Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: It becomes my duty once more to write to you in the interest of our glorious cause—the freedom of four hundred million Negroes. Today I have before me a vision of a titanic struggle. To me it is a struggle for human existence. It is a struggle between the various groups of humanity scattered here, there and everywhere. I see before me now the desperate effort of each and every one to survive the bloody conflict. It is a conflict of the races wherein one race desires the mastery and control of others, and the others in their own way fighting for their preservation. Asia, Europe and Africa are engaged in this bloody conflict. Europe, with her millions of organized groups, battering down the gates of Asia, and all Europe demanding entry. On the other hand, I see Asia stubbornly resisting the attempt of the foe. I see on the great battle plains millions of men going down in defeat. And after the battle I hear the shout of victory for Asia. Asia once more free, and in the same spectacle I see the same foe battering at the gates of Africa, demanding Africa, and four hundred million Negroes under the banner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, standing up like men blocking the entry, and also winning laurels for the great crown of African freedom. But, ah, even before the clash I see men organizing everywhere. I hear Japan crying out to a dismembered and disunited Asia to organize, to get together, and it is through this organization of Asiatic groups that the victory I have spoken of in my vision becomes imminent. Through this organization Africa must come together. The scattered millions in America, the West Indies, South and Central America, and in the home- land, must all unite as one man in this time of world reorganization; so that when the conflict really comes, united we will stand to meet the common foe, and thus protect the rights of our fathers, ourselves and our children. Now that the world is organizing itself into Race groups, and men everywhere are realizing the value of organized movements, we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association appeal to Negroes everywhere to organize, link up your strength, morally, financially, educationally, and physically, because out of this combination of strength will ultimately come the freedom of Africa. Let us buy and build new steamships. Let us float them on the bosom of the seven seas. Let us send them to the farthest ends of the world, carrying our commerce, and our trade. Let us link up, America, South and Central America, and the West Indies. Let us link up America with the great continent of Africa through the steamships of the Black Star Line. The Untold wealth of Africa is yet unexploited. Africa still awaits the Negro explorer. Africa still has her hands outstretched beckoning to her children scattered the world over to come to succor her, and to be the fellow citizens of the scattered sons and daughters of Africa. The disunited units everywhere must first come together, and first pledge themselves to support one great and noble policy, and that policy today is no other than the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us support this great Organization everywhere. Let us rally to the colors of the Black Star Line Steamship Company. Let us prepare today, for the tomorrows in the lives of the nations will be so eventful that Negroes everywhere will be called upon to play their part in the survival of the fittest human group. Let us play our part by now supporting the Universal Constructoin Loan, and also supporting the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation by buying more shares. In supporting the Construction Loan, you will be helping the Organization to build up Industries in Liberia, West Africa, and in parts of this Western Hemisphere, factories, mills, and educational institutions must be built, and the loan that is now being raised by the Universi of Negro Improvement Association is for such a purpose. When you buy 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 100 or 200 shares at $5 each, you are helping to build up a merchant marine that will convey the trade and wealth of the Negro from one part of the world where he rules and dominates. Sons and daughters of Africa scattered everywhere my appeal to you today is for action. I want you to steel your hearts with the determination that you should go forward throughout the world conquering and adding new victories every day, to the grand and noble cause of African freedom. Be not dismayed. Be not down-hearted, because the silver lining is immediately beneath the dark cloud that seems to threaten. Awake, Ethiopia! Awake, in the strength. Go forward and conquer. I feel sure that my plea of this week for support for the Black Star Line, and for the Universal Negro Improvement Association will not fall upon deaf ears, but that e, and every one who reads this message will send time the office, 56 West 135th street, New York City, U.S.A. and buy as many shares as possible at $5 each. With best wishes for your success, I have the hon be, your obedient servant, New York City, February 22, 1921. THE NEGRO WOLRD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921 Watkins contributed to the Negro World could be gathered up and published in a book, they would make an attractive book of verse. ACTAS DE LA UNION DE LA AC On page seven of the December 25th issue of the Negro World, Serg. Watkins contributed an article on "What Is Poetry," which was a literary classic. In that article, he said: "The writer believes that poetry has a spiritual significance that is essential towards the evolution of human souls. Poetry is the Music of the deep, the Harmony of the height, the Law of the Universe. It was born when 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.' It breathed when 'the spirit of God moved upon the face of the water.' It spoke when 'God said let there be light, and there was light.' Poetry paints with the colors of immortal imagery, sings with the melodious word-notes of putting gladness, talks in Hallowed Parables. Only the ordained seers, peers and apostles appreciate it in the fullness of its God-given glory. It seems that its picture need not always be beautiful; it may even be admirably awful, its story need not always be true, it may be an exquisite exaggeration, a magnificent lie. Its song need not always be reasonable, it may be beneath, above or beyond reason. Its charm is subtle as life itself. We love it for its joy, yet may cherish it in spite of its pain. We are drawn to it as the bee is led to the sweet of the flower, yet may be held by it as the bird is helpless before the bewitching eye of the serpent. "Poetry is a bit of God's Kingdom 'On earth as it is in Heaven.' It soothes and sustains life in its restless longings for the unattainable. It is the heart beat of humanity, the march step of life, the wheel of time, the ceaseless cycle of existence. Thus through a column of impassioned eloquence, Serg. Watkins leads us from one summit to another. That article is worthy the pen of an Emerson, a Renan, a Victor Hugo or a Cardinal Newman. Perhaps the brave poet achieved immortality in that article. Some literary critic may come along and regard it among the world's classic descriptions of poetry. Was there ever a clearer definition of poetry than the following which Serg. Watkins gives further down the column? "When we say 'the sun shines' this is prose; because this statement according to our language refers to the natural action of the sun in its emission of light. But when we say 'the sun smiles,' this is poetry, because in this supposition, we endow the sun with a human attribute. It is only through an exercise of a faculty of the mind called imagination, that one can conceive the sun as smiling. In its simplest sense, such use of the imagination is both poetry and the appreciation of poetry." We shall miss the delightful bits of verse that Serg. Watkins contributed to the Negro World. We shall miss the weekly communion with a lofty soul. His poetry along side of that of Phyllis Wheatley and Dunbar has added to the literary prestige of the race. We hope and trust that somewhere in the universe, under God's providence, his spirit is gathering for a grander flight. WARNS AGAINST WAR OF RACES Speaker Says Economic Imperialists Must Go. The policy of economic imperialism of the past, if continued during the rebuilding of the world, will bring on a world war between the white and colored races within the next generation and destroy the chance of the white races to rule the world, Dr. Frank Bonn, correspondent of the New York Times in Switzerland during the war and student of international economics, declared in an address before the Industrial Association of Cleveland at Hotel Winton, on Tuesday night, February 15. "The world is open to you--you can have anything you want, everything in the business way--but do no business anywhere, in China, Mexico, Latin America, South America, Africa, or Asia, unless you take your heart there; else that business will mean death to the next generation." Dr. Bonn asserted. "The big stek won't work anywhere in the world any more.

SAFEGUARDING THE POLICE. THERE is nothing more detrimental to the preservation of law and order than that the officers who are sworn to uphold them should themselves transgress them and lose the confidence and respect of citizens. It is the duty of policemen to prevent the commission of crimes and protect citizens against the enemies of law and order. But when policemen themselves flout the laws they are sworn to uphold, naturally they lose the confidence and respect of the community so necessary to the preservation of law and order. Charges of the kind preferred against Policeman Martin McMahon of the Thirty-eighth Precinct by Mrs. Cooper, a young woman, mother of two children, do not tend to raise the police in the estimation of citizens. The abuse, to which Mrs. Cooper testifies, was subjected by this officer is enough to shock the moral sensibilities of anyone who is not a degenerate. This alleged occurrence necessarily provokes and foments disturbances, and every such case of moral depravity deprives policemen of confidence and respect. We know that there is a better element on the police force in Harlem the element that is not only law-enforcing, but also law-abiding. But it is a sad fact that the admirable conduct of self-respecting policemen is often eclipsed by the disgraceful behavior of their com-munies who take advantage of their position and indulge in shocking and shameful practices. We imagine the Police Commissioner, Inspector Cahalan and Captain McGrath are just as anxious as we are that the police in Harlem retain the confidence and respect of the citizens in this community; we owe a duty to the community and a further duty to the Police Department; therefore, we recommended a searching inquiry into the charges. CLEVELAND ADVOCATE COMPLIMENTS THE HON, MARCUS GARVEY Garvey's "Growd Winning" in Cleveland Complimented An official representative of the U. N. L. A. and A. G. L. in Cleveland read with pleasure the "praiser" in the Cleveland Advocate of January 15th. It was "bubbling over" with oratorical phrases which indirectly conveyed a sympathetic attitude toward the world's greatest movement. The article admitted that the masses were in favor of the "Back-to-Africa" movement, and the writer begs to say that not only the masses, but the classes will before long fail pell mell to what he called the "Back-to-Africa" movement. We desire to have all Mrs. Cooper's rights safeguarded, even as Officer McMahon's rights should be and are safeguarded. We desire also to see the machinery of justice operate equally for black, white and yellow, policeman and civilian: Much praise must be given to the writer of this article in the Cleveland Advocate, as he recognizes that the distinguished Marcus Garvey has a wonderful personality, although he claims that he "bubbles over." It is not surprising, although much to be regretted, that the evil of lynching persists in the United States when it is taken into consideration that press and pulpit, the Legislatures and other media which ordinarily give expression to public opinion are either too warm in their denunciation or strangely silent upon what should be an all absorbing question. This "New York Whitwind Leadak," as the article declares, has caused many more "pilgrims to come to his shrine," and the writer wonders why they came. Whatever becomes of his "scheme for conquering Africa" and the "liter," the writer continues, it is a certainty that at the present time his "worshipers" believe him capable of doing all that he promises. The frequency with which human beings are burned at the stake in America does not tend to raise her in the scale of civilization and gives rise to the question of her sincerity in denouncing lesser evils sound in other countries: Much praise must be accorded the race-lovers of the Cleveland division No. 89 who not only paid fifty cents in order to hear the Honorable Mr. Garvey speak, but were unstinted in their purchase of stock in the corporation. This division which was so greatly inspired by the speeches of the Honorable Marcus Garvey is now temporarily under the supervision of Dr. Geo. B. It would seem ill becoming her to intrude herself into the affairs of other nations while this bar sinister clings to her escutcheon. Only a few days elapsed between the burning alive of a Negro in the State of Arkansas, when another was roasted alive in Georgia; and these performances follow each other with slickening regularity. Yes press and pulpit are strangely silent and the Congress of the United States, which saw fit to pass resolutions condemning loose forms of atrocities perpetrated in Europe, three thousand miles away, is as silent as the tomb regarding these worse than barbarism practiced right at its door. Sommer or later the press and pulpit and the Congress of the United States will be compelled to take official cognizance of these human performances and obliterate them from current American history. Narcissists throughout the country and especially in the Southern States are becoming more and more convinced that unless the United States Government takes steps to protect them in the enjoyment of every Right guaranteed them under the Constitution, they must take more to protect themselves against American savages who are allowed to roast them alive with impunity. It should be fitting and proper that the Federal authorities make provisions to rigorously enforce this practice in the United States, since the individual states are neither unable or unwilling to do it themselves, if America wants to maintain her place, not only in avowal, but in fact, in the absence of civilized nations. Riley of New York in another drive, and bege to inform the writer of the complimentary article that they are going over the top so as to make the Garvey "schemer" safe ones at home and others abroad. The article follows: GARVEY VISITS UB AND WINS CROWDS Marcus Garvey, the New York "whirlwind" visited the local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association last week, making several addresses in behalf of his ventures. Mortgages were held at Lane Motropolitan C. M. E. Church Friday and Saturday nights and on Sunday at Spla Hall, East 38th and Scovill avenues. "The Back to Afrique" movement was given a boost in all the Garvey speeches, and from evidences of approbation given by the hand-clapping at the meetings, it can be hazarded that "the seed fell on good ground." Whatever may be said of Garvey, by his detractors, one must admit that the man was a wonderful personality and "bubbles over" with the elements of leadership. This assertion will be better digested when it is understood that hundreds of people paid an admission of fifty cents to be given an opportunity to enter the hall where Garvey was endeavoring to sell stock in The Black Star Line. And what's more, the pilgrims to the Garvey shrine brought freely of the investment, when they were loosed from under the influence of his spell-binding oratory. The masses are with Garvey. It is a fact that cannot be denied. Whatever becomes of his schemes for conquering Africa and the like, it is a certainty that at the present time his worshippers believe him capable of doing all that he says. Garvey and his aides left for Detroit Monday morning.

