Lady Members of U. N. L. A. Win Great Victory SAN FRANCISCO, June 17. A few weeks ago some of the finest theatres in this city published that the motion picture known as the "Clanman" would be shown in this city as an early date. No sooner than it became known to us that we men didn't get together to try and stop the reproduction. A committee was formed by representatives of different clubs, leagues, the churches and the president of the San Francisco division of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. The committee mentioned above did their best by interviewing the representatives of the city and the president, whom it is hard for them to always know, what he wants or what he asks for, and at some time it seemed as if they would give up the fight, but when they heard that they did not it cut. MR. D. H. S. DURHAM MYSTERIOUSLY DROWNED IN EAST RIVER, N. Y. The body of Mr. Dennis H. G. Burham, of New York city, was found in the East River at the foot of Fulton street. on Tuesday morning, June 11. He had been missed by friends and relatives for five days. How he came by his death remains a mystery. No marks of violence were found on his body, and there is no reason to believe that he committed suicide. Dennis H. D. Durham was employed at the W. S. Y. M. C. A. as check-room clerk for 18 months. He was at work last on the 18th, and was hired on June 16. He left his brother's home. 717 West 18th street, at 818, in good health, promising to bring his son's cake and ice cream soda to the return. He body was found on the 26th of June at the foot of the station street. Brooklyn, a young man, of great prominence, arrived at the Y. M. C. A.合营站 85 for flowers. The funeral services were held at the residence of William C. Furr, Seventh avenue, Priscilla June 18. Thence the procession proceeded to Woodbury, Cemetery. Mr. Durham is survived by a father, Mr. Henry Durham, who lives in Philadelphia, and two brothers, A. H. Durham, who resides in New York, and M. O. Durham, who resides abroad. At the Consecration of the African Bishop, the Right Reverend Theophilus Monolu Gardiner, D.D., as Bishop-Suffragan of Liberia, West Africa, Church of the Incarnation By PERCY BRYAN The greatest thrill of my life, with the exception of the international convention of August last year, I experienced today when the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church of America, Bishop Turtle, assisted Bishop Overs of Liberia, Lord and Mainning of New York. Bishop Galling of Tennessee and Matthews of New Jersey, laid their hands on the head of a full-blooded Negro, delegating the authority and work of a bishop in the church of God in the column words "Receive the Holy Ghost for the office and work of a bishop committed unto by the imposition of our hands. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, amen. And remember that thou lift the grace of God, which is given thee by this imposition of our hands, for God hath given the spirit of fear but of power and love and soberness." The services were impressive and simple. The Rev. P. Wilson Elliott acted as chaplain to the swety-conserved chapel. Mr. Elliott, at one time missionary to Liberia, is now the High Commissioner of the Universal Music Industry Foundation. Here he represented the congregation, representing the blacks and whites alike equally. Bishop Gregg in his sermon said: "If the race problem were to be solved from a religious point of view it was by changing the popular conception of God, that is in acknowledging the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man, not as a line theory, but put it to the test of practice. Any other course," declared the preacher, "would make the man a man of mankind." He appealed to the church to lay more emphasis on that fact, the color of a man's skin and the texture of his hair could not bar him in the light of common intelligence least more in the face of the challenge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The order of services were as follows: 54. Processional—Hyphne 494 and 121. (d) The Consent of the Standing Committee—Mr. Jones William, theological evident native of Hayfield. 4. Consolation. 7. Residuation and Retrospectual. My racial affiliation causes me to be prejudiced against the people of our hand unto God, and prince, whom come out of the very tap, and may God go before with his grandson favors and further him, with his sentimental help that he keeping the charge, he has play simply obtain eternal life, in the petition of our heart and the wish of a humble servant. New Yorkers Protest Loudly, but Cafe Refuses to Expel Mixed Couples PARIS, June 19—The absence of a "color line" in Paris was the cause of an incident which occurred at the Chateau Madrid, a fashionable restaurant in Hels de Boulogne, last night. The Americans included A. J. Stem, New York financier and party; A. G. Heidelbach, former president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Paris, and party; and J. D. Levy, New York merchant, and wife who were accompanied by Harry Pilean Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Goetz and Johnny Martin of San Francisco. In spite of protests, the management faceload to ask the Negro to move owing to the law in France granting absolute social equality. ILLEGAL MEETING OF 7 TRUSTEES OF HOWARD UNIV. OVERRULED WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23—The trustees at their meeting on the 7th inst., to show their displeasure at what was done by the seven members at the meeting of February 4 enraged from the record the entire proceedings. This, however, did not prevent the reorganization of the Law School, which was effected at a later date, by the Executive Committee, which seems to be possessed by the law, with full power of organization. The entire effected, for the new secretary, librarian, professor and newspaper promoter has not entered upon his duties, but it is rumored that he will do so on July 1. The trustees returned to make the president a member of the board after five unsuccessful attempts to do so, and his own appeal, in which he said that he would not be able to look either his faculty or the students in the face if he were thus humiliated, as no other president during the history of the university had been refused the honor of an election to the Board of Trustees. His appeal, however, was a failure. The president's nomination of Frank J. Logan, Dr. Albert, Dr. Dumas and How William H. Lewis in life manner failed of election, and their names were cancelled from the record, as having been brought in at an informal meeting of seven trustees. The proposition to pay to collecting agamy $1,000-a week for fifty weeks out of the funds of the university, whether this agamy collected anything from the University Committee, which refused to sign such a contract, it is reported. It is the original belief that Durkee is not only the thinker of Scott, but he is completely at his heart and can be turned out of the job whenever Scott gives the whistle. There is no longer any doubt that the university with the hands of politicians, and what they will do to an educational institution is always of no means knowledge. BLACK STAR LINE BAND GIVES RE- MARKABLE CONCERT The Playing of Verdi's Riggleto, the Wonderful Singing and Artistic Dancing Features of the Concert The concert given by the Black Star Line Band on Tuesday evening, June 21, Liberty Hall, equipped all previous performances by that famous group of musicians. The variety of the concert and the excellence of the performance constitute it one of the most unique concerts ever given in Britain. The songs of Miss Bovella Hughes and Miss Martina Johnson, as usual, captivated the audience. The cornet solo of Mr. P. Kealam showed his accepted mastery of the instrument. But there were five numbers that were unexpected and gave a thrill. The way Miss Bovella Hughes sang "Il Bello," and the band played Venero "Tigliapelle" were a revival to their admirers. The Hawaiian dance by Miss Martha Bryan was an artistic performance. Every note indicated grace and self-presentation. And the smile and graveliness of the dancer added a note of refinement to the degree. The portrayed the soul life of the Hawaiian people. The song by Miss Lullah Handy, in which the dancer down the street, the girl in the top of the hill, the boy in the grass made me feel the warmth of the sun. Ophing "From Greenland to Mountain" .....

