LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunda Night, March 13, 1921.—The addresses made tonight at Liberty Hall were a little different from those heard on other Sunday nights, in that there was considerable variety of light and expression, and much said to turn the people's minds in a somewhat different direction in viewing the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Though no new movement was made of any important aspect to be present, there was a general tenor, the open, seemingly feeling confident that they can always depend upon hearing a good program and interesting speaking whenever they come to the mammoth hall. And in this they are right, for never yet have there been a single dull meeting held in Liberty Hall, as far back as the memory of the writer extents. Mr. Wifred H. Smith referred to the enemies of the U. N. J. A., saying that only those who are uninformed are opposed to it; that as soon as our people thoroughly and correctly understand what the association stands for and is driving to do, they will cause their opposition and co-operate in the work and help us in the undertaking. We are in large, large, large that also cost him the millions, yet that the family extravagantly and coolly wasted by our people here in N. North afire for banquets and parties and he would be sufficient to end to the Black Star Lane to buy the land with it. He urged his hearts to use their money by investing it in this great cause, with a view of securing for themselves and their children homes and factories and schoochs and stores and institutions of their own in their own home land. Many, be it white men or black men, white men will give our people all that they expect they will be able to get in Africa; an idea that is merely a deduction, as the white man does not intend helping us along commercial or industrial lines, as he is out for himself. He related an anecdote told him, amounting to 100,000 Virginia with eighty illustrated this, which to be appreciated, should be read in full. It will be found in the subsequent part of this report. Among the speakers of the evening were the High Chancellor, Dr. G. E. Stowart, who presided; Mr. Wilford H. Smith, counselor general; Prof. Wm H. Ferris, editor of the Negro World; Rev. Jas. H. Wilson, of Kentucky, and Mr. J. Samuel, president of the No. 1 Chapel, New York Division, located on the corner of 10th and short, crisp, and though devoid of any attempt at eloquence, they were forceful, enlightening, and encouraging. Dr. Stewart, before introducing the other speakers, told of his visit to Boston last week, and said that the division there of the U. N. I. A, showed that they are wide awake and up and doing. They even gave him a surprise that caused him almost to faint, the nurses of the division got together and employed a trained nurse of five years' experience in a public hospital, from whom they received instruction in rendering first aid and were given a first year's study in nursing work. They went to one of the great physicians there, a Dr. Hall, and each Black nurse of the division qualified, and, passing the examination successfully, was given a certificate in testimony of her efficiency. The Boston Black Cross nurses believe that such they should know something of the profession of nursing, so that they can be of practical benefit and aid to the association. He hoped that the New York Division of Black Nursing would be able to meet their Boston sisters, as he desired to see the New York Division, in point of their qualifications and fitness as trained nurses, to lead all other divisions; and he believed they would be able to so ultimately, Boston has Rev. Dr. Ferris delivered one of his customary delightful and instructive addresses. He had been to Philadelphia recently, he said, and, instead of finding the division of the U. N. L. A. there dropping, as had been rumored, it was in a most thriving condition. This association, he declared, has in it a garm of vitality which other movements among our people have lacked. Not since the days of Frederick Douglass, we have constructed leadership, not outstanding all that Booker T. Washington, Wm. Monroe Trotter and Professor Dubois had done, each of these men having fallen far short in that respect. The Hon. Marquis Carvay, however, he said, had riveted the attention of the world by his new and progressive ideas, the founding of the U. N. I. A. under oppression and criticism in no other organization has done in the history of the race. He has awakened race consciousness among the people and shows the Negro that he has a destiny which he himself must work out. The U. N. I. A. has passed the experimental stage, and is no longer a laughing stock, but is a mortal power. (Continued on Page 3.) UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT LOAN TO THE LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT It is sometimes had policy and diplomacy to make public retorts in reference to even misstatements that are made concerning governments or highly placed representative men in public life. It is sometimes equally as had diplacy and policy to refrain from correcting erroneous statements about governments and the representatives of governments when such statements are calculated to destroy confidence and create suspicion. William Randolph Hearst, the notorious American agitator and publicist, recently launched a propaganda against legitimate loans to many of the great European nations and some of the smaller governments of Europe. Followup up his onslaught, Mr. Hearst more recently in the New York American a couple of weeks ago or flashed a characterization sketch of several governments, including the Black Republic of Liberia. The sketches were seriatum. We are dealing here only with his remarks about Liberia. Mr. Hearst represented that country to be primarily a settlement of mulatto, a nondescript government with a lot of aboriginal population of a warlike disposition that cannot be brought under the control of what he considers a "warlike government" and that will never be able to meet the obligations. We could dispose easily of the vituperation of this man whose good sense we often admire in some respects, by saying that his statements, with reference to Liberia, are based upon ignorance and prejudice. We would fair do him justice and yet we do not see how we can harmonize any mental equipment with his tirade on the Liberian situation but ignorance and prejudice. If, as Mr. Hearst says, it is a mulatto settlement, and that is not the case, and that settlement was organized by American philanthropists and backed up materially by the United States Government, then it would follow that apart from the affinity or consanguinity existing between those mulattoes and their white parents, in America there would be another claim, a peculiar one—the claim upon, the one that gave birth to the other—the mother country, American money, American brains, American hope for a season were all liberally given for the development of a colony in far off Africa. The relationship between Liberia and the United States is vastly of a different nature to that which may exist between America and Czechoslovakia, Poland, Russia, Belgium and other places mentioned by Mr. Hearst. The Liberians have always been able, to our knowledge, to pay their way, often at a tremendous cost to European graffers. When we consider the economic odds that Liberia was constantly up against, it is a marvel to our way of thinking that she has been able to maintain her autonomy and integrity for fifty years as an independent State and international unit. The United States Government has had before now to interfere through silver moral obligation when two of the Big Fowers now engaged upon the perfecting of a "world league" were combining to annex Liberia and were responsible for staging disturbances among the warlike tribes of Liberia. Only Liberian statesmen and some other critical observers knew of the far-reaching influence of the United States Commission to Liberia that went out there in the naval ships *Birmingham* and *Chester* about eleven years ago during the Taft Administration. Dr. Ernest Lyman was U.S. Consul general then in Monroe and Mr. Ernest J. Scott, who was Tuskegee, was a member of that Commission. For the protection of Liberia a certain policy had to be maintained as regards the granting of concessions to European nations indiscriminately and allowing them to have freehold property in the country. The Germans used to be the biggest traders in the country, but they are flow out of it, and are endeavoring to make arrangements for re-establishing commercial relations with the black republic which was for them a lucrative field. "Made in Germany" was stamped upon nearly every commodity in the Liberian world of trade. The Liberians are not anxious to have the country again overrun by German truders and the majority of the people will welcome trade relations with merchants from the United States of America. THE LOAN AND THE LIBERIAN DELEGATION. The trouble about Liberia is that she owes the smallest national debt and her demands for loans has been few and modest, as it was in the case of the much talked of international loan, which was less than two million dollars. The interest has been regularly paid. And what is that amount for a government to owe? The prospective loan has been under process of negotiation for nearly two years, we understand, by the terms attached to its settlement are such that no State can readily subscribe to it without impairing considerably its autonomy. A progressive element is now in power in Liberia, ripe with diplomatic experience as practiced statesmen. They are anxious for the establishment in the republic of improved methods on all lines that would accelerate transit and create avenues for trade and for settlements. In short, there are plans for other such measures as would solidify and make practicable a better system of economics, but the people, and we speak for the people generally, are not willing to waive their sovereignty even although they are anxious to remove stagnation from their midst. We have it from a reliable source through our Monrovia correspondent that the American Government has been in reasonable correspondence with Liberian authorities. The letters have been cordial in tone, and that is what a large number of Negro citizens here would like to hear, who believe in the wisdom and fairness of their government. THE PERSONNEL OF THE DELEGATION. The Liberian Senate could not have made any wider selection in the choice of men to represent the government here at this time. The personnel is thus made up: The Hon. Charles Dumbar B: King, the head of the delegation, is also the President of Liberia at a recent election. Mr. King has seen much active service at home and abroad. First counselor-at-law in Monrovia; next district attorney, Attorney General and afterwards Secretary, of State. He was the delegate at the Peace Conference at Versailles. It was Mr. King's adroit action that saved Monrovia during the crisis with the Germans, when the Kaiser's gumbot was ready to demolish the Negro capital. Mr. King was born in Monrovia and in versed also, in the affairs of Sierra Leone, as his early education was secured there in the grammar school, where they had while English, professors. Mr. King subsequently studied law at Liberia College, where afterward he was a law teacher. Mr. F. E. R. Johnson is Associate Justice in the Supreme Court of Liberia. Mr. Johnson, the Mr. King, has seen much service. Once Attorney Geijer, then Secretary of State, now Associates Justice and frequently on Liberian commissions to European governments. Mr. Johnson is widely read and maintains the largest private library in Liberia. His father, Hilarg Johnson, was the second President of Liberia and his grandfather, a Massachusetts man, Elljah Johnson, was one of the men who went over on the first ship and acted as Governor in the colonial days, when Ayres, the white agent, was discouraged and desired to abandon the project. Mr. John Lewis Morris was first a professor in Liberal College, for which work he was prepared, but the "dry bones" of pedagogy could not retain him. He entered politics in the Barclay administration and was Postmaster General; then in the Howard administration he became the Secretary of the Treasury, which position he filled with dignity and satisfaction. Mr. Morris also was once editor of the Liberman Register. His father is one of the successful painters and business men of Liberia and is varid in native affairs. Mr. Morris was a brilliant student during the close of his college course and was also traveled extensively and is an economist. These are the men who are serving the people of Liberia, and we hope that with jodias actions and subsequently, with proper arrangements for immigration the republic, in which many millions flee and slawhere are interested, will float on the floodsides of prosperity. B, W, R. Capt. Oyster, Bryce's Friend, Appointed as Commissioner District of Columbia — United in Howard University. WASHINGTON, March 11 — Lieut. retiring Fall at 4696 permanent age. Lieut. Henry O. Flipper, who graduated from student Flipper as an expert Spadgett, West Point point, thirty and forty years ago and served in the United States Army. Beecher Fall is the first Spadgett to receive the Flipper service without receiving a fall peroxide, has tried to get it hastened and has deal, has just been appointed to a Quintessential position in the Interior De- partment (Third Assistant) under War Oyster's Nervous? There is no Dr. George Trumbull Ladd of Yale truly said, the finest philosophical faculty in the world. Six years ago, Locke, the winner of the Rhodes scholarship, found it somewhat difficult to properly function at Howard. On account of the repressive hand of one of his superiors he did not find Howard a fostering incubator and a fertile indivus for his Harvard and Oxford ideas. And while their friends felt sorry for the deans who had helped (cus of whom, Prof. Kelly Miller, was a man of national fame), to make Howard what she was, they thought that possibly the dissolving of the ring and close corporation which had run Howard for the past quarter of a century might issue in a larger and greater Howard. But then came the rumors that the president had not only read the riot act to a prominent dean, but had read a curtain lecture to a Harvard Phd., to a winner of the Rhodes scholarship and a winner of the Spingarn medal, who were advanced scholars and thinkers. Then Dame Rumor said that in the readjustment and new alignment by which two deans and the secretary of the Medical School were demoted, two deans and one professor resigned and two other bright and shining lights were made to know their place, that the progressive teachers were curbed as well as those who circled in eddies. The ability, courage, sincerity and good intentions of the president were not questioned, but it was thought that he might have been more or less influenced by the Bourbon sentiment of the National Capitol, which had certain notions about the Negro's place. It was believed that an able and good man had possibly been ill advised. The preceding was mesely gossip and sub rosa talk which we heard as we made flying trips to the National Capitol. But there was no general alarm until the reorganization of the law school was proposed. That is to say, no one came into our office to discuss the affairs of Howard University until the reorganization of the law school was proposed. So many noted men of color graduated from the Howard University Law School, and until recently so many fine, manly fellows graduated that it was believed that it was a powerful asset in the development of the Negro race. Then again the services of Prof. Wm. H. H. Hart in raising funds to erect the building, in securing the appropriations for salaries, as instructor and as a successful challenger of the Maryland Jim Crow Law for Interstate Passengers, and the services of Prof. Wm. H. Richards as instructor, librarian, promotor of Bethel Literary for thirty years were believed to be of great value. And while the services of Judge Robert H. Terrell and Ex-Ass't. District Attorney Cobb were appreciated, it was believed that the brilliant work which Prof. Hart and Prof. Richards, did extending over a period of thirty years, and their manly ideals, entitled them to special consideration. The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are constantly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. NEXT to the bread problem, the problem of education is the fundamental problem of life. The bread problem concerns the present generation, the problem of education the next generation. As we study the educational systems of China, Peru, Europe, Babylon, Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages and modern times we will find that they endeavored to mold the youth after certain parents. The ideal of life which is vignant in an age or nation dominates the educational ideal. Friends of the president claim that eleven Howard men failed before the Bar examiners in Washington last December and for that reason he has been compelled to re-organize the law department. But some of the alumni and friends of the school claim that in recent years the standard for admission to the school has been lowered and that graduates of industrial schools, who have not even a high school education, are admitted to the school. If that be the case, the remedy is not to reorganize the law school, but to raise the standard of admission to the point where it was when the law school turned out so many brilliant men. Any school, no matter how capable and efficient, the teachers labors under a disadvantage when students come to it whose previous preparation and training have been inadequate. Howard University, located at the national capital, and supported by Congress, in the most advanced of the Negro colleges and universities, has had and is destined to have a profound influence upon the cultural life of the colored youth. All of the Canadian presidents of Howard University have experienced snow or less difficulty during the past twenty years, one of its most considerable difficulty. But we must remember that a new president of Howard has more confining problems to face than a new president of Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia and Chicago University faces. When ex-President Charles W. Elliot of Howard unforedied his innovations by the elective system, by broadening the philosophical tenor, by introducing the case study of the Christian school and teaching the Dynasty School an undiscriminational school of religion all that was not a perplexed one. He had to blind conservatism with radicalism, to conserve the human and traditions, the tone and atmosphere which made Harvard great in the past and at the same time bring Harvard in touch with modern civilization, with new ideas in science, sociology, philosophy, psychology, education and theology. Our mission as a writer of editorials is not to prescribe remedies for any of the ills of modern society. We only diagnose the case for the reader. We do not tell a man to set sail or stay in port; we only tell whether the sky is clear or whether a cloud is looming up. We do not dictate actions. We only interpret tendencies. We only state the case and permit the jury, the reading public, to render its verdict. We have been asked what we think of the idea of a colored man at the head of Howard University and what we think of the present unrest in the university. We have no prejudice against any man per se because he is white, and we hold no brief for a man simply because he is black. With us it is not the question of the color of a man but the soul of a man. If a colored man could be found who is as broad, as liberal, as courageous as was the late Wm. James of Harvard University, it would be a source of inspiration to the Negro race and would increase the prestige and standing of the race to see him at the head of Howard University. But merely shifting from a Caucasian to a Negro president would not wisely solve Howard University's problems as the Department of the Interior and Congress has some say as well as the president and board of trustees. Henry's new president of Howard has likewise the task of conserving moral and religious values, of preserving the ideals, tradition, atmosphere and atmosphere, which made Howard great in the past, and of introducing the pragmatism of James and Bergeson, the relativity of Ehmitz, the electron theory of matter, the ethnological basis of Sargi, Hagley and Boak and modern political, economic and sociological. But in addition a president of Howard has to adjust himself to new conflicting ideas. On the one hand there is a powerful Bourbon sentiment of Washington, which regards the Negro as a little lower than the scale of creation than the Caucasian and somewhat higher than the apes and monkeys. Consequently these citizens believe that the Negro ought to have a lower kind of education than white men and a higher kind of training than is given to apes and monkeys. On the other hand there is the surging might of the new Negro moving to the full development of his potentialities and the free unimpairedness of prospects and possibilities. And to prevent himself colliding with service conflicting ideas, a president of Howard must be something of a diplomat and a cautious pilot. Dr. Booker T. Washington introduced some valuable industrial and economic ideas in modern civilization, but he was so limited in his education and knew so little of the cultural history of his own race that he did not properly appraise educated Negroes. And the Caucasians who took the cue from him, and most of them did, have a false perspective of the cultural possibilities of the Negroes and are afflicted with stigmatism regarding the capabilities and manhood of educated Negroes. Our task is to correct this stigmatism. If this stigmatism is corrected, Howard University can realize its destiny under the present Caucasian president. If it is not corrected, she will not come to her own until the right kind of Negro, a broad-guessed man like A. H. Grimke of the older leaders and Robert T. Browne of the younger leaders, sits at the helm. W. H. F. In the past, many of them are real Negro elites and factions. In the recent past, some of them led by wealthy and intelligent men are the powerful in character and potent in influence. And a new collection of Howard's work of emperor or king set down amongst the most influential and famous. Howard gave the family a memorial that Howard University should be the institution of the Secretary of the Interior and that the institution should maintain its status by Congress. Hence it con- tinently makes it the principal with the administration and with Congress, and changes its name each year. Hence it must readily be seen that a revolution of Howard University whether black or white, has a big FLEECING NEGROES DAY was Palm Sunday in New York, shining.

