General I ??!??* 1 instructed a column
to advance from Hare, near Northern
railhead, on DsehajiK which was oc
cupied on tiie Uth of November.
ADYANCIO AGAINST BAN YO.
Five colu. J i t ('unllffo's
army converged on Banyo Mountain
at the end of October. This hill,
?which rises to a height of 1,'JoO f?>et
is very steep, with many large boul- )
dors which had been linked together ?
by about lion Sangars. every com- .
mamling point being strengthened by:
a small fort. Brick houses and ce
ment reservoirs for water had been
provided at the summit and forty,
tons of grain, ~ - ?> head of cattle,
hundreds of fowls and a vast quan
tity of other material had been ac
cumulated to enable the garrison to
endure a prolonged seige, and the
enemy was confident that the posi
tion could be maintained till the end
of the war.

The Pastor Praises Ills Church ? The
Members are ?Iiibilant.
The Missionary Campaign of the
Second Raptist Church closed last
Sunday with much jubilation among
the workers. About three weeks ago
the church launched an effort to
raise One Thousand Dollars ($1,000)
for Missions, with Mrs. Rosa 10. Wat
son as Director General.
The church was organized into a
veritable army or missionary work
ers. With oneness of mind." single
ness of purpose and genuine Chris
tian zeal all the forces entered the
with tho determined purpose of
Winning the War." And from the
field of toil the laborers returned last
Sunday bringing to tho church for
Missions the sum of $1, 502.02.
Dr. Z. D. Lewis, (ho pastor, was
loud in praise of the members of the
church for t heir .<plcndid achievement
in the Missionary work, emphasizing
the fact that this large amount
raised for Missions not only gave
evidence of their spiritual life as a;
church, but of their return to the one
and only purpose for which tho
< hrhitian Church was organized, viz.,
"An agency by which the world must
bo evangelized ; that the Church
whose main object was to build and
maintain a tine edifice and pay the
salaries of o dicers while doing little
<n nothing for Missions is failure
doomed and is 1 > n t a very little more
than a religious fake."

COLONEL WM. HAYWOOD
PRAISES PRIVATE HENRY
JOHNSON OF NEW YORK.
The Colonel of Colored Regiment
" ells Wife of Hubby's Bravery.
Prize Money Awarded*- The Letter De
scribes Battle in Which Two Soldiers
Beat Off the German Raiders.
?story of the hrnver.v of Private Henry
Johnson, HG'.Mh Infantry, which
brought him the French War Cross,
is contained in a letter which the
colonel has written to Private John
son's wife, Mrs. ICdna Johnson, 2.5
Monroe street, Albany, Y., in '
which lie cites* graphically the in
stances of coolness and lighting abil
ity of Private Johnson against great
odds.
Johnson was wounded in a trench
raid which ho "and another comrade
effectively stopped and in addition to
the War ( ross, II fly francs, which
General Conrand of the French forces
gave to Colonel lla.vward for the use
of the family of the llrst man in his
regiment to he wounded under heroic
circumstances, has been sent to Mrs.
Johnson.
Colonel Hay ward's letter follows:
"Your husband, Private Henry
Johnson is in my regiment, 3001 li
l < *i i *.-11 ' S i'f{i'iif/,"Vl f
tenth New York Infantry. Ho^iias
been at all times a good soldier and
a good hoy of lino moralo and ui>
right character. To these admirable
traits be has lately added the most
convincing numbers of tine courage
ami lighting ability. I regret to say
at the moment that, he is in the hos
pital, seriously but not dangerously
wounded, the wounds having been '?
received under such circumstances
that everyone of us In tho regiment
would be pleased and proud to trade
places with him.
"It was as follows: Tie anil Pri
vate Xeedhatn Huberts were on guard
together at a small outpost of tho
front line trench near the Gorman
lines and during the night a strong
raiding party of Germans, numbering
from twelve to twenty judging by the
weapons, clothing and paraphernalia
they left behind and by their foot
prints, stole across N\> Man's Hand
and made a surprise attack in the
dead of the night on our two brave
soldiers.
"We had learned some time ago;
from captured German prisoners that
the Germans had heard of the rogi- 1
ment of black Americans in this sec- 1
tor, and the German officers had tol l
their men how easy to combat and
capture them it would be So this
raiding party came over, and on the
contrary Henry Johteon and N'eed
ham Huberts were very much awake ?
and alert and attending strictly to
their duties. j
"At the beginning of the attack,}
the Gcrmaas tired a volley of bullets,
and grenades and both of the boys]
were wounded, your husband three
times and Roberts twice, then the
Germans rushed the post expecting to
make an e-isv capture. In spite o? I
tlte'r wounds. Hie two bovs waited]
cooly aed courageously and when t H ?;? .
Germans were within striking dis- '
fsiuce opened fire, your husband with 1
ids t itle and Private Roberts from his j
helpless position on the ground with j
hand grenades. Put the German
r:>!di tiir Marty came oil in spite of tlx* '
wounded and in a few seconds our'
'?oys were at grips with the terrible
foe in a desperate hand to hand en
counter in which the enemy outnum
bered them ten to one.
"The boys indicted heavy loss on
the enemy, but Roberts was over
powered and about to be carried away
when your husband, who had used
up all ( !' the cartridges in the mag

he was undoubtedly one of t!|i> so
called German- Americans who came;
to cur country, not to become a good
citizen of it, but to partake of its
plenty and bounty and then return to
light for tho Kaiser and help enslave J
tin' world. Ilo was doubtless select- 1
I'd as leader of the party to speak J
Fnulish and perhaps fool my soldiers,'
(?ailing to lliein in Knglish not to lite

"llenry laid about him right and
left with his heavy knife, and Roberts
released from the grasp of the seouu- j
drels began again to throw hand gre- j
mules and exploded them in their j
midst, and the (Jermans doubtless,
thinking it was a host instead of two!
brave colored hoys lighting like tigers
at bay, picked tip their dead and
wounded and slunk away, leaving
many weapons and part of their shot
riddled clothing and leaving a trail
of blood which we followed at dawn >
near to their lines. i
"We feel certain that one of the
enemy was killed by ride lire, two
by your husband's bolo, one by
grenades thrown by Priy^io Roberts j
and several others grievously wound- j
ed. So it was In this way the (lor- |
mans found the black Americans.
Roth boys have received a citation of
th" French general commanding the
splendid French division in w hich my
regiment is now serving and will re
ceive the Croix do (luorro (cross of
war. )
"Some time ago the great (leneral
(lourand placed in my hands the sum
of lot) francs to be sent to the fatnilx |
of the first one of my soldiers wound
ed in a light with the enemy under
heroic circumstances. Inasmuch as
these boys were wounded sitnultnno- ,
ously, and both displayed great hero
ism, I think it but fair to send to
each one-half of this snin. Accord
itigly I am enclosing New York ex
change for the equivalent of r?0 francs
"I am sure that you have made a
splendid contribution to the cause of
liberty by giving your husband to
your country, and it is my hope and
prayer to bring him back to you safe
and sound, together with as many of
his comrades as it is humanly possi
ble by care and caution to conserve
and bring back to America. Hut it
must be borne in mind that we can
not all come back, that none of us
can come back until the job is done."
