CAMPANY "C" BACK IN U.S.A. Vol 6 Number 37 MORRIS FORCES DEAL BODY BLOW IN FIRST ROUND TO REBEL GANG Judge Ferguson Refuses To Issue Order To Restrain the S. C. M. from Transacting the Business of the Order. Philadelphia, Jan. 17.—The first act of what is considered the greatest legal drama in the history of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, was brought to a close on the above date, with the result that John Noel, Ben Davis; Henry Lincoln Johnson, et al., were dealt a solar plexus which took the gang and their followers completely off their feet, and left them in a terrible dazed and confused condition. Beginling on Sunday, January 12, the regular forces under Edward H. Morris and the conspirators under John Noel poured into the city in large numbers. On Monday morning at 10:00 o'clock, G. M. Edward H. Morris called the S. C. M. to order the transaction of business. The meeting had barely started into its regular order, when the Noel gang marched in a body to our national headquarters, bound for Wright and Spruce streets, boarded the elevator, and proceeded to the meeting room of the S. C. M., and demanded possession of the building and the order. Their demands were refused, and they were ordered from the building under threat of arrest for trespassing if they did not go. Failing in their first play, they took the second one according to the schedule mapped out by Boss Ben Davis. They went immediately to the court house and filed an injunction suit, asked for a receiver and a quo warranto suit against the S. C. M. It would seem very evident to any ordinary person that the court was not much impressed with the seriousness of their contentions, from the fact that he appointed the time for the injunction hearing to a period that permitted the S. C. M. to transact all of its business. After the little incident of Monday morning, we were not disturbed by the gang until we met them at the hearing, Friday afternoon, January 17. By that time, there were about fifteen state Grand Masters in the city ready and anxious to assist the S. C. M. in protecting the order against those who would wreck and despoil it. By 2:00 p.m., Grand Master Edward H. Morris and his council, J. C. Asbury, and ex-Judge Beitter, together with about one hundred loyal officers and members, filed into room No. 3 of the common pleas court, with heads erect, countenances clear, and conscience void of offense. Soon afterward came the gang skulking in. Rev. J. G. Robinson, a former pastor of Eaker Street Church, and John Noel led the way, their eyes shifting uneasily about the court room, and they were ill at ease in their seats. The court was called to order, much to the distress, and even their lawyers were nonplussed. They attempted to start the case several times and each time the judge was compelled to request them to confine themselves to the charges set forth in their petition for an injunction and receiver, in which petition they alleged that the S. C. M. was turning them out of the order in a high-handed manner, thereby destroying their vested rights. The judge demanded that evidence be produced to sustain such charges. Under the leadership of a great array of legal talent from the law firm of Peppers and Peppers, of Philadelphia Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta Georgia, W. T. Francis, St. Paul Minn., and Perry Howard, of Mississippi, they pulled themselves together and placed four different persons on the stand, none of whom had been tried by the S. C. M.; but their cases are before the Board on appeal from lower courts, so the judge ruled that an lien of any action by the S. C. M. THE DAYTON FORUM LITIGATION there was nothing upon which to predicate an action. Therefore he denied their prayer for an injunction and a receiver. The judge further stated that it would take very strong reasons to cause him to sustain the prayers of the petitioners because of the noble history of our order and the great good it had been to our race in this country. He concluded his remarks by pointing to Grand Master Morris and his followers and said, "You Odd Fellows are as fine a lot of gentlemen as I ever saw." At this point, Perry Howard made the last great scramble of a drowning man pleading for his and the gang's "vected rights," but the judge contended that it would be a pity to wreck this great order and that is what would happen if their prayer was granted, and the evidence that they had produced would not warrant him in taking any such action. By mutual consent it was agreed to leave the appeals cases pertaining to the N. Y. Conspiracy meeting at the Manhattan Casino on the able until after the hearing of the quo warranto case. While in Philadelphia we visited many places of interest, among which Allen's tomb, also the Christian Recorder Publishing Company and the Odd Fellows' Temple. We then went to New York City and spent nearly a week sightseeing and being entertained by friends. We enjoyed one of the best spiritual meetings of our life in Big Bethel A. M. E., Sunday morning, January 19. I feel safe in saying there wasn't a dry eye in the church when Rev. Mr. Means, of Ga., finished preaching. I also had the honor of visiting Philomathean Lodge, the mother of all the Odd Fellow lodges in this country, established in 1843 by Peter Odger. We next visited Washington, D. C., for several days, heard Bishop Albert Johnson deliver a very able sermon in the large Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and of all the sights in the Capital we stood longest and meditated most at the monument of Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln