Forty-Eight Physicians, Eighteen Dentists Ministers, One Hundred Twenty- Eighty-Eight Government Artists Are Among th Col. C. C. Ballou An The Editor accepted the invitation last week from Dr. Edward B. Ramsey, one of our most prominent and successful physicians, to motor with him to Des Moines to visit the training camp for Negro officers, and on last Saturday morning at 4:30 a.m., in the dawn of the early morning we left Kansas City. Those in the car were Dr. Ramsey, Attorney W. B. Bruce, and the editor, with the reliable and jolly David Jackson, one of the best chauffeurs as well as the greatest basso profundo of the race, at the wheel. We crossed the Burlington bridge over into Clay County and like a bird we flew ten miles from the end of the bridge to Liberty, where we stopped for a few minutes to repair a puncture. Then on to Excelsior Springs, where we chatted a moment with our old friend, Hugh White, proprietor of the famous Albany Hotel, and Dr. Henry Harris of the famous Harris baths; then on to Chillicothe, where we had breakfast at 11 o'clock. We spent a couple of hours in Chillicothe visiting relatives and friends, and after taking on a fresh supply of oil and gas we hied away to Trenotn, where we spent twenty minutes getting a puncture repaired, during which the Editor visited his honored friend, the Hon. Gully Knight, one of the ablest lawyers and one of the greatest Republicans in Missouri. We met the city marshal and asked him where Judge Knight's office was, and he very accommodatingly consented to walk over and show us the place and to have a little fun we told him to tell Judge Knight that he had us under arrest for speeding and to know whether he'd go a Colored man's bond. Judge Knight replied: "Well it's according to the man is" and when the Marshall told him, that he says his name is Nelson Crews of Kansas City, the Judge with a whoop said "I'll go his bond for $10,000 and take his case for nothing" and we had a great laugh all around. After the too short visit with this splendid citizen, who to know is to admire, we boarded our car again and Becke much ings. The Kansas City Sun at 3:15 hied away for Des Moines, which we reached without accident, two hundred and fifty-six miles from Kansas City, at 10:40 p. m. We drove to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Warriicks, at 1006 West 13th street, where we were comfortably located, and after removing the stains of travel, retired to our couch, where we slept "without rocking" till late the next morning. On Sunday morning, learning the distinguished Bishop J. Albert Johnson was to preach at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, we attended services there, and were highly repaid both by the magnificent sermon of the distinguished prelate and by the excellent singing of one of the best choirs of the Northwest. St. Paul, under the leadership of the indomitable Dr. S. L. Birt, has outgrown its present edifice, and is preparing to build an elegant new, commodious building at 13th and Crocker. After dinner, and meeting a number of old acquaintances and prominent citizens of Des Moines, we drove out to the fort, where we got or first view of the splendid history in the making of the training camp. To say the we were deeply impressed is but a mild expression of what we felt. And it is indeed 'inspiring to not how these men, coming from all parts of the United States and from almost every walk of life, are being hammered under the tutelege of regular army officers into officers to command the Negro regiments to be organized in this great world's war. For the first time the Negro is being given a chance to prove his capacity for military leadership, and he is making the most of it. At 2:30 in the afternoon we visited the Camp Y. M. C. A., and in the absence of our own splendid and beloved citizen, R. B. DeFrantz, executive secretary, who was attending the funeral of his brother, Dr. DeFrantz, in Denver, Colo., the afternoon's program was being conducted by his aggressive and popular assistant, Prof. W. H. J. Beckett, physical director, who puts much life and ginger into his meetings. After a splendid song service, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1917. Bishop J. Albert Johnson was introduced as the speaker of the hour and delivered a highly appreciative lecture, after which Editor Crews was introduced for a few remarks, at the beginning of which he paid high tribute to Secretary DeFrantz and the work he was doing and as a tribute to his worth and an expression of sympathy in his hour of sorrow asked the immense audience to rise and stand with bowed heads for a moment, which was done. He also paid a deserved tribute to the work of Mr. Beckett and Dr. George W. Cabannis of Washington, D. C., who is also assisting Mr. DeFrantz in the "Y" department. The following article from the famous Des Moines Register, given out by Mr. DeFrantz, will give an idea of the personnel of the camp and its determination: "Every man feels that he must make good; not for himself alone, but for his country and his race." Who Started Move. The idea of a Negro training camp was first advanced by a white man, Joel E. Spingarn, president of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored Race. It was taken up and pushed by several Negro organizations, including a committee of 100, headed by Rev. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, D. C. Dr. George W. Cabaniss, also of Washington, who was chairman of the publicity committee, is at the training camp doing volunteer service with the army Y. M. C. A. Because of his age, he is not taking training, but it is possible that he will take the examination to qualify him for medical work at some cantonment. Deserves Credit. Doctor Cabaniss was one of the committee of five who, through the agency of Secretary Tumulty, succeeded in getting the matter before the President at a critical juncture, and deserves no small credit for the establishment of the Negro training camp at Fort Des Moines. Other men at the camp who helped to overcome the strong opposition of NEGRO A COLONEL IN REGULARS Charles Young First of His Race to Reach That Rank. Washington, July 23.—Lieut. Col. Charles Young, Tenth United States Cavalry, who has been nominated for the War Department are Professor Thomas A. Gregory, chairman of the national committee of Negro college men, and E. Benjamin Curley, secretary of the same organization. It was up to the advocates of the camp to prove that they could get a Police Search for Two Negro Women in Connection With the Case. A white man, who gave his address as a down town hotel, reported to the police Tuesday night that he had been robbed by Negro women of $3,200 in a house at 507 East Sixth street. He said he was robbed by one of two Negro girls. The police are searching for two Negro women in connection with the case. P. H. BISHOP J. ALBERT JOHNSON D. D. for 8 years presiding over conferences in South Africa, now over the 2nd Episcopal District embracing Baltimore and Washington, D. C., will preach at Allen Chapel Sunday evening, July 29, at 7:45. Bishop Johnson is one of the most scholarly and eloquent men of the race and brings a message every Negro in Greater Kansas City should hear. M. promotion to colonel from June 22, 1917, vice Col. H. T. Allen, appointed brigadier general, is the first Negro officer to gain the rank of colonel in the line of the United States Army. He was born in Kentucky, March 12, 1864, and is a graduate of the U. S. M. A., class of 1889. sufficient number