The Fight Is From Grafte
Fellow Men of the Negro Race Greeting:
Just at this time there is a well organized propaganda and conspiracy engineered by a combination of forces known and unknown, seen and unseen, in the United States of America, and different parts of the world to undermine the powerful influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in uniting Negroes everywhere.
This propaganda and conspiracy is being conducted on the one hand by some of our one-time slave masters, who have never been able to outlive the idea that the Negro should be anything else but a slave, and on the other hand by a cheap, brainless, conscienceless, treacherous, disloyal band of Negro reprobates who, like traitors of all causes, national, secular and religious, are ever willing to sell themselves for the thirty dirty pieces of silver.
It is difficult for me to explain thoroughly and as clearly as I would like to the complete make-up of the combinations that are now organized to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the futile hope of preventing us from realizing our great objective of an emancipated race and a free and redeemed Africa.
Men of the race, you must understand this, that the cause for which you right, which is to liberate yourselves, industrially, commercially, socially, educationally religiously, politically, and to establish a great nation of our own in Africa, is a purpose that is beyond the intention of certain people towards us as a race. They do not desire to see the Negro anything else but a slave, a peon, a serf therefore, any idea that could tend in any way to make the Negro a full man, self-respecting self-reliant independent is an idea that will be fought by them to the bitter end. All kinds of subterfuges will be brought to bear upon the great issue of liberty for the race, so as to thwart the realization of the great plan. Strategy diplomacy and counter plans of all kinds will be resorted to to defeat the noble work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association
They, our hereditary slave masters, those of them who are narrow-minded enough to still oppress the Negro, when they find that they themselves cannot strike the death blow for destroying the everlasting hope of the Negro for freedom liberty and true democracy, will employ men and women of our own race probably pay them handsomely so as to carry out the dirty work, and today we are face to face with such organizations. Organizations of Negroes who are working under the whip lash of our ancient masters, and who are now moving heaven and earth so as to perform the service they have been paid for, that of endeavoring to defeat the great cause of Negro liberty. This propaganda has been so reared and engineered that they receive their support from all quarters, so as to be able to fight the great and noble movement known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
If you will read between the lines of the many articles that are written in some white and colored newspapers, you will easily detect the propaganda that is being waged against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is unfortunate that it is so, nevertheless, we must admit that some of our newspaper men and some of our so-called public men have not yet caught the vision of the higher spirit of service. They are still willing to sell themselves, their honor, their loyalty to race, their self-respect, just for a few dollars, caring not from what quarter it comes. And so the great fight is on, the fight for Negro liberty, against the skillfully planned and designed campaign engineered and fostered by our old slave masters, and by the cheap good-for-nothing Negroes, to ever keep us on the grindstone of economic, social, political and independent national and international needs.
When it is considered that they have been able to influence and pay and keep even some of the men whom we ourselves honored in electing them to positions as leaders of the people, you will realize how far flung is the cam-

ALL NEGROES ASKED TO BE LOYAL TO CAUSE FOR LIBERTY
paign to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But traitors we have always had and traitors we will probably never be able to get rid of.
Some of these cheap good-for-nothing Negroes are now trying to turn our race into Bolsheviks, through the money that they receive from anarchistic quarters, so that it can be said in another fire or ten years that Negroes are Bolsheviks and are anarchists, and therefore we cannot harm them at large; we must either deport them from this country or that country, or get rid of them somehow or the other. This is the secret plan of a certain class of our enemies who desire to bring about the immediate downfall of the Negro, so as to make room for the greater white population that is to come, and the Negroes who advocate their cause have no better sense, no better loyalty, no better conscience, than to accept money from them, and wage relentlessly a campaign for converting Negroes into anarchists and Bolsheviks.
While on the other hand, another class of the same old slave masters who desire to bring about the downfall of the Negro hand out subsidies to the more intellectual class of our so-called leaders, and inspire them to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to prevent Negroes from being organized the world over for their own liberation in Africa and their own economic emancipation everywhere. Such Negroes you know, you have read their writings in their magazines, in their newspapers. I now warm you against them.
Then still we have some of the same old slave masters who are bold enough to give out in public print and write disparagingly about our effort to free the race. It is a pity that we labor under such disadvantages, that we have not had that schooling in diplomacy and in public affairs as to make us grasp immediately the intention of such sinister movements; nevertheless, those of us who are enlightened, it is our duty to point out to you the great danger and as I write this week I trust that Negroes everywhere will get to understand that there is but one fight that must be waged to the bitter end—the fight for our own liberty, our freedom, our emancipation everywhere, and in waging this great fight for liberty, be careful that we accept not the advice of the ancient enemy, be sure that we accept not the leadership and the guidance of the ancient enemy, because we will only be courting our doom.
Negroes who go about and advocate better relationship between themselves and other people are the Negroes who are going about in disguise to keep you in slavery and in bondage. All sensible peoples know that there will never be any better race relationship between peoples until all peoples occupy the common standard for development, and for any weak race of people to talk about a better relationship with other races that are strong, they are only wasting time, that time that they should have given to improving their own condition.
Negroes who talk about better race relationship are the fellows who are being paid to deceive you and let you believe that by being satisfied with your condition and by looking up to some superior master for everything that you will be better off. That time will never come.
All that I can advise you to do is to get together with your moral, financial, intellectual and political strength the world over, and by a great combination of effort move even the rocks of Gibraltar in your enslaught against injustice, iniquity and slavery, so as to achieve by the destruction of these obstacles that liberty that you so much desire.
Negroes, I advise you the world over to watch yourselves. Your greatest enemies today are the men from within who are endeavoring to stifle the

