Dr. Bundy Thrills Vast Audiences In both Kansas Citys Dr. Bundy Thrills Vast Audiences In both Kansas Citys Dr. Leroy M. Bundy of St. Louis, whose connection with the ill-fated riot that occurred in East St. Louis nearly two years ago brought him much suffering and unenvirable notoriety and who goes to trial next week for his alleged participation in this affair, spoke before a number of audiences in Kansas City last Sunday and gave a thrilling and harrowing narration of the awful crimes perpetrated upon our people in that diabolical cataclysm. He told of the economic and political condition reading up to this horrible tragedy and how he was selected (because he happened to be the leader of his people in that community) to be the scapegoat and the one upon whose head was concentrated all the bitterness* and hatred of the opposite elements who participated in this debauchery of crime. He frankly explained his re DR. WILLIAM H. THOMAS, the popular pastor of Allen Chapel who holds his second Quarterly Meet ing Sunday. lation with the National Association and the causes leading up to the break between them and eloquently as well as pathetically urged his people not to misjudge nor desert him in this his supreme trial. As he rose to magnificent heights of eloquence that swayed his hearers like a tree in a tempest, hundreds gave vent to their feelings. At one moment by shedding tears and at another by frantic and tumultuous applause. No orator in recent years has ever carried an audience so completely with him as did Dr. Bundy last Sunday. At every place he spoke the same scenes were enacted and some who could not control their emotions screamed aloud. Dr. Bundy was met on his arrival by Editor Crews of The Sun and escorted to his home and after removing the stains of all night travel he prepared for his day's itinerary which had been arranged by Messrs. C. H. Calloway, W. C Hueston and Editor Crews. His first appearance was at Allen Chapel, where an audience of more than twelve hundred people confronted him, and after the regular morning service he delivered his first address, which stirred historic and aristocratic Allen as he had never been stirred before. At the conclusion of his address a collection of $222.27 was taken and the people virtually fought QUARTERLY MEETING A big time at Allen Chapel, Sunday, March 16th Dr. F.

YOU ARE INVITED. --- their way down the spacious aisles to make their roffering and to grasp the hand of Dr Bundy and wish him good luck and assure him of their prayers and sympathy At the beautiful Metropolitan Temple in Kansas City, Kansas, Dr Bundy spoke briefly before the Forum at 5 p m and Dr. D. A. Holmes, the brilliant pastor, urged that although it was not the regular services of the Church, an offering be taken, and in response to the eloquent plea of Prof. J. P. King, $52 was given Dr. Bundy. The next meeting was at the Endeavor meeting of St. James A. M. E. Zion Church, presided over by Rev. Dr. Shaw, an old friend of Dr Bundy's father, and although there were only twenty-four people present, $14.10 was given the Doctor to help him in his struggle. The next meeting was at the great Second Baptist Church, where after a fitting introduction by Hon. C. H. Calloway, Dr. Bundy again carried his audience to the heights and was given a collection here of $102. From the Mother BBaptist Church the delegation went to famous St. Stephen's Baptist Church, Dr. J. W. Hurse, pastor, and here they found the greatest surprise of the day. Although it was 10 o'clock, more than 1,500 people had wedged and crowded their way into this edifice to hear Dr. Bundy, many of whom were men and women that had heard each of his previous addresses but seemed to never tire of listening to his thrilling story and matchless eloquence; and when he was introduced by Hon. W. C. Hueston a wave of sympathetic applause led by its loyal and courageous pastor, swept over the building and shook it from center to circumference. Dr. Bundy's recital was followed with breathless interest and here he delivered one of the most heart reaching addresses that it has ever been our opportunity to hear. The people simply could not control their emotions and strong men wept aloud, and when Dr. Hurse called for an offering Dr. D. M. Miller, one of his faithful officers, said, "We must allow no Church in Kansas City to do more for Dr. Bundy than St. Stephens," and when the collection had been finished their matchless leader, Dr. Hurse, placed in the hands of Dr. Bundy $227.25; while a number of people in shaking hands with Dr Bundy handed him sums ranging from $1 to $5. Altogether he received from loyal and sympathizing members of etherance in this city $625.76. The prayers of all Kansas City goes out for Dr. Bundy's acquittal, and on last Tuesday night at historic Allen, Dr. Thomas, who is a leader of his people and stands without a peer in this Western county, had the congregation bow in silent prayer for a few more moments that this splendid young man might receive justice in his coming trial; which means acquittal.

Jenifer of 3430 Vernon avenue, Chicago, Ill., passed away on last Thursday evening. The great prelate was only sick a few days. Dr. Jenifer was among the prominent and noted Negro educators and churchmen of the United States. It was he who built Quinn Chapel Church, corner of 24th and Wabash avenue, and numerous other great projects for the benefit of the Negro people throughout the country.

It is very regrettable that we have in Kansas City a small class of people, known as the "White Folk's" Negro. They are not only a setback and a detriment to themselves, but they are a hindrance and a disgrace to their race as well. This does not simply apply to some of our men but a few of our women as well. The small number of Negro men and women in Kansas City who fall under this head will soon be publicly dead. He cannot withstand the onslaught of the masses of Negroes, for he is against them in their cry for justice. He is against his race for selfish motives and selfish gains. He is also against the dictates of God in opposing the securing of the just rights of the Negro in this country. The "White Folk's" Negro is one who stands with hat in hand and a grin upon his face; he is one who is against any movement started by his people, regardless of its merit and the good it will do his race. He believes that no movement will be successful unless started by White men and he himself acting as their figure-head; that is, with no thoughts of his own, but simply a catspaw and a traitor to his race. What fair-minded Negro is against a movement that has for its object and purpose the securing of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness for his people? What respectable and progressive Negro wants to be "cooped up" in Jim Crow Cars? What intelligent Negro wishes to continue in the loathsome state of disfranchisement which is simply taxation without representation? What red-blooded American Negro wants to continue to see his people mobbed and lynched? Any Negro who is against such a just cause is not fit to hold the public confidence and should be looked upon with contempt and scorn by his fellow-men. Then, one other thing to bear in mind—what would the white people think if they learned that they are Negroes who are base enough to fight a movement that is meant for their own good? It is true that the White Man uses the "White Folk's Negro" whenever he needs him, but deep down in his heart he despises him. No man likes a coward and a traitor, and that is what the term "White Folk's Negro" signifies. Trust not the Negro, big or small, who is against any movement for the good of his people. Shun him and heed him not, for he is dangerous. St. Paul, Minn., March 12.—The bill providing for the organization and equipment for an additional battalion of infantry for the Minnesota National Guards to be composed of Colored men, passed the house by a vote of 72 to 49 and was sent to the Senate where the prospects for its passage are exceedingly bright. Although labor leaders and Socialists are vigorously opposing it the newspapers and business men are supporting it strongly. The Sun acknowledges the receipt from Mr. Virgil H. Franklin of a number of copies of House Bill 15338 introduced by Mr. Madden of Illinois, providing for equal rights, accommodations and privileges for all persons riding on Interstate transportation and prohibiting discrimination. Every Negro in the United States should urge the passage of this bill at the next session of Congress and get behind the National Negro Constitutional Conservation League, which is working towards this very end.

