WARS DEMANDS.

Men and women coming from the
theater of the war are surprised that
our people are not thoroughly alive
to their full responsibilities in this
struggle of the world against the
Prussian caveman They complain that
while we are liberal enough with
money, the spirit of the war and what
it means in our future has not be-
come planted in u hearts. We ad-
nit with a cheerful and condescend-
ing smile that we are not organized
for a war of such tremendous proper
tions, but will "muddle through"
So We who stay at home, put up our
nom and some of us observe the
food regulations, and consider our
whole duty done.
What we will have to do before we
get through with this Prussian butcher
is to face facts as the people of Great
Britain, France and Italy are facing

4, We must go far beyond paying

them. We must go far beyond paying
money TO prove u patriotism, must
cease to look upon war work as a new
and exciting kind Of bridge or golf,
must go without food when our sac
rifce helps the men we have sent
abroad, must help the farmer gather
his crop, must forget petty partisan
ship in politics, and we must strive to
reach a higher plane Of citizenship to
Justify the reason for our W. ex-
istence as a nation.
To say which one of these "musts'
is the more important is impossible,
because they make a chain in which
there should be no weak link. The
food requirement comes very near
to US in a material way. We are told
that food will win the war, but do we
realize exactly what that means? Pri.
marily, it means that if our soldiers
and u sailors are not fed all oul
elaborate defenses against the com.
mon enemy will break down. Ships
without men, cannon without gunners
and troops without arms, do not win
wars. Food impels ships, fires cannon
and places armies upon their feet.
Grain and fruit, which form the
largest portion of our food equipment
must be harvested to be of any avail
The farmers are now short of help
and this shortage will continue until
the harvest is over. Our men, boys
girls and women should turn out and
help the farmers. There is work for
all, and as this is the vacation period
u youths will lose no school time.

WESTERN UNIVERSITY OPENS
ITS SECOND SEMESTER-PRES
IDENT KEALING ILL AT
HOME.

After eighteen weeks of hard work
ending with the first semester exam
nations, the second semester in all
departments of the institution started
Monday, January 21. In addition to
the increased enrolment of new stu
dents, several of last year have re-
turned. The present student body is
the equal if not the superior to any
in the history of the school.
In accordance with the fuel con-
serbation idea, the Girls Trade Hall
has been closed for the past week and
the devartments removed to other
buildings. The schools operations
start an hour later in the morning
and cease one-half earlier at night
The institution has been fortunate in
securing sufficient coal during the
present crisis and has turned over to
the local fuel administration two cars
of coal which was distributed to the
poor people of the city in 500-pound
lots. Much effort is exerted to con-
serve in every way possible in keep
ing with the demands of the time
The students are playing their part in
the final move to win the war by con-
tributing to the Red Cross, Y. M. C.
A., and Liberty Bond funds; several
classes making donations as a whole.
The work in tire various departments
is we'll under way and great clos
ing is looked forward to with great
interest Although i'll at his home.
President Healing has kept in close
touch with affairs and knows every
action of the machinery of the school.
He is constantly advised and consult
ed by his assistant, Vice President
French, who is the active head of the
.school at this time.

SINGER SANG A FALSE
OILY NOTE.
Negro Choir Member Pinched for De-
fraudng "sisttr" Out of $500
in Oil Deal.

Thomas A. Ross is estimated as
one of the "sw etest singers" in the
Negro Methodist Episcopal church of
Kansas City, Kans. Saturday he was
arrested in Kansas City, Mo-, on the
charge of defrauding one of the sis
ters, Annie G. Holder, 2O2 Stewart
avenue.
By applying herself conscientiously
to the washtub she had saved S00
Ross discovered this fortune, she
says, and proceeded to sell her 100
shares at 81 each in an oil company
shares which he had acquired at 10c
each. He foretold big dividends.
Each month the woman inquired
after her dividends, but, she says,
Ross explained that war conditions
made dividends seem in bad taste
Growing suspicious, she applied for a
warrant. Ross fled to Missouri, but
was arrested and released on $500
bond.
The police are also on the lookout
for NJ. O. Kindred, 1900 East 10Th
street, who was implicated in the
fraud charge. - Kansas City Post

Camp Funston. Kans.

Camp Funston, Kans.
To the Editor of The Kansas City Sun
l want to say to the people of Kan
sas City, Mo, who have relatives and
friends at Camp Funston, they need
not be ashamed of the boys from Kan
sas City who were drafted, as l was
one who saw fit to enlist in the SER
vice; the Kansas City boys as a whole
certainly have made good here, as per-
haps 20 per cent of our boys have been
made on-commissioned officers and
have proven their ability for even
higher positions. Out of thirty-five
or forty prisoners in the guard house,
believe one was from Kansas City
and he is of type who was constant
! ly in trouble at home, living in the
underworld.
! l have visited all the companies
and barracks of Colored soldiers in
the camp and find gambling and the
worst kind of profane language going
on all the time and especially on Sun
| days. Not per cent of the Camp
population are Kansas City boys.
We have men here from as far east
| as Atlantic City, New Jersey, west as
I far as California, south as far as Tex
! as and north as far as Montana and
they are gathered up from all walks
OF life, but none have proven their
gentlemanly manner any more than
the boys from Kansas City. .
l would say to the boys who antici-
pate being called in the next draft,
keep up the high standard of the Kan.
sas City boys who preceded them and
~ believe we shall all come back to
the old 18th street in one grand body
so that all Kansas City will be proud
of the boys for whom they were cry
ing to see leave there on the last of
October
l hope you will pardon this boast
full letter, but | am not saying it in
the way of a boast, but this is a fact
and | thought it might make some
one who is not in touch with the Camp
feel better to know that their friends
were getting along so we'll.
The work isn't hard and the treat
ment cant be beat if we observe dis.
cipline, which must be observed to
become a good soldier.
l won't take any more of your valu-
able time to read this, but should
you have the occasion to speak at
any gathering at home mad see fit to
mention the fact, or in your wonder
full paper, | would appreciate your
kindness. Yours truly,

Our Country 'Tis of Thee"
Our country, tits of thee,
Great land of liberty,
Of thee we pray;
Land where our fathers slaved,
Union we helped to save,
Justice of thee we crave
Hear US today!
Our adopted country! thou,
Our home and birthplace now,
Thy name we love;
No longer us debar,
Destroy the Jim Grow" car;
Let freedoms glorious star,
Shine from above.
Our wrongs rise on the breeze,
And ring from gallows trees,
In heart-wrung plea;
Let man to right awake,
Let dawn of justice break;
Let all who breathe, partake
OF true democracy.
Our fathers God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
OF Thee we sing;
Our sons go forth to fight
To uphold freedoms light;
Protect them by Thy might,
Great God, our King.
