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 T has recently been disclosed that real estate operators and "stock sharks" have been reaping a harvest among colored people disposing of lots and houses to which they had no title EDITORIAL ..... .....

It seems that these unscrupulous individuals, sometimes having the temerity to represent themselves as being parts of incorporated bodies, have gained the impression through a series of depredations of this sort that colored people will fall easy prey to their operations.

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.

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.

Gibson, members and adhérents of the U. N. L. A. Literary Club were honored with the all-improving presence of His Excellency, Rev. Tobitt, leader of the Eastern division of the West India. His Excellency arrived in this city on the morning of the 7th inst., and at 8:30 p. m. preceded by Guy Hall, the Masca of local Negro thought, where he addressed a large gathering. Mr. Gibson was appointed master of ceremonies. Seated on the platform were His Excellency, the officials of the Library Club, including Mrs. T. O'Brien, Indy president of the local branch; Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Rainford, the Union Davies of Montreal and Rev. Nelson. The entertainment began at 8:45 with the singing, f "Greenland's Icy Mountains," followed by a french prayer delivered by the Rev. Nelson. PROGRAM Opening address .. Mr. Gibson Enter address Mr. T.

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. American soldiers gave their lives that the world may " be made with her Democracy". That Democracy has proved to be only a scars of paper. The golden their for which all the world's powers have been exploiting Africa is yet a inistry to the world. No one knows where it is bidden. It is being kept in reserve for the�. Elmore Curvey—the redeemers of Africa: The Evolution Division of the U.S. in 1911 held a research meeting in New York City on 12th April 1911. The U.S. Civil War was the first of the years that the members of the 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. In part is due to the careful examination I make in every case, it is not by the latest diagnostic method. It is which, it will tell you if you really can be cured.

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.

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. THE AMERICAN AIRROAD. By W. H. Brown, M. A. In 2 vols. Publications The Truth, Households and Paper Press of New Haven, Conn. Vol. 4. From the able son of William E. Martin, Minister of Art, as Al-Azizah, has just found a host in these villages: "The Africans Abroad." This book is yet another reinforced triumph in the world-African effort to revive from premeditated concomitant of oppression ignorance the pre-Byzantine history of the African. It is pending preparation to help that, as the youth, because and supra of North, Central and North Africa belongs a part of national grandeur, so the conversion of an African brain and its unimproved adaptability are referable only to a part of moral achievement, whose evidence nothing more ancient than violence could have so completely learned from the chain of human history. The author's academy and competence to place upon guard the "evolution of the affair under Caucasian milieu," is shown in a meet and scouted process. He is grappled for the age, derived from the vast array of authors referred to, and, in expressing his faith, uncontemptuous directives to the reader the depth of his research work, while he utilizes the opportunity to both unwear to witness Affair authorities.

