Admission 35 and 50 Cents FOOD CONSERVATION WEEK DEC. 1 TO 7 The 'plans for food conservation for world relief to be emphasized in the campaign to be carried out the first week in December, incident to the presentation in the schools, lodges, clubs, societies and churches, of Mr. Hoover's message on the program of conservation for the immediate future, is developing with great satisfaction to the workers in the organized forces of the United States Food Administration. The initial reading of the message will occur on Conservation Sunday, December 1, in the churches and other religious organizations which then assemble. The bishops of the colored churches are requesting all pastors in their jurisdictions to present the food message to their congregations on that day. The national and state leaders of fraternal orders, clubs and societies and the educational organizations, are all cooperating to do effective work in having the message reach all classes, and to secure the largest possible audience among the Negro people during the week of December 1-7. The message includes the special appeal and reason for individual participation in the new conservation program of voluntary control in order to meet the international food needs. To stop saving now would be like aiding an enemy of humanity. For some time yet we shall have neutrals, allies, and our own soldiers to supply with food through the result of saving on the part of the American people, and in addition we may share even with our conquered foe. In no other way can social order be restored in German territory and elsewhere in Europe. Every meeting held by colored people during the first week in December is arranging to feature the conservation idea. The organization of the colored people under the auspices of the Food Administration has developed satisfactorily and received the support of all the leaders in every part of the country. Special interest is centered in the arrangement made with the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in various sections to assist the Negro state directors and county representatives during the great drive December 1 to 7. The postponement of Conservation Week to December 2 because of the influenza epidemic, which is apparently over, has only added to the ranks of our workers and given time to strengthen the organization to carry out the propaganda. Ernest T. Attwell, head of the Negro Section, states: "The responses received from Negro leaders of national influence have been very gratifying. They indicate an interest in and a willingness to deliver the new food message. Our state' directors and county committees are awaiting the signal to start the greatest activity in food education ever witnessed among our people. The same cooperation will be given the Food Administration in its fight against famine in Europe, and in support of the relief measures for Belgium and others, as has been true in the fight against autoceaey." The important part that food-its production, wise distribution, and conservation—will play in the affairs of nations, is difficult for many to realize. It has taken the great world crisis to teach that it is an outstanding factor, not only in war, but of inestimable value in peace, affecting not only economics and subsistence, but also as a means of healing the cancer of social unrest. The activities of Conservation Week are to include (1) Sunday, December 1, Mr. Hoover's message to be read in churches; (2) during the week the message to be read to all clubs and other organizations; (3) Tues- --- THE DAYTON FORUM A. E. day, December 3, public meetings to be held in various parts of the country, emphasis being placed on conservation for world relief; (4) Wednesday, December 4, program carried out in the women's clubs; Friday, December 6, a program in the public schools. When the history of this period shall have been written, it will fall in its purpose if it does not emphasize that food has been a contributing factor in winning the victory for the higher ideals and for humanity. Notwithstanding the postponement on account of the "Flu" and false reports circulated by some who opposed the women meeting this year, saying that the people of Dayton would not open their homes to them and that the city pastors would close the churches against them, the women, after a stay of four days in the city, left saying that it was one of the best conventions in many years. The attendance was not large, but all the sessions were characterized by a spirituality rarely seen in such bodies. The opening session was a most touching one when sister greeted sister with tears in their eyes. Songs of praise and prayers seemed to melt all hearts into one of gratitude to God. At the close of the morning session the first day, they raised $810.96. This was followed by great praise and rejoicing, as they needed only $800 to cancel the mortgage against the Baptist Women's Home on Eaton Pike, six miles west of the city. On Saturday morning, the convention visited the Home in a special car over the Ohio Electric. As this was the first time that many of them had seen the Home, it was an occasion of another season of praise service. Products of the farm were put on exhibition and the visitors were so eager to begin other buildings on the Home that some of the vegetables were sold at auction to start a building fund. A turnip was sold for $252 to First Baptist, Walnut Hills, Cincinnati; an ear of corn, $156, to Hamilton County union, and an apple, $28, to Antioch, Columbus. The needlework brought up from the different societies was a splendid display and netted a handsome sum when sold. A patriotic service was held on the afternoon of the second day, which was very touching in song and speech. Several very beautiful solos were rendered during the session, one among the many being by Mrs. Florence Della Cochran, Springfield. Mrs. I. B. Taylor, of Cincinnati, had charge of the children's band and, after an excellent missionary program by the Dayton Children's Band, gave an interesting talk on the work. The convention sermon was preached by Rev. B. F. McWilliams, Toledo. They raised in cash from all sources $1,450.75, and more than $1,200 was promised in subscriptions for next year. Mrs. Sarah Johnson and the entire set of officers were reelected unanimously. The crowning feature of the session of the meeting was the burning of the mortgage on Sunday afternoon in the presence of an immense audience, after which it was explained that Mrs. Sarah Johnson, in whose name the property had formerly been held, had transferred the title to the Board of Trustees elected by the convention. The Baptist State B. Y. P. U., presided over by Rev. B. A. Mitchell, was very interesting. The young people's meeting was likewise characterized by a deep religious fervor throughout. A very neat sum was raised by this body, also. As an evidence of hospitality to the State B. Y. DAYTON, OHIO, FRIDAY NOV. 29, 1918 VERSAILLES, WH This is a view of the beautiful pea many's doom.

