W. Thompson (Special to the FORUM) Washington, D. C., June 7.—Under ideal skies and amid stately elms on the broad campus, the fiftieth annual commencement of Howard University was held Wednesday afternoon, with the largest attendance known in many year. President J. Stanley Durkee making his first appearance on an occasion of this kind, was greeted with prolonged applause when he arose to begin the impressive ceremonies. The procession, including the graduating classes, the faculty and the alumni of the university, was a glint of bright colors in the sunlight as it wended its way across the green sward from Carnegie library to the a fresco auditorium near Clark Hall. The scene was picturesque and imposing. Secretary Lane and Bishop Harding Give Wise Counsel The orator of the day was the Hon Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, the branch of the Government having control of the university. In his able address, Secretary Lane emphasized the futility of force and unlawful acts in the solution of great social and economic questions, and counselled his hearers to appeal to the power of time and right systems of education to bring permanent peace among peoples and nations. The present unrest throughout the land he attributed to the too prevalent desire of groups of individuals to get something without work.

The Secretary laid stress upon the value of godd citizenship, of the necessity for practical training to meet the responsibilities of life, and gave as a pertinent example of the failure of false standards in the striving for power the downfall of the autocratic German Empire. The Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, bishop of Washington, was introduced by Dr. Durkee, and spoke along the lines laid down by Secretary Lane. He declared service to humanity to be the royal road to progress and happiness. He paid a glowing tribute to the valor, skill, and loyalty displayed by the colored soldiers who aided in the recent insisted that the Stars and Stripes war for liberty and democracy, and should wave for all Americans alike, from ocean to ocean. He was proud if the record made by the millions of Negroes since emancipation, and lauded Howard University as one of the uplifting agencies that would continue to, leave the lump of intellectual and moral darkness that make the hardships and inequalities with which the hardships and economic leaders of the age have to deal. Both Secretary Lane and Bishop Harding were liberally applauded. Music was furnished by a section of the regimental band of the 363th Infantry, and patriotic airs were played at intervals throughout the program, including "The Star-Spangled Banner,' which brought the immense throng to its feet in spontaneous enthusiasm. Rev. Walter H. Brooks delivered the invocation and Rev. A. C. Garner pronounced the benediction. President Durkee Confers Degrees President Durkee, by authority vested in him by the university, con- ferred degrees upon one hundred and twelve graduates, constituting the class of 1919.

A touching incident in connection with this part of the program was the award of the degree of B.S. to John Ephriam Williams, who passed away just a few days prior to his graduation, but had fully won his honors. The entire class stood uncovered as President Durkee solemnly conferred the post-mortem distinction upon their departed fellow student. Four young men were given special mention and honor because of their military service, and financial consideration will be given them by the university that they may later gain the degree they desire. This class was presented for honors by Dean Kelly Miller.

Sunday services as follows: Sunday school, 9:30 a.m.; preaching, 10:45 a.m.; B. Y. P. U., 6:30 p.m.; preaching, 7:45 p.m. One of the grandest sermons ever delivered by Dr. Anderson was heard Sunday, June 8. On his broad discussion on "Man's Duty to Man," he pied for a closer walk with God and a more united effort on the part of the members of the race. He proved the value of knowledge, the power of faith, and the need of brotherhood. These are some of the rounds that must be put in the Negros' ladder if we ever hope to attain the utmost heights. We only hope that Dr. Anderson will deliver more such sermons. All arrangements for the grand rally of June 22 have been completed. The entire day will be spent in programs, addresses, and reports of various boards. All pastors of the city are cordially invited to be present on the afternoon of June 22. All of Bethel is alive and from all indications she will go "over the top." A standing invitation is always extended to all friends and visitors to attend all services at Bethel—a place where the friendless are befriended and the homeless made to feel at home—Harry Iwnslow, astst reporter. REV. DAY EXONERATED Misunderstanding Between The Trustees of Home Amicably Adjusted out of Court THE MARY SCOTT MOTHERS AND WIDOWS HOME CASE SETTLED An entry dismissing the petition against Rev. F. D. Day and others, in the Mary Scott Home case, was filed in common pleas court on Wednesday afternoon. Satisfactory agreements and explanations were reached out of court and all parties concerned are rejoicing at the happy ending. All trustees will remain faithful to the interests of the Home, and are a unit in declaring that a spirited campaign must be carried out to perpetuate the work so well begun by Mother Scott. No question concerning the motives of any one need be inudled further, and the petitioners are a unit in declaring that Rev. F. D. Day and others have completely exonerated themselves, and stand in the estimation of THE NEGRO IN THE WAR It seems to me but yesterday I could hear the cannon crack; Today I hear the melodies Of boys that's coming back. With faces now turned homeward, From far across the sea, Where they helped to solve the problem That saved democracy. They called them to the colors; They answered to the call. Learn to be a soldier, Was no trick at all. They learned to fight so quickly, They stood the mighty test; When they there had landed, The Germans could not rest. The Germans saw the Stars and Stripes Of red, white, and blue; That put them all uneasy, For what they had to do. They felt that God was with them In every law and plan. Until they faced the Negro, Then they could not stand. The Germans thought they had the thing That they so long for prayed; They marched right down through Belgium, And not a stop was made. And started up the hill to Paris, And almost reached the top, When Uncle Samuel called them And ordered them to stop. Then he called for volunteers; The darky wanted to go; Said Uncle Sam, "We'll tend to them And you won't have to go." Before this war was done with, The way looked dark as night; When they armed the Negro, Then they won the fight. The Negro fought because he felt it right, And that is true. They placed him in the firing line. He knew just what to do. Nothing but death would conquer them. Or even make them stop. Some fell by the wayside, And some went over the top. By G. S. Smith, Paducah. The author of this poem is the brother of Rev. T. J. Smith, pastor of Zion Baptist church. COMMUNITY HOUSE NOTES Sunday at 4 p.m., June 15, Y. M. C. A. lawn services.

