LIEUT.. COL. DAVIS
NOW RANKS Highest
AMONG OUR GROUP
(By Associated Negro Press)


Washington, D. c., Sept. 16.-Lieut.
Col. Benjamin o. Davis, a colored citi-
zen of the District of Columbia, holds
the highest rank of any man of his
race on the active list of the army Of
the United States. Col Charles
Young, also colored, who was gradu-
ated from the United States Military
Academy, was retired several months
ago on account of disability. He was
the only colored man who ever
reached the grade of colonel in the
army. Although retired, he is still on
duty as military attache at the United
States legation, Monrovia, Liberia.
Col Davis was born in this city,
studied in the Mott school and was
graduated from the colored high
school. He began his military career
as a first lieutenant in the United
States Volunteer infantry in July,
1898, and was honorably mustered out
in March, 1899. He then enlisted in
the Ninth Regular Cavalry, and in two
years was successfully promoted to
corporal and squadron sergeant-major.
AS a result of competitive examina-
tion open to enlisted men, he was ap-
pointed second lieutenant, Tenth Unit
ed States Cavalry, in February, 1901.
Since then he has served with either
the Ninth or Tenth cavalry regiments
in campaigns in the Philippines and
on the Mexican border, except for
short detail as inspector general of
the First Separate Battalion of the
District National Guard He reached
the grade of captain in December,
1915; temporary major in August,
1917, and a lieutenant colonel in the
national army in May, 1918. A few
days ago he was appointed lieutenant
colonel of cavalry. He is now at his
home at 1880 Eleventh street on leave
i Of absence, having just returned from
a tour of duty in the Philippines. He
has been detailed as professor of mill
tary science and tactics at the Tuske
gee Institute, Alabama, and will go
there in few days.

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS
ARE DEATHLY AFRAID
OF WOMEN VOTERS
Especial to the Tribune)

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept 16.-The
race issue is cropping out in Ken
lucky politics as the fall campaign
goes on. Although the league of ma
tions and Article 10 may engage the
attention of national orators and the
slush fund claims put forward by Gov
ernor Cox obscure it for a time, there
are evidences on the horizon in this
state that the issue that may over
shadow the others in prominence is
the vote of the colored women. The
focus of the Kentucky fight lies in the
womens vote of 63S,O00 In most presi-
Dental elections here in former years
the vote has been divided almost even
ly, although usually democratic by a
slight margin, except the Edwin P.
Morrow, republican nominee, carried
the state by 10000 and won the gov
ernorship. Usually, however, few
thousand votes have decided the vic
tor The democrats realize their
chances for a win here this fall can be
swept aside if the republicans get
much of an edge" on the situation.
Eighty thousand colored women will
be added to the poll list, all of whom
are certain to vote republican The
question therefore, of how Kentucky
will go, is up to the white women.
Democrats say to win it will lie nee
essary for the white women to go to
the polls by telling white women that
unless they vote the colored women,
who are certain to be brought out by
the Republicans, will express the sen
timents of Kentucky womanhood.
Being a " border state" Kentucky
is unlike the "solid south" in respect
to its Negro vote Here it is counted
and that is the factor that keeps Ken
lucky from being normally rock-ribbed
democratic.

REDEE N LIBERTY
BONDS AT PAR, SAYS
SENATOR HARDIN &
Especial to the Tribunel

Marion, Ohio, Sept. 15.-"This gov
ernment should make its liberty and
victory bonds worth all its patriotic
citizens paid in purchasing them"
This is the language OF Senator
Harding to recent callers here.
1t means that Senator Harding be-
lieves the bonds the men and women
and children of America bought in the
war period and which have gone be-
low 100 cents on a dollar should be
brought back to 100 cents on the
dollar.
Of the first Liberty loan your gov
ernment bought in $25.119,O0O of Lib
erty bonds for $23,S41, ,677.6O, with a
profit clip of $1,27S,9224O from the
fleece of the bond buyers.
OF the second Liberty loan your
government bought in $371,215, 900 for
$953, SAG, ,965.55, with clip of $17,S6S,-
09445.
OF the third Liberty loan your gov
ernment bought in $27S,635, 900 for
$267, ,661 1893, with a clip of $1O,973,6O2
OF the fourth Liberty loan your gov
ernment bought in $36S,115,000 for
$34S, ,513 ,4S5, with a clip of $40 ,501,515
In other words, your government
has trimmed the purchasers of its
promises to pay out exactly $49,716,-
473.S5, which is quite tidy sum.