Park. At Mt. Vernon, Va., we were again impressed with the high estimate in which we are held for reliability. The sacred bones of George Washington are guarded by George Sims, a Negro. While on our little sightseeing trip, we aimed to note the progress of our people, their schools, churches, lodges, and business establishments of the four great cities in the East. We take our hat off to Baltimore, Md. War Correspondent Gives Lecture A big crowd was present at the Ninth Street "Y" to hear Hon. Ralph Tyler, war correspondent from the western front. Hon. Jos. L. Jones was master of ceremonies; prayer by Professor Dacater; cantata, Park Street M. E. Church. A few brief remarks were made by Secretary H. S. Dunbar of "Y." Dr. Frank Johnson introduced the speaker. Mr. Tyler told of his experience in France and how nice the Frenchmen treated him, and the many embarrassments the American white men made him face in espousing the cause of world democracy. Mr. Tyler cheered the girls up by telling them to not get worried, the boys were coming back, which met with much applause. He said for his experience he would not take any price, could it be purchased, nor for any price would he go through it again. He also told of the many good things that the war had done for the colored people as a race.

ZION BAPTIST NOTES It was pleasing to note the hearty response to our appeal for registration for service as evidenced by the number of signed and returned cards received, also in the expressions of approval of the plan coming from so many voices in our large audience of Sunday last. Get and card and register. The fact that in life we are in the midst of death, was brought shockingly home to us at our last Sunday morning service when the news of the sudden death of our venerable deacon Brother Joseph Smith, was announced. Expressions of sympathy and condolence for the survivors of his family were plentiful; but the outstanding thought seemed to be regret at the loss of so faithful and valued an officer of so long standing in Zion. This and other recent losses among us, emphasize the necessity of preparation for the demand for new material to fill up the gaps and take up the burden which these departing ones have borne so faithfully and well. The motto of our B. Y. P. U., "We study that we may serve," is the spirit that seems to be taking hold in every department of our church—Bible class and Sunday school, as well as B. Y. P.

A BIG TRANSPORT LANDS COLORED MEN IN STATES Major Johnson, of Athens, Ohio Comes Home With Three Medals. Hoboken, N. J., Feb. 12.—Nearly 10,000 troops were unloaded from the big transport Leviathan at its docks here today. The soldiers were mostly Negroes. The units included the 371st regiment (colored), complete, 104 officers and 2,660 enlisted men; 372d infantry (colored), complete, 77 officers and 2,665 men; field and staff headquarters company, 163d infantry, 11 officers and 252 men; medical detachment and Thirty-eighth Infantry (colored), 35 officers and 1,329 men; Brest convalescent detachments, Nos. 24 to 34, inclusive, 37, 38, 39, 41 and 42, 2,132 officers and men, all sick and wounded. Major Samuel Johnson (white), of the 372d, living at Athens, Ohio, returned on the vessel, wearing the French Legion of Honor, the Croix de Guerre, and the Distinguished Service Cross for gallantry in action. He led his battalion in an attack in the Champagne, which resulted in capture of a German trench and 100 prisoners, an ammunition dump thirty troops, auto-trained Camps Upton and Merritt and the wounded and sick to base hospitals in and near New York. Dayton's famous Company C is with the 372d Infantry. Most of the families here have received telegrams from the boys. They will be discharged from Camp Upton. A hearty welcome will greet these brave soldiers when they reach the Gem City. Colored Officers Make Important Arrest FIND DRESSES ON MEN HELD FOR ROBBERY Donald Ward and Stanley Turner Are Accused by Columbus Store Owner. Through a clever bit of detective work on the part of Detectives Rice and Wheeler, of the Dayton police department, the burglary of the McDonald Clothing Company, of Columbus, in which clothing valued at $1,000 was stolen, was cleared up late Tuesday afternoon. Donald Ward, 22, and Stanley Harvey Turner, 27, colored, of Columbus, were arrested by the local detectives Monday afternoon and four stilk dresses, valued at $500, found in their possession, were identified as part of the stolen property. The two alleged burglars were returned to Columbus Tuesday afternoon by Detective Creeden, of the Columbus police department. The Dayton detectives traced part of the stolen property Sunday, following receipt of word that Ward and Turner came to Dayton Saturday night. Monday they were unable to get any trace of the men until noon when they were seen to board a city street car. They were watched and it was found that they left the car at Wyoming and Main streets. Detectives Rice and Wheeler, believing that the two suspicioned men were going to take a traction at this corner, boarded the car downtown. As surmised, the two men attempted to board the car. Ward was captured but Turner knew the two detectives and fled. A soldier, George R. Potter, 209 Park Street, assisted the officers in the chase and Turner was captured. The police department has word that some of the clothing stolen was sold in this city and is confident that all of it will be recovered. Mr. McDonald, proprietor of the store, was in Dayton Tuesday and identified the dresses found in the possession of the two men, police say. Mr. McDonald stated that he could not tell his exact loss.

