Peace Was Declared Tuesday to a Quivering Nation By Its Own Citizens Congressman Little Re-Elected by 17,000 Majority KANSAS French Women Praises Negro Soldiers By Mme, Jean Moulin. Paris, France, Oct. 21.—Three historically ladened years have been quickly ushered into an unreturnable past since there arrived in France the vanguard of America's superb black troops, who fought so valiantly with France's "Red Hand" Division. Two years have been retired into the retrospect since what was left of America's 200,000 intrepid swarthy complexioned warriors embarked to return to their native land. We were told even by their brothers of white skin natives of the same "land of liberty," before these black soldiers came among us that they would "rape" our women. It was with some alarm that we viewed their landing at Bordeaux St. Nazair, Brest, and other French ports of disembarkation. It was with the feeling born of uncontrollable fear that we saw them march to camps in our midst—and because the white brothers had told us, before their coming, that they would "rape" our women—ever our girls of tender years. But it was not long until our fears were disarmed—not long until we were made to know that those kind-hearted, strong limbed, valiant fighting American blacks had been grossly illbeled and reviled. They moved among us with circumspect; their courtesy and kindness was a God-given attribute; their valor and endurance matched that of our best French troop s. They hummed their plantation melodies in shell swept dug-outs when water and germ-infested mud reached to their ankles; they whistled and hummed, in their characteristic plantive way, "Down on the Swuance River" with no sign of fear while bursting, murderous, demonically shrieking shells played an incessant tattoo on their battle fronts. Napoleon's legions, and those who fought under the sainted Joan D'Ale never fought more valiantly and stubbornly than America's black troops fought here in France. Our women? They were as safe from harm at the hands of those bronz-complexioned warriors as is virtue behind the cloistered walls of the convent safe from evil at the hands of saintly prelates. After meeting America's heroic black troopers, after having nad them among us, after being convinced of how much they contributed to pushing back from French soil the brutal fiendish Huns; after viewing the graves in Flander's field where the poppies abundantly grow red again graves that are sepulcnies for fallen black heroes, we Frenchmen cannot understand why in their own native land the government permits the lynchers, the red handed, race-hating mob rules to stalk unrestricted among these patient, loyal, splendidly heroic blacks; why the American colonists' "no taxation without representation" should not apply to America's millions of loyal blacks. In France neither art, heroism or loyalty knows a color line. The saviours of land of the fleur de lis are heroes, whether their skin is as fair as the lilies of France or as black as the coal mined in Aslase-Loraine. In France color prejudice, whatever may be the faults of our country, is considered a crime against Him who "created man in his own image." In France, we learned long before England's great poet, Robert Burns, wrote it, that "a man's a man, white or black, for all of that." France will ever preserve in memory, garlanded with gratitude, the day America's black soldiers came among us. And France, too, will recall with sadness—deep regret, the day America's splendid, heroic black legions bade adieu to France and embarked to return to their native land where color prejudice burns a line of blackness where else is all that is fair. This same Omnipotent One who said "let there be light" breathed life into black and white alike. He, too, promised a paradise to those who keep the faith, without designating race or color. He permits the forms of whites to decay beneath six feet of earth exactly as he permits the lifeless forms of blacks to decay. The end of all mankind is the sane, black or white. The hell for the TWELVE MONTHS. $1.50. wicked has no separate compartment for whites and blacks, and Heaven's rewards are for all who do the right. In France, as long as "The Marseillais" is sung; as long as our tricolor flag unfurls itself to the breeze liberty and justice will not distinguish between white and black. For the American black soldiers helped save France from the despoiling, fiendish Hun, France says: "Here's rosemary—that's for remembrance." A BUSINESS MAN Mr. Vernon Ward, a member of the Homestead Development Company, located in Chicago, came into the city this week and will remain here this winter in the interest of the company. A fine equipped office at 1314 N. Fifth street has been open for some weeks with Rev. R. A. Adams in charge. Mr. Ward expects to stay here until his company becomes well established in the Middle West. Mr. Ward has been associated with this land firm for several years and his ability of business worth and honesty caused this big company (although white), to take him in the business and is rated as one of the keenest business men of the company. We welcome Mr. Ward among us. and feel that his business tact of the larger things will be profitable to us, and also to his company. CITIZENS' FORUM The crowd was quite large at the meeting October 31, due to the Publicity committee's bulletin on the board that Attorney T. W.

