THINKS DEMPSEY WILL NOT FIGHT WILLS Alleges $25,000.00 Was a Cheap Price for the Delay in an Encounter, Which Will Never Take Place. MAY 17, 1923 Virginia State Library. VOLUME XLII, NO. 49 THINK NO DECLARE STA Gives Reas Meet Alleges $25,0 in an Enco By Jack Lawrence, in New York Herald-Tribune. "Jack Dempsey has not the slightest intention of fighting Harry Wills or anyone else, and his recent signing with the Negro challenger at Niles, Mich., for a titular bout to be held somewhere in the West next September was merely a publicity stunt designed to save a film known as 'Manhattan Madness,' in which the champion and his wife, Estelle Taylor, were the co-stars." This assertion was made by a wealthy business man of South Bend, Ind., and Chicago, who arrived here yesterday, and who declares that he was invited to become a member of the alleged syndicate which is supposed to be backing Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoters of the bout. He says he was told that he would not have to put up any money, but would only be asked to lend his name and moral support to the project. The Westerner asked that his name be withheld for business reasons, but produced correspondence in the shape of telegraphs and letters to prove that he had been invited to associate himself with the promotion of the heavyweight championship battle to be staged at Michigan City, Benton Harbor or possibly Chicago next year. "I believe that the South Bend and Chicago business men whose names have been mentioned in connection with the promotion of the Dempsey-Wills fight really think that it is going to come off," said the visitor yesterday. "It may be that Wills and his manager, Paddy Mullins, are laboring under the same delusion. I don't know about that, but I do know that neither Dempsey nor Floyd Fitzsimmons have any idea that the fight will ever take place. Dempsey is going to retire with the title next fall, after it has been demonstrated that his proposed match with Wills cannot take place. Dempsey Actually Retired. "Even in retirement the title is worth more to him than no title at all, and he is well aware of this fact. He is going to do exactly what Benny Leonard did as lightweight champion, except that he is not going to excuse himself zy saying "that his mother asked him to quit the ring. He is going to tell the world that he did his level best to bring about a meeting with Harry Wills, and that it simply couldn't be done. He will then point out that there are no other worth-while contenders in sight and for that reason he has decided to retire undefeated. As a matter of fact, Jack Dempsey is retired right now. "I do not think that Dempsey is afraid of Wills or any other fighter, but he is afraid that he might lose his title in some way—through a foul or something like that—and he knows that without the title he would not amount to much. I am told that Dempsey has informed a few close friends that he has fought his last fight. Dempsey has no illusions as to his own standing in the community. He is well aware of his own unpopularity. I think he is more unpopular on the Pacific Coast, where he lives, than he is in the East. When the audience in a boxing club will hiss and boo the heavyweight champion of the world when he is introduced from the ring there must be something wrong. "I witnessed the booing in Cali- 1. Indicate the setting. fornia, Dempsey's adopted state. As a matter of fact, I was in Los Angeles on business when I was first approached in connection with the match that Floyd Fitzsimmons is supposed to be promoting. I did a little investigating out there and learned a lot of things. "I understand that there is more than $1,000,000 invested in the Dempsey-Taylor pictures entitled "Manhattan Madness," and that the film hasn't earned a penny. It has been a complete failure wherever it has been presented and hasn't sold at all. The producers of that picture went to Dempsey and told him that they attributed the "flop" of this picture to the fact that the public believed him to be afraid of Harry Wills. The producers were desperate and demanded that he do something immediately in connection with the Wills challenge. "They got their heads together and the signing at Niles, Mich., was the result, Floyd Fitzsimmons, an old friend, co-operating. Whether this business of signing up for a fight that is never going to take place has helped the picture any I am unable to say. I do know, however, that as a vaudville attraction Dempsey became such a poor drawing card that an engagement he had on a certain circuit was cancelled. I understand that since the signing at Niles he is to go through with the theatrical tour. Out in Los Angeles and in San Francisco they will lay you odds that Dempsey never will fight again." Bears Out Lyons' Assertion. All of the above would seem to substantiate rumors that have been drifting about New York for many weeks. It would also seem to bear out the assertion repeatedly made by Senator "Wild Bill" Lyons, one of Dempsey's closest friends, to the effect that the heavyweight champion has "hung up his gloves for good." 