The Negro World

FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Before another issue of this paper leaves the press the Second International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world will have risen for adjournment. The delegates, who came from all parts of the world, will have been on their way back to their respective homes, carrying with them the inspiration gained during the thirty-one days sitting of the greatest convention ever held by any race. In going to their homes they most naturally will convey to their people the spirit of the new Negro as given to them by this great conclave. We have decided in Conventio to swing our objects around the world, to convey our aims, our purpose to every Negro, whether he be in Africa, South or Central America, the West Indies, or the United States. We have pledged that between 1921 and 1922 we shall convey the message of hope of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the millions who have not yet heard the cry of bleeding Africa. We are determined that this work must go on. We are determined that there must be a free and redeemed Africa. We are determined that there must be an emancipated race, hence we have laid out plans by which we shall convert the world to the righteousness of our cause. We need now men and money. Out of this convention we are sending stalwart men, men who are truly educated in the aims and objects of our Association, but we want the financial backing, the financial support of every Nehro to put this program through. ing trained and disciplined men as Civil Servants on the field. Each branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to have an Executive Secretary who shall be a Civil Servant. We have done this so as to guarantee the honest administering of the affairs of each and every branch, division or chapter, so that there need be no more fear about having proper representatives in each local division to protect the interest of its members. Out of this Civil Service we hope to develop men of character who will ultimately rise to the highest position in this great movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There will be no excuse for keeping out of this movement. We have made it so that every man can find a place for service. If you are educated, if you are but ordinarily intelligent, you can find a place of service in the Universal Negro Improvement Association; you can contribute to the success of this noble cause. Each and every member of the race must realize that, even though we have laid out a big program which will mean protection for Negroes everywhere, yet at the same time we can only do it when we receive the whole-hearted financial support of the Negroes everywhere. SAYS AMERICAN LEADER IN TELLING SPEECH BEFORE OVERWHELMNIG AUDIENCE IN LIBERTY HALL Mr. E. J. Carr, Former Member of N. Ar. A. C. P. Heartily Indores U. N. I. A.—Says, N. A. A. C. P. Has No Definite Constructive Program for Betterment of Condition and Status of the Negro in This Country or Throughout the World Delivero Another Soul Stirring Ado of Projudice, Ho Saya, Will Be All Recea Stand on Same Platof Political, Social and Economic Equality LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 1921.—Taking as his subject "The Program Is Being Put Over," the American 'leader,' the May, Dr. J. W. Eason, addressed the people assembled tonight in Liberty Hall, his speech being a companion to the one delivered by him from the same rostrum some months ago, entitled "Is It Possible to Put the Program Over?" If there was any doubt in the minds of any of his auditors that the program could be put over—that is, the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—that doubt was completely removed by what Dr. Eason said in his discourse. and military equality that hour the great problem will be solved. Concluding, Mr. Garvey said, with outstretched hand, in a manner appealing to the race as a whole, and with an expression of deep confidence that the Negro peoples of the world give him with in endearcing to carry For thousands of years, he said, the Negro people in the world had no program. All that is changed now, through the Hom. Marcuo Garvey coming upon the scene and arousing the Negro race from its "little nap" it has had for about six centuries. Some of our people, particularly its enemies, had said that it could not be done. None, however, said it was a thing that could not to be done. Dr. Jason again employed, and very timely, the story of the mad dog that was about to make an attack upon a woman with a baba in her army, when a man, seeing the plight of the woman and her child, one planned himself between same and the dog, grappled with the animal, and held him in a firm grip until the dog dropped dead from aseb exhaustion. Pollution and others ran up, crying to him, to the man they would handle the situation, bewildering which cries he had on to, the last. The mad dog on an arm, hatred, prejudice, opposition, fighting and opposition within the race was loose in the land, he said, and Marcus Glavin "stepped up just as the mad dog was about to banish the hopes of an anime race," the black "plumed knight" of the age, and, despite the crimes of other, the champions of the higher education, industrial training and warfare, as the only solution of the problem of the race, grabbed the mad boy by the neck and held on until he was wounded. "God God, the same, one destiny!" This souper breathed the highest spirit of race consciousness, race love, race interest, and closed, with a persecution sparkling with influence and of lofty and sublime sentiments. and military equality that hour the great problem will be solved." Concluding, Mr. Garvey said, with outstretched hand, in a manner appealing to the race as a whole, and with an expression of deep confidence that the Negro peoples of the world are with him in endeavoring to carry out the program of the U. N. L. A.: " Surely, we shall not turn back." in thunderous tones came the quick response from the audience, "No! " "For four years," he continued, "it has brought itself from nothing into a world power. Stop not where you are; anchor not where you are; sall on, sall on, might Ship of States; sall on, sall on, until the Red, the Black and the Green is perched on the hill-tops of Africa." Truly, it was a great night, a great meeting, a great gathering of people in this hall dedicated to Negro liberty and the regiment of Africa. The meeting began promptly at 8:30 with the reading of the Scripture lesson by the High Chancellor, the Rev. Dr. G. H. Stairman, taken from the first chapter of the Islaah. This was followed by a brief musical program, Madam France Bohmann being the soloist, while the Acme quartet rendered some of their choice selections. A goodly number of distinguished visitors and officers of the Executive Council were on the rostrum, and all the auxiliary branches, as the Motor Corps, the Black Cross Nurses and the Legions of Africa, were out in full numbers and in their uniforms. The American Leader, J. W. H. Bacon, Speaks. May it please your Excellency, President-General, Right Honorable Members of the High Executive Council, Deputies to the second international convention of Negroes of the world, distinguished men and women here gathered, ladies and gentlemen: I count myself exceedingly fortunate in being able to be here, and more than an honor that I should be called upon by His Excellency at this time to address you briefly. Assembled as we are in this great open forum, with the eyes of the entire world turned in this direction, and the ears of those who are striving to hear close to the ground that they might catch every sound of the terming thousands assembled here to add their inspire to the world, to make old alike. I am quite sure that the most proud man, or the proudest man, upon this globe could not but feel flattered in having the opportunity of addressing such an assembly as this. I want to talk tonight upon the subject, "The program Is Being Put Over." some time ago it was my privilege to send a message from Liberty Hall to the world, asking, "Is it possible to put the program, over?"¹⁴ I made mention of some instances that went on to prove how and why the program could and should be put over. Tonight I should give a little further along that line and, some things about the program being put over. I want to talk you something, about the program when it is being put over, where it is being put over, how it is being put over, and by whom it is being put over. This program is that we are talking about is a big program; it is a mighty program. It has always been considered, by thoughtful persons of the world, that the bitships of race building is a great business. The program of solidifying the thoughts and the actions and even the very sentiments of a people is a mighty program; and the strength of the power and the intensity of that program is made more startling when such a program is not involved before a hostile world; when people a program is announced in the presence of a potential and unpopulated whole world a program is announced when the people for whom the program is intended are not themselves preserved with such a program. And the people who are the most against the prime supporters. I will put the program over." (Applause.) Let us see what the program is. For thousands of years the Negro peoples of the world never had a program. They imitated things that were done by other people when they attempted to make any program. It all; they imitated the things done by persons nearest to "em, forgett" that thousands of years before any of the civilizations that are now heralded abroad were in existence, they themselves had a mighty history, of which the entire world might just be proud. However, we lost sight of our power to do things; we lost sight of a fixed and a set program. Therefore, it became necessary, in order for us as a race to find ourselves a place in the sun, in order for the seeming millions, descendants of Ham, to rise in the scale of civilization and let the world know that what man had done, black men could do. It became necessary for them to have a program. One part of that program intends to teach the Negroes of the world race consciousness, for when a people becomes conscious of the fact that they are to make progress, other races, like other nations, they soon begin to put forth those efforts that will have a tendency to make them go up and not down. Thus with race consciousness created among Negro peoples of the world, they became disaffected with being serfs and peas, more savwere of wood and planks, and more for other nations. They said that "if we must work, if we must toll, if we must sweat, if we must suffer, if we must shorten our lives, we will do that looking forward to our own complete emancipation and the complete freedom of ourselves, our children and our children's children." (Applause). Thus the originator of this great program, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, aroused the race consciousness of the Negro peoples throughout the world (applause), and as an outgrowth of race consciousness in putting over this program, race royalty, race love, and race pride have followed as a natural sequence. The Negroes of the world proud of himself the todai that created by the same Being who created other people; proud of his woolly hair, his thick lip, his flat nose, and his big feet; proud of his black completion—proud of it, because he realizes "Tleecy locks and black complexion Doth not forfeit nature's claim: Skins may differ, but affections and aspirations Dwell in black and white the name." The program is awakening the Negro throughout the world to real manhood and real womanhood. No longer do we cringe and crouch and bow and beg and pland and cry for an opportunity. We cry out, like Ajax, with the light of intelligence beaming all around us with the inspiration from our leader, and the help which comes from 400. 000,000 black folks throughout the world—we cry out: "Dispell this gloom. The light of Heaven restore: Give us to see: And Ajax asks no more." (Applause.) This might programme of ours is an all-inclusive programme. It includes taking up the Negro race from the depths of degradation to the heights of complete civilization. It includes the first lesson of racial integrity, of racial solidarity; and then it goes up, up, up, until it takes the Negro race up beyond the golden age of Paricles, beyond the age of the Renaisance, up beyond the age when Ethiopia four-fished and Ethiopia taught the world its alphabet. The black man and black women ruled as kings and as queens and as princes; as princesses; for I heard Jehovah say the other day that one day (and that day is now), "Prince shall walk out of Egypt," and "Ethiopia and a nation shall be born in a day." (Applause.) Let us see when this programme is being put over. It is now. Every day, every hour, every moment, this wonderful programme of the Universal New- gro Improvement Association and African Communities League is being put over. Little children are talking about it (laughter); young men are singing about it; middle-aged women are dreaming about it; old women are fighting about it; and good men are ready to die about it (Laughter). The programme is being put over now. It is being put over all through the United States of America. It is being put over in the Islands of the Sea. It is being put over in the South and Central. It is being put over in the South and Central; and, had been back the white-skirt (both the territory of the Referring to the recent deton of the Spaniards by the Moroccan). The programme is being put over. We read the other day of a report of a controversy that put on the British Parliament, chomring South Africa. Wherein one was heard to say that they (the British people) had to deal with these people (the South African government) with a teaming with a hard bank. Another member, who was born in the South African Republic, was by a West Indian Negro living in America, and that American Negro has made these Negroes smart." (Laughter.) Yet another member said: "Well, regardless of where they got it, they have it, and to deal with them you have to treat them as human beings" (Applause). Still another said: "No, we cannot afford to let them know that the Negroes might have come." And I am glad that he said that, because if he had fooled them a little the Negroes might have laid down, by holding him in subjection and by declaring they cannot treat them as human beings, it makes the Negroes there read more of the Negro World, it makes the Negroes get more of the Garvey spirit, and by and by, like a mighty conflagration, like a mighty forest fire gaining in momentum and acceleration as the winds come on, large numbers of black children are being killed and sweep everything from before it, and the banner of the Black, the Red and the Green will be placed on the hillsops of Africa. (Applause.) The Program The programme is being put over now. (Laughter) Where did it start? It started when God said. "Righteousness shall cover the earth, like the waters do the mighty deep." It started when he "made all nations one blood to dwell on the face of the earth." It started again when Jesus said: "Do up to all men as ye would have them do you to." It amouldered for a few brief centuries, when Jehovah whispered to Garvey, and Garvey whispered to 400 million Negroes of the world, "Wake up, and get busy" (Aplause). We are moving now. We are just—the Negroes are just shaking themselves now (laughter). getting up from the sleep of the ages getting up from a little map that they have had for a brief period; opening the down from their brows; opening their eyes; getting their bearing, preparing to march forward. And as they march the programme begins to unfold, and as they march in unity, two by two, others join their number, and the more Negroes that get together in this movement the better we feel, because the programme is being put over. Do you know, my friend, that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League is so clear, and so plain, that even the enmils of the association are bound to say that it is a good program. (Laughter.) They say: "It's too big to start now." They say all that. They say, some of them: "It will be a long time before it is all done." But I haven't heard a single enemy say that it is not a program that ought not to be put over. Some of these Negroes who think they know everything, like DuBois, say that His Excellency, Garvey, cannot do it. He doesn't have done anything, and never will do anything, say that the rest of us cannot put it over. Still other Negroes who think Negroes can never do anything, say. "It ought to be put over, but it can't be put over." But the great thing I like about it is this—Garvey did not ask any one about it. God inspired him, and God led him to establish the movement, and then he came to us and sought our help to put it over. We don't care whether Negroes have waked up or not; we are going to put it over. If all Negroes haven't got enough sense to join the movement and help put it over, we will put it over anyhow without their help. Some of these folks who sought to be helping are the ones who are Negroes, and they are blocking it. It takes people of grit and daring to put even a program of the character and magnitude of the U. N. I. A. Some of our people have too much sense to put over anything, unless it is for themselves; but when it comes to putting over a proposition like that in which we are enraged, I repeat. it takes men with faith in God, men of courage. The program is being put over How? How is it being put over? It is being put over by individual Negroes throughout the world, each one realizing that "I can count one, and standing for one, I am going to do my part to put this program over. I count one, you count one, another counts one, another counts one, and so on, until five million are all counting for one and it will not be long before this five million will have multiplied itself and become eight million, and then become twelve million and these twelve million will become sixteen million, until finally the number will become the same as the number which John said he saw="an host which no man could number." (Laughter). How, again, is the program being put over? In the next place, the program is a just one, a righteous one; a holy program. It is a program that has in it the complete freedom of a people, the complete equality of a people throughout the world, a program that can stand/the acid test; a program that means to set the Negro peoples of the world free forever. Again, this program is going to be written and is being put over by sacrifice, by suffering, by loyalty, by truth, by bravery, by devotion, by money, and by blood. It is impossible to stop such a program like this. Treatably. I read the other day that a banker wrote a newspaper on children. Rov. E. J. Carr Speaks The next speaker, Mr. E. J Carr,导得 from St. Paul, MN, spoke as follows: Your Excellency, Officers, Delegates and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association —My ride of 1,400 miles is enough to snow to you that I am here to give hearty indulgence to the principles and purposes as have been set forth in the Garvey movement. No race has ever risen—it short, has ever accomplished the things worth while—unless it had a definite program to go by. We have had many national organizations—and I am sure when I mention national organizations there comes to your mind very readily the N. A. A. C P., also the Equal Rights League and many others of less note. But to my mind no organization, whether local, national or international, has ever met the needs of the Negro race so well and so wisely as does the Garvey movement. But for a short time with the N. A. A. C P., but because it did not include the Negro race, I withdrew. I had toed so the Equal Rights League or some other organization reached out I did not give serious thought to Garvey for several months after I heard it, but when I looked into it I went to the little local branch that had been organized and I said to the members I knew of only one reason that would allow me to be an opponent of Garveyism and that would be that I should allow myself to be acquainted by prejudice and I thought I was too far away to just hear that. At last been indicated some of our servants men are guilty of such prejudice (as make little more pronounced than that), knowledge which makes me feel two different things. PUT my afternoon speech, as necessarily our time is limited. I shall repeat the experience which I had with the superintendent and the principal of a high school. The Educational Committee of our Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance made a visit to the Mechanic Arts High School to take up a little question that had to do with some implausentness between a colored and a white student of that school. The colored girl in a controversy with her classmate spoke some words which he did not like, and be said to the girl that if she were down South and talked that way to a white person she would be lynched. The Ministerial Educational Committee went down to have a conference with the principal, and we said to him that we thought such a thing as that was out of place in an educational institution, and that if teachers permitted the use of such language they were more reprehensible than the scholars who made use of it. We said, also, to the principal that if his race had more of the benefits of higher learning it would cease to look down upon our people with contempt and would realize that African people have a gratitude for civilizing the world. I told him that not many of our college president's platform orators and scholars tonight realized when they were speaking of learning and of the arts and sciences of Athens that Athens had been colonized and founded by an African Negro who was its first king and who taught the natives to till the soil and not to depend upon the casual products of nature for a subsistence. I told that principal this in order that he might know that the Hamitic race has contributed a large part to the civilization of the world and the white races are in debt to us, not we to them. We wore the first teachers of the world. Everyone knows that civilization had its birth on the Nile in Ethiopia, and descended into Egypt and from Egypt to Athens, from Athens to Rome, from Rome all over Europe and the rest of the world. I delight to relate this because what we need is race pride, race confidence, race love, and what these facts ought to inspire is to have more faith in ourselves and more respect for ourselves (Applause.) In order that we may play our pride on the stage of action in the world, life there must be unity. We can do anything without unity, and in order to have unity we must have such an organization as this that will spread its propaganda everywhere, not only in some place, but throughout the entire world. For a few moments let me touch upon this one thing. I say we must have a program like the ruling powers—the white powers—of the world have a program, and the largest feature in their program is to keep you down. The white man has a fixed policy and program that he has been carrying out for at least forty years, and that is to reduce to political slavery, industrial serfdom and racial inferiority. And that program, I say, is being carried out everywhere. Benjamin Kidd, a great sociological writer, states that there never has been good government in the tropics and there never will be unless it is demonstrated by others than the natives, and therefore the white man has no alternative but he must go and get possession of the tropics and deal with the natives just as a master deals with his servants. That is the program in their own words. They already are carrying out in Portuguese East Africa that program by enforcing labor upon the natives. Africa is regarded only as an inviting field for enterprise and exploitation, where they can get the products and the cheap labor of the natives and roll up millions of dollars of profit every year. That is the program of the white man—to grow rich over your labor and your rights. They care nothing for the rights of the natives of the tropics; their plans are that the European nations are to grow great by extending their spheres of influence. Great Britain was never great until she won out and conquered the colonies. What would France amount to if you took away from France her African possessions? Portugal or any other of the European nations? They intend to grow great by getting possession of the islands of the sea, and partitioning Africa, and America is just as deep in that program as any of the European nations. And whenever you hear an American speaking about a new democracy and a new freedom, and the right of self-determination, that is meant for the white man, and not for you, and it is our duty to tell our children—the oncoming generation—not to listen to the promises of the white man, because he does not mean to carry them out. They mean to make fair promises to deceive you until you die, and when this generation is dead they mean to deceive the next until they are dead. You must look into these matters: organize for yourself, and have a program and let the entire race unite in carrying out this program. We need men of thought, we need men of vision, men of courage, and we thank and praise God for