great longing hope you have had. Some of these wicked Negroes receive the pay of others to defeat us. They go out with glaring programs telling us that they are fighting for the redemption of Africa, telling us that they love Africa so much, when all that the grafters need is to get some money from whatsoever source it comes and to sell out the race when the highest bidder comes around. Watch these so-called champions of Negro liberty. We have had them sell out the race in the past. They will continue to sell out the race until you yourselves set an example for them and make it expensive for Negroes to deceive Negroes. Men who claim that they lead only for a living are the fellows that you must watch every step of the way, and we have many of them today who lead only for a livelihood. The idea of leaders confessing that they lead for a living! Ask them what they have lost by being criticised, and they will tell you that they have lost their chance of a livelihood among the people. Such leaders, who make leadership a profession and not a service of love, are the men who will never help us in better conditions.
Let us take great leaders like David Lloyd George of England, Charles James Hughes of Attica and Monsieur Brland of France. Do you think such man lead for a living? Do you think such men look upon the leadership that they give to their race for the pay that they can get? No, never. They look upon it as a service for their race, a service to humanity, a service of love. This is the kind of leadership that Negroes want today. Not "How much is in it for me?" not "How much salary will I get?" but "How much good can I do even by sacrificing, even by dying, for the cause?" I hope you Negroes of the world will stop for a minute and think. See that your future is imperiled and see that a dangerous attempt is being made to destroy you, to disrupt your spirit of love, of loyalty to self. Be guided, be guided, be guided.
First of all, before you attempt to follow any man who comes out with any new program, especially the talk about the freedom of Africa, scrutinize him, analyze him, trace him even to his birth, and find out if he is a real Negro and what has been his associations, what has been his positions before he took up the cause of working for Africa. Yes, you will find many a man coming out today with his African scheme, but who can tell who is behind him?
I would like to say much more, and explain much more than can really appear in public print, but I am warning you Negroes of the world, if you allow yourselves to travel in the wrong direction, remember that Marcus Garvey from the profoundest depths of his heart warned you. I repeat that these destructive agencies are at work to defeat you in that purpose for freedom, for liberty; destructive agencies are at work to reduce you to slavery; destructive agencies are at work to deprive you of your livelihood; destructive agencies are at work to keep you under live in the house that you now live in; when somebody else will occupy the place you now occupy, until the time comes when someone else will live in the house that you now live in; that someone else will occupy the country that you now call your own. Negroes, be warned, be warned; if you take my advice, you do one thing that is reasonable, do one thing that is possible; that is, get together, get together in America, in the West Indies, in Africa, in South and Central America, and organize yourselves into one mighty band; then we will have before us the greatest Negro organization ever organized in the world, organized by Negroes, led by Negroes, supported by Negroes. I can recommend you, therefore, to no greater movement for your support than that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is your movement; you organized it; you supported it in the past; you must support it in the future so that it can bring about that freedom, that liberty that we pray for.
Trusting that you will abide by the advice that we have given you, and trusting our great Golf will guild us that we may overcome all the enemies now lined up against us, I have the honor to be.
Your obedient servant.

President General.

Frederick Douglass learned by years of association and intimate

founder of Livingstone University, aed a year before Frederick

Hence when Frederick Douglass dicd there were a growing

above him intel’ectually Then Negro students who were pursuing
advanged graduate studies in the leading umversities of the land were
beginning to come into the limelight \While Dr Washington possessed
great tect ard diplomacy and unnjue gifts as orator and educational
organizer, he was not big enough intellectually, not heroic enough in
personality to dominate the other lenders. Hence we had instead of a
Negro king in America a score of powerful feudal lords or barons who
wielded griat influence in their respective communities or religious de-
nominations.

PhD, and possessed a graceful Iterary style, a manly personality and
polished manners m the bargain finally resulted in a few Northern
philanthropists selecting him as their favorite. But he hod the same
difficulty in becoming a Negro king that Dr Booker T. Washington
did. In the first place the number of colored men who could deliver
brilliant addresses and write brilliant articles on philosophical, psycho-
Jogica’, scientific, sociologica!, economic and literary themes was greater
“than jn the days when Dr. Booker T. Washnigton was in the height
‘of his power. Then Dr Du Bois was not enough of a mixer and
popusr orator to mobilize the masses of his race. So we had until

In the article under discussion, Mr Stnbling admits that “the
colored women of Trinidad are becoming ambitious for their chil-

the Rhodes scholarships and the governmental scholarships awarded
in Trinidad go to colored boys or Negroes” The author goes on,