GREAT INTEREST
IS DISPLAYED IN
WRESTLING match

Never in the history of the wrest-
ling game throughout this part of the
country was there such a rivalry as
between the local pride, Pete Sauer,
and Sam Clapham, holder of the Brit
ish title, who are meeting in Tally's
arena on Friday.
Not only is the interest high in the
Salt River valley, hut newspapers and
wrestling fans in other states are
eagerly looking forward to the result
of the clash. Clapham's determina-
tion to rub out the defeat that Sauer
was lucky to get in their last encoun-
ter only tends to make the match
more interesting, and there is no
doubt that the Britisher will make a
hard try for win.
Both men are very evenly matched
in weight, but the British champion
has an edge on Pete when it comes to
skill and probably strength and ex-
perience.
1t came as complete surprise to
the wrestling fraternity of the larger
cities where Clapham is known, when
Sauer was awarded a victory over him.
but, owing to the serious accident
which came to Clapham, the defeat
has been overlooked and now fans are
awaiting news to see whether Sauer
is as good man as he has been credit.
ed with. Both principles are getting
into the finest possible conditions, as
neither of them are going to leave
any stones unturned when the gong
sounds for time Friday.
Sauer's friends are anticipating a
hard struggle for him, but feel that
the local man will defeat Clapham in
strainght falls Several offers have
come to the wrestlers in the way of
matches and it is not likely that any
chances of victory on this contest
will be overlooked.

Foreigners ARRIVE
In j. S. AT RATE Of
MILLION Per Year
(By Associated Negro Press)

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Immigration fig
ures for the month of August disclose
the fact that foreigners are now COM
ing into the United States at the rate
of more than 10000 per month, or l.
100000 a year. This great influx is
on despite the pressing conditions in
Europe, where man-power is at the
minimum and millions are needed to
help rebuild the countries destroyed
by war.
Reports are also being circulated in
various parts of the South to
the effect that 100000 Mexi-
cans are to be imported into various
Southern states in order to take care
of the farm work and other industrial
needs brought on by the marvellous
influx of Negroes into Nothern states.
Leaders, organizations and govern
ment departments having in charge
the economic welfare of the country
are studying with great interest the
various phases of these new move
ments. Every encouragement is be-
ing given, it seems, to immigration
despite the recent immigration law
passed by Congress. Some go so far
as to say that the underlying motive
is to open up labor conditions in order
to throw thousands of Negroes out of
employment in the North SO that they
will return to the South.
If there is any such motive, it is not
believed that it will succeed, however
Careful investigation by the Associ
ated Negro Press in every section OF
the North to which the race has mi
grated discloses the fact that more
than 80 per cent of The employers are
entirely satisfied with Negro labor
They give among the reasons for sat
isfaction the following: The colored
employees are 100 per cent American
they speak our language and no inter
prefer is required; they do not seek
1
to foment strife and strikes; they are
hard and faithful workers, and the
majority of them are saving theil
money and buying homes.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that it is necessary for every member
of the race to be on guard for his owl
betterment. After all, it is stated
employment is economic and not sen
timental Regardless of how sympa
thetic employers may be, efficiency is
the watchword, and if the employees
do not measure up, there is but one
thing left to do, make a change.
Organizations of all kinds are urged
to preach this doctrine to the people
and impress on them the importance
of always seeking to better their con
dition. Extravaganza and vice ar,
frowned upon, and honest workers arr
urged to beware of the crafty peopl,

India expects to harvest the great

present forecast is for total yield of
376,SS4,000 bushels. This is 80 per
cent more than was grown in the same

close at hand that there is not much
danger of loss. In the vital task of

win play conspicuous part. This is
