Colonel Young, being an instructor in this well and widely known school for a number of years, and many of its students coming west, living in the two cities, the meeting was that of a family reunion, after many years separation. The gathering was a most enjoyable one, and many experiences and reminiscences of college life were dug up and made the property of much amusement. Songs of ye olden days were sung, accompanied on the piano by Col. Young, Mr. Oneil Mitchell, and Mr. A. L. Foster. The colonel never enjoys himself quite so well as when he can meet with a bunch of Wilberforceians. An abundance of refreshments were served during the evening and it was at a pretty late hour when the twenty-five or more departed to their homes. Those who were present were the honored guest, Colonel Charles A. Young, U. S. A.; Mrs. Gertrude Jenkins and her little daughter, Yvette; Miss Anna Jones, Rev. G. E. Horsey, Editor Thos.

CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY nt," Wednesday, June COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES WESTERN UNIVERSITY President Peck Closes Very Comm Work. Colonel Young of United States Vital Message. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY BIG EVENT President Peck Closes Very Commendable Year's Work. Colonel Young of United States Army Brings Vital Message. Western University and Lincoln High School cadets joined in a big demonstration to celebrate the Annual Comencement exercises of that great institution. The Lincoln High School band and cadets forming a military escort for Colonel Young, marched from The Paseo Y. M. C. A. on Eighteenth street to Grand and north on Grand to Ninth, thence to Eighth and Wyandotte streets. Here the cadets and band boarded special cars and were taken to Kansas City, Kansas, where Civilized Long Before 1861. "Contrary to the stated belief, the black man was not freed fifty years ago in America, a savage. We were a civilized people under the highest laws of men when we came over here, and we were a civilized people when we were freed. Had we not been, we could not have taken the white man's language, religion, customs and habits—good and bad—and progressed as we have. I am proud of that achievement. "Beginning back in ancient history, the black people had kingdoms and civilization. The sphinx of Egypt is fashioned with a flat nose and the mouth of a black man. No one knows when it was carved from the rock, or what early nation of artists fashioned it. I am proud that I am a black man. When it comes to statesmanship and ability, you will get plenty of it among the black men. "You had better get out your good black clothes that the good God made you in and stay with the genius of the black man he has given us. We need more knowledge of the history and accomplishments so our own race." Twenty-five members of the graduating class were given diplomas. An entertainment of music and speaking was given, in which three students delivered orations of their own composition. One of the largest crowds attended the commencement exercises that has been seen on the campus for years, and weather conditions kept away as many more. President Peck has done a noble work for the school in his first year's administration, although he entered upon it with a number of handicaps. The music rendered by Prof. Jackson's chorus and Miss Carney's Girls' Glee Club was of high class. The orations by the two young ladies and the young man showed thoroughness of the finished course. Those who met Colonel Young at the depot were Dr. T. C. Chapman, Rev. J. F. Griffin, Dr. Perry, Attorney W. C. Houston, Editor N. C. Crews, Dr Miller and Editor Thos. Kennedy. They were joined later at the Y. M. C. A. by others and with their honored guest went on a sightseeing trip over the boulevards. The Wilberforce Club of the two cities entertained Colonel Young Thursday evening from 8 to 12 at the residence of Dr. Chapman. About twenty-five were present. A new store, 524 Minnesota avenue, The Leader, is opening up under very encouraging conditions. The managers and proprietors are liberal with their customers and cater to the demands of the public. Their goods are fresh and new and prices commensurate with conditions. These gentlemen offer their goods under the slogan, "Better Merchandise for Less." Good reports are reaching us to the effect that they are rapidly coming to the front because of their satisfactory dealings. The Advocate readers are finding bargains with The Leader people.

