PUT EMMETT SCOTT'S FEET UNDER THE PEACE TABLE By Clement Richardson, President of Lincoln Institute. The war is closed. Peace negotiations are hastening to conclusion. In the rush and hurrah of victory and peace let us not forget that we have been fighting not merely for democracy for Europe, but for democracy for the darker cares. To be sure that the interest of the darker races, particularly of the Negro, shall be thoroughly protected, a black man's feet should be put under the peace table. Cast about, as you will, your mind is bound to revert to one mah; to a man whose experience and whose training direct the mind to him, and to him only. As unreserved as such a statement may appear, it is never the-less a fact that Emmett J. Scott is the only Negro whose practice training fits him for this particular place. He has represented the darker peoples most acceptably at Washington during these trying days. He knows all the ins and outs of diplomacy there as no other Black man knows them, or can know them. On the other hand he has, for a quarter of a century, gone hand in hand with the American Negro. He knows what we have suffered, what we have done, what our hopes are, what our aspirations are. His training has rendered him fittest of all for the post. Reared in a classical school, he has supplemented his education with journalism in Houston, Tex., first on a white daily paper, then as a Negro editor. While working as a journalist he was also undergoing an apprenticeship as a politician. He got his first grasp on politics and diplomacy under the famous artist in statecraft, Wright Cuney, of Texas. From Texas and from Cuney he went to Booker T. Washington in Alabama. Here, for nearly twenty years, he met and mastered the most intricate and most knotty questions that could arise in any state. No question that could arise around any peace table in Europe could ever be more racking than those of race which Emmett Scott met with coolness, suavity, and refinement in Alabama. The local problems of adjustment with the white people and the Black people of Alabama; the tight-rope dance of keeping a public man like Booker T. Washington out of political, social ROBERT TALTON BASEY, A Kansas City boy who is fighting for his country with the American Expeditionary Forces in France. and educational entanglement; the constructive task of forming racial and progressive platforms for the Negro—these were among the problems solved by Emmett J. Scott, and which makes him unquestionably fit for a seat at the peace table of races. Behind his Chief, he was the moving genius which organized the International Conference on the Negro and the National Negro Business League. It was Mr. Scott, again, who engineered for the Wizard of Tuskegee those magnificent excursions through nearly every state in the South without a single hitch. It was he who, in the absence of Dr. Washington kept his finger on every item of business at Tuskegee, and kept the Principal thoroughly informed. It was he, again, who kept his finger on the pulse of the nation, of both races, and once more kept his chief informed. Further, Mr. Scott's wide contact 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 in America and abroad makes him the man not only to represent the American Negro, but the Negro of Africa. He was one of the three delegates to be sent from this country to Liberia, to investigate the conditions of that republic. His booklet entitled, "Is Liberia Worth Saving?" is one of the instructive documents current on that country. At Tuskegee and abroad he has had intimate dealings with the representatives of every race of the civilized world. He has corresponded with, talked with, and had dealings with leading men of Japan, of China, of France, of England, of Holland, of Belgium, and of Germany, so that no where along the line would he be nervous or uncertain about the temper of the men with whom he would have to deal around the peace table. In all situations at Tuskegee, in the National Negro Business League, in all the turmoils and gatherings in which he accompanied Dr. Washington, in his trying work at Washington during the war, and in his taxing journeys over the country from camp to camp, he has always been a man of culture, of poise, and of fairness. The Negro race, and the darker races of the world, can therefore look to him with implicit confidence as Representative Negro Editors 1. Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback of Louisiana. 2. Charles W.

More than three hundred diners were served by the ladies and everyone who had the pleasure of being seated at the well laden tables were loud in their praises of the sumptuous repast placed before them. The one unanimous sentiment expressed was "I do not see how they could do it for thirty-five cents." But the ladies who compose this splendid auxiliary knew. Much credit is due Mrs. N. C.

