THE NEGRO IN WAR WORK
War Department official state that since the Officers' Reserve Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, out of which came 639 colored commissioned officers, and prior to the establishment of the training schools at Camps Taylor and Pike, 114 colored men were commissioned as officers in Infantry, 11 in Calvary and 35 in Field Artillery. 107 officers in Infantry came out of the recent class at Camp Pike and 43 in Field Artillery came out of Camp Taylor last month. The foregoing summary gives a total of 941 colored officers graduating from the Officers' Training Schools, and these figures are exclusive of those commissioned in the Medical Reserve Corps and in special branches of the service, both over here and abroad, and the count does not embrace the officers of the National Guard and those in the original Regular Army.
The War College at Washington advises that there have been registered 207 white labor companies, 200 of which were sent overseas before their organization was entirely complete. This is positive evidence that these Labor Battalions are not confined exclusively to colored membership, as has been intimated in some quarters.
A colored Woman's Volunteer Service League, of Newark, N. J., has been organized as a branch of the Mayor's Committee of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, and has opened headquarters at 249 Mulberry st., where colored soldiers may be made "at home" and entertainment provided for them. A suitable building is to be secured for the establishment of a canteen for the benefit of the soldiers. Some of the officers of this Voluntary Service League are: Mrs. M. E. Burrell, E. E. Hilton and Mrs. Emma Wormley; and treasurer, Mrs. Louise Hilton.
Mr. J. E. Blanton, in co-operation with the War Department commission on Training, Camp Activities, is doing effective work in various camps in organizing "Liberty Choruses" among the colored soldiers and in instructing them in the technique of plantation melodies, folk-song singing and the standard "spirituals." He is introducing with great success Natalie Curtis Burlin's newly-conceived and most happily harmonized folk-song, "A Hymn of Freedom," which is set for singing the tune of "Ride on, Jesus, Ride on."
Opportunities for the entrance of competent colored men in the Veterinary Corps are now open. Information relative to this branch of the service may be had by addressing Major Ray J. Stancclift, Assistant Director of the Veterinary Corps, Washington, D. C.
New barracks are being built at Howard University and Atlanta University for the accemodal of the young men who are coming in from all sections of the country to take the military training along with their academic studies and for the vocational classes that will come from draftees who will be assigned there by local boards or army camp officials. The opportunities offered young colored men through the Committee on Education and Special Training are being seized with urgency, and so rapidly has the demand for this type of education grown, and so potent are the results noted, that, the Governments policy of thus turning out specially-trained men for its manifold needs, is meeting with universal approval, and is to be continued indefinitely. By next July, it is estimated that 20,000 young colored men will have received this training in some of its forms.
Charles Harris, leader of Commonwealth Band, of Baltimore, Md., has been appointed assistant band leader and will go to France with one of the colored organizations. After six months, he will be made a second lieutenant.
High officials in France are said to be exceedingly fond of the "jazz" music furnished by the colored bands. General Petain recently visited a sector in which there are American troops and had "the time of his life" listening to a colored band playing the popular "jazz" music, with some Negro dance stunts in keeping with the spirit of the melodies. He warmly congratulated the colored leader upon the excellence of the work of his organization and thanked him for the enjoyable entertainment that had been given him.
Colored men serving as privates,
who have abilities along any special line will find it to their advantage to acquaint their company commanders with the nature of their qualifications, and this may lead to congenial assignments in keeping with their mental of technical attainments. There is always something for a man to do who is of proved ability or special equipment. ky, or special equipment.
There are now 41. colored chapains in the United States Army. It is expected that colored chapains will be provided for service at Camp Lee at an early date.
Colored members of the "Committee of 100," who are authorized to present the war aims of the Government, are getting in touch with the State Councils of Defense in their respective localities and are thus lending themselves effectively to the programs marked out for their particular needs of the several states.

Let every citizen do his duty in helping to win this war.

He is a man who has worked himself up from the bottom of the ladder, attending Northwestern University at Evanson, Ill., It was through his efforts that the National Business League was brought to Kansas City in 1816. It was he who organized the large delegation of business men who had a Pullman to Munkogee to attend the Business League and secured the promise of the officers of the League that they would meet in Kansas City Mr. Robinson is doing more to build farm a little year he has rent places handicap his right barrier to in transfer teams the he also work and men and men and sand dollar work.

Chairman Hays Visits Topeka
Chairman Hays Visits Topeka
The people of the State of Kansas as well as Topeka are proud of the visit of Will H. Hays, Chairman of the National Republican Committee. Too much credit can not be given State Chairman, Motter, for the manner in which he handled the affair and the fact that he secured the visit to this city of Chairman Hays. From the time he arrived in Topeka last Friday, until his departure, he was busy. Governor Cupper and State Chairman Motter met him at the train, escorted him to the state house where he spoke in the afternoon to a large crowd in the representative hall. Mr. Hays is a man well versed on international and national issues and matters pretening to the war. He gave the people much information and food for thought. He appealed to the people to lay politics aside and urged that everybody go with push and vim into this present liberty loan campaign and buy bonds. His arraignment of the Democratic party for trying to inject politics into this war was severe. He stated several facts where the Democrats have been dedict in assisting the president to carry on the war while on the other hand the Republican party is doing everything in its power to assist in promoting this war and crushing the kaiser. He said that after the war the Republican party would be called on to put not only this country but the foreign country on a staple basis wherein everybody could live at enge.
Candidates for Congressmen from the fourth, fifth and sixth districts addressed the meeting, by special invitation from Chalman Motter, newspaper men were asked to be present and they responded from all parts of the state to need the National Chalman and to attend the banquet which was held at the Chamber of Commerce rooms and was given by the liberty loan committee of this city and county. The editor of this paper attended the banquet and we again had the pleasure, of hearing some splendid and helpful remarks from Mr. Hays. There were over 350 guests present and at times they arose from their feet and cheered until it was deafening. What we liked about National Committeeman Hays is that he is a plain, outspoken, dignified, Chris.