Sumlin to the favor of the public and has joined hearts and hands with them in bringing to pass the great purposes which shall make for the betterment of the race. In the future the books of the home will be always open to public inspection. All board meetings may be attended by the public as well, and no one needs be at sea as regards the exact status of affairs, financial or otherwise. Every one must boost from now on. Cleveland, Columbus, Springfield, Cincinnati, and a host of other cities have been successful along this line, and Dayton shall not lag. All donations may be sent to H. P.

All children are invited to prepare a little lunch and attend. Oh, kids, we are having barrels of fun! Oh, boy! The work at the Community center is progressing fine as far as activities are concerned, and the attendance is excellent. Ever since I have been in Dayton I have been connected with the work and I can see it growing rapidly. Now that I have a permanent appointment in Dayton at the Linden Community Center. I am quite anxious that we make a record. The success of the work depends largely on what the people make it. I can suggest and devise plans, but unless the good people in Dayton, with the good people in this community, cooperate, we cannot accomplish the things that we desire. If the parents of the Community Center were as enthusiastic as the children of the community, Linden Center would be one of the most beautiful as well as one of the dearest spots in Dayton to you. I wish we could all see it now. You are going to see it in the near future, but if you could only see it now how much sooner the community would be beautified, and how much more independent would we feel. One of the most difficult lessons that we must learn is the lesson of "race pride." It is high time that we stop worrying over that big word, segregation. We have wasted too much time trying to master that "jaw-breaker." We should have enough race pride about us to feel too good to go where we are not wanted. The thing that we must do since we are living in certain sections of the city is to beautify our surroundings. Why is it that Negroes like to live in white districts? It is surely not for society's sake. Why is it that they crave to go to a theater, hotel, or a restaurant where they are not wanted? The reason is because the places are beautiful and every one admires the beautiful. Now, what we must do is to have enough pride about us to not only desire the beautiful things but to have them. The only way to command the respect of the other races is to respect ourselves. Now we must make plans at once for the improvement of our community house and playground. Our needs are very great; our house in the near future must be improved by a new one, but first to be taken into consideration is the improvement of the grounds. The ground must be graded as soon as possible and fenced in either by hedging or low cement wall the baseball diamonds arranged in good style, wading pool for the kid dies, and drinking fountain. And after we shall have accomplished that we will be ready to begin our field house.—Pearl Greene, Supervisor. ASK Ask the man with the Big Hat. He knows. Hills and Dales, June 27. Miss MARY G.

