Funston Boys Ask Return To Civilian Life.
KANSAS DEFENSE SOCIETY
TAKES UP MATTER
Hon. Newton D. Baker,
Secretary of War.
Secretary of War,
Washington, D. C.
Washington, D.C.
Sir: We ask why we should be held in camp, knowing if we had been physically fit we would have been mustered out. We feel that we could better serve our country at our former occupations, as we are presently engaged in non-essential work. During war we felt it our duty to serve any place assigned; during reconstruction period we ask a return from nonessential to essential work in civic life. This organization, composed of 1100 men (colored) physically unfit for combatant service, is not allowed to engage in athletics. Due to color, no advancement beyond rank of corporal is allowed. Food is bad, even detrimental to health.
We ask that this matter be investigated immediately. Obligingly.
BOYS OF 415 LABOR BATTALION
Camp Funston, Kansas.
The Kansas Defense Society asks on behalf of these soldiers and the colored people that you take immediate action in this matter and give these boys what they pray for in this letter. We ask for them the same treatment as given white soldiers. If what they say is true, we know you will correct it.
NICK CHILES, President
Kansas Defense Society and
Editor the Topeka Plaindealer.
Camp Funston, Kansas.
My dear General:
Find enclosed copy of a letter sent from the boys of 415 Labor Battalion at Camp Funston, and if these complaints are true, we believe you will make the order to better their condition, and also see that they are released as soon as convenient. We understand that there are no white soldiers in the Labor Battalion, and that the colored boy now are not allowed to have any amusements or athletic sports. Some of these men could be very useful if sent home, and the Kansas Defense, Society, knowing that you are fair to the colored boys asks that you see to it that they get fair treatment.
Very truly yours,
NICK CHILES,
President Kansas Defense Society and
Editor the Topeka Plaindealer
Letters From Our Soldiers
Topeka, Kansas,
United States of America.
Dear Mr. Chiles:
Although I have not heard from you
since I have been overseas, I have
written you several times. I like to
keep in touch with you because of the
great work you are doing, and in a
small way I have represented Topeka
and our people in this great war.
Germany has capitulated, and with that capitulation the Negro has made a reputation for himself that cannot be equalled by any race of peoples. The 92d Division has been on every front that the Americans have been on, and just before the burgee blow for the cessation of hostilities our boys went over the top and took one of the most important points on our sector. Our boys from Topeka and from Kansas have distinguished themselves with valor. General Ballou is not with our Division any more, and I am quoting a memorandum that was sent just before taking his leave;
"Five month ago the 92d Division landed in France.
"After seven months of training it took over a sector in the front line, and since that time some portion of the Division has been practically continually under fire.
"It participated in the last battle of the war with creditable success, continually pressing the attack, against highly organized defensive woths. It advanced successfully on the first day of the battle, attaining its objectives and capturing presenrs. This in the face of determined opposition by an alert enemy, and against rifle, machine gun, and artillery fire. The issue of the second day's battle was rendered indecisive by the order to cease biring at eleven a.m., when the armistice became effective.
"The Division Commander in tabl-
le leave of what he considers himself
justly entitled to record in his divi-
sion, feels that he has accomplished
his mission. His work is done and
will endure. The results have not al-
ways been brilliant, and many times
were discouraging, yet a well ori-
ganized, well disciplined, and well trai-
ned colored Division has been created and
commanded by him to include the last
shot of the great world war,
"May the future conduct of every
officer and man be such as to refuilt

