honestly. You have twelve hours in
Gods day; no more, no less. Will
you spend those hours with God?
The hours l spend with thee, dear
heart,
Are like a string of pearls to me;

DR.. SilcoX, who used to be the min
lister fthe Westminster Congrega-
tional Church and who only recently
revisited our city, told this story: A
young soldier boy had been brought
into the hospital. He had been given
to the care of a particular nurse
He was delirious. The first day he
imagined himself back at the fighting
front. The second day he imagined
himself in mo mans land,'' rescuing
wounded companion. But on the
third day he imagined himself back
home with mother with sisters, and
incident after incident he told of his
boyhood days. The doctor told the
nurse that the only thing that would
save that young mans life would be
an operation, and she was instructed
to give him chloroform. She went
to his bedside and, rubbing her hand
on his forehead, said to him, don't
you want me to put you to sleep. He
said, yes; but before I go to sleep,
let me say my prayers, and he began
to say his prayers. but his mind wan
dered so that he could not say them.
SO he appealed TO his nurse as he

"oVER THERE"

| SOi6I AL L. IldupIOn was DOTH III
Pierce City, Mo-, August 8, 1895, and
reared in Kansas City, Mo. He is a
graduate of the Glass of IA of Lincoln
High School. He is the son of Mrs.
Beedie Hampton and the brother of
Miss Wilma Hampton, whose resi-
dence is 1907 Harrison street.
At the age of % he enlisted in
the world war, being among the first
Colored soldiers who arrived in
France. January, 1918. Soon after his
arrival he was made corporal, later
receiving a higher office as sergeant.
He is now in charge of a large trained
body of men somewhere in France.
He writes that he is well and doing
fine. He likes soldier life and is
doing his bit to protect his Country.
While thinking of the condition of
the Negro he composed the following
thoughtful poem, that should appeal
to every member of the race:
The Negro Soldier
When you speak of the Negro soldier,
1t makes the blood run fast;
His cool, courageous record lives
In all wars of the past.
When our Country is in danger,
He is first to volunteer;
He thinks naught but his Country's
call,
His heart knows naught of fear.
Would that all men were as loyal
As the abused and the humble Black,
Who is as true as steel in time of
need,
Though often he is kept back.
When we are at war, he does not stop
To think of the many wrongs,
But takes his place with smiling face
In ranks with our fighting throngs.
He feels that God is with him
When he goes into the fight,
And hopes that He who rules the
world
VIII some day make things right.
You may talk about your heroes,
And their deeds of valor won,
But there is none more worthy of our
praise
Than the American Negro son.
When man has been mistreated,
And then goes forth to fight
For those who have cruelty wronged
him,
He is game, be he black or white.
If black troops get a fighting chance,
Pray God that they will,
They'll march right into Berlin,
Like they did up San Juan Hill.
All honor to the Negro soldier
May victory his portion be;
All hail the mistreated hero,
Who is fighting for you and me.
When this great war is ended
And the dove of Peace draws nigh,
We will all share in Democracy,
Or know the reason why.
>~~N~'N~>N~~~~~~~>>~~-~> ~>~~~~~~>>~~~~~~~~~~~~
had appealed to his mother in his
boyhood days. He asked her to re-
peat them for him, and the nurse be-
gan to repeat this childish prayer:
Now l lay me down to Sleep and
the sick man repeated them after her
until she closed her prayer, saying,
IF l should die before I wake, pray
the Lord my soul to take" After ut
tering that prayer, he went to sleep
and never awoke.
My ministry here is closing. We
may never meet again, but what care
we if we can look forward to meeting
in Gods house above, where congre-
cations neer break up and Sabbaths
have no end. You ask me where l
am going;
'I know not what the future hath of
marvel and surprise,
Assured alone that life and death His
mercy underlies;
know not where His islands lift their
froned palms in air;
only know l cannot drift beyond
His love and care.
And so beside the silent sea, / wait
tn muffled oar
No harm from Him can come to me ON
ocean or on shore"

MINE SUNK SAN DIEGO
Destroyess Of the Dornfonstein Say
Four sSubs'' Operate on At
1antic Coast.

A CANADIAN PORT. August g.
The United States cruiser San Diego
was sunk OF Fire Island last month
by a mine laid by the German sub
marine U-56. which captured and burn
ed the Canadian schooner Dornfon-
stein in the Bay Of Funday last FRI
day. according to statements made by
members Of the crew of the sub
mersible to sailors from the sailing
ship who were taken on board the
submarine.
The captain and crew Of the Dorm
fonstein on arrival here said that
after having been held on the U-boat
for five hours they were ordered to
take to their lifeboats and make
for the nearest point of land.
Upon their arrival they were ques-
toned by the naval authorities. They
said that members of the U-boat crew
told them there were four submarines
operating of the Atlantic coast, but
they expected more to arrive soon.
Naval officers here were inclined to
discredit this story Of reinforcements,
asserting that it probably was told to
cause alarm among the civilian pop
ulation in coastal towns.
According to the survivors story. all
but the captain were taken into tha
interior of the submarine. passing
through the engine room to what
they described as sort Of hold" The
captain, however, was kept on deck.
While held prisoners, the sailors
were offered q meal of bully beef and
rice and were assured by their cap
tors that they could eat the food
without fear Of poison" as the U-boat
was mot after them"
The submarine, according to the
Dornfonstein's crew. was more than
200 feet long and mounted two guns.
