Next Thursday, Let us all Give Thanks Unto God and Pray for the Success of Our Boys in Far Away France MARKETING Nineteenth Year. No. 48 isants. They handle all mail for the Negro division, amounting to something between four and five thousand pieces a day. Private Mason is adept in handling mail, have ghad experience in a postoffice in Nebraska. Private Thos. Hogg, another graduate of Western, is clerk of company A. He is a steady worker and will no doubt be promoted when the opportune time comes. Private Allen Mercier, a former student at Western, is clerk in the supply company. We called at Captain Hicks' quarters, not found him absent. We were anxious to see the captain, as we feel proud of his record since graduating from Quindaro in 1914. He is well liked by his men and is making a good record as an officer. He is a Kansas boy, and his home is at Ottawa. At the "Y" were informed that the eight young men from Colorado were holding a high standard. They have all been promoted to non-commissioned officers. This speaks well for Colorado. Shawnee county has sixteen drafted men at the camp. All are doing well and some are in line for promotion. The men as a whole feel grateful to the citizens of their respective cities and states for the fond farewell and send-off given them on their departure from their respective homes and cities. About fourteen states are represented at Funston and more to come. The hospital corps is composed of an active, energetic group of young men. They spent three months in training at Camp Dodge and are now doing active service here. They are uniformed and present a splendid sight at drill. Several doctors are also connected with this department. In the supply command we found Captain L. W. Wallace in charge. His company furnishes all supplies and equipment for the men of the division. On arrival each enlisted man reports to this department and gets his uniform of blue denim overall, his woolen underwear, cotton socks, hat and shoes. Uniforms for the enlisted men have been ordered and are expected daily, and until their arrival these men are not allowed to leave the reservation. While on guard duty, they use the substitute wooden gun and billy. Arms and equipment are also ordered. The officers and men are fully aware of the present world situation and are preparing for it. They are contented with the governments arrangements as to their welfare. They are well fed, with hot and cold water facilities for bathing, sleeping in steam heated and electric lighted quarers. We heard no complaint from either officers or men. The Negro officers and soldiers speak in glowing terms of Major General Ballou and Colonel Bigelow, who are in charge of the division. These high officers have proven their attitude of good feeling and confidence in the Negro soldier. Fording the adjutant, Captain M. T. Deane, out, we were referred to his clek, Private W. D. McGullock, of Omaha, who was the first drafted Negro from the state of Nebraska. He is a former student of George R Smith College and Meharry Medical School. He is a fine young man who will merit promotion by his general business ability. After paying a visit to the post exchange, which serves as a store, where is found cigars, tobacco, cakes, soft drinks, ice cream and other articles of food, we met the men of the Central Y. M. C. A headquarter (white) and made our way to the station, having walked, in our estimation, over ten miles during the half day we spent in Camp Funston. "THE NEGLECTED MAN" I am writing this article because I feel not to write today would be a crime. I just finished reading The Central Christian Advocate, that found its way to my desk this morning. It contained an account of the most convention at Chicago, called by Dr. Joseph B. Hineley and Bishma Mitchell and Nicholson of the Board of Conference Chaimitsa. The convention was representative of the territory covered by the M. F. Church, laymen being present in large numbers. The motto adopted by the convention was, "We will form no more." This motto has direct reference to the retired preacher, The Forgotten Man" of Methodism. I have seen fit to call him the neglected man of African Methodism. The convention started. up to be used in establishing pensions for retired ministers. This action was taken in a church that already has legislated for the support of its retired ministry by giving them a general percentage of its general loan fund. Also uses its book companies most dividend for this purpose but it realizes that this is by far insufficient to meet the needs in land. It has on its roll 7,000 retired ministers, 3,000 widows and 300 orphanage workers a total of 4,500 alimony cases to our entire incarcerant force. There is required to meet the disciplinary obligations due those inmates the total of $2,710,000 from million three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. When we study the terms requirements of this church they stagger us. OUR BOYS AT CAMP FUNSTON OUR BOYS AT CAMP FUNSTON Colored Soldiers are Making Good as Officers and in the Ranks. On Saturday, Nov. 10, the Plain-dealer representative, in company with Prof. H. O. Cook of Lincoln high school, Kansas City, Mo., left this city for Camp Funston, at present the seat of one of the largest cantonments owned by the government. Some five months ago the United States was struck with the idea that more room was necessary to train the large number of drafted men who