The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Autographed Negro THE Roaking the Man of Negro Everywhere Negro World ONE GOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race. AN APPEAL TO THE INTELLECTUAL NEGROES OF AMERICA AND THE WEST INDIES VOL. XI. No. 0 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The world in which we live is so upset, because of the injustices done to the weak and oppressed everywhere, that we may expect a universal upheaval at any time. Europe is rocking with social unrest; the millions who were used in the war for battering down the military fortresses of Germany, the one-time heroes of civilization and of humanity, are stranded by the millions in England, in France, in Italy, and in other countries from which they went into the war. The pangs of hunger strike the unemployed millions and they are now crying out to the very heavens for a change, whether of condition or constitution, that will give them bread and ensure their everlasting happiness. We cannot afford to ignore, therefore, the signs of the times. It is time that we think in the direction to which humanity is traveling. Peoples everywhere are traveling toward industrial opportunities and greater political freedom. As a race oppressed, it is for us to prepare ourselves that, at any time the great change in industrial freedom and political liberty comes about, we may be able to enter into the new era as partakers of the joys to be inherited. Because we desire happiness, because we desire peace, because we desire freedom of mind and body and of political action, that is why we are asking you everywhere to organize yourselves into the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Everything we do must be done through organization—organized power, organized force. If we are to dig a ditch, we must get the men with the pick and the shovel and organize them into a working force; we must get the teamsters with their mules and their carts to remove the debris as it is dug by the laborers who handle the picks; then you must have the superintendent to see that the work is done, that no man keeps idle on the job; that is organization in productive labor, and as of this, so if we desire to construct a magnificent building we will have to get the architect to draw his plans, the contractor to give his estimate and prepare his men. He will get his masons, his bricklayers, his carpenters and his hod carriers; he will so distribute them as to make it possible for the building to be constructed in the quickest possible time and with the greatest efficiency. So also if we are to embrace the opportunities of government of our own, we must prepare ourselves for the hour, the day or the time when the chance for constructing such government shall come. Therefore, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is preparing the way today for a greater Africa, an Africa that will reflect the highest achievement of the Negro in statesmanship, in government, in politics, in industry, in education, in science, art, literature and in religion. The world says that the Negro is incapable, the Negro says to the contrary; it is for us, therefore, to prove of what mettle we are made. Lagging behind in the van of civilization will not prove our higher abilities; being subservient to the will and caprices of progressive races will not prove anything superior in us. Being satisfied to drink of the dregs from the cup of human progress will not demonstrate our fitness as a people to exist alongside of others, but when of our own initiative we strike out to build up industries, governments, and ultimately empires, then, and then only, will we prove to our Creator and to man in general that we are fit to survive and capable of ruling our own destiny. How many of you men and women of my race will lag behind? How many of you will continue to say "It cannot be done"? Shame on you for saying that! We should feel that we are men, we should feel that we are created in the image and likeness of the Almighty Architect, we should be positive that what other men have done we can do, we must do. It may seem hard and difficult to make a start at this time of world stagnation and political chaos, but let me say that there never was a better time for the Negro to prove his manhood than at the present. If he can raise himself out of these hard conditions, he will demonstrate to the world his strength of character, his ability to rise over above the handicaps that curried him. Men have elevated themselves from lower depths than we are asking you to rise from today. Men in past, have elevated themselves out of savagery, out of barbarism, paganism, and all that allergen with ignorance, up to the heights of civilization which WE CANNOT AFFORD TO IGNORE THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM AND POLITICAL LIBERTY ·ASKED FOR placed them as masters of the world, and if they have been able to do that in ages past, I repeat, you are able to do it today. Let us button down in our own confidence, let us resolve in our own determination, that the thing can be done. What thing? The thing of industrial emancipation, the thing of independent political sovereignty, and we can prove this no better than on the Continent of Africa that God Almighty gave us as our land of heritage. Some of us in America and in the West Indies today cease at the idea of "Africa for the Africans": may impugn the idea that we should give time to think about making Africa an independent country for Negroes, but let me say to you allly American brother, silly West Indian brother, that the hour of your salvation through Africa is drawing near, and but few African countries will be reduced to slavery, to peggage, to servitude, from which you will never be able to extricate yourself. It may sound good to say that you were born here, that you were born there, and that you do not intend to go anywhere else but where you were born, but let me say to you men the world is small, and humanity, in the many, and various race groups is growing larger every day. A race that was ten millions fifty years ago is today sixty millions. A race that was thirty millions fifty years ago is today ninety millions; how many will they be tomorrow, and the world is not growing larger. What will happen through the multiplication of all these various race groups, of those who are, in power, of those who are strong, those who have at their command the forces of the world, through which they can exploit the weak and ultimately examine them? What will happen to you, the weak and unprepared, when the strong become more numerous and the world remains at its present size? Ah! if you will but think down the future and compare the possibilities of the future with the happenings of the past you will come to the conclusion that there is no other salvation for the Negro but through a free and independent Africa. Ah! brother, I am appealing to you from the depths of my heart, not to allow flattery to destroy your vision of the future, not to allow temporarily happiness to destroy the salvation of your children and posterity, because understand, the world changes as rules and nature becomes more Let us, in creating our own destiny, not before the thermalizing of human justice, of love, of charity and mercy, of equity; upon this foundation let us build us a race, and I feel that the God who is Dyme, the Almighty Creator of the world, shall forever bless this race of ours, and who to tell that we shall not teach men the way to life, to liberty, to tree human salvation. Let us, therefore, remember that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is founded upon the principles of human justice, humanity, liberty and human love, which we practice among ourselves, so that through unity of effort we will be able to demonstrate to others the way they should live. GERMANS, PROTESTING AGAINST OCCUPATION OF FRENCH BLACK TROOPS ON THE RHINE, SPREADING PROPAGANDA OVER WORLD WITH AID OF AMERICAN WHITE WOMAN, ALLEGING BLACK MAN IS IMMORAL LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Evening, Oct. 9, 1921—One of the most vile and vicious statements ever made against the Negro Rate, charging its members with the groestest immorality, and that as being little more than an animal, in his bestial appetites and his inability to control his lust and passions, was read tonight in Liberty Hall to an audience that filled the auditorium to overflowing. The statement was so revolting in its character, and palpably so wickedly false and untrue, that everyone who heard it listened in breathless silence, as a feeling of sludder came over him or her, followed by a feeling of indignation that scarce could contain itself, It is part of a propaganda issued recently from Berlin, Germany, and now being spread throughout the world, in a protest on the part of the Germans against the occupation of the French Black Troops on the Rhine. The occupation by these Germans is regarded as a "Black Horror," like a pestilential disease, a matter "touching every German, without any distinction, of party or creed." One in which those who remain apathetic to it as a disgrace be perpetrated upon them, lose the right of calling themselves German. He read the manifesto, and with it is accomplished defense of the dastardly statement by a Miss Beveridge, an educated American white woman, who at great length and in real Ku Klu language, and like a, typical "cracker" of the South, expatiates upon the侵入性 immorality, as she contends, of the black man. She says that the "Black Horror" has always been a nuisance to the woman (white) in America, and Kilden England, which two governmental institutions allowed the "black savages" who were brought to Europe to kill their Christian white breed." A considerable part of the statement is quoted in this report, and should be studied carefully. The President-General took occasion to comment upon it, and to characterize, style, denomination, if, as a wicked and wieldy figure. To prove this, he pointed out, that the native Africana originally wore pure and innocent, living nothing of immoralities until the white man from Cameroon came to Africa, and assimilated him with these traits, and kept the warp that he was addressed to him. He proved proof of the immorality, one of the black man's烈athers of the white man, and the white woman. He transformed, spurred the traitors not only on the Germans and Athenians, but as well on all those with evil think as they do and are stirring, through false statements, to standard the Nero race, Said Mr. Garner, relating to the height of a true leader, so long as the breath of life he lives will not let such a statement, and the audaciousness, the devilishness, the evilness, to attack an entire race, as being a race of immoral men and women, murderer and savagel. Mr Grays went over the whole history of the black man since he first landed in America, against his will, over three hundred years, and showed how his morals had been corrupted by his white pandemon and slave masters; and that Bingling to initiate the white man's naturally initiated his vices as well as his good traits. "What," asked his "did the native African" hundreds of years know, about divorce?" the United States, and police, while police there are years oppressed and thousands of divorcees, enclosed, wholly by the immorality of white people, while the number of similar cases among the cotton people is comparatively few. Turning from comment on the German propaganda; the Speeckel-German said that, in another twelve months he believed, when the next world conference, said the principled topic of discussion will be on the new Nero, such is the belief in the Nero, the Nero is now tested in fact, the Nero is now tested upon us are international factor, as actually engaged in international politics. and Marcus Garvey, because the latter has produced something new. Fred's Douglas, said Sir William, was a great orator, but had no organization behind him: Booker Washington was chosen by the white people as the Negro leader, and was controlled by Professor Dubois, created the Niagara Movement, which was swallowed up by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Moten, Kelley Miller and other leading colored men were and have been, ever since its inception, dominated by the white, who support and finance it. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has come upon the said as a new, independent, creative force among the Negroes of the world, to lead them from darkness to light. White people fear it, because, on studying the history of the Arabs, and realizing that from people arose a mighty prophet, named Mohammed, they believe that perhaps, in turn, a black Mohammed to federate the black peoples of the world and lead them onward from under the domination of the white race. Negroes should master science, in matters commercial, economic and industrial, on that he will be needed in the world, and his power as a man and a factor in human civilization will be felt. The N. I. A. he declared, realities that manhood and womanhood do not rest upon the color of the skin, or the thickness of the hair, or its texture; but rather "upon the gray matter and the depth of the convolutions and folds of the hemisphere of the human brain" that determine the status of the Negro. Hon. Dr. J. W. U. Eason, the American leader, spoke on "The Shadow of Coming Events" and went on to show how people, by means of a premodification, learn things that are to come to pass. Things of today are casting shadows so shadowed so the future is the world of birth, and those people and nations who treat their citizens, or their subjects aright, with justice, can expect a long and prosperous career, but those guilty of oppressing the people, of depriving them of their rights, political, social and economic, can only expect, as a shadow on the wall, ultimate ruin, decay and extinction. This was only a part of Dr. Eason's address, which was delivered in that dolphin, inspiring style that diffuse a spirit of interest in the progress of the movement, and in encouraging one's enthusiasm for the river, like the starting up of a fresh "breeze" where ambers had begun to jace their fames. Immediately before taking up the offering, the President-General mentioned that her chief executive, Charles will be sent "off tomorrow" in various parts of the country; also new commissioners, all taken from the list of whose who had successfully passed the Civil Service of the U. N. I. A. He also announced that during the whole of the present week and the week following, a revival would be conducted in the interest of gaining new members to the association. Each night this week the Secretary will deliver a special address on the future progress of the river, which she organizes giving that information were distributed in the audience. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921 Hon. Marcus Garvey, in Vigorous Address, Danounces Assertion as Malicious Slander and Falsehood—Defends Race as Being Moral Hon. Marcus Garvey, in Vigorous Address, Danounces Assertion as Malicious Slander and Falsehood—Defends Race as Being Moral NATIVE AFRICANS WERE PURE AND INNOCENT TILL WHITE MAN CAME TO AFRICA AND CONTAMINATED THEM WITH IMMORAL VICES—PREDICTS THAT AT NEXT WORLD CONFERENCE THE NEW NEGRO WILL BE THE PRINCIPAL TOPIC OF DISCUSSION Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis Brings Encouraging Reports from Divisions of U. N. I. A. in Boston, New Bedford and Cambridge, Mass. SIR WILLIAM FERRIS TOLD BY WRITER LATELY RETURNED FROM BRUSSELS AND FRANCE THAT SIX MOST-TALKED-OF-MEN IN EUROPE ARE DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, DE VALERA, GHANDI, EINSTEIN, BERGSON AND MARCUS GARVEY, THE LATTER BECAUSE HE HAS PRODUCED SOMETHING NEW Dr. Eason Says Negro Is Helping Providence Fit Him to Play His Part in World Affairs When the Proper Times Comes cupation of the Rhineland by French colored colonial troops. The heading of the propaganda sheet, which is being distributed all over the world and is now being distributed in America, reads: "Mass Meeting at Hamburg to Protest Against the Black Horror" I will read a few paragraphs: "The mass protest meeting, estimated at 60,000 persons, which has been called by the Hamburg League at Sagebiela, turned out a gigantic manifestation of powerful indignation against the Black Horror. The big hall had been provided, the white hall to be included, and yet half an hour before the beginning the huge place had to be closed by the police to prevent overcrowding. Many thousands waited for admission, in the street, in vain, and had to return home, bitterly disappointed. The old Sagebiela Building had to face during recent years, many an onrush at patriotic meetings, yet never had it withdrawn. The president of the league, Pastor Vase, said in his introduction: "German men and women! In the name of the Hamburg Leguay to Protein Against the Black Horror I give you a hearty welcome. We are said that our expectatrices have not been disappointed; that you have come in thousands so that we can shoot our protest vigorously and emphatically unto the world. It is not a matter of party politics which has brought us here together; the subject standing for discussion tonight touches every German, without any distinction of party or creed. Whover remains apathetic to the disgrace is being perperated upon us by the occupation of the Rhinelands by colored French troops loses, in my eyes, the right of calling himself a German." The speaker said other things, and then introduced Miss Ray Beveridge, an American woman now in Europe—an educated American woman. This Miss Beveridge began her speech thus. then he can only be relied upon with two exceptions—women and alcohol. We must not forget that the black race does not and cannot stand on the same level of culture as the whites. We must never forget that the Negro has less mental power, but all the more sexual desire than the white man, and we all know that the nigger in quenching his thirst resembles a wild animal; he does not know what he is doing. We must not forget that the primitive instincts of the black race can be curbed only by force, by fear of punishment, for our morals are not their morals, our principles not thinai. Why do we in the United States have the lynch law? Because they are where our women are exposed to the nearest threat, should we give some protection to the women. Some—for the nigger knows for certain that he would be hunted down like a wild animal in order to be hanged to the nearest tree, should he outrage a white punishment, he—in spite of this terrible punishment, awaiting him, cannot always govern his animal nature. When traveling in the South in the United States I always have a good look around my room