up colored enterprises in Kansas City than any other one man.
He is certainly an industrious man around home and it is a pleasure to visit his home. He has two daughters who are the pride of his heart. One is a graduate of Lincoln High School and the other will graduate soon. Along with his other work Mr. Robinson loves to

farm a little each year and this past year he had a garden at four different places. While he is a little handicapped because of the loss of his right limb yet it has been no barrier to him. He is interested in transfer work and has three teams that are used by the city. He also contracts or excavating work and employs from eight to ten men and he has done several thousand dollars worth of this kind of work.
Mr. Robinson is a staunch Republican and is president of the Tenth Ward Club.
Ian gentleman. He puts on no airs and will go out of his way to speak to a person. His name is at Indianaapolis, Ind., and he is a lawyer profession, a statesman, politician and gentleman.
It was interesting to stand in the headquarters of the central committee last Friday afternoon and see him work. He first had a conference with the different candidates for Congress and committeemen from different districts and called in the heads of the various factions of Kansas and when everything was over, the lamb and the lion laid down together and all agreed to work in harmony for the success of the Republican party at the coming election, Mulvane, Scruggs, Clarke, William Allen White and scores of others who have been on the outside agreed to lay down the club and fight for the success of the war, liberty bonds and the Republican party. One thing Mr. Hays said that we particularly liked was that this war meant the christianizing of the entire world and that all men would be on equality so far as the administering of the laws are concerned.
GERMANS AT GALENA, KANS.
Prejudice Whites Want Segregated Schools.
We note that there are a few prejudiced white people at Galena, Kas., who are still agitating the separate school question. They should have sense enough by this time to know that such a question is a thing of the past
They better go to church and have their minister preach some good wholesome doctrine to them, such as the golden rule. That class of white people who advocate separate schools will be a thing of the past after this war. They need to get busy and read the newspapers and learn what the colored race is doing for them on a foreign field. Let the good white people wake up and put this inferior class of whites out of business. They should be sent to Germany and put in the class with the kaiser as they are enemies not only to the colored people but to the best whites also.

EDITOPIAL
We would like to know from the war department when they are going to stop hanging the soldiers for the Houston that off in which occupied during August, 1827. We too by the papers that a few days ago they handed one, William D. Bonne, or 12th bantry and took twenty others to the federal prison for two. We are still within, to see what they all go to do with the white officers who put control in their or the members of the police force who threatened the Indians.
We not only of Wavon, that a job launched a col of soldiers, and beaten by a few days, Goron a fell on us one still allowed to run lose. That class of southern whites should be in the front of the German army leading the laissez forces because that is where they belong and in such a position, they would be the first to receive their just dups from the American soldiers. They are as bad as the laisser and his crowd and should be among their gld.
We are sorry to note that the correspondents for the associated press are writing for white news papers seem to take the colored soldiers, who are fighting in France as Joke. We are in receipt of a clipping from the St. Joseph Gazette where some white officer is getting off a joke concerning the usefulness of the colored soldiers in No Man's Land. He takes great pain in trying to make it appear that colored soldiers would be of no service if it were not for their white officers. Now we don't want that mistaken impression to be circulated among white people for such is not the truth and we resent it with much force as we have at our command Colored soldiers would do better fighting under colored officers but the white men, especially southern white men do not wish to see colored officers in command of troops for which reason Colonel Young has retired from service. Now it is time the white people learned that the colored race is like them in that they feel better satisfied serving under men of their race and we have colored men who are as competent to command white or colored soldiers as white officers and we ask the same recognition as the white man asks. Whatever we merit in this war we want and must have.
At present the South is trying to compel colored women to work on farms, in foundries and in the street. This is another outrage that is being allowed without protest on the part of our government. We hope President Wilson will use his good offices in having this stopped. We are informed that most of these colored women are wives and mothers of soldiers now in France fighting for democracy and because these women are getting some support from the government due to the fact that the male members of their families are in France, these southerners claim that these women refuse to work. We do not blame these good women because they have been working in the South for nothing and they have a right now to demand good wages or not work at all. They have sons, husbands and fathers in the firing line fighting for

their protection but for the protection of these southern slackers as well and it is the duty of the president of the United States and those in authority to see to it that these colored women are given proper protection no matter in what section of the country they reside. This kind of thing would not be tolerated in any Northern city and in no other city except where ignorance and superstition exists and where murder and rape are allowed to go unpunished for in such states the majority of the law making body are in league and sympathy with that class of whites who outrage and humiliate colored people. The time is coming, however, when this horde of southern hell-hounds will be driven in to the sea.
EDITORS NOTES
We visited Western University one day last week and must say that President Peck is starting out in fine shape and the school shows great improvement.
There is a great demand now for women barbers' and the colored women should take advantage of the opportunity and learn the trade as they can secure good wages.
We met Captain Charles Taylor at Leavenworth a few weeks ago. Captain Taylor is seventy-five years old and served in the civil war and is as active as a boy. At present he is employed at a training camp to give instructions in military tactics to young men. This camp is located at Lake Geneva and is under the direction of Captain Deal who is stationed at Chicago.

POLITICAL
Mr. Bloyd E. Polloom has been nominated by the Republicans for county commissioner from the North side. He is now serving his second term and has made one of the best commissioners Shawnee County ever had as he is a good farmer and business man and looks after the interest of the taxpayers. His many friends and members of all political factions say that he will be elected without a doubt. He is fair and impartial in his dealings and the county will do well to keep a man like him to safeguard her interests. Vote for Mr. Polloom at the election in November.
