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.

The white people planned to get every niche that they paid to you; and we fell for it. We bought silk shirts at $10 apiece, and $18 apiece. We bought shoes at $88 and $25 a pair. We bought ladies' dresses at $100 a suit; we bought the most expensive hats, silk socks at $2 a pair and $2 a pair, and $1.50 a pair AT THE (laughter), and we took extensive rides and paid $24 for a Sunday afternoon ride, and we did all kinds of things of that sort. Some of us had six girls and gave presents to each of them. (Laughter.) "Then we spent every nickel of what we received. How Much Did We Give? Did anyone else live at the same rate at which the Negro then lived? Did the Italian live at that rate? Did the Jew live at that rate? They did not. The Jews saved at least fifty per cent, of what they earned. The Italian saved at least sixty per cent, of what be earned. The Irish saved at least fifty per cent, of what he earned. And at the end of the war every one of them had a bank account to show. Everyone of them had some investment in Irish interests to show. How much did we save? What interest have we to show? Absolutely none. Whose fault is it? It is the fault of the people; it is the fault of more, of the leaders. You cannot no much blame the people, because the bulk of the people do not think, the bulk of the people follow the advice of their leaders, and the people or that Race that has no leaders is a Race that is doomed. Negroes never had any leaders at any time. That is why we have always been doomed. When we preached the doctrine of preparedness, men like Dubois criticized the U. N. L. A. and its leader. All of you can remember that when we started, the propaganda of the U. N. L. A. and the Black Star every newspaper and magazine in New York tried to down us. The Amsterdam News" wrote against us; the "New York News" wrote against us; the "Grunder" wrote against us; the "Challenge" wrote against us; the "Ennacintzer" wrote against us; everyone of them wrote against us, and discouraged the people. Whose fault is it now?