CASHIER, SERIOUSLY INJURED BY RAILROAD TRAIN Miss Naomi Spencer the pennant-catcher of the T. W. C. A. caffettini of Harlem, fall in under a move, on her Sunday, sailing back to Harlem she settled in one or two power lime-wings cut out by the Braithwaite of the firm in company with the Boston, Boston Varsay. Miss Spencer, aligned from the frigate of Gullah and parrot-eighth, strolled to Boston. Marian thought that the ship was too small and would be. If she were downward, or warring while she was aboard, Garden meeting had been thoroughly advertised and Madison Square Galden had been hired. One would naturally suppose that under conditions mentioned the Universal Negro Improvement Association would be heavily involved in debt at the opening of the convention. But on the contrary all of the expense for organizing and sending literature to new divisions had been taken care of, all the expense of advertising and arranging for the convention and Madison Square Garden meeting had been taken care of, and when the gavel sounded for the opening of the convention the U.N.E.A. had a few thousand dollars in the bank and the assets exceeded the liabilities by several thousand dollars. That we regard as a financial achievement, as a remarkable business feat. It required business ability of a high order to approach such a tremendous convention solvent and not bankrupt. Then Dr. Du Bois says that Marcus Garvey lacks poise. That depends upon what one means by poise. If to be fossilized, hard-shelled, skeptical, conservative, conventional and reactionary indicates poise and if to possess imagination, initiative, audacity, courage and energy indicates a lack of poise, then Marcus Garvey lacks poise. According to Dr. Du Bois' reasoning, Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Socrates, the Apostle Paul, Athanasius, Copernicus, Christopher Columbus, John Huss, Bishops Latimer and Ridley, Martin Luther, John Knox, John Milton, Oliver Cromwell, George Washington, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Olsa, Hancock, Robert Fulton, John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, Col. T. W. Higginson, Gerrit Smith, Frank Sanborn, Theodore Parker, Henry Ward Beecher, Thomas Starr King, Toussaint L'Ouvert, Frederick Douglass, Richard Wagner and Ralph Waldo Emerson lacked poise. Possibly even Jesus of Nazareth lacked poise. These men in their day and generation were regarded as lacking poise because they got out of the conventional ruts and grooves and blazed new paths in science, music, religion, politics and society. The fanatics of one generation become the heroes of the next. The fanatics of one generation become the heroes of the next. And history may yet dub Dr. Du Bois as a Job's counsellor or Doubting Thomas and Marcus Garvey as a prophet and statesman. The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are hereby required to liberate our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in the Negro World advertisement. 5. And again Dr. Du Bois invites Bishop Smith and others "to push a wise program," intimating that his is the wise program. But it might be well to let others call the generalizations that Dr. Du Bois has to offer a program and a wise program. THE PAN-AFrican CONGRESS AND THE U. N. L. A. WHILE we do not believe that Bishop C. S. Smith fully wouldress the power of the U. N. L. A., he certainly scored heavily on Dr. Du Bois' "Pan-African Congress" in the June 18 issue of the New York Age. He said then and there: "In concluding I would remind my good friend, Dr. Du Bois, that the suffiling of Pan-African is "of or relating to all Africa or all Amer- rican Africans, wholly African." According then to this interpreta- tion the so-called Pan-African congress of 1920 was far from being what the term implies. Of the fifty-seven delegates at the congress who formerly were Africans—less than one-third. From this it will be seen how how about the congress was of being Pan-African. Bishop Smith replied. It was the poet rather than the scientist who formed Dr. Du Bois that caused him to call a congress, not representative of Africa. A Pan-African congress. 6. Dr. Du Bois mentions Sir Harry Johnson among the well known white leaders who approved of the Pan-African congress. Now Sir Harry Johnson is so ignorant of the culture and scholarship of American Negroes that he declares that he had never met a single American Negro who knew anything about Africa. And he made this statement, notwithstanding the fact that three American Negroes wrote books on Africa which critics put in the same class with the books of Sir Harry Johnson. So if Dr. Du Bois desires to commend his Pan-African congress to American Negroes he had better seek some other sponsor than Sir Harry Johnson. 7. Then Dr. Du Bois says "The Negro Problem in America will never be settled so long as Africa or the West Indies are seats of economical slavery and despotism." Now you are talking sense, Dr. Du Bois, and hard horse sense at that. But who first taught the world this truth? "Twas the Hon. Marcus Garvey. In his reply in his New York Age on June 28 Dr. Du Bols very clearly and assuredly defends and spades this point. He is as Nice as the shipping in Carpentier, the French fighter, but Dr. Bolson also takes advantage of the occasion to make a filing at the Hon. Matthew Gateway. DU BOIS AND GARVEY It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. And Dr. Du Bois is in the process of metamorphosis from a college professor to a practical leader. He was a schoolmaster for so many years that it is very hard for him to stop criticizing and get down to action, to stop sharpening the knife and begin cutting. But his case is by no means hopeless. If he lives long enough he will get further away from cloudland and dreamland and get nearer to Mother Earth and the man with the hoe. President Woodrow Wilson was unable to translate his dreams into deeds. And it remains to be seen whether Dr. Du Bois will go down in Negro history as a prose poet or a real leader of his race. Mr. Wayne: "Mr. Garvey's African program has been dangerous, unprofessional, unprofessible, and for that reason the Pan-African movement has not invited him to participate. On the other hand, we should be prompted enough to give Mr. Garvey the credit of having brought the necessity of a union in business and special upift between all the African people. He is not the man to carry this out because he lacks pride and business ability, all the mute reason, because he Bishop, clerics and others to push a wise program." We have seven remarks to make. There are over one hundred thousand Negroes in Harlem. Scores find it difficult to get apartments and hundreds are out of employment. Why doesn't Dr. Du Bois organize a business corporation to erect flats to provide for homes and to establish department stores and other enterprises to give employment to colored men and women? Instead of criticizing Garvey, why doesn't he follow his lead and build up an organization which will put bread in the months of three or four hundred Negroes? 20. If you seem strange, think: Dr. Du Bois could ignore the Duke, K. K. Smith, if he doubly numerically and financially than any international religious or racial organization. In the world, which has permitted African Americans in its ranks than any other Negro organization, which is more discussed in the world's press than any other organization and you still this congress: "Men-African-born but born in Dr. Du Bois' way of doing things. He should have thought that he was extending an invitation to an ex Nature very rarely endows any one particular man with all gifts. She distributes her gifts among many mortals. She endowed Dr. Du Bois with the qualities that go to the making of a social philosopher and prose poet, but not with the qualities which make one a leader of the masses. She endowed Marcus Garvey with the natural gifts of an orator and the natural gifts that make one a born leader of men. Du Bois' place in history will be secure if he fills his particular niche and Marcus Garvey if he fills his particular niche. Both the philosopher and the man of action are needed in human affairs. But the philosopher often erase when he attempts to criticize a man of action, because big things cannot always be done according to, conventional and cut and dried methods, but the man of genius must blaze out a new path and create new means, methods and ways of achieving results and reaching the desired goal. I did not believe that Mr. Garvey will lose alive sleep because he did not invite him to participate. And he been told he gave a representative, for he would not have given him. He is a man of action, not a theorist, is a doctor of medicine. And we believe that he would be like a fish minister of Dr. Boulac congresses, where there would be extensive speculation, poetic vaprings and plaintive rhetorical program outlined and no practical results. Despite his self-possessed personality, his Harvard culture, his ripe scholarship and his inimitable grace of style, Dr. Du Buis failed to become the accepted leader of the American Negro because he was so self-sufficient that he did not surround himself with men who could do some things better than he could do. Instead of attempting to ride into leadership on the back of sentences that had the rythm, suggestiveness and beauty of poetry, Dr. Du Buis should have been also a field marshal behind the lips, selecting this man for his gifts as a writer, that man for his gifts as a speaker, another for his gifts as an organiser, another, for his gifts as a diplomat and another for his gifts as an investigator, etc. The Hon. Marcus Garvey may not be the greatest scholar and philosopher the New Yorker has produced, his dream of an African empire, with the Rear of Lagos, Duke of Somalland, Bishop of Nigeria and puisne judges modelled after the British Empire and his picture of a United States of Africa may seem somewhat utopian and may look like a far off divides event, but Marcus Garvey, with his Hercules-like energy in the most dynamic personality, the biggest door of death and the greatest man of action that the Negro race has profiled in the Western hemisphere, also like, and of the imperial Trinidad of McGarvey, did its body partner a long Garvey in a World War II and waged its way to its master over a century ago. We never expect to see the fulfilment of Garvey's dream in our own situation. But we believe that sooner in farther brother Montgomery, another African Charlisman will arrive in Africa and will bring the summations for a mighty renalition. Two hundred years after the world is a childish back from the spirit world, we the inhabitants of America are wrestling with Bibendum in South Africa and we are wrestling with Bibendum in South Africa. speech challenges the Caucasian's desire to dominate the entire world. Dr. Du Bois says to the Caucasian: "You ruff my feelings because you think you are my superior." Marcus Garvey says to the Caucasian: "I don't care if you do think yourself superior to the rest of mankind, but give me some section of the earth to have dominion over. You may have the rest of the world, but give me Africa." But whether the issue be fought out in America or Africa, the problem is one and the same. Shall the Caucasian regard the Ethiopian as an individual or as the member of a class? Shall the attitude of the Georgian and Oklahoma, that nr matter how cultured, refined, noble, valorous, prosperous and efficient a black man becomes, he is still "nigger" and must be strung up to the limb of a tree or riddled with bullets if he thinks he is a man and not a nigger dominate the world? The black man's answer should be the immortal words of Terence, Rome's tawny colored poet: Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto, which being translated means "I am a man and I think that nothing that is common to humanity is foreign to me."

There was a time when seek and as harmless as the proverbialing to think. ONE problem in mechanics in our school days was "What would happen if an irresistible body had a head-on collision with an immovable object." That problem is being worked out in St. Philip's Episcopal Church of New York, the richest Negro church in America. Curate Daniels is the irresistible body, Rector Bishop the immovable object. Rector Bishop has been the wise and sagacious pastor for over thirty years and is now approaching the scriptural limit of three score and ten. Seventeen years ago he took on as curate Rev. Daniels, who was brilliant, forceful and magnetic, rendered faithful and efficient service and built up a wonderful Sunday school and a strong following among the young men. In the natural course of evolution Rector Bishop would retire as pastor emeritus and Curate Daniels would be elevated to the rectorship. But the wicked ones say that Dr. Bishop desires to establish a Bishop dynasty in the church and have his son, who is pastoring in Harrisburg, succeed him as rector. Consequently he informed Bishop Manning that Rev. Daniels is persona non grata to him and troubles him like an aching tooth. The majority of the vestry have lined up behind Rector Bishop, but the majority of the members, especially the younger group, have lined up behind Curate Daniels. It will be a battle royal, with the odds slightly in favor of Curate Daniels because Rector Bishop is somewhat premature in laying his cards on the table and exposing his hand. The prestige, standing and pull of the rector are matched against the brilliancy, efficiency and forcefulness of the curate. Dr. Bishop's case is like that of Jack Dempsey. He has won many victories in the past, but is now up against a real man who possesses brains and courage and has a powerful public sentiment behind him. Bishop Manning has a real problem on his hands which will tax his mind like a problem in integral and differential calculus, vector analysis and quarternials. There was a time when black Episcopalians were as meek and as harmless as the proverbial lamb, but now they are beginning to think.

Marcos Garvey, and wish him God-speed in his work for our people. On May we had the pleasure of having with us Rev. Weston, of Boston. His address was very inspiring, and with the assistance of local talent here our mass meeting for that evening was a decided success. The following Sunday we heard a few encouraging remarks from Mr. Gaston, of Providence, R. I., and he reported to us the wonderful work of our movement being carried on in that city. The Lads, May three of our officers were called to Boston to attend a conference held there to interest different brancher about the Patriotic Fund. Rev. Duval, who has been appointed by the parent body, expects to visit our city the first part of July. Our juvenile department is growing rapidly and the children are much interested in helping us make the movement a success. Mr. Solomon Plastic gave a lecture here June 8. He came in the interest of the Black Cross Nurses. His lecture was extra good and we hope he will receive success along his line of work for helping our people in South Africa. We have in our midst three young men, lately arrived here from across the waters. They tell us that in Dominica they have 5,000 members. We are planning for wonderful meetings before August and later we will inform you of them. We only hope and trust to gain many more members to our division. If it is possible, we shall attempt to form other branches in our immediate situation. One God, One Aim, One Dastay, LENA PORTER, Reporter. OROBESE, President. June 31, 1932. June 18, 1932. GARVEYISM A CULT The Editor Negro World: Dear Sir--Permit me in your valuable paper to say a few words of praise to the editor of the Challenge Magazine for his splendid article in the June issue of the Challenge on "Gervariam Canti." It is an article that every Negro should read irrespective of his affiliations. With vivid cleanness he predicts that the scoffers of the illustrious Marcus Garvey and his co-workers will be compelled sooner or later to embrace Garvey as their only salvation or be annihilated. Mr. Bridges davases to be congratulated for taking such a firm stand, especially as the motive which inspires him to help adjust the shameful wrongs that so many Negroes, prominent and otherwise, have heaped upon the U.N. I. A. and its founder, is voluntary. It would be a splendid idea if many of our so-called leaders would adopt the motto of the Challenge "Fear Only God," and serve their race faithfully and truthfully. Then indeed, "Shall Ethiopia be stretching forth her hands to God." 222 W. 188th street, N. Y. C. June 31, 1911. U. N. L. A. AT CRICKET Successful in Maiden Match A few weeks ago a cricket club was formed by the workers at the U. N. L.A. headquarters offices. On Sunday last they made a successful debut, defeating the Sunset C. C. in Van Cortlandt Park by a handsome margin. Fine weather, a warm sun tempered by the cold, and a pitch that seemed guilty of close sound, combined to make the afternoon play very enjoyable. The game watched with interest by partisans of both eleven, a number of ladies being among the onlookers. Captain Seale of the Universal C.