Citizens Dr. Dixon Closes a Successful Revival The revival meeting, after a two weeks campaign at First A. M. E. Church, closed Sunday night. Rev. L. H. Dixon, the noted preacher and evangelist of Florida who conducted the meeting, had wonderful success. His labors were crowned with sixty one souls, and the Church revived as it has not been for many years. Dr. Dixon delivered some of the strongest reasoning spiritual sermons that Kansas City has had the opportunity to hear. His sermons seemed to increase. in favor every night, and his last message Sunday night, it being the third one for the day, was as powerful in thought and voice as his first sermon. The church was full all day, and this great reaper of God brought in eighteen souls to the Church for his day's labor. In the fifteen services he conducted it was estimated fully, if not more, that many thousands attended these meetings, coming from most every denomination and class in the two cities and the surrounding towns and country. The people in all walks of life fell in love with this great Christian minister and the people were in tears Sunday night when they shook his hand good by. Dr. Dixon will always have a warm place in the hearts of the people in Kansas City, and especially the sixty-one who came to know God, under his wonderful gospel sermons. GOV. HENRY J. ALLEN.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. PARTY KNIFE THEIR FRIENDS In the Republican primary in August two colored men of good, reputable character and long standing in Wyandotte county, were nominated and legally placed on the Republican ticket. Samuel Walker for mashal of the North City Court and J. H. Lee for State Representative of the Ninth district, the latter winning by nearly one thousand votes. Both were defeated Tuesday, while the balance of the ticket went through with majorities as high as ten thousand votes, and the colored candidates losing by a thousand votes. What was the matter Party Knife their friends. This is one thing the colored voter cannot be charged with, as it was justly demonstrated Tuesday to those who had opened the door of opportunity. Precinct after precinct in white communities showed the Lilly White principle in scratching the two colored candidates and voting for others not on the regular ticket they helped nominate at the August primary. These colored candidates ran behind in some of these precincts as many as a hundred votes. Party Knife Their Friends. "We quote Lincoln's old saying: "You may fool some of the people all the time, some of the people part of the time, but not all the people all the time." Party Knife Their Friends. The Kansas City, Kansas, Sun, published by E. F. Heisler, said to be the oldest newspaper editor in Kansas, published a big edition last week, containing advertisements of nearly every wholesaler and manufacturer in the two cities. It was a creditable piece of newspaper work. Mr. Charles Williams who has been quite ill at his home on Tenth street, is much improved. Mrs. Lucinda Clark remains quite ill at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lulu M. Logan, 1135 New Jersey avenue. Mr. and Mrs. A. R.

LOVE FEAST TONIGHT Three services were held Sunday, when large crowds worshipped and church-goers greatly enjoyed three powerful sermons delivered by the evangelist, Dr. I. H. Dixon, known as "Florida's Greyhound Evangelist." At the close of the evening service eighteen strong men and women had accepted Christ as their leader. There was a wonderful outpouring of the Spirit of Christ all day. Dr. Dixon, through the power and guidance of the Master, accomplished a great work in his two weeks' here. Rev. J. F. Griffin, the noble pastor of this church, assisted the evangelist in song and highly charged spiritual and driving after-talks. The church has been placed on much higher ground on account of these series of meetings. All departments have taken on new life. Every member has a brighter view of things and a better understanding of what a Christian life is. The pastor will fill his pulpit Sunday, and if the day is fair, the two large auditoriums will hardly accommodate the people who are now attending the services. This Friday night Love Feast will take place and Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service the Lord's Supper will be administered and baptism. At the Sunday evening service full members will be read into the church. The choirs give most excellent service during the revival, which was enjoyed and appreciated by pastor, communicants. Send your children to Sabbath school, so they may learn the way of the living church and that they might not depart from its ways when coming into manhood and womanhood.