Therefore knowing the headache, and the various pitfalls that confront the noble organisation in its world wide movement to solidify the teaming Negro masses of the world, and as I am a member of the suffering race I do it most appropriate and helpful to give the best that is in me to alleviate the conditions of this oppressive system. As I have set forth in my previous article to the Negro World, on what is necessary to enhance the development of Liberia and also strengthen the alms and objects of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. of the Work. Mining is the leaves that quicken the human instinct to use all the power at his command both from an ingenuous standpoint, and a deity to acquire the material things to be derived therefrom, to penetrate anywhere and everywhere in his mind last for gold. And to his avariciousness he would move the rary foundation of the earth to attain his enda. So you see, that mining and its attendant possibilities makes for the quick development of primitive countries and backward races. For I know from experience that the Negro, is not sufficiently trained from a geological and Mineralogical standpoint, and also from a stagepoint of organizing the necessary office force and field forces that is necessary to make such a project a success. These conditions are most vital at this time for the complete success of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. of the World program. CONDITIONS IN To the Editor of the Negro World! Dear Sir—We beg most respectfully to call your attention to the fact that we have been reading, the Negro World for about two years. We have been reading other Negro papers, such as the New York Age, The Washington Bee, The Crisis, The Colorized American, The Liberian West Africa, The Liberian Register. At last we must acknowledge that the Negro World is the masterpiece of all then. Some of us Negroes did not know, I am a soul in Africa, and did not know what would be expected as other men as the whites are until we began to read the sentences of the Honourable Marxs Garvey in the Negro World. We can fail to employ our whole time in enforcing the great cause of the U. N. I. A. in selling all her literature, books, newspapers, pamphlets, leaflets, pictures, amusements and Negro National Anthem, etc. etc. We trust that these acts will act as general advertisement. Continuing them as you see best. Hoping this will act also as an advertisement to all the Negro Factories Corporation, such as perfumes, toilet soap, laundry, patient medicine and novelties, such as 180, 186 and 256 goods. It is very necessary that we write for territorial rights. We have a course of mail conveyance, namely to Sierra Leone Railway, which gratifies about 237 %iles. There is large reading populations that stretch along the railway. Each of the railway stations have about 82 %iles at Bago Town, about 82 %iles at Freetown, with population of about 200. The next station is Biahk, about 41 miles up the line, the population is about 165. The third station is Bradford, about 48 miles up the line, with a population of about 228. The fourth station is Rotufunk, 58 %iles up the line, where the american missionaries established in 1872, with a population of about 869. The fifth station is Ebaoya Junction, about 64 miles up the line. There are about 60 working staffmen in the railway employ. One branch of the railway extends from Baga Junction into the Tumine country. The sixth station is Moyamba, 178 miles. Horia also is a population of about 560. The District Commissioner resides here. The Roman Catholic Mission has established a home also for the industrial training of native boys. The U. E. Mission of Americans hope established a home for the training of native boys. The ninth station is Kangahua, about 52 miles up the line, with a population of about 225. TODAY'S BEAUTY TALK The eight station is Mine, situated on the left bank of the Taim River, about 185 miles up the line. The population is about 807. The U. T. K. Mine established *c* home for the industrial traction of nat. byga. The sixteenth station is Hugha, 183 miles up the line, with a population of about $20. The seventeenth station is Commendi, five miles to Sugwena, with a population of about $20. The eighteenth station is Sugwena, 284 miles up the line, with a population of about $80. The Bank of British West Africa is established here also. The nineteenth station is Dam, 1218 miles with a population of about $80. Here the British Government established the head military station for the super ruler of the native tribes. Here we established our home. I built the station foundation in January, 1904. Camwood abounds in this district, also palm trees in abundance, from which the natives gather the palm units for the manufacturing of palm oil. etc. Rice is plantable at the clop season. Sweet potatoes, ground nuts, oranges, banana, phantas, sugar cane, mangrove, cascade, cocoa and corn grow here in abundance. The Mee River is one-half mile from Daru and abounds in fish. This large river empties into the Atlantic Ocean about 50 miles below here. Here many strangers come and go from the French frontier and the Liberian frontier to make trade with the English. These are the main reasons why we wish your goods here in exhibition. As we are anxious for your connections, hence we are pointing out the particulate for your information, although we can represent you here as local agents. The Sierra Leone local papers do not seem to say anything about the working influence of the Negro World. We do not even know of a true member of the U. N. I. A. living it, this part of the Protectorate, although we see in the Negro World that there is a branch organised in Freetown, but this can be easily accounted for. The government employees are custom clerks, railway clerks and merchant clerks; the fragment remainder STAR HAIR A Wonderful Hair D 1,000 AGENT ```markdown ``` send GLG and we will send you a full supply that you can begin working with.