race is a story that 1s not yet written. One of these days a Negro

it puts to flight all the lying and prejudiced stories some writers

HIS HOLINESS. BISHOP McGUIRE
OD grantthat the day will never come when men will corse
G to respect the cloth But should that day come as it seems
fast coming, is it not possible that some ministers will be
responsible? One of the most conspicuous examples of a miscar-
riage of a godly profession 18 that of Bishop Alexander MeGuire
This reverend gentleman has added another blot upen the fare name
of the church, which remains for the God-fearing men everswhere
to overcome by repudiating preachers of his type
At the recent international convention of the UN TA this
gentleman, then Chaplain General of the association, reeigned. his
position, giving as a reason that work in connection with some new
church that he 8 interetsed in was such that he could not give the
association his full time, as required by the constitution The asso:
clation, feeling that it was granting him a favor accepted his resig-
nation in order that he might be alle to devote h.s entire time to
the work of the church
But soon aftor his resignation Bishop McGuire began to take
advantage of his former connection with the association by circu.
larizing members of the association in the interest of his ne v project
Many members, believing that he waa in some official way connected
with the U. N. I. A, felt that as members it was their duty to con-
tribute to his project, but before doing sc they wrote the office of
the President-General for advice, as the matter was causing some
confusion. The President-General, not wi.hing to do anything to
hinder Bishop McGuire's proposition, wrote him a very gentlemanly
letter requesting that he desist from circulanzing the divisions,
pointing out his reasons for making the request, and at the senic
time telling him that he took thio method as he did not wish to
write the divisions regarding the matter or to give the matter any
publicity that might injure the bishop. It was felt that the bishop,
knowing the great program the second international convention had
pyreed upon, would consider the spirit in which the request was
made atid govern himself accordingly. But what must have been
olir surprise when-on picking up @ copy of the New York Age wo
raw Bistiop McGuire's picture, the correspondence that the Presi-
fént-General had with him, and a whole lot of bunk concerning his
personal liberty, ete. It was only after the raving ot the good bishop
that the Preaident-CGeneral wrote tht divisions that the bishop's new
church was not connected with the U N 1. A, and directing them
what course to take
Following thes the bishop, to show just how interested he was
in African Redemption, joined some kind of @ secret organization
known as the African Blood Brotherhood, said to be opposed to
the program of the UN I A We next find the bishop, who gave|
as his only reason for resigmng from the U N I A that he could
not give st all his time, giving six other reasons for resigning Next
we hind him im court as a star witness against the U Nf A, and
even now as we write this article we have before us an announce-
ment stating tat the bishop, together with several persons who
were once connected with the UN I A, but whose services the
assucation thought best to dispose of, will dehver one of the prin
Gpal uddresses for an organization opposed to the UN 1 A Thus
asa brit bustorsy of the recent activines of this honorable bishop
Hews not the mtentien of this association to cabaze Bishop
“folume tor joing anther organization He could have joimed
the Ku Klux Klan if he wished, instead of the secret organization
je jeoned, with a similar medus operandi, and there would have been
no complaint from this side He 13 free to decide in matters of this
kind for hunself But to behold this man whose tears (we wonder
were they crocodile) moved the convention to sympathy as he ex-
pressed Fis great Ipve for the U N I, A, now resorting to methods
which even men of an unsavory reputation would hesitate to take,
18 1 sight to shame the gods.
But a little reflection will find another example of his present
conduct It seems characteristic of the man to seek to bring others
down with him as he falls, When he found out in the August con-
vention that he had to leave the association he tried hip best to
make the assuciation expel other efficers with him and he did not
rest until he had produced enough evidence to have one of his
best frends removed from office A very laughable thing hap
pened recently in court where he was testifying against the UN
1 A which farther strengthens this point When he tuok the
stand he was asked by the attorneys whether he was then an officer
otthe UN TY His reply was "No fm not and neither ts the |
gentleman who just tested before me" This gentleman whom |
he had reference to was his send, Rev JD Gordon, who was}
testifving on the same sade with the bishop It seemed that Dr
Gordon was about to get away with eomething that the bishop: a
held up on and rather than have at done he would advance some
snfermatien about his frend which the court did not ask Of a
truth he has that “quality” seldom found among men of his pro-
fesston of wanting to pull down ¢thers with him when misfortune
overtakes hun What does he expect to gan by this senseless tirade
agaist the greatest organization on earth?
The Inshop 18a brilhant man But to see him in the role he has
naw assumed renders him almost tragical May the God, whom he
professes to know and to whom he poure out his supplications,
deliver dum from Ine present «tate of mind or else the fire, which
he teaches sinners to shun, will consume him Sclah

