The K 0. came in the second round after minutes and 25 seconds of slow un. interesting and clumsy milling. Thomas showed nothing to commend himself to the fight fans. His foot work was decidedly amateurish and he had no defense. \ few of his heaviest blows landed on the now fat Tracey, but did no apparent dam age, A stiff jolt in the pit of tho stomach was the beginning of the end. Thomas dropped to the floor and arose at the count of nine, only to so down again moment later.

PARIS, Sept. 23.-Caustic COM

France is mounting at what all
classes feel to be a piece of insolent
commercial brutality and tactlessness
in the face of the French govern
ment's attempt to popularize the stay
of the American Legionnaires de-
spite the widely-expressed hatred
against the murderers of Sacco and
Vanzetti on the part of the French
workers. The scandalous actions of
the legionnaires on French soil and
the recent insult to the French au-
thorities when the legionnaires re-
fused to remain at the official Yer
dun reception and left before Premier
Poincare had finished speaking has
infuriated the French. The action of
the legionnaires is widely regarded
in government circles as having been
inspired among the rank and file by
the American officials, as a result
of the American changed attitude in
connection with the tariff war.

DARE WALKER TO
REPLY TO NEGRO
BATTING CHARGE
w. Pickens DenOunces
Him for Cafe Incident

Commenting on Mayor Walkers de-
nand that Negroes leave the cabaret
he was visiting, when he was in Rome
recently, William Pickens, field sec
retary, National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People yes
terday issued the following state
ment:
"There is report, so far uncon-
tradicted, that Mayor Walker of New
York, objected to the presence of
Negroes in a cabaret in Rome, Italy;
that he did not as the Romans do.
"But we can say about American
whites in general that they often as
sert their peculiar prejudices abroad
more exaggeratedly than they assert
them at home. This is probably due
to the fact that their prejudices or
opinions become more sensitive when
it gets into an atmosphere that is
unfriendly toward it; it feels the need
of self-assertion where it is naturally
not approved or is disapproved. Sc
we sometime have the strange phen-
omena of white Americans objecting
to riding in a bus with Negroes out
of Paris, France when they are ac-
customed to ride in busses with Ne
groes out of New York and in Vir-
ginia. Their prejudices do not feel
so much on the defensive in their
home atmosphere, and are therefore
less sensitive.