AFRICAN FAKE PRINCE EXPOSED Public Should Be Guided Against Bogus Royalty —Madarikap Deniyi Not a "Prince." If Madaritan Deniyi was locked in a room with a chair table, writing materials and a $500 bill and told to write the article appearing over his name in the Richmond Planet for February 19 and take the money for his trouble, he would be in the room several months and the letter would not be written. Deniyi has been in this country for how long nobody exactly knows, posing as an African prince and raising money by appeals to churches and other organizations to get back to Africa by delivering addresses in broken English in such churches and halls as would give him an opportunity to work them. He has appeared in a gorgeous robe and turban at times, and when the U. N. I. A. convention met here in August last he was resplendent in this African royal toggery and marched in the parade with heaving breast and the pride born of fiction. Now a man who would lie about his status at home, who will insist that his blood is royal, when he knows in his heart that it is merely the commonest plebian field, will lie about other people. And this is what "Prince" Deniyi has in his attack on Marcus Garvey, I have to Lagos from a gentleman who ought to say, which brand this "Prince" as a fraud and adventurer and says that he is unknown in Lagos. This man, like a good many other Africans, who have come to this country and posed as the sons of native kings, princes and the relatives of prominent merchants and traders, has many imitators all over the country. There is one of this type who is now the guest of the city of Harrisburg, Pa. This African came here some months ago, opened an office in New York city and established a warehouse in Long Island City where his cargoes of ivory, mahogany, hides, plassava and so forth were to be stored on their arrival by ship from the Gold Coast from which he hailed. Now for the small sum of ten dollars this resource, progressive African genius got himself tangled with the law by sharp practice and is a free boarder in one of the city hotels in Harrisburg, Pa. Deniyi is mighty fond of the American dollar and can expel words almost as fast as a horse can trot/gellings his story about his life in Africa, which is varied according to the type of his audiences and is about one part truth and nite parts lies. He is as blank as a heathen Chinese when telling it and his voice is usually filled with tears, which evoke volumes of sympathy from tender-hearted women, whose emotions he cannily plays upon, and some soft- NATURE WILL NOT DESTROY A RACE BECAUSE OF COLOR OR PHYSIOGNOMY Chicago, Il. Feb. 7. Editor, Negro World, New York City, N. Y. There has recently been much discussion in the public press concerning the reorganization of that gang of ignorant, vicious, law-defying, murderous lynchers known as the "Ku Klux Klan" Colonel William J. Simmons, the Imperial Wizard, writes among other things that the Klan stands for "white supremacy and 100 per cent Americanism." Such a reactionary organization, in this present day of enlightened internationalism, is not only the enemy of the Negro, but of the white proletariat masses as well. The mantle of "100 per cent. Americanism" has been made to cover a multitude of eyils. This hateful and pernicious slogan stifles free press and free speech in America. Thuga, strikebreakers and minions of the Department of Justice, who break into men's homes and private sanctuaries, are imbued with its spirit. Profiteers and patrols (reformed spelling, paytriots) wore their badges of Americanism on their sleeves "for daws to peck at." This organization originated in the South, the most illiterate, backward and reactionary section of the country. Its members can trace their ancestry, unbroken, back to the fall birds, mental defectives, morons and epileptics with whom Oglithorpe first colonized Georgia; and the diseased female prostitutes sent over from England to be mates for these degenerate males, and from whose loins sprang the foresters of the present inhabitants of Georgia. North and South Carolina and various other Southern States. Thus when viewed in the clear light of scientific analysis, from which has been subtracted racial passions and prejudices and hysteria, it is plainly evident that the recurrence of such an organization of murderers and cuthroats represents a distinct phase of biological atavism, and a recurring tendency toward degeneracy. It is analogous to the system in India termed "Thugoe" or "Thuggee." In India it is a direct result of the pernicious "caste" system, and which operates to prevent inter-racial or intertribal breeding. Thus any distinct tendencies possessed by any particular generation are more than likely to become aggravated in succeeding generations owing to the lack of cross-fertilization. It is a well known fact that the Hindu thief and murderer are redraged from a well defined caste. From the foregoing, it is no fantasmal summary to conclude that the pure strain of this degenerate blood which flows in the vein of the average Southern white, unmixed by healthful infusion and virile inoculations, is responsible for the tendency to recur in each succeeding generation; and it, as aggravated, form predilections toward fatality, sickness and morality. White women are beautiful men, who like to separate themselves from their surplus coin. Prince Damb! takes himself very seriously; he is a monumental joke, and the letter appearing under his "royal" name in the Planet is the work of others more skilled in the use of the "King's English" than he ever was or will be. They are simply hiding behind this guildite, plastic and "international African Prince" and are fighting the Garvey movement like the brave men (7) moral cowards are when they have been outpointed in a Man's Game. The Yarmouth is not an old-wooden bulk nur- it is an old as the "Princess" accomplices in their times of mis- statements allege. There are a great many other misrepresentations in this "remarkable" sulgving which do not deserve the dignity of denial or the courtyard of explanation, because they are inspired by pure venom burn of envy and a desire to tear down what neither the "Prince" nor his accomplices, in the conspiracy to discredit Mr. Garvey, could rebuild in a thousand years, if their mendacious and malevolent and vicious scheme to poison the minds of the public by those blackhand and black-hearted methods could avail. The Garvey movement has gone too far and achieved top much in spite of the opposition of white man and the black slack-polls of white men to be affected by the insane "rapingers" of a factitious African prince who cannot correctly speak or write English as "she is spoke" and whose responsibility for his alleged utterances, alanders, and abuse and misrepresentation when established would show him to be a bankrupt and peripatetic beggar. He came to the U. N. I. A. Convention last August as did a good many other salac racist patrols with receptive minds and itching palms with the hope and desire in his breast that the convention would choose him to represent the U. N. I. A. in some official capacity. But be and all such as he were weighted in the balance and found wanting. He proved to be the lightest weight of all these crafty and, aspiring "Garkisee." Naturally when the curtain went down and he found himself outside the breastworks it touched his "royal apride and his resolved, as some others have done to their sorrow, to imitate Samson and pull down the temple. Well, he better be careful or some of the falling debris, if it falls, will put him out of the fake prince business and hurt his feelings. BRUCE GRIT, New York; February 19. with a distinct method in her madness. Nature's laws are immutable and inexorable. She cannot be evicted by blood ororges or mob violence. Her favors are bestowed only in conformity to her own secret plans, and are not evoked by the conjunctions of humankind. And unless it is in keeping with her scheme of fitness she will not preserve nor destroy a race because of color or physiognomy. If it were otherwise then the studies and research of Darwin, Heckel, Boas and others have been made in vain, and the laws which they enunciated have come to naught. Thus it becomes plainly evident that "white supremacy" is entirely dependent upon the mental and physical fitness of the white race to survive. If nature determines it unfit to survive or dominate no such gang of nondescript, defective murderers (they are potential if no actual murderers) such as Colonel Simmons has gathered together can bolster up false illusions and continue a state of society such as presently exists in the South, which stand "Like a burnt tower upon a blackened heath. Lit by the fires of the burning woods beneath." Those who heart loudest of "100 percent. Americanism" are frequently reactionary foes of human progress. Now it is patent to all students of social progress that real civilization means the dominance of a condition of culture and refinement over brute force and barbarous methods. In fact, it has often been necessary to exterminate the enemies of human progress by force. Since Colonial Simmons and his organization represent deprived, degenerate foes of social advancement, it is logical for progressive society, both black and white, for its own protection and self-preservation, to call for a forceful suppression and extermination of these white degenerates by the armed forces of the central democratic authority which should be representative of solace as a whole. And further, since human progress is the keynote of all civilization, if these white "hell-hounds" should operate in any locality and recognised authority failed to intervene, society, represented by any of its constituent groups anywhere, would be justified in arming itself and killing off these enemies of civilization. Colonial Simmons bonates of his "100 per cent. Americanism." George Bernard Shaw relates that he frequently heard the term "100 per cent. American," and was at a loss to discover its real meaning. After much research and inquiry he discovered a "100 per cent. American" to be 5 per cent. American and 95 per cent. a village Mist. Since it is patent that organized society has no niche in which to fit Colonial Simmons and his homogeneous brood of "dangerous spawn, ninies, it be six-foot graves, it must make room for human progress even though it necessitates the extermination of these cavities (77). descendants, 66, jail binds and presetition. LONG AWAITED ANSWER TO CRITICS MADE BY HON.

