HURSE, D. D., One of the most prominent Baptists as well as Race Leaders in this Country All Railway Train Porters are hereby requested to meet without fail; Tuesday, November 26, at the Y. M. C. A., at 2 p. m. Business of importance. Among the potent factors in the religious, political and business world in greater Kansas City, no man stands out with more force and unchanging popularity than does the Rev. J. W. Hurse, D. D., the esteemed pastor of St. Stephen's Baptist church, and the owner and representative of Mackey's Wonderful Liniment that has wrought some marvelous cures according to the testimony of reliable persons in the past year. According to these people Dr. Hurse is doing some wonderful healing that borders on the divine because he believes that prayer, the power of God and the proper medicines will heal any disease. He sells great quantities of the famous Mackey's Liniment at his laboratory daily and people both at home and abroad are singing its praises. During Mr. Hurse's recent visit in the Southland he appointed as his agent at Memphis, Tenn., Mr. C. W. Logan, deacon and clerk of one of the most prominent Baptist churches in that great city and has received from Mr. Logan the following voluntary testimonial from prominent and well known people of that city. Dear Sir: I have used only one bottle of the Mackey's Liniment during the illness with the Influenza Disease and I must say that it brought her safely. MR. and Mrs. NEWTON McGHEE, 1340 Barber Ave., Memphis, Tenn Dear Agent: I had been suffering 8 months with my back and nothing gave any ease, but the Mackey's Liniment. I am sure I will keep it in my home at all. Dear Agent: I recommend the Mackey Lemore to be a new life to all those who use it. DEACON ROYE COCHRELL 585 So. Wellington. Dear Agent: I must say that the Mackey's Liniment obtains me to be present in every home, most especially where there is a woman. The Liniment helped me so much for the appendicitis. Kindly send me another bottle as I am sure I can never do without it. MRS. LOVEY JONES, 341 Cambridge Ave. Dear Agent: I have used the Mackey's Liniment and reaffirm that it will do just what it is recommended. Liniment received and everywhere it has been used it has proven satisfactory. Your Liniment is so wonderful that I cannot bear your agonism this day. Kindly let me know your terms at once. Rev. Harris and wife, who have been seriously ill with influenza and which later developed into pneumonia, used your Liniment and now able to be out again. Enclosed find postoffice order for a bottle of your wonderful Liniment. MRS. E. J. CARSON, 344 Vermejo Ave., Raton, N. Mex. This medicine is especially beneficial to women and will positively cure many of the ailments to which women are subject as well as give instant relief from pain. A consultation with Dr. Hurse will help you wonderfully and he will frankly tell you just what you should do. Dr. Hurse has accommodations at his palatial and modern home, 12th, and Michigan avenue, for a number of people and out-of-town visitors can find no better nor more luxurious apartments anywhere in this city. The Reverend is a prominent member of the National Baptist Convention (unincorporated) which has been called by the Southern Baptist Convention (white) to meet the National Baptist Peace Convention to be held in Nashville, Tenn., December 12, and the Sun predicts that Dr. Hurse will be one of the foremost figures in that notable gathering of the greatest white and Colored Baptists in America. At present Dr. Hurse is personally conducting a great revival at St. Stephen's church and on the first night of his revival four persons were happily converted and great crowds are flocking to hear him nightly. The meeting will continue throughout next week. Many persons wonder why the Sun is continually singing the praises of Dr. J. W. Hurse but to those who know real men and appreciate real merit who admire men who will stand up for their race, equal justice and fair treatment on all occasions must concede whatever their prejudices that these sterling qualities are fully epitomized in the stalwart personality of Dr. J. W. Hurse. Any member of the race, however humble, is welcome to his office and advice at all times. And in trouble, in sorrow, or distress, no truer friend can be found than the Rev. J. W. Hurse. TICE! rs are hereby requested to meet ber 26, at the Y. M. C. A., at 2 COMMITTEE. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1918. WESTERN UNIVERSITY. After a quarantine of four weeks our school is again in full operation. There were no cases of influenza among our students. Sergeant Sanders, formerly a student of this institution and now stationed at Camp Dodge, attended our chapel exercises last week and spoke interestingly to the students. Prof. Perry L. Jacobs, teacher of Agriculture and football coach, left last Monday for Camp Taylor, where he has been appointed to duty as "Y" secretary. Though we regretted very much to lose Prof. Jacobs, we are glad to know that he is to enter a field of such usefulness and he carries the best wishes of faculty and students. The Rev, J. C. C. Owens, D.D., one of our trustees, was pastoring at Leavenworth, was a visitor Tuesday. Prof. A. H. Jones of the Theological Department offered a prize of one dollar to the first of our boys to carry the pigskin over Liberty's goal. Wilson Green was the happy recipient. Mrs. Minnie Robertson gave a pie to each member of the team. The first of our monthly rhetoricals was held last Friday evening in the auditorium of the Studio Building. The attendance was large and the program exceedingly well rendered. These programs will be given on the first Friday evening of each month and it is the hope of the University that we may have a goodly attendance from the community and the Kansas Cities. To the delightful surprise of the participants, Prof. Crews, our enthusiastic and beloved director, evidenced his appreciation of the creditable performance of the participants, entertaining them at an informal luncheon Sunday afternoon in the dining room of Ward Hall, those present being Misses Lillian Hatcher, Etta G. Mo ten, Beatrice Johnson, Amanda Estes Novella Patton, Mineola Garland Christina Gudgell, Ollie Garrett, Kath erine McCoy, Rosetta Rentzie and Beu lah Strickland. Western U., 7; Liberty A. C., 6. After a four weeks' postponement Western University finally opened its 1918 football season on Friday, November 8, by defeating the strong Liberty A. C. eleven by a score of 7 to 6 in Liberty, Mo. Western won the toss and received the kickoff. On the first down, Bruner, the big Western fullback, punted. Liberty then made a forward pass for thirty yards, and before the Blue and Gold eleven could settle down, Liberty crossed its goal by a series of line plunges and end runs for the first touchdown. Liberty failed to kick goal. In the second quarter, Liberty threatened to score again, but Western's strong backfield successfully warded off all attacks. In the third quarter Western assumed the offensive, but could not score. The fourth quarter opened with both teams fighting desperately. With but four minutes of play left, Liberty attempted a forward pass, but Wilson Green intercepted it and dashed across Liberty's goal, tying the score. George Bruner then kicked a goal, which gave the game to Western University by a score of 7 to 6. Bryant NO.

