Washington, D. C.-The trustees of Howard University have arranged for the formal inauguration of Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, as the President of Howard University, Wednesday, November 12, 1919. Elaborate plans now in the making assure an academic event of outstanding importance in the educational world. The great colleges and universities of the world will be invited to celebrate the inauguration of plans which are designed to make this great institution at the capital of the nation "a national university" in fact as well as in name. On the next day, Thursday, November 13, a "Readjustment and Reconstruction Congress" will be held. Addresses will be made by individuals of national and international importance. The part that colored men and women must bear to a permanent pollution of present-day problems will be discussed in full detail by these experts. Howard University has made the following changes in its faculty: Dr. Emmett J. Scott, formerly Secretary of Tuskeguee Institute, Secretary-Treasurer; George Wm. Cook, former secretary, to be dean of the School of Commerce and Finance; Dr. E. L. Parks, former treasurer, to be dean of men; Professor Kelly Miller, former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, to be dean of the Junior College and Professor of Sociology; Dr. A. L. Jackson, head of the new Social Service Department; Dr. C. G. Woodson, dean of the Schol of Liberal Arts, and Professor of History; Dwight O. W. Holmes, Registrar and Professor, in the Schol of Education; C. S. Syphax, former dean of the Academy, to be Professor of Mathematics; Miss Helen Hale-Tuck, Acting Dean of Women and instructor in Physical Education for Women; C. S. Lucas, Chief Accountant and Assistant Treasurer; Edward Bowie, Chief Clerk to the Registrar. The secondary work of the old Commercial College has been discontinued; a new department, the School of Commerce and Finance, with all college work, has been established. The reorganization of the work of Howard University along the most modern lines of educational practice has met with the hearty approval of both educators and students generally. From all parts of the country and from foreign lands, inquiries concerning the work of the different schools and applications for admission have fairly swamped the Registrar's office for the past two months. Indications point to the largest enrollment in the history of the institution during the coming year. The reorganization involves important changes in the departments of study of the University and in its administrative offices. The Academy has been abolished in order that the University, known so long and so favorably as an institution of learning, may give its entire energies to work in this important field. Students who enter hereafter must be prepared to do college work. This preparation requires fifteen units as given in a standard secondary curriculum, added to eight years of preliminary studies in the elementary school. Such work Zion Baptist Church is being done in many schools all over the country in such acceptable fashion as to eliminate the need of a secondary department at Howard. The new scheme of organization provides, as a basis, the Junior College which includes in its courses, the work of the Freshman and Sophomore years. The work of the two upper years is carried on under the faculties of the several senior schools namely, Liberal Arts, Education Commerce and Finance, Journalism and General Service. The School of Applied Science offers prescribed courses covering four college years in Engineering, Architecture, Agriculture and Home Economics. The School of Medicine offers a four-year curriculum and requires for entrance at least two full years of college work, including certain prescribe studies in science and languages. The Schools of Dentistry and Pharmacy have the same entrance requirements as the Junior College, the former offering a curriculum of four years and the latter three. The School of Religion has the same entrance requirements but offers two courses, one leading to a diploma and the other to a degree. The School of Music similarly offers two courses one leading to a certificate and the other to a degree. The School of Law offers a standard three year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws. A very attractive pamphlet setting forth briefly the advantages of the institution has recently been issued by the Registrar's office for the information of interested parties who apply. The annual catalogue, the largest in the history of the institution contains detailed information concerning the organization of the University and the courses offered by the different departments. The Commanding Officer of the recently held Camp Devens R. O. T. C. Infantry Camp, Camp Devens, Mass. announces in an official communication the names of certain students from the various colleges and universities of the country who have won approval by exceptional zeal, enthusiasm, and aptitude displayed by them in their work at the Camp. Out of a list of seventy-seven men representing such institutions as the University of