French and American Commanders Praise Their CooInness and Courage Under Severest "Baptism of Fire." Snappy at Drilling and Expert in Field Maneuvers. "My Oldest Veterans Could Do it No Better," Said a Noted French General. VOLUME X. NUMBER 11. SCHOOL COLORED SOLDIERS OVER S French and American Commande and Courage Under Severes Snappy at Drilling and Expert in Oldest Veterans Could Do it Noted French C With the American Armies in France.—Colored troops from America already have established themselves in Europe as being cool and reliable fighters in the front line. Both American and French commands say so, and if the Germans ever discovered who it was that held part of the line through Argonne Forest when the boches failed to get through some time ago, the German command has a decidedly high respect for American Colored infantry. Up and down the line, after the test of a year's service, you hear no doubts expressed regarding the Colored infantry. The Colored doughboys have made good in the line as well as behind. They have proven themselves col and brave soldiers in the trenches, and gentlemen when back at rest in French towns. You are continually running into units of these Colored chaps as you travel up and down the line from Switzerland to Flanders. Pull Off Some Snappy Drilling. Down in a little town some miles back of Verdun the correspondent en MRS. MAGGIE WASHINGTON The above is a splendid likeness of the best agent that the Kansas City Sun has in this city, Mrs. Maggie Washington, who sells each Saturday more than 150 Suns, an equal number of Defenders and quite a few Freemans. Mrs. Washington is quiet and unassuming, but an active and alert business woman who makes friends of her many customers, of whom she is justly proud and to whom she is sincerely thankful for their weekly patronage. While some women are scouring and scrubbing every day in the week, Mrs. Washington, with her polite and intelligent children, earns in two days from $20.00 to $30.00. The Sun has a number of other agents whom it hopes will strive to equal if not surpass the splendid record of Mrs. Washington. countered a large unit of these Colored chaps, all from Chicago or thereabouts. They had just come back to rest, after a long period in the Argonne Forest trenches. Like their predecessors, a Negro unit from New York, they had made a great hit with the French officers in high command of the sector. Unlike the New York Negroes, these Chicago boys had encountered no big fighting, and they were disappointed at being taken from the trenches before doing big fighting. The French officers explained that good soldiers can be recognized just as well when they are holding the line as when they are fighting, but the Colored doughboys were still disappointed. Finally the French general of the army came down to review the Negro outfit. Down by the creek they went through some of the snappiest exercise ever seen, and the French general was delighted. When the review as it had been planned was finished the general turned to the Ameri- "If I were an American general what would I do now?" asked the Frenchman. "Most anything," replied the colonel. "These boys will do anything you wish." "Well, suppose the Germans were across the creek," replied the general, "I'd like to have this nearest company attack them." Difficult Field Maneuver Skillfully Executed. The captain of the nearest company was given the order, and he marched his men across the meadow, where they suddenly disappeared. Pretty soon a whistle sounded and the company was up and running toward the creek. Only a minute, and then they dropped, waiting, then running, always skirmishing in the latest approved French fashion. When they dropped it was with skirmish lines in advance and two support lines leading off to the rear, with each man dropping over the legs of the chap in front of him. Tin deribies and packs covered the upper portions of their bodies. After a bit of a flank movement by a couple of platoons, the supposed German positions along the creek were stormed and taken. The French general was delighted beyond words for a moment. Finally he said, "My oldest veterans could do it no better, even if they were warned it was on the program, and your boys did that extemporaneously." The general remembered the review, and a few days later these colored chaps from Chicago received a fine letter from him, congratulating them on their spirit de corps and their work. FRENCH LIKE COLORED AMERICANS. It was interesting to see how these colored boys mixed with the French inhabitants of the village, with whom the Americans were billeted. The French folks like the colored boys, and felt highly honored at the way the latter learned French. The colored Americans are getting extremely fluent, and it fits entirely with their scheme of things to use all French forms of politeness. Down the battle line a large unit of colored troops was encountered at serious business. It was going into the line, taking over a hilly and important sector formerly held by French troops. It was the first taste of the trenches, or of the front for the boys in this unit. These men were mostly from the South. They had been trained in the middle west, and some more in France, but never had been on duty under shell fire. Yet on this dark night, while the Germans bombarded, these thousands of colored doughboys, chiefly under the direction of colored officers, though some were white, took over a difficult and long sector without a mishap and with less noise than usual, so the French officers said. They have held that long sector for some time now, and there has been no slip, from the farthest outpost to the rear supply truck. You ask how can the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Auxiliary serve a complete dinner including turkey with cranberry sauce, two or three vegetables, mince and pumpkin pie and drinks for 35 cents? The answer is easy. Everything is donated. Chickens, ducks and turkeys are being contributed by friends of the hospital, both in Kansas City and other cities, and vegetables are being given by the sack and the only thing the splendid women of the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Auxiliary have to do is to prepare it in that appetizing way that made their last dinner such a famous and overwhelming success. This time they will be positively prepared to KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1918. NEGROES OF KANSAS CITY AGAIN GO OVER THE TOP 100% Americanism From First Gun Fire to Last. United War Work Campaign Another Victory. $40,000 Says Chairman Dabney. The loyalty of the Kansas City Negroes to the war program as evidenced from the beginning of hostilities to the signing of the armistice, November 11, which marked its close, by the cheerfulness with which he responded to every call, stamps him as a patriot of the Simon Pure breed. But, for that matter, when was the Negro here or elsewhere ever anything else? The true stout-heartedness of the American Black has never by his worst enemy been admissibly to the realm of doubt. True character as indicated by the significance of color was never more pronounced in the history of the world. The German spy system, cunning in device and devious in ways, in its aggressive ramifications, penetrated the innermost seclusion of state and industrial life, offering grave impediments, startling and stubborn opposition and many times successful, the temporary barriers to the Nation's progress in its efforts to get into the war. A Shining Record. The attaint of this nefarious system never was able to establish a contact that would bring the loyalty of the American Negro under the faintest suspicion. When spies were sought for, fairer faces than that of the Negro were scrutinized and the slacker, when found, was always of a different and supposedly more favorably racial type. He scorned the life the proffer of German gold and discerned the purpose of German intrigue, falling not a prey to the one nor a dupe to the other; but notwithstanding the many inequalities new and old, of which just complaint might most emphatically be made, all thought of self was submerged to the nobler obligation due to his Government and that due to the bigger debt owned to the brotherhood of the world, and lighting the fires of patriotism in 12,000,000 hopeful hearts he offered most freely and willingly the same spotless 100% Americanism as a sacrifice upon the holy altar of freedom which has characterized this peculiar people from the struggle on Boston Commons in 1776 and through all intervening crises of the Nation down to the inferno in the trenches in France November 11, 1918. The universal vote of confidence reposed in his unquestionable manhood by the Governmental departments from the beginning to the end very amply attests this incontrovertible fact. Throughout this heart trying nerve shattering conflict, willing sacrifice, full service, manly fortitude, and jeweled consistency, contributes to the splendid record which his dauntless hand has traced upon the paged history of the world. Kansas City's Part. No American city can justly point with a finger of greater pride to the part which its Negro citizenship has played than Kansas City, Mo. One big heart throb, black and white in unison, may aptly describe the patriotic enthusiasm which greeted the declaration of war by the President against Germany and started this community out upon the many herculean tasks of multiplied war programs allotted and which it has been called upon from time to time to perform. The lofty and high minded white men and women composing the various war work committees from the very start, recognizing the splendid character of their Negro neighbors, joined their hands unto ours, giving us the widest possible opportunity for service and the dollars thus raised and the effort expended in the raising of them lost all traces of the color line when blended into the overflowing quota of Kansas City's abundant success. which will close today, marks another victory for us and gives further evidence of the tireless effort and continued devotion of our people. The committee when chosen to conduct this campaign assessed against the Negro manhood and womanhood of this city $10,000.00 as a reasonable proportion of the $150,000 required to be raised. The week has been one of tireless effort upon the part of the workers engaged and from the reports already obtained by Chairman Dabney, it is fair to assume that the sum total of our subscription will exceed $40,000.00; but let none refuse to GIVE, GIVE, GIVE. Give up to the last minute and to the last man, woman and child and remember that in so doing you will help to render more bearable the lot of our brave soldiers, black and white who have so valiantly fought to make possible the freedom of the world. ```markdown ``` COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG the only Negro of his rank in the United States Army, restored to duty and assigned to Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill.