Adams will deliver a stereopticon-lecture Friday evening and will preach for us Sunday at 11 a.m. Come and hear this spiritual giant. Come early; this is the church with the heart hand-shake. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE to be the thirteenth day of the month I am doubly lucky. So I welcomed Mr. Rountree. "Have a seat, Mr. Rountree," I said cordially. "If the questions lead to nothing it will be all right, anyhow. I was lonesome before you came up. Idleness tires a seaman. What is it you want to know?" "I know your—er—misfortune with your last ship," the man said, as he lighted the cigar I handed him and was comfortably seated. "And, too, I'm pretty sure you're—excuse me—on the beach. You still have your ticket?" "Yes, sir—master mariner—any tonnage." "Have you ever sailed down the coast from here? I mean that part of the coast below Salina Cruz—the Guatemalan coast?" "I sailed for several years down that coast," I replied. "While first mate I sailed on a tramp that made the voyage from Honolulu to Salina Cruz. From there we usually sailed on south and picked up odd lots of coffee destined for points across the Isthmus of Panama." "And now, Captain Marchbanks, how much would about one million dollars gold, bulk, do you think?" The question and the matter of fact way in which it was put, stumped me somewhat. I replied as simply as I could: "I don't know." "Such an amount could be hidden in the hold and in other places around a steamer so that it would likely not be discoverer in the cursory examination the customs officials usually make of an unsuspicious vessel arriving at a port?" "I think so," I assured him "Would you be willing to come aboard a ship and navigate it, taking orders from me from time to time as to the course? The steamer will be well outfitted, and a crew of able seamen will be 'signed Everything will be furnished you." "We sail down the coast of Mexico and Central America." "Yes." "This is Friday. Let's see; we should 'be able to sail Monday morning. Is it a bargain?" The proposition was a strange one. I smoked and studied it over for a few minutes. Rountree smoked, too, and looked at the fire in the grate, saying nothing. The man wasn't insane, I was sure. As I looked at him, sitting there, he seemed to be more or a scholar; an intellectual man; than a crazy filibuster or treasure hunter. A month at sea would help me, at any rate, and I had already made up my mind when I asked him the question: "You will pardon me. Mr Rountree, but is this voyage above-board? There's no question of getting into trouble with the authorities, is there? For reply he handed me a card, although he started at the question. "You will see from this that I would be the last man on earth to lead anyone into the clutches of the law. I am secretive merely because I do not wish certain parties to know of our leaving time." THE CRUISE OF THE CLEO When Romance came my way it found me idling. I was not idling from choice, however. Ever since the night the "Altoonia" broke her back while bound down the coast from Seattle I had been out of a berth. The rock the "Altoonia" struck on was not charted and I shouldn't have been blamed, but the stove-in ribs of the vessel put me, in more ways than one "on the beach." Ship-owners do not care for skippers who have had bad luck. Of course I knew just what to expect, but I could hardly bring myself to accept anything lower than a master's berth. That was why I was idling away my time when the hunchback brought Romance right to the threshold of my boarding house. It was along after the heat of the summer had given way to gray autumn. I had been idle more than eight months, for the accident that sent the "Altoonia" to the bottom had occurred the winter before. I was sitting at my window, smoking and figuring up in my mind just how soon I'd be compelled by financial straits to ship as a mate or ordinary seaman, when I picked up the unusual figure of a hunchback in the crowded street below my window. He was directly across the street and appeared very much interested in something or someone near my room window. The first afternoon I watched him for a while and then concluded he was either seeking lodgings or flirting with some girl at one of the other windows of the house. I forgot all about him when the afternoon papers arrived. The following afternoon was foggy and murky, as even Frisco afternoons occasionally are, but the air in the room was close and to drive away the lodging house smells I opened a window for a while. There was the hunchback again. He was watching something across the street, and after a while I came to the conclusion that something was yours truly. So I closed the window, put on wet weather clothing