That was the nearest they could get to their soldiers, who kept their ranks and marched steadily ahead, in spite of the eager swarm of civilians at their heels. Men and women who could not win a glance from their friends in the line contented themselves with counting the crosses and decorations which adorned one or more in nearly every file. William Morgan, of 428 East Ninety-seventh Street and James Eavies, of 111 West 137th Street, both wounded men cited for bravery, and sent home several weeks ahead of the regiment, were the big show before the paraders arrived. When their comrades marched up, they hobbled into line with them. Lieut. James Europe, in spite of reports that he was down with pneumonia, was at the head of his celebrated band, whose "jazz" was in demand among the American soldiers in all parts France. He confined himself to dignified music all thru the parade yesterday. The band started to playing at G o'clock in the morning, and played incessantly during the railroad journey from Camp Upton to this city, and continued to play thru most of the march. They had little breath left, but made a brave effort when they finally got into their own community. Five of the instruments of the band, were bettle drums, presented by the French as a mark of esteem in which the regiment was held by the French comrades. The 369th regiment did all of its fighting with the French. Another drum, which was beaten by Willie Webb of Louisville, Ky., was a trophy left behind by the Germans, when, in an engagement in the Champagne, they were driven back so rapidly that they lost interest in bulky impedimenta. At the end of their march, the regiment was carried in special sub-way trains to the 71st Regiment Armory at Thirty-fourth Street and Park Ave to be feasted and entertained, but it was after four o'clock before the boys got around to their chicken dinner. As soon as the soldiers started down town, so did thousands and thousands of their relatives and friends, particularly the young women. All of the subway trains were jammed with them, and all spaces about the Armory were packed with women and girls, more than 10,000 of them, and a few men and children. The soldiers reformed in Park Avenue, near the subway exits, and the welcomers were crowded to the sidewalk with difficulty by the police. When the soldiers stood at rest, it was conversation time for them and the crowd on the sidewalk, so that the whole neighborhood was soon ringing with laughter. The women about the Armory made a brilliant piece of scenery, most of them clad in furs, coats of bright lines, waving plumes and striking millinery. Gold earrings of impressive size, glinted, as their wearers shrieked and shouted with laughter. The good natured New York policemen, trained to handle all races without friction, were generally models of kindness in dealing with mothers, anxious to break thru to see their sons, and girls eager to embrace their idols. "Now, sister, you can't get thru here said a policemen, restraining an excited girl. Just wait a day or two and he will be home." Won From Chicago Templation Many of the soldiers did not linger to pick the chicken bones clean, but hurried out to the street, looking for mothers and sweethearts. The first to appear was identified by shouts of "Johnny," and a whole family broke forth the police line, and hung themselves upon his neck. By the time he got to the sidewalk, he was encrusted with a whole neighborhood. Some of the policemen took advantage of the current toward this first "free" soldier, to increase the circulation on the pavement. "Run along now, there's your Johnny," said a policeman to a young woman who had anchored herself. "I don't want no Johnny, I won't 'Sam,' she replied." Sam arrived a few minutes later, got some resounding smacks, and stood with his arms around the girl talking, until she pleaded nervously that they might be arrested if they stayed too long on one spot. "There ain't no man, going to arrest you this day," said Sam. Others popped out from the Armory, one after another, and each soon looked like an opposition half-back with whole female foot ball team on his back. Each man was complimented on his grand appearance by his women folk, and all agreed that war had Homes For Colored People MARTIN'S DRUG STORE Largest Drug Store on the West Side West Broad & Jones Sts. wrought improvement. Most of the boys were wearing the war mustache, about three quarters of an inch from tip to tip, close cropped as as they are affected by dashing officers. Each o. these adornments produced its individual sensation, rivaling even the medals and wound stripes, dented helmets, scars and other proofs of valor. Seeking a Place in the Sun Women and girls, who either had ment, or could not find him hung a claim upon any one man in the reg bout the groups that had appropriated a veteran, yearning for a chance to take some part in the proceedings An undeniably pretty girl, in a handsome red coat, and her mother, in real seal skins, found an unclaimed veteran outside the army, and set things in motion by inquiries about his helmet. He showed it, and explained its uses and history. His stripes, belt and medals were next in the order of business. By that time, the hero was securely in the net, and soon was guiding the beauty by the arm thru the crowd at the intrance to the Armory, her mother chaperoning. The men and their friends packed th Armory. The white officers of the regiment, mostly big men, bemedaled and swelling with pride over their Negro soldiers, could not have been more courteous and attentive to the visitors than if the affair had taken place in the White House, holding long conversations with Negro mothers wearing gold stars.