MR. DUSE MAHOMEF ALL, FAMOUS EGYPTIAN AUTHOR AND EDITOR, GIVES INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE ON "AFRICA" TO LIBERTY HALL AUDIENCE
Says First Great Civilization of the World Came Out of Egypt and Was Founded by Black Men
LIBERTY HALL, Nov 28, 1921 — "Mr President, Brothers and Sisters of Africa. It gives me extreme pleasure to be among you tonight. Although I am from Egypt, I have never forgotten that Egypt is part of Africa, and also that the first great civilization of the world came out of Egypt and was founded by black men" (Cheers)
Thus spoke Mr Duse Mohamed, Ali Ffendi, famous author and editor of the African and Orient Review, before a large audience at Liberty Hall this evening.
finances of the world the Jew makes and unmakes war, and the Jew by his money has purchased Palestine, and he finds it necessary to have Palestine as his objective. All the Jews do not want to go back to Palestine, but by having Palestine as their objective they can say that they have a country of their own, and from that background they can work many things in their interest I like the Jews you have a country
"As you are perhaps aware these black people whom I believe comprised the original creation came from the white and blue Nile into upper Egypt twenty-five thousand years ago and founded the first grand civilization of the world. This civilization, because of the evils they had committed, was swept away at the time of the flood, and then another black or Negro civilization was founded ten thousand years ago by the sons of Ham who were black
In course of time these people who began to sin again as their forebears had done found their country invaded by a brown race of people, principally from Arabia and these are the people whom the modern writers would have you believe were the original founders of Egyptian civilization. This is absolutely correct but we have nothing to do with that. I am speaking now particularly about the black people and the original founders of that civilization. These people scattered in the North East West and South of Africa and you will find their descendants to day on the other portion of the African coast which is Egypt and I see before me today the descendants of these very people who had founded that very civilization thousands of years ago in Egypt.
Now owing to the Western civilization which the majority of you have received—and received without question—you have naturally assumed that the only civilization that exists or ever did exist was the civilization founded by the brown man, yellow man or white man. As a matter of fact the books that you have read are books written by white men. These books have always discredited any antecedents of the Negro, and in consequence of that in course of time you began to believe that you did not have any civilization, that you was a savage country, and that you should be particularly grateful to the whites for having brought you to this country and given you civilization.
Black Man Congueror of Spain
There is a point I would like to mention the Moors who conquered Spain were not brown men, nor yellow men nor white men. There were brown men among them but these formed only a small portion of the large Moors army that conquered Spain. The conqueror of Spain was a man named Mura or Moses, and this Mura was a Negro a black man. Later on we find a number of professors in universities at Cordova and Bevillie, and these black men—Negroes—kept the lamp of learning alight in Spain at the time when all Europe was in a state of barbarism.
If we get back to the people in Africa, the people from whom we are descended, it is assumed from the history books you read that these people are either as or semi-savages, but I can assure you from my visit and from personal observation they are nothing of the kind. They might not have what you call civilization or what a friend of mine terms paralysis but they have not only good executive ability and common sense, but they have that thing you have not got and that is contentment I take it that of the greatest good to be obtained in the world there should be no greater good than contentment I have relived considerably over the world and I have never seen a more contented and happy people than those I saw on the West Coast of Africa last year. The white man is prone to say that this contentment comes from a sense of irresponsibility and is due to the fact that the Negro's childlike. Not necessarily so I should say that if the black man is childlike he has a better chance of getting to heaven than the white man, because the founder of Christianity said, "Unius ye be like a child you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven" (Applause)
Diplomacy of the African
Now in regard to the acumen or diplomacy of the real African the man who is considered a barbarian by the whites or a real savage. I will relate an incident which was brought to my notice in Nigeria, in regard to an old African chief. At the outbreak of hostilities, this chief was approached by a District Commissioner, who came in haste at night and requested the African chief to supply him with soldiers to fight the Germans, who would invade Nigeria shortly. The chief said it was not a matter with which he could deal, it was a matter for his council. And if the Commissioner would wait until the following day, he would put the matter before them and have their opinion. On the following day the District Commissioner wished upon the chief and his council, and the matter was, again brought before them. After a little consultation, the chief said to the Commissioner: "When you English came to this country of ours, you told us that fighting was not good; that fighting was the business of savages and barbarians. You told us we should till the soil and obtain produce from the soil. You said that these were the arts of peace, and
```markdown
```
---
It was necessary that we should pursue the arts of peace. You told us that inasmuch as fighting was barbarous, we should not fight among ourselves, and in case there was any incursion into our country you would protect our lands. In course of time our fighting men died now we have only men of peace men who till the soil wherefore then shall we have soldiers to fight the battles of England* Our men have become weak as women and they cannot fight but you. The British who came to our country and told us that you would protect us, we know you will keep your war, we know you will protect us, that the Germans when they come our borders. We will supply you in barriers, but we cannot supply you with soldiers, as we have no fighting men. (Continued cheers)
African Life
In West Africa it is also presumed that the average African is a gentle man who runs about with a small piece of loin cloth and lives for the most part, under a banana tree and wait for a banana to fall in his mouth. (Course all this is incorrect. In West Africa I found there agriculturists and a most industrious people. They till the soil reap the produce, and they are kept on a bargain. In addition to that they build towns of their own. They might not be towns similar to those you see here but climatic conditions do not make it necessary, they have mud houses with thatched roofs, and are not only clean but well appointed and suitable to their needs. As a matter of fact, I have lived for a few days, in one of these so-called mud huts, and not only was it clean but it was warm, and when the heat was high it was cool inside. The towns are extremely clean and the roads are kept clean by the natives, not because of the pressure of the English, but because each section of mud happens to be under some particular chief who keeps up this section. Again in the coast towns, where the natives have become more civilized, they for the most part are traders, and they are endeavouring to bring about some sort of union between themselves and you of the new world. In this connection I have a theory, and it is this. That you people who are here were sent by God for a specific purpose. Nothing happens in this world by accident, in the time long ago your forebears had committed things against the God-head for which you had to be punished. He in his wisdom greatness and kindness, sent you to this new world, because he knew what the economic development of the world would be. He knew that the Africans in Africa with their local knowledge could not adequately compete against the European when the time came for the European to seize the entire world, in consequence of that, he sent a number of you here to pass through much suffering. In order that you might acquire this civilization of the white man and take it back to Africa, for the purpose of enlightening your less-informed brothers.