credit upon the Division and upon the colored race.
"By command of Major General BALLOU."
There are many other things I could tell you, but I haven't the opportunity at this time.
It is my good intention of coming to Topeka to live after I return to the States, if agreeable work can be found that will pay a living wage. Of course I can go back to my government job in Chicago, but for some reason I prefer Topeka and want to settle there. That is the greatest mission on our minds at this time: What will the people do in the way of employment for the soldiers? Anything that you do in my behalf will be highly appreciated. You know my line of work.
At this time we are located in Ponta-Mousson, a very large place about 20 kilometers from Metz. I don't think there has been a building in this town that has not been hit by a German shell. We will be here for a short time only and will then go to Badeaux, where we will wait our turn to come back to the States. Just when we will get there no one knows. However, I hope it will be soon. Regards to the office force and other inquiring friends. Would be pleased to hear from you at any time. With kindest and personal regards, I am. Yours very truly,
JOS. R. ROLLINS.
American E. F., November 30, 1918.
My dear Friend Ike:
Your letter received a few days ago, and I am always proud to hear from you and to know all at home are well. This leaves me in the best of health and hope to hear the same of all by return mail. Ike, we just received the glad news of returning home at an early date, and they cannot head me that route too soon. We are now stationed in a small town by the name of Marbache. It is just south of Metz on the map. Now you can look it up. We are allowed to give the names of towns now, but you still write me the same address as before. They may keep some of the 92d Division over here as occupation troops, but I am going to try and be all the horse heard bunch. Major Donn, Grahani, Wiley, Harper, Dorsey and all send herhes. I see Dorsey every day. He is in a town just north of me called Belleville. Best wishes to all of your family and mine and Big "R" all neighbors. Have a few souvenirs; will bring you a nice present, and I know you will like it, like, I guess you have read of the German stronghold at Metz, so you can see we were in a very live sector, and the boys certainly put up some good artillery batteries and over the tunes in this sector. Lots to t. I you when I see you.
Yours sincerely,

Mr. Nick Chiles, Editor of t.
Plaindeault
Mr. dear Mr. Chiles.
A Plaindener reached my hands the other day and was joyously received and read and re-read. The incident made me think of you, and I thought perhaps you would be as glad to hear from me as I was to read the Plaindener. I regret very much that owing to the ability of the censorship I am not permitted to give you an interesting account of our experiences in training, so they are numerous and interesting. But I will say without hesitancy that I find France to be the finest country in the world. If I should be fortunate enough to get back to civil life again in the dear old U.S. A. I shall have much to say for
publication on the subject, at present I am not yet at liberty to discuss the subject as freely as I should like, but suffice it to say that I have found France, notwithstanding its war-ridden condition, an infinitely more agreeable place for me to live than our country. Doubtless you have followed the news and dates and have seen that the greatest successes of our troops the 92d Division met with all along the line. And a most peculiar thing I must mention which happened in our midst was one of our boys who got hung for committing a very many un-called-for crime, which made many soldiers, as well as myself, feel bad, because he was of my color. However, what it is about, if you have not a ready heard of it you soon will.
Tell the friends and relatives of the 92d Division not to want for us to write to them, as we often are so situated that we cannot write, as we are still busy. A letter from one is of our greatest pleasure, and it is even a great thing to bear from even a casual acquaintance. Of course I haven't received a card or letter since I have been in France until I received the Plaindealer from a girl friend, but she did not sign her name, just said: "From a girl friend" I have also underdone an operation but am getting along fairly well at present. Nearly all of us speak French fluently now, as we are brushed in a French country, ha, ha, and necessity has been our best teacher.
I should be very pleased to receive the Plaindealer regularly if I am not asking too much of the young lady who sent me this one, and I would like very much to know who she is. I also thank her.
Well, Mr. Chiles, I must bring my letter to a close, as I am yet in constant fear of saying too much and thereby bring the wrath of that half of our existence, the censor, down upon my head. Were it not for him, I could write a very interesting letter indeed. Hoping that we boys will soon be back to the old States. Before I close I will speak of the old home boy.
Lieut George Hamilton, Wilbert Stonecreet, Sgt. Dell Clark, Gerlond Bros, Comdore Oden, C. Taylor, are all looking fine and doing fine. I also send regards for them as well as myself to the friends who wish to hear of us.
With very best wishes I remain,
Very truly yours,

Thero was a great mass meeting held at the First Baptist church last Wednesday night to hear Father Challoughlazlecise preach and lecture. The house was called to order by singing a sweet melody by the church choir, after which Pastor Elliott arose and read a scripture lesson. Prayer was offered by Rev. C. F. Tyler, who led to a burning throne of grace. The pastor made some very encouraging remarks concerning the East Africa priest. Rev. Father W. S. J. Challoughlazlecise, priest of the Church of Christ of East Africa, world wide evangelical lecturer, prince of the royal house of Ethiopia, heir to the provincial throne, present ecclesiastical envoy of the Coptic Church of Abyssinia, graduate of universities of Europe, Oxford, Cambridge, and Athens. This divine minister was introduced to the audience under the above title. The house was filled to its capacity. Father Priest drose and read for lesson Pomans 1: 1-8, then offered prayer, which filled our hearts with joy. That prayer is yet ringing in our ears. It was enough to tickle the angel's feet in heaven. His subject was "The Essentiality of the Black Race and Their Usefulness." Text: Ps. 68: 81: "Princess shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God." Biblical. He showed the origin of the black man, which was very plain. Stood flat footed and prescheduled the pare undeniable gospel. Father Challoughlazlecise was successful in effecting the permanent organization of the International Ethiopian Rescue Release Conference for the advancement of the colored race, with the following officers: Rev. Wm. Elliott, Pres.; Mr. E. D. Mitchell, Vice Pres.; Prof. H. W. McNamce, See.; Mr. G.W. Dickson, Treas.; Rev. G. W. Mayfield, Chapain.