and walked out. I made it a point to pass and repass the man several times. While he eyed me closely he did not accost me. Before he disappeared for the afternoon I saw him questioning the newsboy who stood across from my room after the first afternoon editions were out. It is obviously unnecessary to say that the boy knew my whole history, my habits and all that Those boys know everyone. That evening I was sitting in my room reading when a knock at the door disturbed me. I called "come in." The Japanese servant of the house had a habit of coming in occasionally of evenings to ask about my comfort. I was expecting him and did not look up until a voice at my elbow—a strange voice—said: "Captain`Marchbanks?" I laid my book aside and looked around. It was the hunchback. He was now dressed in evening clothes which fit him reasonably well, despite his deformity. He appeared to be a powerful man. Although the body was not handsome to look at, the face of the man was intelligent, the mouth humorous and the eyes twinkled kindly. I became his friend at once. "You want to speak to me, Mr. ———?" "You are Captain Marchbanks?" he asked again. "My name is William S. Rountree. You do not know me and the name is obscure, like its owner. I would like to ask you a few questions. It may be the means of securing you a berth." It was, Friday, the thirteenth of the month. I am, different from most people. Friday is my lucky day, and if it happens "I don't know." "When do we leave?" I glanced down at the card: William S. Rountree, D.D. Pastor First Church Dove Gulch, Utah. "You are a long way from home, Doctor Rountge," I said inanely. "I have a vacation," he replied. "And you—?" "Will be ready at any time you wish. I might come aboard tonight, if necessary." "I will telephone you tomorrow." he said. He drew a roll of bills' from his pocket. "I will now pay you what attorneys call a retaining fee," he said, slipping off several bills from the roll and placing them on the table. "It is understood that you are to navigate the steamer according to my orders, weather, of course, permitting. By the way, have you any aversion to feminine society? I mean, aboard ship?" "None whatever," I replied. "That is well," he said. He picked up his hat, adjusted his great coat, which he had not removed during his stay, and started from the room. As his hand was on the knob of the door, he hesitated, looked the room over, located the window, walked to it, pulled the curtain aside, produced a small electric flashlight from his pocket and, pressing the button, three four quick flashes of light from the window. I was not prepared for what happened next. He dropped suddenly to the floor. I heard the sharp report of a firearm, a pane of glass in the window shattered and a thud in the plaster across the room indicated where the bullet had imbedded itself. Then the Reverend William S. Rounree placed the curtain as it was, put the flashlight in his pocket, walked across the room, and, without a word to me, opened the door and vanished into the dimly lighted hallway. I recovered from my surprise and went to the window just in time to see a large touring car drive up to the curb. The hunchback leaped in and the car went on. Just as the car door closed on my late visitor I caught the glimpse of a womans face pressed to the side window. As I watched the car disappear around the nearest corner, I saw a man run out after it, grasp some portion of the rear of the tonneau and scramble to a seat on a projection. I replaced the curtain of th. window and went back to my book. "I'm not certain what I'm in for, but I've got your money," I thought, "and, Brother Rountree—you've got a passenger on your car you didn't intend to have." II. I had just finished dressing next morning, when I was called to the telephone. The voice at the other end of the wire was that of Doctor Rountree. "Would you mind coming abroad today, Captain Marchbanks?" he said without preliminaries. "I can pack within an hour or so," I replied. "I have little else to do. How about eleven o'clock?" "That will do." Just as I was about to place the receiver in place, I happened to think that I knew nothing of the vessel, its name, location, and whether it was a steam or sailing craft. So I asked: "Where shall I come to? What is the name of the vessel? "You will board a street car near your boarding place and go to Market street. Get off at the first corner after the car reaches that street. There an automobile will drive past. The side door will be ajar. You will manage to get into the motor car without stopping it and without attracting any attention, if possible. The car will bring you to the vessel. Should anyone stop you, trust to the chauffeur. You will be taken