A Woman in the Case, it is Alleged— Churchmen Take Row to Court— Litigant Sends Invitations to the Trial. Detroit, Mich.—St. Matthew's Episcopal church, the most exclusive of Detroit's churches for Negroes, is the center of an altercation that today got as far as the prosecutor's office and the police court. That the exclusive atmosphere of the church should be rigidly maintained, one of the litigants, a woman, sent out invitations to the trial, which was to be held before Justice Sellers today. Formal Invitation. The invitation reads in part: You are invited to attend the trial of Mrs. Binga and Mr. White. Mrs. Binga and Mr. White hope you will all come and hear the truth. And bring your friends. This is how Mrs. Binga and Mr. White are involved: The Rev. Robert W. Bagnall, rector, is accused by some members of his flock of being too friendly with a woman high in the social life of the church. He was tried before Bishop Charles D. Williams and the charges against him dismissed. The Climax. But the incident, unfortunately, did not close there. Sunday, clad in his vestments and preceded by the altar boys, the Rev. Mr. Bagnall entered the church aisle for the processional. As he passed a pew occupied by Mr. John White, according to his story, Mr. White arose and smote him with a blackjack. Greater confusion was caused, says the Rev. Mr. Bagnall, when Mrs. Binga tore his robes from his person, donned them herself and ran into the street, shouting: "Glory to God and down with the peracher." The Rev. Mr. Bagnall swore out warrants—Detroit (Mich.) News, Feb. 27, 1919. Details of a row in St. Matthew's Episcopal church, the most exclusive Negro congregation in Detroit, became public last week, through proceedings in circuit and police court involving Rev. Robert W. Bagnall, rector, and Cornelius White. 616 McGraw avenue, a member of the congregation. White was arraigned before Justice Sellers on a charge of assaulting the rector with a blackjack in the aisle of the church last Sunday week. Hearing was adjourned to March 6. The rector, in turn, was taken to the sheriff's office on a capias obtained by White in a $10,000 suit for alienation of affections. He was released on $100 bail. In his declaration he charges the rector with paying undue attention to Mrs. White. Charges were recently made before Bishop Williams and dismissed. The disturbance of last Sunday week followed.—Cleveland Gazette. THE SPOTLESS KITCHEN. The consummation of things material is divided into two great classes—luxuries and necessities. In the latter class we find food. It matters not how busy an individual may me, in what class he may fortunately or unnately be placed, food becomes no less a requisite. In the establishment of the Spotless Kitchen at 23 West Thirteenth street and the cc umodious annex at 1303 Baltimore avenue, Mr. Martin Young's purposes were to make the business all that its name implied; and to make the food served therein so palatable that once you had been served, you would not only come again. It started in Ohio, then it 'twas next seen in St. Louis, he raved over it. Then it appea headed this way and due to a It started in Ohio, then it bobbed up in South Carolina; 'twas next seen in St. Louis, headed for New York—New York raved over it. Then it appeared in Virginia and now it is headed this way and due to arrive April 4th. Watch this space next week for particulars! but advertise the place to your friends. It is needless to state in this article how well this standard has been kept up but a reporter for the Sun, knowing the many failures made in this line of business by members of our race, has kept a close watch on this growing and now thriving business. We found that under the excellent management of Mrs. Edora Thomas, courteous at all times, affable in the superlative degree and ever alert that each patron may get the best service, the Spotless Kitchen and the Spotless Kitchen Annex had increased their patronage until Mrs. Thomas, the proprietor, finds it difficult to employ sufficient waitresses to serve the immense crowds that throng this establishment. Persons who have herefore scorned the idea of eating in a restaurant have found the meals there served in such an appetizing manner and cooked so wholesomely that they have become regular patrons. Is the Spotless Kitchen a success? Go in there any hour of the day or night and you will be able to answer this question for yourself. Then tell "Kid" as we have told him, "You've got 'em all." The above is the likeness of Mr. N. S. Adkins, Special Deputy of the American Woodmen. Mr. Adkins is loved as a business man by all who know him. NEW OFFICE BUILDING. The apparent need and insistent demand for a modern, up-to-date office building in this city for Colored business and professional men has become so pronounced that a movement is on foot which will be shaped into action next week to organize a stock company to be known as the "Liberty Bond Stockholders' Association" for the purpose of erecting a commodious five-story building which shall have within it a spacious theatre, a large entertainment hall, a number of store rooms, several fraternal halls and a second and third floor devoted to offices. Notices are being sent out to a number of representative men and women asking their opinion and their willingness to co-operate in such a movement, and when the replies have been received the of the meeting will be announced. The Sun stands ready to take $1,000 worth of stock in this commendable and much needed enterprise. Hon. W. C. Hueston, Dr. H. M. Smith, Dr. J. F. Shannon and other leaders are behind the movement. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Wilson were called to Katz, Ky., Saturday night to the bedside of the former's mother, who passed away soon after their arrival there.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1919: Alderman of the City of Chicago and Major General of the Uniform Rank, K. of P., who will be the guest of the Pythians of the two cities at a big banquet next week. LEAGUE OF NATIONS LEAGUE OF NATIONS Advocated by President Wilson, viewed by editors of twelve metropolitan dailies. The South, with the lonesome exception of the Courier Journal is, of course, in the most sympathetic accord with the President. Divergent, witty and spicy opinions are from the East, North and West. March 5, 1919: "The President will return to the United States after the adjournment of the peace conference to lay before the Senate and the people of the country the completed draft of a history-making international covenant, which in the ripened opinion of the Statesman at Paris, will go as far as it is humanly possible for any agreement to go toward outlawing war. Back of the treaty will be the will of the allied powers to establish upon earth an endless reign of peace."—The Plaindealer (Cleveland, Ohio). "Sir (we would say) on your departure for the second voyage in your great mission we join with all loyal Americans in wishing you a prosperous journey and a safe return to your post. The people of this country, true to the traditions and their historic character, detest was. They will go to any reasonable length to eradicate its causes; they will support any safe and sound arrangement providing the guarantees without which the peace to be signed cannot endure. You may confidently rely upon it, and may dismiss from your mind the wholly er- Alderman of the City of Chicago and Pythians roneous impression that who raise the questions respecting the league of nations covenant regard war as either desirable or necessary."—The North American (Philadelphia, Pa.). "The quick finish that has come to the project that President Wilson brought home from Europe was inevitable. It never had a chance of ratification and the Senate has done the world a service by frankly and openly making this clear."—New York Tribune. March 6, 1919.—"It was perhaps well that the President devoted the gist of his speech to the setting in which the Constitution of the League of Nations, as reported by the committee to the conference, had its genuineness, rather than to a discussion of the details of the document and an attempt to answer the objections variously raised against it by those in this country intent on defeating the whole purpose of a league of nations."—Richmond Times Dispatch. "There are the two Mr. Wilsons. Mr. Wilson in Europe is one type of statesman and commander; Mr. Wilson in America is mostly commander."—Los Angeles Times. "Wilson's speech only intensifies opposition in the Senate to League. Republicans are more determined than before that the President must modify his stand against any amendments and express wish to have Europe know that their attitude is reasonable."