LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday, March 27, 1921.—Liberty Hall contributed its share in providing special Easter services that were held today in the various churches and religious meeting places in this section of the city. Though during the greater part of the morning the skies were percept and threatened rain, the clouds by noon gave way to the intensity of the sun, which broke earth, giving delight and gladness to the hearts of countless thousands, black and white alike. The temperatures too, was all that one could wish or expect at this season of the year, and many came to the great meeting hall without their overcoats or wraps. In the morning the regular religious services were held, with preaching by the High Chancellor, the Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, while in the afternoon and evening, as customary, the meetings took the nature of a semi-religious character, yet strictly in keeping and most appropriate (or Easter day). Large throngs gathered for each service, the evening service being the largest; so large, in fact that it is said, hundreds of thousands attended each batch of space, notwithstanding that Liberty Hall has a seating capacity of 6,000. It is doubtful whether any other edifice belonging to colored people had as large an attendance; certainly none in which the services were more fitting, elaborate and well carried out. Next to the musical program in the evening, which every one present enjoyed heartily, the principal feature of the service was the address of Mr. Solomon Plattie, of Kimberly, South Africa, who again recited his address given on a former occasion on racial conditions in South Africa. Prior to speaking Mr. Plattie sang one of the native songs in the native language, the words and music of which were both wald and strikingly strange to one accustomed to hearing the English language only. His address is given in full here, and is worthy of perusal in its enttouch, since it gives in detail the conditions under which our people in that section of the Dark Continent live, how they are oppressed by the British, who affect to be exercising a paternal care over the natives, how they are becoming more and more enlightened and awakening to a realization of the wrong and injustice done them, and of possibilities of shaking off this yoke of oppression and restoring possession of the land with all its mineral and vegetable wealth, which, by natural inheritance, is their, and which has wreptedly been taken from them. Rev. Dr. J. Francis Robinson, a member of the branch of the *U. N. A. I. in Cambridge, Mass., and a missionary under the National Baptist Convention, was introduced by the High Commissioner, Dr. G. E. Stewart, who presided. He said he was an optimistic man, and had faith in the future of our race. He has been identified, he said, with every movement that has been started in this country in the past thirty-five years for the purpose of helping uplift the race, and that though they all had their individual problems to solve, and though each accomplished certain results tending to advance the causes of our people, there was no movement that had come nearer to the ultimatum of the right solution of the race's problem than the Universal Negro Improvement Association since the day of our emancipation. He said moreover, that the Negro thus had had only half a chance, but that when in the course of time he was given a full chance, he would become like the great sleeping giant, who, upon being awakened, started the whole world by his encounters power and greatness; he will platter the world by his wonderful and surprising achievements.

IFICANCE OF EASTER: THE IMMORTAL THE SIGNIFICAN The services in Liberty Hall, New York, on Good Friday night were unusually impressive. The audience was serious and devout. The processional and recessional of the Executive Council the gowned choir, the Black Cross Nurses and the Legions were very impressive. The playing of the Black Star Line Band and the singing of the Universal Choir were in harmony with the dignity and the solemnity of the august occasion. The sermons of the High Chancellor, the Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, and His Grace the Chaplain General, the Rev. Dr. George Alexander McGuirk departed from the hackneyed and conventional platitudes usually prepared for the occasion and developed into real sermons which were characterized by spiritual fire and passion. The close of the Chaplain General's sermon held the audience spellbound as he spoke of the omniscence of God and the resurrection hope! The impressiveness of the service caused me to reflect upon the significance of the Easter festival and the immortality of ideas. School boys like to eulogize great warriors and statesmen like Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte. But the most dynamic force in human history was not a soldier, but a humble carpenter in an obscure province of the Roman Empire. To properly appraise the place of Jesus of Nazareth in human history we must realize its historical setting. Through brilliant military leaders like Scipio Africanus, Marius, Sulla, Lucullus, Pompey and Julius Caesar, Rome, a city on the Tiber in Italy, had extended her boundaries and frontlets until her empire practically stretched from the British Isles to Parthia, and from the Indian forests to the Sahara Desert. The earth was daily shaking and quivering under the proud tread of her soldiers and the eagles were perched triumphantly on the standards of her victorious legions. Towards the eastern outskirts of her vast empire, in an obscure town of an insignificant province, a carpenter called Jesus of Nazareth began as the age of thirty years to preach. He gathered twelve disciples around him and for three years addressed multitudes by the Sea of Galilee, among the hills of Palestine, revealing new truths about the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man and the immortality of the soul. One of his disciples betrayed him. Finally he was arrested, tried and condemned to die as a criminal. His disciples fled and one of them denied him three times. A purple robe was placed around him, a crown of thorns placed on his head, and the Romans easily diers mocked him and struck him. He stumbled and fell under the weight of the cross that was bearing. A man of ebony hue, Simon of Cyrene, came to his rescue. The crisis was stricken on the ground and the nails were driven into his hands and feet and then the cross was flamed in the air and he hung there between two criminals until soul and body patted company. It seemed to his followers and friends, who saw him die on the typhus of his nation, that an earthly career was finished. But something transcending human knowledge, happened in the meanwhile. For on the morning of the third day his followers started out with a faith in Jesus. Rev. Tobitt, the West Indian Leader, Ordained a Presbyter by His Grace, Chaplain General George Alexander McGuire. On Tuesday, in Holy Week, March 22, 1831, the Rev. Richard Hilton Tobitt, B. A., formerly a deacon in the A. M. E. Church, and recently elected leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indian was ordained a priestby of the Good Shepherd of God in the Church of God Ghislain, Independent Episcopal, of the City of New York, by "His Grace," the Most Rev. George Alexander McFaul, M. D., who was assisted in the laying-cup hands by the Rev. James N. Bifferman, B. D., and the Rev. Walter W. Smith, Episcopal priestby, Dr. Bifferman, appointed Ceilidh in New York. FIND 9 BODIES IN GEORGIA PEONAGE MURDER INQUIRY Mutilated Corpse of 8 Negroes Dug From Shallow Graves on Prisoner's Plantation—Four Found in River—Three Sons of Planter, Accused of Ordering the Killings, Are Also Arrested.