The world's greatest female evangelist whom the editor had the pleasure of hearing last Sunday night at Hannibal, Mo., where she was called from her home in Philadelphia on account of the death of her sister, and during her week's stay was prevailed upon by Dr. Brooks to conduct a series of meetings which were attended by immense crowds. She possesses the same wonderful Biblical knowledge, same power of oratory and the same matchless singing that puts her at the head of the Evangelists of the Race. She says she will come to Kansas City next February. MUSICAL BENEFIT. Owing to the ban having been put on all public places of meeting in Kansas City because of the influenza epidemic for the past two months, our church has received quite a set back. Now that the ban is lifted let each and every one of us rally to the assistance of each other as joyfully as we did to the demonstration of the announcement of Peace on November 11. We are earnestly asking all to come to the Second Baptist Church, 10th and Charlotte streets, on the evening of December 2 to attend a grand musical given by Mrs. Jessie Smith for the benefit of the pipe organ. Watch this space for the program next week. FARMERS' SCHOOL AND CONFERENCE. The Sunflower State Agricultural Association will hold the Farmers' School and Conference November 23d to 29th at the Industrial and Educational Institute, Topeka, Kas. Prof. G. R. Bridgeforth is president, J. G. Groves, treasurer; Arthur Emery, secretary, and F. W. Kirk, director, assisted by G. W. Morris. The Farmers' School is to accommodate men, women, boys and girls who are unable to leave home during the buy season, but who would like to avail themselves of the knowledge of practical farm and home problems to which this conference is exclusively devoted.

