- Lieut.. l.. ". LinvilIe, the son of
Judge and Mrs. J. P. Linville OF
Holly, was among the Prowers
county contingent in the service
at Camp Funston who was permit
ted to spend the Thanksgiving
season ut home. Lieut.. Linville's
furlough permitted him to remain
here only for the week and he
returned to the camp on Sunday.
LO received his training at the First
Officers Reserve Training Camp at
Fort Riley last summer, acquitting,
himself with such distinction that
his commission followed at the close
of school. He is now drill officer at
Camp Funston. assisting the other
officers in working into condition
the $1,000 draft recruits at the can
tOnment. tA
: Lieut.. Linville reports the work
progressing nicely ut the camp and
is enthusiastic in his praise of the
fellows in training. With less than
three months instruction they have
already become remarkably prof
cient and will soon be in condition
for service. The Holly boys at the
camp are making splendid record,
a record of which PrOwers county

be proud. Lloyd Davis came III for

Entertainment is provided and
everywhere the boys seem to enjoy
the routine and to appreciate the
manner in which they are being
cared for. t.a
Lieut.. Linville states that French
myers are now assisting with
the training at Camp Funston, in
structing in trench warfare tactics
and the use OF the Frnch 75< en-. gun
which will be used by the artillery
tgiinents. 1t is thought that the
instruction by French officers in the
environments will obviate the nee
essity for much of the supplement
tary training which has heretofore
been given after troops have reach
ed France.
1t looks quite probable at this
time that the S5th division, which
is made up of the recruits from Colo \
rado, New Mexico, North and South
Dakota, Kansas and Missouri, will
be sent to the continent as early as
March OF next year and If this is
done the boys from Holly, including
Lieut.. Linville, will see active SER
vice at an early date. During the
period OF the war Ft. Riley will be
used as base hospital for the sick
and wounded from the S5th divi-
sion.

CAUSES OF EXODUS.

President Battle, in discussing the
situation in Springfield, Mass, said:
until recently negro labor has
been largely an asset to the south, but
the million negroes who have left the
south within the last twelve months
have made desirable change in the
whole labor situation. say desir-
able, because the negro clement has
been sought by northern firms and
agents with good offers and pressing
invitations verging on the imperative.
The shortage of labor has been mos,
keenly felt in the factories, on the
railroads and in domestic service, and
comes at a time when more than, the
usual laborers are needed. The negro
has been found to fit well into these

NEGRO LABOR
FLOODING NORTH
More Than 100000 Have
Left the Cotton Planta-
ton For the City.
BETTER OFF IN SOUTH
Unacclimated Negroes Dying
Like Sheep With Rot In
Northern Hospitals.

The flow OF negro labor from the
south to the north during the past
year is placed at more than 1000, 600
by Wallace A. Battle, president Of the
Okalona, Miss, y Industrial school,
according to the Springfield Repub-
lican, which publishes an interview
with him. While he thinks the emf
grafton OF negroes from the south to
the north is good for all concerned,
he thinks there should come a halt in
the indiscriminate emigration, and that
only negro persons suitable for the
conditions of the north should be sent
there for employment on farms and
in factories and domestic service.
The situation resulting from the inn
portation of southern labor by north
ern manufacturers has been seriously
complicated in northern cities because
of the spread of pneumonia and tuber-
culosis, due to the fact that the ne
groes are not acclimated and that they
are improperly housed and fed. In
regard to this the Philadelphia North
American says:
"More.than 700 of the 10000 south
ern negroes wire came to this city
within the last three months. over.
taxing housing facilities, are dying
with pneumonia and tuberculosis.
More than 1000 are i'll with the two
diseases and 1000 are in distress of
various kinds.
These figures are contained in a
report made by physicians who have
investigated the conditions of these
people. Many of the cases are dis
covered too late to be cured. Weather
conditions to which the negroes are
not acclimated, overcrowded houses,
lack of sanitation and proper nourish'
ment,, are the causes given for the
conditions.
/ "Of all cases OF illness among them
which were inspected by the physi-
clans, go per cent are suffering from
pneumonia and tuberculosis, and 70
per cent of those affected are dying.
The Douglas and Mercy hospitals, the
two negro institutions of the city,
have every bed filled with patients,
and others constantly arriving must
now be cared for by other institutions.
Despite the conditions, scores Of
other southern negroes continue to
arrive in the city daily, and the prob
lem has become one Of the most seri-
Gus of its kind that the city has had
to deal with in years.
