As the Battle Sounded, Taps, the Body of an American Soldier Was Committed to the Great Ocean and to God, With All the Honor This Country Could Bestow. WASHINGTON, D. C., December 4. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, who recently went to France, under the Y. M. C. A., has just sent Mr. Emmet J. Scott, Special Assistant, War Department, the following account of the burial of a Colored soldier at sea: Colored soldier was buried at sea to tidy flags on all the ships of the fleet have the most all day. It matters not that the coffin came from a lovely cabin. It matters not that his skin is black. He is a soldier in the Army of the United States and he was on his way to fight for Democracy and Civilization. The announcement of his death was signalled to every commander and ship prepared to do honor to the colored soldier. As the sun was setting in the West, the guard of honor including all the officers from the commander to the private came to attention. The body of the Negro trooper, wrapped in the American flag, was to arrive. He 's stern of the ship, he 's read the solemn bribe service. The command of the steel checked. The troop-shift was for the only time in the long trip from America to Europe. The burgle sounded Taps and the body of the American soldier was committed to the great ocean and to God. The comradeship of the solemn occasion was the comradeship of real Democracy. There was neither black nor white, North, nor South, rich nor poor. All united in rendering honor to the Negro soldier who died in the services of humanity. BISHOP CLEAVES HOLDS CONFERENCE Special to the St. Louis Argus: Mexico, Mo. Nov. 24, 1918.

McKelvey, Director of Public Safety, withdrew the order. November 30, which would have meant the layoff off of another squad of Municipal janitors fifteen days without pay. It has been stated that no more men are laid off until the next few days, but it is hoped for the good of the party and in justice to these loyal Republicans that a means will be found to keep them steadily employed, being the lowest paid employees in the City Hall and Municipal Court Building, so far as service is considered.

To Editor of the St. Louis Argus: Dear Sir:— On hearing that it will be becoming a matter of much talk as to my becoming Superintendent of the Colored City Hospital. I have just written to Mr. John Schmoll in regards to the matter just mentioned. I hereby ask that you publish the letter as follows and it will set forth clearly my position in this affair. (Signed) B. G. SHAW. The following is a copy of the letter sent to Mr. John Schmoll. Hon. John Schmoll, Dec. 9, 1919. Pres. of Board of Public Safety, City Hall. My dear friend:— Quite a number of my friends, White as well as Colored, have bought me in person to accept the Superintendency of the Colored Hospital that shall soon be in operation, and I have been reliably informed that my name has been presented to you and the Mayor and Dr. Schult for consideration. I wish to state that I am very thankful to my friends for their effort to have me become Superintendent of so important an institution, but I must positively decline and ask that you do not consider me as a candidate for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and I prefer to shut first and last as a true ambassador of His. The Church needs me most, and it is first and above all things else. Notwithstanding, I freely offer my services to assist in whatever other way you may deem best. My sole interest in this matter is, that the proper men from every viewpoint regardless of politics or friendship, to be placed in charge. Knowing the great-work you have done for our people in this city, I am willing to trust you in selecting the very best possible men. The reputation of our race is at stake in the successful management of this hospital, and above all, the lives of thousands of our people will be intrusted to the management of the institution. I therefore ask that your possible safeguard be thrown around and about them. I again thank you, for all you have done for us. I remain yours faithfully. (Signed) B. E. G. SHAW. ETHIOPIAN DRAMA: Mme.

Mr. and Mrs. Malone were targets for congratulations which they received in a modest and an appreciative manner. The story of these two great characters will never be told.

RED CROSS DRIVE STARTS MONDAY The Colored ladies of the country have been called upon again to helping the Red Cross the greatest fraternal society the world has ever known. Since America's entry into the war the purpose of the Red Cross has been primarily to aid our own army and navy in the care of our own men under arms and secondly to extend relief to soldiers, sailors and civilians of those nations which are fighting our battles with our own with the funds that have been so generously contributed by the Aeamerican people. It takes money to accomplish these tasks, and the money and it is up to the women of this country to do their end of the work. The colored people of this city are to be congratulated upon the fact that there is not only one organization but many that have contributed largely to the support of all war activities and they are organizing now their forces for the next Red Cross campaign. The Colored ladies of the 17th ward will consist of the following: Mrs. Bettie Ernest, chairman; Mrs. O. L. Whitfield Neal, vice chairman; Mrs. Anna Wilburn, vice chairman; Committee on Prevent Organization: Mrs. Geo Jackson, Mrs. Gentry, Mrs. Ada Harris, Mrs. Lyda Hughes.