the thousands of teachers He has raised up to help us to carry out this program. (Applause.) HON. MARCUS QARVEY SPEAKB Hon. Marcus Garvey was the last speaker of the evening. He said: Delegates and Deputies to the Second International, Convention, Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; Again it is my pleasant duty to interfere with, in the best of my ability, the Negro Improvement Association; Association; Association; I look to you, our liberals, a program of freeing, socializing, educationally, in quartzity and baltimore; and 600,000. Negroes of the world. We took to ourselves the program of founding a nation—establishing a government on the continent of Africa. When we started our friends and critics said it could not be done. They argued that hundreds of attempts were made in the past to organize Negroes and failed. They argued that Negroes could not be brought together for one purpose anywhere. They argued strong, and they argued long. Nevertheless we had confidence in self; we had an eternal belief in the possibilities of this race, and we said it could be done. After four years of trials we met in this city in a second annual convention, which brings to us representatives of Negroes from all corners of the globe. They had said they would continue the program we started four years ago, and they have declared that the program must go through. (Applauses.) The program that seeks to emancipate 400,000,000 Negroes must go through. The program that seeks to redeem Africa must go through, and we, as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, have pledged ourselves to see the program through. (Applauses.) Our critics in America say that the race problem will be solved through higher education—through better education that white and black will come together. That day shall never come until Africa is redeemed. If those who (like Du Dois) believe that the race problem can be solved in America through higher education, they will work for higher education between now and eternity and will never see the problem solved. The white man universally has lost control of himself in the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. The white man is about to destroy himself through race selfishness and race prejudice. That selfishness and that prejudice will lead to the white man exclusively in power, as long he remains in political power. If, in military power, in industrial power, in social power, in economic power—there will be no solving of the problem of prejudice between races. But the moment all races stand on the same platform of political social, economic and military equality, that hour the great problem will be solved. Any leadership that teaches you to depend upon another race is a leadership that will enslave you. The race that leads always is always a race of masters and the race that is led will always remain a race of slaves. They have given leadership to our parents and that leadership made them slaves. We have decided to find a leadership of our own to make ourselves free men. (Applause.) The great scabdar, after passing through their schools, their colleges and universities, have thrown away the blessed record of history. Rome did it: Greece did it: Babylon did it: Assyria did it: France under Napoleon did it: Germany under Prince von Blaschke did it: Great Britain under William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, did it: America under George Washington did it: Africa with 400.000 Negroes can do it. (Applause) If you cannot do it—if you are not prepared to do it—then you will die. You race of cohesion of good-for-nothing. If you cannot do what other men have had better. Can you do it? (Cries of "Yes!") We can do it; we shall do it. We have prayed to God for the vision and for leadership, and He Himself is now our leader and He has given us a universal possibility to America, that will not limit our possibilities to the West Indies, but the vision that says there must be a free and redeemed Africa. If we must solve this American problem: if we must solve the West Indian problem, we shall only solve it for the glory of an empire; we shall only solve it for the glory of a great dominion—a great republic on which the sun will never set. If you expect the American people to love you and place you beside them in their homes, you will wait for eternity. Caring not what the great philosophers say, let them be Du Bots, let them be Kelly Keller, there shall be no solution of this race problem until we have a monarchy. Cromwell, the great Ironside, when he saw the people of his own country struggling under the weight of a monarchy that was oppressive, he took up the sword and gave them a social democracy in England. When the French people struggled under the tyranny of a monarchy Voltaire wrote, Mirabale took the stand, Mina Roland took the platform and for a new democracy. When Russia was enslaved by the Czar, Tolstoi wrote, Kersaney took the stand, Trostyk and Lennie took the sword and freed the oppressed millions of Russia. When America was a slave dominion, when America suffered from the injustices inflicted upon her George Washington, Patrick Henry took the sword; he wrote, the cause of freedom, in the cause of liberty; George Washington took the sword and freed America. What they have done you must do or you must die. (Applause.) Great Men I said some nights ago George Washington was a man and not a Christ; Gromwell was a man and not a Christ; Trotky is a man and not a Christ; the great leaders, in the cause of human liberty were all men and not Christ; and tonight we are still living in the liberty that we have done man must do, and must live into your life. I see great warriors rising up in the cause of African freedom; mathiline is in the eyes of some of you men tonight. a Brutus reading in 'his' best art: 'Philippus' in Richard Cetan Lord Lena hearing down on the white skies of Saladin; a Crowd screwing his calls out to INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ENTERS VIGOROUS PROTEST AGAINST RECRUITING OF WAR VETERANS BY SPANISH TO FIGHT MOORS IN MOROCCO Representatives of Four Hundred Million Negroes Inderence Resolution Sent from Liberty Hall to British Press Olistinguladed Visitor in Person' of Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokles Speaks from Liberty Hall Platform—Black People She Declares Must Co-operate with Revolutionary Working Class of the World—Communists of Russia Seeking to Free All Oppressed Peoples—Know Neither Color, Creed, Nor Nation—Africa Must Be Free for Black People Even as Russia Shall Be Free President General Dispels the Idea That U. N. I. A. Indores Any Radical Movement—Extracts the Good in All Governments and Rejects the Bad FRIDAY EVENING, Aug. 18—At Liberty Hall surprises never cause. One of these tonight was the announcement that the Spanish Government, according to a report published on Thursday, August 18, in the New York Tribune, was seeking recruits in England to enlist as volunteers with their forces for active work in the fight against the Moors in Morocco. This surprise was followed by a further, though more agreeable one, in the form of Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, noted Communist and advocate of the cause of Soviet Russia, who was appended to the audience and delivered a masterful address as an announcement to the Moors of Russia and the principles upon which the Soviet organization rests. The announcement concerning the action of Spain and the Moroccan was accompanied with a saxic analysis of the situation, which was vague, who concluded his comment by offering for adoption by the convention a resolution "improving against the collusion of British war veterans for such purposes and appealing to the authorities" in an attempt at mobilization that may result in a world-wide conflict to the further suffering of an already overburdened humanity." The motion, upon being seconded in a short snappy speech by the Moroccan leader, A. Tofta, was carried by acclamation. In introducing Mrs. Rose Parton Stokes to the audience the president-general said he desired to make it clear that while all friends of liberty are made welcome to Liberty Hall, the U.N. L. A. and the convention now in session did not wish to go on record as indolcing the methods of any outside movement, but was glad always to give their representatives a respectful hearing. He held that there is good in all governments, and that the Universal Negro improvement Association seeks only to extract the good in each and to reject the bad. "We are not radicals," said he, "or ultra-radicals. We are simply an organized body of people struggling toward freedom, and we are not going to stop at anything to get freedom." Mrs. Stokes was given a hearty ovation on rising to speak, and in a calm, perfectly composed, resolute manner spoke with clearness of diction and forcefulness of argument. She frankly admitted that she was a member of the Friends of Soviet Russia, that she was also a Communist and believed in the principles of Communism. Bolsheviks like herself, she said, were always glad to be face to face with members of the working class, whether they be black or white, whether they be nationality or religion. She maintained that the trouble with the world today lay with the oppression of the working class by the capitalist class, whom she denounced in the bittest terms. "But," said she, "the working class, white or black, are now being exploited to the extent that the world had never seen so. 'So long,' continued the speaker, "as a nation or a governments permits the few to exploit the many for their own enrichment; just so long as capitalism, with its profit system, of oppression against the masses of the people, is allowed to exist, we must one mission—to defeat, to take the power from the hands of the capitalist class and open the factories and give the land once more to the people." She argued that if the black people of the world would be free they must cooperate with them, and with the factories of the world and fight side by side with them, the same as they are willing to go with the black people in the latter's struggle for liberty. Mia Hicks, concluded by pointing out that the capitalist nations of the world are sambling to gain and keep a foothold in Africa, to exploit it for their own agrandissement, and that, like dogs for a bone, they are going to quarrel over it, just as they quarreled in the last war as to whom should exploit the weaker people. "Are you then, going to give ear yourselves again?" the cried, "the cannot fodder for the imperialistic nations of the world?" To which these came loud responses of "Not" from the audience. The President-General thanked Mia Hicks for her aid and all present, and added, humourously that Liberty first would give her a fair trial, in judging her honour, gathered from her apprehension, we have heard the other follow." The audience joined their appreciation of the folk, and Mia Hicks lauded and took it good naturally. (Do.) Mia Hicks described, in detail, what she quarrelled over. somewhat on the same order as those of the African speaker of the evening previous. He touched upon the views of the natives of West Africa concerning, the U. N. I. A. and said they, ships of the Black Star Line to arrive, and that as soon as they reach there they will the. see what they can do to help further the cause. He said, natively: "As long as you remain here in America there will be room in your house to play, as you pick up your trunks and your belongings and go to Africa, there will no longer be any room there for the white man." As usual a musical program was rendered as an introductory to the speechmaking, equalling the same high standard bitherto set in Libertyville, where he was commissioned, Mrs. C. Little of Cleveland, and Mr. Eduardo V. Morales, high commissioner of the U. N. I. A. in Cuba, played a cornet duet, and Miss Elizabeth Dowden of Hartford, Conn., sang a solo, both numbers being excellently given. He immediately upon the close of the musical program, the President General arose, and said: Ladies and Gentlemen.—I hold in my hand the New York Tribune of the 18th inst. in a published a book from London. I lashed under the following caption: Volunteers for Foreign Legion Must Present Front Line Service LONDON, Aug. 17—British war veterans are being enrolled here by the Spanish Government for service in its war against the Islamic State. They have weaved a large portion of the African colony from Spain, it became clear that the expedition are required to show that they have seen real front line service, and that they are accepted at the Spanish Consulate. The only question asked of the volunteers is, "Can you, and will you?" The Spanish battleship "Alamarate" invaded the troops, and the first draft is expected to leave at the end of this week. A concession is made to their way to Southampton. They will not be definitely accepted or rejected until they reach the Legion headquarters. Seven hundred pesetas is to be paid each soldier who onlists for a 5-year contract, and is to be paid for 4-year enlistments, and the rate of pay is 4½ pesetas per day. This news reveals to us that the Spanish are recruiting veterans to fight the Moors in Morocco. You will remember that the other evening, about four or five nights ago, a bit of news was read to you, telling of the deeds of the Moors. The Moors are endorsing to continue their control of Morocco and to deprive the natives of their freedom, of their liberty. Just at this time our country—that is, America here—is preparing for disarmament and has sent out invitations to all those who want to disarm diseases ways and means by which they can bring about world disarmament. At the same time another great power is fomenting the cause of war, and not only war as confined to any one sector of society, but also through the injustice that is to be meted out to a certain class of humanity. It is apparent that when humanity black there is no respect for their rights and that they are not to be confined to the same class of people should have power and who should have liberty, who should have freedom and who should enjoy democracy. It seems that we are 'living in a very peculiar world, a one-sided world. It has been going one-sided for hundreds of years, and now we can make it two-sided not. ^[APPN1] We want the standards to know that they not only the Moore are offended and out courage, but four hundred million Negroes (applause) felt offended at outrage of the time that they do not want. If the Moors wanted foreign overloadship they would have rebelled against it, and that they have rebelled against it is proof positive that they desire freedom, that they desire liberty, that they desire democracy, like a man, to say to Spain, and to the world as help, that they hundred million Negroes must not in a mood to be involved with just at this time of Apulia. In Latin grammar they may mark in Latin the Spanish, but the sympathy of four hundred million Negroes. They mark in Spanish the world as help. Moors and we are seeing that if they must be disarmment, that it be disarmament that will protect all humanity. We will be disarmment. are about to kill and take advantage of our brethren, our kith and kin, in Africa; for against the outrage, the insult is not only against the Moors, but against black humanity everywhere (Adobe Press). In view of these considerations and the facts I have read and explained to you, I rise to move this resolution in this second international convention of Negroes of the world, representing the four hundred million Negroes of the world. I will read to you the resolution: Be it resolved. That we, the delegates and annual international convention of the Negro peoples of the world, represent the Negroes of the world, represent the do hereby protest against the enlisting of British war veterans by the volunteers to fight against the Moors in Morocco, Africa, in this their fight against the Moors. We believe that the enlisting of such volunteers in England tends to aggravate the feelings of 400,000,000 Negroes in the Dominican Republic, which is by right of heritage belonging to the darker races in Africa, which is by right of heritage belonging to the country, as well as those in exile. For the further peace of the world and for the cause of peace, the English public denounce this new attempt of mobilization that may result in a world war of an already overburdened humanity and be it further copy of this result be forwarded to the press of England and to those concerned. Second Annual International Convention Negroes—Marcus Garvay, President. Speaker Toots Speaks His Grace the Chaplain General, the Rev. Dr. Geo. A. McGuire, took the chair, whereupon the Rev. Fred. A. Toote, speaker in convention, arcs and said: Mr. Chiarman, Fellow Delegates to this Convention, Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to second the resolution offered by the president-general of this great association, and today to shatter one another. If we fall or falter at this time in allowing these Moors, our bethren, without protest on our part, to suffer from the hands of an alien, then we are accessories to the fact; we are guilty, too; their blood will cry up to heaven against us, and I day, in the words of the old parish: "It today we forget thee, let our tongue cleave to the roof of our mouth." for Africa must be redeemed, and 406.000 migrants must be free. (Aphease) The chair then put the motion, and the resolution was unanimously carried and by accalmation, there not being a single dissenting voice. The president-general then resumed the chair, and said: Ladies and Gentlemen: We have with us tonight a lady visitor who has been widely made known to the public by the press the world, as being famous for her instructors devarrowing to free struggling white humanity. This lady has been prosecuted against, prosecuted, and pennounced, I believe, she and her husband, for the cause they represent. She desires to send us to in convention, in her own way. Filipa and Follow-Workers: First I want to thank your president for his courteous in permitting me to speak to him. I want to thank your president for his vlk ika mya comes face to face with members of the working class, whether they be black, or yellow, or brown, or red, or white; whether they be Jew, or Muslim, or Mohammedan, or heathen; whether they be bellarus; whether they belong to one nation or another on the face of the earth—whather their beliefs may be, whatever their color or nationality may be, whether their workers are workers, those who tell with their hands or with their brain for a living. Friends and workers, Soviet Russia is today a government of the workers and the peasants of Russia. The working class of Russia have made their revolution; they have thrown off their oppression, they have been bourgeois, we call them, the capitalist class, those who, regardless of whether they are people of our own color or people of your color; whether they be black or white, or any other shade or any other complication, those people who themselves may be black, or white, or red, or brown, who have the whip and the sword, who have the world over. In every government Mr. President, I beg to say (and I am sure you wish me to express my opinion and my conviction from this platform), in every government on the face of the earth today, and wherever flags a flag, the working class, white or black, are being exploited to the limit of endurance, to the limit of endurance, to the midst of factories, in the midst of technical developments, such as the world has never seen before. We have millions of men and women unemployed in every line, hungry for work, seeking entry into these factories, seeking contact with the machinery of production, and not permitted to operate these machines. Why? Because at some point, the machinery is unprofitable to the few who rule—these individuals, the few who are the power behind those governments—to employ every man and every woman who have the right to work, for the right to work is the right to live. Without work we cannot maintain communities. Without work we cannot maintain communities. Is the condition existing in every government at the present time, and we who are Communists (and I am a Communist, I am a Bolshevik, I proclaim it from every platform where I got the opportunity to proclaim anything, for I believe in the principles of Communists), we Communists maintain that the government permits the form of government permitting the form to exploit the many for their own enrichment, just so long as capitalism, with its profit system, with its oppression of the broad masses of the people, is allowed to come into exploit on the working masses have but one mission, one history to take the power from the hands of the capitalist class and open the factories and give the land once more to the people. (Applaud.) Friends, Soviet Russia has done this thing, and Soviet Russia, to prove her faith, which is the faith of the Communists the world over, seeks not only to free herself from economic and social bypassment and inequality, but it seeks to free also every people, every nation, very race upon the face of the earth. Mr. President, you must know, and fellow workers, you all must know (because you read) that the Communists of Russia, that the international Communists, are setting up a Communist convention, a congress, sitting in Moscow. They give aid, they give unstinted help to the weaker pope, especially the poor. Even over men are oppressed we say there is neither color, nor creed, nor nation. We stand together against all oppressors. It is quite true, rien and women—I admit it; we all must admit it who know anything of conditions today:—that wherever we go there is prejudice; there is prejudice against a man, or a have a white skin, or else is a little darker than I am. We know that that prejudice exists but it知 exists chiefly among the ignorant masses. It exists mainly among those who do not understand that if they, themselves, work together (Appliance). We can have no liberty except in the liberty of all the people of all the world (Appliance). In Soviet Russia they have decided that Perma shall be free; that India shall be free (appliance); that Japan and it is not merely wood, it is not sentiment that they express; they have given or their gold; they have given of their wealth, which represents the labor power of the Russian workers and the peasantry; and they have given of their wealth, which represents the labor power of their very few, all the labor of the darker races of the world. Go East, and you will find the red armies, of Russia, are marching, shoulders to shoulder with the black men they march with the black people, wealth and their labor, but we will give you of the lives when necessary (Appliance). And whenever necessary you will do not waiting (Resume appliance). And I want to have followed them and their work, you will know that we have hard work, a matter of great importance, a matter of self-inferiority, and please that if we ourselves wish to work, if you yourself wish to work, you must cooperate with the workers in the work. classes of the world, so all these men must come to the world, and you must come people wild things you must come with the just as we are wishing and sense to go with you in the struggle of liberty. (Appalahia) Imperialism Frida Kahlo one other thought occurs to me. You want Africa. Africa should be the empire. (Glasgow) But Africa is it not true? You want a free Africa. you don't want an unstyled Africa, you don't (Gries of "No, not"). If your eyes are open to the conditions that prevail under capitalism, imperialism, you know, as well as we know, that the parts of the world so long as capitalism maintains its power in the world. Do they not reach their temples out to the most remote places in the world? Is not imperialism placing its temples away as imperialia today? Is not the great prizes for which capitalism imperialism is contending? Is it true. The Bolshakov, friends and fellow workers, the Communists of Russia, and the communists of the world—and by Communists we then consider the communist world—are seeking to destroy capitalism imperialism, root and branch. They cannot, however, do it without the co-operation of the workers everywhere, as you are workers, inspiring you as live by the labor of your hands, by tilling the soil, or operating a machine, or in any other way arty serve your fellow-men; instead as capitalism explains you; instead as capitalism explains white workers of the world, there is a conflict coming on in the world, and that conflict today overthrows every other element in the conflict of peoples and races and humanity. We We must stand together as workers. We need not seek to place lines; or; I should say, on the contrary, if you prefer to draw lines, if you prefer to say: 'Oh, we are black and you are white'; very well, follow workers. But co-operation, in the interest of your own freedom, is as necessary in relation to the great revolutionary working- class struggle of the world as it is necessary for you to accomplish our own social organization. (Applause.) I am glad that you concur in this. I am glad that you see that it is essential for you, as workers, to struggle with the workers of the world against the powers that oppress us all. We fought a great war. We fought it; that is, the warriors of the world they fight. Did they fight, for their own?

