New York, Feb. 17.—Nearly 3,000 strong, the "hell fighters" of the famous 369th infantry—formerly the "fighting 15th," of the national guard—come to New York from Camp Upton today and paraded up Fifth avenue to the plaudits of thousands of their admiring countrymen. They carried the tattered and medal-decorated flags they had borne to victory on many a hard-fought battle field of France, and wore their trench helmets. Colonel Hayward, organizer and commander of the unit, headed the parade. This is the first complete unit of war veterans to parade in New York State and city officials reviewed the marching troopers. At the conclusion of the parade the "hell fighters" were escorted to the 71st regiment armory and treated to a big chicken dinner. There were 89 officers and 2,902 enlisted men in line. The reviewing party included Gov. Alfred E. Smith, Maj. Gen. Thomas H. Barry, Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves, members of the board of aldermen and the board of estimate and other city officials. DR. WM. J. THOMPKINS, whose eloquent and unanswerable address before the Judiciary Committee of the Legislature immediately killed the infamous "Jimcrow car" Bill, which had been introduced.

Thompkins the following telegram was sent by Mayor Cowgill to the Secretary of War: Mayor's Office, City Hall, Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 19, 1919. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.

NEGRO POSING AS WAR HERO ARRESTED; THOUSANDS FAIL TO GAIN SEATS AT LECTURE. St. Louis, Feb. 17.—Posing as Henry Johnson, Negro hero, who is said to have killed thirty-six Germans single-handed with a bolo-knife, Albert Parker of Mobile, Ala., tonight was arrested when he appeared at the coliseum to tell 12,000 Negroes his experiences while under fire. The arrest was made after detectives read an Associated Press dispatch from New York saying Johnson had arrived from overseas today. The welcome was the greatest celebration ever held by Negroes here. Thousands were turned away, although prices of admission ranged from 25 cents to $2. Mayor Henry W. Kiel made the address of welcome. Parker's left leg is severed and he carries many "battle scars." Detectives say he admitted his leg had been cut off by a train and he received his "battle scars" in "various affairs." According to police, Parker admitted having duped audiences in Montgomery, Ala.; Charleston and Raleigh, N. C., and other southern cities where he made war talks. He was to have received $500 for his address. Mrs. Rena Adkins, wife of the well known undertaker, C. H. Adkins, is seriously ill at the Wheatley-Provident Hospital. Her many friends hope for her speedy recovery. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22. 1919. NATIONAL NEGRO CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE OF AMERICA. Petition to be Presented to the Congress of the United States of America We, the undersigned, Citizens of the United States of America, representing approximately one-tenth of the total population thereof, in view of the fact of our loyalty and patriotic devotion to our Country, because of our awakened sense of justice and freedom as should become American citizens; believing that we deserve, and that it is our inalienable right to enjoy the blessing of life, liberty, property and the puruit of happiness as ordained by the Constitution of the United States, for which we have so freely and ungrudgingly sacrificed our blood and our lives; believing that discrimination and prejudice, Jim Crowism and disfranchisement, mob violence and injustice, which exist in certain sections of the United States, is the result of Class Legislation and the non-enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, and that it is the blackest blot on the pages of American history, that in the end it will ultimately destroy, if not checked at the proper time, the very fabric of Constitutional Government, do hereby, in the name of God and Humanity, through the good office of the National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America, most solemnly and sincerely petition you to enforce, by proper legislation, and pass such laws as will make inoperative, null and void, all such State Laws as conflict with, and make ineffective, the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.

Calvin Bushby is the first Atchison county man reported affected with the epidemic of hiccoughs prevalent in the East. He has had them continuously for four days, and at times has a very high temperature. He gets occasional short sleeps, but when he awakens the hiccoughing starts again. “There goes $175,” said Morris Alderfer, a farmer, as he tossed two grain sacks filled with seven bushels of clover seed, into the tonneau of his motor car. Grandma Miller says she overlooked a good bet when she sold twenty-five bushels last year at $8 a bushel. MRS. M'CAMPBELL TENDERS THANKS FOR ASSISTANCE IN RED CROSS WORK.

EIGHTH GREAT RECEPTION, Chicago, Ill, Feb, 20.—The most gt- gantic and wonderful public demon: ‘stration ever held in the city of Chi- ‘cago, took place Monday when the 870th Infantry, the old Bighth Illinois, was welcomed home by the populace. It is not the word of an enthused in- dividual patriot, but the published ex- Pression of every daily newspaper in Chicago, and all leading authorities, that never has Chicago seen anything to equal the Monday. demonstration. It was more than an event, it marks an epoch, and it is in this light that the story of the occasion is treated. Never have the Chicago daily news- papers given so much space in news, illustrations and editorials to anything in which the Negro was connected. Great full-page wide headlines, full page illustrations and column editori- ats announced and welcomed the dusky heroes who achieved undying fame on ‘the world battle flelds of France, | Let it be thorougify understood that it was not a Race event, it was a truly [Chicago event in all that the word implies, and its effect will be felt ‘throughout the nation. More than |500,000 people viewed the parade in |which the conquering heroes marched through the principal thoroughfares of ‘Chicago's famous loop business dis trict. Business was suspended every- where, and the enthusiasm of all the people showed without doubt that Chi- cago, with its great cosmpolitan popu: lation, is the climax American city of true democracy and justice, ‘There was speech making by Mayor Thompson, Col. Thomas Roberts, Col. Otis Duncan and others, and the one fact impressed on all was this: The day has come when the door of op- portunity in the United States is opened at all hazards. The men were attired in full mili tary equipment, with steel helmets, rifles, cartridge belts, and the para phernalia with which they chased the Germans back across the Hindenbers line. They are the first soldiers out of Chicago who actually participated in the fighting, to return as a unit, Looking to the future, after the mer have been demobilized, the fighting men have retuned home with the same grim determination to enter inte civic life that they used in chasing the Huns back into their own country Capt.

