Colored Americans Vol 6 Number 12 A' Review of What the Negro People Are Doing to Aid in Winning the World-Wide War for Liberty Issued from the Office of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War Washington, D. C.—Company A, 301st Stevedore Regiment, "Some- where in France," has been cited by Rear Admiral Wilson and General Mc- Clure for exceptionally efficient work. These colored men unloaded and coa- led the immense steamship "Levi- athan," formerly the "Vaterland," in fifty-six hours, making a new world's record, in competition with other stevedore detachments on the western front in France, many of which are white. A film, showing this splendid regiment at work and at play, is to be exhibited throughout the country in the leading colored and white theaters. In Los Angeles, Cal., nine colored "four-minute men" are at work talking up the purchase of liberty bonds, war savings stamps and war organization activities among the colored people, with excellent results. The Army is still in need of chaplains. The ultimate plan is to have one for every 1,200 officers and men. It wants a special kind of chaplain—a sturdy, upstanding, brotherly man between the ages of 21 and 45—who cares a good deal more about the welfare of soldiers than about distinctions in creeds. At Camp Zachary Taylor, near Louisville, Ky., the Army is conducting a school for chaplains. The course covers five weeks and new classes are formed at about an interval of a week after the current class is graduated. Applicants must pass the physical tests prescribed by the local draft board. While at the school the student-chapplain receives free subsistence, lodging and uniform and the pay of a first-class private, $33.00 per month, with mileage home at the rate of three and one-half cents per mile upon the completion of his course. If appointed he takes the rank and pay of a first lieutenant of the National Army, $2,000 a year and $2,200 abroad. The next class begins August 23. Applicants should apply directly to The Adjutant General of the Army, who will furnish all necessary information. There are now about thirty-one colored chaplains in the several branches of the Army. The colored man is a willing factor in the war. This has been so convincingly demonstrated upon so many occasions that additional evidence is scarcely necessary. A striking case in point, however, may be noted in the journeying at his own expense from Birmingham, Ala., to Washington of Archie Neely, a stalwart young colored American, to enlist in the army. He had been refused by the local boards at his home, but was so determined to battle for Uncle Sam that he scraped together the necessary funds and came to Washington to see the officials of the War Department in person and tender his services. His personality was so inviting and his plea so eloquent that Neely was accepted. There wasn't a happier youngster in the land than Neely when he left the War Department with a paper authorizing him to proceed at once to Camp Meade. The colored churches and fraternal socities of Jackson, Tenn., are planning to have an elaborate patriotic demonstration August 29th, to continue three days. Speakers of national renown will be on hand, and a strenuous effort will be made to raise $5,000 for war purposes. A big parade is to be an outstanding feature of the occasion and it is expected that 25,000 marchers will take part. The affair is under the management of a local committee, headed by R. Flippin. Surgeon-General Gorgas, of the United States Army, has called for the enrollment of 8,000 graduate nurses to enter the service at the rate of 2,000 a week. Says he: "The Army today is growing faster than the Nurse Corps is increasing. I therefore urge upon the American Red Cross, through its agencies, to bring THE DAYTON FORUM In War Work to the attention of the trained nurses of this country the necessity of immediate offer of service and their enrollment in the Army Nurse Corps." With the rapid increase of colored troops in the Army, the necessity of larger numbers of colored nurses will be apparent. Women who desire to register and enroll for this service should write to Miss Jane Delano, Headquarters of The American Red Cross (Army Nurse Section), or apply to the Red Cross authorities in the locality in which they reside. A new community house, adjudged the best in the district, has been opened for Negro soldiers at Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas. A committee has been appointed by the War Commission on Training Camp Activities and a colored worker has been placed in charge of the club home. The appointment of Lieut. Russell Smith, detailed in charge of the 2nd Battalion, Student Army Training Camp, Howard University, is the first time in the history of the United States Army when a colored officer has been placed in charge as commanding officer of a training camp. The full text of President Wilson's letter in denunciation of lynching will probably be circulated in France among the colored soldiers. M. H. PROF. J. R. JEFFERSON Of Parkersburg, W. Va.