at the hotel to see whether the possibility exists of a nigger stealing in. In South Africa and the Colonies it is the custom for white women to sleep with a revolver under their pillows. It happens not rarely in a town in America that white women disappear. And if a white woman has been dragged to the nigger quarter she will not come out again alive for so much faith I have in my countrymen that from rage for a violated woman to death, fire the whole nigger quarter. In the war our men set when it is a question of their own race; and now white people bring thousands and thousands of black savages to Europe without any black women. These men are given weapons and they are told 'Kill the whites over there; they are barbarians!' And then they are told 'We have opened brothels for you: go there and buy white women for your money.' "In Wiesbaden, close behind the headquarters, is a little lane where such houses of lust for the blacks and houses of shame and martyrdom for the whites have been opened. Impatient, in thick crowds, the black soldiers stand eager for admission. In these houses every girl must receive n black men within three hours. In a small town, like Spyder, three such houses were opened. What effect on the growing youth must such condi- tions have on the blacks as well as of the whites as well as of the whites are gered by employing black troops. The question of a black occupation army in Europe is not a French question nor a German question, but an international question." Morals of Entire Negro Race Attacked This woman, an educated woman—she speaks three or four languages from America, attacks the morals of the Negro race; accuses us of being a race of rapists, of men, of uncontrolled; men who frequent brothers and who are regarded as savages Now, let us come to the truth of it whether the Negro race or the white race is the more immoral. Compare Merals of White and Black - Roses Trace ourselves back to the great continent of Africa three hundred years ago—one hundred years ago, and even before we came into contact with the white man. What did you and in Africa? A native African, could leave his wife and go to the remotest part of the continent, and she would be unmarried by any other, African. The African at home, in the native innside, and admired most amen of humility. He knew nothing of humanity. The spouses of Africa were little, the children of Africa were few, the children of Africa were few. His hybrids, entailed African wives, supported African husbands, especially his hummer, him, that he had his wives. native African, taught him everything that they knew, they brought us from our native climes into their own country and impregnated us with their immorality and with their vice and corruption. The very assemblage that I am addressing tonight is a proof of the white man's immorality, is a proof of the white man's lust, is a proof of the white man's viciousness. Placing Blame for Conditions Com- plained of But this woman (Miss Beveridge) attacks the French black soldiers and the French Government, saying that the French black soldiers frequent brothels behind the lines. Who placed those brothels there? It was not the French Government; it was the German women, seeking money, who put up those brothels behind the black lines on the Rhineland. All those who know, who have traveled, know that there is no more artful woman in the world than the white woman. (Great apause.) She is the first woman who sold herself for money and taught the world prostitution. (Renewed loud apause.) The darger races in their native purity knew nothing of immorality. Says Attack Against Morals of Black Men Is a Lie The top talk about the black man being vicious and desiring white women. It's a lie! I will say that during the construction of the Panama Canal, white women not only protracted themselves with black men, but with anybody, for money. White women at that time from all parts of Europe and America came to the Panama Canal—from Italy, from Spain, from Portugal, from France, from England, from Ireland, from Scotland, from Germany, from thousands of Negroes, West Indian and American Negroes, were working and earning large sums of money, and opened brothels in Panama and Colon and sought black men. (Great explainer.) Not only German women are capable of putting up brothels, but all white women, because in Panama, at the Panama Canal, they represented every white nation on the face of the globe; and those of you who have been in the Panama Canal Zone will remember that you were unable to walk in peace in certain parts of Colon being hailed by white women I repeat. To say that black men as a whole are immoral is true, but this is a white women in Germany who put up those brothels in the Rhineland to encourage, to entice the black soldiers. The audaciousness of the effrontery of the thing, for this woman to attack an entire race as being a race of immoral men and women and savages! Negroes Must Defend Against Attack's Their Race Integrity We must realize this, that we have our race integrity to maintain. We must realize this, that God Almighty placed us here, not by accident, but for some purpose. He made us what we are, and it is our divine right to protect the integrity of our race. (Applause). And whether the attack comes from us or from us, it will be so long as I breathe the breath of life I will not leave it unhallowed. I am against the occupation of the Rhineland by Negro soldiers, because they have no right there: their places is in Africa; not on the Rhineland, but on the Nile land. (Laughter and applause.) That's where their place is. I am against the occupation, but I may that the attack made by this Miss Beveridge is a vicious one, and we cannot allow it to go without expressing our strongest and deepest resentment against it and branding it a most wicked and diabolical li. That woman knows, because if you will read her pamphlet—and we are going to reproduce it in the Negro World—you will know that she has not one complaint really, that is logical, that *t* is truthful, against any black man. The black man did not take himself to the Rhineland; the white man took him there; and whatever they have, to complain of because of the result of his being taken there, no one but the white man is to be blamed. And then, went down to Africa, so they have moved to India, and all and corrupted the morals of the weaker peoples in those countries; yet they have the "nerve," the erritory, to tell us that we are immoral! Such absurdity! Such goosenest! How long are they going to persist in this fierce, this life? God Almighty, Who created man, is not asleep. How can He countenance such a lie—telling us that they are so highly developed intellectually and morally while we are so deeply stepped in immorality and lack of mentality? They, as a matter of fact, are the most deprived people in the world Strong Evidence of Immorality Against White Race What did the Negro know about divorce courts in Africa* (Laughter) Take up the legal annals of Africa five hundred years ago—three hundred years ago, before they brought us alive and you can find no evidence of divorce courts or divorce case among the natives there. But in America, in England in France, in Germany there are divorce cases by the millions every year Why* Because they are so immoral One white man cannot leave his wife for half an hour before another fellow is rot in her company, committing a crime against society, still this woman (Miss Boveridge) has the monumental audacity to place the blame on the Negro because the Negro's shoulders are so broad that they feel they should place the burden on them. But we are going to throw off all the burden placed there. No Apology for Denouncing Slander Upon Race And I want you to realise this. That these attacks against us, these slanders upon our race, you have to tackle without apologizing for it. The world is now dealing with the New Negro; and, as I said last Sunday night, if there is no better opportunity, if there is no larger scope for liberty, then let us fight against the Negroes down the world and bring on against the white man the judgment of mankind and of God. (Applauses.) The New Negro will not be trifled with. U. N. I. A. a Power To Be Reckoned With I am glad that they realize that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a power to be rocked with, not only in America, but in Africa. Through evolution we have started to demonstrate to the world the power and the potency of the Negro. They may laugh, even those among us over the principles and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and say that they are impossible; but let me tell you, in another two months there is going to be another big world conference, and the "Now Negro" will be the topic of that conference. (Applausi.) If they think that 400,000,000 colored men and women are going to let the world crush them to murder them, to burn and lynch them, they make a big mistake. for if we must lynch we have decided that before we allow ourselves to be lynched one by one we must be lynched 400,000,000 strong (Applausi). For I tell you when that day of lynching comedie and the lynching party is over, the lower animals will occupy the world' (Laugher) Because man will have gone home to his God. (Renewed laughter) The Negro in a Serious, Desperate Mood The Negro is in a serious, desperate mood and I am only sorry that we have so many weak-kneed apologetic Negroes among us. If we could get these weak-kneed philosophers to stand up on their knees just for half an hour and behind the Universal Negro Imprisonment, we could be able to shake the pillars of the world (Applause). Of course, they realise now that the "black peril" is on. The Negro Now in International Politics I read again in the Times this morning where a review of a book later published in Germany was reproduced, and the author of the book, a German prophesied that the next war will be between certain European countries and Japan, and that in the great mix up the Negro peoples of the world will declare for the freedom of Africa (Applause! Here we have gotten a new book to begin that: Ah, Ah! And the book to begin all over the world! So that they all will it now that the Negro is in international politics; and they is no longer confined to the narrow political ward or the narrow political district of the past, but he is now taking a part in international politics; and they have started out to consider him as an international figure. Sir William Ferry says they are talking about me in Europe. They are not taking yet. (Laughter.) Let them talk after the battle; then I will be pleased; then I will become bigoted and "dictate" (Laughter). Some Negroes say of me: "Well, Garry he changed; he is just the same Garry; he now has a little better character." Garry he changed; change for what? What I change about it? We haven't done anything until after I have heard—and through my own efforts, too—that Africa has won the day, and has planted the oars of the Red, the Black and the Green forever on the hippopotamus (Thunderstorms applause!) Not until that day will I hold my head down; until then I will hold my head down; in deep study in planning out the campaign, and after the victory I will pass it over to younger minds (laughter), because they will have vision, and I will become the dreamers of laughter. and they shall interpret my dreams. A Brighter, Better Day Coming for Negroes Men and women of African blood. Men and women of America, men and women of the West Indies, do not lose courage! A better day is coming, and though the pressure seems hard now and though conditions seem difficult, there is a silver lining behind it all. All that is wanting how among Negroes is organization and sticking together if we can only get the Negroes of the world to stick together, tomorrow morning our battle will be won. That all (Applause). They fight us; they keep us down, simply because they know we are divided, and they are now waging a propaganda to keep us divided. But the Universal Negro Improvement Association, through the help of God Almighty and through the leadership of Jesus Christ, is bringing men everywhere to realize that through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and through it only lies the destiny of the Negro. Gratitude and Thanks to Those Who Have Helped in the Movement I thank you for the help you have given us in this great movement of ours. I thank you for the moral and support you have given us and that you have supported us in association to where it is today. Continue the good work, my men. Continue the good fight, my women. And God will bless you and us and our whole race, and enable us ultimately to realize our fondest hopes and our present anticipation of a free and a redeemed Africa, where forever shall float in the breeze the Red, the Black and the Green. SIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS SPEAKS Sir William H. Ferris, assistant president general, spoke as follows Your Excellency the Providential President of Africa, Hon. Members of the Executive Council, Fellow Members of the New York Local I happened to meet at dinner yesterday a gentleman who has just come from England, Belgium and France. He says that his Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey is one of the six men most talked of in Europe today. (Applause: They are. Lloyd George, Do Valerian Einstein, Ghand, Bergstrom and Marcus Garvey, and the reason is that he has produced something new under the sun. Frederick Donglesa was a wonderful orator, but he had no organization of black men behind him. When he did our good Caucasian mission picked up a leader for us and presented us. Dr. Booker T. Washington. Those white men organized the organization of white men behind him, and co-founded them. Then Dr. Du Bois started the Niagara movement, and the white people swallowed that up and changed into the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and they felt they could control Major Moton, Prof. Kelly Miller and Dr. Du Bois. But in the Universal Negro Improvement Association they see a new Negro force. Those white men who have studied history look back 1 000 years and they realize that at one time the Arabs were a few scattered Boudou tribes. Then came one Mahombi, who unified them under the banner of religion and sent them as an avalanche across Asia and across Europe. They do not know but what the Hon. Marcus Garvey may be another Mahombi, who will federate and organize the black peoples of the world. Virgin Islands Clamoring for Garvayville I also met yesterday a gentleman from the Virgin Islands. He says the people in the Virgin Islands and in Porto Ilco are clamoring for strong, brainy men to come from head to head. He says the Universal Vega Improvement Association and coral members. Last week and week before last the Eugene Conference met in New York city. Now eugenics is that part of hygiene and physiology which teaches you to propagate and rear strong offspring. In every place before where the race question was discussed they always talked about a superior white race and an inferior black race, but this time they talked about a superior white race and inferior white races. They have realized that there is some distinction among themselves and that all the white man are not superior, as they imagined at one time; and T-be lives that fifty years from now they will be talking about a superior black race and an inferior black race, because the Universal Negro Improvement Association will stamp its personality upon some members of the black race that they will go forth believing in their God and their destiny and accomplish and achieve not only in this hemisphere but on the sunlit plains of Africa. (Applauses.) (Continued on p. 222) "AMERICANS, LISTEN TO YOUR COUNTRY WOMAN, MISS RAY BEVERIDGE?" Mass Meeting at Hamburg to Protest Against the Black Horror—American Women and Girls, Relieve Us from the Black Shame!—The German Women and Girls! (The to loving news article is reproduced from a propaganda sheet now being published in America by a German Patriotic League. The object of the sheet is to lift up hatred against the Negro soldiers now in France. Yet the statements made do further than that and attack the entire black race. The following headlines belong to the circular.) The mass protest meeting (estimated at 50,000 persons) which had been called up by the Hamburg League at Stagebuild turned out a gigantic manifestation of powerful indignation against the Black Horror. The big hall had been provided, the white hall had to be included and yet half an hour before the beginning the huge place had to be closed by the police to prevent overcrowding. Many thousands waited for admission in the street in vain and had to return bitterly disappointed. The old Stagebuild had to face during recent years many an onrush at patriotic meetings, yet never had winced such a scene as thursday. The President of the League, Pastor Wesley, in introduction: German and women. In the name of the Hamburg League to protest against the Black Horror I give you a hearty welcome. We are glad that our expectations have not been disappointed, that you have come here in thousands so that we can shout our protest vigorously and emphatically into the world. people believed—believed in his amply phrases, and the niggers are there: Have the English, the Americans, the French All Come Mad? Do the English and Americans who are the only ones who have understood the nigger problem, not realize what this will lead to in the future? If they—under military pressure—turn white citizens out of their homes in order to set up there official brothels for the blacks who can buy there white women for money. This fact alone suffices to deprive the white race of the world's dominion. Do these governments not realise that they are rendering it impossible in the future for a white woman to accompany her husband to the colonies? Do my countrymen not know that our women in the South are thereby exposed to yet the dangers than in the past? Have the lesbian men of the countries last them in white race, our white women to perilation, and if women cannot rely any more upon the men, then the women of the whole world must collate to free our sisters. It is not a matter of party politics which has brought us here together. The subject standing for discussion today touches every German without any distinction of party or creed. Whoever remains apathetic to the disgrace which is perpetrated on us by the occupation of the Rhinelands by colored French soldiers, loses in my eyes the right of calling himself a German. At the moment we are a nation disarmed. But justly a German-american has recently pointed out in a Hamburg paper that our enemies themselves have placed two