Some Facts in the Case of One Bello, Alleged Rapist, Five year old Frances Campbell was led into tall weeds at 25th and Vine streets, where an assault was attempted by Joseph Bello, an Italian huckster, on August 20, 1918. The assault was frustrated by the interruption of two women, one of whom beat him and held him until teh police arrived and went to the station and put in the complaint. At the preliminary hearing last Tuesday, Justice Dougherty, attended by many public spirited women and men and at which the race was ably represented by Hon. C. H. Calloway, in spite of the clear recital of facts by little Frances and the witnesses, the judge took the case under advisement. In the interest of justice to the race, shall we sit idly by, in no way assisting in bringing to justice fiends of this type? The Sun ventures the prediction that had the nationality of the principal characters been reversed the man would never have lived to reach court. If money is needed or counsel, in the language of the immortal Lincoln, let us give "to the last measure of devotion" that justice shall not perish to the earth. The Sun is reliably informed that the prosecutor's office is vigorously pushing this case and insisting that justice be meted out to this man and the 40,000 Negroes of Greater Kansas City will anxiously and closely watch the final termination of this atrocious crime.

"What do we live for if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?" George L. Alexander left the city last week for the government powder plant at Nitro, W. Va. Corporal Lee L. Parker of Company H, 24th Infantry, a former Helena boy, now stationed at Columbus, N. Mex. while reading the Helena notes, saw the name and address of one of his Helena friends, Miss Kate P.

He sends his regards to his former Helena friends and hopes some day to see them all again. Mrs. Callie Bramwell and Mrs. Little Smith have been on the sick list. Mrs. J. A.

Ingram has recovered from a spell of sickness The fraternal organizations of the city are doing more or less work among their members, in spite of present conditions in the city. The closing order and ban upon holding meetings have not prevented certain financial and other work being promoted. The churches seem to suffer more than other organizations from the effects of the epidemic. This should not be. Some plan might be developed by the members whereby certain work would be continued and thus, to some extent, hold down accumulating expenses. James Reynolds is n omore. That is to say, he has left Helena, and we will not see his effervescent, ebullient and sunny smile soon again. Reynolds was a well known character about town, better known as "Sunny Jim." Never harming anyone but himself, he saw to it that his self-inflicted punishment was the rule. "Sunny Jim" is now at Nitro, West Virginia; working for the Government. We wish him the best o' luck and a changed condition. May he make good. Nous verrons. Mrs. Jefferson Harrison, who was rapidly recovering from an attack of the "flu," had a relapse last week. At this writing she is out of danger. We had word that our old friend, Wesley Cottles, at Big Sandy, successfully tackled the "flu." Rumor is persistent and also insistent that a certain popular young Helena maiden is likely soon, very soon, to change her name, owing to the fact that Butte has a 20th century chevalier in whom she has discovered her affinity.

Supply Co., 65th Pioneer Inf., Camp Funston, Kans., Nov. 19, 1918. Kansas City Sun. Mr. Editor: Dear Sir:—Just a line about the K.C. boys that are still in Camp Funston. Sergt. Clarence Black is still in charge of the 10th Co., 7th Reg. and is still making good. Sergt. A, L. Countee is in charge of the 9th Co., 7th Reg., having just returned from a week-end trip to K.C. to visit with relatives and has assured all the boys that the folks at home JOSEPHINE ABERNATHY. Have entered into a partnership to handle Real Estate, doing a General Rental and Sales Business and to Sell Flowers. are still backing up the boys in service. Sergt. Frank B. Meyers has been promoted from Sergeant to Regimental Supply Sergeant of the 65th Pioneer Infantry and has charge of buying all the food for the Regiment which is not an easy task. Sergt. LeRoy King is supplying the boys with plenty of good eats. He is in charge of the 7th Regiment mess. The boys of the 7th Regiment and the 65th Infantry Regiment contributed several hundred dollars to the United War Campaign Fund which was highly praised by their officers. The boys who visit Kansas City are very much disappointed to not find a community house for them as the white boys have. It seems our people were a little negligent on a place like that. We want to thank the editor for the courtesy he has shown our boys through his paper and only hope to find more of the papers in the Y. M. C. A. camps. THE KANSAS CITY BOYS.