WELLS Atlanta, March 31. The bodies of five Negroes were disinterested today, on the Japar county plantation of John Williams, led by Gude Manning, a Negro who was employed by Williams, and who according to the authoritec, has confessed that he afflicted Williams in the killing of the Negroes. Another body was taken from the Alamo River. The bodies found today brought the trial discovered in the garage investigation in Japar county, up, to nine those of old Negroes. Negroes living in Yellow River, chained and weighted down with rocks. The Department of Justice agents announced tonight that they would continue the search for two more bodies, said Japar officials. Contained in the risen Lord and began to conquer the world. That was the first miracle in human history. They were forced to worship at night in the catacombs of Rome. They were thrown to lions in the Roman amphitheatre. They were burned alive at the stake. But they swept on like a tidal wave. The Greeks and Romans and the Egyptians forsook their gods and mysteries and embraced the God of Jesus. Then after nearly three centuries Emperor Constantine imagined that he saw a cross in the sky and under it these words, "In Hoc Signo Vincea." And he caused Christianity to be embraced as the official religion of the Roman Empire. That was the second miracle in human history. In a few score years the Barbarian tribes poured over the Roman frontiers and conquered Rome, but they themselves were conquered by the religion and civilization of the conquered. Then one by one the Goths, Gauls, Celts, Danes, Saxons and other wild tribes of Europe began to accept the teachings of the lowly Nazarene. His immortal ideas helped to tame their original barbarity and their brutal nature. That was the third miracle of human history. And today the nations who partially accepted His teachings are on top. Had they fully accepted His teachings there would have been no world war and the present unrest would not have been the predominant characteristic of modern civilization. Oftentimes when we behold the oppressive hands of the Briton, the cruelty of the Boera towards the natives of South Africa, the profiteering, the murders, the strife between labor and capital and the blind and irrational color and caste prejudice in the Southern States of America, we are tempted to despair of modern civilization. But let us remember that the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth teaches the immorality of ideas. Men are ruled by ideas. Impregnate the world with the thought that a man should be estimated and rated by his worth as a man rather than by the color of his skin and the texture of his hair and it will only be a question of time before color prejudice, a modern importation in human history, will be relegated to the limbo of discarded ideas. All honor to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who is touring the West Indies, for teaching the sons and daughters of Ethiopia that they have a destiny which they must work out by and through themselves and that by becoming factors in the industrial and commercial life of the Western hemisphere and by developing the resources of their native land and entering into fraternal and commercial relations with her, they can provide for the future of their children and their children's children. CORRESPONDENCE ceived that a human being could not be treated according to its size or age, but that brain development must be the test, and he found that a full-grown Negro's brain development approximates to that of a white child's of eight or nine years of age, and that to treat him as a grown-up made him, as it must, a spilled child, a dangerous result when such a child possesses the frame and muscles of a powerful man and when there are millions of such children." We have not the space to go into a detailed discussion with Mr. Weston and show that the Bantana, Ba-Lula, Ba-Lola, Wahumi and Ba-Mangwato peoples who live in the southern section of Africa are far from the dull stupid people that Mr. Weston claims they are. Readers of The Negro World recall how we quoted authorities early last fall in replying to a writer in the New York dailies and a gentleman from Jamaica. But assuming that the South African natives are really grown up children as Commander Weston claims, how ought they to be treated? How do we bring children from the child-like state of mind to the adult state? By education, of course. We not only have them study history, geography and science, which enlarges the boundaries of the mind, but have them study language and mathematics, which are valuable for mental training and discipline as well as the knowledge gained. The information provided are requested to write on one side of the paper and sign the other side with a stamp. If a non-place is used for publication. Unless the information are transferred with communication will receive no enclosure. The information will interest the public. Unlike our contemporaries we will prepare advertising or other rate for publishing any news Item that is of use to the public. And here is where we dissented from the Bourbons of the South. We did not object so much because they disfranchised and jim-crowed the Negro became he was a member of the child race, as because they endeavored to keep the Negro a child by curtailing his educational privileges, cutting off the higher courses in all the State colleges with one exception, transforming several high schools into industrial schools and curbing and repressing those Negroes who were too aspiring and too ambitions and were "getting out of their places," which was that of a hewer of wood and drawer of water for other races. The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or insultant advertising. Readers of the Negro World are extremely commanded to invite our attention to any failure on the basis of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in the Negro World advertisement. So it has been with the Boers. We blame them not so much for giving the South African natives the treatment which children require as for keeping them children. We have in hand a very interesting pamphlet, entitled "Some of the Legal Disabilities Suffered by the Native Population of the Union of South Africa and Imperial Responsibilities," by Sol. T. Plaatte. DOWNING AND GARVEY. IN the New York Evening Post for Monday, March 21, Mr. Garvey was a Negro contributed an interesting and instructive article on Liberia, but he went out of his way to throw a stone at the Man. Marcin Garvey, and his movement. He stated that the Man was President King of Liberia would prevent Garvey using a slave base from which to invade and conquer Africa. A careful perusal of this pamphlet would convince Commander Weston that the Boers do not treat the South African natives as children ought to be treated, that is, given an opportunity for intellectual growth and development and preparation for the duties of citizenship. New York, March 28. CORRESP MRS. TURNER NOT A REP- PRESENTATIVE OF U. N. I. A. Newark N. J. March 13. Hon. Marcus Garvey. Care of Black Star Line. $6 West 135th Street. Dear Sir: Now these are a few of the disabilities the South African natives labor under, as gleaned from Mr. Plaatje's pamphlet: "In Cape Colony (where natives have exercised the franchise for sixty years) colored voters may not now elect a legislative Assembly. No native taxpayer is entitled to a vote in Transvaal, Orange Free State or Natal. Colored mechanics are precluded from working as skilled laborers in the industrial centers. Colored citizens are excluded from military training in the citizens' defense force of the Union. Natives, whatever their qualifications may be, are not employed in the public service except as 'casual' menial laborers. If a native earns, say, 20 shillings per month under one white farmer, and another white farmer offers him £3 per month, it is a crime under the pass law to take the better job without a consenting pass signed by his master—the one-pamder. Daughters are not permitted to stay under the parental roof unless they: (a) Work for a white person, and (b) pay the town clerk a fee of one shilling per month. From the proceeds of the special native tax the Transvaal Provincial Council gets £40,000 per year for the maintenance of educational institutions for the free and compulsory education of white children, institutions to which the children of native taxpayers are not admitted. If there were no missionaries the children of native taxpayers would get absolutely no education. Natives may only carry on their ancestral occupation (as farmers and herdsmen) except as servants in the employ of and for the profit and benefit of white men, and any European permitting native cattle to graze on his farm is liable to a fine of £100 or six months' imprisonment." There is a woman flying between New York, Jersey City and Newark boasting and claiming by you paying one dollar to join and twenty-five cents a week, then person or persons become a subject from protection and aid from the Prince of Abbyssha. She stated also that they would fall help to rich land. She goes by the name of Jane, a black and black flag with a lion's body with a mans head. She has a place in Newark on Broome street. Will you please print in your paper this week, if possible, if there is any foundation, or is it a fraud. Please advertise and warn the public if it is wrong. Editor's Note—We do not know whether or not Mr. Turner is a representative of the Prince of Abybainia. But she is not a representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and she has received no authority from the Hon. Marcus Garvey or any official of the executive council to solicit members, raise funds and make promises. Therefore, whatever the lady in question represents or does not represent, she is not an agent of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. The reader can infer as to whether these restrictions and disabilities would be calculated to uplift and develop a human being, train him intellectually and morally and fit and prepare him for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. The iniquity of the "Black Cave" of the South pales into insignificance before the inhumanity and brutality of the Boers, Commander Weston probably knows the ways of the sea, but he knows as much about the human affairs on this planet as an*inhabitant of Mars does. To compare Commander Weston's letter in the Globe with Mr. Plaatje's pamphlet, one would infer that not Mr. Plaatje's, but Commander Weston's, brain development approximates to that of a white child's of eight or nine years. three years ago the Hon. Matteus Garvey launched the city in New York City. He gathered great crowds and raised the money for his many projects. The eagle eye of Henry Garvey named his prey from star. Here is my chance, his thought. Mr. Garvey, and offered inside information about the city and municipal possibilities of Africa. Mr. Garvey paid himself for said information and Mr. Downing amiled upon his life, beamed with a radiant smile as he sat in a large black office and chatted eloquently. Having traveled and simply being gifted with a flow of a language, a well-known linguistic manner, Mr. Downing is a brilliant master. A MESSAGE FROM BARBADOS February 13, 1951 The truth of the matter is that the Boers have profound respect for the intellectual ability, commercial possibilities and industrial skill of the natives, and dread them as rivals in politics, business and industry. Also why these restrictive laws? Men don't have to pass such restrictive laws to keep children, idiots and apes down. In a race men don't handicap a man who has a touch of rheumatism or joint. The handicap is only placed on a speedy runner, who, if given an equal chance, will easily outdistance the other runners. So it is with the natives of South Africa. They are only handicapped because if given an equal chance in politics, education, industry and agriculture they would rise too fast and become too powerful for the Boers' peas of mind. continuing Mr. Downing came with other plans of defending Liberals, which he would unfold and utter big consideration. Mr. Garvey apprehended Mr. Downing, but did not believe that ideas and plans were so practicable and feasible that he proposed expenditure of money. Then he made little so weighty when he visited the offices of the government. Kindly allow me a small spot in your big world where to convey to every Negro that we, this side of the globe, are awakened by the greatest bugle call ever sounded for Negroes by the greatest man of the day—who is none other than His. Excellency, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Long may he, who is the Negroes' salvation, live. Can Negroes find anything that is good enough or nice enough or sweet enough to say for him? I think not. In a vision I see him in future ages, when he, and you shall have gone from whence we came, being worshiped, praised and adored by those who are yet unborn, who are to enjoy the benevolence of his labor. But I know he will not grudge, but will be pleased with all that he has gone through. ABOUT six weeks ago, through the efforts of Alderman George W. Harriot, Lenox avenue between 139th and 141st streets, Harlem, was made available for a street market; every day stands lined the streets selling groceries and fruits to marketers at reasonable rates. Then the stores began to come down somewhat in prices and the housewives began to abandon the street market for the streets. It would be well to patronize the stands on the street to present their closing down, for if they close down there will be no money to pay the prices from sling in the stores again. Competition in the thing that keeps prices down. The residents of Harlem have complained about the high prices that they have had to pay for mainstores and vegetables in the past. If they will support street stands it will help to keep prices down. The more ```markdown ``` I know there would be such a thirst and longing for home that they would use their every effort to make it a great success in a very short time. Negroes of the wide world awake to your rights, awake to your call. Follow your leader and you, critics of the day, beware! Thanking you for space. Sincerely yours for the Cause. ELDICA GRIFFITH. (Member of the Bridge Town Division No. 40., corner of Reid and Studford, and co-worker of night school of same.) GREAT BRITAIN Editor The Negro World: Dear Sir-I will try again to get a line to the Negro public through your paper, but it seems just as easy for me to get through the Negro World to get to a line into the N. Y. Times. Referring to "An Antiguan," which appeared last week, I would like to say that Great Britain is daily bringing down the wrath of her most loyal colonies against har. As we all know, King George is not to blame; he is merely a figurehead, but the powers that be are the culprits to reckon with. The well-known curse of this U. S. A. is all that keeps the American colonies of European governments from becoming United States territories. With such hyphenas as Winston Spencer Churchill as Secretary of the Colonies we need not expect anything. Who could expect anything from the greatest Negro hater in the British Empire, next to Smits and a slave to the BERMUDIAN. ACCEPTED INFORMATION Editor The Negro World; this every day. Why is it that you don't take heed is a mystery to us. We cry aloud to the world "Let the Africans at home and abroad alone. Stop these damnable injustices that you are forcing upon us, for they are burning us to our very soul." H. G. SALTUS. CARD OF THANKS The Universal African Legion Band takes this opportunity to thank its patrons for their appreciation at the concert given at the Star Casino on the 16th ult. The members of the New York local and of the Brooklyn division, together with the officers and men of the legion whose uniformed presence gave color to the pageantry, deserve and are hereby tendered its warmest thanks. The scantiness of the attendance was due to the many entertainments ahead of it, but the band, despite such obstacles, promises to develop its department and make itself not only a great asset to the organization, but a musician, for the race at large. LIEUT. MANDEVILLE, Conductor. CAPT. ARNOLD J. FORD, Musical Director. MORE ABOUT GARVEY. We are receiving communications with reference to the Du Bols-Garvey controversy. We are doing what we can to permit the respective advocates to be heard. We have not been yet able to see why an attack should be made upon the Universal Improvement association and its kindred corporations unless there are evidences of fraud in the movement and the promoters are not trying in good faith to carry out the purposes of the great organisation. We cannot see why any organization or body of people does not agree with the organizers of the present movement should not launch an organization of their own in competition, with the one already organised. We are of the opinion that the Negroes must enter into the field of finance and commercialism; that they must stand in their own eyes that they must market their own products and that they must deal with the white commercial organisations as an organization and not as individuals in order to come unto their own in this great financial content. The Negroes have the brain, the brawn and the money, if they learn how to concentrate and use all three, the future of the world will be determined along peaceful lines rather than along the lines of war. The day of brute force is missing. The recent world war settled that. We hope to discuss this subject in detail, but for the present let the warfare among the Negroes themselves cease. Citizens of color, who believe in "America first" and who intend to work in this country, are therefore privileged in this country, rather than being grateful to any other, must necessarily take a friendly attitude toward the struggles of their brothers who are enslaved on the island. We should encourage the movement; for with every black man who leaves America will coalesce, add influence and power. We should also be behind the American cause. MARCUS CARVEY GREETED BY DELEGATION AS HE PASSES THROUGH CUBA MARCUS CARVEY GREETED BY DELEGATION AS HE PASSES THROUGH CUBA The president, Mr. Michael Alexander, gathered together his subofficers and members and greeted his Excellency Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, who passed through Marcane on the railroad train. Mr. Alexander was lucky enough to have sufficient time to express his greatest respects to his Excellency Marcus Garvey. He spoke as follows: March 18, 1921. "His Excellency Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa: We, the officers and members of the Marcane division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, beg to approach you and to present to you this bouquet of flowers in token of our high esteem and gratitude we owe to you as the founder and leader of so distinguished a race. "We realize the importance of our noble movement and can trust you, with your high inspiration and noble vision, to lead us back to our fatherland." "We could not remain passive and allow you and your noble international organizer to pass us unnoticed, as we are aware that your time in Cuba is limited, so we have prepared this simple tribute, which we hope will be accepted in the spirit of brotherhood and love. "We are sorry that your Excellency could not remain with us in Marcane a while, for no greater pleasure could be afforded us than to behold the leader recognized by all well-thinking Negroes in our midst of Marcane. "But as fortune did not smile on us to have you here, we are still satisfied to know that you have passed this way. We trust your Excellency's pathway will be strewn with roses and that we, the Negroes of Marcane, can assure you that we are prepared to be with you at any call to uphold the honor and integrity of the red, the black and the green. "We wish his Excellency's health may not fall him and that every day may see him in greater spirits when he beholds his people rallying to the call of our dear fatherland. We also wish you success on your mission to the other West Indian islands and that your voyage be a pleasant one, and that when you return to America you will remember your humble servants at Marcane, Cuba." Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for your noble space granted to advertise the above mentioned. Executive Secretary, Marcane Division Cuba. U. N. I. A. OFFICIAL AP- POINTED ON POLICE FORCE (Special to the World.) HAMTRANCK, Mich. — Verse J Whitaker, treasurer of The Ham- tranck Division. U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. has been appointed on police force here. Special Easter Services Continued from page 1 on the Resurrection or our Lord and Savior. For a young girl of her years, Miss Wilkinson spoke with remarkable self-expression, earnestness and command of speech, and undoubtedly made a serious impression upon the audience. She, however, looked many years older than that announced. She has a quiet manner, a soft voice, and spoke with a directness and aureness self-room seen in one so young. Her address she actually a sermonette while she concluded with a brief prayer. Being rather small of stature (she is dark brown in complexion), she had to stand on an elevation to be seen behind the pulpit as she stood while speaking. The musical program was a rare treat, consisting as it did of several numbers of Easter Carol, anthems and selections, which were rendered in masterly style by the Black Star Line Band and the choir, reflecting the care Prof. Isles of the band and Prof. Arnold Lord of the choir had exercised in preparing for the special Easter program. Dr. J. Francis Robinson, a member of the Cambridge, Mass., division of the U. N. I. A., was the first speaker introduced and sold, among other things. There are those who are trying to stop this movement by criticism, but they might as well try to dam up the Atlantic Ocean with a handkerchief as so stop it. I have been identified with every movement that was started in the country in this year that had for its purpose and object betterment of our race, and I believe that all of them had a problem to solve; they were simply a means to an end; but I do not believe any of them have reached the ultimatum in the solution of the race problem. I think this movement comes nearer, to the ultimatum than any movement started since the emancipation. (Cheers.) I would call the founder of this movement a Moses because he came to us psychological moment in the history of our country and tells us to lay our buckets down are and not only to lay our buckets down where we are, but to work out the redemption of Africa, our fatherland. Continuing, the speaker avowed his optimism as to the future of the race, predicating, as he said, his optimism on the mathematics of experience. "We came out from slavery," he said, and marched out from the plantation into the halls of the Legislature of the State. Out of the state Legislature we stakes in the ownership of one of the states in the South, out of the states in the North. State Senate. Did we make our own history? Read this book, James A. Garfield and James G. Blaine. Read their testimony of Eliott and Brown and Turner. They said that these men made as good a reputation for display of ability in the Senate as many of their peers, and were equal to them and superior to some of them. We marched on into the District of Columbia and became Registrar of the Treasury and we became Assistant Attorney General of the United States. These we have accomplished when we were only given half of the money. If we were whole chance and Nerooses stuck target movement is intended to do, we would march on and until we have reached the heights of eminence and the Nerorose shall startle the world and once again find a place in the sun. (Cheers.) His Grace the Chaplain General, Rev. Geo. A. McGuire, was the next speaker. He delivered an intellectual and inspirational discourse on the scriptural text: "He is not here; He is risen." Applying the words of the text to the New Negro, he said: "Once upon a time the Negro had to tomb dead, motionless and unconscious, but like our risen Saviour, the Negro has burst the shackles and has come forth triumph and those who are seeking the former and those who are seeking the latter to them in the angel of the living among the dead? the old Negro is not here, he is risen; look around and see the New Negro. Before Marcus Garvey came upon the scene three or four years ago we Negroes were dead; we were like Lazarus who had been dead so many days and was laying in his sepulchre. For years we have been satisfied with conditions; we followed the words of the great Booker Washington: "Lay down your bucket where you are, and did not look beyond the horison. Our horisons were very narrow indeed; but when there came upon the scene a man whose name has become a name to conjure with in Negroes and forth to Lazarus from his grave and not here, he was former condition and are brought forth into the full light of humanity—the full light of liberty. We Negroes of Liberty Hall—we Negroes of this cradle of Liberty, all are resuscitated Negroes. We have left our grave clothes behind us; we have cast aside the bondage of synophancy and now we have found ourselves." Speaking for himself, Dr. McGurk said that by contact with the Hon. Marcus Garvey he had found himself Though somewhat of a theologian, yi his (the speaker's) vision was narrow though somewhat of a race historian his facts were limited, but by sitting at the feet of his great teacher (meaning Mr. Garvey), as Paul sat at the feet of Gamaley, he had become renamed and his heart began to throb anew. Today he could stand four square to the winds and look any man in the face, whether he be white, yellow, or red, and feel himself a peer and the equal of that man. And because he was no longer Negro but a resurrected Negro, he had taken care of put away the old creed. He had formerly known only the creed of the apostles—the creed of Nloane, the creed of St. Athanasius. His creed now was to believe in God but not the God of the Huna. He believed in God, but not in the God of John Bull or the God of Uncle Sam. He believed in Nimrod's God. The now time has come when our teachers, receiving fresh inspiration, are not going back to the God that Moses taught his people; not to the God that Isaiah revealed to his people, nor do we believe in Mohammed's God; we believe in the God of the Negro, and we believe in Negroship. Mohammed when he came to be a teacher; he gave to give his people a Koran; Moses and he gave to his people Pentateuch; Isaiah and he gave to people propheSES, and every reader, even Jesus Garvey, had to give a gospel Marcus Garvey has given us our weekly testament, and we are not believers in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and of its possibilities if every week we do not read The Negro World, the Testament of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Negro world has been the greatest missionary in building up divisions and making converts to the cause outside of New York city. Mr. Solomon Plantie, of Kimberley, South Africa, was the next speaker introduced. He began his address by alluding to certain dubious remarks which were current in respect to his African nativity. The reason you doubt my African nativity, he said, "is because you have read from your childhood literature concerning South Africa and you are told about swarms of cannibals and gorillas that infect the African forests, and those people who write that trash for your information also written songs—dedicated lyrics of various countries called Dixie; and while you are singing "Down South in Illinois and all that sort of rot, they were scrambling for Africa. They have helped themselves to the gold mines and the diamond mines of South Africa and all the copper mines, so that at the present time they have got everybody in their possession. You may go down here on Fifth avenue or on Broadway or you may go to Chicago or to Washington or you may go to Toronto or Montreal and look into the glittering shop windows of the jewelers right here in America—and what is true of exactly is true of Paris, Berlin, London, Liverpool and all the other foreign cities indeed wherever you see ten diamonds inside jewelery windows, depend upon it nine, the diamonds come from the city of Kirkby where I come from. Those people who warranted for Africa were not content with taking possession of the minerals of the country, but they also took possession of us by making us dig out the gold and diamonds. If any one of our guests is found with a diamond in South Africa, it does not matter if he placed it in the police station and turn it over; does not matter whether he picked it out the store if it is not there; does not matter whether it was yours or another person who you are in good THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1921 Sick People Come to Me with any CHRONIC NERVOUS DISRAGE or COMPLICATED ailments that need the services of a Specialist—Look for help where it should be found—Get started right on the road to Health.

