St. Louis will honor its returned heroes of the Ninety-second Division Monday, when they will parade the city streets under the auspices of the Boosters. Many laudable things have been done to turn from their homes and social connections, by order of Congress, and sent thousands of miles from home, into another country, to stop the ravages of the Hun. They marched away cheering, but with a determination that meant the early end of the war. "Kaiser," and their prediction was virtually fulfilled. However they succeeded is shown in the report that they did the hardest fishing of any Americans in the last hours of the war. They were on their way to Germany and had the Huns run complete Nero unit that fought under the stars and stripes and was composed of men from nearly every state in the union and trained in various cantonments in this country. Their journey overseas it was active service in the Volunteer Mountains. The Sector operating against the wonderfully fortified city — Metz. In a brief review of the movements of the Ninety-second, Lieutenant WLP, Lowe of the 588th Inf. say: "We arrived in France on the 19th of June, 1915, and after a brief period of intensive training behind the lines, we were ready to take our turn on the front.

MANAGING EDITOR OF CHICAGO DEPENDENT PUBLISHES NEW HOME. (Special to the Argus.) CHICAGO, IL, April 16—Clay B. Roth, managing editor of the Chicago edition has purchased a two-fat dining at 45th and Grand Boulevard. In a modern structure with eight and seven rooms, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrences to go in their new home May 20 and June 16. The firm is now Transmitting to attend the dedication of the Pine Building. The firm may be named by Fisk, Barrett and is advised the second announcement of the Wichita Business in The St. Louis Argus 5:00 a.m. advancing on Champay, Bouieres, and the La Cote Hill and Wooda. The 1st Bn. 365th Inf. will be moved to the support of the 2nd Bn. inf., taking position in the Western Bols Frehaut. This Bn. will attack the position Champay and La Cote hill from the South and Southeast." I was commanding "A" Co. 365th Inf. infantry, which was elected an assault company and was given the task of leading the battalion into position. Each I called the non-commissioned soldiers together and explained the entire situation to them and they in turn explained it to the men. 4:00 a.m. m. found the company formed and ready for the order to move forward. There was great artillery, activities on both sides during the night, which forced us to be very cautious in our movement. We moved a single column with a distance of five miles, and our progress was very slow on account of the shall torn road and the unbelievable darkness. We got into the position for the attack without mishap and there awaited the designated hour for the assault. These were anxious moments. Absolute silence prevailed among the men, all the thundering of the military spoke more loudly than mortal tongues. Fear? No. Not in those men. They were veterans of many previous experiences. There was anxiety, because we were fully aware of the task before us. For four years the army suffered this position and had successfully delivered it to tracks. More than 20,000 allied soldiers had already made the supreme sacrifice on this same ground. We were attacking the southern defenses of the city of Metz, which the army had so carefully battled and had determined to contest every foot of the ground. We had met with much success during our operation in the sector and had not the ammunition in hand, am absolutely certain that the 92nd Division would have been a determining factor in the fall of Metz. We performed every task assigned with credit to the officers and men of the division, the race as a whole, as well as "Old Clory" under which we fought an aphraid the record of the Navy. Not only was the one extending from America's struggle for independence to the present day." NOTE—Lieutenant Lowe will speak at the Booker Washington Theatre this Saturday night and at the A. M. E.

Daniel, Davin, a farmer living in Prairie du Long, Illinois of the jorbs who convicted and sentenced Dr. Leroy N. Bundy to life imprisonment at Waterloo, March 28, was declared insane, April 7 and ordered committed to the asylum at Anna, IL. Attorneys for the defense, in their motion for a new trial, filed Wednesday, among other grounds set up the insanity of Juron Davis as reason for a new trial; basing their contention upon the fact that he was insane at the time he was a member of the jury that convicted Dr. Bundy. Their contention seems to be borne on one or more grounds developed by the Commission, in which Bundy examined, in that it was found he was suffering with an insanity of a progressive character, and that diseases of this kind developed slowly and extend over a long period of time and are not the result of ectopia or shock. Their motion for a new trial is being argued in Waterloo today (Friday). After the same is passed on, the attorneys for Dr. Bundy will ask that bail be fixed, but in the meantime Dr. Bundy remains in jail. WHITE SOLDIER GETS LIFE BENTENCE FOR MURDER Harold J.