AUTHORIZE NEW Colored Men to Compose Regiment Organized at Camp Sherman Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio.—Aug. 22.—The war department today authorized the organization at Camp Sherman of the 813th Pioneer regiment, to be composed of colored men, Colenel John E. Morris, U. S. A., has been assigned commandant. A number of white commissioned officers were relieved of duty with the 158th depot brigade, to become attached to the new poneer regiments. There are two majors, 11 captains, 22 first lieutenants and nine second lieutenants. The noncommissioned officers in the new regiment are to be colored. DAYTON. OHIO. FRIDAY AUGUST 23, 1918 BATTERY IN ACTION AT XIVRAY Copyright United and Underwood UNITED OFFICIAL PHOTO A battery of French 75's resisting the German attack at the village of Xlvray, where the Americans, so bravely drove back the Huns not long ago. American Woodman Incorporated 1901, Denver, Colo. Insures against old age, disability, accident, sickness, death. Has $200,000.00 for protection of policy holders, $500,000.00 paid as benefits, and $40,000,000.00 of insurance written. Is the only society extending Woodcraft to colored people. "Pays while you live." "Pays when you die." Is up to date; yes, ahead of date, outside the beaten path of life insurance. Is universally popular, rates never changing, sound as a gold dollar, and solid as Gibraltar. Right rates, methods and management were adopted from the start, a fact which has kept the Order from ever having to issue extra assessments or increase the burdens of its members in any way. It is based on the lodge system, its locals being known as camps. Meetings are held at least once per month, when sick claims are adjusted and new applicants admitted and given the password and signs, much the same as any other fraternal society. Yet here are some of the features that make Woodcraft quite different from anything else you have ever known: First — Certificates range from $100.00 to $2,000.00. Second—Certificates increased or decreased at will. Third—All certificates carry accident, sick, total disability, burial and death benefits. Fourth—All certificates graduated on an adequate rate. Fifth—All certificates guaranteed regardless of condition of local camp. Go where you please, live where you please, your certificate is always good. Sixth—The Clerk of local camp is appointed and bonded by Head Camp, therefore local funds can never be stolen or squandered to the detriment of camp or your policy. Seventh—No initiation; simple, dignified obligation. Eighth—Rates the same every month. Never a tax or extra assessment of any kind. Ninth—All mortuary funds invested in bonds and used solely for payment of claims. Tenth-All claims paid in full and at once. The American Woodmen issues a combined life and accident certificate to men and women alike, making it possible for the entire family to join the same camp, attend the same meetings and participate in all benefits of the Order. This society holds its charter and is incorporated under the laws of Colorado, where the Mobile Bill is in force, and whose insurance statutes are recognized as being the best in existence for the protection of the policy holder. All certificates and accident benefits, as stipulated in the constitution, are scaled for four years, thus insuring the society against dishonest applicants and enabling us to maintain our low rates. This works no hardship on the honest member, for if he should die during the first five years of membership, more than two thousand per cent would be paid the beneficiary on the investment. The American Woodmen is no new concern. It has stood the test. Operating for seventeen years and every claim promptly met. Claims are paid in full from three to ten days from date of death or accident. More insurance written and more money paid out than any other life insurance society in the United States for colored people. A colored institution, operated by and for colored people, giving employment to hundreds of men and women of our race. References R. G.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, makes public a letter addressed to Hon. Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, in which the Association directs the attention of Secretary Daniels to the case of two young colored women, graduates of the high and normal schools at Washington, who had applied to the navy recruiting headquarters at Washington for employment in response to a recent press item in the Washington papers in which it was stated that women between the ages of 18 and 35 years, possessing high school education and good health, were wanted for immediate service, and were told by the Department that no colored people could be enrolled. The Association asks whether it is the intention of the Navy department, when offering opportunity to women for service in the Department, to exclude from such service colored women who may be able to meet the requirements of the positions offered, and says that while it would feel bound to protest against the restriction of employment in the Navy department to white women, it would suggest that, if colored people are to be excluded from employment offered, public announcements so stating be made. In making public this letter to Secretary Daniels, the Association says that it is a common practice in the departments at Washington, when colored people apply for position to which they have been certified, for them to be informed that there are no vacancies. The Association says that its Washington Branch is practically deluged with complaints of this character. The most recent one coming to National Headquarters at New York is the case of a young colored woman who on August 13 received from the Treasury Department an official notification that her name and been certified to one of the bureaus of the treasury by the Civil Service commission for a temporary position as clerk and requesting that she call at the bureau at her earliest convenience. Reporting in less than an hour after receiving this notice, she applicant was told that there were no vacancies. The young woman in question alleges that this is the second time that she has been treated in the same manner. "In view of the great need for workers in all the governmental departments to help win the war," said Mr. Shilladay, the Association's Secretary, "the Association wonders how the great majority of the general public, not addicted to color prejudice, will regard the continued denial of opportunities to serve the government merely because the applicants happen to have dark, instead of white skins." WESLEYAN METHODIST Last Sunday was pioneer day, the attendance was very good. Mr. J. J.

