A CHRISTIAN APPEAL TO CHRISTIANS Somewhere in the Andes Mountains at a point where the dividing line between hostile states lies directly across the top, a thoughtful monk has caused to be erected, a cross on which is the body of the slain Redeemer. This, known as the Christ of the Andes, halts the hoards and asuages the anger of contending peoples. Surely we, though enthusiastic in the glow of recent victory, and mighty in the resources and possibilities of our country, might well do the same. The Race Problem has become acute. Clashes in Washington, D. C., Norfolk, Chicago, Dayton and many small towns, have stirred the anxieties of the most sanguine. Hopes have been blighted, homes destroyed, many have been wounded and others killed. Why should it go further? And if it should go further in other localities, why should Dayton and the good people of Dayton, blushing in shame for the immediate past, suffer the degradation of a repetition in the future? Surely there is some higher resolve, maybe a peak similar to that of the Andes, and if not, then just a Calvary on which our Races may meet and settle possible differences. Let us call ourselves to council, Christians all, for the adoption of a policy of conservation, as befits peoples who live in the light of His Love.

What did the Y. M. C. A. do for the soldiers? Everybody asked this question when we came home, and many times I have been held up on the street and questions by those interested in the doings of the Y. M. C. A. I have never been able to answer the question in full as I wanted to, but, after thinking it over I find it unjust to keep our dear ones who have been fooled so much by the war grafters from knowing the truth of what the Y. M. C. A. did for the soldiers First of all, I want to make myself clear to the local officials of the Y. M. C. A. of our race and hope that they will not feel in any way disheartened in their effort to build up the Y. M. C. A. in Dayton, as there is nothing in the world better for the unfit of our young men. You remember when Co. "G" left Dayton for Camp Sheridan, Ala. they were treated like dogs and prisoners of war instead of soldiers of America. We were very unwelcome in that part of the country by the low degraded crackers of the South. Every time a man went into the city of Montgomery he would be molested by some hage who had no more respect for a soldier of America and especially of our race than he had for a murderer, or some other criminal. The result was that some means of keeping our boys in camp and away from trouble, which was always the case among the 9th Ohio, had to be provided. It was some job to satisfy almost seven hundred men, and to attract their attention to the camp. There were many things in Montgomery to draw them there, such as moving, picture houses, many churches, ice cream parlors, and lots of nice young girls, who were continually giving parties for the boys in the city, so you see it was quite a job to break them off. Who was the man to accomplish this feat? He was none other than Mr. C. D. Higgins, the well-known Y. M. C. A. Secretary of Dayton, Ohio, who was assigned to the 9th Ohio Bn. at Camp Sheridan, Ala. He came to the rescue of the boys and after seeing the situation began to get busy. He put up a large canvas tent and secured all kinds of indoor games, such as checkers, dominoes, boxing gloves, and books of all kinds. Made arrangements for the transportation THE DAYTON FORUM where the dividing line between oughtful monk has caused to be Redeemer. the hoards and asuages the of recent victory, and mighty in right well do the same. in Washington, D.

E. T. BANKS, 410 Bank St. The Advancement of Colored People, ```markdown ``` of the daily newspapers from our home town to Camp Sheridan, secured all the prominent speakers of the South to speak to the boys on several occasions, and many other things that could be mentioned. This proved a great success in breaking off the boys from running to town so much, until one night some cracker forgot we were from the North and that we were going to France with the thought of not many of us coming back, took upon himself to say "Lynch a couple of them d—— n—— soldiers," which was overheard by some of the Dayton boys, as well as those from other cities, and they were not long getting busy and sending a couple volleys of American 45's down through the main street of Montgomery, and after seeing this our brigade commander, who is one of Cleveland's sub-politicians, by the name of Zimmerman, who had the colored soldiers assembled and threatened to have any soldier sent to prison who left camp and went into the city. He also added that the colored soldiers were no good, that we had flat heads and flat feet, and was a disgrace to the army. That was some encouragement for a body of men to get from their leader. But what were we to do? Again Mr. Higgins came to the aid of our battalion by pleading and begging the boys not to do anything that would mar their record, and send them to prison. He realized our feeling and had a great deal of sympathy for us, while in turn we appreciated his teachings and decided to hold up our plans of revenge on Mr. Zimmerman, so Mr. Zimmerman can say he owes a great deal to our honorable secretary, Mr. C. D. Higgins, as it was him who saved Zimmerman from being captured by the 9th Oblio Bn. being missed by the sen Ohio Bill. Our stay in Montgomery was short, and we moved to Camp Stuart, Va. where Mr. Higgins took care of his boys in great style, by securing all sorts of amusements for them, as he had done in Montgomery, Ala. His work for the boys