case of these soldiers, but their SEN
fences were approved by the COM
mander of the southern department.
This being true, these men are being
illegally held in the federal prison
and should be given their liberty.
The Kansas Defense Society, of
which Nick Chiles is president, has
employed three Colored attorneys to
bring habeas corpus proceedings i'll
the United States district court, and
if necessary will carry this case 10
the highest court in the land. Attor.
ney T. w. Bell, one of the leading
lawyers of Kansas, located at Leav-
enworth; e. T. Barbour of Ell Reno,
Okla, and Elisha Scott, a young at
torney of Topeka, have been employ
ed, and the case, No. 1888, was filed
at Topeka, Kansas, in the United
States District Court Friday, October
4, 1918. We are now asking the pub
lie and friends of the race to contrib
ute as much as they can afford 10 as
sist us to properly prosecute this case.
We have consulted several lawyers of
prominence, and they all agree thai
this case can be won, and the Kansas
Defense Society, believing this to be
true, has employed these attorneys.
Editors Note:-The Sun has looked
carefully into this proposition as sug-
gested by the Kansas Defense Society
and believes hat 1t is the duty of the
Colored people of this country to use
every honorable and lawful means TO
secure for these unfortunate soldiers
every consideration to which they are
entitled. We have been requested by
Mr.. Nick Chiles, president of the or
ganization, to solicit funds to be used
in meeting the expense Of these at
torneys in their habeas corpus pro-
ceedings and we hereby announce
ward to the proper officers of this
society any funds contributed by Col.

cause and as an evidence of good faith

Division One of Eastern Missouri. Since his ap-
pointment by President Wilson, July "a, 1917, the
board has passed upon thirty thousand appeals.
He gave two sons to the army. One of his sons

United States Senat

Judge Spencer has been a consistent, firm friend
OF the colored people. Three conspicuous instances
may be mentioned as illustrations:
First. The fact that he has constantly assisted
in the work of the Colored Y. M. c. A. and Y. w.
{. A.. and both by personal contributions of money,
the magnificent coored Y. NJ. c. A. building in ST.
Louis at a cost of approximately $500, 100000.
Second. The fact that without expense, or
charge, he successfully fought in the Federal Court
the vicious segregation ordinance enacted by the.
City of ST. Louis, and, as a result of the suit, the ordi-
nance was declared unconstitutional.
Third. The fact that he has uniformly favored and
worked for colored representation in the Home Guard of
Missouri.
Judge Spencer is a thorough American; has performed re-
markable war work at great personal sacrifice; is Splendidly