'According to the Herald-Tribune's informant, the $25,000 paid to Wills for "training expenses," following the signing at Niles, was merely to keep hi mquiet for a year, during which time it was hoped that the Dempsey motion picture projects would get on their feet. Close friends of Paddy Mullins said yesterday that the manager of Wills is already beginning to suspect that the recent transactions at South Bend and Niles were not all that they appeared to be on the surface. At any rate, Mullins is now on a hurried trip to Michigan City, where he is to have a conference with Floyd Fitzsimmons. The Michigan promoter was supposed to come here this week, but is said to have changed his mind. Floyd, it is believed, did not care to face the barrage of searching questions that would have been hurled at him on his arrival in New York. Wills also left yesterday for the West, ostensibly to box an exhibition in Detroit. Mrs. Wills, who is regarded as Harry's "business manager," accompanied him. WEDDING RECEPTION. The wedding reception of Mr. and Mrs. George Wallace Epps will take place on Friday evening, October 23 1925 at their residence, 723 W. Clay Street, from 8 to 11 P. M. Frienda invited. No cards RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1925 AN APPEAL TO HELP TUBERCU LAR PATIENTS. Again the chairman of the Health Committee of the Negro Organization Society makes an earnest appeal to ministers, teachers, lodges and all colored leaders of the Old Dominion to call upon the people in your community to rally in raising money to make Virginia's quota $10,000 (ten thousand dollars) by November 5, 1925, for the new building at Piedmont Sanatorium, Burkeville, Va., to accommodate the large waiting list of tubercular patients. It is grievous to know that so many people in the State with tuberculosis are waiting at home for a bed in the sanatorium. Every city and county in the State have been given an amount of the ten thousand dollars to raise. Ministers of several of our largest churches in Tidewater have agreed to raise $100 each. The Negro Organization Society is desirous that the entire quota be raised and reported by or before the annual convention in Staunton, Va., November 11th-13th. Hence the Health Committee is appealing seriously to all leaders to take this matter under serious consideration for the sake of afflicted humanity and seek to form plans to put your community's quota over and send reports to Rev. M. E. Davis, 1245 Glasgow Street, Portsmouth, Va., chairman of the State's committee, by November 5th. If no one seems to be raising the money in your city or county, you take it up and write Rev. M. E. Davis; he will supply you with necessary information. FULTON NOTES. We feel very proud of the marked improvement in our church and Sunday school, both from a numerical and financial standpoint.

It will remain here four days. Arrangements will be made to give demonstrations of practical methods of First Aid in local schools, to shopmen and other railway employees, the police, firemen and the general public UNION WINS FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON While a loyal and enthusiastic band of grid devotees were thrilled and chilled intermittently, one of the most colorful episodes in Virginia Union's football history was enacted on historic Hovey last Saturday as the crafty Union Panther outwitted and vanquished A. & T.'s Farmer brigade from North Carolina by a score of 5 to 0. A sensational 45-yard end run by Shields, Union's brilliant halfback; a spectacular placement kick from the 40-yard line by a 17-year-old quarterback, Breaux; an unexpected safety completed by Ruffin, Tobin and Houston, makes the story of Union's first triumph over the Tarheelers on Hovey field read like a fair tale. Coach Harvey's newly welded together Panther "machine" worked smoothly, and flashed brilliantly at times, with the famous backs, Boffman and Shields, making consistent gains, W. A. Smith bucking the line for yardage, Washington punting well, and Ruffin, Ridley, Tobin, star center, and Anderson were outstanding at line play. On Coach Byron's eleven, Coleman punted hard and ran well, Lane was the next best threat, Bell ran the team well, and Wilson was good at offensive play. Union made twice as many "first and tens" as A. & T., and several times when in striking distances the Panther was stopped. A. & T.'s cross-buck through the line was their best play. The first quarter was featured by Coleman's 7-yard run, Shields' 45-yard dash around right end, and hard line fighting. Boffman wiggled through A's line first for four and then eleven yards and then nine yards. Washington gained four yards. Union's men threw A. & T. player, who received their own point on their three-yard line, back across the goal line for a safety. Score, 2 to 0, Union. Wash kicked off 57 yards in the third quarter, Union, and A. & T. penalized for offside. Breaux's toe accurately registered placement kick from 40-yard line and the score was 5 to 0, Union. The last quarter was featured with good defensive play, with Ruffin and Gardner, of Union, flashing at the end positions. Doneghy, "Cute" Carter of Howard, and Penn of Virginia N. & I.