We sacrificed that democ racy might be made safe, and we are E9ing to have some say in seeing how the game is carried on at home.” Taeut. Col. Duncan, the man of whom lit was said: “He didn't have sense enough to know when to stop fight ing,” stated that the men are all glad to egt home, and are very serious in ‘their desire to enter into civil life now that the fighting is over, and the days of peace are at hand.’ Colonel | Duncan also said that he will do all he | personally can to keep in touch with the men of his regiment and encourage them. | There is active effort being carried Jout in Chicago, in an organized way to give employment to everyone of the | Negro soldiers returning home, cORN \ SAVE WHEAT a NOTICE, It is hoped that when the workers for the National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America caf! upon you, you will give:them. the same consideration that was given the workers for the Red Cross, and other such organizations, ag this is the firet time the Negro has had an opportunity to support reat and, much. needed moye- ment, organized, fostered and managed by him » exclusively. and one. that he is to receive all MRS.

Of course, there was no danger of jimcrow legislation by the Missouri general assembly this year and some people are wondering if there is any danger of legislation toward the other extreme. During the past month President Wilson has no doubt heard from the French people that among the most daring and invincible of the American forces were the Negro soldiers, and this will make Mr. Wilson very happy—he is so proud of the achievements of colored folks. The same people who were saying a year ago that the Germans would attack and destroy the city of Paris, are now saying that the booze barons will march down the halls of Congress and throw the defile into the face of National Prohibition. It's astonishing how bright some people are along the line of prophecy. HARVEY'S MINSTRELS Harvey's minstrels are back at the Boyd, giving a bang-up entertainment, to the delight of the crowds that assembled yesterday. The organization is well calculated to revive all the merriment and monkeyshines of the traditional minstrel show, at the same time preserving the modern notions of ragtime and jazz, so that everybody can have a little something as the program rolls along. Clarence Powell and Ed. Tolliver still lead the funmaking, each supreme in his own way, but Frank Kirk, Joe Means and other comedians contribute to the laughter. Kirk's musical act is one hard to equal, and Joe Means' song about "Somebody Done Me Wrong" brings a riot even Bert Williams would be proud of. Little Miss Cannon does a buck and wing dance of the old-fashioned sort that really is a treat in these days when that sort of footwork is seldom seen. In the olio are a number of specialty acts, each worth watching, while the singing is of high order and very enjoyable. The engagement is for four nights, and another matinee will be played on Wednesday—Omaha (Neb.) Bee, Dec. 16, 1918. This company will be at the Auditorium Sunday.

B. F.

Since planting the first apple orchard in Canon City in 1870, he has put out thousands of apple and other fruit trees in this section, and now, in spite of his four score and four years, he still gives his personal attention to his 6O-acre apple orchard, which bears some 25,000 or 30,000 boxes annually. It is an interesting fact that many trees in this orchard, although forty to fifty years old, are still as healthy and vigorous as at five years of age, and fare apparently good for another half century. Unlike “Johnny Appleseed,” that famous but eccentric character of the old Western Reserve of Ohio, who scattered promiscuously along the high- ‘ways and water courses, Captain Rockafellow has planted scientifically with order and system, selecting and developing those varieties best suited to the Colorado climate, Reared in the beautiful Genesee valley in New York, a region famous for its fine apples, he acquired a knowledge of horticulture that has been most useful to him in Inter years. Although spelling his name slightly different from that of the oll king, their relationship is fairly close. A few years ago Captain Rockafellow was elected president of the Rockefeller association of the United States. < Ri . 5 Policeman Is Nursemaid to Mayor’s.

And while it was true that Mr, Hansen was on uty he was positively not on the trall of murderer, robber or other evll- doer.

Americans are the bestlressed people in the world; ordinary men in the streets of New York or Chicazo are dressed with a precision not equalled in any great city of Europe. In Europe, Americans dress rather after their home style than according to the local style. Hitherto Paris has been the world center of women's fashions and London the center for men’s fashions.

