BURRIS JENKINS A MAN THEO. DRURY TUESDAY NIGHT AT ST. JAMES, 1805 WOODLND SOME SHOW AT LOVE'S THEATRE THIS WEEK "A HEART AND A SOUL" The Inspired Motto of the Kansas City Post is Being Fully Demonstrated Each Day by Its Matchless Editor, a Humanitarian, a Christian Gentleman and a Man Dr. Burris A. Jenkins. A Committee of Kansas City's Most Distinguished Citizens, with Dr. Burris A. Jenkins as Chairman, Selected by Mayor Cowgill to Thresh Out the Acute Residential Race Problem that Has Developed in This City. PEACE MUST PREVAIL IN OUR CITY. The acute race problem that has hung like a threatening cloud over the buying of homes in certain sections of our city, has caused a great deal of anxiety as well as bitterness on the part of both white and Colored people and in view of the many threats made and mass meetings held by the white people in the disputed territory, the conservative and representative Negroes the Mayor and representative white citizens as to what steps should be taken to prevent any clash between the races and to preserve the splendid reputation of Kansas City as one of the most progressive and law-abiding cities in the West. The following Editorial in that most courageous and representative newspaper of the Middle West, the Kansas City Post, gives the crux of the whole contention and we gladly reproduce it by consent of its splendid and beloved Editor, Dr. Jenkins: The population of Kansas City is expanding rapidly. With it is expanding the Negro population. Now, the expansion of population is like the expansion of compressed air or steam. It must have an outlet. To try to combat it and hold it in its futile. It will blow the lid off or ti will smash out the sides. Be better in wise in time and arrange for safe and natural outlets for all kinds of increasing population. More than that, they have a The Negroes have a right to live. More than that, they have a right to sanitary homes, healthful homes, safe homes. To talk about combating this expansion with Ku Klux Klans and dynamite is not only talking anarchy but arrant nonsense. The public sentiment of this town will not stand for the use of dynamite nor lawless procedure of any kind in connection with this question any more than it will in the matter of strikes. This town wants to be law-abiding, and it will be law-abiding. Any man who takes the law into his own hands, whether striker, Ku Klux, or bolsevist, will run slap bang up against the machine gun of public opinion. Now, cut out all such talk and get to work like sane business men on the solution of this problem of the expansion or population. The way to get at it is by the appointment of a committee of the wisest business men among the whites and another committee of the wisest business men among the Negroes. Let the two confer and work out a solution. The mayor should appoint this committee and should himself be a member of it. There is much vacant property in the district already recognized as the Negro district. There is other property which can be acquired without protest from any direction. There is still other property to which foolish old restriction clauses apply, put in by property holders who thought they were wiser than the future, whose titles can be quieted and so the property be made available for this purpose. There is always a way to solve any problem when there is an honest will. The situation is becoming acute; steps must be taken at once. Let the leading men in both races take warning in time. Let this committee be appointed by the Mayor and get to work on the job. In pursuance of this clear concise statement of conditions, Mayor Cowgill called a committee composed of the following distinguished citizens, leaders in the civic, financial and professional life of this city: Burris A. Jenkins, Chairman; R. A. Long, Judge Ralph S. Latshaw, W. T. Kemper, Judge J. M. Johnson, Geo. H. Edwards, Henry M. Beardsley and Herbert V. Jones, who met the committee selected by the Colored people, composed of Dr. J. E. Dibble, Rev. William H. Thomas, Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, Lawyer C. H. Calloway, Rev. J. W. Hurse, Prof. J. E. Herriford and T. B. Watkins, and a thorough discussion of conditions and causes leading thereto was had and plans laid for future conferences. There are a few fool Negro carpet baggers and irresponsible blather skites among out people that must be suppressed and kicked out of our Councils if we are to have the confidence and respect of the leaders of the other race and it is imperative upon the part of the Negroes of this city that this class of incendiaries be effectively throttled.