"Now it is foolish to suppose that you have nothing in common with your African brothers, he is stretching forth his hand to you all the time, he is calling to you all the time, it is true that you do not hear him, but if you listen you will fear the voices calling you back to Africa. Those of you who are citizens of the United States of America are finding that this citizenship is of no practical value to you, you are finding that gradually you are being pressed out of employment which you had you are finding that certain advantages which had been given to Negroes at the time of the reconstruction have been taken away and that gradually you are being driven to the wall. And the time will come when you will find that it will be absolutely necessary for you to go back to Africa or starve. In the West Indies the English have given you certain liberties, which you people do not enjoy in this country, but for the most part these are negative liberties. The British have no special interest in these islands, consequently you find yourselves there doing very ill, which I believe is the reason for the large migration to the United States, and you have always got to remember that wherever you are, whatever you do as long as you have a black face and you admit that any of your forebears were Africans, that you should always have Africa as your objective.
Jews Purchased Palestine
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY; DECEMBER 24, 1921
finances of the world the Jew makes and unmakes wars, and the Jew by his money has purchased Palestine, and he finds it necessary to have Palestine as his objective. All the Jews do not want to go back to Palestine, but by having Palestine as their objective they can say that they have a country of their own, and from that background they can work many things in their interest Unlike the Jews you have a country It is true that the European has spread himself over the land, and has made stately claims and created spheres of influence, and even in some parts of Africa, the white man has become a South African, and the native of the soil has become a native. It is a huge joke. A white man cannot become an African as much as a jackass born in a stable is not necessarily a horse (laughter) Notwithstanding this—Africa is the property of the Africana, because God has made it so.
Black Man Fittest of Humanity
Black Man Fittest of Humanity
Now it is a curious thing but a fact nevertheless that the black man is absolutely the fittest of humanity, and is bound to survive. He will outlive the white man. The white man is on the way now to destroy himself, and he will assuredly do so, and when he has done it, the black man will come into his own again. But there is something else in connection with this survival of the fittest. There is no climate where the black man cannot live, and work and breed. Up to latitude 36 degrees 30 minutes north and on the other hand 36 degrees 30 minutes south between these latitudes (which is the natural habitat of the black man) the white man cannot live nor breed nor work. Now the business of the black man is to prevent the white man from placing him between 36 degrees 30 minutes north and 36 degrees 30 minutes south, and making of him—the African in that area a slave to work for him in order that the products of that latitude be handed over to him the white man) for his special benefit.
Black Heroes Greater Than White
"The difficulty with black men is—that they know too little about themselves, and my advice to you is to sit about learning something about your antecedents. It is all very well to talk about Wellington, Nelson and Lincoln. They are all very editable, but they are not your people. You have got numberless black heroes, heroes who have done greater things than any of the men I have met oned. Heroes of whom you may well be proud, and these are the things I would like you to think about and find out, so that when you are approached by a man of a different race, you will have the answer ready for him. It is because you do not know these things, that you have not the proper pride in yourselves, and you have everything to be proud of, because you have the great civilization of Egypt, not once but twice. And you have also to your credit the fact that black men taught Europeans in Spain at the time when men in Europe were barbarisms.
Now I beg of you to take counsels with yourselves, draw yourselves closer to Africa. There are many men in Africa who would be willing to correspond with you through the organ, The Negro World make of them brothers. You will be pleased to go to see them and when you are gone you will ask others to come to see you, because you will find the land really flowing with milk and honey, and a land which is really yours.
I hope that if the time should come when I can be of any assistance to you the people of my mother (because my mother was a black woman and I am proud of it), you have just to call upon me if I am in this country, or write to me if I am in England, and I shall be only too glad to give you any advice and help I can. My brothers and sisters, I thank you.

A GREETING FROM KETCHIKAN, ALASKA
December 8, 1921.
To The Negro World,
56 West 135th Street,
New York City, N. Y. U. S. A.
Dear Sirs! Inclosed you will find a United States postoffice money order to the amount of $24.00 for which please renew my subscription to the valuable newspaper known and published as The Negro World for one year at the advertised rate, which is $2.50. and the 10 cents is to purchase a Christmas number of The Negro World. I trust that my ordep reaches the office in time, as I desire a number of that Christmas issue.
In my little town I am the only Negro man here. Yet I have some white neighbors who read The Negro World, and it is for me to tell the truth. They have read my paper and they say that to their way of thinking it is beyond a doubt "the best Negro newspaper they ever read." And I am sure that it is the best that I ever read.
There is a school teacher here—in fact, he is a school "superintendent"—who has read some of the able and scholarly editorials of Sir William H. Ferris, and he declares that a man of such learning and super brain power, and of such extraordinary vision, should never have been born a "black man." The Northern educator has failed to give me an answer as to the martor of all Degrees, the Hon Marcus Garvey, it is really too bad, yet it cannot be
#
helped, that I have not even a limited education, so that I could have given this schoolmaster an answer to his statement that 'Sir William H Ferris should never have been born a colored man.'
Well, I truthfully hope that this letter and order reaches the office O K.
With the very best wishes for the success of The Negro World and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I am, very truly yours.
WILLIAM H WHEAT.