He was greeted with a happy welcome by his many friends in the church he formerly pastored. He was at his best in the spirit and the sermon will be long remembered. The president preached at the evening service, and at the close of the service Brother Amonamed Milia presented some of his religious paintings, which were pronounced the greatest ever shown in Dayton. Many bought reproductions, and the visitors be-seeched him to stay longer in the state and exhibit in their home cities. The delegates left saying that it was good to be here, and assured the good people in Dayton that, if the Lord willed, they would be back in 1919. DAYTON LOOSES PROMISING YOUTH Hugh L. DeMar, Jr., one of Dayton's most promising colored youths, departed this life November 20, 1918, at the age of nineteen years, three months, and one day, his illness lasting but a few days. Hugh DeMar was connected with iZon Baptist Church and was active in the Sunday school, B. Y. P. U., and other organizations. Hugh was highly esteemed by every one with whom he came in contact, and praised by all for his cheerful disposition and the efforts which he put forth to serve humanity in the best way possible. In his last hour he spoke of the mansions in glory in which he was to dwell, and the hope that he had in Christ. In his passing we have lost a life full of service and one who loved to serve and make life pleasant for others. Hugh L. DeMar was born in Lexington, Kentucky, August 19, 1899. He came with his parents, brother, and siter to Dayton, Ohio, in April, 1904. This has been his home since that time, up until he departed from us. He found the Lord in the early spring of 1910. Since that time, his only aim was to at last reach heaven. RESOLUTION FROM THE DAYTON PEOPLE'S BAND Inasmuch as God has seen fit to remove from our organization a faithful member and brother, Richard Oldham, we feel we have lost a valuable counselor and member, one who stood ready at all times to give a pleasant answer and a smile to all with whom he came in contact. Brother Richard Oldham was always ready to do his duty willingly and gladly. It was he who for twenty years has been one of the main factors in holding our band together. He was the father of our organization, and his very presence would inspire every member. The Musicians' Union and band extend to Mrs. Oldham and relatives their deepest sympathy, and join with the public in mourning the loss of this grand and noble Christian character.

Tyler, Accredited Representative of the Committee on Public Information. ARTICLE V. Somewhere in France—I have just returned from a five days' stay at an S. O. S. camp at which I met a number of colored officers who are there either as the result of wounds on awaiting reclassification. This particular S. O. S. camp is a casualty camp also, to which are sent all officers, white as well as colored, who are to be reclassified as the result of wounds or other causes. Here I met Majors Arthur Williams and Charles L. Hunt, of Illinois, Captain C. L. Hill, of Chicago, Lieutenants E. S. Gillard, Indianapolis, D. W. Anthony, St Louis, Birney Cox, Columbus, Ohio, D. E. Simelton, Chicago, Fred D. Porter, Waco, Texas, U. Gaines, Junction City, Kans., Herdon White, Portland, Maine, B. F. Rudd, Springfield, Ohio, R. C. Allen, Springfield, Ohio, and Walker, of Springfield, Ohio. Lieutenant D. W. Johnson, surgeon, of Columbus, Ohio, is permanently stationed here, attached to the medical corps. I have never, during my stay in France, been accorded such courteous and considerate treatment as I was accorded by General Rosenbaum, the commandant at this camp. He personally conducted me through the barracks on foot, and then accompanied me, in his automobile, on a tour of the grounds. He assured me, and I later confirmed it in conversation with the colored officers, that there is absolutely no discrimination, because of color, tolerated at this camp, either in barracks, mess, or other assignments. He