Don't forget the great fraternal drama, "Damon and Pythias," Auditorium Theatre, May 15-16. --- The Kansas City Sun BY ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS. Washington, D. C., April 17.—Washington public schools, always the center of turmiol and controversy, have added a new chapter to the long list of sensations, in the recent trial of a white man whose "artistic taste" required the use of beautiful high school girls to pose for him in the nude. It has been brought out in court proceedings that this "artistic gentleman" was aided and abetted not only by the white aristocracy of the capital city, but also by two or more Colored teachers. So indignant have the parents become over the trend of events that they met at Metropolitan A. M. E. church and formed an organization which will meet weekly and take active part in bettering conditions. The temporary officers are Mrs. F. S. Tanner, president; Mrs. Erma Amso, secretary. Tickets for Damon and Pythias, to be given at Autorium Theatre May 15-16 can be secured from Mrs. Bessie Mason, 1610 Euclid avenue. Bell phone East 1842.

More than 1400 Persons Sat Spellbound by the Matchless Eloquence of Dr. Wm. H. Thomas. How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come—1 Cor. 15:35. "The Resurrection Body." Easter will mean more this year to the world than what it has ever meant since the first century. Do you ask me why? I answer, there are so many war bereaved families. So many families where disease and death have broken the circle. It was just the other day that death was a subject in which we were not interested. But in the last four years death has entered fifteen million homes. So that in millions of homes this Easter day death is not an ideal subject relating to the future but a burning subject REV. WILLIAM H. THOMAS, D.D. REV. WILLIAM H. THOMAS, D.D., who is as popular in his sixth year as pastor of Allen Chapel as he was at the beginning of his pastorate, as attested by the fact that nearly two thousand people crowded historic Allen Chapel last Sunday to hear his matchless Easter Sermon. relating to the present. Many a family has received a short, tense message which cut into their very souls, announcing the death of a boy, who only a few months previously had left them vigorous, strong and full of hope, and the question which they are asking today is: Shall I meet with my loved one again? Easter is an answer to that question. "For now is Christ risen from the dead and is become the first fruits of them that slept." The doctrine of the resurrection is not a mere symbol of immortality, but it is a historic fact. It is as much a fact as the birth of Christ, the burial of Christ; if His death was a fact, so was His resurrection. He whom they took down from the cross on Good Friday and laid in the tomb did on the morning of the third day come forth from the tomb the conqueror of death, hell and the grave. To the bereaved and sorrowing Easter comes as a harbinger of comfort and hope. This, the day above all days, that throws a light into the grave, that drives away the darkness and dread from that place where we bury away the sight of our Christmas time is more loved by children and youth, but Easter Day is dear among all other high days to the nature and thoughtful who have "loved and lost," and they are asking this question. "How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?" When a man dies, it seems as if this at least were the end of the body. The body returns to the earth as it was, but to die' is to be sown. What happens to the grain of wheat that is sown? Why it decays "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone." And death to the Christian is like the sowing of the corn of wheat. Except a man fall into the ground and die he abideth alone, but if he fall into the ground and die, he brings forth much fruit. Man's full development depends upon the experience of death. How do we know this? Because Christ arose from the dead. "How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come? Why, if you sow wheat it raises wheat. If you sow barley it raises barley. God gives to every organism a body appropriate to its nature. All flesh is not the same flesh. There is one kind of flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial. There is one glory of the sun, another of the moon and another of the stars; for one star different from another in glory, so also is the resurrection of the dead. Yes, there is the terrible fact of bodily decay. Dead bodies turn to dust and that dust is scattered to the four corners of the earth. Of what avail will the resurrection body be to if it is not the same body which I have loved and cared for in this life? But Paul asserts that the body which shall rise from the grave shall be of the same likeness as the body sown. It will be the same as to identity. The truth is, our bodies are renewed every seven years and a man who has lived to be 49 years old has had seven different bodies, and yet at every stage of life he has been the same man, whether the change has been made by slow growth or instantaneously, he knows not, but he is conscious of belong the same man. And so the body that is sown is not the body which shall be; but the new body shall be like the old body in this, that it shall be adapted to the requirements of my present life, so will the resurrection body be adapted to the requirements of my future life. "It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incursion, for flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." Do you ask: "How are the dead raised up and with what body do they come?" I answer, "It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory, it is sown in weakness, it is raised in glory. It is sown a natural body. It is raised a spiritual body." What the spiritual body is in essence, we do not know, but it is clear, that if the natural body is a body dependent upon physical means for its life, so the spiritual body will depend upon spiritual means for its life. "How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?" Man is not a body, but