of Negroes of the right caliber to justify its establishment, and they succeeded. That they have not failed in their promises is shown by the fact that there are at least 500 college and university men at the camp in addition to successful PRAYER TO THE FLAG. By Roscoe C. Jamison. Flag of the Brave, that moves afar, To curb the wrath of tyrant kings; To drag Oppression to the bar Of Judgment, list to him that sings! Thou art my Flag. I love thee still, In spite of them who rend, and smear Thee with base crimes; who seek to kill My People's hopes with baleful sneer. I love thee still, and now I lift My eyes to thee on high, above. To pray thee for the promised gift Of Freedom for the Race I love. E'er thy stars mount dim Europe's skies, To cheer brave hearts to Victory, I pray thee hear my People's cries. Here in the Home-land, set men free. Thy great fleets cruise in foreign seas. Thy armies gather for the fray. To strike Injustice to its knees. The World doth praise thy might today. And wilt thou boast thy Honor still, To those who fear thy venging rod, When Disfranchisement halts the will Of millions here on Freedom's sod! Put down the terror of the Mob. Sit Justice on the throne to reign. Where thy dark children brood, and sob, Speak peace unto their souls again. Open full-wide the Golden Gate Of Equal Chance, that all may strive— Ol' Glory, 'neath thy folds we wait, All broken, bruised, but yet alive. Far Lands have called thee. They have no Of thy strong aid, yet, are least, Who in thy household now doth plead, And must we starve while aliens feast? Far Lands have called thee. They have need Of thy strong aid, yet, are least, Who in thy household now doth plead, And must we starve while aliens feast? Great is our faith. Our hearts are thine. Blackmen will follow where you tell. Upon whatever battle-line, Thou know'st, with them, that all is well. Flag of the Brave! Our foes are thine, Against them let thy wrath be hurled, And then go forth with might divine, To 'stablish Peace for all the World! business men who have not had college training. Send 200 Students. Howard University of Washington. D. C., has sent 200 students and 100 members of its alumni to the camp, and university men from almost every state north of the Mason and Dixon line are to be found. Harvard is represented by 15 or 20 graduates. A dozen university instructors are CORNERSTONE LAYING. The cornerstone of the new Jamison Temple C. M. E. Church, 1815 Paseo, will be laid Sunday, August 5, at 2:00 p. m. under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. The Rev. J. R. McClain, pastor, is making big preparations for this event and expects a monster attendance. Masons passing through the city enroute to the Grand Lodge have been invited to participate and all the lodges of the city and the lodges of Liberty, Parkville, Weston, Platte City, Quindaro and Kansas City, Kansas, are expected to attend in a body. The three Knights Templar Commanderies will act as escorts, with much by the Knight Templar band and addresses by Grand Master Fields, who will lay the stone; Past Grand Master N. C. Crews, Past Grand Master R. T. Coles, Rt. Eminent Commander Mosely, D. G. M. Lacey, and others who will assist. A great time is predicted. d thee.

There was the sound of rivalry as well as revelry last Monday night, when Drake and Walker's six-piece band of Jazz experts were playing down in the old 1500 block on 18th street. Drake has some soft toned, cunning and sensational artists who run symphony orchestras a close second in harmony and easily out Jazz all Jazzers in stirring and catchy syncopations. They had just finished a dissecting treatment of the "Blues," intermingling such popular stuff as "Yaaka Hula, Hicky Dula" and "My Mother's Rosary," played first in pianissimo and then in its loud opposite, such as seemingly only black musicians can do, when who should come thundering up the avenue but a delegation from Billy Kling's! The Jazz aggregation, however, discovered the attack in due time and entrenched themselves in readiness so that when the enemy were in their midst they vociferously let go a volley of shot that fairly rained on the invaders. There was a terrible interchange of vehement artillery fire for about two minutes between the opposing forces. Trombone and cornet vying while the big bass drums spoke above the din of battle in thrilling sounds. But the enemy marched on up the street without doing any particular damage to the valiant six, who stood their ground with that interpidity much like the "Noble Six Hundred" of old. Mr. T. H. Cobron of Pleasant Hill Mo., is visiting his niece, Mrs. W. E. Hart, 1043 Grandview B'vd. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PRICE, 5c. We pay 10 million dollars each year to the support of our spiritual welfare but not 1 dollar for our earthly development, yet we are taught that we must live good before we can die safely. There Will Be An Announcement Of a Big Meeting To Take Place Soon, Watch For It In The Sun. By Rucker Smith. The negroes of the United States own, approximately, 60 million dollars worth of church property, all aquired since freedom. 10 million dollars are paid out annually for the up-keep of property and salaries. Mose of this enormous sum is paid by workers of the race. Many of our church men live in great luxury while looking after our spiritual welfare; they do not pretend to know any thing about our working conditions, how could they when they do not come in contact with it, nothing short of a real panic or drouth could effect them. I have mentioned these facts above merely eo prove our racial ability to organize and operate big things in a masterly way. There are several Negro institutions, that could be mentioned, that are thriving because of a thorough organization back of them. Worker, I appeal to your sense of duty, to your sense of justice, to your sense of loyalty to your self and family, you cannot help your self without helping your neighbor; we sometimes try to raise above our race, but we cannot, we are driven back to our selves by all of the races of the world. Every Negro I meet, no matter how illiterate or how well they are educated, has about the same views towards doing things from a racial standpoint, "we can't do any thing" is invariably his reply, they have no confidence in any organization except those they already have; they do not seem to realize that a body of working people organized for the purpose of bettering their conditions, governed by charter granted by the state, is just as binding, just as much in authority as one granted to a Church, Lodge or corporation. Some are crying for efficient leaders, fellow women, the of day leadership has passed, we don't want leaders, if they can lead you right they can, also, lead you wrong; we want spokesmen chosen from our ranks, then we cannot be misrepresented; through organization we shall know what we want and how to get it. My part or interest in forming an industrial Union is for no better reason than to help myself, I am a working man and know what we have to face, therefore I am working for myself when I by joining with others of my race, try to better conditions. In my next article to the Sun I shall name the place and date of our big working class meeting, lay down your petty prejudices and come and help in this, the greatest of all causes, to better your own condition, your posterity will bless you. ——————E—— rr From © F oreig Correspo ~ "9 — me WEIR, KANSAS, Dan Charles r&port the birth of aling party the Sist.