care of. In this way I think you will reach the vessel without being molested. Do not make yourself conspicuous in any way. But whatever happens trust to the chauffeur. Do you understand?" "Perfectly; but what is the name—'?" "Leave the boarding house at ten-thirty, sharp," the doctor's voice interrupted. "I will." "If you have any baggage other than that you can carry—hand baggage, I mean—leave it. It will be in the way and perhaps delay us needlessly." "Good luck." "Same to you." As I hung he receiver on the hook I turned to find the Japanese servant at my elbow. He appeared to have been waiting until I finished the telephone conversation. "While cleaning your room I discovered this upon the floor," he said, extending to me an envelope crammed with papers. evidently, from the name on the envelope, they do not belong to you. I have brought them so that you may, if you wish, return them to the rightful owner." The servant's tone was sarcastic and, I thought, menacing. I was not surprised at his excellent command of English for I had known many of his countrymen who were well educated although holding 'menial positions. The servant was, I saw, new to the house. He was not the one I had known to be in the position for the several months past. I looked at the packet. It was a large manila envelope, well Continued on Page 3 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1920 EXECUTOR'S NOTICE EXECUTORS NOTICE State of Kansas, Wyandotte oCounty, ss. In the Probate Court of said County.

ALL DRUGGISTS SELL IT THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE London, England.—The overworked English wage earner will soon be a rarity, is the opinion of the chief inspector of factories and work shops, who says that the shorter workday is rapidly replacing the old system of long, monotonous toil. It is stated that shortened working hours has had a beneficial effect on wage earners, more so than any other recent improvement in industrial conditions. Better timekeeping, less fatigue and overstrain, and no increase in accidents, despite the fact that more men are employed in engineering (metal) trades, are other marked re-results. With regard to sickness, the report cites a large factory where, some years ago, the average number of absentees were 40 daily. Since the adoption of the 44-hour week the average has dropped to 10 daily. A point of interest to employers who have incessantly deplored the shortening of hours and insisted that a proportionate decrease in production would inevitably follow, is that, according to the report, where output was largely or entirely dependent on the worker there was frequently no loss in production; indeed in one wholesale tailoring establishment an increase of 40% was reported. In another instance, a boot factory where the hours of work were reduced from 52 to 48 per week, there was a considerable increase in output. !'EDUCATING" THE PEOPLE The New York Telephone company wants increased rates. Unlike the Kansas City Telephone company it has no votesoliciting Allen peonage court to appeal to and trade votes for an increase. At a hearing before the public service commission recently city attorneys showed that the company set aside $450,000 this year for advertising "to influence the public and the commission on its application for increased rates." It is also shown that this poverty-stricken concern has a surplus of $45,000,000 and a depreciation reserve of $69,000,-000. THAT PRINTER'S DEVIL Sioux City, Ia.—The hisoric printer's devil again rain true to form in this city when he inserted several union shop articles in a paper operated for the benefit of a citizen's alliance. The Union Advocate is printed in the same shop as a local business publication. The labor paper has referred to the walking delegate of the union busters in terms more emphatic than polite, and when the printer's devil was "making up" this sheet he chucked in several Union Advocate squibs as fillers. When the paper was distributed among the low wage advocates it was a case of quick curtain and slow music with the printer's devil, as usual, blamed for the muss. -STOPPED HER FITS- Mrs. Dellia Martin, a resident of Wurtsboro, N.Y., writes that she stopped her fits with a medicine that she read about in the paper. She says she has not had a fit since she took the first dose and that she wants every sufferer to know about this wonderful medicine and what it did for her. If you, a friend, or relative, suffer from these dreadful attacks, you are advised to send name and address at once to R. P. N. Lepso, 194 Island Ave, Milwaukee, Wis., who is generously offering to send a bottle of the same kind of medicine he gave Mrs. Martin, free, to any sufferer who writes him. - Adv.