If your left foot develops an ache, the medicos order an X-Ray of your teeth: if you have a pain in your right ear, they X-Ray the interior lobe of your pelican bone. Nine times out of ten they find out what's causing all the trouble—and it's apt to be anything from an infected sinus to a horseshoe nail you swallowed at the age of three. This is no exaggeration. In Cleveland, a boy of 16 was taking his school board medical examination. He appeared perfectly normal except that his left lung was not functioning. The X-Ray was made—and revealed a three-inch nail, imbedded in the lung lobe. The lad had swallowed the nail when he was an infant. Nature had protected him by covering it with a hard mucous fibre, and there it had amd for years under the arm part of him without but otherwise doing no harm. Needle in Hand Another patient, a woman, had run a needle into her thumb. Her doctor had tried to cut it out, but to no avail. The needle could not be found. X-Ray discovered that it had worked its way over between her third and fourth fingers. One reason for the increased use of the growing realization on the part of the medical profession that an infection in one part of the body may be the cause of some serious condition in a totally different part. Doctor Explains This, according to Dr. O. U. Singer, National Laboratories head. "Any infection," he explained, "drains right through the system. No matter where it starts, there's no telling where or how it will end. "One patient was brought in on a wheelchair. He was paralyzed from the waist down and had been told he would never again be able to walk. I want to be X Rayed from head to foot, he said. "We never got beyond his head. Our plates showed a bad sin in fection. He had this treated—and today he could put up a good foot race. "Teeth are always under suspicion. Hundreds of doctors order the teeth X-Rayed before they even attempt a diagnosis "An abscessed tooth—that is a tooth with a pus sack at its root—may cause anything from blindness to insanity. And you don't even know it's there." "Scores of well known medical cases back up Dr Singers contention." Tooth Killed Roosevelt It is now an established medical that coronary heart disease is a death fatal. ```markdown ``` The immediate cause was "pulmonary embolism," a blood clot formed in the lungs, brought about by poison from a tooth, abscessed for twenty years. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. is taking no chance of letting his children suffer their famous grandfather's fate. All their teeth have been X-Rayed. So have the teeth of former Secretary of State Hughes, Secretary of War Weeks and over half the senators and congressmen in Washington. Nearly fifty thousand sets of teeth have been X-Rayed at the National Laboratories within the past four years.

The only way to make the mass of mankind see the beauty of justice is by showing them in plain terms the consequences of injustice. —S. Smith THREE SIGNIFICANT addresses, dealing with the racial question have been delivered recently. One was by President Calvin Coolidge at Omaha, Nebraska, and the other two by Lord Willingdon, former Governor at Bombay at the Church of England Conference and Hon. J. H. Oldham, Secretary of the International Missionary Council, at Eastborne, England. President Coolidge said: "In a conflict which engaged all the major nations of the earth and lasted for a period exceeding four years, there could be no expectation of material gains. War in its very essence means destruction. Never before were contending peoples so well equipped with every kind of internal engine calculated to spread desolation on land and over the face of the deep. Our country is only but now righting itself and beginning a moderate but steady recovery from the great economic loss which it sustained. That tremendous debt must be liquidated through the laborious toll of our people. Modern warfare becomes more and more to mean utter loss, destruction and desolation of the best that there is of any people, its valiant youth and its accumulated treasure. If our country secured any benefit, if it met with any gain, it must have been in moral and spiritual values. It must be not because it made its fortune but because it found its soul. Others may disagree with me, but in spite of some incidental and trifling difficulties it is my firm opinion that America has come out of the war with a stronger determination to live by the rule of righteousness and pursue the course of truth and justice in both our domestic and foreign relations. No one can deny that we have protected the rights of our citizens, laid a firm foundation for our institutions of liberty, and made our contribution to the cause of civilization and humanity. In doing all this we found that though of many different nationalities, our people had a spiritual bond. They were all Americans" "When we look over the rest of the world, in spite of all its devastation there is encouragement to believe it is on a firmer moral foundation than it was in 1914. Much of the old despotism has been swept away. While some of it comes creeping back deguised under new names, no one can doubt that the general admission of the right of the people to self-government has made tremendous progress in nearly every quarter of the globe. In spite of the staggering losses and the grievous burden of taxation, there is a new note of hope for the individual to be more secure in his rights, which is unmistakably clearer than ever before. "With all the troubles that beset the Old World, the former cloud of fear is evidently not now so appalling. It