PROF. LEO WIENER, OF HARVARD UNIV., WHO SAID AFRICANS DISCOVERED AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS, TO ADDRESS AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec 15—The American Negro Academy meets in its twenty-fifth annual session in this city Tuesday and Wednesday, December 27 and 28. The evening sessions will be held in Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard University Campus at 7:30 p.m., and the public is cordially invited to attend. Programs of unusual interest have been arranged for both evenings, and in addition to scholarly papers by members of the Academy two interesting messages will be delivered by eminent men of letters.
Mr Lee Wiener, professor of Slavic languages and literatures at Harvard University, and author of "Africa and the Discovery of America," will deliver an address on "The Problems of African Civilization and Duse Mahomed All of London England, editor of the magazine, Africa and Orient Review," will read a paper on "The Necessity for a Chair in Negro History in Our Colleges."
The opening session Tuesday, December 27, at 7:30 p.m., will be addressed by Mr Arthur A. Schomburg of New York, the president of the Academy subject, "The Negro as a Soldier in the Civilization of America" Mr L M Horshaw will read a paper on a timely topic, "The Growth of Negro Population in the United States" and Prof Alain LeRoy Locke, of Howard University, will speak on "The Problem of Race and Culture" As recent as November 1, of this year, a prominent American archaeologist wrote Professor Wiener concerning his "Africa and the Discovery of America" as follows:
"For some time I have been anxiously waiting for the page proof or gallery proof of your new volume, which you promised to send me. I am eager to see it. Your talk the other day made a deeper impression upon me than I like to acknowledge, and it has the result of causing me to postpone the publication of my 'Manual de Arqueologia Andina' until after your book is fully out and until I have carefully mastered its contents. Though I do not go so far yet as to say that I agree with your views, I do say that you are clearly the deepest investigator of American aboriginal culture now working in this country. So like a wary automobileist at a grade crossing, I 'stop look and listen.'"
THE NEGRO CHILD IN THE FIELD OF FINE ARTS
An Exposition Concert for the benefit of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc. will be given under the direction of David L. Martin, Thursday evening, Dec. 29, 1921, at Carnegie Hall, Fifty-seventh street and Seventh avenue.

"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
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

THINGS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
Some Pertinent Facts About The Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey一Observe the Composition of "The League of Parasitic Enemies" Operating Against the U. N. I. A.
LIVING LIVE THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
LIVING LIVE THE NEGRO RACE
1. The Universal Negro Improvement Association was and is organized to serve the Negro Race and has no other purpose.
2. Because of the selfishness existing among the more prosperous and educated Negroes it was hard to get the right kind of people to start and help the movement. Everybody wanted money for his or her services. Nobody was willing to work free to start the organization.
3. Marcus Garvey risked his future, his money, his reputation, his all to start the organization when all other educated Negroes called him a fool for so doing.
4. When certain people of color were afraid to be called Negroes and to mention the name Africa as related to them, Marcus Garvey stepped out in public, spoke for Africa, wrote for Africa, and made his attempt to dignify the term Negro. Men of the race laughed at him, they wrote and said unkind things of him.
5. He founded the "Negro World"; the so-called educated people of the race spurred it. They did not like the term NEGRO. Marcus Garvey was determined to dignify it. They would not buy the paper, so as to crush it. Garvey had a hard time to keep his ideals before the world. He spent all his hard time in organizing the movement. Several of the poor people of the race came to his rescue and donated about one thousand dollars to finance the Negro World. Garvey could not pay an editor; he edited, managed and distributed the paper himself.
6. It was all money, money, money; no one would help except "so small" in cash was immediately forthcoming. Garvey wrote his copy, took it to the printers, gave his promise to the printers that the bill would be paid. The printers printed the paper. Garvey went for it and took the bundles himself; he sold the papers and paid the bills for the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
7. Through Garvey's vigorous writings and messages, the Negro World found a way into the hearts of all true and patriotic Negroes. The Universal Negro Improvement Association thereby took a sudden jump upward.
8. Garvey took it that all Negroes were honest to themselves in race; he took it that all Negroes felt as he did. He contracted the debts on his own account, and he week after week printed fifty thousand copies of the Negro World and sent them to agents all over the world.
9. The agents robbed the paper of about $75,000.00. They sold the copies at inflated prices and never sent in the money. Individual agents who have since become the enemies of Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro World owe the paper amounts ranging each from $500 to $1,900.
10. Through the dishonesty of the agents, Garvey had to work twice as hard as the ordinary editor to prepare the paper and have it printed. Nevertheless the Association gained in membership and support through the universal circulation of the Negro World.
11. This time came when regularly employed help had to be gotten. Several men were employed and it was no longer Garvey alone. Several of the men who came were offered positions by Garvey so as to help them and to give them the opportunity to work in the interest of their race. They were offered living wages and given every chance to make good. Garvey had to overwork himself to gather the money to pay these men, himself going without any salary, scarcely being able to find food for himself. The public started to observe the growth of the Association. The ever suspicious of the race cried out, "Garvey is a thief, Garvey escaped from his country, Garvey is wanted by the police of his native land, Garvey can't go back to his country. Garvey won't allow any one else to handle the money, Garvey is flogging the people," and thousands of other unkind and uncharitable epithets were hurled at him for trying to do good, even though he never spent a minute in fall for grieve; even though he is respected in his country by all those knew him.
12. A "black" class of Negroes accused Garvey of suppressing the intelligence of the rest by not giving the "no-called educated" more responsible problems in the organization, even though Garvey invited everyone to leave the story; but the "no-called educated" remained out and away from the normal position to get by.
13. Garvey has now the organization everybody, and several of the "no-called educated" and "black" come in. They were placed in positions because they were incompetent, and what has happened? They have robbed. Being robbed and more often, as with the same of the organization. Some of the members, though, have not worked in jail. Some have started new organizations, and others have been so successful that made them successful.