I wrote two months ago to the branch in Frostown informing them that I have received my certificate of membership, ran the Honorable J. R. Brooks, Secretary General of the Present Body at New York, admiring me to pay all my face over to that branch for transmittal to the Parent Body at New York. Until this present day I have not heard a line from them. But this does not dismuse me far up here. And we are desirous to represent the American Negro manufacturer. We have good-will toward and deserve service of the U. N. L. A. We hope this will be our pater. Bham station is 220 miles up the line with a population of about 250. A public school is established here. Pendembu is 221 miles and the terminus of the railway line. It has a population of about 1,100. This is a great trading center. Pendembu is about 11 miles off the Liberian frontier, where great numbers of Liberian natives come over to make trade with the English daily. Pendembu is also about 15 miles from the Franco-British frontier, noted for her supply of cattle and palm kernia, but swing to the heavy duty which the French has leaved on the cattle, there has been a shortage during the last two years. From Pendembu there is a motor line for the convoyage of luggage and produce to Kauro Lahm, the former possession of Liberia, now owned by the English. 135TH STREET, HABLEM The lecture given at the 18th Street Library on Thursday evening by Mrs. Gaisley Hayford and Mise Rhamon of Sierra Leone, South Africa, was largely attended and was interesting and educational. Mrs. Hayford spread of the great need of better schools for African women and girls to develop their art. Mrs Rasman displayed many wonderful specimens of African handwork and original design. On Tuesday evening the Book Lover's Club held a splendid meeting at branch. Mr. Victoire Daly gave a talk on the history of the clair's "Brass Clock." Keep interest was shown by the members and the discussions are very beneficial to all book lovers. Mrs. Grace of the Bojourners' Truth house will review Negro literature at the next meeting, March 29. Bierra Leone Protectorate.

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, March 14—The native police, in breaking a demonstration against Washington Churchill, the new Secretary for the Colonies, who is to have charge of Egyptian affairs, were stained today and compiled to Sea. Reinforcements for the police who came up fired on the crowd, killing three persons and wounding others. Mr. Churchill arrived in Cairo Thursday, accompanied by War Office representatives, in connection with Arab and Palestine affairs. He avoided a hostile demonstration by students who were awaiting him at the station by leaving the train a few miles outside the city and motoring to his hotel. Small sporadic anti-Churchill demonstrations took place in Alexandria Tuesday and Wednesday. Paul Rebecon, Baiters College football player, accepted a seat at honor at the speaker's table at the Columbia University annual senior class dinner at the Hotel Astor last night. As far as can be ancertained, the presence of Rebecon at the speaker's table set a precedent for Columbia senior class events. This Columbia president may soon be followed in another field, should Charles Glinp, star of the play "The Emperor Jones," occupy a seat of honor at the Drama League dinner. The presence of Rebecon passed without comment from the 125 members of the senior class at the dinner Following speeches by the president of the class and others Rebecon sang and remained until the party dispersed. L. R. Conden, president of the senior class, who sat at Rebecon's right, said: "There is no reason why Rebecon should not be here. At present he is taking a senior course in law at Columbia, although he is a Rutgers graduate. There has been no dissent about him being here, and he was invited by the whole class." When asked whether the argument concerning Charles Glipin had not been taken up by the class officers with reference to inviting Robeson, Mr. Condon said that the matter had not been considered in connection with the dinner, and that Robeson had been invited because he was one of "Columbia's most brilliant men, as well as being is widely known singer and fa- mous football player."—New York Tribune A Word in Brief of a Negro Ascend The New York Dames League has decided not to ask Charles Gilph to its head coach on March 6. He was considered, it appears, to be the best in "The Negro League" has been the season of the season, but then it was remembered that he is a Negro. Now Negroes are always an embassment to a dinner committee, for these are the people who are telling that Negro is present some of the dinners will get up and leave the room. It is not clear just how valuable the success of the dinner these sensitive souls themselves are, or how much of a loss it would be if they did leave the room. No estimate is made of their merits in comparison with those of the Negro from whom they shrink. One wonders what would have happened in this land of equal opportunity if some irresponsible member of a dinner committee had once invited Alexander Dunnes to be guest of honor. 10 . Mr. Glipin does not need the honor of being asked to dine with the New York Drama League, but it is doubtful if the New York Drama League can well dispense with the prestige which Mr. Glipin's presence would have given to its head table—Robert C.

Write today—NOW. 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. They see nothing good in the man, though he has wrought a work, the consequences of which are almost beyond human calculation. He has made the Negro think as he has URINARY obstruction, presumable comorbidity. He is operating, so instruments, no pain, no danger. Free Book rests in plain wrapper.