—New York Herald. "New England is always interested in the thought of Old England, and Boston opinion is always interested in London opinion, although the two thoughts and two opinions have differed more than once. It was the British plan which was accepted at Paris with some amendments. The plans proposed by France and Italy were set aside and no plan was presented by the United States. We be lieve that the good feeling which the comradeship in the war engendered between English-speaking peoples the world over will be jeopardized if the plan in which the Englishmen take legitimate pride, expressed by the London Times—is pressed its present form upon the Congress or people of the United States."—Boston Evening Transcript. "Can the Nations who feel that they have most at stake in the matter trust their defense to the League of Nations as successfully as to their own efforts combined with supporting alliances? If it should prove that they cannot, then it must be obvious that the sacrifices of Armageddon have been a failure, and that the last state of humanity is worse, far worse than any before it. The end aimed at is so vast that sacrifice will be required for every nation concerned. For there is no nation today that can dare to repudiate the moral claim that it is in some measure its brother's keeper. That, surely, is what Mr. Wilson sees." —The Christian Science Monitor, Boston, Mass. R. R. JACKSON, and Major General of the Uniform Rank, I us of the two cities at a big banquet next "William Howard Taft and President Wilson showed that the League of Nations to put an end to war by establishing justice on earth is necessary to human happiness and they showed equally plainly that the covenant of the League of Nations, formed at Paris still subject to modifications is the only practical plan for the establishment of justice among nations."—The Detroit News. March 7, 1919—"John H. Wilson, a Democrat, was elected Wednesday, March 3, 1919, to fill the vacancy by death of E. E. Robins, a Republican, elected last November in an overwhelmingly Republican Pennsylvania district, which has sent only one other Democrat to Congress in the history of the Republican party. J. H. Wilson was elected on a platform approving the League of Nations and urging the voters to uphold the President. "We content ourselves with the affirmation that the result of the election in the 22d district (Senator Knox's own state) proves at least that the speeches of the Republican Senators against the league have failed to carry conviction to the hearts of the voters of that district."—The New York Times. "Me, too."—The Baltimore Sun. "Our neighbor, the World, denouncing the legislative opposition to Mr. Wilson's particular league scheme, speaks of the last ditch Senators who have determined that in no circumstances will they submit to a league of nations." Those Senators who are in opposition to Mr. Wilson's particular league and its particular form are not fighting any and every league good, bad or indifferent, they are fighting a league that is wrong to get a league that is right."—The Sun, New York City—Wm. H. Davenport, Jr. NEGROES MADE GOOD. It was the Marbache sector that the Negro soldiers won from the Huns the complimentary name of "Black Devils." This sector was no sooner taken over by the Ninety-second Division, composed entirely of Negroes, than a series of daring trench raids served notice on the Germans that something new was on the program. Up to that time the Ninety-second never had been in battle. Only one of its regiments had seen a big engagement. The chance for united action came in the Metz drive, and at 4 o'clock in the morning, on the day before the armistice was signed, they were notified to make ready. Ear-witnesses say a statue would have been set smiling by the way those brown fighters echoed the "See it through" slogan of the "Buffaloes" when the call came. They began their advance at 7 o'clock from Pointa-Mousson. Before them was a valley commanded by the heavy guns of Metz and by nests of German machine guns. The Negroes seemed to realize that here for the first time was the great opportunity to show their mettle; that for the first time they were going to battle as a K. of P., who will be the guest of the next week. division. A sense of race solidarity possessed them, uniting their purpose as no amount of drilling could, and they were literally a terrible foe as they plunged forward to Preny. So rapidly did they advance that the list of casualties, considering the rain of shells, was small. Their objective for the day was Bois Frehaut. Picked Moroccan and Senegalese troops of the French, striking for the same point—in an odd competition of Negro races on this day—were the first to arrive. The Germans, seeing what was up, were pounding Bois Frehaut with a heavy fire. It became too hot for the Moroccans and the Senegalese. They weed forced to retreat. Were our Negro fighters really going to "see it thrugh?" The fight was now getting hotter and hotter, for the Germans were bringing their full resistance to bear. The Fifty-sixth Regiment was forced to withdraw, but not until after they had stood up and borne a heavy loss. The First Battalion of the "Buffaloes," commanded by Major Charles L. Appleton of New York, with Nerg occupy commanders and lieutenants, was called upon to hold the Germans at bay while the hard-hit Fifty-sixth retreated. Here, in confronting the enemy with an iron resistance, the "Buffaloes" won their croix de guerre. A little later Bois Frehaut was taken by the Ninety-second. The Germans directed against the place a more murderous fire, but there was no driving out the Negroes. The Stars and Stripes said of this fight: --- "Probably the hardest fighting done by any Americans in the final hour was that which engaged the troops of the Twenty-eighth, Ninety-second, Eighty-first and Eeventh Divisions of the Second American army, who launched a fire-eating attack above Vigneulleus just at dawn on the 11th. It was no mild thing that last flare of the battle, and the order to cease firing did not reach the men in the front line until the last moment, when the runners sped with it from fox hole to fox hole." From these accounts, which provide an ample basis for definite formation of opinion, it is evident that the flag never was better or more bravely served than by the Negro troops who of late have been coming back to the kind of welcome the deserve. But for them and the rest of their race it will be well to remember that service to the flag includes quite as much in times of peace as in times of war, however different its nature. What the Negro soldier has done is proof of the ability of his race to meet an occasion when it rises. For many years that race has faced a need for becoming more useful citizens. Constantly its own leaders have urged moral and industrial progress. The response has been less gratifying than these leaders desired and hoped. Now, with the proud war record of their own soldiers for a spur, American Negroes should determine to go forward at a faster rate than in the past. They have had many and hard obstacles to overcome. Their handicaps have been and still are numerous. But a people that can furnish such fighters is capable of supplying good citizens—honest workers and earnest homemakers. And this duty should not be neglected. -Philladelphia North American. DUDLEY AT THE HOWARD. The Great Comedian Received an Ovation—Howard Theatre Packed to Its Capacity. Mr. S. H. Dudley and his celebrated Darktown Frolics received the greatest ovation of his life at the Howard theatre, Monday night. The day the announcement in The Bee was made that Mr. Dudley and his company would appear at the Howard application was made for tickets of admission, and long before his appearance Monday night every seat in this great theatre was sold. The costumes were brilliant and the acting and singing of the participants were up to date. Mr. Dudley carried the house by storm by his acting. This city is Mr. Dudley's home, and the people gave him a royal reception. There was fun and merriment from the time the curtain was raised to the end of the show. The girls are pretty and their costumes are beyond description. His celebrated mule did some wonderful stunts, and the applause was enthusiastic. There is no actor in this country who commands greater admiration than this great and only promoter of American comedy. There is no actor who creates greater merriment and good feeling among the people that does Dudley and his Darktown Frolics. The crowds were greater than those at the Lafayette Theatre in New York. Those who have not seen this fun-making show should not miss it. The tight rope performance and the acrobatic features were the best that have ever been witnessed upon any American or foreign stage. Mr. Dudley kept his audience in one roar of laughter for over half an hour. His character as a hotel porter was full of laughter. Every seat has been sold up to this evening. It is one of the greatest successes in Mr. Dudley's career.—Washington Bee. Dr.fred Palmer's SKIN WHITENER Is just what your skin needs to make it fair and beautiful.