So let us rejoice at Ex YESTERDAY was Palm Sunday in New York. The sun was brightly shining. The weather was mild and balmy with just enough breeze in the air to brace one's spirits. Lenox avenue and Seventh avenue were crowded with smartly dressed lads and ladies, maids and maldens coming from churches, bearing palm leaves. Next Sunday will be Easter Sunday, to commemorate the resurrection of Christ from the dead. Nature wakes from the sleep of winter, in spring and begins to unfold in leaf and bud and foliage and flower, putting on that robe of beauty which has ever delighted the eye of man. In harmony with the Easter thought of the renewal of life and the bursting forth of nature in spring, men and women discard their old clothes and clad themselves in new raiment. Two years ago we rode from the Bereau Manuel Training School of Philadelphia to the First African Baptist Church to preach the Easter sermon. During that three-mile trolley ride we saw an endless procession of persons wending their way to various churches. When we reached the square on which the Catholic Cathedral is located, we saw a line of people waiting to enter the Cathedral which extended over a block. When we reached the First African Baptist Church we saw that the folding doors had been pulled back to utilize the Sunday School room. And still the crowds could not be accommodated. And then we reflected that the same sight was seen in different parts of the City of Brotherly Love—in practically every city of the civilized world. And then we reflected that for centuries on Easter Sundays men and women have wended their way to churches to hear sermons and to listen to gowned choirs. In many a church next Sunday Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus will lift the thought of men heavenward. What is the reason? One morning in Palestine nearly nineteen hundred years ago, something psychical and something physical took place which lodged the thought of immortality in the human mind and introduced an idea which transformed human history and transfigured human life. Hope springs eternal in the human heart. The Egyptians, the Greeks and the Indians believe that there is something divine in man that survives the dissolution of the body. It is this instinctive faith which caused the ancient world to believe the resurrection story of Mary Magdalene and which caused the modern world to believe that the Creator created man for some purpose and would not bring him into being only to destroy him as he was beginning to evolve as a spiritual being. So let us rejoice at Easter time. THE GARVEY MOVEMENT. THE saying is that it never went to press our attention in March issue of the Current on Marcus Garvey and his work, also publishes an article.

