GEN. PERSHING PRAISES COLORED SOLDIERS A FAMILY PAPER-Reaches 3,000 homes and is carefully read by 12,000 people every week throughout Ohio and Middle West Lynching Is Menace to The Nation National Association Protests Again The National Association for the advancement of Colored Peoples makes public telegrams of protest to Governor R. G. Pleasant of Louisiana SEVEN—Forum—13p June 27 and to the Chambers of Commerce of Monroe, Baton Rogue, Shreveport and New Orleans, La., against the lynching last week of John Clayton, a Negro, charged with having shot and wounded Ben Brooks, a white farmer, near Mangham, La. The Association's telegram to the Governor directs his attention to the fact that this last lynching brings Louisiana's total number of lynchings since the United States entered the war up to twelve. The telegram further points out that the lynched Negro, according to Louisiana press reports, had been wounded several times in a battle between himself and the mob which pursued him, and so was practically helpless. The Association tells the Governor that lynching must stop and asks him whether Louisiana purpose to do her part to put down this menace to national well-being. The telegrams follow: "June 25, 1918. "Hon. R. G. Pleasant, Governor, "Baton Rogue, Louisiana." "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People directs your attention to the lynching of John Clayton, a Negro, near Mangham, La., on Tuesday, June 18th. Press story in Shreveport Times of 19th states that Clayton was lynched after battle with posse in which the Negro had been several times wounded and therefore helpless. You are well aware that the crime of which Clayton was accused, that of shooting and wounding his white employer, was punishable in the ordinary courts of your state. Louisiana by her continued disregard of lawful procedure, her permitting mobs to flout her courts and lynch Negroes, is placing the nation in an unfavorable light before the peoples of the world. America, for the sake of the great cause in which she is engaged and to which upwards of one hundred fifty thousand Negro soldiers have pledged their lives, is challenged by every consideration of national honor, to do justice at home. In the name of the one hundred and seventeen active branches of the thirty-five thousand members of this Association and in that of the larger law-abiding citizenship of the United States, we say to you lynching must stop, and ask whether Louisiana proposes to do her part to put down this menace to national well-being. "John R. Shillady, Secretary National Association for Advancement of Colored People." (Telegram to Chambers of Commerce of Monroe, Batan Rogue Shreveport and New Orleans, La.) "June 25, 1918. "Once more Louisiana spring into a kind of infamy of fame by lynching another Negro, John Clayton, on June 18th, near Mangham, La., making twelve Negroes that have been lynched in your state since the United States entered the war. We have addressed a telegram of protest to Governor Pleasant. Previous indications are that Governor will take no action. We ask your Chamber to consider what Louisiana owes to the nation at this time. Lynching is a foul blot upon our national honor and permits foreign peoples to point the finger of scorn at America at a time when our prestige abroad and national morale at home demand that our citizens abide by the laws and uphold our courts. All classes of our citizens are needed in food conservation, for efficient labor and in loyal support of the government. White men are not lynched in Louisiana. The danger of lynching Negroes at this time ought to be obvious. "John R. Shillady, Secretary National Association for Advancement of Colored People." THE DAYTON FORUM Illustrious Son of Dayton and Race Remembered UNIQUE STUDY CLUB HOLDS MEMORIAL FOR DUNBAR Wednesday afternoon, June 26th, was observed by the Unique Study Club as memorial day for our beloved poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The beautiful and commodious home of Mrs. Emma V. Sherman was the scene of this very brilliant affair. The meeting was called to order by the Vice President, Mrs. Wm. Avery. Devotions were conducted by Mr. J. D. Fields, after which Dunbar's "When All Is Done" was given as a concert reading by the Club. The quotations brought out many gems of thought from our favorite poet. A very splendid paper on "Paul Lawrence Dunbar's Life; Its Value to the Race," was read by Mrs. George Boone. She very strongly emphasized the fact that his lowly, humble life, yet his exalted plane of thinking, should be emulated by the race. Mrs. Peyton very beautifully rendered "Little Gal." Mrs. Bertie Ellis read a most interesting paper on "Paul Lawrence Dunbar's Works; Their Literary Value." After commenting on each of his books, many of his most prominent poems were compared with the writings of other popular poets. Very truly we know that the literary value of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's works is inestimable, for by the authority of one of the State schools, his "Lyrics of Lowly Life" are the only folklore poems of America. Mrs. Jennie Buckner sang sweetly "Who Knows." Mother Dunbar was presented and in her beautiful, motherly way, addressed the ladies. She very interestingly told the story of her struggles, her love of poetry, and the efforts of her son. On request she gave the reading, "Little Seed." The other visitors present were: Miss Edna Shank, teacher in the public schools of Evansville, Ind.; Miss Selina Mayo, teacher in Frankfort, Ky.; Mrs. M. L. Pollett, Mrs. Clifton Willis, Mrs. T. J. Smith, Mrs. Maud Walker, Mrs. George Dunn, Mrs. Joseph Lee, and Miss Mahala Brown, who accompanied the singers. The guests all made very encouraging remarks. Delicious refreshments were served and the ladies departed wishing many more years to Mother Dunbar, and regretting to lose the charming hostess, Mrs. Sherman, who will soon leave for permanent location in the Southland. The Club also regrets to lose Mrs. S. E. Cooper, one of the charter members, who has gone to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. Matthew Grisly in Flint, Mich. MT. OLIVE NOTES.