Your race is always harping on the disgrace it white people take by a course of white people taking advantage of the dishonoring of a white woman if you would spend one-half the time that you do, in giving mudminton sympathy, to teaching your people not to lurk over white officers and disgrace our white women, you would keep down a thousand and times greater disgrace. We do not have any; trouble from Negroes have their own, their homes, have their own horses, but it is the roving, transient, irresponsible and unmarried element of tramp Negroes who bring all this disgrace on the country." In a lengthy reply, the secretary of the 'National' Association among other things says: "Speaking of educating, you suggest that our Association spend time teaching wanton, reckless Negroes. May I remark—that as Governor of Florida you, yourself take up the task of providing proportionate school facilities for Negroes in your state.

Dr. Peck gave a graphic description of the Jewish Civilization when Christ came and compared it with the condition of this country today. "Before America can become fruit bearing she will have to be pruned," said he. She will have to be tried as gold in the fire. Civilization is similar to humanity, it has three periods. Childhood. Maturity and Old Age. Like the Jewish Civilization, American Civilization has reached the Dying Stage and a new order of things must be brought about. The evening service was well attended.

"The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ; and He shall reign for and ever." The prophetic vision of the beloved apostle and the four kingdoms that preceded the present kingdom was the scope of Dr. Williams' sermon Sunday morning. In proving the validity of his discourse two of the major prophets' writings, Daniel and Isiah, were brought to the attention of his hearers. The pastor made it plain that we as individuals must play our part in bringing this prophecy to pass; that is, making this world become the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Sunday night he spoke from the 11th chapter of John, the 28th verse, "The Master is come, and called for thee." After discussing that sorrowful scene which all Bible students are familiar with concerning the death and resurrection of Lazarus, the pastor put the question to the congregation and reached his climax when he said, "The Master is calling for us today to do the work of a true missionary to assist those who are lost to the highest peaks of Christian civilization." Though the sermon was short, it was full of inspiration and hope. Sunday will be a day long remembered as seven souls united with the church. THE SWISS CHAIR CULTURE MRS. F. A.

CHAMPION BUCK DANCER AND STAR MUSICIAN FEATURE THE BOOKER WASHINGTON SHOW. A champion Buck Dancer and unusually good musical act are outstanding features of the show at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. Hattle Garland, the talented little singer and dancer, opens the show with three good song numbers, "After You're Gone," A Little Pansy," and "Shimme For Me." She wins applause, scoring her usual hit. Dudley and Dudley in a comedy act entitled "The Cook and the Waitress," furnish much fun. The female is comely, and in the character of a kid, captures the audience. They offer several songs and dances and close with "The Hop Scotch Blues," a song and figure dance. The act goes over nicely. "Perfecto," a musician, plays a concert accordan and furnishes a volume of music equivalent to a fair sized orchestra. His selections run from rags to the classic and draw heavy applause. Some of them, especially the sentiments, are extremely beautiful. The act is worth the price of admission in itself. "Rastu!" Brown assisted by a partner named Bundy goes the limit as a champion buck dancer. Brown has no peer and this week he is letting the patrons see his real talent. He does many novel things with his feet, such as, limitations of the soldier boys on picket duty, in attack, marching and drilling, horses going to a fire, playing an entire base ball game alone, and showing a variety of steps that complete the category of buck dancing. His act cannot be excelled. The Colored Moving Picture Weekly, being shown all the week will end Sunday night. Lieut. Lowe to Speak. Lieutenant Walter Lowe, direct from the trenches, will lecture at the Booker Washington this Saturday night. April 12 Lieutenant Lowe will lecture on our Ninety-Second Division Boys in the "Last Hours of the Battle" Next Week.

Dudley Musical Comedy Company in "Darktown Prollos," is a big review of favorite specialties. The program is a long one and includes a score of vaudeville acts, a minstrel part and a number of choruses. The female contingent is composed of unusually attractive beauties, handsome gowned. There are so many good features, they cannot all be described. Madem Willis, the leading lady, possesses a sweet voice and electrifies the audience with her singing; West and Fredericks, the comedians, keep the crowd laughing. Ollie Johnson, a slack wire is very clever. Of course Dudley and his mule are the center of attraction. They have their usual trouble and part as enemies. Dudley shines as a monologueist and scores a hit singing. "I'm Gone, That's All." There is every class of dancing, common to the stage, a number of good solo numbers, and a melodious chorus. Billy Crowly, a contortionist, and Elnora Wilson and Helen Brombay score in a sister act. An old-fashioned minstrel closes the show. The action of the production is built around two imposters of a king and prince and the entangling circumstances afford a world of real comedy. The Dudley Company will remain over all next week. There will be a matinee this Saturday and Sunday. The management also announces several changes in the bill and a number of St. Louis war heroes will be introduced to the audiences. There will be no show Monday night on account of the Boosters' Celebration. "HOMESTEADER" TO STAY OVER SUNDAY.

