Birthday Party
Rev. Kiinbro entertains fellow di
vines at Sumptuous repart.
Three generations of ministers
were represented at the birthday
dinner party given by Rev. James
M. E. Kimbro, honoring his twenty
second anniversary. Father William
H. Coleman, while still active and pro
gressive, yet represented the old
school, having entered the ministry
fifty years ago. He belongs to that
class of splendid preachers and lead
ers that jthe race sent out a decade
after freedom. Twenty-five years
later another class of ministers ap
peared*. Rev. Upthergrove repre
sented this group at the dinner while
Rev. John Wesle$te Arnold and Rev.
Kimbro are preparing themselves for
tomorrow, to teike their places with
the thinkers of the world. It was
indeed impressive to see these three
groups of ministers around the fes
tive board, relating reminiscences, re
viewing the recent past, and discuss
ing the problems of the future.
Rev. Kimbro and his family pre
pared a dinner that caused one to
forget the H. C. L. and the war.
The season's choice delicacies were
before these devouring divines, and
right well did they live up to the
reputation of their profession, while
the victrola did its bit to make things
merry. May Rev. Kimbro have many
happy returns.
SoHiftts Aid
Society1 Notes
tVedneeday afternoon the Soldiers'
Aid Society listened to a splendid ad
dress delivered by Secretary C. D.
Higgins who is now in the war serv
ice, being stationed at Camp Stuart,
Newport News, Va.
The keynote of Mr. Higgins ad
dress was "Preparedness." He ad
monished us that we should hold our
selves in readiness—that we should
be prepared to take our places in
the ranks when opportunities were
presented. "The Negro in many ave
nues is coming ir.to his own," said
Mr. Higgins. He is not only win
ning fame as a soldier, but in the in
dustrial world as well, the Negro is
on a prominent platform, attracting
the attention of the world." He then
spoke of the important part that
Negroes are taking in ship building
and other industries of his own work
in detail and the harmony of broth
erly love existing in camp between
the two races of the boys keen in
terest, and appreciation of the work
that we are doing and their special
mention of the Easter Message and
Telegram, which the Society had
sent to them.
Mr. Higgins' parting advise was
to "carry on" to ally ourselves with
any and every movement that meant
uplift not to be found wanting in
any phase of war work that was:
open to us. "Four regiments are^
now in the trenches," said,Mr. Hig
gins," of which Co. is a unit fif
teen thousand men are now at the
front and they need service, help and
all the encouragement that you can
give. Add all you can to their bit
and prepare yourselves for the new
era that Is dawning—a new era is
bound to come and their sacrifice shall
not be in vain."
He who hath led, will lead
All through the wilderness
He who hath fed will feed and
He who hath blessed wili bless.
We'll let the morrow rest
In His beloved hand
His good is better than our beat,
And we shall understand,
If trusting Him, who faileth never
We rest in Him, today, forever.
Dr. Cox, as member of the board
of the local chapter of the Red Cross,
was also present and advised the so
ciety concerning the forming of a
Red Cross unit. In the main, al
though speaking of Red Cross work,"
in a spirited and pointed way, he
also advised us concerning race loy
alty—drawing a fine distinction be
tween Jim Crowism and race uplift.
Mr. Shaw, as president pro tem.
ably expressed the gratitude of the
entire society for such encouraging
words and helpful advice. After lis
tening to two beautiful solos by the
Higgins Sisters, refreshments were
garved and a social hour enjoyed.
All women who are interested in
Red Cross work are kindly requested
to be present at the next meeting
of the Soldiers' Aid Society, Thurs
day p. m., July 25, at W. C. A. At
this meeting definite plans will be
made towards forming a Red Cross
unit. Other neighboring cities have
long since been active in this partic
ular phase of war work. Stop criti
cising stock knocking! Come out to
the meeting, boost the work and Day
ton will soon be in line with the pro
grftSHive cities. With 35,•000 of our

in the trenches can there be any doubt
in your mind as to o ir duty in this
phase of war work Let us not be
found wanting when the opportunity
has presented itself. Come out Thurs
day afternoon. We earnestly solicit
your co-operation.
At the station Thursday morning
the ladies of the society passed out
lunches and cigarettes to the 39 se
lects who were entrained for Camp
Sherman. We're doing what we can
both to keep the home fires burning
and to give financial aid to soldiers'
dependents when in need. Local pa
pers are mailed daily to the boys,
both over there, and at the various
camps while a nice "fat" budget full
of cheery home news is sent monthly
to the brave boys in the trenches.
If you are interested in the work,
come and join the ranks. Our books
are open for membership at all times.

Paris Protests Against Nepiect
Paris.—Protest has arisen In many
quarters here against the deliberate
neglect of many of the priceless stat
ues and works of art in Paris, which
have been permitted to stand unpro
tected against possible damage from
enemy air raids aod bombardments.
The special commission charged with
the duty of providing protection for
public monuments of art has been se
verely criticized.
Last year when the danger of air
raids seemed comparatively remote a
dozen or more monuments and statues
were ordered to be protected with sand
bags. Some time afterward "loaded"
sacks were placed at a distance from
the monuments or statueto waiting to
be put in place. There they were al
lowed to remain, nothing further be
ing done. The bags lay about the
statues for weeks.
In the meanwhile there were several
air rr!ds. Fortunately no monument
or statue was hit. On the Initiative
of a group of citizens work on the pro
tection of some of the masterpieces
was begun, and many historic pieces
like the Vendome Column, the Obelisk,
the Strassbourg Monument and the art
works !u the Luxembourg gardens
were given some adequate protection.
Street urchins anxious to play "In
the trenches" climbed up among the
ags, causing a loose one to slip, with
the result that thousands of bags fell
In an avalanche about many of the
statues. It was thereupon found that
the bags were filled with stones or
ciinkera.
Art lovers protested and called the
attention of the commission to the
fact that stonea and clinkers afforded
no protection agnlnst German bombs.
The Pftrls municipal council Is now
taking measures to remedy the present
condition and promises that every valu
able piece of statuary and historical
art will be reasonably protected.
HELP TO MAKE IT BETTER
We could give you a better paper if
you would settle your accounts
promptly. Most of the knockers are
delinquent. Churches and organiza
tions especially should settle their ac
counts promptly. Running a news
paper these days is an expensive oper
ation. Do your part. Pay up.