Haynes, director of Negro Economics of the Department of Labor, has just returned from an extended trip into several states where he met in conferences and interviews at digerent points in each state a number of representative white and colored men and women, to discuss with them the plans of the department for improving local labor conditions. The Director visited points in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky. He is also in correspondence with persons in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, for the purpose of similar visits to those states. The purpose of these first visits is to get the advice and solicit the help of persons of both races in each state in carrying out a co-operative program to take practical constructive steps for enlisting all in a campaign to mobilize Negro workers for more strenuous labor to win the war. Due consideration, of course, is given to improving the conditions of Negro workers along all lines and to encouraging all who labor. Briefly stated, the plan is to secure in each locality co-operating committees of white and colored citizens composed of the strongest men and women of both races to work out plans and methods of adjusting local labor problems, in the interest of both employers and employees. When interview by a representative of the press, Dr. Haynes said: "In all parts of the country, now, representative white and colored people are feeling that this is the time to pool their efforts and pull together. In my work of previous years I have found in almost every locality some white and colored citizens who were responsive to a practical program of work to meet the needs of their community." "The various betterment and civic organizations that the colored people have organized have shown such activity along many lines to improve local conditions and race relations." "On the basis of such experience, the Department of Labor is building its plans for meeting local labor situations that are affecting the Negro and his employers in various parts of the country. Already, the Department is meeting with gratifying cooperation of both white and colored people in various counties, twons and cities. "Just as in all the Nation's past wars, the Negro is ready to do his share of the fighting in the trenches and dying on the field of battle. No less zealous has he been in doing the work to raise food and make supplies for our Allies and our men at the front. The Negro workman needs to be told, in ways to make it clear, that his toil of all kinds is appreciated and of value in winning this war. He need to have it made plain to him that victory in this war will bring rewards of democracy to him. If this is done, Charles Knight's example in breaking the world's riveting record will be repeated in many other occu- ```markdown ``` ERS FOR THE WOUNDED are impressed into the service of trans- pations. "There are two kinds of people in our country at this time: Those who do, and those who don't. We plan to enlist every Negro in the country in the ranks of those who do." SOLDIERS' AID SOCIETY NOTES Nearly five hundred people enjoyed the motion pictures, "The Loyalty of a Race" and "The Faith of a Race," shown at Community hall June 12 and 13 under the auspices of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort committee of Washington, D.C., and the Soldiers' Aid society of this city. There is a probability of a return engagement together with an added attraction, as many have expressed a desire to see the pictures again. The Soldiers' Aid society has recently become affiliated with the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort committee, and are now conducting a house to house canvass to raise funds to help carry on the work. The National Colored Soldiers' Comfort committee is incorporated under the laws of congress and is composed exclusively of colored men and women, organized for the purpose of providing relief for needy dependents of our colored soldiers. The National officers of this organization are Prof. Kelly Miller, president; Ralph W. Tyler, secretary, and J. C. Napier, treasurer. The committee has been doing a splendid work in caring for the sorrowing and needy dependents of the 13 colored soldiers who were hung, and the 41 who were imprisoned for life at Fort Sam Houston, and numerous other cases. Since the showing of the pictures here one of our own (Bayton) soldier's dependent has received a very liberal check from the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort committee. This local case should prove an incentive and enable us to send a good report to Washington. Every person who is interested in the work of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort committee is requested to get in touch with our secretary by calling M 4455 or to leave their