Oe Ul AMERICAN WOODMAN NOTES We are now about to enter into the most important part, that is, our membership campaign. It is the desire of the entire camp to increase the number 100 per cent. We are all confident that we will do it. The commander has set aside all business until after the campaign. All forces, all eyes, are now turned to the campaign. Over the top we must go. It is at all times best to take two steps forward than three backwards. Let us stop and consider the age in which we are living. Success is the goal. Profit by mistakes that have been made and pass to higher and nobler things. All captains are urged to report to the commander weekly as to what they are doing. Let us pull together, for a house divided within its own self cannot stand. United efforts can and will bring success. The officers of the camp are desirous of seeing every member present in camp.—A. P. L. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday is wind-up day on our rally. Members and frends who have not yet given their rally offering will have this opportunity to do so, and get credit for having helped Zion clear of debt and also get your name on the honor roll. The ordinance of baptism will be administered immediately at the close of the Sunday morning service. Candidates are expected to be present early and fully prepared. The officers of the church have districted the city by wards in order to facilitate the completion of the membership registration. The name, address, and the department of the church he or she prefers to work in, is to be gotten of every member of Zion, and ready response and all possible assistance is asked of each. We hope to be able to announce plans and program for the mortgage bouncing at the close of our Sunday night service. If you are interested, be on hand and get the information first hand. Plans for Sunday school membership campaign will be announced at Sunday school. The whole school was pleased, and what is still better, were visibly stirred by the fine reports of the two young people delegates last Sunday. The reports of the others will be heard this Sunday. The organized classes of the school are beginning to be more active. We hope the movement will be steady and continued. Watch their step and fall in line with them.

King and sister, Mrs. Beatrice Willis, accompanied by Herbert King Willis, Jr., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Anderson and children, also Mr. Lawrence Watkins, on a motor trip Sunday to Springfield, Ohio, stopping over in Xenia and Yellow Springs. While in Springfield, they had the honor of visiting Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, Mr. and Mrs. Watts, and Mrs. Wilson, of Cleveland, who is spending a few weeks in Springfield. The evening was spent with much enjoyment. All returned home happily. Mrs. John King spent Sunday in Hamilton, Ohio, visiting many friends and reports an enjoyable trip. Miss Elizabeth Hawkins, of London, Ohio, who has been sick for the past four months, is rapidly improving. Mr. Happy Windbush, the "human trombush" and a great friend of A. L. King, while showing in Xenia last week made a rushing visit to see his old pal. Mr. Winbush has a show of real merit and is making good this week. They are playing New Castle Indiana. He sends regards to all. A. L. King made a flying trip to Xenia Saturday afternoon to visit his old pal, Mr. Windbush, and bid him farewell on his western trip. They expected A. L. to travel with them, but as he has stated he has enough of traveling, he wouldn't go, but when he returned there were no smiles. It looked very much like he is getting the fever again. Once before the lights, it is hard to stay away.—A. L. R. Mrs. Rachel McCullough, 321 Sprague st., entertained the Needle- craft Social club last Thursday even- ing. A dainty luncheon was served.

MARCOS DEFEATED THE "GYM" (By Old Sport) Before one of the largest crowds this season, the Marcos defeated the last Dayton Gyms, composed of all tar athletes in football, basketball and baseball, at the Westwood ball park last Sunday, 6 to 1. The famous Gyms are known to be the strongest white teams in Ohio which has defeated the National League teams in exhibition games but Stringbean Williams was in excellent form, delivered the pill at will and handled the (white) Gyms at his mercy. It has been known that Boston, American League, had a million-dollar in-field; well, the Marcos are "gitin'" there. Hill and Dewitt are real opposite corner sentinels, with slow but sure fielders or patrollers are Taylor and Cunning who really knows their "stuff" in handling the ball; and here was Eggleston, "big boy," the catcher, who is "nothin'" different but heavy artillery, who can get range and peg direct at any point, checking all base-stalers. With Dock, Brown, and Alexander in outfield, no balls pass to harm or hinder the progress and support of the light artilleries on the in-field.