Maine. St. John's School, N.Y., Clason Military Academy, New Bedford High School, New British High School, Harvard University, Yale University, New York Military Academy, Cornell University, Syracuse University, and institutions of that character, the name of Alston Burleigh, a Howard University student, appears. Howard is the only one of the colored schools whose representative won this exceptional mark of approval at Camp Devens. CUBAN STARS VS. MARCOS Sunday afternoon, the Marcos will tackle the Cuban Stars of Havana, Cuba. This team is one of the best in the country, and the Marcos will have to play at top speed to defeat them. The game will be called promptly at 3 o'clock. The Marcos have been playing professional ball all summer. Out of thirty-nine games they lost only four. With the return of Dismukes, Manager Matthews says his team is invincible. The Marcos will play Davis Machine Co. team Saturday, 3 p.m. THE DAMICO CLUB Over twelve hundred people heard the program given at the club last Tuesday evening. The address given by Prof. H. L. Billups, LL.D., was one of the best ever heard. Excerpts from the address delivered by Prof. H. L. Billups, vice commander of the American Woodmen at the Damico Club. Subject: Men Needed. He seriously and sincerely declared that the world generally and the U. S. A. in particular needs men. Needs men now as never before. Needs men of vision—stalwart statesmen with the courage of their conviction—men that will not quibble or cringe—men that will not stoop to do little things. We need men with God and manhood, and brotherhood to give a square deal to all men. Men like Lincoln, McKinley, Foraker and Roosevelt. Men that believe in all men up and no man down. As to the Negro Race in times like these that try men's souls and hearts we need some well-trained, coo-headed men. Efficient leadership—Christian leadership to clear and lead the way. Rev. Smith of Zion Baptist Church was Master of Ceremonies. The following program will be given Tuesday—August 19th: Selection, Bethel Choir; Recitation, Miss Mae Greene; Solo, Miss Lawhorne; Address, Rev. Burton; Solo, Miss Bessie Smith; Selection, Bethel Choir; Solo, Mrs. L. P. Marbry; Solo, Roberta Mitchell; Trio, Viola Davis, Lucile Marks, and Lily Harding; Solo, Mr. Clifton Taylor; Selection, Bethel Choir. Master of Ceremonies, Geo.

Price 5 Cents HOTEL BELL The traveling public will be pleased to learn that Mr. W. A. Bell, veteran hotel man and proprietor of the Hotel Bell, has leased his hostelry again for a period of years, and will continue to conduct the business of this well-known house. For sometime it has been rumored that Mr. Bell would discontinue this popular hostelry and would remove his interests to Chicago, to take charge of a large hotel there. While it is true that he is contemplating associating in a chain of hotels for the accommodation of colored people of the Middle West, Mr. Bell expects to remain in Dayton, however, dividing his time between the Hotel Bell and the other hotels in which he may become interested. The Bell Hotel was opened more than fifteen years ago and was a pioneer colored hotel. It became popular from the beginning and under the efficient management of Mr. Bell was soon known as a first-class house, catering to the best elements and rendering the best service. The influences surrounding the Bell have been excellent and Mr. Bell and his house are well known for their high moral tone and gentility. It is significant of its moral tone hst during the fifteen years of its existence, there has never been any occasion for complaint in the conduct of the affairs of the hotel. Extensive changes are now being made, both to the exterior and interior of the house, new furnishings are being provided and when completed, the hotel will be one of the most up-to-date hotels in the Middle West. OLD LADIES' PICNIC BEST EVER HELD The Zionian Club of Zion Baptist Church, gave its annual outing to the elderly ladies of Dayton Friday, Aug. 3th, at the A. M. E. Zion Park at Western Ave. and Cherry streets. The picnic was more largely attended this year than at any time since its inauguration. Thirty-eight elderly ladies were the especial guests of the club for the occasion. These, with the large number of friends, young and old, who spent the day or part of the day on the grounds, all passed the time most enjoyably. Zionian club members, as is their custom, provided a plentiful and most delectable as well as substantial dinner for all, besides cream, cake, watermelon and other delicacies of the season were plentiful. The day was featured by games by the young folks and singing and speaking by some of the elderly ones and visiting friends. Everybody went away happy and hoping to come again. Zionian Club wishes to thank all who in any way contributed to the success of the outing and especially Mes. Delphia Faulkner, the Jones Bros., Mr. H. P. Loritts, Mr. Dona Smith and others who so kindly gave the use of their cars to carry the old ladies to and from the outing. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Newport News, Va., Aug. 7, 1919—Army Y. M. C.