name and address at the W. C. A., 800 West Fifth street. Prior to our affiliation with the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, Mr. Tyler in a communication to our secretary said, "We are receiving responses from as far north as Alberta, Canada, from as far south as Borcas del Toro, Republic of Panama; and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but as yet we have heard nothing from Dayton." Shall we let this statement stand, or will you give us your financial support to help us to "put Dayton on the map?" As a society we have done our bit, but we will not be satisfied with this. We earnestly solicit your individual co-operation to help give Dayton the same rating as other Ohio cities. Come out to our meetings, the second and fourth Thursday of each month and learn more of the work. The Soldiers' Aid society has recently received the following communication from one of our boys "over there." We are glad to share the pations. Says Men Seek Dangerous Duty Denying German Story and Recalls Heroic Fighting Refutes Charge that Colored Troops Are Given More Hazardous Posts than White, In Message to Sec'y. Baker, Shows Small Losses in Official figures Washington, D. C., June 22.—Formal denial of reports circulated in this country, presumably by German agents, that Negro soldiers with the American expeditionary forces are being given more dangerous work than the white troops was cabled to the War Department yesterday by Gen. Pershing. The message said the Negroes were in high spirits and that their only complaint was that they were not given more active service. Gen. Pershing said he could not "commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." The general's cablegram, which was in reply to one of inquiry sent by Secretary Baker, said: "The stories, probably invented by German agents, that colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers, that when wounded they are left on the ground to die without medical attention, etc. are absolutely false. Figures on Losses. "The following are the losses as reported up to June 18 in the four colored combatant regiments now in France: The 369th infantry—Died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, 2. The 370th infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. The 371st infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, none. The 372nd infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have same with the public: “France, May 12, 1918. “Ladies: We have arrived safely in France, and are well, hearty and happy. France is a very beautiful country and many wonderful sights are to be seen.

SOLDIERS Dark Dangerous Duty German Story and Aeroic Fighting What Colored Troops Are Hardous Posts than White, Sec'y. Baker, Shows in Official figures not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white troops and that their physical condition is excellent. "A tour of inspection just completed among America Negro troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters show the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. Their training is identical with that of other American troops serving with the French army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. "Colored troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate as one regiment had been there a month before any losses were suffered. This was almost unheard of on the western front. Tells of Fine Spirits. "The exploits of two colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning the croix de guerre by their gallantry, has aroused a fine spirit of emulation throughout the colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service. "The only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They are especially amused at the most dangerous positions, and all are desirous of having more active service than has been permitted them thus far. I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." EUCLID AVENUE A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday was a treat to this congregation, in the morning we were favored with a soul-stirring sermon delivered by Rev. Morton, of Chattanooga, Tenn. He preached a real Gospel sermon that stirred the people of the church. Two were added to the church, and nine were added to the church on Sunday before last.. We are growing continually each week. The Sunday School holds its own; new additions each Sunday; seven on last Sunday. Don't forget the annual financial rally on the first Sunday in July. We are trying to go over the top in cancelling the total indebtedness of our church. We earnestly ask the assistance of all sister churches on that day, to help us. "What's This?" the famous trouble turkey trot church play, will be given on Tuesday evening, July 2nd, at 8 o'clock p. m. Please be on time and get it all.

