MARCU THEATRE Multitude of People Listen to H Night at Monster Mass Mea Jamaica Division of the U. maica's Leading Paper, Giv vey's Wonderful Address—T in His Home. A monster mass meeting was held in the Ward' Theatre on Wednesday night under the aunts of the Jamaica Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League at which Mr. Marcus Garvey, president general of the association, was the speaker. The building was packed from pit to dome with an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Garvey was cheered to an echo as he stepped on the platform. He delivered an creation, tasting over one hour, dealing with the aims and objects of the association. His striking eloquence riveted the attention of his hearers. The vast multitude caught his enthusiasm, and as he spoke 'the ceiling echoed and re-echoed with the thunder of their applause. Towards the end of his speech, Mr. Garvey applied the well known prank of the platform speaker. I think I have kept you long enough for tonight,' he said, and the crowd roared for him to continue. The meeting opened with the hymn, 'From Greenland's Ice Mountains' after which a beautiful program of musical and vocal entertainment was presented by the U. N. L. J. choral and a special orchestra. The performers who took part were Mozza, George McGormack, Grantille Campbell, R. B. Evans, Prof. C. L. Barnes, Mrs. McGormack and Mitsa Brown. The audience showed how well they enjoyed the program by their flattering careers and repeated accolades. Mr. A. Bain Alves first addressed the gathering. He began by quoting Shakespeare's famous lines: "To thine ownself be true. And it must follow as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. He paid a warm girl gifted tribute to Mr. Garvey, whom he styled "the Illustrated Jamaican" the great Negro Emancipator." They could not look upon Mr. Garvey, he said, as an ordinary man they must look upon him as a superman. Mr. Garvey was called by God to the great task of lifting his race, and this he was a helping. They must support him and help the movement to success. Marcus Garvey Speaks. Mr. Sarve) then spoke. He said it was judged a great pleasure to find himself there that night. He had come from the United States of America on a tour of the West Indies and Central America for the purpose of speaking to them in the interest of the great movement he represented. (Cheers.) The Universal Negro Improvement Association was a world movement of Negroes. They were endeavoring through this association to draw into one united whole the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world for the purpose of establishing on the continent of Africa a domination of Negroes. (Cheers.) They believed the time had come in the history of the Negro people of the world like in the history of the white race and the yellow race, for the Negro to pave a way and to blast a way to Negro independence. (Applause.) The U. N. I. A. believed if it was right for the white man to dominate in Europe, and the yellow man to dominate in Asia, it was right for the black man to dominate in Africa. Nations had sprung up out of Europe and and the time had come for patrons to spring up out of Africa. The U. N. I. A. had no apology to make nations or races, the one desire was to blast a way for Dear Readers—You a regularly each week and put it regularly each week United States you have got circulation in proportion to where in the United States vantage of this offer which and $2.70 if in a foreign up this offer.

Three hundred years ago 40,000,000 Negroes were taken from Africa as slaves to the Western Hemisphere, and the time had come for the BY NAHUL DANIEL BRASCHER Editor-in-Chief of the Associated News Press. Good-morning, children! This story is written especially for you. Big folks may read it if they wish, but I hope you will. I am going to tell you about a King who is President. That sounds quer, doesn't it? Well, here is the answer: The name of the President is C. D. B. King. He is President of the Republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, and he is now visiting in this country and is in Washington. The other day I had the house of being rescued by this columbian who the way is, a colored man. What do you think of that—a colored man President? It was because of the deep impression that this President made on me that I wish to tell you something about him. Perhaps it will help you to grow into the ways of everyday life. I cannot take time to tell you about Liberia, but you can get a great deal of information about that country from books. Even the daily newspapers now and then speak of it, and so do our newspapers. Here in Washington he and the other members of his commission are living in a beautiful residence at 1817 R street, N.W. It is a four-story building and very stately in appearance. They have been in America only a few weeks and are here to enlist the sympathy of our government and you in the people of their country. You should hear President King tell of the fine boys and girls in his country. At the entrance of the President's residence you are met by a very courteous and dignified native Liberian in full dress. You present your card and he ushers you into a beautiful parlor. There you await your turn to see the President. In due time you are invited to another very, very pretty room on the second floor. How I wish you could see this room. About it is arranged pretty white care furniture that makes you think of the summer sun of Africa right away. But what caught my eye were the pretty furnishings that adorn the wall, made by the people of Liberia. On the mantle there hang two flags, one red, white and blue, like ours, only it has but one star in the blue field; and the other our flag. You sit there wondering how you are going to act when the President comes in. You, of course, know that the first things to do is to stand up. But you wonder whether he is going to be stiff and "stuck up," as we sometimes say, so that you will feel nervous and be sorry that you come to see him. Well, let me tell you, when he comes in and is presented, you are so surprised at his essay, kind, friendly manner that you are "taken off your feet." And then, when you get your breath, you say to yourself, "And this is a real, live President!" He is so kindly and becomes A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1821 SUPPOSED INFERIORITY OF DARKER RACES PROVED BASELESS Dr. Frank Boas, Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University, Says That the White and Colored Races Do Not Differ Fundamentally, in New York Address. Negro to use his civilization for Christ-ization to redeem the motherland. (Cheera.) The world in which they lived was reorganizing itself. The world had just passed through a bloody war, fought on the sacred principle of democracy. Two million black men with white men fought for the cause, held the Germans at bay and threw them across the Rhine. But for the assistance of the Negro in the war a different tale would have been told (Continued on page 2.) RESIDENT—PEN OF LIBERIA'S RULER dressed. He talks to you in the easiest, most cordial manner, using the very choicest English. To tell you the truth, just between us, I have met lots of people right here in our country who were not president of even a literary club who put on ten times as much air as President King. And, do you know, he could be all "puffed up" if he wanted to be that way. He is a native of Africa, the most resourceful country on earth. There are more diamonds, gold, mahogany, ivory, ecotinia, ostrichs and many things like that in Africa, there in any other country. Then, he lives in a country where any lay may grow up to be President. Then, again, he has been honored by other presidents, kings and queens in such countries as ours, England, France, Spain, Belgium and Switzerland. Don't you think that very fine? But, with all this, President King of Liberia is very kind, friendly and courteous. It seems to me that this is something that we should all remember. It will help us to be worth while, not only to those about us, but even to the boys and girls in Liberia and other parts of Africa and other parts of the world. This is one of the big lessons I got from visiting President King, and I simply could not resist telling the boys and girls—our boys and girls—of the United States about it.

At a meeting held at the People's Educational Forum, Lafayette Building, 168 West 181st street, on Sunday, April 2, 1921, Dr. Frank Boas lectured to an enthusiastic audience on the subject: "Supposed Inferiority of Darker Races." Mr. Randolph Owen, editor of the "Messenger," a radical periodical, introduced Dr. Boas as a distinguished Anthropologist, an able educator, and a man whose expression of opinion on racial questions is valuable because of its impartiality.

Gordon, assistant president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is on a special mission to California. He is sent by the parent body of the U. N. L. A. for the purpose of interesting the people of the Far West in the mammoth undertaking of launching the B. S.

CAMPAIGN FOR THE STUDY OF NEGRO LITERATURE AND HISTORY TO BE HELD The Omega Pet Phil College Fraternity plans to conduct throughout the country, during the week of April 24-30, "a campaign for the Study of Negro Literature and History." The purpose of the campaign is to arouse and deepen an interest in literature of Negro authorship and encourage a closer study of the history of the Negro. The fraternity plans to work not only through its fifteen chapters, but through the leading colleges, high school, Christian associations, literary organizations, and churches throughout the country. These organizations are being collated that there might be brought home to all of the race the very great importance of a closer study of its own literature and history. These organizations are being asked to lay special emphasis on this matter during the week of the campaign, and to join headily in such plans as may be suggested to them by those taking the initiative in the movement. It is confidently hoped that co-operation will be found on every hand for making this movement the great success it deserves. Mr. Wm. B.

This particular thought was illustrated when he spoke of how the people in different parts of the world do not conform en- tirely to the ideas of them, and he gave as an example the difference of structure, based on his own expe- nence, which he found among the Swedes and the Italians.

GEORGIA PLANTER GUILTY OF MURDER Sentenced to Life Imprisonment Eighteen Hours—Counsel on Prejudices in Covington, Ga., April 3—The trial of John S. Williams, (white), Georgia plantation owner, charged with the murder of eleven Negroes to cover up poonage conditions on his plantation came to an end here when after eighteen hours deliberation, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty and recommended motive. The case reached the jury's hands at 4:51 o'clock yesterday afternoon after the Judge had instructed it as to its duty The charge of Judge Hutcheson was brief. The burden of proving every material allegation in the indictment charging Williams with the killing rested on the State, the judge stated. The jury was the sole judge of the credibility of all witnesses, he told them, and could lend to the defendant's unaworn statement any weight it can fit. It was also solo judges as to the State's corroboration of the testimony given by the accomplice Manning and also as to whether Manning was an accomplice or had acted under coercion. If after deliberation they believed Williams guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, they would by their verdict so find him, in which case the penalty would be death. They could, however, attach to a verdict of guilt, the recommendation that he be confined in a penitentiary for life. With utmost clarity of analysis and in language at once published, pungent and simple "Colonial" Howard built up the final structure of the State's case. A contagion of dreadful death, he said, had in late February and early March overrun the lands of John E. Williams and his sons. All these who caught it had come to the farm from one place, fall, and only those who had so come had caught it thrown of them in all.