White folks have stepped looking out for Negroes; they stopped before there was a war. The war robbed them of all that there was in the world. Now they have nothing because, they have used up all that is in the world. It is a question now of every man looking out for himself. That is all. The white man is dead to your sympathy and to your cry. You may cry and be for jobs he will not give you except you are the only fellow who can fill that job that he wants done. But the first man of his own race he finds able to fill that job with the same ability as you have, you are gone. And he does not wait to ask where the white man comes from. He only wants to know he is a white man, and out you go. He does not wait to know where you are from. He says you are a Negro, and out you go. before they get shy. We have been bitter for 200 years and up to now we are not shy yet. What do I mean? I want you members to act as living missionaries to convince others. There are still Negroes here who can help and buy shares in the Black Star Line. Those of you who have done your duty, I am not speaking to you; but there are those in the Liberian Construction Loan. There is a hungry man, he has not a rickin in his pocket and he is begging bread. There is another man with a thousand dollars. The one man without money to buy bread can neither help himself nor his fellow man. The man with a thousand dollars cannot only help himself, but he can help downs of others, but he is too selfish. He like the other man, has no money, has no job, and he says: I am just going to hold on to this thou- ment Association. If you respect the man made in three years without anything at all, where we are now that we can comfort the greater succice you to support Universal Negro Clan. I want to of you have confidence in the Universal Negro Society. Hold you taneously hands was of the hall.) I think faith. I thank you to but man and woman not a question of any other man. I do yourselves. What you yourself. Marvels. Save anybody because is but human like- Now what we must do? We are asking to the man of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to the Negro race. I am speaking only to those who have confidence. If you do not have any confidence in your own race movements, I am sorry for you, and I would ask you to go your way. Man must have confidence in something and in some one. Without confidence the world is lost. Mankind has retragraded and the world has gone back. The world is built upon confidence—confidence in some one, confidence in some institution, confidence in something. We live as rational human beings, social human beings, because we have confidence in people and in God the creator. Let a man lose his confidence in his people and in a God, and chans is fathered in and anarchy sweeps the world and human society is destroyed. It is only the belief and the confidence that we have in God, the man who has fathered his own institutions and move and live like rational human beings. Take away the highest ideal—the highest faith and confidence in God, and mankind at large is destroyed. As with your confidence in God, as with your confidence in religion, whether it be Christianity or any other religion, so must you have confidence in your institutions that mean anything to you as individuals and as a community. Now I am saying to you who have confidence in the Universal Negro Improvement Association—and if you have no confidence you should not be here. I am here because I have confidence that the men and the women who make up the movement will continue and continue until victory be written on the banner of the red, the black and the green. (Cheerah.) I am here because I have confidence in humanity; I am here because I have confidence in God, and I expect that all those who wear the red, the black and the green are here because they have confidence in the ultimate triumph of this great cause of curse. (Cheerah.) If you have confidence; if you have faith in it as you have confidence and faith in your religion, therefore it is time for you to support the movement and make it the success that you have achieved, to support the half-hearted one, but it is the first practical demonstration of the utility of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You have seen the first mistake made by this race of curse, as I have tried to preach to you in these few years—the mistake during the war period. I am asking you now not to repeat or not to make the same mistake. I know as I look into the face of many of you that the Universal Negro Improvement Association who have not done anything yet for the practical carrying out of the program of this organization have I have asked many of you if you have your Liberty line, and you say, no. I ask why? You say, well, because you are not able just now to buy. You rate your ability to buy on the surplus money you have. When you bought a share or two in the Black Star Line for $5 or $10 two years ago you did it when you were getting a salary of probably $109 or $5 a week, and you said, "I will invest $10 in the Black Star Line because you had your work and so much surplus cash; not questioned, cash it; is not questioned of dirty." is a question of your own interest. I am saying to the man and woman of the Negro race, there is but one salvation for the Negro as I see it now, and that is in the building of Liberia, West Africa. The only salvation for Negroes now is opening up industrial and economic opportunities somewhere, and I don't see it around here. You will have to create another war for it, or you will have to get another kaiser before I will see it around here. I have no objection to seeming another kaiser, and I feel sure you would have no objection either, whether he comes from Japan or anywhere, but on the second coming I believe you will be better prepared than the first coming. "Once bitten, twice shy." But you have to bite Negroes a hundred times meet Association. If you have faith, if you respect the success that we have made in three years when we started without anything and have reached where we are now; if you have faith that we can continue where we are to the greater success to be I am asking you to support the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I want to find out how many of you have confidence and faith in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Hold your hands up (simultaneously hands up wilt up from all parts of the fall). I thank you for your faith. I thank you for your confidence; but men and women, remember it is not a question of Marcus Garvey or yourself. What w. you. do to save yourselves. Marcus Garvey cannot save anybody because Marcus Garvey is but human like every other man. Jesus Christ is the only man who has the power to save. I am but a man. I cannot save you; you must save yourselves. I am only trying to advise you the way how all of us can save ourselves. If you do not heed it will not be my fault. I have stood by; I have listened and I have heard all kinds of people blaming me for what I never did. I do somebody is crazy How What can I do? I have advised you all the time how to get jobs. That all it did. If you do not have jobs now it is not my fault. I advised you to put the money you saved into a great corporation—into a great corporation of which you are members; not in some strange thing that you did not know anything about—but in your own organization. Every member of the organization has a right to know everything about the organization, so that when you put your money into it you are putting your money in your own hands. I am but one individual who helped to carry on the work of the organization, and if you do not trust yourselves who is to blame? You did not have confidence in yourselves. I am giving you a message that you may impart it to others and tell them there is still a chance; because we have not reached the worst yet; but that chance you must grasp in the next thirty days. I have met men coming to the office who have been out of work for three months and two months and one month. It brings tears to my eyes to see them. I saw a fellow whom I believe four years ago was raising "Cain" in Harlem. He used to look at me on the street and laugh and walk on; but now he has been reduced to dire straits, and he came to the office and would not leave until I gave him 60 cents. That is the way with the majority of Negroes, even among those as any other around here, and over evening you saw him on the avenue with a new and a new girl. (Laughter.) The girl are belonging to somebody else and he is down and out. (Laughter.) And that is the situation, not with one man but with hundreds of our men. We Preserved American Freedom.