SOFT DRINKS, ICE CREAM, DINNER SUPPER AND LUNCH SERVED ALL ARE WELCOME! TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA Tuskegee, Ala., June 27. — The government of the United States has set apart Friday, the 28th day of June as "War Savings Stamp Day." This is an opportunity for every Negro man, woman and child to do his part in helping to win the great war along with the soldiers at the front. It is a call for all of us to serve our country by lending our money to the government to be used for whatever is needed in winning the war. We are called upon to invest our savings with the government with a promise not only of their return, but with a security and an added interest such as no bank can give. We are not asked to give our money to the government, but we are asked to take our idle money which we have laid aside and put it to work at winning the war, in which not only our money, but everything else that we hold dear is at stake. This War Saving Day is also a call to save more money that we have been saving up to this time. To win the war it will be necessary for all Americans, black and white alike, to deny ourselves of many things which we have been enjoying. We must live as cheaply as we possibly can, without injury to our health and efficiency, and whatever is saved in this way we are asked to invest in Savings Stamps and Baby Bonds for winning the war. Our people spend a great deal of money for articles of food and dress and for amusement that we can well afford to do without. Starting now to give up these unnecessary things will not only help our country, but help ourselves as well. By this means we will teach ourselves and our children habits of thrift, and ```markdown ``` at the same time show a practical loyalty to our country, which is the duty of every citizen in the land. Wages are everywhere higher than they have been before. This means that all of us will have some money which we can save. Parents can do nothing better for their children than to teach them to buy War Saving Stamps with as much enthusiasm and regularity as they buy toys and candy or go to the moving pictures. Pastors, teachers and community leaders generally will do a great service to their country by organizing our people for investing in Savings Stamps and Baby Bonds in a regular and systematic way. Every week should see the investment of a sum of money, large or small, by every man, woman and child among us. Our men have responded to the draft with a promptness and enthusiasm of which we may be justly proud, but not all of us can join the army. The great majority of us must remain at home. It will be our part to support our men in the trenches with our money, and with our labor in the same hearty and unselfish way in which they have offered their lives. R. R.

Crimes Will Darken History of Kaiserism Forever, When People of the World Learn the Whole Story. Marion, O.—Curt Hadlich, a young German mechanic employed in local shops, one-time aviator in the German army, soldier of fortune and finally an American citizen, not only believes the stories of German brutality that have come from across seas but he thinks when the whole story has been told crimes that will darken the pages of the history of kaiserism forever will come to the people of the world. They will be told not only by victims but by the very soldiers of the kaiser himself. Hadlich thinks. He is a deserter from the German army because of treatment he could not stand. His father is a life cripple from the indignities even of peace times. "The German soldier is treated like a dumb animal," says Hadlich. "He must grin and bear it—there is no appeal." Hadlich's story perhaps is the more interesting because he has traveled enough, seen enough and learned enough outside the confines of Germany to appreciate conditions that exist there. Father Crippled for Life. "My father is a living example of the effects of German militarism," he said. "After the war, if he still is living, I expect to have him come to this country to live as God intended people should live. He too can tell stories of how brutal German officers are to the soldiers under them. "Like all young Germans, he entered military service when he was twenty. One day his company was practicing scaling. He had been ill and was unable to get over a fence at which practice was being held. An officer struck him with a sword. He fell and his arm was broken. It was not properly cared for, and that arm has been useless since. "While I was stationed at the forts at Metz and Strassburg I saw things happen myself that would make an American soldier think that the discipline he sometimes complains about is heaven in comparison. The soldiers get Sunday off at certain periods and look forward to them because they can visit home. "I have seen it happen time and time again that officers kept some of the men in barracks, apparently merely nursing a slight grudge of a personal nature—perhaps merely to have a bit of sport at the private's expense. These same officers would think up all kinds of punishments for their men, often putting a fellow at some task on his day off while several hundred other soldiers were idle and could have done the same work. Just Keep Them Busy. "I have seen officers order men to carry water from the big barrels kept in barracks, sometimes three or four stories high, merely to give them a task. After they had emptied the barrels they would be forced to carry the water back up and fill them again. "I have seen privates put to work on Sunday morning with a bucket of water and a tooth brush and ordered to scrub the floors." "If a private does not shoot or march as well as the officer thinks he should, he is certain to be punished. One favorite treatment then was to require a private to stand erect, then kneel to the ground, repeating the performance for an hour or more. I've seen officers beat and kick soldiers who became exhausted from this task. It frequently happens that a three days' strenuous drill on bread and water diet follows." Hadlach has taken out his first naturalization papers, and although registered as an enemy alien, is listed in the aviation reserve corps and hopes to be able to enter the American army aviation section in the near future. SAYS NAVY TOO SAFE WANTS HUBBY IN ARMY Pittsburgh, Pa.—"Till sign a release for him to join the army, but not the navy. It is too safe." So declared Mrs. John Bendhuson, when she appeared in court against her husband, charged with nonsupport. After much argument Mrs. Bendhuson was convinced that the navy was as dangerous as the army and she signed her husband's release. Performs Patriotic Duty. Hazleton, Pa.—The famous Buck mountain, near here, will do its bit in beating the kaiser. The anthracite coal which fired John Ericson's Monitor when it defeated the Confederate ram Merrimac came from the ground of Buck mountain and now that same ground has been turned over to amateur war gardeners for the growing of palustres. $6,000 PRIZES GIVEN IN W.