I am afraid he will poison the atmosphere against the American Negro around the peace table. But let us as a race proclaim for our rights. We have all to gain and nothing to lose. They have done everything to us but eat us—have barbecued us all right enough. He who would be free must hit the first blow. Let us as a race stand together. In unity there is strength.

Walter Evans Visits the Two Kansas Cities.
The colored people in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri, are up and doing. They have some nice, clean business places, and then some of the places will stand a little water. The doctors and undertakers are doing business—not complaining about hard times. Dr. S. H. Thompson of Kansas City, Kansas, and G. C. of K. P. of Kansas, is the busiest man in the two Kansas Cities. I visited with him for three days. Doctor Thompson is a fine fellow and knows medicine. It seems that the Doctor would forget that I was out in the car waiting for him. We started out to making calls Tuesday afternoon on the Kansas side at 4 p.m. We went until 8 p.m.; then we went to his home, and that good wife of his had a good dinner for us, and we put it away. Then about 9 o'clock p. m. we started to make his calls in Missouri. Just across the river at the foot of the bridge is a saloon. I said to the Doctor just before we reached the saloon: "When you get to the saloon you stop. There is a patient in there I want to see." When we got there he stopped. I got out. He said: "Hurry up!" I said to him: "I did not tell you to hurry up this afternoon when you would have me sitting in the car for forty minutes at a time; so I am going to examine my patient carefully." And I did.
I stopped at the Y. M. C. A. for two days. It is a fine place. It is run on the cafeteria style; everybody waits on himself. I did not know that, so I went in for breakfast. I sat at the table for about twenty-five minutes, and no one came to see what I wanted. I said to a gentleman that was sitting close to me: "This place is like a place at home—don't care whether they wait on you or not." The gentleman was very polite. He took me and showed me what to do. I got me a platter, knife and fork, and went to the counter. The lady gave me what I wanted to order, and by the way the lady that fills your order is some fine looking lady. I would go and eat when I was not hungry as to as to look at this lady.
I met Nick Chiles Thursday. He was on his way home from St. Louis. I said to him that I heard that he was going to get married. Then he asked me if I knew a certain preacher in Hutchinson. I said I did. Nick says he and Mrs. So-and-So of this place are to be married soon. But Nick has not said yet whether he was going to get married or not.
Doctor Thompson and I were at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Davis Thursday eve for dinner. I am not going to try to mention what they had, but the Doctor and I were in misery when we left. We certainly did cat. I am going back to see Mr. and Mrs Davis again. I am thinking very seriously of moving to Kansas City. I had several offers while there. Every Baptist preacher in Kansas City, Kansas, is building a new church and let me tell you when Rev. McNeal completes his church it will be a monument to him when he has gone to some place.