C., Nov. 14.—Anouncement is made by Emmett J. Scott, special assistant, that the Secretary of War has directed as necessary in the military service that Colonel Charles Young proceed to Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois, and report in person to the Commanding General of that Camp for assignment to duty in connection with the Colored Development Battalions at Camp Grant. Ten New Colored Chaplains Appointed Ten new Colored chaplains have been appointed for service among the Colored troops of the United States Army, with rank of first lieutenant. They are: Charles Y. Trigg (Methodist) assigned to Camp Alexander, Newport News, Va.; Needham M. Means( Methodist), to Camp Travis, Fort Sam Houston, Tex.; James B. Adams (Baptist), to Camp Lee, Va.; Robert G. Morris (Methodist), to Camp Meade, Annapolis Junction, Md.; Robert W. Jefferson (Baptist), and George C. Parker and Isaac C. Snowden (both Methodists), to Camp Sevler, Greenville, S. C.; Frank R. Arnold, William Y. Bell and Benjamin H. Johnson are as yet unassigned. These appointments, together with the number previously assigned, gives a total of sixty Colored chaplains now serving in the United States Army, in this country and overseas. Colored Medical Officers Assigned to Active Service. Washington, D. C., Nov. 14.—Announcement is made that a number of Colored physicians, who have been serving as privates in the military service, have been given commissions as lieutenants in the Army Medical Corps and have been assigned to active duty in several of the Colored schools where units of the Students' Army Training Corps are established and young Colored men are receiving instruction in collegiate and vocational branches, in connection with their training in military science and tactics. Lieut. Fred D. Ramsey has been assigned to Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and Lieut. Robert D. Foster to Morehouse College and Atlanta University, Atlanta, for duty with both institutions. The following assignments have also been made: Lieut. J. M. Gill to Branch Normal School, Pine Bluff, Ark.; Lieut. J. I. A. Webb to Negro Agricultural and Technical College, Greensboro, N. C.; Lieut. J. N. S. Taylor, Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., and Lieut. W. H. Calhoun to Meharry Medical College and Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., the last named serving with both of the Nashville colleges. That the careful study of disabled soldiers by the Red Cross Institute in New York will be of special benefit to Negro soldiers is pre-eminently apparent. The Government gives to them, of course, as to the American Indians in the military service, exactly the same benefits which come to the white men. These black men and red men are making history in Europe and their place will be honorable when they return and their services will be required. Among the Negro soldiers who will be returned crippled from the front, there will be men who, before they entered the Army, had no special occupation or education of any kind; these will be given trades and perfected in them so that to make a living will be not only possible but agreeable, for they will be permitted to choose their callings. Already much has been done in Canada and England for the black crippled soldier. For those who have the knack of hand craft, shoemaking, tailoring and similar trades have proven successful to a degree, especially for those who have lost legs. Typewriting, stenogram, telegraphy have been successfully taught to crippled Negroes, the one-armed finding clever devices for aiding them in these callings. PRICE, 5c.

Fire broke out in the tower of the main building of Lincoln Institute about 8:15 Monday morning. Teachers and students were making ready to assemble in the class rooms when the alarm was given. All joined hands, and under the heroic leadership of Prof. J. E. Rose, assisted by Prof. J. E. Damel, took out the property that was in the various classrooms, so that the damage to the equipment of the school was very small. There was no damage done save to the tower. The building was not insured. To replace the tower will cost probably $20,000.00. It is believed that the fire was caused by the crossing of wires, as the wiring of Lincoln Institute is very imperfect. Both boys and girls worked enthusiastically to conquer the fire and to save the equipment of the school. Well, it's all over; the war is ended and some of our boys will soon be home.

RACE PREJUDICE GETS KNOCK-OUT IN 74TH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. Real simon pure democracy if you please reigns in the 74th Assembly District, and on his merits, Frederick Madison Roberts was on last Tuesday elected to represent this District in the Assembly of the great State of California, for the next two years. Notwithstanding the fact that Roberts won the Republican nomination at the August primaries in a field of five aspirants, and which nomination is always equivalent to an election; strong efforts were made to defeat him, on no issue other than race prejudice. His independent opponent gum-shoed around the District passing out his cards, written on the back thereof was the inscription, "My opponent is a Nigger." All fair minded people resented this, and Mr. Gahart, the man who put it in vogue, was buried under an avalanche of votes. The final count was, Roberts 2,556; Gahart, 1,794; a majority for Roberts of 726. And thus the 74th Assembly District of the great State of California presents a practical demonstration of real democracy, for be it known, without the support of a very considerable part of the white voters in this District the election of Mr. Roberts would have been impossible, while in this District there is a great big colored population, the same does not by any means excell that of the white people, therefore the victory for democracy is clean cut and unquestioned—Los Angeles Eagle.