Devils ruth behind me; With their flirty darts; Thirstening to divide me, Into bloody parts. Nature's clouds are laden With the heaving rains; Ebeneas wild and brazen, Hail throughout the plain.

On Sunday, June 12 and Tuesday, June 14 the Brooklyn division of the U. N. I. A. was favored with an inspiring concert by the combined choirs of Liberty Hall and the above division. Prof. A. J. Ford director. Mme. Fraser Robinson demonstrated her great skill on the piano. The Acme Quartet rendered one of the Marina Garvey knockout hits, and the audience demanded a repetition. The quartet also rendered the "Hallelujah Chorus." Mme. Fraser Robinson sang one of her favorite solos. The audience clamored for a repetition, but received only bows of acknowledgment. A short address by Secretary Lorde of the division followed. Mr. Cogil, one of our ardent members, gave a recitation, entitled "Slaves Singing at Midnight." President Austin delivered a short address, in which he pictured the joy in store for us when we get home to the land of our forefathers and build a mammoth cathedral to see our boys and girls robed in their surplices and, best of all, the archipiopes of Ethiopia, to confirm our little ones and baptise them. He said that he believed that God will give us all in Ethiopia with His presence. On Tuesday, being the regular meeting night of the division, after all business had been disposed of, a contest, "Oratory vs. Music vs. Elocution," was held. Officers and Members—Three contestants. Subject—(1) Garveyism: The Racial Keynote of the Hour. (2) The U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. A. Practical Solution to the Problem of the Protection of Negro Womanhood. Juvenile—Three contestants. Subject—(1) Elocution: Religious or historic poems of inspiring nature. The Choir—Three contestants. Subject—(1) Baritone, Tenor or Soprano Solo, Dust, Trio or Quartet. Legiona, Motor Corps and Black Cross Nurses—Three contestants. Subject—(1) The Advantages of a Through Military Training. (a) The Legion, the Motor Corps. (b) The Cross Nurses and the Nation. Rev. G. Hurley represented the officers; Mrs. Esther Scott, the ladies division; Private Clement, the members; Miss Jessie Cheatham, the juvenile division, assisted by Miss Lucille Germain, Mrs. Joseph Cope for the Juvenile, Mrs. S. Dockery the Choir, Mrs. Enright the Motor Corp. Capt. M. Doyle the Black Cross Nurses, Captain Armstrong the Legions, Much credit was given to Mrs. Scott and Captain Doyle and Mrs. Enright for their noble reading of inspiring remarks. The Brooklyn division is on its way for racial progress. President Austin is doing his utmost to carry on the good work. He realizes that the task is a hard one, having foes on the inside and out. Some of his staff are against him and some for him. He realizes that the U. N. I. A. is God's own movement and it will shine on until the end of the perfect day and when the government of a Free and Redeemed Africa has been established and worms have destroyed his body and his spirit goes back to the God of Ethiopia, who gave it—his name will be counted among the immortals.

Editor The Negro World: Dear Sir—In behalf of the Port of Spain Division of the U. N. I. A. I beg for a space in your paper to assist in advertising to the world the grievances of the Negro people of Trinidad because the local government of the colony refused to allow the Right Honorable Rev. Tobitt to land on the shores of the above mentioned. We feel that of our grand Rev., who is a British subject, is not allowed to land on the shores of British territory on behalf of the people to make public hate, therefore if the British Government does not put an end to the unlawful legislation of the Crown Colony the Negro people, whose intention is to assist their people in every sense of honor, will change to something different. The white people of these places are trying to poison the minds of the Negro people of Port of Spain. We feel that through the official refusal to allow his Excellency to land that that will not hamper our progress the least. We feel that the same vision that the other Negro peoples of the world have caught sight of we, too, have caught sight of, and in spite of all that may follow try to in order to hamper our progress we are prepared to go forward. We the Negro people of this city have now realized the objects and aims of the U. N. I. A. and realizing that the same stand for love, we are prepared to live for the U. N. I. A. and die for the U. N. I. A. We are a people who were long trying to unite our people, but because of no backbone we always fall, but thank heaven that today God and Nature have placed the right things before us which are to guide us through the world. We shall not fall to do our best to support the colony. We are indeed sorry that the BE A HAIR DRESSER Scoop and Skin Specialist We teach you how to make it in pursuits.

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN By JAMES A. WILSON, Charleston, G. C. To discover something new, something actually different from anything else, is a most unusual thing nowadays. Yet this is exactly what the Hon. Marcos Garvey, provisional president of Africa, did right in the United States. He organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I say something new, because all other fraternal societies and organizations are a copy of some one else. It is not so with this one. I am about to speak of and I am going to join it. I hardly knew what to do. At first I was right up against it, and you can imagine how elated I was when, by rare chance and good fortune, I received a copy of the world dated January 12, 1921, and read the article of the said organization, and to justice "o my conscience I must shake off the more I pursue the columns of this per and the speech by the "new Mosque" of the world, the more I admire him as a scholar, teacher and statism. From the very first time I have been intensely interested in knowing something about the inside wORKs of this modern and unique organization that now sta. da first and rank as the largest and the only one of its kind in the world. More then, that I want to learn is how this modern, progressive live wire organization reaches out into every corner of the globe in search of those who need the sheltering wings of it- liberal protection, and gladly and promptly extends the right hand of fellowship to those who need assistance. We can learn many valuable lessons if we join now. I have never met the new Moses, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, but am going to let lose my imagination. I know he is a God-sent man through and through; a man worth while knowing; one of the kind who would go through fire as well as the "Red Sea" for the good of his people; a man of honor, force and high character. In spite of the honor and dignity of his office, I feel perfectly at ease. He is to all the rich and the poor alike. He has no favorites and shows no partiality. His chief concern is how to push the organization of which he is the head still further to the front; organizing his people is his hobby; his capacity for work seems limitless. He is here and there and everywhere, always on the job. I imagine he nevers began a job without finishing it, which is one fact, perhaps the real reason, for his remarkable success in this work. His many years of practical experience in the work have taught him just what to do and what not to C. Yes, he has plenty of brains and knowled well how to make the best use of them. That is why this is called "something new under the sun." You may talk about the Negro. You may say there's nothing in him. But you cannot turn a wheel that the Negro is not in it. You may back his alright rights. You may say you are against it. However, you will find some few Negroes will be in it. You may trace where you will. From the cook pot to the Senate. And when you get there you will find that a Negro will be in it. Respectfully yours. JAMES A. WILSON. Charleston, S. C. A SONG OF PRIDE A weary stranger in a town, I sought a resting place; The settlers would not take me in. But spat upon my face. It is officially stated, says a Central News telegram from Cairo, that the casualties in Friday's fighting at Alexandria were five killed and 89 wounded. At Cairo 18 persons were wounded. HOTEL BURROUNDED From Our-Own Correspondent. CAIRO, May Mk.—When the news reached Alexandria that Yousef Soltman, who had arrived there to embark for Europe, was one of the "times" delegates appointed to negotiate with the ritual Government, great crowds from his hotel to prevent him from leaving. After waiting for him in vain, the people found he had left the hotel in disguise, wearing a European hat, so that he should be taken for a foreigner. They rushed to the quay, but were too late. The bird had flown. A Representative of Eryst It is rather a curious way to leave the country for one who pretends to represent it and who is going to negotiate in its name. The hat disguise, by the way, discredits the alarmist remorse busily spread here that foreigners are in danger. Imposing scenes marked the funeral here today of the man who was killed by the Egyptian Lancers on Thursday. When the procession passed Eagulus home the Nationalist leader came down from his balcony and joined the marcher. More Support for Zaalul. Delegations from the provinces daily arrive in Cairo to declare to Zagul that he is their sole leader; to demand the resignation of the Cabinet; and to ask the withdrawal of their mandates from the discontent members of the Nationalist Delegation. These members, it is now known, left the Delegation in Paris in January because they were in favor of accepting the Mliner scheme. When I heard delegations of notables repeating the cry, "Down with Adlys Cabinet," which had hitherto been confined to street demonstrators, it was a fresh revelation of the strength of Egypt's feeling. One telegram of adhesion to Zagul was sent to 210 teachers—a particularly significant message in view of the fact that the vast majority of them are Government servants. HOW ENGLAND TREATS THE NEGRO To the Editor of the Negro World: Sir:—I lived in England for about three years, up to the time of the great war. That which attracted my attention from the beginning of my stay there was the treatment of the Negro. Employment From keen observation and personal experience I can testify without fear of contradiction that with a very few exceptional cases there is no employment n England for the Negro beyond seafaring, and this only when a white man cannot be had. English captains prefer to employ white foregers, preferably Germans, while hundreds of British Negroes stand around the different shipping offices idle. Some of them will tell you that they don't want Niggers on their ship. I am a Negro nevertheless, and I am proud to be such. This is one example of the treatment of Negroes in England, and perhaps it might be news to your reader, particularly West Indies, being a native of Jamaica, the so-called B. W. L. by mistake. Insulted While. Walking Streets Inmates White. Walking Streets Almost every Negro who had the fortune or misfortune to live in England can testify to the truth of this statement. Negroes walking peacefully along the streets of England on a black roof, that Niggers," the black women, that Niggers," the railway stations, in the street, and other public places you could see very much worse insults to Negroes written by the so-called English gentlemen. Place of Residence In the very many scapet towns where Negroes live mostly, a Negro cannot obtain residence in any respectable district. If he shows his fable and asks for lodging he is scorned and this door closed in his face. This should prove interesting to our West 11th district, for Englishmen who go to the Wearing Good Grils to Grace Girls In England today if the Negroes part a good suit on, the second day it appears in the papers that the Negroes wear good suits to charm the day; they will go so far as to say that you are living of the English girl. But it is this, if there is any charm about it, it is because the Negroes do not bank their money in the public house on drinks. But the day is near when we won't only charm the girls, but both men and girls out of our mother- land Africa. You're Faithfully, A. A. KANAGR, England, May 15, 1821. MODERN SUNDAY SCHOOL LITERATURE.

AA. C. P. applied for a writ in the Pulaski Chancery Court restraining the Btate of Arkansas from putting the death efntence into execution. The writ was gravted by Chancellor Martineau and a restraining order was served upon the warden at the penitentiary, pre- venting the execution pending furthor action by the court. On June & the national office re- ceived the following telegram from Lit- tle Rock, Ark: “Petitton for habeas corpus filed Chanoery Court, which stays execution. (Gigned) Boiplo A.

