20 days this well will be completed. Messrs. DeLoe and Rugh are superintending the field work and the well will be pumped regularly, and oil used for drilling and also oil will be stored for sale. When their present installed tank is full others will be added as needed and thus their equipment will grow. The well now drilling will also cancel the rental on more of their acreage, and as soon as brought in it too will be placed on the pump and add to the dividend fund in the production of oil. Rev. D.