CORRESPONDENCE CORRESPONDENCE Dear Mr. Ferris—Have you seen Charles Glipin in Emperor Jones" the play of which the entire white press has spoken in perfectly happy terms? No? Then see it, and you will understand immediately just why the big dallies of New York see in it the imitable genius of its author, Eugene O'Neill. You will discover in the unwinding of its plot the most subite propaganda ever devised by white people to forever discredit the intellectual capacities of Negroes for self-government. Dr. Lothrop Stoddard, in his scholarly history of the French Revolution in Santo Domingo, carefully, astutely building up a case against Toussaint L'Overture and the Haitians who followed him in the government of the island, to show how positively absurd it is for Negroes to even contemplate the administration of large public institutions should have first consulted the writer of "Emperor Jones," for while he held up slaves in high places to ridicule he does not do it nearly as successfully as does Mr. O'Neill in holding up a railroad porter as emperor of a vast African domain to the pleasure of large New York audiences. Professor Stoddard, perhaps, achieved what he desired. He damned L'Overture and all of his gang as a bunch of roving brigands, unit to govern, unit to live. Mr. O'Neill, in a coarser unit, not being as gifted in literary qualities as Mr. Stoddard, does at least credit Emperor Jones with some power, if only with that of a medicine man, but what he hopes for and gets in the way of psychological effects on his white audiences come in the end when the emperor, stripped his money and power, through his inability to pay for his occult influences flees through the woods leaving his empire to the mob. "Nigger," he says, "yo who is failed low." There you have one of the reasons why the press loves "Emperor Jones." It's a suspicious travesty on the Negro race. It places a Negro railroad p'er on an African throne and makes these over, over, his r'er. Joe's white common cattle. It is, in a word, the sort of play that white men and women will travel all night to see. It reminds them that courage and undying claims to superiority. It gives their grande faith in their colossal religion, that they are the eternal queen of the Near. It summons the desperation, that it gets people in their old ways grim and痛苦 with their hard lives. It summons the might of humanity. It summons the affection of others in both the affection will and the devotion. It summons the joy that God made them. trains but it pours.

ONDENCE Jones" is on Nagroem and it will remain no longer than did "A Play Box of the Western World." The astonishing feature about it is, however, not that it is popular on Broadway, but that the Negro press has overlooked the play and its damaging effects to laud Charles Gilpin, the Negro star. Our papers seem to forr' that when any Negro is featured on Broadway it has to be in something that white people will like, and the only plays they like is which Negroes are the stars are those that take away from our race every trait and virtue to which we are entitled by unrequited toll in a strange land. They would crowd to see you, me, Garvey or any Negro at all just as they are now crowding to see Gilpin, if either of us were playing the role of Emperor Jones. They did not like "Pride of Race." In that play a white girl becomes the mother of a Negro baby. They did not like the "Nigger," by Edgar Sheldon. A Negro is too passionate in his love-making to a white woman. They did not like "Granee Maumee," or "Simon the Cyrenian," by Ridgley Torrence. In both these the Negro is honorable. Grance Maumee speaks the broken dialect of her day, but she cursed all the white blood in her people's veins. White men lynched her Sam. If she had lived long enough she would have lynched a white man out of revenge. Simon the Cyrenian was a Negro. He took up the cross of Jesus and carried it to Golgotha. This was too great an honor for any Negro. None of these plays were popular on Broadway. "Emperor Jones" is. Why? If possible, please give this letter publicity in the columns of your great paper.

Brunswick, Ga. WILL WHITE, CUBANS SUPPORT THE NEGRO'S PROGRAM FOR A FREE AFRICA? To the Editor of the Negro World: As a member of the New York Local Division of the U. N. L. A., I am answering the following question: Has the Negro any right to expect any moral or financial support from the Cubans in the program for a free and independent "Africa and Africans, at home, and abroad"? History sacrifices to the Negro me amo part of the sacrifice made for Cub. deliverance from Spanish tyranny. Both as a slave and a free man his sympathies were with the insurgents. Of the thirty thousand Cubans under arms, two-fifths were Negroes. Of all leaders produced by the Cuban war, the most impinging figure, the man the Spaniards most dreaded, was Antonio Maceo, a Negro. His fall by Spanish bullets was grated by the enemy with indiscribable joy, while men throughout the civilized world felt instructively that the Cuban cause had lost its mightiest cheftains and the loftiest source of its inspiration. In the war for Cuba, the American Negro impressed civilization with both his ability as a soldier and his worth as a man. The Eighth Illinois Infantry had only Negro officers from the colonial down. Every Negro soldier, no matter what rank, honored himself and America on Cuban soil. If it had not been for Negro troops the Rough Riders would have been terminated. The former, fighting/desperately without their officers, most of whom had been killed or wounded in the early part of the engagement, saved the battle and won the day. The Twenty-fourth Infantry lost every one of its officers before the conflict was over, four regimental captains being knocked out in a minute and a lieutenant-colonel severely wounded. The Twenty-fourth bore the brunt of the battle around Santiago, the Spanish directing their main attacks upon them, on the theory that the Negroes would not or could not stand the punishment. The Twenty-fifth Infantry shared with the white men the honor and losses incident to capturing the old stone fort at El Caney and in the charge up San Juan Hill the black troops fought their way into the hearts of the civilized world. It is for us to remember and bless forever! We are entitled to the Cubans' moral and financial support. Youre faithfully. PERCY BRYAN. 290 W. 137th SL, N. Y. C. HAYTI AND SANTO DOMINGO. Fob. 16, 1921. Literary Edition, Negro World. New York City, N. Y. Dear sir-- I have on several occasions read articles in the Negro World on the base treatment of the U. H. Marines, in Hayli and Santo Domingo, of the natives of these republics. I also have read of the behavior of said corps in the Virgin Islands, and it seems in one case that you have brought to light they are trying to vindicate themselves. You may not have heard of the excuse which they would give for their inhumane treatment of the patients of Santo Domingo; so, as I got this in one of the local papers of this city, I thought I would send it to you to make use of my means best to you. I thank you for your attention and beg to remain, dear sir. Your fraternally, J. W. FRANCIS. 125 Marals St. New Orleans, La.

