St. Louis Argus

M. B. Upon suggestion of Dr. B. A. Moseley, president of the Western Baptist Convention, the Baptist Ministerial Alliance of St. Louis acting for the Baptist of the State of Missouri elected Dr. J. T. Canton as a Race delegate to go to Versailles, France, in the interest of the Negro. In addition to this honor it was pointed out that he ought to go to the National Representative Race Congress, which convenes in Washington, D. C. Dec. 16, 17, 18, under the auspices of the National Negal Rights League. She first jury awarded both White and Colored, which has served in a Justice of Peace court in four years was selected on a case in Justice Shuler's court last Tuesday: These mixed juries are the result of the election of Charles H. Turpin, stable and able to make the public practice using his first form in office. The last Tuesday was a suit by a motor truck company to recover the balance due on a sale of $1,220.00. From the six White and six Colored men summoned by Mr. Turpin, four Colored and two White were drawn. The Colored men were: Harbert T. Mendows, city editor of The Argus, forman; James H. Kent, barber; Wm. Knight, jeweler and optician; and Ben Stovall, barber. The jury reasoned granting $225 to the plaintiff. Boosters' Club is strong and fast. Reaching the 500 Mark. A packed house was the call for the Boosters' meeting last Sunday. This rapid growing organization is expected to do the "improvement" it is above City's Regiment. Band will have the place of honor in the mammoth parade and military ball. An Argyss reporter asked Mills to outline the "Boosters" program, which brought a prompt reply "Impossible. However, I will say that there will be a few features that are new to our people in St. Louis. For instant, we are considering a Midnight Military Ball in conjunction with the 'Dr. Anx' and 'Ramble'. The Dr. Anx and Ramble will be a knockout. As it will be the first time one could really Ramble, I mean by that the Colleum will afford plenty room. There will be noted performances and the choir in St. Louis. Don't think we can donate an act, for that we can do too well and we don't expect to learn anything undone to make them feel that St. Louis in Home. Sweet Home. It has always been the object of the Boosters to take part in anything that was for the advancement of the race. We have met every issue that touched the loyalty of our people, which we can well be proud of. I hope to see the Boosters' a strong factor in the civic affairs of St. Louis working with all organizations for the betterment of our people. The Lady Boosters have increased their number to 54.

UNDERTAKER WILLIAMS HAS A $20,000 FIRE Last Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock a confagration threatened to destroy the residence and undertaking establishment of L. S. Williams, 2232 Pine street. The fire was caused by a spark from a coal-chisel in the hands of Henry Gates, who was doing some repair work in the garage.