"That's twice in a week, isn't it?" inquired the other. "Yes," said the one giggling and blushing. "I suppose he'll come three times in the next week?" I suppose so. "And four times the next?"

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. Starts Its Spring Drive for 10,000 Members by May 1, 1919. KANSAS CITY, MO., BRANCH'S QUOTA IS 750. Mass Meeting Thursday Evening, March 20, 8 p. m., at Pleasant Green Baptist Church, 14th and Michigan Avenue. ADDRESS BY PROF. H. O. COOK Every member and friend of the Association expected to come and bring others. Let us pack the Church to hear one who has survived the shells and the gas of the Great Drive against the Huns and has returned to tell the American people of the heroism of the Black boys in France. We have fought for Democracy abroad, let us continue the fight at home until every American citizen has equal rights in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Some Things the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Has Done. The N. A. A. C. P. is the only organization in the United States with ten years of clean record of fighting for the liberty and rights of the oppressed Ethiopians backed and financed by the best white and colored people in America. Thousands of Northern Yankees are helping to support this organization. What are you doing to help your own self to freedom and democracy? You have helped others, now help your own. A few of the big things this Association has done in the past ten years and is at present doing on the job, fighting for the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. Assisted in the State and United States Courts until in 1915 the Supreme Court declared the "Grandfather Clause" unconstitutional. Mr. Morfield Storey, president of this association, filed the briefs in this case; also as counsel in the fight against residential segregation, which was won, the Supreme Court of the United States declaring all such ordinances unconstitutional. Fought for equal treatment of colored soldiers. Opposed segregation in civil service employees' appointments. Raised Anti-Lynching fund of $10,000 to stamp out lynching and mob violence. Present practice to wire governors and send investigator where lynchings oc LABELLE WELY THE ROSE AND HAIR WHAT lesser holding a La accessively prove to can grow hair, be- scalp scientifically, addition of the hair. in the hair may be, how just how and they get seven different the Preparation Knows are any scalp disease and positive You Have Tried the R the LaBelle College you HAIR CULTURE FIRST, be- e about the quality and qua- through mail or at the College.

Many other white men and women gave $25 to $500. What did you give or what will you give to save your own neck? This organization in the past ten years has fought and defeated many bills in Congress which if passed would have affected the colored people everywhere and in every stage of life. If you approve of this work, if you believe in Lincoln's sentiment, "All men up; no man down"; if you wish to continue the fight for democracy at home that 12,000,000 American-born citizens may not have hoped, prayed, fought and died in vain, then join this association for the advancement of colored people now. Find your way to Pleasant Green Thursday evening, March 20. Adv. AN ELEGANT SHOP. Mr. C. J. Nelson, the well known barber of 1616 East 18th street, is determined to lead in the barber business, as is demonstrated by the many additions which he has made from time to time to increase the attractiveness to his patronage. Mr. Nelson has recently received a valuable addition to his force in the person of Mrs. Willa Bridge of Dallas, Texas, who is a skillful and finished artist, also J. H. Anderson, who has built up a wonderful trade since being connected with this thriving business. Mr. Nelson has installed two electric hair cutting machines and undoubtedly has one of the handsomest shops in not only this city, but the entire West. Every comfort and convenience for his patrons has been installed and he has a patronage far surpassing other shops of its size in Kansas City. If you want the best and latest service in an up-to-date shop and by the most skillful workmen call on C. J. Nelson, 1616 East 18th street, and you will never go anywhere else. Dr. W. P.

HESPERIAN ART CLUB. HESPERIAN ART CLUB. The ladies of the Hesperian Art and Social Club celebrated their first anniversary last Thursday with a grand reception at the beautiful home of Mrs. Octavia Johnson. 2221 East Nineteenth street. Forty-five guests were royally entertained with a fine program and refreshments. Several out-of-town guests were present. A beautiful vocal solo was sung by Mrs. Violet Amerson of Houston, Texas. A piano by Miss Ada Draydon of St. Joseph, Mo.; a paper was read by Mrs. Gene Landor of Quindaro, Kansas, subject, "Should Women Be Non-Partisan?" The honor guest was Mrs. A. E. Jenkins, and a standing vote of thanks was extended Mrs. Jenkins for her encouraging and instructive remarks to the club. This club has done quite a bit of charity work in the past year and has also given two lovely beds to the Wheatley-Provident Hospital. The club is also carrying out its motto: "We shall sail, the waves be boisterous." MRS. MATTIE EWING, President. MRS. LUCY VAUGHAN, Vice-Pres. MRS. ADA SEALS, Secretary. Evanston, Ill.-Mme.