At the beginning of the season, Jeff Wetzel (then coach) did not make plans for their usual trips to Hampton, Pittsburgh and Atlantic City because the then coming season wasn't expected to reap financial harvest for any club due to the loss of players in the drafts and through enlistments. They scored 109 field and 54 (total) goals, making a total of 272 points in eight games. The club has appointed as physical director, Charlie Bradford, one of the most popular and resourceful men in the basketball world today. He is one of the greatest athletes ever turned out of Hampton Institute and today ranks with the best of Colorado pitcher. Last summer he held the New York Gladiator to 4-2 and 31 games, losing both due to the weak hitting of his teammate.

When I reached the rest camp, I found no barracks, nothing but a sea of mud — I lived in this mud for three days. We had orders to move, and only two hours to get to the train. We were loaded in cattle cars and not enough room to lay down at night. I traveled three days through the danger zone where I saw a hard battle between a German and American airplane. Neither one was brought down. We camped on No Man's Land only ten miles from the front where I had to guard prisoners. I was called to the front. I was anxious to go and do my part, although it was sad and hard, food and water one day, the next day not any. God being with me, I came away without a wound. On Nov. 2nd, a o'clock a.m. the Germans shot gas in our camp. We were called by the gas alarm, having our gas masks at alert. No lives were lost. I am now traveling through this European country where I see houses closed forever, father and son having been killed at war.

March 27—"Who does this world, belong to?" is the question the Japanese nation desires to have answered in a concrete manner by the Peace Conference now in session in Paris—The question is giving them concern to the various nations assembled, and particularly the United States. Not only is this country interested from the immigration viewpoint, but, also, from the viewpoint of the relationship of the American Negroes to the body politic. It is an open secret that the American Negroes are very much determined to get more favorable consideration from the government than has been accorded in the past. This is especially true of the South, but is applicable to every section of the country where open discrimination is practiced. While loyal to the government in every respect, there is no group of people who can better sympathize with the discriminations because of Race, that is being practiced upon the Japanese, and the citizens of that country are hold to say, that if the allies were sincerely in the principles for which they fought, there should be no color line anywhere in the world, but every nation and each individual in every nation, should be marked only by merit. CONCERNING YOUR HAIR INVENTION OF AN EXPERT CHEMIST 1ST. You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinna-soap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unqualued by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's, Quinade and Quinascap, asking for them by their full names. Price is 25c each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price, and we will mail them to you direct.

P.—When white Southern soldiers become indignant over the treatment accorded Negro soldiers it is time for the whole world to sit up and take notice. Major W. E.

When the men of the Buffalo Division marched away from the city," declared the major, "the streets were lined with people, who cheered the fighting Negroes on their way to fight the Hun. They were willing that they make the sacrifice, they were willing that they should risk their lives for freedom. And they cheered, cheered. "Today these men are returning. They are walking the streets of the city. And they are greeted not with cheers, but in silence. I protest as a Southerner—as a Southerner of entirely.