A. LIBERTY HALL, New York. Friday evening, Feb. 11, 1921. -The Hon Marcus Garvey came to deliver his long-awaited answer to his critics that he and the Universal Negro Improvement Association were largely responsible for the present widespread unemployment conditions as well as continuing and leaving no doubt in the minds of those who heard the speech (nor will those who read its report he in doubt) that the charges and criticisms are widely unfounded and unvaried. The need for clearing up the misrepresentation that was made in the minds of many people by those who made this claim, he said, was very apparent, since the object of the attack was not to remedy these conditions, but rather to injure the cause of the U. N. I. A. Mr. Garvey began by tracing historically the industrial conditions of colored people in this country before the war began which he pointed out, were not very favorable, prejudice having existed everywhere, and the custom having been to confine the Negro to certain avenues of work or employment, such as yield the lowest pay and which are the most mental. He then told of the coming of the great war how it brought in over-abundance of business to manufacturers and employer in all the big industrial center, how under stress of condition which, because of the lack of men most of whom had been drafted, the battles were thrown down and employment of it more profitable type were given the Negro how the Negro was also to be our corresponded wages and given commercial opportunities which he never before enjoyed. At that time he required the so-called leaders of the race remained acquiescent and did nothing to advise the people as to what they should do during the great period of their prosperity. He, however, would come and迎迎 the people to conserve their surplus money to prepare for the time when conditions would not be no favorable. White employers did not give the Negro employment in the big factories and plants and stores because of their love for the Negro, but only because they were constrained to do so by economic conditions; and now that there is business depression they prefer, of their prejudice and their desire to get even with the Negro, to cast him out of work and favor rather his own people, even though some of the latter may during the war have been their country's enemy, whereas the Negro had been loyal to a man throughout the war. These, Mr. Garvey said, were the real reasons for the present state of unemployment among colored people in general, and that notwithstanding this condition of affairs, if the Negroes had acted wisely and had saved of their surplus earnings as he had advised them, they could now weather the storm, at least they could have over-subscribed to the $10,000,000 capital stock of the Black Star Lino and enabled this corporation to have bought the necessary ships so that they could transport to Africa hundreds and thousands of those now unemployed, where they could obtain steady and profitable jobs in the great work there of the reconstruction of our motherland. The speech is a most interesting one and of a celebrated character because of the historical references made therein, and unmasks the real ulterior motives of Mr. Garvey's enemies and the enemies of the U. N. L. A. It shows the remarkable prophetic vision of the leader of this great movement, who is able to read not only the signs of the times, but also to discern the future as to the needs of his people, and that in such a leader great confidence should be placed by the people, and unintended support given in furtherness of the cause he so fearlessly and ably exposes, detests and leads. It was a large crowd that filled Liberty Hall to hear the address, and that Mr. Garvey had come out with colors flying, in having decisively refuted the unjust attacks of his critics and completely silenced them, was the consensus of opinion of his auditors. Prior to Mr. Garvey's speech, Prof. William H. Ferris, editor of the Negro World magazine, as also Miss Hirrietta Vinton Dawson, International Organizer. Both paid warm compliments to Mr. Solomon Platjo, who is on a visit to this country in the interests of the natives of South Africa, upon the latter's special address on the preceding night as to the conditions under which our people live in that part of Africa. Professor Ferris then made an eloquent appeal to our people to awaken to a realization of their situation and step out of their state of lethargy. He said he believed that the future of the Negro race rests in his own hands; that we cannot expect the white man to help us, or to give us that share of those material things in this world that rightfully belong to us, since it is contrary to all history that a strong race is willing or over does unselfishly strive to better or improve the conditions of a weak race. He felt encouraged, however, by the continued enthusiasm manifested in Liberty Hall, and the letters that came to him daily from our people from all parts of the world, as editor of the Negro World, all of which shows, he said, that our people are waking up and beginning to take an active interest in and part in the work of the U. N. I. A.; that the movement is gaining hundreds and hundreds of new adherents every day; that the movement has already swept the world, like a tidal wave; that "the other races and nations of the world look upon Liberia and the U. N. I. A., and Marcus Garvey, as a world dynamo, which is sending put the electric power that is galvanizing the Negro people of the world." Continuing, he said: in part: "All the Negro needs is to be conscious of his power, conscious of his destiny, and get hold of the fundamentals of civilization, as Japan has done. When Japan broke the magic spell of the white man by whipping the Ruzians, the world realized that a new power had emerged. In like manner I hope that in the next decade or two a new power will emerge on the west coast of Africa, showing that the Negro can not only absorb and assimilate the Anglo Saxon and Caucasian civilization, but that he can also evolve and produce a civilization of his own." (Great applause.) 'Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis spoke with amphibians upon the need of Negro mothers and Negro fathers teaching their children from the very cradle the principles of the U. N. I. A., which she said is the hope of the Negro. Liberty Hall, she said, had become an educational institution in this respect, for here opportunities are given for learning of the true condition and needs of our people everywhere, which should enable and encourage us to co-operate with our fellow-brothers wherever they may be in shaking off all forms and manner of prejudice and oppression against them, and in banding together in the one great project of the ultimate redemption of Africa. Said she: "We must begin with our children as little babes in their mothers' arms and teach and train them, that they may become active and useful men and women for the great cause of the redemption of Africa. They cannot get this training in the public schools; they must get it at the knee of their mothers and their fathers. We must teach them in our homes the principles of the U. N. I. A—race loops, race conscience, race loyalty, and an enthusiastic desire to see Africa redeemed. We must let it be a daily and a nightly lesson to our children. It is one thing that we must not neglect, for it is the great duty of Negro parents to SORE LEGS HEALED Open legal education for the poor, especially while you work. Write for books.

I, therefore, appeal to you, in the name of our children, in the name of this great cause with which we are identified, in the name of the ideals and the ideas of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who, for three years, has been preaching this great doctrine to you, to hurry up and get ready, for the day of the Negro's salvation is at hand. (Applause) The Right Honorable High Chancellor, Rev. Dr. H. E. Elligor was the first speaker of the evening, and spoke in terms of appreciation of the address delivered the previous evening by Mr. Platje, and also encouraged his hearers to remain true to the cause and continue giving it their financial, as well as moral support. Dr. Elligor is a pleasing speaker, and is always listened to with wrap attention. An interesting, though brief musical program, was rendered as a preliminary to the meeting, after which a collection was raised and an appeal made for additional subscriptions to the Black Star Line and to the Liberian Construction loan. Mon. Marous Garvey on "Unemployment" Mr. Garvey's address, in full, was as follows: I dese e to speak to you this evening in a bu rt-to-heart manner, because just at the time we are facing critical conditions, and it is but right that we should talk to each other, counsel each other, and get to understand each other, so that all of us may be able to work from one common understanding for the good of all. I desire to appeal to the memory of the members of this association. You will remember that in the years immediately preceding the great war in Europe there was a great industrial stagnation among Negroes in the United States of America, and that we then faced a hard and difficult task industrially, economically, and we saw no hope, and we had none. Then immediately, whilst undergoing our hard and difficult experiences, the war broke out in Europe. Germany declared war, and nearly all of the European powers were dragged into the bloody conflict. Immediately the war started in Europe the participants rushed a large number of orders for war supplies and munitions to the United States of America, that was then neutral in the war. By the abnormal demands for the industrials of these United States of America, a great industrial wave swept the country, and untold opportunities were opened up to Negroes everywhere in these United States of America; not A.

After which, I will tell you if you really can be cured. me when we organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association; people who have made the sacrifices I made—sacrifices in money and in time. They bore the brunt of the situation, because on them laid the responsibility to finance and support the propaganda so as to carry the propaganda to others. And they have borne the price of the propaganda for four years reaching the four millions. But it reached the four millions only too in ae. because the war and the opportunities were over, and when it reached them they could ill afford to support the doctrine to convey it unto others. Hence the present situation that confronts us now. There are hundreds and thousands, and later on millions of men in this country of Negro blood who will be thrown out—thrown into the cold. We anticipated it; we saw it, and we warned the people against it. We did it with the feelings of our sympathies for our own; we did it with the feelings of conviction that the men with whom we mingled during the war paid us large wages, paid us large salaries with a vengeance, but they were forced, they were compelled to do so, and they did it with a spite and with a vengeance. Some did not see it, and did not appreciate the fact of those who saw it and warned the people against it. The attitude of the employers in this country was to pay the Negro as small a wage as possible on which he could hardly subsist or hardly live, because he desired to keep the Negro as an industrial peon, as an industrial serf, and make it impossible for him to rise in the great industrial, economic ladder of life. He kept him down, not because the Negro before the war was not worth more than he was paid for his labor, for at all times the Negro is worth more than twenty, thirty or forty dollars a month. Yet that was all that was paid to us prior to the war, and all of you know it. It was paid to the elovator men, to the porter men, and everybody nearly to the maximum of forty dollars or fifty dollars, or sixty dollars a month from his employer prior to the war, not because we were not worth more than that for our labor, but because the other man was prejudiced against paying us more than that. He desired, not to give us a chance to rise in the industrial and economic world. But the war came, and we compelled him by conditions, we forced him by conditions to pay us $100 a week, to pay us $80 a week, to pay us $60 a week, and some of us a mechanics forced him to pay us a bitter anguish; he paid it with a vengeance and he said: "I am going to get even with the Negro." He knew the Negro better than the Negro knew himself. He knew the Negro would spend every dollar, every nickel, every penny he earned which he was compelled to pay him. He laid the plan by which the Negro would spend every nickel but the Negro hadn't sense sufficient to see it and know it. Now, what was the object and purpose of it? To take back every nickel that he paid him. When he raised the cost of living, when he raised the cost of bread, when he raised the cost of butter and of eggs, and of meat, and of other necessities of life, what did he mean? He meant that we should return to him every penny of that which we got from him, and the Negro had not sense enough to see it. He raised the price of everything; he raised the price of luxuries, for he My treatment is different from others. No matter what treatment you have taken, as how long you have been sick, call and see me and through examination. Women are the burden bearer of the world. Only the physician who understands their anatomy and physiological functions is able to help them. If you are suffering with any female complaint, omen, or consult one who knows and understands your trouble. only to Negroes, but these untold opportunities were opened up to all races, to peoples within the confines of this country. Factories and mills and industrial plants sprang up everywhere in the great industrial centers, and men who never had employment, men who never had any occupations prior to that time, found opportunities then. Men for years who never had the chance of earning a decent wage, found jobs ranging in weekly salaries or wages from $25 to $100, and some $200 a week. Men everywhere were employed, and even the peons and the serts of the South broke loose from the South and ran North, where these great industrial opportunities had opened up themselves for each and every one. Men came from the West Indies; men came from all parts of the world to America to enjoy the benefits of the new industrial opportunities offered in America. These opportunities opened up larger and larger, and out of the wealth that was poedd out of the great war some of the people who enjoyed the distribution of that wealth conserved the portion they got or received, such as the Jews, the Italians, the Irish and the Poles. Their leaders in the pulpits, through periodicals, through magazines, and from platforms and class rooms, taught their respective groups the value of conserving the wealth that was then poured out into their pockets in the form of salaries and wages, to prepare for the rainy day that would come. Negroes however, in the most loose, the most slack, the most indifferent manner, received their portion of the wealth that was poued out, and they made absolutely no effort to conserve it. They distributed it as quickly as they received it; they paid it out back to the employer, or to his friend, or to his brother, or some of his relatives, as quickly as they received it from him. And just at that time a large number of the leaders of the country said nothing. They had no advice to give. The preachers said nothing, and they gave no advice to the people. Just about that time the Universal Negro Improvement Association came upon the scene, with an active propaganda. It taught preparedness—industrial preparedness among the Negroes then. It warned them, and told them that they should prepare to start industries of their own, to save their money, and to make every effort to protect themselves; because after the war there would be a great industrial death; there would be a great industrial stagnation. We taught that doctrine; we preached it; we wrote it in the newspapers; we scattered it near and far; we sent the doctrine everywhere and everywhere we got the rest that a bunch of lunatics. The man who inspired the movement was a crazy man and a fit subject for the lunatic asylum. They said all manner of things against him, because we dared then, when no others would do so, to teach the doctrine of industrial, economic preparedness. The people, however, could not see, and they believed we were crazy. But we stuck to our doctrine, we adhered to our belief, and we were able to convert four million people scattered all over the world to our doctrine and to our belief. But we did not convert the four million people at one time; it took us four years to convert them. Some became converted immediately, and assumed the burden and responsibility of carrying and conveying the doctrine to others.