is impossible to believe that any nation now feels that it could better itself by war, and it is apparent to me that there has been a very distinct advance in the policy of peaceful and honorable adjustment of international differences. War has become less probable; peace has become more secure. "The price which has been paid to bring about this new condition is utterly beyond comprehension. We cannot see why it should not have come in orderly and peaceful methods without the attendant shock of fire and sword and carnage. We only know that it is here. We believe that on the ruins of the old order's better civilization is being constructed. It will be observed that the distinguished statesman does not say that we have protected the rights of all of our citizens. He confines his utterances to general terms. He says further: "We have been attempting to re- lieva ourselves and the other nations from the old theory of competitive armaments. In spite of all the arguments in favor of great military forces, no nation ever had an army large enough to guarantee it against attack in time of peace or to insure its victory in time of war. No nation ever will. Peace and security are more likely to result from fair and honorable dealings and mutual agreements for a limitation of armaments among nations, than by any attempt at competition in squadrons and but rulers. No doubt this country could, if it wished to spend more money, make a better military force, but that is only part of the problem which confronts our Government. The real question is whether spending more money to make a better military force would really make a better country. I would be the last to dsparage the military art. It is an honorable and patriotic calling of the highest rank. But I can see no merit in any unnecessary expenditure of money to hire men to build fleets and carry muskets when international relations and agreements permit the turning of such resources into the making of good roads, the building of better homes, the promotion of education, and all the other arts of peace which minister to the advancement of human welfare. Happily, the position of our country is such among the other nations of the world that we have been and shall be warranted in proceeding is this's direction". It seems to us that this argument's practically unanswerable. And again he speaks truly and commandingly: "Our forefathers had seen so much of militarism, and suffered so much from it, that they desired to banish it forever. They believed and declared in at least one of their State constitutions that the military power should be subordinate to and governed by the civil authority. It is for this reason that any organization of men in the military service bent on inflaming the public mind for the purpose of forcing Government action through the pressure of public opinion is an exceedingly dangerous undertaking and precedent. This is so whatever form it might take, whether it be for the purpose of influencing the Executive, the Legislature or the heads of departments. It is for the civil authority to deter mine what appropriations shall be granted, what appointments shall be made, and what rules shall be adopted for the conduct of its armed forces. Whenever the military power starts dctating to the civil anthority, by whatsoever means adopted, the liberties of the country are beginning to end. National defense should at all times be supported, but any form of militarism should be resisted"; He continues: "But it will always be impossible to harmonize justice and war. It is always possible to purchase materials with money, but patroltism cannot be purchased. Unless the people are willing to defend their country because of their belief in it, because of their affection for it, and because it is representative of their home, their country cannot be defended. If we are looking for a more complete reign of justice, a more complete supremacy of law, a more complete social harmony, we must seek it in the paths of peace. Progress in these directions under the present order of the world is not likely to be made except during a state of domestic and international tranquility. One of the great questions before the nations today is how to promote such tranquility". This declaring is an all pervading question and he proceeds to answer it. He says: "No man's patriotism was impugned or service questioned because of his racial origin, his political opinion or his religious convictions. Immigrants and sons of immigrants from the central European countries fought side by side with those who descended from the countries which were our allies; with the sons of equatorial Africa; and with the red men of our own aboriginal population, all, of them equally proud of the name Americans. We must not in times of peace, permit ourselves to lose any part from this structure of patriotic unity." If then there existed a recognition of equality of all races in wartime effort, then there must be the exercise of equality of all races in peace-time vocations. The cry of racial superiority must give way to a practical demonstration of individual superiority, whether that superiority exists in rich or poor, black or white, foreigner or native-born American. President Coolidge continues: "If we are to have that harmony and tranquility, that union of spirit which is the foundation of real national genius and national progress we must all realize that there are true Americans who did not happen to be born in our section of the country, who do not attend our place of religious worship, who are not of our racial stock, or who