Stamps and Thrift Stamps be sure to recall the greater bother the boys are encountering over the mud in Flanders. Sometimes they are compelled to go without food for long stretches and to sleep in damp holes in the ground. For hours they must wear half-suffocating gas masks and stand in ice-cold water.

FLIES TWO HOURS; PILOTS ARE DEAD British Crew Slain in Fight, but Machine Goes on in Wide Circle. AMAZING TALE OF THE AIR Bristol Machine Disposes of Enemy, Then Continue Flight With Both London.—An amazing flight of a British airplane for two hours with its two occupants dead was briefly referred to in a dispatch from the fighting front the other day. Now fuller details are supplied by a well-known flying officer who has returned to London from Arras. "The incident referred to," he said, "is quite authentic and was a common topic of conversation a few days ago. Of course, there is absolutely no reason why a machine should not, under average conditions, fly itself so long as its petrol holds out. This is not an exceptional incident of the kind, and certainly there have been cases where German machines have been captured with their pilots dead. "So far as I know the facts are that this Bristol fighter, which, of course, is a two-seater with guns fore and aft, took off about 1:30 p. m. The wind conditions were almost negligible, making it very good flying weather. There was a great deal of miscellaneous craft widely scattered over "No Man's Land." "The British airmen, at an estimated altitude of 3,500 feet, when they would be running at eighty miles or thereabouts, encountered a German albatross. They at once attacked. A lot of maneuvering followed and three other machines, two of them German, came into action. "The Bristol machine hung on its quarry and eventually got it well under the nose, the German crashing down. "Iimmediately our machine gave a sweep south. It had lost height in maneuvering and was rocking badly as if out of control, but it kept steadily on until it was lost to view. "At a little before four o'clock the machine, which was, of course, easily identified, fell crashing to earth nearly twenty miles to the west of Arras. On examination both its occupants were found to be dead, obviously from bullet wounds, which had struck them from the back and which must at once have proved fatal. Petrol Tank Empty. Their injuries on coming down certainly did not cause their death. The petrol tank of their machine was found to be empty. "There is no doubt the two men were shot immediately the German abutross fell. The Bristol machine, which is the best and most perfectly controlled fighting machine known, of its own volition swept on a fairly even keel to a distance of possibly ten miles below the point where the battle took place. "Then, for some reason which never will be known, the controls were shifted and a circle was made. In view of the fact that the total distance covered must have been much under 160 miles, it appears certain the machine lost speed and height gradually, possibly due to some minor but not vital injury to the engine. "For upward of two hours the two dead men were in the air before the final crash to earth." LETTER WRITING THE RAGE Pretty French Stenographer is Cause of Literary Epidemic Among the Marines. Somewhere in France.—Letter writing has become all the rage among the wounded United States marines confined to the base hospitals here. The reason is a French stenographer, a pretty one, too, who has volunteered to write letters home for her incapacitated American brothers. The petite Parisienne makes a daily visit to the Marine hos;tals for dictation—and the wounded devil dogs have suddenly become literary giants. They anxiously await her visits and fairly swamp her with mail. "Gee, if I only had about three more aunts and six more cousins to write to," sighed one husky sea-Soldier, as the pretty little "steno" moved on to the next cot. USE BURIED COIN FOR BONDS Mountainers of Tennessee Dig Up Thousands of Dollars to Invest In Liberty Bonds. Johnson City, Tenn.—Thousands of dollars in money that had been buried by the mountainers of east Tennessee was dug up recently and invested in Liberty bonds. Gold and silver currency was lifted from fireplace corners, dug up from under the garden trees and taken from the trunks of hollow oaks. Some of the money paid for the bonds dated back more than half a century. The third loan is the only one in which the mountainers largely participated. RIVETING GANG CLAIMS THE U. S.
