THE RICHMOND PLANET THE GREAT WAR IN MOROCCO, AFRICA. Seven Africans Hold the Spanish Fleet, French and Spanish Airmen and 5,000 Troops at Bay for Three Weeks. One Hundred African Moors Prevent the Advance of Whole Spanish and French Armies. VOLUME XLII, NO. 50 THE GREAT MORO Seven African Fleet, Free men and Bay One Hundred the Advance and The Baltimore Sun on Monday, October 19th 1925 published the following account under The Sun and North American Syndicate. Its accuracy cannot rightfully be questioned. (Vincent Sheean, the only newspaper correspondent with the Riff armies, has succeeded in getting a courier through to Tangier with another series of dispatches on the war in North Africa. Mr. Sheean was at Ajfer, the Riff capital about a week before it was entered by the Spanish forces. His message reveals that Abdel-Krim had evacuated it so that on September 23 only seven active men remained in the city, which the combined Spanish and French forces continued to bombard terrifically from sea and air for three weeks, until their landing party was finally able to enter the empty town on October 1.) AJDIR, Sept. 24 by Courier to Tangier. Oct. 19—The French and Spanish fleets, combined with their air brigades, are now making their last determined effort to crush the Riffian power before the winter season ends, this year's campaign. Here in the Aldir rɔɪjɔɪn is where the Nationalist lender established his capital four years ago. He is now making what may be his last fight for the independence of the R'iffan nation. The spectacle of this battle against terrific odds recalls legends of an older and more heroic day. For here again Arminius faces the Roman legions and David defies Goliath. ALLIED FLEET WAITS IN BAY. This dispatch is written on the bill side at Aldr. i. the jshade of a clump of cactus. Before me Alhucemas Bay lies glittering under a brilliant morning sun and across the mouth of the bay are strung the white and gray hulls of the FrahoeSpanish fleet. In the middle of the blue bay rises the white island fortress of Alhucemas. That island fortress, which adds a final touch to the beauty of the sea is not purely ornamental today, however. It is beching angrily in steady fire directed against this placid hillside. The cruisers out there are also favoring us with a regular fire, which I know by yesterday's experience. Overhead three Spanish airplanes are circling noisily about dropping bombs at fairly regular intervals. Just underneath me and slightly to the left is a Riffian battery firing busily on the fortress. All together it makes a pretty continuous din, which interferes seriously with conversation. SEVEN SOLDIERS DEFEND CITY. This is a great pity, for the garron and I have a little private joke which we like to exchange frequently. The joke is at the expense of either the Franco-Spanish forces or the Riffans, but anyway it is extremely funny. Here it is: The total strength of this garrison against which the might of France and Spain has been exercised for the past three weeks is exactly eleven men! That is, counting me, and I do nothing but look on, and two telephonists who do nothing but talk. There is also one cook boy. about 12 years old, who is always lying down grooming with a headache. That makes seven actual fighting men here at Ajdir. They are artillery and infantry combined and the crew on the Spanish cruisers will bear witness that their aim is good. Against these seven men are concentrated about one-third of the French and Spanish fleets, practically all the fire from Albucesca fort and twelve hours' daily bombing from airplanes. The Franco-Spanish allies never have less than three planes bombing here and once yesterday afternoon they had seven REAL FRONT FAR AWAY The real front, where every available able-bodied Rifflin is concentrated today, lies four miles farther west toward Cape Moro Neuvu, but French and Spanish do not seem to know it. The artillery here and farther around the semicircle of hills which edge Alhucemas Bay makes a brave showing that the allied commanders evidently believe Ajdir and other posts are heavily garrisoned. L entertains us to imagine what the French admiral would say if he knew that h's fire and air bombs are being wasted on barren, deserted hillsides. The total strength of she defenders of all posts around Alhucemas Bay does not exceed one hundred men, all artillerymen. The civilian population was ordered to retire when the present action began, and the mili- (Continued on page 5) SHARON WILL CELEBRATE DEBT RELEASE WITH RENVAL A condidual invitation is extended to the general public to join with us in celebrating the signal blessings which God has vouchecated unto this branch of His Zion in permitting us to clear our church home of the bonded indebentness that stood against our struggling congregation for more than a quarter of a century.