are not proficient in our language. If we are to create on this continent a free Republic and an enlightened civilization that will be capable of reflecting the true greatness and glory of mankind, it will be necessary to regard these differences as accidental and unessential. We shall have to look beyond the outward manifestations of race and creed. Divine Providence has not bestowed upon any race a monopoly of patriotism and character. This is sound gospel. It is the gospel of peace. H_e says further: "It is for these reasons that it seems clear that the results of the war will be lost and we shall only be entering a period of preparation for another conflict unless we can de- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA mobilize the racial antagonisms, fears, hatreds and suspicions and create an attitude of toleration in the public mind of the peoples of the earth. If our country is to have any position of leadership I trust it may be in that direction, and I believe that the place where it should begin is at home. Let us cast off our hatreds. Let us candidly accept our treaties and our natural obligations of peace. We know and every one knows that these old systems, antagonisms and reliance on force have failed". Lord Willingdon was both emphatic and specific in what he said in England and the expressions of Hon. J. H. Oldham were equally so. The telegraph report is as follows: "A white member of Parliament must meet on terms of absolute equality those whom, to put the post on quite, frankly he has previously regarded as inferior", declared the former Governor of the Indian provinces in a remarkable address on race problems. "It is imperative", he said, "that this problem be solved by peaceful methods and not by a clash of races, which would be the ghastliest tragedy the world has ever known" The policy of a united white front against peoples of other colors was unsparingly denounced by J. H. Oldham, who has been secretary of the International Missionary Council since 1921, and who has traveled all over the world. 'Let us face the facts squarely,' said Mr. Oldham. A solid white front certainly and inevitably means a solid yellow front, a solid brown front and a solid black front and that can have only one end—it means war'. t The dangers of a vast race war vividly painted by others, less qualified, however, to speak with authority, made a profound impression on the congress. Lord Willingdon declared that the war had convinced the colored man that the white man's civilization had many defects and that the domination of the white man was threatened in many countries. In his address, which is likely to have a strong reaction in India, Lord Willingdon warned that because of certain incidents the educated people of India were beginning to doubt the sincerity of British assurances as to their political advancement. "I can convince," he went on. "If we wish to continue our association with and influence upon those countries which the white races have developed largely for the ultimate benefit of the colored man, that it must be in a spirit of absolute equality and not by arrogating to ourselves an attitude of race superiority. The white man must no longer dominate the colored man even for his own good." The same warning was emphasized by Mr. Oldham, who said that no one could look out upon the world today without realizing the deep and growing antagonism between the races. The rivalry for markets, he said, and for access to sources of raw material was bound to become more and more a ground for antagonism between the Eastern and Oriental peoples and he pointed out that the exclusive immigration policies of the British Dominions and the United States Empire had produced a tion. Mr. Oldham declared that while there was nothing in common between Islam and Bolshevism many leading Moslems were now inclined to throw in the'r' lot with Bolshevism for the so'e reason that the Bolshevists treated them as equals while the Western nations did not. A vehement plea was made by a turbanned Indian Christian for the abolition of the white man's privileges. While President Coolidge was not so definite in his utterances it is evident from the language used that all of the speakers had the same idea in mind and were endeavoring to outline a course that would lead this and other countries away from war rather than in the direction of another world war conflagration. The distinguished American specified equal and exact justice to all as the most direct way to accomplish this much desired result. So much for war. It is a losing proposition, when viewed from any angle. President Coolidge has the facts and the experience to prove it. "NEGRO ORATORS AND THEIR ORATIONS." FEW PEOPLE realize fully the magnitude and future effect of the literary work Carter G. Woodson. Ph.D. is doing under the title of Associated Publishers. It is centering the eyes of the literary world upon the achievements of Negro leaders, scientists, authors, orators and philosophers, as well as historians, who have gone on before. His last and most unique production is a 700 page, cloth covered work entitled, "Negro Orators and Their Orations". It is in a form that should be in every library and enables one to have at his fingers' ends some of the ablest oratorical productions any race has ever produced. He dedicates this work to the memory of his sister, Susie Woodson. He goes back to the First Protest, Negro Slavery by "Othelo" orations by Peter Williams, Jas.

A VERITABLE MASTERPIECE THE EDITORIAL in the Richmond Va. News-Leader of the 9th inst. felicitating Colonel William H.