Beginning its campaign Monday, November 11th, and closing Sunday, November 17th, the students and fac- ulty of Lincoln Institute raised for the United War Work Campaign, $608.42, and have still in unpaid subscriptions, $303.20. Realizing that they could work only on the school grounds, owing to the quarantine, and being deprived of many students because of this, the Campaign Committee, which consists of Mrs. Clement Richardson, wife of the President, and Mr. Woody B. Jacobs, head of the Department of Education, set the sum of $500 as a fair quota for the school to raise. Classes were pitted against each other and various forms of entertain- ments were given to raise the fund. On Monday the Senior High school class gave a “Mock Faculty Meeting.” Tuesday was the birthday of litle Evelyn Richardson, the baby doughter of President and Mrs. Richardson. A birthday party was given and the gifts were silver offerings, which was turn- ed into the War Campaign Fund. On circulating ice water, local and long distance phones in each room; every room an outside room, due to two spa- cious courts; steam laundry, electric passenger and freight elevators, audi- torium, and pneumatic carriers. ‘Thirty-one private rooms for sham- ‘Tuesday evening the Sophomore High school class entertained with a musi: cale. Wednesday was “Tag Day,” which, under the direction of Miss Letitia B, Williams, who is in charge of the drawing and writing, netted the fund $10.05. On Wednesday night the Junior High school class gaye a play, “The Bachelor's Dream.” On Thurs: day afternoon the Freshman High | school class gave an indor athletic meet. On Thursday night was given an all-star concert, by three members of the faculty, Miss Henrietta John- son, representing the Department of Violin, Band and Orchestra music; Miss Beatrice Lee, representing the Vocal and Instrumental Music de- partment, and Miss Ethel Robinson, the secretary of the school, gave read- ings. On Friday evening the students’ dining hall was cleared and teachers and students assembled for an old- time barn party. All dressed as rustic lads and lassies and men and women of the farm, Saturday saw every one renewing his efforts to reach the goal of $500 and the various classes en- gaging in the sharpest competition to vin the prizes offered by the Presi- dent and the Committee. A chicken dinner was served at noon from which over $30 were cleared, and refresh- ments sold at the football game, as at various other occasions during the week. Saturday night saw the close of the entertainments, when the Jun- ior Normal class kept the whole school laughing with a yaudeville en- tertainment. Schol was in regular session during the day, but at meal hours and other off times all kinds of methods were used to raise the funds. The Senior High class put up a booth and told fortunes, The Senior Normal class erected a temporary “Dew Drop Inn” and sold refreshments, The children of the Model School sold candy. To make sure of good sales the Boarding Department served nothing sweet dur- ‘ing the week. The kitchen force, un- der the management of Mrs, Luvenia C. Green, cleared $10 on pies in two days, *Keen as was the rivalry among the classes, no one dreamed that it would be as close as it proved to be when the classes made their final report on Sunday morning. ‘Three classes re- ported their complete subscription within one hour, each class going be- yond what it had promised to give. ‘The following sums will give an idea of how hard the classes worked dur- ing the six days of the campaign: ‘The Senior Normal class of eleven students raised and paid in within the week $63.20, which was $3.20 more than it subscribed. The Junior Nor mal class of nineteen students raised ‘and paid in $85, which was $26 more than it promised.

SOCIATION OF KANSAS AND THE WEST. ‘The Twenty-elghth 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 organiz- ed, the Executive Committee desires the active, co-operative support of all societies, that a program may be pre- sented commensurate with the occa- sion; thus making this session a cele- bration. It is desired that every per- son 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 education- al societies; that the intellectual ele- ments should not be crushed out, but that they might receive the most scru- pulous attention in view of the fact that a reconstruction period must fol- low this conflict. Getting behind the Interstate sim- ply means that you are furnishing the stimulus for inspiration and encour- agement—a thing every colored per- son needs in these trying times. Reasonable rates are offered. The cost of boarding and rooming facili- ties will not exceed one dallor and a halt ($1.50) a day. Any literary society, debating club, or other organization rendering pro- grams of a literary or musical char- acter is eligible to mebership, and will be admitted upon sending to the Cor- responding Secretary on or before De- cember first, the name of the organ- ization 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 record- ed at the 1917 session retain their membership, by sending the Corre- sponding 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 declama- tion. To the winners, first and sec- ond prizes will be awarded. These contests will be open to anyone ex- cept persons graduating in any of the above branches. Rules, 1—Program number must be sent to the Corresponding Secre- tary on or before December 1, 1918, that they may reach the Executive Committee before the time set to ar- range the program, otherwise they will not be printed. 2—All papers are lim itted to ten minutes, It 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 ses sion, the social side of life will not be overlooked.