had been called to the colors, the permanent camps of the country being inadequate. Thus 22,000 acres of land in Geary bordering on the Kansas river, a few miles from Ft. Riley, was selected and work started to make room for soldiers. Being prairie land little excavating was necessary. Since that time hundreds of buildings have sprung up, seemingly overnight, until today it has the appearance of a small city in itself. Arriving at Camp Funston Station over the Union Pacific at 5 a.m., we were compelled to remain in the city until daybreak, or at least until we could secure a pass allowing us to enter the camp. Receiving our pass we proceeded to the Y. M. C. A. headquarters, where we met Father J. H. Van Loo, former sector of the Episcopal church in Kansas City, Mo., who is now in charge of the army "Y" at this point. He is assisted by a strong corps of workers, who are getting encouraging results. Kansas men are in the foreground in this work. Arthur W. Hardy, formerly of the Topeka and Kansas City, Mo., branches, is physical director, having charge of all physical work and athletic features. Mr Hardy is an earnest worker and is well thought of by the men. His wife, Mrs. Effie Grant Hardy, former vocal teacher at Western University, with her daughter, has recently moved to Junction City to be near her husband. Aaron Green, a Topeka boy, is office secretary and has charge of all the official correspondence of the association. To the writer's surprise he met his old friend O. D. Lawson, whom he has known since "boy days." He occupies the position of educational secretary, having in charge all educational branches of the camp. Mr. Lawson was educated in the schools and colleges of Denver and was graduated from the University of Chicago. He is an expert chemist, a Master Mason and an ardent worker in social work. Mr. Edw. Ross of Kansas City, Mo., is in charge of the religious work of the camp. His past experience in this line serves him well in his new post. Mr. Williams of Ottumwa, Ia., an active worker in association work is social secretary. The Y. M. C. A. quarters are well furnished, having an auditorium where moving pictures are shown, public meetings and concerts are held. There is also space for magazines, books and newspapers, which the men appreciate and take advantage of. Donations and gifts along this line are greatly needed. A splendid opportunity is open to some educated young man who can teach French to secure a good position, as a class of twenty men is now organized and in need of a teacher. Glancing at the daily report, we noted that the average visitation at the "Y" is about 2,000 men a day. Four hundred men were in attendance at the weekly religious meeting on Wednesday evening. An average of 1,500 letters a day are written by the men of our race and over $125 worth of stamps are sent daily; 300 money orders were issued in one day, and between $100 and $500 was sent out in one day to mothers, sisters and wives of diphid men. I went to the crowded condition new quarters are here built for the "Y" which will be finished shortly. The Y M C. A. serves as a bureau of information and is the center of the social life of the camp. From this point we started out with Secretary Van Leeuwen our guide to take on the camp and covered the entire division occupied by officers and men of color, who compose 150 men each. On the drill ground we witnessed the company in charge of Ilent. B E Ammons, further commandant at Western University, which was composed of men from several states. We were also afforded the pleasure of a handshake with Ilent. George W. Hamilton Jr., who was in command of his company on course to the high hills now located in the countryside, they were being dilled in the net of scaling hills and mountains. While passing on we were hailed by Ilent. Jamison of Topeka. In inspecting the materials of the enlisted men we found them no mind in a vigorous some being from vaccinated and inquainted as a pervasive against continuation were from the rejection A number of the quarters were must quotient is on account of menage. In the postoffice we found Vince Thue. Mason, a graduate of Western University, noting in the annexe of regimental postmaster, with the as- Copeka Plaindealer GEORGE K. WILLIAMS. When we recover from our amazement we are made to admire the zeal and courage of the men who show the spirit not to fail, but to conquer this great problem by adopting measures adequate. And now what about the A. M. E. church? Is there not the need of such a convention in our church? Will our people arise in their strength and meet such an emergency? Can not the general conference meet the requirement by legislation? Is there a need of another department to handle this matter? In short, how shall it be done? In answer to the first question, I desire to say that bad as matters are in the M. E. church, they are worse in the A. M. E. church. Here we have no knowledge of how many conference claimants. True it is that we have conference minutes publishing a list of these claimants in the different conferences, but there has not appeared in a current publication, neither has any man, known generally to the church, even stated (and we doubt seriously if he is in position to state) the exact number of conference claimants in the A. M. E. church. We have provided by law that 40 per cent of the 36 per cent dollar money shall be used for the support of the superannuated