Cr COLORED SOLDIER GIVE FULL MIL Son of Noted Physician Military Funeral Ev Saint Joseph, M COLORED SOLDIER GIVEN FULL MILITARY HONORS The Plaindealer Man Sargeant John Russell Aubrey Crossland passed away Sunday, March 10, at 10:30 a.m., in St. Joseph, Mo., at the home of his father, 903 12 Frederick avenue. Young Crossland was 25 years of age and was the son of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, one of the leading physicians of the country. He was first sergeant in the Ninet) second division infirmary No. 19, at Camp Funston. Sergeant Crossland had been ill since last December, having contracted the lobar pneumonia, from which he never entirely recovered. He suffered, but bore his pain patiently. From childhood he very seldom complained of his ailments. A little more than a week ago Sargeant Crossland grew worse and was given a furlough to come home. He stopped in Kansas City to secure medicine to tide him over until he reached home. He arrived in St. Joseph Saturday night, went home and retired feeling a little better. Sunday morning he was still feeling indisposed and complained of pains in his head and stomach. Physicians were summoned, but the end came at 10:20; Dr. Crossland, the father, who had been with his son during the painful hours, was overcome by grief. His loving arms encircled his son until taken away by the attending physicians. The young sergeant had been a student soldier at Camp Funston since last October, having left his studies in Ann Arbor, Mich., where he would have finished in about eighteen months, to enter the army under the selective service law. He finished the grade school, and spent one year in the Bartlett High School in St. Joseph. He then attended and was a graduate from the State Normal School at Jefferson City, having received the C. S. degree. After his graduation he spent one year at Kansas University. He then went to Iowa University, where he studied advanced physiology and military training. Following this course he entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where he received the A.B. and M.D. degrees. At this stage he was called into the service of his country and was stationed at Camp Funston. Sergeant Crossland was the idol of the whole camp. His place can not be filled, as he was one who could be depended on at all times. Like his mother, he was very religious. He was never seen without his Bible in his pocket, and made it a rule of his life to read it three times a day. Since his death this exemplary life has caused twenty boys to enter the cause of religion. Sergeant Crossland was master of German and French, being proficient in languages as well as in the medical profession. He was a Shifner and a member of Pioneer Lodge No 10, A. F. & A. M., of which his father was Worshipful Master. Concerning the funeral, the St. Joseph Gazette, the leading white daily of the city, has this (to be); Crossland Funeral Meld.

Crossland Loses a Bon on Whom He Had Set Great Store. From the St. Joseph Observer. From the St. Joseph Observer. It was a loss that he could hardly comprehend, as it came so sudden, but Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, the well known Negro physician, stood it with all possible bravery. His only son—and the one on whom he had lavished all that a devoted father could—was suddenly taken away at his home, 903 12 Frederick avenue, Sunday morning. The remains were buried here Thursday afternoon with military honors, a special escort of sixteen white soldiers coming for that purpose from Camp Funston. John R. A. Crossland, Jr., was 25 years of age and was in the service of his country, he being attached to the Ninety second division at the infirmary hospital No. 19 at Camp Funston and had just returned on a few days furlough when he was suddenly stricken with spinal meningitis and died before any relief could be had. He was a most promising young man, a graduate of Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, where he finished with high honors when but 16 years of age. His father determined that he should have opportunities that had been denied to himself, sent him to both State Universities of Iowa and Kansas, and when the war broke out he was a student in medicine at the famous Michigan University at Ann Arbor, where he was fast winning a medical education. His death is a heart stab to his father and a blow to his many friends. (Note This the first time in its history that the Observer has been known to make note of a Negro ) BURY NEGRO WITH POMP.