From Serg. Ed. Sydner To the Editor of the Forum: To the Editor of the Forum: As my people are very anxious to know what their boys are doing in France, and as I am one of the first to return, they seem to think that I should be able to give them some information concerning the Negro in France. As I was not with our boys at all, it will be impossible for me to answer a great many of the questions that are asked me. I was with the 83d Division under General Glenn, which was at Le Mans. I saw many of our boys and they all seemed to be happy, are in all branches of the service in France, and in whatever branch of service he may be, whether he is using the pick or the shovel, unloading ships or on the should be proud of them. I didn't get to see any Dayton boys except Carl Shaw. At the time I saw him he was connected with a Southern division. Shaw spent one night with me at General Glenn's chateau at Le Mans. I had a long talk with him. He is with the medical corps and is doing wonderful work for the soldier boys. His mother and every mother should be proud that they have such sons in France. I am glad to be back, but I wouldn't take anything for my trip, as I had a wonderful experience, even though I didn't get in the firing line or see any real action at all. I had the pleasure of visiting several towns in England and spent some time in Paris, France. I only wish I could tell you something exciting, but as I was unable to get to the front I will have to leave that for the other boys to tell when they get home. From what I could see and hear, our boys have made good and done wonderful work in France for Uncle Sam. So let us all trust that when they return home we will all receive some benefit from what they have fought for. 83d Div., Headquarters Co. SGT.

Samuels-Belloder Vicar. With the choir enhanced and the attendance increased the services of the church are taking on gradually more of the forms of true churchly worship. There is a decided and very pleasing improvement in the spirit of all. This is an agury of success. The special feature, something new, too, in the Evensong next Sunday will be THE INDUCTION OF THE CHOIR. A special sermon will be delivered on this occasion, together with a solemn charge upon the importance and solemnity of the singers' part in public worship. The sermon on last Sunday morning was preached from the text. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and no man knoweth whence it cometh, and whither is goeth. The subject inherited the incomprehensibility of the spirit of God as el as of man. The vicar said that no man knows himself wholly. The study of oneself will absorb so much of one's time that there will be no time remaining to think or study about other people. He also explained that the term "born again" really means "born from above," a breaking of the light upon the conscience, a cleaner understanding of life's relationships, a vision of the glorified life which is possible on earth if mankind were to follow trustfully the teachings of Jesus Christ. Many of us instead of doing this, instead of trusting and increasing our capacity for understanding, deliverably choose what we call our own way or a better way. We grope, blindly, inquire, we deduct, we see some logic, we read all manner of foolish catch-the-crowd books and writings, and till at last we suffer from mental indigestion and spir- HEAR itual paralysis. We get none of the things we want, because we, from the beginning of our search, went astray. We are left a suffering spiritual wreck, developing cynicism, doubt, indifference, discouragement, agnosticism and at last atheism. There is no reason for any of this. But if we foolishly get into any such, there is but one remedy. WE MUST BE BORN FROM ABOVE. The three conditions of this heavenly birth are: 1. Humility; 2. Belief in, and living like Jesus Christ; 3. Patience in all things. That which cometh from above in spirit is of God. It is incomprehensible. But there's a way to possessit. Through Jesus Christ's way The address of the afternoon service was from Colonel Rooševelt's article in the last October issue of the Metropolitan Magazine, and entitled The Great Adventure. "Only those are fit to livew ho are not afraid to die." The subject of the address was SACRIFICE. The vicar flayed the idea of ignoble ense and wanton pleasure which seem to be the chief aim of most people, especially the younger men and women, and even the children over twelve. "No nation, no people, no race, can be great unless its sons and daughters live in them the quality to rise level to the beeds of heroic days. Yet this heroic quality is but the apex of a pyramid of which the broad foundations must solidly rest on the performance of duties so ordinary that to impatient minds they seem commonplace." Life is a great and good adventure, or a great curse. What are you making it? Sunday is SEPTHAGESIMA. Savings days, to speak roughly, from Lent. Beginning Sunday the church no longer sings in notes of sheer praise, but in meditative tones of remembrance of the suffering of Christ, ADMISSION 25c and the sins of men which were the cause. Septuagesima is the first day in the preparation of Lent. The morning lessons are Ezek. 33:1-20; St. Matt. 9:35-10:23; and the Evening, Genesis 37; I Cor. 2. The Collect Epistle and Gospel for Septuagesima. Read, mark, and digest them. The Bishop-Coadjutor will visit St. Margaret's on Sunday the 23rd instant, and administer the rite of Holy Confirmation at 4 o'clock. St. Margaret's is your church, if you desire it.

