WASHINGTON TRIP BRINGS RESPONSE
President Wilson Through Secretary Tumulty Asks About Treatment of the Colored Soldiers.
When in Washington, D. C. we visited the White House and left a letter containing a number of complaints which Private Secretary Tumulty assured us he would bring to the attention of the president as President Wilson was out playing golf and we did not get to see him.
We did not charge in our complaints that the war department was discriminating against the soldiers but we did say that discrimination was being practiced in the army against colored soldiers, and we do not see how our letter could be misconstrued so as to mean that we charged the war department with making the discrimination. We note in Mr. Tumulty's letter what he says concerning the colored Red Cross nurses and we wish to say that the question we desire explained is why the government has a training department for nurses, and will not allow colored women to attend so as to receive the instruction.
In our letter we called the president's attention to the mistreatment of a colored lieutenant at Chuckasha, Okla., who was arrested and put off the Pullman in which he was riding and fined $24 and cost for refusing to ride in a Jim Crow car, and we are now preparing to give more detailed information concerning this case that we may send same to the president that a satisfactory investigation may be conducted. Following is the letter received from the secretary to the president:
The White House, Washington, October 1, 1918.
The President directs me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of August 19, 1918, in which you refer to alleged discrimination against colored soldiers in the Army, and to advise you that no discrimination has been practiced by the War Department.
Steps have already been taken to provide colored Red Cross nurses for colored soldiers, and colored doctors are being called into the service as soon as there are organizations to which to assign them.
The President directs me to say that he feels a sincere appreciation of the loyalty of the members of the colored race, and of their services in helping to win the war, and he desires me to convey to you his assurance that colored men will be afforded the fullest possible opportunities for commissions, promotions and advancement on their merits.
Sincerely yours.
Sincerely yours,
JOSEPH P. TUMULTY,
Secretary to the President.

General Crowder Calls on Missouri
Draft Boards to Fill Call.
We are glad to see that General
J. H. McCord received a call today
Crowder has issued an order that
ninety-five colored recruits be sent to
Kansas State University for instruction.
This is a step in the right direction.
Below is the article:
Jefferson City, Oct. 3—Lieut. Col.
from Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder
to furnish ninety-five negroes from
Missouri in draft of October 15 to be
given vocational training.
The negroes will be sent to the University of Kansas for training. Those who have grammar school educations or mechanical training and can read and write are eligible for the training. They will be inducted through their local boards.
A VALIANT COLOR BEARER
To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.
Some years ago I asked Col. R. G Ingersoll, the famous agnostic, what in his opinion was the most sublime thought that had ever been expressed in any language. After a few moments' thought he replied: "I have often thought of that and have decided that the most sublime thought ever put into words was where Confucius said: "As long as I can have my bended arm for a pillow and the blue canopled sky for a coverlet, I care nothing for honors bestowed and unearned, nor for honors earned and unbestowed."
If the Colonel were alive today I would like to ask him what he thinks of the American negro soldier in France, who, while acting as color bearer, with his company, was ordered to scatter and he down in order to be less conspicuous to a lot of Hun airplanes that were trying to attack them, stood erect and still as a rock, and when a lieutenant came back to ask him why he had not obeyed orders and sought shelter with his comrades, replied: "As long as I can stan' up, I don't mean to ever lay his flag down to de dust." We want to know this negro's name.
his company, and what state and town he is from. A few more expressions like that, from a few more negroes like that, and the "color line" in our country will be a thing of the past.
Personally, I believe our army is chock full of just such men, black and white, and if we have not already put enough of them in France to clean up that Hun gang from hades to breakfast, then our military officials know where to get more.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING OCTOBER 11, 1918
HABEAS CORPUS FOR RELEASE OF SOLDIERS IN THE HOUSTON RIOT
The Kansas Defense Society is an organization instituted for the purpose of testing the constitutional rights of the race along civil, political and other lines that may be necessary to bring about justice and sentiment in behalf of the race in this country. This organization was formed because of the conviction and legal lynching of the thirteen soldiers of the 21th Infantry at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, last December, 1917, for participating in a riot at Houston, Texas, in August of the same year.
It will be remembered that these soldiers were acting in self defense from the fact that they had been mistreated and assaulted by the police of Houston and it had been reported to them that a mob of white men had threatened to swoop down upon their camp and drive them out. Acting on this information the soldiers prepared themselves, and receiving orders from non-comissioned officers that the mob was descending upon them, they began to fire and at the same time marching upon the town, which action resulted in the death of several persons.
They were taken to Fort Sam Houston, disarmed and through the policy of Texas officers investigation was started, and some weak minded soldiers from the South who had been in the service only a few months were induced to turn state's evidence on a promise of immunity. From what we have read of the trial it seems that this was a kangaroo court and the men were never fairly tried.
There have been three court marials. Sixty-three soldiers were tried in the first, which resulted in the hanging of thirteen without their cases ever being reviewed by President Wilson. Forty others were sent to the Federal prison for life, and the remaining ten were disposed of in various ways. Three or four were sent to military prison, and a few were given jail sentences. A second court martial resulted in the conviction of sixteen, which sentences President Wilson has just approved. This makes a total of nineteen brave colored soldiers to be executed for participation in the Houston roots.
The evidence shows that this root at Houston occurred in the night when it was very dark and it was impossible to tell who were taking part. These soldier were convicted upon circumstantial evidence given by soldiers forced to testify as they did on account of fear or promises made them for their own safety.
Under rules of the court martial ter in Oklahoma soon.

