Early Monday morning, August 5, relatives, friends and sweethearts gathered at the Union station and, mid "roaring cheers" and “screaming yells” bade au re voir to the most enthusiastic group of young men Omaha has ever sent off to the train ing camps. Soon after the men arrived at tin station they were comfortably seated, and their iron horse with black mane thrown to the wind sped away. Aftei the last street had been crosseel and the last house had been passed and the last bystander had waved adieu, the men who were tottering under the mental excitement fell asleep. Their sleep was of short duration for it was not long before they were wide awake and amusing themselves; some were enjoying the country breezes, some were watching the beautifu' landscapes, some were praising the large farms or counting the mib posts, some were waving at the toil ing farmer, while others were enjoy ing or praising their gifts, but all were enthusiastic and happy. Such were the comments on the i gifts: "God bless the Red Cross.” “I am glad I am a member." “The Red Cross is the soldier's mother.” “Three cheers for the Commercial club.” “The Commercial club is or the square.” One young man who was reading a beautiful little bible held it high ir the air and cried “Long live my church.” In many of the little towns along the way the boys were given a great reception. They left the train an<! mingled with the astonished citizens Some went to nearby stores and bought cakes and pies. One young fellow went into a hotel and found a slice of watermelon. He was almost lynched. Another youngster went so far away the train started away; he met a fellow with a bicycle and over took it, mid great applause. A mem ber of division 5 delivered an ulti matum to a member of division 3 foi kissing his'girl. War was declared. After a hard struggle No. 5 was flanked on the left and at the >ame time his front line defense (trench mouth), was smashed and a heavy bomb was droped on his head. No. 6 retreated in confusion. We ate dinner at noon. Some of the boys who were not used to eating on a moving train fed their nose abou as often as their mouth. We arrived in Kansas City at 5 p. m, and left at 11 p. in. Many friends awaited uf there. During our stay a large troop train crowded with white soldiers stopped beside uf and many of the boys were from Omaha; great w.a our meeting. About an hour after the white soldiers left a 16-coach train arrived from St. Louis with Colored boys for Camp Funston. We wen switched onto the rear of their train and we arrived at Camp Funston at 6:30 Tuesday morning, just in time for ‘breakfast. From that hour we began to breathe the atmosphere < f the army. We were inarched to a rest room where we dropped our bag gage and went for breakfast. One of our boys called for a face wash. ! He was toid to eat first and wash afterward. After breakfast we had to wash our plates and clean off the 1 places where we ate. The beginning of army life was a : little exciting, but it was funny. Aft- ' er the plates were inspected many j of the boys were sent back to wash ; theirs over again. We returned foi i our baggage and started on the fast est and most systematic examination ! | we ever witnessed. Seemingly we I were examined by a thousand physi cians. We did not know a fellow had so many places foi; examination. All but two or three pased that examination, and now we are in the detention camp undergoing the real examination. We are supposed to stay here about three weeks, then we will be allowed to enter thp main camps. I wish it was so all Omaha could take a peep at our present home. A little city made to order with about 6,000 boys from all over the country. We are situated in a typical western country, where- the blue clear sky and the dry air are nature’s remedy for the weak. We are surrounded on three sides by beautiful green hills and on the other by a winding stream. 1 wish vou could see nnv sanitary streets, without even a match stub or a cigar butt laying around. Our church grounds on the hill side-, our Y. M. C. A., our dance hall, our gym nasium hall and our athletic fields and our drill grounds. I wish you •ould see the different companies on a march or hard at work on the drill ground, and see the boys on thp ath - letic fields at their sports or hear the | boys sing. Our natural surrounding is beauti ' ful, our boys are happy and our Uncle Sarnie is making soldiers out of us. If you are desirous of a good trade, i call and gee Poro Jones. MOB Bl'RNS PROPERTY IN OKLAHOMA TOWN — According to press dispatches from | Dewey, Okla.. a mob of more than five hundred white people set fire to , and burned every Negro home in a section of that city Monday night. August 21. Just how many persons were burned alive could not be learned, but sufficient to say that a large num- i ber lost their lives or perished in the flames. Only one Negro home was j sparer), that of an old woman. Bad feeling had been brewing for several days, due to labor trouble and strikes are said to be the principal cause of the trouble, but the direct cause was precipitated when a Negro, Ned Widlow, shot the chief of police and another man. who attempted to arrest Widlow for disturb ng the ' peace. Feeling against all Negroes was | high, ami it is feared that many in nocent persons have been murdered EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO PRESIDENT WILSON Atlanta, Ga.—A letter has been sent to President Wilson from representa tive Atlanta Negroes with an endorse ment and expressing deep gratitude for the president’s recent address de nouncing mob law as a “disgraceful evil.” Many prominent Negroes of Georgia and Alabama signed the let ter, which said in naif: “We regard your address as th' most significant expression emanat ing from the White House since Lin coln wrote hi.- emancipation procla mation. “We thank you, praise God and take courage.” THREE MEN NOMINATED FOR THE LEGISL \Tl BE Charleston.