She left for Springfield, Ill., where she will also appear in recital. A. Lorcn at One's Own. As Plutarch tells us, "It is well to go for a light to another man's fire, but not to tarry by it, instead lighting a torch of one's own." A torch of one's own! That is a possession worth having, whether it be a flaming beacon on the hilltop or a tiny taper in the window. We cannot tell how far a little candle throws its beams, nor who is laying his course by its flickering light. The most that we can do—and it is also the least that we should do—is to tend the flame carefully and to keep it steady.—Brander Matthews. Bestow Praise Generously. Let us not be misgled with a word of praise or encouragement as far as our own dear ones are concerned. The world will offer them neither—in fact, it cares absolutely nothing about them. Therefore, if we hope to bring out what is worth while in our children, or if we would make them truly happy, we must become their stanch allies. Otherwise, we are playing a losing game and can only look for defeat. Writing Without Punctuation. Chinese do not need punctuation or any other mark. It might be doubtful from the foreign point of view whether a language is possible that has done away with punctuation. The fact is, however, that punctuation is no longer necessary for Chinese. The characters, besides performing a function of their own, take over that also of the period, comma, hyphen, interrogation, exclamation mark, etc. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1419. DR.

Isaiah Stanley is well entitled to be called the champion Asphalt Raker of the World. He is employed by the Kaw Paving Company and on the following date broke all records known. On November 14 he raked fifty-one loads, consisting of 1,428 yards, in seven hours. On the 15th, 54 loads, or 1,460 yards, in seven hours. On the 16th, 61 loads, or 1,708 yards, in eight hours. All of this asphalt was raked two inches thick and twenty feet wide, and was followed up by the inspector with a two-inch gauge and a straight edge, and it was found to be as perfect as was ever raked by eye. Stanley has been in the paving business for twenty-five years, is forty-seven years of age, and lives at 800 Independence avenue, Kansas City, Mo.—Jonesboro (Ark.) Daily Tribune.

Samuel, Company F, 805th Pioneer Infantry, wishes Mrs. Florence Saunders to communicate with him. The following boys of Kansas City, who are members of Company F, 805th Pioneer Infantry, send their best regards to relatives and friends and also state that they expect to be homeward bound soon: Sergt. Benj F. Little, Pivr etasLouis E. Samuel, Richard H. Grisham, Jerry Finch, Stacy Sedardy and Jule Williams. Mr. Philip B. Johnson of the Medical Detachment, 805th Pioneer Infantry, writes: In the face of the struggles, the many divergences, I believe that God is on our side ever guiding us forward to a better day. "Tis needless to quote our historical record for "History moves on in the lathe of time. And Nations rise and fall; But on every inch of the Blackman's page; There's honor in it all." "Twas of the same "blue steel" blood that landed in 1619, bravely fought side by side with America in all her engagements and today stands out in bold relief as genuine 100 per cent American. The boys are all praying that much good may come out of this war for our people and that the supreme sacrifice made by many of our own may not have been in vain." Private James Albert Harris of Company K, 805th Pioneer Infantry, writes: We have lost a large number of the Kansas City boys. I was in the employ of the Owl Company. I would like to hear from my brother-in-law, J. W. Patterson. Kindly give my regards to all my friends. We are having a nice time over here, but we do not forget our Testament. I am in the hospital now, as I got my leg broken, but am getting along nicely." "JUDGE" MAYO AGAIN. "Ex-Judge Mayo of Chicago," who claimed to be here from Gary, Ind., selling lots, raised $1,000 at Shiloh Baptist church on a recent Monday evening, it is said. On the following afternoon he appeared at the church and was paid that amount for lots. The next day, Wednesday, in the afternoon, when he appeared again at the church, as requested, he was arrested and released on a $2,000 ball bond furnished from Chicago, after being compelled by federal authorities to deposit $750 of the $1,000 in a local bank, it is said. This amount was to be returned to the would-be lot buyers, Wednesday of this week, so we wer informed by an officer of the church. The $250 balance, it seems, is to be lost. The "sufferers" also paid an attorney $50, which makes their total loss $300.-Detroit Leader.