Both of them face each other—two hungry men, one cannot help the other; but that me who had the thousand dollars, if he were a who man, a man of common, ordinary sense, what would be done when he finds himself without a job and with a thousand dollars only left out of his years of earnings? He would say: Is there any organization around that is endeavoring to do some good? Are there any other me around who want to do some good? If so, I will go and with a thousand dollars do some good. Yes, he will do some good. organization over there. What are they trying to do? They are trying among other things to raise two million dollars or ten million dollars to put a line of steamships on the ocean to carry hundreds of men from these ports of the world to Africa, where they are going to build factories, mills, railroads, etc., and find employment for hundreds of men. They are crying for money to put over the scheme. I will find out how far they have gone, and if it is possible that they can carry it through I will put in $500, and if the other fellow who has his thousand will be subscribed to buy ships and $2,000,000 will be subscribed to buy railroad and building materials, and we will be ready to ship men to Africa to work from January to December and open up opportunity immediately. That is what I want to understand to understand thousand dollars in your hands, out a job may find you worse off in the six months. A thousand of dollars or $200 or $100 invested in an organization may save yourself, your children and posterity. If you have no confidence I cannot advise you because I will do nothing myself except I have confidence in him. A man's confidence is his guide; a man's faith is his guide. I am only speaking to those who have faith in the Universal Negro Improve- --- the game deputation to Washington a couple of days after to ask the game question. (Cheese.) This is no time for bowing, and scraping and pusseying. It is time to let the other fellow know that you are alive (great antiquity). Negroes do not want to bag jobs; Negroes must demand jobs; that is all there is about it. (Applause.) But you must demand jobs in the proper way. Let the leaders of the race, if they are leaders, as Dubois, and men like Moten, go out and let President-elect Harding know that ten or fifteen million Negroes stood behind the country in time of war, and they must now stand behind those ten or fifteen million Negroes. (Applause.) If you have any men posing as leaders who are going about among white people bowing and scraping they will brush you aside. You must have as your leaders and representatives men who will let our high officials and other influential white people know that you are alive, and that you are going to stay alive. I cannot see the philosophy of taking any other stand but this. I cannot see the reason for it—that Negroes should be drafted and sent three thousand miles away to fight and die at the command of their country, to help make conditions and life safe for other people; that Negroes, those whom their Government did not send to war, were at home and engaged in making munitions and other necessities for carrying on the war, so as to win the victory. I repeat, I cannot see where Negroes who have made sacrifices such as these for their country, now that the (Continued on Page 7.)

I have searched all the perma, and I have not seen anything done—no attempt made; and because they have done nothing we have to start to do something. You will all understand that I am an African citizen, and I am not supposed to interfere in domestic politics; but if the other fellow will not start out, before I see the people perish, I will take my chance. I know that this nation owes a solemn obligation to the Negro, and I could not stand and the Negro perish without a hearing; and since the politicians have not spoken we shall send a delegation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the Governor of New York to find out what he means by allowing Negroes to be closed out of jobs. When Negroes and especially the boys of the New York 18th fought so nobly in France and Flanders for the preservation of American freedom in the state of the United States, mention of the State to close out Negroes and give alien enemies jobs now?

"Will you want us then?"