At last the longlooked-for oppor tunity has come to you, the oppor tunity to make the money you have worked for work for you. Many men and women work for a salary. Most of these put away a few dollars every month and in due ‘time ‘they save enough money to keep them dry during that much: dreaded “rainy day.” Some men and women invest their savings in what are known as “giltedge securities.” In this way they make their savings earn for them four to six per cent a year. A few men and women, men and women with judgment, courage and foresight, put their savings in reasonably safe investments. The savings of these men and women earn for them a great deal of money and frequently they wake up to find themselves rich. It is from the latter class that come the most of our mil lonaires. ‘The reason we have so few million: aires is that we have so few men and women who have the courage to back their judgment with their money. ‘The opportunity to make your money work for you is being offered you by the Birth of a Race Photoplay Cor poration. Organized for the produc: tion of a million-dollar picture to be produced in association with the Selig Polyscope Co. TheSelig Polyscope Co., as you know, is one of the oldest and largest film corporations in the world, The “Million-Dollar Mystery,” “The Crisis,” “The Spoilers,” “The Garden of Allah,” all speak for the Selig Polyscope Co. This great twelve-reel photoplay, a whole even- ing’s entertainment, is being produced in the spirit of facts, not fiction, sweetness not bitterness. It will por. tray the days that were, the days that are, and the days that are yet to be. “The Birth of a Race” has for its theme race prejudice. The curse of elvilization—the thing which saps energy, weakens efficiency and blocks the way of progress—is fostered preju- dice, often blind and without reason which frequently grows into hate— aye, even into war and death—be- tween races and nationalities. The United States is a melting pot; into it are poured all races. Out of it ts born a new race—the American—a race which is to make the nation strong or weak. All races that have helped to make America what she is, have suffered and prospered with the other races. No single race has suf fered or prospered alone, “The Birth of a Race” will picture all this and ‘moe, In prophette vision tt will bring ‘close the future in which the races— ‘all races—will see each other as they are. It is well known fact, and one which the reader will readily recos: nize that the motion picture industry has earned more money in the same length of time than any other indus- try in the world. Today it stands fifth as compared with all other indus- tries in the United States. The fol- lowing returns will give you an idea as tS the importance of the motion ‘picture industry. These reports and earnings are taken from what we ‘believe t be a thoroughly reliable source, “The Million Dollar Mystery” earn ‘ed over 700 per cent. _ “Traffic in Souls” paid the producer over 3,000 per cent. “Neptune's Daughter” has paid 1,200 per cent. “Civilization” has already paid 400 per cent, “The Spoilers,” a Selig production, is reported to have paid 700 per cent, and is still paying, “The Crisis,” a new Selig produc- tion, has already paid more than the cost of production. The opportunity offered you to in. vest a few dollars in the “Birth of a Race” Photoplay Corporation and share with hundreds of others of all races, the large returns which this picture is sure to give, will not be yours unless you act today. Because we are placing a limited number of shares in each state and when these are sold there will be no more for sale. The first come, the first served.

Not necessary the man who makes the most money, nor the man largest in size, but every man, rich or poor, who feels that love of wife and family is greater than love of money is a big man.

If the darkest hour is just before, day, then there is a glorious ranakige| awaiting the American Negro in the very near future. Don't be discour- aged. ‘As a long distance marathon, up to the minute chauffeur, David Jack- son, who drove us to Des Moines, and back this week has got ‘em all skinned and if you want a good natured, intel- ligent and entertaining driver to pilot your car anwyhere in the ccuntry, just try “Jack.” The splendid record being made by our men at the Officers’ Training Camp in Des Moines, Ia., is a source of inspiration and pride to the entire race, and every Negro in America who can visit this camp and see the wonderful work being done there should avail himself of this oppor- tunity, which may never again be witnessed in this country, The high intellectual standard, the dignified de- portment and the enthusiastic avidity with which these men enter into their arduous tasks demonstrate that they realize the responsibility that rests upon them and are determined in the tame of God and the race to MAKE 300D! SAMUEL HOUSTON DEAD, Mr. Samuel Houston, a highly re- spected citizen of Joplin, Mo., and the father of Dr. W. H. Houston of this city of the well known firm of Me- ‘Campbell & Houston, passed away after a short illness at his residence in that city. Mr, Houston was a splen- did stonemason and mechanic and much of the beautiful architecture of the city of Joplin was created by his hands. He owned one of the hand- somest homes in that city and stood high among both white and colored. He was a Master Mason of high de- gree and at the time of his death was ‘Worshipful Master of Myrtle Lodge No. 149, under whose auspices the funeral was held last Sunday. He was always a warm and consistent friend of the Editor of this paper and we mourn with the family in his un- timely demise. On account of the Editor being in Des Moines he was un- able to attend the funeral, but the Sun extends to the bereaved family its deepest sympathy in their hour of sorrow. THE NEGRGO AND THE WORLD WAR, ‘The world war has made prominent the problems relating to the Negro. There is in the United States his mi- gration to the North. On the firing line in France, thousands of black sol- diers from Africa are doing their part. Africa, the continent richest in natural resources, is one of the stakes for which the war is being fought. All of these things have increased the de- mand for accurate, comprehensive and concise information concerning the Negro. Such information is supplied by the almost five hundred pages of the 1916-17 Negro Year Book, Tuske- gee Institute, Ala. THE LEEDS TUBERCULOSIS HOS PITAL MUDDLE. ‘There seems to be quite a row over the Leeds Tuberculosis Hospital and its management, with the city author- ities. The Kansas City Periscope is out claiming that Dr. Wm. H. Crowder, the tuberculosis specialist of this city, should be placed in charge of the institution. The Periscope says that Dr. Crowder has a specific for tuberculosis, ‘The Jackson County Medical Association ‘t would seem is against the Periscope policy. This is not our fight. It is none of our con: cern except as a matter of humanity. If Dr. Crowder has a specific for tuber: culosis, why not give him a chance to demonstrate it at Leeds? His friends claim that he has, Why not let the test be made and the truth either af firmed or disproven? Humanity has a right to this much at Leeds. on of the things that commends t.

