for the American Expeditionary
Force of 2 million men. Later he
was chief of staff of the 1st
Army, the combat army COM

Liaison With British.
Pershing said Drums "tact, zeal
and high professional attainments
had a marked influence on the
success that attended the opera
tions of the 1st Army"
In France, Drum served as
liaison officer with the British
Army in Flanders and French
forces in the Champagne, and
then at the front with the 42d
(Rainbow) Division. AS PERISH

out battle plan for the final

sought to find ways to counteract
German tanks that had swept un.

! The answer he arrived at was
self propelled artillery, with great
speed and mobility and with suffi-

This idea, with improvements, was
used effectively in the war.

Former Liquor
hspeet~E Fights
To Regain lob

In a hearing before the State
Civil Service Commission Montgo-
merry County Sheriff, Ben Smith,
related to the Commissioners the
events leading up to the suspen-
sion of liquor inspector Abner B.
Vance of Cleveland for allegedly
accepting a bride.
Sheriff Smith said Julious AL
erander commander of the Shar-
man-Dudley Post 1903 of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, complain
ed to him last year that Vance had
approached him during a picnic
June 4th. and pointed out various
violations adding that a "pay off"
was necessary if he, Alexander,
intended to continue operations.
According to testimony the
sheriff and Alexander marked
several bills which were later
found in Vance's possession.
Armer l.. Watson and assistant
prosecutor Russell Carter acted as
defense counsel and denied all the
charges levied against Vance.
Vance described his suspension
as a plot and attempt to get rid of
him by one of his superiors and
Julious Alexander. Vance has con-
stantly denied accepting the bride
and said the money was "plant-
ed".
Following yesterdays hearings
the commission had not reached a
decision. The commission did rule,
however, that Vance would be paid
for time lost during his original
suspension up to the time Of his
dismissal.

Too few people, Negro or white,
are aware OF the fact that the
Frederick Douglas home exists. /
am sure that ii they knew they
would beat a path to this parti-
cular door. In trying to find the
exact address of the Douglas home,
l called a local Negro newspaper,
and sad to say, no one there could
tell me. l finally found it and for
your information the Frederick
Douglas Memorial home is located
at 1411 w. Street, S. E. The con-
genial caretaker is Mrs. Gladys
Palmer. Visitors are welcome at
almost any time. Just walk around
to the caretaker'S house in the
back and ring the bell. He will
take you through the place.
This was my second visit to the
home. Each time l go there, as |
walk up, up, up that beautiful
hill, I have a feeling Of being
transported back into a period of
the past. Into a time when Doug
las lived and raised his nightly
voice and exerted his fine and
brilliant intellect for the Freedom
of our people. Frederick Douglas,
born a slave lived to become one
Of Americas greatest orators and
statesmen. His contribution to the
fight for the liberation of the
slaves was overwhelming.
When Frederick Douglas died,
his wife, l believe, presented the

to maintain as a national Negro
shrine. Since Douglas death in the
late 80, these courageous women
have kept the home up and open
in the best way that they could.
Throughout the place, there are
PLAQUES noting the various con-
tributions Of women's clubs to the
improving of the home.
For example, in 1926, the Nine.