N. I. A. CONVENTION THE delegates to the Second International Convention held in Liberty Hall, New York, have been sitting for three weeks. The parade and opening meeting in the Twelfth Regiment Armory was featured by the local press and heralded by the Associated Press. The midweek meetings have not attracted the attention that they did last year because the speeches were not as sensational or picturesque. But many instructive and interesting addresses have been delivered at the mid-week meetings, and the audiences have been unusually large and enthusiastic. But the Sunday night meetings, with nearly five thousand jammed in Liberty Hall, and thousands standing outside clamoring to get in, have eclipsed even the meetings of last year. Addresses characterized by scholarship, eloquence and seismicating wit have thrilled the hearers again and again. But what is not so apparent on the surface is the vast amount of constructive legislation which the deputies and delegates have enacted. The first week and part of the second week, the deputies and delegates reported local conditions affecting the U. N. I. A. and the race. The balance of the second week the President General and the other members of the Executive Council made their reports. The third week the delegates and deputies began to legislate. New amendments have been added to the Constitution and rules adopted for the governing of the Legislature and the Black Cross Nurses. Since the closing of the convention of 1920, over three hundred new divisions of the U. N. I. A. have been chartered. Scores of new divisions, which have not yet been chartered, have been organized and several new chaparra have been formed. The growth of the U. N. I. A. has been miraculous during the past year. And the work of perfecting organization and the laying of plans for the systematic working of the divisions is a necessary stop in the future development of the U. N. I. A. The deputies and delegates deserve credit for the patience with which they have attended session after session, extending the adjournment time in order that they may lay firm and secure the foundation for the social, religious, political, industrial and economic development of the Negro. The adoption of the civil service means that the U. N. I. A. will be a great training school—a university for the cultural, commercial and industrial development of the Negro. When we consider how the U. N. I. A. with its numerous branches, almost encircles the globe, when we consider its numbers and the enthusiasm of its members, we can realize its possibilities and potentialities. W. H. F. HE Women's Industrial Art Exhibit, which was a feature of the Second International Convention of Negroes, closed on Tuesday, August 23. The High Commissioner General and Mrs. Mary G. Johnson, the Executive Secretary, worked indefatigably. And the needle, art and literature exhibits from America, the West Indies and Africa were a credit to Negro Womanhood, and demonstrate its possibilities. The elaborate work of Mrs. Geo, D. Tobias attracted considerable attention. It is to be hoped that sooner or later the Women's Industrial Art Exhibit will be made a permanent feature of the comprehensive work of the U. N. I. A. Mrs. Mary G. Johnson, Mrs. Ellen Garell, Mrs. G. A. McGuile, Mrs. Smith of the N. Y. Local in charge of the cafeteria, and Mr. Bereasford B. Jennifess deserve credit for co-operating with the High Commissioner in making the Women's Industrial Art Exhibit a success. Credit must also be given to Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Sharplson'Young for the elaborate dresses they made, which made the fashion show a THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1921 HARCUS GARVEY AND NEGRO IDEALISM Mr. W. H. Porris Editor of the Literary Department of The New World. My dear Sir: I set myself to the task of writing the public through your valuable paper, entitled The Negro World, to say just a few words especially after reading the official report and speech of Mr. Marcus Garvey. This speech or report so encourages my future anticipation in the fact that the people of color might find a ransom, or, in other words, a Moses in the last analysis a safe and sane leader. I wish to say to begin that the lifting power of a nation is like the lifting power of an individual, like the dynamic power of dynamics is contained within, so are the lifting powers of a nation, people, or an individual. I am not intelligently informed to the extent that I can speak authentically of the "Garry Movement"—I mean by this, as an individual, not being a member of and corporation, that I have no concrete power, with which I can theoretically my views, but I feel to be safe in saying that if Mr Garvey represents the statements as they are tabulated in his report or speech, that he stands head and shoulder above any other leading man of color in truth, veracity stability and fairness. In his speech I note that he condemns that class of presidents, secretary and treasurers who are grafting in the name of the organization, and that he is speaking out against these characters as well as all such characters, and the thing in him that makes him speak out against these characters prompts me to believe that Garvey is the right man in the right place. If an organization can be fostered and led by leaders who will witty cheat, steal or fraud the ignorant and unsuspecting, to me this is a luminating of hope. I am constantly asked by a number of people and many preachers who say that Marcus Garvey's institution will break down as a fake. I have often replied to many, that if the Negro organization live and survive, such as conventions, associations, and ministerial conferences, down to the local church organizations headed by preachers and lay officials, to my personal knowledge who are immoral, brothers, pastors of great churches, who are conceived by mercenary gamblers, the country, grafters, war masters, the country, including public drunkards—let me repeat. I say to the complainers and to the public that if the Negro church system can stand the test with such characters as leaders, and most especially one Baptist church here in my city, whose pastor in three trials in the City Hall was proven to be guilty of profiteering, whoringenomor and adultery in Judge McCullis' court of last November and not a single Negro Baptist preacher in the town, convention or an association have preferred a charge against said character. But he is regarded as being one of the great leaders in the civil war, according to the Negro Baptist idea. It is to be incredible that Marcus Garvey and the institution that he represents should stand the crucial test, who stands for a higher moral character in every particular of the Negro church, and most especially in the Baptist right in the city where I have lived for fifteen years, in the conventions, associations and conferences. Some among the so-called greatest preachers and leaders of our denomination stand convicted in the criminal courts, others with charges ledged against them covering every phase of criminality from petty theft, felony and yet in the system of our national government according to the Negro Baptist idea. There has been a charge brought against any of these notorious characters by a church association, conviction nor conference. I say a people who will tolerate such leaders are in no position to criticize the dolls or the stability of the Garvey movement, if it stands for nothing higher, deeper or wider than is enunciated in this speech, he should have the indemnement of every wise and well-thinking man or woman of the Negro race or any other people for it is well known that a nation, people or individual can be no higher than their religion or to say, a people whose religion is not to say, a people whose religion itself and cast out public impulses cannot stand the test of modern civilization to say nothing about Christianity. But those of us in the church, it s the Baptist Church, who are strong enough and brave enough to speak out against corruption, are censured and criticized and called jealous and weak- things. If these corrupt, flying hun- mards, prancing acrobats and eating bancays who successfully lead the corrupt and immoral and commotional church people would take more time to judge of the characters that they lead, perhaps they would not glory in the fact that they were representative lead-ers of the race as well as the fact that it is they have eyes to see they could see right the blind cannot lead the blind. I say, if these Negro acrobats in the pulpit or on the street who remind one of an escaped parabite from some mad house, this might think that people are rather here was in the illustrious instead of a�entanized, dishonest, humorous, humorous towards the world's people, expelled, jams, dismal high-pleasure, juggled, jools, drills, traditional illustrious. Not a single habit in their life was up can, but, by good, that their Neighbors, their esparards, their直线, their gallows, their clownings, their gallows, would be the most beautiful. god take note of himself Let me conclude by saying I am for any man or woman of the race regardless to whether I possess these acquired quality or qualities or not. I repeat, I am for the man or woman who stands for higher education, higher morale, higher standard of racial civilization, higher standards of system which seems to be native throughout the country as present, and if Marcus Garvey and his co-oblatives represent this prescribed kind I shall not not ask for 10,000 Marcus Garvey but shall let my lot the 400,000,000 Negroes follow his leadership. Anything for advancement and enhancement is far better than pretension, hypocrisy, delusion and failure. I am P P BAMUEL. Pastor of the New Mt. Morristown Church, 19th and Addison streets, Philadelphia, Pa. REV. GLASHEN COMMENDED Prof Wm. H. Perris, Literary Editor, "Negro World." New York City, U S A Dear Mr. Editor—Please allow me space in your "Indispensable week" to call the attention of the various readers in all parts of the world an article appearing in the issue of the 6th inst in which the former Executive Secretary of the Key West division, Dr A J Kershaw endeavors to "throw light as he termed it on the statements made by the Key T C lisson before the Havana division which statements were reported by me in the Negro World" of July 16 It was clearly stated that "the speaker said in part" and very evident there were a few omissions here and there of minor importance, otherwise the article was an exact reproduction of the speaker's expressions I am not a chief justice. I was not on the scene of the occurrence. I have heard the Rev Glashen speak, and I have seen Dr Kershaw's article, and certainly every man has a right to defend himself, especially in this case. One thing I feel sure is that those who have been following the columns of the 'Negro World' will agree with me that Kershaw has not even begun to defend himself, on the contrary, his article is more a conviction than a defense. There was no such statement made by the Rev Glauben, neither did any part of my article read that 'the maze the division in Key West one of the strongest in the U. B. A. within two months.' Show me the man today who wrote in the word 'couple' (used in introduce my report) confined on all occasions to mean definitely 'two' and I recall to memory the one who would give his life in arguing that eight makes a 'few' because in the time of the deluge there were eight people saved in the Ark, and the scriptures say, 'For many are called, but few are chosen.' Again, Brother Kershaw, if you read further down my report, you will see where the space of seven months we were able tount hundreds of members in Key West. Your saying that the division was founded in August 1900, was stated by Bro Glashen and reported, and more definitely, because he gave the only time that he did. You say that the only time that Glashen and spoke to "ou was when he advised you to take the minton in connection with the "Black Cross Nurses". Why Doe, it looks rather strange at this time that one man should advise another to take money which is also within reach of the former. "The Negro World" are not so easily swindled as to believe that statement. Your article reads that you were arrested without an audit of books, without any charge against you to the body and without your advice. Do you know how to say that the president was only questioned about defaulency? But by the way, Kershaw, in all your elaborate letter, you have not said whether you falsified the $225 or the $25 you mention, neither have you denied going to the crackers and inciting them against the crackers and inciting the readers of the "Nero" novel, needed more "light" on those two points than on the trifles you mention. Now, Brother Kerash, though the time has not yet come, won't you explain for me, "Tooole rush in where angels fear to tread?" Do you really mean that the lynching conditions in your section are so terrible that angels would fear to do the work that the angels have done there, via. in rescuing the Negroes and in making you an example to others for your injunction? Oh, Doe. Concerning the spelling of your name, it is hardly necessary to mention that the writer was to be blamed and not the Rev. Glasen. It appears to me that you only used that to mention about your checks. Oh, Ire. you must be a very rich man to be loading money that way and mentioning them so lightly. Won't you be two weeks, when I rescue Lizabeth? it understood that if I am to take that and should your胶定 any way, then after, then do not you worry to send it. THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE COLOR QUESTION The antithesis of two articles dealing with the race problem has prompted me to letter, for which I beg space in your liberal journal. One was republished by you from the Freeman, under the caption "Force Cannot Solve the Race Problem," and the other was in the Arthur Brisbane column of a Heart newspaper. The first article, written by a purely unbased mind and embracing the most difficult points at issue, based its findings upon logic and logic upon sound demonstrable facts. The second, embracing a false philosophy, science and transcendental knowledge, was in the usual Bribanic style. Mr. Brishane, by comparing figures of the high birth and death rates of the two races, showed a decline in the Negro population as compared with the increase of the white. This gave him the strange notion that "nature is solving the race problem." Then he goes farther and asks colored gentlemen not to be worried about that, for when the Negro spirits return to the earth to reinhabit bodies they will have to take in healthy bodies, which he presumed will be preferable. What a logical absurdity. Mr. Editor, when you read the article, you realize the population of race like that of white and notions is ever fluctuating. The May number of the Success Magazine in an article "Is It to Be Suicide?" quotes H. G. Wella, the great English journalist and historian, as saying that the American tradition has to set the price of over 60,000,000 native citizens who never found time to get born and whose places are filled by alien substitutes," and that "though after a while there comes a rapid fall in the birth rates" The present alarm about the decline of the white race no colored gentleman would have the temerity to attribute to the means of a cruel nature. They know better. They know, among other things, that the everlasting game of bloodhed among the Caucasians have waged among themselves is responsible, while the Ethiopian "legions are approximately 400,000,000." And if in Mr. Wella's view, the people will also reinhabit white bodies, not in all eternity will there be enough of them for the black multitudes. Again, what nature is there so cruel that can determine a whole extermination of any particular race of humanity? There is no nature except that which man himself has diseased can do him immeasurable harm. If he can do it, he cannot be cruel, at least so far as man is concerned. The philosopher who pictures man with birds, beasts and creeping things under the lash of a cruel nature has lost sight of the fact that the materialization of evil thoughts and erroneous ideas is the boomerang that has wounded human nature and is responsible not only for the common misdeeds of life, but even invading bacteria. The great discipline of Kant, the philosopher Bechauhner, thinks evil the positive force of the universe and, because of much suffering among men, they should greet each other not as gentleman but as companions of misfortune. But the point is that nature, who is always true and sincere in her ways, is destined to punish man for his errors; not any particular man, but that the most exalted persons are condemned to work in the ga leys with common criminals. The reason is that life is magnified through the microscope of time and space and performs its role within these ga leys. But the real source of saw tricks played by Father Time Slow but sure: I go up, you go down History is pregnant with these facts The inclination tomitate others is perhaps the greatest psychological power in our lives. Thus we become the children of habit, which infest our lives with its chronic parasites. All life upon entering this planet must board nature's train and for any violations of her laws she will punish. With this power we can also think is the battleground of good and evil and our lives the battleground of these two contending forces, but our ability to choose by reason, coupled with our knowledge of good and evil, decides in favor of either force. The strange part is that the ancient Hobrew scribes believed the same thing as Mr. Brisbane when any misfortune befall any people of their displeasure, and so, like man, he has written from the fullness of his heart. The Negro looks around him and finds that nature is suggestive of good, or in her inexhaustible storehouse there is a need for existence avarice, self-selfless, prejudice, hate, revenge and kindred maitres are the powers of predatory forces. Now, concerning force as a medium to solve the race problem. I, in the light taken by the first article, think it highly improbable and unwarranted. Such destructive forces as the unlawful and violent hanging and burning of human beings, limnoam, distranchism, political and economic segregation and race rioting, together with the instinctively imperative defense set up by the Negro, serve only to aggrate on both sides and prove that animal force cannot solve the race problem. Yet, in the article referred to in the Success Magazine, an Englishman cannot single, only as infervers will they be admitted" and he further states that "such a state's capacity can only be maintained by force". Here, with the actual facts in our midst, we see that the Anglo-Boxon is determined to maintain his "superiority" by brute force, so that the Negro who helped to uphold the sovereignty of light in the race must be the only one who can deliver befitting relief to the race problem. The view that wrings the Negro resistance from the rays of the Anglo-Boxon mind toward him, for it would give the world but public sentiment, which is misleading. Thus the law that destroys it rides the Negro band. force combat force or must be surrogate? He must necessarily produce a force that will react with a powerful psychological effect. But, if he be equally determined to maintain his equality with the other races, he can do but one of three things: exaspiatingly plead for recognition, take the brutal path, or by his own creative forces fashion a government of his own among the nations of the earth. The enemy may patently begs nothing; it takes much and receives little and in that you repay manifold. No race nor nation has ever made its history monumental on a pedestal of sympathy. The second will not bring him success, for, whatever the consequences, in the last analysis race prejudice will be found with its head intact and alive. The third is the surest, safest and only possible means by which he can manifest to the world his ability as a man the Negro remains an appendage of alienation. He be forced, now on one side with segregation and on the other with animal violence, and will never attain a position of rest. It is here that the U. N. L. A. has seconded Alpine heights of the real vision. It has a natural birth. The acorn having been duly sown, the mighty oak seeds forth her stupendous branches far and near and no woodman from without can lay trunk or branches to the ground. Any other deed of property must be instructed to lift the Negro on the same bedrock principles, falls short of its perspective depth and will inevitably be flooded to destruction by the incessant storms of race prejudice. It will be well for the Negroes who follow the trend of the U. N. L. A. as the only reasonable means of racial independence to understand, in the language of the late Lord Beaudeson, of the purpose of purpose." The Negro alone must solve his problem, and he can do it only by developing his constructive faculties along the lines of modern thought and applying them for racial uplift. He will win out only by marshalling his creative forces together for the great march past before the god of opportunity. And the time is now. To keep pace with a material civilization he must be able to materialize, or he will be mercilessly trapped over by the angry crowds in their mad rush for the survival of the fitter. He must also discontinue to believe that after spending a relaxed life redundant with oppression he will golden shod to celestial spheres where he will receive justice, for he may be asked to give an accounting of his stewardship and be found to have buried his talents, and may lose out there also. For the wrongs done to him, he must be made to justice, to justice here and to the geography of a man, nor by the right of his might, but by the might of his right. Therefore, while the Negro remains in a civilization to which he has contributed largely, although he cannot diamas race race, he must demand justice. Race prejudice had its origin in the breast of the first generals family when from families man became tribal, then migrated into communities, cities and finally nations; and so it has come to be known as a univeral kingdom set up on earth, regardless of race, color and creed—until then will there be a brotherhood of man and an end of racial hostilities. In conclusion, the world may well understand that the Negroes cease to be "a continual becoming and never being" what other men are, and will re-ignite what men to his right of a natural existence. C. HOWARD BLACKMAN CONGRATULATIONS W H Fortra, Esq. M. A. Editor Negro World Dear Mr Ferris—Ever since I have been watching the opportunity of holding communication with you, but time was never at my disposal, but the pressure of thought has compelled me to break the bar of time. I would just right here extend to you my warmest congratulations for your successful achievements as editor of the Negro World, especially for its praiseworthy editorials. I warmly congratulate you and all your earnest workers of the U N I A. The God of Heaven will crown your labors with His blessings. The ways of your enquiries will be darkness, their paths will be of thorns and their end will be like that of Jexelbold of old. Rest assured, the traps set for the U. N. I. A. shall catch the setters themselves. The hole or pit digged for the U. N. I. A. the diggers themselves shall fall in, as did fall Pharoh and his host. "Shine on you sons of Africa. Shine, for your Creator bids you shine. Shine from east, west, north and south; Shine till you can shine no more." I am not ashamed to tell you that I am a Negro pure and simple. Ivy grandparents on my mother's side came from the West Indies. I was born in Frostown, Sierra Leona, 80-oodd years ago. I am a软尊 member of the U. N. I. A. in Frostown. I was elected treasurer at our last election at the time of our reorganization, which since then that division of the worldwide association is doing good work, and I am proud to have ever from the so-called "white man" I am very proud to my king and country. I hate everybody that doesn't like or want to see my race rise. Therefore, I hate with perfect hatred, the blacks of the U. N. I. A. In my own subject, I shall deal freely. On this subject, the Black Willis-Zahn on the World, my heart, congratulations to you, unhers and members of the U. N. I. A. Bellas one to remain, y'all Dear Earl--Milly I don't know you in person, but I was told that you visited Sierra Leone, the place of my birth some years ago. My informant told me that he did not know much of your brain work. I never took the trouble to ask him whether you are a pure blooded Negro or whether you are of a mixed blood (muito). Presently this is quite immaterial with the matter I wish to deal with. I shall waste no time on this point. Through the Negro World and from its well written English editors I have got to know of your mental capacity. You are a graduate of two distinguished universities in the world, Flake and Harvard. This being so, you cannot be and you are not a scholar of your mental capacity. I am very proud of your mentality, and I hope you will use it to the glory of our race. Through the above mentioned editorial I have got to know that you are against the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. movement—internally its leader, too. If I am not mistaken, you are the editors of the Orfa, and in that paper is where you are venting your feelings on you. You must have got bedrock facts that I and that is why you are so much affected by association (U. N. L. A.), and as I am a position to know your points of objection, hence I have taken the trouble of addressing this open letter to you, which I hope will engage your very serious and best attention, so as to enable you to send me an early reply. Taking the quality of your education into thought, although it is said that it is not all learned men who are who yet still I shall not believe that you are against this movement merely because you are not its promoter or that you get anything to do with the money you have to believe this you make him to believe, but I hope that you are not so common after all as to make these points your fighting basis. It is very profound received to see that at this present time of national troubles the world over that Negroes should be found divided in any work of construction individually, much more universally. I like criticism that is healthy and constructive, but not criticism that is unhealthy and destructive. We should learn to uphold our another for the betterment of the entire Negro race. I am sure that you will admit that it is the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. organization that has shaken whole white world. I further like you to know that a thing that belongs to *e*whole race or an individual should be careful how his hands must have confess to you, my dear mate, that ignorant as I may be to your university learning, yet still my perception of the U. N. L. A. is such that one need be an immoral being to change same. But at the same time I am open to know of your reason for opposing the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. and I promise to give, or rather to form, righteous opinion on the matter (we on this side of the globe are at a loss to know who the right one is, N. I. A.), but I hope you will enlist me very much. "Be great in not as you see." "Be great in act as you are great in thought." I remain yours.