never seemediring to him. He always bore a smile for everyone, and on our departure for services over-seas, he wished us all the best of luck; in turn the boys of the 392nd Inf. took off their hats to the most popular man in their midst, and can well say that he is the only Y. M. C. A. secretary who proved to perform the duties assigned to him by the war department. Co "G" always has a good word for Mr. Higgins. But now we are going to learn something of the Y. M. C. A. on the other side of the water. My first DAYTON, OHIO, FRIDAY AUGUST 1, 1919 30th, July, 1919. opportunity to find out the crooked work of the "Y" was in a little village of France called Le Isletts, Musee, which front in the Argonne Forest. I was sent to a French school by order of the commanding officer of the regiment. After being there a few days learned of a Y. M. C. A. being near. I paid a visit, with the intention of securing some paper and writing a letter to my loved ones at home. But to my surprise when I asked the "Y" man for the stationery he held out his hand, after giving me two small sheets of paper and an envelope and says: "5 cents please." I asked him "Why the charges? Don't the 'Y furnish the soldiers with material to write with when they so desire?" "Yes," he said, "but we have to charge 3 cents for paper and 2 cents for ink; it costs money for the Y' as well as anything else." I was anxious to write, so I paid the cost and went on. The regiment arrived in that vicinity a few weeks later, and after learning they had been paid off lately, he found out what they liked best in the way of canned goods and candies and cakes, after a consultation with the white officers of the regiment. A big line of sardines, salmon, peaches, pears Hershey's- chocolate, cigarettes and cigars were layed in store by the syndicate. A notice was sent to the company commands, saying, "The Y M. C. A. has opened a canteen with a full line of articles for the benefit of the regiment. All officers and men are requested to go to the canteen for their articles wanted. Col. Commanding. Camel cigarettes, which sold for 10c at that time cost the boys 60c at the "Y." Hershey chocolate, the regular 10c cake, cost us $1.50. Canned peaches, pint $2.75, and many other things that would fill a whole sheet of the Forum. You can get an idea what we had to pay in order to get something beside horse meat, mule chops, and goat soap, which was our daily menu in France. This was only one thing against the "Y," Next came their representatives to the trenches to urge the boys to send their money home to their relatives, which if done was a good idea, for no one of us knew when we would be killed or hurt and to send our money home was a safe bet, but how were we going to do it by the Y. M. C. A., when we had learned their deeds at the canteen. However they succeeded in securing money from several men who going out on a patrol and raiding party, of which two of our well-known sergeants of Co. "G" were picked to go on—Sgts. Ralph Taylor and Ethelbert Jones. It proved to be one of the most desperate raiding parties that ever attempted to enter the trenches of our enemy in a small group. They lost a considerable lot of men—among them a number of whom had given their money to the Y. M. C. A. man to home to their people. After the scrap was over the Y man came around to the patrol leader and asked the names of those who were mortally wounded or killed. After finding he had landed some dough by his method of scheming, he thanked the patrol commander and hurried away. Some of the boys wrote to their people and relatives of the unfortunates and until now nothing has been learned of their money, so you see the Y. M. C. A. overseas was made up from the lowest kind of material that could be found. Able bodied single men who should have been in the fighting line with us, were only staying up late at night trying hard to find a way to beat the soldier who was defending them by facing death from many angles and trying hard to make the world safe for all mankind. The soldier paid dear to the Y. M. C. A. for the many luxuries he desired in the way of fancy things to eat and on several occasions we complained to our officers, who only stood aside and said it could not be helped as they were one branch of the service off to themselves. But we understood the officer's side—he did not have to pay for anything he got from them, therefore he couldn't go against them. So you see how much good your services did for the boys by contributing to the war-chest, buying Liberty bonds and many other things that were put on the poor soldiers boys in France as they called us. But we are back home now and our long misery has ended. Let us be friends with the Y. M. C. A. Branch of our race and help them to make their goal, as we do not hold our race workers "over here" responsible for what the white ones "over there" did to us. Best wishes to the local branch of the Colored T. I thank you, 1st SEGT. JAMES JONES. FORMER DAYTON PREACHER WRITES PRES. WILSON Says Colored People Will Not Submit to Continued Injustices. Chattanooga, Tenn., July 27.