spoke most highly of the colored officers and soldiers stationed at this camp, and said he was perfectly willing to be quoted as saying the colored men under him were splendid soldiers. He apparently took great pride in telling of how quickly colored soldiers learned their duties, and how punctual and precise they were in performing duties. Another white officer at this casualty camp, whose considerateness of and fine treatment accorded colored soldiers' entitles him to be mentioned in this letter, is Lieutenant C. H. Hagar, of Chicago, who is in charge of the officers' casualty company. Every colored officer here speaks in the highest terms of Lieutenant Hagar. At the Historic Castle of Blois. Near here, and easily and quickly accessible from the camp, stands the historic old castle of Blois, perhaps the most famous chateau in France, which, although erected in the thirteenth century, is still in a marvelous state of preservation. This old castle has a tragic history. Here Louis of Orleans was assassinated in 1407, Louis XII. was born, the Duke de Guise and his brother, the Cardinal of Lorraine, were murdered at the order ```markdown ``` of Henri the Third, here Henri III, himself was assassinated, and here Catherine de Medici reigned, poisoned her many noblemen and noblewomen who became victims of her displeasure, and here she died. As one roams through the corridors, royal bed chambers, libraries, counsel and throne and ball rooms of this historical old chateau, still rich in its original decorations and settings, the royal ghosts of the hoary past seem to pass in review before you. This old chateau, at divers times, was occupied by every one of France's reigning kings and queens down to Napoleon. To whatever point the many officers ordered here for reclassification, or recuperation, may be sent, they seem to find much satisfaction in having the unusual opportunity of visiting and roaming through the old historical castle of Blois, which has defied six centuries to shatter or decay it. And the sleepy historical town that lies below and around the castle of Blois, with its incomparable architecture, its massive walls, its towers and interior decorations which the present day, with all of civilization's progress, cannot equal, unfolds to our colored soldiers so much of the past as to, at least partially, compensate them for having been ordered to this casualty camp located nearby, where seven real live generals, a score or more of colonels and lieutenant colonels and majors and captains and lieutenants too numerous to be mentioned, some of them colored, anxiously await further orders. Quite complacently, and unmurmuringly, they are doing the "watchful waiting" stunt. Colored officers awaiting reclassification form less than two per cent. of the total number at this casualty camp, and only, perhaps, about one per cent. of the total number of commissioned colored officers in the army. This is quite a tribute to the efficiency of colored officers. But who would not complacently and unmurmuringly wait where much of France's long history was made? Here Victor Hugo once lived, and here he wrote the first chapters of his immortal "Les Miserables"; near here still stand the casties of Cardinal Amboise and the Duke of Epernon; the church of Saint Vinbuiltent, erected in 1620, and in which are the tombs of Gaston of Orleans and Mademoiselle de Montpensier; the church of Saint Laumrt, built in the thirteenth century, and the old College of Augustine-Thierry. Our colored officers at this casualty camp, while they dine and sip their Bordeaux wine of a vintage old, but which contains not the least semblance of a "kick," discuss French history of the past, much of which was written in blood, that was made in and about the old castle of Blois. Up to date, the most delightful hours I have spent in France were spent in this casualty camp, compa- ADVERTISERS realize quick results when using these columns to reach the people. Phone Us!