It is requested that the following be published: The Quartermaster General has been directed to organize at once forty Bakery Companies in addition to the ten companies now within the Continental limits of the United States. These Companies will be numbered from No. 1 to 52, Nos. 5 and 6 are in Honolulu and the Philippine Islands. The personnel of these companies will The personnel of these companies will consist of 1 First Lieutenant. 2 Spouse of Lieutenant. 1 Second Lieutenant. 1 Sergeant, First Class, $51.00 per month. 23 Sergeants, $44.00 per month. 15 Corporals, $38.00 per month. 45 Privates, First Class, $33.00 per month. 15 Privates, $30.00 per month. 2 Cooks, $38.00 per month. In addition the Government furnishes food, lodging and clothing. The equipment consists of the Army Field Bakery No. 1 oven with equipment. One of these ovens with equipment is designated as a unit, and is so equipped that it is a field Bakery complete in itself with a personnel of six men capable of supplying 1,800 men per day with bread. Fifteen (15) of these units constitute a Bakery Company and the Company has a capacity of forty thousand pounds of bread per day. This is an opportunity for strong and energetic young men to learn a trade. Men who volunteer now will have an excellent opportunity for promotion. There are about 800 vacancies in the grade of Sergeant Baker and 600 in the grade of Corporal to be filled by the most capable men. In addition to this there will be vacancies in the grade of First and Second Lieutenant for experienced Bakers with the necessary educational qualifications. A young man with a good High School education stands a good chance to enlist, learn the baker's trade, and place himself in line for promotion to the grade of Non-Commissioned Officer and Commissioned Officer. Why not enlist now for one of these Companies? You have an opportunity for service abroad and a good chance for promotion. The Quartermaster General has decided to offer the commission in these companies to deserving men from the ranks. By authority of the Quartermaster General. (Signed) O. J. CHARLES, Major. Q. M. Corps. WANTED AT ONCE An active, hustling man for partnership in a good paying tailoring establishment. Inquire of the Kansas City Sun. Mr. R. B. DeFrantz, executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A., located at the Des Moines Training Camp, paid a flying visit to family and friends enroute back to the camp after attending the funeral of his brother, Dr. David DeFrantz, at Denver, Colo. Mr. DeFrantz is looking exceedingly well and is highly enthusiastic not only of the work being done by his department but the splendid record being made by the representatives of the race in the officers' camp. Mrs. Juanita Jones of Oakland avenue is indisposed this week. M. E. Dickerson of Hot Springs, Ark., is spending some time with his cousins. The uncle of Mrs. Stella Fullbright of 2109 North 9th street while motoring with a party of friends was seriously injured last Sunday. By request Rev. D. A.

Many strangers were made welcome at our services last Sunday and after listening to a strong and able sermon by our pastor four persons united with the Church. Madam Watts sang a beautiful solo at the morning services. The picnic given by the Sunday school was a pleasant affair. The Queen of Sheba play given by the Chapter was indeed a success. Large and appreciative audiences were present. The State Missionary Society held at this church was very interesting and successful as well. STILL AT WORK ON "DEEP 6TH." More Than 200 Negroes Put in Jail Saturday in the Second "Cleanup." More than two hundred Negroes were placed in jail by the police yesterday as the result of the second effort within eight days to clean up "Deep Sixth," a notorious portion of Sixth street given over largely to Negroes. Chief Flahive and others long with the police department declare the district worse in many respects than the "wet block." Robbery, gambling and thefts of every kind are practiced. The characters in the district apparently have little respect for or fear of the police, often operating when they are near and almost invariably managing to escape punishment. Even when fines are levied they are easily paid, as plenty of cash is always available. A protective organization is said to exist among them, regular dues being paid for legal services and she "protection" of certain politicians. A week ago this morning forty-four Negroes arrested in the initial drive on "Deep Sixth" were in the North Side Court, but most of them were released because they were "laboring men." "If we can get the courts and the people to stay with us we'll keep after these people until they are put in the penitentiary or driven from the city," Chief Flahive said. "Such districts ought not to be tolerated in a city. Those who live there and who are of good repute should re-operate with us in cleaning it up." - Monday's Star. Importance of Color. Color is a wonderful thing. It goes to the soul of you like music, whether you know it or not.

Time of Revelation Began 8:30 A. M. June 11, 1917. Thus saith the Lord of Host concerning Isaiah's vision, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem the days Uzzith, Jotham Ahaz and Hezekiah, king of Judah. Thus saith the God of Heavens "Give ear old earth these names are spiritually unto your Country and Government." The vision which troubled Isaiah's head on June 5, 1917, and time of the hour was twelve minutes after twelve; I am Alpha the first and the last. Talking unto him and telling him to write what I reveal unto him, then I wrote what my father revealed unto me. I saw an ark angel by the name of Gabriel who was clothed with majesty with sword in one hand and hell—death and destruction was on New York City. Near the harbor vengeance was sworn on New York City and one-fifth of that city would be destroyed. Your God and Father saith the mystery of the interpretation belongs to Him.

G. Chapman.) "Get onto the new girl in the socks!" Which being interpreted meant: "Notice the new saleslady in the ladies' hosiery department." "Yes," responded Mazie Snow, at the ribbons. "She's from the country, all right." Rachel Beck paused to extract a wad of gum from her mouth, and carefully fastened it to the under side of the counter, then she drawled: "How do you know?" "How do I know?" snorted Mazie. "Well, if you've lived over twenty years on this planet, and can't spot a Jay from Jaytown, you'd better go back and get incarcerated over again." "I haven't lived twenty years yet on this planet, and I've never been incarcerated—to my knowledge!" answered Rachel resentfully. "I guess Mazie was trying to say you'd better get 'reincarnated,' and got balled up in her Webster." "Oh," said Rachel, somewhat mollified. "Well, if I were Mazie I wouldn't try to monkey with big words. Well, Hazel looks sort of nice, anyway." "So you've got on chinning terms so quick!" put in Sarah Stempel, the first speaker. "I just heard her telling the floorwalker her name, and he seemed to be taking notice like he'd got his first tooth." "She wants to look out for that guy," observed Mazie evening up some boxes with a bang. "Gee! look at her smile at that customer. She'll get over that before six o'clock." But Hazel didn't "get over it." She was always smiling and good-natured; and that may have been the reason why the floorwalker went on "taking notice." Mazie Snow having at one time been on exceedingly good terms with the floorwalker, and now no longer on such terms, had taken occasion to warn the other girls to beware of his doubtful attentions, and some of them having had real cause to suspect these # "She's From the Country, All Right." gentlemen on general principles, were ready to take Maze's advice to not let Mr. Welch get "fresh." So it was with something akin to alarm that Rachel and Sarah beheld the increasing friendliness of the floorwalker to little Hazel. "That kid's too green and baked