Resolutions to Judge Graves. On last Thursday evening, November 21st, the Negro Central Democratic Organization gave one of the most brilliant banquets that has been given in this western country. Our honored guests were: The Hon. W. T. Kemper, Ex-Mayor Henry L. Jost, Mr. Franklin D. Crabbs, President of the Union Bank Note Co.; Mr. J. H. Wiles, President Loose-Wiles Cracker Co.; Mr. F. G. Robinson, Speaker of the Upper House of the Common Council, and Dr. E. H. Bullock, Health Director of Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. J. A. Eames, Secretary to the Mayor; Hon. Guy Holmes, Judge Casimir J. Welch my Hall CELEBRATES White Celebrities in dance. HELMED WITH OVATION. Judge Flemings, Mr. Denny Costello, Hon. Ed Baker and a number of others whose names our reporter was unable to obtain. Mr. A. V. Monholland, toastmaster, in his unassuming manner, drew from the honored guest some brilliant remarks that will long live as an inspiration for the one hundred and fifty Negroes who listened earnestly to every phrase. Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, presentment of the "New Possessions of Democracy" was a beautiful story of their forced secret meetings of years ago and their growth to a strong party organization. He agreed that under the present conditions that a Negro could not be a true factionalist; that the Negro could never be until he sat at the table and took part in the deliberations of the caucus; that men so situated could only have a selection of choice through friendship; and that any man who argued to the contrary was kidding himself; that it was as far removed from the politeness of our Democratic Organization as a jackass should be from a bridal party. He then offered the following resolution to Judge Graves which was adopted: Resolution to Judge Graves. Whereas, A very large per cent of the 8th ward voters of Kansas City are Colored and Whereas, the 8th Ward gave a Democratic majority of 860 votes. Whereas, There are 48 Negro precincts of Kansas City, 44 of which gave substantial Democratic majorities. Whereas, The Negroes cast a Democratic vote of 4,500 for Democracy in Kansas City and Jackson county, Missouri; be it Resolved, That the Central Negro Democratic Organization of Kansas DR. WILLIAM J. THOMPKINS. A member of the State Commission, representing Governor Gardner among Negroes of this city, the leader of Democracy not only of Kansas City but of Missouri and this Western Country, who made effective the Central Democratic Organization of 1800 members which has attracted favorable comment from the leading white political leader of the party throughout the country for it has been established that this organization carries the balance of power in Kansas City and the State. Its independent plan of organization has made it the model for the many similar organizations that have been organized throughout the country. City and Jackson county do hereby friendly claim the credit of the election of Judge Graves to the Supreme Court of Missouri. Be it further Resolved, That we wish for him all of the strength and courage for the administration of those principles that are dealing with that element which all of the races of the earth are cray- (Continued on Page 5.)

On the 2nd day of November the Supervisor of American Woodmen Camp, Camp No. 5, sent in a claim for one, Edward Mason, deceased, who, until the day of his death resided at 1619 Troost avenue, and on the 5th day of November, the beneficiary of the deceased was handed a check covering the full amount due her under the terms of the policy. Up to the present date, the Metropolitan has not yet paid. This goes to show that a Colored man can get the best results from an Institution of his own race. The American Woodmen will stop to pay off their claims, while insurance companies of other races will not do so. Mr. H. B. Moore, Undertaker, made the statement to us that no question could arise either in his mind or to his lips concerning finances, when the body of a Woodman was brought to him, for we have more money than all the other Negro Fraternal Insurance companies put together. W. A. Campbell, supervisor of Camp No. 5, came to Kansas City, July 24, and found the monthly financial report of said camp between $30.00 and $35.00. But now he has increased it to $235.00 per month. Mr. Campbell says that Mississippi blood flows through his veins and as you know Mississippi men do things. The following Reverend Gentlemen have been made honorary deputies: J. W. Hurse, J. F. Sage and C. C. Calloway. See them and discuss Woodcraft with them. Mr. Campbell feels proud of having secured the services of these representative men. 75 WOMEN WANTED We want seventy-five women to do day work. Apply at 1704 East 12th St. Williams-Jackson Realty Co.

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 scruppulous 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 dallor 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 mebership, 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 St. 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. 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 public, asking for contributions toward this fund. 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. 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 Darden, N. J., $100; J. E.