HAWKES OF STOCKTON FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL Stockton, Kan., Mar 5, 1918. N. Chiles, Editor Plaindealer, Topeka: My Dear Sir—As a lifelong Republican publisher, I wish to call your attention to the candidacy of my friend, Mr. S. N Hawkes of this city, for the office of Attorney General of Kansas. I have known him personally and intimately for the past 32 years, and have always found him to be the same high minded gentleman he appears on the surface, absolutely clean and honest in his private life, considerate on all occasions of the feelings of others, earnest and sincere in his advocacy of all movements for the moral and civic welfare of the community. He came to Stockton fresh from the classic halls of Yale, where he had graduated with high honors from both the university and the famous Yale law school. His culture and thorough legal training, coupled with a fine analytical mind very quickly won distinction for him among the lawyers of western Kansas. His innate refinement and unimpeachable integrity contributed also in a large measure to his success as a practicing attorney. For many years he has been recognized, not only at home, but throughout the state and far beyond its confines, as one of the finest representatives of the bar in the West. His opinions are constantly sought on every phase of legal procedure by men who stand high in court and other official circles. An inquiry of supreme and district court judges, our most distinguished lawyers and several of our best judges will abundantly justify this statement. For the past seven years he has acted as assistant attorney general. His work has been of enormous value to the state and will stand as a monument to his wonderful acumen, his highly efficient industry, and his stoiking integrity. Throughout his career he has stood conscientiously for Republican principles on the stump and in the voting booth, holding the belief that they embodied the highest exposition of American self-government. I present these facts for your careful consideration, feeling that the vital interests of the state will be served in the best possible way by the nomination and election of Mr. Hawkes to the position he seeks and is so preeminently qualified to fill, and I trust you will see your way clear to give him the benefit of your support through your valuable publication in the forthcoming primaryes. Very truly yours. W. L. CHAMBERS, Publisher Rooks County Record J. R. E. LEE TO NEW POST Lincoln High School Principal Whit Head Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, March 10. The board of regents of Lincoln Institute today elected Prof J R H Lee of the Kansas City Lincoln High School head of the state institution for one year. The salary is $2,000 a year. B F Allen president of the school the last fourteen years and connected with it as a teacher for twenty years, will retire at the close of the present school year. The board was not a member in moving Allen Speed Mosby to beer inspector, and F Gus Chinn, both of this city, stuck to Allen, to the last. The members who elected Lee were Uel W Lumpkin, a superintendent of public schools, F Sasay of Brim with, W F Chapman of Humboldt F Phillip of Warrenburg and J H March of Fulton The removal of B.P. Allen as head of the Lincoln Institute ends a long fight by Negro leaders in Kansas City, who have held that politics were ruling the school at Jefferson City. They declared the educational standards of the institution had been lowered; that its graduates were not competent to obtain positions teachers of the race and that the factual of the school was below par under the Allen administration. Speed Mosby, who led the fight to hold Allen, is the state beer in n. or, and Chinn is one of his benchmen. Mosby obtained his present office under the Major administration and has been "holding over" under Gov. Gardner, although frequent charges have been made that he is antagonistic to the present administration. Prof. Lee was trained under Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee Institute. His work as head of Lincoln High School in Kansas City has won him much commendation. We are sorry of the change at Lincoln Institute. President Allen leaves the school with a reputation that anyone could be proud of—a clean, upright gentleman, a Christian, a scholar and educator. We are sorry Prof. Lee of the high school at Kansas City, Mo., would accept the position with a string tied to it. That one year is made to act as a club over his head, we think, for no other purpose than to have politicians and ward heels to graft from and make a political cauldron for Missouri Negroes to rant over. There are several acres of land belonging to the school that Prof. Allen tried for years to get control of for the use of the student body, but never succeeded. The gang needed it and students had to suffer. We hope Prof. Lee will keep up the high standard set by President Allen for a higher education as well as industrial. Sacrifice no manhood to that class of Missouri whites who do not believe the colored boy or girl should have anything but an industrial education. This war is now calling for educated young men, as well as industrial. Let them have all. The great state of Missouri does not believe in Negro education their rural districts prove that WAR MARCH BY DENNI. "The Nation's Awakening," a Spirited French Composition. Lucien Dennil, the young Kansas City composer, has written and published through the Jenkins Music Co. a stirring patriotic march entitled, "The Nation's Awakening" Under his royalty contract it is provided that part of the proceeds will go to the several war funds of the United States and the Allies. Mr Dennil was born in Nancy, France, and has brothers and cousins now fighting in France. His new march was inspired by the crisis that confronted France and America's awakening to its duty as a navy of republics. The music is spirited and warm with emotional passages characteristic of the French composers. MADAME HYDE, SPIRITUALISTIC MEDIUM.

Jackson of Dearfield and we motored out to the settlement for a three days' visit. I was more than surprised to find Dearfield so thrifty and so full of promise and possibilities for the race. Everyone is doing well and no one needs to be without means of earning a good livelihood. Labor is in demand and wages are all the way from $3 per day up. Good farmers are in great demand and the cry for help is sounded daily. The farmers at Dearfield are all looking forward to a more successful year than the last, which was a very good year indeed. The grass being fine for cattle, everyone is determined to have a herd. The town is now to be built and is just beginning to make a good start. The opportunities to buy good tractors or lots and raise poultry, have truck gardens and to engage in any kind of pursuit that one's fancy dictates are great. I have decided to invest in a tract of land and have my family come out to have I would like to have my friends come out and join me and make the most of the great opportunities. anyone who wishes to know more of these advantages may write to me at Masters, Col, or to O T Jackson, 2109 Arapahoe street, Denver, Col.

Prof. Jones is principal of the high school at Columbia and was formerly a teacher in Geo. R. Smith College. He has one the distinction of being one of the best singers travelling and so excellent is his tone and so winning is his manner that he has been asked to visit all the cantonments. We are proud of Prof. Jones because he was one of us. Prof, Jones is most happv in his interpretation of his songs, whether they be sung in English or Italian. His rendition of "Funfult, Funcula," by Denza, as well as "Absent," by Metcalf and "Bravest Hearts" (Faust) by Gounod, and "Go Down Moses" by Homer, were most pleasingly given. He was assisted by our local talent. The Glee Clubs entertained the faculty and a few friends Monday evening, March 11, with a banquet. The color scheme was white and purple. It was a very elaborate affair and the young men and women of the clubs were highly complimented for the manner and style in which they showed forth their training along social lines. A six course menu was served. Music was furnished by some of our well known singers using the victim as a host. Mrs. A. L. Ward gave the welcome address to the visitors and Prof. R. Hayes responded. Toasts were given by Miss Hazel Lee, president of two girls' Glee Club, and Mr. Jacob Harrison, president of Boys' Glee Club. A very pleasant evening was given. Miss Lille Jackson, one of our sophomore students, was taken home Friday, March 8, to the bedside of her sick father. Mr. Floyd Ratliff, a member of the junior college class, was pleasantly surprised by a visit from his father and aunt a few days ago. Miss Leatland national secretary of the Y. W. C.