ENEMIES OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION I believe deep down in this heart of mine that God is in the whole matter, and I shall see the cringing Negroes coming up, but I will be a witness against you—coming with your practice when you have tried to break up the work before he comes back; but thank God, you have not succeeded. I will stand it so long as there is no last day before through his body, and if you stay the lander, there will be somebody else to take up the work. Fear not. "Those of you who are sincere and faithful I am not taking to you. I am talking to those of you who have been trying from the beginning to the end to break up the work. Some of you say: 'He cannot come back; let us return to the enemy', and some of you are right in the enemy's camp work-shrinking then again. God help those of you who are faithful. The next convention is coming on, and let me tell you this: we shall pass over Mount Athos with all its difficulties. Do you not know that not only Galeb and Joshua have gone over to spy the land, but five or six men have gone over to spy the land, and they are coming back with the news. We know that at the great convention we shall be taking another step, and the time will come when the Negro race shall return to the Promised Land—the land that God has given you—the land robbed from you, for God has promised you that you shall return again, for he has promised to be "a light to lighten the darkness", and you shall return to your native land to rule there supreme under the red, the black and the green. (applause.) Counsel General Smith Speaks Counselor General Wilford H. Smith spoke as follows: *Right Honorable High Chancellor, Right Honorable American Leader Right Honorable Members of the High Executive Council, Officers and Members of High Executive Council, Officers and Gentlemen—The High Chancellor has made it very hard for me to follow that speech of his—in fact, I am about spoken out, and I had been trying to escape being called upon. I told all the jokes I knew and I had exhausted all the facts I knew. and, of course, you know, lawyers can speak only on faces (laughter): so I was trying to get out of the job of talking to you tonight. But I want to say this to your I congratulate you that we have got to the place where we will soon see the Hercules Hair Grower A wonderful Glossine and Grower all purpose hair care product whose salts have been piled alone, of dandruff and provide a mild and gentle treatment. 90 minutes for true treatment and also sensitive on how to use. evaluation of the Lord. We will soon hear of the return of our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and we will soon see the possession of the grandest, finest, most seaworthy, elegant ship that ever was owned by black man since the world began. (Applause.) And that ship when she comes down the African coast will be the delight and the glory of the African people all along the coast. Now, the few words that I wish to address to you at this time will be along the line that our redemption is in our own hands, and the redemption of Africa and the putting over of our program does not require so much talking. It requires more action on your part than it does speaking on our part. You have had speakers enough to explain the situation. You don't need to be instructed on the subject; you know it already. You have got to the place where you have got to put up the money—your own money—to make conditions as you want them in Africa. Doctor Stewart spoke of some of you turning back, of some of you withholding your help and your support. There is no turning back. You must either stiffen your nocks to the yoke here in America or go to Africa. (Applause). If you will but put your money into the Black Star Line and provide yourselves with ships these ships will carry you over, and you can see the land spit out, pick out your own farms, if you want them, and come back arrange your business, and go back whenever you get ready because you will have your own ships to carry you. You can find railroads over there for ourselves, you can build macadamized dirt roads you can make automobile trucks of your own; you can build a bridge that will connect you then you can be your own master in your own country. You can hold any office there, from constable to President of the Republic (applause), and nobody to say you "No" if you are worthy and your constituents feel disposed to place you in such position. Now, if you really are serious about obtaining such a country for yourselves, all the connotes on you need to give is to contribute to the amount of money that is required to be expended to help bring this thing about and make it a realization. Money is a more bagatelle in comparison to the liberty and honor and the privilege of being a free citizen in your own country. We have made a place for ourselves in the estimation of the world. The white people of the world have given us a high place. They have given us a higher place than we ourselves believe that we ought to have. They believe that we are all serious about this proposition. They believe that when Marcus Garvey calls you come promptly forward with the money; so much so that they think that you are able to advance the Liberian Government a loan to the extent of $5,000,000. So, the papers we have stated that if the American Government does not lend the Liberian Government $5,000,000 the English Government will, that if the English Government will not lend the amount, then Marcus Garvey will. (Applause.) So we have put you in the high estimation in which they hold you as to your ability financially to do things. Now, shall we continue to so put that it will not be regarded that they have estimated us too highly; that we are unworthy of the high place they have put us in, or shall we stand as true soldiers, ready to obey the command of our leader? Now, in conclusion, I can look back to the time when there were only two or three apartment houses in Harlem that we could enter. Now all this beautiful part of New York is ours. God has been good to us, and just as He has opened up what has seemed impossible, the great apartment houses in Harem so he is going to open up the great courtyard and open up the riches, all the wealth, all the glory of that vast, beautiful, wonderful country will be ours (Applause) Arden Bryan Speaks. Mr Arden Bryant, upon being introduced to the audience, spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, Members of the High Executive Council, Your Excellency, the American Leader, Distinguished Colleagues and Members of the African Congress of the World, Soldiers of the African Republic-to-be, Black Cross Nurses That Shall Take Their Place Beside our Soldiers, Ladies and Gentlemen and Citizens of Africa (Applause). Indeed it is a pleasure to me tonight that I am spared, through Almighty God, to gaze into your sweet faces once more. I have been away from have eight months and a few days, working in your interests — workings hard; but nevertheless I realized it was the will of the people, therefore I bowed before their will, realizing that next to the will of the people in the will and the voice of God. And so I did my duty. (Applause.) I bring you tonight greetings from the great steel city of Pittsburgh, in the western part of Pennsylvania. I bring you greetings from Farrell, in Western Pennsylvania. I bring you greetings from Rodman from Vandergrift, from Braddock and from other places throughout Pennsylvania and other parts of the United States, and the message to you that I bring is to stand fast, stand firm, stand strong, stand with courage and determination and upold the banner of the Unisex Negro Improvement Association, and let the red, the black and the green stand with courage and prevent it from trailing in the dusk. I bring you a message from an old lady. If you please, ladies and gentlemen, who is approximately a hundred-and-odd years old. That old lady, nevertheless, old in years, yet is certainly youthful in vision. That old lady, I can say tonight to this vast multitude, please take the invitation of the great steel city of Pittsburgh to meet me. plause.) That old lady said she was here in the days of slavery; she was here in the days of Frederick Douglas; she was here in the days of Booker T. Washington; she was here in the days of Bishop Turner; she was here now in the days of Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) That old lady said she long prayed for this very movement to come about. She said that God told her that a man would come from somewhere across the seas and he would speak strange things; he would confound the strelcies committed upon the bers of her race, and that man, she said, is Marcus Garvey. And I say so, too. (Applause.) Friends, that old lady, old as she is—a hudred-and-odd years—has grandchildren who themselves are hoary headed and gray. I have seen them myself, and yet that old lady stands firmly behind the colors of the red, the black and the green. A man has vision will frame out of the stonecutter a Michael Angelo; but take the vision away from a Michael Angelo and he becomes simply a stonecutter. A people without vision is sat in to be composed of a crowd of slaves and peons and serp. Give that people a vision and that people will become free men; will become captains of industry; will become commercial lights; will become rulers of counties and the dominators of continents. Vision is the thing that the world is calling for today. Yes, men and women of vision; not only those dream dreams and see visions, but those who are willing after dreaming to become dreams and every possible effort to bring their dreams to pass those who not only see vision, but who are willing, after seeing the visions upon their couches, to rise up from their beds and go out in pursuit of those visions, and who will bring those their party, got together Negroes and this country appointment—he had been in his new衣 so mad that me, God, God not endorses the first two we are not (Laughter.) What are I tell you something else to find and to might be insignificant if it is not so you would you would; but it perhaps a little an idea. Do What say you, young sons and daughters of Ethiopia? Will you not support the Universal Negro Improvement Association? Will you not uphold the red, the black and the green? You have upheld other flags, and I know that the same spirit and the same courage and the same determination that people flag you Negroes, making other people's flags you Negroes, going to exercise and show in upholding the colors of the red, the black and the green. (Applause.) But, friends, the thing we want is men with vision; men with courage, men with determination; men with pluck; men with dogged tenacity. We want men with vision like the Honorable Most Excellent Excellency of the World, Marcus Garvey (Great applause). We want scholars, journalists, orators and great teachers like Professor Ferris. We want men who are courageous and who are steadfast, who will not worship the fatted calf or the silver dollars, who cannot be bought for money or influenced by any consideration to fall down, men like the Right Honorable Speaker of the African Congress of the World. We want men like Toote. (Renewed applause) The call of the hour is for men and more men, not sycophants, not false Sextueses. We want men with courage, men with pluck, men who, when the situation seems as if a great storm is coming to engulf us and sweep us off the globe, will stand firm as a rock, unmoved and unmovable. We want men, and those that shall come before us as leaders must first humble themselves. (Applause). Before a man can attempt to lead the new Negro he must first learn to follow. (Applause). At this point the speaker asked all those persons in the audience who believe in Garveyism unadulterated and who are prepared to support Garvey to the last to stand up. In response the whole audience stood. This, the speaker said, was evidence to the world that they were determined to let neither the forces in the place below nor in any other place prevent the Negro in his onward march toward his fatherland, Africa. Some Negroes, however, he said, are like some of Christ's disciples, who are prepared to protect their parents of Garvey when he is present, but the moment he is gone they attempt to stab him in the back, like Brutus stabbed Caesar. Continuing, he said, in conclusion: But the new Negroes are not going to stab their leader in the back. If any such are found, bring them before the bar of justice and, if found guilty, throw them out. Let us all stand firm and fast until Garvey will return. If you new Negroes who have started the great work here in the Cradle of Liberty, are sent to the attention and the attention of the world to be centered upon you, falter and fall, you are doomed for another thousand years to come. (Great applause.) Dr. Eason Speaks. His Excellency Rev Dr. J W H. Eason, American leader, apoke as follows: "Right Hon. Chancellor, Members of the High Executive Council, Ladies and Gentlemen—I have not time tonight to address all of you. I am one Negro who believes in obeying orders given by the man in charge. Now the next speaker on the program tonight was the Right Hon. Fred A. Tootle, but he slipped up to the High Chancellor and told him he was sick—which he was not—and asked the High Chancellor to excuse him, and, therefore, the High Chancellor called me next and, in order that you may know how to obey orders when orders are given, I obeyed the High Chancellor so that all you will know how to do hereafter. I am glad to obey orders coming from a gentleman of the standing and integrity and solidarity of purpose as you have in the person of the Right Hon. High Chancellor, the presiding officer of this meeting. (Cheers.) "Now, my friends, I am glad you are doing well. It make me feel good always to come to Liberty Hall when I can. Last Sunday I was delegated by the men in charge to spend the entire time in Brooklyn: the same thing this week, and the week before last I spent in New Jersey. It is good sometimes to go elsewhere and then to come here and say how things are done elsewhere. I enjoyed the speech of the great Counsel-General of this wonderful movement, and I trust you caught the spirit enchanced in his remarks. I hope you caught the spirit of the presiding officer of this meeting, Right Hon. Dr. Stewart. He soared in eloquence. Then I enjoyed that speech-coming from the man who has been sojourning in the West. I feel proud of him, because it was I who saw bim in Liberty Hall and called him to the rostrum the first time he made a speech in Liberty Hall." Getting to his subject of "Vision," Dr. Jason said: "You have got to have some vision in this world. If you do not have more vision it will be impossible for you, to give very far, far, and women of vision are the men and women who have raised the world. Take a plasterer and give him a vision and that plasterer becomes a painter — Rachel. Take a sculptor like Bessie and have him sculpt a statue. A man blind vision will hide out of the stonecutter a Michael Angelo; but take the vision away from a Michael Angelo and he becomes simply a dome-cutter. A people without vision is satched to be composed of a crowd of slaves and peons and serpts. Give that people a vision and that people will become free men; will become captains of industry; will become commercial lights; will become rulers of counties and the dominators of continents. Vision is the thing that the world is calling for today. Tea men and women of vision; not only those who dream dreams and see visions, but those who are willing after dreaming these dreams to exert every possible effort to bring these dreams to pass those who not only see vision, but who are willing, after seeing the visions upon their couches, to rise up from their beds and go out in pursuit of those visions, and who will bring those visions that they see to pass, not for their own own primarily, but for the good of those dependent upon them, and, especially, for the good of this great race of ours of which we are all proud. "Now friends, without vision we do not move farther and go backward. But with a vision it is possible to go forward in pursuit of that vision. You have heard about the vision of Dante and Milton; of the vision of John Bunyan, and the vision of Paul and other scholars and posts in times past. You have heard of the vision of our own posts like Phyllis Wheatley and Paul Laurence Dunbar. You know the vision of the leaders of our race in times past, but we are especially interested in the vision that our people have today. Let us consider what kind of vision has the majority of the leaders of our people of today. What kind of vision have we? What kind of vision have our brothers and our sisters? I will tell you the kind of vision most of them have. It is just this: Come day, go day, God send Sunday. All they want is a little place to stay, a little something to cat and a little something to wear and a white man to call Boss John all their days and they are satisfied. They do not want any country of their own. No. They do not want mighty business establishments, like the Negro Factories Corporation and things like that, they do not want any steamships. No. They are afraid they will have to go somewhere. Well friends, let me tell you now, this kind of Negroes without vision are going to perilish where they are. for whether you want to go or where you do not want to go, going is in order and the man who is ready is the man that is going. (Applause. You have got to go somewhere sooner or later, and when I say "you," I do not mean all the Negroes; no, but it may be me and it may be you, and I am not taking any chances; I am getting ready right now. It is a well known fact that this is not our perpetual abiding place. We cannot hope to have it in this part of the world even as good as we have had it. Some of you are expecting to get better and better. They have been expecting to get a golden age to be ushered in where all these folks in power would got so good and so much religion that they would wake up early one morning and decide by the grace of God and by the power of Divine we are going to treat these Negroes right. But as clear as my vision is and as much as I believe in spiritual things and as great faith as I have in God, I know that the day when all these folks who are in power get the religion in this country and other parts of the world to treat Negroes like they ought to be treated, that day the stars will refuse to shine and the sun will be blotted out forever. And so it is up to the Negro people of the world to get the vision and see the thing just as it is and understand it for themselves without camouflage, without foolishness, without trying to fool around, but look the situation squarely in the face. If you look at the situation as it is with Japan rising in power, with the white folks getting together everywhere in the world and "Tulsa" breaking out in the States and in Africa and everywhere else—if you look as you look now and you are not making any preparation. I am nothing else for you but holl and hollation. You may as well see the thing as it is. Negroes fooling around here with a great big hymn book under their arm. Why don't you quit singing so much hymns and do something for yourselves? (Laughter) Great big prayer books under their arms; great big white books Bible all wrapped around them and all the time singing, "trouble over," all the time praying for God to come and take me home, preaching about it is going to be better, better by and by. Now do not mistake me. I believe in God and in singing the songs of the fathers and the songs of our souls. I believe in praying—praying that is going to help God to answer prayer. I believe in searching the scriptures for the good therein contained, not with the prejudiced eye of the interpreters, but seeing God as he is. But let me on you one thing. It is time for Negroes to stop the old-time foolery, put their hands in their pockets, invest their money and get ready to go over home, and while you are getting ready to go over home you better take means to protect yourself because the ghoulish mob is going to cower you tomorrow. (Applause) You may as well see this thing as it is. Marquis Garvey saw this thing a long time ago and began to tell you Negroes about it and what to do about it but some of you heard and some of you did not hear. Some of you heard and said he was crying; you see what is crazy now, don't cry! All Divisions, Branches and Chapters of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION As Also All Colored Churches, Lodges, Organizations, Clubs and Fraternities Are Requested to Prepare at Once to Send Deputies and Delegates to the 2D INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF Negro Peoples of the World TO BE HELD IN Liberty Hall, New York FROM THE FIRST TO THE THIRTY-FIRST OF AUGUST, 1921 It Is Expected That 50,000 Delegates Will Attend All Negro Newspapers Are Requested to Send Delegates Start Preparing Now for the Greater of All Conventions REGISTRAR UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION 50 West 130th Street, New York, New York United States their party, your party and our party got together and voted out all the Negroes and swore that no Negro in this country should have a big great appointment. One Negro got so mad—he had been fighting Marcus Garvey in his newspaper—and that Negro got so mad that he said "from now on for me I will not endorse everything he said. I like the first two things, "God and Garvey," we are not ready for the gun yet. (Laughter.) What are we going to do about it? I tell you some one is already doing something about it. We are beginning to find a hiding place for ourselves. It might seem small; it might seem insignificant; it may seem as though it is not coming to pass as fast as you would like to have it come to pass; but it is coming; it will be here perhaps a little sooner than you have an idea. Don't you know the thing already now brooding everywhere. The Negroes in the Negroes of the world. You must embody activities; you may bar them for a while, but shutting down on them in this place and the other place, but the spirit of Marcus Garvey still goes marching on. The East Indians have a leader who is to them as Marcus Garvey is to us. The Irish in Ireland have a leader that is to them as Marcus Garvey is to us. Do you know that other nations and races of the world have their own leaders? And yet we Negroes are writing in our papers asking who will follow their leaders. I am going to tell you now that when I went into this movement I believed in Garvey and Garveyism, and I am in it now because I believe in Garvey, and I can better understand the things he is teaching now, and so far as the part I play in it as leader is concerned, some of you fool Negroes are not fit to follow Jesus and therefore you are not fit to follow me. Don't think you do me harm by criticizing me and my leadership, because until you get right—until you get a vision—until you decide to have God and Garvey, you need not come near me. Just get your minds clear now once and for all. This is not time for playing; this is no time for foolishness when our race is suffering everywhere; when our women are crying separated from their husbands by the men whom children are crying for their mothers' attention because the midnight assassin has destroyed their human; when blood is running rivers throughout the land; when our people are being, mistreated and when our leader is exercising every drop of his energy to put this program over, and the rest of us working by night and by day to keep the Red, the Black and the Green floating in the breeze. I want to tell you now before I would allow any Negro or set of Negroes to tear down this thing. I will go right to hell now. (Loud applause.) Close Ranks March Forward Close ranks warn software This is a time for serious thought, for steady action. This is a time for all of us to move and to move together; this is no time for dissension; no time for disputes and for faults and failures. Close ranks! close ranks march forward! close ranks! lay down your differences; close ranks! Stand on your foot for a walk; while catch a glimpse of Ethiopia, the star of freedom—the star of your redemption. Stand up erect with eyes instained toward the morning, shoulders thrown back looking like men. Stand up; in your hand grasp the colors of the red, the black and the green, and say to our leader, "Hold the fort, for we are coming." (Applaure.) Talk about men of vision, men of power, men of integrity, men of sacrifice, men of honesty and women too—we are willing to go the limit. I want to tell you now that in Liberty Hall we have members equal to any in the world. I know the toils and struggles of those who are interested in these to keep up your interest and put this thing over. When it comes to honesty, integrity and sacrifice to put this work over the women in the chair, the women around this table make as much sacrifice as anybody else, and all your Negroes have got to respect them or report to God the reason why. When it comes to manhood, strength and intelligent direction of affairs and diplomatic relationship with other peoples go to the Executive Council and the members thereof and there you will find men equal to others anywhere in the world. I will name a few of them: From the Golden Gates of California, where the mighty waves of the dashing Pacific roll in peaceful Harmony and mingle with the dust of the mountains and rocks, comes a man called to the work by His Excellency, stationed at the head of the invisible armies of the Negroes of the world—a man of power; a man of vision; a man of sacrifice; a man of honor and a man of means; a man who has made it in the world. I refer to the Right Hon. Minister of the Legions, E. L. Gaines. (Applause.) Speaking of other members of the High Executive Council I see another called by the preachers to preach and by some of the sisters in his younger days to preach, but finding purpose in preach, but finding purpose in the same poorly paid and dilapidated that the same needered "Bible beaters" "Gospel bulchers" (laughter) he decided to finish in the best schools in this country and read law, which he did to his own credit and to the credit of his race, located in the great city of New York, and when the call came for men to shape and therefore was made the best legal minds in the world to assemble in Liberty Hall he came without money and price and for 83 days set here with us and therefore was made High Counsellor General of this world movement. I refer to the Right Hon. Wilford Smith. (Applause.) You talk about men of vision, man of power, men of courage, man of anchallenged character; men who were somebody before they came here, and who have been something ever since. I want to refer to you to a man who from his childhood up has not only kept his character clean but who has kept even his shoes and his clothes clean without spot; and when it comes to a parliamentarian, when its comes to a leader when it comes to an inspirer of men; when it comes to an example of Christian dignity and perfect honesty, I place him alongside of the Chancellor of the Exchequer of England, alongside of the Treasurer of Paris, alongside of the Treasurer of the United States of America, or any of the other great treasurers of the world. I refer to the Right Honourable High Chancellor, the presiding officer of this meeting, the Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart. (Applicant.) Others have been mentioned lavishly already, and I will not reiterate them and weigh their different points of duty.

