On The Way
To Kaiserland
By Private M. J«>rdon
Camp Funston, Kas.
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

tive Atlanta Negroes with an endorse

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.”