"Our Plan." Having by this bond linked the violent death of Linda Peterson, Negro with the violent deaths of ten other Negroes inside two weeks on or near the Williams place, he abrasion them to the set plan and purposely of Williams, for which he had developed the motive. That motive was that of those Negroes because of evidence which they might give, the Federal Courts to the destruction and liberty for himself and his sons. That tear had been put to help by a recent visit of Federal agents who informed him he was visiting the Poncean State by making these "stockade Negroes" work to help him with their labor. And this fear, Mr. Howard asserted, had been sharpened and made compelled by certain inquiries of the Federal agents concerning death of three Negroes on the plantation during the preceding year. So Williams had the eleven slaves Negroes and helped to kill them all, Limbray Peterson included, Mr. Howard said. Following Mr. Howard, Anthony Johnson consumed two hours in his final lay for the defense.

On the thirty-fifth day of his speaking days were so great that special guards were stationed pocket books of the U. N. L. A. members, instead of criticizing Garvey and his work Deniyi would be proclaiming His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey as the warmest baby and the hottest tomali that came down the African turnpike. Negro World So if Deniyi is a real African prince, he had better write to his African friends and relatives, who are millionaires "Send me one thousand pounds annually because these grandsons and granddaughters of white folks' slaves in America will not regard me as a real prince as long as I travel as a begging preacher and lecturer." A paper published every Saturday in the interest of the Negro race and the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the African Communities League THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT. THERE are forces still at work in America to keep the Negro in certain social and political grooves beyond which he must not seek to venture into the paths trodden by the white man. It is becoming more and more apparent to the observant Negro that a certain element in the white race is diametrically opposed to a Negro holding any position of authority, or command, under government, in departments where the majority of employees are white. The recent action of the sally female employees of the Register's Office at Washington in protesting against the appointment of a Negro to be head of that office shows us what is back of the minds of the white politicians who inspired and engineered this protest against a Negro appointee for this office. The protest and appeal will not be without influence in the quarters into which they have been sent, and we may now look for compromises and explanations of a change of administrative policy—if this administration should go into the compromising business on the subject of Negro appointments. Of course the protestants say that their action is not the result of race prejudice that it is not inspired by Southern whites, etc. We who know better know that this is all "bunk" and that it is a case of "my lady doth protest too much"—and this is usually good evidence of the guilt of the protestants. The Negro is too well acquainted with the habits of this element of the white race in these circumstances to be deceived by the avowals of these "good ladies" that there is no racial prejudice in their effort to defeat the purpose of the administration to give a Negro this appointment. We shall watch developments in this case. We do not like its aspect. Correspondents are requested to write on one side of the paper and sign all communications even if a nom-de-plume is used for publication.