I have been traveling for the last couple of months and tn all of the Western Staten I have been I have seca Negroes out of work by the hundreds tn centers lke Pitts- burg. Detroit, Cleveland, Culumbus, Youngstown and Chicago—all around tho Western and mid-Weetern states Bo that whether we live in New York or eomewhere else, conditions are fust as bad. Bo you might an well stay where you are and face the altuation. What we want Negroes who are sul working and who bave money 10 do, Ja to dectéo upon some wise plan to save the situation. Negroes do not Uke to belp Negroes anyhow. but per- force we will have to help each other ‘Of otherwise something will happen to surprise ua, I told you but recently that when a man ts bungry ne ts the reapecter of po persos. A hungry man forgets the look of his father.» Under- stand that. ‘There are some Negroes ‘who believy they ahoald not take In- terest an elher Keqroen. Now lot ie toll yon that we are going to fac tuation, the most critical ever cx- [perienced by this race of oure ta these ‘United States of America. I told you some ume ago that it fu « question of dog eating Gog. Yoa know Bow bad situation that must be. What T mean boy it le Just that: that there are seme Nesrope who are too big, who are too arlstocratio and too dlety to take tn- terest in other Negroca. I am going ‘to tell you what I believe will happen to such Negroes later on, if they do ‘Bot get busy sow an4 do something for all Negroes irrespective of what slags these Negroes belong to, No community te safe if in its midst there are thousands of hungry man. I do ‘Bot care where that community is, it lg an unsafe community and especially at midnight.

That Negro after not hav- ing & square msal for two, three or four days, turns away and loses heart and nothing tm the world is too dee- perate for him not to do. To find bread s man is driven to the fartheat extreme and at midnight or even in ‘the daylight he resorts to violence and cares not what the result be eo tong as he finds bresd to satisfy his tmpry heart and soul. I have just come from Chicago and there I heard of a Bungry Negro who never had « square meal for two or three days. He had begged everybody around town and everybody drove him away. He sald, “Why should I die for hunger when somebody can give me bread? Bince they have re- fused me, I will take it,” and he goes to the house of @ prescher somewhere in the outskirts of Chicago and he gets into the house where sleeps the lonely preacher and at midnight what did that hungry Negro do? He took a rasor or some sharp instrument and severed the head of that sleeping Preacher from the body to get two dollars, He got $3, and killed @ man for $2 v0 as to And bread. When he bad spent that two dollars and could Rot get any more breed he calied the police and ald, “T will confess to you what 1 did if you give me a square meal.” He was given a meal of chicken and something else and confessed that he killed the man. ‘Thoss are the con- ditfons that hungry men are not re- sponsible for.

NT TOT er aaa Negrot under one great government, to be controlled xnd dominated by Negroes on tho great continent of Africa, Africa at this time arrests the atten- ion of the world. Humanity every- where, races and nations, are turning thelr attention towards Africa—Afrisa the land of hope, the land of your destiny. Four hundred million Negroes have 4 firat clalm on Africa, and it ts that clnim that the Universal Negro improvement Asrocintion has organized to de.nons‘rte to the world—the claim of ownersh’p. I want all to realize that three bundred years ago your foreparoute ere taken from Africa and brought into this Western Hemi- aphere and held to work as slaves for 20 years, The history of the slave trade Is one of blood, tt ts one of human suffering, I will give you an insight Int what your forefathers have passed through to make us what wo are tonight. ‘Three hundred years ago no Nopraes were to bo found tn these United States of America, the West Indies and South and Central America: tureo hundred years ago ws were to be found exclusively in Africa, Just about that time a large. number of white men settled In this country, call- ing themselves colonists; they desired laborers to help them in the develop- ment of It; they turned to Asta and were unablo to get the yellow people of that continent. At that time a man by the name of John Hawkins, after- wards Hnighted by the British sov- oreign, arked perminsion of Queen Elizabeth to take tho blacks of Africa into her colonies of America and the West Indies. John Hawkins and his committee said thoy desired to use the Negroes as slaves in the dovelopment of tha colonies, and. sald they would christianixe them and civilize them in the colines of the Western Homisphere. In thoir native land they were canni- bain and savages. Under these pre- tences tho British sovoreign signed the charter empowering Sir John Hawkins to remove from Africa forty million of our foreparente—forty million black men, women and children, Millions and millions of them were sold in the sinve markets of Georgia, Alabama, Missiesipp!, and throughout the South- ern States; brothers were sold and reparated one from another; parents wore soparated from children, children from parents. Negroes who wore sold romained gs slaves in the West Inties for 230 years, and in America for 250 years, West Indian Negrocs were omancipated cighty-three years ago. and thoro In America were emanci- pated fifty-six yeurs ago by Presidont Lincoln. Our forefathers suffered for 300 yoars to mako us what we are, to mako us the civilized men and olvilized women wo are nuw. We are now liv- Ing in a.civilized age, and wo are called upon to play @ part in the world's civilization, (Applause.) I am here as & ropresentative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to tell you what part you ought to play in the world's civilization. You are to play @ man's part in the world’s clvillsation, For 800 years they kept ua as slaves; for 300 yeara they kept us as serfs and peons in these United Staten of America, the West Indian talande and Bouth and Contral America. Today the New Negro is here and he 1s going to play @ man’s part through- out the entire world. 1 come, there- fore, to tho city of Cinoinnatl not to apologize for anything, not to com- promise anything; I come to tell you mtraightforwardly what the New Negro expecta from the world, The New Negro destres a place in the political aun of the world. We hear the cry of “Ireland for the Iriah,” “Palestine for the Jews, “India for the Hindoos,” “Poland for the Poles,” now we of the Universal Negro Improvement Aeso- ciation are raising @ cry of “Africa for the Africans.” This ts the time and this the opportunity, ‘There are e020 Newrove—400,- 009.000 Africans — some of them in America, the West Indies and South and Central America, and this organ- ation Is endeavoring to bring them. together to declare for the civil free- dom of the great continent of Africa. For three hundred yeara we have been buffeted about, Kicked about and tossed about by all the races of the world. White men have made slaves of us, and they have lynched and. burned us, We were crented a2 men and as men we are going to function, We are going to live as men and dle iB men. Hence the Universal Negro improvement Asscolation comes before you with cleqn-cut program.

Africa belonge to tho Negro people of the world. We are mot going to beg for Africa; we are not going to hold mass meetings about Africa: we are going to reach out and take Africa. I have traveled all ovor the world: I have traveled into all the nooks and corners of Canada, America, Australia, Now Zealand, England, France, and Germany, and whereso- ever I go in the white man’s country A am made to feel and understand it ie thelr. I bave been looking for « black man’s country and I have not sound it yet. White men have gone down into my country and have taken away all my rights; they succeeded because J did not know It was my country; my father and your fore- fathers did not teach us the real bis- tory of Africa, and the connection be- tween the races of Africa. The eyes ef the world are open now and Ne- Jgroes can sce. In this politica: vision that has taken hold of the world the iriahman sees the right of ireland for the Irish! the Polo sees the right of Poland for the Pole, and Negroes also #00 the right of Africa for the Africans, Just as the Irishman ts prepared, every man of them, to die for the freedom of Ireland, eo the Universal Negra im- provement Association is prepared to dio for the freedom of Africa. If we cannot ve as men tn Australia, the United States or New Zealand, by God, wo shall live os men in Africa ‘The Growth of the U.N. 1. A. ‘They do not like to seo us over there, The only time the white man wants to ee the Negro Is when he in in trouble. White men have always gone out looking for trouble and thon calling the Negra to help them out of it. I will give you an illustration: The ‘Negro never had any occasion to war in 1914; he wag quiet and peaceful with himeelf in America, the Wost Indies and Africa, We were not considered men, but when the Katser started something over in Europe they sald ‘wo woro men, Tho white man found out that It was too much for him to carry on, and he sent to Amorica 3,000 miles away, and beggod the black man to help him out. We went from Africa, America, the West Indics and South and Central America 3,000 miles across tha Atlantis into France, Fland- era and Mesopotamls to savg the white man when he was unable to save him- jeelt, For over 200 years wo have been serving the white man and serving civilization: but the New Negro is tired now of sorving others and he is about to verve himself. (Applause.) ‘This organization started in New York threo and a half years ago with thirteen members; today we have four million members and 700 branches scattered all over the world; we have branches of the organization through the forty-sight States of the Union, Canada, Central and South America, the Wost Indian Islands and every eec- ton of Africa, Wheresoever you go you will ace the colors of the red, black and green. But we are not satisfied with only 4,000,000 members. Our Purpose is to organize 400,000,000 Ne- grees; and when we will have suo- oteded in organising the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, we will be ready to strike the blow in Africa for oom- plete freedom and emancipation, Men and women of Cincinnat!, 1 ‘have come tonight to spend a couple of days with you and to unselfishly re- late the aims and purposes of the Uni- ‘varsal Negro improvement Association. rate uno friendly soclety, secret order or new religious body. ! am no preach- er, tam not @ man going about trying to appeal to the emotions of people.