An Arrest In a Cemetery. An unusual scene took place last Sunday afternoon in old Mechanics Cemetery, Barton Heights, after the funeral of Deacon Thornton Wyatt, one of the oldest and most respected members of the First Baptist Church. His son, Thomas H. Wyatt, formerly of this city, but now of Philadelphia, had come here to attend the funeral and was with the party of mourners in the cemetery, when just as Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson was about to get into the car, in which he had ridden to the cemetery, he was approached by Funeral Director Price and asked to take a seat in another car. A WHITE OFFICER. He did so and as he looked around observed a white officer talking to Thomas H. Wyatt and enter the car in which he was to have returned. The party went to the Second Police Station where Wyatt remained until both could be secured for him. This arrest in the cemetery was caused by John H. Braxton and Walter D. Jones. Enquiry developed the fact that about thirteen years ago, to be exact, February 29, 1912. Thomas H. Wyatt had qualified as guardian in Chessfield county with John H. Braxton and Walter D. Jones as bondsmen. WANTED ONE THOUSAND He failed to pay the money over and Braxton and Jones had to make good the money. In order to hold Wynn, they had a warrant for embezzlement of $1,000 issued for him and it was served on him in the cemetery Sunday afternoon 18th ins. at his father's funeral. Attorney William F. Denny represented the complainants. ...Another party in another case wore out a similar warrant and when the case came up last Monday morning in Judge Ingram's court, the Chesterfield authorities were not permitted to have him. Judge Ingram continued the case until October 28th. Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr. represented Wynat. He secured bait --- The Fifth Street Baptist Church under the able leadership of Rev. T. J. King, D. D., the pastor, staged a successful ground-breaking and rededication rally last Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock with the able and distinguished pulit orator, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, of Washington, D. C., delivering the sermon at the True Reformers' Hall. His effort was brief, but magnificent and inspiring. At the lot on Fifth and Jackson Streets the ground was broken with impressive ceremonies. Dr. W. T. Johnson was master of ceremonies and Rev. R. H. Johnson prayed the consecration prayer. The contractors have promised the delivery of the structure by next May. Two money raising clubs are busily engaged in accumulating enough money to meet urgent obligations. PROMINENT MAN HELD IN BIG LIOUOR STEAL. R. B. Haymes, a well known business man of this city who recently removed from First Street to 414 N. Second Street, where he has established a "U-Drive" taxi service was arrested Saturday, 17th on. on a warrant asked for by the Detective Bureau of New York City and held for extradition. He was not allowed ball, although it could have been furnished, in any reasonable amount. The case was called in the Police Court. last Monday morning with Judge Ingram presiding. The New York detective appeared against him and a telegram was presented, showing that he was wanted in New York. SERVANTS CHARGED. TOO. The detective stated that he was wanted in connection with a robbery of the wing cellar of a wealthy New Yorker, from which cellar $60,000 worth of choice Hiquors had been stolen, an acetylene torch being used to burn away the locks and bolts to secure an entrance and that this took place in collusion with the servants. It was alleged that the whiskey was soed in Richmond by R. B. Hayes. Attorney H. M. Smith, Attorney Alfred Krish and Attorney J. R. Pollard represented Hayes. Counsel wanted to know if these charges were based on the personal knowledge of the detective. He replied n the negative. HEAVY BXIL Mr. Smith questioned him closely to his authority and being satisfied on this score, asked for ball. Despite the vigorous protests of counsel, Judge Ingram fixed the ball in the sum of $25,000. The accused was remanded to jail pending the arrival of the extradition papers from New York, when counsel will attack her validity and endeavor to have Governor Trinkle refuse to honor them. In Memoriam MORSE—In loving remembrance of a dear wife and mother, Edith R. Morse, formerly of Richmond, Va., who departed this life, October 26 1919. Her saintly instructions and upright example are cherished more and more as the years go by. Our mother! when we learned that thou was dead Say, wast thou conscious of the tears we shed? Hover'd thy spirit o'er thy sorrowing ones Wretched even then. Life's journey just begun? Perhaps thou gavest us, though unfeel a k'ss; Perhaps a tear, if souls can weep in bliss. Ab! that maternal smile! it answers — "Yes" Dear is the spot where Christians' pour; And sweet the strain which angels pour; Oh! why should we in anguish weep? They are not lost, but gone before By her devoted husband. MILES H. MORSE and CHILDREN Philadelphia, Pa. In Memoriam In loving memory of our mother Elizabeth Smith, who departed this life one year ago. HER CHILDREN. --- A branch up town was not dreamed of during Henry Cook's time, the well known down-town undertaker, who died many years ago. It remained for Funeral Director Robert C. Scott to give birth to the idea and 19 West Clay is the result. His funeral parlors there have been visited and appreciated and his many orders in the neighborhood have justified the venture. Call and see them. --- Mr. John D. Jones, who now resides at Hyde Park, Mass., called to see us this week. He will remain until tomorrow. He reports his family as being well. DR. EVANS PRESENTS REV.