weapons into our hands which we must make use of, until they have given us relief. The one is: Rolling up the question as to the guilt of the war. That question has been discussed in this half a fortnight ago and I hope that its discussion will never rest until the atmosphere of lies which hostile propaganda so masterly spread over the whole nation has been brought by victorious truth. (Great aplause). The other weapon is to point out the fact that the French ofiment is using colored troops in order to control and torment a nation of such culture as the German nation. Even if no transgressions—no murders, no violations, no crimes of assaulting children, no harm in hygienic and moral respect were committed by these troops, the mere fact of their presence on the Rhine must fill us with just indignation and must appear as an unimpedible blow to culture and you would be ashamed of being the most shameless things are happenings along the Rhine the blame for which lies with those who maintain these colored troops. We thank our guest, Miss Ray Beveridge, most heartily that she has traveled all the way from Bavaria to come here in order to place her experience of what is happening on the Rhine, at the service of our national cause. Before I call on the speaker I would remark: In order that no one be hooded with the pressure to imagine that the resultable by coercions on German men, women and children were old and a matter of the past and that things were in the best along the Rhine. I may mention that six days ago I received a letter from a brother clergyman from All-Al-Chapelle in which the morders of a German workman and of a German policeman by Moroccan are described. Those crimes were committed during the night from the 1st to 2nd of June. The horror thus continues. HIGG GAY BEVERIDGE I blame not only the French but all so-called victorious governments, especially my own country where the Black Herder has always been a messenger to us woman. I blame America and England that they have ever allowed that black expropriation were brought to Europe to kill their Christian white brethren, that they did not oppose vigorously. We all know that the German nation would never had had down their arm if they had not believed in Wilhelm's 26 points. I blame the civilized world that they show complete indifference to a bloodless, unhindered, unarmed Germany. I blame masking that putting is being done to restore justice and real peace. I blame the whole world that being ashamed as to forge the Germans into a defeated nation. I blame the side who helped them on the other side, who helped them on the other side, who helped them on the brutal side of the Black Savages, who Wilhelm promised and the German people believed—believed in his empty phrases, and the niggers are there! Have the English, the Americans, the French All Become Mad? Do the English and Americans who are the only ones who have understood the nigger problem, not realise what this will lead to in the future? If they—under military pressure—turn white citizens out of their homes in order to set up there official brothels for the blacks who can buy there white women for money. This fact alone suffices to deprive the white race of the world's dominion. Do these governments not realise that they are rendering it impossible in the future for a white woman to accompany her husband the colonies? Do my countrymen need that our women in the south are there to do yet more dangers than in the past? The leading man of the countries lost their reason? For blindly they condemn our white race, our white women to perdition, and if w women cannot rely any more upon the men, then the women of the whole world must collaborate to free our sisters in the occupied territory. (Applause.) I appeal to all the women of the world! I appeal to all men still worthy of the name. Help! White women, white girls, white boys are in danger daily, hourly! And such danger will exist as long as a single black is justified in exercising control over whites more I appeal to the German men in the occupied territory: Your weapons have been taken away from you, but there is always a tree. Take up the natural weapons used by our men of the South—iyishu. (Applause.) Hang every black who assaults the white race. Then let the world decide whether you or the French were to blame. And even if you have to die as martyrs, then you die as heroes—worthy of Germany. The American singer Hutman told me once that he was present at the burning of a live nigger at the stake. He says that several officials looked on and did not interfere with the crowd carrying out their work. It lasted 40 minutes until the victim ceased "Shall you ever forget" the spectacle I required. "No," was the word the sight of the laceded corps of the little girl which had been outraged, I shall never forget." This kind of punishment is still carried out in America. The first lecture, which I gave at the Berlin University, has found an echo throughout the whole world, and in spite of the Wilton government doing its best to suppress officially the spread of the truth of these facts in the occupied territory, enormous indignation meetings have been held in America. Congressman Britten of Illinois had the honor of being the first to bring the facts of the crimes by the black occupation troops before the American Congress; at the same time he prevailed on the liberation of German women and the freedom from the scourge, by 20,000 Americans. Mr. Britten said: "I cannot believe that the civilized nations will tolerate any longer the occupation of the Rhineland by semi-civilized African troops. (Thundering applaud.) Not Only the Women of the World Haves Protested. but even well known English and French officials have given utterance to their indignation about the brutality of the blacks to which the unprotected young women and girls and even matrons in the occupied districts are exposed. In connection with this the French Foreign Office said on January 4, 1921. The protest by Congressman Britten has been somewhat unnecessary, as for some months no French black troops have been on the Rhine. Recently the French War Office has published a report asserting that investigations had proved that the accusations raised against the blacks were untrue. No documents existed proving that the charge of blacks having been on the civilian citizen were true. Before I spoke at a Japanese Interment Meeting on June 14, in several French offices of the garrison came to my residence, but as I happened to be at Keslingen, they were received by my sister whom they requested to ask me not to hold a meeting. I asked an quitmation from Keslingen that I would not hold the meeting if the French Government would withdraw the black troops. These of course were given greater alliances for my speech. Then already the French Government could have investigated affairs if they had wanted to do so. Later I wrote to Gummerman Binnington council in Berlin and asked for payment from the British government for the capped territory in order to hide the imperial report on the condition. PRINTED SHEETS BEING SCATTERED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND NOW IN AMERICA there Though such permission was not given I carried out my investigations. I entered Upper Silesia without French visa and the knowledge of the French. There I could carry on my investigations as the French were unaware of my presence, for I had come by motorcar and did not reside at a hotel. Once more I offer myself, with the French, to travel through the occupied district. But I assert publicly here that the French will never grant me this permission, for they are afraid of me as they exist in the occupied territory being made public. Mrs. Burton, a well-known English traveler in Upper Silesia, was expelled by the French within three hours. I assert also that the Foreign Office has told a lie when they informed my government that there were no black troops on the Rhine. I also assert that the French War Office spoke an untruth that they assured my government that they investigated the accusations against the French troops and had no proof of collusion and had illicitly illiterated the German population. They need only refer to their own court-martial proceedings in order to corroborate my statement. Two exceptions. Women and alcohol. We must not forget that the black race does not and cannot stand on the same level of culture as the white man. We must never forget that the Negro has less mental power, but all the Negro has a less sexual desire than the white man. And we all know that the Nigger, in Guessing His Thirst, Resembles a Wild Animal. He does not know what he is doing. We must not forget that the primitive institutes of the black race can only be curbed by force, by fear of our moral means, for our morals our principles not theirs. Why do we in the United States have the brench law? Because there, where our women are exposed to that great danger, it is the only means of giving some protection to the women. Some, for, though the nigger knows for certain, that he would be hunted down like a wild animal in order to be on the nearest tree, should he outrage the woman, he—in spite of this terrible punishment—a waiting him—cannot always prove his animal nature. When traveling in the German of the United States I always have a good look around my room at the hotel to see whether the possibility of a considerable decrease of population, what it does for the blacks in Europe? Days and nights of fictitious torment, for those men have a fearful wild sexual desire. Although the German population has been compelled by French soldiers to open brothels for them, in some towns these men cannot be more than once in several weeks. This is insufficient for a young black. And then—overpowered by a passion which they have never learned to control—these men go along lonely roads to meet white women, girls and youth and not iniquously夸纳 matrons whom they then violate. Even children they attack. What does the French black occupation army mean for the Germans? The Following Facts from the Occupied District will give you an idea. It is a fact that 60 per cent of the children, begor French soldiers, come into the world tainted with syphilis (Emotion). It is a fact that bastards may inherit the bad qualities and vices of both parents—a fact that thousands of black men in the compulsory brothels will walk with their sexual dimorphism. The following words from a speech by Mrs. La Follette, which she made at Washington at the foot of the Benjamin Franklin monument at Christmas prove of what importance such protests can be. The wife of the well-known Senator La Follette said: It is not for the restitution of military Germany that German women raise their voices imploringly; they only ask to spare their milk-cows so that they can save their badly nourished and starving children. Here in the most sacred day of Christianity, close to the door of the Capitol, we women of America take catho to use our voting power against the election of any Congressman or Senator who stands for war and militarism and to elect only those Congressmen and Senators who are in favor of true peace. If later on, a true history of the late war will be written, it will be shown that the war was not a campaign of arms, but foremost of all a campaign of lies. (Stormy Appelta.) By Lies the Nations of the Earth Have Been Set Against Each Other. By pow lest they then have been lashed into hate. By lies we have the German people were induced to lay down our arms. Even the famous Vernacular Tales a lie, for the Imperialistic French, inexplicated by victory and filled with hatred, and others, have not even kept to the vile document which they forced on you. And now France has moreover the check to lie about the colored troops. But that last lie we shall squash when Congressman Britten the vice commissioner of the committee. That the French Government has stones unturned to prevent such an investigation. I am sure of, for they have a mortal fear of such researches. Are you aware my German, that this proud new France, intoxicated with victory is really a very miserable country? She is cowardly afraid of you even today, and I firmly believe that if you Germans only would hold together and place your country above party politics, if you at last became one of people—even if you had no other hope, you might still be worried would soon witness the face of "blind front" of the French occupies army disarming across the frontier. Who has won the war? Not France, not England, not Poland, but America. Who can enforce an honest peace? Only America. My sister recently received a letter from a relation, James A. Patten, one of the richest and most influential men of Chicago, a stock-american, formerly Anti-German. He is a Republican, therefore of the new government party. He writes: Although I am the most views of the war, I believe that we come now to give a balping hand to Germany and Austria and to give them the chance of rising again, so that they again become nations, for I consider it unjust to annihilate a vanquished foe." He continues: "I am sure you have seen the ruthless of the presidential election. It was practically a vote of censure on President Wilson and his theories. Wilson had megalomaniacal illusions about his power and his power of judgment. He believed that the only living being able to carry out the will of the Almighty. Now he appears, however, that mankind does not believe in him and his ideas." I never entertained any doubt as to Germany's recovery and remembrance out of her own power. But this letter gives me the certainty that Germany, if only the is united at diplomacy is very near to receiving assistance from abroad. That now to return to the migrants I am, but my message is not military for the present Name, it treated properly, is good and easy, so that his must be treated fairly and strictly. And even then he may only be raised upon with the exceptions. Women and alcohol. We must not forget that the black race does not and cannot stand on the same level of culture as the whites. We must never forget that the Negro has less mental power, but all the more sexual desire than the white man. And we all know that The Nigger, in Quenching His Thirst Resembles a Wild Animal He does not know what he is doing. We must not forget that the primitive instincts of the black race can only be curbed by force, by fear or punishment, for our morals are not the morals, our principles not the why. Why do we in the United States have the lynch law? Because there, where our woman are exposed to that great danger, it is the only means of giving some protection to the women. Some—for, though the nigger knows for certain, that he would be hunted down like a wild animal in order to be hanged to the nearest tree, should he outrage a white woman, he—in spite of this terrible punishment awaiting us to see whether the possibility exists of a nigger stealing in. In South Africa and the Colonies it is the custom that every white woman sleeps with a revolver under her pillow. It happens not rarely in a town in America that white women disappear. And if a white woman has been dragged to the nigger quarter, she will not come out again alive, for so much faith have I in my countrymen that from rage for a violated white woman they would set fire to the whole nigger quarter. A Question of Their Own Race And now white people bring thousands of black savages to Europe with any black women. These men are given the white women they are told: "Kill the whites over them; they are barbarians." And then they are have opened brothels for you, so you and buy white women for your money." Mas Mankind Gone Saving Mad! In Wiesbaden close behind the headquarters of the French commander is a little lane where such houses of just for the blacks, and houses of just for martyrdom for the whites have been opened. Impatient, in thick crowds the black soldiers stand angered. In these houses every girl must ten black men within three houses! In a small town like Sperre three years were captured. What effect on the growing youth such conditions have? The morals of the blacks as well as of the whites are endangered by employing black troops. The question of a black occupation army in Europe is Not a French Question, Not a German Question, but an international One and its importance will be felt by all countries. Especially important it is for the black. We must remember that the black, just like the white, have their own code of morals. Should then three wives living under a tropical sky exist like nuns? Should these wives in Africa during the best part of their lives be condemned to be shout out from conception? To be childless is a disgrace to a black wife. To be childless means to be dead and tear! Children are part and piece of black, are part of his capital. What then is the result for Africa? Wives remain barren or become gay women in connection to the moral code of the country! And the black men in Europe have been enlisted by French millitarians and thus been deprived of their own living values. This means for Africa a considerable decrease of population, what does it mean for the blacks in Europe? Days and nights of fettleh torture, for these men have a fearfully wild sexual desire. Although the German population has been compelled by the French soldiers to open brothels for these men; in some towns these men cannot go more than once in an early weeks. This is insufficient for a young black. And then—overpowered by a passion which they have never learned to control—these men go along lonely roads to meet white women, girls and youth and not infrequently adorn matrons whom they then violate. Even children they attack. What does the French black occupation army mean for the Germans? The Following Facts from the Occupied District drop the half and of these girls on the ladies foot. It is a foot that parents cannot punish their daughter teachers their public oppressors and the police the young people for marrying immoral intercourse, with blacks on Frenchmen, families. This would be an appeal to the "Grange Nation," and that last November and December a French black power, Lieutenant Glaney, took part in seven police court additions as assistant to the indict. This black acquitted an unpleasant prejudice by using every opportunity to show his contempt. for the accused, while, affiliation.) It is, in invulnerable that such disgraceful conduct, aliquot, be prosecuted on his own self. If it is a fact that an innocent girl, Ophengaen, is being abet by white French people, it is a fact that the French soldier demanded for a French soldier living in a darkous street of tariff, or written gold marks as compensation, but quod then $2,000 sufficient for a German girl.