After enjoying an excellent sermon, all that would be remembered all returned in the afternoon to communion. The church has granted our pastor two weeks' vacation. He will attend the association in Louisville, Ky., after which he will visit Lexington and other points of interest in that state. He will also go to his home, Camelsville, where he will rest until he returns. All the members of the church are especially asked by the pastor to attend their meetings. There will be able speakers in charge of the services. Friends are invited to worship with us. Mrs. Chas. Goodloe, Church Reporter. Or the Major Who Forgot By 1st Sgt. James Jones, Co. "G, 372nd Inf., Red Hand Div. Dayton, Ohio, July 15, 1919. It was on the morning of Oct. 6, 1918, in the battle of the Champagne, when two of Co. "G's" well-known sergeants were made prisoners of war by the Huns, and were rescued by other members of the same company. Our lines had been very well thinned out by the terrible downpour of the Austrian 88 mm. cannons, and the Germans decided to counter attack and regain some of the ground the Dayton boys, along with the others had made them give up, through the most desperate fighting of the drive. Owing to the costly mistake of Capt. Swift (white) who replaced Capt. Robinson, (also white), as Bn Commander, by not establishing the proper communication with the other units on his right and left flanks together with his listening in a 4 foot dug out, we were surrounded by the enemy without a possible chance for escape. There was a heavy fog that hung over our position on the morning on Oct. 6. Our men had been wiped out so fast that were enforced by two French battalions, one on our right and one on our left. Our battalion commander stayed so deep in his dug out he did not know what was going on in front, and while doing so, the French learned of the Germans' plan to attack for the morning of October 6, and both moved back the distance of 700 meters, leaving the 2nd Bn. on the 372nd in the soup. This was the fault of Capt. Swift, who failed to communicate with either of these battalion commanders (French), which he should have done. I was out in an isolated shell-hole when the mistake was noticed, but not until day break did I discover we were not supported on either our right or left. After crawling back to our first lines I reported back to Capt. Swift that we were isolated and I was almost sure of the enemy making a counter attack, which later proved to be a fact. Capt. Swift inquired of me. How did we become isolated? and I told him of the absence of the French battalions on our left and right. He threw up both hands and replied, "Oh, my God, I have forgotten to establish liaison with either of those units. What can I do?" It was too late to worry over spit milk then. We had to fight it out and fight like h—, which we did. After seeing nothing could be done to prevent the coming over of the enemy, I reported to Capt. Swift that I was going back to my post, but he never even came out of his dugout yet, but when I emerged from his quarters the fun had started. The Germans had come over. Private John Ellis, who was an automatic gunner, had trouble with his automatic rifle and it became jammed for him, which made things very unpleasant for him. I met him on the way to report the enemy had broken through. After telling him I had reported to Capt. Swift he turned and reported back to his post. The battle kept up for 4 hours, but the heavy fog made it very difficult for the Germans to see where they were and also for the Americans. It was so difficult to Sgts. Elmer Neal and Cornelius Oldwine that they walked right into the German patrol before they realized where they were. The German patrol took their prisoners and after Sgt. Neal asked the leader of the patrol if he had any beer, which the leader replied in plain English, "yes." Sgts. Kinnard, Stevenson, Corp. Cooper and others, learning of their capture, came to their rescue, and just about the time that Sgt. Oldwine began to picture a sight-seeing trip in Berlin, the voice of Sgt. Kinnard took the German sergeant by surprise and he threw down his arms and surrendered to the rescuers. This was the end of Sgts. Neal and Oldwine's vision of Berlin. The patrol was taken prisoners and after Sgts. Stevenson, Kinnard, Oldwine, Neal, Corp. Cooper., privates Lem Smith, Ellis and others had enjoyed the good wine and other fancy drinks of the German patrol. The Germans were forced back to their former position and the French battalions again took up their