The first positive information that the Ninety-Second Division was in the front fighting line in France, before the war ended, was received by the Argus this week, in special communications from Lieut. C. Udell Turpil, a St. Louis boy, and Ralph W. Tyler, representative of the Committee on Public Information. The Ninety-Second Division was made up of Colored drafted men and includes more than three thousand St. Louisans. Heretofore Little has been said of this division. The following will show that it has seen fierce fighting and that many have made the supreme sacrifices. The casualty list beats. It have not included the names of killed and wounded in the final battles, and it is not known how many of our boys were lost. Young Turpil was recommended for promotion from second to first lieutenant, just before the final drive. His communication is the most interesting because it was written on November 12, the day after the armistice was signed. By Lieut. C. Udell Turpil.

At the eleventh hour, eleventh day of the eleventh month, the armies was signed, peace is certain; Germany is whipped, the Kaiser is gone and the Emperor is dead; the army is again lightened up, after four years of darkness, and every Frenchman is happy. On Sunday, morning, November 10, at 5 o'clock we went "over the top" Such fighting. I have never seen during my five months here. Reach First Objective. We reached our first objective on Sunday chorning and started on our second Monday morning at five. Shells were bursting all around us but they did not stop our boys. They intended to gain this important objective or die in the attempt. Many Fall on the Battlefield. Men were falling all about me (I was sent ahead to gain important "intelligence" information), many were knocked out by gas, but the Boche was getting twice as much "hell" as he gave us, and prisoners were coming through in great numbers. All of a "sudden nite call" cease firing," was sounded by a burden in the distance and, as if by magic, all firing ceased and the deafening thunder of guns was silenced. The Germans stopped also and at once we learned that the Kaiser had abducted and an armistice had been signed. Words will never explain these last days of the war. No human tongue will ever describe the sensations experienced. You can not imagine what a grand and glorious firing it is to know that we have "met the enemy and he is ours," and we can once more sleep in peace without worrying about the Boche shells knocking us off of our hunks of being attacked by gas at night. We are now waiting for a safe return; back to those we love most dearly. Mr. Tyler's letter, written a few days before the war ended, gives a good idea of how much fighting the Colored boys saw. By Ralph W. Tyler, Accredited Representative of The Committee on Public Information. SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE — The Colored people back in America can well feel proud of the record-made by the 92nd Division, over here, which has about 600 colored line officers, and whose rank and file is composed exclusively of colored-soldiers. Here is the record of the 92nd as a combat regiment up to November 8th, 1918. When the Marbleace Sector was taken over by the 92nd Division of "Black Death," as the Germans call them, "No Man's Land" was owned by the Germans, and there, they were aggressively on the offensive. "They, the Germans, hold Belle Farm, Bols De Tert D'Or, Boss De Freau, Volunteer Farm, Volunteer Woods, Bols De Chemist, and Moulton Brook." The constantly argument action of patry, day and night, resulted to many casualties in the Germans, and the capture of many prisoners. Each of the places named above has been filled, as has already been, and patrols, from the Division, have penetrated North nearly to the East and West the through Panzer.

This proud record must forever set at rest the question of Colored soldiers following and fighting under their own officers, and it must forever establish the efficiency of Colored officers, who have done splendidly under the most trying circumstances. To Be Back by February 1. General March reports that late information received from General Poching indicates that a change has been made in the divisions which are to form the F. S. Army of Occupation and that the 32nd Division, consisting of the Colored drafted men, will be among the first to return home. This being the case we may expect to welcome them near the boat of January or the first of February. BOOSTERS FAST GROWING TO POWERFUL ORGANIZATION In one week the Roosters, of St. Louis, have increased their membership by 11%. The membership drive closes this Sunday, December 5. Out of 500 membership cards issued, all seem to have been plodded, which makes the outlook bright for the hustling crowd. It's now assured that they will gain their "objective." All one can hear around the Roosters Headquarters is, "When Our Boys Compa Home." The Arms-learns that the Kansas City I1 Rest. Band is the one most ravished, although the Chicago band has any number of admirers among the Boosters.