You may give a baboon a ton of paper and a barrel of ink but he will never be able to write a single article that will convince humanity that he is either civil or civilized.—Selah. The Editor left Wednesday morning for St. Louis, Mo., to attend the opening of the new Poro building, which is unquestionably the most imposing and costly of any erection by the race. Much credit is due Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone for this magnificent contribution to the achievement of the race. Next week the Sun will give a full account of the ceremonies incidental to the grand opening. The most original and attractive calendar we have ever seen is the one being sent out by Dr. Theodore Smith from his popular drug score, 18th and Tracy, this city, in which is featured one of the handsomest and most intelligent women of the race it has ever been our pleasure to gaze upon. The Editor frankly admits he would consider it a pleasure as well as an honor to see the original. Dr. Theodore Smith is ever doing something to encourage and advance his people and his calendar is a fine testimonial to his originality his ability to judge beauty and as an inspiration to the race. Hats off to Dr. Smith. An Associated Press war article smilingly states that Negro troops in France sing and joke at the work of repairing the roads so that the army of occupation may take its way onward to the Rhine. Come to think of it, that is very exhilating work. It is reported that the Japanese and Chinese will demand of the great peace council that the race question be settled once for all along with other things. Can it be possible that these orientals expect the world to end after the adjournment of the council? Now if the Y. W. C. A. will go to work in some sort of tangible manner it will be quite easy for them to effect a strong organization and secure a home. It is their turn. It is their opportunity and the public is in the frame of mind to help them go "over the top." A local speaker is said to have made the assertion that "the churches are not getting anywhere." He probably overlooked the fact that they are getting into debt and that they are getting closer and closer to the vanities of the world. They are getting somewhere all right. Twelfth street, which is now the Black White Way is said to be conspicuous for its gambling facilities, policy headquarters, women night revelers, boisterous children, Negro patrons of white shops and general social driftings. Why do not the churches in this section get busy? NOTICE. Just to inform the public from on now that the Laing Patent Hair Straightening combs can be bought at 1737 Woodland Avenue, Kansas City, Mo.

NEGRO DEMOCRACY CELEBRATE: SVORESS EU SeSS Hi) ing—Democracy, and commend to his aid—Him who knoweth all under- standing. ‘The prolonged oyation tendered Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins was a fitting evi- dence of their appreciation of his merits as an organizer in successful- ly bringing together these workers and men and so placing Negro Dem- ocracy on a higher plane than it has ever been before in Kansas City. He has a wide range of vision and is quite in harmony with the spirit of the times; for he is a great student of the new and modern Democracy as it effects the Negro. Felix H. Payne took for his subject “The Negro in the World War,” and in very forcible and elegant language expressed in the most philosophic strain, with a magnificent splendor of diction convinced his audience that he was a student of Modern History and that he is not only found in the pro- cession with modern historians, but is keeping step with the march. His discourse was all that could be expect- ed and was filled with gems of ora- tory which called forth from the audt- ence a series of rousing applauses which lasted several minutes. Other very fine remarks were made. Prof. J. L. F, 'Talton, old line Demo- crat, delivered a masterly address on Our Organization, His address cov- ered the scope and work of the things accomplished, He is regarded as a strong factor in both city and state. 0. J. Brooks presented a forceful argument on the Adherence to Dem- ocracy, his argument was magic and she deserves to be termed the little electric wire of the organization. Dr. A. D. Bradbury sang a baritone solo which brought forth tremendous applause and called for an encore. Dr. L, M. Tillman's address on the “Significance of Recent Election” was a beautiful analysis and displayed the fact that he had & most excellent com- prehension of the future. Ike Mitchéll’s discourse on Old Bourbon Democracy was a revelation to many of the converts and older members. His characteristics and manner of discourse was enjoyed and he displayed that “brevity is the soul of wit.” John Bailey in “reviewing the past” pictured the heights obtained but laid much stress upon the depth from which we have come. It was indeed a grand old story which will not be forgotten. ‘Tom Bibbs’ discourse on the Future of the Bleventh Ward” was timely. He showed that under the present ar- rangement of things that the bad showing the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eleventh precinets had made, was due in both the last city, and recent county elections to the fact that the white men who still dictate the pol- icy of the wards are not working in harmony with the men who can de- liver the votes. . Wm, Maupin’s address on “Our Friends” was true to the letter, and appreciated. One was thoroughly con: vinced who they were when he had finished. Walter Pritchett’s discourse on the “Future of the Fifth Ward” was a new revelation. When he shall hay< regulated the Fifth Ward he will have aveomplished a wonderful work. Prof, ©. H, X, Stewart gave a fine analysis on “What the Party Should Do by 1920.” His philosophy was ex WHERE? AVERY FURNITURE COMPANY 1308 and 1310 Grand Avenue Is it a gocd place to buy furniture?