former position, and all was well during the rest of the day. This mistake, dear reader, was only one of the thousands that were made by our officers (white), who replaced well-trained colored officers, who were taken from us in the time they were needed most. EMANCIPATION DAY PROGRAM IS ANNOUNCED Colored People Will Have Big Time at Fairgrounds, Monday. September 22 Emancipation Day will be celebrated Monday, September 22, at the Fairgrounds. Celebration of the day in Dayton will be under the auspices of the union body of the Colored Civic societies and will conclude with a grand ball at Memorial Hall. The celebration of Emancipation lay in Dayton has been under the direction of the Union Body of Civic Societies continuously for the past 20 years. From a small number of lodges it has grown to include every lodge, society, club and organization of colored people in Dayton, representing 2,500 members. Colonel J. M. Butler was the originator of the idea of forming a union body of colored civic societies and making the lead in celebrating Emancipation day each year. He has been elected president of the organization for the past 20 years. Each year the celebration has been more successful than the previous year. This year's celebration is expected to be the baner year. On account of the great victory achieved by the American Expeditionary forces in France and the important part of old Company "C" of the Red Hand Division, played in achieving that victory, and the return of Captain Robert H. Mallory, and the members of his company, a greater interest than usual attaches to the observance of the anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation proclamation and a large attendance of colored people is expected by the officers in charge. The following are the officers: Colonel J. M. Butler, president; John King, vice-president; Eugene Jackson, recording secretary; Thaddeus W. Wheeler, corresponding secretary; Warren G. Hogue, treasurer; S. O. Snell, G. F. Williams, and D. J. Galloway, additional members forming executive board. The following are the members of the committees: Grounds: Warren Hogue, Eugene Jackson and John Parker. Bands: Sergt. Carfield Jones, James Stewart, Lee Bell, John King and Oscar Evans. Speakers: David Galloway, E. R. Merchant and W. H. Chandler. Decoration: Lawrence Coleman, Lucien Jones, William Garner, Carl Brooks, Sergt. Clifford Willis, James Paxton and Carl Fant. Amusements: Troy Allen, Sergt. Garfield Jones, Willis Jefferson, and James Knailghles. Entertainment: Pleasant Thomas, Andrew Ragland, James Stuart, George Wilson, and John King. Back Gate: William Howard, James Rife and Clifford Fleming. Printing: Col. J. M. Butler, Eugene Jackson and Thaddeus W. Wheeler. The exercises of the day will begin with a parade at 9 o'clock in the morning. The parade will assemble on Robert's Boulevard, south of Third street, headed by the People's band, followed by Red Cross nurses, Post No. 2, American World War veterans, Red Hand division, Civil War veterans, and other uniformed bodies. The second division of the line will consist of lodges, societies, clubs, and other civic organizations. The third and fourth divisions will be led by the Gem City band, followed by the Sunday schools, juvenile lodges, and other organizations in carriages and automobiles. Captain Peter H. Miller, marshal of the day, Rev. J. E. Burton, pastor of the McKinley M. E. Church, is chaplain of the day. Reading of the Emancipation proclamation will be by George De Mar. Addresses of the day will be delivered by the Rev. Thomas H. Jackson, dean of the Theological seminary, Wilberforce University, and Prof. H. P. Billups, Denver, Colo. John Thomas and Reynold Jackson will have charge of the ball at Memorial hall in the evening. FOR RENT—One unfurnished and two furnished rooms at 516 Homestead Avenue.

Sunday marks an epoch in the history of our church that we trust shall forever be a guide and an inspiration to the greater Zion which is yet to come. A complete program of the day's services will be distributed. Get one for a souvenir of the occasion. The dedicatory sermon and mortgage burning, and other exercises which will constitute the principal services of the day, will occur at 2:30 p.m. We need not, I think, urge upon you the necessity for being on hand early if you wish to get comfortable seats. Members and friends who wish to do so may bring their dinner or luncheon with them and dine in the church dining room instead of going home between the morning and afternoon services.