Both Fayette and McDowell counties have had Colored legislators before, the former three and the latter one, but at no time has there been more than one Colored representative in the legislature.

Dyeing and Bleaching THE INTERSTATE LITERARY AS SOCIATION OF KANSAS AND The Twenty-eighth Annual Session of the Association will be held in Wichita, Kansas, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 26, 27 and 28, 1918. Every effort is being made to make this session historic. Twenty-seven years having elapsed since, in Topeka, the Association was organized, the Executive Committee desires the active, co-operative support of all societies, that a program may be presented commensurate with the occasion; thus making this session a celebration. It is desired that every person keep this idea in view. There will be many new features this year, including a symposium in which the Presidents of all colored colleges of the Middle West have been asked to serve. Further, the Hon. James Weldon Johnson of New York will address this meeting. There should be no reason so great that the attendance will suffer. The great war demands that the darker races should preserve their educational societies; that the intellectual elements should not be crushed out, but that they might receive the most scrupulous attention in view of the fact that a reconstruction period must follow this conflict. Getting behind the Interstate simply means that you are furnishing the stimulus for inspiration and encouragement—a thing every colored person needs in these trying times. Reasonable rates are offered. The cost of boarding and rooming facilities will not exceed one dollar and a half ($1.50) a day. Any literary society, debating club, or other organization rendering programs of a literary or musical character is eligible to meborship, and will be admitted upon sending to the Corresponding Secretary on or before December first, the name of the organization and city in which such society is located. If not on the roster of the 1917 session, a membership fee of $1.50 must be paid. Societies recorded at the 1917 session retain their membership, by sending the Corresponding Secretary $1.00 on or before December 1, 1918. Each society thus enrolled is entitled to three delegates and to be further represented by one of this number on program. Contests—One evening will be given over to contests in oratory, original poetry, original music, and declamation. To the winners, first and second prizes will be awarded. These contests will be open to anyone except persons graduating in any of the above branches. Rules. 1—Program number must be sent to the Corresponding Secretary on or before December 1, 1918, that they may reach the Executive Committee before the time set to arrange the program, otherwise they will not be printed. 2—All papers are limited to ten minutes. If your society is not in session, convene it. If no society, organize one. Help us to help our people. While the literary program will be the most important feature of the session, the social side of life will not be overlooked. For further information address MRS. W. W. CALDWELL, Corresponding Secretary, 1324 E. 24th, Kansas City, Mo. A WORTHY APPEAL. The National Race Congress of America at its last annual meeting, October 1, 2, 3, authorized that a Commission be sent to France at the earliest possible date to cheer and encourage our soldier boys over there and to contribute in whatever way they can to their comfort and welfare.

All checks or money orders for this purpose should be made payable to A. A. Graham, corresponding and financial secretary, who will promptly acknowledge with official receipt. The money should be sent to A. A. Graham, Box 177, Phoebus, Va., or Headquarters, 903 Third Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. In order to get the commission over there at an early date it should be in hand by December 1, 1918.

Citizens of Both Races Join in Royal Welcome to Colored Winner of the French Croix de Guerre—Reception Directed by Mayor Donnelly—Ring- ing Letter from Emmett J. Scott. people, including citizens of both races, of Trenton and the adjoining counties, joined in a monster home- coming reception last Wednesday night in honor of Private Needham Roberts, the Negro soldier hailing from Trenton, member of the 369th Infantry—the “Fighting Fifteenth” of New York—who so signally disting- uished himself in France some months ago by his -ravery and rare fighting qualities as to win the rrench Croix de Guerre and a personal citation for yalorous conduct from General Per- shing, Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces. It will ‘be remembered that Roberts, with a fellow-soldier in arms, Harry Johnson, put to rout twenty Germans, who attacked them while they were doing guard duty at one of the Allies’ most important strategic points on #rance’s western front. They thus saved the lives of thousands of their sleeping soldier comrades. ‘The re ception was general throughout s. ton and its environs, an an im promptu parade was one of the strik- ing features of the occasion, partici- pated in by the appreciative c..izens, regardless of race or color. At © big mass meeting, held in the State Armory, Hon. Frederick W. Don- nelly, Mayor of Trenton, through ‘whose earnest co-operation the recep. tion was conceived and made a bril liant success, presided and delivered a stirring address in which he lauded without stint the masterly courage ot ‘Trengon’s hero, A ringing letter was sent by Dr, Emmet J. Scott, Specia Assistant to the Secretary of War al Washington, who was prevented b: official business from being present Dr. Scott's letter was as follows: ‘An Appreciation from Emmett J. Scot War Department, Washington, D, C., Nov, 5, 1918 Hon, Frederick W. Donnelly, Mayor, City of Trenton, ‘Trenton, New Jersey. My dear Sir:—I note with pleasur that the people of ‘Trenton havi planned to hold a reception of city ‘wide proportions on Wednesday night at your suggestion, in honor of Pri vate Needham Roberts, who so proud ly distinguished himself on the battle front in France as to win the Croix d Guerre. I am further gratified tha you have done me the honor to in vite me to be present and participat in the exercises you have arrange for the occasion. It is with the deepest regret that must inform you that, owing to th tremendous pressure of official bus ness here in the War Department, a cumulate by reason of frequent an enforced absences from my desk fo the past few weeks, it is impossibl for me to be with you and to add i person my tribute to the general fun of praise which this New Jersey her has so richly earned, Although al sent, in Washington, my heart will b ‘with the liberty-loving citizens of Ne Jersey, and I shall rejoice with ther that the first of her sons to receiv the Croix de Guerre and the persons citation of General Pershing fo bravery of a most extraordinary type has been returned to you alive, eve if bearing the scars of the world-wid combat for freedom and democracy. To have had the opportunity to rex der this signal service at a crucia moment is in itself a reward and a honorable recognition, but the plauc its which you are reserving for Nee¢ ham Roberts Wednesday night place @ capstone upon his marvelou achievement that proves to him an to all of us that “Republics are no ungrateful” to those who brave dar gers for their preservation. Last Saturday night I was in Nev York, attending a meeting at Ca negie Hall—a monster meeting whic also testified its admiration of Nee¢ ‘ham ‘Roberts’ wonderful courage an rare resourcefulness as a fighter an a8 @ patriot. Irvin Cobb, whos hearty encomiums of the valor of th Negro soldiers on the western trop in France, known to him—not b hoaraay, Dut of whlch td was an or witness, has won the gratitude of co ored Americans - " gave t Needham erts a merited acknow. di of the nation’s indebtec , He said that the timely actio of this warrior, in riskin Bs death at oy of his felloy _/geuntzymen might live, entitled ei ? ee etatia oales vic lutionary struggle, and who thus helped to, lay the pees. firm whd deefiof tha, American ‘Republic —the gtantlest exbocent'of democracy in government that the world has ever ‘seen. You do well to honor Needham Rob- erts while he is yet in the flesh— while he is able to be inspired by your salvos of applause, The inspira- tion that you offer him goes out and beyond him to the 12,000,000 American Negroes, each of whom will be heart- ened by the generous words and pub- Ke-spirited appreciation of patriotic duty nobly performed, which apprect- ation you are to exhibit through your cordial reception Wednesday night, Wishing for the occasion the full est measure of success, | am Sincerely yours, EMMETT J. SCOTT. The speech of Roberts at the close of the exercises was a sturdy, but modest recital of the story of the dra- matic encounter which has made the Negro soldier a central figure in this war for world-wide democracy, Rob- erts has been at Lakewood Hospital for some time, convalescing from the wounds he received on the battle- field, and will now remain for an in- definite period at the home of his parents in this city.