The Lincoln High School band and cadets forming a military escort for Colonel Young, marched from The Paseo Y. M. C. A. on Eighteenth street to Grand and north on Grand to Ninth, thence to Eighth and Wyandotte streets. Here the cadets and band boarded special cars and were taken to Kansas City, Kansas, where they met the committee and honored guest again in autos at Fifth and Minnesota avenue and took up their line of march west on Minnesota avenue to Eighth street. Throngs of white and colored people crowded the walks to hear the martial strains and get sight of the greatest militray genius the race has produced in a century. The final lap of the march was made from the end of the Quindaro car line to the University, led by the University band, where a large tent, under which 5,000 people awaited in anxious expectancy the arrival of the guest of honor and his escort. At 3 o'clock the program began. The music and orations of the graduates showed careful and scientific training, this reflecting the high quality of the faculty. Colonel Young was introduced by Editor Crews of the Kansas City Sun in an eloquent and stirring speech. The colonel arose to the occasion with the Chautauqua salute from 5,000 hands. He appeared in the trim uniform of his rank. His bearing was graceful, his gestures were fitting and his voice reached every part of the large tent. The audience sat in wrap attention. Every eye was fastened upon the polished and erudite speaker who, without manuscript, launched into one of the most notable addresses heard in this part of the country for some time. Time and again the speaker drove home his points with telling force by the employment of the famous Sorites Method. We quote from his speech: "If you want the freedom that President Wilson has asked for the world, and I take it that he means freedom for both black and white you have got to get back to God, and realize that there is a 'divnie consciousness in the world,' Colonel Young said. "The black people have gone to hating, and that gets you nowhere. Love, Christianity, gentleness, kindness and courtliness get us everywhere. How many here can give several good reasons why they are proud of the black race? "I am proud God made me black," said Colonel Young. "I am proud that I belong to a race that has solved problems in Africa that we are struggling with in America to day. In Africa, among the black nations, there is no poverty; no prostitution; no ill harmony among the peoples. The missionaries who wen there to save the black people found the black people were saving them selves and that many others did not need saving. I am proud that I am of a race that has a higher sympathy for its fellow man, and which has a more beautiful disposition and a more appreciative view of art, literature and culture, in spite of its pov Notes.

B. Young, made a short talk. He recounted the progress of the race from the past fifty years. He said that it was fitting that the race at this point in its history should celebrate the coming of the Negro to America three hundred years ago, and the race celebrate that time by opening a bank near the spot where the slaves landed with a trust department. The officers of the bank are P. B. Young, president; G. H. Francis, M. D., Levi C. Brown, and M. R. Jackson, vice-presidents; J. S Jones is the secretary treasurer.

Start Friday night, June. 13th. "Salt Boulevard," between Kanopolis and Ellsworth, is being planned by the board of county commissioners. The material to be used on the road will be cinders and salt, both of which can be obtained at the Kanopolis salt works free, except the cost of hauling. The plan for a "salt boulevard" is fathered by County Engineer Storey, who says the undertaking by no means is an experiment. He asserts highways have been constructed before of these materials, and have proven very satisfactory. If properly graded, he says, the combination makes a hard, compact substance which sheds water and dries out quickly after a storm. Attorney General R. J. Hopkins has sent a circular letter to the county attorneys of Kansas calling attention to the fact that he received many complaints that the state law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes is being continuously violated. The attorney general's letter says: "War conditions caused an extensive use of cigarettes among the soldiers, and it seemed for a while that the legislature would repeal the anti-cigarette law, as it now exists. However, that did not happen, and it remains your duty to see that the law is enforced." HERE IT IS. History of the American Negro in the Great World War by W. Allison Sweney.

THE SUMMERett TCOMPANY THE SUMMERSET COMPANY Mountairn, N. J. U.S.A. PENSION FUND FOR WORKERS Meteor Motorcar Company Announces Plans Which It Has Formulated. ALONG CO-OPERATIVE LINES Employers and Employees Will Contribute Equally to Fund Raised—General Labor News Notes of Interest to All. The Meteor Motorcar company of Piqua, O., manufacturers of automobile hearses, ambulances and phonographs, has just announced its intention of creating a pension fund. The Meteor company will deposit $1 every week in a local bank for every employee, provided that employee also deposits $1. The company also carries from $1,000 to $3,000 insurance policy for every employee. The announcement of this plan came as a surprise to the workers at a meeting in St. George's hall, which was attended by the workers and their families. The plan calls for the deduction of 25 cents from the sale of all phonographs and $10 from the sale of all cars, this money to be put into a special fund for the pensioning of all employees who, through old age, sickness and accidents, are unable to work. Employees who have worked for the company five years or more, will receive 25 per cent of the maximum wages paid, while those who have worked ten years for the company will get 50 per cent of wages paid. NEWS FROM THE LABOR FIELD Women constitute 24.5 per cent of India's factory workers. Representatives of organized labor have asked the Canadian government for stronger beer. A 10 per cent increase in wages and a 44-hour week are being asked by garment workers in Chicago. Guatemala manufactures annually about 100,000,000 cigarettes, worth approximately $135,000 in American currency. Loggers and timber workers in Vancouver, B. C., are