That is the state of africa, and while he was helping himself to the country and to its minerals you ever here were singing yourselves about Dixie—"Way Down South in Dixie." Can you tell me where the dickens is Dixie? Why don't you sing songs about Nigeria or Why don't you sing songs about Nubia and Abysinia and dedicate your lyrics to the rivers of Africa, the countries of Africa and the people that inhabit it. Now what is the bitter price we are paying for allowing the foregirls to exploit Africa to take the bowels of the earth and walk with them? In order to get into thorough possession of the land, not only do they want the minerals but they want the climate too. There are parts of Africa called the white man's grave. Not in South Africa. The climate is so congenial in South Africa that when a white man gets there he cannot get back to America any more; it is too cold in this country; he cannot go to Europe. it is too wet; he cannot go to Australia, it is too hot. He goes all over the globe and gets back to South Africa; and that is why they have made it impossible for men with black skins to own farms in the land of our forefathers. They make it impossible for men to earn more than about 15 cents a day. We start from one dollar a month to something like one dollar a week, and the better paid people get from one quarter to 15 cents a day. Now the idea is that you must never have enough money to educate your children. Perhaps some of them will say, if that is the state of affairs—that you are not to buy farms and you are not allowed to walk on the pavements or ride in railway carriages—how did you manage to talk English. Let me say to you, my friend, there are marvelous exceptions in every case. You never used to ride in jim crow cars; that did not mean there were no jim crow cars in the South. The same thing applies everywhere and as far as South Africa is concerned, even though they suppress us as hard as they can, can never drown our souls. We are only driving for your right hand of fellowship and will demand what is ours. Dr. Robinson was telling us the marvelous achievement that the Negro has made in this country with half a chance. I am going to问你 what the Negro on the other side has done without any chance. The first mark of the African is that he is a fighter and there is no doubt of it. Do you know that in the early stages of the European war it was very easy for the Allies to get around and pick up the German colonies that dropped into their laps like so many apples. It was the same thing in all the Kamerons. How did they manage it? They did not do it themselves. All the Kamerons were we read about in South Africa, these wars are fought by different tribes fighting one another in order to give the country to white people. We German colonies broke out troops of the German colonies rebelled against the Germans opened the gates and allowed the Allies to march. In another why the English were able to get the Kamerons were because the natives of the Kamerons opened the way for the Allies because of the friendly relationship between the Baptist missionaries in the Kamerons and themselves. In German Southwest Africa, where the Germans were ill-treated the Damaras, the natives opened the way for the allies to get into German Southwest Africa. But in East Africa the natives were very well treated by the Germans. They made them soldiers and dressed them in the Kaiser's uniform, and, according to the law of the Germans, when a soldier is coming to the battlefield, he must presentive or color has got to step out of the way. And when these black soldiers were dressed up in the Kaiser's uniform German men, women and children had to step out of the way. So when the war broke out those natives knew what they were fighting for, and all the might of the combined allies could never shake them. They fought up to the end of the war. That was the only remaining colony that Germany never lost until Germany threw the war to the French in the Boer War of South Africa, they fought from the British colonies on the West Coast, they fought the Belgians and the French, and they were never defeated until a wireless came from Berlin to tell them that the Germans PETER M. BURTON in part to do to the careful animation I make up of the blood widened by the anesthetic appliance. After which, I will call the doctor can be cared for. Specialist for 25 Years That's is the African; and if he has been taught to do that sort of thing for other people the time will come when he will do it for himself. (Cheerus.) And I will tell you exactly how he will do it. When I met the Hon. Marcus Garvey in Toronto and he was exhorting those black Canadians, to infiltr to infiltr to the spirit of the U. N. L. A., he told them to get up and prepare themselves to go and die for America. I told them that if only the Negroes were united and there were, not four million groves united, but only ten million groves united, there would be no fighting. (Applause). The white man is not a shoot. As soon as he sees you marching on and coming into the country he will "Let's discuss this matter." (Laughing). Yes, he knows. But he doesn't put these things in the papers left you will know about it, and know that there are no cannibals on the other side, but all fighting men, who are ready to help themselves when the time comes. Don't you know how the English writers always crack up the fighting qualities of the Zulu? You all know the fighting spirit and bravery of the Zulu. The white people will always show you how brave the Zulu were, not outstanding their bravery, not conquered them. But they only toil to it; they was not the who defeated the Zulu, but that they got other tribes to conquer against the Zulu, which is how they defeated. But there is one tribe in South Africa not far from Zulukland, the sutos. They have been attacked by Boers; they have been attacked by Colonial troops and by British troops, and each time they wiped them off the mountains and sent them sprawling, fighting and applaud. And if the white soldiers were to tell you about the fighting qualities of the Bantos they would have admitted that the Basutos defeated their adversaries; but they won't tell you these things, however are coming to when we were surrounded in that little town of Mafeking not a single white man showed his nose outside of the garrison for seven and a half months. There was no wireless training in 1800, at the beginning of the twentieth century; there were no airplanes that had been invented. Only the Negroes of my tribe used to leave every Thursday night, crawl through the Boer lines, get outside and and away dispatches, and then come back again with dispatches from the outside world. If it had not been for them nobody on the outside world would have known what was happening in the garrison and no one in the garrison would have known whether the Boers had got possession of Mafeking or whether they were losing. I would like to mention one episode of the many interesting ones that took place in chinadellin with that saga. When food became very scarce a hundred young fellows need to get out at night and run up a herd of cattle belonging to the Boers, bring them into little town and fight their way back to garrison. Thus the people, for the first time in weeks, would begin to taste fresh, on one occasion the Boers decided that the Negroes were getting too dangerous because when they fight their way in with the cattle they might lose some of the cattle, but they never killed any Negroes and sometimes the Negroes would kill them. So they thought the best way would be, whenever they saw them coming, just to report the matter to the general and then follow up, before they got the cattle, with them, because only a dozen boys would out and get any cattle, surround them, hundreds of men in arms, and kill them, when they were. A party of ten boys out. The Boers saw them coming, and they got about 400 of their number assembled together, all armed to the teeth, and while these boys were lying in the bushes waiting for an opportunity to round up a herd of cattle which they saw in the distance they spied the Boers, and, seeing their number last hour, decided that that was their last hour. The ammunition was just as scarce as food the ammunition was taking must account for at least six Boers before he died, because that they would have no more ammunition left and would have to sit down and be killed. But let me tell you that those Micropeople Handling: in necessity in order to ob- tain the presence of Micro- people. follows were never killed! They unlived the Boers were almost useless to of them, then they moved them down, plucked on their summation and fought them and are summated them at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. (Ap- plause.) And let me assure you that notwithstanding the tremendous efforts I have put forth to try to lift up our people on the other side, I feel sure that the only reason why I have not been shot by countrymen of my own, is that they are not allowed to carry any pistols in South Africa. Now, they will have no unlearn that sort of doctrine of always killing one another for the benefit of a third party; and I am glad that we are instilling that doctrine into them for they are beginning to realise and to feel, that if it had not been for their combination against their own tribes, the white man would never have been able to gain possession of our own people to the extent that he has. But the Negro man is doing his level best, now that the Negro is alive to what is going on, and is a mulatto. What is the use of assuring yourself with a Negro like Phantasyl? Don't you know that you have white blood in your veins, and you are entitled to the benefit of that white blood? I am very sorry that there are some mulattos who are so stupid to listen to that sort of talk, for the very same white man goes back me, and tells me Matie, you are a full-blooded African, in the same manner as I am a full-blooded European. Why do you associate with those mongrel Negroes? And don't you know, there are some who are stupid enough to be taken in by that sort of sophistry. They never put up the mulatto against the native, but they put up the African against the Hindu, the Hindu against the African; they put up the American Negro against the native, and the native against the American. They tell you that the native is a barbarian, and ought to be ashamed to associate with barbarians who are still in slavery, and. And when he leaves the American alone, he will go to the aboriginal natives and say to them: "You must be a fool to trust the coins from America. Your saviours were never slaves. Are you going to be led by the descendants of slaves? That is the way they are keeping up their efforts to separate us. A while back I found it was impossible to organize the natives in South America, unless you can get them to forget the past, to remember that there should be no distinction between any of the tribes; that they should forget their tribal differences, forget that there is a Banuto or a Zulu, and combine and unite their resources, and that they should unite and organize. But you cannot organize a people unless you have got places like this.