The white South is wide awake now with reference to the necessity of giving the Negro youth a fair and just education. Their own "sins of omission" in this respect seem to pick them to the soul, and in every section there is a new deal with reference to better education. Governor Hugh M. Dorsey was one of the speakers in the dedicatory exercises of Spelman Seminary new buildings this week, in honor of Laura Spelman Rockefeller, the late wife of John D. Rockefeller. Governor Dorsey declared that the state had been shortsighted in not doing more in the past for the education of Nero children, and he spoke strongly in favor of giving them practical education, Mayor Jas. L. Key also spoke, and advocated high school facilities, public play grounds and libraries for the Negroes. State Superintendent M. L.Prition spoke of renewed effort in teaching patriotism and home-building. NEW YORK, April 11.—By A. N. P.—New Yorkers, of both race civil sions, are getting their heads together in a frank and open way as the result of the recent occurrence in Harlem, where a crowd of more than 200 people waited for a motorman, who had flagrantly mistreated a Negro soldier There is no intention to minimise the effects of this state of affairs. In talking to the Negroes of the Harlem district, it is learned that there is no disposition to permit Greeks, Jews, Italians, Iriah and other foreign elements to carry on their nefarious conduct of exhibiting race prejudice. There is no disposition on the part of he Negroes to agitate disorder, but there is a burning determination to see that everybody gets fair play and square deal. That there may be other breakouts in New York if conditions are not improved, is attested by conservative leaders of both races who are willing to discuss present conditions. A studied program of insistence has been carried on here for sometime. Not only has there been a plan to keep Negroes out of certain lines of business, which money grabbing whites may be in, but when once the Negro gets in business, all sorts of schemes are resorted to, in order that his chances of success may be impaired. Mistreatment of Colored women and children by white ruffians has been tolerated in some instances to the breaking point, and particularly is this true with reference to discharged soldiers who faced German guns to make the world a decent place to live in." ATLANTA, Ga., April 11.—By A. N. P.—What is regarded as one of the most significant gatherings ever held in this country, took place in this city under the direction of the National War Work Council, for the promotion of reconstruction work among Colored people. More than one hundred pickled delegates representing the highest and most thoughtful type of Negro manhood and womanhood, attended, as well as a number of white social workers. Representatives were present from Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, North and South Carolina. Every person present had a vision and let it be understood that their object was to work without ceasing for equality of opportunity in the the fullest sense of the word. A summary of the program outlined to be carried out in every state in the South is: the removal of Jim crowism, equal traveling accommodations on public carriers, accommodations at public places, registering and qualifying Colored men and returned soldiers to vote. The slogan adopted for the work was "Push the Program." The subject of the "News Leaders" was given an airing, it being declared that no "hand picked leaders" would be recognized, that the people themselves must name their leaders, and at no event should they be known as "community workers." It was stated that too often, so called "Race leaders" are the mere tools of white men neither of whom have any real regard for the welfare of the Race. DETROIT, Mich., April 11.—By A. N. P.-Commemorating his Masonic life of half a century, a brilliant banquet was tendered—James Francis Rockards, 33rd Degree; Mason, and he was the recipient of many valuable gifts. CHICAGO, April 11—By A. N. P. - Scores and scores of the great daily newspapers of the country have turned "right about face" it appears, from the manner in which they are treating news affecting Colored people, both in news and editorial comment. It is a well known fact that the majority of the leading papers capitalize "Negro" when they are using the term, and, also, "Colored" when it is referring to our people. They have, also practically discontinued the use of dialect, in quoting Negroes, and have given more space in telling of the better side of the people in the last year, than was ever before used. This change of policy has not come about by mere happen so; but has been in result of a continued warfare against discrimination and injustice by the Race press, organizations and leading individuals. There are a number of newspapers such as The Boston Transcript, The New York Evening Post, Springfield, Massa, Republican and a few others that have always been known to deal fairly and squarely with all subjects affecting the Negro. Some were inclined to call them fanatical, but the hat the present condition of affairs merely prove that they were extending nothing more than simple American justice. The manner in which he newspapers of all sections of the co-entry have dealt with the news and encouraged the welcoming of the returned Colored soldiers from France, has become one of the bright spots in American history. The present condition of "social interest" throughout the world, has brought clearer and more forebaby to the attention of the thoughtful Amerci THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS can, that the most dependable and most loyal group of Americans is those of darker hue. This charged policy is having a wonderful effect on the respective communities, and the thoughts of the country at large, according to the best information that can be obtained by a careful investigation of the Associated Negro Press. It seems to be the beginning of a new eye in the life of the Race, and of the nation. CHICAGO. April 11.