—Declaration that before the Negroes of the country again will submit to "many of the injustices which we have suffered, the white men will have to kill more of them than the combined number of soldiers that were slain in the great world war," is made in a letter written to President Wilson by the Rev. J. G. Robinson, presiding elder of the African Methodist Episcopal church at Chattanooga and made public here tonight. NOTE—Rev. Robinson was formerly pastor of Eaker St. Church, and is one of the strongest advocates of equal rights to all men, in the country CHALLENGES GOVERNOR QF FLORIDA John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today sent the following telegram to Sidney J. Catts, governor of Florida, challenging him to take action in the case of an attack by a white man upon a colored young girl: "We are advised by officers of our Pensacola, Florida, branch, that Miss Rosebud Spann, young colored woman, daughter of Mrs. J. T. Spann, widow, one of leading colored families of Pensacola, was attacked July ninth and dragged from her buggy to the woods by a white brute; that two hundred and fifty dollars reward has been offered for arrest and conviction of the assailant by colored citizens of Pensacola. "National Association for Advancement of Colored People, in name of its Florida branches asks your interest in enlisting help of local authorities for energetic and appropriate legal action in defense of this young woman's honor. From recent correspondence with which you have honored us we know you will be glad to do everything in your power in defense of womanhood." RACE RIOTS Expressions from Eastern Newspapers THE WASHINGTON RIOTS The New York Tribune says: The disgraceful race conflict that has sullied Washington and which makes our pretensions of sympathy for justice seem grossly hypocritical, presents phenomena usual in such disturbances—that is to say, the chasers are mainly white men and the chased are mainly black men. Driven into corners, the primary instinct of self-defence has asserted itself, and the assailed have armed themselves and when opportunity offered have attempted retaliation; but it is significant on what side are the casualties. The usual excuse is given that black men are attacking white women, but so far few particulars of this are given, and the reports are to be accepted with reserve a sat least exaggerated. But even though there are Negro criminals, as there are, there is no reason for a general attack upon the innocent. The outbreak is to be attributed to blind race prejudice—to the feeling entertained by many temporarily in Washington, that Negroes need to be taught their places; that in Washington they are not sufficiently abject in their manners. The ground about the Lincoln statue has not been profaned, but unless more energetic means are used than so far have been shown by the administrators of the Federal district, the profanation may occur. The sculptured face of Lincoln may look sadly down—the Lincoln who said that no complaint could be made of the judgments of the Almighty if for every crop of Negro blood unjustly shed the shedding of a drop of white blood were required. The New York World (Dem.) says: One of the most brutal forms of oppression is the punishment of a whole race for the crimes of individuals. For many years this has been, and it is still, the practice in American states, that do not recognize the citizenship of the Negro. To secure a black man is to condemn him to torture and death, and resentment on the part of kindred is held to justify massacres that are complacently dignified as race wars. What we see now in Washington is more properly to be thus classified than any other disturbance that we have had, and there is a reason for it worthy of serious consideration. Negroes are taking part in the hostilities. If they are assaulted or shot, they are assaulting and shooting in return. In defense of life, limb and liberty they are meeting mobs with mobs. Deplorable as this lawlessness is, the response of the black man to the white man was bound to come some time. The Negro has long been free. He has acquired some education and property. He has made a place for himself in industry. The laws under which he lives guarantee him equality. He escapes no responsibility that rests upon the white man. Yet in large sections of the Union when riot is afoot he is stripped of every right and driven either into hiding or violence. Is there anybody at the South or elsewhere who imagines that the compulsory service of 360,000 Negroes in the United States Army, in many instances so, creditably as to win high commendation, has had no influence upon them or the mass of their people at home? Who is foolish enough to assume that with 239,000 colored men in uniform from the Southern states alone, as against 370,000 white men, the black whose manhood and patriotism were thus recognized and tested are forever to be flogged, lynched, burned at the stake, or chased into concealment whenever Capasian desperadoes are moved to engage in these infamous pastimes? We grieve over the hardships of many subject peoples a long way off, and on occasion manifest something resembling indignation, but in all the world there is hardly a population so God-forsaken as our own blacks. Whether it is agreeable or not, therefore, the Washington outbreak is a warning to all Americans that their race wars hereafter are going to be race wars. The Negro citizen is going to have his day in court. It ought not to be necessary for him to fight for it. ADVERTISERS realize quick results when using these columns to reach the people. Phone Us! Main 7696. Price 5 Cents THE WASHINGTON RACE RIOTS It would be difficult to find words strong enough to characterize the lawlessness that has been prevailing in the national capital. At a time when the world has become familiar with our love for moral leadership, the methods of barbarism are practiced within a stone's throw almost of the building which stands as the symbol of law and freedom in this country. These Washington riots have so far been less disastrous in the loss of human