Martin, prominent Wichita attorney says in a letter to the editor of The Plaindealer: "I have just read in The Topeka Plaindealer of recent date, the letter of one Mr. Yont, attorney and member elect of the 23d Representative District of Kansas to the legislature, a Republican, and your decisive, public vote. I am writing to thank you for your many courage and mastery roils; yes, rebuke to the demagogue and traitor to the part of Lincoln, Sumner, Garrison, Lovejoy and Phillips and the Negro race, because I am hend he was unanimously supported by the Negroes as you say he is a Republican. I have nothing further to add. I want simply to express my gratitude for the service you have done for me. I meet you. I have always known that you could be relied upon to crush the serpent with your heels. We are living now in a constructive period, not a destructive period. We must do some reconstructive work ourselves, and not wait for the other fellow to do all the reconstruction, for if we do, we will meet destruction. We are preparing a Resonction program for the American Negro. It contains the popular fourteen points, and will be pleased to hand you a copy when completed. There are serious problems confronting us as a race, and we largely must solve them; we must shape our own destiny. Our people that message only refuse to listen to reason and truth as to our situation. Again assuring you of my greatest appreciation and best wishes, I am happily yours—Freeman L.

Kansas Defense Society HOSPITAL FOR TOPEKA INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE Plans are being made now for the new hospital at the Industrial and Educational institute which is to be erected in honor of the colored women of the state, and promises to be of great service to the whole race, because the physicians of Topeka will have access to the operating room, and from time to time clinics will be conducted. All of this will tend to prolong the racial life and give something to the young girls who are coming out of school. In connection with the hospital will be a nurse training school, where girls will be trained for efficient service in nurse training, thereby be of greater service to the race and the state. This is another advanced step for our people made by Prof. Goe R Bridgeforth. Others will follow from time to time. Prof. Bridgeforth is one of the most noted educators of the country and has been connected with two great institutions of the South where he rendered great service. He was at one time with Prof. William H. Council, at the A. & M. College, Normal Ala, and from there he went with Dr. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Institute, where he remained until called to this place a period covering 12 years. A was for purpose that the state legislature would enact a governor, whose aim is to educate the mind, maintaining that the men is mind.

He is putting the institution on the map, and when the hospital is completed it will be a star in his crown and a help to the widely known Senator Cupper, before leaving the executive mansion to take up his place in the United States Senate, wrote Prof. Bridgeforth on January 17: "I am glad the Board of Trustees have decided to erect a hospital for the training of colored nurses on the grounds of the Topeka industrial and Educational Institute, and that this institution is to be dedicated to colored women of Kansas. I heartily approve of the idea. It seems to me the plan will appeal to all the good people of the state. You may be sure it will have my support in every possible way. "I am very proud of the record that has been made by your school. It is one of the most meritorious institutions in Kansas, and I wish you to know that I will do everything in my power to help and encourage you in the fine work you are doing." Ion. S. J. Crombie, secretary of the State Board of Health, wrote, January 6 "I am interested to know that you are contemplating the establishment of a school for the training of nurses in this proposed hospital to be built in the near future in connection with the Industrial Institute "I know of no other one thing that would be so helpful to your people in the training of your women in the care of the sick and more especially in the prevention of disease. "The death rate among the colored people in Kansas is very greatly inaccess to that among the white people, all of which seems to be an indication of the necessity for trained workers along the lines of prevention and care of disease. I sincerely trust that your fondest wishes along this life may be fully realized." The women of the state will be organized at an early date and all plans worked out in detail whereby they are to look after the building and assist in providing for the girls who are to be trained. Charles Stewart, A. M., D. D., was a visitor at the school this week, and delivered several lectures to the school and a heart to heart talk to the boys and to the girls separately.

Greene, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Iowawa, passed away at the family home in that city. She had been alluring for several weeks, and while the end was hourly expected, the announcement of her passing was a shock to the entire community. She was the life and spirit of the household, always bright and cheerful and her pleasing manner endeared her to the community, whom she came in contact, and the common mourns her loss. Deceased was a sister of Miss Edna Greene, assistant business manager of The Plaindealer and also secretary of the Kansas Defense Society. In this the saddest hours of their lives. The Plaindealer extends deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. Rachel Ethel, daughter of Henry Caine and Sarah Greene, was born May 28, 1899 at Hiawatha, Kansas and departed this life Monday, January 6, 1918 at 2:15 p.m. at the age of nineteen years, seven months and nine days, after an illness of three months. She was converted at the age of thirteen and united with the Second Church church, which she was faithful member until death. She was a teacher in the Sabbath school for six years and a member of the choir. She took an active part in all church work where she will be greatly missed. She was a student in the Hiawatha High school and would have been a junior year had not ill health prevented her attendance. In the home, church and schoolhome she was a faithful member of frisk personality, here was a nature that valued fun, friends. Realizing that mortality cannot unstand Gods ways, she bore her suffering with patience and about men on the day of her death, seeing that the sun was about to go down though she had not yet reached the midday of her life she beckoned her hand to those at her bedside and be singing in calm, clear voice. Hallahiah "This骨. I Believe on the Lord." Seed by the Blood of the Creeffield One." One week before she passed into the great beyond, she was preceded by her mother. She is survived by a father, six sisters, two brothers, a grandfather and a host of relatives and friends. Funeral was held Wednesday, Jan. Sixth from the Second Baptist church, and in compliance with her request, Rev. M. J. Smith, of Elwood, who baptized her, officiated, assisted by Rev. Walker and Rev. Richey, Just before the sermon, Rev. Smith sang very sweetly, "I'm Going Back to Jesus" Interment in Hiawatha cemetery After all: Earth with its dark and dreadful hills Recedes and fades away Lift up your head ye heavenly hills? Ye gates of death, give way! My soul is full of whispered song, My blindness is my sight. The shadows that I tended so long Are all alive with light. Then while my pulse fasts beat, My faith death no abound I feel grow firm beneath my feet The green immortel ground That faith to me a courage gives, Low as the grave to go I know that my redeemer lives, That I shall live to know. The palace walls I almost see, Where dwells my Lord and King. Oh grave where is thy victory? Oh death where is thy sting? LEAVENWORTH. KANSAS. Lleut, and Mrs. B. C.