At the present time, there rest in this old castle a number of treasured old palitings, brought here for safekeeping to save their being destroyed by the hands of the impious Hun. Colored Stevedores Doing "Essential Work" at Base Ports Work at Base Ports. Somewhere in France.—Figures just made available show that, for the month of September, there was handled at the American base ports in France 67,648 tons, or a daily average of 25,588 tons, an increase of nearly ten per cent. over August. When it is considered that colored stevedores handled by far the largest per cent. of this tonnage, some idea can be formed of the very important service colored stevedores are rendering the Government here in France, and how necessitous are they to the success of the Allies. The work of colored stevedores may be menial, and is laborious, but it is as essential as the manning of guns at the front. Fact is, without these stevedores first unloading and aiding in transporting the guns, munitions, and supplies to the front, there would be no manning of guns at the front. One who sees the stevedores work, notes with what rapidity and cheerfulness they work, and what a very important coq they are in war's machinery. The colored stevedore has greater endurance than the others, and because of the absolute necessity of stevedores to aid the men at the front, the employment or drafting of so many colored stevedores becomes a compliment. Colored Soldiers Saving Their Money for "Rainy Day." While visiting in the Colored Y. M. C. A. huts over here, I as particular to make inquiry as to the provident inclination of colored troops, and especially those in the service battalion. I was gratified to learn that a appreciable number of the men are saving up for a rainy day—taking care of their money. I was cognizant of the fact, before sailing for France, that there were many solitic members of our race, back home, who were wondering what the colored soldiers here were doing with their money, since the Government supplied them with everything necessitous. I learned that there are a considerable number who are sending their money back home; that a very considerable number are "salting" their war is ended. I met one young man at Hut No. I who had a wife and child back in the states, in Arkansas. When I asked him if he was saving his money, he replied: "Yes, every son. I feel the need of more education," he said, "and it is a question with me whether to use my excess money to provide more and better education for myself, or rustle along with what I have and spend every penny on my child. I sort of feel that he will need the education more than I, and I cannot educate both him and myself." There are here, as at home, some who are improvident; but, from what I could learn, there are many—a surprising number—who will bring back with them, or who will have sent back home, every penny above what was absolutely necessary to spend over here. In five huts, it is stated, 125,000 more francs ($6,250) were sent home than had been expended here. The freedom offered colored soldiers in France is a great inducement to extravagance, and especially to many whose freedom, in the way of privileges, had been more or less limited. Considering this, the number who are saving their money is most gratifying. Film of "Our Colored Fighters" To Be Released. Announcement is made that the Division of Films of the United States Committee on Public Information has made arrangements for the release of an inspiring patriotic moving-picture "Our Colored Fighters," through the Downing Film Company, Astor Theater Building, New York City. By communicating with this corporation, colored patriotic organizations can secure this film and give the people of every section of the country an opportunity to see it and to assist in raising funds for the various war-relief agencies that are conducting "drives" for the benefit of our boys at the front, "Our Colored Fighters" is a two-reel picture illustrating graphically the important part the Negro troops have taken in the world war. It pictorializes the enlistment and training of the colored soldiers in the cantonments and also shows them in action in some of the most thrilling combats COLORED AMERICAN IN WAR WORK More Colored Chaplains Assigned for Army Service. Nine colored chaplains, graduates of the class of September-October at the Army Chaplains' training School, Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky., have been appointed and assigned as follows: American Expeditionary Force (overseas service), Matthew W. Clair, Jr., and Lewis A. McGee; John W. E. Bowen, Jr., 100th Depot Brigade, Camp Taylor, Ky.; Frank W. Brown, 150th Depot Brigade, Camp Lee, Va.; Ellis A. Christian, 165th Depot Brigade, Camp Travis, Texas; Eugene H. Hamilton and Frederick D. L. McDonald, 11th Division, Camp Meade, Md.; A. Huntington Hatwood, Camp Taylor, Ky.; and Max Yergen, Camp Lee, Va. These are included in the total of sixty colored chaplains announced as now in the service of the United States Army in this country and overseas. Pleasant Conditions at Camp Lee. Conditions at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Virginia, are quite satisfactory to the ten thousand colored soldiers now stationed there, according to a statement made by Rev. Arthur G. C. Randall, a representative of the Y. M. C. A. work at that point. The 13th Infantry replacement battalion at Camp Lee has four colored captains, and there is also the 155th Depot Brigade, both of which are rendering excellent service. Officers and men are treated with uniform courtesy and respect by their commanders. There are two colored chaplains, Max Yergan and J. H. Brown, spiritual leaders of broad sympathies, and they exert a most wholesome influence upon the morale of the men. A commodious hostess house is in process of erection and will fill a long-felt want. In Petersburg, the War Camp Community Service has established a finely equipped soldiers' club, with all modern improvements, including audience room, library, shower baths, pool and billiard tables, writing room, and provision for every kind of social recreation. This work is directed by James Sanders, assisted by Mr. McCorkle, a graduate of Hampton. The Y. W. C. A. has a like center for women, conveniently located on a prominent thoroughfare, where soldiers are made to feel "at home." Miss Jackson is head worker, and has a congenial assistant. Prof. J. M. Gandy, who is a special assistant in the War Camp Community Service activities among the colored people of the South, is very helpful in planning programs, and the musical exercises arranged by him are enjoyed as much by the white citizens as by the colored soldiers from Camp Lee, for whom they are primarily designed. The Y. M. C. A. is a lively center, and Secretary Randall is always "on the job," encouraging the soldier boys to improve themselves mentally, assisting them in their letter-writing and taking the lead in their athletic diversions. "Abraham Lincoln Club" Organized in Cuba. The colored people of Havana, Cuba, have organized an "Abraham Lincoln Club" for war work. Sergeant H. Thomas is president; Clifford C. Hancock, director; and Henry H. Sellers, treasurer. Ex-Sergeant John R. Thomas, formerly of the 10th United States Cavalry, now confidential messenger to President Mario G. Menocal, of the Republic of Cuba, is the founder of the organization. At Blanco 8, the club has handsome quarters, with large audience room, palm garden on roof, with a clear sweep for the breez-dancing floor and provision for all kinds of recreation. Connected with the club is a ladies' auxiliary, an employment agency, physical culture department, and classes for instruction in Spanish and English, and a club hospital is in contemplation. President Menocal is chairman of the board of trustees. The membership is upward of two hundred. At a meeting of the employees of the National Baptist Publishing House, Nashville, Tenn., held in the chapel of the plant, the office staff subscribed for $5,000 worth of Fourth Liberty Bonds. Henry Allen Boyd addressed the meeting and made very clear the war aims of the Government in their especial application to colored Americans. He also held a successful meeting at Columbia, Tenn., to push the sale of liberty bonds. During the recent campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan in Dallas and Marengo counties of Alabama, Dr. A. F. Owens, dean of the Theological Department of Selma University, delivered some effective speeches. Both counties went "over the top" and five hundred and one thousand dollar subscribers among the colored people were numerous. Several Alabama dailies are carrying the war news relating to Negroes, and both white and colored readers find it most interesting. The Nashville Globe is to issue a special "Patriotic Number" during the first week in December, under the direction of Henry Allen Boyo, and the A. M. E. Church Review, of which Dr. Beverdy C. Ransom is editor, is to put out a "Patriotic Number" some time during the same month. Although the armistice with Germany has been signed and peace is on its way, there is no diminution in the patriotic spirit on the part of the colored press or the people in general. They regard the new labor that must bring to the Negro race the fruits of the great victory for democracy as important as the work they have just put into the winning of the war itself. The 12,000,000 colored Americans in this land are keenly alive to the tremendous service that is called for by the future to guarantee to them the liberty and opportunity for which they have fought, side by side with other branches of the American family. The Charleston "American" invites attention to the fact that, out of the $260,000 taken at Charleston., S. C., Navy Yard, 1,200 colored employees, many of them only in temporary serves from the Gulf of Mexico, with fine, recently bought bonds to the value of $66,700, over one-fourth of the total. Capt. Joseph E. Trigg, who has made an enviable record with the 368th Infantry "somewhere in France," formerly in command of Company A, has been transferred to the staff and placed in charge of munitions. Captain Trigg took an active and creditable part in the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient, one of the decisive battles of the war. It is stated that there are now 325 Y. M. C. A. secretaries engaged in work among the colored troops in this country and overseas, laboring under the supervision of Dr. J. E. Moorland, international secretary and in charge of the colored division of Y. M. C. A. war work, conducted through the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. of the United States, with headquarters at 347 Madison Avenue, New York City. John M. Wright, former deputy treasurer of Shawne County, Topeka, Kansas, has enlisted in the war service as a Y. M. C. A. secretary and is stationed at Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois. One of the urgent matters to which colored Y. M. C. A. secretaries at the various camps have been addressing themselves earnestly and vigorously, is the reduction of illiteracy among the colored soldiers. In a few of the camps, it is stated, more than eighty per cent. of the men are unable to read or write. This refers particularly to camps where the colored men come from districts far removed from cities or settlements where educational facilities are available. A city-wide reception was tendered in honor of Sergeant Needham Roberts, Wednesday evening, November 6, at Trenton, N. J., his home town. Mayor Frederick W. Donnelly took a hearty interest in arranging the affair. This is the member of the "Fighting Fifteenth" of New York (merged into the 369th Infantry) who, with Henry Johnson, put a score or more of Huns to flight in one of the most terrific encounters of the war in France, and thus saved the lives of thousands of their sleeping comrades in camp, over which they are assigned as guards. Mrs. E. D. Trowbridge is recreation director of the State of Michigan, and W. P. Kemp, editor of the Detroit "Leader," is chairman of the auxiliary that looks after Negro work. Plans are being laid for the revival of the colored soldiers' club which was discontinued some weeks ago at Detroit. Mr. Kemp is also a member of the Speakers' Committee of 100, under the authority of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, and has been carrying on a vigorous campaign of education throughout the Wolverine State through largely attended public meetings and the devotion of generous space in the columns of the Detroit "Leader." As an illustration of the international interest that the Negro's participation in the war is attracting, a number of striking comments have been made on the war work of the American Negro by "West Africa," an admirably gotten-up weekly newspaper published in London, England, and capably edited by Albert Cartwright. This is the only British weekly devoted exclusively to the Allies' countries in West Africa, the majority of whose people are Africans. Mr. Cartwright, himself a native African, expresses a desire for all possible information as to what the "African-descended people of the United States" are doing for the common VILLE THOSE Candies, Confectionary, Soft Drinks, Tobacco, Cigars, Cigarettes RACE PAPERS — Chicago Defender, Freeman, —The Crisis Private Telephone First Class Rooms 1005 W. 5th St. Dayton's first and only Colored Plumbers Plumbing, Steam and Gas Fitting All orders given Prompt Attention "Hustling Dona" Selling Real Estate on Easy Terms Houses for Sale and Rent PROPERTIES RAPIDLY HANDLED Open Tues., Thurs.