AN APPEAL FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS To the Editor of The Negro World: Dear Sir--Will you permit us space to call the attention of the public to the plight of the sick and wounded men in nearby hospitals? Last Sunday a committee from the Veteran Corps, 18th Regiment, accompanied by several other ex-service men, visited Fox Hills Hospital on Staten Island. There are about fifty men of our group confined there, most of whom are veterans of the 809th Infantry. These men are receiving the best of care and are well fed, but they yearn to meet their friends and others who might harm them. When an ex-service man becomes ill and is admitted to the hospital, if he is drawing compensation it ceases, and he must file a new claim and be reclassified. In the meantime, he without fund. Such is the condition of many men at Fox Hills today. The War Risk Burden maintains several vacation camps where those that are physically able may spend two weeks. The change of environment is doing them a world of good. Paw men of our group have been able to make a lack of funds a privilege because of a lack of funds to purchase necessary equipment. We found men whose entire wardrobe consisted of a bathrobe and a pair of slippers given them by the Red Cross. We wish at this time to appeal to the public for clothing for these men. Those caring to donate for the benefit of these fortunes may leave their bundes with Harvey Johnson, 828th street, Corona, L. I. or R. B. Lighton, 1193 Seventh avenue, New York City. The community expects to again visit Fox Hills shortly and any one making a donation may rest assured be given those most in need. Yours singly, VETERAN CORPS, 15th INF, N. Y 868th N. A. E.

FERRICO, Author of "The African Abroad" On August 9 the Associated Press announced that Dr. George Trumblum Ladd, former professor or philosophy of Yale, died at his New Haven nomen at the age of 84. The press report reported that Dr. Ladd was a professor to his lectures in universities in Japan, China and India. Dr. Ladd's book, "With Marquis Its to Korea" and "Happy Days in Japan," reveal a penetrating insight into Oriental problems. Thirty-five years ago, long before Japan by defeating China and especially by defeating Russia in battles, Dr. Ladd saw the possibilities of the island nation and encouraged Japanese students to come to Yale. ▲ descendant of Gov. Bradford and Elder Brewer, who came over in the Mayflower, and the son of an Ohio patriot who was interested in the anti-slavery cause, Dr. Ladd was a splendid representative of New England Puritanism. He was not a professional champion of the Negro, but in his philosophical courses and in his private intercourse with his students. Dr. Ladd regarded them not at righ or poor, or white, yellow, copper colored, brown or black, but estimated them by the qualities of soul and character. He manned a Hindoo, Japanese Chinman, Indian or Negro aspiring to master Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer or Lotse, he didn't think that they were indulging in intellectual luxuries which were the divine right and prerogative of the Caucasian. Long before the world war revealed the weakness of the Church in modern life and the drift of modern civilization towards a crash and sordid materialism. Dr. Ladd recognized the decline of faith, heredity and moral courage in the Church and the towing of the moral tone. Ladd later wrote that the atomic theory was supplanted by the electrical theory, through the discovery of the x-ray and the emanations of radium. Dr. Ladd stated that the stomats had not said the last word. Long before the pragmatism of Bergson and James displaced Darwin and Spencer in popular favor. Dr. Ladd stated that by no means had Darwin and Spencer said the last word in science and philosophy. Dr. Ladd scientist and mathematician. Dr. Ladd laid down philosophical principles which anticipated later discoveries. Twenty-five years ago Harvard University had the best philosophical faculty in the world. Everett in theology, Royce in philosophy, James's and Munsterberg in psychology, Palmer in ethics, and Santanna in art were all experts and specialists. But Dr. Ladd wrote upon every phase of theology, philosophy and psychology, and each book was through and comprehensive. Not since Rudolf Lotze joined the choir invisible has a thinker appeared upon this planet who had mastered every phase and aspect of modern thought. Dr. Ladd wrote eight books in which he collaborated his philosophical system in detail. They were "The Doctrine of Sacred Scripture" "Elements of Physiological Psychology" "Psychology Descriptive and Explanatory" "Philosophy of Mind." "Philosophy of Knowledge" "Theory of Reality" "Philosophy of Conduct" and "Philosophy of Religion." Then he wrote two books in which he summed up his philosophy in a single volume. They were "An introduction to Philosophy," and "Knowledge, Life and Reality." Then he wrote nine smaller books in which he attempted to popularize his knowledge. He was a national Polity "Essays on Education," "Outlines of Physiological Psychology," "Primer of Psychology," "What is the Bible" "What Can I Know?" "What Ought I to Do?" "What May I Believe." "What Can I Hope." For one man in one lifetime to produce nineteen books dealing with serious intellectual themes, some of them running to six and seven hundred pages, and two of them reaching to fourteen hundred pages, seems to surpass the bounds and limits of human achievement. What was said of Lord Bacon could more truly be said of Dr. Ladd. "He took all knowledge to be his provisor." Dr. Thayer, the eminent New Testament Greek scholar, said that a man who had mastered Dr. Ladd's "Doctrine of Sacred Scripture" would know more than half of the graduates of our theological seminaries. And that book was written when Dr. Ladd was a student of the graduates and more mature work. Vincent in his book on American thought calls Dr. Ladd the engineer of metaphysics. And he truly so terms him, because Dr. Ladd, by his penetrating insight, and critical analysis, laid bare the fundamental elements, and their synthetically constructed his system upon them. Dr. Ladd took his starting point from Kant, and saw a great deal of worth in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the psychology of Wundt. But he was a disciple of Rudolf Lotze, and resisted the Lotzen philosophy in terms of modern science theology and modern psychology. He implanted Lotze's mechanical theory by the biological theory, and applied Lotze's theory of interaction to the relation between mind and body. Dr. Ladd, also emphasized the thought that there is, no Ding an Nibl of the self, thing or world. But that you know the self, a thing or being by the way it acts or behaves. Hence he retitled the Spencerian agnosticism. Law and force are not entities in themselves, but have the role in the uniformities of the self, lives and modes of behavior of things. Force also is a hypothetical substance. What exists are selves and things which energies. Dr. Ladd produced the behalves that fast of forming Lotze's Microscopes to date and after meet of modern thought, And when we consider that Lotte's Microcosm philosophical masterpiece of the nineteenth century, it will be regarded as quite a feat. Popularity as Written But if these things be true, one will wonder why Dr. Ladd did not attain the popularity as a thinker and writer that Royce, James and Bergson did. There are four reasons. Though kind-hearted and sympathetic, Dr. Ladd was reserved in temperament, and this reason, along with their in his work, James and Prof. Bergson possessed a more buoyant personality and more breasy style than Dr. Ladd. Prof. Royce possessed greater wealth of illustration and a more perfect mastery of style than Dr. Ladd. And hence they could appeal to the general reader, who was not particularly interested in philosophy and psychology, and could dress up old deaths in new language, and be more expressive, and Dr. Ladd did not say the things to give rise to semantical articles. Then Dr. Ladd wrote big books which must be studied, while the modern reader, who has only a passing interest in intellectual themes and a lively interest in the things that pertain to bread, butter, capital, lab and pleasure, desires small books that are easy to read. He reads a novel, monthly magazine or Sunday newspaper. If Immanuel Kau had been born a century later and had produced his philosophical masterpiece, "The Critique of Pure Reason," a century later, he would not have created the furor that he did in his day and generation. The name is true of books by Negro authors. Ten years ago, Dr. Ladd wrote that one reads R. T. Brown's "The Mystery of Space," which is intellectually far in advance of anything the gifted Du Bois ever wrote. Then again, the theological problems which dominated the minds of men in the youth and middle age of Dr. Ladd do not absorb men today. Twenty, thirty and forty years ago, the burning questions were as to how far the new discoveries in astronomy, geology and biology, which showed that the earth was a note in the imminent future, were evolved through hundreds of thousands of years from a primitive state, and the new revelations in psychology and the lower and higher criticism of the Bible had undermined the faith of the Fathers. And the mission of Dr. Ladd was to harmonize the discoveries of modern science with the fundamental faith of religion and to show that belief in God, Freedom and immortality were not assailed by the new sciences. In showing that seventy odd kinds of atoms could not get together, we found that a universe without there were a guiding mind directing them. In building up a unitary conception of the self, in showing that not thoughts, emotions and volitions exist, but I think I feel, and I will, in showing that there is something in the life of mind which transcended the play of molecules and atoms of the brain. Dr. Ladd paved the way for belief in God, Freedom and immortality. But the interest today and especially since the end of the second century, the sociological and theological to racial, social, industrial and economic problems. And that is perhaps the reason why his philosophical masterpieces are not estimate at their full value now. but the failure of Dr. Ladd to get the popular hearing that Professor Bergson and Professor James did was not so much due to inability to write well as to a misconception of a philosophical treatise. His class room lectures upon Lotze's Microcosmos and Schopenhauer's Philosophy and his popular lectures on "The Philosophy of Religion" riveted the attention of his hearers as much as did the famous lectures of Prof. Wm. Graham Bunman on Sociology, and Charles Eliot Norton on Art. Had these lectures with their brilliant illustrations, historical references and comment on present day affairs been taken down in short hand and printed, then the audience would have calculated years of study of the German philosophers and years spent in translating Lotze's Outlines had impressed Dr. Ladd that a philosophical treatise must be formal and dignified. So while he produced more than one philosophical masterpiece, he could have owed them with more fish and blood and made them more vital, vibrant and vivid as James and Bergson did. Final Estimate. While the nine smaller books in which Dr. Ladd attempted to popularize his philosophical system are interesting and readable, they do not reveal his marvelous analytical power and ability to make fine and subtle distinctions to the full extent that his eight larger books do. Dr. Ladd is no means "in obscure matter. He is clear cut and precise in his definitions and never uses more words than necessary to convey his thought. He was primarily in his choice of the exact, and not the Approximate words to convey his thought. Requests he was "very happy and pleased in his phrases. And his tidy style that is appropriate nowadays, his books on "Philosophy of Kappelphaga," "Theory of, and Reflection," "Philosophy of Holiday," and "Philosophy of Love and Reality," which contains a listing of information may be read and studied, when more of the "philosophy of philosophical works" which are the image may be covered with dust on inky pages.

The Universal Negro Improvement Association rules that His Highness the Potentate give a Court Reception once a year, during the sitting of Convention, at which distinguished members of the Negro Race with their families, as also the Honorable Delegates and Deputies attending the Convention will be present for social recognition. The reception this year will be the first of its kind, and is being looked forward to with great interest by the prominent members of the Negro Race. At this reception His Highness the Potentate will confer titles and honors on members of the race, who have distinguished themselves in the service of the cause of Africa. All the High Officials of the Universal Negro-Improvement Association will be present. Only those who have markedly distinguished themselves in service will have the honor of being presented at Court. It is rumored that three or four individuals connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association who have rendered great service to the Negro Race during the last half a century will be honored by Knighthood at this reception by His Highness the Potentate. It is rumored that several popular young ladies will be presented by their parents at this Court Reception. This Reception will set a mark and standard in the social life of Negroes.

Prof. John Watson, Prof. Royce, Ria. Prof. Jambus and Prof. Thayer made of Dr. Ladd will probably be the estimate of postityr. His associates like Pro- fessors and William Lyon, H. Herry and William Lyon, Phleps had the same high estimate. Henri Bergson's "Creative Evolution" is the rage nowadays. Bergson is at present the world's most popular philosophical writer, because of the novelty of his thought and lucidity and vividness of his styles. His philosophy of change strikes people as something new. He then inculcates this in his message appeals to men. His emphasis upon the life and movement in the world, the dynamic rather than static character of Delay, the spiritual ascendency of man and the freedom of the will inspire men as did Prof. James "Will to Bellova." We see regard Bergson and James as greater psychologist than metaphysicians. Bergson is not the systematist philosopher that has been most meat in his writings. And while the form of his writings is more alluring, there is not the substance that can be found in the masterpieces of Dr. Ladd. Of the nineteen books that Dr. Ladd wrote, we regard the "Philosophy of Knowledge" and "Philosophy of Religion" as his enduring contributions to human thought. They are in the same class with Hegel's "Philosophy of History," Buckle's "History of Civilization," Tain's "History of English Literature," and Rousseau's "Principles of Psychology" and Royce's "The World and the Individual." They contain an anachaning and epitomizes the cultural history of mankind. They will repay careful study, throw light upon many phases and aspects of human thought and quicken the mighty hopes which make us men. They will be studied by the judicious when the students who eagerly listened while the inspired thinker elicited the divine meaning, divine setting and divine background of human life will be carried to the bosom of this maker, the Father of spirit, changing their terrestrial for celestial bodies.