Through that propaganda we are a mixed people today. But the hour has struck when our eyes are opened, and the Universal Negro improvement is now saying to Negroes everywhere that we are brothers and sisters of one destiny, and I am sure that God Almighty is helping us to carry this program through. The success of the Universal Negro Improvement Asm. is not the success of any one man. Jesus Christ is the standard bearer of the Universal Negro Improvement Asm. for three and a half years; that is why we have been able to organise so many Negroes. It has been the hardest task of the ages. Hundreds and thousands of men have tried to organise Negroes, and hundreds and thousands of them have failed. As it would appear, God Himself has come down into this great movement, and we have kept four million Negroes together for three and a half years, all centered on one thing, the freedom of Africa. There are some Negroes who believe that everything started by Negroes is no good. I do not care how big those Negroes are, we have absolutely no use for them in the Universal Negro Improvement Assn, they are old Uncle Tom Negroes; and the further those Negroes keep away from the better it will be for them. This is a new manhood movement; we want Negroes with backbones, not Negroes with wishbones where the backbones ought to be, but real backbones. (Applause.) Just as you could help the French and British soldiers to drive the Germans across the Rhine, you can drive the white man from Africa and plant the red, black and green for freedom right there. I repent we want men with backbones. Freedom is nothing that you can bag for; you have to fight for it and take it. Those Negroes who believe that they are free now can live in Georgia or Mississippi and stay there. I believe that I am not free; that is why I want to go to Africa. When I am sure and conscious of freedom, it means this to me; that if I want to be a street-cleaner or a porter; and if I want to be the president they would let me be the president. (Applause.) If it is freedom, that says I must be a street-cleaner or a porter, and I must not be president, I do not want that kind of freedom. I want 'the kind that my training and ability he for. If you are white and desire to climb upward on the ladder of human greatness, I am going to climb up with you, otherwise you are coming down. If a man tools me once he is not going to fool me the second time; if he fools me the second time it is my fault. The white man has been fooling us for 800 years, and I am on strike of being fooled any longer. He has done all kinds of things to make us feel that there are an inferior kind of people; he tried to make us believe that we are created to be "heaven of wood and the air of water." How could God therefore create 600,000 people to be "heaven of wood and drawers of water?" These white people get this thing in their brains and tried for 800 years to make us believe that God said so, and some of us are, crazy enough to believe it. God has no printing office up in heaven. He has no linetypes or type-setting machines; the angels are not compositors. God inspired the apostles to write and say certain things in those days; but the white folks got hold of all those things that the apostles said and put them in a book and changed them to suit themselves. They have put in that book things that God said and thing that God never said to carry out their propaganda of white superiority. Hence they have made God a white man and Jesus Christ a white man, and the angels beautiful white beaches from Georgia. Everything up in heaven is white according to the white man's teaching. let me say that, so far as African freedom is concerned, we have absolutely no apology to make about it. England and France and Italy and Belgium will have to get out, because 400,000,000 black men say that they must get out. If Canada, America and England are for the white man, by God, Africa shall be for the black man. So we have taken the first steps to redeem Africa by sending men. Now we ask you to lend us $2,000,000 to help us with our constructive work. We must have a country of our own. We are tired of serving the white man and of being kicked out when he does not want us. The white man has grown strong and wealthy from the labor of Negroes, and the Negroes do not know. Lend yourselves money to build up the government of Africa. Invest in the Universal Construction Loan. By doing this you will help your own organization, your own race, to go forward in the great battle of life. (Aplause) V. J. WILLIAMS BREAKS THROUGH MINISTERIAL OPPOSITION IN WASHINGTON. Washington, Feb. 21.—Vernal J. Williams, who has been working with the Division down here, addressed the Baptist Ministers' Weekly Conference two Monday mornings ago. Mr. Williams made a stirring appeal to the Conference on behalf of racial unity, and the U. N. I. A. He said that the "Negro's only hope was in God, his religion, and the U. N. I. A." He told the ministers that they were under "a moral and a racial obligation to do all in their power to further the cause of the U. N. I. A. and thereby cement the Negroes of the universe together." Concluding, he said in very fiery and impassioned tones: "You gentlemen of the cloth are engaged in the spiritual uplift of the Negro. Marous Garney, through the U. N. I. A., is engaged in the uplift of the entire race materially as well as spiritually. His work is helping you and making your work more effective. Lot me ask you to ponder over these aims and objects of the association as I have outlined them to you, and I am sure that before long you will fall within the ranks." The speaker was given a tremendous ovation of applauso and approval at the close of his speech, and made arrangements to confer with many of the gentlemen who sought enlightment on the subject. Mr. Williams also addressed the ministers' conference and the stockholders of the Hotel Whitolaw at their annual banquet. Mrs. Josephine Dunn of Lawrenceville, Va.

The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not object to its members having the photos of deserving white people in their homes, but it insists that its membership and the race as a whole, should adorn their brackets, mantlepieces and parlors with the pictures and photos of leaders of the race. For that reason it will develop a gallery for famous Negro Photos and Paintings. As an initial step the association has prepared a repository in the office where some photos and beautiful photo-postcards of the following men and women can be obtained at a small cost. C. BENJ.

You see that the black man has done nothing. All that we have done was to carry mortar for the other fellow when he was building up his property. The time was come for us to build up in Africa. I am, very serious about it, because it is my only hope. If Negroes sit quietly down and pay no attention for the next fifty years until Africa is taken by England, France, Spain, Italy and Belgium, here and in the West Indies we are doomed. I am longing for the day, the mighty day, when we shall plant the standar1 of the sea, black and green on the hiltos of Africa. The U. N. I. A. Convention. In three and a half years the Universal has built a membership of 4,000,000 souls. Last August we called a convention of all the Negro peoples of the world. Twenty-five thousand delegates assembled in Liberty Hall, New York, for thirty-one days and thirty-one nights discussing the problems of the Negro race. During those thirty-one days we heard complaints from all parts of the world, and we found out that Negroes were suffering everywhere—in the West Indies, South and Central America, and in Africa. We wrote and gave to the world a constitution which is called the Declaration of Independence of the Negro Peoples of the World. In that declaration we stated that we are organizing for our own protection. We stated to the white people that when they touched one Negro they were touching 400,000,000 Negroes the world over; that when they lynch one Negro 400,000,000 of us will remember them until we get thouf that the Negro in the last war fought for other peoples, but when he fights again he is going to fight for his own freedom. And that constitution has gone all over the world, to every white government, and we are making the governments of Europe tremble in their shoes, because they know we mean what we say. The French government was so interested that it sent a man to America to study conditions in the election and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He came to Liberty Hall, and we welcomed him and told him to tell the French people that we are coming, and coming 400,000,000 strong, and that they had better get out of Africa before we got there. Mon, the time has come for action; it is time that you cease being sympathetic and charitable, forgetting that there is any one but yourselves, and think of yourselves now. I want to let you know of the definite steps we have taken for the realization of this great dream of an African government. On the 21st of last month we sent some pioneers to Africa—engineers, mechanics, chemists, architects, builders and surveyors and men of all professions have gone to Africa to lay out railroad lines, farms, build factories and mills, lay out the plans of the docks for the big ships of the Black Star Line, build churches and schools and universities, so that during the next twenty-four months the ships of the Black Star Line will take hundreds and thousands of American Nogrews back to Africa to build up the land of their forefathers. (Applause.) We are determined to build up Africa. Africa is chris. God Almighty gave it to us and we are going to take it.

BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN Mr. Henry Ford, the inventor of the Ford silver, and "Angel" of the Peace ship, who admitted under oath in the libel suit brought against him some years ago that he didn't know American history, etc., etc., is discovering what he seems to think considerable secure knowledge about the Jews of this country and the world against whom he appears to have a grudge due to their thrift and enterprise. We may look for squalls in Mr. Ford's ballwick when the Jews turn their batteries on the breastworks. For an侵入 man (self confessed) Mr. Ford's knowledge of the Jews is interesting, if true. We are strongly inclined to the belief that Mr. Ford's onslaught against the Jews will act as a bouncering against him. Judge Hilton, who tried his hand at Jew-baiting at Saratoga, many years ago, found it a losing game and when the fight was over the Jews were the owners of the hotel from which Judge Hilton sought to exclude them. Mr. Ford, we opine, is not big enough mentally nor financially but burdens Jewry of America and colonisers of the world, for they will make it the most expensive games of dollars he has ever attempted to play. Henry Ford is an Irishman whose race is being persecuted and outraged in Ireland by the English just now. ```markdown ``` On Wednesday evening last Dr. Chas D. Martin, pastor of the Bath-T Philah-Moravian church, invited a number of gentlemen to meet informally Mr. Sol T. Plantje, of Kimberly, South Africa, who is touring this country in the interest of his mission work among the Kimberly native miners. Among those present were the guest of honor, Mr. Plantje, Mr. Semango of Kimberly, Mr. David W. Parker, Mr. A. S. Schomburg, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Harry Martin, Professors Craig and W. H. Ferris, editor of The Negro World, the host, and Bruce Grit, contributing editor of The Negro World. The evening was passed most pleasantly in delightful conversation. The host, the learned Dr. Martin, gave an illuminating and instructive talk on etymology and philology which evoked considerable discussion and merriment. The doctor maintained that a man's speech "betrayeth" him; that he could not bide his racial identity even though living in a foreign land, any more than could a cockney or Yorkshireman. He contended that there are certain words and phrases he should use in such a context to an observant listener the race or country to which he belongs. He criticized "English" as it is spoken by some people who imagine that they A RINGING MESSAGE FROM SAN PEDRO DE MACORIS. January 21, 1921. Dear Fellowmen of the Island, also to whatever European nation you belong, you are my racial countryman. And therefore has right to my sympathy; as a well bred and enlightened countryman my duty is to push you in the way of progress. I love my country and with it all my people. Our country is not the least where advancement among the colored race is concerned. In our own midst we have men of noble capacity, men who are trying to elevate our caste to a higher stand in this modern world. You have in your presence, Jacob H. Clarke, Arthur J. Rohan, Peter John Bell, John M. Laviest, who are the prime agents and founders of the "United Mercantile Trading Corporation" in the United States. You have in San Pedro de Macoris, R. D. Charles Henry Wilson, who through investment is a man of considerable capital. Why then should you not exhort yourself to invest in profitable and reliable corporations? The means that cotton and prosperous cultures have put to your advantage is not all of the present age. Remember that in helping Negroes' corporations, you are helping yourself and your Race. I advise you because I have done for myself and wish the same for you all. Remember, there is advantage and progress at this present age for this our glorious Race. Awake and look towards the future; opportunity is open, the earlier you enter the better for yourself and the cause. The "United Mercantile Corporation" will permit you to have necessary goods at your hands at a better price than you can actually get at St. Martina, and those of you who buy shares it would be more advantageous to you. The world, open wide, offers to you, each offers that will mark your future with happiness. INVEST IN THE "UNITED MERCANTILE CORPORATION" AND IN THE BLACK STAR LINE CORPORATION.

