BEAR CATS, 805TH PIONEER INF'T'Y ON WAY HOME We publish a fine letter from two of our home boys, and who are special admirers of The Advocate. The letter referring to General Pershing was published in last week's issue, sent in by Comrade Robinson of this city. This infantry, which is made up of a large number of Kansas City, Kansas, boys, has been awarded the highest honors for their excellent work "over seas" by General Pershing, receiving before they leave France a silver ribbon and later on the silver band will, properly engraved, be sent to this special organization, the 805th Pioneer Infantry, who are known in France and war circles for their fighting qualities as "The Bear Cats." They were to leave Brest June the 1st, for home, in case they got away they will land on their native land Saturday or Sunday. Camp Pontenaglu, Brest, France, May 18, 1919. Dear Editor Kennedy: It is indeed a great pleasure for the "Bear Cats" to write The Advocate informing you that we received a copy of The Advocate dated April 25th, with the interesting article about our ball team. We are glad to inform The Advocate and its readers that the boys are enjoying very good health and the beautiful spring weather of sunny France. We have been here for two weeks making preparations to return to our loved ones. We are looking forward to the day when we will load on the boat and start homeward, with great pleasure. We consider it the very greatest of pleasure to inform The Advocate and its patrons that the 805th Pioneer Infantry, or the "Bear Cats" has done its bit, and is now the ranking pioneer infantry in France. Enclosed is a letter from General Pershing to us, awarding us a silver ribbon for our most excellent work done during the Meuse-Argonne offensive. We hope you can find space to print the letter, and let the people know what the boys whom they sent away ten months ago have done for the great cause of democracy. Hoping that we may return to our loved ones with highest honors possible, we wil close wishing The Adbocate the very greatest of success. We remain yours respectfully, THE BEAR CATS, Corp.

LINCOLN HIGH DRAWS MAM- MOTH CROWD The Annual Exhibition of Lincoln High school, drawn one of the largest crowds at Convention Hall last Thursday night that has ever been seen on an occasion of this kind. The exhibition was clean and entertaining from start to finish. The fashion display of 150 girls, dressed in garments made with their own hands, also the hats worn, showing every style from the kitchen to the lovely bride, was a beautiful sight, as well as what each stood for, when they stepped around the arena floor to the music of the High School Cadet band. Handsome girls, handsome costumes, handsome headwear, made a most spectacular scene. The other exhibitions could be said as much for in their demonstrations. The Middle West only have one J. R. E.

G. Dwiggins addressed the Pleasant Green Baptist church congregation at 11 o'clock service. In fitting terms she complimented the pastor and members for having built such a magnificent church, and swayed her hearers with her eloquence, explaining the work of the N A. A. C. P., and the absolute necessity of the race getting together, that the pressing issues rising daily, demanded immediate action. She stated that the association as they entered upon their campaign that they needed the co-operation of the ministers of the various churches. This was solicited and granted and each minister pledged his support and a sermon from each was expected, explanatory of the spring drive. The quota of membership to be given according to the number of members. Her services rendered, she stated was gratis, the only compensation desired was to see the race rally to a movement, which meant their salvation and to encourage and snow their appreciation for the untiring efforts of such men as Moorefield Storey, Spingarn, Shilliday and DuBois, who had not only given their time and talent, but money, liberally to free us, physically from peonage, and politically from disfranchisement, mentally from ignorance, socially from insult. That DuBois, one of the marcyrs of the, race, one who felt in some degree that his life belongs to his race, and that what God gave him was for the good of mankind, went to Paris, where the doctrines of mankind were centered and the problems, for the world, were being solved. Helped to pass resolutions for us that the world had to approve and after investigating the treatment of our troops over there, requested that a history of the facts of the Negro in the war be compiled and published. The Associated Press is endeavoring to future the idea in the minds of the people that lynching and rape bear the relation of cause and effect, giving the statistics of country, which do not bear out such assertion, that the nation will be compelled to conquer and crush out this evil before it can support in any way the weak against the strong. Arise to the occasion, help abolish legal injustice, segregation, help prevent lynching, burning alive. America the only country in civilized which practices this barbarism. She pleaded for bulldog tenacity in demanding our rights as we manifest in war and other things, urged upon us to help by giving our memberships to emancipate our race of nearly 12,000,000 American-born citizens. Now that since our boys fought for their country, hoping that by the blessing of God, that it would prove spendid monument, not of oppression, terror, but wisdom, peace and liberty, but they were sorely disappointed—the expected democracy failed, but they are still hoping, for God still reigns and they know that he who loses wealth loses much; he who loses friend loses more; but he who loses courage loses all. They cannot spare their all, but will help in the fight for black rights and it THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor.