SHOCKING AND UNCHRISTIAN CONDUCT. The movement led by the Rev. Dr. George Alexander McGuilbane, known as the independent Episcopal Church (of Ethiopia) is going forward with greater rapidity than the most optimistic could have hoped for.

Such soul-inspiring and scrupured sentiments that characterised his every publication cannot fail to place him on parallel with "John Keats" like whom the cruel hand of Death prematurely secured for its keeping. Imanian B. Watkins has crossed the bourne over which no weary traveler returns: "Requiescat in peace." His last poem published in the Negro World of Saturday, 19th of February last, is indeed a masterpiece of the fine art. This conception of the poet's spiritual devotion finds expression in Sifaley's definition of poetry. Poetry is a record of the best thoughts and happiest moments of the best and happiest minds. Press writers cannot but glimpse into the mysteries which are comprehended by poets. "Loved and Lost" is a literary gem that fathoms the soul's deepest feeling and will ever be hailed. William Wordsworth thought of the poet: "In such access of mind, in such high hour Of eviction from the Living God. The light was not in enjoyment it en- lured. No thanks he breathed, he proffered no request. Rent into still communion that trans- sends. The imperfect offices of prayer and praise. His mind was a thanksgiving to the Power. Think made him; it was blessedness and love." The mission, the establishment, the presiden- tion, all must be men of vision, but the greatest seed is the post who in his mind and heart understands more clearly, feels more deeply and believes more greatly than any other. Sorrow has been considered by Ellis Corman, to be the price of revelation, the most utterance of human wisdom, the basis of religion, the solace of sorrowing hearts and the illumination to deal problems of existence. Now may still on, but the name of George Lucas B. Wheatley will forever remain as an indispensable monument in the realm of philology, art, and war. Every should we meet dearest friends On make at Dedalus sharks: praeter, all must be men of vision, but the greatest seed is the poet who in his mind and heart understands more thanify, feels more deeply, and believes more steadfastly than any other. . . .

He braved the Atlantic's dashing Wavea, and the tempest's roar. Where mighty billows were splashing In mid-ocean far from the shore. He was tossed by a storm on the raging Mediterranean Sea. Where winds and currents were waging A battle, to set our race free. Where the Red Sea looks over lonely Deserts so bleak and so bare. He called o'er it with one thought only— That freedom should be his kin's share. He braved the typhoon; the blazing Sun when its steady rays Sent its fire down in a dazing Stream through the tropic days. Thousands of miles did not daunt him, He explored the Promised Land; He hurried each fear that might haunt him. To follow God's directing hand. Leaving his loved ones to carry Ethiopia's message afar. He speeded and he did not tarry, To the land where they save him a star. Back on the swift wings of duty He hurried to gladden each heart, To tell of our fatherland's beauty, Enriched by the Creator's art. In our hearts long let us cherish Our leader who crossed the wide sea. That our race should live and not perish. Where men may be equal and free. ETHEL TREW DUNLAP.

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.

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.

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.

