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.

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.

Kansas City, Mo. EIGHTH GREAT RECEPTION. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 20.—The most gigantic and wonderful public demonstration ever held in the city of Chicago, took place Monday when the 370th Infantry, the old Eighth Illinois, was welcomed home by the populace. It is not the word of an enthused individual patriot, but the published expression 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 newspapers 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 editorials announced and welcomed the dusky heroes who achieved undying fame on the world battle fields of France. Let it be thoroughly 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 district. Business was suspended everywhere, and the enthusiasm of all the people showed without doubt that Chicago, with its great cosmopolitan population, 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 opportunity in the United States is opened at all hazards. The men were attired in full military equipment, with steel helmets, rifles, cartridge belts, and the para-phenalia with which they chased the Germans back across the Hindenberg 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 men have been demobilized, the fighting men have returned home with the same grim determination to enter into civic life that they used in chasing the Huns back into their own country Capt. Lewis E. Johnson, an attorney in civil life and the man who built the first great Negro Y. M. C. A. in this country at Washington, expressed the sentiment of the men when he said: "We intend to get into political and civic affairs, and we are determined to be heard. We sacrificed that democracy might be made safe, and we are going to have some say in seeing how the game is carried on at home." Leut. Col. Duncan, the man of whom it was said: "He didn't have sense enough to know when to stop fighting," 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 out in Chicago, in an organized way, to give employment to everyone of the Negro soldiers returning home. EAT CORN SAVE WHEAT It is hoped that when the workers for the National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America call upon you, you will give them the same consideration that was given the workers for the Red Cross and other such organizations, as this is the first time the Negro has had an opportunity to support a great and much needed movement, organized, fostered and managed, by him exclusively, and one that he is to receive all the benefits therefrom.

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.

DENVER, COLO. STORIES of AMERICAN CITIES Colorado's "Johnny Appleseed" Kin of Oil King CANON CITY, COLO—Capt, B. F. Rockafellow, "the Johnny Appleseed" of the Arkansas valley, has a splendid cottonwood tree, the largest specimen of its kind standing in Canon City, which he has seen grow from a tiny sprout planted in his garden in 1872, to its nificent specimens, he is better known as the "father of the apple industry" in the Canon City district. 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 60-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 are 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 highways 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 later 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. Policeman Is Nursemaid to Mayor's Pet Spaniel Policeman Is Nursemaid to Mayor's Pet Spaniel CHICAGO.—A member of the fourth estate, trekking northward in the gloaming, encountered at Belmont avenue and Broadway a minion of the city law, arrayed in the customary habiliments of his calling—blue uniform, With which he engaged the policeman in conversation and learned that his name was Jens Hansen of the Town Hall station. He also learned that as a dog expert he was a zero. The canine which was leading Mr. Hansen about was a cocker spaniel. And while it was true that Mr. Hansen was on duty he was positively not on the trail of murderer, robber or other evil-doer. He was acting in the capacity of nursemaid to the dog. Mayor William Hale Thompson is the owner of the dog, and Mr. Hansen, detailed from Town Hall to guard the mayor's home in the Chase apartments, 3200 Sheridan road, performs as part of his duties those of wet nurse to "Cocker." "Well," queried the reporter, "how do you like the job?" "Oh, all right," said Mr. Hansen. "Cocker's not a bad sort. A bit temperamental at times, but we get along. I'm taking him out for his nightly constitutional now." Cocker now manifested a desire to continue his evening stroll and the two departed. The fourth estater resumed his trek, cogitating the happy lot of at least one Chicago dog—a full-grown policeman at $115 a month for a guardian.

Mr. Hensel, himself a chicken fancher, was recently guarding the residence and chicken coop of Mrs. Capt. William A. Moffett when some mauruder invaded his own coop and cleaned it.

They entered the coop. The squawks by now had ceased. The reason was apparent. Each of the 17 Rhode Island Reds was dead. They had squawked their last squawk. Investigating the surrounding terrain and coop interior for finger prints or footmarks they discovered evidence that the assassin belonged to the ungulata and not the hominidae class of mammal.