Gallant Division Plays Big Role In Advance On Metz. Wounds Fail To Blot Out Native Sense Of Humor. JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE In last week's issue of The Argus, we published a letter from Lieutenant C. Udell Turpin, which was written just after the armistice was signed and dealt with the truce fighting of the 52nd Division that truce fighting on the last day of the war. This publication was intended to refute the rumor that he had not seen active service. It was also, a forerunner of the final news, which we must anticipate, that will sell us of many casualties. The following letter from Ralph W. Tyler, representative of the Committee on Public Information, who is in France, was written on Sunday, November 10, the day preceding the armistice and corroborates Turpin's information that many have fallen on the battlefield. BY RALPH W. TYLER SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Nov. 10.—In the battle raging today in the American advance towards Metz, the 2nd Division, one of the Colored combat divisions over here, big role. Not only was the black infantry and machine gun units up at the front—fear the thickest of it, but its artillery, the 167th Brigade of field artillery, on the line, behaving like men, laying down a barrage for the infantry that was marvelously effective, and they established a reputation which has been made by few, among French, British or Americans, of laying down a barrage that did not entrap, and fatally so, their own men. This has been a glorious day for the black soldiers. The fighting is still on, and I have just received the invitation that the casualty toll may be heavy, depressingly so, for Metz, and the sector around about it, in strong-fortified by the Germans, and resistance determined. Metz is considered by experts to be the strongest fortified city in the world, almost, if not so, as impregnable as the fortifications of the Dardenelles. But the Americans are hammering away at it, and only the signing of the armistice terms by the Germans, by 11 o'clock tomorrow, will save Metz from falling. Even as it is, Colored soldiers are now on German soil. The husky inraders include the Colored soldiers of the 92nd Division, subranging to the 366th regiments of Infantry and 167th Brigade of Field The following letters were written by St. Louis boys in France, just before the final drive. No information from them, written since the aristocracy was signed, has reached The Argus office. BY SERGT. BAN W. EWELL. Co. M. 829 Industry, A. R. F. France. October 27 I am writing a few lines in regard to my health. This finds me with a blight, wound through, my left shoulder here in the American Hase Hospital No. 24. However, I am recovering and will soon return to my company, probably in a month. I was charging a German machine gun nest on September 21, 1915. Monday evening, at 4:20 P.M. M. However, only one shot counted for anything, the fire his arm had blown out shells, but I want until I fell. Sergeant H. A. Janson, Corp. W. E. Ellis, both St. Louisan, came and picked me up a shot, acted, fire from the enemy's machine gun and carried me to a place, of safety and shelter, from this billet. I can not put the needed stress suitable upon this sentence to picture to you my comrades' bravery under those skulls' fire. I wish I could tell you the whole of it, however, the enemy was put to flight and a good race horse would have had a job to keep up with them. I am proba- that 2 was shot. A man, killed gets the helmet, that our government, bestow upon him, two guns, parade rest, taps and present arms, but a Wounded man gets more, he gets a good bed, three hot meals and a nurse and doctor to wait upon him. This is where you really think of the war. Tell all the fellows hello. An Exponent of Truth and Justice SAYS THE LTY TOLL d ON LAST AS HEAVY Invade Gernan Soil. on Plays Big Role In etz. Wounds Fail To Sense Of Humor. Arbitrary, composed of the 369th, 350th and 351st regiments and the 317th Trench Mortar Battery, and all are conducting themselves with a fortitude and valor that have won for them high praise from their commanding officers every time they have been put to any test. Wounds Fall to Blot Out Native Sense of Humor. Two more stories have come to me to prove that our colored soldiers preserve and radiate their humor even where shells and shrapnel fly thickest. A colored soldier slightly wounded in the Argentine fighting—and let me assure my readers there was "some" fighting there—sat down beside the road to wait for a chance to ride to the field hospital. A comrade hastening forward, to his place in the line and anxious for the latest news of the progressing battle, asked the wounded brother if he had been in the fight; did he know all about it, and how were things going at the front. "I sure does know all about it," the wounded man replied. "Well, what's happened to them?" quickly asked the trooper on his way to the front. "Well, it was this way," replied the wounded fellow, "I was climbing over some barbed wire tryin' to get to them in Boches, and they shot me, that's what I know about it." A company water cart was following the advancing troops when a German shell burst in the ditch almost beside the cart. The horse on the shell side was killed, and the driver was wounded in the head. While the blood ran freely from his wound down his face, the driver took one look at the creackage and then started atumbling back along the road. A white lieutenant wandered and seen it all stopped the driver of the cart, and said: Before he could finish his sentence, the wounded driver, with the blood flowing in rivulets down his face, said: "Dressing station, hell! I'm looking for another horse to hitch to that cart to take the place of the one that shell put out of communism," that was a bit more grim humor, and a sense of fidelity to duty. A mere wound in the head could not stop this driver from keeping up with the troops with a needed supply of water. BY SERGIT, LOUIS J. MILLS, Battery, E. 269 F. A., A. I. E. France November 3. We are now on the front line where we are exchanging shells of all-varieties with the Hunt. I have been under fire several times, having a very narrow escape from a shrapnel shell that bursted almost over my head. It was some shock. The Colored boys are making good as artillery men. It is a joy to see them handle their guns. They can beat Fritz doing what he is trying to do to them. There used to be a very big gun of his which was the tervor of this sector, but we got its location and put it out of business. I am so hungry for home town news that when I get, the Argus I read every advertisement; even "Furnished Room" ones. I saw Lieutenant Lowe and Fearing yesterday. NY SERGT. W. SILKS PEARANCE. Bert.

R. H. Windser of Rayvill, La., and the Twelve-Star Service Pun Presented to Hint by the American Red Crown. Having the right to and needing a twelve-star service pin, the Rev. R. H. Windser of Rayvill, Da., a sealeen Red Green worker, has been presented with a unique decoration by the American Red Crown. The father of nineteen sons, twelve of whom are with the colors, this general colored minisuit of the Baptist church probably holds the record five sons in the military service of the United States. If there are any others with similar or better status, they are yet to be heard from. In the accompanying illustration of the twelve-star pin, topped with the Red Cross insignia, it will be noted that the first bar bears five stars. These represent five individual sons—Bennie, Robbie, Jeff, Johnnie and Archie. The next bar bears two stars representing twins, George and Lafayette; the next bar is similarly decorated, representing William and Jason, also twins; and the next bar, with its three stars, represents the triumph Mother Mary and John. Right of the bars are minisuits, and the other four were called to the stair. Upon hearing of the remembering record of the Windser family, President Wilson, who is also president of the American Red Crown, wrote to the Rev. R. H. Windser as follows: "I am writing to my with what interest and establishment I have learned of the fact that twenty of your sons are in the service of our country, and the through impatience waiting to follow them in. This is a splendid record, and I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. The edible fruits have proved immensely fun additions." L.A. COUNTY AVE. Preening CLUB J.