Jan. 17 The musical organization of the Bordertown School are making rapid progress in their development, under Mr. Eugene Mitchell, who has charge of the band and Mr. Fred Work, who has charge of the vocal music.

In addition, the school will also play a duo, the musical organizations will serve a tour of the state giving concerts at the music center. really speak that language. He gave some amazing examples of New Yorker English and pleased for the use of a more cultural and exact use of the language which Shakespeare wrote and spoke. The discussion became animated at times, and Schonberg discovered his Spanish origin by using the word "to-ate" for "theatre," which the table roared. After the doctor's talk, wherein he revealed himself as a purist in the use of English language, he called on Mr. David W. Parker, M. W. G. of the Grand Lodge of Negro Masons of New York, who made a felious five-minute talk, in which he conveyed to the guest of honor the good will and good fellowship of those assembled around the festive board, and gently sought to ascertain if the honored gentleman was a member. Brother David then sat down and Dr. Martin in bappy phrase, presented the guest of honor, who made a few witty preliminary remarks and then talked interestingly and entertainingly of how they make and "raise men" in South Africa. He said he was not a Mason now, but that he had some knowledge of the work which the Porch Society is doing to prepare the men of Africa to become more efficient and useful members of society and to themselves. Brother David's syllabus as Mr. Plantie went on to describe the methods of the natives in preparing their members to become real Porch. He said it took them three months to work a degree, and intimated that a yoke of forty oxen could not pull one of the secrets of the bush out of a member of the Porch. A splendid collation, which was heartily enjoyed, followed, and the party broke up at a late hour after voting Dr. Martin to be a genial and generous host. Gilpin, the Negro star, by his sensible and dignified and temperate reply to those who have been trying to excite him to rash utterance in the matter of his elimination as a guest from a dinner to be given to certain exclusive professionals in this city, has shown himself to be a level-headed, clear-thinking, practical sort of chap with a tolerably decent contempt for humbidity and hypocrisy and too much of a gentleman to force his presence on those who are gentlemen by courtesy only. Real gentlemen have no quibble about operating with talented and able men to be a man of character, who happen to be black or brown. In the daisyacy of brains there is no color line. Mr. Gilpin has won a greater victory than he knows by his clever declination to be made the issue in a foolish aquabable of the catfish aristocrats who imagine that color is the standard of the gentleman. It isn't. Mr. Gilpin knows it. So do we. ganization for many functions in this section have been so numerous that it has been impossible to fill them all.

A. for 1821 was held on Sunday, the 16th inst., in the school room. The meeting was begun by singing the hymn, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," after which prayer was offered by the secretary. The chief officers present were: Mr. Thomas N. Nooman, vice-president; D. R. Ewart, secretary; Mrs. S. Ewart, Assistant Treasurer, and 18 other members. The secretary read the minutes of the last meeting and letters from the Chapinia-General and Rev. A. W. Charles, secretary of the Chaparra Branch. The vice-president explained his mission to Chaparra, and also that of the secretaries as a deputation to present a petition drawn up to obtain permission for a hall to hold the meetings of our own association. It was moved by Mr. S. Smilek, and seconded by Mr. C. White, that the charter for this Division should not be unveiled on the 23rd inst., because adequate preparations had not been made. A motion by Mr. Eward, which was seconded by Mr. I. Bennett, and a motion by Mr. S. Smilek, which was seconded by Mr. G. Kelly, that each member should be called upon to contribute proportionately to defray the expense of the Chaplain General. Mr. S. Smilek in his address called upon those present "To wake up and do their duty." The president is his address said this is not the time when people should be told "To flee from the wrath to come," for it is quite perceptible at the present time. "Look at the vast numbers that are being thrown out of work in the States and other places every day—what will they do if some place is not prepared for their reception? The U. N. I. A. is preparing Africa for their reception." The Negro papers are preaching the same doctrine in every issue. It was moved by the secretary, and seconded by Mr. S. Smikle, that in view of the coming of the Chaplain-General on the 23d inst., preparations be made to receive and entertain him. The meeting adjourned with singing and prayer. D. E. EWART, Secretary.

I cannot see the consistency, the right of it. You must not yield up your jobs so easily. You have a right to them, and it is a question what you must make up your minds to do; and that is the demand what is appropriate to do. If it is anything you will never get anything. It is better to die demanding what is yours than starve getting nothing. That's how I feel, and since they have done nothing, in another ten or fifteen days we will have a Delegation up in Albany, and from Albany the delegation will go to Washington and ask what do they mean.

But they could tell why they were Norman, and the Eskimo was just from the Negro, either. So they knew the Negro was, their friend. When the white man came, they had to ask: "What comes there?" and he had to answer: "Friend." But they did not have to ask that when they saw the black man coming; they knew before he came that he was a friend. However, we are going to ask them a question, as I told you a while ago; for since the politicians have not done anything we have got to play little politics now. But, above all, men, I want you to remember that now is the time for you to support the Universal Liberian Construction Loan—you men who have fifty dollars; you men who have a hundred dollars; you men who have three hundred dollars, or two hundred dollars. Now is the time for you to invest part of your money so as to enable us in another couple of weeks to secure the ship which we want to go to Africa. The ship is right down at the foot of eight-second street now. We can have it under contract this very hour; but the ship has to go for another twenty-riz days, because we haven't the money to sign up the contract. The ship costs $800,000. Oh, some of you think a ship can be bought for $800. (Laughter!) ships in these days cost a million, two million dollars, five hundred thousand dollars, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and so on; and when you get a ship for $250,000 you have got a cheap ship.

Day work available. Actors are up in arms because of the reported refusal of the Drama League to invite to their banquet at the McAlpin on March 6 Charles Gilpin. Mayor star of "The Emperor Jones" now playing at the Princess Theatre. According to the story Gilpin's race is the only thing that bares him. Each year the Drama League gives a dinner, inviting to it the ten members of the dramatic profession who have contributed the most to the theatre. These are selected by card balloting. But it was asserted that this year the Gilpin received the requisite number of votes, they had been manipulated or "gerrymandered" so that he was excluded. Davy Day Version. Leonne V. Day, secretary of the league, denied this, saying the result of the bullying would not be known until Saturday, she admitted, however, that "those indications at present does not appear Mr. Gilpin will refuse the required number of votes to qualify him as a guest of honor." Indication is general among those who have been invited. They refuse to accept Miss Day's version, asserting they well known that the results of the bullying are now known and that, although Gilpin is within the favored list, he has not been invited. An official statement, in which the writers refused to attend the Drama stage dinner unless Gilpin was pres- sident, was issued by Ben-Ami of "Sami- ah" and Delilah" Dudley Digges of Northbreak House," Lee Simonson, head director of the Theatre Guild, and Philip Moeller and George Cram sake playwrights: The undersigned men and women of the theatre, appreciating creative and interpretative ability wherever it appears and from wherever it springs, and its duty to publicly express our dedication at the allied decimators by the Drama League against the antiquated Negro actor, Charles E. Shipin, new appearing in New York in the title role of *The Emperor Jones*. "O'Neill Won't Attend. "It has come to our notice that Mr. Shipin, for no other reason than that he is a colored man, has been eliminated as one of the guests at the Drama League dinner to ten actors and witnesses of distinction on March 4, and this is spite of the fact that Mr. Shipin's work in "The Emperor Jones" won him a place in the Drama League balloting to establish the year's biggest contributors to dramatic life. Confirmation or denial of this act prohibition has been refused by the unembleable officers of the Drama Society.

Gilen Varel, another invited guest, sent this tribute to the league: "If you will invite Gilpin I will be proud to sit next to him. God forbid that artists should do the American stage such a wrong as has been imputed to you with respect to Gilpin." Emgrene G.