organizing and expect to have their organization 100 per cent. The general strike inaugurated by the Seattle Central Labor union was an undertaking in violation of the rues and regulations of the American Federation of Labor. Unofficial estimates show 30,000 unemployed men in Minnesota. Estimates based on government figures for Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth show a smaller total. The situation is improving in the smaller towns. It is stationary in the cities. Most of the anthracite mines in and about Scranton, Pa., are working only half-time at present. Inasmuch as there are some 25,000 men and boys so employed working but three days a week, it can be said, from a dollar and cents standpoint, that there are approximately 12,500 men and boys unemployed about the collieries. An important meeting of the railwaymen of Paris and neighborhood was held at the Bourse du Travall recently when demands were put forward which included a sliding scale of wages, an eight-hour day, a weekly holiday, and the nationalization of railways. The meeting instructed the executive of the Railwaymen's federation to obtain these demands by a given date. An agreement in the waist and dress strike, which lasted eleven weeks, was effected at New York between the manufacturers and International Ladies' Garment Workers' union. It was announced. Benjamin Schlesinger, president of the garment workers' organization, said that the union had won the 44-hour work week and increase in pay, averaging 10 per cent and the right of union delegates with representatives of the Manufacturers' association to visit shops to see that the conditions of the settlement are observed. Announcement was made of an allotment by George Eastman, president of the Eastman Kodak company, Rochester, N. Y., to older employees of the company of 10,000 of its common shares, having a present market value of nearly $6,000,000. This stock is to be sold to employees at the par value of $100 a share, on an easy payment plan, the proceeds, amounting to $1,000,000, to go into an employees' welfare fund. The company itself has agreed to set aside a like amount of its unissued common stock to be sold at par to the newer employees as they become eligible through length of service. Details about the "peace" activities of Krupps disclose the interesting fact that their working staff rose from 65,000 in 1914 to 170,000 in 1918. The number of employees in Essen itself was raised from 34,000 to 105,000. It is claimed that the Essen works today employs only 32,000 hands. Saginaw (Mich.) miners, part of the 1,800 strikers of the Michigan district, voted to return to work to permit adjustment of the matters under dispute. The district executive board will now be given the assistance and support of the international organization in the settlement of the differences. THE 'BEAR CATS" WALLOP ALL WHO COME IN FRANCE Headquarters 806th Pioneer Infantry, Camp Pontanezen, A. P. O. 716, May 19, 1919. Special Advocate Correspondence. “BEARCAT BULLETIN” Bearcats of the 805th shut out 803rd by 7 to 0 score. Newcomers want Sunday game and get it. 5,000 fans watch battle at Motor Park. Foote fans 4; allows but 4 hits. It all happened because the 803rd Pioneer Infantry baseball team, which has just arrived in Brest, hungered for a little Sunday excitement. The 805th offered to assist and at 12 noon the game was scheduled. It began at 2 p.m., before 5,000 fans—rather a good crowd for two hours' notice. The party was pulled off on the little pill-box grounds at the Motor Transport Park. The 805th won, 7 to 0. Captain G. H. Bragan, manager of the 805th team, sent "Al Jolson" Foote into the box with Wyatte to catch, and the 803rd started with Taylor and Lewis. Taylor did his best, but after King and Ray had both lifted lon; hits over the right field wall for two bases each. in the sixth, he resigned in favor of Abernathy. Foote fanned twelve batters and helped along with three hits. He allowed but four. The 805th team has never been beaten. Its record since coming to Brest May 5 is enviable. It has defeated the 801st, 808th and 803rd Pioneer Regimental teams, and the 348th Labor Battalion, and won a few scrub games besides. It is already the assured champion of the Colored League, having only to play the Troop/Kitchen No. 16, Tuesday. Bring on your champions. Kansas City, New York and Pontanezan, A. E.

"Fighting News." The 805th is also getting a reputation for having a good table. Several of the fighters are reporting daily to the Athletic Officer, and are knocking the spots off all their opponents. Sunday night at the Navy Hut, Private Lawrence Miller, featherweight, from Company E, knocked out LeBox, a French fighter, in two rounds. It is probable that Miller is the best colored lightweight in the A. E. F. Here are some of his recent stunts, including his battles at Neufchateau; a. Won from Flamin, reputed to be the best French featherweight. (Flamin had previously defeated Steve Fevers, a notable French fighter.) b. Draw with Dainey, 501st Engineers. c. Won from Julliard, French featherweight. e. Draw with Mass, Inermediate Section. f. Won from Williams, 310th Labor'Battalion. (K. O. in first round.) g. Won from Burns, 3hr Cavalry. PAGE THREE COLORED COUNCIL MAN IN OHIO WILL NOW-RUN AGAIN Byl Associated Negro Press. CLEVELAND, O., June 9.—Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, the only member of the race in the city council of Cleveland, has announced his intention of becoming a candidate again for office. The majority of the voters in the Eleventh Ward are colored, while, like the famous Second Ward of Chicago, some of the city's wealthiest citizens live in the ward on Euclid avenue. Councilman Flemming has recently been instrumental in having the city appropriate $100,000 for a bath and recreation house in the center of the ward. Cleveland is regarded as one of the most democratic cities in America, more than 50 colored teachers being employed in the public schools, the majority teaching only white pupils. There are about 30,000 colored people in Cleveland, thousands having come from the South Hundreds of the citizens own beautiful homes and there are scores of successful business men. Cleveland has a total population of over 800,000, being the sixth city of the nation. Meet me at The Milo. VESPERS Mrs. J. H.