THE CHICAGO WHIP AND THE BLACK STAR LINE. THE Chicago Whip started out under the editorship of Mr. Linton and Mr. Bibbs two years ago to be a real newspaper But it seems to have fallen somewhat from its high estate and to be in desperate straits to get readers to buy the paper. We are now facing conditions, not theories, in the political evolution of the Negro in this country. We are face to face with the hard, cold proposition born of over-confidence and blind faith in the bona fides of the Republican party, of which we have hitherto believed ourselves to be an important and necessary factor. The period of disillusionment has set in, and we shall soon know "where we are at" as members of that political organization. If the administration yields to the protest of a group of white women against the appointment of a Negro to be Register of the Treasury, we will have gotten its measure and found out its true attitude toward an element of the electorate which labored assiduously to help to bring it into being. Let us wait and see what further is in the cards. Marcus Garvey, the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line are in the limelight now and anything said about them attracts attention. When newspapers find their sales falling off they can always revive interest and increase circulation by featuring Garvey, the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line. So when we find the Chicago Whip printing lies in glaring headlines about the Black Star Line we surmise it is merely trying to whip up circulation. The Chicago Whip stated in big glaring headlines, "Black Star Liner Kanawa Wrecked," in the April 9 issue. The subheads ran as follows: "S. S. Kanawa Smashes Pier at Old Point—Marcus Garvey's Freight Liner Between Hampton Roads and Cuba in Smashup." The Whip then stated that the Black Star liner crashed into the government pier at Old Point Comfort. Thursday night, that the entire stern of the ship was stove in, leaving a gaping hole into which the water rushed immediately, that the pumps were quickly manned and both ship and pier were damaged to the extent of about $2,000. Until we know the answer which the administration will make to the inspired protest of the women clerks in the office of the Register of the Treasury against the appointment of a Negro to that office, would it not be well for the Negro press and writers for the press to maintain a discreet silence? We think so. President Harding has a unique opportunity, and that is to prove whether the ideals of democracy, justice, humanity and civilization, which ex-President Woodrow Wilson waxed so eloquently about, are capable of realization and embodiment on this planet. Readers can't understand how a boat could be wrecked when the damages to the boat and pier did not exceed $2,000. The editor of the Chicago Whip evidently underrates the intelligence of his readers and thinks they are a pack of fools and numbskulls. Perhaps that is the reason why the paper has to descend to yellow journalism and manufacture lies out of whole cloth to boom and boost its circulation. THE AMERICAN DILEMMA. THE perplexity about the colored brother in America and especially in the Southern States is that he is neither regarded as a man nor a monkey. He is regarded as somewhat higher in the scale or creation than the monkey and somewhat lower than the white man. But this is what we do not understand. They don't have to enact disfranchisement and jim crow laws to keep monkeys and apes in their places. Does it not seem that the Negro is so near man that if given the same educational, economic and political opportunities and advantages that other men possess, he would endanger the boasted white supremacy? If the Negro is so dull, stupid, lazy, worthless and good for nothing, why worry about him and pass all kinds of laws and formulate all kinds of restrictions to keep him down? In a race, men don't handicap a man afflicted with gout, rheumatism or paralysis Dread lest the supposed ape will develop into a real man is what disturbs the peace of mind of the Bourbons of the South. They are really trying to defy the Creator and undo His work. God made the Negro a man. They are trying to unmake him and metamorphose him into something less than a man. But it is best not to interfere with the plans of the Almighty. What are the facts, the Kanawa put into Jacksonville, Fla., for minor repairs which did not exceed $100, and then resumed her trip to Cuba. She is now plying between the ports of the Caribbean Sea. Does that look like a wreck? But perhaps the erudite editor of the Whip has evolved into a lexicographer and contemplates supplanting Webster's, Worcester, the Standard and Century dictionaries with a dictionary of his own, assigning new meanings and values to words. If that be the case he should so inform his-readers. "PRINCE"? MADARIKAN DENIYL PRINCE"? Madarikan Deniyi in another attack on Hon. Marcus Garvey in the Richmond Planet, stated that he, Deniyi, is a real prince because he is a grandson of Balogun Ijenlo, chief of Yoruba tribe at Abeohuta, Nigeria, West Africa. He also refers to Hon. Marcus Garvey and Bruce Grit as grandsons of white folks' slaves. THE COMING INAUGURATION OF DR. EASON. IT has been announced that Rev. J. W. H. Eason, who was elected American leader by the U N. I. A. convention which convened in Liberty Hall, New York, last August, would be inaugurated in Washington, D. C., with appropriate ceremonies and would set up what the press termed the "Black House" on April 25, 1921. When the Prince of Wales and Prince George of Prussia came here they traveled in state; they didn't go around preaching in churches and appealing for collections like "Prince"? Deniyi did. "Prince"? Deniyi claims that he is a near relative of an African prince who is worth four or five millions and the personal friend of a widow, an African lady, who is worth over five million dollars. Now if Deniyi is a real prince and if his African friends and relatives are so immensely rich, why doesn't he call upon them to put up three or four thousand dollars annually so that he can travel and live in America like a real prince instead of a mendicant preacher? "Prince?" states that he has supernatural power in Africa to help or injure the Black Star Line. If that be the case, why don't he use some of his supernatural power to enable him to get enough money out of Africa to travel with the dignity of his position as prince? Owing to the absence of His Excellency the Hon Marcus Garvey, President-General of the U. N. I. A. and Provisional President of Africa, on his lecture tour in Cuba, Jamaica and Panama, the inauguration will be postponed until he returns to New York City. Mr. Garvey will return in a fortnight, and then the date for the inauguration of the American leader will be announced. We make this announcement so that the friends and readers who contemplate attending the inauguration ceremonies can govern themselves accordingly. CINCINNATI AND AMBLER If the august West African prince regards the American and West Indian Negroes as the descendants of slaves, why did he descend to come down from his African heaven to beg money and solicit alms from slaves? Princes do not usually beg from peasants. HIS EXCELLENCY J. W. H. EASON, assisted by Rev Dr Grandison, has just closed a remarkable campaign for the U. N. I. A. in Cineinnati, Ohio. Twelve hundred new members have joined the division. On the thirty-fifth day of his speaking there the crowds were so great that special guards were stationed at the church doors to keep back the overflow crowds. We have heard the African Prince speak and ask for a collection in Liberty Hall, N. Y. He didn't assume the lofty air of a prince addressing his inferiors then. On the contrary, he was smiling in constance, Gattering in manner and oily and unctional in his words. Like what are termed jack-leg preachers, Deniyl was enlisting to flatter, win over and ingratiate himself with his audience and put them in a good humor and prey on their sympathy so that he could get a good collection. When he was milking the J.N. I. A organizations for money, Deniyl was praising Marcus Harvey and what his now terms the descendants of American and Ware Indian slaves so the utmost. The U. N. I. A. of Ambler, Pa., will unfurl its charter in the K. and M. Hall on Thursday, April 21. Prof. Wm. H. Ferris, editor of the Negro World, will be the speaker for the occasion. Some of Philadelphia's most noted vocal talent and Prof. Brown's syncopated orchestra will render the music. Scores of U. N. I. A. members from Philadelphia are coming to Ambler to make a grand demonstration. TWENTIETH CENTURY SLAVERY. THE full extent to which peonage exists throughout most of the Southern United States was not revealed by the trial of John S. Williams, the modern slave holder, for brutally murdering eleven Negroes on and near his plantation to cover up his guilt as developed during his trial. The surface has only been scratched. That Williams was convicted upon the evidence adduced against him will go to the everlasting credit of the Georgia court. But Georgia must not stop there; the ends of justice will not have been served, until Williams is made to pay the full penalty by actually serving the sentence of the court, and Georgia must enforce this penalty before she can exculpate herself. He didn't get on the high horse and assume any airs then. There was not the alightest suggestion in voice, word or manner that he considered the audience that he was tapping for money immediately beneath him socially. But now, when he can't pump any money out of Galvy and his followers, he gets on his knees and stretches himself to his full height and says, "Why am I so proud while you are grandads of white folks slaves?" Other States in the South can boast of their Williamses, and if the Federal Government is really in earnest about suppressing peonage, we programmed a searching investigation of conditions in Lodist- CORRESPONDENCE PRESS AGENT OF M. E. CHURCH COMMENDS NEGRO WORLD ARTICLE ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EASTER April 5, 1921. Mr William H Ferris, Literary Edition The Negro World 56 West 135th Street, New York City My Dear Mr Ferris I have read with much pleasure your article, "The Significance of Easter The Immortality of Ideas" in The Negro World, issue of April 2. Its arrival, inclosed with clipping of my contribution, was a pleasant surprise which has made me feel all the more cordial toward The Negro World. It was a personal touch out of the dark an to speak and yet from an organ which had always extended me the utmost of courtesy. The article is the kind which ought to appear more often in the columns of our daily press for all races. It was somehow individual, distinct from the perfunctory Easter editorial found in most newspapers each year. You have injected into a broad view of history, a philosophy with conclusions which are the essence of all religions of Christendom. Permit me to congratulate you upon the high quality of it. You know personally I am expecting great things of the Negro press. While it is true some papers are tending toward the senational and the antagonistic in the race problems continually arising—a policy which, if widespread, would bode much evil and no good—the majority of Negro newspapers are edited by sane and sensible men. In their hands the thought of your race cannot be misguided. Thank you again for your courtesies to me and my organization. With best wishes I am Sincerely yours. Press Representative. Centenary Conservation Committee of the M E. Church. THE NEGRO AS A DRAMATIC ARTIST THE NEGRO AS A DRAMATIC ARTIST Prof Will am H. Ferris, Literary Editor of The Negro World, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. Dear Sir. Please allow me space in your most valuable paper to express my view of "The Emperor Jones." The most difficult thing to write is a successful problem play starring the colored actor in the title role. Why? Because only a short while ago has the white audience begun to tolerate him in dramatics. We do not always instantly attain a great height by a single leap, but usually by gradual process. While every self-respecting Negro does strongly resent such offensive terms as "nigger" and "monkey chaser," still we must be also fair and broad enough to concipde whatever praise is due the play. I should like to see Gifpin as Othello, or star in any other Shakespeare play on Broadway soon, and no doubt he will when the field presents itself. Where is the budding genius who will give us the problem play of the hour, which will please the race immediately uplift us, and whose pay psychology will sweep the white audience off their feet with compelling audacity? Who knows but that we haven't here now within our midst? Go and see Charles Gilpin at the Princess. He has attained one height of our dreams which was not traversable a few years ago. He will go higher. This play may not end to suit you, and Mr Gilpin does not kill his white rival although he threatens him within an inch of his life. Perhaps if he did the play would not have reached Broadway, which would consequently entail a loss. Still if you can write a better play than "The Emperor Jones" and hang it over successfully on a white and colored audience then go to it, and we shall not fail to crown you an one of the immortals. Yours truly. MATTHEW BENNETT 151 West 100th Street New York City ROSCOE CONKLIN SIMMONS AND THE U. N. L. A. Dear Editor: Please permit me space in your valuable paper. No doubt some of you heard or read the speech of Colonel Simmons in Braddock, Pa., and in St. Louis. March 14, subject, "Under Which Flag." We will admit that Colonel Simmons is a noted orator, but the time for flowery speeches has passed, and we, the Negro peoples of the world, four hundred million strong (that is the majority of us), are bringing things to pass by linking up with the greatest movement ever known, The Universal Negro Improvement Association, founded by Marcus Garvey. We have been listening to Colonel Simmons and others too long, and over five million of us right here in these United States have fully decided to follow you no longer. We are following Marcus Garvey. Colonel Simmons said, in his speech in Pennsylvania, "No Africa for us. Who is this proposing to lead me from my country? Who is this that seeks to lead the American Negro from his home?" I will answer your question: No one is trying to lead you from your country. We are trying to lead you to your country. Africa is your home; your forefathers were brought here as slaves and that is why you are here. Dig deeper into the bowels of the earth; press more closely to the American white man, etc., is your motto, but we are tired of that stuff. You have forgotten the failure of the Roosevelt "Square Deal," "All Men Up," etc., the promise of Taft for better things. Wilson with these slogans, "The New Freedom" and "Making the World Safe for Democracy," etc. We shall no longer wait on the white man. The new Negroes are wide awake and are doing for themselves. The U. N. I. A. are not asking that all the eighteen millions of Negroes in America leave these United States and go to Africa, but we are going to make it fit for those that want to go. And you and your followers can rest assured that many of us are going, and those that we leave here will have a government, a flag and a country behind them just as good as any GERALDINE F. SMITH. Chicago MISS MARIANNA JOHNSON, SOLO IST IN THE RENDERING OF HANDEL'S "MESSIAH." Miss Marianna Johnson. 145 W. 142d St. New York City Dear Miss Johnson: I am in receipt of your communication accepting the work of contralto solist in the rendition of the "Messiah," by The People's Choral Society, of Philadelphia, on the 28th of April. In reply would say we thank you and are sure you will do your part to make the work a success. In consulting our leader about how much or rather how many solos you will sing, he said all of them. They begin with "Behold a Virgin Shall Conceive." "O Thou that Tellest Good Tidings to Zion." Then Shall the Eyes of the Blind Be Opened." He Shall Feed His Flock Like a Shepherd." "He Has Deplied and Rejected." Quarter—"Since by Man Came Death." Quartette—"For as in Adam All Die" Duet—"O Death, Where Is This" Sting—"Also the recitation just before this, 'Then Shall Be Brought to Pass'." AN OPEN LETTER To Hon. Warren G. Harding, President of U. S. A. Honored Bir: Perhaps you ignore that the 80,000,000 people of the Negro, Indian and Latin races who live south of the Rio Grande learned with the greatest pleasure of your election as President of the greatest white democracy on the face of the earth. These 80,000,000 souls present you their warmest congratulation on the occasion of your nomination to the first magistrate of the United States. We all believe that through your good sentiments, activity and intelligence you will be able to mand certain wrongs, correct many errors made by the wordless administration of Woodrow Wilson which administration proved so disastrous to Latin America and so oppressive to the Negro population of the American Union. You are quite aware of the forceful and unnecessary intervention of U. B Marines in Haiyt and Santo Domingo and of the unspeakable atrocities perpetrated on defenseless and innocent men, women and children. This unqualified intervention has already caused overlasting resentment, mistrust and hate against the government and people of United States on the part of the 86,000,000 of Negroes and Latines in Mexico, Central and South America and in the West Indies. The American or rather Yankee prestige, has been eternally hurt, the Stars and Stripes are looked down upon by the twenty watching republics of this continent. It would be right, Honored Sir, that among your first acts of administration you relinquish your hold from the two Negro republics of the Caribbean Sea and devolve to Haiti and Santo Domingo their liberty, freedom and independence which have been robbed from them, and so allow the island to enjoy its share of self-determination and democracy. It would also be wise that a law be enacted prohibiting Uncle Sam from meddling in the internal affairs of the weaker nations of this continent where, moreover, Uncle Sam has recently been despaired and scorned. We hope fervently that disfranchisement, lychings and burnings at slakes of colored folks, in "the land of the free," be immediately abolished, for it is a blot on civilization and a stain on this beautiful earth; the world at large is daily criticising the barbarities which are persecuted on the poor American Negro in his own native land. We must add right here that in Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands it is believed that Yankeeeland is far from being civilized. "Pan-Americanism" is another void word, has never existed, and can never exist between the nation and peoples of this Western Hemisphere. The Mexican chaotic situation you know, Honored Sir, is due solely to intrigue of American capitalists abetted by the no less cynical government of Washington. Panama has been stolen from Columbia through base intrigue and snarled maneuvers of United States officials. Can the world expect of your government something better than that offered by the reactionary and loathsome administration of ex-President Wilson? For the last eight years, the 18,000,000 colored folks of the Union have suffered more than ever; there was segregation and discrimination intensified, jim Crowism was at a pitch, and disfranchisement, lynchings and burnings occurred almost daily. For the last eight years the twenty republics of the continent known under the appellation of Latin America have been in a state of unrest of unrest. of incertitude, of vile depredations etc. wrongs have been committed, atrocities perpetrated on young girls and old men; all these numerous crimes have perhaps. Honored Sir, put a blot and a stain on the History, Government, People, Policy and Flag of the United States of America that no human being existent nor to come, except Jesus, the Christ, is able or capable of ever effacing. We remain yours very truly. FILOGNES MAILLARD, Havana, Cuba, Nov. 12, 1920. THE SELF-STYLED NEW NEGRO WHO IS YET OLD To The Editor Nexro World Dear Sir--Permit me space enough in your most valuable journal to convey to my people a little food for thought. All of us are not empowered with the gift of ability to supply food of this kind in large quantities, hence my little narrative. They say a half of a loaf is better than none at all. We are confronted very often these days by members of our race who consider themselves New Negroes. One really has to stop to analyze, scrutinize and even sympathize with some of these would-like-to-be New Negroes. Now let me say here that in order for you to be considered as such, you must first be born again. You must be equipped with a new soul, heart and mind, for merely having a desire to possess and control worldly things does not change you one lota for people have had those desires for ages only they did not put them to use. In order to be termed a New Negro, you must be willing to serve God and men honestly, righteously and conscientiously. You must be positive in whatever you may do. Don't you know that a person is readily condemned for entertaining an evil thought and allowing their actions to comply with said thoughts, by God and men, for it is our actions we are judged by? For instance if a person is seen walking to the river edge, possessing the evil thought of committing suicide, that person is condemning their soul by the thought of intending to do whether they actually perform the act or not. Unless that person falls down on their knees at the foot of the Cries of the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ and asks His forgiveness, they are forever lost. I would like to see every member of my race transformed into a New Negro especially the young members. I want to tell you that it is impossible for you to fool everybody for when you come in contact with a man or woman that has actually fell upon their knees and asked Christ to instill in them new life, a life that has for them great promises, which will be their just due, through their service to Him, they turn and look upon you as an absolute failure but crying out to God in their solemnness to guide you least you go astray. Men and women of my race. I call upon you to drop your frivolous mode of existence as it will not bring you happiness for if you want to be happy and be the means of making someone else happy, adopt a life of positiveness, be sure of what you do so that you won't bring condemnation to your soul and sorrow to someone else, for He hath said, "Bervo ye first the Kingdom of God and all else shall be given thee." It is not hard to live a Godly life if you try in the right way, that is if you cannot succeed in doing so if you try to serve both the evil God and the just God, for instance there are lots of young women in our race today that are absolutely pure and moral. They have been taught to live that way by their parents, but their actions in public cause the people that see and notice their frivolous actions to cast and reflections on their character which is just as damaging to them as if they were actually immoral. Some day these creatures will realize their mistakes. I trust it will not be too late, so often so people give a deaf ear to facts told them for their own good. My appeal to you is that you accept first the word of God and by so doing you will live a life of righteousness, one that will demand the respect and honor from whomsoever you come in contact with. If this is not given by some, demand it of them for when a woman carries herself in a decent upright manner, not forgetting her position in life she is looked up to highly and men you want to adopt a clean and pure life also. For some of you are to be blamed in lots of cases. Really some men are so envious and selfish that every woman they see they want, regardless of the circumstances that surround that particular woman. Instead of showing a woman the right way to live and that she should be ashamed of herself for living otherwise and encourage her to live decent, he will take advantage of the weakness in her and use it to benefit his own selfish aims. I beg of both sexes to change their mode of living. Get down to business. Let everything you do, morally or otherwise, be a benefit to the race at large. By so doing you will be helping quite effectively the bringing about more quickly the desired objects and principles of the real New Negro. HAROLD G. SALTUS. CORRECTION.

