certain indifference on the part of the
Kansas City Star concerning us look
ed up at this Institution and seemed
to challenge it to criticise the thous-
ands of Colored people who were pass
ing it. We noted however, a por-
ton of the office staff giving us the
glad hand and cheering us on. We
are thankful for this, and those who
expressed themselves obviously were
true Americans. In the moment they
stood above the line OF color and felt
the atmosphere of pure patriotism,
SO much for the Star,
We drop down to 18th street and
keep going. The workers in the big
factories on each side of the street
show hearty and unbounded applause.
One large concern filled their hundred
or more windows with cheering on
lockers, chiefly women. But the big
Carnie-Goudie Company engaged the
utmost attention from all the march
ers with a massive streamer which
read Goodbye and Goodluck." At
this all cheered. Add to this the still
loud and happy emanations of the
band and the continuous whoop of
marchers and auto horns and it was
now pandemonium.
We are now at the approach of the

White people seem scared. 1t seem
ed that it was understood that Neg
roes would take the place. And they
did. Still, no lights fell down. The
supports of the building remained in
their concrete order The water
founts did not go dry, nor were poison
ed. The only unusual occurrence was
the big jam at the outlets where Gag
erness coupled with some roughness
was displayed-it was the only thing
that seemed to reflect on the whole
demonstration. This can be avoided
in the future. Colored people have
got EN- all parts of them. They have
got the temperament and talent of
great people. 1t takes frank,
clean race, without guile to rise to
these occasions so splendidly. Here
let us point out for once, the value of
leadership. We have got to have
somebody to rise to every public need
and tell us that the stuff is in us and
make us demonstrate it ourselves.
Every time this is done in a tangible
way we are moving on up to the
front with the foremost American
groups and We are becoming a step
more progressive. Then hats off to
him who fathered the idea. Hats
off to the Committee who cooperated.
Hats off to the speakers. Hats off to
the Marshal of the day and hats off to
somewhere around 10000 Negroes
who turned out to cheer our boys on
their way. 1t was grand and great.

with the commanding quality OF
General, backed up by the eXperien-
ced counsel of the Editor of the Sun,
Mr.. j. ]. Mattjoy Grand Marshal of
the day, formed twelve thousand OF
enthusiastic Negroes into marching
order exactly at 8; 80 a. m. last Thurs
day morning. Negroes who were out
to give expressions to their feelings
of patriotism and they did, oh so
great AS early as seven o'clock Mr..
Crews and other committeeman were
busily engaged doing the things which
were soon to cause the mass of peo-
pie to burst forth in arrayed order.
What was il all about? You know
and | know The drafted boys, black
boys if you please, were leaving for
Camp Funston and we their friends,
brothers, mothers, fathers sweetheart
and comrades were there to cheer
them on. While the Grand Marshal
was forming the many platoons,
groups, stand bearers, postures, signs
and vehicles, appointing and reap
pointing. ordering and reordering, the
draftees, who had already marched
from the Local Board up to the Paseo
"Y" were being addressed by various
speakers in short talks-all of one
theme-America Must Win This
War and Negroes Must and Will Glad
ly Do Their Part. The acclamations
of that vast, happy, joyous, delightful
crowd testified that they understood.
And they cheered and cheered, leap
ed in the air, waved their flags and
went wild with enthusiasm, while the
big singing chorus standing by sang
"Over There" One draftee was heard
to exclaim that he felt like he could
excel the exploit of the two black
heroes who recently whipped 20 Ger
mans, They start and swing out on
the last turn of the Paseo at 18th
street. They move along and stretch
out to 18th street without phasing the
thousands who wait for place in the
line. Turning West the eMarshal dis
covers thousands disposed to march
in groups along the curbing. These
were promptly commanded to fall in
and they swelled the ranks to the
mighty. Looking back from the front
on the coming thousands in line, one
could see what could have easily en-
bodied "Black Town" only the black