Won from LeBox, French lightweight, two rounds. The following is a quotation from a Neufchateau paper on Miller's recent fight with Smith: "The whole bout was a lightning stroke between Miller, 805th Pioneer Infantry, and Smith, 359th Labor Battalion, both Colored. It was without doubt the fastest bout ever scheduled at the Park "Y." Both boys used good headwork and footwork and threw their mitts in excellent form. Each stood a lot of punishment, but both were in good shape and did not seem to mind it. * * * " MRS.

Third Street KANSAS CITY, KANSAS 00000000 THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Description of Biographer, Written by Himself, Reveals Him as Very Human. How pleasant it is to know that Boswell, who we have always thought was merely a kind of animated notebook, was a droll, vain, blubulous, warm-hearted creature, a good deal of a Pepys, in fact, says Collier's Weekly. A Edward Newton's entertaining "Amenities of Book Collecting," a volume of essays which shows that a business man can write better literature than a hundred professors mulled into one, makes Boswell very human! How jolly to hear that Boswell wrote press notices about himself! Here is one of his own blurbs, which we quote from Mr. Newton's book: "Boswell, the author, is a most excellent man; he is of an ancient family in the west of Scotland, upon which he values himself not a little. At his nativity there appeared omens of his future greatness. His parts are bright, and his education has been good. He has traveled in post chalces miles without number. He is fond of seeing much of the world. He eats of every good dish, especially apple pie. He drinks old hock. He has a very fine temper. He is somewhat of a humorist and a little tinctured with prince. He has good, manly countenance, and he owls himself to be amorous. He has infinite vivacity, yet is observed at times to have a melancholy cast. He is rather fat than lean, rather short than tall, rather young than old. His shoes are neatly made, and he never wears spectacles." This brings the excellent Boswell very very close to us indeed; he might almost be a member of the Authors' league. Especially apple pie, bless his heart. WORRY "CONDIMENT OF LIFE" A Little of It Excellent, but It Must Not Be Enduring or Excessive. Unless a man has a little worry apathy, indifference and the mechanical physical disinclination to do your utmost without stint will be lacking. Without this condiment of life, this salt of the human cosmos, "we see to what absurd yet tragic physical lengths he is driven by the whip of that still vigorous tyrant, his self-instinct to fight." This thrilling force, which one time had been used squarely and successfully against the real world enemy, is now absorbed in trivial and self-debasing skirmishes with the grotesque bolshevki of his imagination. In other words, if a man has a variety of anxious explosive outlets via his muscles and intellect, such as driving, tennis, swimming, dancing, competition, golf and the like, these act as safety valves for the multitude of impulses and reactions which hābit and custom have compressed out of his external activities. Worry is one of these, if not enduring or excessive. For the average man set in society, in work and in his family circle it takes the place of larger and better outlets for his destroyed initiative. Chinese Woman Encoffined Alive. An unusual case of filial ingratitude is reported from Huchow, China, in the Tokyo (Japan) Advertiser. A very aged woman lived with her son's family, who were so poor that they did not have necessary food. To reduce expenses, the son, forgetting his country's traditions regarding filial plety, concealed of disposing of his aged mother. He secured a coffin, placed his mother therein, without protest on her part, nalled on the cover and deposited the coffin in a vacant lot. Neighbors informed the police, and the coffin was taken to the station house, where it was opened. The woman was still breathing, and when removed asked: "Why did you disturb me? I am a burden to my son and do not want to live. Please put me back in the box and let me die." The request was refused, and officials are detaining both mother and son in the yamen awaiting a judicial disposition of the case. Algerian Grain Production. Methods of grain production used in Algeria are very similar to those used in Utah, Idaho and eastern Washington. Owing to the light rainfall much of the land is cropped only alternate years, a clean fallow being maintained during the summer preceding the sowing of the crop. In more favorable situations it is often customary to produce two or three grain crops in successive years, allowing the land to lie fallow one year in four or one year in five. Speaking generally, the soils of the grain-growing regions are rather heavy and are very productive when the rainfall is adequate. Some of the lands are underlain by calcareous hardpan, which it is sometimes necessary to break up by an occasional deep plowing in order to secure maximum production. Making Arrangements. A stray but friendly cat wandered to the front door of a home where lived Charles, an only child. The little fellow was