his seen or heard from him since the
above date and his wife and friends
are worried over his disappearance.
Anyone knowing his whereabouts, will
please communicate with this camp.

Mrs o. B. Dorsey returned last

pretty good place after all. They go,
but always return.
One of our Sergeants, a few days
ago could not find any trouble and
decided to have it out with his
motorcycle and side car. The motor
cycle must have gotten the best Of

hospital suffering with a broken leg
and a fractured ankle and the car
is still on the road carrying the chief.

Among other things DR.. Scott said;
"The new spirit which has gripped
the hearts and souls of men the world
over since the war.-Eager and will
ing, 100000 American Black men. re-
sponded to the call of the colors.
Nearly 100000 of them went over
seas to fight for a democracy which
they but imperfectly understood, but
which has been pictured to them as
an idealisrn as holy as ever Crusader
went forth to battle for. The Negro
loyalty remained untainted; he re-
sisted the temptation to nurse his
grievances. PAtriotically and heroic
ally he met every human test.
"And now the war is over. The dis
appointment . tabled democracy set
him thinking anew. Disappointments
make men philosophers. Now as
never before, Negroes are thinking
not as individuals but as a group.
We share eohmon grief; a common
disappointment that a great nation
which in war promised, should In
peace deny to them fThe New Free
DOM" The Negro was called to. the
colors like other men. He feels that.
if his country, in its hour Of trial and
peril compels him to fight its battles,l
it should, in time Of peace, secure to
him complete protection of life and
liberty He feels the urge of man
hood like other men. He feels that
he should enjoy the same civil and
political rights without distinction
that other men of the republic enjoy.
"As the great Methodist Episcopal
church took the Leadership in bring
ing about solution Of the problems
of reconstruction and readjustment
following the civil war. am sure it
will meet the challenge of the present
hour with the spiritual leadership

which has never faltered in the pres

past the church has proven her great

steadfast and immoval for all thin IS

let us with reverence place the destiny