WERE AWKWARD AT FIRST "Spy Dropping" Another Feature of Work of Aviation Section Developed Toward End of War—Much Information Gained. London.—Taking tremendous risks, the British air force camera men played to perfection in the war the part of the spy in the enemy's camp. A month or so after our first very attenuated and ill-equipped flying squadron had gone over to France with the "Old Contemptibles," an observer flying one sunny day over the enemy lines took with him a much-cherished pocket camera and exposed some films over the enemy's ground beneath him. He wanted them only to send home to his people as souvenirs. When they were developed he found they formed an excellent pictorial map of the Roche front lines. Then it was that Lieutenant Colonel Moore-Brabazon, the "father" and organizer of the photographic section of the Royal Air force, realized the enormous possibilities of air photographs as an aid to the intelligence staff. He began to agitate for permission to carry on the work of photographing the German activities from the air. The early experiments turning out to be of first-rate value, Colonel Moore-Brabazon was sent home to start organizing a photographic branch of the flying corps. Gradually improved. And so the army spy service went on improving month by month. As the work of the flying arm of the service extended ashore and afloat so did the work of the air spies extend. They photographed U-boats resting on the bed of the Adriatic and Mediterranean; they pictured the oil patches on the seas which betoken the sudden end of a submarine. To dodge successfully the Hun flyers and the ever-present "Archie," the pilots had invariably to fly at fairly high altitudes—rarely at less than 10,000 feet, and always on a zigzag course. The "mosains," as they were called—picture maps placed together some from thousands of pictures taken with a lens pointing vertically toward the ground. A big bridge intelligence officer, having got a complete set of prints, taken an hour before, sat down to deduce. Sherlock Holmes like, a lengthy indictment of the Huns' overtly activities. Signs of an impending attack on a big scale usually could be deduced by the plainly apparent newly made roads for tanks and by the massing of men in large numbers in support trenches and on roads leading from back area billets. One of the most enterprising methods of aerial intelligence was the dropping of spies in the Hun lines and pleasing them up after they had completed their work. In this way much information of vital importance was gained. These secret service agents were mostly Frenchmen who knew the country thoroughly and had a full inside knowledge of the Hun military organization. If there were any signs of activity in any particular sector of the line about which the high command was anxious, one of these agents was detailed to report to headquarters for instructions. Here he was also supplied with the necessary papers, and was then sent by car to a certain aerodrome. Used Special Machine. At this aerodrome was a specially constructed machine. The pilot was usually a well-known Birmingham motor cyclist racer, who specialized in this particular work. He was brilliantly successful at what was undoubtedly a very risky game. His efforts were rewarded by many decorations, and he is still flying. The spy having reported to his pilot, details would be arranged between them, and frequently there was a rehearsal in the form of a flight over the spot where he was to land. Sometimes the work would be undertaken by day, but if the weather was favorable, it was mostly done by night. The spy would get into his basket seat, so constructed that he could easily slip off; the engine would be thoroughly tested, and they would get into the air. They would make straight for the appointed spot, heedless of all searchlights and shells, and would then land. The landing spot was a good-sized field with an even surface. At an appointed time two or three days later, earlier if necessary, the machine would return to the same spot and pick up the man again. Sometimes, if his investigations were of particularly lengthy nature, he would return to our lines by another means. To Reproduce Accident. Stamford, Conn.