This was the contrite confession of a remarkable aristocrat, as he saw, while meditating in the temple, a vision of heaven and God Himself sitting on His throne. This young man moved generally in the gay court of his king and was among the first family of his nation. But with all his social relationships, he held God even before him, and the worship of God was his chiefest joy. The vision he saw of the Almighty enthroned, outranked the spectacle of the royal court he so often attended. It outranked this royal court, not only in splendor and magnificence, but also in purity and holiness. It was because of this unearthly purity, this grandeur of glory, this angelic and superangelic presence, that he recognized his unfitness, his glaring shortcomings, and his impurity. And, like a wise and humble creature, he confessed his unworthiness in his consternation. "Woe is me!" But there was a divine sympathy between this sinful man and the angels before God; and so an angel purified the tongue of our young friend with a live coal from the altar of heaven, and assured him that no longer was he impure. Then, as it were to test his gratitude, God called for a messenger, an ambassador, to carry a message, to represent God, to the nation; and our young aristocrat gladly offered himself with remarkable readiness: "Here am I, send me." There is no splendor, no glory, no magnificence like that of God's. There is no impurity that God cannot cleanse. There should be no stratum of society from which the servants of Isiah I.

What work have you accepted for God? Have you had your hearts purified? your lips cleansed? What good are you doing to your fellow men? What is your soul cry? "Woe is me" or "Here am, send me?" 2. "Brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." Strength is the fundamental principle of all existence. No strength, no life. Little strength, little life. Much strength, much life. Great strength, great life. There is physical strength, mental strength, and spiritual or ghostly strength. All animals endeavor to have enough strength to supply themselves with livelihood. When strength is carried up to the mind and spirit, it is called mental power and spiritual strength. To be strong physically, is a very fine thing. It enables one to lift, to do, to run, to endure, to accomplish great things in labor. And every one admires a perfect specimen of manhood or womanhood and even of dumb animals. But perfect manhood is of little real value if it is not accompanied with a mental development to equal its perfection. There may be plenty of strength but no power to guide it aight; and therefore of poor use at best. Mental power must be harnessed to physical strength to be of any positive use. How easily do we guide the steam engine or the electric motor, with their tremendous physical power or strength! The horse, the ox, the camel, the elephant, how docile do these become through the application of mental power to their several brute strength and psychology! Thus is mental power greater than physical. But there is a power above all these—the power of the spirit.

At 0:30 a.m., a live Sunday school, well attended by young and old. At 10:45 a.m., Rev. Uptorgrove warmed up the audience by one of his favorite subjects. At 7:30 we were favored with a special sermon by Miss James, a student of Willberforce The ological Seminary, studying for evangelistic work. She is a very pleasing speaker and singer. Next Sunday will be Trustees' Day, and we hope to have a record-breaker in Allen Church. The general roll of the membership of the church will be called and we hope to hear the answer "Present." All members, friends, and strangers are invited. Thursday, November 28, Thanksgiving Day, a turkey dinner was served under the auspices of the Stewardess Board. There were two added to the church on last Sunday, and our collection was way above normal; and we hope to continue in this good spirit to work for the Master. The members of the Needlecraft Social Club met at the residence of Mrs. Zephas Reed, 89 Mead Street, Tuesday evening, November 24. Business of importance was discussed. The next meeting will be Tuesday evening, December 3, at the residence of Mrs. Ellis, 81 Mead Street. All members please be present.