It has been placed in my office to such an extent, that at Kindergarten I have directed that at Kindergarten I have made up a set of Liberty paper they get together every Sunday for tenors. I get information from them while I am here, and they are instructed by this group of the backyard of the natives, so that a boy in our town is recognized as a boy by other towns. But they have no bodies; they have no meeting place, and it is my endeavor to try to raise funds during my present trip to raise money to enable me to get back and start another half the same as at Kindergarten, at Bloomfield, and erect building after building, first in one town and then in another. You may say, "Why should we be asked to help you build balloons?" Let me remind you of this that is, that it is very difficult to appreciate the shortcomings and the disabilities of another person, but perhaps you will understand me better if I tell you what they get over there. Now if you want me to be, say, $29 a week, just try to do that. Take $18, and only $19 for a week, and it to the Big Star Line. Try to live in that world for that one week; trust the Big Star Line, though it did not belong to you; straight from your pay office to the office of the Black Star Line and see whether at the end of April you will be able to have a spare penny to contribute towards the building of any school or building whatsoever. That is why I have got to look ahead to get financial assistance to help get the people in such shape that they can have their Liberty ball the same as you here. They have got some fine singer in, in their own country, but they cannot use musical instruments like those we have in our country. They are not obtained there, you can only buy them, but they get the money. That is why Liberty crossed the seas and am here appealing to you for assistance to help organize these people, as that when the time comes, and you feel that you have got to make a rush for a jumping place, you will know that there are people on the other side calling for you.