—Reproduction of an automobile accident in which a car operated by Frank Prezloski ran down Bernard Blum and killed him was ordered by County Coroner Phelan in order that he might better fix the blame for the fatality. END TERROR BY ZEPPELIN RAIDS Explosive Bullets Fired by British Airmen Conquer Hun Airships. HAD OWN WAY FOR WHILE Until Invention of New Weapon German Gas Bags Roamed About Over England at Will, Weather Permitting. London.—Britain conquered the Zeppelins with explosive bullets. Until the invention of this weapon Zeppelins roamed about over England at will, weather permitting. The first air raid upon London was by Zeppelins. This was May 31, 1915, and until the explosive bullet came into defense work the Germans came over in their rigid gas bags as their pleasure dictated. The British had no Zeppelins then for counter-attack and the airplanes they possessed were helpless, because they could not fly high enough quickly enough. On one occasion when Zeppelins were above the city British aviators, as usual, went up to engage them. But the British flyers could only attain 15,000 feet altitude. There they sat, looking up at the monsters far above them, the machine guns of the airplanes being as useless as toy pistols. That is the real reason why Britain built fast, high-climbing airplanes. She had to ondo the Zeppels. She won, soon having airplanes that could reach 20,000 feet or more, above which distance Zeppelins could not work effectively. These high-climbing fighting planes, together with the explosive and incendiary bullets, made England too hot for the airing of a Zepp. Lead Zeppelin Raids. The leader of the Zeppelin raids on London was Commander Peter Strasser, who had unbounded hatred for England. He had an iron nerve and in Germany was regarded as an authority on air raids against England. He met his death on August 4 last year, in the Huns' largest Zeppelin, off the English coast. An explosive bullet ended his journey. To keep out of range of ordinary anti-aircraft fire the Germans enlarged their Zeppelin from 750,000 to about 2,500,000 cubic feet, thus increasing ascent abilities. But this was quickly countered by improved defense methods in Britain. The Zeppelin carried about 4,500 pounds of bombs each. The first time the Zeppelins visited London the people took it as a great joke, flocking to the housetops to see the incendiary bombs that were dropped. Only six persons were killed in the initial raid, although 90 incendiary bombs were heaved overboard. The men in the later type of Zeppelins were provided with parachutes. The captain and navigating personnel were supposed to jump from the forward gondola and the crew, generally about twenty men, from the engine and midship cabins. In the face of disaster, however, there is no record of any member of a Zeppelin crew having saved himself by this means, either because the machine became too quickly enveloped in flames or fell too rapidly for the parachute to open out. The Zeppelins usually set out from Germany in the morning and timed their arrival off the English coast about dusk. The fate of Strasser's ship was sealed because he arrived too early, being spotted above the horizon by a British lookout. Penetrate Heart of England. There evidently was no concerted action among the Zeppelin raiders, each acting more or less independently. They selected, targets upon which they could unload their bombs uninterrupted, if possible, and then flee. They often penetrated into the heart of England. Six Zeppelinls were brought down in England, the first by Lleut. Leece Robison at Cuffley. He was awarded the Victoria Cross. The incendiary machine gun bullets which he used had been issued for the first time only the day before the raid, September 2, 1916. The second Zeppelinls was brought down in flames at Great Bursted. Out of 13 Zeppelinls which raided England October 19, 1917, the Germans lost four. One descended almost intact near Merseyside island, at the northeast corner of Essex. Another was brought down in flames near Potter's Bar, and two other Zeppelinls were forced to land, but the crews destroyed their ships. After Germany saw the futility of sending Zeppelinls against explosive bullets (and Zeppelinls could not be protected against that device) she instituted Gotha raids. But Britain beat her at her own game. Beware of Stocking Bank. Tarentum, Pa.—Grocers who feared thieves and had little faith in their strong boxes were sometimes known to hide their receipts overnight in the beans, but it took a local man to disclose that dry goods merchants sometimes use stockings for the purpose.