Word was received from Fred Boston of the 92d Division that he had arrived safely and was enroute to Camp Funston. Ex-President Taft should be careful. If he does not cease going around chumming with President Wilson and The League of Nations he'll wind up by being appointed a member of the United States Supreme Court. A down-in-the-country citizen with a curious mental clock stopped off in Kansas City this week to interview Woodrow Wilson and Jesus Christ. The former is now in France and the latter has never been in this city. During the meantime the D. J. T. C. C. is in the observation ward of the City Hospital. It does seem strange that if small nations are to be given the right of self-determination Ireland should receive the "I can't" from Wilson and the "No, No" from Taft. Perhaps the Irish are like the Negroes, not worth the counting. The attention of the street railway officials has been called to the annoying habit of the new motormen of passing up waiting crowds of Negro patrons even when the cars are not crowded. Promises have been made that this condition will be immediately remedied. A NEW AMUSEMENT. One of the most wholesome as well as enjoyable amusements that has been established in Kansas City is the new automatic ten-penit bowling alley at 1610 East 18th street, opposite the Gem Theatre. It is owned by Mr. W. F. McCrary, one of our most progressive and energetic young men, and it is for the accommodation of ladies, gentlemen and children. It is really a wholesome amusement, devoid of all the obnoxious features of the usual place of amusement. Soft drinks are served as well as cigars, cigarettes and candies. There are quite a few comfortable seats and the whole family can spend a pleasant hour in social diversion and athletic recreation at Mack's cozy little place. He is deserving of the success he is attaining and The Sun wishes for him continued success on a larger scale. Pay him a visit. S. H. DUDLEY COMING SOON. The big show is coming! S. H. Dudley's Darktown Frolics, with its 40 people, singers, dancers and comedians, and beauty chorus, will be the attraction at the Auditorium, entire week starting Monday, March 24th, coming direct from brilliant successes in every city in which it has played. The attraction is certain to establish new records at the Auditorium for their is a big demand for seats and the management urges those who can conveniently to attend the Monday night performance and avoid any chance of disappointment later in the week. The attraction is positively limited to one week. The Darktown Frolics is one merry riot of mirth and music from start to finish. There are many new song hits, introduced scores of fascinating and dreamy dance numbers and many novelty features offered. Vaudeville, musical comedy, minstrelsy, and jazz are blended into one of the finest entertainments ever offered on any stage. And in presenting the Frolics Mr. Dudley has chosen a cast of artists who are known from coast to coast. Mr. Dudley's own famous jazz band is certain to score a treemendous hit. Critics everywhere have lavishy praised the work of this musical organization and something new is promised to the patrons. The Frolics is presented on a very elaborate scale. There is a carload of scenery used in dressing the various scenes and the gowns and head gear creations worn by the artists are the most beautiful that you have ever seen. Among the many clever artists in the Frolics are Edd West, Willis and Watts. This trio of fun makers will drive away the blues with their new songs and gags. There will be no advance in prices, the usual performances will be given with matinees at 2:30 p. m., evening at 8:30, with special band concerts in front of theatre nightly. Secure your seats well in advance. Classified Wants and Rooms to Rent FOR RENT — Newly furnished rooms at the Kinsler Apts., 14th and Michigan; strictly modern; Bell phone East 5330W.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1919. A TRIP TO ALASKA. By Geo. V. Golden. time is navigable to the Arctic Ocean, taking supplies to the northern forts N. N. C. TR I left Kansas City via Rock Island at 11:15 p. m. Wednesday. The first snow I saw at Mason City, Ia., and from there on to St. Paul there was plenty of snow. The weather in St. Paul was moderately cold, about 15 degrees above. I left St. Paul Friday night for Portal is on the Canadian line. I was required to fill out a slip where I was born, my age, my business for what I was going, my occupation, my nationality, when I expected to return and how much money I possessed; also a medical certificate, and my baggage was examined. Having satisfied the inspector I was permitted to pass. Leaving Portal I traveled on the Canadian Pacific to Moose Jaw, arriving there Saturday at 12:15 p. m. I had seen snow continuously from St. Paul. Leaving Moose Jaw at 1 p. m. I went over the Short Line to Macklin. I got acquainted with the cafe crew and learned that Dude Morris, a very fine gentleman, was running in charge. He used to run a cafe in Omaha and all the older railroad men or hotel men around Kansas City knew him personally. I also met Cowboy Davis as he styled himself, running in charge, and he said that when a waiter is "dead heading" he gets meals, transportation, and sleeping quarters free. Mr. Morris said that there are great opportunities for railroad men and they pay about $81.00 per month to men running in charge. Between Moose Jaw and Macklin I encountered one of those famous snowstorms and intense cold weather. Leaving Macklin I proceeded to Edmonton, Canada, a city of about 75,000. A beautiful city situated on the Saskatchewan river, overlooking the old fort built there in 1790 by the Hudson Bay Company, as its trading post. While in Edmonton I met Ernest Walker and family, formerly of St. Louis. He has a beautiful home, a car, a splendid wife and daughter. He is running in charge for the E. D. & B. C. Railroad. He has two brothers-in-law, Mr. Poston and Mr. Hurt, who are waiters on this road, and are making good. Arch Bishop Washington of St. Mark's Church, was launching a $5,000 drive for a home for the poor and he has the support of the governor and business men of the city. It looked good to me. I saw many Negro returned soldiers and I learned they get $2,000 as a quit claim settlement from the government or can borrow $7,500 for twenty years, the money to be used for cattle raising and farming. Most Negroes are taking the $2,000. This applies to men who have been "overseas" two years or more. Also I met a Mr. Harris of Tulsa, who seemed to be possessed of some worldly goods, who expects to make some investments here. My sister-in-law is in charge of the Y. W. C. A., supported by the white Y. W. C. A. She is doing very efficient work. I have one brother in Edmonton who conducts the Globe Storage and Express Company. The thermometer showed thirty-five degrees below in Edmonton. Leaving Edmonton on the Edmonton, Dunwegan & British Columbia, I proceeded to Peace River, a town of about 1,000 inhabitants. On arriving there the thermometer greeted me with 55 below. There I was with kid gloves, pair of button shoes on, ordinary cap, silk shirt and socks and an army overcoat with a fur collar I put on, and it was the only thing that showed any evidence that I respected the 55 below. Leaving the station I proceeded to walk about three-fourths of a mile where my brother lived. I was very cold walking that distance and the people must have thought I was a lunatic from my garb. Peace River is a very interesting place. It boasts of two weekly newspapers, a hospital, three steamers, moving picture theater, excellent hotels, a million dollar bridge across the river, and they have sunk three oil wells. It is the terminal of this road and it is the tarmart north that any railroad runs in the Province of Alberta, almost in any part of Canada. It is fifty-seven degrees north.