R. Austin, a Mining Engineer, Gives a Brilliant Description of Liberia. Liberia is that section of country on its west coast of Africa extending from Cape Palma and somewhat farther west than Cape Mount. Along its line of indemnation there are several colonies of Negro people, the majority of the original settlers being the United States and the West Africa. The settlements are Monrovia, the capital of Liberia; Cape Palma, Cape Nauruad, Cape Mount, River Junk, pond Bassin and Sinoon and other ones all along the coast. The distance between them varies from about thirty to 100 miles, and the only means of communication is by crosswise verge. Cape Palma, included under the capital of Liberia, was founded by company of intelligent Negroes from Maryland. This territory spreads over both banks of the Cavalia River and from ocean to the town of Neta, which about thirty miles from the mouth the river, in the immediate vicinity Cape Palma. Within an area of renty miles there is a native population of about 25,000 to 40,000 people. Traveling towards the interior from cape a distance of about 45 to 50 miles, you will find a population of at least 160,000 natives, the majority of them, I am sure, are anxious to enjoy a blessings of education, trade civilization and Christianity. The country about Cape Palma and I along the coast of Liberia is very untulled and fertile, with capes jutting out into the sea at intervals, some a little mile in length, and the high altitude above sea level is approximately 100 to 200 feet. Looking from a beach, the ground rises gradually till the distant heights are crowned tilt a heavy, luminous foliage of pine forest growth and tropical uber. The Republic of Liberia has done athly, grown rapidly, and at present enjoys the blessings of a staple, a tristan government Liberia, in the upper sense of the term, is applied all the settlements along the West east of Africa, that were founded by groves from the United States and West Indies. Going south from currovia, the capital of the republic, e about 100 miles or more inland the entry is inhabited by the "Bassa" ibe and its branches, numbering are more 200,000 souls and speaking a mason language. They are peaceful, uestetic and industrious. After fully plying their own wants they furth a large surplus of rice, oil cattle and other articles of common use for portation. This tribe, like the "Vela," has recorded its language to a written system. New Testament has been translated into the language by missionaries, and the natives have had the apel for many years in their own language. The 'Graybeo' language spoken in out Cape Palmas has been reduced a written form, and tens of thousands of copies of eleven different birds have been printed and distributed. There are about two hundred then ad natives within fifty or seventy miles of Cape Palmas and, as a rule, they desire to avail themselves of education and civilization. The 'Vels' occupies about fifty miles, sea coast extending from the Galicia given one hundred miles north of grovina, and extending south to and Mountain. The territory runs east from the sea coast about thirty ten and they are about thirty thousand strong. Surely this was a grand place to end a great Negro state. Unfortunately at first many white men were more anxious to get the Nep out of the United States then to give him do well when out of it, and many instances some unworthy colony of whom Americans were rid of whom Liberia could not boast. But the laws of the survival of the east carried the rubbish to the bottom which reacted to the benefit of a Liberian populace. The Republic grew and expanded in easy direction: from year to year new and fresh energy were implantin the social and business life of a Republic and its people. So that island, America and all the other nations acknowledge the Republic as a sovereign government, by sending resident ministers there. All eyes are now turned towards this public on the west coast of Africa, a star of hope for the Negro people both oppressed and free in these United States and all other countries the world. The Republic is establishing and ex- lading itself, and its Christian popu- lation is in direct contact with the rives, both pagans and Mohammam- sus, thus the Republic has indirec- tive powerful missionary influence, and moral religious condition is a matter of grave concern to the church since the Protestant Christian Mission in Liberia are essential to the utility and prosperity of the Repub- l and the stability and prosperity of a Republic are necessary for the election and action of the missions, will thus appear that the Christian nation of the people is the legiti- tive work of the missions.

ESTABLISHING A PRECEDENT The Brooklyn Division U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. will give a grand reception and ball at the Academy of Music, Lafayette Avenue and Ashland Place, Wednesday, April 6th, 1921, commencing at 8:30 P.M. use gothic words. The Schabath is best with singular eremitess, and the churches are crowded with attentive and orderly worshippers. The late Edward Winnock Bryden, L. L. D. former president of the College of Liberation, a West Indian, was a scholar of marvellous condition, a writer of rare abilities and a subtle reader, a preacher of charming groom, and one of the fourteen Negroes of the world and was himself, the best argument to the Negro capacity for Christian civilization. He flanks as one of the world's greatest linguists. All men are born equally free and independent, and among their natural inheritance and traktable rights are enjoying and defending their life and liberty from oppression and slavery. Slavery and the slave trade in human beings are perpetually abolished from the Republic of Liberia, the Government passed a law declaring it to be for privacy for any Liberian citizen or person to be engaged or concerned in slave trade. The Republic of Liberia must stand until its light shall have penetrated the gloom of Africa, and until the heatbearers shall gather to the brightness of its shining star. May it stand through the ages as a Christian republic, and a faithful lighthouse along the dark and trackless sea of African barbarian and paganism; until Africa is redeemed from the heels of foreign oppressors and become a shining light and star of hope and a home of refuge for all the suffering children of Ethiopia. JOSEPH R. AUSTIN. 2118 Jefferson ave. Tacoma, Wash. A form of propaganda of Berlin origin has of late reached in this country such a degree of success as to compel Secretary Colby to issue a formal statement that there are no Negro troops in the French Army of Occupation and have been none for some time. In the good old days such a statement would have sent the Herr Professors flying to their encyclopedias and their colorimetrics and callers to determine the precise percentage of pigmentation and angle of prognathousness present in the mainly Semitic "Algerian and Moroccan" troops, whose presence on the Rhine is admitted. In these more forthright days it is easier simply to repeat the exploded falsehood. The truth is that there were at one time a good many Negro troops on the Rhine, or marching that way as fast as possible. The Herr Professors and their aids berebentons conveniently forget that thousands of them were American citizens marching under the Stars and Stripes. Hon. Marcus Garvey Addresses Neuvitas Division Continued from page 1. Provisional President of Africa. Here, in this quiet corner of the globe, where quietude is but another name for misconception, where spirit, valor and faith were buried through lack of stimulation, we find ourselves once more awakened by a man who is worthy of praise. He is intelligent and the pleasure of attentive listening to his sentiments and an outline of the grand mission he has undertaken. Rapidly the minutes were transformed into bours and the hours into days and it seemed to us that nights were shorter than ever before. It seemed to us that his vocabulary could not be exhausted in defining to us the cause that brought him on our shows, the cause for which we were fighting and the cause for which we should continue to fight. It was of necessity, he said, that we once for all realize our position and demand of the white world what it owes us. It is of necessity that we liberate Africa, our motherland. It is a land full of golden opportunities and prosperity, which no other land can beset of and in order to realise this we must work together, reason together and with our united efforts, "Africa will be for the Africans." The ball has rung, the hour has come when we must risk our fortune, love, and last, but not least, our lives. We have given the white world to understand that we were a subservient race. We have galed pothole by this; therefore, it is time for us to summon our courage. For what? For the liberty of Africa! "Honor to thee, then grand man of the twentieth century. Praise be thine, always." (Signed) CHAS J. SCARBOROUGH. Neuvich, Cube. THE NEGRO WORLD; SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1921 An Epoch-Making Event Coaltimed from page 1. the ordination marmor and presented the candidate. The Rev. Mr. Smithwick said the Litany. His Grace was the Celebrant of the Holy Eucharist. His Excellency, Rev. Mr. Tobit, left next day by sleamer for his sale in the West Darien and bears in addition to his commission from the High Executive Council an appointment from His Grace as General Missionary for religions awakening among our people to the islands who desire to have their own religious teachers. Mr. Tobit will recommend to His Grace suitable persons on the field who are able to undertake laymen's duties, or who may desire to prepare for Holy Orders. The Most Rev. George A. McGoune came from the Diocese of Antigua, B. W. L. in 1919, with letters teemonial. After a brief service with one of the white Episcopal churches he became convinced that, as a disciple and convert of Garveyism, he could not longer be under the ecclesiastical government of white blanps and other clergy. He became the organizer of a new Episcopal church for his race, and believed that God called him, even as Moses and Pati were called. This religious body is known as the Independent Episcopal Church. In Greater New York there are at present three congregations, the Good Shepherd, New York, under Dr. McGoune, and several theological students who assist him: St. Savior's Brooklyn, under Dr. J. N. Bridgman, and St. Paufa, under the Rev. Walter Smithwick. Last August Dr. McGuire, who in years past had been an archdeacon, received the greatest honor of his career when he was elected Chaplaim General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and titular Archishop of Ethiopia, sworn to be the spiritual guide and moral advisor of the four millions of members of the association, in all parts of the world. The organization furnished him recently with his episcopal robes, which were used for the first time at Mr. Tobit's advancement to the priesthood. Called to God, elected by Negro Deputies from all over the world, and approved by the ministers of the Independent Episcopal Church of Ethiopia, archishop McGuire feels himself fully equipped and authorized for the large work entrusted to his care and supervision, and hopes to prove himself truly an Episcopus, or evenest, of the Church for which Negroes everywhere are looking. When Dr. McGuire set the Church of England in 1913, he left behind him the fragile theory and doctrine of "Apostolic Succession." He believes in the validity of non-episcopal ordinations: he believes that the time has come for church unity with Negroes; he believes that unity does not necessarily mean uniformity in worship, and that the coming African or Ethiopian Church will be big enough for all Negroes to enter, retaining their own worship as Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians, etc. All over North, Central and South America and the West Indies ministers, catechists and lay-readers are at work under His Grace. We are not concerned about white Episcopallans, or Negroes still in the Anglican Church. But we are concerned about Ethiopians and the Ethiopian Church. Ethiopia is stretching out her hands to God. Princes shall come out of the land of our fathers. The Roman Catholics speak of their Cardinals as Princes of their Church. The Negroes of the world in convention assembled made the Most Rev. Dr. G. A. McGuire the first Prince of the Church Ethiopia. We understand that planes are under way for his enthrancement at the coming convention in August next. The Negro World and its readers pray long life and successful leadership for His Grace. HEALTH SECRETS FOR MEN AND WOMEN Keep the system clean.