to be let to go wrong," observed Sarah to the other two girls one morning after Hazel told her that Mr. Welch had taken her to the movies. "I think," said Rachel, "you ought to tell her to keep carbon tabs on his nibs, and not fall for the first dope he offers." "Oh, yes, tell her," laughed Maze in the satirical tone of a blase rounder. "It'll do a lot of good, won't it? I guess she knows what she's throwing bait for. I saw her with a new one last Sunday, and say, girls! he was the nifty goods!" Hazel began to get some rather cold shoulders from the girls, all but Rachel Beck, who still clung to her impression that the newcomer looked "sort of nice." Acting on this impression, she drew from Hazel some information about herself. She had come from the country. Her father had a small fruit farm, but had later lost a good deal of money, and Hazel had come down to the city in the hope of lightening his load. She took Sarah's advice about the floorwalker in good part, but declared she had seen nothing so far in him but the most gentlemanly conduct. Hazel opened her eyes so wide in surprise at Rachel's warning, she expected to be resentfully told to mind her own business, but instead the girl answered: "I think it's real good and friendly of you, Rachel. I wish you'd come home to dinner with me some time. I get awful lonesome nights, there all alone in my room." Rachel accepted the invitation to the boarding house table, and in turn invited Hazel to share the hospitality of father and mother and the four small Backs. One Monday morning Mazie Snow, with the important air of one who has some surprising news, asked the two girls, Rachel and Sarah, If they had seen the gorgeous new outfit of Hazel. Neither of them had. "Well," said Mazie, "if you'd seen the dress she had on! Satin—no cheap rags—the sort that hangs like a fashion plate, and a coat they ain't marking down from thirty-five. The hat wasn't home trimming nor Fourteenth street, neither. I was that knocked silly I didn't half bow, but I guess she didn't mind much. I don't care what any of you say, those gladsome garments weren't cashed up out of eight dollars a week." Sarah looked unutterable things, and curtly observed she hadn't been able to do that kind of a conjuring trick; but Rachel turned sadly away saying nothing. If the girl she had learned to really care for had gone wrong, it was something too pitiful for words. Rachel went the next Sunday to see Hazel, and found her just leaving the house with a young man, evidently the one Mazie had described as "the nifty goods." Hazel seemed in high spirits, and looked exceedingly charming in the aforesaid "gladsome garments." She asked Rachel to come with them. But Rachel felt decidedly out of place with the stylish, well-groomed pair, and declined. The next news to startle the ribbon counter was that Hazel was leaving the store, and the following day she bade the girls good-by. When they asked her where she was going she answered she was going home. None of them believed her. She drew Rachel's arm in hers as they left the store, and said: "They just want to think the worst of me! Well, I don't care what they think! But you, Rachel, are different. You're going to have your vacation in about a month, aren't you?" "Yes," she answered. "I want you to come out for a few days. I'll write you how to come, and send you the fare; will you?" Rachel promised, but it must be confessed she wondered a bit if she would ever again see Hazel. But the money for the fare, and the invitation for a certain date came on time. When Rachel next appeared among the girls at the store she was the center of an awesome group. "You just ought to see that house," she said, "great big rooms with ever so many windows, and my! such things to eat! and your plate piled up over and over just as though no one was worrying about the high cost of living. There was flowers in all the rooms, and everyone sort of excited, and Hazel said they were going to have a party. Hazel's father and mother are awful nice, and her father is doing real well now. Her mother sent the money to buy those clothes you saw her have on. Well, to get back to the party. A whole lot of people began to come, and well, say, girls, you could have bowled me over with a feather when I saw his nobs, the floorwalker, and Mr. Fraser. She had introduced to me that day. Say, they're cousins, and that's how she got the job. The next thing I saw was Welch making a sort of pathway through the people from the hall door up to the front window, then he and the 'nifty' one walking up together and standing beside a man with a book in his hand. Then music behind somewhere started up the wedding march, and in comes Hazel looking as sweet as a peach in a perfect dream of a dress, veil, orange blossoms, and all, her father leading her to it." "Which one did she marry?" chorused the girls. "Why, Fraser, the 'nifty one,' of course. Welch was only the best man. But I tell you he did look some swell—and I he was awful nice to me." ACTION COST CHAUFFEUR TIP Little Joke Practiced on "Newlyweds" Caused Resentment in Young Husband's Breast. The chauffeur who was to drive the newly wedded couple from the church to the station liked to "kid" one along. So when they stepped into the taxi he was prominently adjusting his little mirror in front. The bridegroom was worried. So he noticed the young man fixing the mirror. He was suspicious. Yes, he should have been suspicious, for the horrid man was fixing that mirror so that he could see right back into the back seat. The bride breathlessly settled down for the short ride. But dear Henry did not offer one post-nuptial caress. He was very formal and still. The young bride had heard of deserting husbands, but Henry seemed so nice and so in earnest. Could Henry be one of those—" The car stopped and the couple alighted. The bridegroom blushed deeply as he handed the taxi driver his fee. But no tip. He would show the horrid thing. Pullman porters were not so inquisitive.—Indianapolis News. Safety First. "What is your objection to me as a son-in-law?" "I haven't any objection to you," replied Mr. Cumrox. "But I have trouble enough maintaining my own position in this household without assuming the slightest responsibility for anybody else." Remembered That All Right. "My wife gave me a letter to mall." "Did you remember to do it?" "You bet I did. A cousin of her's with three children had threatened her with a visit, and she was telling them not to come." THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1917. Fads And Fancies Of Fashion If there is such a thing any more as an unsightly bathing suit, there is no excuse for it. Women go down to the sea in clothes that might have been designed for the Russian ballet or to be worn at a court reception given by old Neptune himself, they are so graceful and colorful. Whether they are destined to ever get wet or not—that is the question. But if the new suits are only to be looked at they have a good excuse for being. They are of silk or jersey and much helped out with rubber cloth, and there are many new features to report about them. Everything has been done with rubber cloth. Caps, hats, scarfs and skirts I THE FASHION OF THE TIME THE LADY OF THE SEA are made of it, and even flowers for trimming hats and caps. It is made in black, oyster white and colors, and there is no telling where its use will end. Just now it appears in scarfs or shawls and black cushions to match caps and hats. A few suits have appeared in which the skirts were made of a long fringe of rubber made by slashing it into narrow strips. The scarf shown in the picture is finished in this way. The suit for water sports and beach wear with pointed skirt and trouserettes is made of soft taffeta. The four points on the skirt are finished with tassels and smaller tassels fall from the ends of the bands that tie about the arms, fastening under-arm coverings to place. is a puff laid in plaits and by crinoline.