And as there was a large congregation present, it was an incentive to see so many preaching the Word of God. In the afternoon Pastor Holmes preached at Independence; as the weather was inclement, at 8 p. m., and the officers of the church were late in coming, many came and went away and whn the pastor did begin service there were not so many present. Nevertheless, this Sunday June 8th, come out, rain or shine, as we are expected to serve God in shower as well as in sunshine. We hope they will begin service at 8 p. m., if only three are present. Sacrament will be given and something of great importance will be announced. Come. A program made up of best, talent from all of our churches, Women's Day, Sunday, June 22nd At First A.M. E. Church. NEGRO LABOR STIRS UP THINGS CHICAGO.-The Chicago American Association of Commerce has stirred up a veritable "hornets" nest" in its gratuitous efforts to "furnish surplus Negro labor to southern communities." It develops that there is a small conspiracy of plans, backed by orther white men," who have capital invested in the south, to get the black laborers south. As a matter of fact, there is a great demand for laborers in the South, and there is an increasing demand for laborers in the Norh, but the race men are exercising careful judgment in deciding where they go, and only a small percentage care in the least to return South. Many of them are going North nad West, but few South. In addition to this, as fast as they can get passports, thousands of foreigners are going back to their native lands abroad. So great has been the demand, for one reason and another, that congress has been besieged with requests to pass a law placing restrictions on emigration. All of this makes the race man a most important factor in the economy. mig situation. There is every reason to believe that, in the long run, he will fare far better because of the pressing demand for industrial workers in many fields. The majority of the communities that received the famous telegram from the Chicago Association of Commerce have sent representatives up here to "look them over" have returned to their homes with the opinion that there has been a change in the manner of the people who once were kept from knowing that "a man's a man for a that."

"No," replied the celebrated explorer. "There was always something to occupy my time and attention." "But didn't you ever feel the need of a little small talk?" "Never.