BROOKS' NOTABLE ADDRESS MAKES NEGRO WORLD CITIZEN Denver has had a spiritual, economic and industrial awakening since the advent of our distinguished guest and visitor, the Hon. James D. Brooks of New York city. Never in the history of Denver's civic development has it been so noticeable that the very inmost depths of the souls of the Negro folk has been perturbed. So simple, so convincing, so logically plain, yet so difficult for the race to effectively grasp that our progress along race consciousness has been delayed, were the hard facts, stubborn truths and distasteful information and advice, so strongly and strongly given by that powerful, eloquent, resonant, entertain and spell-binding orator, that men and women alike shouted "Amen!" "That's the truth!" preach the word. No such propaganda ever presented such rebellious and practicable hope for the utter unfettered free-dom from discrimination and unfairness as was presented by this inspired man of eloquent words. When we reflect upon his words of encouragement his historical narratives wherein the race has not only honored itself, but the alien race, our chest swells with courage to know that we were French a proud and righteous people. Race history in America and in the European countries was on his tongue end, and he was found giving citations of proofs of all injustices and establishing his glories. The Garvey movement was designed to honor and revive all things black; to begin to improve our children to think black; to train our young boys and girls to prepare for our children and paterity by teaching and preparing the way that if an alien man can have a bank, a railroad, a telegraph system somewhere in this world; if our educational facilities are any way the same in comparison, the Negro can also. If an alien can go to heaven as a president of a street car railway, so can the Negro. That the Negro must be and at all times act the part of a man. The Garvey movement holds out to the world a complete religious, economic, industrial, social and spiritual dimension by the pooling of our interests, combining our capital and acting and investing wisely. The Garvey movement is behind that Black Star Steamship Company, Negro Factories Corporation, Libertarian Construction Loan and the powerful, uncompromising way blazer. The Negro World to help create, stimulate and perpetuate Negro solidarity and racial unity. By the generous response in numbers, in spiritual enthusiasm and demonstration along financial lines, the Negro commercial effort and activity has now reached season of largest possibilities. This means that no time can be lost. Every day, every hour is the vital. The present is simply tremendous in its possibilities of victory or defeat. Under the conditions which now confront us the workable plan and upright racial movement promises the largest results to us. If our group will go out in eager quest for the providing and preparing of places for our children and their children new, what a spiritual, religious, social, economic and commercial harvest might easily be gathered. Our local conditions are such that a combination of capital, a pooling of interest and a wise investment can be right here in Denver, the same thing for our group as has been done by the other groups. Organize and inspire our community along business lines. Shall Denver be victorious by accepting the Carver plan or shall we remain still in our area, although but rarely shipping into a place which will curse our children few years to come.

THE VOICE OF THE DETROIT DIVISION, U.N.L.A.AND A.C.L Little or nothing has been said in the Negro World about Miss Detroit. But what part does she play in Garveyism, the new religion? It was she —Miss Detroit City—firgs to give the following abbreviated U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. to the doctrines as it was too long to be written in full on the face of an American money order blank. The new gospel has been preached in Bethel Church as early as February, 1917, and again in Second Baptist Church, June 2, 1918. But neither sceptical nor prompt, Miss Detroit looked on, then she accepted the good news, but in two factions, each one struggling for mastery. The man Marcus Garvey came a third time preaching the gospel of a sense Africa and saying "Awake, awake, put on thy strength. O Lybia, thy strength, thy strength. O captive daughters of Egypt." It is the only logical gospel of the human soul and the common people, which is always the chosen of God, came in great throngs to hear him. Pharisees and priests derided him, but the new religion sprang into a river of water promising life and drink to the oppressed souls of Africa's weening children. The two factions met into one and became the Detroit Divison. Mr. W. O. Smyer, a man of remarkable educational ability and warm interest, was elected president. Mr. J. Croom, law student, vice-president. Mr. O'Brien Bristol, student. General secretary, Mr. Horace Stewart, law student. Executive secretary, Mr. W. S. Reid, chairman trustees board.