Adv. --- Famous Shock Troops Underuo Severe Training for Their Work. American Red Cross Canteen Workers Are Invited to a "Midnight Party"—Tell How They Enjoyed the Show. At the front—We were serving cold lemonade to the hot dusty Ardidi in one little Red Cross canteen near the front. The Ardidi are Italy's famous shock troops, young, dashing, fearless volunteers for the assault, who clear the way for their comrades following. They had been working hard since early down and were thirsty. Learning to continue on their strenuous war, they staged an invitation: "Come and see us at midnight; we are going to have a show." We promised to come. near shakes the Heavens. Late in the evening we set out up, the mountain road. So near the front lines lights are forbidden, and we advanced slowly in the darkness. Suddenly dilu shadowy loom 'abend, we slam on the bridges, and with a terribile crush the night is startled into brilliance. Dripping blood, a soldier staggers towards us, and we see in the illfive there the outlines of crowding figures; behind trees, wands and wagons. A rear as if the heavens are falling; lower and lower we bend as the shells go screaming overhead. A blinding crash, and we see a curtain of fire dropping on the opposite side. With a muffled roar a sea of flame bursts in the valley below. Wave on wave of fire, rolling relentlessly and ```markdown ``` breaking on the airborne sand of the trenches, Liquid fire! The men encending beneath the weight of the projectors look like ants confusedly busy. A surprising full, and the storm breaks. The very mountains tremble. The shell whistle of shells now answered by a spitful tap of the machine gun. The unmistakable wattle of the torpedo, the whang of lurking suprap, the laurifying fury of high explosives. The night is hideous with youth and pale star-shells hang in the sky, fighting the torval stage. The surprise is falling, this time higher up the trenches, and makes its protection the snout troops of advancing in the face of a wilting fire. The steady note of a tide rolly and a man's hands here and another there as the machine grasps busily sped out death. Thus Are They Trained. Aster the heavens part and the marmurus seem afire. Once more the terrible preparation, the terrance-living lighthouse and higher. The sky is red. The second line is passed—and the third! Alms on the slope the flag waves in triumph, and a falcon heave steals steals across the valleys. The attack has succeeded! The lighting and the tilt and tilt. On the silence breaks the measured trend of men and in the light of a thieving lantern we see the stretcher-beaters carefully swing up the road. Inward we we question one another. Simple American Red Cross workers, unfamiliar with the stern side of war, we were to attend a party. Where are we? Where are the Austrians? Will they counter-attack? The weared the dead? In the darkness we are hither: "Ah, you Americans—you have found us! How did you enjoy our little show? Antsiana? Tronches? Wounded? No!—but it was only a sham fight! It is so we train, we Arditi.

THE COLORED MAN'S GREAT RECORD Loyalty has ever been the dominating trait of the American Negro. Our history is full of instances and concrete examples of the faithfulness of the colored people who are a part of the nation. And right now it is especially interesting to discover that through all the hustle and bustle of war activity, the Negroes were putting their shoulders to the wheel, with a fervor and patriotism that should shame many who talked much but did little. Statistics just made public show that the poverty of the colored man in the South did not prevent him from doing more than his share in the War Savings campaign. A quick and whole-hearted response was the answer of the colored people to the call of the nation. Communities which had large Negro populations made the best showing. Colored chairmen, appointed to canvass among the colored people in their communities, doubled and trebled their quotas inside of twenty-four hours after the start of the drive These results were accomplished because of the loyalty of the American Negro. He has good cause to know what the Stars and Stripes stand for, and the evidence shows that the freedom and liberty gained in the Civil War are thoroughly appreciated. The Negroes are American citizens, and as such are glad and proud to share the duties and responsibilities that are incumbent upon citizenship. Dayton Journal.