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 en- courage our soldier boys over there and to contribute in whatever way they can to their comfort and welfare. ‘Prominent men of the race composes It will require at least $4,000.00 to meet the expense of this commission, and we issue this appeal to the pub- lic, asking for contributions toward this fund. All checks or money or- ders for this purpose should be made payable to A. A, Graham, correspond- ing and financial secretary, who will promptly acknowledge with official re- ceipt. The money should be sent to A. A. Graham, Box 177, Phoebus, Va., or Headquarters, 903 Third Street, N. W., Washington, D. ©. In order to get the commission over there at an early date it should be in hand by December 1, 1918. We earnestly pray that every unit of our congress, that the churches and lodges throughout the country and every one interested in the welfare of our soldiers in France will respond to this appeal at once. We call upon pastors especially to put this matter before churches. The following amounts have been pledged: R. F, Williams, Texas, $100; S. J. Walls, N. C., $100; Walter Dar- den, N.

In spite of the protests of a large number of the American people, Fate seems to have it in store that the great world peace treaty shall contain some high rhetoric and abtruse logic. Some people are very conceited and headstrong. It is in vain that we search the columns of the perjudiced daily press for information concerning the movements of the Negro troops now in France. Outside of a few "dis here" jokes, we hear little of those brave black boys who have surpassed all others in their sacrifices upon the altar of democracy. In all the bond drives and in all the charitable war work the willing colored workers are "jimcrowed" off to themselves and told to make a showing for themselves. Then when the fine showing is made no public attention is given to it, no public mention of it is made along with the fulsome praise heaped upon the different guilds of the elect. That's democracy, too. DR. G. W. Who presided with grace and dignity a tendered Rev. J. W. Hurse at St. S. DR. G. W. BROWN. 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 firm, for the past ten or twelve years, has filled these positions with white men but decided recently to give colored men a trial, and those who have been employed are giving absolute satisfaction. Mr. Williams would be pleased to have capable and proficient young men who thoroughly understand running Ford machines to call at his residence, 2444 Woodland avenue, any evening after 6 o'clock or at any time during the day on Sunday. This is a splendid opportunity for our young men who desire to better their conditions and they should hasten to see Mr. Williams and take advantage of this opportunity that may not come again. Mr. Jones is also a tireless worker for his people as well as decidedly loyal and faithful to his employer. IN MEMORIAM. Zephia A. Jones-Rogers. August 12, 1889—November 29, 1915.

Somewhere in France.—With a gasoline can as a rostrum Secretary of War Baker, in the course of his inspection tour over there, addressed and audience of more than 2,000 Colored stevedore troops during their lunch hour. The speech, as well as the entire stage setting, was highly informal. Part of the secretary's audience lay sprawled upon the roof of a half-finished warehouse overlooking the local gasoline can, and nearly all of them went on munching the contents of their mess kits, as it was intended they should do. The secretary told the men how proud the people—all the people, home—were of them, and especially how proud their own race was of them. He told them a couple of short, comical stories that quickly surrounded him with an amphitheatre of white teeth all set in a broad smile. When he wound up by telling them that when he got back to America he was going to tell their people how well they had been doing, and the big shove they were giving to the army supplies which made it possible for the men at the front to win battles, he got such a "hand" as only strong and honestly caloused palms can give a speaker. Both before and after his talk to them Secretary Baker mingled among the men, asking them questions right and left, and thus getting much first hand information from these Colored stevedores. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the secretary's trip among the Colored men over here was at Blois. Here there is a battalion of Class B and C men, all of whom had been wounded in action, and many of whom proudly wore the Croix de Guerre or the D. S. C. They were lined up for inspection, together with their splendid band, also composed of B and C men. The secretary would not consent to their being introduced to him, as he put it: "It is an honor to be introduced to you." From the middle of the boxing ring and bandstand combined, which is the pride of the Blois camp, Mr. Baker told them how much their efforts had been appreciated by the nation; how greatly the nation was indebted to them, and how they, all of them, would be marked men in their communities throughout their entire lives for the service they had rendered their country in time of urgent need. "In after years," he said, "men will come home to their families and tell with pride, and with a slow union their faces, how they had sas City, Mo., and I wish to say, we dislike to take any of our good and influential citizens, and those especially of your race, as I have watched your activities while pastor in this city and you have done much in the upbuilding of your Church and your daily walk has been an example for better citizenship to your people and Kansas City can be congratulated in having you one of her colored citizens.