Object to New Photo-play House TRY TO PREVENT OPENING OF COLORED THEATRE "Kaisers" of the West Side Not Ready for Democracy There are forty motion picture theaters in Dayton conducted exclusively for white people. Yet several weeks ago when it was announced that a theater would be opened on the West Side to cater to colored people, some of the white merchants in the vicinity objected and did everything in their power to prevent the house from being open to colored people. However, the owner and manager are determined that the photo-play house shall be opened Sept. 1st as announced. They believe the colored people will appreciate this beautiful theater, and that they deserve as nice a place as any other class of citizens. Thus the Midget theater will open to the general public Sunday, Sept. 1st, in spite of the efforts of the "kaisers" on the West Side who are getting rich off the patronage of colored people. Go to the movies, a delightful entertainment, a cool place to spend your spare time. The Midget will be open Sunday, September 1st.

DAVIDSON. (Covylahe, it, by the Meclure Newepe The new principal of Elmtown grammar school was no longer new in amy sense of the word, but he was still the most talked of man in that litle village. “Schoolmaster's” methods of punishment und his ideas on various matters were of never-ending smpor- tance to the village gossips. Not only about the dinner table of many a country farm was the school- master discussed. For although Rich- rd Brown had been teaching in Elm- town nearly a year, he was still re- garded with lively interest by his asso- lates at the district school. ‘The greatest cause of this interest Jay in the fact that Mr. Richard Brown had never been known to ask an un- necessary question, nor to display the least interest in any question under discussion, Village gossips sald “That there Mr. Brown 1s lacking in a nat'ral sense of curiosity.” Jessie Dearing, the primary teacher, who possessed a good sense of humor, was very much amused by this man, and determined to have a good time in making him show the curiosity which she was sure was there. Miss Dearing’s opportunity to test Mr. Brown came sooner than she an- tleipated, A wealthy farmer in Elmtown had, upon his death, Jeft Elmtown high school a substantial brary. Richard Brown thought that this library should be catalogued, and so usked Miss Dearing und Miss Burton, his as- sistants at the school, to assist him. ‘They consented, aud the next Saturday was decided upon as a good day to do the work. When Miss Dearing awoke on Sut- urday she found that it was raining steadily, but being a good sport as well as a healthy girl, this did not dis- turb her in the least. ‘Ten o'clock founé Richard Brown, Miss Dearing and Miss Barton at work in the school Ubrary, At noon they stopped work and went home to lunch, Miss Dearing and Miss Barton going (o a nearby farm, und Mr. Brown driving back to his board- Ing place. Mr. Brown sald that he would be back at one o'clock, but when Miss Dearing and Miss Barton returned at quarter after one, he hud not arrived, As the schoolmaster hud the key to the school, there was no wuy for the girls to get in, Miss Dearing thought that this would be a fine opportunity to make Mr. Brown display his curiosity, if they could get In. Miss Barton agreed, but could see no way of get- ting in, After some tlme Miss Dearing ran over to the next farmhouse and bor- rowed a screwdriver. Unscrewing several of the tron bars which crossed the busement windows, she was able to open the window and squeeze in, It was very easy then to replace the bars and run upstairs to let Miss Barton in. Miss Dearing’s next thought was to return the screwdriver, but as she ‘opened the door she was confronted by Mr. Richard Brown, “I was Just looking to see if it were still raining,” she said, dropping the serewdriver behind her and not noting that {t fell into her umbretla, Miss Deuring was very angty with Mr. Brown as well as herself, and it did not decrease her passion’ to find that Mr. Brown had no Intention of in- quiring how she und Miss Barton had gotten into the schoolhouse. Instead he went qulekly to his work without a question. Tt wes quit® dark when the cata- loging was finished, and Mr. Brown announced his intention of walking home with Miss Dearing, who lived some distance from the school. It had stopped raining during the afternoon, but just as Miss Deuring and Mr, Brown started up the street it began again. Miss Dearing raised her umbrella and, to her horror, out dropped the screwdriver which she had entirely forgotten. Mr. Brown picked up the offensive article and put it Into his pocket with- out a word. Neither did Miss Dearing speak about the screwdriver the rest of the way home, When they reached Miss Dearing’s gate Mr. Brown took the serewdriver from his pocket and, looking at it, said: “Jessie, I suppose you have heard that ridiculous story about my lack of curlosity, and are wondering why 1 did not ask how you and Miss Barton got into the schooliouse.” As Miss Dearing did not reply, he continued, “Well, I once made up my mind, just as un experiment, that I should not ask unnecessary questions. Just a ‘whim, I suppose one would call it, but hot a bad one after all. I really have @ good bump of curfosity, and Just now Tam wondering what a certain young lady by the name of Jessie Dearing thinks of a man named Richard Brown.