The Kansas Defense Society is rowing rapidly. The good people from several parts in the United States are kindly responding to the appeal of the organization. We are asking the aid of every loyal negro man and woman in the freeing of the court martinaled soldiers of the 24th Infantry, who are imprisoned at Leavenworth Kansas.
We see by the daily newspapers that a soldier was lynched a few days ago near Louisville, Kentucky. It makes no difference to the Southern white man whether the colored man is defending this flag or whatever position he occupies. If he is a black man and is accused, or even suspected of a crime, the white man takes the law into his own hands. It is a shame and disgrace that this government does not put a lasting end to these outrages, and such could easily be done if a law were enacted whereby the officers would forfeit their positions if they allowed a prisoner to be taken from them and the county or city be compelled to pay the relatives of the injured party not less than $10,000. If such a law were put into force, it would soon break up lynching, and the sooner the American white man learns to respect the rights of the colored man, the better it will be for all concerned. The colored people should band themselves together to offset these mobs.
A TREBUTE TO MOTHER TERRY of Fort Scott, Kansas.
Written by Mrs. Eliza S. Johnson. Submitted by S. Wm. Moore.
"Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
be proud Like a fast fleeting meteor, a fast
falling cloud."
Mary Elizabeth Terry, born in Roane County, Tennessee, April 25, 1844, departed this life December 8, 1918. She had sojourned here 74 years, 6 months. December 18, 1884, she was married to James Terry, who with three daughters and two sons survive her. At the early age of fifteen she gave herself to Christ and followed Him through life. We have always found her to be a most devoted Christian. The ministering brethren will miss her cheery welcome. She has left a vacant place in her church that can not be filled, because she came down the rough road of time to this day bringing with her the religious principles of seventy years ago. Her Lodge could always rely upon her faithful response to the call of duty.
We are assured that "Ma" Terry is now enjoying her blessed reward, for had she not always told us that she did not want to linger in sickness and be a worry to any one? She just wanted to be ready to go when the Master called her. Just a few short weeks ago she said to me: "I will not be here much longer. You will come some time, and I will be gone. My spirit will be flying around here in the air, but I will be gone." She always spoke in soft and gentle tones, even when she bared her body or her heart to show the scars that life's storms had left there. Her life was made up of many changes, varied and unusual. Seldom has one's life so many paramount experiences. It was a beautiful picture, with its Christian light that illuminated all, even the shadows of sorrow that made it complete.
Her generous hospitality exemplified the true Christian spirit at all times. We knew her to be a mother with such boundless love that it not only encircled her own but other mothers' lonely ones, a Christian whose charity did not stop at home. But now, "My" had grown tired. It was time for her to rest. And not like a fratric child who fought sleep because it did not understand, she trustingly lay on Jesus' breast. And He quietly, easily, lulled her to sleep. Mutely, now, her sleep form speaks to us in the language of Emerson: 'Good-bye, proud world, I am going home!'

DONATE TO THIS GREAT CAUSE
The Kansas Defense Society is an organization in tituted 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 24th 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 louston 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-commissioned 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 martials. 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, incapation in the Houston riots. This makes a total of nineteen brave colored boys to be executed for par-
The evidence shows that this riot at Houston occurred in the night when it was very dark and it was impossible to tell who were taking part. These soldiers 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 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 habeas 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 East St. Louis root, 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 on a human being. This woman, who was so heartlessly treated, was about to become a mother, and she was hung by her feet and split open with a sharp instrument, and the habe 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 town these lynchers and bring them to justice.
As foresaid, 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 Topka Plaintiff, Topeka, Kansas.

My Dear Sir:
As yet the Spanish influenza is not under control, and the question of preventing it is the problem the general public want solved. I have used certain measures in my private practice and have been fairly successful, and desire to present the suggestion to the public for society's general welfare.
I recommend that people spray their nose and throat at least once a day with some reliable wash (antiseptic), especially when coming in at night after exposure all day. It would be safe to use the spray three times a day. Any of the reliable sprays may be used, however I suggest that "Chlorcosane," Indized Oil, or solution of Silvol be used. Any good druggist can put up these preparations. The suggestion is given in the interest of the Prophylaxis of Spanish Influenza.
Respectfully Yours.
J. Louis Rusem.

LAWRENCE, KAN.
Sunday, December 8, was a gala day at 9th Street Baptist church, Rev. G. N. Jackson, pastor, spiritually speaking, was caught up in the spirit, as it were, at the 11 o'clock service, and delivered one of those soul-stirring sermons for which he is noted to an appreciative congregation. At 3 p. m. Rev. John Adams, of the St. Luke's A. M. E. church, came over bringing both choir and congregation. It is well known what happened when that diving, got in the pulpit, for "Preach" is his middle name. We went over the top at night when the Reverend S. E. J. Watson of the Shilo Baptist church, Topeka, came down with two of his best deacons, viz. Hon. H. J. Monroe and Edward Drain.
Now to know what took place when this noted divine got behind the sacred desk, you should have been there. The Reverend has a special gift which is always used effectively in illustrating the Christian's experience in his singular characterizing way of delivering the Scripture. The collection for the day was $172.85