His Excellency Rev. Tobitl Vote of thanks Mr. E. Vaughan Nero National Audition The Audience Negro National Anthem. The Audience Introduced by the chairman of the club, the distinguished guest expressed deep pleasure in being invited to address such a cultured and intelligent audience, and paid a glowing tribute to the artists whose contributions he pronounced excellent in quality. "If the literary club were the only success achieved by the U. N. A. L. A., it would with pride tithe the association has performed a wonderful work." His Excellency was pleased to know that the activities of the club had favorably impressed the community at large, and that amid diabolical forces and multifarious difficulties the members were able to look with renewed hope and insatiate aspiration to a brighter and better day. Converging the greetings of the parent body, Brooklyn and other prominent branches, he acclaimed the U. N. L. A. the greatest effective force—the most practical and practicable solution adaptable to all Negro problems the wide world over. A native of Antigua, His Excellency, during his boyhood days stepped himself deeply into the study of Africa. This study was so exhaustive in detail, and so winning in its appeal that he considered it the best remedy for the development of racial consciousness, and as a result instilled its fundamental truths into the minds of his pupils. Dissatisfied with unfavorable conditions that prevailed in his native land, Mr. Tobit asked for the Bermudas—the most beautiful of all islands, and the most charming spot of all the earth. There he developed an efficient system of education. Prior to his arrival the school teachers were not paid a living wage. He interviewed the Governor frequently, and eventually was able to receive a favorable consideration which revolutionized the entire training system, inspired recognition of the teachers' services, and the granting of a pension after ten years of faithful service. The Bermudians are hospitable, cultured, and intelligent. They are conservative and do not rush hastily into conclusions, but weigh, consider, and examine in order to be impressed with the truth and also with what is right. It was the happiest vista of his life when he heard in Bermuda that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had appeared on the scene to advocate the rights of the Negro people. He was a difficult engineer by two Negroes in the "white man's type." His Excellency was able to establish a branch of the U. N. I. A. in Bermuda, and today all Bermuda is alive with the torch of Garverism. The Negro in History. Mr. Tohbit is conversant with the great Negro literary characters of antiquity, and delicately in a brilliant style on Africa's contribution to the world's intellectual and scientific progress, and to the civilization which the white man has "copied or stolen" from our ancestors. Continuing, the speaker gave vivid reminiscences of the Kuwi war, the native question at Cape Town, the injustice perpetrated on natives in the Transvaal, and the impetuous courage displayed by native soldiers in checking the mettle attacks of the enemy. Africans are sympathetic toward West India, and it was in anticipation of Marcos Garvey commissioned by God that they spared the lives of West Indian troops when they were dispatched to participate in the South African war. The African chief commanded that West India should be saved because Africans will need them to fight their own battle. spirit would perch not. The revived gentleman spoke with true admiration, and when he instituted his readiness to close, a short was echoed throughout the hall. "Speak on, speak on!" In his persecution he urged the members of the club to press on with the great assurance that the day is coming when Africa will be redeemed, and her son, now deprived and rejected, will bring joy to her heart and joy to heaven. Prolonged and thunderous were the cheers that greeted him. On March 7 the literary club held a social evening in honor of the distinguished guest. The program was interrupted with a series of box exhibitions. The entire function was a grand success. Rev. Tobitb delivered another inspiring address on "Africa," in which he outlined the projects of the U. N. L. A. Several names were added to the list of the local branch. Miss Annie Dadehle, literary secretary, presided, and a very enjoyable evening was spent. March 6 His Excellency delivered a magnificent address in the Union Congregational Church. His subject was: "To Education Necessary for the Negro." The evening was well spent. Mr. Chan, Exte presided. Mr. Gibson introduced the speaker and announced that Professor Fervis will visit Montreal as a guest of the literary club on April 2. Miss Black presided at the organ. The choir sang well. The meeting adjourned with the singing of our own national anthem. Montreal, Canada. C. H. ESTE. WORLD CONDITIONS TODAY AS THEY AFFECT VARIOUS RACES OF MANKIND WORLD CONDITIONS TODAY AS THEY AFFECT VARIOUS RACES OF MANKIND An Address Delivered in K. of P. Hall, Tacoma, Wash. January 30, 1921. An Address Delivered in R. K. P. Hail, Tacoma, Wash., January 30, 1921. Although "Every day," according to Carlyle, "is the confux of two starlitien," it is the convenient and commendable custom to make, the beginning of a new calendar year the occasion for a certain review of the past, stockinging of the present, and forecast of the future, all of which is profitable at this time, and is being widely practiced. In this country in a measure just now we are in the dumps, with business stagnation, increasing unemployment, and widespread uncertainty and discontent. For these conditions there are, however, no other than temporary and remediable causes, so that a spirit of invincible optimism may well be denoted for the thoughtful observer, to which the speedy coming of a new administrative area should powerfully contribute. Turning to the much more sorely stirken and depressed Negro condition of the world, we find that an old age is dying, and a new day is dawning for the peoples of the earth. What about the Negro? The only hope for the future in his horizons of the dark clouds is this one bright spot on the International Affairs League Association and Communities League of the World, with its uncompromising program of liberty, justice and democracy. Fraternally yours truly. JOS. R. AUSTIN, Organizer. While Men and Women Are Busy Trying to Help the Race, Kentucky Man Is Blind to Everything but a Job—His Appeal Falls on Deaf Ears. One of the interesting characters to be seen around the Capitol at Washington, is Phil H. Brown, aristwhile of Hopkinsonville, Ky., but not of Chicago. While everybody also seems to be busy, aiding the best they can in helping to put over a legislative program for the race, Phil Brown seems to be blind to everything but a job. "Col. Brown, as Phil is sometimes referred to went to the nation's capital confident of landing a job at once and was relying upon his "wits" for success; but his wits seem to fall him in his desperate efforts to land an easy berth. Even his smooth gait seemed to be a challenge as he amused to a him going around the Whitehall Hotel and other places showing a clipping from the Chicago Tribune that made he was a special writer for that paper. But upon examination it was found that the clipping was a part of statistics compiled by Mr. Arthur, secretary of the Wabash. Y. M. C. A. Chicago on the new employment among the colored people of the Windy City. The boys say it's "stolen thunder" Phil is using to hoodwink the public. Another thing notable was that Phil Brown is quite conspicuous by his absence around the Racial Legislative Riflet on Pennsylvania avenue. It is that Johnson and his followers were glad to diagnose with Phil's services because the latter "messed up" things at Chicago last fall when he had charge of theABILITY among Negroes for the National Negotiation Committee. It was learned that some of the newspaper men were strong in their objection to Phil having anything to do with any public movement for the race, that there is much suspicion that things were not handled properly in Police department. With satisfaction, Phil remanded to an investigation of the police station restricted to him by the National Commission. Phil is having a hard time trying to inquire into the Washington. His investigation is ongoing, but he had little to say by the time he was able to interview. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1921 LIBERTY HALL The musical program rendered Palm Sunday afternoon at Liberty Hall, under the awning of the North-Simmon Bureau, was not only one participated, by young men and women of the race, but also by women and men and have become proficient in their line of activity, as was evidenced by the large attendance and the numerous appliances and enobes after each number, but also it has opened up a new avenue of instruction at Liberty Hall of a high class for the improvement of the large membership. Black Cross Nurses (Continued from Page 1) in the race, and its direction every Negro should and can be proud that he is a Negro. Rev. James H. Wilson of Kentucky, who had paid a visit to Liberty Hall some months previous, spoke of the great need for money with which to buy ships to carry on the work of the Black Star Line, but advised the exercise of caution both as to what we paid and did, and not antagonize or alienate the experts in expect and must get assistance in this project. Mr. J. Samuels gave a résumé the work being done in the thirty-third street section, of which division he is president. He said there are number- less churches and missions in that district, all of which have opposed the U. N. L. A. yet, notwithstanding this opposition, his division has done and is continuing to do good work. The musical program of the evening, which preceded the speech-making was unusually fine. In particular was the selection "Rock of Ages," rendered by the Liberty Hall Mixed Quartet, very delightful, Madame Fraser-Robinson sang a song entitled, "Villanelle," and again proved her extraordinary qualities as a singer of the first water, Mr. Samuel sings a baritone song "For All Eternity." The Mixed Quartet also rendered a selection, "Awake," which was well received. The program was in two parts, the first part being as follows: (a) Processional, "O Africa, Awaken!" by the choir; (b) Military March (for the Legions and Black Cross Nurses), by the band; (c) Opening Oda, "From Greenland's Joy Mountaine," sung by the audience; (d) Opening prayer, "God of the Right," by the chairman and audience. Part II, in addition to numbers already mentioned, consisted of (a) Selection by the Blazer Star Lins Band; (b) Anthem, "Arise, Shma for Thy Light Is Come," by the Liberty Hall Choir; tenor solo by Mr. Spooner of the choir. Mr. Wilford H. Smith, Counsel General, spoke as follows: Honorable High, Chancellor, Officers and Members of the Local Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Ladies and Gentleman: We want money, and we are going to get the money. But we are not going to compromise to get it. The people who are our enemies are so because they are our enemies. I believe that the masses all as in the West Indies and in South America and in Central America, when they understand this proposition will be ready to sacrifice for it and to help it. (Applause.) Of course, we need ships; we must have ships, and in order to have ships we must have money. The money the people will give. The only trouble is that the people have not thoroughly understood the proposition. They don't know just how much money we need. They think it is just a clapping of hands and a little money. The gentleman was right when he told you it was in the five hundred millions of dollars before we are through. We don't need that much now. We have got to grow. We start in with one ship, and then we get two ships, then three ships, then four ships then five, and on. I Thompson first vice-president of the Black Star King the other day. We were amusing about some ships to ply the African trade, and I learped for the first time what ships costs. Ships cost in the millions. Now, the people have got the money, and they will give the money when they understand the proposition and its purpose, and it is our business to see that they understand it. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z. The money that we spend for banquets and balls in the great cities here in this country, in the North, will build those railroads and buy those ships that we need. (Cries of "Right you are!") Now, what shall we do? Are we going to sit down here and hold and bug this thing, thinking that there is some comfort in it, and let this project go and sit it here, expecting the white man to benefit us and to do things for us; or are we going to do things for ourselves? I am sure that when you understand it, you will find that there is nothing else to do but to go into your pockets and take your money and give it for the purpose of building institutions and ships and railroads and houses and schools and factories for yourselves. What good does your money do you here in this country, even if you have it? You can not go into the banks here and get your own money on loan on a bank that you never need. Nor are you here. In fact, if the bankers wanted to do it, they could pass a law so that you would have t give them sixty days or ninety days notice before you could withdraw your own money. You know they did that in war times. So that, after all, the thing that you have got, the money that you have in the banks, is not yours; it is really the white man's. You get it from him by working for him, and you no sooner get it, when you put it back into his hands through the banks. So, while you are enjoying your money, use it to build a home over yonder for yourselves and for your children. One more illustration, than I am through. A story is told of two Negro boys who stoped along a railroad, track and along came a long freight train. This train was loaded with all the things that go to make comfort and enjoyment for the people of the city, as coal and meat and fruit and other things that enter into the commercial life of the people. One engine was pulling and one was pushing the train, and as it passed these boys one said to the other: "Say, Johnnie, I wish I was white." The other queried: "What fer do you want to be white?" "So I can be an engineer to pull a train like that and carry commerce to the city." To this Johnnie replied: "Well, I don't want to be white. All I want is a chance, and I will pull a train as good as any white man." (Applause.) It is our bounded duty to give a chance to our boys, so that they can command ships upon the seas; so that they can build railroads in Africa, and do for that country what the white man has done for this country. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Prof. Wm. H. Ferris Speaks. Proz. William H. Ferris, literary editor of the Negro World, was the next speaker introduced, and spoke as follo- ward, and was interested in reading the papers last week. The press stated that the Negroes on the Gold Coast of Africa are now dancing the "shimmy" to American Many of our people, are satisfied. They imagine, that they, are going to get in this country all that we say they must get in Africa. They are hugging a hope that is groundless. The moment we can show them that their hope is groundless they will commence to think, as we think, that they have got to find a home somewhere. Now, no matter how you fix it, the white man has got you beat in a thousand ways in this country. And he does not intend to divide anything with you; he does not even intend to give you opportunities in commercial matters; you have got to find out for yourselves. He will teach you this, and he will teach you that; but when it comes to commercial matters, or teaching you how to run ships, or how to do business on the sea, he is not going to give you a chance at all. Now, what we need is to have you understand that the only way, the only hope you have got, is to get your ships and put them upon the sea, and then go into Africa gradually and build up that country. We have got to build railroads there. We have got to build railroad tanks. We have got to build schools to train the natives, and then work gradually on and on until we have built up that grand government that we must have for our protection. Microcomputer Maximisation is necessary in order to establish Micro-Organisation (Micro) photographs in homes, builds for Bedford style, and also playing golf and tennis, as it looks like the Gold Coast is something like a Paradise, and it mores is put in Liberia to appeal the magnificent interior and yet at these valuable forests, Liberia will duplicate and enamel the prosperity of Lagos. In another paper I read that Alfred Moore Barbadian, has invented a swimming machine which is destined to prevent people from growing when they happen to fall overboard, or when a boat sinks. You will see something about it in the Negro World. Last Sunday afternoon I had the honor to speak in the Dunbar Theatre for the Philadelphia Division. It was said that the Philadelphia Division was going down; but when I arrived on the scene I found hundreds of people leaving the theater the older men are lined with people, and it was nearly ten men, through before I could force my mind through the crowd on the floor floor up the stairs through the halls to the platform. And I noticed that E. C. Brown, who is regarded as the leading business man of our ranks—because he is the directing head of three banks and two theatres—was there. He said he did not much about the Universal Negro improvement Association, but he knew there was something to it, and people cried out from all over the hall, "Tee; there is something to it." Then I noticed on the platform Lawyer Dickerson and Mr. Grant Williams, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, and our good friend, Rev. Dr. Jordan, the Foreign Missionary Baptist Secretary, who sometimes knocks us, but always alarms around to see what we are doing. They realize that this organization has some germ of vitality which other movements have lacked. Since the death of Frederick Douglass there has been no real constructive leadership. Mr. Washington had a valuable industrial program, but he derailed the strivings of the Negro. William Monroe Trotter was a man of wonderful courage and earnestness, but he lacked a little diplomacy. Dr. Dubols tried to combine the diplomacy of Booker Washington with the marshood strivings of Trotter, but people ultimately found out he was interested more in Mr. Dubols than in the race. Preachers gave us moral ideas and concentrated our thoughts too much on Heaven. Politicians were looking out on to get their "mit" filled with money. The result was that the Negro race lacked the constructive leadership to put through a constructive program. Now Marcus Garvey had four big ideas which have riveted the attention of the world. One is the Negro Factories Corporation, another is the Black Star Line, another is the commercial development of Liberia and the other the colonization of Liberia. These ideas have back of them an economic program in the modern world.