A little more reserve would have caused the elimination of many passages in the book which makes it difficult of reading. But as I said in the beginning, it gets its value chiefly from the inspiration one would get from reading after a woman who was determined to do something for humanity in spite of the handicap, and who has attained a measure of success. The greatest success has been in the field of politics, a somewhat new field for the colored woman, and much of the book is taken up in chronicling her achievements in this line. She took to the platform, when a woman in politics was a rare thing, and from the testimonials contained in her book she has wrought much for the race in this respect. The example of Mrs. Williams should have a wholesome effect upon young girls of today, and as she says in the foreword of her book, that 10 per cent. of all money received from the sale of this book will go to create a fund to be used for the suppression of crimes among Negroes. I think that the purchase of a copy of her 'book might serve a dual purpose. Burton Publishing Company, Kansas City, Mo., are the publishers. Mrs. Williams also wrote the song "Garvey ship of Liberty," which made a hit when sung in California and New York City. MR. HARRISON COMMENDED Editor of The Negro World. I wish to thank Mr. Hubert H.

They fought in the interest of that imperialism which happens to be in the white world; they fought in the interest of that imperialism, in it should not say, it was in the white world only; so, I will quality, that statement); they fought in the interest of that imperialism which happens to be dominant in the white world. It is also in India, in Africa, in Persia, and everywhere else in the world. You will find the rich man, you will find princes in India, and you will find Shahs in Persia, you will find the strong and the mighty who live upon the blood and the tears of the common people. You will find them 'hand in hand' with imperialism; they work with them and themselves their own people. In Persia, recently, they had to defeat these Shahs and these princes; they had to overthrow them, and the land was brought back to the people, and all went back to the common masses for their use. Well, then, we have capitalistic imperialism dominantly in the white world, and also in a measure wheremen can prey upon the labor of their fellows. Yes, we fought for them, but we have to strengthen the hands of those cut-throats and their crew that are trying to destroy humanity. We fought for them. What was our reward? We did not know we were fighting, but thought we were fighting for ourselves, you comrades, you follow workers, you who went to the war with dark skins, you who came back with dark skins, the dominant press,—which is the capitalist press—continued to foment and instil in, the breasts of the white people all over the country the same old, dark, antidiluvian prejudice that was before the war. But you fumed back; some of you fought back. I glory in the fact that we were the Applause. We Bolshevskii were proud (Applause). We there were black workers in the country who had the courage and the manhood to stand up against their oppressors (Applause). You came back from an imperial war to fight your own battles anew; and even at this moment, men and women, even at this moment, a new, a more deadly and more widespread, a more terrible imperialist conflict is preparing. And we shall have to send—no; we shall be ignorant, dumb-darried, like so many through the battleships of Europe, on whatever field it may be that we shall have to fight. That new war is preparing. And why? I want you to think of the cause. Production There can be no peace—there can be no peace until the capitalist materials are eliminated from production and distribution. There can be no peace until capitalists are thoroughly defeated. Capital must have an outlet. We, the millions of workers in America, for instance, and in every capitalist country, produce, produce; we pile-up, we pile-up, we pile-up; we storehouses of products by our labor; we come of it? We, the masses, go hungry; we are not permitted more than a meagre wage per day; we are permitted not more than the low wage against the high cost of living will provide. The rest of it—because we produce a great deal more than we get in exchange in wages—the rest of it goes to the capitalist class; the rest of it goes to those who own and control industry, and must have an outlet; there must be these products, these shoes, this clothing, this food, these building materials; all must be consumed before the workers can go on working; it must be consumed at a profit. speak to you.

We give to you, Mrs. Stokes, the best wishes of the representatives of the New-gro popples of the world to the struggling workers in Russia and elsewhere.

He is adding forth a message; When its echoes shall arise They will shake the coast islands, And distrust the stars in skies. Fles with him, O dark-browed maiden. Egypt's daughter-gramp his hand! He will bear the easily over And restore thee to thy land. IN RESPECT TO HON. MARCUS GARVEY BY STHEL TREW DUNLAP Out of the crater of slavery His soul was born like the snark That flashes from the volcano And lights up the ominous dark. Out of the clutch of the tyrant He points like Christ from the lomb. And speaks as he beats unto Mary. To lead his race out of the gloom. Out of the mob that is maddened, Out of the state's wild dame, He the ghost of justice haunting, He whmbs the storm fader of shame. Out of the town of Sweden, where Much takes Infinity's place He need to save helpless victims Shrifted by an oppressing race Out of the night's warm midnight, Trebling in the new day, He stands on the threshold of Freedom IT SEEMS TO ME By N. ELIZABETH DOWEN Out of the vastness something calls, And I think that I bear A smile, tight, a note that falls, When she sees my listening ear. Beyond the sunlight a shadow awaits And holds pleading hands to me- I'm looking to know what it says, And what its desires may be. I long to learn; may it be soon, For something haunting my way Something near me, by light or noon In calling me to obey! Out of the vastness something calls, And I feel a glimmer near Oer and again rises and falls That note full of hope and fear. Sometimes a word comes to me, A feeling breath it seems; "Message—Time"—Work for Thee, And a ray of light gleams Just now I heard, beyond the walls, That cry, clear—it seems to me, Out of the vastness something calls, "Go eat my people free!" 227 West 124th at.

Louder still, and now yet clearer, Bounding over hills and dells, Onward, ever onward, nearer, Float the strains of August bells. August bells, what are they saying? Oh, what force they strike the air! Said the nations at the hearing Of the notes the bells declare. This is what the bells are saying: "Negro, Freedom is complete." See those happy Negroes laying Trophies at their leader's feet! August bells are bells of "Freedom"— "Freedom"—not conditional. Not a part, but complete "Freedom"— "Freedom"—"unconditional"! Great Jehovah, God of Nations, From Tyme home above the skies Hear the Negroes supplications, Now for their deliverance rise. Though they've grieved Thee by trans- gression And have scorned Thee to Thy face, Save oh, save them from oppression! By Thy mercy and Thy grace. Then ring ye bella, the August bella, Or this terracite orb. Till "Pace" like mighty ocean swells In tranquil calm absorb. C. MICHAEL PERCY, Calle Benenconia No. 2, Guantanamo Cuba.

It is rather unfortunate that the people who stand most in need of these things should be the ones least aware of it. But that makes it all the more necessary that those among us who have some knowledge should direct the people of our race to the books—the sources of that knowledge without which no competent thinking can be done. For the people who despite knowledge and information will al- LEAD ON, ETHIOPIA'S SON Lead on Ethiopia's son, Lead on to victory. Supported by Afric's sons.

We'll press onward to our goal Till we reach that vast domain And get some of Afric's gold. Afric sons, we are coming To redeem our motherland.

It's almost a clown you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost. For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow's will— It's all in the state of mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think big to rise. You've got to be sure of yourself be- fore You can ever win a prize. I think the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line Have made a terrific start; And I think it will be a success If every Negro does his part. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, Is the one who thinks he can. J. G. MILLER. Odessa, Florida. YO FATHERLAND The Only African "Mammy" Song Written Respectfully Dedicated to the U.N.L.A.

WHY BOOKS? ways be deplied. Therefore, as our poet friend "Tazz" puts it: Read. Read. Read! are there. On size, though you have to see You will be blind indied. Here in Harlem there is a great opportunity for our people in the reading line. The One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street branch of the New York Public Library has "stocked up" during the last three or four months with about 200 books on the Negro and Africa. All the books which I have reviewed in the Negro World will be found in this branch. Besides which there are striking, outstanding books, such as that remarkable book by W. Hannibal Thomas, "The American Negro," in which a Negro writer puts his race under the microscope and takes a cool "close-up" of its foliates and fallings. Hate it, if you will, but you cannot deny that it is a great—and awful—book. The works of Booker Washington, Dr Du Bois and other Negro writers on American affairs can be found here. Parenthetically, my two books, "When Africa Awakes" and "The Negro and the Nation" will be found here. Poetry, fiction, history, travel, sociology are all fairly represented in this section. Then there are the books about Africa. They include geographies, travels, descriptions, compilations, missionary and scientific studies and treatises. Here you will find the three big volumes of Barth and the two of Schweinfurth on "The Heart of Africa"; Major Dubols (not Dr. Du Bois). "Timbucto the Mysterious," Maspero's "Art in Egypt"—a book of over 300 pages, full of photographs of the art products of Ancient Egypt, wherein you can look and decide for yourself whether the ancient Egyptians were Negroes or not. Livingstone's "Travels and Researchs" as well as Mungo Park's "Travels" are here together with modern studies by Moral Mary Kingsley, John H. Harris and George W. Ellis. This wealth of information can be had by any of us in Harlem without the spending of a single cent; and there is no excuse for any Negro who can read to be ignorant of the past history of his race in Africa or of the actual fact of their present existence. Anyone can secure a card of membership by applying in person at the desk. Perhaps I should also say that the writer of this column teaches a free class in Negro history every Monday night at 149 West One Hundred and Thirty-six street, under the amphitheatre and at the expense of the Liberty League. That means that it costs you nothing to get knowledge, and if you go back to God as ignorant as when you came the blame will be soura, and neither ours nor God's. THE NEGRO AND THE CENSUS The recent letter of Professor Kally Miller to the Director of the Census, which was published in the New York Ago, brings again to our attention the fact that the white men of America habitually toll lies about the Negro people. It is said that figures don't lie; but it is a notorious fictitious that it lays figure—especially in the consula office. As far back as 1850 this falsification of figures will be found. If Professor Miller will consult Mrs. Stowe's greatest book, "The Key to Tomu's Cabin," he will see there detailed proof of this falsifying. The case was brought up in the United States Senate at the urgent request of the American Statistical Association. But despite the revelations of deliberate lying, these errors were not corrected and the controversy forgotten. The present Director's aversion to correcting the errors is thus seen to be part and parcel of a definite purpose historically established.

VINTON PLUMMER Potentate Johnson to Hall Grand Reception in Ancient Courtyard Liberty Hall will witness Saturday night a scene of the most dazzling and brilliant display of Negro officiaidom in full dress and uniform that has ever been seen or remembered by the oldest citizens in Harlem, yet that has ever come under the ken of man since the goldand夕夕 of Solomon, when he received the Queen of Sheba from Abysalia, the great African kingdom, or during the Pilotomons of Ancient Egypt in their glory and splendor. His Highness, General Gabriel Johnson, Mayor of Monrovia, Liberty, Postmaster of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, the official to whom all others are subordinate in rank and must pay homage on set stately occasion, will receive his official family and their wives in courtly style at Liberty Hall, next Saturday evening. All officials of this great organization must attend in full dress, if a civilian, uniform if of the military branch, with their wives or ladies to be introduced and received by his Highness. All deputies and delegates to the Second Annual Convention now in session with their ladies will also be out in full array to be received in court. His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Gervay, President-General of the Negro Improvement Associations and African Community Leagues and Provision President of Africa, will receive with his Highness, surrounded by the First and Second Regiments of African Legion, commanded by Colonel Harrigan and staff on the one side and the Black Cross Nurses with the Ladies Motor Corps on the other with contingent auxiliaries. The morning and afternoon sessions yesterday of the convention, being the third week of its sitting, was devolved to constructive and corrective legislation, as will the greater part of the week be consumed. Much interest was manifested as resolutions and measures were read and presented bearing on the future administrative policy of the organization. The evening session was given over to the visiting deputies and delegates for five or ten minute addresses by Mr. Garvey, who presided; and the vast audience showed their approval and appreciation as appraisals were made up for the Black Star Line. Among those who spoke were Roe T. C. Glaker, Key West. Flip, T. C. A. Glaker, Key West. Courtesy of the women's art exhibit at the convention; Attorney P. Clyde Randall of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Rev Dr. Edgar C. West, Columbia, Ohio, and Rev. Dr. Barber, returned missionary from Abyssinia, and Mrs. C. Hall just returned from the Gold Coast, West Africa. The american Leader, Dr. J. W. H. Eason closed the meeting with a stirring address. The musical program was great. A solo, sung by Mrs. F. B. Cochrem, of Cleveland, Ohio, elicited much applause, she being the author of the poem "The Black Star Line," with his famous Black Star Line Band furnished music which thrilled the ensemble. Sunday's Proceedings The afternoon season Sunday was presided over by Miss Horietta Vinton Bavla, International Organizer, and the meeting was considered by all who attended in spite of the threatening clouds which hovered over New York and the rain shower which followed, to be most instructive, entertaining and productive of much good. After a very entertaining and well rendered musical program responded to the call. Hon. Adrian Johnson, a member of the field corps and recently returned from an extensive tour to the Southland, his operations and activities being principally in the States of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. Mr. Johnson's address are always appreciated by Liberty Hall and well received. Rev. Dr. W. M. Bennett, of Chicago, chilled his hearers with phrases of wisdom quotations and dials from the past. He was ever in the minds of all who heard him, of his ability as a divina and that of a scholar. His theme, the "Two Gods" make a wonderful impression, representing "God and Garvey." Following was an address by Hon. Edward Mobilas, High Commission from Cuba, who thrilled and clashed with his audience with his intense personality, the fortitude, with which he directed the thoughts of his heathen made an impression to be envied, by any who brave the rostrum. He then entertained the assembly by playing a solo on a Black Star Line Band one not, a selection from "Il Travatore." Hon. W. O. Symer, president of Detroit Division, as usual was at his beat and, with his matchless word painting and classical Illustrations, led the mind of the audience. His description of recent invasions by Negroes in his section met with great anlausse. The Rt. Hon. High Chancellor, DL George E. Stewart, who being inspired and aroused by Mr. Garvey's speech drove home some salient points long to be remembered by those who heard him. The musical program under the direction of Professors Forza, of the choir, and Iaes of the Black Star Line Band, was of the best that could be heard anywhere as evidenced by the encues requesting responses. The vocal solos by Mises Gaines and friend, Mr. MoVoy, assisted by the Acms Male Quartet, were exceptionally well rendered as was that of Miss Rovella Hughes. Professor William H. Ferris, Literary Editor of the Negro World, being unexpectedly called upon by Mr. Garvey to open the meeting with an address devoted to the scherzo by the trained musician on the rostrum, and by his matchless oratory, hold spellbound the vast audience for sometime, while he compared the great Universal Negro Improvement Association to a great university training men and women for future leaders of the race. The gist of the entire meeting was Africa for Africana. The delegates assembled ware to learn of the indisposition of Madam Barrier Houston, in the Middle West, a former idol in the musical world at Liberty Hall, as announced by Mr. Speedy, the director of recovery to health, but an early return among her friends.—Daily Star.