pleased with his new visitor, and was endeavoring to welcome him by bringing him into the house, when the mother appeared on the scene. She told the child that the cat was not allowed in the house. Immediately after the cautioning and while the cat was on the front porch Charles went to the door and said: "Say, kitty, you come around to the back door and I'll meet you there." TOOK NO CHANCE ON "HANTS" That Batch of Troopers Didn't Intend to Be Caught With the "Goods" on Them. There was a colored labor outfit in the S. O. S. engaged in quarry work near a base port. A few weeks ago, in the course of opening up some new ground, they discovered an old Roman burying ground with many skeletons, coins and relics. The find made quite an impression on the minds of the finders, and there were many speculations as to whether the shades of the departed legionaries still hovered around in the vicinity of their last resting place. The general opinion was that a man ought to be on his guard when out late at night. About that time the sum of 60 francs disappeared from the counter of a nearby Y. M. C. A. hut. The captain of this outfit doesn't know a great deal about classroom psychology, but he has learned a lot about it in the field. He called his outfit together one night in the Y hut and told them of the disappearance of the money. Then he outlined the history and characteristics of the old Remans. "Boys," he said, "there was one thing a Roman hated worse than anything else, and that was a thief. If the ghosts of those old fellows who were buried up there on the hill should learn that somebody in this outfit had 60 francs in his pocket, I don't know just what would happen. I'm going to put my hat here on the table and turn out the lights. The guilty man will know what to do." There was quite a shuffling of feet and milling around in the hut, and then all was quiet. When the captain turned on the lights again and looked in the hat he found not only the 60 francs, but 300 more, and a few odd centimes for good measure.—Stars and Stripes. HELPED BY WESTERN IDEALS American Missionaries Must Be Given Much Credit for the Uplifting of John Chinaman. He is now to be found in every country of the globe. As an immigrant he comes ignorant of language and subject to oppressive laws, but he makes his own way. Drop him down on any spot on the earth's surface and he will make a living for himself and ask odds of no one. The Chinese beggar in a foreign land is unknown. He is miserly and lives cheaply only when circumstances compel. When prosperity smiles there is no more generous people. As a trader and a merchant he has no equal. In the Philippines there are only 50,000 Chinese, less than 1 per cent of the total population. But this handful of Chinese controls 90 per cent of the retail trade of the islands. In trade, in scholarship, in bodily strength and endurance, in industry John Chinaman individually is able to hold his own against all comers. He can live and prosper in adverse conditions where all other races fail. Yet his country is weak and helpless against the aggressions of smaller countries and its future is a subject of apprehension and doubt. Official corruption, superstition, provincial spirit in stead of national patriotism, blind the country to old forms, and make its progress slow and uncertain. Western ideals and learning, carried to China largely by the American missionary, are helping now to show more clearly the ways to advancement and are loosening some of the old bonds—World's Work. Passing of Emma. Emma is dead. She died, not perhaps altogether that others might live, but she surely died to make an American holiday. Most of her life she had been petted and dined, for it was designed that she put on weight, much as the female of the species objects to embonpoint. Emma was, in her tender youth, removed from base hospital 15 to base 32. And that is just where interest for all the folks at home who have boys at base 32 starts, for surely no member of the hospital so far forgot his surroundings as not to mention Emma in his letters. So Emma grew and grew. Recently the end came. It was announced in a letter home thus laconically and graphically: "We ate Emma yesterday." She was served to the hospital attaches, and while it may be disloyal to say so, the diners say she tasted better than American pork. But weep not, you outsiders who read this, for Emma was only a wild hog.—Stars and Stripes. Inconsiderate Infantry. One artillery unit worked hard during the afternoon of the second day of the attack to get its pieces into position. It had moved up for the second time, and had not fired a shot. It was four o'clock when the lieutenant in command gave orders for every one to stand by. The gunners were to fire their first volley into the German lines. Every one stood waiting for the final word when the telephone rang and word came that the infantry had advanced so far that it would be necessary to move up again before going into action. "Oh!" said a gunner; "those infantry guys ain't got no respect for us at all!"—Stars and Stripes. "I'm a conscientious objector," he claimed the Prussian general who was about to go out of office.