MITCHELL & ABERNATHY Have entered into a partnership to handle Real Estate, doing a General Rental and Sales Business and to Sell Flowers. time is navigable to the Arctic Ocean, taking supplies to the northern forts to the trappers and to the Esquimaux. In this country you have no wind and hardly any rain. I am going to tell you how the people travel to keep warm. When people are out in the cold they wear about three pairs of wool socks, one pair comes almost to the knees. Over them (no shoes on) they wear moccasins. They come up above the ankle. (This applies to rich or poor). They have the very best wool underwear, wool top shirts, fur caps, fur gloves and coats. Most boys for traveling around town have two dogs, pulling a corriole (kind of sled). I traveled thirty miles on a dog sled. (I had plenty of clothes on, I borrowed from my brother) to kill muskrats. We had seven dogs to a carriole. I sat down in the sled and covered up with blankets and furs. Mr. Kelly was driving a dog train. You travel in a trail and these dogs fairly fly. It is great amusement. On reaching the particular place you build a big fire then shovel snow and away and dynamite for muskrats (easier than digging). They fairly come out. After a deal of sport we returned to an excellent dinner at the home of Mr. Allen Kelley. He has a wife and three daughters, 16, 14 and 10 years of age. His wife, Mrs. Alena Kelley, is an excellent lady and all are highly respected. He has a city home, 160-acre farm, three head of horses, six head of registered cattle, two calves and has been employed by the city for five years at $100 per month. In going to Peace River his family and my brother and wife traveled 160 miles by sled and 90 miles of the journey was across Lesser Slave Lake. In winter the Royal Northwest mounted police (the bloodhounds of the North) were the most spectacular and interesting persons to me. I talked with three trappers of the Hudson Bay Company, saw all their equipment, including some of the best dogs of their kind, who go in to the Esquimau and Indian country of the extreme far North to trade with Indians, but the deeds, the valor, the sacrifice and the experience of those mounties are wonderful to listen to. I talked personally to two of the mounties who have buried hundreds of Indians and halfbreds that died of the "flu." also they made the trip to the Esquimau country bringing back two Esquimau that killed a priest and ate his liver. It took them a year to go and a year to come back. They had an interpreter and their lives were at stake. They kept him chained to them and a 46 punched in his side for fear of treachery. They (Esquimau) were tried at Edmonton and sent to the most northern fort for imprisonment. Peace River has two trains a week and I left there on Friday, bringing my brother back with me for medical treatment. He has a wife, two children, a boy $2\frac{1}{2}$ years old, and a girl, 14 months old. They expect to remain there until summer, then dispose of their property and come to Kansas City. I want the hunting men of Kansas City, namely, Messrs. J. A. Jones, Dr. Carrion, Dr. Gid Brown, Bob Smith and others, to understand that there is plenty of moose, bear, ducks by millions in summer time. Large timber wolves, all kinds of foxes and coyotes to be found in this country. There is no such dogs as theirs in this country, and timber wolves are worth $100, black foxes, $1600, silver gray, $800. Take a trip up there to Peace River, then take a boat to Fort Vermillion, thence to Arctic Ocean and spear a few walruses and get the Croix de Guerre for Race Huntsmen. The dining car running between Edmonton and Peace River is in charge of Negroes. Vivian Bond, who used to live in Kansas City, is chef cook His wife is now visiting in Leavenworth. Mr. Coleman is his second and I was served to a splendid dinner by the boys. Archie Hunt sends his best regards to Felix Payne, and others. Canada offers many vast opportunities, especially for railroad men, as the travel is very heavy. There are openings in Negro districts at Atha basca Landing (about 1000) Negroes there. Pouce Coupe, Pigeon Lake and Junkins for Negro doctors and undertakers. Hampton, Va., March 14.—There are 4500 Colored men working in the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. This is the largest force of skilled Colored men and the highest paid group of Colored men working anywhere in industry. The shipbuilding plant is a memorial to Collis P. Huntington, who showed himself a friend to Hampton Institute and the Colored people. The shipyard in Newport News is a testimonial to Mr. Huntington's belief in the Colored man as an industrial worker—a man who would be successful. Mr. Huntington was told by many that it would be impossible to build ships with Negro labor. The ships that we are building are equal to those built anywhere in the world. Some of the Colored men who are working in the Newport News shipyard have been with the company twenty-five years or more. Eight to ten are on the retired list and are receiving from one-third to one-fourth of their regular pay. The successful Colored shipyard workers have built their own homes, have supported their churches, and have helped to develop one of the best Colored sections in the South. Southern Melody Makers at St James Church, 1805 Woodland avenue Monday night, March 24th. N. N. C. C. L. OF A. HOLDS EN THUSIASTIC MEETING. Meeting Held at Paseo Y. M. C. A Wednesday Evening, March 12, at Eight o'Clock. The Mens' General Committee in Ses sion With Women Workers Puts Much "Pep" in Big Mem- bership Drive. Brilliant addresses on the importance of the work of the National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America was made by Nelson C. Crews, W. C. Hueston, Dr. William J. Thompkins, Mr. N. S. Adkins and a number of others at a meeting held at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday night of this week, and those who failed to hear this matchless oratory of the gentlemen on the merits of the organization of the Negro, by the Negro and for the Negro missed a rare treat. The Black Conscientious Objector came in for a wonderful drubbing, and had such a person been present he would have felt very lonesome. The spirited talks of the Women Generals and Captains were full of inspiration. The following letter from Dr. W. H. Madison, which was received by Hon. Nelson C. Crews, was read: Hon. Nelson C. Crews, Editor, Kansas City Sun, Kansas City, Missouri. Dear Mr. Crews: I have read with keen interest and admiration of the movement among the progressive Negroes of Kansas City to join with the forces of the Negroes of other cities in the formation of a Nation Wide Organization for the purpose of bringing pressure to bear that will result in granting to the Negro his Constitutional Rights, I want to assure you, Mr. Crews, that I and the Progressive Negroes of Marshall, Missouri, and Saline County, are heartily in accord with this movement, and I desire to be enrolled forthwith as a member of said organization. Any Negro who is not willing to unite with this general movement (out of which no possible harm can come, but an immense lot of good be accomplished) and to contribute of his time, talent and means is not worthy of the honor of being identified with the Negro race. The privilege of such identification I consider an unmerited gift of my Creator. The Negro has demonstrated to the American White man and to the world at large his ability to be a soldier and a citizen, and his desire to, at all times, defend with all that he possesses, even to his life, the principles of the Federal Constitution, but this one-sided affair (one-sided for the very evident reason that the desire for defense of the Negro's rights is not returned for his loyalty) cannot be expected, even by our Anglo-Saxon brother, to continue indefinitely unless due consideration and just protection are accorded him. The necessity for the Enactment of New Legislation or for Constitutional Amendment as far as the Federal Government is concerned, is of less importance than the Enforcement of Laws and Amendments, notably the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, that already exist. This organization, having for its object such a universal beneficial cause for the Negro, should have the undivided support of the 12,000,000 Negroes of this country, protesting in one voice against further unjust discrimination, Jim Crowism and disfran chisement. Very sincerely yours, DR. W. H. MADISON, Marshall, Missouri. Y. W. C. A. Miss Estelle Lovett, Secretary of our Y. W. C. A., has gone to Louisville to take the course of training for Y. W. workers. She has been called to the work by the National Association and has resigned her position in the city schools. Our city and or association feel complimented that one of our youngest workers should be chosen to such and important work. Miss Lovett carries to her work educational fitness, enthusiasm and high ideals that are so much needed in all who work with the young. It is hoped that she will return to our city as a worker with our young girls. The membership committee met at headquarters Wednesday afternoon. Twelve of the fourteen chairmen were present. All reported regular meetings and membership dues being rapidly paid in. It is suggested that the clubs discuss at their next meeting this topic, "What Things Are Most Needed to Improve Our Community," and that every member be expected to give full and free expression to their ideas. Extension of Colored Work. Several new centers for work among Colored people have recently been opened. At Camp Wadsworth, a former mess shack, has been changed into a hostess house for