Dear Mr. Editor: As an extensive traveler and observer in almost every province in Cuba, I beg to submit to the reading public the conditions as they really are. I have been on the hands of Tina, or the moratorium, or the "crop over," or the change of the presidency, I know not; but one thing I know if help is not forcoming for the West Indiana, whether by mail or by phone, are looking for the worst every hour. Prior to the elections, it was rumored by the Cuban pessimist that the elections of 1920 and 1921 would be the warmest that ever was witnessed in the history of Cuba, and there would be a wholesale slaughter of "Miklina" (as we are called here). We form the greater part of the laboring forces in Cuba, and hold Cuba instead of any other nation, for if a goodly amount of Jamaican are killed, England would intervene for their lives. These threats, which I heard personally, led to thousands of us abandoning our house tenements for the protective towns and Jamaica, as of two evil ones always chooses the least and life is more than meat. This was the case and not a revolver was heard. It was said that it was the most peaceful election ever held in Cuba. During these months, according to time and tide which wait for no man, canes were ripening, and cutting, the sacharine branches from the mills tell that the crop will soon be over, but as most West Indians of the laboring class don't observe time, they were about stopping; only some could pay their way to Santiago and depended on some kind friends to do the balance. It was stated that during the months of January and May over 100,000 West Indians were in the island of Cuba and three-fourths were out of work. One can judge the state of affairs then, and the situation is still. Starration states us in the face. Since that month laborers have walked hundreds of miles looking for work and find none. Under the most formidable difficulty many have traveled and were disappointed at every Co-op store on the shores, especially repeat "boya, we are only working for the "comida." Many walked miles to the port of cait in Jamaica, and many are now at home in that lovely island enjoying ketter times. Those of us who can go for food in the main and pay the penalty. At Florida district, the kind money emperors have been doing much to alleviate the suffering ones, as every other morning they grant a little beef, sugar, rice and lard to gathering crowds. Cubans and lard to gathering crowds. Cubans don't enlist house rent from those who pay. For their kind consideration we thank them. Through all this, one can see that our people are leaving for their island home from the scantiness of the cafes, railway yards and trains. Humors of Repatriation by the Cuban It is widely rumored throughout the island of Cuba, by mouth and by some of the periodicals, that the West Indians are to be forced out of Cuba, or have seen it, and that it would appear that there is a law that mottles the affairs of man that the Cubans don't observe but being observed by the Jamaican Government, a recuperating sum is asked for those who must, on the island an island of poverty, to receive poverty stricken Jamaicans from no country of the world, which is always a burden to the taxpayer. Anyway, this news is getting underway and is acting on the news of the island of poverty. We are packing up their little belongings and getting ready for their departure. We are being mocked by the Cuban peasant. Anywhere we turn the slang is imitating bamboo para jamaica. This is a well-well-thinking Jamaicans who are so peaceful and law-abiding. Vale (scraps of paper signed by lord of Colonies); I have been in conversation with many laborers, and at Baragus I was told a campo that was worth over $100, was given them to clean for the sum of $60, and it took twenty hard-working men of them to finish it in four days, one can orphers what, per day these men worked, and all they got at. Its completion was this "vale" to buy a little rice and sugar, etc. There Coloned overords, finding that many of the laborers always require a little water, they are given them to clean for the doctor's error. Where does a poor West Indian physician say the I overload in Coloned in the ```markdown ``` the alarms may not be heard, he will not give any other. Bunny hit it, that a delegation is to be sent from Jamaica to investigate the mysteries around these waters. "Those they will soon come to. What next we know not. Different prices and fares are paid for household commodities and on railway care by Mikina, Hay汀斯 and Spaniola you pay, not below water mark. Entering any of the stores or other business places, and from your appearance and lingo you are a Jamaican, you pay half as much again for anything you may purchase. If you are a Hay汀斯, which they know very well by their appearance, he pays you a fee. He is in many instances whether in stores, shops or railway cara. I was an eye witness to a Hay汀斯 who was buying a sun-prop grip in a store here. The article costs only $4.90, and perhaps less, and this Hay汀斯 was asked $9 for it. The amount was handed to the storekeeper, and he paid in cash, with an air to buy. This storekeeper did not know that I could speak a little Spanish and as he could not speak a word in English, and as the poor Hay汀斯 laborer could speak both a little, he was between two odds. I saw the condition and immediately told the Hay汀斯 that the grip only costs $4.90. He paid in cash, with the money, which was handed him with regret. My own story will be too long to tell the public how I was charged $8.50 for a tin of corned beef at Ciego de Ávila, but when they found afterwards that I was an African, as you will see afterwards, under the surveillance that I was an African, as I was made to pay 45 cents afterwards, so there seems to be another price for Africans. The moment that you approach a railway agent and ask for the fare to any given place, he knows, you know not, and he raises the fare to suit his own greed. A few days ago I was bound for Havana. I inquired from the train station, and he asked the fare to Havana. He told me in Spanish $12. I asked him in the same language whether he meant twelve or twenty. He whistled out a little English and asked twelve dollars. I told him I did not speak English, as I was just from Africa, Liberia, and was not a native of the money, as my father was a black millionaire. Nevertheless, he said in Spanish again $12 Knowing that the fare to Ciego de Avila is 43 cents, I handed him a coin and five cents and waited for change of two cents difference. He said roughly no change but I did not make any more fuss about the amount. Alighting off the train at Ciego I went in the station and bought a ticket for Havana for $8.80. So the public can see how much that fellow would knock off me. Returning from Havana, still on the quirky, I unhated under the train, and I billed, believing that they would ask for more. To my surprise I received 32 cents as change. Now the fare from Florida to Barragan is $1.25, from Barragan to Ciego do Avila, 48 cents, from Ciego to Havanna $3.50, making a total of $0.45, and the three fares are only $0.25. This is for one running on a half-intelligent scale, but how is the poor Haitians and others who are not able to talk for themselves? One can easily judge. It is for anyone to see that more than half that is earned in this country is left here under these circumstances. Abraham Leslie or Lahesie, (sales "Cole-Man") is on arm near Florida when in quint of work. Six men, said to be Jamaican, left the little town of Florida not many weeks ago for a colonies neighboring to look for work. Arriving at this colonies in the early morning of a volocock season when the lord of the colones would give them some consideration for work. While waiting the milimani (Spainard) sitting from his morning supper, of milk; was washing his milimani pans, and in the set of throwing away the dirty water, it was him a pig or a horse. As there is so much hatred in the hearts of the peasantry a hot quarrel ensued, which around the feeling of a young Spaniard (Majoral) who came up and asked no other question but dragged manatee good food across his chest. Not satisfied that that was all right, he drew out his gun and shot the poor man dead on the spot. The other five took to their heels and fed. Why did these five other z an run? Because they were not members of the U. N. I. A. The British Consul of Camagua had been communicated with through the kindness of Mestre Austin and Marchant of this town. I wonder what he almost the same nature as a shooter. My suggestion to the Government of Cuba is: There are vast tracks of turtle lands tying waste in all parts of the republic, and if they would sell cheap, or give freely to the West Indians and encourage them to cultivate their land, they would be over, they would be no burden to the eminent. The peaceful law-abiding West Indians are ever ready and willing to help themselves, and would not like to live on the bounty of no government except their own. And as they know that the earth never refuses to give them food, they should at it any time. This testimony I have heard over and over. But what if they should cultivate? No sooner than the crops are half ripe they would be ransacked by the peasantry, and one dares not ask them a word or the West Indians to quickly. Therefore the West Indians offer anything like cultivation unless the government offers protection. I hope that this little suggestion will move in the right direction and al- Cuba to be called blessed. Thank you, Mr Editor, believe me to be yours, BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Another heir of the U. N. I.

ARTHUR BRIEDAN SAYS JAPAN HAY ATTACK AMERICA IN 1922 If you think that all talk about war with Japan is nonsense that Japan wouldn't dream or attack this great country, etc., read the book, "Sea Power in the Pacific" by I. G. Bywater, and you may change your mind. If you can't get or haven't your mind, read the review of it by Dalderston, printed in the London Outlook. You will learn from Bywater that if Japan decides to have war—and the decision will come from Japan—it will come not later than next year. In 1922, Japan attacked the United States by far, in spite of our great navy. With her boats faster than able, able to choose her time, and to draw us across the Pacific Ocean, far from our base, by attacking Germany, Gunn simultaneously, Japan would have her own way in the fighting. The admiral with the fastest ships can start and stop fighting when he lifts. When he stops he can send his submarines and fast smaller ships to finish up big battleships that have been submerged, and that fighting the from any safe base across the Pacific, could not escape. Leaving out of consideration attacks of the modern kind that might unexpectedly be made by flying machines, from a base in Mexico, or from a fontainier, would result in a blow at ready to strike a blow at the Philippines that in all probability would result in temporary victory, tremendous Japanese prestige, and the taking of the Philippines and Guam, our magnificent neglected strategic possession. These statements in *Brywater's book* should interest somebody in Washington: While the United States has piled up dreadnoughts haparack, Congress has year after year knocked out the American fleet, and Pacific bases and for naval cruises, until the American fleet appear, in spite of its paper strength, un fitted for the task of fighting Japan. All of the more modern Japanese ships of the fleet, for example, are two knots faster than the corresponding American vessel, while America until 1923 will have none; so that if, before then, the American fleet should venture into Eastern waters subsequent to the almost inevitable capture of the Philippines, Japan would have an inductive action, inflict an much damage as possible, and would not permit the more numerous but slower United States dreadnoughts to force a fight to a finish. Mr. Bywater, who has studied his subject carefully, thoroughly, with expert knowledge, believes that war with intelligence will start late in 1922. And be believed, doubt Japan will be victorious, at least in the beginning of such a war. Why should Japan select 1923 for her attack on the United States? This is Bywater's answer: Japan will enjoy a relative strength in the cannage to reach. Possibly the Battlefield Tosa, with ten 16-inch guns, will be in serves, certainly Japan, will have the Nagato and the Kusan, carrying eight aircraft, together with five other, other parachute-drives and four battle cruisers of the Kongo class capable of 24 knots. The United States in 1922 will possess twenty-one super-dreadnoughts. But the fastest of these can make only, twenty-one knots, the first three American battle cruisers will not be ready until the year following, and the Nagato and Kudu, not to mention the more powerful Tosu, will be two knots faster than the Colorado and Maryland, the only American ships of equal strength. Moreover, the American fleet will not in 1922 possess any modern fast light cruisers." Ding thoroughly ready, Japan, in 1922, could attack the American fleet with battleships and battle cruisers all of the same type.

THE PERISCOPE GOURDIN OF HARVARD (By William Pickens, the Associated Negro Press.) Much has been written in the last few days by the tardy Associated Press about the great Negro athletic star of Harvard University. Some have tried to minimize his achievement, and some have tried to damn his race, white reluctantly acknowledging him. The New York Daily News, for instance, said that no other Negro had amounted to anything in athletics, implying that therefore it was a mere accident in Gourdin's case. The editor of that paper showed his ignorance (or prejudice) in his views of the other leaders of Marcellus, of Bullock, and even of Karl Johnson, who was running away from the field in the marathon race at Pasadena while the little editor was pennishing his be-littling line. But the truth stands out: that Gourdin is the greatest track star that Harvard has produced, or any other American university, as far as the record of any foreign university which has produced his equal. Tell that to the Daily News. But we are thinking: What would have happened to Gourdin and to Harvard if such American prejudice as that displayed by this editor had its way of being heard of. If he had gone to Princeton or Yale, he would never have been heard from. They would have proven that he could not outcomp the white boys by not letting him jump. That is the effective American method of judging talent, putting him down at the tail end of the list without letting him compete. Gourdin won for Harvard; the record he made is made for Harvard; Harvard will get the credit for an injury. Other institutions are shutting out Negroes, for undoubtedly the Negro students are, in proportion to their numbers, by far the greater athletes. But most of the schools would rather lose than win through a Negro. Harvard has sense enough to know that the Negro is the best of the Negro best White boys jumping, but that Harvard athletes beat all Oliver Simmons. The president of the for Harvard. Harvard has stuck to Georgia, and Goucher Lab often uses for Harvard. When Goucher lab admits, he chooses to Goucher. Harvard has given the place on the contest rather than to teach him Goucher lab's methods than to teach his best and Southern probabilities. But, short of the author of the New York Daily News or the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court had team president of Harvard, when white students in Virginia said that they would not compete with a "nigger," the colored lad would have been dropped and left in Cambridge. "Fact" would have been used. He said, did the white members of the Harvard team would have been on down to Virginia to be the first to win. In the vard, that they chose, well, not, for Goucher lab for Harvard. Harvard acted, the pro-Negro, but no Harvard. All the credits are there, the credits of the contest and the credits of common morals—Do it again.

Aug. 18—Conferences with political leaders with the view to the formation of a new Spanish cabinet to succeed that of Premier Allende-alasalat, which resigned yesterday, were begun here today by Antonio Maura, former premier, who has been asked by the king to head the government. In political circles belief was expressed that Senator Maura would be successful in gaining the support necessary to form his ministry Damands \ that Spain crush the Moorish rebellion in Morocco are made by influential newspapers here "El Dario Universal" declares rapid action in Africa is necessary, as the government is at present maintaining 100,000 men and spending 2,000,000,000 pesetas, a year in in carrying out its policy of friendly colonization. It is asserted that a policy is "impossible" to put afresh eleven years of attempting to put it in operation, the tribune have scorned it. The newspaper declares the moment "has arrived to master them by sheer force." Calls War Political In an editorial published by "El Lobata" General Burguze declares the war in Morocco is not a military out a political struggle. He asserts that when all peaceful methods have been tried unsuccessfully, military action must be taken, and that it must be well planned and rapid in effect. The government has published a declaration thanking the citizens of various American republics who have declared their wish to come to Spain to participate in the fighting. Cuba has offered to form a volunteer regiment. Argentina has sent fifty-five volunteers to the foreign legion and the Spanish embassy in London has received numerous offers from Englishmen to form a contingent which will enter the fighting. Many Mexicans and residents of Rio Janéiro also have volunteered. POSTPONE FIGHTING TO HOLD Celebration TANGERI. Today - Warlike operations against the Spanish forces in Morocco by the natives of the Rif section of that country will not be undertaken before next Tuesday, at least it is declared by natives here. Preparations are being made for the celebration on August 16 of the annual vote in honor of the Moorish leader, who led tribes in the Nigerian and southern Morocco in their fight against the conquest of their country by France. The male Arab population of Morocco is considerably diminished, as many are volunteering for service with the Rif tribesmen. The only persons coming in to the markets are women. Mail service between this city and the mainland of Europe is very irregular, postal boats having been taken for war service. DETRCIT NEWS OF AFRICA'S HEIRS The mass meetings were held by the Detroit Division for the week beginning August 1 as a result of the great convention of the U N L A during the whole month in New York City. The first was Monday. August 1; the second and third meetings assembled Thursday and Sunday positively. The audience was composed of many curious and I own souls whose spirit eyes turned toward New York. A ray of hope and confidence glittered on each brazen brow, and the light of African redemption shines with glory all around. About a score of the Black Cross Nurses, dressed in uniform, prepares for the day's duties in the tropics. All beautifully white and beautifully black, with the cross of Jesus in the forehead, testifying that these black and comely emblems were not designed by our white friends, as we have in the past experienced. Mr. Charles C. Trempty, chairman of the Hon. Advisory Board and president pro tem, presided. He showed from page 6 of the New York World (white) the pictures of his highness, the potentate, his excellence, the providional president, Hon. Marcus Garvey, and the grace the chaplain-general, G. A. McGuire. Several interesting speakers took part in the program, including Mr. L. H Mahmuguler, Rev. G. N. Brown and Mr. A. Clark. A most horrifying surprise was given the members of the Detroit division when Mr. Charles C. Trampty, acting president, from the Detroit Free Press of Sunday, August 7, an account of an attempted lynching in Detroit, one of the most northern of American cities. Sam Grigga, a Negro, was called to have had a quarrel with a group of white men at the baseball park at the Hamtramck-Detroit boundary line. According to the press report the white men in the park prevented Griggs from sitting where he wanted to. He thereupon ran to his home, got a gun and fired into the crowd of white men, injuring two boys (white), one fourteen years old, who died in the hospital two days later. A mob of about 400 white men chased Griggs and beat him almost to death. There were cities of Lynch hunt for him each day. In 1886 a law passed by the state of Michigan made an amount of the amber stolen from the Detroit Prison be incarcerated. (AP) DEVENSE SUBJECT ENTITLED BY FIGHT WITH THE LIONS DEVENSE SUBJECT ENTITLED BY FIGHT WITH THE LIONS Dy Rev. P. P. SANUEL, D.D. A Review by W. H. Ferris "My Right With the Lions" is the main title of a hundred page book by Rev. P. P. Samuel, D.D. of 8724 Cherry street, Philadelphia, Pa., formerly of 3020 Bainbridge street. The sub-title is "A Panacea for the Race and the Denination." On the cover page the words: "Sure I must fight if I would reign." This title suggest a man battling with powerful and fierce animals who are seeking to destroy and devour him, and recalls Daniel in the lion's den and tales of African hunters. But the lions with whom Dr Samuel contends are human lions, pastors of large churches. The title leads the reader to believe that he will hear of a real scrap, a real battle, an epic struggle. And the reader of Dr. Samuel's closely written pages will not be disappointed. When you find one lone man standing up and fighting single handed an organization of over one hundred ministers, you have not a fight but a war on a small scale. The warfare of Dr. Samuel against the Association of Negro Baptist ministers of Philadelphia had an insignificant beginning. It began with his fight as Assistant Pastor of the Central Baptist Church with Rev. Charles Blackwell, D.D., the pastor. This is now nothing new in ecclesiastical history. Rev. Henry Highland Garnett, D.D., clashed with his Assistant Pastor in Philadelphia, Pa. Rev E. P. Moore, formerly Pastor of the Zion Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Pa. clashed with his assistant, Rev Dr Matthews. Rev Dr. Blasphe, rector of the St. Phillips Episcopal Church of New York City, clashed with Rev Daniel, the curate. Whenever the assistant pastor has a strong individuality and forceful personality, those are the best candidates, later, usually the assistant pastor goes, because the pastor has been there longer and has built a machine, such was the case with Dr Samuel and Dr Blackwell. The brilliant, magnitude and forceful Dr Samuel bucked up against an ecclesiastical machine and did not win out. Dr. Samuel a book pictures Dr. Blackwell as far from being an angel or paragon of virtue. It seems that Dr. Blackwell thought that a man and woman who had been identified with him in the past were too influential in the church for the good of the church. To dismiss them would cause them to tell tales out of school. Dr. Blackwell thought that if he told his hearsen that the Lord told him to dismiss all of the officers and elect a new group that his congregation would support, he thought that the innocent should not suffer with the guilty. That began the clash which is told with elaborate detail in Dr. Samuel's book, and which ended with his removal as assistant pastor. But it seems that there is a Free-masony among the Negro Baptists of Philadelphia. They believe that they must hang together or hang separately. The result was that the majority of them sided with Dr. Blackwell without entering into the merits of the controversy. And they regarded Dr. Samuel as an ecclesiastical outlaw, as a rebelious angel, much as the other angels regarded Satan after he had been thrown over the battalions of heaven by the God of Hosts. But now¹ the history of the Negro Church has a dismissed assistant pastor fought back as brilliantly and successfully as Dr. Samuel did. First, he organized a church of his own, the New Mt. Morabt Baptist Church, Nineteenth and Addison streets, which is thriving. And Dr. Blackwell to the civil courts and won out. Then he wrote his 100-page book to vindicate his reputation and to justify his battle against spiritual wickedness in high places to posterity. Cardinal Newman wrote his "Apologia Pri Vita Mia." and Dr. Samuel wrote "My Fight with the Lions." The introduction to the book, entitled In Praise of Books, is a classic, a literary gem. The book itself has the vividness of Dante's "Inferno." It is really Dr P. P. Samuel's judgment day. The names of over one hundred Negro Baptist clergymen and layman of Philadelphia and other places are mentioned. Some are praised and commended, but more are criticised, and their characters and lives are dissected and laid bare as by a scalping knife. Dr. Blackwell is portrayed as the prince of devils and his career traced in detail. According to Dr. Samuel the Negro Baptists of Philadelphia will be well represented in the kingdom of his satanic maleist. Attila called himself the scourge of God. Possibly Dr. P. P. Samuel regards himself as the avenging angel. He smites the Negro Baptist clergymen of Philadelphia and the vicinity hip and thigh, and rakes them fore and aft. He comes like a thunder and lightning shower, which works destruction for a time, and ends by clarifying the atmosphere. Dr. Samuel is an amateur battling with the Prophets of Boal with the aid of ecclesiastical evils. He is an ecclesiastical reformer. Most reformers usually go to extremes, but they do good as a whole. This is probably true of Dr. P. P. Samuel. His book, "My Battle with the Llona," is an interesting ecclesiastical document. Some may think that there is too much airing of personal affairs in public, but self-preservation is the first law of nature. And some excuse is made for a man who has his back to the wall, facing odds and battling for his life or regulation. Unfortunately the book is too closely printed. If there had been more space between the lines the book could be read more readily and there would be less strain.