a soul, that uses a body with its thorns and delicate strings. The body falls, but the soul lives on, and one soul lived so triumphantly as to make this experience certain to all who love him. Jesus could not be holden of death. And when he rose from the dead, he did not mean it to be an isolated experience, an experience apart, separated from the rest of humanity. No, he meant to be the first fruit of them that slept. God is not a God of the dead, but a God of the living. And the way to find our dead is not through some Witch of Endor who never knew them, but who has some queer gifts which we cannot explain or understand. No, the way to find our dead is not by material means, it is by live. How did the disciples come into communication with the spirit of their dead master. Did they visit some strange woman, who seemed at times to have flashes of insight about their clothes and attitude and gestures. No, they made use of mediums or sittings. They simply went back to the countryside which he loved, took the walk he liked to take, talked about the things he was interested in and, to them, found their hearts burning within them which told them afterwards that they had in His presence. Are you asking this Easter Day: How can I find my dead? Where shall I go to meet them? I answer, do the things which I loved to do. Read the books which they loved to read. Listen to the music which they enjoyed. Think the same thoughts. Pray the same prayers, visit the same place and in these regions of the spirit you will commune with your dead, even the disciples communicated with Jesus as they walked from Jerusalem to Emmaua that first Easter Day. The Easter message then is this: "Solve with the people around you now that you may be able to find them here after." Heaven is here. It is not far away. It is just the other side of the visible. Our loved ones are no dead. They live in, in our home in the churches, in memory. I never visit the home of my boyhood day without thinking of my dear死友. The dead are living, more true than we are, that at a certain hour every night the murdered woman's spirit could be seen and her cry of anguish could be heard. The superstition grew so that nobody would live in that house. People even avoided the street at night. Finally a godly man decided he must put a stop to this superstition, so he went to the house and night after night for one week he slept in that house and then went about the streets smiling and saying: "There is nothing in that house to fear; I have had seven nights of sweet sleep in the haunted room. On the first Easter morn Christ came forth from the tomb, and by His coming he has said to the world, fear not, I have slept in the tomb called death and there is nothing to fear. Fear rather the deeds done in the body, lest they bar you from life eternal, with "our Father Who art in Heaven." "If ye then be risen with Christ seek those things which are above." The Easter story charms and thrills the heart of every true believer. It has inspired may a voice to sing and many a heart to pray. I love to tell the story, For some have never heard The message of salvation From God's own holy word NEGRO ATTORNEY KILLS SELF. NEGRO ATTORNEY KILLS SELF. Learning that he was going blind, McCants Stewart, a Negro attorney, scribbed a note of farewell and shot himself in the head, Monday night, in his office at 381 Bush Street. His body was found on the floor by business associates yesterday morning. The weapon he used lay on the floor beside him. On his desk lay the note: "I am going blind. My sight is gone. I can't see to read. Poon Mac. I can't stand it any longer, so I cashed in." Stewart was forty years old, a son of McCants Stewart, the former Attorney General of Liberia, and a graduate of the College of Minnesota. He is survived by a widow and 14-year-old daughter, living at 2544 Sutter Street.—San Francisco Chronicle, April 16th. 400 DISCHARGED SOLDIERS RE CEIVE $500.000 BACK BAY Nogales, Ariz, April 11.—Four hundred discharged Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, carrying in their pockets upwards of $500,000 back pay, left here on a special train over the El Paso and Southwestern Railway for St. Louis and Chicago, where they will return to civilian life. It had been intended to send the soldiers over another route, according to Col. A. P. Carnahan, commanding officer, but after announcement to this effect was made it was reported that a band of gamblers were lying in wait at a Southern Arizona point to board the train, and the soldiers suddenly were switched to the El Paso and Southwestern. A PLUCKY NEGRO COLONY In 1911 when Dearfield, a Negro colony in Colorado, was startled the acres that now are farmed were bare waste, dry and desolate, coverede with sagebrush and the bones of cattle and buffalo. Gophers and prairie dogs flirted their tails on its mounds, coyotes chattered and jeered on its hills. There were no houses, no fences, little grass, a desert as far as eye could sweep. Newcomers were heartstick and many tears were shed, tears of loneineiness and almost of anger that they had come at all. Few had a vision of what the lands would produce; these few had a task to impress their vision on the others. That as many remained as did remain was due to the fact that they were too poor to get away. For the most part they were "tenderfoot homesteaders." Of the sixty men on the field now, only seven were originally farmers. They were Pullman porters, barbers, clerks, manchants, professional men—anything but agriculturists. Every step was to be learned, and every step agricultural was to be hard "dry-farming." No irrigation was or is possible. In the fall of 1917 the colonists as a whole had their first marketable crop. This consisted of potatoes, beans, corn, watermelons, cantaloupes, pumpkins, squash, onions, turnips, cabbage, tomatoes, oats, rye, alfalfa and native hay. The year of 1918 added new life and inspiration to the farmers, their marketable crops and acquired stock exceeding in value $50, 000, in addition to the supplies needed to carry them over.—Southern Work man.