lives than were the riots at East St. Louis. But they are even more humiliating because of their taking place in the national capital. Their memory will not easily die. The rabid mob that has been persecuting colored people in Washington has been founding an inheritance of trouble for the coming times. We must quickly overcome this tendency to punish a race for the people which has been splendidly loyal? crimes of individuals. We must bring ourselves to realize that our colored citizens are citizens in fact and not merely in name. We were glad enough to call on them when we needed them during the war. They fought bravely and have a record of achievement that any race might be proud of. Now that the war has ended, are we going to let the least educated and the least broadminded of our white community It would be a good thing for our own white terrorists to look a little into the history of the Negro race. Handicapped as they were, they have seized opportunity in a marvelous manner. Let any one who thinks the Negroes are so terribly inferior to our own Hamburg and Willis possess a few generations of civilization. The process should be a chastening one.—N. Evening Mail. CHARGE WASHINGTON NEWSPAPER WITH INCITING TO RIOT New York City, July 25.—Action by the Attorney-General of the United States against the Washington Post on the ground of incitement to riot in connection with the recent race riots in Washington, is asked in a letter sent to Attorney-General A. Mitchell Palmer today by John R. Shilladay, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The letter is as follows: "July 25, 1919. "Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer, "Attorney-General, United States, "Washington, D. C. "Dear Sir: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully asks if the office of the United States Attorney-General intends proceeding against the Washington Post, on the ground of incitement to riot, in connection with the recent disorders in Washington. "The ground for such procedure seems to lie in matter published on the first page of the Washington Post on the morning of Monday, July 21, on the evening of which day the worst disorders occurred. "The matter referred to reads as "Mobilization for Tonight Mobilization for Tongue "It was learned that a mobilization of every available service man stationed in or near Washington or on leave here has been ordered for tomorrow evening near the Knights of Columbus hut, on Pennsylvania Avenue, between Seventh and Eighth Sts. "The hour of assembly is 9 o'clock and the purpose is a "clean-up" that will cause the events of the last two evenings to pale into insignificance. "‘Whether official cognizance of this assemblage and its intent will bring about its forestalling, cannot be told.’ “In view of the fact that the 'mobilization' announced by the Washington Post had not been ordered by any authority, military or civil, does not the passage show intent by the Washington Post to bring about such 'mobilization'? “Sincerely yours, (Signed) “JOHN R.

Although the weather is hot, and the house is up on pine, the people will flock to it every service. The Sunday school was extra large attended, and the delegates, Miss Pauline Payne and Miss Dorena Rankins, brought back a very able report from the Sunday School Institute which convened in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, last week. We expect greater school this year. Sunday will be trustee day, and we are looking forward for a strong financial shake-up. Every member, friend, and stranger is expected to cast a vote or more, at $1.00 a vote to help put our church in shape. We hope no one will stay away on Sunday. If so, it means a whole month lost to the work. We will begin in the Sunday school to vote and we will vote all day. If you can't come, send in your vote with your name, and it will be received. The church is much more secure than it was last Sunday. The stone masons have it in hand now and they are going ahead with the work. Rev. Upthegrove is staying on the job, morning, noon, and evening—a live wire. The regular monthly meeting of the American Woodmen Lodge was held Monday evening, July 28th on account of the undesirable weather all business was postponed except the receiving of dues. The Commander is very anxious to have the entire membership meet with him Monday, August 4th, important business to be attended to. The supreme clerk will be with us at an early date. We must work to accomplish our aim, every American Woodman knows his or her duty. Let's do it kindly and cheerfully.—Agnes P. Lillard, Chairman Publication Committee. Mother Scott Home No institution, company, or people seems to be more interested in the success of the Mary Scott Mothers' and Widows' Home than the Kentucky Central Life and Accident Insurance Company and those immediately connected therewith. Only last week the central office sent to President Brown a check for $50.00, and now Mr. Backus, superintendent of the Dayton Branch office, sends the following letter. KENTUCKY CENTRAL LIFE AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY "Dayton, Ohio, July 24, 1919 "To the Mary Scott Mothers' and Widows' Home Fund: "I believe in helping those who cannot help themselves due to years of faithful service to their fellow men. "Let's make the slogan, one help, all help, make this home a big success. I fully realize what helps you will also help me. "Therefore I pledge myself to pay into this fund, until this home is fully paid for, on the 1st day of July, each year, $100.00. "Yours for a big success, "C. F. BACKUS, Supt., "1008 U. B. Bldg."