This model may be made to stand the water—or not, according to the disposition of its wearer. Motor hats that mark the transition from summer to fall are launched before that time is near; for the motor hat must suit itself to all seasons. The new ones are of fabrics—silk, wool, felt and a newcomer that looks like thin, black patent leather, but is something else. It is used in combination with the other fabrics in the body of motor hats, in trimmings and in entire hats. It is as pliable as ribbon, appears to be waterproof, and er colors but often the quiet colors of the hair finish. To Keep Blanket When washing wool lint in clear water to ness. Rinse in warm water has been dissolved just to make the water soft. --- adds much character and brilliance to hats for motor or outing wear. Nearly all the new models have narrow drooping brims and crowns a little less soft than those on summer hats. This results in hats of more dignity than is possible in very soft crowns. But there is nothing rigid or hard about the new arrivals. Three of them are pictured in the group above, any of them may be worn with or without a veil. The hat in the center has a graceful and fairly wide brim faced with white crepe. The hat is of dark gray taffeta and is worn with a coarse-meshed silk veil in purple. The crown I is a puff laid in plaits and supported by crinoline. The brim edge is softened by a narrow plaiting of the silk. The hat at the left is of silk jersey over a flexible frame and is trimmed with a felt and chenille ornament. A thin chiffon vell falls from the brim, covers the face and encircles the throat. At the right a hat of gold-colored felt has its top crown of the black leatherlike material and a binding of it. A button to match fastens down a black silk cord ending in a black silk tassel. This is a vivid and very becoming hat. All three of these are so designed that wind or weather will do them small harm, and they are more than presentable for street wear. The story of motor vells is brief, they are of thin chiffon, or silk mesh, and not very long. Green and purple are among the best liked of the bright- V er colors but often they match the quiet colors of the hats which they finish. Julia Bottomley To Keep Blankets Soft.

WHERE SUBMARINES GO OUT With English Channel Blocked There Is Only One Open Channel From German Ports Into Atlantic. There are two ways of getting into the Atlantic ocean from German ports. One is through the English channel, which has been blocked since the beginning of the war; the other is through the North sea, which English naval strategy has thus far failed to close. The narrowest outlet of the northern route is between the Orkney islands and the coast of Norway, a distance of 240 miles. But the depth of water at this point is such that submarines may easily dive below any mine or net system that might be stretched across the wide neck of the bottle here. South of this line the water becomes shallower, and mine or net laying becomes effective from Flamborough Head directly across to the coast of Jutland, passing over the famous Dogger bank, with from 60 to 120 feet of water, to the shallower depths over the Jutland bank. Below that point there is more shoal water, with frequent banks and ridges and flats which have to be carefully avoided by mariners, and which make submarine operation difficult. The problem, then, lies in the eastern part of the North sea, where particularly deep water—100 to 500 feet—off the coast of Norway, affords passage for the submarines. German U-boats easily pass from the Baltic through the Cattegat—an international waterway—into the deep water found just off the Skaw at the tip of Denmark, and thus into the North sea, hugging the shores of Norway all the way. A stopper in the Cattegat would solve the problem, and the feat is not impossible, although England would be greatly aided by the neutrality of Norway and Denmark. Since under present conditions an actual blockade is impossible, the evil has been reduced by canalizing it. In other words, the navy is forcing the u-boats to take certain narrow and difficult channels, and keeping as close a watch as possible over these routes. But they cannot stretch nets deep enough to block the only exit remaining to Germany. Perhaps the "new device" which American inventors hope will eliminate the U-boat as a factor in the war has to do with an effective stopper for this outlet.—Syracuse Post Standard. Simplicity in Army Press The London Times reporter who met General Pershing and his staff on the occasion of their passage through the British metropolis was so much impressed with the simplicity of the officers' uniforms that he described them in some detail for the benefit of the Thunderer's readers. Especially did he remark that, compared to those of the British army, the Americans' uniforms are unobtrusive. This may comfort some of our home folks, who have imbbed their idea of official dress from watching a parade of the governor's staff, says the Omaha Bee. As a matter of fact, the American army officer never has been given to excess in the matter of dress. While he has always been arrayed more definitely than was Gungha Dhin, he has at no time sought to shame the noonday sun, and some of his greatest accomplishments have been achieved at times when his apparel was least impressive. General Grant received the surrender of Robert E. Lee attired in a battered service uniform, much worse for hard riding over dusty roads on that memorable morning, and many stories are related of how General Washington went among his men unrecognized because of the lack of official designation. Umbrella Went With Room Jones was miserable. There he was alone, damp and unhappy, eating his Christmas dinner in the coffee room of a woebegone and lonely inn. Jones' motto has always been "Business before pleasure," but he wished he had shirked the business which had summoned him to this part of the country at Christmasmide. He dozed for a while, and then in desperation betook himself to bed. He was awakened by the patterning of rain, and to his disgust he found water dripping on to the bed through the ceiling. He pulled the bell savagely, and after a lapse of time someone condescended to answer it. "You must find me another room, please," said Jones. "The rain is leaking in like fury!" "Oh, is that all you are bothering about?" snarled the landlady's voice. "If you'd thought to look you'd have found an umbrella under the bed! Use it, man!" A Cure for Concelt "When lecturing in the north of England," says Sir Ernest Shackleton, the famous explorer, "before it was time for the proceedings to begin on one occasion, I took a apep through the curtain to see what kind of an audience I was likely to have. Things looked promising, and I said so. "Yes," said the chairman, I think you are going to have as big an audience as the handbell ringers bad last week. "That is the sort of thing," added Sir Ernest, "that keeps me modest." Still Hoping. "Now that we are engaged, you mustn't even look at another man." "I can't promise that." "You love me, don't you?" "Yes, Henry, but how do I know that I won't be able to better myself?" NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Squirrel's Thirst Almost Cost Animal Its Life WASHINGTON.—If your friends include a country squirrel whose home address is a nut tree, with a running stream for neighbor, you will know that, as a good provider, his name is Hoover. But there are always others—this one, for instance, who has found fountain basin and I soon saw that he was not going to be able to get out of his predicament. I hailed the street lighter and he got him out with his stick. He tells me this happens frequently in summer time and that he often takes them out of the fountain in a very exhausted condition. "But to get back to the story—the squirrel was no sooner rescued than he made off for the same tree which he had descended a moment before, and as my eyes followed him in his ascent they rested on something in the forks of the tree which proved to be a flask a little more than half full of whisky. This fact, coupled with the animal's thirst, certainly makes out a good case by circumstantial evidence. However, this, of course, is a mere coincidence and has nothing to do with either the chilling effect of the squirrel's early morning bath or his abnormal thirst, for he seemed to be a perfectly sober and respectable squirrel, and there is no doubt in my mind but that the afore-said hidden treasure really belonged to another and entirely different kind of animal. Still one cannot help but wonder if the owner of the bottle would not take quite as great a risk to secure a drink from either it or the fountain so early on a Sunday morning, or which animal is really the more reckless of his future. "If you will absorb this little story, which is a true one, it may bring about the provision of means whereby the squirrels may be able to get out of the fountains, which ought to be done. It is not pleasant to think of their swimming themselves to death on some occasion." Women Displacing Men in the National Capital URED by thousands of vacancies in the federal departments and private institutions as a result of war, women are flocking to Washington in such numbers that the capital is in danger of being overrun with them. Few men is made that with a continuance of the war for a year or more there will be two women for every man in the city. One member of congress from Virginia said that he had assisted more than 100 women from among his constituency to obtain employment in the public service during the last few months. Recently four cabinet officers—Secretaries Lansing, Baker, Daniels and Redfield—announced that women would be appointed in their departments in preference to men. This policy was adopted as a military precaution; the men are needed for duty on the firing line and in the process of mobilization of the nation's resources. It is probable that the other departments are doing the same, although without public announcement.