It reads just as though the writer himself had passed the century mark and had been an "every day" companion of the disinguished Virginia during all of these years when as a matter of fact, he is but a boy, an archim, in comparison with one of the most influential citizens this commonwealth has ever produced. In this article, Dr. Freeman discloses his historic knowledge of events extending over a period of nearly a century and brings this information down to the present time.

(Preston News Service) MUSICAL AMERICA GOES ABROAD Percy Grainger (white), one of the world's greatest pianists, has returned from Europe with the astounding information that jazz music is popular all over Europe. "Jazz" says Mr. Grainger, "is the natural music of America, and owes its popularity to its thorough originality". Just how American "Selects" will take Mr. Grainger's statement to quite a question when it is considered that "Jazz" is the child of Ragtime and Ragtime is the musical offspring of American Negroes. Thus if Negroes are the originators of honest to goodness American music—and they must be, if Mr. Grainger says so—it is not strange that they are so thoroughly familiar with the pulse beats of American temperament and American psychology; for, alas, their music product has been pilfered and taken abroad to delight not only frequenters of the Parisian Montemarte but into London Music Hall, Scandanavia, Russia and so on. When Will Marion Cook wrote his famous "Emancipation Day" and Harry T. Burleigh assisted Anton Dvorak compose the wonderfiction "New World Symphony" neither Cook nor Burleigh dreamed that they, as American Negro musical geniuses would later be given credit for popularizing American originality across the Alps and the Rhine. They probably believed that a European battlefield life would be the only background over which American Negroes might take some original American products to Europe, and that a army rifle rather than a moaning saxophon would carry their message of Americanism across the seas. Thanks to Mr. Grainger, however, credit has been given where credit is due. And only regret is that more Americans of Mr. Grainger's hue will not take inventory over here of worthy accomplishments of their fellowmen whose ancestors were brought from the Dark Continent. Perchance such an inventory would show conclusively that additional American virtues, other than Jazz Music, have similarly become popular when thoughtful people have taken cognizance of the originality and the abilities of exemplar Americans, black bronze, or otherwise, tinted by color.

The evolution quania has gotten as far North as Baltimore, and Johns Hopkins University proudly announces that twenty "sure-nuff" monkeys are on their way from the Himalaya mountains of Asia to Baltimore, where an exhaustive attempt will be made to find out for once and for all the real truth about the origin of man. Several white scientists who have charge of the experiment, will keep records of the habits of the monkeys, together with their births, deaths, parental instincts, and social relationships; and the monkey colony will be carefully compared with those of men. Perchance the monkey charts and mortality statistics will be introduced as expert evidence when the Scopes case comes from Tennessee for final adjudication. Not being very well acquainted with Asiatic monkeys, we do not know just what they will do under the restricted environment which will be carefully shaped for them at Johns Hopkins University. We are venturing to suggest, however, some activities which we firmly believe they would not engage in even though they were given a chance. We are confident they would not become consumers of bootleg liquor; nor do we believe they would join a synchling party, though they can find some excellent instructors on this side of the ocean. While a trained ape is very intelligent, we are convinced that one would never develop sufficient thought to recognize color distinctions. If a monkey were highly trained we don't believe he would refuse aid to an injured man, as was recently the case in Memphis. Tenn. We certainly wish the Johns Hopkins scientists great success in their experiments and trust that they may achieve results which will be of use to the scientific and civilized world. But we would like to add the hope that Johns Hopkins may, too, add a class of twenty colored scholars to its medical and other departments for careful study and observation and opportunity.

Once in seven years it rains in the desert stretching north from Guerecif to the edge of the Riff mountains. The French have been counting on the aridity of this plain to execute an extensive cavalry operation. Unfortunately this happens to be the seventh year. It has rained for four days in the desert. It has rained all along the front. It means the much-talked-of rainy season has entered into action—earlier than usual and even beyond the mountains to which it is normally confined. It is the most significant development in this period of the war. The French have shown that the enormous forces they have concentrated in Morocco are sufficient to overwhelm the Riffians, but the enemy they now face until spring is not Abd-el-Krim but his ally, nature. What can this new enemy actually do against the armed might of man is the all important question upon which the campaign of the next six months depends. Here nature is a much more redoubtable foe than the native warriors, she aids. Aeroplanes against the Riffians are helpless, are covering before their pilots' tents like wet hens caught in a storm.