The wife, who is now living with Booth's two children as "Mrs. Smith," at Fullerton, is just as philosophical. "I heard Miles had been killed and went in mourning for him," she said.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 22. 1919 Copyright Andrew A. Andrew A. TWO-COLOR BLOUSES OF GEORGETTE CREPE A The land of the negligee is the land of perpetual summer that may be found within four walls inclosing a steam-heating apparatus, or in other walls that look out upon summer skies. The negligee is no respecter of climates; it insists upon being colorful and powerful and enchantingly suggestive of spring zephyrs and garden paths, whatever its enirohment. It is an inspiration, an invitation to leisure and idle hours, a happy change from ordinary work-a-day clothes. Every woman should do herself a kindness by adopting a pretty negligee as a playmate. It will put her in a pleasant frame of mind. Usually these fanciful garments are made of sheer and soft materials as lace, georgette, chiffon and fine mulls, that float about the figure no more burdensome than the air and not very "long" on protection. Crepe de chine and very thin wash silks make negligees a little bit heavier and equally soft and becoming. The same gay TWO-COLOR B OF GEOF The blouse of georgette crepe needs no one to sing its praises. This exquisite fabric is a permanent acquisition, and has made a place in the esteem of women that it will be difficult to usurp. But we are grateful to the blouse makers who have turned their talents to designing new styles, in which two colors, instead of one, are used. This color combination leads up to new trimming ideas and lends an added interest to incoming styles in spring blouses. Along with the two-color blouses comes thread embroidery, more-strongly featured this season than ever. In the picture above a blouse of light and dark georgette is shown, with light and dark heavy embroidery silk making a rich decoration for it, in an embroidery that is quickly done and is not heavy. Any two colors that harmonize may be used in these two-color blouses. Favorite combinations are beige and navy, cerise and navy, coral and ivory, black and white, gray and rose, purple and champagne, American Beauty and navy, or cherry colors are used for these. One of them is shown in the picture made with an accordion-plaited skirt of light pink crepe de chine and a short kimono of the same material. This kimono is true to form so far as its embroidered wild roses and rose foliage are concerned, but it departs from the original Japanese model, having fronts that lengthen into a girdle that ties in the back. Its neck and front edges have folds of georgette crepe set in, and a border of narrow black ribbon. The ribbon follows the girdle to the end but the plaits stop at the waistline. These folds of georgette with the band of black ribbon make a pretty finish for the flowing sleeves. The skirt of this negligee is long, as is the rule with negligees. It might be even longer. Satin slippers go well with it, but there are many lovely, fancy boudour slippers of ribbon or other materials to choose from, since a negligee must have footwear of its own character to go with it. LOUSES RGETTE CREPE and navy, the last being the Victory colors. The blouse pictured is in the slip-over style, but it fastens on the shoulder. A panel of the, dark georgette at the back and front is split into two panels at its lower half and serves as a background for the thread embroidery. The sleeves have deep cuffs of the dark georgette and a flare at the bottom finished with a band of the dark crepe. A pretty finish for the round neck is made by twisting the light and dark embroidery silk together in a rope of which loops and ends are made and placed at the front of the neck. It will be noticed that the belt of the skirt worn with this blouse sets below the normal waistline and is fitted about the figure. This gives a new long waist which appears to be making headway as a feature of spring styles. Julia Bottomley HEARD and SEEN at the CAPITAL "Americanization" of Europe Because of the War WASHINGTON.—Thoughtful observers abroad of a philosophical turn of mind are predicting a considerable "Americanization" of Europe as a result of the great war. Points made by them include these: Millions of language”—idioms, quick turn of phrases, unusual sentences to fit emergencies, sparkling verbal humor. The English, however, will not accept either the American intonation or pronunciation. Baseball may become popular, but the British will not supplant cricket with it. Men may take the place of women as barkeepers in England. There will be a greater market than ever for American plays. The British theater will remain as it is, with its buffet, lounge, cardroom and other conveniences. Europe will likely adopt many American dishes. There is a longing for grapefruit for breakfast. Buckwheat cakes are liked wherever tried. Broiled chicken, corned beef hash and waffles have an appeal that cannot be resisted. American bacon, however, is not popular in England; it is too salty. Americans are the best-dressed people in the world; ordinary men in the streets of New York or Chicago 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. There is likely to be a rage for certain American articles of attire. Perhaps in Paris and London signs will be seen, “The latest from Fifth avenue.” In the industrial world American efficiency has taught Europeans so many things that the effects are beyond estimate and enumeration in reasonable space. Hun Helmets Prizes in Next Victory Loan Drive REPORTS from American headquarters in Germany show that 40 warehouses and barracks in the Coblenz region, crammed with millions of dollars' worth of war materials, abandoned by the Germans, will revert to rials range from needles and songbooks to huge guns, locomotives and shells. The salvagers have begun shipping the best of them into France, including a trainload of machine guns, ammunition and accessories. Army officials hold the opinion that much of the stuff is not worth shipping space to the United States. Disposal of goods that are usable and yet not valuable enough to transport across the Atlantic is uncertain. Possibly they will be sold to France. Materials that cannot be sold will be destroyed. From 60,000 to 70,000 German helmets are being loaded on freight cars for shipment to the United States to be distributed as prizes in connection with the next Victory loan campaign. The shipment consists of cavalry officers' bright steel helmets and Prussian guard helmets, all of fancy design and most of them spiked. These have been in great demand by souvenir hunters. This spoil is none too large, judging by the demands upon congress from every part of the country for trophies. Cannon or field pieces are preferred, but trophies of any kind are better than nothing. Uncle Sam's Allies Are Asking Smaller Loans Uncle Sam's Allies Are Asking Smaller Loans AMERICA'S job as banker for the allies was lighter in January than at any time since the nation entered the war. Only $170,000,000 was paid out as loans to the allies up to January 25. Credits established and payments made were reported as follows: icply 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 paid out under these credits. Greece, Liberia and Roumania have never presented claims for payments. Russia still has $137,000,000 to her credit on the treasury books, although 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 American 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. Oil to Supplant Coal in Our Merchant Marine PLANS looking to vastly increased use of oil fuel by American merchant vessels have been developed at conferences between heads of the larger oil producing interests, ship owners and representatives of the shipping board. chiefly necessary is complete co-operation of the various enterprises and interests concerned, and during the last few days we have succeeded in reaching an understanding, I believe, with the oil producers preliminary to proceeding further. "It would be manifestly uneconomic to establish new bunkerage facilities in ports where they now are available, and yet it will be necessary to widen the facilities for oil supply to vessels. We have consequently secured assurances that the existing plants will be operated in conjunction with the system the board is contemplating establishing. "The importance of oil fuel to the future of the American merchant marine, I believe, cannot be overrated. It means the difference between success and failure, in short." American soldiers have brought the stamp of American personality to Europe. The work of material reconstruction for years to come will bring to Europe thousands of Americans of force and individuality. There will necessarily be an increasing assimilation of American ways. An indication of what is coming is the fact that the women of Europe have already fallen in love with the American soldier. There will be a certain percolation of what may be called the "American language"—idioms, quick turn of phrases, sparkling verbal humor. The En- the American intonation or pronunciation.

SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC—The value of intercessory prayer. Less than six weeks have elapsed since Israel took the oath of allegiance to Jehovah. In less than forty days they flagrantly break the first and second commandments. 1. The Golden Calf (32:1-0). 1. Moses' delay (v. 1) This they interpreted to mean that their leader had either lost his way in the darkness or had perished in the fire that hovered over the mount. 2. The people's demand (v. 1). They demanded of Aaron that he make them a god to go before them. Their profession of allegiance to God collapsed as soon as the strong personality of their leader was no longer felt. 3. Aaron's cowardly compliance (vv. 2-4). He was an eloquent man, but lacked moral courage. Many today can talk fluently, but vacillate before the real issues of life. In order to gain time with the rebels he demanded that they cast off their jewelry and bring it to him. Perhaps he thought that their love for it would cause them to forego their demands, but they cheerfully gave up their jewelry for a false god. Aaron, like many compromising men of this age, opened a door which he could not shut. 4. Wanton revelry (vv. 5, 6). Seeing their disposition, Aaron erected an altar and proclaimed a fast unto Jehovah. 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 heathen orgies connected with idolatrous worship. II. God's Burning Wrath (32:7-10). God's nature is such that he cannot tolerate a rival. No gods shall be before his face. The rival must be removed or the people must be consumed with divine wrath. God does not own them as his people, for they had cast him off. III. The Mediation of Moses (32:11-14). The declaration of a divine purpose to destroy the Israelites did not deter Moses from making intercession for them. What was his threefold plea? (vv. 11, 12, 13). Moses knew full well that the people deserved to die, therefore he could not plead any merit on their part. His plea was based wholly on God's purpose for Israel. Through his intercession God relents. IV. Judgment Falls (32:15-35). 1. Moses broke the tables of testimony (vv. 15-19) emblematic of the breach of their covenant with God. 2. Moses destroyed the image (v. 20) and made the people drink of the water which contained its dust, thus making them to experience in a physical sense the bitterness which results from sin. 3. Moses showed Aaron that he was inexcusable for his part in the disgraceful affair (vv. 21-24). 4. Moses called for those who would take a stand for the Lord to gird their swords and slay all who stood out in rebellion. The tribe of Levi ranged themselves on his side and became the instrument by which God chastened his people (vv. 25-29). 5. Moses confessed the great sin of the people and begged that God would forgive them. He was willing to suffer the punishment himself, if possible, and let the people go free. The Lord declared to him in answer that every man should bear his own sin (vv. 30-35). V. The Covenant Renewed (33:1-4-9). 1. Moses' commission renewed (Ch. 33). 2. The second tables of the law given (34:1-9). In the giving of these tables he reiterated God's justice, but gave particular emphasis to his mercy. "The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and fourth generation." Oh, do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.—Phillips Brooks. Fellowship.

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.