Concluding, Secretary Baker said to these Colored troops: "The history of America is in your hands, for you have enlarged it and helped to make it what it is today—a thing to fill every American with pride." Feats of Fearless Colored Troopers on the Firing Line. Somewhere in France.—A successful raid, planned by one of the majors of the old 8th Illinois regiment, whose home is at Metropolis, Ill, was made in the Voucharn sector, and with great daring. The motor battery of the regiment first tok part in laying down a barrage fire. The barrage fire began at 4 o'clock in the morning—just as the first rays of the sun shone sluggishly, and but dimly, behind the horizon. At the hour named every gunner was at his gun. The major flashed an electric signal, and within a minute or two thereafter every gun fired simultaneously, as if connected with and controlled by an electric battery. For fifteen minutes the Colored gunners kept up their barrage fire, and then a French company was sent out behind the barrage to make the raid. So surprising was the raid, and so quickly made, that but three of the Colored soldiers wer wounded, and they but slightly, and but eight of the French, with whom they were fighting, while the German's casualty toll was eleven killed, three wounded, while the remainder were captured. Stories of the fight in the Argonne Forest, and the splendid endurance and valiant fighting of the Colored soldiers continue to come in. It is reported that a company of the old 9th Ohio battalion, under command of its Colored captain from Dayton, Ohio, laak in an open field all night, awaiting orders to go into action, while all the time the Germans were dumping 210 shells and 88 machine gun fire into them. But even in the face of such a murderous fire, the Colored line stood as firm as if the huge shells and murderous machine gun fire was but the discharge of toy blow guns. Among their casualty was Anderson Lee and William Chenault, of Dayton, who were killed. The firmness of the line these khaki-garbed black soldiers maintained in the face of withering fire—a veritable hell—constitutes one more reason why the folks—the race back home—should be proud of these, their Colored soldiers over THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1918 AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICE FOR NEGRO TROOPS CAMPTON PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENS EN ROUTE TO CAMP OR EMBARKATION POINT HE KNOWS THAT"SOMEBODY CARES." OVER 65,000 women are now actively enrolled as workers in the 700 American Red Cross canteens extending from the most northern point in Canada to the most southern in the United States and from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Together with the canteen kitchens, medical supplies and small transfer hospitals, they comprise the equipment of the Canteen service, primarily organized to stimulate the morale of the soldiers and to let them know that the country is with them and appreciates the sacrifice they are making. It was also organized for the purpose of meeting emergencies which may arise with troops in transit—unavoidable delays, accidents, supplies exhausted, sudden illness or accidents to the men en route. The American Red Cross Canteen Service is one branch of the service which, owing to its nature, requires a certain amount of secrecy. The United States is a tremendous country, with miles of track, and its troops are spread over tremendous areas. Men are sent from their home towns to camps, troops are moved from one camp to another, and they are shipped from camps to embarkation points and sent overseas, but wherever they are they find the American Red Cross has already blazed the trail and is there "on the job." This service, like all efforts in behalf of the soldiers, sailors and marines on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, is rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. Six hundred negro sold'rs were served recently by an American Red Cross canteen at a point in Arkansas. In a press report of the work it was stated: "It will be a long time before the activities of that great organization, the American Red Cross, will perform a better service, or one that gives the good women, both white and colored, more pleasure. They were enlisted colored men coming direct from their farms and homes in Louisiana, going to a strange city and surroundings. They were a timid set when they stepped off the train here like a drove of lost sheep, but there was a far different feeling when they left. The interest shown in them here made new and fighting men out of them. They will take their places in the trenches just like the white soldier and every time one of them does it he takes the place of your boy or my boy He's an American soldier, and all honor is due the splendid work of our Canteen women and their colored women helpers." Negro Auxiliaries. Many cities of the South are organizing colored auxiliary canteen committees. The colored canteen in New Orleans is in charge of a very fine colored woman of education and a graduate nurse. The canteen has headquarters on the ground floor of the Pythian Temple, owned entirely by negro capital. It has five large rooms, well equipped for rest and recreation, and to date has entertained every batch of negro selects leaving for cantonments. It is maintained by New Orleans Chapter funds. At some points, notably in Texas, Canteen service is maintained to give refreshments to the aviators at their landing fields. In some of the large "allroad yards model canteen buildings here, whose unyielding spirit and bravery is making history for the race. I have learned that Hill 304, which the French so valiantly held, and which suffered such a fierce bombardment from the Germans that there is not a single foot of it but what is plowed up by shells, and whose sides, even today, are literally covered with the corpses of French soldiers who still lie where they fell, was later as valiantly held by the Colored soldiers from the United States, who fought with all the heroism and endurance the best traditions of the army has chronicled. The Colored soldiers, under their own captain from Dayton, Ohio, who so splendidly maintained their line in the Argonne Forests, and those who held that bloody and forever historical Hill 304, had the odds against them, but like Tennyson's im- AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN WORKERS GIVE THE SAME SERVICE TO NEGRO TROOPS; AS TO WHITE MEN.