There are many aspects from which obviously our judgment is determined, which is rather by groups than by denomination of individuals. It is not only in the case of war, when whole nations are considered as one group and are looked at from the point of view as belonging to one particular group, not individually, but also in a peaceful life. Of course, in all these cases we are supposed to look at the value of the individual from the point of view of his group rather than of his own marita. "How, I want to speak today particularly on the question of race prejudice, and how it may arise when our point of view is warped. One particular feature of race prejudice, in any particular group is that we may consider every individual simply as a representative of a certain type. We take an example from Europe. When I speak about the Swedes, I may think of a person who is tall, blond, of blue eyes, with a long head. I may think of a person who is tall, blue, of white, of fact, when I went to Sweden. I did not find all the Swedes conform to this type, but that there were some of this type, and some of other types, so that not by any means all individuals conform to what I call a type. Just the same when I went to Italy and studied the Italians in their province "I imagined the Sicilian rather temperamental, short of nice dark hair and a dark skin. But when I went there, I found that many, of the individuals are blond, with red hair, blue eyes, etc. very vigorous, some of them slow in their actions. Here again the idea which I have of a certain given type does not by any means conform with the actual conditions of the people. Now, what is true in these two cases is practically true of others. We are always misled in thinking of a certain particular kind of type when we are speaking. We do not consider for a moment the fact that a group taken as a whole contains a great many different individuals of different types and different characteristics. Now, taking the question from this point of view it becomes clearly a scientific question. We ought not to ask ourselves what is the type of European, or what is the type of Negro, but we ought to ask ourselves what are all the different individuals like who compose certain kind of people, and his question has been asked by anthropologists for a long time. Of course, it is true that when we compare the different appearance of a European to that of a certain African Negro with regard to pigmentation, with regard to form, they are not alike. They are different people. When we study, on the other hand, certain features like the form of the lip, the shape of the stomach, and the type of the tongue, and the form of the brain, etc., we find something that is quite different. We find that all Europeans differ very, very much. If you try to identify the Europeans by the study of one of these organs, it would be utterly impossible as the same kind of type is found among a great many different groups. Now, when we study in this way the Negroes and the whites, and the Negroes has been studied with a great deal of care and detail, we do find that in their relation, structure, in regard to their range of detailed power, it is quite impossible to say that it, or she stand in a class as distinct from the Negroes. On the contrary, we do find that by far the majority of the two groups are exactly of the same forms, except in extreme cases. Races Not Fundamentally Distinct. We know that in the course of life we are all exposed to a great many different conditions of living, and we find that our organisms are perfectly able to cope with all conditions to which we are exposed. Let me illustrate: We say a certain child is born if that child grows up in one country where one language is spoken, the tongue, the lip, will adjust themselves to the requirements of that particular kind of speech. If the child is taken into another country, then the same organs will adapt themselves to the different character of speech. As far as we know there is absolutely no form of the lips or tongue or mouth which will prevent anyone from doing just what is required in any particular kind of speech. In other words, the form does not actually determine the functions, but they can be adapted to the particular requirements of life whether in the white or Negro race. Of course there are a few cases, as in the case of an individual with a tied tongue to the lower jaw, who, when operated on and the tongue is cut cannot speak like the offers, but in normal forms any kind of mouth, no matter what it may be, can function properly in the various circumstances. Another matter which may be even more important and fundamental is the heart. Let us consider it for a moment. Our heart is supposed to maintain the circulation of the blood. Now the external conditions under which our blood *circulates* are very different. They live at a certain altitude, and they may live 30,000 feet above the earth. work hard, and nevertheless the same heart will be practically capable of adjusting itself to the conditions of life. Here again we may say that the same form of heart may adjust itself in different conditions of life. We may also say that hearts do differ considerably in form, but they all do the same thing, and we may say the same in regard to the stomach and the intestine. The food in various places is very different, and a great many of us have passed through periods of life where we adjusted ourselves to one kind of food or another. I take myself for example: When I was young I spent some time in the Arctic, where I had to adjust myself to a purely diet. At a later time I lived in the tropics, and was not completely adapted to vegetable data, and this is true of every one of us. New the same thing is true in regard to our nervous system and the brain. It is true that among Europeans there are different types of brain, some large and some small, some simple and some complicated, but we find that in the majority of cases they are all doing the same kind of work, and can be adjusted with the particular kind of requirements. In other words, we find that throughout the whole organism there is a wide margin of safety, whereby the various organs can adjust themselves. It depends simply upon the conditions of physical life, social life. But if we consider here what actually happens in the different families whom we know, notwithstanding the fact of this adjustability, there is a marked difference in the different families. In one family, for instance, the members may be very strong physically. They may be called muscular, so that if the proper conditions are given we may say that such and such a family are composed very largely of individuals who are particularly adapted for physical work. And so it may be with another family where there is a tendency of weakness. It may be that the family tends to develop all sorts of diseases due to lack of resistance, and we may say that the members of that family are subject to these influences. So when we take the case of the brain development all of us know there are some families the members of which are great individuals, while on the other hand there are other families where the individuals are very stupid. The children inherit the stupidity of their parents. In other words, it is certainly true that not only the individuals in a certain race are different, but we may also recognize that owing to the influence of heredity the whole family lines in a given race are different. If we look at the race from this point of view we may recognise that in a family of one race there are certain lines of descent. There are certain families that are particularly strong, well adapted to cope with the work which is required of them, while there may be others who are in some way incapable. We ought to speak of hereditary characteristics of family lives, for when we study the family lives of different races we see that the cause of colour in different races, and that there are weak families and strong families in the white race, there are weak families and strong families in the Asiatic race, and there are weak families and strong families in the African race. Residual Heredity Does Not Exist. Now white people speak of racial characterisation. The fundamental error which is made is whenever they speak of a race as all of the individuals of that race possessing the same characteristics and that these characteristics were inherited from generation to generation. I want you to understand, as I said a while ago, that such an idea of racial heredity simply does not exist. We have here heredity in regard to family lives, and we have heredity in regard to certain individuals, but when we take the whole race with its enormous differences which exist in the various generations, we can only say that the next generation will possibly have some kind of distribution among different individuals in the different families. There is no sense in the statement that a certain characterisation is hereditary in a race and therefore belongs to every individual of that race. Anyone who makes that statement forgets that the different individuals, as well as the family lives in any given race, differ among themselves enormously, and really do not show any particular kind of similarity. The differences we found in one race are ever so much greater and fundamental than the differences which may be found in what we call different racial types. By racial types I mean the behavior of the people belonging to different races. No Fundamental Difference Between White and Negro Race. Now I should like to speak here about one point which I have discussed a great deal in recent times, and it is very often used in order to substantiate the view that there is a fundamental difference between the white race and the Negro race which has been the subject of evasion was made in schools or the army by tests on Negroes and the white people of divers nationalities. It is quite true that when these tests were made the results in regard to the ability of the different races were apparently quite different, and we found ordinarily that various white groups did much better than the Negro group did. But there was an observation equally important which must be taken into consideration. When a comparison was made between the tests on Negroes from Mississippi or Louisiana and those of the North, particularly Chicago, it was found that those from Chicago did better than the Negroes from Louisiana or Mississippi. Now we ask ourselves what is the reason for this peculiar fact. To my mind it is perfectly clear of what happened in a certain case. The Negroes who live in Chicago are accustomed to the particular kind of life about which these particular tests were developed, and therefore he could act with a fair degree of certainty with what was desired. The Negro from Mississippi admitted. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1921 in a small community, and had no experience with the particular test. Others who have made similar observations claim that the difference was due to the fact that the more energetic Negro migrated from the South, and the work remained. I do not believe that this explanation is at all tenable, but I can tell you also why I believe so. I would like to refer here to another kind of test which has also been made in the elementary schools here and in the colleges. There are a number of school children of the same age; whites of the different nationalities and Negroes, and the following results were obtained: The best results were obtained from children of American parents. Very close to them were children of Jews; next to them were Negroes and away behind were the Palmieri. Now, when we consider the actual inter-relationship between the biological relationship between the different race types, of course the Italians stand far away, but very close with the North Europeans, and it would be preposterous to assume that the Italians differ greatly from European group; and we ask ourselves why was this difference actually found. When we investigate the home conditions we find that simply the social state was such that they were not so well adapted to the particular kind of test which was made. In other words in all these cases where these tests were made, it simply showed how a particular group is adapted itself to that particular kind of test, but it does not show anything particularly in regard to general intelligence. I can make this point clear by an example: There are a great many people whose system of relationship is quite different from cura. I use the term "my father, my mother," and I know exactly what I mean. And, therefore, if I ask anyone the question who is your father, he can answer at once automatically. But it is not so with the American Indians; we find in his native term father means not only the father but the mother. In such a case—the question has actually been asked by an investigator who is your father; and then the person ask, "whom do you need?" And the investigator says, "well, this person must be terribly stupid, but does not even know how to mother (Laughter). In this way we can understand what is meant. In other words, my impression is that the tests which we now-a-days use to prove that there is an essential difference between different races simply means that in the conditions given one people acts differently to another kind of people, and that does not mean anything in regard to their intelligence. Now I think what we see here so far shows very clearly that when we look at the question of racial characteristics from a scientific point of view, when we study the behavior and the characteristics of different races, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to claim that one race differs fundamentally from another one; but we do we say of them we know that all of them react in the way they and the bulk of the people cannot respond to the utter requirements of life equally well. Of course there may be differences in extremes. Why Race Prejudice Exists However, clearly we may recognize this fact, it does not do away with the actual occurrence of the actual existence of race prejudice, and I think it necessary to look at the matter from a different angle. We may all ask ourselves, "How did race prejudice originate? What does it mean? And how do so difficult to overcome?" I think if we do so difficult to overcome from this point of view, may go back to very early times. In the early times we had no very great masses of the people lived in small groups, separated from one another, each group inhabiting its own territory and keeping away from the other group. Now when we look at the way in which these people behaved in their time (even today they have not departed from that custom) we find that there is always hostility between one group and another group. We cannot know the reasons, but the particular group of people who live together eat and drink together. It is particular group of people set their own interests higher than the interests of anyone outside of their society. This has gone so far that in certain tribes we find that only those people who belong to that particular tribe are called human beings. For instance, when you study the names of the African tribes; one name, Bantu, means human being; and every one of another tribe is designated to be an enemy. In early times the feeling was that only members of one's own type were human beings and those outside not human beings, and should be treated accordingly. And we always have this particular kind of feeling when the society which is set aside from any other society reacts in any particular way, and only sets its own interest higher than the interest of mankind. So that it is intelligible, the whole idea of mutual application, when one type is helpful to another, which does away with this thing even in the most primitive shape. And we always have this particular kind of feeling when the society which is set from another society reacts in any particular way and only sets its own interest higher than the interest of mankind. Of course, in American civilization, these conditions do not remain quite NEGRO World Ads. Bring Resolutions.