Madame Dishman was formerly Miss Eliza Thompkins of this city, OUR NEGRO REPRESENTATIVE. The election of Dr. Wm. Riley of St. Louis as a member of the next General Assembly of Missouri marks an epoch in the history of the race in this state, and brings forcibly to the minds of the people of this grand old commonwealth the indisputable fact that the Negro is making progress and that the bitter and unreasonable pre- Judice of other days is slowly but surely passing, Although the “solid South” has always attempted to in- clude this state in its columns, Mis souri has invariably resented that im- putation and both prefers and insists that it be classed among the progres sive and patriotic states of the Na tion, and The Sun believes that Mis souri is preparing to take a high place in 1920 among the leading states of our country. The Sun congratulates Dr. Riley upon his election and prays that he make such a favorable im pression upon the electorate of Mis souri as well as upon the members o} the General Assembly as will influ ence both political parties in this state to give to the race that recog nition due for long, faithful and patri otic service.

STORIES of AMERICAN CITIES Recognized Chum in Robber Who Held Him Up O MAHA.—With a highwayman's pistol stuck into his face and his own hands above his head, Charles Gardner said: "Why, is that, you, Bill?" It was the robber's turn to look closely. "Hello, Chuck, that you?" he answered. He turned to his companions. Carthy are college mates at Creighton university. Marsh is also a student. Driving a roadster, McCarthy and Marsh went to Blair at midnight and held up the proprietor of a confectionery store. They got $38. Leaving Blair, according to McCarthy's statement, they ranged alongside a "flivver" driven by John Kruse, a farmer living near Florence. With Kruse was his brother, Ered. Kruse attempted to escape when he saw one of the robbers leaning from the roadster with a revolver in view, but well-directed shots punctured the rear tires of the Kruse machine. The farmers were forced to give up $4 and a watch. The next event and the fatal one of the three robberies was when the youthful bandits sighted the car in which Gardner and his friends were riding. They were bound on an early morning duck-shooting trip. Not noticing the five shotguns piled in the car, McCarthy, waving his revolver, ordered the huntsmen to stop. He lined the five alongside the road and was about to search the party when Gardner recognized him and said so. The hunters were allowed to leave unsearched. The arrests followed. Not a Desperado; Man Was Merely Absent Minded Not a Desperado; Man Was Merely Absent Minded CHICAGO.—A restless individual paced back and forth near Madison and LaSalle streets near midnight. His actions attracted the attention of a woman on an opposite corner. His apparent nervousness, coupled with the man was first on the scene. In hurried words the woman told all she had seen, pointing shakily to the innocent-looking handbag resting on the curbing. The watchman was cautious. Were the bomb fiends scattering explosives miscellaneously about the streets of Chicago? He must be careful. He decided to await the arrival of the city police. In due course of time the proper authority appeared in the person of Sergt. Fred Berger, policeman on special duty in the loop. Berger proved a courageous policeman. Taking his life in one hand and the satchel in the other, as it were, he carried the treacherous burden to the First precinct station. Nervously the cops gathered around as the bag was opened, to reveal: One kodak, value about $25. If the absent-minded party who lost this treasure will appear at the station he probably will be able to recover his property. How They Welcome Wounded Yanks in New York NEW YORK.—A sturdy hero of the Solssons drive, who doubtless has a long and useful life before him, held between his thumb and the one finger still remaining on his right hand a cigarette that he smoked enjoyingly. His below the knees. He progressed between a pair of crutches, but there was hope in those blue eyes and courage in his soul, the deathless memory of his deeds in France, to sustain through life his halting gait. The morale of the wounded youth is magnificent. There is no whimpering, no whining. Many of the wounded men had crossed from Brest to New York in the great Leviathan, fellow passengers of Mr. Kincheloe and his congressional party. They joyfully stamped the speaker on crutches and in dressing gowns to swap experiences and to display personal trophies of the war, and everybody joined in singing lustily "Good Morning, Mr. Zipp, Zipp." "Over There" and all the rest of the jolly choruses. And such pampered pets as these dear invalids are! A stream of private motor cars is constantly before the door, usually with a gentle chauffeurette at the wheel, to take the convalescents driving.

