[CRISPUS ATTUCKS AUXILIARY WELCOMES SOLDIERS Omaha has never had a more de lightful social function than the home coming reception tendered the re | turned soldiers last Friday night in j beautiful Dreamland hall by the Cris ! pus Attucks auxiliary of the Red I Cross* Nearly four hundred persons v ere present Mrs. Isaac Bailey, president of the | chapter, gave a most gracious wel ! come. She said: "Since the news of the war’s end Crispus Attucxs auxiliary has planned many occasions that would appropri ately and adequately express the wel come we desired for you, the returned soldiers. We were sorry to part with | you, but withal there was a feeling of i supreme consolation in the parting that you would do your duty and do it well. And now that you have we are endeavoring to extend to your the greeting of welcome you so justly de seive. It was a question in our minds as to the nature of the entertainment—that would be most enjoyable to you as our guests. We thought of a picnic, but pic nicks suggest woods, and some of you perhaps are not overly anxious about seeing any more woods. It was suggested that we have dan cing, this idea seemed to lodge be cause we felt thereby we would strike the happy medium in variety. At the dancing we could have a program, lit n'vry and lunching. 11 the literary program we could '•ndeavor to express the full measure -f our welcome to you and in the d ncing and lunching we should find vour approval and appreciation, and in this variety we hoped to find the spice of life. Now that your services in the great est war the world has ever known t r - over and vou have returned to your homes and various vocations, wav you maintain the spirit of sacri fice our justice and righteousness that '• been inculcated in you through these trying years. The state of affairs throughout the world during the past four years should have taught lessons that will make for better men and women and ' t vo shown how all important we ’"aintain with ceaseless vigilance our known high standards of morality and citizenship. You have made a won derful record one of which we all feel justly proud. May your deeds be J written in history and not forgotten soon. In all our country’s wars Negro blood has been weighed on the scales I of patriotism and has never been found wanting from the days of Cris pus Attucks to the present. So Crispus Attucks auxiliary of the 1 lted Cross, not perhaps most hastily, | but surely most heartily and sincere ! ly welcomes you home. And I am sure i it is not an unwarranted assumption t:> also welcome you home on behalf of wives, mothers, sweethearts and j friends.” She then introduced in turn the fol lowing speakers: Rev. John Albert 1 Williams, Lieut. Amos P. Madison, At torney A. W. Lewis and Lieutenant H. J. Pinkett.
