ed the back of the car to note the
number, they heard noise on the in

r. Frazier, the girl refused to give
her name, then Frazier admitted his
guilt saying this was his first time,
that he had been connected with the

HARDING Will NOT
APPOINT BLACK MAN
REGISTRAR. AYERS
Especial to The Tribune. J


Washington, d. C.-President Hard
ing has practically determined not to
appoint a colored man as Registrar
of the Treasurery for the Unltci
States This information comes from
an authoritative source, and seems to
be final.
There are two or more reasons ad-
vanced for this unusual turn OF poll
tical events, according to those well
informed. First, it is stated that
pressure has been brought to bear by
certain Republican Senators of the
north against the wisdom of appoint
ing colored man, in the face of the
protests of southern people. Second, ii
is stated that the position has be-
come too important for a colored
man." there being more than 500
clerks in the department, where there
were formerly fifteen
President Harding intends TO give
number of appointments to colored
Americans, including Charles A Cot
trill, who has been prominently men
toned for the position of registrar.
There have been no actual appoint
ments by the President which require
senatorial confirmation, up to date
In regard to the Registrar of the
Treasury, it is stated that in 1898,
when Frank A. Vanderlip was in the
treasury department, similar stu
alton of protest was up concerning the
appointment of colored man, and
that Mr.. anderlip shut down on the
matter, and Judson Lyons was given
the position.

jews IN ROUMANIA
Being DRIVEN OUT
BY Other CITIZENS
(By The Associated Negro Press)

CBy The Associated Negro Press)
New York, June 16.-Thousands Of
Jewish refugees, driven from their
homes in the Ukraine and parts of
White Russia, are living under wretch
ed conditions in Poland and Rouman-
ia, says Superior Judge Hugo Pam, of
Chicago, who returned from four
months tour of investigation last
week.
Poland, Roumania, Lithuania, Aus
trit and Hungary are some of the
countries he visited in behalf of the
Hebrew Sheltering and immigration
Society of America. "The law limit
ing immigration to per cent was
passed by congress on misinforma-
tion," thejudge said. "If only in op-
GRAFTON for II months it will work
great hardship among the refugees.
Poland and Roumania are overcrowd-
ed and these people are confronted
by the problem of where to go. They
were driven from their homes in the
Ukraine and parts of White Russia
by pillage, robbery and massacres, at
the hands of small bands of maraud-
ers. The condition of those who
found temporary refuge in Poland is
very pitiful. Sometimes IA to 20 per-
sons were found living in single
room. They are taken advantage of
by INSCRIPTIONS men. Animals are
valued more. Nine-five per cent of
these people would make good citi-
ems and live up to the highest stand
ards of Americanism, if they were al
lowed to come here"

French OFFICIAL
LOUD in HIS PRAISE
OF COLORED TROOPS

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, June 16.-An Official
ofthe French government now in the
United States has sent to- DR.. Emmett
j. Scott, former special assistant to
Secretary of War, the following state
ment which he has just received from
Paris:
Before the Colored Senegalese
troops left the Rhine district for Asia
Minor, on May 29th, 1920, one year
ago, General Degoutte, one of the
most famous French leaders of the
Great War, commander in chief of the
French forces in the Rhine Provinces,
issued the following message: "The
Senegalese Brigade leaves the French
Army of the Rhine, called forth to an
important mission on a point of exter-
ior operation. l regret to see the de-
parture of these elite soldiers: was
often able to appreciate their bravery,
at first in our colonies, later during
the war
Always and everywhere, the Sene-
galese have shown themselves worthy
of their glorious fame: the conquest
and pacification of the African middle
zone, of Madagascar and Morocco,
Dixmude, the Dardanelles, theSomme,
the Aisne, Verdun and the Avre, are
their titles of heroism"
Through the cordiality, the simpli-
city, the kindness, which they have
proved in dealing with the populations
of the occupied district, they have
obtained the sympathy of all those
who approached them We have tes-
timonies which make it plain"
The odious propaganda against ev-
erything which is French does not
leave them. They can proudly oppose
the cleanliness of their lives, the high
sentiment of their duties as citizens.
and as soldiers, their glorious past,
tothe perfidious libels on people who
forget too early the horrors of which
they have become guilty in Africa as
well as in France and in Belgium.
Il salute their flag, quite new but
already bright with glory"

No More Gas in
Stomach and Bowels

If you wish to be permanently
relieved of gas in the stomach and
bowels, take Baalmann's Gas-Tab-
let's.
Baalmann's Gas-Tablets are pre-
pared distinctly and especially for
stomach gas, and particularly for
all the bad effects coming from gas
pressure.
That empty, gone and gnawing
feeling at the pit of your stomach
will disappear; that anxious and
nervous feeling with heart palpita-
ton will vanish, and you will once
more be able to take a deep breath
so often prevented by gas pressing
against your heart and lungs.
Your limbs, arms and fingers
won't feel cold, and 90 to sleep,
because Baalmann's Gas-Tablets
prevent gas interfering with the
circulation; intense drowsiness and
sleepy feeling after dinner will
soon be replaced by a desire for
some form of entertainment. Your
distended stomach will reduce by
inches because gas will not form
after using Baalmann's Gas-Tab-
lets.