ALBUQUEREQUE, N. MEX.
Santa Fe Cooks and Porters auxiliaries of the O. S. and D. held their annual meeting at Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sept. 26th, in Santa Fe Car No. 6. Praeter was offered by James Clark, of Chicago, Ill. In the absence of the President, W. P. Jordon, and also the Vice President, A. Cole-
all evidence and findings must be submitted to the president of the United States, and this was not done in the case of these soldiers, but their sentences were approved by the commander of the southern department. This being true, these men are being illegally held in the federal prison and should be given their liberty.
The Kansas Defense Society, of which Nick Chiles is president, has employed three colored attorneys to bring habens corpus proceedings in the United States district court, and if necessary will carry this case to the highest court in the land. Attorney T. W. Bell, one of the leading lawyers of Kansas, located at Leavenworth; E. T. Barbour of El Reno, Okla., and Elisha Scott, a young attorney of Topeka, have been employed, and the case, No. 1933 was filed at Topeka, Kansas in the United States District Court Friday, Oct. 4, 1918. We are now asking the public and friends of the race to contribute as much as they can afford to assist us to properly prosecute this case. We have consulted several lawyers of prominence, and they all agree that this case can be won, and the Kansas Defense Society, believing this to be true, has employed these attorneys. As editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, a newspaper published in the interest of the race, we feel that it is our duty to take up all matters of this kind. Our people have been bartered, bargained, and sold by members of the race, and cruelly, unmercifully, and maliciously assailed by the white race long enough. When we think of the Enst St. Louis riot, the hanging of these nineteen soldiers, and the brutal lynching of a colored woman by a Georgia mob a few weeks ago, it is enough to make the beasts of the forest frown, to say nothing of the effect it would have upon a human being. This woman, who was so heartlessly treated, was about to become a mother, and she was hanged by her feet and split open with a sharp instrument, and the babe dropped from her and was stamped to death by some member of the mob. It is a shame and disgrace upon Christian civilization to have such things exist in this country, and some methods should be used to hire detectives and officers to run down these lynchers and bring them to justice.
As aforesaid, the Kansas Defense Society is soliciting funds to be used in this case, and any one desiring to help will write NICK CHILES, President of the Kansas Defense Society, Editor and Owner of The Topeka Plaindealer, Toneka, Kansas.