Colored troops and their women visitors. The Colored center at Chattanooga, Tenn., has moved into new quarters. The Brooklyn Association had the formal opening of its new home early in February. For the Colored girls employed in Cincinnati factories a center has been opened, this making the thirty-first Young Women's Christian Association center for Colored women in the United States. THE TEST OF RACE LOYALTY (An Editorial.) on twenty-seven years since there has been to obtain for the American Negro his just right since the "Lodge Force Bill" went to defender of Congress has there been a direct face of the American people and to the law-ment for the extension to us of the full force of these twenty-seven years, through which we without appeal or protest the causes of labor national prohibition have won national favor instrumental recognition because of the interest which they have plead their right to a heathic opinion. Lesson to be drawn from these facts is: desires an improvement in his condition; so enjoy the real opportunities of liberty; so stand equal as a man before the law wherever in this country, he must the public conscience against his wrongs; before the nation's law-making body forition of his rights of manhood. Time is now! When the whole world is distanced between its races! National Negro Constitutional Conservative of America has been organized to wage and of an intelligent protest that should be present to Congress a petition for the emancipation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the United States. If these two as were enforced jim-crowism, mob-violence,ishment could not exist, for with federal intent of these two articles the penalty for a would be too great. Membership campaign which is now going as City, which will end March 22, is a real royalty of every Negro to the welfare of his rest of everyone of us involved in the such purposes of this organization. Every Negro and who is worthy of better opportunities in the movement and will join the League. Who does not support this movement is You because he is against your chance to better of yourself and your household. Sane, intelligent Negro can oppose the public organization. You can set down any Negro pose them as a traitor to his people. No man is station in life, no matter what has been standing in the estimation of the community whether he be proud in his ignorance or board of college-bred brains, no matter whether apted by envy or jealousy, or puffed up tensions of his own wisdom and importance whether he be a slave to love of prominent men, fawning puppet venting the wrath of our hardy MARK HIM AS A TRAITOR! YOU! He is opposing the only effort that forth in your behalf in twenty-seven years business, don't trade with him, find someone with who is loyal to the race; if he is in a find another man in the same profession that has not lost identity with yours; if he is a skaker," shun him, avoid him as you would test you be contaminated with his traitors. Measure is the test of the "true blue" of the real parasites who are useless and the REAL loyal to your interest and are honestly true that in a movement like this the words of "He that is not with us is against us." It has been twenty-seven years since there has been a national effort made to obtain for the American Negro his just rights of citizenship. Not since the "Lodge Force Bill" went to defeat in 1892 in the national house of Congress has there been a direct appeal made to the conscience of the American people and to the law-making body of our Government for the extension to us of the full benefits of liberty. During these twenty-seven years, through which we have suffered injustice without appeal or protest the causes of labor, woman's suffrage, and national prohibition have won national favor and have received Governmental recognition because of the intelligent persistence with which they have plead their right to a hearing before the bar of public opinion. The lesson to be drawn from these facts is: if the Negro desires an improvement in his condition; if he wishes to enjoy the real opportunities of liberty; if he wishes to stand equal as a man before the law with a man's chance everywhere in this country, he must protest to the public conscience against his wrongs and plead before the nation's law-making body for legal recognition of his rights of manhood. The time is now! When the whole world is discussing justice between its races! The National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America has been organized to wage just the kind of an intelligent protest that should be made and to present to Congress a petition for the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. If these two amendments were enforced jim-crowism, mob-violence, and disfranchisement could not exist, for with federal enforcement of these two articles the penalty for their violation would be too great. The membership campaign which is now going on in Kansas City, which will end March 22, is a real test for the loyalty of every Negro to the welfare of his race. The interest of everyone of us is involved in the success of the purposes of this organization. Every Negro who is loyal and who is worthy of better opportunities will support the movement and will join the League. Every Negro who does not support this movement is YOUR enemy, because he is against your chance to better the condition of yourself and your household. No sane, intelligent Negro can oppose the purposes of this organization. You can set down any Negro who does oppose them as a traitor to his people. No matter what his station in life, no matter what has been his previous standing in the estimation of the community, no matter whether he be proud in his ignorance or boast the possession of college-bred brains, no matter whether he be prompted by envy or jealousy, or puffed up with false nations of his own wisdom and importance, no matter whether he be a slave to love of prominence or the pliant, fawning puppet venting the wrath of others less foolhardy MARK HIM AS A TRAITOR! He is against YOU! He is opposing the only effort that has been put forth in your behalf in twenty-seven years. If he is in business, don't trade with him, find someone else to trade with who is loyal to the race; if he is in a profession, find another man in the same profession whose interest has not lost identity with yours; if he is simply a "knocker," shun him, avoid him as you would the plague lest you be contaminated with his traitorous filthiness. This movement is the test of the "true blue" of the race and will reveal to us all the parasites who are useless and the REAL men and women who are loyal to your interest and are honestly seeking race advancement. Remember that in a movement like this the words of the Apostle Paul aptly apply ':He that is not with us is against us.' (Special to Kansas City Sun) St. Louis, Mo., March 12.—The Poro College Company, of which Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone are proprietors, opened their college to the replacement soldiers of the 369th Infantry last Saturday, and made them welcome. Eleven soldiers who were en route to Camy Funston to be mustered out of service, passed through the city and having a day to remain, were brought to the Poro College by the Rev. Shelton Parr of the Y. M. C. A. The "boys" who were mostly from the State of Kansas, wore the Coirre de Guirre. In the party were Corp. Bert Watts, Corp. Augustus A. Davis, Corp. Eugene Washington, Privates Samuel Mayhew, Walter Hunter, William Glover, Grover Gillespie, Fred W. Cooper, J. W. Essex, Len Richie, Plummer Walker and Eugene Washington. For an hour they played pool in the private poolroom of Mr. Malone's, and at noon were escorted to the main auditorium, where a splendid program was rendered by the Poro College girls. Miss May B. Thomas sang "The Rose of No Man's Land" sweetly and charmingly, and the soldiers were highly elated over the rendition. Misses Keith and Moore sang "Somebody Here Bears a Weary Load" in a pleasing and delightful manner. The whole college sang as the soldiers marched in "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground, Boys." It was an inspiring occasion. Cary B.

They related in detail the bravery, heroism, daring and courage of the 369th Infantry. Told of how the "boys" of their regiment went "over the top" and incidentally how some of the Southern white officers treated them. Tears came to the eyes of the young women who heard how their brothers in blood were treated, but the soldiers said "The Old Flag never touched the ground." Following the addresses Mr. and Mrs. Malone extended them a warm welcome, threw the building open to them for the afternoon. The soldiers were surprised when they were escorted to the dining room where a feast, a real old-fashioned dinner, was prepared for them. Mr. and Mrs. Malone received a letter yesterday from Prof. W.

Mr. Smith has given me the privilege of bringing this matter before you. He tells me he is getting to be an old man and is tired of the life he has lived for so many years and he realizes if death calls him as he stands now, his soul will be lost. Will those who are in sympathy with the man pray this week that God will change his heart. Your sister in Christ, MADELINE TAYLOR, 1723 Sidney St. IN MEMORIAM.

The flowers of my home are gone 'to the bright, celestial shore beyond, I grieve at their departure for their places I never can fill; Altho I must not murmur, it was God's holy will, Home is not what it used to be. for I have not the smiles of my dear ones to see; But in saddest moments one happy thot holds sway, I will meet my loved ones some sweet day.