For long minutes she had been standing in front of a florist's window, with yearning eyes on the banked "Those are fifty cents." The woman studied them a long time. "They're powerful pretty," she murmured resignedly. The girl looked at her keenly. Perhaps it is because she loves people as well as flowers that she keeps fresh and sweet through long, hot days. "Yes, they are beautiful; but my favorites are not those blue flowers," she said brightly, pretending to have misunderstood to which flowers the woman referred. "I like these pink ones, at twenty cents, best." "Why, them's the ones I wanted," the woman exclaimed, and in spite of herself her voice trembled. "Till take one of them at twenty cents." The girl smiled as she wrapped the plant and watched her radiant customer go down the crowded street, the flower held close as something infinitely precious; and she was still smiling when she dropped thirty cents from her own pocket into the cash register. "Stuff's off, fellows," he announced. "Let this bunch go." Gardner and his four companions were allowed to proceed with their automobile. As the result of the midnight recognition between bandit and victim, William McCarthy, aged eighteen, and George Marsh, aged seventeen, are in the city jail and are said to have confessed to three robberies of which they are accused. Gardner and Mc- Carthy are college mates at Creighton. Driving a roadster, McCarthy and he held up the proprietor of a confectioner.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 16. 1918 Coats for the Depths of Winter THE WINTER WORLD Superb Plumage in Brilliant Hats THE HAT Fur fabrics have become so handsome and rich that they associate on equal terms with real skins. They do not suffer by this close comparison. Until the present year coats made of these fabrics were set off by collar and cuffs and bands of fur, but now we find the fabrics and fur dividing honors in the body of as brilliant garments as any, except those magnificent long wraps and cloaks of costly skins that are only the privilege of the very rich. The time may come when things as they will be reversed and the fur fabrics become a decoration for coats made of fur. Among the really impressive coats that have been brought out for midwinter wear, there are some very handsome models in which fur fabrics are so generously trimmed with fur that the effect is that of an all-fur garment. The picture at the head of this article portrays a coat of castor-colored plush which looks something like moleskin, but is more lustrous. It is straight hanging and has a wide girdle of the fabric, crushed about the figure below Superb Plumage i There are some hats that belong to middle life, or rather that do not belong to the youthful. They match up with the poles, and assurance in style, of matronly wearers who have cultivated the art of dressing. It is their privilege to clothe themselves with more brilliance than belongs to youth. Rich fur turbans and small hats and hats made of beautiful plumage are among those that look best on older women—youth is not the right background for them. The superb feathers from the peacock's neck and gorgeous tail, and other iridescent feathers, and those whose markings are marvels of nature's work, are used to cover shapes either quiet or spirited, for matronly wearers. The new all-feather hats are distinguished this season by wing and other trims that are in one with the hat. That is, the carefully placed plumage is simply extended into wing or crest or coronet that seems to grow from the hat as natural as the wings from a bird. These hats are suited to fall and winter wear. Only a few feather hats anticipate these seasons and these are all-white feather hats that often appear in August. The group of hats shown here is typical of the styles, a collection of four of the best that the season has brought to us. They include a tricorp entirely covered with feathers, a hat the waistline and fastened at the front with a large buckle. The very deep border at the bottom is made of three bands of skunk fur and there is a splendid collar of this becoming fur. Ample cuffs of it give character to the roomy sleeves. Although not in the same class with the highest priced all-fur coats, these combinations of furs and fabrics are not found to be inexpensive. But both plush of this kind and skunk fur are good investments. The skunk is among the most durable of furs and the plush will outwear it. Sport-Wear Scarfs. To replace the knitted and woven scarfs manufacturers are turning their attention to scarfs of velours materials, in bright colors, for sport wear. These are straight and have the popular pockets at the ends. For Cushions. The good parts of a discarded mattress may be used by cutting into squares, covering with cretonne or other cloth and using as chair and window seat cushions. in Brilliant Hats having a narrow brim draped with velvet and a very beautiful "pocahontas" band to towers to a considerable height at the back, a plain turban and one with a very narrow brim. This one is covered with plain, tan-colored feathers at the side. Short, double wings are extended from the crown, at each side. The feathers that are used on these hats show bronze and vivid green—the predominating colors. They are contrasted with tan, brown, black, gray, and there are innumerable tints that shift about as the light plays on them. But no one can describe adequately the markings or colorings of a beautiful feather. They are more wonderful than flowers. Julia Bottomley Banda Galore. Bands, bands, bands—the new dresses have as many as a three-ringed circus. There are bands of fur on both bodices and skirts. Theres are bands of velours de laine—white on a black velvet skirt, for instance—of which Jenny is particularly fond. Strips of fuzzy looking angora diversify jersey frocks, and so on da capo. Sometimes, too, there is a double bill playing; and between bands you will see introduced rows of fringe. SHIPS IN CONSTANT PERIL Sailing Without Lights, Navigators Can Only Rely on Quirkness of Perception and Professional 'Nerve.' Even if the Huns are escaped, the life of a merchant ship man in these days is far removed from beer and skittles. An example of what they have to go through is furnished by the narrow squeak the Empress of Britain and the Cardiganshire had one night in the Aegean sea, Ralph E. Cropley writes in the Atlantic. Both are big ships, and they were loaded with troops and going at full speed—zigzagging—not a light showing. It was one of those nights when you can hardly see your hand before you. There were no stars, no phosphorous—nothing—nothing but to trust to luck and the ears of the man on the bridge. The captain of one of the ships has told me that, before he knew it, there was a ship, bow on him, dead ahead. Of course the first impulse was to shift his helm; but if he did so, the danger would be of one ship giving the other a glancing blow. Fortunately, the other skipper appreciated this also. Their nerve, in spite of several years of war-zone work, was still equal to the occasion. It all happened in the twinkling of an eye, and they passed safely though there had been less than 50-feet separating the ships, and their outswung lifeboats nearly scraped. The captain of the Cardiganshire, though he could not see him, heard the captain of the Empress of Britain above the noises of the sea—heard him yell: "For God's sake, old man, don't shift your helm!" so close were they on their respective bridges high above the sea. Instances of this kind, which try men's souls, nightly occur, and quite frequently there are collisions and tragedies in the pitch dark. The only way that the two ships identified themselves was ten days later, at Salonikl, when the captain of the Cardl-ganshire heard the skipper of the Empress of Britain asking a friend if he knew what ship he nearly bumped on a certain night. I am sorry to report that the captain of the Empress of Britain lost his life in the Hallfax explosion while doing hospital work. Small Economies, Big Results. In England every passenger on the street cars and omnibuses receives a small ticket in receipt for his fare. By simply reducing the size of the ticket by half an inch the London county council reports a saving of 100 tons of pulp per annum. A thread manufacturer in Great Britain reports a saving of 150 tons of pulp per annum by affixing but one tiny label on the end of the spool of thread in place of one at each end as formerly the practice. The question of senseless waste of paper in the matter of handbills was dealt with and it was estimated that more than 1,000 tons of pulp were absolute waste in this connection since more than half the handbills were a mere litter in the streets and on front porches, and never read. By making railroad tickets half the thickness England has saved 400 tons of pulp. By using postcards instead of paper and envelopes the numerous societies and organizations in Great Britain have saved 600 tons of pulp a year. Night Photographs From Airplane. An Italian invention which permits photographs being taken at night has been submitted to the signal corps of the United States army. According to the men who control the new device it will soon be possible to take excellent pictures of enemy positions from airplanes flying at a low height on moonlight nights. It is also claimed that the invention can be fitted to motion-picture cameras, which would permit the photographing for the screen of much of the fighting in the air, the greater part of which takes place in the early morning hours. Up to the present time the chief obstacles met by the daylight aerial photographers is that the anti-aircraft guns force the flyers to take pictures from a great height, and much of the detail of the enemy lines is therefore lost. It is held, continues Aviation, that flyers are in little danger from artillery when flying at night.—Scientific American. Crime Conditions in Germany Criminality in Germany augments without cessation. To quote Socialist Mehring before the rechstag, lying, theft and swindling are not offset by military glories. The Bishop of Metz in his London pastoral speaks of immorality, theft and unbridled license. In Berlin in the fall of 1916 there was an average of 300 daily complaints of theft. The insecurity on the public thoroughfares is great. There are 3,000 criminals whose terms at hard labor have expired who are at large, banned alike from the public and private employ. In the Dusseldorf district in the first half of 1917 5,000 adolescents were convicted of crime, and various buildings have had to be converted into workhouses and places of detention for these persons.—La Presse Medicale. Couldn't Recall It. Before sentencing the prisoner the judge read a long record of his criminal misdouglas, dating from early youth. Then the prisoner asked: "May I inquire your lordship's name?" "What do you want to know my name for?" sternly asked the judge. "Well," replied the prisoner, "since your ordship so accurately described my early life, I can't but conclude that you and I have been friends at some time. I fall to recall you at the moment, though."—Stray Stories. NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Showing That Sometimes the Late Bird "Gets His" WASHINGTON.—Yes, the early bird catches the worm. But the late bird sometimes catches it, too; especially if he stays up late enough. The matin hours have been sung through history, but no one has laid much stress upon the value of the analogous hours at the other end of the day. even if messengers are supposed to know no hours. The boys were counting their day's earnings. One little fellow displayed $15, and another told how he was making $150 a month easy as rolling off a log, he said. How to spend it all was the problem. Some favored going over to "de hotel" and blowing several dollars in for a real feed, while others thought of the theaters, only to recall that the theaters are closed on account of the Spanish influenza.