The results até yet to be realized. ; Madison Weaver, the old Missouri War Horse, delivered a discourse on the all popular subject, “Should Mis- ouri Go Dry?” When he had finish- ed, the audience was convinced that Missouri should be everything but dry. | The sumptuous repast was prepared by Mr. McKnight, proprietor of the Cafe De Luxe who spared no paing in making this banquet a success in every particular. The room was beau- tifully decorated with flags, buntings and ferns which added very much to the splendor of the occasion. Our favorite and popular physician, Dr. E. B. Ramsey, is due much credit for his aélivity in bringing about the success of the banquet. Mr. C. F. Jackson and Mr. Lemuel Shephard rendered elegant service in the selec- tion of the good things that were served. ‘The following menu was served: Celery Olives Green Onions Tomato Salad Cocktails Roast Young Turkey Cranberry Sauce Mashed Potatoes Lettuce Bits Green Peas Country Boiled Ham Budweiser Wine Punch Black Coffee Cigars ‘The audience closed by singing “My Country "Tis of Thee” which ended an oceasion long to be remembered in the hearts of the people of Kansas City. ; : ; : ; JUNK!

Commandant of Casualty Camp Says "No Better Soldiers Than Colored—Extends Marked Courtesies to Special Correspondent. Something About the Historic Castle of Blois—"Essential Service" of Energetic Stevedore Regiments — Colored Soldiers Saving Money for Proverbial "Rainy Day." By RALPH W. TYLER. (Accredited Representative of The Committee on Public Information.) Somewhere in France.—I have just returned from a five days' stay at an S. O. S. camp at which I met a number of Colored officers who are there either as the result of wounds or awaiting reclassification. This particular S. O. S. camp is a casualty camp also to which are sent all officers, white as well as Colored, who are to be reclassified as the result of wounds or other causes. Here I met Majors Arthur Williams and Charles L. Hunt, of Illinois; Captain C. L. Hill of Chicago, Lieuts. E. S. Gillard of Indianapolis, D. W. Anthony of St. Louis, Birney Cox of Columbus, O.; D. E. Simelton of Chicago, Fred D. Porter of Waco, Tex.; U. Gaines of Junction City, Kans.; Herdon White of Portland, Me.; B. F. Rud of Springfield, O.; R. C. Allen of Springfield O., and Walker of Springfield, O. Lieut. D. W. Johnson, surgeon of Columbus, O., is permanently stationed here, attached to the medical corps I have never, during my stay in France, been accorded such courteous and considerate treatment as I was accorded by General Rosenbaum, the commandant at this camp. He personally conducted me through the barracks on foot, and then accompanied me, in his automobile, on a tour of the grounds. He assured me, and I later confirmed it in conversation with the Colored officers, that there is absolutely no discrimination, because of color, tolerated at this camp either in barracks, mess or other assignments. He spoke most highly of the Colored officers and soldiers stationed at this camp, and said he was perfectly willing to be quoted as saying the Colored men under him were splendid soldiers. He apparently took great pride in telling of how quickly Colored soldiers learned their duties and how punctual and precise they were in performing duties. Another white officer at this casualty camp, whose considerateness of and fine treatment accorded Colored soldiers, entitles him to be mentioned in this letter, is Lieut. C. H. Hagar of Chicago, who is in charge of the of ficers' casualty company. Every Colored officer here speaks in the high est terms of Lieut. Hagar. At the Historic Castle of Blois. Near here, and easily and quickly accessible from the camp, stands the historic old Castle of Blois, perhaps the most famous chateau in France, which although erected in the thirteenth century, is still in a marvellous state of preservation. This old castle has a tragic history. Here Louis of Orleans was assassinated in 1407, Louis XII was born, the Duke de Guise and his brother, the Cardinal of Lorraine, were murdered at the order of Henri the Third, here Henri III himself was assassinated, and here Catherine de Medici reigned, poisoned her many noblemen and noblewomen who became victims of her displeasure, and here she died. As one roams through the corridors, royal bed chambers, libraries, counsel and throne and ball rooms of this historical old chateau, still rich in its original decorations and settings, the royal ghosts of the hoary past seem to pass in review before you. This old chateau, at divers times, was ce cupied by every one of France's reign ing kings and queens down to Napoleon. To whatever point the many officers ordered here for reclassification or recuperation, may be sent, they seem to find much satisfaction in having the unusual opportunity of visiting and roaming through the old historical Castle of Blois, which has defied six centuries to shatter or decay it. And the sleepy, historical town that lies below and around the Castle