LAURELS FOR THE 325TH. Only Colored Signal Unit in American Army Shows Rare Courage Under Fire—Cross for Famous Eighth Illinois. ARTICLE X. With the American Army in France. La Mans, Jan 1—One of the units of the American army to arrive here on route for embarkment that has made good, without having the glamour and spectacular settings of a combat is the 325th Field Signal Battalion of the 12d Air Division, the only colored signal unit in the American Army. While this battalion has not had to occupy front line trenches; make raids for prisoners, or march in battle formation, into big engagements, it must be supposed that it did not have a dangerous, and a very dangerous duty to perform. The boys of this battalion had to string the wires for telegraphic and telephonic communications when this enemy guns were trained to see, so, in many respects, their duty took into situations fully as dangerous as combatant units. This battalion is composed of all young colored men, save the Lieutenant-Colonel, Major and two or three white line officers. They are all, with few exceptions, college or high school boys—not a few of them experts in radio and electric engineering, and those who were not experts in the work when the battalion was formed, are now most proficient men. Major spencer, now Lieutenant Colonel, who is responsible for the formation of this unit, was in the belief that colored boys could make good, and he has remained with it long enough to experience his belief becoming a realization. After arriving at Breat June 19th, the battalion proceeded to Vitrey, and from that town began a four day hike to Bourbonnes Laus, a distance of more than 100 miles. From this point, it proceeded, after a few days, to Vitrey, and at Voley, at Voley's taste of what was to be, later, their daily duties. Here the radio company received its quota of the latest type of French instruments, a battery plant was established, and a full supply of telephones and wire was issued to companies B and C. Here too, the Infantry Signal Platoons of the battalion joined the outfit and shared in the training. The first test of real courage given the men, and their first introduction into real fighting, in addition to stringing wires, and sending and receiving radio messages, came on the afternoon of September 27th, when a party of Lafson men, including the Colonel and Lieut Herbert, latter being colored, advanced beyond the battalion to suggestation on a French soldier, turning to the left. They soon found themselves beyond their lines, and directly in front of a German machine gun nest. The Colonel divided his men into small groups and advanced on the enemy's position. This sortie resulted in the Signal boys capturing eight German prisoners and two machine guns, but the attack caused the loss of Corporal Charles E Boykin, who did not return. Two days later, during general advance, Sergeant Henry Moody of the battalion was mortally wounded by the battle. Boykin was killed outright, while Sergeant Moody died in the hospital from wounds received—these being the first two of the Signal Inattallion to make the supreme sacrifice. On the 10th of October the 92d Division took over the Marbache sector, following the 167th French Division, and here also, the 35th Field Signal Installation took over all existing lines of communications and in the days following installed new lines, and audited new communications units of the 22d Dy. This was no small duty, when it is remembered that an army "sector" extends over a wide area of many square miles including in It from 50 to 100 cities and towns. The Marbache sector was an active front and time and time again did these boys go ahead repairing lines, establishing new communications under shell fire, with no delay, only by that ideal of the Signal corps man put communications through at any cost but let it through. On the morning of November 10th, when the Second Army launched its attack on the famous Hindenberg line before Metz the 12th Division with which I was with during this big attack, was holding the Line of Vanderscheut St. Metz Xon Norry. During the entire engagement, which lasted from 7 o'clock the morning, of the 10th to 11 a.m of the 11th the entire Sgt. corps functioned splendidly and as one man, keeping up communicated installing new lines regularly. In writing "Duns" to this brief mention of this important army unit made up of young colored men it is telling that I tell of the particular work done by the boys of the 1st Platoon on the first day of the Metz battle. Shortly after the barrage was lifted, the bliz Price $1.50 Per Year guns of the enemy began shelling Pont-a-Moussion. The first shell, as a vividly recall, hit on the edge of the city, and then gradually they began peppering the Signal Dattailon's station. Sergeant Rutus B. Atwood, of the Frist Platoon, was seated in the cellar near the switchboard, Private Edge. White was operating the switchboard, and Private Clark the buzzerphone. Several officers and men were standing in the 'doubt' cellar. Suddenly a German shell struck the top, passed through the celling and wall and exploded, making havoc of the cellar. Leut. Walther colored, who arrived just at this time, displayed admirable courage. He took immense charge, and directed things. Sergeant Atwood tried out the switchboard, and found all lines broken. He found, on trying to the buzzerphone, Private White then received orders to stay on the switchboard, and Corporal Adolphus Johnson on the phone. The 11 drop monocode object was nailed up by White, and then began the culling up of the lines from the deck to the monocord board. All of the shelling, the shelling, around this point hit the Germans was fierce and dead. It was hitting all around the boys, stuck a nearby ammunition dump cause the explosion of thousands of rounds of ammunition, which caused a terrible shock, and lights to be extinguished. But still these men worked, and would not leave this danger, just a veritable target for the enemy. Big guns, until the Lieutenant of military Police arrived and ordered them out. What these boys of the 325th Signal Battalion have not learned respecting radio, telephone and telegraphic work is of little interest to anyone, be of great admiration to them when they return in man or a living. The 325th Signal Battalion, whose rank and file is made up of young colored men, has been a marvelous success. Croix De Guerre for Gallant Men of Old Eighth Illinois. and Eighth Illinois.