Y. the same; they changed an time west on and the contact with different types became more intimate. This extreme point of view that every stranger is an enemy and ought to be killed gives way to a clearer concept of what mankind needs. Nevertheless, that particular kind of feeling that a particular race ought to preserve its existence and set the interest of the outsider lower than its own man prepared for a long time. You will therefore readily recognise, setting aside the question of race, that we have to overcome this point of view. Even at the present time our own laws are based on the supposition that the interests of the citizens of the States are higher than the interests of the rest of mankind; and it is not only in war that this idea is expressed, but, as for instance, in the case of protective tariff, which is of a national character, when we say we want to protect our own interests, the other interests do not concern us, so that obviously the same fundamental idea which prevailed in primitive times still exists at the present time. although it is less so. This same thing exists in the lower animals. A group of buffaloes will not allow a strange buffalo to join them. A pack of wolves which goes hunting together will not allow an outside wolf to join them. You may have heard of the dogs in Constantinople, who control certain streets and will not allow other dogs to enter their district. And if we look at the whole range of animals, the same thing is true. In other words, to my mind, we are dealing with a very fundamental instinct in man, which is very difficult to overcome intellectually. in so far as our instinct is always to set the interest of the group to which we belong higher than the interest of the whole community and mankind. We can see this nowadays in society very clearly. We take another instance, a gang of boys; there may be another gang of boys in the same district, and there is no difference in their interest, but one gang will not allow the other gang to interfere with what they are doing. so it does not matter what type, whether it be white or colored, one family or another family, there is always this peculiar hereditary trait in those who belong to a group. Breaking Up Class Distinctions. We have, therefore, to recognize in every particular case that we are dealing with a question in which individuals do not recognize that all members of mankind have the same rights, and so they set their little group higher than the rest of mankind. I think it is therefore clear that the whole question of class prejudice depends upon the question, "How far a certain group feel themselves as a unit higher than the rest of the population," and so long as this feeling of unity remains against the rest of the population, we are bound to have class prejudice and class hostility. The only way therefore to overcome a prejudice is to put up a class distinction. I think historically one of the best examples of this kind is the long struggles between the plebians and the patricians in Home. These were two different groups which by descent were the same. Here is a case where for centuries a struggle existed between the two groups who felt themselves completely distinct; WHY BE SICK! Go back to nature! Use Nature's greatest remedy — PROFESSOR J. H.

GO BACK TO COLLEGE! THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO RITUAL AND CATECHISM and the struggle did not end until the lines of demarcation were broken down. Now, what do we mean by the breaking down of a social group? We mean this; that a man should be taken as an individual and not simply as a representative of a particular kind of group to which we may assign him; and that the problem is to find means to do away with the feeling, so that class prejudice might be broken. It is very characteristic that the degree of cohesion actually determines the degrees of prejudice and the degree of antagonism that we do find. We take another example to illustrate the same point. When we consider the condition in Europe, we find: there is particularly a feeling against the Jew. It is, of course, also of the same character as any other kind of race or class prejudice. And here also the question is simply the question of the gradual breaking down of the class consciousness and the development of a feeling that each individual is to be taken by his individual value, and only in this way can we hope to actually overcome the conflicts. I think there is one very general observation that may be followed when we look at the matter from this point of view and I wish you would see that it is not only a question of consciousness of race in any particular case, as in the whites against the Negroes, but it is the same with the Negroes against the whites. In other words, the phenomena which is repeated here is found in Europe in regard to the Jews and Gentiles. As long as the Jews formed a unit and did not allow themselves to mix with the other class from a social point of view—individual friendships and contact outside of their group were not permissible—a strong class feeling perished; but when gradually the group feeling was broken down, when an effort was made to establish personal friendship and relations, the old established class lines were gradually overcome, the antagonism was overcome, which had previously existed for many centuries. And the same thing is true in every single case, whether class or race, that race prejudice can be overcome only by individual effort (and not be a joining together of a large group) to bridge the gap wherever it may be possible.

(This poem will appear in the April number of the Negro Outback, a monthly magazine, published at Memphis, Yankee.) Nice—Bradford Kling, an English- man born and reared in India, endeav- ered to prove in "The White Man's Burden," a poem of great subtlety and intellectiveness, that the Black man had always been a drake upon the white man's breast and roost, although the Black man has through the eight hours of persecution, in the martial sense, begun of the officer and not of the man who was all the time marrying, as well as of the white man known, thereby, in the white man's life, that the white man has done the following while the white man has done the following. ing on the fruits of the black man's tell. The white man has worked it out to his advantage that way in Africa, Asiatic East India, Australia, Siam, Hawaii, the American the West Indian, Japheth being "enlarged" at the expense of the other sons since the flood of waters. The enlargement of Japheth, however, is by no means the spiritual reversion of the inheritance, which has again through the ages come to "even." HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOUR SHARES IN THE BLACK STAR LINE?

Rir: In your issue of December 25, last, I came across a lengthy, but by no means lucid article by Mr. Lucien Watkins wherein that gentleman tries to answer satisfactorily the question, "What Is Poetry?" I am not, like that gentleman, the happy possessor of an "artistic temperament." so I will refrain from criticizing his definition and description of poetry. TWO MILLION SHARES OF COMMON STOCK NOW ON SALE At par value of Five Dollars ($5.00) each at the office of the Corporation. Poetry is to use a vague and elusive phantom which, on account of its very vagueness, baffles all efforts to describe it. According to Lamartine, "It is the enthusiasm of the man most devine in his heart who is more divine in his thoughts." But Madame de Sifalai affirms "It is indeed so divine in the heart of the man as to be almost indescribable." So that he is a pretty bold man who attempts to not only define poetry, but even to give as an example of true poetry what is after all but a banal and commonplace piece of imagination. Truly, some folks rush in where angels fear to tread. AMERICAN NEGRO LABOR BUY NOW! STOCK IN THE BLACK STAR LINE $599 MID S SHARES UNIA Ulysses Pass "It is highly be-adjectived description of poetry might well bear comparison with, and in our opinion, fairly take the palm from the following hysterical description of the sublime beauties of poetry in general and romantic poetry in particular, which M. le Clere holds forth for the benefit of Dupuis and Cotonet, two unsophisticated youths like myself, sublimely ignorant of "What is Poetry." "It is the stars that sigh, the wind that blows, 'tis the cold night, the flowers that exhale their fragrance. it is the bird that flies. Oh, how beautiful! It is infinite! "The diameter, the pyramid, the orient, the affection, the embrace, the whirl, that novel science. It is the philosophy of providential geometry that exists in the vague experience to cut through hidden secrets."—Cotonet "Sir, I should waste beads of perspiration to tell you! It's almost a fable."—Le Clere. "I am angry, I cannot tell my feelings to the world." To conclude, his attempt at a definition of what is poetry reminds me of the Umbrian hound of Virgil's Aeneid, which, pursuing a fleet and elsive stag: "Mille fugit refugitque visa et vividus Umber Haeret hams lamiamque tenet, similisque tenenti Incrapit malia morsuque elusus inani est."