GEORGE TAYLOR Graduate of Poro College Scalp Treatment and Shampooing a Specialty 29 Weller St. Phone 1951 Dear Sir:—During the Mexican trouble, a certain officer, while making strenuous efforts, did remarkably well to secure-one or two volunteer recruits each night, having as a speaker on two of these occasions a colored veteran who, during his remarks, asked that a recruiting station be opened up for the colored, and we would show some real business in the line of volunteer recruiting. Later on, the truth was made known, a petition was circulated to have the 9th Bat. O. N. G. (4 companies) made into a regiment (12 companies) in order to accommodate a small part of the "willing to go-ers" of color, regardless of the fact that about 2,975 lynchings had occurred since 1884. The officer above referred to went to France and returned. It is understood that at a banquet not long ago, given at a certain place not a mile from the Soldiers' Monument, that was erected in the memory of the fallen heroes of the Civil War, for the black as well as the white, made a statement in his speech that "the white soldiers in France fought well," "that the Negro soldiers were made to fight," thus carrying the assumption that the down-trodden Negro soldiers fought under a compelling power from behind. This officer had no sooner made this astounding and bellittling remark, than a guest promptly asked this officer where he had been stationed in France. In replying he stated that he was an officer in a certain department. He was also asked, "How did he know so much about the fighting when he was not on the firing line or near the trenches? With this we are the most loyal race that lives on top of God's green earth, in the face of disfranchisement, discrimination, segregation, malice, and prejudice paramount on every turn. There is also the proposition to disfranchise the women of their suffrage, even in the face of the trying times when they have come nobly "orward, left their homes, children, and loved ones, to do the lowest kind of factory work, clean the "lavatories," which was about as high as they could get in majority of cases. Not even the kind solicitations of the truest workers among the white ladies who did all they could to bring pressure to bear to put our girls in the factories running machines, etc., but the effort was like mixing milk and vinegar—curdle, excuses. This remark I referred to was pure rot, rot, much so in the face of the citations galore, even whole battalions receiving medals for valor. Then again there is a nice little bunch of the colored boys from Dayton that evening pocket choir b The Q will b PETE, PETE, COME HERE THIS MINUTE!! A man is peeking out of a window behind a curtain. ATTENTION Editor the FORUM. have their medal on their breast, yet that same medal is discriminated against by any dirty violator of the fundamental laws of the land. Even now that the armistice has been signed, lynching is still going on, burning at the stake, and brutes take parts of the body and clothing as loving memories of their brutish orgies. Yet we are and will be loyal as this is our country, our home. God prevails and justice will be done even unto the farthermost end of the earth. I remember when a certain religious order forty years ago were arrested nearly every night and brought into police court and given heavy fines; they were harassed, stoned, were not allowed to go into business places, but alas 'tis different now, the sun is shining on both sides of the street and the world is at their bidding, with gladness and fullness of heart.

The following SPECIAL TO THE FORUM PROGRAM AT BETHEL PETE APOLOGIZES FOR THE MISTAKE Soul— Violin Duet—Mr. Hague and Miss L. Peters. Father J. N. Samuels-Belboder, Vicar Whitsunday, or day of Pentecost, was observed with solemn celebration of the holy communion last Sunday at 7 and 11 o'clock. The vicar explained the significance of the feast day, its importance to Christian people, and the obligation it calls forth from the hearts of the faithful. "We of the church celebrate today the anniversary of the day when the promise of Jesus Christ that He would send to His disciples the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, who would lead them into all truth, was literally and spiritually fulfilled. This all may read in the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. It was the day when ended completely the work and office of Jesus Christ. It was the day when the full realization of the matchless power of the teaching of the Savior was felt, was seen, was proved, was complete. It was the culmination of a life and activity super-eminent in the annals and chronicles of the world. It was the end of the work of redemption by the lowly Nazarene of Callee." The vicar, after explaining the miraculous phenomenon, the cloven tongues, took up the question of the church's customs in the early centuries on this particular day. "It was," he said, "generally the day for the baptism of candidates into the communion of the church. These candidates were dressed in white robes, and in solemn procession marched to the font to the strains of heavenly music chanted by priests and singers. It was largely because of these white-robed penitents, ready to receive the influence of the Holy Ghost by baptism, and the almost universal custom, that this day was called White Sunday, which later was shortened to Whit-Sunday. This day carries with it for us a double memory, both partaking of and derived from the identical divine source—the power of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit over the hearts of sinful but repentant men. It was this act or manifestation, too, which secured for them the earnest of immortality. Whitsunday then brings to us the consideration of a pure heart reinforced and influenced by the Spirit of God which, if we fully accept and abide in, assures us immortality in joy divine." The vicar developed this theme, and appealed to his hearers to open their hearts to the influence of the pentecostal power. The current event and round table discussion last Tuesday evening was very interesting. The method adopted by the director was unique, in that it was largely individualistic and brought out as many interesting and different phases as there were persons present. Once the meeting began, the participants forgot the weather, and when they left every one was enlighthened a little more than when they came. St. Cecilia to the fore once more in things worth while! Some subjects taken up were: Boy Scouts; the Prince of Wales; Bolshevism on trial; bombing outrages; Russian insolvency; the Mexican immigrolio; the city parks and the colored citizens. Next Tuesday evening at 8:30, the third session will take place. You, dear reader, are cordially invited—men as well as women. The Sunday school continues progressive. Another new item was introduced last Sunday, to the great interest of the youngsters. The date for the picnic will soon be announced by the Men's Club. Our friends are asked to be on the lookout.