Hatcher, returned from his trip to Washington, Pittsburgh and Braddock in great power. He preached, lectured and sang to great crowds at Wylie Avenue A. M. E., Fullerton Street, Christian and Missionary Alliance and Eberneezer and New Hope Baptist Churches. He was greatly refreshed by his trip and brought us a burning message on "Instant Salvation," at 11 A. M. at which time three men were gloriously converted and four persons united with us. At 8 P. M. his message on "Absalom the Might-Have Been," was deep and helpful. Mr. and Mrs. Brown, our white friends, who worship with us, paid the pastor great compliments as a preacher and teacher of the Word, Good crowds, fine fellowship and an offering of more than $150 was our blessings. Our rally spirit is fine. Watch us roll up $2,000.

PITTSBURGH COAL COMPANY IMPORTING SOUTHERN NEGRO MINERS (Preston News Service) Canonsburg, Pa., Oct. 23—With the arrival here Thursday of 15 miners, mostly Negroes, who expect to work in the Midland No. 1 mine of the Pittsburgh Coal Co., when it is reopened shortly, deputies were stationed at the mine and near company houses. Altogether 160 miners arrived here from the 50ers expecting to work in the mine, which is located two miles east of Canonsburg. --- You wouldn't know the place. This is the verdict of those who have visited the remodeled and renovated establishment of Funeral Director C. T. Hayes. The handsome chapel has been occupied by many bodies this week and he is gratified at the patronage he is receiving. His phone reaches to his bedside at all hours and he is prompt to respond to calls either in the night or daytime. NEGRO POPULATION OF RUSSIA IS LARGE. MOSCOW, Oct. 17—That Armenia, and other States of Caucasian Russia have a considerable Negro population is revealed in a statistical report prepared by the Near, East Relief. One of the villages of Armenian Negroes is located at Suchum, a famous old health resort on the Black Sea. Amercan Negroes have given small sums for the relief of these people during the post-war, and famine periods, but the Near East Relief states that all the Negro colonies in its territory are now prosperous, and are contributing largely to the economic restoration of the country. Negro colonies are so rare in Russia as to excite comment. The Armenian Negroes appear to have entered the country as slaves of the Cyrassian princes about 150 years ago. Later they were liberated and set on the land, adopting all the customs, manners and language of their neighbors. Their descendants of today are noted as rough riders and trainers of horses, and also have a reputation as musicians. The most eminent Negro in Russian history was General Abraham Hannibal, who came to Petrograd in 1705 as a slave. Exiled to Siberia he returned after many years as a wealthy land owner and rose to the highest honors in the Russian army. His grandson, Alexander Pushkin, is one of the greatest figures in Russian literature. MISS CUNNINGHAM BURIED IN DANVILLE, VA. DANVILLE VA. October 15—The entire community was shocked October 9th when Miss Wilkie Elizabeth Cunningham the much beloved daughter of our popular undertaker and our highly esteemed citizens, Mr. and Mrs. U. S. Cunningham passed away at Providence Hospital after a brief illness of five days. She had recently returned from Philadelphia, Pa., where she took a business course and was preparing to put it into practice when she was suddenly taken from us in the bloom of youth. The deepest sympathy from both colored and white had been extended to the grief stricken parents and only surviving sister, also the broken-hearted grandparents. The funeral took place Sunday from High Street Baptist Church, of which she was a member. The crowd was immense. Dr. W. Dr. T. Hall, the pastor, officiated. Rev. Dr. W. E. Carr read the obituary. Rev. Dr. G. W. Goode offered a fervent prayer. Rev. K. S. Logan worded hymn, "Asleep in Jesus". Two touching solos were sung by Mrs. Carolyn Washington and Mrs. C. C. Harvey. The active pail bearers were Messrs James E. Martin. George Franklin, Clarence Adams, William Bearers J. Maynard Falden and Dryle Luck. The flower-bearers were sixteen young ladies all of hers, who were dressed in white. The flowers were in profusion and very costly. Many came from out of town friends. She was buried in an ivory grey gripping edge couch, lined with white hooked satin. The handsome couch was placed in an airtight, sealed vault, which was re-sealed by Mr. U. S. Street and lowered by the undertaker into the moss-lined grave by the latest 'owering device. Mr John Cunningham, Mrs E. T. Sully, Miss Rose Sully, Mrs. Margaret Lipscombe. Miss Beatrice Lipscombe Mr. Clarence Cunningham, relatives, and all of Richmond, Va., also Miss Marvin Bonger of Roanoke, Va.; Mrs. and Missee Palmer of Milton, N. C. and Mrs. Maud Holbrook, of Durham, N. C. and Mrs Penn, of Reidsville N. C. attended the funeral. Undertaker Mr. Isalab Elliott had charge of the body. Mrs. P. M. B. Hodge, our old reliable and sympathetic friend to all and a staunch friend to the family looked after every detail and saw that every request of the family made to her was obeyed. Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell of Roxnoke will address the Pythians and Courts of Richmond at the Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday November 1st at 3:30 P. M. An interesting program has been arranged and the public is invited and urged to be present. The meeting is directed by Sir George L. Branch and Sister Lucy Cross. PRICE, FIVE CENTS BEN DAVIS INDICTED. SWAINSBORO, GA., Oct. 14—It is reported here today that the grand jury of Emanuel county, which now is in session, has returned three indictments against Ben J. Davis, of Atlanta, editor of the Atlanta Independent and a candidate for Republican national committeeman for the State of Georgia to succeed Henry Lincoln Johnson. It is understood that the indictments returned charged criminal libel and defamation of character of Clark Grier of Atlanta, who was here yesterday in the interest of the prosecution. It is said that Grier and Dav's represents the two opposing factions of the Republican party in Georgia, and as the lines seem to be very tightly drawn as between the different factions, the cases against Davis will be watched with consider able interest. Davis has not been arrested up to this time but as Emanuel Superior Court is now in session engaged in the trial of criminal cases it might be that the cases against Davis will be heard at the present term. An attempt was made to have Mr. Davis indicted in Fulton county but the grand jury failed to return a true bill. TETUAN BOMBARDED BY THE RIFFIANS AGAIN. TANGIER, October 16—Tetuan capital of Spanish Morocco, was shelled again yesterday by the Rifflans, one shell exploding in the garden of the High Commissioner. The bombardment appears to be directed chiefly against the Jewish quarter of the city. There has been some panic but the casualties have been negligible. PROTEST TREASURY DEPARTMENT S DISCRIMINATION MOVE. Protest over discrimination against colored sightseers by white guides in the Treasury Department has been filed with Frank White, U. S. Treasurer by the Washington Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The letter of protest, signed by Neval H. Thomas, President of the Washington Branch charges that colored visitors had been informed, by the white guides that "there is nothing to be seen" in the Treasury; or else they were told they would have to wait until enough colored visitors came in to have a colored messenger show them about: "This is indeed a novel piece of discrimination", says the N. A. A. C. P. letter. "Beyond the memory of anyone living all citizens of this nation have enjoyed the privilege of visiting there without insult or humiliation of any kind. Certainly there is no need for the inauguration of such an unjust policy there now. I am sure, however, that your subordinates are not carrying out the orders of the Treasury Department" Prompt suppression of the discrimin CLEVELAND LAWDOWNERS TAXI THEMSELVES TO SEGREGATE COLORED PEOPLE. Repors to the N. A. A. C. P. from Cleveland state that white landowners in the Wade Park District propose "taxing" themselves to raise a fund with which they will fight Negroes buying property in that section. At a recent meeting the white people assessed a tax of one-half of one per cent of the value of their property the fund to be used to buy lots that might otherwise go to Negroes. At the meeting the white property owners formed a permanent organization. The whites also attempted to put pressure on Negro charities asking, the Community Fund to withdraw its contributions to Negro charities if Dr. C. H. Garvin, a colored physician, did not agree to sell his newly built house "at a reasonable figure." This proposition was defeated it being shown that Negroes contributed more money to the Cleveland Community Fund than was received by Negro charities. Dr. Thomas T. Jeffries sovereign remedy No. 1 will do all that he claims for it. You had better not take any chances with that cold.

SOME PEOPLE will only go for ward when they feel the bayone urging them on to action. THE BIBLE is all right, but tens of thousands, who profess to believe in it are more or less all wrong. WHISKEY legislation is crowding our fads and penitentiaries with bootleggers and leaving but little room for thieves and murderers. MOST OF these young girls indicate their advance in age by the shortening of their skirts. Some others retain the same length of skirts regardless of their increase in age. THE REPUBLICAN State Committee of Georgia has named Benjamin Jefferson Davis as member of the Republican National Committee to succeed the late Henry Lincoln Johnson. This insures the ablest kind of political representation of the colored people of that State. His oratorical abilities are closely akin to the distinguished Georgian, whom he is succeeding. LIBERIA is being condemned in some quarters because of its acceptance of the Firestone Rubber Company's offer. This offer will bring money into the country and money is what is needed in that country at the present time. It will require skillful diplomacy though to prevent the loss of sovereign rights in this African Republic and if these leaders and officials in charge cannot provide this diplomacy then they deserve to go down to rise no more. WAR IN MOROCCO. THE REPORTS coming from Morocco in Northern Africa show plainly that the African chieftain is holding a winning hand. Delay is his trump card. Neither France nor Spain can stand the expense of another campaign in this mountainous country. These natives are dead shots and the climate is their strongest asset. Even colonial troops are unable to withstand the rigors of the climate, while the Moors, having become accustomed, move in and out with agility at all seasons of the year. When the French attempted the conquest of Haiti under the regime of Toussaint L'Ouverture, they experienced similar handicaps and the Haitians won their independence. The great New England orator, Wendell Phillips in paying a tribute to the black general, whom he had placed above Napoleon and even our own George Washington in strategy and military ability quoted him as using the following language in addressing his troops at the time of the French invasion: "Burn the cities, destroy the harbors, tear up the roads with cannon, poison the wells. Show the Frenchmen the hell he has come to make", Mr. Phillips grimly concluded, "And he was obeyed." As a result Hakti enjoyed her independence down to the present day until the influence of this Government served to rob them of a part of it although it is even now enrolled as an independent Republic.