The reduction is caused prin- elpally by the curtailment of shipments of food, for payment of which the American credits had been largely used. Total credits extended by the treasury now amount to $8,588,773,000, but only $7,854,816,000 has been actually paidgout under these credits. Greece, Liberia and Roumania have never presented claims for pay- ments. Russia still has $137,000,000 to her credit on the treasury books, al- though she has not applied for money since the revolution. Until congress enacts the pending bill advocated by the treasury to authorize loans to the allies for other than strictly war purposes, officials do not look for much change in the present low rate of demands on the Amer- jean government, One of the effects of the war is that billions now seem as ordinary as did millions a few years ago and no sum seems impossible.

We have consequently secured assur- ances that the existing plants will be operated in conjunction with the system the board 1s contemplating establishing. “The importance of oll fuel to the future of the American merchant marine, I believe, cae be overrated, It means the difference between suc cess and failure, in short.” 7 $$$ ______ IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL (iy Rev, PB, FITZWATER, D.

Their pro- fession of allegiance to God collapsed aS soon as the strong personality of thelr lender was no longer felt 8.

Aaron, like many compro- mising men of this age, opened a door which he could not shut. 4. Wanton revelry (vy. 5, 6). See ing their disposition, Aaron erected an altar and proclaimed a fast unto Je- hovah. He no doubt wished them to worship the Lord through the image, but he had made a god for them and it was a very short step to the heath- en orgies connected with idolatrous worship. Il, God's Burning Wrath (32:7-10).

His plea was based wholly on God's pur pose for Israel. Through his interces- sion God relents, IV. Judgment Falls (82:15-35). 1.

The incomparable Theda Bara at Love's Theatre Sunday. Whole Family Benefited By Wonderful Remedy There are many little things to annoy us, under present conditions of life. The hurry, hard work, noise and strain all tell on us and tend to provoke nervousness and irritability.. We are frequently so worn out we can neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. We are out of line with ourselves and others as well. A good thing to do under such circumstances is to take something like Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills to relieve the strain on the nerves. Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, 82 Plum St, Atlanta Ga., writes: "I have on several occasions been wastily relieved by the use of my medi- cal pills, especially the anti-Pain Pills, which I keep consistently, the use of myself, husband and two sons. Nothing in the world equals them as a headache remedy. Often I am enabled by the use of one or two of the Pills to continue my housework near me, or in bed. My husband joins me in my pain of the Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine." Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are rolled upon to relieve pain, nervousness and irritability in thousands of households. Of proven merit after twenty years' use, you can have no reason for being longer without them. 11 *At all Druggists, 25 doses 26 cents.* *MILES MEDICAL, GO.

The wonderful appeal that is embodied in its declaration of purpose is so strong in its purport that to become imbued with its spirit is but to know its purpose. Kansas City is at this time launching a tremendous campaign, backed by its most substantial citizens, men and women who can be relied upon to give credence to a movement of this kind only when its efforts are in the right direction and along constructive lines. During the past week, a number of developments have been brought about in the interest of a great campaign for memberships which is to be launched March 1 to March 22. All advance indications point to the success of the effort, and the men who have in charge its conduct are feeling much pleased with the prospects for success. Another development of the week has been the addition of a men's committee to the campaign forces. At a conference held the first of the week, between a number of gentlemen, who believed this movement should succeed, Nelson C. Crews, Dr. William J. Thompkins and W. C. Hueston were selected to perfect a men's committee which will outline and direct the part to be taken by the men in the coming campaign. They increased their committee by the addition of the following names: Mr. Fred W. Dabney, Nelson C. Crews, W. C. Huestone, C. A. Franklin, Prof. H. L. Cox, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Mr. Frank A. Harris, Dr. J. E. Dibble, Dr. J. E. Perry, Dr. William J. Thompson, Dr. E. A. Walker, Mr. C. H. Caloway, Mr. Chas, A. Astwood, Mr. M. E. Oden, Rev. W. H. Thomas, Prof. W. H. Harrison, Mr. Eugene Lacy. The women's branch of the work is progressing nicely. A number of the generals have completed the selection of their captains and a number of others are partially completed. A complete list of all of the generals and captains will be published in the next week's issue of the Sun. The interest which is being manifested is just what the cause might be expected to inspire. To know the real purpose of this great organization you must read closely the articles that will be published as a declaration of purpose in this paper from time to time. After having read these, if you have faith in your race, faith in your future prospects and faith in your God, join heart and soul in this great uplift movement and the great army that we are going to mobilize in our drive for future progress and prosperity will march triumphantly to the great goal always reached by the unity of purpose. This great army is being organized that we might work more efficiently under the direction of experts that our aims and ideals may have the force of organized effort. We are no longer going to remain the unthinking mass of human chattel to be bartered and sold on the auction block of social and political expediency, but a thinking and working unit, trained in brain and brawn to lift ourselves to higher standards by the force of our own momentum. You have never failed to respond to the call of your country and history is replete with wonderful testaments of your courage and valor. You have made the supreme sacrifices for the preservation of all humanity. Will you be less benevolent when the call comes from your race and the black generations yet unborn? We believe you won't. We feel that you have heard the call and but await the command to march to victory. LOVE'S THEATRE "THE THEATRE BEAUTIFUL" 24th and Vine Streets.