Observe the Composition of "The
nies" Operating Against the U.
14. Through the dishonesty of some of the "so-called educated," Garvey has had to suffer many reverses. Business transactions and financial arrangements which Garvey was too busy to attend to himself and left to others opened the door for several of these "so-called educated" (whom he trusted to represent him) to rob and cheat the organization, and thus make it harder for Garvey to protect and represent the interests of the people.
15. As often as found out the so-called "educated" tramps and villains have been kicked out of the organization. Several of them have formed new organizations, started newspapers and journals. And some of the organizations, newspapers and journals, after collecting a few thousand dollars from the poor, innocent people, have gone out of existence; but the villains still hover around, connecting themselves with other papers and organizations that keep up a fight against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Garvey.
16. Observe carefully the composition of any anti-Garvey organization or paper and you will find there a congregation of dismissed, disgraced and so-called resigned employees of either the Universal Negro Improvement Association, The Negro World or the Black Star Line Corporation. All birds of a feather flock together. All villains keep together.
17. All honest and self-respecting employees and officials of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who started with the movement, who joined and were afterwards elected to office, are still with the organization. All the crooked men as found out have had to go.
18. Some joined the association to get popularity by their connection, and when they found that they could not remain in and exploit the association for their own personal purposes, have had to go. Things were made too hot for them. They had to go and swell the number of disappointed.
SUGGESTION
Put under examination the men who are now fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and you will find:
A man now discredited by all well-informed religious bodies. A man who plays with God as if He were a plaything. A man who would take a dima from a dying man in the name of God. A man who at one time was a Methodist, at another time an Episcopalian, another time a Free Anglican, and then a Greek Catholic, all for the convenience of exploiting the innocent and unsuspecting Negro.
A man who served a prison term in Panama and was extradited from his country.
A man who, in the absence of his friend who asked him to protect his grocery store, got a hand cart and removed to his home several articles from the shelves of the front space and then filled up the space with articles from the back space. The goods were subsequently recovered, but only the pleadings of mutual friends saved the man from a prison term.
A man who constantly collects money from the public to start a magazine or paper and then owns personally with his wife the magazine or paper afterwards, without giving the public a statement of what has become of the money.
A man who has robbed several poor people and many organizations.
A man who has illegally taken two thousand dollars in the name of the Black Star Line and who may be apprehended at any minute, as soon as certain legal technicalities are settled.
A man who said that he is a leader of the race for a living.
A man who has entered into a secret understanding with certain enemies of the Negro race to scatter all kinds of damaging statements about the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so that the Negro people will not support it, then set up some other organization to win their support over which the enemies will preside, thus defeating the cause of an independent Negro race and a free Africa—a rabid Socialist, who doesn't believe in Negroes or any race having businesses of their own, but that the State should own everything.
A man who wants all Negroes to become anarchists and smash up all governments.
A newspaperman who tried to rob the Black Star Line of $600, but could not get away with it, and now turns against the organization.
A man so lazy and dishonest that he would accept a position and draw a salary without working for it.
A man who has robbed the poor people of the neighborhood by taking their money under the guise of protecting them.
E UNIVERSAL NEGRO ASSOCIATION
SERVE THE MORNING
A man who in Liberia got another man on his confidence to sign a blank check for him for a stated amount and then, in the immediate absence of the man, fills it in for a larger amount. This man was subsequently discredited and no one who knows would trust him afterwards, hence his non-connection with the organization
Such are some of the "Great Leaders" who are fighting against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey.
If race leadership must be bought at such a price, then you can make your selection.
THE SPIRIT OF A MAN AND A CAUSE
The spirit of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not to lead for monzy and what can be gotten, but for the good that can be done. What Garvey has done before he will do again for the good of the race.
Garvey laid the foundation for the "AFRICAN CAUSE" and the true emancipation of the race.
A few scheming Negroes are now trying to capitalize the Cause for profit. They lead for a living.
Marcus Garvey is not looking for position. He is not looking for a living. He has a profession which he studied thoroughly before he started his sacrifice for the race. How many of those who oppose Garvey have professions on which they can rely for a living?
Marcus Garvey would be glad if some real honest leader would spring up from the people to relieve him of some or all of the burden of handling such thieving and dishonest Negroes as have been put out of the organization, and as may appear from time to time.
Marcus Garvey would be glad to welcome some more real leaders to relieve him of some of his duties, so that he could take a vacation after working for the race night and day for seven years, without any diversion or rest.
Marcus Garvey would be glad to pass over his position and the salary he now gets to any honest leader who would lead the poor people and would not try to get rich at their expense.
Marcus Garvey is personally poorer now than when he started the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line, the Negro World, etc. Millions of dollars have passed through the organizations over which he exercises control, but he has no automobiles, he has no mansions, he has no big bank account. For 75 per cent. of what he has earned is invested in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line and other Negro enterprises for the good of the race.
MARCUS GARVEY WORKED FOR NOTHING
Marcus Garvey worked for the Universal Negro Improvement Association for five long years before he was ever given a penny by the Association. He was just two years ago voted a salary of $50 per week for the presidency of the Black Star Line; afterwards, for a few months, he received $100 per week for the same position, receiving no other salary. After the dishonest people and the crooks had done so much harm to the Black Star Line, Marcus Garvey refused to draw any salary, trying his best to help the great cause. He worked several months without salary once again, until the convention of 1920, when he was voted a salary as President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He split the salary in half and got paid for about nine months. The major portion of the salary he drew was reinvested in the Black Star Line and the U. N. I. A., for the good of our Cause.
Marcus Garvey has worked for nothing to serve the Negro race. He will at all times work for the Negro race irrespective of salary or personal gain. If there should ever come the time again when the race could not afford to pay its leaders for services, then Marcus Garvey shall be ready, even as he is now, to give his all, his money, his ability, his life for the Cause of Liberty.
So no one hurts Marcus Garvey by asking with and supporting his enemies; they hurt themselves. For Garvey is not working for himself as his enemies do, he is working for the cause of the people.
Ask the "so-called leaders" to do what Garvey has done, and see how many of them will be Negroes for a week.
Members of the Negro race, watch your pocketbooks for those who are making after them under the guise of race leadership. They call Garvey a Dictator. They call him "The Big I Am," but if Garvey doesn't kick some out, jail them, drive them out, escaped the resignations of others, and ignored them, there would have been no real Liberian organization today.