Not only is it to adopt the first state platform in Ohio since the country, entered the war, but a great patriotic mass meet- ing is to be held in connection with it. The Republican party, born in loyalty and patriotic by inheritance and by tradition, has made a new mark in American annals. For the first time has the minority party, in time of war, been more determined, more earnest and more enthusiastic in support of the war than has the majority party. Hence, every Republican is proud of his party to the uttermost and he has a right to be proud of it. The Re- publicans of Ohio have just cause to meet in convention and in mass meet- ing, rejoice in their patriotic loyalty, and pledge themselves anew to the service and the sacrifice of winning the war. The state convention and mass meeting will be the occasion of a great political party rededicating it- self to patriotic endeavor. Every Republican who can should be a part of this event.

My Dear Mr. Rives: Just a few lines to keep you posted as to the welfare of old Company C— now Company G—and the 372nd Regiment, of which it is a part. We are all well and succeeding in keeping old "Kaiser Bill's Hellojins" well hid behind their lines. We are OF WASHINGTON, D. C. receiving the best of food, ample clothing, and the respect of all that we come in contact with. Captain Mallory is still the pilot of Dayton's Prize Company and believe me, he and his men know "No Man's Land" like an excellent scholar knows his books. Remember me to all inquiring friends. I remain, Ever your friend, SGT. HAROLD M. WILLIAMS, Hd. Co., 372nd R. I. U. S.—S. P. 179, France, via New York. P. S.—My best wishes for the continued successful career of The Forum.

Samuels-Belboder, Vicar Many of our members and friends of the congregation are away vacationing, yet our attendance at worship continues very encouraging. The regular summer services at 7:30 a. m., and 11 a. m., will continue until further notice. The Sunday school convenes at 10 a. m. The sermon last Sunday morning followed the usual tenor of summer sermons in that it was largely ethical and personal. To say truth, it challenged every individual and drove each person to ask and answer the question, "Do I serve, if I do, is it merely for some reward?" The pagan proverb, "Virtue is its own reward" is also the Christian command, "Do good for its own sake." Too many, entirely too many people crave and fret over rewards which they rightly or wrongly claim should be theirs, and not receiving them, sink into a life of useless blame and spiteful chatter. They even refuse to lend a hand or exert such little influence they may possess to help the furtherance of worthy causes or encourage a useful effort. Others prate out and teach others to demand a reward for nearly every thing. Their war-cry is "Give me my flowers while can see them, for when I am dead I cannot enjoy them." And simple people follow suit and exact the price. Their hands are forever held out to receive, never to give. Their tongues are ever clacking to curse, never to bless. Their feet are ever running to evil, never to good. If perchance they happen to praise someone, then that praise is fulsome, exaggerated, overdone, or the flowers that they give with such estactic overflow of cheap emotions they blast again and petal by petal pluck away from the hands of the receiver. The vicar called attention to the simple expression of gratitude by a people who received the unique blessing of Jesus Christ. "He hath done all things well." Here was duty done,—no more;—here was work of supererogation done; mercy shown, salvation preached; and comfort given;—and all without a thought of reward. Here, too, the only reward given was an expression rather of admiration than gratitude; rather of satisfaction than praise. And yet it conveyed what our own excited clatter or approval today hardly ever contains: real profound and sincere gratitude, and that has remained perennial. The fine fruit of genuine service is nothing else than helpfulness to sth- Tuesdays. Official Board every second and fourth Tuesdays. J. C. Farrow.....Clerk Trustee Board Columbus McGee add more to this flattering donation. Words cannot express our gratitude to the pastor and members of Zion for their courtesy and substantial response to our appeal for means with which to erect a new church.