So many divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been organized and chartered dur- ing the past year that it would require a paper five times the size of The Negro World to print all of the interesting articles, mews items and let- ters that are gent to ys each week. Therefore we would like for our correspondents and vores to make their articles and letters as brief as possible. We would prefer reporters and secretaries instead of send- ing weekly reports of regular meetings, to send in reports of big meetings and special meetings. With nearly six hundred chaneres ai- visions, over one hundred unchartered divisions, and over one hundred chapters, it would require a newspaper twenty times the size of The Negra World to print weelly reports of every division and every chap- ter.

Mankind is so situated that it does not recognize a body or a race or a nation until that race becomes strong. Just as you will see a dog chase a cat but not attempt to chase a bigger dog or a man, so smaller nations do not attempt to chase stronger races and nations. Negroes Must Master Modern Science The only thing for the Negro to do is to master all the techniques of modern science and modern industry, endeavor to cultivate his brain, develop his heart and mind and wield and federate his forces and make himself so strong in the scientific, commercial economic and industrial world that his aid will be needed and his power will be feared and dreaded, and when the Negro race accumulates strength, when he will be able to win in the council of men, he will not then be ashamed of the color of his skin and the texture of his hair. Some of our people have heard about much talk about white superiority and white supremacy that they have imagined that it was the lightness of the skin and the finesse and texture of the hair which determined superiority and white supremacy. But through the Universal Negro Improvement Association the Negro has realized that manhood and womanhood does not rest upon the color of the skin or the finesse of the feature or the texture of the hair it is not the texture of the hair but the hair which determines the colour, solution and folds of the hemispheres of the human brain that determine a man and determine his status. And when the Negro can respect itself when it is proud of its own achievements proud of its own possibilities when he can look back on the pages of human history and feel that Humans are the only species that can be Tousled L'uverture belonged to the blood and breed, and that as they accomplished in the past and wrote their names in letters of blood in the blood-stained pages of human history he can do likewise. When he gets that faith he will go on and tunnel his way to the lightness of the skin and make himself respected among the annals of man (Applause). LADY HENRIETTA V. DAVI8 SPEAKS Visits Boston and Cambridge Division I have just returned from a visit to our division in Boston. I also visited divisions in Boston and Bedford. I find our people hungry and thirsting for the truth about the organization and the Negroes of the world. I find them reading the Negro World greedily. I find them studying the constitution; I find them studying the history; I find them about this organization, and one of the wonderful things about this organization is that it is not a secret organization. U. N. J. A. Not a Secret Organization The organizations that have flourished among our people have been secret organizations such as the Masons and the Old Fellows and the Samaritans where they have a grip and a password and a high sign and the sign of distress and all that sort of thing. But they would howl it is that Marcus Garvey has drawn into this wonderful organization so many of our people without having a mystery about it, without having some great secret about it—without having a grip. But this grip we have in the grip that binds the hearts of the people because they mean liberation and spiritual emancipation. They know that it is founded upon truth and honor; that it means the liberation and the spiritual emancipation of our people throughout the world. We have not only been industrially and commercially unloved, but we have not been the worst slavery in the world. When a man or a woman Las not the freedom of his or her spirit, what is life to them? Because after all, that is the great thing—the spirit of the person or the spirit of the thing. And so the spirit of this organization is been echoed and re-echoed in the breasts of millions of color's people or Negroes or whatever you please to call them—I for myself, prefer the word Negro because it stands for something. It is a strong word. It is a write word; it is a full of life. Colored something means full of life. Dyed, no, I was born this way. (Laughter, no) The division in New Bedford, while it is not large in numbers, yet it is growing. It is a pleasure indeed to visit the division in New Bedford. We have a great spirit to get to know in spite of impediments. They have impediments in New Bedford as well as they have in Boston and Cambridge and everywhere for that matter. But those people mean to overcome impediments Quite often, Mr. Grobe about 19 years old, quita a boy yet you may say, but so enthused in he so practical is he in this work that older men and older women gladly follow him. And that they shall rise up and be leaders, that they shall gain the confidence of the community which they live by their uprightness of character and habits. And so Mr. Grobe is an inspiration to young people and to young men esp. those who shall rise up and be leaders instead of indulging in Influencies such as many young men of his age do, that young man has chosen to lead his people in that community, having been elected to the office that he holds by the University of the University of New Bedford Improvement Association of New Bedford. I found also in Cambridge that notwithstanding very many setbacks there because of conditions and circumstances, that they are still growing in numbers, that they are still fighting under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green, that they are still preparing to take part in the great celebration in Cambridge, celebrating the 65th year of the founding of the city of Cambridge. You should know of Harvard University; you know what a great seat of learning there is, and you should celebrate will be. And our division of the Universet Negro Improvement Association will have a place in that great parade. They are flying to decorate their Library Hall that stands on the main street of Cambridge, Mass., and the procession. We may not be so large in Cambridge, but they will certainly see the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green inscribed with the Universal Negro Improvement Association in gold letters upon that banner; they will certainly see the Black Cross on the main street of Cambridge, Mass., and the Legion, they will certainly see the uniform of our African Legion, and those white people—the professors of Harvard will sit up and take notice of our bunch of people as they pass by. They will not be lost in that great color, they will be colorful, they will be colorful to the procession and everybody will know that they are there. That is the way to do it. We do not need to hang back because in many of the cities we are but few in number, but when anything of a public nature goes on let us take our part too. We will be here, we will be here, we will be heating too long, but the spirit of the Universet Negro Improvement Association has gotten into us and we are going to step out and show our colors. The Boston Division The Boston Division, in spite of adversities crises and tribulations, is going on pretty well. They have ventured forth to buy a $1,000 site to build a Liberty Hall on, right on the corner of Tremont street right up in the business district among our people. They are not discouraged because there are hundreds of men and women out of employment, they are hopeful, knowing that the city is riotous living before prohibition as now being diverted into the coffers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association And as he rehearses, goes on and gives us hope for the future, feeling that what we have accomplished in four years gives us an earnest of what we will accomplish in the next year or this. This is a wonderful hope that is given American Negroes are placed as one-tenth of the population of the United States of America, yet this one-tenth has taken on an determination that nothing can dampen; we are determined to go forth and to conquer, notwithstanding the petty politicians that we have among us—and we have thousands of little office and they forseke the rest; they do not think anything about the race. They only think of themselves. In reading the Cleveland Gazette (a colored paper) I found that made me mention of two office seekers who蒲闷 leaning around Washington, the capital of the United States, since the 4th of July, when the first of them had at last landed a job, and that job does not amount to much—a little more than a cleftship. That man I knew to be a doctor with a skilled practice; yet he gave up that practice to take a petty office from the Republican party. I thought what are our men coming to that they will March in a petty office in the United States Government, rather work on the civil or on the farm than sell myself to any party. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1921 UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION A copy of the records of all Division Branches Claims and Numbers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been stolen from the Secretary-General's office by some one who was employed by the organization, either as an officer, an employee or an agent. This person, the Secretary, is the person or persons concerned, to write to the members and officers of the Division of the organization for their own sinister or other purpose. Divisional officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association receiving letters from organizations or other movements or individuals, asking them to transfer their allegiance from the U. N. L. A. to theira, or asking any obligation, will ignore such appeals, and will realize immediately that such communication had its origin in the desire to undermine the solidarity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You have joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the realization of an object. You should support it for that object, and not allow others who may be more self-selves to confuse you by distributing your meagre finance in supporting everything, and weakening all, when you could have supported one good thing and make it succeed. Look out for new communications. Send them to our office by order. UNVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General no white man's party, especially for just a little office. When I think of how many times in the past our race has been sold out by the little politicians among us, I wonder how long, Lord, how long will this last? You have the same constitution in New York you have in Texas. How can you know when they know that our brothers and sisters are being lynched and burned and hanged in the Southern States and many of the Western States? When they know that the Ku Klux Klan is in every part of these United States and that their ends are against our people, they know that we are not these small offices when they can join the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and give us their talent and their influence; when they can help us to redeem Africa and when they can aspire to the highest office in the gift of a black nation? They would rather accept the cleaning of a unpopular government than iq be the President of Africa. We can bring about these things that are called idle dreams by our enemies; we are coming closer and closer every day to the realization of our dreams. And will these politicians, these professional men of our race, wait for conditions and circumstances to drive them into our ranks rather than to come voluntarily in and say, "Here I am, please." And we can service I can render for the redemption of Africa and the amelioration of the troubles of my race." HON.' J. W. EASON SPEAKS His Excellency Hon J W H. Eason, American leader, said: "May it please your Excellency the Provisional President of Africa, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Your Excellency the West African President, the President of the Executive Council, officers and Members of the New York Local, Ladies and Gentlemen. There is an adage which says, 'Coming events cast their shadows before them.' Thinking upon that well-known adage last night, and today I decided that if the opportunity prevailed itself tonight I would speak upon the subject, 'The Shadow of Coming Events.' We realize the fact my friends, that individuals upon this mundane sphere have at times something that is known as premonition. It is an insight which they have telling them of something that is going to take place. For example, when we are in a room where a mother 1,000 miles from the dwelling-place of her child would feel at a particular hour that something terrible was happening to her child, and when sufficient time passed for her to get the news she would find that at that particular time her child was in serious trouble or was passing to a prisoner. The children where father had a promotion that their children were receiving the plaudits of the crowd and honor from their fellow-boys, and when sufficient time time and passed they too would receive the good news... at the same moment they were thinking of the crowded room crowned with glory and honor upon earth. And so with men and individuals, so nations have had premonitions or insight into what is going to take place in the very near future. The nations of the world, after having observed their shortcoming and after having felt that they had acted unintentionally, have a new beginning to see the reason of what they call the great yellow and mighty black peril. The Yellow and Black Peril They may term it anything they want to term it, but it is simply the shadow of coming events' being cast before the actual occurrence. And, of course, there are ways to change a shadow. For example, if you are standing in front of a shadow in cost that way, if you get in another direction your shadow will not be in that direction that it was before. The same thing is true with nations and individuals. If you don't want enough to change your way, you beating your destiny will not be the same as you were doing, whether it be a bad or a good way. The same thing is true of nations. If they can change their attributes from malice and envy and misunderstanding and rage, and follow with and charity and to the things that are true and good, instead of nations going down to shame and degradation and being wiped off the map completely, as the ages go and come, that nation will rise higher and higher in the scale of civilization and take its place in the sun. And so the nations of the world do not need to be alarmed unless they will willing to change their modus operandi. But when we realize that coming events are casting their shadows before them; when we see how the scholars of today are observing the coming of events, let us notice, for example, what has been said and published by a great Caucasian writer recently. He said as follows: We are thinking little of this today. Perhaps too many of us are thinking too little and that little thinking, perhaps, pertaining almost entirely to things of today." But if we take time for a moment and turn to the political and racial maps of the world, we shall see the political division to be nine-tenths white, while the remaining one-tenth white. And the remaining one-tenth of the political power of the world is held by the two-third racial division, which is composed of the yellow, brown and red men designated as the Colored World. Here, then, is our White World today: Europe, the Siberian part of Asia and Australasia, North America to the Rio Grande and the southern part of South America. And here is our Colored World today. Practically the two-thirds of the white area and the larger portion of South America and Central America. Of land areas the whites occupy $2,000,000 square miles and the colored races $1,000,000 square miles. In this connection, we must also fact that one-third of the area held by the whites is sparsely inhabited. Now, when we turn to populations, the inequality of the numerical strength of the two racial divisions is apparent. The total population of the African-American is 1,700,000,000. Of this population, 580,000,000 are white and 1,150,000,000 are colored. Here is the reason why the Anglo-Latino-Slav League seeks to form a combination of the peoples of the great white race. That is the statement coming from the pen of the president of a league of the Anglo-Latino-Slav League for the perspective of the supremacy of the white race. He may be able to perpetuate that supremacy if he wore to build upon the principles of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. But he has built upon the assumption that the white race is inaliency superior to all black races and that they are white. He league and all his principles are bound to fall and go down to defeat because, according to his own European 1,700,000,000 black folks could swallow up 550,000,000 white in a night if they wanted to. Negro Race Antagonist to No One We are not antagonistic to any people or group of people, but any individual, any race or any national build upon anything else but the eternal nature that the individual, the race that the individual is doomed to discover sooner or later. **WILL THE Negro Play His Part?** The question today is, when these great things take place—and they are going to—will the Negro be there to play his part? In all the times past when great things happened Old Negro was there; he had been there by providential arrangement or simply by accident. I mean that for 500 years in the wars of America, England and foreign countries the Negro was a victim of his own providence. He was there by accident, but he did not get anything out of it for him, self by being there, unless it was exertion. thing of our trials, something of our troubles, something of our triumphs, tell us he can make life, and tell us they come on by one from the sleep of the age and shackle the hard ground, their brains and rising; in their form and inspiring the black foliage of America, band yourselves together in a band of solid brotherhood; ye Maregros, of Africa, cause your turnoff and your fighting against each other, ye Maregros of the island, hear the call of your chieftain; we over all our ever, make all nations upon the earth, realize that you are to play your part upon this mundane sphere, in helping to bring these events to a happy commutation. And I hear the songs of America—those who faced cannons in France and Flanders—the young, young, young Africa and the young, young corners of the globe—rise up and easy; Hoye-headed Afters who died, in agen past, and of the illustrious present, we will not fall you; we will not permit you to have died, and suffered and strugged in vain; we are rising in the banner of the Red, the Red, and the Green to help these events to be settled correctly. (Great applause.) President General to Speak Each Evening. This Week At the conclusion of Dr. Eason's address the President General arrows, and said he had some announcements to make, also an important duty to perform. Beginning tomorrow night (Monday), he said, a series of meetings will extend over a period of two weeks known as an organization revival, for the purpose of expounding more fully than before the principles, aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with a view of inducing people to join who are now among the 120,000 colored people in Harlem, and it is hoped that, as the result of this series of meetings to add materiality to the present membership. During the coming week Mr. Garvey, on each evening, will speak on subjects dealing with the future possibilities. Monday night the subject will be, "Can the Negro Found and be a Nation?" Tuesday night, "Will the Negro Become an Industrial Power?" Wednesday night, "Bolotoy Among Negroes?" Thursday night, "Is the Negro's Future in America?" Friday night, "The Negro Live to Become a Power by Himself, or Die Out Among the Other Races and Nations?" New Field Executive Secretaries Being Sent Out Starting tomorrow, new field executive secretaries, selected from the successful persons who took the U. N. J. A. Service Examinations, will be sent to the various divisions, announced to the various divisions of the association, to such places as Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit, Raleigh, North Carolina, Wilmington, Del. Baltimore, Field workers are available to plan and to send the present year at least 1,000 of these, taken from the lists of those who have passed the Civil Service tests, so that, in all, there will be a total in the field of 3,000 men, and the executive work for the association. They will be distributed all over the world. A Commissionor In Every State of the Union "We intend also," the President General said, "to have one commissione in every State of the Union, so that when our next convention meets we will have 1,800 commissioners scattered in all going to make a second step in 1993, because we are preparing for the next sittings of the Supreme Council of the League of Nations, at which time we shall make our demands for a portion of Africa." The next convention, he so far said, will send from Liberty Hall to the United Nations delegation that will demand from the Nations the Negro's portion of Africa, and we will have the world so organized that there will be no come-bank without it. We are going to raise it, because we are going to raise a universal howl and cry until we do get it. We are going to 1923 come around. August 11, we are going to raise no pages in human history, and I promise that if God gives me the breath of life for the next twelve months we will uncompromise things, ever though there may be Mr. Garvey then announced the re-opening of the jaundry of the Negro Factories Corporation, which he said had been closed for the past two weeks because of certain irregularities in its management. It was now reorganized this week under new management, and he has each and every employee to discharge his or her duty faithfully and congenis- tiously. THE VOICE OF A NEW NEGRO ON OBSERVATION Consider the lives of the great men of this or any other age, and it will invariably be found that their greatness arises from their possession of the faculty of "observation"—which led them to conceive sympeting great invention, and to some simple circumstance—which had impressed itself on their minds whilst other men would have left it unmotivated. Sir Isaac Newton saw his apple fall to the ground as multitudes pressed itself on his mind and thus evolved the law of gravitation with its consensual influence over the world of matter. Waft made his first successful steam engine through watch- fay the same name, from a little measure of the greatest importance in the party, whose surgeon was discovered by a lay fourteen years ago, who wanted to pull a string to activate a wrist, and found the work was then as good as the second, and soon accompanied it, so that he had last free to go out and play marbles. These and other examples, which might be in infinitary mathematics are illustrations of that observation, which usually, if the intention was to practice, would be Ahmed.