ADVERTISE IT IN THE SUN PRICE, 5c. MAN 05 WOODLND VEEK # FRANCE, THE INSPIRING. William H. Dawley, Jr. Let France despair not, for in the word of the much enduring Trojan Aeneas, "O ye who have suffered deeper wounds, God will put an end to these horrors also!" All America has not forgot there is a people whose ancestry was warmed by the rays of the sun that brightens teh time worn pyramids, whose hearts beat, forgetful of injuries, but not of favors, whose assets are well nigh limited to silent but fervent prayers to the God of loving kindness as well as battles. This people's prayers are thine. When the sepulchre of His Holy Son was in danger, He knows who it was that recked not the cost but flew to the rescue. When your fair fields were overrun by an enemy from across the channel was it not He that sent the girl a deliverer? When a distant people, young, helpless, but fraught with destiny, were hopelessly trying to cast off hurtful shackles, does he not know who it was that unsolicited beeded their cry, burst their bonds, but disregarding the deadly wound entailed, accepted no land, no money, no recompense, save good will; not only at once returned home, but later, single handed amid tremendous odds, won for himself and offered to the world "liberty, equality and fraternity." Despair in LaBelle France; stand firm, as at the Marne, be unafraid. That is the heartbeat of 12,000,000 souls whose skin is not white; yet other Americans are with you in your sad plight. They blush with shame when you uncomplainingly need bread and ideals of stone are forced down your throat. Ah! We rejoice that that country that you forbush without promise or hope of reward to free another country turned to your need and compelled that other country to come also. The God that was with you at Rheims in the 15th century will not forsake you at Rheims in the 20th. LIEUT. HOMER B. ROBERTS who achieved the greatest distinction of any Negro soldier going from the West, enlisting as a private and being discharged with the rank of captain, all of which honors he won by merit and ability. (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, April.—Chicago has been visited this spring by an unusual wave of crime. In several instances, where robberies have been committed it has been reported through the daily press that the victims declared that the "robbers were Negroes." Three " colored" men stepped into Adam Streit's grocery, when he was alone at noon. One of them put a revolver in front of Streit's face. Streit came across the counter and seized the revolver by the muzzle. There was a scuffle and the " colored" men took out, running at high speed through the street, with the grocer after them. Two of them were finally caught and taken to the police station where it was immediately discovered that the " colored" men were in reality white men covered with lamp black. The men were much chagrined over the discovery of their " color." Capt. Thomas Coughlin, of the Stock Yards Station said that he believes they are the " colored" robbers who have been carrying on much of the robbery on the South side, and which has been laid at the door of the other residents of that section.

There were many answers and many opinions. We would be pleased to have you come to the B. Y. P. U. The Choir, under the efficient leadership of Mrs. Sarah Barthel, gave us a musical treat at the 8 p. m. service. The program was all that one could hope for in its brilliancy. This being our day for Foreign Mission effort, we raised in our auxiliary $16.43, which will be sent to help the work in some other less fortunate land. Mrs. Mary Gray, 315 State avenue, is ill at this writing, but we hope she will soon be convalescent. We are still adding new members to our church at every meeting.