BUTIFUL WHITE LA, SAYS WHITE Angels Are Beautiful Africa. Honorable Marcus Garvey and are a few days ago to speak under of the Universal Negro Improve- gentleman stirred the entire city herein reported. pose of bringing these 400,000,000 Negroes under one great government to be controlled and dominated by Negroes on the great continent of Africa. Africa at this time arrests the attention of the world. Humanity everywhere, races and nations, are turning their attention towards Africa—Africa the land of hope, the land of your destiny. Four hundred million Negroes have a first claim on Africa, and it is that claim that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has organized to de-nounce the world—the claim of ownership. I want all to realize that three hundred years ago your foreparents were taken from Africa and brought into this Western Hemisphere and held to work as slaves for 250 years. The history of the slave trade is one of blood, it is one of human suffering. I will give you an insight into what your forefathers have passed through to make us what we are tonight. Three hundred years ago no Negroes were to be found in these United States of America, the West Indies and South and Central America; three hundred years ago we were to be found exclusively in Africa. Just about that time a large number of white men settled in this country, calling themselves colonists; they desired laborers to help them in the development of it; they turned to Asia and were unable to get the yellow people of that continent. At that time a man by the name of John Hawkins, afterwards knighted by the British sovereign, asked permission of Queen Elizabeth to take the blacks of Africa into her colonies of America and the West Indies. John Hawkins and his committee said they desired to use the Negroes as slaves in the development of the colonies, and said they would christianise them and civilize them in the colonies of the Western Hemisphere. In their native land they were cannibals and savages. Under these pretences the British sovereign signed the charter empowering Sir John Hawkins to remove from Africa forty million of our foreparents—forty million black men, women and children. Millions and millions of them were sold in the slave markets of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and throughout the Southern States; brothers were sold and separated one from another; parents were separated from children, children from parents. Negroes who were sold remained as slaves in the West Indies for 250 years, and in America for 250 years. West Indian Negroes were omnipolated eighty-three years ago, and those in America were emancipated fifty-six years ago by President Lincoln. Our forefathers suffered for 300 years to make us what we are, to make us the civilized men and civilized women we are now. We are now living in a civilized age, and we are called upon to play a part in the world's civilization. (Applause.) I am here as a representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to tell you what part you ought to play in the world's civilization. You are to play a man's part in the world's civilization. For 300 years they kept us as slaves; for 300 years they kept us as serfs and peas in these United States of America, the West Indian islands and South and Central America. Today the New Negro is here and he is going to play a man's part throughout the entire world. I come, therefore, to the city of Cincinnati not to apologize for anything, not to compromise anything; I come to tell you straightforwardly what the New Negro expects from the world. The New Negro desires a place in the political sun of the world. We hear the cry of "Ireland for the Irish," "Falestine for the Jews," "India for the Hindos," "Poland for the Poles," now we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are raising a cry of "Africa for the Africans." This is the time and this the opportunity. There are 400,000,000 Negroes—400,000,000 Africans — some of them in America, the West Indies and South and Central America, and this organization is endeavoring to bring them together to declare for the civil freedom of the great continent of Africa. For three hundred years 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 created as men and as men we are going to function. We are going to live as men and die as men. Hence the Universal Negro Improvement Association comes before you with a clean-out program. We are not begging for a chance; we were begging for a chance for $00 years. We are going to take a chance now. The man who begs must accept what the giver gives. We have been begging all the time and have received lynching, burning, suspension, imprisonment. What better way can we THE NEGRO WOLRD. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 28. 1921 If you want something better than that you must reach and take it. (Applause.) That is just what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is organized for. There are some cowardly Negroes who believe that they shall beg for something; but here is one man that does not mean to beg for anything. Africa belongs to the Negro people of the world. We are not 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 over the world; I have traveled into all the nooks and corners of Canada, America, Australia, New Zealand, England, France, and Germany, and whereover I go in the white man's country I am made to feel and understand it is theirs. I have been looking for a black man's country and I have not found it yet. White men have gone down into my country and have taken away all my rights; they succeeded because I did not know it was my country; my father and your forefathers did not teach us the real history of Africa, and the connection between the races of Africa. The eyes of the world are open now and Negroes can see. In this political vision that has taken hold of the world the Irishman sees the right of Ireland for the Irish! the Polo sees the right of Poland for the Pola, and Negroes also see the right of Africa for the Africans. Just as the Irishman is prepared, every man of them, to die for the freedom of Ireland, so the Universal Negro improvement Association is prepared to die for the freedom of Africa. If we cannot live as men in Australia, the United States or New Zealand, by God, we shall live as men in Africa. The Growth of the U. N. I. A. They do not like to see us over there. The only time the white man wants to see the Negro is when he is in trouble. White men have always gone out looking for trouble and then calling the Negro to help them out of it. I will give you an illustration: The Negro never had any occasion to war in 1814; he was quiet and peaceful with himself in America, the West Indies and Africa. We were not considered men, but when the Kaiser started something over in Europe they said we were men. The white man found out that it was too much for him to carry on, and he sent to America 3,000 miles away, and begged the black man to help him out. We went from Africa, America, the West Indies and South and Central America 3,000 miles across the Atlantic into France, Flanders and Mesopotamia to save the white man when he was unable to save himself. For over 200 years we have been serving the white man and serving civilization; but the New Negro is tired now of serving others and he is about to serve himself. (Applause.) This organization started in New York three 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 West Indian islands and every section of Africa. Wheresoever you go you will see 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 Negroes; and when we will have succeeded in organizing the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, we will be ready to strike the blow in Africa for complete freedom and emancipation. Men and women of Cincinnati, I have come tonight to spend a couple of days with you and to unselfishly relate the aims and purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This is no friendly society, secret order or new religious body. I am no preacher. I am not a man going about trying to appeal to the emotions of people. I have come here to help you to realise that the world in which you live is in a serious mood. The great war has brought about a great change, and humanity everywhere is starred freedom and independence. Humanity is asking for freedom and independence; hence the time has come for the Negro to strike the blow for freedom on the great continent of Africa. They have used its time and again for convenience; we have been serving them at their convenience for 800 years and we have gotten nowhere. The time has come for the Negro to sit down and plan out his own future, his own destiny. We have absolutely no use for those Negroes who believe that they should wait for other folks to help them. God Almighty created 400,000,000 of us and to be waiting for somebody who does not look like us to help us is a shame and an insult to God Himself. I do not expect any one who does not look like me or like my race to help me. I do not care whether he is the Pope or the Sailings with cargo and passengers from New York on or about the 27th March, 1921, at 3 P.M.