The football game that was pitched on the 30th ukl on Lincoln's grounds took place on schedule time. Lincoln vs. George R. Smith. The game was thrilling throughout. Profs. Jacobs and Burdong were there, indeed. No opportunity was lost in stimulating the Lincoln team, and the final score was 43 to 1. It was a clean clear-cut game for 43 to 0, in favor of Lincoln. The national Thanksgiving has now become a of history. In this little city we had our share-prayed, preached and sung to the glory, of God—for, indeed, we had something for which to be thankful. The churches held union services and carried out a program very be fitting for such an occasion. Special mention is due Madam Lapra Jackson Tayes for the very excellent work she did to it happy for the children. She and her hand of "tots" put in their presence at the A. M. E. Zion Church, strictly at 8:30 m. m. and began her exercises. Mrs. Tayes knows how to handle children, and her program for Thanksgiving is a credit all of the Jefferson City. Mrs. Scruggs, wife of the second Church, presented the second Baptist Church, presented the body on the church of Pilgrim Progress in stereoticon picture. Rev. J. W.

Martin Luther Manuel and Jupiter and Peoples. Miss Myrtle Slater entertained in honor of Mr. Elisha Hughes and Miss Tinyc Thomas. Prof. Grant Tayes spent Thanksgiving in the "smoky city." He returned to the Capitol City Friday evening. The trip was made via country in automobile. Flu conditions are better than the people could have expected with the ban lifted. Reports show that we have 39 per cent less cases to deal with within the last two weeks. This of course, may be due to the fact that the cattle are taking the disease from the people. MME.

Jackson No. 4822 Garner M.D. Jackson, Arkansas 2771 Laverne Ave. The Spiritual Christian Union Church held its souvenir Card Reception in interest of the billboard in fund. Rev. N. Newsome's lecture was highly appreciated by the entire union. The subject of this great spiritual investigation which we thoroughly find is God's own word. J. S. Weatherford, Rector; L. Cooper, secretary. ST. JANES CHURCH. Regardless of the strenuous week spent in attending the "Grand Opening" of the magnificent new home of "Poro," and leasing upon the mistress oratory and rare music rendered artist of our race, the attention attended the service Sunday morning. Dr. Chas. Stewart, the noted newspaper man, brought the message. He selected his text from St. John, 6th Chapt., 65th Verse. Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." His sermon was practical and logical, and delivered with convincing power. In a clear and concise manner the speaker emphasized the importance of Christ's example: exemplary lives worthy of emulation. At the conclusion Dr. Stewart made a strong appeal to the unsaved. Eight responded, three asking for prayers and five united with the church. At eight o'clock Dr. Peck announced his text "Phill. 2nd Chapt. 12th Verse (latter clause) "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Three responded to the pastor's invitation to join the church, making a total of eight accessions during the day. The Intermediate League presented the church with two clocks; one, for the auditorium and one for the S. S. room. Miss Wade made the presentation, and Mr. M. H. Bradshaw of the Trustee Board, responded. A commendable work under the leadership of Mrs. Maud Kelley. The Senior League is wide awake. The meetings are largely attended, full of enthusiasm and inspiring musica. Will you not come and be one of us. Every Sunday at 6:30, upstairs. The erection of the "Poro Building" is a challenge to St. James to widen her borders and make ready for the "New Day" which is dawning. Through the leadership of Dr. W. H. Peck, the most efficient pastor in the Fifth Episcopal District, St. James, will rise in the power of strength and merit for the church, to identify and support her. Do you wish to do real service that is worth while? If so, unite with St. James, the great cosmopolitan church. Quarterly meeting Sunday, December 3. Holy Communion at 3 o'clock. Come, worship with us. NT. OLIVE BAPIST CHURCH. The morning sermon at 11 o'clock last Sunday was a marvel of simplicity. The pastor announced his text, then bit by bit analyzed and delivered the message of Christ. "And as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand," Matt. 10:7. At night Rev. Jesse Bowers preached an eloquent sermon, ash. "The Significance of the Cross." Jno. 19:17. Enough cannot be said for the wonderful way this subject was handled. You that stay at home will one day hunger for just such sermons as these. Won't you come, and share the joy of Christ? Ranger throngs fill our every pew, but you are assured a hearty welcome. The harvest days are going by, won't you come? LEONARD AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday was our last covenant in this year, which was well spent, services being enjoyed by all.

