Season Ticket, 50c BITS OF INTEREST By 1st Sergt. James Jones Co. "G" 392 Inf., Red Hand Div. Many of our friends have been anxious to know why Capt. Robt. H. Mallory did not return home with his company as he marched away at the head of them in 1917, in order to relieve them of their anxiety to know why he did not. You remember what happened to Col. Charles Young, who climbed up the ladder of promotion after many years of soldiering, he won his promotion through proving to his superiors that a black man was capable of being in any office held by the whites, and after reaching the grade of colonel then came the end of his career by the declaration of war on Germany, which called for an increase of troops which meant promotion for all officers of all grades. Lt. Col. Young was one of the senior officers of his grade which brought him in line for the said promotion, but by the unjust administration of our government a syndicate was formed and decided to have Col. Young examined by a board and a physician pronounced him as unfit for active service, which meant he was to be retired with a rank of colonel, after which several of the white Lt. Cols. were promoted to grades of briggadier general and major generals. Dear readers, the same thing applies to the case of Capt. Mallory, who won a wide reputation in the campaign of the world war, while in France Capt. Robt. H. Mallory was the only black officer of the 372nd Inf., who commanded a battalion in the trenches, and the only black captain entering the final drive of the war at the head of his company with the 372 inf. He was well liked by all the regiment and the only officer that was not openly sent away from his command by Col. Tupes, who had no use for a black officer, and many times remarked that "no black skunk could run his regiment." But to Capt. Mallory his attitude was different on several occasions he called upon Capt. Mallory to form his plant of defences of the most desperate positions in the trenches and sectors of Hill 304 and the Arrgonne forest, and they proved always successful and much credit given to Capt. Mallory for his knowledge of trench warfare which was due to the fact that he had worked and studied hard to make his way up the ladder of promotion and by all means should have been Colonel Mallory instead of Capt. Mallory. Upon recommendation of the high French command that Capt. Mallory be promoted to the grade of major, the following answer was sent to Capt. Mallory: "Under the Democratic Administration, the A. E. F. does not provide for colored field officers." Therefore, Capt. Mallory was not promoted to the field, but instead he remained a captain and remained at the head of Co. "G". At the beginning of the Champagne Drive, most all colored officers had been let out of the regim ent by means of unjust and unfair results of the Boards, which were formed by white officers selected by --- THE DAYTON FORUM Musical Playlet Club Presents of Entertainments Miss Florence P. Mitchell, a Day and Miss L. Carrey, Farrow, Sponsor. zes ffered to the winner of the must be a representative of ches of the city, who are to the individual who sells kickets over fifteen dollars. in, call Mrs. Sarah Wells, --- the colonel for the purpose if ridding the regiment of colored officers. But the board never could find any fault of Capt. Mallory because of his skilled military knowledge. So on the date of our order to advance to the designated sector Capt. Mallory commanded Co. "G" into the drive, which proved to be one of the worst in the history of the war. How proud was Co. "G" to know they were being conducted into battle by one who had been their able leader for a number of years and one who was never known to fail to carry out his orders from his superiors and was never known to show a streak of yellow or signs of cowardice, which is more than the white ones can say. He was capable of leading a regiment through any war and come out successful. And had Capt. Mallory commanded our battalion from Oct. 1 to Oct. 9th, many of our boys would have returned home with us who did not. But due to the fact of unsufficient leadership, our men were wiped out like weeds in a garden. The 2nd Bn., 372 Inf., entered the Champagne sector to relieve the 2nd Bn. of the 391 on the morning of October 1 at 5:15 and at broad daylight, which caused our men to be mowed down like wheat by German machine guns. This was due to the terrible mistake of Capt. Robinson (white) who was in command of the 2nd Bn., 372 Inf., and by order of seniority Capt. Mallory should have been in command, but the colonel was determined that no black officer should have too much to say, and as there were junior white officers to Capt. Mallory, he was not put in command on that account. I was chief observer of the 372nd Regt. at that time and was with the Bn. Headquarters. Being on duty with the Bn. commander, which enabled the Bn. to hear and see lots of unpleasant happenings of our regiment and was in position to know how the terrible mistake was made by the 2nd Bn. commander. On the night of Sept. 30, at 10:30, an order was received by Capt. Robinson to advance to the position covering the city of Monthors, which was in possession of the enemy, and to relieve the 2nd Bn. of the 372 Inf., colored. The relief was to be made under cover of darkness at 12:00 o'clock, prompt. Sept. 30. At 12 o'clock Capt. Robinson gave orders to move out. Co. "G" being in the lead as Capt. Mallory was the senior capt., we were guided by a French officer who was detailed to our regiment as an interpreter. The Bn. commander