The Chicago women declared that the camps the government should establish in various sections of the country where nurses could reduce should be similar to those for soldiers. The courses should be of from two to six months' duration, according to the size of the nurse. Then, fully, reduced, they would be ready for France, or could better withstand the strain of field service.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1917. (Continued from page 1.) taking training and physicians, lawyears and dentists are in every company. But to secure so many representatives of the highest type of the race much saffron has been necessary. Most of these men have given up well established professional and business careers as well as home and family. Doctor Ward Trains Here. A typical example is that of Dr. Joseph H. Ward of Indianapolis, Ind., who left his wife and two children, a profitable medical practice, and his private surgical sanitarium, from patriotic reasons alone. Doctor Ward, who is 44 years of age, has practiced surgery for 18 years, has been city school inspector in Indianapolis for eight years, and is chairman of the finance committee of the Indianapolis branch of the Y. M. C. A., the foremost organization of its kind in the world. "This is a history making period, and I want to be connected with it," was the simple explanation offered by Doctor Ward for giving up a life of comparative ease to toil with pick and shovel on the rifle range and take long hikes under a boiling July sun. We might add that Prof. Beckett has just been appointed doctor of physical training at Howard University and has been delegated to outline and have printed a Teacher's Course for Physical Training. We met many prominent men here whom space will not permit us to name, but among interesting characters we met were Sergeants Walter C. Lyons, H. D. Queen and H. C. Huston, who were with General Pershing at the Massacre of Carrizal, and who assisted in carrying Captain Morey after he had been severely wounded to a place of safety and then made their escape over 80 miles of sandy desert to their main camp. We also met Mr. J. D. Heslip from Mississippi, who is the brilliant editor of the University Journal of Howard University, who informed us that there were nearly 300 Howard men in the camp. We also met our brilliant and eloquent friend, Jose H. Sherwood of Minnesota, who is generalissimo of the United Grand Commandery of Missouri and who keenly regrets his inability to be in attendance at the Grand Session this year, but the Editor believes it would be a high tribute and a token of appreciation on the part of the Grand Commandery to re-elect Brother Sherwood during his absence, while he is helping make history for the race. We also met Grand Master S. Joe Brown of the Iowa Jurisdiction, one of the most brilliant attorneys of the race, who is working like a farm hand, day in and day out, to make history for our people. From Omaha we met the irrepressible Dr. J. S. Peeples, who is always full of life and jollity, and Lawyer Will N. Johnson, who was a recent candidate for public defense in that city. Among the Kansas boys we met Young Hamilton, the undertaker, and Attorney Jamison of Topeka; also Dr. Hayden of Kansas City, Kansas, who were all making good, and from our own Imperial Missouri we met Col. Bolivar Watkins, who is every inch a soldier, of St. Louis; and Railway Mail Clerk Thomas, also of St. Louis; Dr. D. V. Tymony of Columbia, the two sons of Principal J. R. E. Lee, one a physician, the other a pharmacist; Will Mallory, J. C. Banks, Edward Fladger, I. H. Horton, Blydon Yates, J. R. Fairley, who is one of the most capable and best liked officers at the fort, who is fortified by six years experience in the 9th Cavalry; also our old friend, the photographer, C. Bruce Santee, who has opened an elegant studio at 786 West 9th street in the city and who is doing a land office business out at the training camp and turning out splendid work. We also met Mr. G. H. Purnell, who has charge of the Commissary Department and is giving splendid satisfaction; also Mr. Robert C. Long, the head baker, and his assistant, Clarence Banks, and Charles Blanton, while among the numerous chefs we found our old friend, Horace Burk, presiding over the kitchen of Company No. 3, while Company No. 2 is fortunate in having for its chefs the Henderson boys, Fritz and Jess, brothers to Mrs. B. M. Weaver of the Weaver Floral Co. We forgot to mention that among its students from this city we saw Edward Baker, I. F. Bradley, Jr.; Arthur Hardy, the capable physical director of Kansas Y. M. C. A. "Gym"; Percy Lyle, Jeff Hudgens of the 10th Cavalry, son of one of our best citizens, who is sure to succeed, and a large number of others whom we wish we had space to name. The camp was still bubbling over with enthusiasm engendered by the visit of Col. Charles Young, who has attained the highest rank of any Negro in the regular army, and Dr. Jesse E. Moreland, international secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Sunday evening at 6 o'clock we witnessed 'one of the most remarkable and inspiring spectacles we have ever known, when more than 12,000 people filled the great stadium of Drake University to witness the regiment from the Negro Training Camp give an exhibition of their five weeks' training, and also render a program which was unexcelled. The following from the Register of Monday will be interesting to our many readers who did not have the opportunity to witness this first public demonstration of these men: "The 1,200 men from the Negro officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines gave the audience an hour of entertainment which will not easily be forgotten by those present. "The singing was something different. It was for the most part the peculiar racial melody of the Negro, presented by a chorus trained under military discipline to a perfection hard to achieve in civilian life. "It carried a punch. All through the selections ran the strain of melancholy always evident in truly Negro music. When the eight members of the double quartet sang "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," they told the whole tragedy of an oppressed people in their voices. "When the chorus sang "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," the audience got a touch of the Negro religious enthusiasm, and when the men swung into "Tipperary" that had something in it that the ordinary "Tipperary" does not carry, the audience almost broke up the selection with applause. Chorus Like an Organ. The chorus did not produce the effect of a similar number of white singers. There was never a hard tone; the voices blended into a soft but melodious chord which vibrated like the pipes of an organ. "They didn't sing "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" as an Irishman would sing it. The Celtic air of devil-may-care light heartedness was gone, and in its place was a seriousness which was almost plaintive. The crowd came early, the west side of the stadium being well filled by 5 o'clock. When the program commenced at 5:30 o'clock almost every seat was filled, and an overflow of at least 2,000 persons was hunting for shady places about the sides of the bowl. The Typographical Union Band led by John Beeston, was the first to arrive, and played several numbers. Then the Tihrd Regiment Band led by Charles Fraser, marched in and alternated in the music. "America" Is Sung. Dean Holmes Cowper of Drake University led the first community number, the singing of "America." The great audience started slowly the volume of song rising in a vocal avalanche. Then eight uniformed Negroes took the center of the