Sunday, December 1, was a glorious day at Quinn's Chapel. At the 11:00 o'clock services a number of her members, together with visiting friends, met in their usual general class and the great spiritual blessing which the priest showed upon them. Each one left the peasant's knowledge, "I was glad when they said unto me, 'Let us go into the house, of the Lord.'" At 1:00 P. M. the church was filled to seating capacity with relatives and friends, to pay the last tribute of respect to our departed stewardess sister, Mary Jane Sales, who departed this life Monday, November 25. "For me to live is Christ, and to die gain. This 1:21—was the Inspiring to be baptized by our pastor, Rev. J. C. Hicks at 8:00 P. M. in his pleasing and dignified manner he portrayed to the waiting and anxious congregation the necessity of living each day in Christ and He in us, finally the compensation. Roy. Hicks' sermons are deep and impressive, and we are always able to carry away with us a beautiful spiritual lesson. You can't afford to miss Mrs. we are also glad to add to our number the wife of our pastor. Mrs. Hicks and their daughter, little Miss Ideas, they have never appeared to our church. A church without prayer meetings is a dead church, the member who does not attend when it is possible helps to put it to death. I'd rather give life, wouldn't you?

This is to certify that I have used Dr. Thurman's Embracation with the greatest results. I do say without the fear of contradiction that it is the best remedy for all bodily pain and aches that I ever heard of. I have been an invalid for 18 years, with spinal affection. One year also last spring I became paralyzed from my hip down, and last February I became entirely helpless. From that time until the latter part of July I could not move my feet or limbs without help. Then I began using Dr. Thurman's Embracation, in connection with The New Discovery, Blood and Liver Tablets. Within two weeks I was able to move my limbs with out help, within one month I could walk with crutches, and now I can walk without them. I do think it was a God-said for me that I used 75 of the dollar bottles, using one bottle a day until I used three dozen. I took it three times a day and the Tablets twice a week, bathing freely with clear Embracation, and I feel very thankful that I got relief that cheap. Before I was blessed with using your Embracation I expended hundreds of dollars for other medicines. 一 Mrs. H. R. Lindsay, Prop. TOB CREAM & HOME MADE PIES 120 N.

TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need A Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed groome, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair topics. In deciding what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of progenix progenix. Seeby's Quimade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a numb, long hair. Quimade is the solution of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinaseb, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinaseab, Quinaseab is made entirely out of pure vegetable and is principally coconut oil, and is a thoroughly cleaner. Quinaseab lathers very freely. Seeby's soft and fuzzy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinaseb and Seeby's Quinaseab, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents for if your drugstret or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from a wholesale or send us the price and mail them to you.

GEORGIAN CLEE, WHO DE- PARTED LIVE DEC. 8, 1812 Dear mother, though a year has fled, Since you were numbered with the dead, In fancy oft thy form I see, In dreams at least, I'm still with thee. Your, lovliness and mother-love, Inspires my thoughts to things above; I loved you so, but God knew best. And took you home with Him to rest. So Mother dear, we'll meet again, My wife living to that end. Your noble life ne'er forget, But, Mother, how I miss you. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear, son, Leroy C. Dixon, who departed this life December 5th, 1817. Days of sadness still come over us, Tears in silence often flow; For memory keeps you ever near us, Though you died just one year ago. The depth of our sorrow we cannot let. At the loss of our dear son, loved so well: His memory we shall always keep, For day by day we sadly miss him, Friends may think the wound is healed But they little know the grief That's within our hearts concealed. He shall never be burgotten, Never from our memory fade: Our loving hearts will always linger, Around the grave where he is laid, Sadly missed by Mother and Father. Mrs. A. D. Dixon and Chas. W. Dixon. IN MEMORIAM. In loving remembrance of my dear husband, James Graves, who departed this life one year ago, December 4, 1917? He told along a rugged path with burdens sore distressed. Until the voice of Jesus said, "Come unto Me and rest." All is dark within my home, lonely in my heart today. For the one I loved so dearly, has forever, passed away. Silently the shade of evening gathers around my lonely door. Silently the bring before me that deep face I no more. Sleep on dear James and take your rest. I loved thee well, but Jesus loved thee best. MRS. VICTORIA GRAVES (W.16). IN MEMORIAM. In remembrance of our dear mother, Millie Blyens, of Bridgeton, who was called from labor to reward, December 7, 1915. Just three years ago you left us. How we miss you, Mother dear.