Duplex Manufacturing Co., Dep 100 BLACK LINES SAILINGS LIBERIA, WEST world as the lord of creation. When He placed man in the world as the lord of creation He never defined the relationship between one and another; He never said that white or yellow man, separate and distinct from black man, should rule the world. If you believe that then you have absolutely n't right to bow down to any other man. I'm fully conscious that my God created me as a man; I feel that I am a man, and, by God, I am going to live and die as a man. (Applause.) Men are created equal, equal everywhere; there is no superiority except you yourselves admit that there is. God has nothing to do with this thing of inferiority and superiority between races. Our forefathers did not understand this and did not know what to do. The Negro is in his own now: he is as bad as any other man; it is only a question of fifty-fifty between races now. The white man in England, Canada, the United States, France, Germany and Spain says "This country is mine." Negroes must say, "Africa is our." TH U. N. I. A.'s Program. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has a practical program; it is no new religion, no new doctrine; it is the old-time doctrine to win freedom; that is all we preach. The doctrine that George Washington taught in America over 140 years ago is the doctrine that I am preaching now to Negroes. If George Washington was not a radical you and I would not be in this church tonight as American citizens. When the Colonists were pressed hard by the soldiers of Great Britain, George Washington and his compatriots, men like Patrick Henry took up the cry of freedom and independence and went throughout the length and breadth of this country and taught the Colonists how to fight for their freedom. What George Washington did for the Colonists is just what I am trying to do for the black peoples of the world. I am satisfied to be as crazy as George Washington, because out of his crassness came this great republic called the United States of America. I am hoping to give the biggest republic to the world, the Republic of Africa. What is the object of living, the purpose of living, if life is to be continual and perpetual serfdom and peonage? Let me die, O God, if I am not to see the light of a greater day. Tell me that I must die a serf and peon to the world, leaving my children to be lynched and burned.