Today Ireamed alone Out in the Black Bell, for some volco Called me into its zone. And there I met the soul that called, All doubled in distress. God bado me lead her to her home And whispered he would bless. O what a husband, darth and tremble! O what a saintly heart. Cast there where underworld appals By Sitan's hickest art. O there are many million stars, And each one has a place. And yet the slave goes wandering on And none will help his rule. O give us liberty or death! O hasten to set free! For agony is every breath! O help us o'er the sea! The slave and I are riding high On poverty's wild wave. Above us is a stormy sky; Beneath us is the grave. I storm the walks of wealth and ease While my black brother pines. No let me perish with the slave Or wait till his star shines. Wherever my drifting bark may blow Mine eyes shall search the waves To regroup Afrio sons who stare In pounding awful graves. O behearten: brothers on the shore— Look out upon all the sea And send a life boat to our aid To save the slave and me. O we implore you—we will drown— Oppression's storm we share.

Then I searched the holy scripture With my every beating pulse. Just to find some tales as written And to solve the mysteries hidden— About Africa. But also, my task was great Not so great for reading's sake. It was great, for this I found, Naught but inspiration counts— To Study Africa. It's a problem far and wide Solid as the mountains stand; Majestic in the regions lone But to weigh at God's command— Things About Africa. Many pharaohs fierce and bold, Happy in that land of old Famed for learning and of deeds Failed to know but very little— Of Noble Africa. Oh, so sacred is that land Full of mysteries and light. Prophets and priests, God's praise Old sing. Vain a world the secrets crave Secrets for which the fathers longed; None but Almighty or Angelo band May lift the curtain and see afar Great Things in Africa. Blessed are those dwellers then Those for whom that land was made May the inspiration given How to love the God of beaven— And to Love Africa. And to us thy children scattered May we so soon be linked together Earnestly for our leaders pray For we hope to reach some day— Our Home in Africa. A. S. BURTON. 37 Princess Court.

With you I've roamed in Paradise O God help me to stay Fast in Thy word that life may be One grand eternal day. With you I've looked across the sea; Behold the Southern Queen Where floats the flag of Africa— The Red, the Black and Green. The Stars and Stripes waved over us long— Dark was the path and lone. The flag your sies protected well Lit up the white man's zone. To save the lives of those you loved, You bade them rise and flee. It paired my heart your noble race should be a refuge. My soul is free from every stain Of prejudice and gulls. Thy burden was the heaviest. But brightest was the y smile. Ah! never shall my soul forget Those sacred, happy days When freedom thrilled our hearts and God Showed us his loving, ways. Ah! there was little time for talk— All work and little play. You early rose and late relied— Some nights you turned to day. To win God's precious golden prize: A home across the sea. Where those you love might happy live And walk as men ext fire.

The little streams and laughing rills Sing praises everywhere. The stately mountains and the hills, Bedecked with flowers so rare. Pointing their grateful forms on high All whisper God is here.

TUFFER. Albury, August 2, 1851. To the President, The White House, Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Harding: In my last letter I tried to make it plain to you that you misused policy in regard to Negro appointments to Federal offices within your gift is subversive of the right of the Negro citizen to hold office within the State where he is or may become a citizen, and that your action in barring him from exercising and enjoying this right, which is freely permitted to citizens of other racial variation is an injustice. It is hardly possible that you would subject any other class of the electorate to this indignity, making them a "marked people" fit only to cast their votes when sought and unit for representation in public office in certain agencies of the country, because great Nature made them of a different color. Your declared policy in this respect cannot be interpreted to mean anything else. Something of this is shown in the attitude of your administration toward the aspiration of a Negro Republican who recently sought to become the Collector of Internal Revenue in a Northern city, whom ability and fitness and proved efficiency were established by some of the strongest and best men in the Republic party, and by his own able administration of this office under Roosevelt, who appointed him. The fact that the business of this office had increased to entombine proportions under the Wilson administration and that its operation extended over a wider territory was held to be one of the reasons why it should not be highered than the institution behind that a Negro could not successfully administer such a large and responsible public trust. This is the notion, Mr. President. The facts are, as I personally heard them stated by employees of this office, that the white female employed of the office did not want a Negro as their chief and superior officer, so that the lesbian got together and triangulated a scheme which has thus far worked successfully to block the appointment, and thus the situation has been earned. Theodore Rosewell, whatever may be said of him, would never have yielded to this sort of pressure. He would have stood firmly his ground, as he did in the Crum-case, and appointed this Negro who has won his empire, proved his ability for good work as an executive officer in numerous state offices and as a former Federal official. This, Mr. President, shows the difference between yourself, Ulfgren S. Grant and Theodore Rosewell. The comparison does not seem to be favorable.

R. R. G. able to you. In that you deserve it, tip him, award you, appoint Nervous, North or South to leadership of command and authority in your administration. Before you were elected, Mr. President, we black people judged from your front porch speeches, your interviews with prominent men of our race and your voluntary promises to balance the scales of justice evenly and without prejudice to any race or class, that if you were elected President, as you have been by a most astounding majority, you would at least be fair to that very large element of the electorate—the Negro voters of the country, who imparted your candidacy and gave a good account of themselves at the polls in every state in which they were permitted to cast a vote. Now, Mr. President, there are rumblings heard among this large group all over the country of dissatisfaction and disappointment. The people are saying that you do not ring true and that we Negroes may not expect from your administration any greater modesty of fairness in the matter of patronage than has been accorded us by another administration recently retired, and distinguished for the lack of interest in the welfare and well-being of Negro citizens. The facts cannot be disguised, Mr. President, that you have drawn the color line; that you have attempted to make that unequal which the Constitution declares to be equal, visit the citizenship of all persons recognized by the fundamental law as citizens of this great Republic. We are unable to understand how a President of the United States can by his marriage deny duty prizes any citizen of his constitutional rights except for crime. If it was a crime for Negroes to vote for you to be President, then as Kudda and Hirshim would say, "That is another duty, not a duty that will only be permitted for the information about you."

AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND" Started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Liberation of Africa—All Negroes Asked to Subscribe, Five Dollars or More The Universal Negro Improvement Association, charged with the responsibility of freeing the four hundred million oppressed Negroes of the world and with the redemption of Africa, is now raising a universal fund to capitalize its work for the freedom of Africa. The Second Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world legislated that a capitalization fund for the propagation of the work be raised from among all Negroes under the caption of "The African Redemption Fund", that each member of the Negro race be asked to donate five dollars ($5.00) or more to the fund for the cause of world-wide race adjustment, and the freedom of Africa. Each and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race loyalty given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Provisional President of Africa, the Secretary General and High Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Convention Fund We help notify you that an account of the limited amount of space we have published the name of those who authorized $1 or more. Less than $1 is under the head of Miscellaneous List. If you are a race patriot, if you are desirous of seeing your race liberated, if you are desirous of seeing Africa free from oppression, if you are desirous of building up a great Negro race, you will send in your five dollars or more immediately to the "African Redemption Fund." Send postal money order, money mail order, check or American currency in registered cover, made out to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All remittances must be made out to the association, and not to individuals. Address your communication to Secretary General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th street, New York City, N. Y. U. S. A. All donations to this fund will be acknowledged in The Negro World, week by week, and a book of donors will be printed and circulated all over the world as a record for succeeding generations of Negroes to see and know those who contributed to the liberation of the race and the freedom of Africa. Send in your five dollars or more now. All persons donating $25 or more to this fund, in addition to being granted a certificate will have his or her photograph published in The Negro World and in the Universal Volume to be published for distribution all over the world.

It is similar in operation to that of an automobile starter, being worked by the foot pedal. The starter mechanism is illustrated with the propeller hub. When the foot pedal is pressed the starter turns the propeller, which in turn starts the motor. GET THIN Stop worrying about your overestimates.

Adama, of No. 79 Wall street, was appointed receiver in equity yesterday for the Green Star Steamship Corporation, which operates thirteen vessels obtained from the United States Shipping Board. He is a member of a committee of bondholders. The appointment was made by Federal Judge Mayer with the company's consent. In the complaint, filed by A. H. Whan & Co. to protect $4,900 claim, the former than the Green Star Line, still owns $6,079,210 on the contract price of the Shipping Board tonnage and as defaulted in payment of other obligations. In addition to the amount due to the board, on an original total of $7,850,00 it was asserted that the company owes $2,200,000. Following the appointment of the receiver in equity, a statement was issued in behalf of the committee of bondholders, which on August 28 issued a bond and ordered the purchase price of the vessels sold to the Green Star Corporation. More than $2,600,000 has been paid by the Green Star Corporation to the board of which more than $1,000,000 has been credited against the purchase price of the vessels involved, said the committee statement $15,000,000 in Board Claims against the Green Star Line WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.—Unofficial estimates tonight placed claims of the United States Shipping Board against the Green Star Steamship Corporation at approximately $15,000,000.

Recent efforts of the company to obtain financial aid from the bank have been made. Martin V Gillen, special assistant to John B.

The art of playwriting is not so common among us Negro Americans that we can afford to overlook any serious attempt in that line and we gladly embrace this opportunity because we know absolutely nothing of Miss Grinke. Such ignorance makes for impartially even if it doesn't attain justice Miss Grimke a craftsmanship suggests that she is a young writer, the theme of her play indicates that she is a grave and serious one who looks at this world of color problems with somewhat unusual eyes. For she works out for us with a rigid economy of means a tragedy in the conflict of character within one human breast of a nort which we do not remember to have come across before. Because her Rachel is a Negro girl, sweet, sincere and high-minded, who loves children—especially colored children—with a heart as big as all outdoors, with an overmastering passion for motherhood and all that it implies; who nevertheless, refuses to marry the man whom she loves because she would not bring into the world Negro children foredoomed by fate to run the gauntlet of American race prejudice. Grant that a problem as high as prejudice and perhaps fanciful it yet achieved as a by-product a result which we men have never been able to achieve as a direct hit: it is the deadliest indictment of American race prejudice that could be framed—and it took the fertile genius of a woman to frame it. Of course, that makes "Rachel" a question put to literature rather than a question put to life. Which is to say that the values of the play are ideal rather than real. It deals with the theory of life rather than with the practice of life, like the Chinese gentleman who, when insulted by a neighbor, retaliate by committing suicide upon that neighbor's doorstep. We hope that Miss Grimke will see the point, and that the neighbor can at any time blot you out as a problem of his existence if you are given to this Oriental form of reaction. It is a pretty problem and concludes up a tragedy whose possibilities go beyond the thought and intent of Miss Grimke's play. But we must drop from philosophy to fact. But Miss Grimke's "Rachel" is a splendid promise not a great achievement. All through it we catch glimpses of tremendous powers strangling to get themselves expressed; glorious hints and dumb indications of genius to which the author's literary development may yet give full and articulate expression. Of the thirteenth characters three are clearly embodied: Rachel, her mother and Mrs Lana. The rest are but lay figures. But the drawing of these three is something of an accomplishment in itself. The dialogue is for the most part defensive; it fails to fix the personal limitations of the characters. But it is not so imperfect as to deny us a glimpse of their soul. And, after all, that is the main thing. The author's control of the mechanics of stagecraft is not yet up PROSPECTUS or to standard, as is shown in the "sprawling" of the first act. But she works up to a wonderful if inexclusive climax in the third act—and there she stops abruptly. As was said before, the play is a product of immature powers. Whether that immaturity is of years or of culture one can't be quite sure. But if it be of years there is a future ahead of Miss Grimke. Let her but learn that a play is life, a pencil in this respect. It will glint it to too fine a point it fails to make to mark strong and clear enough to impress a carol reader. Let her devote herself little more to the concrete study of characterization and learn to limit and differentiate her characters by the form as well as the substance of their language and she will yet achieve not only a fine play—as "Rachel" is—but a great play.