On Tuesday evening, August 5th, at St. Margaret's Parish Hall, a meeting will be held by the Dayton branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for the purpose of formulating plans to combat the mob spirit that seems to be sweeping through the country. The Legal Redress Committee will make a report on the near riot that occurred at Lakeside Park two weeks ago. Colored citizens should remember this is the most formidable and militant organization in the country today fighting for the rights of the Negro. Dayton should have a thousand members of this organization. Come out and bring some one with you Tuesday night.—Publicity Committee. EAKER ST. NOTES All Sunday services will be observed as usual. There is a laxity in the attendance at Sunday school. Why not recruit it up? The delegate to the Institute will make his report Sunday morning. One hundred dollars was added to our lot fund last Sunday. Wasn't that fine? All the clubs report that there is more to follow. The pastor wishes to thank those who saved him from paying his pledge of staying in the church all night unless he raised $25.00 at the evening service. Church loyalty is bound to be rewarded by a new church. Many of the captains have expressed their willingness to continue the rally until we raise the $1,500. I am sure all are willing to assist. The Stewardess board will please meet in the lecture room of the church Sunday morning after the morning service. This being the first Sunday we will observe the Communion. C. M. E. NOTES Rev. W. G. Jones, of Mt. Sterling Ky., preached an excellent sermon Sunday morning. He is a graduate of Paris College, Augusta, Ga., and the presiding elder of Miles Memorial College in Alabama. He is a high toned Christian gentleman. It is earnestly hoped that the members will manifest more interest in the Sunday School. Come and bring your children.

AMERICA IN THE GRIP OF MOB RULE For several weeks white hoodlums have been attacking defenseless col- ored citizens in Norfolk, Va., Wash- ington, D. C., Chieago, Til, and Day- ton, Ohio. The persistent and organ- ized efforts of the “red necks” to ter- rorize Negroes wherever found, have exhausted their patience and in every place except Dayton colored people have fought back with equal frenzy. 'The white press has been instrumental in spreading the propaganda of “kill a nigger,” and in Washington legal action will be taken against a leading daily for excitement to riot.” ‘The white press is ulso very unfair in enlarging and exaggerating _ the crimes of Negroes. This prejudicial attitude of the daily press has poi- soned the minds of thoughtless white people against the colored citizens. os of AE co i | Se N\ ¥en We, Aer arson? } Wa) Fo bor rinnion a NS exe coon unor\| ames ie uF ne oon'r neer]| TEAS Pee 17 nome Whe Ey rr ERE ( CBee oy : a wy o Rae AS Ia Bh Oh E f Cafes ¥ / OU & ‘The following is a brief account of he racial trouble in the four cities mentioned. Dayton Sunday, July 20, a gang of pool- room toughs ran all the colored peo- ple out of Lakeside Park, a public resort adjacent to the National Mili- tary Home, There were about thirty colored persons in the park, including: men, women, and children, and all alike were molested, insulted, and beaten, without receiving any pro- tection. from the park police force; indeed, it is said the policemen them- selves participated in the maltreat- ment. Four white men were arrested, but released on their awn recogniz- ance. The city police department lelaims that the park was out of its [Jurisdiction, whilst the county sheriff jand is deputies have shown an ap |palling disinterest. Norfolk Z | The outbreak at Norfolk occurred |while the colored citizens were cele brating the return of colored soldiers The coluored people were attackeé without provocation by soldiers and sailors. The Negroes repelled the as sault by fighting back, No arrest have been made. Washington At Washington the trouble starte: when United States sailors and ma rines began to abuse colored citizent indiscriminately on account of thi alleged attacks on white women bj black men. These crimes originate in the perverted minds of white re porters. The peace officers at the nationa {capitol took sides with the white ruf \fians and united to beat up eolore men and women. Finally _colore people became enraged and retaliate '|with such fury a brigade under a ma jor general was called to stop th fighting.

Think of this condition in free America! The latent cause of these distur- bances seems to be the animosity in white soldiers, sailors and marines against Negroes on account of treat- ment accorded colored soldiers by the French people. ‘They made their boast. “When we get back to America we will teach you niggers how-to stay in your place.” Colored troops brought this declaration back with them, and this together with the shameful conduct of American white officers to colored soldiers, account for the bitterness that has dome over both races. Education and a fair pub: lic press are the only things that wil ameliorate this cnovity. White anc colored pastors should instruct thei congregations against the folly of mol rule, and all unite to maintain peac and order, here must be some tol eration from both sides if the race are to live here in peace.