Upon the return recently of the national field secretary to the national headquarters of the American Red Cross, after a three months' transcontinental tour of the canteen stations, she presented a list of delightfully varied cooling refreshments served the troops—lists registering ingenuity and thrift in utilizing local resources to make an appetizing and attractive menu for the boys. The prime requisite, of course, in the summer months was something cool, refreshing and perfectly harmless—lnexpensive and easy to prepare and serve in large quantities on short notice. Soap and water and towels, while not on the menu exactly, were immensely appreciated, and flowers were a real refreshment. All were enthusiastically received by the men after a hot and dirty trip. Interesting "sidelights" on the Canteen activities the length and breadth of the country find their way into the national headquarters of the American Red Cross and give one a very human insight into the work. In one city where it was known that nineteen nurses were to pass through on the train, en route overseas, twelve canteen workers in uniform boarded the train on its arrival and presented each nurse with a beautiful red rose. They were quite overcome and declared the courtesy was one of the nicest things that had ever happened to them He Got Ninety! At another canteen station a lone negro was served. He had been in France, had been wounded and was sent on a furlough to get well. "Yessum," he said, "I was hit in the arm and the knee. And I got so mad when I was hit I grabbed my gun and I sure let her go. Yessum, Ise satisfied—got ninety of them Germans!" En route to Waynesville hospital, a sergeant with six invalid soldiers applied to the American Red Cross Canteen at a station for a more suitable lunch for the men than could be found in the regular lunch room. Service was given immediately and eggs, fruit, milk, etc., supplied to the men. This is but one of many instances that demonstrate the efficiency of the Canteen service in emergencies. A soldier who had not seen his moth-mortalized "Six Hundred," they fought bravery and well, "firmed in the belief" it was not their's to reason why. It was their's "to do and die," and, like the patriots they were, they did DO and this war's history will so record er for years found he was to pass through his "home town" and wrote her to that effect, asking that she meet him at the train. The message did not reach her. Naturally, very much disappointed not to find her at the station, the boy's woe-begone expression attracted the attention of a canteen worker. When she heard his story she immediately started out in her car, found the mother, motored her to the station and had the pleasure of witnessing a very happy reunion of mother and son before duty called him overseas. Canteen workers often supply the messages for the "folks back home" that are written on the post cards distributed by the American Red Cross throughout its Canteen service. This is done in cases where the men are unable to write themselves. Recently a distribution of the cards was made to a number of colored troops, and many of the Canteen workers were called upon to do the writing. In commenting upon the incident one of the workers said: "The giving was not all on our part, for when they returned from their exercises through the city the colored men were formed in a hollow square by their Commandant and the 'talent' of the regiment ordered out. The singing was beautiful and the clog dancing entertaining." The colored men were so pleased with their treatment that several of them made speeches, and one spokesman stated that he was going to have the American Red Cross Canteen "writ up" when he got to where he was going. "It was the supper hour, but my committee was at the station at work on ham sandwiches and preparing coffee within twenty minutes after notification of the time of arrival of the troops," says a Canteen captain in a recent report. "When the train arrived my five ladies served nice fresh country ham sandwiches from large trays garnished with lettuce. I had to call in the husbands, as we had only twenty minutes to serve eleven coaches. After serving the sandwiches and coffee we made the second trip around, and each boy aboard received a Red Cross chocolate bar and cigarettes. Every single boy was courteous and orderly, and their appreciation was the sweetest thing I ever saw." "This is swell and helps a fellow a lot," said a big olive-drabbed boy after partaking of canteen refreshments at OIL LEASE FOR SALE.