became confused in his map and disagreed with the French officer as to what route they would take to reach the position in time to make the relief and the result was that daylight caught us in an open field on a railroad leading to Monthois. Fortunately Co. "G" was in the lead and had began to take up their position before many casualties were registered by the enemy fire. We did not have time to do anything right. All that could be done was to make the best of it by running and falling into shell holes which had been made from the awful man sized shells which meant death wherever they fell. We were under observation of the enemy from all views and were constantly shelled by them. --- DAYTON, OHIO, FRIDAY JULY 11, 1919 The night of Oct. 2nd ended the long career of Capt. Mallory with Co. "G". It was on this night that he went back to the Bn. commander and begged him to let him take the Bn. back under cover of darkness and organize it and then advance upon our objective and be relieved by other troops. But instead of granting him the request he refused and ordered Capt. Mallory back to his post, which the captain obeyed, only to be wounded and gassed near the same spot where Pvt. Anderson Lee was killed. Capt. Mallory was evacuated to the hospital and after recovery was transferred to a labor unit somewhere in France, never again getting with Co. "C." P. S.—To the readers of the Forum: For the information of those who are anxious to know of the treatment of the black soldiers in the world war, I will publish each week the experiences of Co. "G" in a series entitled "My Experiences in the World War." RED HAND CLUB NOTES We, the members of the Red Hand Club, formerly Co.

The Red Hand Club, formerly Co. "C," 9th Ohio Battalion, urge that all honorably discharged soldiers, whether or not you have had overseas service, to attend the meeting every Monday night in Enterprise Hall, W. Third street, at 8 p. m. LINDEN COMMUNITY CENTER NEEDS HELP The young people of Linden Community Center have launched a two weeks' campaign for the small amount of two hundred dollars. The campaign begins July the 13th and ends July 27th. They are going to with the help of the good people in the city finish paying for their piano and buy some articles for the house They have gotten out two hundred tickets, each of these tickets are marked in ten sections and each of the sections will sell for ten cents each.

CHURCH NOTES The Spirit of the Lord came in copious showers and most wonderfully manifested Himself to us Sunday morning. It reminded one of an old-time camp meeting. The pastor, Rev. H. E. Harris, is attending Centenary meeting at Columbus, Ohio, this week. Mr. Vincent Cherry, one of the strong C. M. E. members, of Augusta, Ga., but now located in Chicago, Ill., is visiting our city. He is quite an attractive young man and full of sunshine. Rev. J. D. Smith preached an excellent sermon Sunday evening. Prayer and praise service every Wednesday evening. The choir rendered excellent music Sunday. Mrs. Hettie Dudley and Miss Flossie Ficklin left this week for a short visit at Salt Lick, Ky. The rally is on; let every member get busy. SEC'Y MRS. HIGGINS VISITS HOME After spending three months in Y. M. C. A. work at Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va. Secretary Mrs. C. D. Higgins arrived home Tuesday evening, June 17th, to visit her family and attend the commencement of her fourth daughter to graduate from S. M. T. H. S. Mrs. Higgins spent a delightful evening Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. P. Dugger. Sunday the whole family were at home to spend the day. After the family dinner a picture of the four generations was taken by Mr. Joseph Burnett, including Mrs. Mary L. Taylor, Mrs. C. D. Higgins, Mrs. E. E. Johnson and little Ernestine Rebecca Johnson. Sunday evening Mrs. Higgins gave a very interesting address at the Weseyan Methodist Church on her work in the "camp" and the "reconstruction." The remainder of the evening was spent at home of her daughter Mrs. E. E. Johnson, which was very pleasant. With all of her family present before they adjourned they had prayers and Mrs. Higgins invoked the blessings of the Almighty on them all, as they had been so faithful to duty in the absence of their parents. All present felt that is was good to be there. Mrs. Higgins left for Camp Stuart Monday evening, in company with her son, who will study music there On account of the shortness of the visit Mrs. Higgins could not call or many friends, but the family greatly appreciated those who called at the home. GRATITUDE I take this opportunity to thank my many friends for their hearty appreciation of my achievement of graduating from Stivers Manual Training High School, Class 1919. I received many beautiful and useful presents and appreciate them all both large and small. Many thanks to THREE—FORUM the men of the Damico Club of the Malleable Iron Works for the beautiful little wrist watch, which was so beautifully presented at their reception last Tuesday evening by Miss Lillian Miller. I feel that the service I have tried to render there in a musical way from time to time has been appreciated three fold. The number of gifts received was over fifty. All of my blessings have stimulated within me a deeper desire of service to the community; as it is not the gift, but the spirit in which it is given, that counts. EUNICE EUGENIA HIGGINS. NARCISS JOHNSON CHICKEN SUPPER On Saturday, July 19, a chicker supper and all that go with it will be given at the apartments of Mrs Narciss Johnson, 133 So. Jefferson street.

