MANY TIMES WHILE sERv.
ING SOLDIERS.

Chicago.-More than TOO Y. NJ. O. A.
workers saw service with the soldiers
of the American expedltionary force In
the front lines during the last months
of the war.
Frank NJ. Van Epps, seriously
wounded while serving as a Y. M. Q. A.
worker IN the Argonne, told Of some Of
his experiences in talk at the Z. NJ.
@. A. college here:
On the way to France last April on
the oronzo, Van Epps and So other
'fY" men narrowly escaped drowning
when the ship was torpedoed by a
German U-boat.
Van Epps was divisional secretary
of the Y. NJ. G. A. outfit He worked
with the Fifth division until the armis-
tice was signed. he was dressed up in
a doughboy's uniform when he arrived
here. A limp and kitbag slung over
his shoulder containing what is left OF
his equipment complete his couvenirs
Of more than six months service over
seas.
Van Epps saw the war on four fronts
In France and Alsace, serving In the
first-line trenches on two Of them.
When the Oronzo was torpedoed on
April 20 go miles on the coast Of
Wales U-boats "got" two out Of con-
voy Of seven steamships. The Oronzo
went down In II minutes after she was
struck. and Van Epps and other "Y"
men lost all their baggage. They were
picked up by a torpedo-boat destroyer
and landed at Hollyhead, Wales.
In Front Line.
In southern and middle Alsace, Van
Epps was in the first-line trenches and
at St Mlhiel, when the drive opened,
he became a stretcher bearer after his
supplies ran out. Getting word to
shift to the Argonne, he Travelled ell
night by train. ON trucks and afoot,
and spent the next three weeks sleep
ing In shell holes and trenches when
he WIS not at work.
At Madeleine farm, on October 10,
Van Epps and Thomas F. Hadiey Of
Iowa, another Y. M. G. A. man, set up
shop In an old barn ALI but three Of
the twenty-five 'sY- workers went back
to get supplies. The barn had been
under shell fire for several days. but
Van Epps and Hadley decided It was
good enough to sleep in. They built
a bed Of boxes Of jam. with tub OF
chewing tobacco for pillow and lay
down.
Half mile back, an American bat
terry was hammering the Germans, and
two German airsplanes came over look
Ing for the position. They let go two
bombs which landed on each side Of
the barn. Soon came third. which
struck the roof. bringing down a mass
Of rafters and beams and scattering
shrapnel. A splinter was driven
through the calf Of one Of Hadley's
legs and piece of shell tore through
both of Van Epps' thighs.
After dressing stations and field hos
pitfalls had finished with them they
spent half day In an ambulance and
then were put aboard French hos

is A COMPOSER

Miss Blanche NJ. Preston. popular
young lady OF Pikeville. returned Sum
day night from business trip to Gin
cinnati. where she has been for the
past few days in connection with the
publication OF a song which is being
handled by Cincinnati publisher.
Miss Preston refuses to make any de-
tails public and would not discuss the
matter with the reporters, but 1t Is
well known that she has written the
words to a song that has created a
sensation In the musical world and
took music publishers by storm. This
publication, according to the leading
musical authorities, will prove to be
the "hit' of the season in ragtime
music.
Miss Preston admits the fact that
she has had offers from three differ
ent New York music publishers 10
sign contracts for year, but states
that she has not yet made decision.
She also states that the song was sold
outright and not handled on the roy
atty basis as previously reported. This
transaction involves a large sum OF
money and all Big Sandians are Justly
proud that their country woman has
accomplished something that will give
her a place on Broadway.
This young lady will be remembered
as the winner of the $500 prize last
year in literary contest, and besides
being well known In literary circles,
is prominent in the business world
having been an accountant in the coal
fields for several years.-Ashland In

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER IS. 1919
TEXAS REPUBLICANS BAR NE
GROES.

In last weeks issue we published
a statement from the Executive Com
mittee of the Republican Council of
Texas which stated in part
Texas is a white mans country
and government must rest exclusive
ly in the hands of the Caucasian
race. The Council is composed OF
white republicans and they will die
tate the policies of the party. We
invite all law-abiding citizens VINO
accept the above principles OF govern
ment to vote the ticket but the poll
cies of the Republican party OF Tex
as are now in the hands OF white
men and are going to remain there.
1.-THE Republican party has In times
past been prostituted by Negroes be-
ing allowed to attend conventions as
pawns of white politicians who were
seeking Office or power within the
party. For the past thirty years the
progress Of the party has been re-
tarded and its development dwaf-
ed by black and tan politicians par
ticipating in and attempting to domi-
nate its affairs.
This Country must be governed
by white Americans who are in sym
pathy with American traditions and
institions."
This statement is both surprising
and disappointing to many leaders
in politics among us for they nad
begun to plan for a gathering and
massing Of Republican votes among
Negroes which would have compelled
those chosen by them to "go over
the top" We feel however that since
every man is allowed to choose his
associates political and otherwise,
and since the White Republicans OF
Texas have chosen to discard and re-
fuse the votes Of Negro Republicans
and have told them so In such unmis-
taxable terms, 1t would show less
than the manhood and racial pride
which resides in the soul OF every
black man IL he by any means what
ever sought to affiiate himself with the
Republican Council in Texas. Be too
proud to beg in where you are not
wanted.
There are about 100000 Negroes
of voting age in Texas. Let us sug-

they may all become holders Of
poll tax receipts, then from all pres
ent indications it will be possible to
make In Texas a political organiza-
ton which will ally itself only with
those who can realize that its CO.
operation is essential to their sue
cess. There are prohibitionists, So
cialists and others who could ap-
preciate 100000 votes. We call your
attention to an article published In
This paper last. week which declared
that the anti-saloon league has de-
cided to cultivate the sentiment
among Negroes and Is planning to
spend great part of its yearly bud
get in that direction.
It may be that we have blinded
ourselves to our own interests In for
mer years by blindly allying our
selves to the Republican party right
or wrong, for us or against us. This
is a fine opportunity to take tock," "
organize and educate our voters and
make Of ourselves an organization
not likely to be cast aside.