C., Oct. 21. —Sweeping on like a fierce, unrelentless hurricane, and fighting like a maddened, desperate beast, the ferocious Union Panther outwitted and outbattled the mighty Shaw Bear by the sore of 7 to 8 in a hectic and spectacular grid encounter last Saturday amidst sunshine, rain and darkness, before a frenzied and colorful array of grid fans. Shields Thrills; Breaux Stars. Perhaps the greatest football ever staged here and surely the most desperately contested grid drama ever enacted in C. I. A. A. circles, held a host of enthusiasts of the pigskin sport spellbound, as the nimitable "Jimmy" 'Shields, Union's backfield ace, dashed 35 yards to within Shaw's 4-yard line, Breaux carrying the ball over and kicking the extra point. The exited crowd got more thrills as Martin place-kicked a field goal for Shaw, and Tobin, Union's star center, Hoffman, Morgan and Smith flashed brilliantly in spectacular plays. East vs. West. All the technique and fineness of Eastern football as taught by Coach H. D. Martin, formerly of Norwich University, (Conn.), was matched against the gridiron strategy and trickery as diligently expounded by Coach T. W. Harvey, Washburn, Col. (Kans.) and football a la Western won, as his panting Panthers drove on to a well-earned and hard-fought victory. Shaw Started Off Stron. Directly after the referee's shrill whistle started the game, Shaw started a determined offensive, Martin formerly of Union and Lincoln, doing most of the running. Shaw advanced the ball to Union's 19-yard line and dropped mission one trial at dropkicking goal. Then Shields' running featured, with W. A. Smith and Boffman hitting for gains. Chambers outpunted Washington. Shields ran 25 yards off end and was stopped 30 yards fro mthe goal. Boffman zigzagged for 21 yards, but Union was penalized 15 yards for holding. Shaw advanced ball to 12-yard line. A 4-yard pass was complete and Martin placed 8 yards far goal line in the beginning of the second half. Pitts and Ruffins, Union's end, worked well. Boffman received kickoff and ran 15 yards, and Union's backs worked the ball back up the field, with Downing, Merritt, the mighty end, and Captain Houston opening holes. Breaux was punting hard. Morgan, a new flashy Union back, could not be stopped. Just before the end of the first half, Shields got Chamber's punt on Shaw's 37-yard line and raced 33 yards to 4-yard line. Breaux carried the ball over and kicked the extra point. Play In Downpour. Old Man Pluvious stepped in and made a slushy field, so that the second half was featured by slipping, fumbling, many penalties and unsteady running in the mud. Carrington, imported from Boston, ran his team well. Boffman totaled 20 vards in four successive plunges over Captain Houston. Shaw made last-minute aerial atack which failed.