HUBERT HARRISON --- CIVILIZATION'S UNREALIZED DEBT TO AFRICA By PERCY BRYAN That civilization owes Africa for benefits conferred by her is not commonly realized. We hear of the "white man's boyfriend" in "printinglies" the man who about the burden borne by the blast of recent article James Daster Tayler. African missionary, points out that when the Boer war was going on the attention of the world was riveted up, it, but that during the Great War a man many times greater than the Boer war was involved. The German lost possessions five times, extent of her entire European domain and having an estimated population of 12,000,000. Moreover, the war in Africa was by no means a war of white man and black man, nor were the Africans unreserveded to the battlefields of Europe. The Great World's War in Africa France is said to have drawn half a million troops from her African possessions, with many thousands of laborers. British native troops from both West and East Africa participated in the East African campaign. The Belgian in German East Africa was composed almost entirely of native under white officers. Portuguese native troops took part in the same campaign. One hundred and sixty-seven thousand native transport carriers were used by the British in that campaign. They were from South Africa, from South Africa 93,000 native went forth to various campaigns and 20,000 of that number went to France as a native labor contingent. It is estimated that over 100,000 African were in actual military service, and with the conflict came to an end. The French were burning of villages, faming and death. We have seen how extensive the African services were in the war. If peace they are many times more extensive. The Unrealized Debt to Africa in Peace All of the cocos grown in Africa requires his cultivation. Mr. K. H. Harris estimates that in gathering the fruit of the oil palm from which much of the "pure olive oil" of commerce, as well as margarine, and high explosives, are produced, are 900,000,000 and a distance of 1,000,000 miles away. The diamond of Kunjurley, the gold of the Rand, are mined by Negro hands. the Cape-to-Cairo Railroad and hundreds of miles more are built by them. What is more, the entire development of the vast tropical and subtropical islands which lap the coast of the world depends upon African labor alone. The white race cannot survive there much less carry on vigorous labor. Nor is the contribution which the African is to make to the world a material one. The Silk Safety Officer generally Governor of Jamaica, in answering the question why the people of Jamaica refuse to the welfare of African people refuse to be separated from them write. "It is that those who have to do disinterested with the negroed races come to love them find them above the average rich and expensive and sympathetic and delicate qualities of essential buffin nature. The Negro is, of course, very far behind many other peoples in wide fields of human florecence, but in some of the qualities the average far ahead of the average industrialized European. He is singularly patient and forgiving, very delicately sensitive in all matters of courtesy, acutely logical, warmly sociable, humorous, blindly selfish, and difficult to a most devoted, brave and unuproarred comrade. Moreover, he is V demily and 'fourthinfinite', *batholism* and his religious and amicable fellow-periment responses especially to the Christian formism. It is the Christian opinion of the worth and it alms that will in the last analysis bridge the will of man with the will of God, therefore, or even land must begin by attacking the trace, prejudices by their own land. Whenever they, acquiesce in or approve discriminations based upon conditions for which the persons discriminated against are not respirable, as race or color, them they be disposed of. The reason they are at war, with missionary energies overseas, Justice as well as charity begins at home. What are we going to do about it? Thall we fail to bring to realisation a free and redeemed Afrika? When King Solomon built the temple of Jebah in Jerusalem he made it beautiful by overlaying its walls and timbers with fine gold brought out of Africa. Then we must help pay the debt. EVENING CLASSES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY PAVE THE WAY FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF A COLLEGIATE SUMMER SCHOOL WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 3.—Howard University, in keeping with its new program of rendering the greatest possible service as a national university for the training of colored youth, last quarter, January 4, 1981, inaugurated a system of evening classes with Prof. William J. Bauditt as director. These evening classes are of full college grade and yield the usual credits toward the various academic degrees conferred by the university. Howard University instructors and exact the same requirements and maintain the same standards as the day classes. To the ambitious self-supporting student who is unable to attend classes during the day, the Howard University now offers a college education through evening instruction. There are some people who look acknowance at evening academic work, but whatever prejudice it has seems due up to the present against it. There is a need to castate consciousness of the insecure loose standards of the evening schools. With the general spread of democratic ideas and the application of the same requirements and standards to both day and evening work, this prejudice is giving out and the evening school is coming into our own as a powerful institution. The school is a well-known scheme. Many of our greatest colleges and universities now offer evening work with full credit toward the usual degree. Among these institutions are the University of Chicago, the Carnegie Institute of Technology the College of Engineering John Hopkins University, the University of Pittsburgh and Harvard University. The U. S. Bureau of Education is now engaged in making a survey of the present status of evening instruction, the immediate supervision in the classroom, and the leadership of Frederick B. R. Hopkins in the deans of the College of the City of New York. According to former U. S. Commissioner Clarton, "one of the great services which can be rendered the nation through education will be the establishment of a thoroughly co-ordinated system of education for a person who drops his education by day to continue that education at night." The work of the evening classes at Howard University has thus far been quite satisfactory and successfull. Courses have been taken by school teachers, school prifolia, government employees, lawyers, college graduates and others. Some of the students are pursuing the regular four-year course leading to the baccalaureate degree. others are merely becoming acquainted with some particular subject or keeping in touch with the academic life for purposes of general culture; while still others are obtaining a special preparation which they must have in order to position. The work has been regular and thorough, the standards high, and the students and instructors enthusiastic. Evening classes at Howard University undoubtedly mark a clear and distinct extension of the usefulness and influence of the university. It is very likely that this movement will soon be followed by other with similar potentialities for good, for the establishment of a summer school at Howard University, for collegiate instruction now seems practically assured for next year. HOWARD PREPARES FOR FIRST GAME OF 51 FIRST MEMBER OF SEASON WASHINGTON, D. C. Col., S.-Th. Howard football squad has had its first week of trousers. The rigorous training which the team underwent the first week has driven off all undesirables and has left squad which gives coach information on what he may expect for the year. At present the coach is non-committed as to what he thinks of the prospect. The big problem seems to be the rephoning of the men lost by graduation. While most of the remaining 18 man of last year have returned, still the absence of Carter, last year's star plete, who expended to youth in Huron, Huron and Ontario, still reams. Ryan, who finished closely to Carter as quarterback - last year, has just showed up for practice. Prince will take an earnest angle the coming week in preparation for the first game of the season in October 8 at Lansing, Michigan, against Virginia Theological Seminary and College. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT The following continuation of Mr. Marryshaw, who is now in London seeking full measure of representative government for Grenada, is reprinted from the Canadian Gazette. This article impetus toward similar action being brought toward order that the outcome will not only be favorable but our sisters colonies, all of whom are loud in their protest against Grown rule, but also by British Honduras as well: Mr. T. Albert Marryshaw, editor of the West Indian and secretary of the Government Association, represents much work in recruiting during the war against statically British in his views, has as recently recorded in the Canadian Gazette, arrived in London in connection with the concession given to Grenada in answer to a petition for representative government. To a representative of the Canadian Gazette who met him likewise took联名 of the British West Indies generally and of Grenada in particular. A Triumph of Colonization After remarking that the people of the West Indies relied on the knowledge that the Caribbean sea was the cradle of the British empire and that these colonies were destined perhaps to play an even greater part than they had done in the past in affecting the Caribbean coast, the show went on to say: 'British colonisation, as it affects the black and white race, has triumphed in the West Indies in a manner which is worthy of being heralded in many parts of the globe where solutions of racial problems are being sought. Under the British rule, the white slaves and black slaves in the common shine of happiness and peace. It is not that we have solved the color problem in the West Indies, for there never has been one with us. Socially and in the eyes of the law, ever since the emancipation of slaves, color has been abolished. The enslavement as have been held out under the angels of British control. In Grenada, for instance, colored men occupy some of the highest official positions in the colony. For generations all sections of the people, regardless of color, class or creed, have united in promoting the cause of the abolition of the king with such patient loyalty as should earn for them greater privileges with a more progressive government than the crown colony Britain. British importance of the West Indies TI may say no, I have been greatly impressed since I have been in London and, in spite of my age, the lamentable ignorance of people here regarding our life and conduct in the West Indies We are an English-speaking English-thinking and English-living people, and our loyalty and attachment to the British empire and the West Indies are a credit to the British empire and very little is needed to lift these colonies to their true position in the great British commonwealth. There has been talk of calling the West Indies to the United States as the "British colony" where were very much alarmed on hearing of the absurd proposal, but all fears were dispelled when the Prince of Wales, during his visit to Barbados, made the memorable statement: "British subjects would not rebel against the British blunty, it would be nothing short of cruelty for the British to sell the West Indies with a British-inspired population. By long years of training, made English in mind and outlook, these people could not rebel the British blunty and the white race. The offer of our surprise from the West Indies on the alar of British duty was no frivolous thing. It was of the heart, and was a token of faith in the future of the empire and part. It was sweet-smelling income of gratitude for the safe guardianship extended over us in the past. there is no constitution of policy, and thought understated that the king is dead, long live the king is foreign to Crown Colony government, because, in general, the rethought of the reins of administration by each Governor means the death of his particular policies, which puts the Colony to considerable apprehension through the half-mature and glimpses understatedings. We want some constitution under which there will be a legislature capable of pliding itself to the carrying out of approved policies regardless of the arrivals or departures of Govonera. There is not wanted in the people of the Colony any central control of penditure of public funds. I have seen the unofficial element of the Legislative Council unanimous for, as well as against, certain expenditures, but little or no respect is paid to their cases. Although they are most belonging to the Colony, with the advantage of long years of study and experience, they are not the power of the Governor's casting vote. And there is no right of fair appeal to the Colonial Office. "We feel that in such cases both sides of the question should be submitted to the Colonial Office for review, and that the arguments of each side should be known to the other because the views taken in the Governor's dispatch to the Secretary of State should be known to the other side, and vice versa. Perhaps what is necessary to obviate most of the disagreements on financial questions in the provision of a liberal Finance Committee, to give them a point in their argument, is this: If the people are to play their part in domestic matters, such as the promotion of the health of the Colony, sanitation and schemes for social welfare, then by some means or other their wishes should be more or less according to us the privileges of electing four members by popular vote to a Legislative Council of fourteen will leave us in much the same old position, unless it is in the mind of the Colonial Office also to provide that the wishes of the people through their own efforts should be taken in the absence of such a popular safeguard the people of Grenada should not be expected to gather grapes of thistle; and it should be no surprise to the Colonial Office, and then giving away to disaffected members the privileges of such a popular safeguard the Colony—the most powerfully supported prayer that has ever been sent from the West Indies to the King—saking for bread, they have been offered a stone. The 'West Tiddish' Neid's 'bo Batt- ter Better Known "As one wish to in touch with the trend of public opinion in the West India I feel that the constitutional Indian Indian need expert study, by the British Government in the light of present-day progress. It is very easy to say that public opinion in the West India does not express itself in the form of a nationalistic forms of government in force, but when it is known that the existing forms of government render the people inculcate by giving them no real opportunity to express them in a more direct and another question comes up for review. "In many respects the West Indies need greater attention from the Mother Country. There should also be a german a taking of the English language, the liberal and communal communication, aviation, cables, etc. should be taken up in real correct by the Mother Country and the West Indian Colonies. The West Indies are in need of British education and training. The Indian India is in its industry and applied development. As, tourist resort, the beautiful island of the Caribbean-" *Emilies of God* "offer sunshine and bain unmatched by other - favored countries.* but we say "See the West Indies, and live." *The Belles (British Honduras)* Independent. AN INDEPENDENT NATIONAL LIFE FOR THE NEGRO On the 53 day of August, 1821, speaking to his colleagues in the House of Parliament, Winston Churchill, a senator, said: "Winston formed a poke white, when the present period of exhaustion is ever as it will be in a few years, will lead to a period of prosperity. Only in this way, at the time of his death, will we be able to withstand, in hand with the United States, a supplant of protection, but as an equal partner, in the future on the world." Prior to the advent of Garrysburg or to the formation of the office of a Provisional President BP, Africa, and a quoted above would hardly have been trained more than passing significance, but thanks to Garrysburg, the visit has been turn away from our system, functioning as a provisional citizen of Africa, world wide. In their relationship to the Nero have taken on a new form of the slight of Kafka, the form of the intense intentions of Cancun governments powerful enough in might to embrace their desire to confess to having powerful Meord, Nireord, and dead people. If we approach the statement from the proper perspective that the economy and commercial powers of power are the true powers of the world, If we go into study of the activities of the government which, Winston Churchill represents we arrive, at a point which brings into view the nature of the policy pursued by his government and the nature of the darker problems it controls. Accepting as fact that no nation or government is greater or stronger than the per capita wealth of its citizens or nationals, we can readily see, through a comparison between the United States and Australia and Canadian life and a black West Indian, Egyptian or Indian life, that a suspicious, blood-sucking policy operates with respect to the peoples of darker hun, while a decided, inefficient policy operates with respect to the known as "white". In other words, the tighter the economic life put upon the darker peoples the more ease and comfort of "white" life. The "property" to which Churchill refers must be granted a application of this repressive nature upon the backs of the darker subjects. But, always from the viewpoint of a provisional citizen of Africa, let us consider briefly the trend of colonialism and government. to which Churchill's and his government retained with us the fact that the commercial and political interests of governments are inseparable. Haytian is nearer to our immediate vision. Last year upward of .000,000 began.pt.office was bought by the United States from Churchill, and the luxurious state upon the Haytian slopes. Under the protest of civilizing savages the European nations found a highly lucrative proposition to take rather than to buy, and judging from the record of the marines, in Haytian, the government gave its life-blood from commerce, we cannot be very firm wrong-perhaps we may be right in assuming that the United States has borrowed a leaf from the European book and now believes it a highly lucrative proposition of "stimulating got the Mexican finances," rather than "bigly surely if it can be said that the policy of the United States with respect to Mexican schools of "oil" it can equally well be said that the policy with respect to Haytian, more effective on an economic level, than the policy of the capitalist of the dominant power a purchasing price for a desired commodity can be secured which will, with this thought, be completed the machinery, for application even to the minutest detail. The affairs of the Haytian missions now in the hands of the United States have completed the machinery, but not to prevent its successful use. We should become quite clear on this. When a nation reaches a certain development in industry, all nations having drawn heavily over our own, pay the tandem, supported by the that that dollars, pounds and francs, and collage on the whole are accepted on the main standard of value, to be such fresh sources of amity, in order to sustain these industries, and to maintain the standard of collage, and this will be the nation is subject, to an increasing population. Work must be hard, the population to feed the many countries, and since the industrial, provides the work, raw materials must be acquired. But while it is quite true that we, as nationalists in America, gain a taste of the benefits derived from exploitation enough economical pressures are brought to bear on us to insure, our enjoyment, the full "legibility" of this benefit, the full "legibility" of this benefit, through a gradual inhibition of the teachings and the spirit of Caryatism coupled with the educational efforts of other Negro organizations along political and economic lines, the taste we enjoy as a nationist is becoming bitter and bloody on the strength of the injustices and the cruelties practiced upon "the blood of our blood and the flesh of our flesh" that these benefits to national, as they are, are many possible. The more knowledge on this subject poured into the minds of the darkest of the white, the more independent, national, existence, and the greater will become "the will to resist the encroachments made upon us by the powerful, for it is an established fact in the law of thought dynamics that since the acts of male and female, both husband and wife, means of putting those desires and balances into effect, a multifaceted purpose of education. We will the hospital and bequeath all our children hoping the present earnest men will the hospital and bequeath all our children hoping the present earnest men will the period of education shall last longer. To the thank of the forming supplemented by the varied experience on the children of the present lodged with the compilation designed that the only cure for all our political and scientific life for an independent, national life for the master.