MONSTER MEETING OF THE LOCAL DIVISION OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. AND AFRICAN COMMUNITIES' L-EAGUE His Honor, G. M. Johnson, Mayor of the City of Monrovia and Potentate of the U. N. I. A., Tells of Convention. Because of the ban placed on public gatherings as a precautionary measure against the spread of the epidemic which started, it was thought advisable by the Sanitary Commission not to grant permits for promiscuous gatherings. As a result, the local division of the U. N. L. A. had suffered a great deal in not being able to have any meetings; nor had it had the privilege or opportunity of hearing the delegate sent to the great convention held in New York City August last. A permit having been finally granted, the first meeting of the association since the arrival of His Highness the Potentate, was therefore held on Thursday night, December 28, 1920. With a large crowd present, Mr. C. A. V. Wehner, vice-president of the local branch, ascended the platform and called the meeting to order. Among those also seated on the platform were His Highness the Potentate Gabriel M. Johnson, president of the local branch and delegates to the convention; ex-President Arthur Barclay, of the Republic of Liberia, treasurer of the local association; Senator E. L. Parker, of Monteserrado county; Associate Justice F. E. R. Johnson, of the Supreme Court of Liberia, and the Rev. Mr. W. L. Turner, chaplain of the local division. The attention of the body was for a few minutes given to "unfinished business," after which the vice-president presented the delegate. In a very clear, explicit, and interesting manner, HIs Highness told of his trip to again and chance to the United States, of his arrival there, being the personal guest of the Hon. Marcus Garvey; of the great open. g. with . p. rostrate religious service, of the magnificent procession at each service of the day; of the pompous parade on the day following; the grand gathering at Madison Square Garden that night, and of the convention week by week. Among the many things, the speaker said: "During the first week the whole time was given to hearing complaints from delegates from all parts of the world, and the significant thing about it was that of them their being 'lime crowded', segregated, and lynched; vile others told of the discrimination, peacage, and general oppression which was received at the hands of the domineering Caucasian. I think of the whole number of delegates I was the only one who had no complaint to make, living as I am in a free country controlled by our people. (Aplause.) "We discovered that the experience of the majority of those who had come to the convention was that when a complaint was made to any set of people by a single individual or a few people—whether to American, British, French or otherwise — nothing was done. But when made by large numbers, something was doing." (Applause.) He told of the happenings of the three weeks following and also how the president presented the colored, attempted to ridicule the dolls of the convention during the first week, and how they finally simmered down when they found out "at that were seriousness in the movement, for the public meetings were opened to anybody who could get in the audi-ortum. He said further: "I found out how sadly ignorant most of the Negroes abroad were about Liberia, and we are entirely responsible for this — I therefore in my feeble way attempted to give such information as might help clear their minds concerning conditions here. "Now, speaking about Mr. Garvey, so many of us have been wanting to know what kind of a man is he? what are his plans, etc. I might say that he is a man just like any other man, with one idea in view, and that is to come over to help us build this country which we have started as a nation. Some have said that he in-formation has given the reins of government and all sorts of other legal rejits. Let me say, 'No Garvey has no idea of the kind. I was with him in a personal way, and had the opportunity of studying him, and I found out that his intentions are purely racial and not selfish." After telling of the proposed two million dollars loan of the association which is to be used for construction work here in Liberia, and about the reality of the Black Star Line—for the benefit of the many Thomases—having made an inspection of the ships, he cautioned the members generally about their duty to the association, saying: "There are so many that came into this movement for what they can get out of it rather than what they can put into it." He asked that "all exercise more patience and the results which we are all working for will soon be realized." Immediately after the speaker concluded his report, Mr. D. C. Cerrandas wrote to the president of the division offered resolutions tendering a vote of thanks to the delegate. An amendment was offered by ax-President Arthur Barclay, that "we also extend our hearty congratulations to His Highness the Potentate, for his having NOTICE BLACK STAR LINE, Inc.

After taking in several persons as members, the meeting adjourned. THE U. N. I. A. ALMOST ENCIRCLES ISLAND OF CUBA Strong Branch Formed in Jobabo, Oriente de Cuba, by Field Workers. Arriving by the 8:30 train from Camaguey on Thursday, February 24, the energetic field workers went to have a night's rest at the Hotel Palacio, to a wakeup Friday morning to start an evening of work with N. L. A. and Black Star Line to be told p.m. at 8:30 of the business at the town. Having interviewed the tentists and the alcalde, permission was granted and a placard with red letters was stuck up reading in Spanish and English, inviting one and all to come to hear the good news of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at the hour prescribed. There were over 500 persons gathered, Cubans, Haytians and other West Indians, and a few Canadians. The opening ode, "From Greenlands' ice Mountains," etc., was sung and the prayer of the constitution was offered by Dr. S. P. Radway. Professor Davidson read the first four articles of the constitution and then in Spanish the constitution and then in Spanish the nations civilization—we shall cause them to beat their swords into pruning hooks, hang their trumpets in the wall and study war no more. In the midst of his speech, a Canadian was told interrupted and wanted to prove that there were not 400,000,000 Negroes alive as was said by the doctor. The speaker then explained that if the boys and girls of the Negro race of fourteen years or less and the very old men and women were to be counted, there would be over 500,000,000 Negroes alive. (Great applause.) When alliance prevailed, the doctor continued and as the words of wisdom came from his lips, as in his real entreaty for men and more men to support the U. N. L. A., he told plainly he no power NOT BLACK STAR Notice is hereby given to the certificates of stock of the Company are hereby cancelled: 100 Certificates number Any one to whom certificates are issued is respectfully req of the Company, 56 West 135th S ELI The Public is hereby advise SELKRIDGE is no longer author Star Line, nor to sell the UNIV MENT ASSOCIATION COM members.

