The 92d Division has been on every front that the Americans have been ‘on, and just before the bugle 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 Kan- sas have distinguished themselves with valor.

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 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. Wishing Our Friends and Patrons A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Jackson-Walker Coal and Mining Co. 118 E. Seventh St. 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.

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.