MARCUS GARVEY, PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF AFRICA AND PRESIDENT GENERAL OF THE U. N. I. A. Supplementing the very recent distinguished visit which was paid to us by His Grace Dr. G. Alexander McGuire, our Chaplain Clausen, we were on Monday, 4th inst. furnished with telegraphic communication to the effect that we would again be favored with the presence of another distinguished visitor in the person of His Excellency the Hon. Marc Garvey on Friday, the 18th inst. and, of course, the necessary preparations were immediately started, several meetings being called in order to devise plans. Our local president theresupon proceeded to the junction and meet his hand on same with him accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Jacques, to Guantanamo. It was, however, decided to have the municipal band of this town to meet his Excellency at the railroad station in Guantanamo and to have a procession march to the Club Moncada, where the celebration should be performed, but unfortunately the band was unable to do, owing to the fact: that there intervened a funeral. It is understood, at which the band was summoned to play, thus rendering it impossible. However, a goodly number of the officers and members of the division, accompanied with the portrait of his Excellency as well as with banners, met his Excellency at the station, from which a procession proceeded to the junction and Excellency decided to initiate in a short roonse, having been slightly tired from his long traveling and from the effects of a slight attack of influence, which he expressed as having been caused from his coming from the cold climate of Cuba, but that he hoped to be quite all right again short. ```markdown ``` At 3 p.m. m. our local president, Mr. J. J. Henry, called the meeting to order. After a period of about two minutes his Excellency, accompanied by Mr. Henry, entered the hall, whereupon the entire audience stood in honor to his Excellency and the municipal band played the Cuban national anthem until his Excellency took his seat. This done, our local president asked, "What is your name?" The Ice Mountain" after which our local chapman, Mr. Bachelor, led the meeting in prayers. Our local president, Mr. Henry, here addressed the audience. He said, in part, "We have been hearing a lot about the Hon. Mr. Macrusy Garvey, and I am glad to tell that we now have the presence of this wonderful gentleman in our male role. Before his arrival we were at 300 strong, and if all these people who are sitting here tonight are a members we would feel proud of being loyal to the cause, and I hope all of you who are present tonight will realize from the presence of our wonderful here what the object of this move is and render all your assistance to help in every possible way. I know that the program is pretty lengthy, and as we are anxious to hear all the news from the sweet lines of his Excellency that he has brought for us, but take pleasure in calling upon our former president, Mr. Joseph Matthias, to address you." Mr. Matthias here said: "To His Excellency, the President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. "It is with pleasure that our eyes behold the great hero of the twentieth century. (Cheer.) I reviewed your history on that memorable night when you were appointed our leader, and that you did not hesitate to undertake the task to all possible efforts to restore Africa to a renewed ancient glory for the Negroes. You have pledged yourself to sacrifice your life, not selfishly but unselfish, to free four hundred million Negroes. I may not live to see Africa but I have a six-year-old son and hope that he will be able to see those beautiful shores of Africa.

Salute! Mr. Ernest Peterson here addressed the audience in Spanish in a very brilliant and fiery manner, which brought repetitions of cheers, especially from the Cubans, who, of course, fully understood all he said. Mr. J. Parrish next addressed the audience and relied on a recitation composed by himself concerning the race he respect. Some reads as follows: To extend the progranda of our V. 3.

I have long been reading, I have long been hearing of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and now I have the pleasure of seeing this wonderful gentleman. Honorable sir, I greet you with all my heart.

A duet and chorus was next rendered by the choir, entitled "There is a Cry from Mascotonia. Come Ours and Help Us" (the writer presiding at the organ). This duet was composed of very appropriate words to suit the race, specially prepared by the choir. Mr. Daniel Richardson, executive secretary, said: "Your Excellency, Officers and Members of the University Negro Improvement Association: My heart is now filled with joy because I have seen, sir, you, the Provincial President of Africa, and am pleased to know you personally. This is really the time for us, the four hundred million Negroes of the world to do all that lies within our power to help the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. to achieve the desired end." Miss Lula Raymond, Secretary of the Cuban Auxiliary Division, next spoke and brought scores of applause. This young lady, as can be expressed by His Excellency, was excellent in her address, though he could not understand all she said, but conspicuously from her impression which stimulated the entire audience, especially the Cubans who readily understood her, was evidence for itself. She also showed a beautiful bunch of roses to His Excellency, who gratefully thanked her. Mr. John Danielle, one of our eloquent Spanish interpreters, here stood and shouted, three cheers for the Hon. Marcus Garvey, three cheers for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, viva Antonio Maco, viva Cuba, and viva la raza Negra. The Hon. Mr. Cunning here said: his Excellency, Mr. Chairman, officers and members, it affords me much pleasure to be present here with you tonight. Tonight we have with us our illustrious head, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. It should, therefore, give us that bright ambition which we should have. It should inspire us. He has not come here tonight to beg us any thing, he has not come here to beg us any thing, the importance of the great movement for, as I know him well, he is too proud to beg. It is for us to wake up out of our lethargy and push forward to that strong determination. Some of you have been like doubling Thumass, but I hope you will be conscious. from the presence of our President-General. The time has come for us to have a government for ourselves, the whites have their own governments, the yellows have their own, but there is really no proper government for the Negroes. He has appealed to you to give your assistance to establish our Negro Government in Africa. I do not know if you see the necessity as I see it. To me it seems as if every movement should seriously of this movement. Africa we shall follow is calling us, and if we shall follow the As is shown to us, we shall go through successfully. Ladies and gentlemen, what a pleasure it is for us to have our illustrious leader here with us tonight, and I must tell you, it may be the last time we may see him here, because he is a busy man. He has the world to visit, and there may be some places that he can only visit in a life time.

Marcus Carvey Snook. Our local president here took pleasure in giving His Excellency his "full sawing," and the anxiety of the entire audience is self-explained, as everyone was uneasy to hear His Excellency's voice. Here he started and which was interpreted to Spanish by Mr. E. Peterson. "Mr. President, indian and gentleman, I am pleased, indeed, to be in this beautiful island of Cuba. I have been in this, your country, for about sixteen days, and from what I have seen, I can only say that you have a beautiful country to be admired by everyone. I am only sorry that I cannot speak your native language, but I hope on my next return to the island I will be able to converse with you in your language. I have come here, however, for the purpose of conveying to you a message from the Negro peoples of the world, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that I have the honor to represent and endeavoring to organize all the Negro people of the world into one organisation. The fourth of this organization of the entire native hundred million Negroes of the world for the purpose of establishing a strong government of our own in Africa. In view of the fact that Cuban Negroes, like all other West Indian Negroes, were taken from Africa three hundred years ago, we believe that every Negro should be interested in a movement of this kind." He then continued in English only: "Mr. President, members and friends of the Guantanamo division: It is indeed, a pleasure for me to find myself in your midaf tonight. I have come to this your division, to speak to you for a white, and to tell you what we are endcavoring to do and what we want to accomplish in the near future. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, as you know, was organized in the United States of America four and a half years ago with thirteen members.

When I was leaving New York to visit the several branches on my sister's tour to the West Indies, I understood from the Executive Secretary that there are several branches in Cuba, and I asked him to give us the Guantanamo division. I understand that His Grace was here with you a few weeks ago, and that you received him very hospitably. During the convention of last year they elected nineteen leaders, and His Grace, theplain-Governor was amongst the leaders and also your humbla arriv. As you know, to be President of Africa is one of the biggest jobs in the world. They have given us the job to drive all the alienes of Africa and I alone, cannot go through the job, and that is why I have come to Guantanamo division to let you know that we will want you to enlist for the freedom of your motherhood. Africa, as you know, is the richest and most proficient country in the world. As American, Cuban, Jamaican, Haitian Negroes were never in existence three hundred years ago, it in therefore quite clear that we were all African Negroes that were brought to the United States of America and were kept there as slaves for two hundred and fifty years, and those who were sold to the West Indies were slaves for two hundred and thirty years. Some of us got our freedom through emancipation and some of us got our liberty by fighting for it. We have decided that in this age of human progress that has come for us to get together and ourselves that land that God Almighty gave to our forefathers. It is for purpose that I have come to visit your city. Guantanamo is a faraway place from America, but at the same time, wherever there are two or three that are gathered together in favor of the Negro Improvement Association, it is duty to come and visit you. I. is small enough for you in Guantanamo at this time to do your duty or this great and honorable cause, and I want you to realize that just at this time the world is reorganising itself. The war continued for nearly four and a half years, and in that war Russian men fought. Frenchmen fought, American men fought. They took two million Negroes from the West Indian islands to the United States, and promised all sorts of things. We have prived of our share of democracy, since we have deprived of our share of democracy, we have decided to fight for our democracy, and that is for Africa and that is why I am appealing to you to the map of Africa and took in the south you will find the English people.

I want to say to you that the work of the Negro Improvement Association has greatly advanced the improvement of the Negroes. Prior to this organization the other races had no respect whatever for the Negro race. In America they brushed and burned us, but since this organization has come into existence we have compiled every government to respect the Negroes, An Englishman will fight and die for the Union Jack of England, as an American will die for the Stars and Stripes of America, we, as Negroes, must live and die for the Bad, the Black and the Green, under which you can stand up at any time and any where and demand your rights. This is the sort of organization that I represent, and I want you to exert every sense, for there is no other movement in the world as programmed by the Association. Just funny, in three to four and a half years we have linked to four hundred million Negroes. There are some c" us who have lost courage and there are some who have lost hope, but I want you all to understand that there is a chance for every woman and child in the world. We do not want you . . . be coward. The Negro Improvement Association wants every Negro who will stand up for his rights and die for his rights.