Martin, second son of Austin and Catherine Martin, deceased, was born in December, 1854, in Roanoke, Bedford County, Virginia, and was separated from his parents when about six years old in company with his older brother, George, and grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Moss. He came to Missouri more than forty years ago and has resided in Frankfort ever since. Robert A. Martin was an exceptional man; his life and examples have made an impression upon this community which will long be remembered. He was united in marriage to Miss Louisa A. Wheeler at Louisiana, Mo., September 28, 1882. This union was born ten children, four girls and six boys, of which five of the latter have preceded him to the great beyond. He was an honest, upright and loyal citizen, always willing and ready to aid in every noble cause for the advancement of the community in which he lived. While not a member of any church he thought much good could be accomplished by being good and doing good. He was a member of Guiding Star Lodge, No. 130, A. F. & A. M., of Frankfort, Mo. He was secretary of that order for a period of twenty-six years. He became ill February 3d with a severe spell of acute indigestion and all that loving hands could do was done but other complications developed, and he peacefully passed away April 7 at the age of 65 years. He leaves to mourn his loss a dear wife, two sons, George W. and Austin and six daughters, five sons-in-law, Mrs. E. L. Stevenson of Camden, Mo. John Combs of Louisiana; Mrs. Etta Campbell of Vandalia; Mrs. N. Tode of LaGrange; Mrs. Ina R. Hunter of Palmyra, and Mrs. Zelia B. Martin all of whom were present at his deceive save Mrs. Etta Campbell. Besides these he leaves four grandchildren and a host of friends. His funeral was preached by Rev. A. L. Lovell, pastor of the A. M. E. Church. It was largely attended by his friends from Hannibal, New London, Bowling Green, Salt River, Louisiana and Frankfort. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Resolutions were read by Mrs. C. P. Covington on behalf of the Eastern Star Chapter. Mrs. B. K. Bruce in behalf of the A. M. E. Sunday School and Mr. Cassie Welch in behalf of Guiding Star Lodge, No. 130. Mrs. Fannie D.

Mr. and Mrs. Baker were united in holy matrimony September 28, 1898, and to this union were added six children, all of whom survive her, also the husband, mother, brother and one sister and many other relatives. The funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at St. Paul M. E. Church with her pastor, Rev. J. G. McCallister, officiating. Queen of Honor No. 28, Order of Eastern Star, and Maseleat Cturt, Order of Calanthe, of which she had held the offices of Matron, Royal Matron and Worthy Counselor, respectively, paid honorable tribute to the deceased. The Bank of Farmington, in whose employ Mr. Baker has been for more than thirty years, closed Monday and the entire staff of officers attended the funeral. The deceased was a woman of noble character, such as is needed to mother a home. She has been a Christian since her childhood and for weeks before the end came she planned her business matters so that when the end came she could be ready to wholly surender. She was well aware that the end of her pilgrimage was near. She expressed herself as being happy to know that she would soon inherit the promised reward for the faithful. Death to her was only sleep.

The Master has need of thee, dear Willa Belle. Oh, how we have missed thee, thou dear little flower. Still we gladly submit to the Master of Power. For all that He doeth, He doeth it well, He will love thee and keep thee dear Willa Belle. The messenger came, to be merciful he tried, He then went away, but was no satisfied; And we know our dear Savior must have suffered great pain When God, the Father, said, "Send him again." This time we could see him, hope could not decoy; We knew He had come to call darling We humbly submitted to give him his choice; He called to Leroy, come with her rejoice. Rejoice with thy sister, and all of the blest Await thou in Heaven to welcome the rest. Sadly missed by Isaac Smith, father; Mrs. Evalene Smith, mother; Master Thornton Smith, brother.