Professor Davidson then spoke again I Englid, thanking them for listening so attentively and announced that on the morrow we another meeting will be held, when he expected to see a larger gathering. Precisely on the morrow at the hour appointed another large crowd gathered to hear the story of the U. N. L. A. as many of them in this district never heard the name of the U. N. L. A. He took the chair again and outlined the aims and objects of the Association, and pointed out that it is better to die fighting for something than to die starving for nothing, and that the time had come to do or die. He spoke for nearly three-quarters of an hour, when he again introduced his co-worker, Doctor, who took for his subject: "The Call He Put on Lands from Error." Chain." Words cannot convey the seal and enthusiasm shown by this gentleman, but he hoped in closing that in 25 years more we shall travel around the world as tourists and have a bite of all the continents as black millionaire. (Great applause.) Professor Davidson then promised that Sunday night must be the proudest night in the history of Jobab, as arrangements were being made to secure the speeches down floor of the Hotel Palacia for the event as the kind owner, a Cuban, had kindly consented to loan the hall always till a suitable place is got, which will be known as the Jobab Liberty Hall. Sunday night's meeting will live long in the memory of all Jobab. Then the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Haldane, who lent their parlor organ, which greatly added to the night's event. The doctor formed a chair at once, and the presiding officer was present. At the hour of 7.30 the spacious floor was jammed to the limit and Professor Davidson took the chair and called the meeting to order by the sound of the gavel. The African ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," was sung, which sounded in the town as the voices of many waters.

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.

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.

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.

It will have the effect of laying up treasures for ourselves and at the same time laying a firm economic foundation. There are numerous other benefits accruing to the Negro race. Have you the vision? Can you see the possibilities for the race under this program? Of course you can. Already we have established a steam and a hand laundry and millinery store.

We had a real good time, the hall being crowded. This meeting was opened in the usual form by the chairman. Its objects were properly outlined in a masterly way, and much credit must indeed be given for the manner and way he acted. After a brief outline the chairman explained the nature of the course in turn gave to the audience a twenty-minute lecture on the good that can be done by the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. in that part of the city. Mr. L. Mairman, president of the Ladies' Auxiliary from Colon, was then called upon. She caught the fire, and gave them a tour of goodness about the work objects at the table, and the wife can do by righing together for the redemption of Africa. The chairman then across and threw her for the instruction given to those present. He then called on Mr. R. Collemy, the chairman of Begged the Fire Brigade. A. M. Simmons then instructed me Louisiana engineer stationed in Kill Taylor, from the Boone district. Louisiana learned her love to the churchman, and the stiltman then called some for a sale after giving the name of the school that she had come from. The first received a sale and then lived the fire burning. She is a really wonderful spooner and a real Sherif in the school of the U. M. L. A. J. M. SYNTOUR. GONE, BUT NOT FOREVER. Dear Mary, It is with deep regret that we have to publish the loss of another member of the race. February 8, 1921—Stanley M. Brown. "Gone, but not forever.