We, as a race, were robbed of our homes and distributed to alien races, but it is declared in Holy Writ that night the end of time, soon or late, all nations shall find their native land. God bless the provincial president, Africa, Marcus Garvey, who has thur- d the new light in the faces of scattered Ethiopia. We are seeking for a free and reunion Africa, and our motto is: God Gives Oddness! And if it comes to redden his sword we will do so, 400,000,000 strong" (Cheers.) The presiding chairman, W. B. Robinson, gave a Biblical address and a great warning that we must be prepared to do our duty when active service calls. The general secretary, I. Bennett, said: 'I greet you on this day of our mass meeting to the name of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. Brothers and sisters and strangers on this calling will you head the movement of the Red, the Black, and Green, for the restoration of our motherland Africa? She is calling us she wants us ode and all. This is no time of thinking of what to do, it is no time ofündling of service. This is no job for one individual, it is a task for 400,000 Negroes to join with our God-save leader, His Excellency, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, and his staff. Along with our overseas brothers, let us float the flag of the Red, the Black, and the Green 'And if all our doings let us not forget to support with might and seal the Liberian Joan and the Black Star Lims. Co-operate, we are not begging. Africa is oura, and this we mean as New, Negroes. Give us Africa's help in our duties.' Mr. A. W. Wells expressed the sympathy of the branch in the illness of the executive president and secretary. The meeting then came to a close by this siding of the department. I. BENNETT. General Secretary. San Manuel, Oriente, Cuba. Sept. 27, 1921. U. N. L A. GAINS CON- VERTS IN SYRACUSE Without doubt the meeting which was held in the Sigurors Liberty Hall yesterday was a one with whom they be remembered by those who were so fortunate as to have been present. It gave a new impetus to the members and officers, and the result is felt in the added interest that is being shown by those connected with the branch. It was exactly when Mr R T Brown, first vice-president, who occupied the chair for the evening owing to the illness of the president, Mr W D. A Dawkins, began proceedings by asking the members and friends gathered in the hall to rise and join in the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain." The ode was heartily sung and was followed by the prayer offered by Mr. Albert Ellis of the Honorary Advisory Board; and then came the singing of that hymn, "O Thou Sweet and Blest Redeemer," which seemed to have had a special appeal to the people in the audience, as they sang with a fervor that could be felt. The Scripture lesson was read from Isaiah 60, by Mr R B P M. Jarrett, second vice-president of the branch. But it was the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem, which followed the reading of the Scripture, that seemed to have made the deepest impression, for as they gave utterance to the words of the hymn those present seemed to have caught the fire of those inspiring words and tears walled up in many eyes. The program was full of patriotism and martial aire, inasmuch as several of them were "Sound the Battlescry," "To My Comrade, See the Signal," "Onward, Christian Soldiers," "Fight the Good Fight," "I See Marcus Garvey as He Starts the Moral Fight" and "Africa, Tis of Thee." The opening remarks of the chairman gripped the attention of the listeners and paved the way for what was to come. The first speaker to be introduced by the chairman was Eric C. Corpwall, who made a stirring appeal to his hearers to be true and faithful to their race, and more than all to link up their forces w with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League Mr. R. S. P. M. Jarrett, second vicepresident, gave a reading from the columns of The Negro World which evoked a great deal of interest. A dialogue by Miss L. Scott and Master G. Gordon came in for a fair share of favorable comment. A short and touching address from Miss E. A. Crawford, secretary of the Ladies Division, was well received and was followed by a recitation by Miss B. Banton, a youthful daughter of the U. N. L. A. cause. This brief address of the evening was delivered by Mr. R. T. Brown, whose tope was, "Can Africa Be Redeemed?" This gunnellman, who is a great favorite with the people wher he goes in the interest of the U. N. L. A. held the ability sponsored by his cohort, logi- tically and convincingly handling of the effect of his utterances could be plausible among those who listened to this powerful Negro seer; and when at the close of his address he called upon those present to be men, good men, strong men, tough, courageous men, and to carry forth the gospel of an awakened and enlightened race of Negroes and an Africa redeemed to all the world, the audience broke into thunderous applause, giving expression to their pent up feelings. In closing his address he said: "Men and women of the Negro race, who look and work for the uplifting of this noble and aspiring race of outcry and for the redemption of our glorious fatherland, having proved to you beyond the shadow of a doubt that Africa can muster, and will be redeemed by the dignified sons of Him. let me urge you now to rise and go forward—forward to conquer, forward to victory, forward to conquer, forward to Africa to glory and to God." The hall re-coached with the sounds of applauses as the speaker closed his address, and many eyes were wet with tears, while others thanked God that the cause of the U. N. L. A. in Squirrels had found a champion worthy of their trust. The collection was taken, the announcements were given, and this inspiring and interesting meeting came to a close with the singing of the prince, the Good Night with Alla Tay Might, and the pronouncing of the bandage. REPORTER. THE U. N. I. A. IN WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. It is to be noticed that the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has pushed its way into the city of Winston-Halpin, N. C., with four heads, turned towards the fourcourts of the city, and 'people are awakening.' It is also to be noticed and recorded that this local double, throng, into almost nine p.m., has such Mimidile tendings to hold it alive, as a noticeable period. On September 18, the curvilinear of the church's tools piece at the beadless rolls decorated A. M. E. Church of which Dr. D. O. Walker is the bishop pastor, with the following program: "From Greenland a Tec. Mountain" written by the chapman. Remarks on the division by Dr. D. W. Henson and Mr. H. O. Holladay. Speech by Dr. D. O. Walker. Music by the band—W. Bay Tan (Fort Beaul). Preservation of the Charter by Dr. D. O. Walker. Interfaith symphony by Mrs. D. N. Mankell. Worship audition. Dr. A. J. Christian, who since the above named data, has been untimely elected president of the division of our city, Dr. Walker, the orator of the day, turned the title of progress when thundered aloud that to order for the Negro to ever be able to get just what is in store for him he must proceed to strike the first blow. The orator, after holding his decisive palm in their hands let them loose with cheer and applause when he thundered out that "Negro wants no social equality, away with him," and to do peace over war and to confusion anywhere in the world, but like all other humans created in the image of God, he seeks his human rights on this earth, which is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. Dr. Walker stated that like all other people the Negro seeks full freedom from oppression and such lyracy as "lazation without representation" which oppression he fought against in the colonial period of our nation's existence, defended the Stars and Stripes in every crisis of its history, proving never it be a traitor. "He cannot, yellled the speaker," always endure the most horrible reward of lynching and being burned alive at the stake. Negroes should make up their minds to seek the goal of freedom and the full rights of man ere we be less than men" God knows, waited the minister, that we are a patient and law-abiding people and seek trouble at no time and at no place. Freedom is what we want. Freedom is what we must have. Anything that's worth having is worth fighting for. The Negro seeks no quarrel; he seeks the rights that are enjoyed by all citizens everywhere, and the Negro is going after them at all hazards." The spirit of co-operation is steadily growing in the city of Winton-Salem, N. C., and we assure you, Mr. Editor, that it is our endeavor to push the propaganda of Garveyism everywhere around us with the firm belief that its influence will spread to the ends of the earth, bringing the Negro together in a maxim, "All for One, and One for All."

GUANTANAMO, CUBA, DIVISION, NO. 16A, FORGING AHEAD On Monday evening, July 18, this division started a literary exercise, through the influence of Richard A. Chaires, common secretary of Board and Chaplain of Legions. The meeting was called to order about 4 o'clock p. m. The president, Mr. Charles A. Thomas, in the chair, the chaplain, Richard Bacahor, opened in the usual style, after singing "From Greenland's Ice Mountain." The president then declared the meeting opened. He made brief remarks, stating the object and purpose to which the meeting was called for. He thinks many interested should take part, as it intends to prove the members generally. After making some strong but well batting remarks, he then read the program for the evening. At this juncture he called upon the first speaker, Richard A. Chaires, who rose amidst a hearty cheering. He takes for his subject, The Negro as a Race. The lecturer tells the past glories of the Negro in a historical manner, calling attention to Egypt, Ethiopia, Abyssinia, Timbuco and Africa proper, modern and ancient. The new ideas in science, scoliology, philosophy, psychology, education and theology tell of the intellectual Negroes nowadays and how Garveyism has caught the Negroes everywhere. The man of the hour, the Right Hon. His Excellency Marcey Garvey, toward whom all eyes have been turning during the past four years, has made a number of anguished Negro geniuses the world ever seen all done well in their day, till what the race will accomplish. Our faith must be strong enough to generate a current of sufficient strength to bring our purpose into manifestation. The lecturer held his hearers spolldound nearly one hour, and rose to the height of eloquence and received hearty cheers. The next speaker introduced was tichaer Bacchaler, local chapain, and the next speaker was a local chapain.

This young only, full of spirit, arose through cheering and delivered his address in a well-presenting style, encouraged his Nebraska to learn, emphasizing the fact that good education gives a graphic and historical reference, and showed, what the Negro will accomplish. If this branch of art is taken seriously, He told how the world is troubling in fear of the new Negro, showed what education has done for Japan and the place she occupies in the commercial and industrial world. This was followed by a song by Miss Alma Sokers, B. C. N. song by Second Lieutenant E. Martin. These two pieces were well rendered and received encore. A speech by Miss Edna Steadman, B. C. N.

Sunday, September 23, an anniversary service was held in the Liberty Hall of this division. There was quite a large gathering and the very lengthy program was immensely enjoyed. Ancient of days oath hold I see Thy hidden mysteries unfold. Oh Africa, the realm of wealth What land may be compared to these Thy diamond field thy mines of gold M. F. A. Goffie, president of this division, opened the meeting with the opening ode, "From Greenland to Ice Mountain," Mr. James H. Buckland, our newly elected chaplain, led in prayer. The president in his opening remarks said that the conditions of the division will be examined and the other will survive. He then asked the audience which portion of humanity they think would survive. Answer: That portion that has the finance and age industrially, economically and politically organised. He then appealed to those in which the voice to organize in the region is the most many daunting obstacles that are about to confront Negroes in the future. He then introduced R. C. Rusail, first vice-president, as chairman for the evening. (Applause.) Mr. Russell on making the chair reminded the audience of the expansiveness of the association, and said that the troubles that are always a hindrance to the progress of the association is found within the ranks of the membership. The program was then opened with a chorus by the choir. "Our Fateful Day is Brig. under the management of Mrs. C. E. Burrows. Mr. E. S.

The Annual Report This division was formed through the instrumentality of Nadaa Riad Way and Lamoth, the former a field worker, and the latter an agent for the Black Star Line. On September 12, 1930, the abnormally gentlemen involved this wonderful movement to the city of Morón Camaguy. Cuba. The people immediately coined with the movement and eagerly joined. Another meeting was held shortly afterwards for the purpose of electing officers. This was done, and a rally was announced in aid of it, or for the purpose of buying shares in the Black Star Line. This was a perfect success. $482.32 being raised. Of course, there were many in fact the majority, did not understand the real objects of the association, and up to now it goes with many as the Black Star Line. The following month the monitorium came on, but the organization grew. In the latter part of the month the rain came on, and owing to the munday condition of the town, our meetings were impeded. We have been privileged to welcome several distinguished guests of the High Executive Council, including the Honorable Chaps-in-General G. E. McGuire and staff Lady Vinton Davie and staff and the Honorable Provisional President of Africa, Marcus Gavely, and staff. The latter did not notice that the secretary had come and carried him owing to some revertable misunderstanding, and this brought a great setback. But all praise is due to Kha C. B. Burrowes, whose untiring energy, coupled with a few officers and real Garvettes, have built up the union that has been greatly strengthened by the election of officers who played in this year, when the following were re-elected: Mr F. R. A. Ogilvie, president; Mr. R. C Russell, first vice-president; Mr. D. H. Campbell, second vice-president; Mr. E. S. Scarlet, third vice-president; Mr. J. Bancroft, secretary; Mr. Robert H. Munroe, treasurer; Mrs. C. E. Browne, lady president; Mrs. L. E. Browne, lady president; Mrs. Robinson, second vice-president; Mrs. J. E. Douglas, third vice-president and Mrs. Florence Williams, assistant secretary. Advisor; Board—Mr. R. C. Russell, chairman. Mr E. S. Scarlet, secretary, and 23 members. The division started again and I going strong. In July, owing to its health, Mr. Duff (secretary) had to be away, and owing to an indefinite return, his office was declared vacant and Mr. Joseph A. Food was nominated and elected secretary. Up to that time the membership was approximately 200.33 of which were financial, and up to the time of writing, with the indistaffable efforts of Mr. R. C. Russell, the branch stands 101, of which 75 are financial. This shows that despite the trying times that are confronting us everywhere, we mean to go forward. THE U. N. L. A. IN INGEMIO, RIO CANTO, ORIENTE DE CUBA A special meeting was held in Government School room on September 15 for the purpose of re-raising new officers for this branch: the president, Mrs Sydney Ford, preaching. The meeting was opened with the singing of the U. N. I. A. ode: "From Greenland's Key Mountains," followed with prayer. The chairman outlined the cause of the meeting and then proceeded with the election. The following officers were elected: Mr Henry Hamamay, president; Mr Wilfred Samuels, vice-president; Mr Normon Burian, executive secretary; Mr. Cyril H. Hepburn, associate secretary; Mr. Guedel Schahn, treasurer; Mr. Sydney Ford, chaplain; Miss Frances Groden, lady president. All these newly elected officers give their votes of thinking which received a heavy welcome. The president, Mr Henry Ransom, drew, with indifference, tearing all the alliances placed with him to hard him make this branch a marked success for the nominating year. He also aimed the officers to look out for hard work, not to be afraid as there is much hard work to perform. The Dixitology, was a study followed with skilful, which brook, a great, admirable event to be celebrated. THE U.N. L.A. & A.C.L. FLOURISHING - IN ST.