Of course no reasonable person be- lieves that Negroes are sending any anonymous threats to white citizens. That is merely a part of the dirty pro- gram of the Gallagher-Barnett ku-klux and the Kansas City Journal is readily bending itself in spreading the propa- ganda. "Own You Own Home," is the slogan we are told, yet for the Negro, it means that the home must be selected in the most insanitary and inaccessible sections of the city. He must keep as his ideal the old log cabin behind "Marse Lige's" big house, otherwise the devil will be to pay. If a white householder, living among his own people wearies of his neighbors-outgrows their society—and offers to sell his property to colored people, then who has committed the real offense, if any, the outgrown neighbors, the householder or the black purchaser? The Kansas City Journal is wont from time to time to deal off some very readable editorial generalities concerning the basic rights of the Negro as a factor in American society, but when it comes down to the real tangible issues of civic rights which actually touch the colored man's life the big "Republican" daily can always be found wobbling around on the other side. We believe in race integrity. It is our only hope and certainly ought to be our greatest pride. Negro men should realize the folly of yielding to the temptation to associate with weak white women. The Negro is always to blame and the white woman always hypnotised. The white men who daily visit Negro buffet parliars and make dates with colored women are also hypnotised. Hypnotism is a foul art and ought to be suppressed by law. Down in Georgia recently a returning Negro soldier was beaten to death by his white fellow citizens because he failed to take off his uniform immediately after coming home from France where he had been fighting for world democracy. The Georgia crackers evidently mistook his sacrifice to have been made in behalf of world democracy, their highest ideal of domestic tranquility and social enjoyment. PUT YOUR BEST TIMBER TO THE FRONT Put your best men to the front; this should apply to church and state, put your men and women to the front who are worth while, and whom you do not have to make any apologies for; if there is any weakness in our efforts to rise it is in the fact that we are given to recognize leadership on the ground of friendship, and not worth and character; hence oftimes we are imposed upon and our progress retarded. It is a well-known fact that in some of our churches if the pastor insists on a strict accountability of the church's money that he is going to have trouble and he won't be doing about it; and in some of our churches he must not become aggressive along certain moral lines, if he does he will find himself in trouble; so therefore for a cure to all the above evils the people must see to it that none but the very best are placed at the front—Los Angeles Eagle. THE COLORED PRESS A VALUEABLE ASSET IN WAR WORK An asset of incalculable value in pushing war work among the colored people of the country was the Negro press, the larger portion of which is actively identified with the National Negro Press Association, the organized instrumentality of the race for the propagation of sentiment looking to its general uplift. These papers, large and small of every denomination, fraternal affiliation or geographical section, without exacting a penny of compensation, gave column upon column of their space to the war news that cheered the millions of colored Americans throughout the period of hostilities and kept them fully informed as to the helpful activities of the masses in the work of winning the war. This service proved to be of the greatest possible assistance to those charged with the conduct of the war, as it won and held the confidence of the people, maintaining their morale and stimulating their patriotism at the crucible hour, when this nation needed the loyal and earnest co-operation of every element of its citizen ship to assure victory to its cause. The superb and generous support give en by the Colored Press to the war aims of the American government was one of the outstanding and most gratifying features of the trying conflict with the foes of civilization.

For the benefit of the Negroes of the United States the Presbyterian Church has just appropriated $400,000 as a part of its New Era program. This will be used under the direction of the Freedmen's Board of the Presbyterian Church for the education of the Negro youth of the country. In congrudging its plea, the Presby In announcing its plans the Presbyterian Church says: "The unsurpassed loyalty of the Negro soldier, and his courage, obedience, and patriotism; the devotion and consecration of his entire race in this land, to follow the flag, and meet our national responsibility; his unrugging enlistment, despite a justified consciousness of much injustice and denial of rights, have shown him worthy of our confidence and praise. "He has the right to think a New Era has dawned. He has the right to have visions of more schools, more aid for the illiterate and unguided, more and better preachers to offer the true Gospel. We must turn the one-roomed, miserable cabin into a neat and attractive home, train Negro men and women to be pure hearted parents, help the race to clean ambitions, to pure amusements, more elevating conditions, and give the Negro the privilege of developing fully, and without unlawful restraint, every talent and every power."

