Dr. L. K. Williams, A. B., of Chicago, III. Dr. L. K. Williams, A. B., of Chi cago, 111., at Zion Baptist Church, 2215-17 Grant St., Sunday, June 24th, in Church Rally, to help raise funds for Auditorium. Don’t fail to hear this great preacher; he has just held a rally in his own church, raising more than $6,000 at one collection. Every citizen in Omaha ought to help erect this much needed building. May we count on you? A rare privilege to have Dr. Williams with us. Hear him. REV. W. F. BOTTS, Pastor. headquarters Training Camp, Co. 13. Fort Des Moines, la., June 13, 1917. Editor The Monitor: I will endeavor to give you a slight insight to our camp as far as we have gone. Mr. Pinkett and myself arrived in Des Moines Monday evening at 9:40, one hour late. We then went to the residence of Mr. Harrison Gould, one of the prosperous citizens of Des Moines, a very active member of the A. M. E. Church. After a good night’s rest we reported the next morning to the post Adjutant and given our as signments. I was the thirteenth man on the list and was assigned to Co. No. 13 in the first barracks. I sup pose if I had reported on the 13th I would have had a combination of thirteens. All of the Nebraska men are in Co. No. 13, and in the same squad room. The regular men of the army that have come for the training are the cream of the U. S. army, and there is quite a contrast between them and the white soldiers with everything ♦ in our boys' favor. We are fed good wholesome food, we have no com plaints whatever to make. We also have two Colored commissioned offi cers, Captain Phillips and Major Ford. They will be instructors and our time i will be thoroughly occupied from five j in the morning until retreat and then study from that time until ten, then to bed, and the same thing over the next day. Three demerit marks will dismiss from camp. One will get a demerit mark if he is not in bed at ten. Second, allowing women undue privileges. Third, inaptitude, lack of study and lack of diligence in appli cation. Every man has made up his mind to win a commission. From the conscription that was held June 7, twenty-five Colored regiments will be formed, making a total of twenty-nine with the four we have, to be officered with Colored men. Saturday we will be inoculated with typhoid serum. We met a particular friend of Ser geants Bailey and Letcher, Sergeant Barrows of the 10th Cavalry, a very fine man. In fact, we have met many fine men. I think that I will stop for the Present as I have so many rriends to write. I will write you a general letter from time to time to The Monitor. • Yours sincerely, EDWARD TURNER, Student Officer. MOBS AT COLUMBIA, MISS. Reports have reached The Monitor that one Negro was lynched and one burned last week at Columbia, Miss. The first was lynched because of his supposed complicity in the death of Reese Johnson, who was robbed, beaten to death and thrown into a pond. Both newspaper reports and verbal reports have it that many Ne groes took part in the event. The second man was burned because he drank out of a cup reserved for whites at a barbecue.