The members seemed to forget that the city is in the grip of one of the worst epidemics known in its history, and attend each service in large numbers. ... In the absence of the Presiding Elder, Dr. Peck preached at the 11 o'clock service. He announced his text, Exodus 32, Chap. 22th v. (latter clause) "Who is on the Lord's side?" Let him come unto me." Theme: "The importance of declaring Christ." The law carved upon the Tables of Stone and given to Moses by God on Mt. Sinat, formed the basis of all standards of law today, said the speaker. He clearly pointed out the ingratitude of the Israelites and the deteriorating effect the idolatrous worship of the Egyptians had upon their religion during their sojourn in Egypt. When the call was sounded by Moses only three responded. The question is individual, racial, national; it is ringing through the world today; "Who is on the Lord's side?" It is the principle that will govern the Peace. Conference where justice will be meted out to all. In coinclosing this eloquent sermon, Dr. Peck made an earnest appeal for some one to answer the call: "A young soldier in the full strength of his manhood and his young sister, responded to the invitation.... Dr. Dobblins, pastor of Wayman Chapel, preached a Holy Ghost Sacramental sermon that electrified his hearts. There were 200 communicants. The Presiding Elder preached at eight o'clock. The A. C. E.

With watchful and praying hearts, did the waiting congregation listen to the beautiful text announced Sunday, 11:00 a.m. Soon in the soul's deep revelry we fancied ourselves clad in the beautiful wedding garments, feasting at the marriage of the king's son, presently the scene changed, Dr. Hicks, through the aid of the Supreme Power, urged upon his people to clad themselves in the wedding garments of righteousness that they become the guest at the wedding feast of the King of Glory. 1:00 p. m. the several classes met in the class room.

We hope for her immediate recovery. 8:00 p. m. with the same intense interest, we accepted the text, latter clause, 1 Cor. 3:13. "The fire shall try every man's work for what sort it is." God knows the earnestness of every man's heart and will reward us accordingly. Let there be as many missionaries in our church as there are members, missionaries to bring others to Christ and add them to our number.

It is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding, what to use on your scalp, be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade 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 natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention 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 Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby the Quinasaoap. Quinasadap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is used in hair treatments very freely. It leaves the hair 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 Quinade and Seeby's Quinnasoak, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

Autocracy is dead in the world and here in America national prohibition and wrongful suffrage merely pause in the background to decorate their clarified wheels for a triumphal entry. Yet a glance about us even here in democracy's home, will warn us that the time is not yet at hand for us to dog ascensional robes and pin on our wings. We rejoice in the release of subject races, but we are reminded by a recent address of President Moorfield Storey of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, delivered before the Wisconsin Bar Association, that there live in our country today ten or twelve millions of native Americans whose constitutional rights—the right to vote, to a trial by jury, to protection of life and property—are habitually abridged or denied. Mr. Storey recites the Negro's exclusion from labor unions, the wretched quarters he is often forced to occupy in cities at unreasonable rents, the doors closed against him when he seeks a higher level, the discrimination against him in the matter of education in those sections where separate schools are maintained, white pupils often receiving ten or twelve times the appropriation per capita that the blacks receive. And, of course, Mr. Storey does not fail to advert to the glamly subject of lynchings. just now, when the world is still tender over its dead in the cause of liberty and when our President is sailing toward Europe to put into effect, it may be, his theses on the rights of man, is a very fitting time for us Americans to look into the corners of our own house-hold. As we mentioned the other day, 300,000 of our black citizens have put on khaki in this war for democracy. The press of the South, an eye-witness to the process, has been loud in its praise of the admirable attitude of the colored man toward the draft; his lack of slacking; his quick response to every appeal of the government, and the zeal of the Negro leaders that their race might make good in this time of test. On the field of battle we know, that the Negro made good. One whole regiment, as well as many individuals, was cited for bravery. More than a thousand were made commissioned officers. Yet when these men were thus laying their lives upon their country's altar, 219 Negro men, women and children were lynched; and, in addition, 155 woman and children as well as men were tortured, burned and killed at East St. Louis, in our own proud commonwealth, reminding us once again that mob spirit and racial hatred know no section. Some of the lynchings were accompanied by a friendishness never surpassed in Indian annals—eyes being gouged out with red-hot pokers and slow fires built to prolong the victims' torture—in one instance to four hours. This story of savagery has a familiar sound. We have heard it for four years from across the seas, different in detail, but the same in the bestial and ferocious spirit displayed. But the Hun, we are told, was indoctrinated by his masters with a belief in frightfulness. Whence comes ours? A distinction is to be made, to be shire. The victims of American frightfulness were charged, in most instances, with revolting crimes. But not in all, by any means, and in the horrible orgy of blood at East St. Louis the slaughter was indiscriminate, cloaking itself with no excuse. And we Illinoisans have in addition to remember that our own state capital, the home of Abraham Lincoln, has witnessed scenes scarcely less atrocious. Surely, the hour has struck for us Americans to cast the beam out of our own eye if we would see clearly, to cast the mote out of our brother's eye, in whatsoever corner of the earth he may live. Racial antipathies have accounted for most of the blood which drenches the pages of history, and that between the white and the black is perhaps the most deep-seated of all. But until we exercise this devil our preachment of the gospel of equal rights may at any time be rebuked by the cry, even from the lips of the blood-stained Turk, "Judge not lest ye be judged!" —Chicago Evening Post, Dec. 10. Negro troops from Louisiana have a linguistic advantage over other Americas living in stations where French still is spoken, are more or less familiar with It's the way I explained one.