I have traveled the world all over and I have come across Negroes who are ill-treated because they seek their rights. If the Negro is in England they have no respect for him; if he is in France, there is no respect for him, but if it is in an Englishman, and he goes anywhere he is respected because they know that behind him stands a great government. Just as an Englishman or a Frenchman can go anywhere and demand respect, why cannot a Negro travel the world over and demand from any man of the world the respect which is due to him as any other government? It will only be a question of time and we shall have a government of our own. We already sent out a large number of men to Liberia to lay out our railroads, build factories, etc., and we expect to send a greater number very shortly. God Almighty, when He created the world, did not intend any man to occupy any one operation in this; it has been a propaganda to keep you down all these 360 years. God Almighty created you to be men and not to be heaves of wood, as the white man expects you to be the days of your life. A white man says that slaves are not slaves, but that slaves are not slaves. Love tonight who is the most beautiful woman in the world, he would tell you or take out a white woman and say she is the most beautiful woman in the world; if you want to go to China and ask a Chinese man, point out the most beautiful woman in the world, he would pick out a Chinese woman, but if you go to a Negro and ask him who is the most beautiful woman in the world he would at least pick out a white woman. You intend to love yourself first and love others last; you are the strongest case of people in the world, therefore we all cling together, and thus the stream that I have come before you have Giantanimo is to ask you to help me in New York to uplift and protect race. The Black Star Line. I have seen many Negroes who have been installed by other nations and the government refused to take up their duties that, they are not paid to protect Negroes but, to protect Englishmen. All other nations have arms and battalions etc.; we want our own battalions too. We have built up a greater Star Lina? Twenty months ago, as you the Negroes had no ships, but now we have four ships. The first one was bought by us two months after we organised, and which is called the Fredrick Douglass, or otherwise the Yarmouth. The Yarmouth goes to Yarmouth, comes to Cuba, and the United States. Since we have floated the Yarmouth, we have floated three more Oceans called after. Urban general manager, Antonio Moco, and when I have leave an Sunday morning for San Juan, I shall bear the Antonio Moco the companion, Jamaica. On the two-night visit which we shall launch the month with which we will sell from New York to Liberia. We will buy ships, we will buy Narris ships, as they are able to carry Negroes to any part of the world. When you are going to leave Cuba we want you to leave in no other ships but the steamships of the Black Star Lina. You will be better better, better facilitated on your own steamships. Black captains, black crew, in the next five years we expect of have fifty ships. If you are going to China, or anywhere, you will go on a ship of the Black Star Lina. Ann ladies and gentlemen, you can expect to do this except you have readily. You can buy shapers you are going away your money to ensure in any other donation, you are receiving your money in a concern which will be of great benefit to you. We are going to get up every morning on ships and work from January to April as your object to work all the days we need life you will be working and come out and, still we are working and allow it to work and work and allow it to work. In Hortonville, now they have started out as a peek boy, you have been and offer, he worked for a business and worked his money, he increased his time, and now he is sitting on his brow and his money is still increasing him. He could never work his money, which he possesses, because he knew his bites that we were familiar and all the, western Negroes had hard up bananas, the eastern Negroes had hard up yawr the southern Negroes had hard up bananas, and of away year the northern Negroes had hard up bananas, are divided up. that money and getting enormous profits off it, he gives you 8 per cent interest. At the close of this meeting I would like to see as many of you as possible coming forward to buy shares in the Construction Loan and also in the Star Line. I am only sorry that from the cold which I have had for the last few days, I am unable to speak to you in the manner I would like to but tomorrow night I hope to be able to speak to you on the battle cry. If you have $100 in the bank draw $50 and buy shares in the Black Star Line and the Liberia Construction Loan. The meeting here came to a close, after His Excellency having spoken for fully one hour and fifty-five minutes, with prayer by our local chaplain at 11:38. Saturday's Meeting. On Saturday the 19th, the meeting started with the singing of our National Anthon and prayer by our local address by our president, as below: To His Excellency, Officers, Members and Friends: This evening we meet again for the occasion of the race and to hear all the interesting words from our President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey. Last night he told us of the Black Star Line Construction and the Libarian Construction Loan and tonight he has promised to tell us about the battle cry. I am sorry to say that since he came to Cuba he has not been in the best of health. Today he had a slight walk around the town and after he came back he had to go to bed: therefore this evening he is not feeling very well, but being a hero as he is, he has forced himself to speak to us, and we must be still and listen to all that he has to say. He has asked us to assist in order that the association can buy big ship; as it is now there is a ship lying in the harbor at Santiago and which does not belong to any other person that the Negro race, and I hope that we all do not come here only for the purpose of giving addresses but that you have come prepared to buy as many shares as you and endeavor to do everything we need to support this wonderful gentleman to bring this movement to a desired success. If any of us should go to a white man's shipping office and ask for a first-class passage, the first thing that is told to you is, there are no berths, neither first nor second, and of course you have to either accept deck or be disappointed, even though you may have your delicate family to take home or anywhere. I beg to impress it upon you all to give all the support you can to insure our future benefits. Mr. Ernest Peterson, Second Vice-President, here said in part: His Excellency, Offers and Friend, I assume it a very great privilege and pleasure to be able to address you tonight on the subject of appealing to the entire members of the Negro Improvement Association in Cuba (of course our making it known to the other divisions in some way) to and/or to accumulate a sum of money in order that we could purchase a ship independently for all the divisions in Cuba, and name that ship "The Cuba." I feel sure that it would not run over $800,000 to buy that ship and also feel sure that it could easily be done, as the people in Cuba have money. If we named it after any one individual it would not represent the entire amount of branches in Cuba, but if we name it "The Cuba" then it would be more appropriate. Now I am asking every man, woman and to try and subscribe at least one dollar in the Black Star Line for this purpose. It does not mean that you should start right in at once, but I want every member of this association in Cuba to subscribe for the purpose of purchasing a ship. I know that though His Excellency remains here silent he is just in accord with me. We do not want anybody else to tell us that the "Garvey System" is a fake. If a man were taking, I do not believe he would come of a sick bed to address a group of people; he is not looking for anything for himself, he is looking for the benefits for himself, he is looking for the entire race. The majority of us believe that as we become members of the Black Star Line Association we are eligible to the benefits of the entire association. The only way that you will be is when you put your hands down into your pockets and buy even one share at $1. We are in the primera class, as the Hon. Dr. McQuire stated, and I want everybody to realise that we are in the primera class. I do not want Preston, Bates nor any other place to be above us and therefore I want to be above all possible of you pushing forward toward the secretary and piling your hands on the table. Mr. Peterson here left our speaking English and spoke in Spanish for the benefit of the Cuban audience. A song was rendered by Mise A. Moncrieff, enlisted "With Four Hundred-Million Men. We Will Flight for Liberty." After which Mr. J. Hillhouse addressed the audience in an able manner. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATU LAY, AFRIL 16, 1921 Are You Satisfied with Your Present Position?