LATIN-AMERICA DESIRES SELF-GOVERNMENT Open letter to President-elect Harding, Palm Beach, Fla.: Sir: You are not unaware of the cruelties and abuses the Sante Domingues and Haytians had and have to undergo for the last five years in their respective native home at the mercy of the U. S. drunken marines, who have the exclusive military control of the two week Caribbean Negro republic. You have also been informed of the fact that a new constitution was submitted to the members of the playman Congress who, having repealed same were forced to leave said Congress by the U. S. bayonets. At present Admiral Snowden wishes to impose also a new constitution on the Dominicans who hate him and his flag. All these barbarous acts perpetrated on Pan-Americans and Negroes have had a most gruesome impression in all Latin-America, have put a blot, a strain on the history of the United States which all the soap manufacturers at Marseilles are unavailable to erase. You do not ignore that December last at one of the first sessions of the League of Nations at Geneva the Monroe Doctrine has been forever repudiated unanimously by the delegates of Canada and of Latin-America; 21 delegates of the Western Hemisphere at a wurfly assembly have trapped underfoot that excellent doctrine of President Monroe, which has lately become a farce as far as the Latin-American republics are concerned. What is the real meaning of those eloquent and handsome words pronounced during the world war by President Wilson: Justice, liberty, democracy, etc.? What about the self-determination of smaller nations and weaker races? At a Latin and Negro American point of view we see today what a Teuton victory would have meant. We do not wish Uclee Sam to meddle in the internal affairs of any nation, especially of any of the twenty Latin-American sister republics where the U. S. people and government are abhorred forever. We sincerely hope, Mr. President-elect, that in short, under your republican management, you will relinquish your hold on these countries and so allow the worthy inhabitants of some an opportunity to govern themselves. I am, sir, Yours for genuine democracy. FILOGENES MAILLARD. Havana, Cuba, Feb. 2, 1921. MRS. HARDING GREETS Mrs. Harding, wife of President-elect Harding, was interviewed by a representative of this bureau. She was extremely busy packing and preparing to move from her Wyoming avenue home, but was willing to extend a greeting of cheer to the colored people of the nation. She said: "I thank the colored press for the support which they gave to Senator Harding." When introduced to Mrs. M. L. Gray, president of the Negro Women's National Republican League, she extended her hand and with a smile that one could see came from the heart stated. "The wonderful support that was given to Senator Harding by the colored women of our great nation shall ever be green in my memory, and I know Senator Harding will give to the colored citizens of our nation a square deal." THE NEGRO WOLRD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921 POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE A SONNET IN MEMORY OF LUCIAN B. WATKINS. BY THOMAS MILLARD HENRY. What is so as and who a poet dies. Whose song was sweet and bold, whose face was black. Whose audience had not evolved, black? To cherish all he brought them from the skies? The swine has had a pearl. How few the eyes? That followed him when on that horse's back He soared up through the air that has no track. To where none but Apollo's darlings sang. He sang and "loved and lost," but nevermore. Will such sad themes be his; for at the gate Of Elysium he'll learn a song. With raptures deeper than was his bo- fore. High love of song admits one in that state Forever'—think, forever's very long. FREDERICK DOUGLAS By THOMAS MILLARD MENRY Some men are strong as powers be- hind the throne By virtue of supreme potential force, And rank with glorious rulers in their course; And so was Douglas universally known. When 'er his race a scathing drought was blown. He took their part "for better or for worse." Through hope's long famine, and un- locked the source. And let forth saving water from the stone. The Hebrews look with greatest pride to Moses. And Greece and Rome each had their favorite son; The modern age some premier names disclosed. Immortal names like Touslant, Wash- ington; Now to this galaxy shall we bequest This Douglas, one of Freedom's loveliest. THE COLORED CHILD'S LAMENTATIONS. God help the little colored child, And with her please abide. To help her bear the prejudice That comes from every side. Be with her in her daily toll, And when her work is o'er; Be with her when she goes to live Where sorrow is no more. No matter whither she may roam. CEMENT Can Look Forward with She finds it hard to bear The taunting tongues of the unknown Unicee she has your care. It seems so hard to understand The attitude of those Who try to hurt another one, But oh, some day, who knows? A mighty battle may occur In honor or our right To live as other men will live. Are we to win the fight? O Lord a new hope we desire, To meet the other race. To let them see and know our hearts, And win a higher place! Oh, why have we been the oppressed? And suffered all in vain? Are we to have our equal rights? Are we to make the gain? Our eyes are open, and we see The wrongs done to our race. But when the battle has been fought, We'll win a higher Grace' AURELIA S. CAINE, Boston, Mass. THE MESSAGE OF FREEDOM. Like the cry of a wounded apple 'Tis borne on the keening wind. The voice of the persecuted. The call of human kind. At first 'It is only a confused sound, With weird and eerie echoes. That seems to lock my very footsteps. Like the limbs of one in death's throaca. And often it steals upon me, An exultant, deeper note And a pain, halt so, half laughter, Leape up into my throat Like the bird, hearing the spring call, I try to answer too. But the white man's civilization Kills the note it breaks through. Oh, ye may not know me now For an imposter dwells among you, When the white man calls my name, She, answering, mocks at you. But my voice is growing stronger, In my limbs I feel new strength, My breath, too, is growing longer, That I may answer at length. Some have long called me Liberty, Pleadingly and prayerfully.

The Universal Negro Improvement Association and its President-General Marcus Garvey preached for four years during the war period industrial preparedness among all Negroes. The President-General told the people that they should save their money and invest a part of it in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and in the Black Star Line, so that these organizations could build factories, buy and build steamships, and open up industrial activities in Africa, to build up a country of our own and thereby take care of the millions of Negroes who would be thrown out of work after the war. Whilst Mr. Garvey preached this doctrine of preparedness and warned the people, some Negro newspapers in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk and Newport News, and men like Cyril Briggs of the Crusader, and DuBois of the Crisis, criticized Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star Line. They wrote terrible things to discourage the people and make them suspicious, as if some one was trying to rob or exploit them. The Negro being over-suspicious, having been exploited so often, turned a deaf ear to the plea of Marcus Garvey. Everybody said Garvey and his followers were crazy and that they were a "bunch of illiterates." Very few of the race had the sense and confidence to appreciate the doctrine that Marcus Garvey taught for four years. The few who understood, bought shares in the Black Star Line, through which the corporation was able to purchase two ocean going ships fitted only for coastwide trade between America and Central America and West Indian ports, but the corporation was not supported to the extent of purchasing bigger ships for the trans-Atlantic route for trading with Africa. Our critics of the Negro newspapers tried their best to defeat our plan by harrassing us in public print under the guise of friendly criticism as some of them tried to camouflage. What's the result? Some of the newspapers not mentioned are now out of business. Some of them were paid by white men to write down the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line and Marcus Garvey, so that they could perpetually keep down the Negro, as this man Garvey and his movement were doing too much to open people's eyes. The critics succeeded and now thousands, and later on millions of Negroes will be out of employment and no one to help them, because they harkened to the ways of the critics and did not support the Black Star Line nor the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You men who earned $100, $80, $70, $60, $50, $40, $30 and $25 per week during the last five years, who are you going to blame for unemployment among you? Who earned your money for you? Did you not earn it for yourself What did you do with it? Buy silk shirts at $10, $15 and $20? Silk socks at 32, $3, $4 and $5 each? Overcoats for $500, $400, $100, $200, $100 and $75? Buy expensive furniture for thousands of dollars, which is not yet paid for, and which will be lost to you and forfeited to the furniture company if you don't pay up every month regularly even though you are now out of work? You drove in automobiles. You went to every dance and party held in town. You flirted with half a dozen girls and bought expensive presents for each and every one. You bought diamond rings and pins. You bought expensive suits and shoes. You lived as though you were millionaires. You lived in expensive apartments. You spent one hundred per cent. of what you earned during the war. You shouted, "Oh, Garvey is crazy." "That Black Fool should be in jail." "That Back of Africa Crowd ought to be shot." "That Crazy Garvey Bunch." WHO IS CRAZY NOW WHO IS OUT OF A JOB NOW? WHO HAS NOWHERE TO GO NOW? WHAT CAN THE NEWSPAPER CRITICS DO FOR YOU? Go to their offices and ask them for bread and see what they will do. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has done its best as also the Black Star Line and Marcus Garvey. Yet some of the Negro newspapers, some of the Negro preachers and some of the people were against us and we were handicapped. Africa is calling with her untold opportunities, but we haven't the ships on which to send away the people. Negro critics are a curse to the race. They criticize and condemn everything, and of themselves can do nothing to help when the crisis comes. Whom must we blame for unemployment? ANSWER YOURSELF. I cannot come, I am fettered; Bound in illegal serfdom. My condition must be bettered Ere I may answer, "Freedom." H. ELIZABETH DOWDEN. LUCIAN B. WATKINS' POEMS TO BE PUBLISHED Editor the Negro World. Dear Sir:—The death of Lucian B Watkins in Fort McHenry Hospital last week will be lamented by the readers of the Negro World. To this paper he was a frequent contributor in prose and verse. Everything he wrote bore the stamp of a noble and superior mind. His poetry was thoughtful and impassioned, and he has left behind with me a large manuscript book of it, that I might attend to its publication. I have lately been carefully and critically going through these poems to arrive at a just estimate of them, for his benefit. Alas, he will never see his book in print—a long cherished hope. As his literary executor, so appointed by him nearly two years ago, I shall endeavor to give his poems to the public as early as arrangements for publication can be made. They should not be permitted to perish with his earthly form. No one can read his last poem, which has the proverbial sweetness of the dying swan's song, without saying to himself, "A genius is bidding a sad, sweet farewell to earth." ROBERT T.

D. is rector, has removed into a splendid plant that was formerly the white parish of St Andrew. The plant has complete church, parish house and rectory. When built, it cost in the neighborhood of seventy-five thousand dollars. Through the efforts of Bishop Brent and friends, the splendid plant was purchased for much less than its real value. The first service was held on Ash Wednesday. The church, which scathe over 500, was crowded then and on the following Sunday. A vested choir of fifty voices and the acolytes participated in the services. The formal dedication services will be held in May when the Parish of St. Philip celebrates its sixtieth anniversary.

LONDON, Feb. 18.—Premier Lloyd George today warned that the period of danger is not yet passed. "The world is still reeling under the terrible blow—it is reattent and do moralised," he declared in addressing the Welsh Liberals in Central Hall. "I am engaged in a terrible task," he declared. "It is far more important than defending myself. "Who says the danger is past? I wish to God everybody could, because it worries me and fills me with dread. "if somebody with authority—with vision—whose word I could accept, could tell me, 'yes, the danger is over.' I would be so glad that I would sign my resignation tomorrow." "But," he added, "they say they won't take it. They must have an Irish republic, an Irish army, an Irish navy. They won't get it, and if they don't get it, we are told, they will kill our policemen, our soldiers—not in open fighting, but hiding in homes, walking as respectable tenant farmers or swaggering along the road until they come to a hiding place. "Are we to allow that sort of thing to be done without protecting the people we are sending there? (Cries of "no.") There is no issue between us and our political opponents on home rule. "There is an issue about setting up an independent country by our very gates—by the places where submarines used to lurk and sink our ships and endanger our commerce and the life of the nation. There is an issue as to whether the policemen and soldiers who are there upholding the honor of our flag are to be shot down by men who lurk in houses. I know of no other issue."