Ballard THE SHELTON ACQUITTAL (News Leader Oct. 19, 1925) Editor The News Leader: Sir—Inasmuch as there has been a good deal in your valuable paper in regard to the case of the Commonwealth vs. Henry Shelton, a colored man of Goochland County, who was charged with sending through the mail a certain letter to Mr. George Lacey, Louisiana County, I think that there should be some account of his remarkable trial at Goochland Courthouse on Monday and Tuesday, in which he was thoroughly vindicated. The case has attracted a great deal of interest throughout the counties of Louisa, Powhatan and Goochland, as shown by the fact that all three of the Commonwealth attorneys from these counties took part in the trial and assisted in the prosecution of Shelton. The trial was largely attended, both by white and colored, and the courtroom was packed. When the Commonwealth rested its case, the defendant proved to the satisfaction, not only of the court and jury, but also of the crowd of people who heard the trial that he never wrote, or caused to be written the letter in question. He proved a splendid character for a peaceable law-abiding citizen, and as a man whose business dealings were always upright and honest, and whose general character as a man was such that anyone, white or black, could be proud of. Four or five of THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA the most prominent business men of Richmond, including T. S. Winston and J. B. Pinder were present and testified to the excellent character of Shelton. Several men of highstanding testified as experts of handwriting, and when all the evidence had been introduced the court did a very unusual thing. It instructed the jury that it would strike out all the evidence of the Commonwealth, as it had failed to connect the accused with the letter in question, and that if they should find a verdict of conviction he would promptly set it aside. The jury, of course, rendered a verdict of "not guilty" which met with the general approval of the people, white and colored, and Shelton was generally congratulated by a large number of his friends and the public at large. The people felt that, as he had been wrongly accused and had suffered for nearly a week in jail before bail was allowed him, he was entitled to a public vindication which he received. He was represented by P. A. L. Smith, and his son, P. A. L. Smith, Jr., of the Goochland and Richmond bar. STAUNTON PREPARES FOR NEGRO ORGANIZATION SOCIETY.

OUR BANKING SYSTEM WAS BORROWED FROM THE ITALIANS~ HARRY WILLS DANGEROUS OPPONENT AN EXPERT'S OPINION NEW YORK, October 17.—Out of the fog of belligerent assertion scornful denial and indignant reiteration that envelops the hostile camps of the Dempsey and Wills conversational combatants there has emerged one clear-cut, incontrovertible face—jack Dempsey, holder of the world's title, will not fight Henry Wills, Gene Tunney or any other chattenger during the year 1925, writes Charles F. Mathison. Despite the avalanche of words that has descended on the unfortunate devotees of boxing, there remains a keen interest as to the outcome of a battle between the champion and the abest boxer of the Negro race. QUESTION ABOUT CONDITION. It is questionable to me if the conqueror of Wlard ever regains the admirable physical condition that charac erized him at the battle of Maumee Bay when he fought Wlard there. Although Dempsey is a young man (he will be 31 on June 24, 1926) and apparently has no lived in a manner to injure his vt alty, yet if he keeps his word and faces Wl's in the summer of 1926 it will mark the third year that the champion has been out of a dive competition. Nothing is more destructive of pugnacious form than complete absence from ring combat for a term of years. In comparing Wills and Dempsey from a physical viewpoint it is at once apparent that the Negro has lived a more sedate life than his white rival. Wills has been married for a number of years and has never been subdued to the glare of screened-eye existence. On the contrary, he Negro has shown a decided preference for home life with the result that now at 33 years of age he is in full possession of his physical powers and is without doubt, one of the strongest men that ever drew on a pair of boxing goves. He will have the advantage, over Dempsey in height, weight and reach, the Negro s anding 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 215 pounds in condition for the ring and having a reach of 84 inches. On the other hand, Dempsey stands 6 feet 1 1-2 inches tall, will weigh 188 pounds in the ring and has a reach of 82 inches. Dempsey in his prime was the quicker of the two especially in the matter of attack, but has undoubtedly flowed down during his wanderings through film land. WILLS MORE SKILLFUL In defensive skill Wills is far superior to the champion and should baffle Dempsey as thoroughly as did Gibbons at Shetby. The yarn to the effect that Dempsey influenced by the threats of desperate gummen at Shetby, refrained from inflicting any special damage on Gibbons may be well suited before swallowing. Wills is more difficult to hit than was Gibbons, and will hit in return with greater effect. It is not a difficult matter to land effective blows on Dempsey, as was demonstrated by Willard. Carpentier and Firpo, but in each case the champion's opponents were so exhausted they were unable to follow up their advantage. When Dempsy came out for the second round at 'Toledo it was expected by the onlookers that he would make short work of the Potawatomie giant. 