MORALES ADDRESS THE CESPEDES DIVISION OF THE U. N. L. A. AND A. C. L The 15th day of June, 1821, when the phylee, named gentlemen visited the Cappes division of the U. M. L. A. may be remembered as a red letter in the annals, of the division. The Cappes-General and his party served in Cappes by the 6:00 a. m. and went directly to the Liberty Mall. During the first time that the division was passed with a visit from one of the dignitaries of the parent body, their appearance elicited much attention among the officers and members and friends of the movement. Hence the learned doctor had informed himself to many of us his equal and equal manner had made a very favorable impression on all present. Attendants were at once made as all the work to be performed during their short stay. It was decided to begin with the inspection of the books. At the time the Hon. High Commissioner for the country had gone halfway into his work, not only the acting secretary, who has charge of the books, but also all the officers present, to realize with whom they have to deal. No (the High Commission) in a five minute, but with apt illustrations, showed the acting executive secretary first how he required the books to be kept. The secretary thanked him and promised to follow faithfully the two and simple directions given to him. After an interval of about fifteen minutes the officers of the division and members of the Honorable Advisory Board were summoned to a meeting to be instructed in the duties of their commission. In a most palestinating and masterly manner the High Commission painted out, in each officer his duty, and how it should be performed. We then proceeded to the reappointment of the officer to six posts made except by recommendation. The first officer to be elected was an executive secretary, Mr. Z. A. Cunselman, who was doing all the work of an executive secretary, but was called an assistant secretary of the division, was elected to the position. The election was moved by Mrs. Evelyn Hayling and seconded by Miss M. O. Dohara, and when put to the vote resulted as follows: Twenty for and more against. He was thereafter elected. Mr. Cunselman, who was also acting as first vice-president, left that office because what he was appointed as executive secretary. Mr. Cunselman joined that Mr. J. W. Haynes, who elected to the poet of first vice-president, and was seconded by Mr. Charles Harrison. There being the countermove, it was put to the vote, when Haynes, two bonds were held up the next time against it. The post was suspended, voted to Mr. Haynes. The election of Mr. Baynes to the one the presidential crested another member, as Mr. Baynes was the chie- fteen of the Honorary Advisory Board. Mr. M. J. Williamson new, moved that Mr. Epiphany Beacon be made chair- man of the Honorary Advisory Board, which was accepted by Mrs. Ida Milla- ling when put to the vote tighten- ing the vote against. Mr. Beecher now therefore placed in the position Mr. A. Nicholson, who was general president for the division, now arose from prison and began to resign his position. Mr. M. J. Williamson moved that the telephone be adopted. He also seconded, by Mr. J. Theophila Brown, and it was unanimously ac- The new survey suggested that a riding and shoring station be acquired at the hom- ewardly high amphitheatre for the very first time in which an estimated million of his work. It was moved from the A. A. Williamson, seconded by the Dearborn, then a leading vote of responsible governors to the Court. Richard Burke, much commendation for making the very efficient presence in the new amphitheatre the drivers in their than they were pleased to be engaged in so pleasant a duty. At the close of the practice Mr. B. J. Williamson, divisional president, called the meeting to order and started proceedings by singing the opening oda, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," after which the chaplain, Mr. C. Harrison, read the constitutional prayer. The president now made a few dit remarks, followed by the rendition of a cornet solo by the high commissioner, to the delight of the friends present. The president now requested the executive secretary to read for the information of the house the credentials of the right reverend chaplain general and the high commissioner. Address of Welcome. At this stage the executive secretary, at the request of the president, read the address of welcome to the chaplain-general and his party. In part, the address said: "Among the dignitaries of this cur-beloved world movement, you have been the first to favor us with a visit, and we hope that it shall so transpire as to be a red-letter day in the annals of this division. "We are all aware of the mighty forces within and without that are working against us, but we are confident that if we are true to ourselves we shall be winnow in the end." Speaking of the distadventures to be confronted in Cuba, the address continues: The compulsory itinerant habit of our people in trying to secure work makes the attendance of our meeting small—out of all proportion to the number on our books. It makes it almost impossible to give that prompt attention to financial obligations by the division; it negates the success of any function; that we may contrain for the betterment of the branch; it endangers the priority of our members by keeping them away from those who are to encourage them in the movement, and in many cases throwing them among people who are criminal to us. These and much more shall are not for the improvement of our movement result from this moving to-and-fro habit. Indeed, the adverse conditions which confront us in Cuba are many. Still like the man of God of old, we can say. Those that are with us are more than those that are against us. This being so, we take courage and go forward. "We are the imminently of the great debt of gratitude we give to you, the leaders of this movement. We first, here and now, thank Almighty God, who has raised us up a leader in the person of the Him. Marques Garvey; we thank him (Mr. Garvey), and we thank you, gentleman, who have so nobly seconded our efforts in this great work of racial uplift. "Knowing, as you do, that process is infinitely more than result, we hope that you will be encouraged in the good work in which you are engaged, with the assurance that you cannot toll in vain. So you, in your higher capacity and we in our humbler sphere, unite to win for our race the recognition of equal manhood, which is at present seriously denied us. May we be less solicited about immediate results and be more anxious about the faithful discharge of the duties incumbent upon each of us, with the sure and certain hope that whatever a man sowth the same shall be as any." "God! 'tess jum in the sight to upnish the dual banners of the cross and of the red, the black, and the green. At the place of the address the reverend and doctor rose and thanked the president and his people for the address of walgreens, and asked the honorable high commissioner to reply to same. Rev. Dr. McQuire Speaks In his reply the honorable gentleman said that they were pleased to be the recipients of such an address, breathing, as it does, a spirit of determination to succeed, a spirit of loyalty to the great cause and a high appreciation of the efforts put forth by those who are at the head of affinity. He was pleased to find things so situated at Copenhagen, and what he saw that day made him feel sure that there is a future for the division. He said he was sure that he saw evidence of three qualities among the division that make for success. He emphasized the fronds for the growth that they had obtained in so short a time. He was proud, he said, to be identified with such people and was glad of his racial conquest. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1921 Now we come to the stage of our meeting which baffles all description. The most insistent effort combined with the most consummate skill, were displayed by the learned chaplain-general in his address. The rich vein of humor, the determination to give a good account of his stewardship, the fervent desire to help his people, dignified by the honesty of purpose which permeated the entire discourse of the doctor, were irresistible, and in spite of the depressing financial gloom now hanging over Cuba the friends at Cespedes, some at great sacrifice, tried their best. Yes, other divisions in Cuba will make a better statistical showing then Cespedes, but if a people's efforts are to be measured by the sacrifice they make, than we at Cespedes need not fear. Too much praise cannot be accorded to our chaplain-general for the brilliant way in which he discharged this part of his duty. No man could do better. What may now be termed the second ceremony of the proceedings came on the decorating of the following persons with the bronze medal of African redemption: Mr. S. J. Williamson, president of the division; Mr. Thomas Rawlins and his son, Master Charles Rawlins, both members of the division. The ceremony was gracefully and beautifully performed. The Rt. Rev. Chaplain General pinched the medal on Mr. Rawlins and his son, white the Hon. High Commissioner did the same for Mr. L. J. Williamson. A few fitting remarks, quite worthy of the occasion, were made by the learned chaplain-general. The Hon. Mr. Arnold Cunning and the Hon. High Commissioner, who are themselves knighted with the golden medal of African redemption, extended the right hand of fellowship to the new recipients of knighty honors and welcomed them into the fraternity. It was indeed good to look at. One of our Cuban members, Mr. Cicillo Mora, gave a short speech in Spanish, which was responded to by the high commissioner in the same language. Our new first vice-president, Mr. J. W. Baynes, made a nice little speech, which he closed by moving a rising vote of thanks to the chaplain general and his party. His grace thanked the audience on behalf of himself and his co-visitors. The new officers were presented to the house by the Hon. High Commissioner, after which the home president made a few closing remarks, bringing a very pleasant session to a close by singing "God Born "With You Till We Meet Again." This, however, did not and the work of the good chaplain general, as on the morning of the 16th he administered the rite of holy baptism to three infants. Many of the friends present testified to the beauty of the baptismal service and expressed their liking for it. We are confident that we are not mistaken when we say that in the financial as well as in the religious side of his duties the Rt. Rev. Chaplain General has unqualified success. E. A. CUNNINGHAM, Executive Secretary for Cerespes Division, U. M. L. THE HARRISBURG, PA., U. N. I. A. ADDRESS, BY CAPT. GAINES The Harrisburg branch of the U. N. L. A. under the leadership of Brother A. A. Jones, president, had a prosperous week, gaining 25 members. Capt. E. L. Gaines, Minister of Legions, spoke in favor of the U. N. L.