—By A. N. P. —The Negro voters of Chicago, more than 50,000 in number, have been acclaimed by the Democratic leader as the one contributing factor in the reelection of Mayor William Hale. Thompson as mayor. This fact was also attested this week by all of the daily newspapers, both in their news stories and editorially. Mayor Thompson was elected, according to present figures, by about 15,000 votes, and more than 11,000 vote plurality was given him in the Second Ward, said by the Chicago Tribune to be "the greatest Colored ward in the world." To this ward must be added the pluralities in the Third and Fourteenth wards, where thousands of Negro voters also live, and it is easy to be seen that Mayor owes his political success to the Negro voters of Chicago. Every daily newspaper in Chicago opposed the mayor. The last days of the campaign were imbittered by personalities, and many impatient white partisan opponents of the mayor; publicly denounced his "friendship for the Negro," which the mayor just as publicly acclaimed everywhere he had an opportunity, because, he declared in a specially prepared statement for the Associated Negro Press, following the election "I have given fair representation to the Colored people of Chicago because as Republicans they have helped nominate and chief of me, and, secondly, as American citizens, they are entitled to their quota of representation in governmental affairs. "They contributed their quota to the armed forces of the nation and performed valiant service for their country. From the records at hand it cannot be denied that they discharged their duties of American soldiers with as great a degree of bravery and heroism as any other element in the American armies." The election proves that the Negro of Chicago will not sell out and that he believe in standing by his "friends," declared Maj. R. J. Jackson, to the Associated Negro Press, "Chicago achievements give heart to the Negroes throughout the nation," he continued, "and we are in a position to accomplish great things if we pull together." Maj. Jackson, with Louis B. Anderson; re-elected, are the aldermen of the second ward. Alderman Anderson is one of he mayor's acknowledged floor leaders, and both menate regarded as being among the foremost men of the Council. The mayor's reelection assure the retention in office of E. H. Wright, Jr. George W. Ellis, assistant corporation counsel; Dr. A. J. Garey, who is prominently mentioned for bishop in the A. M. E. Church, and others. ALBANY. N. Y. April 1E—By A. N. P—Colone' William Hayward, of the "Old Fifteenth" New York, opened the Victory loan campaign here with an address before 19,000 people, in the Armory. His address bristled with interest from start to finish, as he related the events in which the Negro soldiers participated up to the signing of the armistice. Probably the most interesting story is the following, as told by the Colerel: "The American spirit is the greatest in the world." I saw my men when they first arrived in France buying German money of the Morocco troops. I asked them what they were doing that for and they said, "We were sent to France and we are here. You said we are going to Germany and we are going." When we reached the Rhine I had the pleasure of seeing the boys spend the same money in Germany, some of them talking Harlem German, and others a Yiddish accent. The spirit that prompted the boys to adopt the slogan of 'Hell, Heaven, or Hoboken by Christmas' was fulfilled, and was the spirit that won the war. That some spirit prevails today in fighting for justice in civil life." INDIANA POLIS. Ind., April 11.—E. A. N. P.-Rabbit M. F. Muerlicht, in a recent address here at the Y. M. C. A., on the subject of "True Democracy," declared that "the time comes for frankness and open court in dealing with the problems of race adjustment." He said that this country must note cut and exact justice to all if it proves true to its ideals. MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 11.—By A. N. P.-The Colored people of this community not only are determined to move forward in political and industrial lines but are just as much in earnest to advance along other lines of progress. There is at present a campaign on to raise $50,000 for the establishment of a community civic center. The plan has the endorsement of the white public. MASS MEETING OF THE THIRD CONSTABULARY DISTRICT Federated Musicians Hall, Compton and Market Street St. Louis, Mo., March 25, 1919 — Whereas, in August 1918, John W. Shine candidate for constable of the 3rd District, promised a delegation of Colored precinct committeemen that if elected he would appoint a Colored man as one of his deputies, and. Whereas. This message of hope was carried by he committeemen to the Colored voters of the district who rallied to the standard of said John. W. Shine, thus insuring him a large plurality over his opponent in the November election, and. Whereas. The said John W. Shine since his election, has set upon every means of subterfuge, evasion and sabbily to prevent the fulfill- unmet of his promise to the Colored voters, therefore be it. Resolved, by the Colored voters of the 3rd District in mass meeting assembled, that while yielding to no man or men in our loyalty to the Grand Old Republican party, we would be less than men were we to fail to on the pitiless light of publicity and severely condemn John W. Shine for his deceitful, hypocritical and ungrateful actions toward the voters of this district, and be it further. Resolved, That in his insolent arrogance, false pride, the said John W. Shine has violated his most sacred word of honor and has therefore proven himself unworthy of the consideration of all loyal Republicans, and we shall forever look with disfavor and suspicion upon his candidacy for an office of honor or trust, be it further. Resolved, That we heartily endorse the entire Republican platform and candidates in the approaching City election, and that we will labor with all our zeal and power to elect the same, and be it further Resolved, That we unanimously and unqualifiedly pledge to our honorable mayor, Henry W. Kiel, our loyal support. We point with pride to his six years of constructive policy, during which he has attacked the many difficult problems of the municipality with energy, enthusiasm and determination. He is patriotic, honest and true views with contempt the partisan and malicious slander of his enemies to smirch his name and impugn his motives. P. B.