Smith's article in the World's Work for March in which he has paid me the doubtful compliment of being the "only nationally known character in the Carvey Movement." This is of course, news to me, and I have a right to doubt its accuracy, and to suspect the motive which impelled the Bishop to make the statement. I haven't seen Bishop Smith in more than thirty years. At that time he was a Democrat and a receptive candidate for the position of Minister to Liberia. Cleveland was then President. I met Dr. Smith by appointment and at his request in the parlors of Perry Carson's Hotel in Washington, D. C. He wanted some publicity in my newspaper, the "Washington-Grit," which he didn't get. I have never claimed, and I have never aspired, to be a national character. I have always preferred to be a Gad fly and free lance, journalistically. I have helped to give prominence to a lot of these "national characters" through the one hundred or more newspapers and magazines with which I have been identified within the past forty years as editor and correspondent. I do not know of a single one or these "nationally known characters" who has done anything for the race worth remembering, or who has aided the race to do anything for itself by showing it how. Bishop Smith and other churchmen seem-quit content to wear black silk gowns and draw big salaries from our washerwomen and the leboring chasas generally, and have permitted them to remain in almost the same rut in which slavery left them. These silk-gowned and bespectacled gentlemen of the cloth have not originated anything practical or useful or helpful to the race. But they discover wonderful energy and seal for the cause of Christ, in the conference season, and some of them make tiny sums selling appointments (41 is said) to ambitious clergymen who want churches that pay good salaries in leading cities. Some of these Bishops, like Dr. Smith, combine their religion with their policies and are thus enabled to live quite independently and aloof from the submerged tenth—the common herd. Marcus Garvey is not disturbed over Bishop Smith's opinion concerning the organization of which he is. he is the head—the moving spirit—and I don't mind telling the Bishop, soo vote, that his fattering allusion to myself does a great injustice to other gentlemen who are more intimately associated with Mr. Garvey than myself. I am only a contributing editor of The Negro World. There are two ways of interpreting the Bishop's reference to myself, and I prefer to believe that he is honest and sincere in what he has said of me, because I do not not desire to indulge the thought or suspicion that a Christian Bishop is capable of juggling with the truth, by saying the thing that is not. But if he is indulging in surcasm at my expense I promise to hand him a Roland for his Oliver. The question, the before, is was Bishop Smith joking or just funning, when he singled me out as the biggest item in the Black Star Line outfit, when, as a matter of fact, I am only a small stockholder, standing loyalty by my leader and fighting the insidious enemies of the organization who like to go to white newspapers and magazines to deposit the bile they have in their systems and on their chests. An Irishman on passing a priest's house one day cried in the ash can two or three empty wine bottles. Picking up one of them he examined it closely to see if there was a "wee chrop av th' craytur left. While he was thus engaged the priest spied him and called out, "Pat, there's no use looking at them: they're all dead once." "Well," said Pat, "they had the brittle av the clergy in *th* hour av death." Prime Minister, Doctor of Law and Genius extraordinary has affected a trade with the Russian Soviet, and Mr. Andrew Bonar Law has resigned from his leadership of the House of Commons, and also from his position as Lord of the Privy Seal in the Cabinet, giving as his reasons therefor ill health. The Labor party in Great Britain just now is becoming pretty active and very menacing to the peace of mind of Mr. David Lloyd George. Prime Minister and satiude diplomat, Mr. Bonar Law is not as acceptable to the laboring classes as would be some other man, preferably one in full sympathy with them. Hence, his resignation. Mr. David Lloyd Georges next move on the chess board will be the selection of a successor to A. Bonar Law, and care will be taken to select a man who will be fully is accord with the aims of the laboring classes. David Lloyd George can be matched, but he cannot be beaten in the game of diplomacy. Mr. A. Bonar Law will recover his health soon after he leaves office. One of the pipe dreams of a certain type of Negro hare and abroad is that their group is going to beat the combination formed more than a century ago in this country and the West Indies to keep the Negro and the colored man in their places; viz.: to hold him to the condition of a "stranger and adjourner" despite the fact that he is compelled to function as a citizen in time of war, and to submit to taxation without adequate representation in times of peace. No Negro or colored man here or in the West Indies has ever yet enjoyed, unrestrainedly, the full rights of citizen or subject, nor has he in this country been encouraged to accept and believe the notion which hinds currency during political campaigns, or when danger threatens the nation that he can ever become the same kind or a citizen as a white man—and "there's a reason." Every one will be your friend, when you have wherewith to spend. Hinta to Writers. The late Dr. Robert Hall, when asked how many sermons a presacher could prepare in a week, he answered: "If he is a man of pro-eminent ability, one; if he is a man of ordinary ability, two; if he is an anse, six." Creech says: "Wouldst, thou compose some lasting peace, be wise, amend, current again, again review." Pope advises authors to learn "the art to blot." Milton, Pope, Burns, Thomson, Homer, Carlyle, Darwin were the great and careful reviewers of their own writings. Gibbon wrote his memoirs nine times over before they were published. Goldsmith considered four lines a day very good, and it took him agen years to produce the Deserted Village, but the result is that it remains a beautiful classic forever. Nesey Jane. There are Nosey James in all cities, towns, villages and hamlets. Like the buzzard, they fatten on things putrid and offensive to the olfactory organs. The more offensive the odor the batter they like it, and the longer they stray in the neighborhood where it exists. You've all met Nosey James somewhere, sometimes. She belongs to most of it, not all, the social clubs in her neighborhood and is a regular attendant at all funerals, weddings and births in her vicinity. She is too conscientious to join the church, because as she awaits, she knows too much about the ministers. She remembers when Dr. Gayley ran off with the leading soprano; of the Kitar after batting, up his wife and driving his married daughter from home; and Rev. Swift ran off with $8,000 after the rally, which had lasted ten weeks and took Sophronia Gobles, the prettiest yellow girl in the church, with him, and hasn't been heard from since; that was eight years ago. She knows all about or thinks she does, the troubles of Lawyer Graham with the Hightowers, who bought, or thought they did, the biggest and prettiest house in town, and why they had to lie in the room when they found out that Graham had tricked them by not paying the money then entrusted to him to close the matter with the original ewow.

BOX 10 MARK IVA Are You Satisfied with BIG DEMAND FOR DENT MARK IVA THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1921 HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOUR SHARES IN THE BLACK STAR LINE? Establishment of a Bureau of Negro Work with a Negro executive secretary, who will have complete charge of all interests and activities of Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has been effected by the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of that denomination, according to information reaching here today. The Reverend Mr W A C Hughes, D.D., formerly area secretary of New Orleans has been elected to head the bureau. He will have supervision over all the Negro conferences of the church and interpret the peculiar problems and needs of his people to the board. This bureau will have equal standing in the organization with the Bureau of City Work the Bureau of Rural Work the Bureau of Foreign-Speaking Work and other bureaus of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension TOMBERTON This innovation in Methodist organization is a part of the general program of the church to train and provide opportunities for Negroes to lead their own people in all matters of religious activities and prepare others for leadership in other activities of the race group. Secretary Hughes received many votes at the Methodist General Conference at Des Moines, Iowa. May last, when two Negro bishops were elected to full rank in the Methodist Episcopal Church. The importance of his present position may be understood when it is pointed out that during 1920 the program for Negro activities of the Methodist Board of Home Mission and Church Extension involved the expenditure of $124,587 on 123 building projects in the South and $56,640 for maintenance in assisting 500 preachers and social workers, and in the North $98,723 was spent on 26 building projects and $47,875 in assisting workers. The total expenditures aggregated $555,915. In the rural program three summer schools of rural methods for Negro pastors, with an attendance of 300 ministers, were held. Agriculture was taught as a means of promoting more scientific farming among the Negroes of rural communities. Do you realize that this is the only Negro Corporation owning, controlling and operating steamships in the whole world? THE BLACK STAR LINE, Inc. Is capitalized at $10,000,000 under the Laws of the State of Delaware and is backed in its operations by the full strength of its organization with millions of Negro men and women in all parts of the world. Dr. Hughes is a native of Maryland whose father and grandfather were ministers, and was educated at Morgan College and Taylor University. He has been a prominent pastor in the Washington Conference, serving as district superintendent of that district and as field secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension. He has been twice elected to sit as a member of the quadrennial general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His program for his new place includes all manner of aid for the Negro race gained from his study of its problems for many years.

STOCK IN THE BLACK STAR LINE $5.00 PER SUN 5-10 SHARES UNIA "The Negro race is largely a rural population," said Dr. Hughes, "and it is gratifying to observe that the race is rapidly rising from farm tenancy to ownership in the South. In 233 counties, one-third of the Southern States, Negroes are in the majority. To us it is very apparent that the Negro must in a very large work out his salvation in rural regions. This has its advantages because home-owning, home-loving, home-defending instincts, thrift and industry are bred in people who own land and enjoy the freedom of the farm. Civilization was begun in the country. The church must put in motion a working program for these people and preach that there is virtue in swaiting the fly, in showing people how to prevent diseases; that teaching the people better methods of farming, of home building, is more Christ-like than merely directing the Sabbath service that aims to do little more than arouse the emotions of congregations. The preacher who has a program that seeks to lift rural women from drudgery, provide proper entertainment and play for our youth, making the church a community center of force and power, is linked up to a holy adventure worthy of the sons of God."