Moyell (Iowa) resulting in this decree his connection with the Wes. Burchfield, Church, and John Kingman, the British Council, congratulate the position of the U. N. A. by the local authority, it was necessary that Moyell, H. Dias, Press; B. W. Hipkins, In. Vloe-pret; G. A. Hewlett, In. Vloe-pret, and G. E. Hewlett had the interview the Consul and had the cause of his arrogance. I understand it to be in the English arrogance. 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. I hope you will be loyal to your cause" commandants bring bons, carry bows, this is how you are looked at, bows are not to be valued because you are dishonest. Washington Mr. Bennett's arrival was so relief the two of the members that were meeting from flight attended the meeting that night listened and dismounted the length address of Mr. Bennett during the meeting, left our hall and withdidly; that for this occasion the officers of the Association increased their gratitude to this bons and that who arrived. In time to our departure. Further, I gave the British Council and Association of Deeds of Law, an appeal of "World Work" and three pleas of "New World" of different kinds that he may be able to deliver the ideas and purposes of this society, invocation and take responsibility for the President of Mr. Bennett, A.

PRESENTATION YOURS R. E. HIPOLITO THE GREAT DRIVE FOR THE R. N. L. A. IN CINCINNATI In the Negro World, We must be in a word about what have seen of the great work going on in the interest of the R. N. L. A. In Gosling on from the ALF. 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. I understand that if it is Dr. Grandison's purposes to devote the remainder of the days and strength to the propagation of the U. N. L. A. CHAR. G. LENNOR. Cincinnati, Ohio. 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. An organization such as Kappa Alpha Pi has long been needed at Columbia University in order that the Negro student, who daily attends the University, may have an actual means for being a part of the university; thus through the efforts of Mr. C. Udall Turpin, representative students have been selected; this selection approved by Secretary Fackenthal of the university and Omicron chapter of Kappa Alpha Pi has been formed. This fraternity has chapters in the following unites: *i*ties and cities: Indiana University, University of Illinois, University of Iowa, Wilberforce University, Lincoln University, Ohio State University, University of Nebraska, Northwestern University, Chicago University, Mehary Medical College, Temple University, University of Kansas, University of Indianaapolis, Howard University, Columbia University, Columbia University, Detroit Institute of Art, Louisville Alumni Chapter, Cleveland Alumni Chapter, Indianaapolis Alumni Chapter, Kansas Alpha Differences from other college fraternities, in that it is more than an ordinary fraternity. 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. Infirmation was held Sunday, February A. 1811, followed by a banquet in the private dining room in the X. W. C. A. and ended with a smoker at the fraternity house. The following are the members of the theatre chapel: Edward J. Larry, J. C. Francis Funnel, Albedo W. Tucker, J. W. Louis Davis, "J. S. B. R. M. Ernest M. Wood, J. B. M. Ernest G. Bagley, J. A. C.

A reception entitled, *Winners*, was received by Bernard M. D. Maya, which was very impressive. Mr. J. F. D. Fax made an appeal to fellow railroad men to attend and support the U. M. L. A. also to assert this branch with contributions to the building fund, which appeal was lively responded to. The G. M. L. A. Band played an overtive which was enthusiastically applauded. Colleague, second vice-president of the ladies' branch, for the interesting and inspiring program which was presented. On the first Sunday in March the program will be in charge of Mr. William Ward, chairman of the advisory board. The band is progressing rapidly, now under the tutelage of Mr. Matthias. The choir is also improving, and used one of their new anthems Sunday. The Ladies' Branch will hold a box social on March 3 for the Plano Fund. The Necktis and Apron Society gives by the Ladies' Branch, under the direction of Mrs. A. Roberts on Valentine night in aid of the Building Fund, was a great success, both financially and socially. Having finally received our Dominion Charter, we are now in a position to launch into work properly, and hage the members will retain and radiate their enthusiasm in the cause so that, in the near future, we shall be able to enlist the names of the majority of the race in this city on our roll.

The following letter was read at the dinner given in honor of the Chaplain General on Thursday night, March 10, by members of the Bible class chair and other members of the New York local: Liberty Hall, March 10, 1921. To His Grace, the Right Honorable George Alexander MacLaule, Chaplain General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League, greeting. York Graces. With the members of the Universal Liberty Hall Choir and of the Bible and Execution claak, take this opportunity to jointly express to you our sincere love and appreciation for you as an executive head of our particular departments in this great and worldwide movement. We congratulate ourselves in being honored to have a man of your ability and integrity, along with our peers chief Hie. 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.
