Captain Temporary Lieutenant Col
oneD T.. C. Bryant, tho officer COM
manding the British forces, landed at
rome with tifty-seven Europeans,
five hundred and thirty-five native
soldiers, two .295 guns and two
thousand carriers. The twelfth and
thirteenth were occupied in organ
lZing tho base and Oh the fourteenth
the forces advanced inland along the
line OF railway, the bridges OF which
had been broken down by the re-
treating Germans, to Toglekovo,
where the wireless installation, which
had been erected there had been
destroyed
AT about three p. NJ. on the fif-
toenth, touch was made with tho
enemy at Lilikovc, tho bridge over
the river Lili being blown up, as tho
British troops approached. Tho ad-
vance Was delayed by the extremely
Glillcult nature OF the country and
Licutenant-Colonel Bryant found It
necessary to btvouac at lGllune, the
enemy having been driven back. The
loss on the British side in this Skin
mlsh was one native soldier killed,
and ono European non commissioned
officer and two native soldiers wound
cd. a long train Of twenty vehicles
was found wrecked on the railway
bridge at Ekune.
In the meantime a smart little ac-
ton had been fought by the G Com
pany of the Gold Coast Regiment,
under Captain Potter. At about four
A. M. on the fifteenth, when tho
company was halted close to Ekune,
a train Was heard to PASS down the
line in the direction of Tcevie. Steps
were taken to block the line near the
bridge and soldiers were disposed in
a position to attack the train as it
approached, while tho rest of the
. company advanced on Agbelufoe Sta
ton. Another train now approached
, but succeeded in escaping to the
North. Agbelufoe Station was occu-
pied and Captain Potter disposed his
, forces 50 as to intercept the enemy's
retreat to the Northward.
Attacks were made by the enemy
during the evening and night, but by
this time tho advance of the main
British force was making itself felt,
and they fed back to their train and
surrendered to Captain Potter. The
. number Of the enemy Was reliably
computed at two hundred, greatly
, outnumbering the British forces op.
: posed to them.
Out Of thirty Germans with this
force, twenty-five were killed and
captured. AS result Of this action
thirty miles of railway to the North
or Agbelufoe were captured intact,
including the important bridge over
the River Haho, seven miles North
OF Agbelufoe, besides tho wrecked
train at Ekune, two engines, ono
Maxim gun and Quantity Of arms
and ammunition.
At seven A. M On the sixteenth,
two European prisoners were brought
in, one Of whom proved to be Baron
Codelli, the designer Of the great
wireless station at Kamina The adj
vance of the main force towards Ag-
bclufoc Was continued and contact
made with tho enemy at GAM Kofe,

THE NEGRO SOLDIERS OF
AMERICA:
WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR

(By Lucian b. Watkins\
We Highland for DEMOCRACY.
LORD, we are glad Of this sweet
chance
To brave whatever bells there be
Beside the bleeding heart Of France!
We fight-for all who suffer pain,
we give our souls in sympathy;
We fight that Liberty may reign
From Derlin--unto Tennessee.
To Tennessee-where last we saw
internal brands Of death applied
To men-our men, within the law,
But "lawless" as they moaned
and died.
In Tennessee-where vain, it seems,
Have been the gifts of passing
years,
Where vain have been the eternal
And toll Of Lincoln, sad with tears.
In Tennessee-where Lies best part
Rich pearls are cast before the
swine"
CHRIST'S GOLDEN RULE that
rules the heart
And keeps man nearer Tho Divine.
In Tennessee-where Wrong is
Might
With Hate and Horror on the
throne,
Where GODS DEMOCRACY of
LIGHT
AND LOVE, it seems, has never
shone.
In Tennessee-and all her kin
or sister criminals, year by year,
Who've lost the consciousness of sin,
The tenderness that is n tear.
We Highland for DEMOCRACY }, 1
Well dare Atlantics tragic foam
Go "over the top,"-Lord, let us see
PEACE AND IT'S HAPPINESS AT
HOME!
