HOGUE DIES SUDDENLY The many friends of Mrs. Louella Hogue, wife of W. G. Hogue, were shocked Wednesday to hear of her sudden death about 11:00 a.m. Mrs. Hogue had been complaining for some time, but no one thought the end was so near.

THE DAYTON FORUM WELCOME OUT Bring Numerous Medals Showing Their Bravery and a Great Record of Achievements in Battle. New York City.—Carrying the greatest number of American fighting men yet brought into this port on one ship, the transport, "Leviathan," steamed through the Narrows, last week on Tuesday afternoon, and was safely in her Hoboken pier at 6:00 p.m. The great steamship, once the pride of the German merchant marine, had 9,470 of Uncle Sam's "scrappers" in khaki and blue on board, in addition to 3,241 others, which included the officers and crew. For the most part the officers and men of the 371st and 372d Inf. held the center of the stage Afro-American troops, and a record which might well make other organizations in our own and the allied armies envious. Won Many Decorations. The two regiments were in some of the hardest fighting of the war. Both were decorated with the Croix de Guerre in the time that they were waiting to embark at Brest. In the 371st, aside from the regimental decoration, the returning regiment boasted of 168 men with the Croix de Guerre, thirtyeight with the Distinguished Service Cross, and two with the Cross of the Legion of Honor of France. After arriving in France, the 371st regiment as an independent unit was placed with the 13th French Army Corps. Later they went into the line as part of the 157th French Division under General Goybet. For four months, beginning April 2, these Afro-American fighters, under the DAYTON, OHIO. FRIDAY MARCH 7, 1919 most trying conditions of battle, held Avocourt, Verrieres, and a big sector north of Verdun. Later, when transferred to the Champagne, they captured Cotte, Bussy, Ardeuil, and Mont Sauxelles. They captured forty-seven machine guns, eight trench engines, three pieces of German "77,s," munication depots and large quantities of ammunition. During the advance they dropped three Hun aeroplanes with rifle and machine-gun fire. The story of the 372d Infantry reads very much like that of the 371st. For the most part the two regiments covered the same ground and were engaged in the same actions. After their baptism of fire, both were regularly used as shock troops and bore the brunt of engagements in their sectors. Col. Herchel Tupes commanded the 372d and Col. P. L. Miles, the 371st. "There is not an army officer in the United States who has greater respect or greater feeling for his boys," Col. Tupes said. "The record the boys have made is one that will remain as a monument for all time." The 372d boasts of eighty members who wear the Croix de Guerre, twenty-one who have Distinguished Service Crosses, and one with the Cross of the Legion of Honor. In the Champagne, between September 26 and October 1, this regiment suffered in casualties sixty-one officers and 1200 men. Sergeant Jetty's Exploit. One of the returning men wearing the Croix de Guerre with palms and the Distinguished Service Cross, was Sergeant Dayton Jetty, of the 371st Infantry, who hails from Auburn, N. Y. In the St. Mihiel salient last April, Jetty, accompanied by his "buddy," Leon Thompson, made a dash through the open and captured a German machine gun. They killed the crew and then turned the gun on the Huns who were attempting to recapture the piece, holding three hundred of them until American reinforcements came up. All that Sergeant Jetty would say was: "Once we got the gun, it was a cinch." Eight hundred and ninety of our soldier boys of the 372d Infantry, including what was left of the "Old Fighting Ninth Ohio Battalion," marched triumphantly through downtown streets of Cleveland, last Saturday, cheered by tens of thousands of spectators. The home-coming of these heroes of Verdun, the Argonne, Champagne, and other battlefields of France, was marked by unusual inci dents. When two long troop trains pulled into Union station at 1:30 a.m., hundreds of factory whisles and music from three bands, accompanied by cheers from thousands of relatives and friends of the Cleveland soldiers, welcomed the smiling fighters. They were met at Ashtabula by Maj. J. C. Fulton, formerly in command of the old Ninth Ohio battalion; Capt. W. R. Green, formerly of Co. D of the same, and Lieut. Harry E. Davis, also formerly of Co. D. They were met at Union station by a committee of more than 100 citizens headed by W. R. Conners, secretary of our local Welfare Association; Mayor Harry L. Davis, Fred Thomas, his secretary; Mumson Havens, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce; Harry L. Vail and Capt. H. P. Shupe of the mayor's advisory war board. Headed by Jackson's band and followed by the regimental band, the troops, in command of Lieut. Col. W. O. Cooley (white) started on the long line of march. Throughout it they were enthusiastically cheered. Many Buildings were decorated with flags. Playing the "StarSpangled Banner," "Over There," "Smiles," and other war-time airs, the bands made a war hit with the onlookers. The line of march was as follows: Union station to W. 6th St., to Superior Ave., to the Public Square, Euclid Ave., to E. 40th St., to Central Ave., to E. 23d St., to Prospect Ave., to E. 9th St., to Central Ave., to E. 6th St., to Central armory. It was 2 o'clock before they entered the armory where a dinner was ready for them, under the auspices of the Welfare Association, and prepared by R. W. Miller, caterer. It consisted of smothered chicken, mashed potatoes, butter beans, pickles and celery, Parker House rolls and butter, hot coffee, and large slices of apple pie. Miss Hazel Mountain was chairman of the women's committee representing a number of our associations, and Mrs. Mattie McAdoo, secretary. A score of women representing the Red Cross and the Canteen Club assisted in serving the soldiers. Following the dinner the mayor extended the soldiers the freedom of the city Alex. H. Martin, Esq., permanent chairman of the meeting, praised them. Mr. Connors was temporary chairman. Jackson's band played patriotic airs while the soldiers were eating. A chorus of 160 young women led by Mrs. Rachel Walker Turner sang "America" and other songs Members of "The Smarter Set Co., at the Grand Theater, last week, entertained the soldiers for half an hour.