Before leaving permit me to say to you that North Carolina and Governor Bickett have tied themselves together to make North Carolina the model state. The chief man of the state has set an example that all the others may follow. He is a man every inch of him. Put it down that I told you so. I want you to know it. I met the Rev. C. E. Askew, D.D., and will tell you about him later. I have discussed him, in another letter. I have told you, about the Rev. S. A. Williams, of Tampa, and will say he is getting into the hearts of the men who are being elected to the general conference, and I expect to see him Bishop Williams. He is a worthy man. Now, coming from there to here; and you know I have been here before. But I have never had people to handle me like they have here and you are not surprised at my coming back. I came back on the invitation of J. S. Jones, the banker, and when you can get in the home of a representative man of the race go there. It is fine to know how they live, and then how they know how to treat a fellow. I think while in this home I have had the big head, and have not felt like speaking to the other folks. It seems that W. H. Holland united with him to make me feel like I was some pumpkins. Reaching the town, both of these men were down there' to meet me and soon had me on board, toting me around. The people looked, especially those who had not seen me before, and I could imagine that everybody were looking and asking "What handsome man is that with Jones and Holland?" I carried with me an air of none of your business who I is. Now to the home and the queen of the mansion met me with a smile of "You are welcome to our home." The two little girls and the boy of the Jones' made me welcome and the table laden with things for my eternity made me welcome, and the bed, which said it was especially prepared for me made me welcome. If I just had a little more time I would like to describe the home, but will in another letter, because I want to tell you a few more things that happened. Some they have made me pledge not to tell, and I will not. --- Portsmouth, Va.—"I have seen somethings to make me real happy since I wrote you the last time, and I feel like shouting even right now, but then I dare not tshow myself in a world like this, hence I will just sing "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." You may join in the chorus when I am through telling you, if there is any chorus left. For instance, I have meen to Method, N. C. Raleigh and in and around there for several days. Have you ever heard of Berry O'Kelly? He is one of the live wires in this race of ours and one of the most influential men of the age in which he lives. Influential because he is doing things. He is a worker and not a talker. He would hardly be able to make a real speech if it already had on its Sunday clothes, but when it comes to a business talk, and doing business, count on him. I was invited to be in Method at the commencement of the Berry O'Kelly industrial school. You can see that he is some pumpkins, where there is a school named for him while he lives, and carrying his full name. This is due to the fact that he put up the money, or most of it, to erect the buildings, purchase the land, and and then to keep it going. He has plenty of money, and is putting it in a man-making machine, since man is mind. He got the inspiration when a young man to do something, and then to live on and on in the hearts of those who are to come after him I never saw a man with so much influence righ tin the sho' nuf south. He just invited me to go around with him one day. He went to the office of Governor Bickett, and it opened up to Berry O'Kelly without a question, and then to the educational department, and Mr. Newbold received us as he would any other big men, and took time and talked as long as we stayed. He told of his work, and said some mighty good things about the youth of our race. He is striving to see to it that in the rural schools are pulled, up and for all the children in the country in the future there will be six months instead of two and three, I never went to so many state officials in the south since I have been this color, and there was good treatment. None were too busy to see "Berry O'Kelly." I am proud that we have such a man in the race. Just a word about the Commencement. The exercises were in the school, building and the auditorium is indeed a large one. What do you think of the Governor of a state coming down to introduce one of our men? Governor Bickett left his home, and went down to Method and introduced Dr. Robert R. Moton, the sage of Tuskegee Institute. He said some mighty good things about Dr. Moton and his work. I wish I had been one of them fast writers to have taken them down. But they are now in history. I hope to read the history. There are many things being said that would be good to hand down to our children. Believe me when I tell you that Dr. Moton is a safe leader, I care not what others may say about him. He is just the man of the hour, and we need to praise him. We need to encourage him right now instead of waiting until he is dead, and then gather around his open grave and praise God for his life. He is doing his good work, and let that funeral oration come out now. If I am doing anything tell me now, so I may smell the flowers which you place on my casket that I cannot smell when I am dead. A kind word will help a man work all the harder. Raleigh is full of good men, and some men are in their old age, and are raising—well, I dare not say that, for I would perhaps strike Col. J. H. Young, whose star struck around Mars, Jupiter or some of them other high up fellows, and now it is below zero. I consider any man down who would try to inflame the white people against his race. Who would go into the daily press and over his signature declare that some other man was saying bad things about white folks. He did not raise himself in the estimation of the white folks or any other folks. But I want to pray God to forgive him, for he is getting in his dotage, and his head is ripe for eternity, and is now homesick. Let us all pray God to spare his life that he may repent for what he said. PAGE THREE My feet hardly touched the ground. Two automobiles at my confrogatirtermus. I mean to say to you that I could use them when I wanted to use them and ride when I wanted to ride, and not walk even to my meals. I got to town on Decoration day and saw the parade, which was fine. Our people did not forget the dead, but went to the graveyard with flowers, shed a few tears, heard a few cations and then returned to their homes, not knowing who will be the next Madam Walker left us, as you know. Levi C. Brown, president of the Mutual Savings Bank, of Portsmouth, toted me out to the graveyard in his wagon and then let me see the parade. He has just bought him a new horseless wagon, and it is an easy runner. I spent some time in the evening at the home of W. H. Holland. Do you remember him? He is commissory steward in the navy, one of the most important positions held by any of our race in the navy. He is now about to retire from the place. You will recall that I told you that he was on the biggest fighting ship in the navy, and when he retired from it took two white men to hold down his position, and doubt whether they will be able to do it. He is like his friend, Jones, well trained. His wife is a very queen. She is a Fisk University graduate. I have never seen a woman like Mrs. Jones. She likes to do for you for we had to leave the city Saturday morning and she was up bright and early, had breakfast cooked, using her own hands, and got us off in time to get the wagon for Richmond I was with Jones and Holland, and had absolutely no use for money. They would not allow me to even pay for my ticket to Richmond. "You are our guest." We were met in town by an automobile, and toted around to see the town, and then Mr. Jones attended to business matters. I wish I could tell you about the dinner, and where we had it, how the plates were not willing to give up the dirt, and how the meat was talking to us, but that is one of the things they told me not to tell, and I will not tell it. I know how to keep things if you tell me to keep them. We visited the two banks and were cordially, received. Then we beat it to Newport News, Hampton, Buckroe, Norfolk, reaching Portsmouth about 12 o'clock. I will have to stop here, but in my next letter I am going to tell you about the banks, especially the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, which will open June 9. Look for my next letter. J. O.