That freedom, independence and liberty must be brought about by our action today; the day of our action is now. We realise that the entire world is now reorganizing, and not only in Ohio, but in the forty-eight States of the Union of America, we have started to organize under the Universal Negro Improvement Association and, oh how splendid we have succeeded. We know of the suffering of our forefathers up to fifty-six years ago; we gave up everything then and admitted the white man was our superior, because we had no leader. If we had leaders fifty years ago, tonight Africa would be a great and powerful nation. If Frederick Douglas had fifty or sixty years ago, preached the doctrine of African freedom, you and I would not be here tonight, but would be basking in the moonlight of African greatness. But is it better late than never. Douglas did not see the vision — God bless his soul, he tried his best in his time—probably because he was not called to see the vision. You and I are called to see the vision of a free Ethiopia that we and our forefathers have dream of. We are living at the very moment, the very time that Ethiopia is stretching forth her hands unto God. The entire world is readjusting itself now. The World War has created such a disturbance of the world, that it takes more than a day, more than a year, to bring back the world to its normal status. During this slow readjustment, it falls to the Negro to find his place in the sum. You, Negroes of Cincinnati, I am warming you, because I may not see you for another year or two years, that the time for action is come. Understand what I mean when I say that the time for action is come. I am not preaching division among the races in Cincinnati, I am not stirring up strife among the races, I preach the doctrine of unity among Negroes everywhere. We desire it because upon unity lies the cairation of this race of ours "United we stand; divided we fall." We have been divided for 200 years. The white man's propaganda taught Megrae to hate and despair Megrae; the white man's propaganda. For 344 years taught Megrae to hate themselves; it turned fathers against children, children against fathers, brothers against brothers, sisters against sisters; that has been the white man's prophecy.

Will you help us to secure of Negroes everywhere by THE BLAC Is capitalized at $10,000,000 u backed in its operations by lions of Negro men and wo TWO MILLION SHARES At par value of Five Dollars guards for 300 years. 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.

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. Hon. G. M.

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.

WARNING TO THE PUBLIC Bishop Frederich Selkridge is no longer connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Should he approach any branches of the U. N. I. A., officers are requested to communicate with Headquarters immediately by telegraph. MARCUS GARVEY, President. The first regular meeting of the U. N. I. 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.

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.

It helps you stay calm and focused, and it can make you feel more confident and secure.

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.

God forbid that artists should do the American stage such a wrong as has been imputed to you with respect to Gilpin." Emgrene G. O'Malley, author of "The Emperor Jones," said that of course he would not attend the dinner "under these circumstances."—Evening Mail, New York, Feb. 17. 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. Still others cry, "Democracy." $100,000.00 BARGAIN IN SOAPS OF ALL KINDS, B POST CARDS, CALENDA LARGE AND We also have in stock thousand and Calendars. Pitfure Fram wholesale.

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.

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.

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.

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.

However, I embrace this opportunity of advising you that through four united efforts with the unity desired, we have been able to acquire our charter from headquarters and everything is moving on smoothly to the general satisfaction of our members who are active and for the general well of our race. I called from Bocas del Toro, in the province of Panama, just March, and arrived here with the sole object of establishing a branch and found every- thing here in a lethargic condition, but when the eyes of our people were confused, they became active, and al- though few of the dielects (which are the sound everywhere) perceived the gray reality of a branch established something before their commencing to be active, all kinds of methods were taught in order to throat me and switch from me the daily thing I dismissed the story of endovering to eaty and unplit our race in this sec- tion, but after due consideration the bone body saw fit to extend a charter to my branch and thus we have a compete, the others having gained pri- erty.