Sweethearts and wives and mothers of the soldiers hugged and kissed one another. In spite of the din of conversation, laughter, humming of wartime tunes, greetings, and an occasional burst from the band in the balcony, which was crowded with men, women, and children, waving flags, there was a martial atmosphere, for, at the north end of the armory nearly 1,000 army rifles were stacked in regulation form. The stage setting was interesting. The background was decorated with a large regimental flag, presented to the troops by the French just before the soldiers left Breast for New York, February 3. The regimental emblem is one of few of its kind given to American soldiers before they embarked for home. It was emblazoned with the French War Cross. Companies E, F, G, and H, the battalion, included the 890 troopers of the regiment, which left the city about 5:00 p.m. Saturday for Columbus and Camp Sherman, where the men were demobilized. Many of the soldiers wore the Croix de Guerre and Distinguished Service Cross. Orderly George Sanford, of Springfield, headquarters company, told the story of the troops fighting in France: "Our real work overseas began in the Argonne forest last spring," he said. "We held a rather quiet sector in that region for about thirty days, then we were transferred to a sector west of Verdun. Our next move was into a real fighting quarter, known as '304 Hill,' where the German crown prince lost so many men in his efforts to gain ground. We remained in this sector until some time in August ADVERTISERS realize quick results when using these columns to reach the people. Phone Us! Main 7696. EPTIONS Brave Boys Lieut. F. G. Sanford, of Washington, D. C., and some other men were captured here. We remained for two weeks and then got into the hard fight of the famous ten-day Champagne drive, beginning September 26. Troops from the 371st and 372d regiments were in the third wave that swept forward. Following this drive, the Ninth Battalion boys were relieved of trench duty, but we were again called out for duty and were preparing to go over the top the day the armistice was signed. After it was signed, we were sent into the Lorraine sector and remained there until ordered home." Soldiers of Company H are the first Cleveland troops who saw actual fighting service to return home as a unit. Titty arrived in France April 14, 1918. Company F is from Columbus, Company E from Springfield, and Company G from Dayton. The regiment arrived in New York February 10 and was sent to Camp Upton. The men marched with their full equipment, including metal helmets worn in the trenches. The 372d lost considerable of its numbers in the various engagements, particularly at Hill 304 in the Verdun sector in August, when, after driving the Hun forces back the survivors erected a monument on the crest of the hill in honor of its dead. This is the hill that both English and French veteran soldiers tried repeatedly to take but in vain. The French renamed it Hill 372 in honor of the regiment. BIG RECEPTION AT SPRINGFIELD The old 9th Battalion will not soon forget the warm reception given them by the citizens of Springfield Sunday morning, February 23. Friends from all the surrounding towns began to pour into the city and joined the Springfield people in welcoming the brave heroes back to the old Buckeye State. A large delegation from Dayton was there to look after the Gem City boys. The ladies' colored Red Cross unit were on duty early supply the boys with hot coffee and other refreshments. The parade started at nine o'clock, led by the Unity band, which organization was augmented by R. Warren, Chas. Oldham, and N. Nesbit of Dayton. The Red Cross unit, Masons, Pythians, and the Center Y. M. C. A. band followed; then the "Tigers," led by their famous band, took the people off their feet. The procession was through the principal streets of the city, and everywhere the boys received a rousing cheer which lasted until the trains pulled out for Columbus. COLUMBUS WELCOMES HEROES When 890 colored troops of the 372d Infantry, of which the "Fighting Old 9th Battalion" was a part, poured into Columbus Sunday, the city proudly honored the first overseas unit to march through the capital's streets as a body. Columbus gave the heroes of Verdun, the Argonne and the Champagne front, many of them boys from Columbus, Cleveland, Springfield, and Dayton, a deserved ovation. Thousands lined the streets to greet them. Wear Steel Helmets Stalwart, erect, with expressions of supreme satisfaction and happiness lighting up their dark faces, the men marched through the cheering Columbus crowds with the same firm step that carried them to the front in AR THE Secretary" BANKS THE N.