LOUIS Colored Women of the South Placed in Unfavorable Light—The Recent War Was for the Civilization of White Men—Says Boston's Leading Journal. Two articles from Boston papers an editorial from the "Transcript" and a clipping headed "Mammals: Two Rich Ice Work," show the beginning of a new time of propaganda by southeners who hate the Negro. The latter article puts the case of the Colored women of the South an unfavorable light, and the editorial states that this has been a war of white men for the civilization of white men. By this time we ought to be prepared for anything, but the hold of frontery of these, who will rush into print to damage and defame and deny the Colored people of this country what are their rights and what in plain justice belongs to them in records and reputation in aounding The claim of Mr. James C. White, who writes from Washington, in very poor English, that the Colored women of the South are getting so much money from the allotments of the War Risk Insurance that they will not work, is just plain bunk, and a lie out of the whole cloth. And even if they were getting it, as he claims, they would be getting only what his ancestors owe them for two centuries of unrecruited toll. If Mr. White wants facts we can show him some other women who are being paid for doing work here in Washington which Colored girls and women, at-much less pay, help them to do correctly. And we can tell him of some men high in public office who got there through the information and aid given by Colored men who were in the army. We are more survived at the Boys' Open House the writers.—The Washington Eagle JIM CROW CASE IS REVERSED breadice, of disintegration; and so Court Be Ordered Beside of Faulty Complaint. In Killing to Designate. Facts Regarding Interurban. Austin, Tex., Nov. 28.—The court of criminal appeals last week reversed and dismissed the case of Pete Chester, from Galveston, fined $25 upon conviction of an alleged violation of the law. Chester was charged with riding in a car on a car on an interurban, the compartment not being designated for his race and after having been forbidden to do so by the conductor. Reversal and dismissal of the case was ordered because of a faulty complaint. The court said that there was no allegation in the complaint that the interurban was a common carrier of passengers for hire, as required by statute, and charges that the applicable insurance policy did not charge that it was on an interurban railway company. It does not allege ownership, whether it was a common carrier or owned by an individual, nor does it allege it was run as a common carrier of passengers for hire." War Activities WEEK More Colored Chaplains Assigned for Army Service. Nine Colored chaplains, graduates of the class of September-October at the Army Chaplains' Training School, Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, KY, have been appointed and assigned as follows: American Expeditionary Force (overseas service) - Matthew W. Clair, Jr., and Lewis A. Molez; John W. E. Bowen, Jr., 195th Depot Brigade, Camp Taylor, Ky.; Frank W. Brown, 185th Depot Brigade, Camp Lee, Va.; Ellis A. Christian, 185th Depot Brigade, Camp Travis, Texas; Eugene H. Hamilton and Frederick D. L. McDonald. 11th Division. Camp Meade, Md. 5 A. Huntington Hatwood, Camp Taylor, KY, and Max Yergen, Camp Leo, Va. These are included in the total of sixty Colored chaplains announced as now in the services of the United States Army in this camp. Pleasant Conditions at Camp Lee Conditions at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Virginia, are quite satisfactory to the ten thousand Colored soldiers now stationed there, according to a statement made by Rev. Arthur G. C. Randall, a representative of the Y. M. C. A work at, that point. The 15th Infantry replacement battalion at Camp Lee has four Colored captains and there is also the 155th Depot Brigade, both of which are rendering excellent service. Officers and men are treated with great respect and honor by their commanders. There are two Colored chaplains, Max Yergan and J. H. Brown, spiritual leaders of broad sympathies, and they alert a most wholesome influence upon the morale of the men. A commodious Hostess House is in process of erection and will fill a long felt-want. In Petersburg the War Camp Community, Service has established a finely equipped soldiers' club, with all modern improvements, including audience room, shower baths, pool and billiard tables, writing room, and provision for every kind of social recreation. This work is directed by James Sanders, assisted by Mr. McCorkle, a graduate of Hampton. The Y. W. C. A has a like career for women, co-working with soldiers throughout, where soldiers are made to feel at home. Miss Jackson is head worker; and has a commercial assistant, Prof. J. M. Gandy, who is a special assistant in the War Camp Community Service activities, among the Colored people of the South, in very helpful in planning programs, and the musical exercises arranged by him are enforced as much by the white citizens as by the Colored soldiers from Camp Lee, for whom they are primarily designed. The Y. M. C. A. is a heavy center and Secretary Handy R. M. C. A. is the soldier boys to improve themselems mentally, assisting their in their letter-writing and taking the lead in their athletic diversions. in Cuba. The Colored people of Havana, Cuba, have organized an "Abraham Lincoln Club" for war work. Sergt. Thomas, is president, Clement H. Scalia, and father of H. Scalia, treasurer. Ex-Sergeant John R.

At Blanco 8 the club has handome quarters, with large audience room, palm garden on roof, with a clear sweep for the breezes from the Gulf of Mexico, with fine dancing floor and provision for all kinds of recreation. Connected with the club is a indices' auxiliary, an employment agency, providing instruction in Spanish and English, and a club hospital is in contemplation.