of Blois, with its incomparable architecture, its massive walls, its towers and interior decorations which the present day, with all of civilization's progress, cannot equal, unfolds to our Colored soldiers so much of the past as to, at least partially, compensate them for having been ordered to this casualty camp located nearby, where seven real live generals, a score or more of colonels and lieutenant colonels and majors and captains and lieutenants too numerous to be mentioned, some of them Colored, anxiously await further orders. Quite complacently, and unmurmuringly, they are doing the "watchful waiting" stunt. Colored officers awaiting reclassification form less than two per cent of the total number at this casualty camp, and only, perhaps, about one per cent of the total number of commissioned Colored officers in the army. This is quite a tribute to the efficiency of Colored officers. But who would not complacently and unmurmuringly wait where much of France's long past history was made? Here Victor Hugo once lived, and here he wrote the first chapters of his immortal "Les Miserables;" near here still stands the castles of Cardinal Amboise and the Duke of Eperon; the church of Saint Vinbuilt-cent, erected in 1620, and in which are the tombs of Gaston of Orleans and Mademoiselle de Montpensier; the church of Saint Laumrt, built in the 13th century, and the old College of Augustine-Thiery. Our Colored officers at this casualty camp, while they dine and sip their Bordeaux wine of a vintage old, but which contains not the least semblance of a "kick," discuss French history of the past, much of which was written in blood, that was made in and about the old Castle of Blois. Up to date the most delightful hours I have spent in France were spent in this casualty camp, companioned by the Colored officers before mentioned, many of whom I knew personally, roaming back through the days made forever historic by the Castle of Blois. At the present time there rests in this old castle a number of treasured old paintings, brought here for safe keeping—to save their being destroyed by the hands of the impious Hun. PRIVATE WALKER MAKES THE SUPREME SACRIFICE Private David Walker, 361th Field Artillery, Battery B, American Expeditionary Forces, son of Mrs. Annie Wright, 2439 Highland avenue, died of pneumonia in France, October 15. Official word was received from the Government November 8. Private Walker enlisted in March and was stationed at Camp Meade, Maryland, prior to his movement to France. He will be remembered by many of his old friends as "Pick" Walker. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Amanda M. Wright, his sister, Miss Goldie Walker, who is a nurse in Chicago, and two brothers. His remains will be left interred in France wher he so unselfishly made the supreme sacrifice. Peace to his ashes. The Sun extends its sincere sympathy to this splendid family in their hour of sorrow. Mrs. Virginia Wright Green of 2433 Highland avenue, is slowly improving from the la gippe. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1918. AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICE FOR NEGRO TROOPS WHEN THIS HAPPENS EN ROUTE TO CAMP OR EMBARKATION POINT HE KNOWS THAT SOMEBODY OVER 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 men alike, without distinction. Six hundred negro sold rs were served recently by an American Red Cross canteen at a point in Arkansas. Ir. 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 that 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 canonments. 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 funding fields. In some of the large aitroad yards model canteen buildings NOW OPEN OIL LEASE FOR SALE. 31/2 years to run; taxes, due in April, $40. Producing wells within 150 feet on all sides of lease, $900.

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—inexpensive 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 home on a furlough to get well. "Yessum," he sald, "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, I'se 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- Mr. R. B. Sales of 2304 Woodland avenue, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis at the New Wheatley-Provident hospital, has been able to return home and is recovering rapidly. Thanks to the skilful surgery and care of Dr. M. H. Lambright 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 entertained." 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 Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Stella Williams left for Riverside, Calif., to visit their sick aunt, Mrs. Kizzie Hamilton.

"And if it weren't Canteen worker, bearing for one thing I and my chum could Cross insignia, is worn con come mighty near being happy now." "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," 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 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 foreseeable 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.
