HOME GUARDS DISSOLVED — The following is the official order for dissolving the Home Guard: State of Nebraska, Adjutant General’s Department Office of the Adjutant General Chief of Staff, Lincoln December 31, 1918. Home Guard General Orders No. 4 1. The emergency under which the i organization of the Home Guard 1 Companies in Nebraska was author | ized by House Roll No. 6 enacted at : the extraordinary session of the legis lature and approved April 8, 1918, I having passed, all Home Guard Com i panics organized under the provisions j of this act are hereby mustered out of the service of the State of Nebraska. 2. At this time I wish to express my appreciation of the services ren . be rod by the Home Guard organiza i tions of the state. But few cases have arisen which have called for the serv | 'ces of the Home Guard as such, but ; the willingness displayed by the | Guards on these occasions showed the j spirit animating the organization. By Command of GOVERNOR NEVILLE. H. E. Clapp, Adjutant General. Captain E. T. Swobe, who was in command of the local Colored com pany expressed to The Monitor his regret at the abandonment of the Home Guard. Captain Swobe said: “I appreciate the spirit and enthusi asm which the men were puting into the company. They were responding admirably. It was a pleasure to serve with them and I feel confident that mine would have been the crack com pany of the regiment.” • i PATRICK GOES TO CHICAGO; PARKER SUCCEEDS HIM Bert Patrick, who has been adver tising solicitor for The Monitor for several months, left last Thursday afternoon for Chicago to enter the em ploy of the Kashmir Chemical com pany, a large and growing firm which is putting out a splendid line of toilet articles, unsurpassed by any firm in America. It is a mark of progress when members of the race can fi nance, manage and put upon the mar ket the high class of goods manu factured by the Kashmir company. Mr. Patrick will be one of the road representatives of this firm. As his work and connection with The Monitor has helped to land him this position it is confidently believed that wher ever he goes, if opportunity permit, ! W,H n°t fail to put in a good w’ord j for The Monitor. Mr. George Wells Parker has now added to his other duties on The Mon | it°r those of advertising manager. the n. a. a. c. p. forum WELL ATTENDED The Forum of the N. A. A. C. P. held an interesting and well attended meeting at St. John’s A. M. E. church last Sunday afternoon. George Wells Parker delivered an able address on “The Basis for Permanent Peace,” which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Mr. Parker gave a careful analysis of the causes leading up to the war, which might be epitomized as commercial jealousy. He empha- 1 sized the difficulties to be settled at I the peace table centering around “a ‘ League of Nations” and “the Free- ! dom of the Seas." His conclusion was ; that the only basis for permanent j peace would be popular control of wealth and the submission of the ques- i tion of the declaration of war to the vote of the people. With this policy | of every nation of the world peace would be pei-manent. The forum will meet at 4 o’clock next Sunday afternoon when the fol lowing program will be given: Chorus, “Come Where the Lilies Blow;” recitation by Miss Rachel Woods; solo, by Miss Ray Middleton; recitation by Miss lone Lewis; male quartette; paper, “Progress of a Race;” Miss Iola Brown, and a solo by Miss Darlene Duvall. I CHORAL CLUB GIVES DANCING PARTY The Choral club, a newly organized musical association composed of sev eral of Omaha’s leading young ladies, gave an informal dancing party New Year’s night at the residence of Mrs. J.

The sick of the church are Mrs. L. Smith Davis and Mrs. Cooper and daughter. We hope for their speedy recovery. Old Cupid has been quite busy in our ranks the past few weeks. Among those who have fallen victims to his darts are Mr. J. Gorham and Miss Elizabeth Gipson, Mr. Wm. Baker and Miss Beatrice Kyle, Mr. L. Hatcher and Mrs. Hawkins and Mr. Clarence j Trent and Mrs. Susie Smith. As the story goes, may they live happily j ever after. Regular services next Lord’s day. Your place is waiting for you.