Unlawful theft or nakedness has the general vitality within it is will go down in the struggle for existence. At one period I studied farming in the Hubei Island Agricultural College. They put three things in fertilizer for the soil. They put nitrogen, potassium and phosphoric acid. It is the nitrogen in the soil that makes the plants grow tall; it is the potassium that gives bulk to trees and gives color and flavor to fruit; but the phosphoric acid, that is the quality that gives the soil planted in the ground the growth, vitality and to make perfect. Well, what the Nargo needs is phosphoric acid in his competition. The U. M. I. A. has shows ability to stand under opposition and under assault and criticism ever has in the history of the world. It is that quality called stamina. But you know, if you heat stamina that quality that gives moisture. But you know, if you heat stamina that do not direct and compress it will make the soil more absorbent and that will increase in the empty air. It is only when that steam is confined in certain spaces and is directed towards a certain direction that it gives the power to whist the locomotive along. Now the U. M. I. A. is like steam. It has awakened and guided the race consciousness of the Nargo, as no other movement has, and Marcia Garvey has taught the Nargo. ae ‘ . pare cr re THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1925 basi! * Been ees a fmeor » (US CEUTH: : eee ae om eet te ae oe ees ol EGYPTIANS STONE, Sach Dement toew: (toe he pe rs i : i ‘hone 108 males up te ton, ‘The poo-| Every man is obtasted to Deltona) NATIVE POLICE WHO —_— ee eR ATION i AN: e : iain aes Oe, rae oH He [een ath tho eyecare, there A Word iy Bohalt ofa Mesre Aato = NY mS BONES TEES HC THE QEDUDHIE OE INCRE ccs ee] MILL THREE PERSONS] seo ter oes Dre, tones ee 2 Sa 2 OBS rate Aimee ican. ‘my W. x. cy, 2k Bn 8 woke Putte = Mane So, atl pas of Willem B. ie Sater. ot Arta a Ae Applian, hie fut tome. « toot to Gael Whead "The Africas Abroas.”| Sank fe_the werld-Airie effort vig at apoio tenemanee the o- joie inetery of Ue Atrcee.