SUNVELLING OF CHARTER AT SAN GERONIMO, CUBA A history of the San Geronimo Mississippi, U. N. P. A., by the unveiling of the charter on January 16, 1921. This was no stone 1st unturned to blow the event an unqualified success. The part of the preparations was in progress in a separate committee, and every detail worked out to a math- echanical unity. Missouri born in harness with the Missouri militia, King Kog, as if, to suit the military discipline, the amount behind a military ship might all at once appear in the war expenses, and made the day military in the war completely reorganized. The first officer of our Liberty Hall was known, now probably at 4:58 p. m. the most senior that had already assembled for the war and to the urging of the president, Bryan, "Owney Brown, Indiana" passed into the Missouri line, where was not ever stated the war expenses, HM, and there were blood splashes without this within it. Mr. Brown, Washington, assistant chaplain, passed at the City, C. Tyrus, passed on the mail and accompanied with the President, Wade Marian, Jas- per Browning, John Sittina, vio- lence, and Abraham Mawar, treasure; the most liberal representative of the nationalist party, Hattray, president (1920-1924), Richard Barrham, al- right-wing minister and prime minister, Wilson, nationalist minister, of Egypt, Nguyen Boum, minister of the Philippines, after the war, minister of the army. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` the meeting, expressed his confidence in the distinguished persons on the platforms who would interest the audience when their turn to speak came, and that every one present would be satisfied with the ceremony. Then came the item of the hour—the unveiling of the charter. There was breathless silence as little Miles Ivy Wilburgh, daughter of the assistant chaplain, aided by Mrs. Agatha Stewart, drew the screen and revealed the charter centered between two flags, with the colors the red, the black and the green. And the pent-up feelings of the audience broke out in cheers which echoed back again. Speeches followed speeches, interspersed with solos, duets, choruses and recitations. Mr. Jan. Hyllton took as the subject of his address, "The Worth of a Thing In Its Intrinsic Value." He spoke with deliberation, kept his audience interested throughout, and with emphasis showed how the charter was no more scrap of paper. Mr. Silney Wilson said he was not going to preach a sermon, yet he liked to center his discourse around the text, Gen. 45:31: "We are true men." He appealed to his hearers to be true to themselves, to their fatherland, and to their God. Mr. John Jardine's topic was "Have Faith in the U. N. I. A." In well-chosen words he clearly outlined the movement as built on solid basis—one God, one aim, one deity—and concluded with a glowing tribute of praise to its founder, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Mr. R. M. Wallace, vice-president of the Banes Branch, in a masterly manner dwelt on the maxim, "What Man Has Done, Man Can do." He took his hearers to the distant past, showed the achievements of every age and carried them back to the present, throws his searchlight on the future big with the Negro's successes. His address was instructive, intensely interesting and inspiring. He sat down amidst thunderous shouts of applause. This report would be incomplete were no reference made to the work of the Decoration Committee. Mr. Abram Sewart, enthusiastic and energetic, mobilized his army of helpers and with bantings, evergreens and flowers made an Eden of our hall, Messrs. Chas. Gregory, Hylton, Barclay gave their able support, and a debt of gratitude is due Mrs. Caroline Stewart and Mrs. Dora Hylton for making the flags. The choir excelled itself in every rendition as result of Mr. Rattray's labors. Miss Burrell's musical voice was at its best in the resituation, "Rise and Stand, Ye Negroes Bold," which was sitting followed by the quartet, "The Future Lies Before Us," sung by Mrs Levoh, Mrs. Jamison, Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Leach. Hearts and voices made the air sound the national anthem, "Ethiopa Thon Land of Our Fathers," and the congregation dispersed awaiting eager San Geronimo's next big day—the coming of the chaplain general.

IN BANES, CUBA, FORGING AHEAD Editor of the Negro World: Dear Sirt--Permit me space in your WARNING TO THE NEGRO PUBLIC OF AMERICA A man claiming to be PRINCE MADARIKAN DENIYI, alleged to be a native prince of Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, is travelling through the United States lecturing to colored people and asking for financial help. This man appeared in Liberty Hall, New York, some months ago and received a public collection from the Negroes of this city, stating that he was a native prince of Africa and that he was about to return to Africa to work in the cause of his people. Information to hand proves that this man is not a prince from Africa, he is an imposter. It is now alleged that he is a propagandist receiving money to preach disunity among American and West Indian Negroes so that the educated Negroes of this Western Hemisphere may not concentrate upon the redemption of Africa, but allow the White Nations of Europe to control and exploit the continent. All Negro organizations and churches are asked to look out for this man.

He, with his strong will, has been doing well for our division, during the absence of the president. He has given his able ability, stimulated us to more active service, by enlarging our Liberty Hall from a seating capacity or about 500 to 500. Officers and members did their very best, but his was the brain that conceived the plan of enlarging our Liberty Hall.