Page Seven FROM OVERSEAS [The following poem was composed by Private Richard Grisham, Company F. 805th P. I.] Did you ever hike millions of miles And carry a ton on your back. And blister your heels and your shoul- ders too. Where the straps run down from your pack; In the rain or mud or the snow, perhaps In the smothering heat or the cold? If you have, why, then you are a buddy of ours And we welcome you into our fold. Did you ever eat with your plate in your lap With your cup on the ground at your side, While the cooties and bugs of species untold, Danced fox trots over your hide? Did you ever sleep in a tent so small That your head and your feet played tag? Then shake, old man, you're a pal of ours, For you've followed the same old flag. Did you ever stand in a front line trench With Fritzle a few feet away, With Jerrys and Minnies a whistling around And gas coming over all day? With No Man's Land a sea of steel, And a tempest of bursting shell? Then come in, old man, and toast your shins, For we're all just back from hell. Pvt. Clifford M. Lee says that the following boys wish to be remembered: Privates Willie Anderson, Frank Johnson, Garrett Green, Ernest Hutchinson, Charles McKinney and Corp. James V. Massey. T. D. Davis and Prof. T. H. Reynolds. Sergeant Higgins is under a good roadway with a show and the assistance of the Jazz orchestra to tour France. We expect to open in Paris soon." --- Private V. L. Dickson, writes: "If space would permit, I would gladly relate through these columns the commendation received by the 805th Pioneer Infantry from their officers. They have indeed, 'made good.' The boys now are going on their leaves to view sunny France. The boys are anxious to come home to their relatives and friends. We now have a good ball team and we will take them through Germany be fore our return home. Company E, has a swift basket ball team. Our little prize fighter is doing great work now. He and his manager, Private Dickson, have been on a tour through France for the last month." Corp. T. W. Tyus, of the 805th Pioneer Infantry, writes: "The entire 805th Pioneer Infantry joins me in sending love and regards to all our friends. The boys are well and fat, fierce Hill would like to hear from Mrs. Anna M. Smith of 2039 East 18th street dedicates the following poem to her son, Reglt. Sgt. Major Banks, with the A. E. F., France, in response to his poem, "The Souvenir," in last week's Sun: "My Souvenir." When the roll is called up yonder And God's soldiers come marching by. May I see you, son, with the multitude As I did this last July. I tried to be brave and watched you go, My hope, my pride, my joy; I was proud to serve my Country By giving up my boy. Now that the war is over And the victory has been won, Soon, with the bees and clover, You're surely be coming home. You write, you possess no German helmet, No watch, no ring or an iron cross; Well, what will they weigh on that fatal day? I am sure they will all be dross. is greater than mortal man can wield. I gave you to God, twenty-one years ago. Last summer to Uncle Sam. You have always been an obedient son. I know you are now a real man. Your letters and postcards are great to me, And I read them most every chance; But the greatest souvenir I long to see is my boy in Sunny France. So down in my heart there's a prayer The same as when you marched away. That God may bring you safely home Just as you were that day. Regtl. Sergt. Maj. C. R. A. Banks writes that, Professor Mloten passed through Clermont and addressed the boys, but they were disgusted with the meek and humble manner which he expressed throughout his talk. I wish that we had men who would take a noble stand for what they believe to be right for us." Private A. B. Hunt of Company D 312th L. B., writes: "Please allow me the privilege of commending Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, editor of the Post, for his many stands in what he believes to be justice for the Negro. Would that there were more such men of the white race as Doctor Jenkins." Private Julius G. Simms of Company L, 806th P. I., writes, that he is well and will be glad to return home when it is possible. He wishes his many friends in Kansas City to remember him. THE DRAFTED MAN'S PRAYER. Lord we know you can forgive, But do not let the Kaiser live. Send him down where he ought to have been Before the U. S. lost so many men. Now, oh Lord, if it is your will, We'll try our best the Kaiser to kill And break up this honey war And keep us from the German's claw Troop trains running every day, Taking us from our wives so gay In some distant land to roam, To protect our U. S. home. J. Bennet is still the U. S. friend; He tried to cheer the drafted man. He had flags from wheel to wheel In his big Overland automobile. To call their names He drove his car from east to west- To call their names I'll do my best He gave them a big parade And stopped to drink with Annie Wade. Arthur Williford and Odie Crow, John Bradford and Joe Shannon Will be there when the whistles blow To help fire the cannon. The ladies of the city Came to the hurry call, Gave the boys a banquet In the big Masonic hall. Some women cried, some fell out, You know it was so sad To see the train pull off from her And carry all she had. A soldier boy composed some cards, And could have composed these. Before another three months He'll be going back across the seas. Now Wife, Mother, Sweetheart, all, Cheer up, don't look so sad. For Uncle's ships are coming home And bring your loving Dad.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS. By Wm. H. Dawley, Jr. The Negro will not be an actor in the League of Nations, but no inconsiderable factor, especially in our an- central home. His capacity for and ready submission to hard, physical labor will prevent his extermination. It was, you will recall, to check the extermination of the American indian because of his inability to perform unremitting manual labor that the good and humane priest Las Casas caused the Negro to be brought from Africa as a slave. Hence the beginning of the exploitation of his labor, which has not yet ceased in certain sections of the "hand of the free and the home of the brave."