Agente ‘Wanted’ Auick Balen, Big hteney February 22, 1922. A very enthusiastic meeting of Division No. 29. Winning, was held in Library Hall on Sunday, February 22, 1922. The meeting was opened by the shaking of "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." The meeting was presented over by our worthy president, Hes. J. T. Wright. In the absence of our worthy chaplain, Brother J. D. Madison, the opening prayer was read by our noble president. A telegram from the president-general, his Excellency the Hon. Marcel Gayet, was read to the members by our honorable president for the immediate stimulation of the Liberia Construction Loan. This topic was gone tide and thoroughly proppounded at some length by our honorable president. A section of The Negro World containing the message of the president-general, his Excellency the Hon. Marcel Gayet, was read to the members of the U.S. I. A., warning them of the preparation of the Canadian government's plans to habitat our motherland. Africa Our honorable president outlined the policy that must be pursued in order to maintain the honor and dignity of the U. N. I. A. of which Division No. 30 must forever be an active part and personnel, and Division No. 39 must not allow itself to retreil into lethargic inactivity by reason of selfish motives. He spoke very freely on the necessity of complying with the message of the president-general, appealing to the members of the U. N. I. A. of the ministers responded with a very liberal practical result of our honorable president's unilateral effort. The liberal spirit of the members is an honored token of the eastern ourly president. Hon. J. T. Wright, is held by them. Our worthy vice-president, A. L. Nelson Driver, spoke to the members on "The Benefit to Be Derived from Substantially Supporting the Liberia Construction Loan." He drew a very striking illustration of the relief that could be given through the medium of the Liberian Construction Loan. His address embraced a description of the apperence of our race in Africa and Britain, the country that is recognized by the world as a civilized people, but those people are allowed to be violated by a great invading party. In concluding he stated that at an honest endeavor and physical and financial energy on the part of all members of the U. N. L. A. towards the Liberia Construction Loan would remove this oppressive yoke. This address was highly appreciated and generously applauded by the members. Reporter Ransoma's Address. Our worthy president read the reporter's report of a meeting published in The Negro World, under date of February 19. He then called on our reporter Brother A. Ransom, to address the members. Amorable president, officers, members and friends of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. after hearing the remarks of our honorable president and worthy vice-president on the importance of putting forth all efforts towards the stimulation of the Liberian Construction Loan, it brings to my mind the following subject to speak to you on "Are you putting, forth your best effort towards the success of the movement?" preparing them to do so. So we go to the fourth period of life and we find that although life has the same teaching during the second and third, or instructions, and memorization, periods, entire life has not yet nature, prepared itself. So in the fourth period of life we find many unprepared to resist the grim master of life. But in life the unprepared have a chance to evade the desirability of their master. So if the master of life that is unprepared wants "a monster and do not land them the help-hands, then they are not putting forth their best effort towards the process of the movement." Coming back to the fourth period of nature, we find winter, like the river, must reach its height and recoil, as we find the snow gradually melting and the rivers ice breaking up, the trees and since more, animal life again moves about and suddenly nature bursts forth with the new and vigorous life of spring. This wondrous spring the Prophet Fall has been preparing nature to resist winter, in order that nature might enjoy this great reconstruction period. Like nature, life, too, has a great prophet in the form of the Great Johahah, in the form of the Great Prophet, in no need of the teaching of this great Prophet. For all life and life's "spring" is that wonderful "Motherland, Africa," and when the many Negroes scattered about the face of this great world believe as nature does in their great Prophet, then we, too, will have a wondrous spring. In closing I will cite you an example. I think, is appropriate to the subject. "Are you putting forth your best effort to achieve the success of the movement?" Other Speakers. Dr. Hubert Grenidge, chairman of the Social Welfare Committee, announced that this committee is doing very good work in arranging entertainments for the members each week. Our Honorable President of the Ladies' Division, Mrs. Eva Barbee, was the next speaker. She outlined the work that is planned for the Children's Division and great credit is due Mrs. Baghee for the earnest and storing endeavor she is making towards the successful management of the Children's Division. Mrs. Ella McCathey, who has charge of the Black Cress nurses, outlined for the benefit of the members the policy she is pursuing for this branch of the N. L. K. A. She, with her little hand of filigree, presented a very picturesque appearance with their spotless- white uniforms. Brother Napoleon Johnson, one of our leading members, offered a poem, "Bridget, the Virgin (born 457 A. O. died 818 A. D.) The poem was found in a very old Catholic Bible, and was greatly appreciated by the members. Brother Johnson's offerings are always well received by the members. The members of Division No. 39 to learn that Miss Edith H-skins, of the juvenile division, age 12, grade No. 8 William Whyte school, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Haskins, was a first-prize winner in a school competition for composition. The winning composition was entitled "Valentine Day," as follows: St. Valentine's Day was named in honor of Bishon Valentine, who died in the year 818 A. D., on the 14th day of February, day 14, of which he was a lower festival, following the ancient tradition that the birds began their mating on that particular day. The early Christian clergy wished to reform this pagan custom by replacing the girls' names with those of saints, but youthful sentiment was too strong, and St Valentine's Day still continued to be the festivals of lovers. In France during the age of chivalry it became the custom for the girls to draw from the Valentine box, choosing their cavaliers, and at this time the exhanging of postal sentiment first became popular. In England and Scotland during the seventh century the people included Valentine, Valentine's Valentine, and Valentine's Valentine. These early valentines were written on thick sheets of gilt-edged paper and decorated with glided cupids, but the unreliability of sending them by post prevented the spread of valentine sending until the nineteenth century. A feeble attempt was made in England to revive the sending of valentine gifts but this expensive practice left with little favor. The sending of cards, however, continued to increase. In 1892, for example, 3,846,000 valentines passed through the London postoffice alone. Today every post office in America appears to flood of extra mail was Valentine Day. The postmaster regarded as friendly tokens, that any one may send and that every one is happy to receive. In fast, this sentiment is so widely spread that in many sections of the country February 16 is known and celebrated as Friendship Day. Brother Riley Thompson rendered two vocal selections, playing his own accompaniment, which was enjoyed immensely by the members and highly appreciated, coming from this accomplishment. The members closed with the singing of "Ethiopia, the Land of Our Paths" and the reading of the closing ode by our worthy president, Hon. J. T. Wright. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1961 BRUCE GRITS COLUMN FIVE HUNDRED REWARD AND NO QUESTIONS ASKED BY BRUCE GRIT. "Loot—a gold hunting case watch, full jellied, on Friday night last, between the hours of 7.20 and 8., while in the neighborhood of the Trocadier Club. Whoever returns the said watch (valuable as an heirloom to the owner) will receive $500, and no questions will be asked. Apply to Alwin B. Loomax, Hotel Champlain, Suite 23, after 8 p.m." So read an advertisement in the Lost and Found column of The Daily Bulletin, which had probably been read by hundreds of people, and cast aside with the usual remarks of the doubting Thomasases: "He'll never see that watch again," or "Poor boob, why does he throw away good money after a lost gold watch, especially when it is full jewelled," or "I wonder if he thinks the finder is going to be fool enough to return it for $500. It must be worth more if he can afford to give that much for its return." Two days ahead before there was an answer to the advertisement. On the afternoon of the third day a well-dressed man appeared at the desk of the Hotel Champlain and asked to see Mr. Alwyn B. Loesser. The pompom hotel clark phoned to suite 23, to ascertain if Mr. Loesser was in. "Does he expect you-have you an appointment with him?" To both questions the stranger answered "No!" "I came here in answer to an advertisement in The Daily Bulletin," "Oh, I see." Then the hotel clark made known to Mr. Loesser that a man was calling to see him in answer to his advertisement. Immediately came back the answer: "Send the man right up!" The clerk detailed a bell boy to show the man to the Loesser suite on the second floor. Just as they reached it the door opened and Mr. Loesser stood facing them. "This is Mr. Loesser," said the bell boy to the man. "This man here wants to see you in answer to your advertisement, air," he said to Mr. Loesser. "Come in, said he to the man. The man showed some hesitation about entering "Oh, don't be watched, sir, in if you have the watch." The man entered the room and stood by a window. Theeward is here awaiting you. I have no questions to ask you, all I want is my watch." Turning to him, he asked: "Have you brought the watch with you, have a watch answering to describe of one you test, and producing gold of your kind?" He asked: "In this it?" Mr. Loesser took it, examined it carefully, and said: "Of course, this is my watch, and I am glad to have it back extracted." Pulling out his wallet he placed the watch in the stranger, then he placed the watch in a lower vest pocket, and the stranger started to go. "Did you ask you any embarrassing questions, but I am curious to learn how you came into possession of my watch?" They were now both standing near the door at this time, facing other. The stranger saluted. "That's easy to answer, sir. You were standing at the time you lost your watch at or near the entrance to the Trocadero, and you were buelly enganged reading a billboard, thur—" and he put Mr. Loescer in position, and told him to look up, which he did. "As I passed by I saw your watch bat, and defily relieved you of your watch and passed on." Mr. Loescer was astounded. Then the stranger bowed himself out of the apartment, followed to the door by Mr. Loescer, smiling his gratitude for the return of the family hotel, and for which he had just handed a stranger $00 good American dollars. He closed the door and went immediately to his wife's boudoir to break the good news to her. She happened to be in another room, and sent the maid to hunt for her. This time she minutes, so that the stranger caller had plenty of time to lose himself. Finally madness was found, and went at once to the library; where she found her husband and reading an afternoon book. As she entered the room he looked up and said, "Oh you are here, are you?" "Yes," she replied; "Marie said you wanted to see me and I came in a quickly to I could. I was in the room looking over some old garments of yours and mine, to send the war suffers in Europe. In there anything special?" Mr Loescer had his hands down on the smoking stand and arrows. "You remember, my dear, that I lost my watch a few days ago, and that I obtained a reward of $00 for the return." "Yes, well, and you've got it back my dear." "Yes, an honest man came here about three-quarters of an hour for the reward, gave me the watch, and I gave him $00, and here is the watch." Putting his hand in his vest pocket to get it, but it was not there. He fell in his coat pocket, and his vest pocket. Then; thinking he may have played it, in a drawer of his desk, he searched diligently there, but it could not be found. John M. Ladden, the chief quirke to the county, was called when his officer, at his own request, showed him how he had first gotten his wield, and requested the question to be asked up, while that question was given how to do it. That he should not, to Mr. Ladden, rather merely "the account has been made, his words again." "Wrestlers" have been chosen. "Farmer" does not have any meaning, and "merchant" does not have any meaning. Marous Garvay has made and is still making history for the Negro rage more rapidly than any Negro leader living or dead. He has concentrated the thought of the Negroes 'of the world, upon an idea that is gripping them as nothing has gripped humanity, since Jesus Christ, the lowly Nazarena, walked and talked with men and laid the foundation of the Christian religion, the principles of which are today known and accepted by millions on millions of mankind in every habitable quarter of the globe, who recognize and acclaim Him as the Truth, the Light of the world. This Jesus, according to Josephus and Titus, was denounced and condemned because He attacked the established order, and was called a "patient disturber," a fanatic who calls himself "Jesus, King of the Jews." The worldly men of His day were very well satisfied with themselves and with the prevailing social and economic conditions, just as our world wise men of the present day are, or seem to be satisfied with the conditions which now hodge the Negro about. Just as was the man possessed with devils whom this same Jesus cast out of him and who cried out, away, what have I to do with thee," when Jesus approached him and communicated the devils to depart from him. The Jews and the Romans in power in those days just as are their counterparts in these days, were well pleased with the conditions which then obtained, they had everything their own way, the government was in their hands, the people were under their authority and everything was going on smoothly until the arrival of this "patient fanatic and disturber," or the old order—this conspiracy who drove the grangling, greedy, awaful money changers out of the town, and denounced them as thieves. His unpunishment was at once established, and the conspiracy started against Him culminated in his arrest, conviction and crucifixion, the manner of sedition, a disturber of the peace, a "patient fellow" and the accessions (the Jews who were only accessories before the fact, not having the courage to kill Him themselves) crucified Him. He had come to认识 Him, and His own received him, but because He had not come in the pump and power and regal splendor of an earthly king, so they feasted at and made sport of Him, spat upon His head, and wrote under His crown of thorns, "Behold Him of the Jews" in this derision. Then after they had done their worst, they opened the awakening. They buried this "patient" this "putative King of the Jews" and thus they supposed made an end of the misunderstandings they believed Him to be. But he wouldn't stay buried. He arose in three days as He had promised them He would, despite the strong guard of Roman soldiers placed outside His tomb. He conquered death and hell and proved His kingship to the Jews and to the world of humanity. Herod, who unwillingly condemned Him to ignominious death and washed his hands—the Jews who flouted Him as a imposter, the Roman soldiers, who captured Him, the rabbi who split upon Him, the dead and forgotten. But Jesus lives in the hearts and the memories and lives of the hundreds of millions of human beings the wide world owen. So Marquis Carver will live in the ages to come, despite the opposition, the smear and jealous, and suspicions of the worldly wife of the race who have lost the vision, and are content with their present condition, because this new Apothecary to the blacks did not come with a taint of trumpet, nor out of their clubs.