A profiteer decided to build a mansion for himself. Having purchased an attractive site, he started the builders on his new home. While superintending operations one day a neighbor said to him: A "I see you are spending a lot of money on that house of yours." "Yes," was the reply, "I want to make it a thoroughly fit place for a gentleman to live in." "Oh, then you mean to rent it, do you?" said the inquirer, in a sarcastic way. HIS BLUFF FINALLY CALLED Union Pilot's Shrewd Scheme Brought to End by What Might Be Called Hard Luck. During the Civil war there was a mysterious boat that used to travel the Mississippi river. Her name was the Red Cloud. Her Ohio owners had turned her over to the Northern army. She was used to get supplies from the southern ports. She flew the Union flag while in upper waters, and when she reached the dividing line she holsted the Confederate flag. When challenged, her pilot, Hamp Thornton, would shout back the name of some boat he knew had been given permission by the Confederates to run that particular night. Always all lights were out. It was said the pilot knew the river so well he could steer to New Orleans blindfolded. One night, however, near Vicksburg, a ship lying in harbor raced out to challenge the Red Cloud. Her captain called out the name of the very steamer challenging him. Information was sent to the Confederate officers at Vicksburg, and when the Red Cloud passed the batteries she was fired upon and set afire. All of the crew were captured except Thornton, who dived off and swam ashore, later getting back to Union lines and fighting as a soldier. For the Bald-Headed Man. The planting of hair on bald heads is the latest victory of French medical science. There is therefore no reason any more for wig makers, according to Raymond de Passot, who has just revealed the success of his scalp-grafting experiments to the Paris faculty of medicine. M. de Passot notices that baldness never affects seriously the temporal or occipital regions. By cutting rectangular strips of hairy skin from these portions of the scalp, and grafting them on the under areas, he quickly has a series of fertile patches which can be brushed in such a way that the rest of the bald spot is covered. By using longer and narrower strips from the front backwards a bald man may even be able to have a permanent center parting. Rival to the Koh-I-noor The Tiger's Eye, a diamond which is on exhibition in London, is, says the New York Sun, causing no little excitement among dealers in gems and connoisseurs. London papers refer to it as the largest diamond in England, except the Koh-Lunor. It weighs 61½ carats, is worth $150,000, and is of golden amber hue. Experts declare it to be a perfect specimen. It was found by Capt. Thomas Leach, a British army officer, in South Africa. It is so large that the owner has found it to be unsalable. He derives revenue from it by placing it on exhibition. Speeding the Parting Guest. Speaking the following: My sister and I went to spend the day with friends, arriving at 8 a. m. and leaving at 10 p. m. Our hostess was busy cooking and washing dishes all day long, and when we were leaving for our train her daughter wanted to go to the train with us, but her mother told her she had to stay at home with her little sister and a cousin. She cried and said: "Please, mother, let me go. I am just as glad to see them go as you are."—Chicago Tribune. The Purpose of a Vacation. "Have a good time on your vacation?" "No." "You didn't?

DORSEY GREEN, Attorney for Plaintiffs. (First publication Oct. 22, 1920) FRIDAY, NOVEMBER·5, 1920 A large congregation attended this church, and the pastor preached an inspiring sermon, and at its close sang, "Lead Me On," which caused many to let the Holy Spirit have a "right of way." The beautiful sensible hymns, "Almost Persuaded," and "The Comforter Has Come," led by the choir caused several to unite with the church. Some of the leaders of the church have announced a special song service every Wednesday night to which the whole community is invited. Thursday night's activities are announced for all young people only. It should be for any who wish physical culture, as some older people are more active than some young people. At 8 p. m., a minister from the C. M. E. Conference preached well and aside from the church collection, a collection was taken for him. Next Sunday, October 31st, other fine sermons will be preached to which all are invited. This church has had a 10 days' revival, which broughtt in more souls for the length of time than any church in town. Come to this church, especially those who have no church home.