The camel here well deserves the name ship of the desert, for that amazing beast alone can cross the sea of mud which the desert has now become. The first shower fell last Sunday and since then the rain has scarcely ever stopped. It means practically an end of operations until spring, but though the end has come too soon for the French commanders, they have this consolation that they hold the keys to the Riff and the route is barred along which the Riffians last spring invaded the valley of the Ouergha. French Cavalry Near Ajdir. Fez, French Morocco, Oct. 10. An official communique today says French cavalry, advancing north of Kifane, has reached Sidi Bou Robkab, twelve miles south of Ajdir, former capital of Abd-el-Krim. The political section of the French general headquarters is busily engaged in attempting to use the recent successes over the Moorish rebels for converting the dissident tribesmen and herding them into the French fold. It seeks also to obtain the submission of other tribes which hitherto never have been pacified. Much in this direction is said to have been accomplished north of Kifane. The inhabitants of the territory of the Metalza and Ghezania tribesmen are said to be willing to come under the Sultan's authority provided they are guaranteed against reprisals by Abd-el-Krim. At French headquarters in the whole region east of the line running from Adjir to Kifane will be effected within a comparatively short time. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Tribesmen Submit to Spaniards. Madrid, Oct. 10.—The communication issued at the war office at midnight says that 500 families of the Metalza tribe have submitted to Spanish rule. (Special Cable to The New York Times.) Paris, Oct. 10.—The French government has issued instructions to the American aviators forming the Sherifinai air guard to return to France in two weeks' time for rest and occasional practice in flying, due to the impracticability of Morocco for flying under present conditions. It is intended to send the aviators back to Morocco when the weather is fine again, which may be the middle of January, but until then it is unnecessary to maintain airmen and equipment where it cannot be used. The State Department early in September called the attention of the American diplomatic agent at Tangier to sections 5282 and 4090 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, with the intimation that these laws might be violated by the American aviators who had joined the French forces in Morocco. The first section prohibits, under penalties of fine and imprisonment, any American citizen from enlisting or causing others to enlist in the service of a foreign state, on the territory of the United States, or to leave the said territory for such a purpose. The second section cited empowers American diplomatic representatives in countries where America enjoys extra-territorial rights, as in Morocco, to prevent by writes the enlistment of American citizens for service against a state which is on friendly relations with the United States.

WILLING TO GIVE FREE SAMPLES TO ALL READERS OF THIS PAPER TO PROVE MERITS OF HIS DISCOVERY. Several years ago, in Gold Valley, California, two boys were playing a game of rock battle and accidentally sruck a middle aged woman. Dr. J. C. Delano (the founder of the World Famous Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion of the brain. Dr. Delano started in on his new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results: at and at the end of thirty days, the patient was not only completely cured but her hair over the bruised spot had grown to such a remarkable degree that it aroused the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano: so much so, that the doctor questioned her as to what she had been using on her hair during the treatment. Her reply was that she had only been using the dentiment prescribed by the doctor. With the given information, the doctor started straightway into deep research to find out more about the treatment and its connections with the roots of hair and after experimenting for twenty seven months, Dr. Delano announced that he had discovered a certain herb which when macerated with certain chemicals, and mixed together with pure Cocoanut Oil and Californa's Pine Tar, would produce a healthy luxurant growth of hair. After finding that the experiment had proved successful in ninety nine out of one hundred cases, Dr. Delano placed his preparation on the market under the name of Dr. Delano's Coco Tar Hair Grower. From that day until the present time the sale has been phenomenal and uninterrupted success. In Dr. Delano's research, he discovered that falling hair was due to simple infection (Sebum), and that hair roots very seldom d'o. Remove the infected Sebum and the hair will grow—or science has shown that under most bald scalps the hair root's live. Dr. Delano is so confident that his Coco-Tar Hair Grower's superior to any other on the market, that he has decided to give a free sample to every reader of this paper who will send his or her name and address to Dept. 65, THE HERBS OF LIFE INDIAN MEDICINE CO. 1420-24 South St., Philadelphia, Pa.

The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:—"This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spiritited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen.

THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY, THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the aftors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