Chas. T. Gldemy of Kinderhook, County of N. T. a Negro born a slave in the South, who was a Troy, N. Y. in 1894, told that he had written a scientific algebra, upon which he had devoted thirty-two years of hard study, which contained a new and wonderful rule showing how to obtain the true diameter of any perfect circle when the circumference is given and the true circumference of any circle when the diameter is given. Mr. Gldemy (now deceased) was then a very aged man. He had a remarkable gift of speech and he employed in his general conversation the purest and simplest English. He had no capital with which to publish his MSS, and he entrusted it to a white man who had long been anxious to publish it and who could not afford to publish it for him. I wrote that he knew a remarkable old Negro gentleman for the West African Weekly Record of that year, and I have often wondered whether that white man benevolently assimilated that MSS and made it his own, under a different title. They have done such things to talented Negroes. The Answer "True marriages are made in Heaven."—(To F. A. B.)

In a small village in Ireland, the mother of a soldier met the village priest, who, seeing her downcast, asked her if she had bad news. "Sure I have," said she. "Pat has been killed." "Oh, I'm very sorry," said the priest. "Did you receive word from the war office?" "No," she said. "I received word from Pat himself." The priest looked perplexed and said, "But how is that?" "Sure," she said, "but here is the letter. Read it for yourself." The letter said: "Dear Mother, I am now in the Holy Land." John F.

According to Corentinus' history of the Popes, Vol. 1, three full-blooded Africans have been elected Popes of Rome. The first was St. Victor, who after writing several opinions on the festival of Easter, suffered martyrdom in about A. D. 802. He was the fifteenth Pope. The next African Pope regularly elected by the See of Rome was Melichades, a man of great platy and learning, and reigned during the time of Constantine, called by courtesy "The Great." Melichades occupied the Papal throne in the days of St. Augustine. He was the thirty-third Pope. The next was Pope Goscelin, who compiled the rules of the Catholic Church, known as the Sacramentarium, in the year 1680. It was preserved for 800 years. He was Pope for four years and died September 8, A. D. 405. He was the fifty-first Pope.

"Prof. Moore" is a striking example of the axiom, "A little learning is a dangerous thing." He calls himself the "mischief-maker." He is a huge joke instead—a garrulous and horrible example of a man who thinks he is a thinker and a philosopher. What Prof. I. S.

On Saturday, July 28, of the year, the Morris C. C. wended its way, to Central Harrago under the glorious colors of the Red Black and Green to pass the August holidays in a cricket match. "I am not going to appoint any secretary men to office in the Southern states. This thing called race practice, you cannot down by battling, and the only solution is, I see, we colored the path in the South that will hide the ranks behind white leadership also." At 8:28 a. m. on Sunday, the Siet, the ever gladly looking boys of Moron arrived at that glorious looking spot of Central Barrague, finding all the boys there in harmonious agita, and at 18 Saturday, the boys of Moron game commenced, the toes being worn by the Moron C. C. when they desired to send their opponents to the bat. Did he say 'false'? A committee colored men called him a member of the United States and on member of the United States reports that the said certain things, and so far no other member of the committee has denied that the President said so. The day was a very peasant one at the start, when the Barragus C. C. complied with the total amount of 88 runs. Then the Moron C. C. went to the bat and replied with the small amount of 88 runs. But there is one man alive who knows whether the President of the United States said: these things, and that man is Warren G. Camillei Harding. He is the man we want to hear from. We will wait before we believe that words so abject could fall from the lips of a man who had brains enough to become the chief executive of this great nation. The secretary of the President denies that those were "the exact words, but then we no longer believe that words," and that the President may not deny for himself. Not in any words so full of hopelessness and cowardice would be almost to acknowledge them. Then it began to rain, which brought the water much to the degree of the Maron boys. With the assistance of our worthy president, Mr. Santa Fengton, owner and proprietor of the Boston Hotel of this town, to whom much praise has to be given, the game was easily managed and controlled to the end, he *w*-ing accompanied the boys to and from Barragua, which gave him to them, and may he ever be president as long as life lasts, as he is no man of small heart in the line of sports among the youth of the club in order, so that in the future, when they shall meet another, they may take the fame to their home, Moron.

The Ethiopian anthem was then curated and the process of creation again being formed, continued their march to our local Liberty Hall, and the long-look-for occasion came to a close, all feeling satisfied that such a day had never been seen in Tela. It is regretful that for the want of space we are unable to reproduce the correct song, and most often a few words of congratulations first of all to Master T. Woolery, for the mastery way in which he rendered the correct solo; also to Master Edward Cameron for his addresses on L'Onuverture, while Master Edward Prishtet for his end and he replied "Three Cheers for the Hail Black and Green." A pleasing feature was to watch the agility and nimbleness of the Black Cross Nurses as they responded to the orders of their commander, Mr. Robertson, both in the coming in and out of the hospital. Mr. James Kennedy, who is in charge of the legions to be formed and the nurses, looked every inch like their commander-in-chief. It would be an act of disrespect if mention specially was not made of the nurses, O. M. Simpson and Miles B. Fuller, respected the musical part of the program.

WEST CHICAGO DIVISION Dear Sir, Allow me to protest to a letter I have read in your paper of August 18, 1921, which was written by one Z. A. Cunningham, Box 43, Cepedes Chamaguy, Cuba, on the ground and the contents of such a letter should not be considered an恶劣 and weak-minded member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who may happen to read it, than good. Noting that the letter above mentioned was not signed by any officer of the division, I think it is unfair to mention and the organization in general. This writer, who seems to feast very heavily on pennsmint, assumes the position of spokesman for the entire membership of his division, and wishes to obtain excuse at the hand of the parent body should they stop supporting it. It seems unbelievable that an entire membership of a division of new Negroes would have this request. Therefore, assuming that this poor writer is merely one of the pessimists of the division, I beg to advise same to pay up his or her obligation to the best of their ability, doing the same with the least of their effort. I B. N I A. I shall consider them a hundred per cent a new Negro. The new Negro has ceased begging and has determined to battle his way while there is life in him until Africa is redeemed. Nothing else is acceptable in our ranks. May all other pessimists take warning. We have accomplished more in four years than any other organization from the beginning of time, and we expect to more than double same in the next four years. No time for worry.

MAYBELLE HEWITT Associate Secretary They to protest through the columns of The Negro World against the anti-U. N. L. A. propaganda that has been launched in many sections by the so-called Negro intellectuals of America. These pernicious forces of disunity should not have to be reminded that there is no need for increment of disunity, distrust and suspicion among the Negro people of the world. This malady has for generations been too prevalent among our people. It is just such tactics as have been resorted to by certain American Negro "leaders" in their mad efforts to disrupt the U. N. L. A. and discredit its leaders that have been the cause of such deplorable disunity among Negroes, and have made it so difficult for us to unite our moral, intellectual, numerical and material forces for the achievement of common objects for ourselves and our posterity. Whether they are jealous of Maroon Garvey's leadership, or whether they fear material personal losses through the ascendency of the U. N. L. A., or whether they are lacking in genuine loyalty to the highest warchore of the U. N. L. A., or whether they narrow-minded and ignorant to sense the danger that universally threatens the race in present state of subjection to white world hegemony, or whether they have been so Caucasianized that they cannot be moved by the impulse for a separate, distinct, powerful Negro race, or whether they are the unfortunate tools of pernicious alien influence bent on keeping the Negro race forever dismuntled, Atteneceless and helpless — whether it be the factors actuating these Negro "leaders" in their efforts to impede the progress of the U. N. L. A. we do not present them with offers of protection or discourse. But be the case as it may, they certainly are not acting in the best interest of the Negro people of the world. On the contrary, they are doing the race a great injury. For any act, any act that weakens the morale of the Negro in his present effort at world solidification, really helps the white oppressor by rendering Negroes more amenable to the oppression of the farthest policy of oppression, subjugation and ultimate extermination. Such action of these "leaders" deserves the attention of the Negro people of the world. --- but despite their campaign of deposition they will not succeed in crushing the U. N. L. A. For the doctrine of this great organization is founded on the most fundamental and most important principle founded on the impulse for self-preservation. It is founded on the desire to advance and achieve unharmed by any alien force; to rule one's self and not by aliens be ruled; to decide and dictate policies in one's own interest and to dictate the actions dictated by alien races; to measure shoulder to shoulder and head to head with other advanced races of the world in governmental and other affairs; to be able to back when struck rather than submit to unapprehable insults and to be able to over from an alien race; to possess and enjoy our rightful share of earth's supply; to lead ourselves and the rest of mankind to a higher and more ennobling destiny. Such are the impulses, such are the desires on which the doctrine is founded. If the N. L. A. is founded, then hopes of disrupting this organization, such are vain hopes indeed. These "leaders" may retard in some degree the progress of the U. N. I. A. for a time. For some Negroes, like other people, can be easily diverted from their mission of the value of these slims and objects to their wolffare. But as the fine points of Garvoyse sink into and grip the consciousness of the Negro people of the world, they will look with all of these "leaders" who take up the challenge and progress of the U. N. I. A. Just as in the autumn the leaves upon the withdrawal of the chlorophyll (coloring matter) drop off and fall upon the ground because their presence on the surface just so will these "leaders" fall off. The autumn of their leadership is fast approaching. But inasmuch as it is "better late than they never," these "leaders" can stone for the injury they have done the U. N. I. A. by supporting this fable criticism, abuse and slender they have heaped upon Marcus Garvey by converting their opposition into whole-hearted support and urging others to join and support this great movement. They can or will not do this they can or will be their motto. Bush or help should be their motto. To the members of the U. N. L. A. who may become discouraged and to prospective members who may be diverted from their intention to join by opposing "leaders" I will say. Allow me to disguise you in your support of the U. N. L. A. or to change your intention to join. There is a great danger overdraining our race the world over. We must be able to gain white raths to gain too much power over the international existence. The white man is dominating you in the Americas; he is dominating you in the various lakes of the seas he is dominating you in your own white domination over the African race in wide-world face. Day by day the white man is trampling in the must not pay your rights as citizens; or subjects of the countries in which you live, but also of the countries in which you are not supposed to be.

You are going to be helpful and defensives just so long as you are disorganized and without a central government strong enough to protect you anywhere in the world. Now the U.N. is the only one that will supply you with the central government to support and advance your interest just as the English, the French, the Japanese and the Americans have a powerful central government to protect and advance the interests of Englishmen. Frenchmen, Japanese, and white Americans, require the same quality of support for the fortress of certain Negro preshras, teachers, editors, politicians and others who may discourage you in your effort to support the U.N. I. A. you can clearly see that it is your duty to come into the field of the U.N. I. A. and help it to help you in the future. And the safety of your wife and the safety, happiness and glory of your posterity. Do not filter, then, in your duty to your race.

When gotten into their respective positions, the measuring was called to order by W. E. Gumba, secretary, who acted as master of ceremonies pro tem. Opening ode, "From Greendale's Joy Mountain," was sung. Prayner was offered by the Rev. James Robinson, of the St. James A. M. E. Zion Church, Oak street. Hymn, "Handle up for Jesus," was sung. Welcome adoration was held by the second minister of the Baptist Church. Scripture reading by Rev. Robinson. Seated on the platform were the following: Rev. P. W. Rose, pastor of the church; Rev. Robinson, of the Methodist Church; Brother David Carter; lady president of the Newark division, Lady president of the Newark division, The Black Cross nurses from Newark made a good appearance. Introduction of Brother A. R. Aogwara first vice-president of the Perth Amboy division, who gave the opening address. He kept away from the Garvey movement, because they did not have the true light, and the Garvey movement is trying to do for the Negroes what England did for the English, Germany French and America for the Americans. He also struck some important facts that hold the audience spellbound for one hour. Space will not permit giving his entire address. The Rev. Hutus Montague pastor of the Baptist Church, the Newark N. J. A. Denton of the Perth Amboy Division No. 95, was next introduced. He delivered a sermon suitable for the occasion, taken from the Book of Esakhel: "Can these dry bones live, oh Lord God, of the amount of money was spent by Negroes to the ministers, members and people of Perth Amboy to encourage them to join the organization and help put over the program, and also told them of the amount of money was spent by Negroes that money was put into factories some of the Iglesia Negroes would be working. Solo and recitals were rendered by some of the members. After the collection the Rev. Hose gave an appropriate closing address, and stated that the money was put into factories now than before. A few remarks of encouragement were given by the lady president of the Newark division. We are sure the Index of Perth Amboy was seized of the Newark division.

SIXTEEN-YEAR OLD COLORED GIRL ADDRESSES OKLAHOMA DIVISION SIXTEEN-YEAR OLD COLORED GIRL ADDRESSES OKLAHOMA DIVISION Mr. President, Members and Friends of the U. N. L. A. Honorable Sirs: I now stand before you in the behalf of this great organization, the Univer- sial University of North Carolina. This great work was originated by honorable Provisional President of Africa, Marcos Garvey, a little better than three years ago. It is now known throughout the United States that U. N. L. A. is increasing in numerical strength and strength. There is an old saying that the darkest cloud always has a silver lining. I am proud to say that the cloud that has been so dark over the Negro race is beginning to show its silver lining little by little. It gives us pleasure to know that we are no longer hewers of water, but that we are citizens of a continent many, many miles away. This great continent, the home of the Negro, has been stolen, hidden and, some means, covered up from the Negro. The Negro is the Ethiopian, better known as the Negro, entirely ignorant of the fact that he was a citizen of another continent far away. While it is our duty to be loyal to the Negro and Blue, it is also our duty to be so careful, not to ful the Red, Black and Green, the flag of our home country. Why, do you ask? Because we are not treated as citations of this country, but as slaves, pot slingers and wood chopper. Our girls have not the privilege of becoming typists, stenographer, bookkeeper or "Miss President" over the institution, although some of our educated boys and girls are quite educated. Then, again, we haven't the privilege of renting a room at some large hotel or take our meals at some up-to-date institution that white people go to or patronize. When our boys went over the top for America, they were supposed to be treated as citizens of the United States and to be entitled to equality of treatment; but, instead, when they re-entered the world, they were gallant defenders of the Red, White and Blue, they were burned at the stake, killed in riots, tarred and feathered and otherwise treated as brutes. Now I am gind that the silver lining is rapidly turning and that we are fast finding out that we are not ottens of this continent any longer but of the richest continent on the globe—Africa. Our boys are not the only ones and interest that behooves us to better the condition of the Negro race. Let us prove ourselves loyal and receive all the rewards that are ours and will come to us under the Red, Black and Green. **HOLET MCCRACKEN** (Age 16). 1922 Pichas Avenue, Milwaukee, Oklahoma ATLANTIC CITY U. N. L A. On Thursday night, July 7, the Atlantic City division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League hold a most conspicuous mass meeting. The event, presided by the president, the first speaker was President Waits of the local who, in his usual manner made some inspiring remarks; after which Dr. Toote dollard the request for a five-hour meeting of expressing their opinions of the U. N. I. A. After a little delay many came forward. He then introduced to the audience the Rev. Dr. Goldson of Winston-Salem, N. C. Dr. Goldson paid a high tribute to him. He reaffirmed his hearty reasons why Negroes should fall into the ranks of the U. N. I. A. The last speaker was the honorable speaker in convention. There was such an uprise of cheeses and applesus throughout his city that he quoted one to quote his speech in full. Dr. Toote was red hot; the dances coming from him seemed effective, and the "friendly enemies" of the U. N. I. A. melted under his heavy tire. He gave a farent plan for love and unity. Dr. Toote accomplished his mission to Atlantic City on Saturday night, July 9, which was a gala time for the majority of the division, not because he had finished, but because of it. He was a natural生 being the re-election of Mr. Geo. H. Walls as president of the local. We regret that the speaker could not remain with us any longer. We cannot find words to express our gratitude for the support he gave by God's help that when he visits us again he shall see that his labor was not in vain. Thanking you for space, sir, I am Respectfully you for the cause. ULING MARGHALL 102 Royal Avenue, Atlantic City, N.J.

