Voice of People Ms. Be obeyed.

1.-THE voice of the people must be
obeyed and the press Is the great
medium for that voice. I have in
mind several measures calculated to
embody this popular movement in
concrete FORM"
Speaking of China, Premier Hara
said he held to the open door policy
of the Lal.:ing-Ishii agreement and
would constantly adhere to the policy
of non-interference in the internal
affairs of China.
The same. he said. was true in the
case of. Russia, where Japan only
wished responsible government,
whether bolshevik or otheTw Use.
Japan, however, would never agree
to see Russia dominated by German
influence.
In conclusion the. premier declared
that "Japan's expedition into Siberia.
was the result of a consultation with
the United states and the allies. and
that Japan had no intention of taking
Independent action in the future.

KANSAS MAY BE FORCED
TO CALL GLASS . MEN SOON

Kansas will be compelled to sup.
ply some men from Glass 2 before
October unless the state is exempt
ed from large calls during the com
ing two months. Draft officials
in the adjutant's office at Topeka
do not believe that class two men
will be taken before October They
also think that Kansas will moi be
given a heavy quota in some of the
future calls.
Although there are still 700 rnen
in the 1917 list Of class one men,
they will all be taken during the
week of August 5. If Kansas must
furnish 5000 men during August,
and this is in accordance with the
federal plan, the 1913 list Of men
would be exhausted in September.
Yesterday another call for negroes
was sent to Adjutant General Huff
man by the war department, which
will practically exhaust the 1917
class of colored registrants Few of
them are in the June, 1918 class.
The total number of 1917 colored
class one registrants in the state ac-
cording to the books in the adiutant
generals office at Topeka, is 511,
and the call received yesterday is for
4GS of these.
Dickinson county will have no
advantage over other counties. All
of the 1917 class one men will be
taken next month and then there
will be only 1876 class one men from
the 1918 list When these are all
taken Dickinson will begin sending
class two men.

HE'S AT FUNSTON ANYWAY
Thomas Russell Went To Camp On
His Own Accord

What is the use Of local draft
board when registrant can induct
himself into the service, thought
Thomas Russell, class one man.
When the local board sent its last
quota to Funston Russell was named
an alternate, but he failed to appear
on that date.
The local board placed Mr. Rus
sell among those who are to go to
Camp Funston next Thursday. Sat
urday the board received a letter
from Funston asking for Russell's
papers and saying that the man was
in the army there. The board start
ed an investigation and found that
Russell, not thinking it necessary to
come to Abilene bfeore going to
Funston, had stepped on the train
at Chapman and went with the 9TH
ers to camp. He is now in the army
there
Russell's name has been taken
from the list of men who go for
Dickinson's next quota.

The Colored voter of the Tenth

treat that all of us cannot have. How
often have you had the privilege of
voting for member of the race? Do
you think that white man, no matter

honestly represent race who he con-
siders inferior without forcing them
to take the place of inferiority in the

is Mr.. Winston Holmes. The ballot
is the surest weapon with which any
citizen, regardless of color or econom-

For the race to just vote and never
to get a chance to hold an elective

TWO NEGRO GENERALS
FOUR NEGRO COLONIES

Paris, France, Dec. 2.-France's
treatment of her Colored soldiers is
much fairer and just, and undiscrim-
natory than the United States treat
ment of her black legions that there
is no comparison. In the French army
today there are two Colored generals,
four colonels, and one hundred and
fifty captains, 'and lieutenants too
numerous to mention. This is much
better showing than is made by the
United States, which country has not
even an officer as high as colonel
in the regular army, although the
United States population numbers
more than ten millions of black folks.
There is absolutely no color line over
here in dear old France. Here merit
alone limits a mans possibilities and
opportunities.

OLD CITY HOSPITAL is HIGHLY
PRAISED BY COUNCIL
COMMITTEE,

A great many complaints have been
filed recently against the conduct and
treatment of the City Hospital, but
the Sun and the race are pleased to
know that the Old City Hospital, de-
voted exclusively to Negroes and un-
der the management of the veteran
DR.. T. C. Unthank came in for nothing
but words of praise at the hands of
the committee.
OF the white hospital it said:
We find the kitchen range has
burned out, the warming tables vir-
tually useless, a lack of equipment in
each of the kitchens, and each Of them
untidy, with dirty dishes and pans
and returned food standing about and
the kitchens unsanitary and un-
healthy We found mattresses unsan-
itary, pillows in many cases filthy by
reason of having been used without
pillow slips and the Tubercular ward
we found in most deplorable condi-
tion.
The Old City Hospital.
Conditions at the Old City Hospital,
where Negroes are cared for, was
found very satisfactory, the report
said.
I'VE found things there clean, tidy,
and orderly, although they are short
of equipment, but cleanliness and san
itation were found, despite the fact
that they are handicapped by an old
rundown building"
The Sun congratulates DR.. and Mrs.
Unthank, Superintendent and Matron,
as we'll as their entire force of as
sistants and employees for the splen-
did condition in which they keep their
department, fully realizing that it re-
fleets credit upon the entire race to
have our representatives in public po-
sitions measure up to the fullest pos
sibilities of that position, however eX-
acting conditions may be. The Sun
again says: Hats off to DR.. and Mrs.