FRENCH SOLDIERS LIKE NEGRO YANKS
Southern Officer Accepts the Situation----Black Americans Make Good.
(By HENRY J. ALLEN)
Our colored troops are going thru an experience which is entirely new, and which they are enjoying to the uttermost. Their color is no barrier to whatever social opportunities the villages in which they are quartered afford. They associate freely with the French, and the sight of a colored trooper of inky hue escorting a French girl is as common as any other social event in any French village where colored Americans are billeted.
Recently I stopped at an inland French village for my dinner. In the dining room at a long table sat all the guests, a mixed society of civilians of both sexes and army officers. At one end of the table was a young French captain with a high bred face, his left hand gone, and his breast covered with distinguished service medals. Sitting beside him was an American Negro captain. I sat beside a first heutenant from a distinguished Mississippi family that had once owned slaves. He was taking his medicine like a man, but he didn't talk much. The Negro officer was doing a lot of talking and the French were encouraging him with their engaging courtesy, the they didn't understand him. The heutenant from Mississippi ate quietly, speaking in low tones, but he made no remark about the presence of the colored officer. Once he addressed to him a sharp, direct question as to what branch of the service he was in and received an answer in a tone so genuinely respectful in its quality that the French favored my southern friend with some glances of curiosity. But there was no subduing our colored officer for any length of time and it wasn't long until we had his history. He had been a policeman in what he termed the "bad ward" in Philadelphia, and when I left the table he was still talking about his service in that field of endeavor.
The experiment of officering colored regiments with men of their own race is still in its infancy and it's too early to prophesy as to how it is going to work out, but there is no doubt as to the quality of these colored troops. They are soldierly looking, well set up men, and if they are properly led, they will give an account of themselves which will be true to the tradition of Negro troops in the Civil War and at Santiago. And the expectation of army men here is that the Negro officers are going to prove successful.
EDITOR VISITS LINCOLN. NEBR.
We stopped over at Lincoln, Neb, and were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Cooley. Mr. Cooley is still running his pantatorium and is doing fine. The colored people all seem to be doing well at Lincoln and have plenty of work.
We visited Rev. I. B. Smith, who is clerk at the City National Bank. He is an exemplary citizen and is making it possible for other colored men to make good. In conversation with the cashier he spoke very highly of the good work that is being done by Mr. Smith at the bank and says he is a fixture there, that Mr. Smith has in his charge many valuable papers, and that the bank has to call on him for necessary information.
Our friend L. R. Bailey, who is now employed at the state house, is a live wire and a race man, and the colored people can do no better than keep in close touch with Mr. Sailey, for he is a man who will stand up and defend the rights of the race. He stands well with the state officers and can bring many things to pass. He and his wife are doing nicely. The Keystone Club, under the control of our old friend Ben Corneal, is doing fine. Nichola's barber shop is doing a good business. Our friend who conducts a pool hall and barber shop at 211 N. 9th Street, has lived in Lincoln thirty years and is one of Lincoln's most enterprising citizens.
Private Alwayne Smith, of Camp Fuhston, was down for a days visit before he changed his camp.
Mrs. S. C. Hood left for Davenport, Iowa, Saturday afternoon where she will make her home.
Mr. Wm. Dale, of Kansas City, spent Sunday with his mother and son.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Hall and children went to St Joseph and Atchison to spend a few days.
Mr. Lee Bradley, of McFarland spent Monday with his sisters. Mr. Leslie Officer and wife, of Paxico, spent Saturday in Maple Hill. Miss Rosa Scott, of Paxico, came to Maple Hill Sunday.

LEMONS WHITEN THE COMPLEXION
Any woman can make up this bleaching lotion for a few cents
The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin bleach at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach a darkened skin.
Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any drug store and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands.
date for United States senator will be elected by over a hundred thousand majority. His policy toward the war, of raising money and looking after the soldiers has endeared him in the hearts of not only Kansas but the American people in general Washington is now looking forward to the coming of this great champion of human rights and are discussing as to what committee he will serve upon. It is not a question now of his election but of his majority. Governor Capper has always been fair to the colored people and has come out in the open and declared himself to be in favor of equal justice to all man-kind irrespective of condition.

main sports in America is Baseball
I am sending you a little of the baseball
news of the A. E. F. in France.
On August 27th the Battalion team played a picked team from an infantry, the game was very fast and was full of thrills all the way through The Battalion team having won by a close score of 3 and 2. The features of the game was the fielding of Private Frank Floyd, of Indiana, who was playing first base, the battalion team of the 30th the Labor Battalion is considered one of the best teams in France. Batteries for the Infantry were Private William Shoer and Private John Harris, for the battalion team Private Johnie Walker, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a former star of the Oklahoma Giants, and Corporal Isaac a senior impure in "10" former star of the Manhattan Giants whose career as a pitcher of the amateur class has not been excelled in the A. D. F.
01 September 17th the Stittallon team crossed but with an all star team from one of the colored Infantries. It was one of the hardest fought battles of the season and was a good game from start to finish, the first man up for the Infantry bit the ball for a three bagger and things looked mighty gloomy for the Battalion team, the next three men of the bat were unable to hit the dangling curves of Coronal Isaac W. Pitta and Johnson who had hit for a three bagger was unable to reach home plate, after the first in-
ling not a man in the Infantry lineup reached second base. Private Johnnie Walker catched for the Battalion team was in the best form and every man that started to second base, started in vain, the game was one of the rarest played in France among the A. E. F. The game went thirteen innings without a single score, in the first half of the fourteenth inning Corporal Pitts, batting left handed hit the pill for a two bagger, followed by Private Johnnie Walker who hit for a two bagger scoring Corporal Pitts, at the end of the fourteenth inning the game was called on account of darkness. The game was played without an error on either side. Score 1 and 0 favor of the Battalion team. Yours for success.