'To the assonishment of all at the arena Dempsy suddenly tired and abandoned his vicious attack. Although Wilard was sadly dazed and beaten he perceived the lack of aggressiveness on the part of Dempsy and for the first time carried the fight to the challenger. The huge Kansan, his right eye nearly closed and the right side of his face puffed up to the size of a boxing glove lunged unsteadily at the now passive Dempsy and almed several straight lefts at the youngster. One of them reached Dempsy's chin and it looked for an instant as though he would tumble. With a great effort he remained in a perpendicular position and nested out the round. He was still weary when the third round started, and while Willard's helpers urged him to "punch with both hands" the big chap was too weary himself to do any serious execution. Willard decided during the rest between the third and fourth rounds that he could no longer stand the strain and a "towel was tossed in his behalt." Carpenter landed one staggering punch on Demmeys' chin in the second round of their contest in "Bowle's Thirty Acres," but the French man was unable to weather the return smashes from the champion. Firino's feet in knocking Demmeys TOBEY AND TYKE VERY, VERY GOOD OSWALD! WHO ELSE HAS AN EXAMPLE— DEEP SILENCE out of the ring in the first round of the contest is further evidence that the proen, champion can be hit and hurt. Also evidence is not lacking that Dempsey must win quickly or else be badly if the bout continues for any length of time. Wil's possesses such remarkable strength and his defensive tactics are so baffling that only a super Dempsey will be able to penetrate them. Wil's has suffered but one knockout during his long career and that was at the hands of the hard-hitting Sam Langford in 1916, at a time when Langford was still in knockout humor. Firpo, who hit Dempsey with trichammer effect, was unable to lay a glove on Wilts in twelve rounds and was floored once by the Negro. In estimating the qualities of the opponent's of Wills and Dempsey in their numerous contests it does not appear that the latter's victims have been more formidable than those of the former. Few white boxers have been willing to enter the ring with the huge black, and Dempsey himself was not eager to meet Negroes following his rather unpleasant experience with John Lester Johnson, who disarranged a pair of white boy's ribs. A great deal of Dempsey's reputation as a fighter rests on his defeat of Willard. It is argued that any man who could stop Willard in three rounds when that gigantic boxer won the title from the expert Jack Johnson by alleged knockout in twenty-s rounds must of necessity be a wonderful fighter. It is now a well established fact that Johnson was not knocked out by Willard but peddled his title to a clique who desired a man with a championship for show purposes in the United States. The members of, this clique knew that Johnson, a fugitive from just the could not return to America and use that he could not fight in Europe on account of the war. The Negro realized that he was in for value received. There is not a shadow of doubt that Johnson, a really great heavyweight, could have beaten Willard easily in the Havana fight. WAR IN MOROCCO (Continued from page 1) tory force was concentrated at Cape Micro Neuva under the command of Abd-et-Krim himself. The French and Spanish are still being he'd off effectively by these hundred gunners. DAY AND NIGHT BATTLES. The actual Riffias infantry front lies across the peninsula called Cape Moro Nueva westerns born of the land edging A'uhucemas Bay, Spanish transports, under the protection of the flee, landed more than 5,000 infantrymen on Cape Moro Nueva September 8 after van attempts to land had been made at Wad Lau Tgassas and Sidi Driss. The landing was accomplished in the morning after an intensive battle, during which both the Riffans and Spanish lost heavily. The Riffan troops under Abd-el-Krimef about 360 yards where they dug themselves in. The battle which then began has lasted continuously' day and night ever since and the Spanish have succeeded in advance over ground yielded by the Riffians o a point where they have been stationary for the past four days secure desperate efforts by the French feet and bombing planes to aid their advance. POLY CITY RESISTS BOMBS. I arrived at Abd el-Krim's field headquarters on Cape Moro Neuve shortly before noon September 23, after a six-day journey across the mountains from Targzuit to Shechem the holy city of Western Morocco, where I was present at the French air raid on September 17. The holy city has suffered comparatively little from bombardment, although raids have been frequent since the combined French and Spanish attacks began on all fronts. From Sheshuhan my trail led across the Beni Halid to Beni Boufru, the beginning of the real Riff. In the Beni Halid country the sound of cannonading further south was distinguishe and I encountered several detachments of reinforcements marching to the Beni Zeroual front. I believe the French are regaining con siderable loss ground on the Beni Zeroual front and the Riffian losses there have been heavy. PUNISHMENT OF DESERTERS. At Beni Boufra, the day before yesterday I witnessed a sight unknown in the Riffia $ _{n} $ struggle for independence—the punishment of deserters! Four men, one of them an officer, were caught at Beni Boufra reurning home without leave from their units on the French front. They were striped and beaten with THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA heavy knotted leather whips until they lost consciousness. This terrible punishment was witnessed by a crowd of some fifty or sixty Bentou Brafou men grouped before the Government office there. Early yesterday morning I started for the Moro Nueva front. It was almost 11 o'clock before I reached the area covered by bombing planes Here about an hour's ride from AbdeKrim's field headquarters, I caught up with a supply train going to the front, about twenty miles away. Half of the wagons were loaded, with bread and the other half loaded with carrries. The train was in charge of a dozen boys, 10 to 12 years of age, who trudged along stoicly indifferent to the planes overhead. About 12 o'clock the trail rose from a hollow to the hilltop, directly behind the Riffian front line. Here there was unwanted activity. ARD-EL-KRIM'S