My flesh was no sore I could not stand my clothes to touch me. The pains ran from my hip to my big toe, on the left side, and felt like a thousand needles were piercing my flesh. I did not rest day or night; now I can sleep like a baby from 9 at night till 4 in the morning. I was very nervous and depressed in spirit and the pains in my head, were so severe I thought at times I would lose my mind. I feel better now than I have since last August. I had not been able to be out of the house since October 23, when a friend advised me to try these remedies. After I had taken six doses of the New Discovery and the Blood and Liver Tablets, I could see a difference and when I had taken it steady for three weeks I was able to walk anywhere in the house.

Phone, Bornont 1452 SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Advertising Rates Furnished on Request THE MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION matter April 4, 1912 at the Post Office at Saint L. MEMBER MISSUFI LESS ASSOCIATION MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION JAPAN'S DEMANDS ARE JUŠT though a bomb had fallen under the news of Japan's demand for racial successful, satisfactory agreement on League of Nations Excited as though a bomb had fallen under the peace table in Paris came the news of Japan's demand for racial equality as a requisite to a successful, satisfactory agreement on their part to the plans of the League of Nations. The attitude of the European nations on this question, we are not in a position at present to state, but if the press of America can be relied upon as an expression of the sentiment of the American people, Japan's demands will be vigorously opposed. The news and editorial writers of the great metropolitan dailies seem to have discovered the time-worn nightmare "Social Equality" in Japan's demand, and are devoting much space to throw all the strength of America's racial prejudice into the conference that Japan's demand may be denied. Japan's demands to our mind, are reasonable and just. They only call for equal and just treatment of, the people of their country at the hand of the contracting nations. If the people of America are not ready for a fair and just peace, especially to one of their allies in the recent great war; if holding to racial prejudice is dearer to them than the lives of millions of the best blood of the nation; then why not call President Wilson home and our peace envoys to return, and let the war continue until men's hearts change. The very fact that some members of the Council are willing to form a League with their fellow envoys, and at the same time not willing to give their associates a fair deal, makes a farce of the League of Nations and renders it unworthy of further consideration. Japan is right. We cannot hope for abiding peace so long as racial discrimination and racial prejudice are acknowledged barriers for denying any man a fair deal. In as much as Japan is "not too proud to fight," and they have the men and munitions to back up their demands, they cannot honorably accept anything less. SEE THE BOMBING AIRPLANE ```markdown ``` THE BLACK ONLY SKIN DEEP An Editorial in the NORTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE of March 5, 1919. The "black devils" came home week before last and Chicago turned out en masse to welcome them. The "devils" were the city's colored regiment—the Eighth—who saw enough service to lose ninety-five men killed and over four hundred wounded. The "black devils" never quailed. They never took a prisoner. They fought with a rush and when they came back home the downtown streets were lined with hundreds of thousands, white and black, to see them march by. It was a splendid sight. Behind each company surged the mothers, sweethearts, and sisters of that unit. In perfect marching order, they swung along, helmeted and wearing every sign of soldiership; and as we watched them we thought: Here is a people whose grand parents were slaves, whose parents are to this day deprive of certain blessings of American citizenship, and who themselves had begun to feel the handicap of race. The are returning from Chateau Theirry and Belleau Woods, where they gave themselves in the finest demonstration of American citizenship. They forgave all. They forgot all. They were Americans, and the shout that accompanied their regular tread told that Chicago was proud to own them as fellow Americans. Would that their line of march could have taken them through every great city of the country! Would that those sections of the country where the Negro is despised and deprived of the common blessings of citizenship could have been honored! for it would have been an honor) by having this fighting Eighth swing down their streets in military order! And to think that this regiment, is but one of scores who fought as true Americans to preserve the liberties which to a no inconsiderable extent had been denied them. Really, there is a glimpse of character just here that has rarely been duplicated in the field of patriotism. Remorse of conscience landed one of the jurors who convicted Dr. LeRoy N. Bundy in the insane Axylium. We are sure that the remaining eleven should have the soundness of their judgment passed upon, for a prejudiced mind is incapable of giving a fair and just decision. Some of the Negro political workers are strong in their condemnation of John W. Shine, Constable of the 3rd District for his failure to keep his pre-election promise. Remember that there are other so-called good Republicans who are holding office in St. Louis that should not be overlooked. Any country that grants aliens and enemy aliens rights and privileges that are denied thier most loyal citizens needs a few strong common sense statesmen.