"Washington, as far as necessary public buildings are concerned, was always about as much unprepared for peace as she has been shown to be unprepared for war. And now that influenza has spread, conditions have become unbearable." I have always thought that the crafty bird which would sit out on the limb after his fellows had sought their downy nests would probably catch more worms than if he had beat the bugle. Birds and men—it is all the same. Messenger boys were gathered in a room at one of the local telegraph offices the other night.

The presence of a Hun observation balloon in the air is now a very uncommon sight, for the instant the "sausage" appears the royal air force "cooks" climb into the cockpits of their machines and are in the air, each striving to be the first to account for the interloper. One British pilot scouting behind the enemy's lines pounced on two of these balloons in swift succession and succeeded in setting fire to and destroying both. His petrol was beginning to run low at the time, so he returned to his airdrome to refill. But his appetite for German "sausage" was apparently unslaked, for he set out immediately upon a second quest, sighted two more balloons, and, taking advantage of friendly clouds carefully stalked them. When within a short distance of his prey cloud cover failed him and he was perceived. The Huns rushed to the winches and endeavored to haul down both balloons. Putting down the nose of his machine, the British pilot sped earthward after the swaying mass of fabric, and almost before the German mechanics had their winches working, the hunter had secured his first quarry, which fell a blazing mass upon the Huns beneath. The other balloon was rather farther away, and the Germans, stimulated to frantic efforts by the fate of the first, hauled desperately and succeeded in getting it down almost to the ground before the British pilot arrived above. Not to be balked of his prey, and in spite of the furious fire from below, he dived low enough to pump a burst of incendiary bullets, and had the satisfaction of increasing his bag for the day to four enemy balloons totally destroyed. During their present retirement the Germans have made desperate efforts to remove as much ammunition as possible. A British pilot spotted a train of wagons engaged on this work and descended to 50 feet so as to make quite sure of his aim. Getting well into position, he opened fire on the rear wagon, knocking out two men on the box. Deprived of their drivers and terrified by the winged assailant, the horses bolted, and, colliding with a tree, upset the wagon. An extremely heavy fire was by this time being directed upon the airman, and had already wounded him in the knee and severed the pressure feed pipe of his machine. He would not leave his job half done, however, and again maneuvering into position put in another burst which resulted in the overturning of two more and the stampeding of the remaining wagons. On the same day a British machine working in conjunction with the infantry was attacked by four German scouts. This being about the odds which German airmen now demand, they doubtless thought they had found an easy prey. It is, of course, true that the British contact machine is not primarily designed for fighting purposes, but its pilot on this occasion, as always, was ready to give a good account of himself, and did so to such purpose that one of the attackers was speedily sent down out of control. During the fight the petrol tank of the British machine was pierced, being an instant menace of its destruction by fire. Thereupon the English observer promptly climbed out on the lower plane and successfully plugged the hole with his handkerchief, remaining on the plane until his pilot succeeded in throwing off his pursuers and landing his machine safely behind the British lines.

I still often overhear knots of men who in their talk about the war refer to the Kay-ser, and the utter anglistization of French battle names by public house military experts is perhaps the most charming feature of their discussions; but "camouflage" remains as French in sound in this country 'as in its own, and every one uses it. Here, however, it has become so elastic as to be the recognized form for any kind of pretense whatsoever. I am not sure that Sir Walter Raleigh should not have added "camouflage" in his list of our "gains in the war" as enumerated in his recent lecture. I have been astonished recently by examples of the hold of "camouflage" on all types of mind. Journeying the other day from a Sussex station to London, under war conditions—fifty of us standing all the way in the guard's van—I had some talk with the guard, who, on removing his cap to wipe a heated brow, revealed himself as bald as the dome of St. Paul's.