"Tell us about that one thing that makes you unhappy. Maybe we can fix it," smilingly encouraged a charming Canteen worker. "Well, we're broke, and no one can fix that but our dads, and they are'way up in Washington. We haven't time to wire for extra money—and there you are," the said the lad with a wistful smile. "That's easy," said the Canteen girl. "We'll send the wires for you and have the money sent to your next stop." "Hurrah for you!" cried the boys. And as they boarded the out-going train they wore quite a different looking expression from that which they registered just a few minutes before. From the foregoing, which is in reality but a "flash" of the great Canteen service in operation, one receives but the barest outline of the far-reaching effect of this branch of the American Red Cross activities in this country. Workers Take Oath. The American Red Cross furnishes all commanders of troop trains, conductors and railway officials with a Canteen directory, embracing the names of the chapters which have organized Canteen units. Upon being given the briefest possible telegraphic notice these chapters are prepared to render assistance of all kinds to troops en route. Troop train commanders, having government funds for the purpose, pay the government rate for rations ordered. In cases of accident or sickness occurring en route medical assistance and ambulance service are arranged for if requested in advance. Some of the Canteens, designated as "transfer stations," have immediate ambulance service for transferring sick and wounded service men to hospitals, as well as specially prepared food for sick soldiers in transit. All official American Red Cross Canteen Workers are carefully investigated and enrolled under oath of allegiance, and the woven shield of the Progressive Produce Company 2326 VINE STREET Bell Phone East 1788 MRS.

Canteen worker, bearing the Red Cross insignia, is worn conspicuously when on active duty. The officers of a Canteen unit includes a captain, first and second lieutenants, a supply clerk and a mail clerk. The size of the Canteen unit depends largely on the frequency of the troop movements through its location. It is estimated that a unit of fifteen women can serve five hundred men. At first both Army officers and railway men felt that the Canteen service was not a necessity, in that it duplicated the provisions of the Government and the railroads. But observers in both Army and railroad service have come to acknowledge that the Canteen is a unique addition to troop transportation. At a time when the whole machinery of travel is geared to an unheard-of speed, it is inevitable that accident and weather should result in unforeseeable delay and discomfort—the prolongation of journeys far beyond their expected time often depletes the troop stores, and the enormous travel on the railroads often limits the available railway supplies. The American Red Cross canteen service assists the officer conducting transportation by giving him an immediate depot of supplies and helps the railroad by feeding the troops in the railroad yard, thus preventing congestion at the station. In one city the president of the railroad ordered a freight car given the American Red Cross. It was equipped with light and gas and placed on a side-track near the railway station. The canteen unit is thus able to keep the coffee hot and have refreshments on hand for the incoming troop trains, and it also serves as a protection to the workers against cold while waiting for the trains. The equipment of an American Red Cross canteen is just exactly what a community decides to make it. Some canteens in the larger centers are highly developed, while others embrace the minimum equipment. All are doing a wonderful work in which it is a pleasure to have a share.

How this lady is s Not such striking effect in the taste of this bakery product belongs, no doubt, to the occult sciences. All we can do is to spread some good butter, such as was served, upon one of these rolls, place within the facial cavity, sink the teeth and then stand pat until the pleasant spell passes away. This should not be repeated over twenty times. Mr. Starks seemed to be the best in this demonstration. It is not known whether he exceeded the limit or not. The ladies present showed their appreciation by vying with each other in paying tribute to the "fowl" quarter. Mr. Crews led in the conversation, and sometimes in the mastication! Yes, there were spices and salads and delicious lemon pie. There was no sign of scarcity. A fine, heavy and good natured railery was going on all the time between the feasters. Mr. Crews recalled reminiscences of a lunch he enjoyed with the Compton's during the World's Fair in Chicago twenty-five years ago, and praised their culinary art. Thus, these two race institutions, right there in the same building, owned by Negroes, are found practicing a laudable business spirit and a mutual hospitality which, in these days, is rare and beautiful. Mrs. Marion Bronson, niece of Mrs. Compton, served the party and was mistresses of every detail. The entire Sun staff says "If you want to eat eats that are worth eating, that melt in your mouth and make you feel good and at peace with all the world for the rest of the day, eat at Compton's famous lunchery on Eight teenth street at Woodland avenue.