MONTREAL NOTES Distinguished Abyssinian Divine Lectures on Future of Negro Race— Huge Throng Responds —Unusual Interest Is Displayed We desire to retract the statements which we forwarded and which were published concerning the African prince in a recent issue of the Montreal Notes column. We regret very deeply that the news furnished at the time was without foundation, and therefore take great pleasure in informing our readers that the alleged African "prince" is not the identical man who is hostile to the U. N. L. A., but he is a celebrated divine, a friend and admirer of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and an ardent well-wisher of the black peoples of the world. This gentleman, of extraordinary intellectual powers, is a descendant of the royalty of the Abyssinian realm. He is touring America in the interest of unification among colored people and speaks philosophically and constructively. He has addressed large meetings in Montreal and has electrified his hearers with a versatile knowledge of Negro history and achievement A Biblical scholar, a philosopher and a dreamer, the Rev. Father Challoughicalise is endowed with a rare gift of the anthropological and ethnological parallelisms of both ancient and modern times. Unfortunately for him, he has lost his eight but even this lamentable handicap does not tend to diminish his tremendous insight into the needs and aspirations of the colored race. It was our good fortune to hear him on Sunday afternoon when he addressed an extraordinarily large gathering in Guy Hall. The meeting began at 8 p.m. President Potter presided. Seated on the platform were Messedames J. Hatter, T, O'Brien and W. McKinley, Drp. D. D. Lewis and A. J. Thomas. Rev. O. Thompson, Messra. H. Dodson and C. H. Esta.