CHEEKS, PROMINENT EDITOR, PASSES AWAY He Had Served as Professor of Greek in Houston College, and Was Treasurer of Raleigh U. N. I. A. ALEIGH, N. C., March 31—Prof. L. M. Cheeks, editor Raleigh Independent and treasurer of the Raleigh division, U. N. I. L. a. died Sunday, March 20, 8:30 p. m., at St. Agnes Hospital. Mr. H. B. Debnam, our vice-president, brought the sad news to Liberty Hall in the midst of our meeting. Professor Cheeks was educated at Shaw University. After graduation he spent several years as professor of Greek in Houston College, Houston, Texas. In 1916 he came to Raleigh and established the Oregon Printing Company out of this grow the Raleigh Independent He was a young man of sterling qualification, and had won the respect and admiration of those with whom he came in contact, and was one of the first to meet Dr. Brooks when he came to Raleigh in January. His paper supported the 'K N I A.', and wrote several editorials on the Garvey movement, and was always ready to do anything for the uplift of his race. CHARLES G. ENVINES. Cyclating Manager, Independent. From the Holy Bible we learn that Moses took unto himself to wife a stable woman, which caused as much adverse comment then as it would today, but the comment was due to the fact that she was identified with the race which once held the Hebrews in bondage and not because she was black. She must have been "superficious as rubies." Tradition has handed down to history untold volumes of praise for the African Woman. Tether is due solely the fact that the death rate is lower than the birth rate, and the splendid physique of African women and men. The enormous work done and carried on by woman in Africa is in itself a wonderful story. It would seem reasonable that in the fatherland the death records should be above the birth, but an inquiry into the subject will clearly demonstrate that the success of women in the later cace is due to the secret Porch Society, which has existed from time immemorial in many sections of the country. Here the secret of longevity and health is taught young woman, the care of children and the duties of maternity, the prevention of those lills that affect the human race. When the base of an adfice is well placed the safety of superstructure need not worry its treatment, with childhood, when we need to care of the young ones they may actually grow to manhood and womanhood safe and sane. To these societies we societies the稳 stability of the African Woman. Kid, in his book "Disages Childhood"—sarah—the children of the Karmu, however, have all the good features and cheerfulness of the adults without the pleasant qual. es, consequently every white man has a good word to say for them. The children seem to be born good natural and cheerful. It is surprising how little they cry, how easily they are quilted, and how much of this life they spend in laughing * * * It is a pleasure to see any human being so spontaneous, so cheerful and so contented." Today many European nations have taken by force 100,000 miles of land from Africa without the leastsemblance of color or right. The French nation in Africa is to preserve African society, the particular character of primitive tribes with their several religions and their traditions of life. The English is to immediately suppress the pastoral habits and customs and in their stead compel the Africans to adopt their mode of life and their civilization, an English Constitution with its system of elaborates and compels a law which neither modifies nor abolishes, but destroys by divorce and force. We can look back at Africa with how many Queens who have reigned in power and love such as the Queen of Nigeria, who paid homage to Solomon, Queen Candace and the famous king who died in 1632. Named king of Tahaka, the most famous of Bali Kings, and who received honors that even sound to those to Tahaka himself.

Smita finger. Smita finger. die out like the Indians. But this will not happen so easily. Now again we have the Africa, woman who brought with her the games of the spectra of the African societies to be met in Africa, unlike different pamen but also in practice, and put them in operation in the new world, as they were taught her, in the motherland, and it continues to be handed down by mother love and instinct, to the younger mansland. In America, where Negroes are clothed with the veneer of Yankee civilization, the younger persons have lost the maternal and paternal contact, and therefore are unconscious of the basic fact that their real mother is the great Africa and not the place of incident birth. In the islands of the seas and South America can still be seen Negro women nursing and crouching the babes, and it must be admitted that for the lack of present scientific knowledge there was less deformity and backwardness in children than can be seen today in this country. The late eminent philosopher, Dr. Bryden, in a letter to John E. Bruce, Eag, thoughtfully stated that in the Southlands since the Negro mammals had been supplanted there have been no men outside Madison, Munro, Calhoun and Robert Lee who had attained the distinction of the greatness of them. The best nurses for generations have been members of our race, possessing every measure of fidelity, kindness and charity. In the tropics where the beauty of nature is in its greatest splendour, the Negro man lives with its marvous climate and perennial vegetation, down the Southern States where the magnolia and the plains perfume the summer nightly balmy air, none have excused these black nurses in the moments of joy or death. Prof. Blumenbach while traveling in Switzerland met a Negro woman from Haiti who he claims was the most able and skilled practitioner in the country in the art of accoumption. In the island of St. Croix. D. W. I. Louise Joseph was sent to the University of Copenhagen, where she graduated in 1860 as a midwife and after serving more than 50 years in the King's service was pensioned, and at her death as a mark of respect her body was ascerted by the military and taps sounded over her grave. The historian Ulice, speaking of the kindness many poor Europeans in Cartega, South America, received at the hospital, said: "I am sure that the charity of the people of color becomes conspicuous. The Negro and mulatto free women, moved by the deplorable condition of their poor neighbors, carry them to their houses and nurse them with the greatest care and affection. If any one die they burry him by alms they procure, and even cause masses to be said for his soul." The author Raisfeldt white a prisoner in Hayti speaks of the fidelity of a Haytan woman who saved him from punishment and, unknown to him, did him many kindnesses. Captain Stedman, the historian of Surinam, in 1764 wrote that he worked able work pays a tribute to the woman who nursed him and saved his life. In the South the influence of the black mammies has been observed in the willingness of Southern white women to dedicate a monument to her spirit of loyalty, mother's love and tenderness as a woman, as a mother and a beggar for her children's comfort.

NEGRO PLANS FOR That the Universal Negro Improvement Association with its plans for a huge Black Republic in Africa is making splendid progress, despite the attempt of fakie to profit at the association's expense, was the assertion here Friday of J. R. Austin, 2318 Jefferson avenue, organizer of the Tacoma branch of the association. The association has 708 branches in the world, with 4,000,000 members, Austin said. On April 2, its allied corporation, the Black Star Steamship Company, expects to purchase a new $1,000,000 steamship and start it on its first trip to Monrovia. "The Garvey movement, so named after its founder, goes the economic freedom and uplift of the Negro race," said Austin, who organized the "Tacoma Steamship" to the U. N. I. A., March 6, of this year. "Recently an attack was made upon Garvey as founder of the organization—one of many attacks—because a fake stock carrier had illegally sold shares in the Black Star Line and kindred corporations in Virginia. The association itself had branded the arrested man, J. M. George, as an imposter traveling under many aliases, even before the authorities arrested him. The same is true of Grow Reading, condemned for murder in Chicago, and who undertook to sell fake stock under the guise of an authorized agent of the association. In spite of these incidents, however, the movement is making splendid headway."—Tacoma Washington Times.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 With The Contributing Editor HURFY T. HARRISON UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION As Also All Colored Churches, Lodges, Organizations, Clubs and Fraternities Are Requested to Prepare at Once to Send Dapaties and Delegates to the 2D INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION The World's Famous Indian Herb Medicine—Have Found the Hidden Treasure THE NEW CONSCIENCE Until the balticizing of the war which has just ended the private right to hold, dispose of, and to fix a valuation upon one's possessor's was held to be sacred, and as a rule, malicious. The grave necessities of the war compelled governments to revise this world-old notion. Consistent and sincere adherence to the dictates of the new conscience therein involved would be a boon, a glorious monument to the heroes who sacrificed their lives to make the world a better place to live in. Too long has the antiquated system been in vogue, which had its inception in primitive days. Growth of population has made specialization necessary, a minute division of labor in the production of those things constituting life's necessities. This change from independent units, as when a family produced the whole of its necessities itself—food, shelter and nourishment—to our present state of absolute interdependence, should logically have been followed by a changed attitude towards the individual's responsibility to his fallows. Failure to make this change is what has made profiteering, with its grinding, crushing, insatiate greed possible. It is the proflo, hydra-headed begetter of wars with their ruthless destruction of the flower of the manhood of nations. The way—the only way—to end war is to take the profit out of it. That will not be until we recognise our true relation towards one another. As before stated, we have become specialists. One man assumes the responsibility of furnishing a certain necessity, another furnishes another. This system of apportionment involves a mutual dependence upon, an obligation towards, one another. If one man engages to furnish food or shelter, and another to furnish clothes, each becomes dependent on the other for the supply of the things assigned to that other. We use the monopoly thus endured to furnish food and shelter, should be classed as a criminal act, and be adequately punishable as such, under the ruling of the new world conscience. Under the stress of *c* war government has taken the initiation in this direction, but half-apologetically, as a limited measure; and the result has been a limited good. Both principle and practice should be permanent, that this war may be credited, with all its horrors, with having wrought the most beneficial reform known to history. That the masses are awakening to the clarkian call of the new conscience, as well as: the government, is offended by the movement which has grown out of the housing situation, bearing the title "The Tweens' Protective Association." It is a fight for human rights against consciousness human shark, and others who are simply morally weak and fear to be left behind in the wealth getting scramble, feel that somebody else ought to pay for their high cost of living. To such base use the law has been made to descend in this case. Back of the law are the tawmakers, politician. It is a fact that hat in hand methods accomplish little in dealing with the average politician. Rights are not secured by asking for them, but by demanding them, and putting back of that demand the power to enforce it. When a politician know, or is, and is demanding that he must accede to a demand, or is, and is demanding that he acts promptly. When he beats that enough votes will be got together at the next election to defeat him if he doesn't, in acts. So back, the urge: "We want it when we want it, and that's now," will bring it by motor, and not by the slow dump cart. The profiter pure and simple is an enemy to his fellow man, a menace to peace, orderly government and the State. But there are others who are caught in the swirl of this befouled stream because of a misconception. They see the cost of everything going up and think that they ought to raise the rent or selling price of properties, whereas the true, determining factor should be the sum invested. A man puts, say, two thousand dollars into a property. No matter whether the price is high or low, the most important consideration is the fact that he has an investment of two thousand dollars, upon which he should receive a fair rate of interest, as determined by law, or custom affecting that class of property, and any board of adjusters which shall attempt to reach an equitable decision in such matters must be guided by that criterion. The landlord under consideration may be helped to see the error of his assumption if he will assume that he has converted his investment into the original cash sum. If he has not, he will have to THAT SUM IN ANY MARKET BECAUSE THE COST OF THINGS HAS GONE HIGHER? Even in real estate, would it purchase more? If not, then there is no legitimate reason why he should demand that a tenant give him more for his two thousand dollars now than formerly. There are legitimate reasons for ad- vice, depending upon growth and development of communities, but they are not all runaway. CHAPLAIN-GENERAL'S DEPT.

BY NEORD BUTLER Chicago, March 23 — What Paul Lawrence Dunbar contributed to American poetry and illumination to music, another Negro has given to photographical art. King D.