Therefore let the members of the Trustee, Steward, Stewardess boards, with all who are interested and will assist be present at a meeting for this purpose Tuesday night without fail. Those who can accommodate the ministers who will be in attendance at the annual conference with a place to sleep please inform the pastor.

For its root is grounded in God. Do good without thought of reward. Do right without fear of hell-fire. Seek not the praise of men. Do all things well.

Prayer meeting and Bible study every Wednesday evening. Rev. F. D. Day and choir of Eaker St. A. M. E. Church were the welcome guests of Zion on Sunday, last. Rev. Day, who is making a tour of all the colored churches in the city in interest of the new Eaker St. Church, which promises to be the most spacious colored edifice of this city, spoke at the morning service. Quocations were from Psalms. More than three hundred people listened to him in his most eloquent way, upon the subject, "More Than Conquerer." There was absolute silence while he entreated those who listened to win the victory, cast away evil associates, ask God for a blessing, go after it, and be not satisfied with the ninety-and-nine; nothing less than one hundred, or the whole. Rev. T. J. Smith urges that the colorde people stand by Dr. Bundy and support him in the fight he is making for his life. Labor Day, Monday, Sept, 2nd, will be a big day on the Pease street playground. A good entertainment all day for the benefit of Zion Sunday School. Luncheon and refreshments will be served.

"Wanted—Companion for young lady. Must be well educated and have best of references. Apply at 619 Maple avenue, city." "There," sighed Olive, as she read the above advertisement. "I've got to get a position, and I might as well start and look for one now. I certainly have had a good education. Mr. Lawrence will give me a good letter of reference." About six months previous to this time, Olive's father had died, leaving her alone except for his old school chum Ted Lawrence. He had left no will and Olive, always supposed to have been wealthy, had to find some means of supporting herself. Some of the town gossips said that old "Ted" Lawrence had something to do with it, but nothing further was said. When Olive had shown Ted Lawrence the advertisement, he thought it a fair place for a girl of her standing, so advised her to try for the position. After a short talk with her adviser, Olive started for the house on Maple avenue. In answer to her ring at the door, a maid appeared and showed her in to the lady of the house, who was Miss Madison. Olive introduced herself, and after a few minutes of conversation with Miss Madison, was hired. During the next six months, Olive and her mistress traveled a great deal. Then, suddenly, they packed up to leave for home. Olive's employer explained that her brother, who was in training camp, was coming home for a short furlough, and that she was going to give a dinner in his honor. Olive was somewhat happy, as she would be able to visit many of her old friends, and most of all, her old friend, Ted Lawrence. During the time that Miss Madison's brother Ralph was home, Olive had very little to do, as Miss Madison was quite busy entertaining her brother. The night of the dinner, Olive was out walking on the large lawn that surrounded the Madison home, and she chanced to meet Miss Madison and her brother. Of course, they were introduced, and Ralph upon finding that Olive was his sister's companion (whom he had heard much of), insisted that she join them at dinner. A few minutes later, as she was coming down the stairs to go into the dining room, the maid handed her a telegram. Looking first at the signature, she saw that it was from Ted Lawrence. "Come to my office at your earliest convenience," it read. Being quite anxious to know what the telegram meant, she excused herself to the hostess and left at once for the office. When she arrived there, he quietly asked her to sit down as he bad some good news for her. "Olive, it was a year ago today that your father died, leaving a will in my possession, not to be opened until one year after his death. It leaves his entire estate to you. Now, you will, of course, give up your position with the Madisons." Olive was happy and yet she was sad. She was glad that she didn't have to support herself any more, and yet she didn't want to leave the Madisons. The next day she informed her employer of what had taken place the evening before. They were all glad and yet they wanted her to stay with them, as they had got to like her in the short time that she had worked for them. Olive thought it over and told them that she would stay a few months longer. It was some six months before Ralph came home again and still Olive was in the employ of Miss Madison. Ralph and Olive had become quite good friends and had been corresponding with each other since the last time Ralph was home. This time when