HEADQUARTERS. The presence of a telephone line indicated that this was the headquarers of Abd elKrim himself. It is an ordinary Riffian house, built of irregular stones standing on the top of a hill, surrounded by a cactus grove. Four guards stood at attention before the door and at the crouched three nondescript Euro plans in Arab clothing over a wounded Negro who was meaning noisily. In front of the house a group of Riffian soldiers squatted in a circle about one of their fellows who was evidently dying. They waved palm fronds in the air to keep fires off the dying man and talked indifferently by across the body. Behind the house were some thirty Spanish prisoners at work digging dives or dugout shelters. Further down the hillside twenty French prisoners were similarly employed. All were still in uniform, but were a dirty, unshaven and dejected looking lo. The poor devils worked in their holes when the planes actually started bombing the hiltop, then the prizes were marched out to less cerain shelter, while Kiffian officers entered the caves. This happened regularly throughout the afternoon and one prisoner was killed by a bomb later on. FRENCH FRONT MIRED IN MOROCCAN DELUGE FEZ. October 16—After a Summer which broke the records in Morocco, often proving even too much for the Senegalese accustomed to equatorial temperatures, the French Army has now encountered the worst rain known to years. Nothing is running true to form except their own hard nuck. The French are definitely settling down for the Winter on the boggy from, which recent operations have made 25 mFes shorter than the 200 mFes that they defended when the war began. Beginning a for night earlier than usual, the rainy season has continued to exhibit diabolic perversity from every veinpoint. Almost as much rain has fallen already as the average total for October and November. No part of the front has been spared, conditions in the arid regions north of Guero's being among the worst. There is not yet any indication of a break in the weather. GYPSY FAKIR GETS AWAY WITH $600 JOB. (Preston News Service) Asheville, N. C., Oct. 22.—Operations of a clever gypsy confidence worker in Asheville Sunday netted her $600 in cash, according to the sheriff, to whom the case was reported. The gypsy went to the home of a woman named Massey, who was ill, and saying that her confidence must be obtained before the cure could be worked, asked to be allowed to hold some money. Accordingly the woman went to a local bank, drew $600 and placed it in the hands of the gypsy, who went through the traditional hocus-pocus, finally pinning the cash to the woman's shoulder. She then told the patient to sit there without molesting the money for at least an hour, and then to remove it and she would be cured. After the time was up, the "Doctor" having gone her way, the woman investigated and found a small roll of blank paper pinned near the back of her neck, the money having departed with the gypsy thirty minutes before.

My hair, which should be woman's greatest charm, used to be coarse and unruly due to dandruff, and my face was sallow and often bore ugly pimples. "I had heard Exelento Quinine Pomade praised on all sides and I got a package and began using it as directed. The results were astonishing. My dandruff all left me and my hair began to get so soft and silky that it was a delight to comb it." "Then I began to use Exelento Skin Soap on my face and the results were equally amazing. All blemishes disappeared and my face became soft, smooth and beautiful." Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Soap may be obtained for only $25%$ each at all drug stores or will be sent, postpaid, upon receipt of price.

Alfalfa roots go down eighteen feet through soil washed down from mountains made up of lime, minerals and centuries of growing and decay- ing buneh grass, grease wood and sagebrush. You cut your alfalfa seven times a vers for fifteen or twenty years; then plant it again, irrigate it, and Natoze oes the rest. ’ The soil also produces democ- racy.

DY ‘Tuberculosis Germs Not Inherited. Most anybody nowadays can write or speak intelligently of tu- berculosis. My little neighbor, a lad of ten, not yet in “Junior High” refers gravely to “T-B” when con- versing with his play-fellows; the learned scientists and the statisti- cian bewilder us with technical facts. What to do with the dis- ease however—to combat it suc- cessfully—remains a dark and un- fathomable secret. We have found ‘out to a certainty that its cause is a definite baceillus, a living, virile organism, shaped like a rod, multi- plying by dividing itself into short- er sections when each individual reaches maturity. Colonies assem- bled produce peculiar tissue-growth —tubereules, —nature trying to ward off the intruder. When the baccili develop destructive power within the tubercle, its walls breale down, and general tuberculosis re- sults. ‘The outstanding fact to, be) re- membered in tuberculosis is, it is communicable. People do not in- herit germs—they are acquired. A child may be infected, and harbor the bacteria for years without symptoms. Let him get influenza, or pneumonia or even a severe “cold” and the tubercle baceilll awaken to do serious mischief. This brings up & positive conclusion: ‘All tubercular patients should be ‘Subjected to rules of quarantine. ‘They should be taught to save and burn all expectorated matter, and should sleep alone, using individu- ‘al bed-linen.

PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond Va. --- monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 36th Ragiment, 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 spirited 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. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for.

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 horrors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublimely self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