M. Myerz, Secretary. THE CHURCH Wesleyan Church our of Debt Last Sunday the members of Wesleyan raised $1371.00. The complete report will be made this Sunday MISS LULU BILLMAN ADDRESSES HOME BUREAU CLASS Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 p. m., July 2, Miss Billman spoke to the ladies of the Home Bureau Class on her visit to North Carolina and the meeting of the National Conference of the American Association of the Home Demonstrators. The place of meeting was in a town located in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Miss Billman, in her description, said that the scene was one of the most picturesque and the climate ideal. She told the marvelous work that the Home Demonstrators were doing in the South and the colored people as well as the whites were intensely interested in the movement. Some of the states have as many as twenty colored workers. The workers coming into the various districts work out the problems of anitation and care of infants. This work is very essential in the South where the population of the colored people is the greatest. It has been discovered that the death rate of the colored people is too low. Some authorities have said that the death rate is greater than the birth rate. If that is true or if we have the slightest idea that it is half-way true it makes it all the more necessary that such workers are needed to carry on this Home Demonstration work. The Home Demonstrators in the South see that all the people in the rural district, that can afford it, buy a cow, as milk is the most important food for children. In the South they have discovered that about every four families in the country has a cow. The workers started a "buy your own cow" campaign. Through the canning clubs, women and girls raise and can vegetables and sell them and with the money obtained by this process they buy cows for the poor families that have babies and can afford to buy a cow. There is a great demand for the canned goods put up by this organization. On each can you find the label H. H. H. H., which means hand, heart, and health They also teach the women the art of beautifying their homes and how to conserve time and labor. The home demonstrators are working on obtaining water so that the wife need not carry it so far. It seems as if the people in the South have not felt the necessity of having water into the home. They carry it a great distance sometimes, and we all know if you have to carry water you won't use as much as you would if you did not have to carry it. It has been discovered by the investigators that the people do not use as much water as they should,—not only that, but it is shortening the poor housewife's days as that seems to be her work. These workers are trying their best to see that each home is supplied with water. They have also started a fly campaign and trying to persuade the people to screen their houses and guard against the dangerous fly. This work was started in the South nine years ago. The supervisors are white women, southern born. Some of them are almost playing the role of missionary among the mountain whites and lower class of colored people. They go into many places where they have to ride inbo xcars and sometime even walk to get to the people. Yet their love is so great for the betterment of people that they go. ADVERTISERS realize quick results when using these columns to reach the people. Phone Us! Main 7696. urch our of Debt members of Wesleyan raised the complete report will The same kind of work has only been carried on two years in the North. It is new to all races here, but it is hoped that the good people of Dayton will grasp the opportunity that will be offered them by the Home Demonstrators of Ohio State University which now has an extension at Linden Community Center. We hope that no one will be misled by learning of the work of the South and think that the work taught at Linden Center is too elementary, because you will find that is not the case. All the ladies belonging to the Home Bureau at Linden Center are very able women, most of them graduates of high schools and some of colleges, yet at each lesson they learn and are always delighted with the class meetings.