On Friday night, last, a high wind passed over the town rooting up the large tamarack tree in White's property on Gabouré Lane which fell across the street and blocked the traffic for some time. The tree must have been in existence for some considerable time as it was seen by several old residents in town from their early days. We learn that the schooner "Cesaria" owned by Mr. J. E. Carrillo, was caught in the weather and wrecked somewhere among the caves. "The Sansparell," the well known racing slope of Mr. Forman also suffered the same fate. AFRICAN AFFAIRS (From The Liberian News.) The Proposed Construction Work of the U. N. I. A. We feel pleased, indeed, to note that the Universal Negro Improvement Association proposes to start an unique construction work early in 1921, when the first ship of the "Black Star Line" is expected to sail on the African Trade with workmen and the necessary materials for building, etc., to begin this construction work in the city of Monrovia, which has been selected for their headquarters. This ship is intended to bring American manufactured goods, such as agricultural implements, all classes of commercial goods, and a large variety of American lumber, in exchange for all kinds of African products, such as palm oil, palm kernels, cocoa, coffee, plassava, ivory, ground-nut, maize, and all kinds of oil-seeds of which the country largely abounds, and has a spontaneous growth. The greater portion of these products have been and are still being shipped to Great Britain and France in large quantities, who have played well their part on the commercial stage of action, and are now slowly passing off to give our brothers across the sea seats on the stage so they, too, can play their role on the commercial stage of action, in order that their brothers in Liberia, especially, can enjoy the sweets of their fatherland. When we take into consideration the vast undeveloped resources of the country, which has never been explored or exploited even by her own citizens, to say nothing about the white man, and which abounds in gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, diamonds of every hue, and other valuable quartz, we can easily see why it was, that notwithstanding hundreds of applications for concessions for various industries have been made to our Government by Europeans—but they have as often been rejected; for God, in His all-wise Providence was keeping the riches of this country for our brothers until they were ready to possess it. We also note with high appreciation that The Universal Negro Improvement Association is raising a construction loan of two million dollars from its members to begin the construction work in Liberia. We highly commend this step in the premises, for with Mr. Johnson, the Potentate, who is also a genius of great constructive ability, at the head, we are not fearful to any with a loud voice, that success is near We are sorry to say that in consequence of the outbreak of the sporadic form of small pox in the city of Monorovia, just a few days prior to Mr. Johnson's return home, and which through the suggestion of the Sanitary Commission, His Excellency, President King issued a proclamation prohibiting all public gatherers during the life of this disease. Mr. Johnson has been unable to make his report to the Monorovia branch of the U. N. I. A. and as soon as this disease shall have abated, and things become normal again, and Mr. Johnson shall have, made his report, we vouch that there will not be left one stone upon another to prohibit him making the necessary preparation to assist in the construction work to begin the early part of 1931. BARBADOS. A fire at the Hotel Pomeroy on Tuesday, last, badly damaged the lavatories situated in the right wing of the top story of the building. The ceiling had to be knocked down. "Lounger" in the Barbados Times states: "Sergeant Brooker, of the Bahamas Police Force, is visiting this island on a recruiting mission. Thirty men were required for the Constabulary of Bahamaa. Out of seventy applicants the requisite number has been selected, and these along with the Sergeant will be sailing shortly for their destination. The inducements offered in the Bahamaa were sufficient to tempt good men in the local force to resign. I understand that some of the Bahamaa recruits are ex-Barbados policemen. The force offers so little attraction that vanacies remain all the time unfulfilled and regularly men whose term of service has expired refuse to re-serve. Although there, are three resident surgeons employed at the General Hospital, persons seeking medical attention at night are forced to remain attended for hours on a stretcht. This should not be.

If you have pride, if you feel that by co-operation we can make conditions better, if you believe that the black boy or black girl is the equal of other boys and girls of other races, then prove it now by co-operating to demonstrate our manhood and womanhood, not by talking, but by doing things. The general objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, are: To establish a universal confraternity among the race; to promote the spirit of pride and love; to administer to and assist the needy; to assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa; to strengthen the nationalism of independent Negro States in Africa; to establish commissionaries or agencies in the principal countries of the world; for the protection of all Negroes, irrespective of nationality; to establish universities, colleges and schools for the racial education and culture of our young men and women; to conduct a worldwide commercial and industrial intercourse for the benefit of the race; to work for better conditions, among our people; to promote industries and commerce, for the benefit of Negroes. If these objects do not appeal to you, then you are dead to all some of race pride and race manhood.

Now that industrial conditions have reached such a low ebb, these men seem to prefer residence in their native home to adjourn in a country where there is snow and where the chances of colored, men obtaining employment are many degrees below zero. By the Colored Syndicate Press Bureau. Washington. D. C. It is possible that from this year on, the 15th of February will be set aside as Women's Independence Day. It is the anniversary of the birth of Susan B. Anthony, whose work laid the foundation not only for the political freedom of the women of this country, but for their right to education, economic independence and every kind of political life. This year the day will be celebrated by the unveiling of a memorial statue to the three suffrage ploneora, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. The statue is just been completed by Mrs. Adelia Johnson and represents the heads of the three leaders. It is to be presented to the National Capitol. In the ceremony of tribute all the great national organizations of women in the country will take part, including the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. It is fitting that all women should be represented when all women have profited by the work of the early leaders, and practically all THE NEGRO WOLRD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921 Many leading up-to-date hotels: large cinemas for employees and performers; baseball managers for their man; recognized in U.

THOMAS FORNEY, AGE 69 YEARS, FATHER OF 25 CHILDREN: ALL LIVING Living costs furnish this couple a real problem, since 14 children and two grandchildren live at home. Forney's family consists of himself and wife and 25 children, all of whom are living. Nine have married and live away from home. He believes he has the largest family in the country. The family moved to Columbia from Asheville, N. C., last spring and recently made a first payment on a five-room house on Talmadge avenue. "I don't know the names of all my children, except the pet names we gave them," says Forney, "but my wife can call of them by their first names because she sort of acts as secretary for the family." Forney is 69 years old and the present Mrs. Forney, mother of 18 of the children, is 40. His first wife is living. 63RD ST. DIVISION, NEW YORK. STILL GOING STRONG February 8, 1921 We are proud to be honored by a visit from the Hon. J. B. Yearwood, Assistant Secretary General, also Major Harrigan and his staff, including members of the Black Cross and Motor Corps Division, during one of our regular meetings in last month. We discussed matters of grave importance to the chapter and community at large-buying a grocery—and outlined to the members the duties of the Black Cross and Legion. The honorable gentleman's address was based on the commercial existence of the U. N. I. A. His incitement to buy bonds for the grocery was very forceful, founded on the principles of the U. N. I. A. Major Harrigan and his staff were introduced. He explicitly expressed the present functions and requirements of the Legion and Black Cross and encouraged the members towards joining the various military departments. At the end of each speech bonds were sold and names enlisted for the Legion and Black Cross respectively. Open First grocery store. On Saturday, January 29, we threw open the doors of our first grocery store. This store is located at 203 West Sixty-first street. Negotiations are under way for a supply of stocks to meet the requirements of the people. Members of the race in the vicinity are requested to make their purchases there and so help themselves and the cause. Our success depends on ours- selves. It is the hope of this division to operate a chain of stores around the colored zone of the streets. (Signed) THOS. H. TRIM. General Secretary. NEGRO ACTS AS JUDGE OF MUNICIPAL COURT Richmond, Ind., Feb. 12—Corneiln R. Richardson, prominent colored attorney of this city, was appointed by Judge W. A. Bond of the Wayne Circuit Court as special judge to hear three cases of alleged liquor law violations in circuit court. Mr. Richardson has been acting Judge of the Municipal Court during THIS IS OF INTEREST To Every Negro Have you ever stopped to think of the thousands of dollars spent daily by colored people in a community like Flarem, or any other community with a large colored population? How much of this money gets back in your pocket in case we, or another? Not much, eh? How do job account for that? Easy enough when you step to think that there are not enough businesses controlled and operated by colored people in proportion to their numbers in any given community. If fifty per cent of the money spent by us daily for commissions of every kind would spent among ourselves, do you realize the tremendous advantage the race would have? Of course, you can appreciate how far our economic interest would be advanced. Now let us suppose that right here in Harlem we had factories manufacturing the things, that we must all purchase every day, and stores in which to sell them—do you realize what this would mean? Such a condition would mean: (1) Employment for hundreds of colored men and women in every capacity, executive, clerical and otherwise. (3) We would be laying up treasures for ourselves, and at the same time laying a firm economic foundation. NOW, THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION has been organized to build, own and operate factories all over these United States, the West Indies, Central and South America and Africa, in the interest of colored people, for colored people and to be run wholly by colored people. DOES THIS PROGRAM APPEAL TO YOU? Very well, we must have money with which to build these factories and operate them. Already we have established A STEAM AND HAND LAUNDRY and a MILLIBRARY STORE. THESE ARE ONLY BEGINNERS. Shares in the NEURO FACTORIES CORPORATION are selling at $19.50 each. Will you invest in as many shares as you are able to purchase and keep the reward that is bound to follow the investment? LET YOUR HEAD WERE WITH YOU When you invest Five ($5.00) or Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) in the shares of stock it means that at the end of the financial year you will gather so much more money by way of dividends. If you want to make money, if you want to insure a better future, you will invest today, and right away now in the the past week, due to the illness of Mayer W. W. Hammerman. In this position he has received efficient service. His appointment to the bench of Circuit Court was the first time in the history of the county that a colored man had been so hirsited. THE JOHNSON BILL (By the Colored Syriacate From Bursa) WASHINGTON, D. C. — Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, and Senator Ellison D. Smith, of South Carolina, oppose the Johnson compensation bill because it will benefit thousands or more colored employees of the Nation. Senator Johnson of California is perking his bill with all the vipers at his command and states that every man in the employment of the government, regardless of color, will be benefited by this bill. "Color does not interest me," the Senator stated, "it is for the masses of the people that I am pushing this bill. "I do not propose to enter into an academic discussion of the necessity for this sort of a measure, nor do I propose, except as addenda to my remarks, in explanation of this bill, to take the statistical reports of the various organizations supporting the necessary cost of living to-day. I wish, however, to impress upon the Senate one paramount fact, and that in that any man who gives a decent day's work is entitled to a decent day's pay, and that three dollars ($3.00) is scarcely that. After all, it is ordinary people who determine the necessary cost of living. It is the ordinary man's life which determines finally what is a living wage, and what is indelible, a under which, as an American officer, he may be permitted to punish his volunteer and may be permitted to live as an American and enjoy things which Americans ought to enjoy. ee er a ree aR Tepe Lives AMER NC) Eiht iis adh Dainngere uh eae eiuar tune atest Gk hte, tee.