The Germans, resenting their attentions, turned two guns on to their balloon and made some rather good practice, holing it badly. This annoyed the English balloon officers considerably and they decided that the German gunners needed punishment. They accordingly called up the officers in charge of a British six-inch gun and indicated to him the position of the German guns. The balloon was now rapidly losing height as the result of enemy fire, and the position of the officers was dangerous. However, they stuck to their basket and continued to direct the fire of the British gun, having the satisfaction of witnessing the putting out of action of one of the hostile guns before the balloon had sunk too low for further observation.

The cook told me that if I would get enough gooseberries to make two pies he would make them. So I started out to look for gooseberries and found them. I asked an old French woman to sell me some, and, don't you know, she said they were no good and I had to laugh. She would not sell me any, but gave me all I could carry away and they were big ones, about the size of my thumb. So I had a pie all to myself."

One gentleman even goes so far as to say that I asked for the information; whereas no one has any idea how careful I was to do nothing of the kind, having a head only too full of devastating memories of the Hindustani word "Wilayati." or "Balait," meaning foreign or English, and its gradual transformation by Mr. Atkins in India into the now familiar (and very ugly) term for home. "Blighty's" adventures are ancient history, but it was new to me that, as a reader kindly points out, "padre,' in its meaning of clergyman, was carried to India by the Portuguese and adopted into Indian languages long before the first English chaplain set foot in India. Like other Hindustani words used in our army, such as 'rooty' for bread and 'dixie' for camp kettle, it was brought home by our soldiers from India many years ago." In my strictures on the word "Hun" I was too sweeping. I said that to borrow the name of invaders of the past with which to stigmatize invaders of the present was tame. But another correspondent reminds me that it was the kaiser himself who first applied the term. In the time of the Boxer rebellion in China the kaiser issued a bombastic proclamation to the German contingent in Pekin under 'Count Waldersee bidding them to behave like the Huns of Attila. This gentleman goes on to make the very interesting suggestion that some lexicographers should collect the words which each of our great wars has added to the language.—E. V. Lucas in the Sphere. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV, P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1918) Eastern Newspaper Union LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 17 JACOB FLEEING FROM HIS ANGRY BROTHER. LESSON TEXT - Genesis 28/10-22 LESSON TEXT-Genesis 28:10-22. GOLDEN TEXT-He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities-Psalms 103:10. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL-Genesis 27:46-28:9. The motive which moved Rebekah to send Jacob away was a mixed one. She realized that Esau's anger was not against Jacob, even to the point where he was likely to kill him. She further knew that justice would have to be meted out to him, and thus she would be bereft of them both. Then, too, she realized that if Jacob remained in that land he would likely marry a heathen woman and thus defeat God's purpose regarding the covenant nation. This latter she pressed upon Isaac as a motive for sending him away. He was fleeing from his outraged brother. His flight was necessary to save his life. He seems not to have gone the common road, so as to be less likely overtaken by Esau, should he pursue him. Through forced march he reaches Bethel, a spot nearly fifty miles away, by nightfall. II. Jacob's Vision (vv. 11-17). Jacob's soul was peculiarly tested. He had to leave home and mother. On the way to Haran night overtakes him, and he is obliged to sleep in a field with a stone for his pillow and the canopy of heaven for a covering. It was under such circumstances that the Lord gave him the wonderful vision at Bethel. Many times the rough experiences and severe trials of life help us on toward God. Luxury and heavenly visions do not usually go together. This finds illustration in John on Patmos; Stephen looking into heaven while being stoned, and John Bunyan in Bedford jail. 1. He saw a ladder reaching from earth to heaven (v. 12). This suggests a means of communication between earth and heaven, between man and God. It showed Jacob that in spite of his awful sin there was a way to heaven for him. Jesus Christ is the ladder connecting earth and heaven for us (John 1:51; 14:3; Hebrews 10:19, 20). In the incarnation Jesus Christ descended to earth's lowest depth and made a way upon which human feet might climb to heaven. Fortunate are they who in the times of earth's trials discern this ladder! 2. He saw angels of God upon the ladder (v. 12). They were ascending and descending upon this ladder. These angels were the divine helpers to render needed assistance along life's way. Though unseen, God's angels guide and protect us on our earthly pilgrimage. They ascend unto the Father with our needs, and descend unto us with God's reply. Christ is a real man, and so can identify himself with us; he is the very God, really divine, and so is able to lift us to God and secure our reconciliation with him. 3. He saw the Lord standing above the ladder (vy, 13-17). To show Jacob that the ladder did not merely reach into space, the personal God appeared and talked with him. His message is filled with infinite grace. (1) He declared the God of Abraham and Isaac (v. 13), thus assuring Jacob that the same hand that guided his fathers was over him. (2) He renewed the covenant as to the land (v. 13). Though Jacob was now fleeing from the land, yet the covenant would not fall, for Jacob and his seed should possess it. (3) Assured him of a numerous seed (v. 14). They would spread abroad to the north, and south, and east, and west. (4) The divine presence with the wandering Jacob (v. 15). Though he had sinned and was reaping what he had sown, yet God was with him. III. Jacob's Vow (vv. 18-22). God's gracious visitation provoked Jacob to make a vow. Each sight of God should cause us to renew our obligation to him. His vow included three things: (1) Dedication of himself to God (v. 12). This is the first thing to do. Our gifts are an abomination while the life is withheld from God. (2) Worship established (vv. 18, 19). "This stone shall be God's house." Worship always follows dedication of one's self to God. There is personal communion between God and those who worship him. (3) Consecration of his substance, of his possessions (v. 22). Those who have fellowship with God recognize God's claim upon their possessions. God's grace should constrain us to give of our substance to him. Meditation. Meditation is one way of handling the Gospel history. Instead of a vague, half-remembered, less than half-comprehended, story, the life of Jesus, steadily meditated on, passes into the life of the Christian, by an insensible but real transfusion.—Rev. H. P. Liddon, D. D. A Spiritual Relation True friendship is a spiritual relation. God reveals himself to us in many ways through our different friends—E. V. H. "Oldest City in the World" C WHEN General Allenby and his victorious army captured Damascus from the Turks, they took what is called the "oldest city in the world." The claim is based upon frequent mention in the Old Testament—where it is referred to, by various names that serve to identify it, and in the New Testament. Josephus affirms that it was founded by Uz, the son of Aram, who gave to the region the name of Syria, which it has retained to this day. Damascus was a flourishing trade center in Abraham's time. One of the earliest "novels" in all literature (equally so whether true or fanciful) is the story of the Jewish maid taken captive by Naaman, a Syrian general (II Kings). Naaman was a leper, but the captive suggested getting the advice of a prophet at Samaria. He did so, but when told to bathe in the Jordan he was vexed, saying that plenty of water existed nearer home. However, he did go to the Jordan and was cleansed. Good story. If you doubt it, the next time you visit Damascus any of the old inhabitants will point out Naanam's house. Elisha figures in the early history of Damascus, Ben-hadad (946 B. C., at a guess), a king of Damascus, was murdered, and the assassin improved conditions so greatly that king killing became popular. The king of Judea resented the success of the upstart monarch and, with help from the ruler of Assyria, took the city and killed its ruler. This made good a prediction of Isaiah. The early prophets appear to have "had it in" for the people at Damascus; they spent a great deal of time in prophesying ill of that city. And, bad cess to their activities, most of their predictions came true. The city was under the sway of Assyria for nearly 1,000 years—a mere episode in its history. Its people first awakened when the Romans under Pompey moved in, about 64 B. C. Herod had controversies with the Syrian rulers in which he came off best. Made Familiar by St. Paul. It is in New Testament times that one seems to be brought into most intimate touch with Damascus. The memorable journey of St. Paul to the city of Jerusalem, and all that happened during and after it; the "street which is called Straight;" the house of Judas; the visit of Ananias; the subsequent preaching of St. Paul in the synagogues; the plots to kill him, and his escape from the city by night, are all names and incidents familiar to Christians the world over. It was to Damascus, too, that St. Paul returned after his three years' sojourn in the wilderness, and in no other period in its long history does the ancient city on the banks of the Abana seem to come so clearly into view. Later on, under Trujan, Damascus became a Roman provincial city, and, on the establishment of Christianity, the seat of a bishop, who ranked next in authority after the patriarch of Antioch. Even when this point is reached, a wealth of history still lies ahead: There is the great story of Damascus under the kalifis, and of its many trials which followed the removal of the kalifate to Bagdad; of the coming of the Egyptians, the Carmathians, and the Seljuks; of the campaigns and mighty conquests of the Saludin; of the ravages of the Mongols, and of the final inclusion of Damascus within the Ottoman empire, early in the sixteenth century, followed by a long 400 years of stagnation. Beautiful. From a Distance. the modern Damascus, like the Damascus of all the ages, is, in its distant view, as are many Eastern cities, a place of great beauty. It lies at the northern edge of the plain of Ghutah, at the foot of the Anti-Lebanon, 2,250 feet above the sea, and all around, for a circuit of 60 miles, extend the famous orchards, gardens, vineyards, and fields of Damascus, which have always made its fertility proverbial throughout the East. The Arabs regard it as one of their four earthly paradises. Close at hand, the city is not so beautiful. The rough mud walls of the houses contrast strangely with the splendors within, for the houses of Damascus, with their mosales and carved wood, and their cellings rich in arabesque ornaments, elaborately gilded, are amongst the most beautiful in the East. The hazaars, however, are the great feature of Damascus. The masses of color and the wonderful effects of light and shadow which they present have made them the delight of painters. As one writer has described such a scene, here are displayed all the riches of the Orient; rare carpets and rugs from Persia, and shawls, scarfs and kerkchiefs of every dye from the far interior of Asia, with gold and silver embroideries in exquisite taste or of barbaric splendor. There is no pavement, but the ground is hard from the tread of many feet, for a motive throng is ever passing to and fro, of turbaned men and of women closely veiled; a musician playing his tambourine, and cavaliers or a train of camels slowly filing through. The long streets are dim and cool, being arched in high above, and through apertures the sunlight falls in misty streams on the gorgeous wares and moving multitudes beneath. Then, the old city walls are still there; and the Roman gateways; and the Derb el Mistaklm, or the "street which is called Straight," still runs through the city, from the eastern to the western gate, as it did nineteen hundred years ago, in the days of St. Paul. Relics in England. A few years ago there was sold by auction the spear that was used by a rebel dervish to kill General Gordon. The relic ultimately fetched 30 guineas. On another occasion the sword used by Lord Cardigan in the battle of Balaclava was disposed of at the same auction mart for $8\frac{1}{2}$ guineas. A very different war relic realized a very different price. This was the silver-gilt table service used by Napoleon in the course of his many campaigns and it went for £650—London Tit-Bits.

