HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. "a.
Twelve white men, civilians,
police officers and national
guardsmen, were killed and
more than a score of persons,
men, women and children,
were wounded in an outbreak
here tonight of negro soldiers
of the Twenty-fourth United
States infantry, stationed here
to act as guards during the
construction of Camp Logan,
at which the Illinois national
guard will train. 1t is not
known how many negroes are
dead.
Capt. ]. w. Mates, battery
A, Second Illinois field artil-
lery, was among the dead, be-
ing killed when he tried to
demonstrate with the negro
soldiers who were running
amuck, firing their guns.
The outbreak is supposed to
have originated in a difficulty
which two negro soldiers had
with police officers who ar
rested them for disturbing the
peace and sent them to the po-
lice station early in the after
noon. The firing began when
an ambulance started thru the
section occupied by the negro
soldiers. They stopped the
ambulance, and, firing a vol
ley, riddled it. 1t was this
volley that wounded a 16-
year-old white girl standing in
her fathers store.
Police Reserves Fired On
Police reserves were sent out
and were met by volleys from
the negroes. Civilians went to
the assistance of the police Of
ficers and firing continued for
an hour and a half. 1t is be-
lieved that several bodies will
be found in the prairie around
the negro soldiers camp in
the morning.
There were several hundred
Texas guardsmen here ready
to entrain for training camp,
but they had no guns. A bat
terry of the coast artillery was
rushed to Houston in motor
trucks and the situation at
a. m. was quiet.

To the Folks at Home:-I will drop
you few lines to let you know that
l received my share of the Thanks
giving fund and wish to thank every
one that contributed to it. We had a
very good dinner Thanksgiving con-
slsting of turkey and everything else
that goes with it.
We also had passes good for two
days and several of the boys went to
Los Angeles. We get four days at
Christmas time and four days New
Years, so several of the boys who
have some of their relatives living
anywhere in the state can visit them.
A new order has been published by
the General in Command that every
man must pass an examination on the
duties of soldier and have a qualifi-
cation card before he can leave camp,

eountry's flag and all that is stands
for. We come in tired and hungry,
but before we eat We say good night
to the flag and that is why ve dress
in our best This is one of privileges
We have which no other person but we
can have Even the President of the
United States cannot stand retreat to
Our Flag. He may watch US do it SO
you can see what privilege We have
As the flag goes down it it is gent
ly folded up and put away for the
night Greatest of care is taken that
Old Glory never strikes the ground as
it is put away. Old Glory has never
touched the ground and never will be-
cause of the principles she stands for
and the loyalty of her citizens.
When we file out in rank as the
flag goes down with chests thrown
out you say to the world: Look me
over am an American soldier and
l an taking care of that flag up there
and if you think you are going to do
anything to it, come and see US first
and then do anything. if you dare"
That is why We stand at attention and
say goodnight to Old Glory.
The boys from Colorado have the
distinction of being "hard boiled" as
they say down here. That it does
not take long for US to get into trim
and get the drift of things. The boys
at our barracks got the lead on the
other companies around US and we are
going to keep it up. Not only in one
way but in all things. We lead our
unit in Liberty Bond subscriptions
and every body around US knows Just
where we are from.
The folks at home do a great deal
in making the spirit we show. know
no other place which shows the inter-
est and appreciation in her boys than
do the people in Colorado. Julesburg
and Sedgwick county are certainly
not behind the remainder of Colorado
in her loyalty to her boys.
Not only in the great work they are
doing for the Y. NJ. C. A. and Red
Cross work but through their schools
and churches and various other insti-
tutions. Nor does the individual
spirit lack in making US comfortable
and happy.
This spirit of loyalty and patriotism
can't help but be infused into our work
and when We go to France we want to
make the Nation know that Colorado
is doing all in her power to redress the
wrongs for which this Nation is fight
ing.
l might say that on THANKSGIVING
day we were very thankful for the
many remerbrances sent to us by the
homefolks. If you could have but seen
us on that day l am sure is would
have done your hearts good. For to
be so remembered was very joyfully
received and the way the boys sang
made merry on that day could only be
appreciated by glimpse of our hap
py faces as no words can write
would describe the boys.

Mr.. Editor:
For the interested
friends have left behind, l will
write few paragraphs of my life at
Camp Funston.
We are located on the Kaw river, in
a large valley surrounded by hills OF
rough and rocky soil Fort Riley
which is three miles distant, is the
geographical center of the United
States, and is marked by beautiful
monument.
The life here is much different from
my former style of living, but con
sidering the cause we are here for,
find everything very satisfactory.
The buildings in which we live ar,
large enough to accommodate $50 men
which constitutes a company. The,

ments given by the Y. NJ. C. A. ant

and the welcome one gets makes I
worth while.

any one but after nearly three months
one can see it as a we'll directed plan
with a steady driver at the wheel.
Soon this army will land in France
with such force that this Kaiser fool
ishness will get such shock that you
can feel it at Julesburg. And when
they make the hill am betting that
the Sedgwick county boys will be with
the leaders.
l visited the Post laundry today,
where nearly 300 women are at work,
mostly soldiers wives. This govern
ment has provided building with the
best sanitary conditions, which is true
of the entire cantonment.
The report that SO many are dying
here is absolutely untrue, and if it
was true the death rate would still be
small for this camp has nearly fifty
thousand population. Taking every
thing into consideration, this is about
the best job we ever had. We all get
our pay whether we earn it or not.
Each unit is provided with an in
firmary where they treat all the sick,
sending the cases that require special
treatment to the hospital at Ft. Ril-
ey. went over to the infirmiary the
other evening with heart trouble. They
said my heart was missing a couple
of cylinders and recommended trip
abroad?
All our wants are amply cared for,
and what is lacking our many friends
from Colorado provide with lavish
hand. The good people of Colorado
Springs sent cases of jelly (more than
enough for our Thanksgiving dinner.
A lot of glasses were labeled "For a
Soldier Boy" We are allowed two
half holidays each week, which helps
to keep up our sweet temper.