C. E. Society at the usual hour. Evening theme: "God's Fireman." Our meeting has closed, but the effect of it will live long in our memories. The wonderful sermons, the helpful lectures, the broad-minded manner in which the meeting was conducted, the valuable service rendered by all who took part will have a telling effect upon our future welfare. Let us praise God with thankful hearts for what he has accomplished for our church. The pastor wishes to thank all who in any way helped to make the meeting a success. CURRY MEETINGS Eaker Street A. M. E. Church has just closed that most remarkable evangelistic campaign held in the history of the church. Our pastor, Rev. Fred Day and officers secured the services of Prof. E. W. B. Curry, the noted evangelist and educator. All forces were organized in the church, Sunday school and Allen League for the campaign. Mrs. Virginia Oldwine had charge of the music with an excellent choir. Miss Mary E. Thomas, president of the Allen League headed the list of personal workers. Miss Mayme Banks, supt. of Sunday school, with her followers, had charge of the decoration. Mr. Wm. Peyton was chief of advertising and register. Mr. Geo. Stewart and J. Rives, assisted by Mrs. Emma Jackson, Mrs. T. Wagner, Mr. P. Sims, looked after the finances. Mrs. D. Wheeler and Mrs. S. Sloan prepared and served lunch each Sunday. Rev. Day conducted the devotionals each night. Prof. Curry is recognized as an able man of many talents. He can do many things and do them well. His plan organizing is the one strong point for conducting a campaign. He delivered during the meetings twenty-five sermons and addresses. These discourses were burning messages from the heart of a man who is God's servant. His apt illustrations, irrestible appeals—delivered with a flow of oratory and eloquence will captivate any audience. He is rich in originality and full of humor and thus able to claim the attention until he can drive home the rich truths found in God's word. At each service Prof. Curry favored with solos, playing his own accompaniment. He can sing his way into the heart and always carried the thought of a higher life. Special meetings were held for women only, men only and young people. He would use various things to illustrate his sermons which have a telling effect. The results of the Curry meetings are a revelation much different from those secured by other evangelists. The register shows the following: Additions 56, distributed through Eaker A. M. E., Zion Baptist, Wesleyan M. E., Church of Christ, Bethel Baptist and C. M. E. While it was not a union revival, yet all of the above churches received members from the work of Prof. Curry. In the special meetings, three families pledged to purchase homes, fifteen persons to take out life insurance, twenty-two persons were converted on the dancing issue and social evils, twenty-five persons pledged to start a savings account. Fifty annual memberships were secured for the Y. W. C. A. on Fifth Street, with nearly 4,000 people attending during the meetings. It is not known the great good accomplished through this campaign. At the meetings for women only and men only the isles were crowded with persons coming to the front in response to the earnest appeals of this God sent man. People are willing to confess their wrongs and take his advice as they believe in his mission. A purse of $150.00 was presented Prof. Curry for his services. It was a free will offering as no charges were made on his part. During the meetings covering three Sundays the collections of the church were far above the average. At the closing, Prof. Curry thanked the pastor and all for the help rendered. His oldest son, Othello Curry, spent the last Sunday here with his father. Dayton will always feel under obligation to Prof. Curry for the excellent services he has rendered as once pastor of Zion Baptist, financial manager of campaigns for Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Eaker St. A. M. E. rallies, and the great revival. We send him away with a welcome to return at any time and the benediction of God upon his great work. THE NORWOOD AVE. CHURCH OF CHRIST. A very large and appreciative audience came out last Sunday morning to hear Doctor Biggs on the subject of "Good Health." Dr. Biggs spoke frankly and freely on the subject and his careful and sane advice if followed will be a blessing to the people beyond estimation. The doctor is a man of extensive preparation and is fully abreast with the advancement of medical science, which, together with his gentlemanly and dignified demeanor, when considered from every point of view, makes him one of the most proficient men of his profession in the city. At the close of the service, a Health Service Committee was appointed to cooperate with other committees or societies of the city working along the same line. The names of the committee are: Elder Hayse Oldham, Elder J. A. Cowan, Elder John Rice, Mrs. Virgine M. Parsons, Mrs. Everline Rice, Mrs. Lizzie Riffe, and Mrs. Angelina Kitchen. The pastor will preach at 11:00 a.m. next Sunday on the subject, "The World in Crucifixion." The Men's League will meet at 3:00 p.m. and the Christian Endeavor at 6:30 p.m. At 8:00 p.m., the pastor's subject will be "The Devil and the Lake." Don't fail to hear him on this subject. The educational department of the church will meet at 9:30 a.m. Elder Hayse Oldham, supervisor, and Elder J. A. Cowan, instructor. All are cordially invited.