Mr. Dodson in his address reviewed in an able manner the famous "Rastus," by Sir Harry Johnson. Rev. Father Challoughlicallise, on rising, was greeted with prolonged cheers. He expressed much pleasure in being invited to address the local branch. He possesses a remarkable flexibility of vigna, with a power of expression keenly typical of Marous Garvey. Impressing his auditors of his admiration for all Negro organizations, the gifted speaker summarized graphically the ethnological growth of the African tribes. Preparedness, he alleged, should be the motto of every black man. Tact and diplomacy should be the ladders by which the Negro would ascend to heights of eminence and prosperity. Secrecy should be cultivated and great projects of racial enterprises should receive less of publicity. The speaker denounced the falsity and insincerity to African history by white historians. Nicole, Nimrod, Queen of Shaba, are all styled as whites and Anglo-Saxon philosophers, and educators were careful in pronouncing that a Negress was a wench. He gave vivid glimpses of the post-diluvian age, and declared that Africans were free from an opprobious tradition. Morocco, Carthage, Ethiopia, Egypt, Tunia, Arabia, Capetown and the western parts of Africa enjoyed a civilization of incomparable aggressiveness while the so-called dominant race was shackled and enchained. Negroes failed because they did not con- us, Chapters and Branches of the GOVEMENT ASSOCIATION and LEAGUE are hereby requested to of the Secretary-General, 56 West of change of address of the officers J.

It is really too bad we can't just sit down and have a nice little heart-to-heart chat about the NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION. You know we can understand each other so much better when we talk to each other directly. Type seems cold. But since we can't talk it over face to face, just sit right down, read this over carefully and imagine that we are talking to you face to face. THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION As you perhaps already know, is organized to build, own and operate factories all over these United States, the West Indies, Central and South America in the interest of Negroes for Negroes and to be run wholly by Negroes. Now such a program must appeal to every Negro. Why shouldn't it. When these factors are put up and are in full operation, employment will be given any number of Negroes, and remember, they will not be confined to mental jobs. Of course, you understand that there is no disgrace in any kind of work—but there will be positions for clerks, stenographers, managers, superintendents, and so on. will be available when we have all put our shoulders to the wheel and put up these factories. There's where you can help. When we say 'Let's Go' we mean it's all pool our monites and create these factories. What pooling our monies will do and how effective it is, we would like to have you take a walk to 62 West 142d Street. Perhaps you are too far away to walk up there. Anyway, we are operating a first-class steam laundry at that address. There are any number of Negroes employed there—manglors, prazeras, irons, etc., turnipp out plenty of work for Negroes. Then if you could take a walk around the corner to Lanox Ava and 141st Street, you would see there a first-class millinery store and hat factory with any number of colored ladies engaged in the manufacture of hats, trimming, etc.—all of them colored—from the forelady to the errand girl. These two concerns are owned and operated by THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION. But they show what we can do when we all put our shoulders to the wheel. Now, just suppose every Negro in the World bought at least one share in the Negro Factories Corporation! Don't you realize what that would mean? Why, we would be putting up these factories in quick time and our racial ambition would be realized; our financial status would be im proved; the investment would bear fruit. Why, we could go on to enumerate all the benefits you yousef if and the race as a whole would derive. But since you too have vison and are ambitions we know that you have already visualized them. is the prospect of our ambition. It is our birthright. It proves our worth and our position. It is the test of our greatness. To all those with pride in progress it is a compelling force.

Eagerness for publicity,piduity for "white" co-operation, and a growing misconception and intolerance among Negroes themselves resulted in the loss of Protovia which was once controlled by black men, the total loss of Haytt and even in a great reduction of Liberian's territory.

Abyssina is in sympathy with the struggles for racial amancipation. Her welcome arms are being extended to Negroes of the West—not incompetent Negroes, but Negroes prepared and equipped to enlist in the struggle for national independence. Abyssina, he declared, is an independent state; for reference to her record the skeptical may confer with Italy, Great Britian or with the United States. The Negro had been organizing during the last 800 years. An aeroplane is organized in nine days and soars o'er the earth. Great possibilities await the Negro in Africa, but unity of purpose is lacking. Abyssina is launching out on the greatest campaign known in her history, and Negroes of America and of the Western Hemisphere may look forward with assurance to a brighter day because behind it all, there is national independence, legal force and a growing consciousness of the things that crush, but the secret of all is tact and patience. Germany did not expose has secret. The white man, on the whole, is a conservative; so should Negroes be. Abrysina is not fully known among Negroes, because white historians depict Africans as apes and monkeys. At this juncture, the lejurer portrayed the geological structure of Abyssinia, her historic significance, her past and present glories and dreams of a bright future. Self-reliance, intuition, domination of will-power, absence of construction at somebody's destruction, education, spiritual growth and assimilation are among the foremost requirements of the race. Africa's population he estimated at 700,000,000. Africa, as far as 387 B.C., shows in art and science. He gave impressions of visit to the Southern States and observation of the urgency and promise of racial pride, even among colored children. The Abyssinia priest reminds one of Professor Ferris—full of intelligence, philosophy, logic, common series, practical and practicable talk and not, least of all, a magical endowment of wholesome and enthailing humor. We deeply regret that time and space prevents a thorough report of this unique figure and the purpose of his visit. We can summarize that he is traveling in the interest of the Negro race.

(Signed) Capt. H. Mullar. Principal INTERESTING MEETING Mr. Campbell, our special officer, spoke to the U. N. L. A. speaker, Mrs. the Raleigh Division, Respectfully, to the present in the house with the occasion. Mr. M. Campbell, president of the Raleigh Division, in introducing Mr. Campbell, said in part: "Mr. D. Campbell, vice-president, ministers and friend, it is a pleasure to this day to introduce a strong man, whom I have personally in the city of Newport News, where I was acting as assistant secretary for the U. N. L. A. and we were associated in the same office, but now he has closed his office for the war of 1861, the work of the U. N. L. A. and A. L. (Cheers) "To hold Mr. Campbell some eight months ago that I wanted him to go to New York and connect himself with the parent body, because I could see that he was a young man with an ability to do things, and I was sure that he could be a leader, that he should be the leader, and A. L. and he is today before you as official photographer of the U. N. L. A. (Cheers) "Mr. Campbell had no chance with the big Negroes in this town, and all of his propositions were turned down, but Mr. Harvey is a man who will give a man a chance if he can do something. He has returned to the school, but took a chance and is now here as the supervisor of those who tried to crush him. Because when any man becomes head of any department of the U N I A. I it has proven that he is superior to all other men." (Cheira) Mr. C. B. Campbell speaks as follows: "Mr. President, officers and members of the local division in Raleigh: how we to comply with the law in identifying yourself with the most potent organisation in existence today for the Negro. "After a long ride from St. Louis and the parts of the West, it gives me great pleasure to be with you today, and, especially so, because of my friend M. Massenburg, whom I have known for some time, and who seems to be just as earnest in the progress of the U. N. I. A. as he was when he tried to get the job, and the early stages of our acquaintance, and I am sure that, if the people of Ralsham will give him their support, Ralsham division will go on record in the interest of Negro advancement. "This is not my business to speak, but to show you, through an ocular demonstration, just what has been done through the means of motion pictures. But I wish to call your attention to more consciousness for a few minutes. "Intently loyal has the Negro been to our common country, to our stairway, our cherished traditions, and interest of white Americans, and interest of African finger, and we must be not less loyal, but more loyal to ourselves. Race more consciousness marches apace, and we must match apace with it; this is the first and great race commandment. "We have fought every race's battles but our own, from the time that Cripus-Attucks started the revolutionary war on the Boston Commons, through the Boston Tea Party, and the culmination of the world conflict in which the NEG played such an important part, and, in return, we have a reconstruction of the K. K. K. as a reward and peon-go in the South. girls with many places as slaves to others with many idly by, self-contented and satisfied." "Something must be done.

The platform has struck home to our ideals and are on the main line to sucess, we must awaken a pride and compassion, we must awaken a pride and a race as equal and woman, and an impartial creation of Providence.

That is not enough. We may see, hear, think and talk but the same we use our 'handa feel' tongue, and the same we use our 'handa feel' tongue of the ages we remain simply writhers among men. I admire our ancestors, who left the tangible marks of their supremacy in mockery of criticism in the sort of monumenta, tablets, mummies and tombs in Egypt and along the border of the Nile as an everlasting token that I admire the Greek for his philosophy and poetry, commentary of his supremacy; the Roman for his history, rhetoric and law; the German for his ambition, the Jap for his tenacity, the Englishman for his control of men, the American for his dominance and coming into a wilderness and driving out the heathen and plains. I admire him for his kindness for him and his children’s children. But for what can I admire the average American Negro? Is there any particular mark by which I can know his standard? Can I admire one who lives on the generosity of another? Too long has the Negro been an orphan taken care of by charity. He is no longer a child, but has grown into manhood and to provide for himself, and now is the time for him to make his mark among men. We cannot do this at once, but by a steady, conservative, accumulative program by which small means will be put together and make big means, converting into commercial enterprises and cooperative means, we will succeed. I am glad the white man put the Negro out of a job. He needs a jolt to find out just where he is. If you hail a factory and work was short and you had to drop some from the payroll, which could be a drop. And right you are. Each man provides for himself, and in providing for himself he takes in his friend. Now the other fellow must provide for himself. As the revolution of the ages unfolded each man began to provide so that he might be respected, and in providing for himself he provided for his kind. It is time for Negroes to be Negro, and it is time for whites to be white just as long as we can. If we have one-sixteenth of Negro blood coursing through our bodies the law claims that the one-sixteenth is so strong that it makes all the blood in your bodies Negro blood. Strong blood isn't it? Well, we are powerful—so important that they have to build a special railroad station and a separate station; then we must ride the rata part of the town to live in all to ourselves. Then, since we are so much feared by other people, let us be 100 per cent. Negroes. It's the strongest amalgamation on earth! it makes no difference where he is from, he is a Negro just the same. Analyze it for yourself. As long as you can be kept in the same place, then the other fellow can go on-umulated, but the minute you begin to think and act he realizes that the giant is awakening. Then, quoting James Weldon Johnson in part: "The Negro will never get his full rights as an American citizen until he has an organization so powerful that he will deny him his rights or infringe upon them," I say the U. N. I. A. will soon that organization. So let us get on the main line to economic independence and respect and join the U. N. I. A. and the U. N. I. A. and the 40,000 sons of independence who have awakened from the Rin Van Winkle sleep of indifference and march on to independence until the 400,000,000 Negroes will be entitulated with Garveyism, and the world will respect the rights and wishes of Negroes.