On the arms of some hung their mothers, on others their wives and sweetcarts, but the steps of the marchers did not falter or lag because of the joy being emptied on them. The long line of evenly moving steel helmets appeared as one great wave of energy and ability, reminding Columbus how these lads had fought with such determination against the Huns. "They ain't no No-Man's Land now," shouted one of the smallest of the old Ninth. "We've forgot it!" To the melody of the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Smiles" the khaki clad men trumped the streets of their home city again. Many called out words of welcome that made the eyes of the marching men shine with happiness. Some of them answered the outbursts with expressions equally as happy as they kept faithfully in step to the strains of martial music—and they certainly could keep in step. The real excitement of the day occurred at Union Station, where the men marched following the parade to board their train for Camp Sherman. Regardless of danger, their friends and relatives went into the yards to godsend the boys. Hundreds crowded around the train windows as the soldiers climbed into their coaches. Joy reached the sky when women of the Red Cross canteen service appeared with gallons of hot coffee, apparently thousands of sandwiches barrels of apples, almost a dozen big boxes of doughnuts, candy, cigarets, and popcorn. Women Take Food on Trucks Because the men were not permitted to leave the train to go to the canteen on North High Street, the women packed the food in trucks and carried it themselves to the troop trains on a moment's notice. These women already had served more than 600 gassed soldiers passing through the city yesterday. Wounded men who happened to be in the canteen hostess house, rose to the occasion and went to the trains with baskets of cigarettes and candy for their returning soldiers. Says Ohio Proud of 'Em Mayor Karb welcomed the men to Columbus on behalf of the city. He said Ohio was proud to call them her own, and referred particularly to the fact that the regiment played one of the greatest parts in the fight for democracy. Representing the colored citizens of Columbus, Wilbur E. King addressed the crowds with words of welcome and cheer. Tears were near the surface, even if smiles predominated, as he recounted the fears and sorrows that have filled the minds and hearts of the many whose sons joined the ranks. "We are so glad to see you among us again. It is almost impossible to give adequate expression of our joy," he said. "We have just closed a chapter in which you have written a starting page in the annals of your race," Mr. King continued, "and your conduct has taught America that courage and valor cannot be justly tested by the color of the skin." Cues Their Bravery. Former Governor Campbell closed the ceremonies with a few words of appreciation for the splendid fighting the colored troops had done, as well as their evident morale. He called attention to the bravery of colored men during the civil war. "The expression, 'the colored troops fought bravely,'" he explained, "originated during those early, heart-rending days and you all know how many times we have had occasion to use them since. No matter where you are sent to protect your country, the world knows you will do it the same as you have done in the present war." Tuskegee, Ala., March 1. Advertisers generally will be interested in a lecture course on the economic value of advertising which is being given to the advanced classes in home economics at the Tuskegee Institute. The lectures were started some weeks ago and arrangements are being made with a selected group of national advertisers to supply illustrations and other material to correlate with the subject matter. "The largest part of the money for household goods and food is spent by women," says Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, "and there are many angles of merchandising and advertising which if known to the woman in front of the counter as well as the man behind the counter will help both to greater economy in their daily transaction of buying and selling." Mrs. A. D. Zuber is in charge of the advanced work in home economies, and the special lectures on advertising-appreciation are being given by Albon L.

ZION BAPTIST NOTES Two questions are beginning to face Zion persistently now; one is how to accommodate its increasing crowds, and the other how best to meet the awakening need of spiritual improvement. It is noticeable, too, that men in large numbers are presenting themselves at all our services. The men's Bible class at Sunday school is growing steadily, and bids fair to cope with the women in numbers and interest. They compose a very large proportion of our Sunday morning congregation, and turn out largely at night services. They come and go without company and take an interested part in the services. They sing lustily and join in heartily or follow attentively the responsive Scripture reading. Our new song books with plenty for all, and our new Bibles, have already proven to be a good investment. The pastor, Rev. T. J. Smith, preached an able doctrinal sermon at the Sunday morning service, at the close of which baptism was administered to a number of candidates. Rev. Arnold preached at the evening service from the text, "God said, Let there be light, and there was light." You must not miss the treat of hearing Blind Boone, the pianist, Monday night, who comes to our church under the auspices of the B. Y. P. U. The "Pleasant Sunday Afternoon" arranged by the Sunday school for the third Sunday of this month, March 10, at 8:00 p.m., promises to even surpass in excellence that of last month. It is something new, something different; but it is crowded with matter of interest from the start to the finish of the one hour that it lasts. Get your heart and your voice in tune and join us in this one. Last Wednesday evening's prayermeeting service was well attended, and proved to be the best prayer service at Zion for many a day. The Holy Spirit was with us and all present were mafde to rejoice. We shall expect you at all services next Sunday, beginning with the Sunday school at 9:20. And to our deturned soldier heroes: Zion especially welcomes you. We are proud of you. We know you. You will please us by coming into our service. It is our wish and desire to serve you in every possible good capacity. FOR RENT — Two unfurnished rooms for man and wife. Call at 250 Homestead avenue after 8 p. m. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors who so nobly assisted us in our sad bereavement of our dear husband, father, and brother, Mr George W. Bass. We also wish to thank the Jones Brothers for their services, Rev. Burton for his consoling words and friends for their beautiful floral tributes. MRS. EMMA BASS, MASTER CARL BASS, MRS. GENEVA SHOECRAFT EAKER ST. NOTES A Home-coming Reception will be tendered all the boys who have been in service and are now returning to take up their regular pursuits again.