I come to the proving of the sixth point—that Lincoln refused to pay Negro soldiers the same wages that he paid to white soldiers. For this, the citizens are not at hand. But I can refer to Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higgins's book—his ambiography—called "Parts of a Man's Life"—specially to the chapter entitled "Intensely Human." Colonel Higgins tells the story: "The Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth Massachusetts regiments of infirmity. They were free black men. These men took up guns to go out and save the Union. They did this in the hope that one of the consequences of the conflict, would be the emancipation of the slaves. When It... Davis and the men of the South saw that Negroes were fighting against them, they issued proclamation: 'me saying that it they captured any Negroes they would treat them, not as soldiers captured in war, but as "aggressors"; they would lash them; they would sell them further South into slavery to hose corn and tend cotton. Mr. Lincoln knew this. The proclamations were reproduced in the papers of the North. It was then clear that the black soldier in fighting, run a risk that the white soldier did not run. He practically fought with a halter around his neck. Yet in the face of this, Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Lincoln's government went back on their pledged word and offered to the Negro soldiers half the wage which they had promised in the proclamation. "I'd call soldiers into the Union ranks. They were good enough to stop bribery—they were men there—but when it came to the recompense they were only "bigger" in the opinion of Lincoln and his Republican government. When Frederick Douglass and the delegation of black men went to him to protest against this—and Frederick Douglass had a son in the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts — Mr. Lincoln said he "could not afford to antagonize the sentiment of the white people of the country" on a matter of simple justice—common honesty bona fides; keeping one's publicity pledged word. Mr. Lincoln could not afford to antagonize the popular sentiment of the white people of the country. So these men were to be given half pay. The Fifty-fourth and Fifty-ninth Massachusetts like the other-collared troops that came in afterwards were offered this half pay, but they were men enough to refuse it. For one year and a half they went on without drawing any pay. Colonel Higginson tells us that the men borrowed money from their offices during that year and a half. The men said: "We will not take the half pay; we will fight, and if need be die; but if we are offered half pay and we are only to get that, we will let it stand in history to the eternal disgrace of the nation that is using us as men and treating us as slaves." After a year and a half, representatives of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, by pounding and pounding in Congress, got the government to vote the Negroes the same pay as the other soldier, and the back was the same pay. Fourth and Fifth-pity Massachusetts regiments. As a slighton on this attitude of the government there is the story of Captain Callaux. Captain Calliasus was from Louisiana. Calliasus represented a type of mulatto produced in Louisiana that certainly deserves the high praise of the Negroes in that conflict between slavery and anti-slavery. They were colored men—half white and half Negro. They owned slaves; they had their plantation. That had gone to France to get the first education available in France, which was finer than that available in any college or university in the United States at the time. They came back cultured; they lived on their own plantations and did not have to come in contact with the poor white man. Captain Calliasus was white of age. When the war was being waged Calliasus let his money go and put his race first, and organized a regiment of Negro men—to fight for freedom and such slaves as he freed before the emancipation proclamation. That is to say, he offered them to the army authorities—to Abraham Lincoln's government. They took his men that he had trained, drilled, and equipped at his own experience—his and others. They took the regiments from them, put white men at the head and gave them mere captain and listener's commissions — because Captain Calliasus began as a Jeannette. That was the recompense for sterile under the Abraham Lincoln's government. The next point to be proven is the petition that without these Negro soldiers the North could not have lifted the South. I would not be willing to accept it myself from any seceded state authority; but when Abraham Lincoln knew what he was talking about, I. O. D. W. Henderson of Washington, S.C., asked August 17, 1864, that he might be able to know what he was talking about. 231 West 138th Street Phase Anderle 4411. Global Understaff of New York Local U. N. L. A. 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. All colored newspapers please copy. NEGRO WORLD. IMPORTANT NOTICE All Securities of Divisions, Chapters and Sectors of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION and MARIAN COMMUNITIES LEAGUE are hereby requested to immediately notify the office of the Secretary-General, of Ware 1890 Street, New York City, an address of address of the offices of the Division. arguing against the contempt that the North should not have declared the slaves free by the Immigration Proclamation, Lincoln said: "Drive back to the support of the rebellion the physical force which the colored people now give and promise us, and neither the present nor any incoming administration could save the Union. Take from us and give to the enemy the one hundred and thirty, forty and fifty thousand colored persons now serving us as soldiers, enemies and labors, and we cannot longer maintain the contest. The party who could elect a President on a war and slavery restoration platform would, of necessity, lose the colored force; and that colored force being lost, would be as powerless to save the Union as to do any other impossible thing." Certainly that is as precise and as explicit as it is possible to have evidence. For the last two points we go to the text of the Emancipation Proclamation itself. If the South had agreed to return to the Union Lincoln would never have issued the Emancipation Proclamation. He says so in correspondence which I cannot quote here. They are official exchanges of explanations between himself and several officers of the government. But I stand here on the text of the document itself. He says: Note that Abraham Lincoln says in this document that he is doing this "as a fit and necessary war measure," as a measure which he explains later was to bring Negroes into the ranks of the army, as a measure which was intended to take the slaves who were working on the Southern plantations away from them by letting them know that they were free and that they could run away without the risk of being sent back, "as a fit and necessary war measure." He says later that "this measure is warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity." And what does that measure provide? It provides that the slaves shall be declared free, only in those States that are in rebellion. What of West Virginia? He exploits except the forty-eight counties of Virginia which are now designated as West Virginia. And he excludes in the State of Virginia the counties of Berkeley, Acumac, Northampton, Elizabeth, York, Princess Anne and Northfield, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth; he excludes Arkansas and Texas, and in the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1980 State of Louisiana he assumes the gunmen of St. Bernard, St. John, Jackson, and others altogether thirties perish. Why the exceptions? Because the Northmen treat men in control in these cases and it was not needed them "as a dit and necessary war measure." He was not declaring a freedom measure—he was declaring a war measure; he was taking the tools of the enemy. That and only that that he came along at. You see how truly he spoke when he said that if he could only win the war by forcing some of the slaves and leaving the others around to servitude he would do that. And I remarked at the time that that was exactly what he did do. I choose to rest my case here. I have presented a summary of facts that to most of our people will be "very openers." I make no claim to have given the results of professional scholarship. It is our shame that the facts were right there on the surface. But we have no interest in those matters. We talk about lea- and men and "bookish" people and we leave information to them. Whereas, information of this kind is more important as such as I have presented bese tands in such as the practical political life of our nation and the way in which they cast their views. That certainly is a sufficiently practical matter and we have let it go. We have lived in lies; in blind ourselves in the luxury of lies told us by white people and black politicians who were feeding out of their hands. The character of Abraham Lincoln is a great character, but it is not what we have been told. Abraham Lincoln was not a friend of freedom—Abraham Lincoln was not a friend of Negroes. Abraham Lincoln was not an altruist, and it is high time that we Negroes of today who boast of our education and culture should be aware of this simple historical fact. It is time that we Negroes should do our own historical work instead of taking our food pelican-wise from the white people's pouch. And when we do this we will have reconstructions to make as vital as those I have made here on the relation of Lincoln to liberty. For, while we patter about race emancipation we will still be brain-bound to the white man's mental product and his mental interpretation of our people to the world in which they live. And that is, after all, a more hopeless slavery than physical bondage could ever be.

It Is Expected That 60,000 Delegates Will Attend All Negro Newspapers Are Requested to Send Delegates Start Preparing New for the Greatest of All Conventions ADDRESS Prot. Wm. T. Moore, Library Wing, The Library World, West 12th Street, New York City Doe Sir: William Hendrick Worley, by whom he is well as "in the international association," and who subject in the attempt to Indian the American people to wage war against Mexico, has launched a propaganda against the Negro. Assured that these exist within our race some sympathetic, irritating, selfish and "cleavy" Negroes, who for their master, are very easily to help defend their own cause, he is contented for the time being to bind his preliminary campaign against the African Negro. We recall sometimes during the war, and nearly almost every Sunday, Mr. Pearl's efforts teaching upon the African. He would like the world to understand the present condition of his brother in Africa, and that he helped him immensely in the strength of spirit; and surely he will resolve the disguised and understood work of the propagandist, but is determined that from "conforture" there shall be no division between him and his brother in Africa or America, Europe or the West Indies. We would also like the world to know that the New Negro has awakened from the long chamber and holds within his very wide cortisle ideals and ambitions, arising second to nama in quality, and surely meaning (if not higher) alongside of those in nama of people of the world, in which the Negro is independent in burning and awaiting for the glorious day of their national independence. And this torch of liberty and independence, when nama burdening in the New Negro's soul cannot be extinguished, for it needs in that soul which is fertile for life and hope, valor and determination. Mr. Jesse charisthus the hope that white "unarmy" and arrogance will forever preemptate, and he engages himself in a preliminary campaign by attacking the African at home and camouflaging in the meantime his real objective. We are confident that when the major propaganda failed by such traitors as could be found) shall have started, the doctrine of real emancipation - Negro nationalism - will have been upon millions of galant New Negro men, enslaves, if necessary, to make the supreme sacrifice for the redemption of the race. In conclusion I advise all Negroes, "Republicans" and "Samaritans" to think seriously over the future of the race; think as the Philippines do at the present moment—in terms of nationalism. We are a race capable of accomplishing as much as they can if not more.

M. Johnson, Mayor of the City of Mon. rovia and Potentate “ the U. N. L A, Tells of ‘Because of the ban placed on public gatherings as a precautionary measure fyainst the spread of the epidemic which started, It was thought edvis- able by tho Sanitary Commisalon not to grant permite for promiscuous gatherings As a reeult. the local 4l- vision of the U. N. L A. had suffered a great deal tn not being able to hare any meetings; nor had it had the priv- flege or opportunity of hraring the delegate sent to the great convention held in New York City August last. A permit having been finally grant- ed. the firat meeting of the association aince the arrival of His Highness the Potentate, was therefore held on ‘Thureday night, December 29, 1910. ‘With a large crowd present, Mr. C. A. V. Wehner, vice-president of the local branch, ascended the platform and called tho meeting to order. ‘Among those also seated on the plat- form were His Highness the Potentate Gabriel M. Johnson, president of the local branch and delegate to the con- vention; ex-President Arthur Barclay, of the Republic of Liberia, treasurer of the local association: Senator HL, Parker, of Monteerrado county: Ass0- clate Justice F. . R. Jobnecn, of the Supreme Court of Liberia, und the Rev. Mr, W. L, Turner, chaplain of the local division. ‘The attention of the boty was for a few minutes given to “unfintebed business.” after which the vice-presi- dent presented the delegate. Ta a very clear, expliclt, and inter esting manner, His Highness told of nin trip to Mgatn and thence to th {United eaten, of hie arrtval there, be- tng the perseea! guest of the Hom [Marcus Garvey: of the great opent. 4 & with propriate rutigious ser icon, nt the magnificent procession at jeach service of the day; of the pom- }pous parade on the day following; the grand gathering at Madioon Square [Garden that night, and of the conven: tion week by week. Among the many things, the speaker aid: “During the first week the whole fume was given to hearing complaints {trom elegates from all parte of the fworid, and the algaificant thing about twas that each Bad the same story tc ‘tell, Bome told of their being ‘jim- rowed.’ - segregated, and lynched; hile others tol of the discrimination peonage, and general oppression which wan received at the hands of the domi- neering Caucasian. I think of the whole number of delegates I was the only one who had no complaint to make, living ax I'am in a free country coptrolied by our people. (Applause) “We discovered that the experience of the majority of those who had come to the convention wag that when complaint was made to any eat of peo- plo by a single individual of a few people—wbether to American, British. French or otherwise — nothing way done. But when made by large wam- berm something was doing" (AD plause) He told of the happenings of the three weeks following and also how the American press, both white and colored, attempted to ridicule the do- tugs of the convention during the frst week, and how they dually almmered down when they found out ‘iat there was seriousness in the movement, for the public meetings were opened to anybody who could get in the audl- cortum. “Te sald further: “I found out how sadly ignorant most of the Negroes atreaf were about Liboria--and wa are entirely reaponstble for thie — I therefore in my feeble way attempted co give such information as might help slear thelr minds concerning conditions pere. “Now, speaking about Mr. Garvey, so: many of us have been wanting to know ‘what kind of a man ls ber what are his plans, etc. I might say chat he ts a man just like any other man, with ono idea in view, and that is to come over to help us bulld this sountry which wo havo started as & mation. Some have said that be in- ends comltg over to take the reins of rovernment and all sorts of other cyn~ cal ret ria, Lat me say, 2in Garvey has no idea of the kind. I was with im in a pereonal way, and had the appectunity of atudyiig him, and I found out that his intentions are pure- y racial and not selfah.” After telling of the propor two aiition dollars toan of the association which ts to be used for constructioa work here in Liberia, and about the ality of thp Black Star Line—for the penefif of the many Thomasee—having made an inspection of the ships, he sautioned the membera generally about helr duty to the assoelation, saying: “There are so many that came into hls movement for what they can get put of it rather than what they can put into tt He aaked that “all exer cisa moro patience and the results which we are all working for will soon pe realized." _ Tomedlately after the speaker con- tuded his report, Mr. D.