He had six competitors to beat, most of them professionals. **TOMMY LAMBERT**—Born in New York, he attended elementary school and college, and later lived in New York and Boston, playing or practicing in the town on the beach.

There is a first and last to everything. A number of timid persons have become frightened over the idea that this age is termed "the Negro's last opportunity"; but since there is a first and last to everything but the eternal, this statement and this fact should cause no deep anxiety nor fearing of uneasiness. Truth, however hard, must be told if one is really III and there is no hope of being saved. If you prepare himself the things of this world and for the things of the next world if the truth is told him, truth at such a time simply gives opportunity for preparation. Negroes should not become alarmed because they are informed that this is their last opportunity; it is simply a large opportunity given them to prepare themselves and their children. In all things they should be alerted to the ending; why should the timid, the craven and the half-hearted become alarmed when the trumpet-like voice sounds the significant warning. "This is your last opportunity." In everyday life some one is continually informing us of last opportunities; from the highest to the lowest we have the significant warning, last call, last opportunity. This is the last opportunity of the Negroes of the entire world to take their rightful place in God's scheme of nations. This statement Ketra the entire Negro race. The world is readmitting itself, new conditions are arising and each race and nation in the settlement of affairs is finding a rightful place. New boundary these are being established, old geographical areas being open, and an entirely new man of the nation is being formed. The League of Nations seeks to set the bounds of nations and claims that it means to defend the weaker against the stronger. When this league begins to function we shall see how much truth there is in this statement. Black and the white the yellow having but little way to do with the oppressor and acted engagement in the war. In this war it was clearly apparent that the black and the white races were to be bracer the forces to rule the war. The white race saw their opportunity and quickly ousted it by uniting all white forces everywhere; Carvay was able to ask to and as asked to ester; he thrown on the course of the United States and administration that in the West Indies the white man was unfitly asking to sterve out the black man and that in the United States of America proper, the state of lynching, infiltration and injustice before courts of law prevailed to annihilate the Negro, and that in Africa the so acts to guide by persuasion and trickery, by physical force, by treachery to drive into the interior and finally annihilate the Negroes of Africa, thus taking to himself the North American slave, as he subjugated and practically annihilated the Indians in North America, so he means to subjugate and in the last analysis, unite the Africans to America. Such is his program. This Gavrys saw. He hastened to throw the light of liberty on his brethren. Some saw got the vision; militants are being around now to his viewpoint, to the truthfulness of his statement that this is the Negro last opportunity. The Negro must measure up to this opportunity now or its children's children will curse his memory. While each nation is rightfully claiming what belongs to them, the Negro everywhere must under one common leadership stand on the land. Africa. While the world is being parcelled out into portions among the races of the world we must have cura Africa is a goodly land and a rich land in its mineral resources, fertile in its soil, large in its opportunities for racial developments. The Negro leaders of the world who hear the call must hasten to gather themselves together to follow under one leadership until Africa is redeemed. Garvey has the vision; he is the formest figure among Negroes today, and as he makes this call let us follow; to fail to sell this opportunity is to prove ourselves unwilling to compromise. Comes the Grecian stance to us now of liberty; let us enise it as it passes by; once gone, it is forever gone. Patrick Henry seized the opportunity to declare for freedom or death at a psychological moment; England and France in the last world's war, with their backs to the wall, called to America, asking: "This is our last opportunity to make the world safe for democracy." And Garvey, with his face toward the ring sun is crying out to Negroes of the world "This is your last opportunity to make the world safe for men now the opportunity to become a nation, a world's power, a race not to be demised, a race will be lost. This is your last opportunity." Will you hear the call and prove worthy of the age in which you live? JAMES D. BROOKS Secretary-General PRESS CLOSES AT NATIONAL CAPITAL National Negro Press Association Service. Washington, D. C., March 9.—(National Negro Press Association Service.)—After a three day strenuous session the quill pushers, managers and reporters making up the National Negro Press Association, closed their annual convention in this city at 10:30 Friday night. February 4. It was the twentieth coming together of the members of thought and sentiment. The sessions were held in the Dunbar High School and courtcases were extended by the principal of what is regarded as the largest and most modernly equipped high school in the United States. A mass of business was attended to during the week. The meeting was significant because of the large number of lady delegates in attendance. It was thought that the meeting at Nashville, Tenn., several years ago, was the high water mark, but a dozen members of the fair sex took advantage of the inauguration to attend these meetings. The sessions were provided over by Mr. J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle, asking the organization, owing to the absence of a representative, Mr. C. J. Perry, who is confined to a hospital in Philadelphia. While the membership of the organization numbers over one hundred twenty, the full membership was not present; the corresponding secretary's report shows that sixty-eight publications answered present to the roll call.

B. K. Whitney. 3-The appointment of standing committees upon whose shoulders will devolve the enormous task of shaping the policy of the prize to conform to as well as function in the sphere that it is destined to fill. Among the most important committees was the one to issue the address to the country, whose document is to appear in the leading journals throughout the United States. The association went on record as favoring an increased profession among the members of the race. A resolution introduced by Dr. J. A. Lester of the Mahary News, Nashville, Tenn., was unanimously adopted, reads: "Resolved, That the National Negro Press Association realizes the lack of professional men to care for the health of fifteen millions of people, therefore, we the members of the National Negro Press Association, pledge course men to encourage suitable young men to enter the profession, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy." The association also authorized for a clean bill of health throughout the race. The consensus of opinion of the organization, "As it is evident that the jim cars as a rule are very dirty and unanxious, thus making them dangerous germ breeders and carriers. In our judgment it is vastly important that our physicians who have patients suffering from contagious diseases should furnish the public with information as to their investigation of the case under their care and; the probable source of contagion or infection." There was a high sounding note throughout the sessions of the convention of the amount of work done. Much legislation was offered by the female delegates. Prominent among those on the floor from time to time were Miss Alice Clay of St. Louis. Miss Maia Annie Mae Smith of Chicago III, Mrs C. R. McDowell of Hammel, Mo. Mrs Georgia A. Smith and Mrs Mary L. Ayres of Savannah. Ga. representing the Savannah Tribune. Many dignitaries were introduced to the conference of Dallas, Texas, thrilled the convention with an inspiring address, as did Mr A. E. Malone of St. Louis. Miss Annie Mae Smith of Chicago III, Col. Harry Lineback Johnson of Atlanta, Ga., Prof. Garrett C. Willing, principal of Dunbar High School of Washington, D. C. The report of the treasurer, B. J. Davis, of Atlanta, Ga., received great commendation, as it was the second time in the history, of the organization that a balance was brought forward on the credit side of the ladder. This was followed by a report of the secretary of the advertising committee. J. R. B. Waltney, who, elicited much commendation to the manner in which he showed the work being done through his office to enhance the financial resources of the papers. He showed a number of large contracts already under way with space buyers. The reports of the officers consumed the better part of an entire session. Much regret was expressed at the absence due to illness of President C. J. Perry, and Dr. J. A. Hamlett, who was detained on account of pressing administrative duties northwestern. Many social functions were given during the week by the Washingtonian. The local committee was in charge of J. Finley Wilson. The first public affair was Wednesday night, March 2, at the Mu-So-Lit Club, at which the following program was scheduled: Welcome Address by J. C. Ghestnut, president of the club, followed by remarks On Baffel of the 'Bar, by Judge R. H. Terrell, On Baffel of the Press, by Ormonei Scott; On Baffel of the Public Theater; On Baffel of the Public Schools, by C. Wilkinson. But the real treat of the evening was the welcome address by Jno. H. Paynter, the author and writer of the District of Columbia whose books, "Join the Navy," and "A Fugitive of the Pearl" have stirred Washington. The press was represented in response by Jno. L. Jones of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Henry A. Boyd of Nashville, Numerous visitors spoke. Mr. Chas.

THE NEED OF LEGAL PREPARATION In the adjustment of international affairs at the Rague, Vibrissae, or any other tribunal, three men and women, who have made a study of international law make a very important part. It seems necessary to sound a note of warning to the Native lawyer so as to set him preparing for the task of the future. This warning is intended only for those who are associated with this greatest of movements, the U. N. I. A. and its subjugated armies. It is important that all the task of construcing compacts, treaties, manifestoes and other important documents which must be written, discussed and adopted for the government of the state which I trust the great God will some day bring the body, save the mind. Then more, and more, more profiled the length of the movement the most sensitive, responsive, and it behalves them or presents to the point of occu- pation, and the right quiet. No one can listen to or read the speeches of the Rembrandt Marion Garver without seeing in each with the large videos of the pain. And the most significant thing about it all is the kill- ories of the age rebeling itself. When we think of 1793 in America, and when we think of 1793 in France, and the French Revolution, the Protestant Reformation, Melanism and the Hidra- and other landmarks in history, we are convinced that another speak- about be added to the history of the world, and this will be done because the demands of this great movement. I am stepping the thorough legal preparation of your law members because even after a bloody war, diplomacy is employed. It seems, then, if it could be possible to effect the national independence or international independence, as you must do, your diploma a greater face will have been accomplished, than it this week; after great loss of life and unintended suffering. I do not wish to be undermined as being too proud to fight, however. Once this great country belonged to the red Indian, but through treaties and other diplomatic agreements it has become the white man's country. "A treaty is construed by Chief Justice Marshall to be also the law of the land. I believe that eventually we shall be ruled by law and not by force, as is largely the case at present; I believe also that those who are training in the law for the larger service they will render to this race and people should receive every encouragement. I believe the U. N. I. A. and A. C. I will look in the future for guidance and will have the same abundantly from these man of the class I have mentioned; and will also have their unraring judgment and advice gather from long, painstaking and conscientious study for the good of the black race. Let us therefore start at once for we know not how soon we shall be called upon to sit in a congress of treaty-making body to look into the rights of the Negro and adjust them once and for all.