In the behalf of the common laboring people of the A. T. and S. F. P. s., Co. at Popekn, Kansas. We hereby ask of you in the highest degree of courtesy and sincerity that tongue can express the following requests:
First for back pay from Jan , 1st 1911 to the present date.
Second for a rate of 40 cents per hour on an eight hour day basis and time and a Lait on Sundays and holidays for all of those who are now working less than paid rate.
Nir, in as much that the mechanics get 65 cents per hour on an eight hour day base and time and a hait for all over time, there after and back pay from Dan, 1918 to present date, and helps 45 cents per hour on an eight hour, base and time and a hait for over time and back pay on that very fact, it is thought by all of the laborers in the shop that it is no more than salt, right and just that we should get back pay from the same date Dan, 1918, since it costs the unskilled laboring people just as much to live as it does the skilled laboring people.
Third we ask for the elimination of the compulsion which prohibits colored people from becoming helpless, merchants and workers of the more classical service which they have proven themselves worthy to hold by many years of experience and education in rail road work where they are now prohibited. Since they are now recognized as citizens of this great common wealth at this time of such a high crisis in this country, Thus we speak softly and sincerely to your highest incentive to grant. Therefore we are all asking for an undercriminated chance to serve our country in the various capacities in rail road service in the highest and to the best of our ability.
Your honor, we claim that the above rights will meet the appraisal of all who are democratic at heart, and we claim too, that all true Americans are now full of democracy. Thus we feel sure in asking you the above favors which are full of democratic principles
We remain in your service

Two Baptist churches have succeeded in returning after a separation of thirty years. And it seems to have been done so nicely after having a few nights of prayer services over the matter. It was done so lovingly, every thing was done in peace and harmony. With Rev. Rose, of Fulton, Mo., Chief man of the meeting. A motion was made that the two churches disband, so they did, and then a new church was organized and gave the name of Calvary Baptist Church and there were discourses of both sides and also justices. A building committee was chosen from both sides and then we proceeded to call Rev. Rose for our pastor, we don't know whether he will accept it or not, he said that he would take it to the Lord and see whether he would be pleased for him to accept it or not. The two mission circles of each church were disbanded and organized so now we have a mission circle of Calvary Baptist Church, of Coffeville and no more Mc Cain nor Macdonaldia Mission Circle. We agreed to make a great church of Calvary Baptist Church

Former Student at Head of a $500,000 Business
WHY? Because he forgot color, physical irregularities, past failures, put aside discouragements, applied himself, used great will power and determination and finally took advantage of ONE GREAT OPPORTUNITY and learned thoroughly everything about a single piece of machinery so that he became its absolute master. With what result? The Commercial World sought him, it found him and in three months he had turned down more big jobs than are offered to an ordinary man in a life time. We then had one Auto, but that one did the work and now he directs the manufacture of thousands. The mighty Abraham Lincoln had but one Book but he so thoroughly mastered it that he became a pattern for scholars and statesmen of all generations and all countries. .. You can do what these men have done. The world is before you. Opportunity is calling to you. You must act now. He who hesitates is lost. Use your backbone and will power. Be the MASTER of your Destiny. Be INDEPENDENT. We can make you stand alone, a man among men. The Automobile Business is the biggest single industry in the Commercial World today. We are in the center of this industry. We give you a diploma from each course and get you a position before you leave. We have the inspiration and we give it to you.
The Negro Lawyer, Teacher and Doctor finds his field is limited, his world is a small one, but the Negro Mechanic has the whole world for his school and the universe for his field of practice.
We give you a thorough course in Auto Mechanics, Vulcanizing, Ignition, and finish you off with driving. Or we give you any one of these features. Our terms are $75 for the whole course. These terms are subject to a change after November 1st. Our Driving course is $15.00. We teach persons from 16 to 60, Men and Women. Mr. B. A. Strother, our head instructor is an expert mechanic, ably assisted by Mr. Ennis and J. B. Neff, the latter a graduate of our school.
Our NEW CATALOGUES are on the press. We mean business. We give you the goods and you deliver them. Write at once. Our location at 1420 Woodland, is the one in which Mr. Sweeny, head of the million dollar Sweeny Auto Training School, began his career. ONE HUNDRED STUDENTS WANTED for new class, Beginning Oct. 15 to 20. Write today.
5th day of September, A. D., 1918, the undersigned was, by the Probate Court of Shawnee County, Kansas, duly appolated executor of the estate of Leon H. Jordan, late of Shawnee County, deceased. All parties interested in said estate will take notice and govern themselves accordingly.