There is greater interest in Negro registration in Georgia and the South, right now, than ever before. Campaigns are on in several of the large cities, and a strenuous campaign is about to be launched here. Many men, who never registered before, but now conscious of the importance of it, are going up to pay their poll taxes and register. Strange enough, a good many white men, we hear, who never before conceded to Negroes the right of suffrage, are now willing to grant that Negroes shall have a larger participation in the affairs of government. The conscieney of these men are goading them to the right. They are coming to realise that black soldiers fought to save the ideals and countries of white men, and that there can be no consideration too dear for them. All movements for Negro betterment depend for their success upon the voluntary good graces of those whose aid and support in their behalf are sought and enlisted. There is no silent force of demand for just consideration beneath the appeal and petition of Negroes for justice in the award of public benefits and the dealing of justice in the courts. The vote alone is power. The voteless man is powerless, and henceforth will be in contempt before those who feel the consciousness of manhood and who elate under political helplessness. Negroes have no word in directing the affairs of the government under which they live. No wonder then that all benefits of good schools, public improvements and opportunity go to others. The Negro force badly in the courts in many jurisdictions; he suffers industrial slavery; the Negro common school is a disgrace in most locality with little or no equipment and confidence and inefficient teaching because of poor pay; the Negro experiences Jim-Crowlism and discrimination everywhere, and this is growing. We can only be saved by the ballot. We must qualify, prepare, and fight for this most sacred of all rights of citizenship guaranteed us by the Constitution of the United States and won and deserved by Negro men in all the possible ways, from clearing the forests and fields of this land, to the sacrificed of his life to save it. What man today, can come out in denial of this right? What just and logical reason can be offered? Shall we continue to sleep, or shall we go forward in the only avenue of salvation? Let us answer by registering, now. DEAD HEROES We are all-very much interested in that-part of the plans of the General Celebration committee which delates to memorializing those black boys from Chatham county, who gave their lives to America in the war; whether from disease in the camps or from wounds in the trenclies on the battlefields. They are all heroes, alike, and we must regard them honorable and deserving alike. Mr. J. S. Perry, registrar and statistician of the general committee, is collecting the record concerning these and when his roster is complete we shall find that Chatham county groes went unfinchingly to the altar of supreme sacrifice. Willie Cusbort, a local Negro, was the first man from Chatham county to give his life overseas after the United States formally entered the war. A fitting memorial of some permanent character must be made, in granite or memorial institution or what not. It has been suggested that each church or other organization plant a tree near its entrance, with appropriate memorial exercises, for all those who went to war from its ranks. This would be fine, and it could be done all over the land, even in the smallest villages. We propose a day of national celebration for Negroes, when particular attention could be given to the brilliant service of Negroes in the war, and when the American people could be seriously impressed with the merit and valor of the Negro as a national asset. We propose May 7th, 1919. MEETING AT PEKIN THEATER Mr. A. L. Tucker, chairman of the Negro committee for returned soldiers, has called a meeting of the soldier for tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Pekin theater to prepare for the parade of given Tuesday.

THANKS GIVING PROCLAMATION Office of the Grand Worthy Counsellor, Grand Court of Calanthe of North America, South America, Europe, Asia Africa and Australia; jurisdiction of Georgia, 1233 Mauge street, Augusta, Ga., February 20, 1919. To the Grand Court officers, grand representatives, members of the grand court, worthy counsellors and members of the subordinate courts throughout Goor, In. Greetings: In compliance with the law, it becomes my duty to remind you that in its onward progress, the order of Calanthe has reached another mile stone. When we look back we realize as never before, that we should be humbly and proudly grateful to God for the goodness and mercy that has spared us to celebrate an anniversary at the dawn of a new day. One year ago war and pestilence reigned the world over. Many of us were called upon to send our husbands, brothers and sons across the great Atlantic to fight and die, that "Freedom for all forever" might be a fact rather than a slogan. "There's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die." With prayers and tears we laid our supplication upon the Allies of Service and now when the Dove of Peace flies triumphantly over our heads, let the Georgina Calantzians join with the Order the world even to give thanks to an Shipin2 Ships for pop esquity through a year of strifq into one of peace. Therefore, I, Mary Nelson Jones, grand worthy counsellor, do hereby pro- claim and designate Sunday, March 23rd, 1919, as the day set apart for our Annual Thanksgiving Service. Let us give thanks and rejoice: 1. For what America has done to bring peace to the world. 2. For the brave Negro soldiers who have proved loyal and true. 3. For those who made the supreme sacrifices and those who returned to us. 4. For the growth and encouraging outlook of the Order of Calanthe in Georgia. Finally, let us be thankful for the life and service of our late lamented Rosa Lou Barnes, sacrificed upon the altar of Calanthism. I shall expect every court in our jurisdiction to repair to a church or hall, and if possible co-operate to the fullest extent with the K. of P. in your town or city to make this the most memorable occasion in the history of the Order. Let me urge each Court to go properly regaled. Order your badges from this office. Court badges are 75 cents each. All orders must be in the office by the 10th of March. Programs from this office or Grand Chancellor's office, $1.75 per hundred. Members failing to comply with the above proclamation without lawful excuse and so accepted by their Court, must pay the penalty. Given under my hand and seal of the Grand Court of Calanthe at Augusta, Ga., this 20th day of February. A D. 1919. Yours in F. H. and L.. Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, G. W. C. Mrs. M. S. Grant, G.