he came home it was Olive who was busy entertaining him. One evening when he was home he asked Olive to take a short walk out in the garden, and just before they turned to come back Olive told Ralph that she was going to leave his sister. Olive was a little bit disappointed when Ralph didn't say that he was sorry, or even try to induce her to stay, but on the contrary, he looked happier, and turning square around, faced Olive and said: "I've been looking for a companion for life and you're the one I want. How about it?" Olive hid her face in his arms and nobody but Ralph heard what she said. Wanted—Ingenuity There is a factory where tiny screws are used in assembling the machines. Formerly these screws were picked up with a small pair of pincers, but now magnetized screw drivers are used. In Kansas there is a shop where small screws are inserted by first pressing them through a bit of paper. Then they can be easily handled and put in position, and the paper torn away. These are only examples of the sort of ingenuity so badly needed to get people out of the rut of inefficiency. The Stopping Place "I don't mind lending you my hoe, my ax, my lawn mower, the madam's ice cream freezer, and a lot of other things about the premises," said Mr. Glipping, "but I'll give you fair warning, Gadspur." "Eh? What's the trouble?" "If you ever come over here and try to borrow our portable garage, I'm going to say 'Me.'" GIRL CUTS OFF TRESSES SO AS TO BUY W. S. S. Dayton, O.—Juanita Dowell, eleven, cut off her beautiful chestnut curls to help win the war. She then notified an officer of the National Security league that she wished the hair to be sold in Portland, Ore., and that the money be used in buying War Savings stamps. Gertrude Atherton, the author, made the first bid on the tresses at $5. The child's explanatory letter is to be sold along with the hair to the highest bidder. IS AS FATAL AS WAR Tuberculosis Kills as Many as Fall From Bullets. Dr. Livingstone Farrand Appeals to People to Enter Battle Against Disease. New York.—Mortality from tuberculosis among the civilian population and in the armies of all the countries engaged in the war has at least approximated the total number of soldiers killed in battle, according to Dr. Livingstone Farrand, director of the American commission for the prevention of tuberculosis in France. That the people of America throw themselves into the winning of the war against tuberculosis with the same zeal with which they have hurled themselves against the Hun is the burden of an appeal made by Doctor Farrand on the eve of his return to France. "To make our country really safe we must first make it healthy," is the slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for this war against disease. Of the men called to the colors by the first draft 50,000 were found to be tubercular. This is one of the striking indications of the prevalence of the disease. "While the war has thus effectually disclosed conditions which existed before, rather than produced these conditions, it is also true that in indirect ways it has substantially increased the tuberculosis problem in the European countries involved," says Doctor Farrand. "I refer not to the situation in the armies, where the mode of life often tends to reduce this disease, but to conditions which affect the civilian population." Increased food, clothing and housing costs necessitating, among the lower wage groups, diminished quantity and quality and their resultant undernutrition, are given as contributing causes. A nation-wide campaign against the disease and for adequate provision for rejected and discharge soldiers suffering from it is planned through 1,500 local societies of the National Tuberculosis association. DOUBLE OF CZAR'S DAUGHTER Mrs. Mrs. Ariadne Roomanov, wife of Kerensky's secretary, experienced an unusual surprise when she arrived in Tokyo. She is the double of Tatiana, daughter of the former czar, who was reported on her way to America. Mrs. Roomanov was offered an entire wing of the imperial palace at Tokyo for her accommodation while in the Japanese capital, it being the belief that she really was the daughter of the czar. WOULD FIGHT HIS FATHER Man Whose Sire Is Captain in Hun Army Seeks Enlistment With Yanks. Denver, Colo.—In making application for the privilege of fighting with the American army in France, Eugene Casper, twenty-two, told Denver recruiting officers he would not hesitate to fire against a certain unit of the German army, of which his father is captain and in which two of his brothers are fighting. Casper, who has been in the United States less than three years, has received only his first papers in naturalization. He will not be admitted to military service at once. He is a son of Capt. Gustav Casper, of the German army. David Holzworth, a resident of Denver, former captain in the kaiser's army, and an uncle of young Casper, has a son in the American army.