NEGROES MUST UNITE WITH JAPAN AND ANCHINA IN CONDENING UNJUST DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE COLORED RACES OF THE WORLD. By H. F. Chamberlain; In my opinion God is giving the American Negro his last chance to demand his freedom and show to the world that he, like all other races, and nationalities of men, demands his rights. The time has come when Negroes must cease getting on their feet that he has in-hand begging for that which truly belongs to him as a man! Just as long as we practice, these humiliating acts never be respected by the world, but will forever be looked down upon as an inferior, discriminating race of people. Now the question is: is "the American Negro going to lag behind and be the only slacker of the Colored races, and allow Japan and our other brothers of color to carry our burden while we hang back as though we were a ARGUS—FIVE big bunch of curls with cold feet and a yellow streak? I say No! Let our leading men of the race wake up, get busy at once and see to it that the American Negro is strongly represented at the peace table, by taxing, if need be, every Negro, that can be reached in this country. I doubt that there would be one who would not give his or her fast dime or dollar to back these representatives of our race with that they may be able to join hands with our brothers of color in condemning discrimination which has for its basis, the color of an individual's skin. The following is a clipping from a Japanese Daily paper previous to the passing of the California Allen Land Law several years ago, which I have since reserved. Every American Negro should reserve this clipping, commit it to memory, and adopt it as his or her motto. And let us remember that, God only helps those who help themselves. Japs Demand Equality. TOKIO, Japan, May 17.—Iresponsible war talk was condemned by most of the speakers at a meeting, today, organized by an association representing partly business and partly educational interests at which some parliamentary representatives were also present. The speeches made by the majority of the educational representatives, in contrast to the other addresses, were sober and conservative. They gave expression to confidence that the Americans, with side with the Japanese if the Japanese steadfastly point out the unfairness of discrimination. It was, however, declared that the time had arrived when the Japanese must be given equal treatment with other peoples, and the speakers condemned the aggressions of the whites in the world against the colored races, the instance being given of the lynching of negroes in the Southern states. The purpose of Nazi Welfare University, in the course of his address, said: "God made the white and colored peoples equal. Unless we claim equality we shall fail to carry into God's wishes." This was received with cheering. A DREAM. (No Sooner Dreamed than Realized.) By Bernice V. Wheeler. I Twas the night before Peace When all thru the house. Not a creature "was stirring, Not even a mouse. II The doors were all closed, And locked with care. For "Safety First" Should the Kaiser come there. III Everyone was asleep. All slung in his bed. While this dream played Hayoc in my head. (Dream) IV Sitting at the switch-board. I heard such a clatter, And received inquiries as to "What was the matter." V The P. D. was telling what it all was about. When to my ears came a healthy shout. VI I lost control. All the bells seemed ringing. And, too, it seemed that people Were slinging. VII I couldn't hear, so what was the use. To keep the switch-board open And receive folks' abuse. So the switch-board was closed right on the spot. But my eyes were opened by the re- port of a shot. VIII Just one step and then a dash I was at the window with uplifted sash. Bells were ringing. People were stirring. Peace on earth good will to men. . SCRIPTURE CALENDARS. John D.

