MILWAUKEE, BRANCH N. A.
A. G. P. ORGANIZED UNDER
FAVORABLE AUSPICES

Milwaukee. Thursday, Janu-
airy 23rd, promises to be mem
orable day in the history of the
colored people of Milwaukee. On
that day, at st. Mark s church,
was founded the Milwaukee
Branch of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People, an organization that
is doing more real good for the
colored people of America than
any other single agency.
Rev. r. w. Bagnall of Detroit,
Mich, National Organizer for the
Great Lakes Region, by a stirring
address aroused the people from
their apparent Indifference with a
result that nearly one hundred at
once signified their desire to be-
come charter members. A perma-
nent organization was immediate
ly effected with the following Of
ficerS:
President, Horace Preston; vice
president G. II. DeReef, recording
secretary, p. a. Sutton; CORE
spending secretary, R. G. Holley
treasurer, Mrs. A. j. Kaine; Mrs.
j. d, Carberry, Miss Mabel Rain
ney and j. G. Thurman, together
with the officers named, will con
stitute the Executive Committee.
1t is a live infant and promises
to grow rapidly into a vigorous
manhood. Great credit is due the
president. Mr.. Preston, who in
terested the promoters with the
result described.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

In Flanders fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The arks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
TO you from falling hands we throw
The torch. BE yours to hold it high!
If We break faith with as who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