UN- VEILS CHARTER A meeting of Moron Division was held at 8 p.m. on July 19, with Mr R.C. Russell, vice-president, in the chair. The meeting began with the opening ode. After explaining the object of the meeting Mr. Russell introduced Mr. F. A. Ogivis as chairman for the evening. The constitution was read. For the benefit of those who did not understand the purpose of the U. N. I. A. the objects of the association. The Ethiopian anthem was sung lyrically by the audience. A chorus followed by the choir, entitled "Truth." A reaction, entitled "Africa," was then given. He addressed the Mr. Matthias McCatty followed. He expressed the privilege of speaking on such an occasion. He hoped that every one present would be endowed with the gift of realization of what the U. N. I. A. means to Negroes and fill in with negroes. He and he hoped it won't be left behind. He responded to the call of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) A dut, entitled "The Flag of Our Nation." was rendered by Mr. Todd and Mrs. Robinson. The charter was then unveiled. The charter in the form of an arch of black Cross Nurses and Legionnaires represented the thirteen persons in the initiation of the U N. I. A. and A. C. L. The lights were dimmed and the unveiled brought to the minds of many. Let the days of creation, when God said, let there be light and there was light. Mr. Edward Scarlet was asked to read the charter. As the name of each person appearing thereon was read he was invited to unveil the charter Mr. E. Scarlet made the following remarks: I. Edward Anglin Scarlet, third vice president of the Moro Council of the Malay Islands, the office of the officers, members, friends and foes of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. do hereby declare that this charter is unlawful for the service of this division and that the redemption of Africa, the upbuilding of an independent government and the uplifting of our race. David and Golitha was highly enlightened and added much to the pleasing of the evening. Commenting on the charter, the chairman said it was to the Negroes what the Magna Charter 14 to Englishmen, and that Negroes should to respect it. Commenting, he said: "Many people ask, What is the use of Negroes talking about a government; they have no guns or implements of war?" As one authorized to speak with the governor, he did not advocate war of this kind, but it affirms a war of self-help in matters of industry, education, economics and politics. Negroes should not entertain the idea that they are against any one. What they want is against right to rise to the heights of responsibility and equality" (Cheers.) Following this stirring address a solo entitled "Lead Moir" was rendered. R. M. C. Russell was the next speaker for the evening. He analyzed the motives of the movement, and joined that association and warned the members of Moron division to be careful in the affairs of the association. A solo by Mrs. Osborne followed and then came a recitation by Mr. E. G. Burrell, who was the author of "A Awakens." Mr. Rigard, a captain in the Salvation Army, spoke words of encouragement, especially on education. An anthem was rendered by the choir, "Christian Pilgrims." Mrs. C. E. Burrell wrote her joy at seeing Moron having obtained a charter, despite the many drawbacks and more so to witness the unwelling. She said this charter represents 400,000,000 Negroes, and tonight should go down in the annuals of his church. Continuing, she said that with all the petty jealousy and indifference that has been in this division, it has obtained a charter, and the day won't be far off when it will see a Phyllis Wheale. She spolied Mr. Garvey's words in rhyme, and the day will be given him especially to suit the office he holds in the universe. A recitation followed, "Lord Help Garvey." This was much appreciated. Mr. Edward Scorlet was the next speaker of the evening. Commenting on King John and the Magna Charta, Mr. Scorlet made history for the race just as those men did in ancient days, and the time is not far off when this very charter that is unvalued tonight will bear as much weight as the Magna Charta of England. His address was instructive and brimful of history. Virtue, patience, temperance, purity, generosity, wisdom, qualities in any race or people to bring them within respectful recognition of the world at large. Following was a *tri* by Mr. Butler and others, which was much *enjoyed*. Mr. Joseph A. Todd was the next speaker of the evening. He said the importance of the occasion, the portunity given him on such occasion. Moron, having been re-primed long ago, is now under the supervision of the parent body, and the members must be more careful as to how they move in the association. Briefly stating the number of things to be done, Mr. Todd if the members unite, will advise that the members shake hands and have joy, so that Moron will help as well of the joining members in unity. He held that the members purge themselves and booled him, and did so joyfully in moral standing that will do mand respect in any community (p-plause). Mrs. C. E. Burrowes spoke to the ladies of the Black Cross division, notifying them to make themselves financially independent and so report to the parent body.

At the closing of prayer he made a stirring speech on the motto of the association. He further illustrated facts of history past, of loyal people and of the people of respective governments whose name was left on record. The Negro is not indifferent, so this is our chance to do something that may well be counted in this modern time. At the close of the meeting, the thing is being done for the white man nothing is as I about the Negro, so we must work out our own salvation. The Negro came in the world to live, Africa to repaint Jebwah give. To march again to their fatherland. Mr T Anderson, our second vice-president, then spoke. He took his subject from Acta 7:17. "But when the time of the promises drew night." He explained to the audience that the time of the promises was to come together and to strive for the land of Africa, for God has called the Hon. Marcus Garvey, through his divine plan, as he called to Moses out of the burning bush. He told his hawkers that our leader is a man of vision and of strength. He told his hawkers with one determination for one God, one aim, one destiny. (Applause.) Mrs. C. Bigsby, our lady president, sang a solo entitled "Let Us Hear You Tell It Over." at the conclusion of which she addressed the audience on the air at the Negro Empire, up a Negro empire. By so doing she said the Negroes win demand the respect of the peoples of other nations, as never has the Negro had such an opportunity, hence all should help our leader in this great cause by buying the Negroes and thus become business men and women and hold our own. (Cheers.) A message from our president Mr. J. Mitchell, stated that he was unable to attend on account of illness, but hoped to attend his duty. A restitution entitled "Tex Not," well suited to the occasion, was given by Mr. J. Ramsey. M. A.

An instructive talk was delivered by our Cuban president, Senator Pelintine Botil, in Spanish about the Hon. Marcus Garvey and this great movement, he cheered by the Cubans and West Indies. Senator Thomas Hernandez, a patriotic member of this division, told us that his father and mother had come from Africa to Cuba as slaves, and he hipped that it will not be long before it will be possible for every Negro desiring to be a solo was rendered by Mrs. B. Hibbert, entitled "Singing and Praying," which was appreciatively received. Mr. N. Blairy spoke bristly on the subject of "Indulgence." He informed his hearers that this movement is a searchlight in dark corners to change this ballet of qure. God has given every nation, their nation, and his Marten Garvey has broken the strong denation that, we are victims of, of the conclusion of his qure by the secretary-general address.

"The moving you brought them, MARTIN FRASER them, I take much preparation in presenting to you our first annual report of the Tela Division of the U. N. E.'s A. and A. G. No. 165. On Sunday, June 28, 1929, this division, with a membership of about 185, was born, and it has steadily grown to 250. It is followed by *Fiducian members*, 447 non-financial members, 320; *last* by death, 6; removal, 27. All the principal offices have been filled out, and to say why, the members have joined their positions and remained at. After some moments of conversation, arrangements for the holding at our cupboard began. Leagus to the business place of All other, true, spilt Negro, Mr. William, the organizer of the Cuban Division in Presidency. After further discussion he kept us spilt bound, while speaking of the work. He said he was a lad, and Negro. When he was a lad he exercised in full til Jamaica, for speaking of the Negroes of Jamaica. While there is conversation a big and humbling answer of pain felt, which we considered full. He was a Negro, discouraged. After the meeting the house of Mr. and Mrs. Vernan. Our general secretary, Mr. M. Campbell, has had to resign his position, business reasons complying his leaving officers in order to enable the wheels of our machinery to run smoothly. Since we came into existence we have had the following departments added: The Hon. Advisory Board, the Ladies' chapter sections—one in Progress and one in San Juan; the Black Cross Nurse, the Benevolent Society. We assisted in allevating the wounds of the nurses last year, last year her remains to rest, in addition to two others. Two of our members were buried at the expense of the organization. Its months after our inception we became more fully known when on January 9 last, we unveiled our charter, known now as Charter 165. During the year under review we submitted a report and expanded $1,702.31, leaving balance of $220.32. Besides the amount collected many of the members have subscribed to and are holding stock certificates in the Black Star Line and expanded loan amounting to about $20.00. Taking a reflective view of the year's work just completed, and considering that this movement is on a path that requires frustration and graduate all the civil principles and practices so deeply seated in us for over 400 years by our teachers, and taking into further consideration that we musted out to us by some of our own people, you will agree with me that we have achieved success, you will join with me in the language of the old man "Fifth Estate hath lord helped us." Now! understanding all the objections set to thwart our progress we can say, like Riddy at the glaze. The U. I. N. A. will kindle a sieve in the Tues. that 'the light machines will be able to put the light out. This second annual international convention of Negroes enters upon the fourth and most important week of its sessions with a lively sense of satisfaction over the results of its deliberation to date. There were many who, early in the month, regarded with impatience the latitude extended by the chair to delegate for ventilating divisional and other grievances and in living here, in many instances, the hopes and aspirations, the fears and symptoms of the various communities they represented. As the President appointed, the results of this and subsequent会议 in full approval were a full continuation, reaches its final stage. Each we delegated approached their tasks of corrective and constructive inspiration with refreshing savoir failure. The wheat was adroitly separated from the shaft, the winnowing hay working with remarkable smoothness and clarity. Several excellent institutions, aimed at the correction of black, blondes, were introduced and adopted with but little debate, and legislation of a far-reaching character was enacted. The Hon. Marcos Garvey again occupied the chair in the capacity of acting speaker, interest in the deliberations was increased, the gallery being briefed at every session. Several delusions also joined the concession for the first time during the week under review. As disshadowed in his official speech, the President General introduced a resolution having for its object the establishment of a U. N. L. A. civil service. The discussion on the pressure was lengthy and enlightening and revealed the fact that the organization had suffered in the past through the evages of irresponsible and disheartless officers who disappeared at their own sweet will with the fund, records, etc. of the branches in which they held office. The civil service was intended for remedy this condition and thereby promote confidence where disastrant, now relieved in the various branches, resumes facilitating the work An amalgamation motion by the Hon. J. Diagram, having for its object the establishing of medical and surgical dimensions throughout the world, was carried by a large majority. The motion was strongly opposed by a few thought it beyond the realms of practical politics at the present time. The sponsors of the project therefore, that he was confident of being able to place before the Executive Council when such as would convince them that the measure was capable of fulfilling at little or no cost, to the Azzai al-Aqsa, as a whole, a resolution enjoining the sentiments of the President General, as expressed in his official speech, as articulating the reason for the motion, by the vice President, Birkhoff and enquiries. Mechanical support that these salient points, the plausibility, an instrumental basis, the minimum to be one-half of the motion, should that a printing plant be procured by the organization for making its work, the publication of the Moroccan World being specially burnt in Calcutta. UNIVERSITY and regulations for the govern- erations of the Universal African Education, the Black Cross Nurses and the Motor Corps were carefully formu- lated and passed into law.

Capt. E. L. Gaines, Minister of Legions, and himself, and had been referred to the Executive Council, which had referred it to a special committee for consideration and subsequently ordered that it be printed. The President-General strongly criticized the Executive Council for permitting the book to be printed, remarking that while some parts were very useful, there were clauses in it which were opposed to the real fines and other penalties of the movement. Most of the Executive Council payment denied having given authority for the book to be printed, stating that it had, as far as they knew, never left the committee stage. It was agreed that the book be considered by the convention, clause by clause, during the afternoon session. This was done all references to the Black Cross Nurses, etc., being eliminated.

Fast scoring marked the stay of the Spartans at the wickota, the hat completely mastering the ball. The opening pair of batmen, Walcott and Simpson, laid a good foundation, putting together 68 runs before the latter was dismissed. But the brightest cricket of the day was seen after the advent of W Gibba. Going in at the fall of the second wicket he gave a sound expoition of cricket, reminding one of the days when he did duty for Barbados, the orchid academy of the West Indies. His strokes and crisp cuts were much in evidence, and when at 5 o'clock, Moore declared his innings closed with the score at 233, he was still unbeaten with a familien 68 to his credit. The U. C. G. replied with 164 runs, the homestars thus securing victory by 71 runs. The sting of the U. C. G. was in the "tail." When the eighth wicket fell only 79 runs were registered. Then the Spartan attack seemed to relax and the "tail" wagged with a will. Crosby and Spencer seized their opportunity. The Spartan scored a series of Walcott and Green a hot reception and the score rose by leape and hounds. The finners terminated shortly after 7 o'clock. The Detail Walcott and dumpson paired, the former rookie's first ball from Thorne, which he dispatched to the boundary. Alder conducted the attack from the north end. Runs came freely and when four overts had, bean bowled Henry dipped. Thorne, a green went up from the crown to Brown, the U. C. G. wicket gave Walcott a "life" behind the wickets on a very fast delivery from Alder. Soon after Grosby relieved the offender. Fifty appeared on the scoreboard after half an hour after six runs later, however, L. Holder dissolved the partnership. Glynn charge of the leather, vice Alder at the north end, he was roughly handled, but the last ball, he of the over, Simpson played "unmighty and was well" taken by Captain Reld at mid-rail off after a splendid effort. Greendall filled the snatch. He started anonymously, but after making 18 was described with a wily overt from Alder, who had been installed at the south end. Gibbs sofited Walcott with well arm and leap. took charge of the ball in place of Alder, serving up tamping stumps. His second ever was eventful. With the score at 109 he clean bowled Walcott, who retired with a well played 49 to his credit. A. Simmons partnered Gibbe and signaled his presence by pulling Browne hard to the on-boundary for four. He succumbed a couple of balls later—1. h w. R. Robinson joined Gibbe and runs extra cart and then hit spencer lotty in the long field and was taken by Crawford. E. Hackett was next at the wickets and called to clear his "enr", being clean-bowled immediately by Spencer. The scoreboard read: And the U. N. L. A. supporters reaped their approval. The Black Star Line Band, which discoursed lively at the fall of each wicket, won broke forth with some bewitching melodies peculiar to the West Indies, and those that recognised shouted their thanks to the conductor across the field. H. Joseph, the ingoring batsman, silenced cries for more of "Swift Charlie" by driving hard to the off-boundary for four. Gibbs and he treated the spectators to a scoring treat, 100 soon appearing despite frequent bowing changes. When the score was $25 Moore beckoned them to return. Fifteen minutes later the U. C. C. entered upon their innings. Cooke and Brown pairing. The Spartan attack was intrusted to Roach and Hook, and the same was confirmed by Brown was on the cover of a smart bit of fielding by Gibbs at cover, his contribution being 16. L. Holder filled the vacancy, but was short-lived, sharing the same fate as Browne. The scoreboard read 73-1-4, and Alder joined Cooke. The U. C. C.'s position was not improved, for the newcomer was taken 1 Walcott in the slips off Robinson with the score unchanged. Thorne joined Cooke, who was playing a patient game, and the score rose slowly, the bowling of Robinson and Simpson being treated with great respect. When the score reached 49, Thorne put his log in front of a straight one from Simpson and paid the penalty Henry filled the gap. Eight runs were made and then Henry was taken by Gibba. The Tail Wags Half the team had now been disposed of for 57 runs, and the U. C.'s prospects seemed none too rosace. Reid, the skipper, joined Cooke but failed to stam the tide, being clean-bowled by Robinson three runs later Spencer partnered Cooke and it reemed. He was making when Cooke hit over well pitched-up one from Walcott, his contribution being 28. Crawford next went to the wickets but was dismissed after scoring a brace. Eight wickets had been dismissed for 79 runs and the end seemed in sight when Crosby joined Shenan, Walcott and Greene.

At the conclusion of the game the Hon. Marcus Garvey and party were conducted to a position in front of the Western stand, where they were introduced by Mr. Hunte, a member of the Spartan C. C. The latter expressed the pleasure the club felt at having with them no distinguished a visitor as the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and regretted that owing to the severe strach placed upon the president's voice during the sessions of the conference, the afternoon. His Grace the Chaplin-General of the U. N. L. A., Dr. G. A. McGuire, would, however, speak for his chief. Dr McGuire in a happy speeched a tribute to the Spartan C. C., who he said, had acquitted themselves so creditably on the field of sport in the part that the U. C. C., an infant institution, fell it an honor to be allowed to try conclusions. He congratulated the teams on the excellent sporting spirit shown during the game and said it was a good augury for the future of sport in the country. He also to the unimpired, the veteran W. Reppard and A. Alleyne, and ended by wishing both clubs a long and glorious life. The Hon. Marcus Garvey was then asked to come forward. He went to the centre of the ring and was given a great ovation. The two captains and several of the high officials of the U. N. L. A. were then introduced to the gathering. Prof W. M. Ferris in the course of a few brief remarks returned to the pleasure it gave him to witness the prowess of the Negro on the field of sport. He recalled the recent remarkable achievement of Gourdin, of Harvard, who cleared over 25 feet . . . the broad jump, and asserted that the Negro's prowess with muscle and brawn augured well for his mental, moral and financial advancement. The function terminated with the playing of the Ethiopian national anthem.

Phone Audu- ferson throughout the Union present head of the French general staff has a project to make every division in the my consist of two regiments of white troops and one of colored troops, even in time of peace. Realization of this idea, according to its promoters, would have the double advantage of permitting a reduction in the length of the period of military France for its smaller population is compared with that of Germany. Considering European France alone, the nation has barely 40,000,000 people, oppose Germany's 60,000,000, but if the French Colonial empire were included then France would have 80,000,000. The practicability of the plan has been proved. It is thought, by the services rendered to France during the world war by its colonial troops. Against the French colonies furnished 221,000 working men and 483,000 emissaries. The value of the latter is attested by the fact that 20 per cent. of them were h...d. At the time of the war, they were under army eighty-three battalions and Tunisian riflesmen, twelve battalions of Moroccan, utmost-two of West Africans, seventeen from Indo-China, ten from Madagascar, one from Somalia and one from the French Pacific Islands, a total of 218 battalions. The project now under consideration would include $80,000 colonials in France's peace-time army. It must be recalled that eightth-century ideas of democracy and equality still persist very largely in France, with the result that there is practically no prejudice against Arabs and very little against blacks or Mongolians, although certainly enough there is more against the former. One serious question against the former, such troops as the Semengue would ever really become acclimated to the clammy rigors of a French winter. 13 453 Piece MADE TO CARDER SUIT SAVE 60 EXTRA CHARGED Earn $60 Cash Weekly FREE - BIG SAMPLES SPENCER HEAD COMPANY Downtown Telluride, Colorado 817-260-6300 FREE FASHION BOOK MAILED UPON REQUEST No. 422; PRICE $2.50 REAL HUMAN HAIR All our wigs are hand made and strictly so order from maker to wearer.