After the following speakers had addressed the audience our president introduced Lite Excellency in the same manner as the night before: Mr. Alex. Charles, Miss E. Glossemb, Chaplain Bacchar, Mrs. Sponsper and Mr. A. Fredericka. These people, as usual aroused the enthusiasm of the entire crowd and did bring down the house with cheers. Marsus Garvey Speaks His Excellency here commenced at 9:10 p. m. and spoke for fully two hours and forty minutes, lasting until 11:50 p. m. Mr. president, members and friends of the Guantanamo division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. As you know, I am suffering from a bad cold I contracted in Kuy West caused by coming from the northern climate into this warm one. Nevertheless, I promised you last night that I would speak to you in detail tonight regarding the association. I have been to your city and I have watched you very keenly, notwithstanding your obligation in your work, but those of you who are Cubana, and those of you who are Haitians and Jamaicans, as Negroes you have been trying every effort that every other division of the race could put forth. It is for me to tell you that this race of ours is still enslaved. We are enslaved industrially, economically and in every way today. We are regarded as industrial slaves. Whatever you go amongst the Negroes. all parts of the world you will find that we are trampled in every way, if it is in the West Indies or also Negroes occupy the most mental positions in the world, and this Negro improvement is trying to relieve us from this mean position that we now occupy. So long as you have one-sixteenth of Negro blood in your veins you are regarded as a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We do not care where you were born—if you were born in the West Indies, if you were born in Cuba, you must understand that you were originally born in Africa and were taken slaves and brought into Jamaica, etc., and it is only a case of accident, and I want you to understand that you will have to be born again as a true born African. I look at it that whatever is your destiny it is my destiny and also look upon it that if I fall you will fall and if I rise you will rise. We are all of the same race, if we go to the United States and you suffer, I will suffer also. If we go to England and you suffer I will suffer also. We must uplift this organization and I want you to realize the seriousness of this movement. It is not a religion, it is not a doctrine of new faith I am preaching to you—I will come to tell you of my determination to race. This particular material world in which we live is reorganizing itself. If a man has a business and it is not paying he will reorganize his staff and put in a new staff to try to build up a fresh trade, and therefore we want you to prepare to reorganize. God Almighty has kept and preserved Africa for us these many years, and Ethiopia is stretching forth its hands to you and I and every other Negro, some of you may regard it as an idle joke and some of you may regard it as an idle problem, but you will realize the seriousness of it later on. There are some people who say it is only but dreamed but out of the dream has come four hundred million souls, out of this dream has come seven hundred branches of this association and out of this dream shall come a free and independent Africa. This organization is made up of a determined nature. Courage and Faith. The Negro race has been in contact with the white man for over three hundred years, and with all the brutal treatment instead of decreasing in number we have increased to four hundred million, and now Ethiopia is stretching forth its hands for us to come and claim our promised land, and therefore I am here to encourage you, as many of you have lost courage and faith. Many of us have lost confidence in ourselves. If you travel to any part of the world you are kept down to the lowest degree just because your skin is black and I want to tell you that this world belongs as much to you as to any other race and that you have as much to exist in this world as any of the other races; that you Negroes made up of the Universal Negro Improvement Association expect as much out of the world as any white man expects out of it. The white man expects the right to rule and dominate, the yellow man expects the right to rule and dominate and the black man expects the right to rule and dominate also, it is a question that Negroes must find a home of our own. We have pledged our lives and our money and we expect that the world must yield to what it yields to the white man. As a black man I am not out to fight for anything that belongs to the white man, but I am out to fight and prepared to die for anything that belongs to me. I am not here to preach against anything against the whites over the queas- Guantanamo Division No. 164 of the N. I. A. I. A. A. C. L. DR. EASON AND DR. GRANDISON MEET WITH SUCCESS IN CINCINNATI Friday night was a great time for the U. N. I. A. in Cincinnati. It was political night, and the crowd was so great that shortly after 8 o'clock the doors had to be closed. The Cincinnati Enquirer said that twice as many were turned up as co-workers building. For the first time since the present drive a reporter was on hand. The association brought out and indented a Negro for Councilman for the Eighteenth ward, Mr. Horace Sudduth, a real estate dealer, a man of substance, ability and character. At the beginning of the meeting he paid his dollar and put on the red, black and green button. Fifty-one new members were taken in. His Excellency Dr. J. W. H. Eason was at his best in setting forth the objects and aims of the association, and Dr. C. N. Grandison, the "Daddy Rabbit," lived up to his old-time reputation in seconding the resolution indorsing the candidacy of Mr. Sudduth and in his plea for self-determination for the Negro anywhere and everywhere he is in the majority. Special meetings are scheduled for the last ten days of the campaign, and the goal is 2,000 members for the Cincinnati division. People who a month ago were looking upon the movement with contempt and hostility are now sitting up and taking notice. It has become the town talk. Persons wearing the emblem of the association may be seen in all parts of the city and manifesting a kindred spirit and interest. Sunday afternoon. April 3, was another great day. The crowd was the biggest Sunday afternoon crowd we have had yet, and next Sunday afternoon promises a still larger turnout. The division here now, numbers more than 1,400 members. And still they come. Now for a parting word for the chief visiting workers. His Excellency Dr. Eason, has a wonderful endowment of endurance, resourcefulness and platform ability. I know of no young man who surpasses him in these respects. Let us all pray that his life may long be spared 'o the association and that he may never listen to the seductive voice of any subconscious, sinister sentiment that might mar the symmetry of a beautiful, generous and noble character. Mr. Frederagst is a young man of a thousand, thoroughly competent and efficient, withal courteous gentleness and dignified in his bearing. A bright future is in store for him. Keep your eyes on him. As to Dr. Grandison, he, too, is well known and his reputation is well established to require any encomium at my hand. This is the last communication you will receive from me here. From another client, you receive a few lotions and it may be that you will get a write-up from me of the installation to be in Washington on April 25. CHALESK G. LENNOS. DR. J. W. H. EASON AROUSES ENTHUSIASM IN GEORGIA. Dr. Eason arrived in the little city of Brunswick by the sea on Jan. 31, and was greeted by this division. He created a series of meetings at Palmes Chapel, of which Rev B. W. Jones is pastor. The people of this section were fed with many good things that fell from the lips of the greatest orator and preacher of his time. Each night the crowd gathered—too numerous to mention—and the church was filled to overflowing by the man whom we believe God sent to gather this race of ours into one solid band to free our motherland, Africa. He has raised the standard of this division, its membership numbers 700, and sold over $200 worth of stock. He visited M. Olive Baptist Church, of which Rev. E. J Rozell is pastor. A special mass meeting was held at Shiloh Baptist Church of which Rev. S. C. Roberts is pastor. Over 1,000 thrombed to hear the great message. He impressed his hearers with the importance of uniting with the U. N. L. A. and buying shares in the Black Star Line and Universal Construction Loan. He also visited Brookman with much success. God bless our president. His Excellency Marcus Garvey May he live to accomplish this great aim—the freedom of Africa. We feel assured that before many days there will be a thousand in our division wearing the red, black and green. Mr. Pendergast, secretary of the U. N. I. A., spoke on the subject, "Man, a Wonderful Being." He proved to his hearers that the Negro has as much right to possess the things of this world as any other race. H. F. PARLAN, Brunswick, Ga. PROF. PENDERGRAS Wednesday, March 2, 1921.—Dr. J. W. H. Eason, the elected leader for the American Negro was scheduled to speak to his people of Boxley and its community. On account of a speedy business call to Washington, D. C., he could not get here, but sent his secretary, Prof. W. O. Pendergast, and Rev. F. W. Ware of Brunswick, Ga., the state organizer, to speak for us. The meeting was held in Harper's Chapel M. E. Church, Rev. D. L. Clark, pastor, was master of ceremonies. The opening song was hymn No. 655. "From Greenland's Icy Mountain" Prayer was lead by Prof. W. A. Pendergast, followed by the chanting of the Lord's prayer. Then the melody "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" was Mina J. A. Bell. The choir joined in the chorus. Then Rev. J. W. Williams of this town gave a five minutes' talk, after which a beautiful solo and chorus was rendered by Mrs. Laura Bells and the choir, "He Is Mine." Rev. J. H. Williams of the Pineleaf community, gave a five minutes' talk which was also aply and interning. A duet was then sung by Mrs. Alrico B. McNeal and Mrs. Mahala Thomas. "Keep on Praying," after which Prof E. H. Hall, principal of the city school, gave a brief but interesting address. Rev. D. I. Clarke then delivered the welcome address in his usual but eloquent way. Rev. Ware then introduced Prof. W. A. Pendergras amid great applause. He then gave a historical sketch of the rolling hills of the Dr. Marcuss Garrard and how the I. N. I. A has spread in two and one-half years. He explained the meaning of our colors, red, black and green, and urged our men to prepare themselves for the arousing times before us. Prepare to stand for the rights and justice for all mankind. In speaking of Africa, he said, in part: "We do not expect all our people to go to Africa. Of course, it is a rich country, but all cannot go. Some must stay here to carry on trade with Africa, but we want prepared men and women to go as ploneers, to build up and establish commercial enterprises." His lecture was full of useful information, and filled the audience with an inspiration to go forward and unite as men. Cheers and tears interpersed the splendid address. The "Battle Hymn of the Republic" was then sung by the choir. Prof. Pendergast then introduced Rev. F. W. Ware, the State organizer. Rev. Ware, in his amusing way, delivered a lecture that will be long remembered. Being a Southern man he knows just what it takes to draw the attention of our people here and to "strike while the iron is hot." The lecture was a wonderful one and very beneficial. He urged every Negro to join the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. He made it clear that "united we stand and divided we fall." Mrs. Eva. Singer, organist; Mr. C. L. Halton, president; J. A. H.

Spearman spotted very sympathetically of the movement and urged the representatives to explain the aims and objects to them. Although the principal speaker was absent, the audience was kept spellbound by President R. P. Aunts of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Vire-Persident W. H. Williams and the Newark U. N. A. B. Aand, under the leadership of Prof. Fred Reynold and Mrs. R. Jones, president. On Tuesday they meet at St John's M. E. Church, where it was heartily welcomed by Mr. H Henry representing Rev. Hubbard. The audience was electrified by the eloquence of Mr. John O'Loughlin, president, and Mr. R. D. Thompson. On Wednesday evening the climax was reached at the New Hope Baptist Church, where the church was filled to its capacity. The Newark *N.* I. L. A. Band the *Bloc Cros Nurse*, the Universal Legions in their uniforms and His Grace the Chapel General Dr George A. McGuire were present, and were the outstanding feature of the evening. Rev Fields, representing the pastor, welcomed the organization and wish it suc ceas. Dr T. H. Wright, who has been with the division for the last nine months and is the instructor of the Black Cross Nurse, was the first speaker. The band was at its best and rendered some beautiful selections, which were received with cooferous applause. The president John O'Loughlin, then introduced Chapman General Dr George Alexander McGuire, who was given a hearty welcome. He spoke very highly of the Newark U. N. A. Band and said in all his travels through the West Indies, America and England he has never heard a band play the celebrated march, "Onward, Christian Soldier" better, as well as other selections. He then spoke of the wonderful success the organization had made throughout the world, and emphasized the necessity of the Negroes uniting themselves and working together for their common good. Thursday evening a larger crowd awaited them at St Luke's A M. E. Church, where Chapman General Dr McGuire made a strong appeal for Liberty loans and Black Star Line shares, to which the members responded nobly on Friday and Sunday evening, they met in the division meeting place, where a record-breaking meeting was held.

THE U. N. I. A. IN HARTFORD, CONN. Our Sunday meeting opened, in usual with song by choir and prayer by our chaplain. We are still forging ahead against the great odds that we are against us. Our president, Mr. Wilson, is a fighting man, that is, he is doing all within his power to have the people learn race pride. The one great thing Branch 74 is proud of is that it has a band which we are not ashamed to own as good as any barring none. Our band, led by Mr. Taylor, played many selections, for which they are many and many applauded. Our band is the talk of the city. To our surprise our lady president Mrs. Johnson, walked in during our meeting and gave many splendid remarks for which she is well noted. In the near future we hope to have some of the masters join our gathering. Miss Elizabeth Dowden rendered us a solo. We remain, yours respectfully, BRANCH 74, Hartford, Conn. Reporter G. L. U. N. I.