In the early hours of the morning the hall was tastily decorated with flags and banners especially representing Negro monarchs of early days, and each one bearing an inscribed motto tending to its celebrated origin. At half past two o'clock, all mast at the hall for service, where a very thrilling and heartening lesson was preached by the Rev. E. Brown, taken from the book of Genesis—speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward—which was lainted capt attention, and for this it enhanced a spirit of solemnity to a well given service.

During the singing of the Star Spangled Banner and Ethnic Three Chants in honor of His Excellency was given. The procession then left and headed for the field where a regular open door meeting was scheduled, but owing to several little downsails that part of the program had to be curtailed. Although the day was not a regular holiday, the line of march was crowded with spectators who declared that St. Thomas had never witnessed such pride since Negro kings of old times. The crowd followed the tail the president gave in appropriate address, the National Anthem was sung, praver said, and the day was brought to a close. The St. Thomas Labor Union gave an order that should any of its members take part in the Easter Day parade of the U. N. L. A. such members would be expelled from the union. The balance is in silence.

We of this town have organized a branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and are in the games to help free Africa, and we will go to uphold the Black, the Red and the Green flag of liberty, for we realize that it is only through organization that we can accomplish anything. We held a meeting on the third of this month and enrolled saventian members and started the col- lation officers J. T. Finley, president; Adam, White, vice-president; Thomas Bailey, secretary; J. C. Coleman, treasurer, and M. S. X. Coleman, assistant secretary. The outlook is very good for our cause in this part and we expect to keep the ball rolling. Yours for the benefit of the Order. C. S.

National Army, Sunday, Sept. 28, 1821. A very impressive military funeral was given to the remains of Charles Harvey, who was killed in action in Vicksburg, Sept. 25, 1821, after eleven months in the U. S. National Army. The Kaiser was congratulated for the direction of Charles Harvey. The name is in honor of the fallen hero, assisted by other guests of the country. The postage left the undertaking departed at N. York, Eastham Teeth street, and parached at D. David St. And waits my spirit, too; For the cause that lacks assistance, For the failure in the distance. And the good that I can do. Yet all are here from every walk of life and of both races. In death we are not divided. Therefore, we, the representatives of the Chaste Division of the U. N. L. A. & A. C. L. with our insignia of Red, Hair and Green are here today to give expression in words and dead to the moral depth of this nation, to the moral depth of this nation and true democracy. We recognized this young man to be one of the most sick of the race the U. S. A. in general has at yet produced. Our motto is "One God, One Aim, One Destiny." We do not only believe in, but enjoin all with whom we come in contact the duty of obedience, loyalty and patriotism to the flag of the nation, which floats over us thereby proving ourselves desirable and worthy of the nation. Division of the U. N. L. A. shares in the heavy loss which the parents relatives and friends have sustained in the death of this chivalrous young man, whom we mourn. Therefore be it. Resolved. That the Charter Division of the U. M. L. A. evidences the superiority of its sympathy and confidence by some tangible than which will be secured to the memory of the Capitant; and be it further. Resolved. That a copy of these institutions be presented to the family, another be inserted in the proceedings of the forthcoming executive meeting Sims); J. W. NICHOLS, President; A. HAT, Correspondent. At Liberty Hall, Puntsie Barringer Guatemala, Sunday, September 18, our Sunday evening meeting, many meeting was held, and although the inclementy of the weather prevented us from attending, our usual attendance it is evident that the fall spirit of Gaytremay is deeply imbedded in the hearts and souls of the sons and daughters of our expressed resident in this republic. Our meeting was called to order by our weekly president, Prof. I. A. Davis, and after the singing of our opening ode, "From Greenland's Dry Mountain" prayers was rendered by Chaplain J. A. Wilkinson, after which he gave a very spirited and masterly address, expanding the principles of the U. N. J. A., which coincide exactly with the principles of true Christianity. This ecclesiast defined very clearly the substance of our Chaplain General's speech at the closing of the second international convention. A special musical program was rendered by the chair under the tutorship of Ahn Mary Martins, our lady organist. The songs and duets of our girls were similar to Kristen Houskin and Fraser-Hobson, and the women would suggest admirably the sending of two of those mothbirds birds to register their voices in Liberty Hall, New York, at occasion of 1882. After the duke and soloist Prof. L. A. Davis addressed the audience in his customary historical manner. This gentleman is a known crat of rehawn, and it would appear that since Commissioner Bourne returned from the second international convention with such encouraging news this world creater, Prof. Davis, seems to be clothed with more new life. In a wood, President Davis seems to be aspiring to reach on the level with our President General. Good for the gentleman, I wish we had a few more Davies and Bournes and also men like the chairman of the Advocacy, Board, M. & E. Thasian our division would surely measure up to the New York division. On the day in question although our deputy, Commissioner Bourne, was on lines visting, the branches the engraving was so great our meeting won, not criminally, until 1818, by On the next Sunday, October 22, the commissioners gave to the Los Angeles division No. III to give these good fails his official report of the con- vention, and the following Sunday, to the Maltese division.... Our brothers in these divisions are giving great pre- dictions to resolve the High Commission Burmese, and the High Japanese, they meet, to entail sum to their reception, their payment to the commissioners, the Maltese deputy, the High Maltese taking ynthy pay, the High Maltese all their dvignes in Maltese are giving ynthy pay and with the arrest ab- wolpting to double their payability by the next convention, as well as to run dar all the financial aid towards the Black Star Star and the High Copr stitution Daniel..... B. M. Reportors, Pueth Barric Divisions. Pueth Barric Quintamina, Sept. 22, 1911 THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1921 impresionado con la idea errónea de que nada puede ser resuelto por el Negro, sino por medio de la dirección, simpatia y caridad de otros. Cuán retrógado y barbaro pensamiento! El hombre se desarrolla no por lo que otros puedan hacer por el, sina por lo que el haga para si mismo; y al el Negro ha de depender en lo que por el hagan otros, serla lo mismo que depender en la eternidad, para el cambio de sus condiciones; pero toda vez que el Negro se disponga a hacer por si mismo, se convertirá en un hombre mejor y más feliz. MALA, VIVA EL QUINO SEPTIEMBRE, VIVA CE AMERICA, VIVA, MA GARVEY! COMUNICACION QUE LA REPUBLICA DE DIRIGE AL PRESIDU UNO DE NUESTROS PERADORES. Rev. Mons. Marcus Garvey, Presidente de la U.N. I. Nueva York, N.Y. LA ASOCIACIÓN UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA ha marcado el destino de cuatro cientos millones de negros hacia el camino del imperio. ¿ Y porque imperio no? Todos los hombres ambicionan imperio y dominio; todos los hombres ambicionan poder. Los anglo-sajones ambicionan poder imperial, sobre el cual el Sol nunca se oculte. Los alemanes pretendían poder que superase a todos los imperios del mundo. El americano ambiciona poder para que América sea la nación dominante del mundo. El negro del presente con el mismo espiritu ambiciona imperio, un imperio que haga a Africa la republica más grande, la nación más grande del mundo. El negro del presente ambiciona poder que le haga un hombre entre los hombres, parado firme a los cuatro vientos del globo diciendo, "you soy un hombre." Cuántos de los cuatro cientos millones de negros nos seguirán en este ideal? ¿ Decirme que no puede ser? ¿ Qué no podemos construir imperio; que no podemos solidificar la raza, que no podemos edificar una nación? ¿ Qué hay acerca de nuestras energias físicas, qué hay acerca del poder que Dios nos ha dado? ¿ Seremos paraliticos; habremos perdido los sentidos? Si es así, cuánto infortuniol De otro modo, ¿ porque decir que no podemos? Nuestro lema es el taladrar nuestro destino y dirigir a nuestra raza, a aquellos que se sientan con el deseo de siguirnos. AFRICA EN ESPAÑA Y ESPAÑA EN AFRICA Retrocediendo algunos centenares de años para recordar hechos históricos, un grupo de la raza negra, después de varias batallas, invadió y colonizó la parte meridional de España, casi desierta en aquella época. El pequeño grupo de otra raza que habitaba dicha región se frushado a otros puntos del norte, quedando por consiguiente la parte sur de España bajo el dominio de los Moros. Se ejercitó el periodo de colonización con una gran rapidéz y el progreso sentó sus raíces. Asi vivieron Relíces en su nuevo hogar, communicándose y comerciando con sus hermanos en el continente africano. Se desarra lló la admiración y la ambición entre los habitantes blancos del norte, y empezó entre ellos la organización para aniquilar y arrojar de aquella región la raza progresista, que en tan corto tiempo de ocupación, habia demostrado prosperidad por su constante labor. Se declaran rotas las hostilidades, y empieza la destrucción y la muerte. Batallan los Moros largo tiempo por retener sus poseciones, y el aniquilamiento reduce a los supervivientes a reconcentrarse en la costa, los que por fuerza mayor, según datos, fueron arrojados al mar, quedando de ese modo toda aquella prospera y fértil región, a merced de los nuevos invasores. No conformes con esto y aún más ambiosos por haber estudiado el carácter laborioso de los negros Moros, se preparan de nuevo los caucasicos para allanar la morada de la madre patria, el Africa; cometen toda clase de vejaciones, consecuencias directas de las guerras, y sientan los invasores su planta en la tierra de los negros, posecionándose de su territorio. Aprenden de ellos los medios mas eficaces para el desenvolvimiento en la vida de aquellos tempos; los esclavizan; los explotan; los extraen del hogar, y los esparcen por el mundo a la merced y para beneficio de las otras razas. Ha sonado de nuevo el clarín de libertad, y vemos a la antigua España sacrificando a sus hijos una vez más, para conservar en Africa el domino de sus poseciones. Cuántos sínabores y cuántos sacrificios por retener lo que humanamente no les pertenece! Es el espiritu ambicioso de Poder de todas épocas que disminuye circunstancialmente, y lo demuestra el hecho de que en cierto tiempo el Sol nunca se ocultó en tierra española. Pero ya es algo distinto; ya son pocas las tierras españolas que el nastro Sol ilumina. También los negros Moros, como toda raza que ayanza en el camino del progreso, aspiran a que el Sol de la libertad ilumine su tierra africana. La historia se impilita, repetida, hasta que legue el momento en los pueblos débiles e indefensos, se dé cuenta de suilidad, y se preparen a ser fuertes para ser respetados. La Raza Deba Ascender en La Persecución de Objetos Mas Elevados—Deba Conquistar Los Cumbres de Opariclón —Deba Tener Valor Para No Rendirse—El Negro Deblirn Sentirse Un Poder Humano—El Hombre Deblirn Dominar Los Elementos y La Naturaleza, y Unarlos a su Antojo e Debemos detenernos o debemos continuar? LA ASOCIACIÓN UNIVERSAL PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA nos dice que debemos continuar en la persecución de objetos mas elevados. De una raza de hace cuatro años, desorganizada y sin propósito, nos hemos convertido en una organización mundial con un grande y noble ideal. Nuestro deseo al presento es el de continuar en la persecución del ideal, hasta conseguir los resultados apetecidos. Cual es el ideal? Es el de una nación africana libro y redimida, governada por los pueblos negros del mundo. Ascendiendo hacia este ideal, debemos esperar encontrarnos con obstáculos de todas clases procedentes, no solo de aquellos que están en contra nuestra, sino que también de los que están en nuestras propias filas. El trabajo de LA ASOCIACIÓN PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA, para la emancipación de cuatro clientes millones de la raza negra, es un trabajo, de reformación. Todos los movimientos de reforma, y sudos los reformistas han tenido sus desallentos; pero según LA ASOCIACIÓN PARA EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA NEGRA, estamos dispuestos a que no haya desallentos que nos retrocedan en la grape de y noble causa que hemos emprendedo. Estamos dispuestos a ascender las cumbres de oposición para conquistar lo mas elevado, tan grabado en nuestros corazones. Todo lo que deseamos veres un sentimiento de determinación, por parte de todos y cada uno de los que constituyen la raza negra. El negro del presente debe determinarse a proceder o morir. El deseo propiamente ejecutado reportará los resultados apreciados. La diferencia humana consiste en que unos tienen deseo, deseo de ejecutar, deseo de conquistar, deseo de no rendirse; y otros, sin ningún deseo, se conforman elempra con la creencia de que "es inutil probar, no quedarra." Con el Negro del presente no hay nada imposible que sea posible a cualquier hombre. Si los hombres en épocas pasadas han edificado naciones imperios, si los hombres en ejecución pasando se han independizado de la esclavitud industrial y social, nosotras también como raza debemos hacerlo hoy o prepararnos a morir; a pasar del estado humano de acción; a ser sepultados en el olvido del pasado, como una raza sin derecho de vivir entre las criaturas del Sen Supremo. Si yo pudiera infundir en todos y cada uno de los miembros de nuestra raza el sentirse un ser humano con superioridad, que en el existen los elementos de verdadera humbría, que en el reposa la fuerza humana que sufrema al resto de la creación, entonces podría yo decirla: Adelante, y a triunfar! Hombres, y mujeres de nuestra raza, no se posenionarian ustedes de esta creencia? No estarian ustedes en la canflanza de que el Todopoderoso les ha creado como un hombre y una mujer? Como un ser natural Dios le ha colocado en este planeta como soberano de la creación de manera que todos los elementos de la naturaleza estén a disposición. Edison ha dominado la electricidad; hoy el mundo refleja la brillantez de su gran luminación. Stephenson, por medio de sua experimentos, nos ha dado el uso del vaper de agua, y hoy las locomoturas vuelan por el mundo a una velocidad de 60 millas por horn. Marconi conquistó las correntes del aire y hoy nos ha dado telegrafo sin hilos, que envía noticias a través del continente con una rápidé aún conocida por el hombre. Todo esto nos revela que el hombre, es el ser supremo de la creación; que en el hombre dessansa el poder de dominar, dominar todo lo creado, sumlendose columna el Arquitecto. Divino en lo que sea espiritual, en lo que sea divino. DISCURSO DEL HON. COMISIONADO G. S.

El manifesto del partido Democrata declara que esto se ha conseguido, a pesar de los errores, desde las irregularidades comedidas por el partido Nacionalista desde subio al poder Mr Forbes en un discuro pronunciado ante los representantes de ambos partidos que presentaron los manifestos, dio que la Mission en su informe al presidente Harding rendiria el teibuto merecido a la capacidad de los filipinos para gobernarse a si mismos.