Are you denying the mental growth of your children from a 'real birthright'? Are you yourself, failing to broaden your own life, make more cheerful your own existence, by neglecting music? There should be 'music in your home!' it makes no difference how it is created, the music should be there. It should be a piano if the children are young, for the greatest accesses a young woman or man can possess is the musical. The piano or piano player, with its wonderful power to educate the uncultured ear and liberate the genius of the great masters at the touch of those who have learned to play or the phonograph, the wonderful instrument that brings the voice and instrumental creations of the world's greatest artists, comedians, singers, painters and orchestraists into the home and no limitations in its possibilities of pleasure, amusements and education. No matter which instrument you chose, these should be music in your home. We have pianos and plays as high and as low as you wish to, and you make the terms. Call Bomont 1722-W. CHAS. H.

The Knights of Columbus, of Jefferson Barracks, deserves great credit for their spirit of kindly helpfulness as well as their hospitality to the Colored soldiers at the Barracks, and to those friends who have from time to time sought to bring to them some degree of social pleasure.

The department urges, therefore, that wherever possible the destruction of these posts be a community undertaking. The same effort, it is pointed out, that is made by individuals working independently, it organized on a community basis, would be many times more effective. The department has worked out and tested definite plans for the destruction of rats, in common with other rodents, and information concerning the matter can be had by writing the department. Little Housing Is Needed For the Raising of Sheep: Fenced Pastures Important Equipment for raising sheep on farms need not be expensive. In mild latitudes, writes an expert, little housing is needed, and the main need is for feeding and features of sufficient number and size to allow frequent changing of stocks to fresh ground to insure health. Where winters are longer and more severe buildings and sheds are necessary to furnish protection from storms, though no special provisions are needed for warmth. Dryness, good ventilation and freedom from drafts are the first requisites of buildings for sheep. Convenience. In feeding and shepherding must also be held in mind, in location and planning, such buildings or sheds. Small flocks can be cared for in sections of barns having stabling or feed storages for other stock, but with a flock of, say, 100 ewes separate buildings are desirable. The interior arrangement of these buildings should be such as to require a minimum of labor and the least possible moving of the ewes in doing the feeding and caring for them during the lambing season. A building of this type can also be utilized for fattening purchased lambs to be disposed of before lambing begins in the regular farm stock. A good supply of feed racks, grain troughs, etc. can be provided at small expense and will save labor and prevent waste of feed. IT IS TO LAUGH Being Perfectly Polite About It. "I am so glad to see you," said the hostess, who was so furried that she hardly knew what she was saying. "I'm delighted to be here," the man replied, just to be polite, for he really considered the thing an awful bore. "It was awfully good of you to come. I didn't at all expect you would when I sent you the invitation." "It was fine of you to remember me, but of course I shouldn't have minded it at all if you hadn't." Of course the gliding couple's roller skate on a car had no chance against the old man's powerful reader. He sohn came up with these. "Do not take her back," plued the young man with tears in his eyes. "Take her back!" echoed the store parent. "Why. I have come to bring her knitting outfit and chewing gum so she would never have an excuse to come back." Heavenseque Delilahia "Neurasthenia," said Mrs. Bergums to her cook.

State Baptist convention in session at the Spruce Street Baptist Church, a colored church of this city. Dr. A. M. Townsend, formerly of this place, now the pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church in Memphis, is director of the educational rally.

These schools reported $40,000 raised by them for the year for educational purposes. Dr. A. R. Griggs, corresponding secretary of the educational board, addressed the convention and told of the fact that Nashville bids fair to get the national Baptist theological seminary that is so soon to be established.

SOUTHERN JUDGE SAYS COLORED MAN AS GOOD AS IS THE WHITE Jackson, Misi, Nov. 27 — "The jury believed the Negro disbelieved the white man," said presiding Justice Cook from the Supreme Court bench today, "and we find no cause for reversal." That remark was brought only on a resume of the testimony in case of R. J. Jennings, Gr. ya State, who had been convinced in the Tallahassee Court on the charge of pointing a plaint at a crowd of Negroes who were attending a Colored church wedding. Macid, Spain, Nov. 25—John Arthur Johnson, better known as Jack Johnson, the American philatite, parrowly escaped death about three miles from this city while driving his high-powered touring car.

His chauffeur was also hurt. Both were pinned under the wreckage of the car. The girl who was five year old, escaped unhurt. 1512TH REGIMENT, TURNED BACK AT SEA, PASS THROUGH CHICAGO The 1512th resident, under white oursels, who left Camp Grant three weeks ago Sunday, for France, were back at sea, after only one night out.