This was the answer to the question of evidently a curious man who was desirous of knowing how many people go to heaven. It was a reply which according to St. Luke was not answered with any definiteness. And as a matter of fact there are few things upon which the Blessed Master was conclusively definite. He spoke largely in half-truths, leaving us as He Himself has said the Holy Spirit to guide us "into all truth." In this particular instance the inference seemed to have been that it was absolutely unnecessary for one to know whether few or many people would be saved. The greater thing was that one should strive to order his ways aright after choosing God as his goal. "Strive" not "try." Strive to achieve and attain the state of salvation which is the chief and whole duty of man. The word "strive" implies that there will arise circumstances, causes, cases, reasons for striving. That contrary and opposite strong powers will intervene to prevent us from reaching the gate; divert our attention from the great goal, and delay our reaching the gate until perhaps too late. Now one must be strong in order to strive. Striving means the putting forth of constant effort to do something difficult or baffling. It means, too, not only that one must be strong, but he must be keen in understanding; in other words one must be spiritually strong and wise. He must be wise in choosing the way and strong to journey in the way, beset as it is, with the pitfalls and other dangers to safe travel." The Vicar here related the story of the man Christian with Pliable in Runyan's Pilgrim's Progress to emphasize the danger in the way, the weakness of Pliable who turned back, and the perseverance of Christian who at last passed through the gate and reached the goal, crying with ecstacy and exultation, "saved! saved!!" The way today is that which Jesus points out. "I am the way . . . no man cometh unto the Father but by Me . . . Waste no words then in idle questions' as to which church is best, which church is right, which church is good, which church is bad. TWO—FORUM—Aug 14 The important thing is, Are You Right? Do you love the Right? Are you willing to travel the road of Right to the God of Right? Self-development in things spiritual then is your first duty. Get strong in the spirit of Christ, wise in the spirit of God, and travel on the way of Jesus "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. . . I will guide thee with mine eye." Much to the gratification of all present was the large and ever growing attendance at the services. The hearty spirit with which the congregation responds to the ceremonies was highly touching. And the singing, soulful and encouraging. On Sunday the Rite of Holy Baptism will be administered to Mr. Byron Alexander at the morning prayer, at 11 o'clock.

TRAITORS WITHIN AND FOES WITHOUT The race should not be discouraged on account of the unsuccessful campaign of E. T. Banks for the nomination of city commissioner. When all things are considered, Mr. Banks made a splendid showing, and indeed it was a victory because it united the self-respecting colored people of the city. There were traitors within and foes without, dirty low schemes of intimidation, backed by the police department of the city, yet in the face of it all five hundred and ninety-six men stood up and were counted. We must profit by this defeat and unite and organize for further struggles for representation. We should also let it be known, especially to the dominant race, that the criminal element within our midst must not be used to retard our progress or to throttle our aspiration for representation. We must have a colored candidate in each primary election. Let the pelego take the habit of voting for colored men. Why not? Haven't we voted for white men for fifty-five years! FEW CHANGES MADE BY OFFICIAL COUNT Few changes were made in the totals given out following the primaries of Tuesday, when the board of elections last night completed making the official count. A total of 8,767 votes were cast. In the face for city commission nominations, Henry Hiddesen, present incumbent, rolled up 5,126 votes, while his runnig mate, Lorin Wright, received 4,599. Charles E. Geisler and Dan P. Farrell, Socialists, received 2,436 and 2,356 respectively. Charles Bracher's total was 842, while Charles T. Culbertson got 690 and E. T. Banks received 596. On the judicial ticket William G. Powell, Republican, received 3,942, while William A. Budroe received 3,271. The school tax levy was passed by a substantial majority, receiving 5,876 favorable votes to 2,397 in the negative.

Ridley, one of Wilberforce's strongest preachers, graced the pulpit in the morning. He was at his best and did honor to the cause he represents. Four persons joined the church and four came up for prayer. A large financial collection was raised. We greatly appreciate visitors like Rev. Ridley. In the evening Rev. Upthegrove was at his best and a pleasant day was spent. Our church is now back on its foundation and stronger than ever. The walls are 8 feet, 6 inches high and 18 to 20 inches thick, made of stone and concrete. So don't stay away from this church any longer for fear of it falling down, because it is all right. The Sunday school is holding its own during the warm summer months and the Allen Endeavor League is doing nicely. A special effort is on foot for the first Sunday in September to help finance the great work the trustees are doing. Several states in the Union are represented and we hope friends and strangers will join one of them. The Trouble in Turkey Trot Methodist Church Co., of Allen A. M. E. Church, played in Harveysburg, Ohio, last Saturday night, with a great success financially. We were accompanied by two large trucks and five automobiles from Dayton. The town Hall in Harveysburg was crowded to its capacity. Those who have heard this company play each time since it was created Saturday night was the best. The company was invited back with a guarantee of a crowded hall. Also another town calls for this company. Our audience in Harveysburg was half and half, white and colored peepole, and a more congenial colored people, and a more congenial towns. The talent in this company has got the play down pat. They are like a talking machine—they keep the audience alive from start to finish. WESLEYAN The Wesleyan Methodist Church will hold regular services Sunday in the Sunday School room. Rev. J. E.