—J. B. Parsons, Pastor. PROF. CURRY TO GO TO FRANCE Prof. Curry has been given a leave of absence by the Board of Directors of the Curry Institute and selected to go to France to represent the race in subside meetings during the peace conference. A number of educators are being seleted through the United States for such a trip. We all can depend upon the interests of the race being taken care of at the hands of Prof. Curry. The Forum will publish plans of and time for the trip in a coming issue. The expense of the trip is to be financed by friends who are willing to contribute, believing that the money is well invested. Mrs. Jas, E. Rife, 2313 W. Second street, on preparing a basket for the Mary Scott Home Sunday, on going to the cellar, found she had been robbed of almost all the fruit and canned vegetables in the cellar. A few jars left were placed near the front of the shelf and covered over as they were, but all that could be found were two quarts of green beans and a few cucumbers and pickles, 6 quarts of preserves, the contents of which she divided with the home (old ladies). Mr. Rife is a automobile repaired and works for the Maxwell Motor Co. Something over a year ago he was severely injured from cranking a machine and has been a great sufferer ever since. Recently he has been confined to his bed; on slightly recovering he returned to his work and Mrs. Rife did day work from home to aid her husband keep up expenses. When living on Dale Avenue, some one was always stealing coal. LEGAL NOTICE Common Pleas Court, Montgomery County, Ohio, Division of Domestic Relations mestic Relations.

Their daughter, Mrs. Nannie Franklin, of Indianapolis, Ind., was home to spend the day, which was enjoyed very much by her parents.

Mrs. George Ellis received a wireless from her brother, Sergeant Major Clifton Willis, Monday, stating that he was two days off the coast of New York. Later she received a telegram that he had landed and was en route to Camp Upton. The family is very happy to welcome the Sergeant back who has gone through the great war unscathed. THE DISPOSITION OF GERMANY'S COLONIES (From the Christian Recorder) We believe the Christian Recorder was the first periodical of the race to seriously discuss the disposition of the African colonies which Germany possessed prior to the war. We asked for the principle of self-determination to be applied to them, and, if it were found after impartial investigation that they were capable of self-government, let them have it. If they were found not to be capable of self-government, to have them administered either by the United States or an international council, such as the League of Nations should establish. But under no circumstances should they be given back to Germany; nor should they be administered by England, Belgium, or any other of the countries that had shown that they were incapable of justice toward Africa. We are glad to note that the Peace Conference has decided not to give to Germany these colonies. Also that it has recognized the principle of the League of Nations' control of these colonies. We do not thoroughly understand the meaning of the term "mandatory" as it is applied to those who will be responsible for the government of these colonies according to the recent decision of the Peace Conference. But from all the information we can get we are convinced that so far as the welfare of the native African is concerned, the arrangement is a mistake. It is in spirit not far removed from the arrangement of the Council of Berlin when the nations rather frankly partitioned Africa among themselves, which has resulted in the most heartless exploitation, murder, and thievery. Now, in the year of our Lord, 1919, after we have won a war against autocracy, we should at least make clear just what the "mandatories" are, to whom they are responsible. We too greatly fear that since most of the big nations will have some African or Asiatic colonies, the League will let each run his as he chooses, and that these countries will look upon these former German and Turkish colonies as payment for their war losses, and proceed to extort from them all they can. In other words, after careful study from all the information we have at hand, we find no good reason for faith in the man- THERE'D BE FUTURE TROUBLE IN STORE FOR PETE IF HE FORGETS THE PRESENT tory system. On the other hand, it may be that the mandatory compromise, for compromise it was, was the best that could be done under the circumstances. For, after due allowance is made for natural exaggeration of reports, it appears that President Wilson was far in advance of his fellow confrères and the mandatory system, faulty as it may be, is something in advance of what most of the Allies wanted. Still nothing is settled until it is settled right, and the settlement of the African question in this way merely means that world peace is not yet. C. W. B. M.