He then introduced the doo- tor as the speaker of the evening, who took for his address: “Men and Brethren, What Must We Do to Save AfricaT” ‘This gentleman spared no pains to show what Africa was, is and| shall ba. Many of his hearers were astounded, especially whites, when he| expounded the ancient glories of Africa| hundreds of yeara before the birth of| the Master Jesus, and he predicted] that fo thirty years or more, Africal must be free so as to feed and clothe| the world, and, more, to teach the na- tions clvilization—we shail cause them to beat thelr words into pruning hooks, hang thelr trumpets on the wall and study war no more.

It is not very often that you hear from the Banes Division although we are making such wonderful strides forward. But at this juncture I solicit a little space in your valuable paper so as to let our brittle throughout the length and breadth of God's universe know that we mean to go on to victory. "Get into line" is the motto of the Banes Division. We have recently been favored with a visit from one of the princes of our race in the noble personage of our Chapinian General, His Grace The Right Dr. McGillie. Our members add that we have designed the Liberian Loan and we were graciously designated "The Model Division of Cuba" by this distinguished Minister Plenipotentiary from the High Executive Council of the U. N. I. A. He has electrified us and stimulated us and we are going to show it—just watch us grow. We only hope, dear sir, that you will always find space for the reports from Banes. On the evening of February 20th, the Liberty Hall of this Division was again found wanting in the event of a monster parade held in honor of His Grace's second visit, but at which he was unavoidably absent. With promptness at 3 P. M. the order forward was given by our second VicePresident, Mr. R. M. Wallace, who was in command; the band then leap off with that good old processional, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," with the glorious red, black and green proudly leading in front. Then came our banner with the New Negroes motto inscribed: "One God, one aim, one destiny," between whose poles marched the Chaplain with his brother Chaplain from the Preston Division in his robes of office. The officers of the division next followed, with the Black Cross nurses following proudly leap by the men of the Division in the order of march was the general lady membership with their officers leading, and then lastly the general male members, a brilliant lot of New Negroes with a determined look across their brows, each wearing a regalia with colors of the Association. The spectacle was inspiring and the Division has again scored another point in the estimation of the public. On reaching the hall gates the band good still while the procession marched in and took their scat. The Chaplin then took charge and commenced the Divine Service.....say by the visiting Chaplin who prescribed an a-quent hymn to the Lord, then he himself exertation, "Come, let us build again the walls of Jerusalem, that we be no longer a roach." Then ended a memorable day in the history of the Bane Division. May God continue to help and guide all those who lead and quickly grant the desire of our hearts of a thank and re- SEND IN FOR CHARTERS AND INFORMATION NOW ALL NEGRO COMMUNITIES OF THE WORLD (of America,African,the West Indica,Central and South America) ARE REQUESTED TO FORM THEMSELVES INTO BRANCHES OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION and AFRICAN COMMUNITIES LEAGUE OF THE WORLD FOR THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE SENTIMENT AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE 400,000,000 OF THE NEGRO RACE ORGANIZE FOR RACIAL PROGRESS, INDUSTRIALLY, COMMERCIALLY, EDUCATIONALLY, POLITICALLY AND SOCIALLY ORGANIZE FOR THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING A GREAT NATION Any Seven Persons of Liberal Education of the Negro Race Can Organize Among Themselves and Apply to the International Headquarters for Necessary Instructions and Charter, Provided There Is No Chartered Division in Such a Community.

L THE WONDERFUL PROGRESS OF THE COLUMBUS U. N. L. A. AND A. C. L BY CAMPBELL P. 2. LEWISTALL. Special Correspondence. Columbus, O. Fah. 18.—The eye, ears, and tummy attention of 22,091 (latest census) population of Negroes of every hue and tongue, every physical and mental peculiarity and temper- ment, from far and near, living, or sojourning in this "good old Columbus town," are turned towards the Columbus Division, No. 142, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro World, of which Rev. Edgar C. West is the able preadant, and F. E. Johnson the executive secretary. Here, the home of many a poorest Negro politician and erudite statesman who have reached the zenith of their fame by tongue and pen, or quasel- leadership, the home of the most modernly equipped Empress and Dunbar theaters, built, owned and controlled by Negroes for Negro patrons only—the home of the pipe organ and the matchless musician organist, Sammy Stewart — the flourishing Spring Street Y. M. C. A. N. A. A. C. P. the Urban League, and War Camp community leader, (political) organization for the development for the advancement of "oustin people": Garveyism, the greatest historico and worldwide movement among Negroes since the birth and ministry of the Men of Galilee—the 'under of Christianity, has come to stay. Already many who have tasted of the first fruits of race consciousness are joining the local branch of this association, ministers of local churches, prominent phyllologist, antiquist, lawyer, business men and women of the race are asking reliable data and information about the Garvey movement. Many are expressing anxiety to hear His Honor Marcus Garvey, the President General, himself, while some are reaching and following closely the accolades of the Garvey growth, in New York, Chicago, Chicago, Cleveland, in Canada, published every week in the official organ, The Negro World. This division was first organized April 12, 1929 by Edgar C. West, while a city pastor of the A. M. E. Z. Church here with ten members who elected him president; J. W. Gudger, first vice-president; J. W. Wiley, oral secretary; Albert Jones, associate crafter; G. M. Moor, treasurer; and Roy H. J. Vichardson, chaplain. The business meetings were "bald in his church and an earnest effort was made to get charter. The drive necessary to get charter was the drive necessary and a full attestation was rendered the parent body in New York. The division was re-organized in the carriage Hall at Long street and Garfield avenue September 19, 1920, on the occasion of a visit of the international organizer Miss Hirrietta Vinton Davis and party with fifty-six members who elected the following officers: President, Rev. Edgar C. Wheat; first vice-president, J. W. Guadry; second vice-president, P. E. Johnson; general secretary, Jas. W. Wiley; treasurer, M. R. Moor, and associate secretary, Mrs. Jannie Polly. Although this division has had many ups and downs peculiar to every great and historic movement that ev came to city yet the membership is daily increasing through the indefinitable and vigilant efforts of its president and his co-workers for the cause until it has now 205 members, each of whom has joined and herself a committee of one in an aggressive spring membership drive. Since the re-organization of this division and the receipt of its charter the officers are negotiating for the lease or purchase of a meeting place, which has been difficult to get from the very start. The division had a round meeting last Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in the Chamber of Commerce Auditorium on Broad street, and in the Garfield Hall, East Long street, on the occasion of an official visit by Goo. B. Rillex, special representative of the New York office, Mrs. E. Little and Rev. Shadrach Williams, vice-president of the Cleveland division.

The loss of great of these things hides of burden as he may must have to carry his own load by himself. But thank God, this is an Independence Hurdle. We are not yet satisfied. We then called on the Commandants do Arms to find out the charge. I spoke to him his arrogance. Approach me. "We, too, were ruled by the law, as thus rolled by us. We must be informed; therefore, as in the Consul's sentence, you are not satisfied.

South, I pass over in this city, a few months ago on the 11th of this month proceeding on the 12th, we have a meeting in the Lilburn Negro Improvement Association. We write in this expo- goodies—a bath and yet get there when the water is cold, and when the water weighs in萎缩. It is seen that the water is so severe in the approbation of the Mara and the hostage of a neighbor, day for the nurse. That is what gives, impatience, strength and仁慈ness to the movement and figures it ultimate, success, and renders it inconprehensible to those members of the race who have not yet seen the light. I am told that in, the ten days the drive, has been on more than 250 new members, have been added to the local division, and still they come. To Mr. William Wara president of the division here, is due much of the credit for the large attendance on the meetings and the hold the organization has expect the imagination of the purpose of the drive, and is still a number of that, he is a faithful and indeterminate man. Mr. W. A. President, secretary to Dr. Kasson, efficient as he is modest and unassuming, is a young man that is on the job. I may say to passing that Dr. C. N. Grandison, us-president of Bennett College, veteran orator of the old school and recent convert by Dr. Elison to the U. N. L. A., is doing reorgan service along with Dr. Elison. If what I have heard from the doctor during the past week is a fair sample of what he can do, the association has him in the examinations will fulfill its examples a few worthy of their steel.

KAPPA ALPHA PSI FORMS LOCAL CHAPTER AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY For the first time in the history of Columbia University a Negro fraternity has been formed and been given recognition by the college authorities.

It is an organization, for the purpose of achievement, it is designed to enrich the life of its members and to award within them high ideals, honorable ambitions, to stand for progress and true manhood and prove a valuable life, in the college authorities in creating a pleasant ideal atmosphere in the college, in maintaining a high standard of education, in the college all that is dishonest and base. It aims to abuse race connotations in the Negro student and insult him that desire to see his race sound in name in all lines of collegiate endeavors.

Excellentley Marcus Garvey, that we, in his respective departments, shall measure up, appreciably to the duties assigned us for the redemption of our race and our motherland Africa. We, of the musical department, realize that the power of music cannot be over-estimated as a preparative and stimulant to the souls of our down-trodden people. We of the arts, and elocution class, are reminded that when the music is stilled, the loud chatter voice proclaiming the Universal's doctrine of love, good will and eternal freedom to our fellow men must be ochehed by us to many of those millions of ears which it will be-impossible for the voice of His Excellency, Your Grace and the other members of the Executive Council to reach. Jointly, we are reminded that to you we must look for tuition, inspiration and qualification for our respective tasks. Permit us once more to say in conclusion that we love you and appreciate you, hope that the future under your tutelage be the bountiful of opportunity and of good cause and to humanity. We remain.