stadium. They were T. J. Lancaster, J. E Scott, Bush Hunter, A. S. Gilpin, R. R. Penn, L. C. White, C. H. Thompson and L. G. Koger. They sang through megaphones, unaccompanied, and their first selection was a touching bit of melody, "I Want to Be Ready." This was followed by probably the most impressive of their selections, "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray." The melody was a searching one which went to the heart. The double quartet closed with "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground." "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," sung by the entire assembly, was next after which the east and west stands alternated in the verses of the Forty-sixth psalm. Bill Might Have Worried. If Kaiser Wilhelm had been present when the whole 10,000 or more joined in the final verse, "The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge," he would have been justified in doubting whether he had a monopoly upon the favors of the Almighty, and in whether he might not be mistaken as to the amount of influence he had in divine affairs. "Onward, Christian Soldiers," by the community, followed, and then the Negro troops, headed by the First Regiment band, led by Jacob Schmidt, entered the stadium. Colonel Ballou made a splendid impression as he led his men. He was mounted on a fine bay, and was every inch a soldier in bearing and behavior. The men entered by companies, four abreast, formed in battalions and lined up at the west side of the stadium facing east. Sing While Flag Is Raised. As the band played the National anthem, the star spangled banner was raised, while every soldier stood at attention and the crowd sang the words of the song. The troops then stacked arms, and 300 of the men were ordered from the ranks to lead the singing. These men, under direction of W. C. Bryant, a Fisk University Negro from Tennessee, formed a semi-circle before the flag. "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" was the first number. It is a song whose melody is traditional in the Negro. It is one of those melodies musical authorities say is purely American, or rather Afro-American, and was sung in the South long before the war. Every word was clean cut. When the men sang "Comin' for to Carry Me Home," the peculiarities of accent were magnified a thousand fold, yet without harshness. Next came "Steal Away." Imagine a lullaby sung by 1,200 men, yet so softly sweet that a child would have easily dropped to slumber while the entire chorus sang, and you may get some idea of what the selection was. "Ippiery" was next and last. A great, black lad at one end of the circle sang the verses and the entire regiment joined in the chorus. Milli- tary discipline, which had held them rigid in some of the selections, was forgotten, and bodies swayed with the rhythm of the marching song. Then the bugle sounded, the flag was lowered as the band again played "The Star Spangled Banner," and the audience sang. Troops Are Reviewed. The troops then gave a regimental drill under direct orders of Colonel Ballou. They went through the manual of arms wich snap and precision, and were then reviewed by Colonel Ballou before they broke open formations and marched from the stadium. The men came from the fort via street car or by big auto trucks of Uncle Sam's commissary department. It is needless to say that the Colored people were in ecstacies over the magnificent showing made by the representatives of our race and the tumultuous waves of applause that greeted them throughout the entire rendition of the mixed program. On Monday we visited the camp again, went to the riffle range, where a number of the companies were having target practice and spent a pleasant hour, where we were served with luncheon by the boys of the California delegation, among whom were our old friend, G. W. Obee, the undertaker, and Jesse Graves, the county treasurer's clerk of Des Moines, who is also taking training. Here we met Sergeant Marchbanks, our old friend from Fort Huachuca, and several of the other boys whose names we don't recall just at this moment. Among those who accompanied us out to the camp were Minnie L. Crothwait of this city and son, David, of Marshalltown, Ia.; Miss Ella Page of Topeka, Kas.; Mrs. Marie Cox of Sedalia, Mo.; John S. Coleman and wife of Des Moines and Jack Broomfield, James Banks, Bob Robinson and Fred Jackson of Omaha, who were as enthusiastic as we as what they witnessed. We were invited by Dr. Cabinness to call upon Colonel Ballou, the ommanding officer, but were unable to do so at the time set. But to say that he is beloved by officers and men is but a mild expression of the high regard in which he is held by the Colored people of Des Moines, both cadets and civilians, as one distinguished Negro, whose name we will not call, enthusiastically said to us, "There are but three great white men living today whom the Negro loves and adores, and those are Col. C. C. Ballou, General John J. Pershing and the immortal and unapproachable Theodore Roosevelt." And if the Negro troopers and soldiers could have their way, Col. Ballou would be made a general in command of all Negro regiments. Another officer who is highly spoken of is Captain McMurray, who is a stern disciplinarian, but nevertheless a firm friend of the men under him and whom they hope to see elevated before many days. The work has been very hard for many of the civilian Negroes but they are gradually getting hardened to it. Col. C. C. Ballou, the officer in command of the camp, gives the men 10 hours' work a day, and most of the evenings are devoted to study. A baseball league and motion picture machine furnish recreation for the men. Picture shows are given Saturday and Sunday evenings. In addition to the civilians, many of the Negroes at the camp have seen service, some in Mexico and some in the Philippines. One man, W. Bazil, spene 12 years in the British army, going through the Boen and Ashantie wars in Africa. On Tuesday morning after paying our respects to the invincible editor of the Bystander, Hon. John L. Thompson, and visiting Dr. McCree, who has the only drug store in the city; visiting the hall of North Star Lodge, A. F. and A. M., which they have recently purchased, and bidding our hosts goodby, we boarded our car and started for dear old Kansas City, stopping for a few moments to visit Mr. and Mrs. Smart, Mr. and Mrs. Gooden and a few friends in Maryville, Mo.; then on to St. Joseph, where we stopped for a little, while with Dr. Thompson, the popular druggist, and brother of the editor of the Des Moines Bystander; then on to Kansas City, where we arrived without mishap, dusty, tired, but happy, at 3:00 a. m. Wednesday morning. In conclusion, we say that every Negro in America who is financially able and can spare the time should visit this training camp before its close and see the wonderful work being done by Colonel Ballou and the 1,250 students under his control, many of whom he says are sure to make splendid officers.

These truly are the Brave, These men who cast aside Old memories, to walk the blood-stained pave Of Sacrifice, joining the solemn tide, That moves away to suffer, and to die For Freedom, when their own is yet denied— O Pride! O Prejudice! When they pass by Hall them, the Brave, for you now crucified! These truly are the Free, These souls that grandly rise Above base dreams of vengeance for their wrongs, Who march to War, with visions in their eyes. Of Peace through Brotherhood; Lifting glad songs Aforetime, while they front the firing-line— Stand, and behold; They take the field today, Shedding their blood, like Him now held divine, That those who mock might find a better way!