YOUNG COLORED MAN ENTERS BUSINESS OF HIS OWN The opportunities that are being given to the young colored men by reason of the great demand, ability, and labor of the various kinds, have not only caused anxiousness on their part to enter places such as shops and factories where trades may be learned that they might better equip themselves to more easily and with better skill do the things that they will no doubt be called upon to do in the future, but are awakening the latent powers and setting in motion the skill and art which they by chance had an opportunity to learn previously. Among those who by good fortune had a chance to learn much of art, is Mr. Joseph Burnett, the Home Portrait Photographer, who has had many years of experience in this line of work. He has worked with some of the leading photographers in the state. His experience in the work is his recommendation. Mr. Burnett is prepared to do any kind of home portrait work that any experienced workman is able to do. Satisfaction is absolutely guaranteed on all work. A trial with him will convince any one of his skill and ability in this line of work. Too much cannot be said, nor too much praise given to any member of the race, who has the ability to do some one thing well, and can muster up enough courage to attempt it. Such a one deserves our encouragement and support. We are, therefore, presenting to our people the only colored home portrait photographer in the city, and trust that he will have the hearty cooperation of all his friends and people who have such work to be done. Engagements may be made by letter, phone, or personal call. Phone, Main 8072. Address, Joseph Burnett, 333 Norwood Avenue. ARMY LIFE PUTS BOYS IN SHAPE Former Weaklings Now Have Muscles Like a Blacksmith's Apprentice. Outdoor Work and Proper Food Make Huskies of Them—Army Doctors Continually on Watch for Health of Men. With the American Armies in France.—Whether he used to be frail or strong, the doughboy is becoming one of the huskiest chaps on this side of the line. War agrees with the American boy, Judging from the solid, healthy-looking specimens you see trudging up and down the lines and holding them. It is a series of surprises you have with the American army, continually meeting some husky whom you hardly recognize because back in the States he was "that frail little William Jones." Under Uncle Sam's care he has grown shoulders of a football player, and he marches on a pair of legs twice as stout as they used to be, and you couldn't call him William if you had to—his only name is Bill, now that he has joined the heavyweight class. Despite the fears of the family for the boy, it has done him good to join up in Uncle Sam's army. His present healthy condition is due to a number of causes, not the least of which is the physical training he has undergone to enable him to stand hardship. The chap who couldn't take gymnasium at high school because he had a weak heart has become a daughboy who thinks nothing of marching all night with a pack on his back and then standing guard next day. Strong as Blacksmiths. Outdoor work almost continuity and being tired enough at the end of the day to drop down and sleep anywhere, has been just the thing to inure the boy to hardships. He is out not only in summer when it is pleasant, but in rain and wind, and his life has made him hard and rugged, and a far better man physically than when he came to France. Jogging up and down roads on an artillery caisson, or handling a huge truck, has given the former drug clerk muscles like those of the blacksmith's apprentice. The kind of food he has had to eat has been encouraging, too. Good solid "chow," like beef, beans, potatoes and bread, make man-power, and they have lots of "chow" in the American army. It is served up at regular intervals, and it builds muscles in the soldier's arms and legs and makes him have broader, better filled-out shoulders. They have dessert, too, in this man's army, but instead of the plies and cakes of peace days, it is rice pudding, or canned fruit. Then the boy keeps pretty good habits with the army here in France, except for his night hours, which he becomes accustomed to, and which he makes up with sleep in the daylight hours when Germans could see him if he worked. The means of going even on mild "tears" are not at the doughboy's disposal in the army, and anyway he is too busy beating the Germans to think about anything but his work, a situation which is helpful to his state of mind, as well as his body. He is learning good living and clean habits in the army. Doctors on Lookout. Then there are those army doctors who are continually watching to nip anything in the bud that might break down health of the men. A good football team in training never averaged higher in medical attention than Uncle Sam's fighters. Inspection takes place ever so often, and is careful. The men, knowing they are entitled to treatment freely, report sooner for attention. Dentists are far more popular than they used to be, as well as doctors. Even the chaps who are sent back to hospitals gain by the deal, despite the popular belief. By far the larger number of men in hospitals have merely temporary disabilities. The army hospitals run on one basis, that of making a man better for service than he was before. Of course there are men who must go back home after their hospital sojourns, but with the exception of a few cases, they too leave hospitals in healthier condition than they were in when they joined the army. The reason is this: Every means of science is used freely to find out what ails the donghoy who enters the hospital, and before he leaves every means known to cure him has been tried. There is no question of cost or whether or not he wants to take the treatment. He gets it—which is important, say physicians, since an enormous amount of disability in civilians is allowed to increase, because of antipathy of many people to medical treatment. The soldier who arrives at a hospital is practically certain to get an X-ray examination all over, unless his trouble is a mere scratch and he is all right otherwise. If anything ails him, the medical man find it out, and they go right after the allment at once. Thus the soldier who came in to get his appendix removed may have his lungs treated, his teeth fixed and his deaf ear operated upon and made perfect. He is a decidedly better human being for his hospital experience. CARD OF THANKS Mr. Harry Fujie and sisters-in-law, Mrs. Dollie Cypret, Mrs. Nellie Carter, and Mrs. Effa M.