HOLDS BIG MEETING On Sunday, May 9, at 2:30 p.m., a big gathering with bright lights assembled in witness the unveiling of our charter No. 187 at the Miramar Theatre, owned by Mrs. Lefebvre, which the kindly lent to us. The program framed for the occasion was divided into two parts; the first part was taken in the Miramar Theatre, the second in our Library Hall. Mr. Austin A. Beenom, president, acted as chairman for the grand occasion and opened the meeting with the singing of "From Greenland's Joy Mountain" which was cheerfully赞扬 by the whole congregation, after which a prayer was offered by Mr. J. N. Callan, chaplain. The bymn, "Brightly Clean Our Banner," was heartily sung while the charter was being brought in by the chaplain and Mrs. W. B. Walry, lady president. The chairman then read the preamble of the constitution and gave an address to the members of the Generalmen. We are gathered on the purpose of having the charter of the Puerto Cortes Division of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. I. unveiled. I am sure that all the members, families and sympathizers of this division will raidice with me because it is another stepping stone for the land of our fatherland. My home I mean the highest land on God's earth, at present the coasts of a dry earth. We have been for 300 years the servants and slaves of other nations and in many countries the beasts of burden, but thank God through our noble leader, the Hon. Marcos Garvey, Providential President of Africa and President General of the United States. Our eyes are opened fully to things hitherto they have been blind." Locally he said: An address in Spanish was then read by Mr. Isabel P. Hipolito. A solo followed, which was heartily rendered by president extinct "Beautiful Dream." That was delivered was also delivered by the secretary general on "Faith." He said: "Mr. Chairman, Fellow Officer, Ladies and Gentlemen. We are sometimes apt to this faith and ballet together. We are like the root of a tree is the secondary to its branches that produce the fruit. We are to be fired at first by belief, then we can reproduce the results by faith. The kind of faith I wish to introduce to you this afternoon is the faith we find in Job; that although we are not afraid to ward stricken with sorrow. You himself confronted by death; and notwithstanding the fact that he was even incited by his friends, relatives and neighbors to curse God to the fable and die, he said. It is God; at him God wished him to curse God; faith he had in his God. We see the same kind of faith in the woman who touched the hem of Christ's garment. We imagine seeing that woman secreting herself into the crowd with such determination that she was finally able to achieve her aim. Christ, the supernatural being, had gone out of him: He turned round, behold the woman and said to her: "Woman, they faith hath made the whole." This is the kind of faith that we should embrace, this is the kind of faith we should live up to. This is the kind of faith that shall enable us some kind of faith. Black and Green floating on the shores of Africa." Then another address was able delivered by the lady president on "Hope." In part she said that our hope lies on the future establishment of our government in Africa. Then followed another address by the vice-president, Mr. Ed. Willoughby, on "Charity." He said: DO NOT pay Money to any one except a duty authorizer Agent or Representative of the BLACK STAR LINE, INC.

We are thankful to Abundance God for the blessings bestowed upon us," thanked to humanity for the interest in us and resolved by the divine aid to be liberated completely ourselves under the honor of the red, black and green. Every white or yellow, could feel like rejoicing in the measure of civilization that we are now enjoying and looking forward to the immediate future, when the Cincinnati, Ashton and African shall embrace one another in the arms of equality and mags, mankind the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. My subject is "Liberty." Throughout the ages of humanity the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. St. Paul, in the Friary to the Galatians, said: 'Stand fast in the wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the roke of bondage.' Oliver Cromwell of England dehard: 'Liberty for the English citizen.' The colonists of North America, now known as the United States of America, the greatest of the able leadership of George Washington, declared for liberty or death. The republics of South and Central America, all bear on their cost of areas the word 'libert,' which means liberty. God had desired us to be free. Man that was so made a little lower than the angela, crowned with glory and honor. We in all ages that he has been able to do may have liberty. I am indeed glad that we are awakened to race consciousness, race determination so we shall no longer be hindered, but shall go around the world." Next on the program was an address by Miss A. Cain. Her subject was "Unwilling," and in part she said: "Mr. Chairman, Officers, Ladies and Gentlemen: This patent that is handed down to this corporation by the able greatest move ever organized by this corporation token acknowledged by this branch into the grand union of the invincible U. N. L. A. Although it bears the name of the invincible, the name alone will never last if we do not individually put out our efforts, our energies and our finance to support it. Dear friend, above all we must learn to love one another; acknowledge one brotherhood, trust in each other, pride of trinity pride; let us not look upon one another as Harbadian that Jamaican, that Carib or that Baliarian, but let us look and ask that is a black person, he is an African, a brother of men. Then the association will be worthy of the name invincible." The Red, Black and Green" was given by Mrs. Gentile, Mrs. Amie and Mrs. Daniels, followed by a reading of an address by the secretary general. He said in part: "Mr. Chairman, Officers, Indies and Gentlemen: The purpose of our inviting you have today is to bear witness to the manifestation which the 400,000-608 Negroes of the world have extended to the tour corners of the globe. The manifestation is based on equality of men and women, and the God. The new Negro of the present era has absolutely and radically thrown off the grip of syphilosis, service obsession of old and has put on the armour of self-dominating courage, feeling himself fully competent to display his qualities openly to the entire universe of civilization. The inviting of the charter today means to us a token of a new covariant by which we sincerely pledge ourselves collectively to our leaders, who have survived and paved the road to our destination, that had been inherited to us by creation. Our idea is to build up our own advantages by education, commerce, industry, economy, etc. Now that we we have the assistance of the world. It is our mission, therefore, to help our people in the more and more important areas, our population, our industrialization safety and welfare, with good faith, skill, we shall be able to achieve our aims and whatsoever the Nation goes to shall be sheltered under.

Yours truly, GOB. R. MERCELINO. Secretary General U. N. T. A. N. 197, Porto Cervo Division, Spanish Honduras, Central America. THE U. N. L. A. IN BERKLEY. VA. It is always a pleasure to any something for the U. N. L. A. and A. G. L. especially those of us who are really almost as to the rafts future. We are surrounded in our community with who are nummed among their fellow world as great leaders of the race, but their announced viewpoint is that they cannot afford to take any part in temporal things with which the race concerns itself. They will not take part in the work of the U. N. L. A. they say, "fighting the ministry." Liberize it be said by some of them that "we cannot afford to dabble in politics." We find that these men were known to speak at every Liberty loan drive, and remained in the field as long as the war lasted and, the bond drives were paid. We know that they used to use their culture for redefinitions of Africa for their people, they will swirl up with an air of contempt and shirk out that "I have nothing in Africa and have no patience with that gang advocating such a mass as that." We know that they race a salary ranging from $75 to $300 a month. We are not jalous of the money he is getting, but we are, embellished by the "puff and pride" he uses in placing himself above the very people he draws upon. He is not a man bearing their groats, their blood crying up from earth to God; he is calmly vace communionism; Jim Crows universal extinction, hurling at the stake of his flick, preventing his face from learning trades and thus driving itself the industrial scale with the criminal protections of the wild lands of the forests, and yet these high-paid men are so first-ahead that it has become a universal cry that "The position is a dead liability so far as an artificial reason and senses are boundless, and the money they get in graveyard is so far as that services to the people are not worthy of what they get, by virtue of their failing to render service." Through the many difficulties we have had staged around us we find, the truths of God's teaching, through the U. N. A. we are still growing and we expect to see a greater growth once we have succeeded without a home and without the assurance of jobs when white men demand them. It is our intention to send a delegate from this division to the convention by all means, and the executive secretary issued a strong plea to all us to comply with the requirements of the parent body.

On the arrival of the Tobitt, he was received by Herman R. M. Seaton and B.

HARRIGAN Since the days of Crispus Attucks, John Brown and Frederick Douglass there was never a time when man of African descent, in public opinion, were ever so conspicuously prominent as they are today. Dating back from three or four years ago you could hardly hear anything about the Negro. You might have picked up all the newspapers, magazines or other periodicals and find nothing saving a few news items talking about one or two having been lynched for some imaginable crime. But today, since the coming of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, now Provisional President of Africa, the U. N. L. A. and the Black Star Line, with their teeming millions of members, their auxiliaries and minor corporations, the Negro has become a "prominent figure." One of the things which has brought about this abundant change in public sentiment regarding the Negro is the way in which this organization is doing things. The Honorable Marcus Garvey, in his wisdom, good judgment and clever foreseeing, has surrounded himself with a goodly number of men of his own type, drawn from various sections of the world, one of which is the Honorable Captain E. L. Gaines, Minister of Legions, who hails from the sunny Southern shores of Los Angeles, Calif., U. S. A. I had the honor of being favored with the privilege of an interview with this notable gentleman on Wednesday, June 13, 1921. An opportunity of studying him at close range. I had always been greatly impressed with his qualifications, having heard him speak on various occasions, read up on his past records and seen his works since his connection with us. But during my interview with him these impressions were fully corroborated and greatly increased. First, he is an able man, a man with all the knowledge, theoretical and practical, which is always so essential to a leader, especially one in his calling, thus showing he was not picked for this position in sympathy, but was bought and selected because of his fitness. Second, he is in earnest. He is not in the movement for personal gain, but, to the contrary, is giving his all to see it go ahead. Like the Apostle Paul he has placed himself on the alter of sacrifice, willing to be offered up for the benefit of his race. Third, he is miser, unassuming and easily approached, which is an exception to the general rule. Fourth, he is doing things. This can more fully be explained if one would stop to look at the size, number and morale of the lesions, Black Cross Hurons and Motor Corps. Compare them with what they were before he slew them open, and you will see at a distance what he is doing. Then, too, traineers present status at the rate they have traveled with what they will be ten years hence and you will be near appreciating the real worth of his man and how fortunate we are by saving him. It behooves us all therefore, to be fully appreciative to follow loyalty, patiently, trustingly, obediently and ardently in his footsteps, giving him all the encouragement, credit and recognition which it is certain he so well deserves. 230 West 243d St., New York City.

He explained fully the meaning of duty, as defined by two great authors, such as McKinley and Dr. McKenna. He quoted widely the deeds of some of the noble warriors, among whom were the names of James Wolfe, Horatio Viscount Nelson and Thomas Moore. The chaplain concluded in a most forceful manner, pointing out clearly that the outcome of duty is sacrifice. He also appealed strongly to the members of the U. N. L.