preachers, 25 per cent of the 36 per cent for widows and orphans. If this is not sufficient we provide that the conference shall make provision for their support. This has reference to superannuated preachers alone, however. Now let us examine this provision. We have no way of determining whether the 40 per cent of the 36 per cent is sufficient to meet the requirements, because we have never known the number of superannuates nor the number of widows and orphans. Neither have we fixed any definite amount to be given them, but we surely do know that this is a most unbusinesslike method. It is more than that; it is shameful neglect, which makes us say that the retired minister, with us, is the neglected man. It is possible that the conference at A may not have one claimant, while the conference at B may have many claimants. It is possible that the 40 per cent at A may be $5,000 while at it is may be $300. This fact makes our law a cruel injustice. Our ministry is general and not local. A man who has spent his life working in conference A, where the 40 per cent is ample to protect him against want may at the next conference session be transferred to conference B, where the 40 per cent, divided as it must be among many claimants, is by far insufficient In answer to the second question, we say there is a great need of such a convention in our church. In answer to the third question, we say that the General Conference is not competent to act, because it has too many other matters to engage it that it considers of more importance and it does not assemble with this one thought in view, and we contend that this should be the one absorbing thought of any body assembled to consider it. Then again, the General Conference has not sufficient lay representation to make this matter a lay obligation, whence it must be after all, for the layman must be made to see the importance of this matter before they will give the money. In all these years the General Conference has failed to make an adequate provision. It certainly is time now that some other method be employed. Every bishop we have will tell you how the present law burdens them at Annual Conference. The Annual Conferences can not meet their contingent expenses, and as a result solution of this law is frequent. They have been driven by necessity to borrow from this 40 per cent and have only found more trouble for themselves by so doing. The General Conference delights itself by holding this law as a club over the hands of its bishops, and at the same time the same men who made the law no lock home and violate it because they know that if they do not the legitimate claims of the conference can not be met. In answer to question four, I say, with our people are willing to arise in their strength and meet the requirements of this situation. They are becoming wage earners of my mean capacity today. Just this week I visited a town where 1'00 of our people live. The average wage paid them is $93 per week, which totals $1'000 (thirty-nine hundred dollars) a year. The A M B. church is the only church in this town. They pay their preacher $9'00 (two hundred and fifty dollars) per year. Now this town is remote everywhere. The war war has brought on new conditions. Money is more plentiful than ever; the migration of our people to the North has been a great training capacity and we should have a campaign of education to improve them of their duty to provide for their ministry. Our churches in the larger cities, where our people have gone, should not beneath this burden and know that new concessions teach new duties. In answer to question five, I say, surely there is no need of a new department—some one man appointed by a board, whose duty it shall be to call conventions, to man out campaigns, to see that annual conferences pay this department every cent due it, since this harming and misrepresentation of funds. Start a campaign for funds to be invested as a permanent endowment to help in establishing a pension aid. We could do it better thing than to elect a man to do this work, and I want to say r念 now that I am not a candidate for the office and do not want it, but I would be happy to do what I can to bring it about, to make it what it should be and to assist in formulating the campaign for the raising of the funds. We write this for the good of the church and ministry. The church can not serve the people without means are provided for its ministry. Do we wonder why our educated young men do not enter our ministry? We certainly should not, when we see how the church treats them. Surely it is time for us to no longer campaign for the bishopric and general office and to spend our spare time writing articles trying to flatter bishops, but spend our time trying right at our door. We can get right of our door. We can get the money if we but try. We have the brains if we will only use them. I shall write again on this subject. In the meantime, I desire to ask of any many in the church two questions: Tell me, do you know the number of conference claimants there are in the A. M. E. church? Can you tell me what a reasonable allowance as a pension for them would total? Divide them by classes and give me the total. I am waiting in hope. 4258 West St. Ferdinand Ave., St. Louis, Mo.