CHURCH NOTES We were favored with a rare treat on last Sunday. Three well attended services. Rev. H. H. Uptiegrove preached at 11 o'clock a. m., and one of the strongest and ablest gospel preachers we have in our A. M. E. conference, in the name of Dr. Thomas H. Jackson preached at 3 o'clock and 7:30 p. m., and he really did honor to the place he occupied. We all could say it is good to be here. Our rally was not all we desired it to be; on account of the church being raised, so many of the people were afraid to come out. Even at that we reached $500, and the flow of money must continue to come in, so as to be able to do the work we are now undergoing. We are very grateful to the members for what they have done, and we doubly thank those who have done the best they could. And we will not forget our friends and strangers from other churches who came out and helped us. Our voting system will cause us to remember you, because your name is on our book. The Sunday school was out in large numbers, raising the church did not affect the school. We earnestly are thankful to the mothers and fathers for getting their children ready and sending them to our school, because there is no better place for them or Sunday. There is always something good for them to learn, as we have in stale literature, and we try to secure the best teachers that can be gotten. We wish all persons who have registered and their names appear on our books and have not voted, pleas report to B. F. Aldridge as early as possible; because the trustees must have means to continue this work This is the second summer month an winter will soon be here, and no time to play with this job.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT The Hi Y Club of the "Y" held r Tennis Tournament on the Courts o the Linden Community Center on the Fourth of July. There were 12 contenders in the singles, which were hotly contested, in which William Avery was the winner. Among those who were strong contenders with Avery for the coveted place was Edie Simmons, Ralph Young, William Smith, and George Bell, all of whom were in the semi-finals. The finals were played between Avery and Simmons, and were won by Avery by a score of 3 to 0. ST. MARGARET'S NEWS Father J. N. Samuele-Bellbuder, Vicar "GOD, SAVE THE PEOPLE WHEN WILT THOU SAVE THE PEOPLE?" This is the constant prayer of the vicar of St. Margaret's on he read FIVE—FORUM runinates and observes the situation forced upon the colored citizens of this community and reviews the situation of Christendom. Christ is all but completely dethroned from the hearts of the people in power. The result is oppression upon the poor and discontent and bitterness in their lives, revolt and rebellion in their hearts. Those who sympathize with them and speak their sympathy openly are looked upon with disapprehension—regarded as inciters to violence watched, complained of, and, where possible, threatened with removal Exactly as Amos, Jeremiah, and Jesus Christ were intimidatedly approached, to today their enemies approach or regard one who presents openly and boldly the wretchedness forced upon the struggling people of today. Father Samuel-Bellboder will preach on Sunday at 11 a.m. on the theme, "Civilization Then and Now," and invites all to hear this sermon. Mr. Byron Alexander, recently of West Point, and son of Mr. Alexander of Gard avenue, was united with St. Margaret's last Sunday morning, as a candidate for confirmation, among a class of young people, which class promises to be large this year. The vicar spoke last Sunday on the kingdom of God—Christ's recommendation with respect to it. "And all these things shall be added unto you." Do not seek the kingdom in order to do these things. It is not a con- tient proposition. It is not a re- ward. It is a possibility which is almost a certainty. Seek the king- dom (1) for yourself because it is good, and good is the pummum bonum of existence; (2) because of your fellow men to whom you are an example; (3) it is the end of all God's creation. The earthly riches, power, blessing that follow are but by-products of a noble effort. The picnic of the Men's club will be next Wednesday, the 16th at Hills and Dales Community park all day. Dancing from 7:30 to 11 p.m. Admission to pavilion 35c. Regular services; 7 a.m., holy communion; 10 a.m., church school; 11 a.m., morning prayer and sermon; subject, "Civilization Then and Now." Preacher, the vicar. ZION BAPTIST NOTES Visitors to Zion have been very favorably impressed with the brief and pointed services these hot days. There are those who take no vacation from church attendance who can well appreciate consideration for their comfort and convenience. All are urged, especially Zion members, bring their Bibles with them, so as to be able to take a live part in the services. Out-town visitors are especially welcome to our church at all its services. We must again commend the young folks for their faithful attendance and hearty co-operation. We solicit for them the kindly encouragement and support of the young folks in their worthy efforts to keep step with the forward movement of the Christian world. Promotions and readjustment of the several classes of our Sunday school brings new fees before new sherds, and it is hoped that there will be no let-up in interest in Bible study and spiritual growth. It is essential that we get to all services on time in order to get the best out of them and not delay closing. Opening will be on time. Let us see you in place early next sunday. Sunday school at 0:20. morning service at 10:45. NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate of William W. Mrown, Deceased. Moses H.