HORACE GREELEY SAID COL- ORED PEOPLE HAD GREATER RESPECT FOR, AND CONFIDENCE IN; THEMSELVES. What the Colored people need is not so much power as self-elevation, not so much better manner and greater consideration from the whites, as greater respect for confidence in themselves; based on substantial grounds. So long as they remain pretty generally boot-blackers, tavern waiters, clothes cleaners, etc., securing the right to vote will be of precious little account to them. But let them as a class step aside from those who insult and degrade them, like a small band of them in Ohio, buy a tract of land which shall be all their own, and go to work upon it, clear it, put up buildings, farming, manufacturing, etc. They will no longer care much that those who are of baser spirits but of whiter skins, refuse to consider them as men and admit them to common privileges of manhood. We see no plan of levating them half so certain or so feasible as this."—Hormone Greeley. [Editor's Note.—Horace Greeley was a pioneer Negro journalist and was the founder of the New York Tribune.] The literary meeting of Buffalo Division No. 79 of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. convoked at 3 p. m., with the singing of the odt. "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," and prayers. Our president being absent on business of the organization, Brother Taylor presided. After lengthy exhortation concerning our rally the meeting was turned over to the ladies' branch of the division, which rendered an excellent program under the distinguished leadership of Sister Campbell as mistress of ceremonies. The program was opened with the reading of a very healthy paper by the vice-president of the ladies' branch. Mrs. Montgomery. The subject, "Why every Negro should join the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L." after which the following members were called upon to deliver three-minute comments on the subject. Mrs. Brice, who was very lustful in support of the same, closed with a request that every woman become a member of the Black Cross Nurses, under whose supervision and instruction they would be, through the Right Hon. High Commissioner General, which was received with enthusiasm and applause. We then listened to a solo by the secretary of the ladies' branch, "Just for Today," which was so well rendered that she was encored amid thunderous applause. Messrs. Thomas and Thomas, father and son, again delivered two rousing speeches. Sister Simons was the next THE NEGRO PUBLIC AMERICA PRINCE MADARIKAN DENIYI, of Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, United States lecturing to colored help. This man appeared in the months ago and received a groves of this city, stating that Africa and that he was about to the cause of his people. Is that this man is not a prince? It is now alleged that he is key to preach disunity among Negroes so that the educated misphere may not concentrate, but allow the White Nationsoit the continent.

Admission at popular East Africana Who Appeal to Official Refuse to Leave and Are Arrested. Magistrate Paul Johannsen yesterday afternoon in the Central Police Court took exception to the action of the local British vice-consul, James Guthrie, 11 East Fayette street, in ordering the arrest of 11 British subjects who hail from Somalia, British East Africa, following their appeal to the consul for aid. The men are alleged by Mr. Guthrie to have refused to leave his office after he had told them he was unable to give them assistance in obtaining employment on atamasha bound from this port. "I told them," said Mr. Guthrie, "I could not help them, and they declared they would spend the rest of their lives in my office. I called Patrolman Neslein and ordered their arrest for disorderly conduct." "What am I to do with these prisoners?" inquired the magistrate of the consul. "Here are 11 men, penitless and hungry who are British subjects, yet you refuse to give them assistance. The alleged disorderly conduct was committed in the British consulate, and that is British property. I do not see by what right I have to pass on the case. The charge against them is dismissed." "Suppose they come back to my office and cause trouble again," said the consul, "what am I to do?" "I have nothing more to say in the matter," said Magistrate Johannsen. "I'm through with the case." According to Mahamet Ahmed, who acted as interpreter and spokesman for his countrymen, they were employed as firemen on steamships that came to this port. Several weeks ago, he said, the ships were placed out of commission, and they were given money due them and placed ashore. The plight of the man aroused the sympathy of Magistrate Johannsen and Attorney Harry B. Wolf, who AST STOCK Will Only Be Sold in Blocks of 100.00 RT & EXPORT CORP. SEET, NEW YORK CITY & Ross Mfg.