ORIGINAL In memory of Rev. G. W. Boyd ship Baptist Church, composed by Street, Kansas City, Mo. ORIGINAL POEM. In memory of Rev. G. W. Boyd, the faithful pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church, composed by Mrs. Lula Woods, 1415 East 22d Street, Kansas City, Mo. God in His own appointed time Has taken thee from our midst; Hearts wrecked with sorrow, helpless we stand, Yet we should not desist. The Trinity does all things well; His law must be obeyed. He rides the seas, He stills the storm, And the death sleeps He sways. Oh, we miss you as "our leader," Of that Heavenly Host we'd be, Gone from us, you've crossed the Jordan, And the Heavenly things you see. [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. Your sick room a beautiful picture, From some memories will ne'er fade The sweet lessons taught by your for others, Will follow them to their graves. How you suffered, God knows, others likewise, But you fought the fight, finished the faith, And in your own sweet countenance Said, "Lord in me abide." We, like you, must pay the debt, When we have drunk our cup of sorrow For the death scythe is everywhere, God only knows who'll follow. It's wrong in us to wish you back, More sufferings to undergo, With God we leave you at His feet Where sufferings are no more. With your earthly sorrow you had your earthly God let you leave in this life two manly boys One like yourself, a leader of hosts, The other God's way, "Somewhere in Fran- at at his post. With your earthly sorrow you had your earthly joys God let you leave in this life two manly boys— One like yourself, a leader of hosts, The other God's way, "Somewhere in France" at his post. Your faithful ones did all they could To try to keep you here, But the "great physician" had to come, Hence you have left us here. I, with the band you left behind, Shall fight to meet you there. Where friends and families are united, And can pray Hossanna pravers. BISHOP DEMBY AT ST. AUGUSTINE'S. November 24, at the Mid-day pal Church, the Rt. Rev.