Gen, John J. O'Ryan, who has just returned from France, has brought back a, number of humorous stories of the battlefield. Here 4s one he tells about, an English sentinel: “The Twenty-seventh division was ip Flanders, where it rains almost con- tnuonsly,” began the general. “There were English troops.billeted near by. One night, after a particularly hard rain, this English chap was on duty. .When he thought no ofe was around he began to curse everything tn gen- eral, the weather, the Germans and his own luck. ‘Oh, I say, this {s blawsted weather, dontcha know, I wish I was out of this beastly mud,' the English sentry muttered, A™few minutes later he was cursing the rain which beat in bis face, ‘Gawd, but I wish I was out of this beastly water,’ he mused again. Just then the Ger- mans opened.a heavy fire and made things uncomfortable for everyone. ‘Oh, Gawd, but this is beastly,’ sald the seitry, raising his volce. ‘Oh, I do hate those blawsted Germans. 1 wish I were dead.’ Simultaneously with bis last words a big ‘Minnle” dropped almost at the sentry's feet. When he recovered he,was lying In a hole covered with mud but uninjured, The sentry sat up, rubbed the mud from his eyes, and then gazing heav- enward, said, ‘Oh, I say, Gawd, cawn't you take a blawsted joke?’"—New York Sun.

For many years a few steamships from the far east have brought fuel oil back to Britain in the ballast space hetween their inner and outer hulls. The practice never became general, however, and “tankers” continued to handle the bulk of the trade, But in June, 1917, increased submarine activ- ity and the expansion of the allied fleets made immediate additions to tank tonnage so Imperative that not a few, but hundreds, of British and American “double bottoms” were fitted for this auxiliary cargo. Apart from its war-time results this new practice has taught marine engineers many les- sons that will guide them in designing the oil-burning ships of tomorrow.— Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Mr. Lloyd George would seem, says Liverpool Post, to have had a premoni- tion of his future eminence when he paid, a first visit to London.as a lad of nineteen. “Went to the house of commons,” he wrote home to his uncle, “Very disappointed.

Too much stress cannot be Dut upon the advantage of fresh air Iu the work rooms. Charcoal dust and close quarters without ventila- tion are responsible for a large pro- Portion of accidents, as employees are not alert and able properly to protect themselves when they are logy from bad air and artificial light. As goon as the hours when artificial light are reduced by the longer hours of day- light in the spring we invariably find @ corresponding reduction in the ac- cidents repoits, “At least a part of the increased re- ports are due to more efficient report- ing. A strenuous campaign has been waged to effect this end and it means that we come nearer to getting a sount on at least the more serious accidents in factories in our state.” The Golden Belt Editorial Confer- suce will have its annual meeting on May 3 at Hays in the building of the fort Hays Kansas Normal School..