Monroe was called to Dunlap last week to attend the funeral of his sister in-law, Mrs. Georgia Turner. Mrs. Margaret Pinkard, accompanied by her son, visited her sister, Mrs. Dan Mallory, a few days ago. Mrs. Pinkard and husband are among the wealthiest people of Rosdale. She spent her girlhood days in Topeka and was one of the leading ladies of that time. The family of the late William H. Crutchfield, who died at his home in Omaha last week, has the sympathy of the entire country, especially those with whom he was acquainted. Mr. Crutchfield would go out of his way to do a kind act for a trend or anyone who called upon him in distress. It never was in his make-up to do anything that would impoverish his fellowman. It seems too bad to have him called from earth to that eternal happiness at such an early stage in life. He was progressive and his good works will live as a monument for many things he did to show that he was a true, loyal American citizen. He left a fine large brick mansion and other valuable property. He was a member of several orders, and the Knights of Pythias officated over his remains. Peace to his ashes. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Prof. C. Allen Curry, teacher of mathematics in the Kansas City high school, to Miss Pauline Campbell of North Carolina, to be colonized at the residence of Prof. J. W. Hughes, 1019 Band avenue, East St. Louis, Ill., Nov. 29, 1917, Prof. and Mrs. Curry will be at home after November 30 at 946 Washington boulevard, Kansas City, Kan. Prof. Curry is one of Kansas City's most industrious and enterprising young men and has just recently erected a stucco hungalow, modern and up-to-date, and one of the finest in Kansas City Kan. Miss Campbell is one of the most highly educated and leading young ladies of the South. They have the best wishes of The Plaindealer Mr. John Shonhan, age 77, veteran number and Topeka business man, died at his home, 1300 Taylor street Wednesday morning. He had resided in this city for the past thirty-three years and was one of our oldest and best friends, an honest, upright Christian gentleman, with no enemies and a legion of friends. He raised a fine family of children and lived to see them all grown and doing well. The funeral was held from the Holy Name Catholic church. Tenth and Clay. Thursday morning and a lark crowd of friends were present to witness the last sad rites. Three Catholic priests, officiated, among whom was the Rt. Rev. Father Hayden. Remains were interred in Mt. Calvary cemetery. Peace to his ashes. Mr. Thos. Snedel, custodian of the Memorial Hall, gave his annual game dinner last Tuesday at the Memorial building in honor of the comrades connected with the institution. Gov. Canner and a few of the state of fierer. The bill of farm consisted of ground-hog coon, opossum and several other kinds of game and side dishes of various kinds. Mrs. Snedel who is a fine cook, assisted by several other ladies, served the dinner and over fifty people people were present. Mr. Snedel's game dinners are becoming as famous as the game dinners served at the Grand Pacific in Chicopee years ago for the late Gen. Sherman, Gen. John A. Logan Herb Ward Beecher and other distinguished guests, when every convivial species of game in the forest was sent to Chicago and served on that occasion. We visited Camp Funston last week and must say we were carried away with the great work that is being done by the 82nd division, which is colored. The commissioned officers are doing as good work as if they were West Pointem, and the Y. M. C. A. is also doing well. We shall next week give a descriptive write-up of what we saw and heard while there. One thing that we heard that was pleasing was that a white Southerner was dismissed from the army for refusing to salute a colored commissioned officer. Uncle Sam means business now and wants nothing but soldiers and gentlemen to do his fighting. Whatever soldiers cannot respect each other the government has no further use for them. The three Masonic lodges of Topeka—Euclid No. 2, Mt. Morlah No. 5 and Kaw Valley No. 18—gave a reception Monday evening in honor of the new grand master, H. I. Monroe, and grand custodian, Fred Roundtree. There was a large gathering of Masons present, with their wives and members of the Eastern Star to lead dignity to the occasion. Music was furnished by Messrs. Burton and Johnson, Mr. James Johnson acted as master of ceremonies, and we must say that he certainly is a fine mesider and knows how to entertain. Responses were made by J. F. Brock, W. M. of Euclid No. 2; Louis Knott, W. M. of Mt. Morlah No. 5; N. Chiles; Past W. M. of Kaw Valley, No. 18; C. C. Daniels for Cyrene Commandery, and B. F. Payne for Lincoln Chapter, Royal Aich Masons. The speakers assured the grand master and grand custodian and custodian of the W. an O. fund that the lodges and people of Topeka were in sympathy with the positions they held. Grand Master Monroe and Grand Custodian Roundtree responded in well chosen words, reviewing their Masonic history. Since they have been members of Euclid No. 2 they have both held offices in the same lodge and minor positions for the three lodges, and now they are in the Grand Lodge, which is a singular coincidence, that two men should move together in the subordinate lodges from time to time for twenty years. A nice repast of ice cream, cake, sandwiches and coffee was served and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. The Masons of Topeka are highly elated over the election of these two men and feel confident that they will give good administrations. CARD OF THANKS.
