COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES
By THE CAMERAB1AN

OF coming together to take an inven-
tory Of the political stock Of
their group; to formulate plans to
strengthen the bulwark Of Republican
ism; and to serve notice upon all con
cerned that vigorous, verile band of
intelligent and determined women has
resolved to have day in the political
court-a day OF offering and dav Of
asking-offering their force and faith
and asking full recognition for them
selves-are indeed worthy Of deep
gratitude
These women are courageous, and
they have done great service as well
as set splendid example to the col
ored men, whose efforts to organize
determinedly and scientifically, have
not entirely met the requirements Of
our group. We congratulate the fe
male group which has put practical
politics into play. We believe that
their motives are pure and unsullied
by individual selfshness.
And when they shall have consum-
mated their plans for group organiza-
ton, we are sure they will offer the
hand and the example of fellowship
and service to the dormant man Of the
part, whose ankles have long since
been beset by weeds OF neglect and
inertia.

Negro Folk Songs
Comes now R. w. Gordon (white)
of New York, with his versions and
explanations Of Negro folk songs. We
don't know whether it will cause iov
or sorrow to the rank and file in not
ing that Mr. Gordon says that Ne
gro folk songs are not distinctively
Negro, but are the adaptation and as
similation OF spiritual songs which
were sung in the white churches long
before the earliest date yet definitely
ascertained for any Negro spiritual. In
other words, says Mr.. Gordon, the Ne
gro listened in" and thereby gained
his Interpretation Of the white mans
spirituals.
With all of which we heartily agree,
and TO the extent Of averring that en-
vironment, opportunity, contact, and
precedent have far, far more to do with
shaping racial traits" than do blood
and skin tints.
The Negro in America has followed
in the wake Of the white man, absorb
ing both his virtues and his faults. Had
the white man been thrown in Africa,
under similar circumstances, he would
probably now be singing white" folk
songs in dark Africa; for he would
have similarly absorbed the faults and
the virtues of the black man, made SO
not by Divine Providence, as southern
gentlemen so blantantly shout, but by
climatic and other conditions over
which man has no control. (And this
does not mean that we are evolution
lists or atheists-quite the contrary)
Father Adam was undoubtedly the
sire of both black and white, and the
Tyres OF old probably gave the impulses
which unconsciously are now guiding
the vocal chords OF all men of today,
black, white, spiritual, sentimental, or
"blues."

REFERS TO SELF AS KING.
Prospects of Carol Ascending Throne
Regarded as Remote.

PARIS. July % Gp).-Rcher by his
fathers bequest of 100000, former
Grown Prince Carol of Rumania now
appears to cherish the idea of mount
ing the throne he repeatedly re-
nounced, judging by statements to the
press. in which he refers to himself
as king Carol of Rumania."
Meanwhile his application for per
mission to return to Bucharest to at
tend the funeral of Ferdinand has not
been answered, according to his own
announcement. and Rumanian circles
here express the belief that this or
other communications he may send
will receive no answers while Pre-
mier Bratiano is in power. These
circles say also that the prospects OF
there being a King Carol II are. for
the present at least, extremely remote.
One of his intimate friends is quoted
as having said that he is certain to
attend the two memorial services to
be held in Paris Sunday-one for Off
cials in the Rumanian Church at II
o'clock in the morning. and the other,
for the Rumanian colony, at 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon.
King Ferdinand's sorrow over
Carols remuneration of his throne
rights is shown by a statement which
the monarch added to his will in Janu-
airy, 1926, after his eldest son an
nounced his momentous decision.
1T was the Lords will to impose
this trial upon the country and my
self and cause great sorrow to the
Queen by the crown princes renun-
citation of the throne" says a version
of the statement sent by the Mathis

til the end of my days will l forget
the grief which overwhelmed me when
saw myself forced to take cogni.

that, unfortunately, the measure was
necessary in the interests of the state
and the crown interests, which have

stances"

queror of last September, Gene
Tunney.
Big Fight Date Uncertain.
Although Promoter Tex Rickard to-
day declined to make any definite an
nouncement of his plans, it is regard
ed as likely that Dempsey and Tunney
will fight for the crown between Sep
tember Is and 20. possibly in Phlla-
delphia, where they met last year.

cago RiCkard is understood to have
virtually completed arrangements to
shift the fight to a site outside New
York. because neither last nights s
battle-ground nor any other in the
metropolitan district affords seating
capacity to compare with the arenas
in Philadelphia or Chicago.

a long way along the comeback trail.
observers seem agreed, since the
dreary. rainy night last September
when he floundered around against
Tunney.
Dempsey's once lightning like speed
of foot has vanished, although his
stiffness remains. His punches carry
again terrific power and somewhere,
apparently. he has regained great
deal of the old resources that enable
him to take it" and come back to
win.
Near Defeat i'm First.
Last night, in the first round. he
was perilously close to defeat. He
was tottering. groggy, under the i'm
pact of a series of solid hooks to the
head and bleeding from the mouth,
but had the stamina to weather this
sudden storm and keep .plunging in
with a relentless attack to the body
that paved the way for the finishing
blows where year ago he was unable
to rally from first-round pummeling.
1t took only a few seconds for last
nights finishing picture, but it was a
thrilling climax in spite of the sub
sequently disputed views of it. Not
only was their controversy over
whether Dempsey's blows were fair
or foul, but wide difference of opinion
as to whether it was a right or left
to the body that was low and a right
or left to the head that provided the
climax. Dempsey as we'll as Sharkey
settled the latter issue. They agreed
it was right hook to the body ant
left hook to the jaw that furnished
the victorious combination.
Dempsey came out of his corner ir
the deciding seventh round and ripped
in close, as he had done consistently
in the previous rounds. They hac
whirled around. Dempseys heac

Groups of peasants, dressed in their

Country Remains Calm.
With the boy King Michael's reign
established, the country remains calm,
and the government has made known
its determination to quash any at
Prince Carol to regain the throne for
him. In this connection the story is
recalled of a conversation which King
Ferdinand had last year with M. Bra

Is reported to have told the King when
talking about report that Carol was
leaving Paris and proceeding to Ru-

Take care that he does not have
you shot," Ferdinand is quoted as hav-

a deep impression was created in
Bucharest by the private letter which
King Ferdinand wrote to Premier
Bratiano two days before his death,
which has just been made public.
Wounded by Carols Act.
Writing as though he had a pre-
sentiment of death, the monarch spoke
of his love for his country, of Carol
and the wound dealt to him by the
remuneration of the throne by his first
born son, and of the passing of the
crown to the head of the boy Michael
The letter began:
MY dear premier: AS a Christian,

thought of the moment when / will
find myself before my God. AS a Ru-
manian and King l have sacrificed my
life on this earth, but my love of