Lt is my opinion that there should not exist any
discrimination or segregation of any hind toward any
people or race. establishing classitwations among
them, based upun color or creed
All men should be judged from the standpotnt of
equahty, taking ito consideration at the swine ume
that it 1s ubhgatory on men and countries to lend @
sincere and determined hand of help to those men and
countries that are m need of development and prog:

For this reason I believe in the abolition of preyu-
dice that certan races have imposed upon other races,

THE POETIC CONTEST—HOW
THE WINNERS WERE SELECTED
Fen Ae PER petinsined Uy ander Chrisian tar

‘The fret prise was awarded to Mr
Charles H. Hate, of Montreal, Canada,
whoee poem, “The Child Is Found,” im-
pressed us as & Jewel of purest ray ee-
rene Its lightness of spirit, simplicity
of atyle, beauty of imagery and rhythm
of varse made It areal poam. Its acrial
flight of the imagination, its dolicate
sentiments, grace of style and music o!
verse made the reading of It » delight.
‘The Christmas sentiments expresso‘
in it constituted it @ real Chrismas
poem.
‘The second prize. was awarded te
June Dadd, whose poem, “Yuletide Dis-
armament,” we read and reresd with
pleasure, “Yuletide Disarmament,” by
June Dadd, was characterized by
thoughtfulness, appropriate Christmas
sentiments, almplicity of style and
rhythm of verse. Tha flow of vorse
carried the reader easily and naturally
along. But the poem was an Argument
splendidly set in veree, and there was
not quite enough appeal to the imag-
ination and the emotions to entitle
it to the Grst prise A story told
or an argument set to metre which
ryhmes well is poctry. But unless
there is a touch of the imagination it
is not postry of the highest class. As
Lucien Watkins says, to state that the
sun ahines te prose, but to say that It
siniles is poetry. Take those lines com-
posed either by Shakespeare or Keats,
“Moving waters at their priest-like
task, Of cold ablution on earth's human
shores.” It was years since we first
read those verees in an essay by Mat-
thew Arnold, yet there was something
about those lines that arrested atton-
tion and lingered in our memory Mark
the effect of the words, “Moving” and
“Prisst-like task.” “cold Ablation.” ete
Now the poem of June Dadd, with its
thought. sentiment and flowing vorse.
only needed a little more play of the
imagination, a striking phrase new
and then, to mako it poetic gem. As
it is, it is @ very readable poem. For
two houre it was seriously considored
for the first prise.
‘The third prise wae awarded to Mr
Thomas Millard Henry, of Asbury
Park, N. J., whose poem, “The Golden
Urse” ta characterised by suggestive
thoughts, beautiful Christmas senti-
Rients, felicity of phrase and rhythm

Another third prise was awarded to

Brilliant Ceremony at Panama Characterized by Thoughtful and Patriotic Speeches
Negroes on the Isthmus of Panama with never forget Sunda) November 20 1921 a day which will go down in the history of Panama as a great and glorious one a day that 2400 members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communal League eager a looked forward to.
All that had belonged to the Liberty Hall of the University chapter No. 4 of the L. L. and C. L. at the corner of F. and E. streets and other streets in Manhattan and from all directions of the city came and children wended their way toward Liberty Hall which was to be the scene of a great fire in the annals of the city and the property 44 acres long in chapter 4 granted to the chapter in honorable Marvin Carrion, the head of general of the organ station and the installation of the officers' elect. The hall was justly decorated for the occasion and from the outside one could see from a distance the color of the installation the red, the black and the green flaming from the flames while the decorations in the interior of the building were something beautiful to behold and will linger in the memories of those who were present. Hanging over the president's chair was a large silk flag of the nasal station which on the right was the national colors of names and on the left that of the United States together with flags of the various allied nations
Lung before the hour set for the opening of the function larger crowds began to assemble in the hall, and at 2 15 p.m. when the meeting was opened there were over 3000 men and women of the Norwegian assembled in the vast auditorium, in which was taxed its current spending capacity whilst hundreds had to be turned away) unable to obtain even standing room and were compelled to join the vast concourse downstairs which packed the sidowalks in some instances eight and ten deep.
A striking feature of this unique gathering was the picturesque note struck by the members of the Black Cross Nurses who in their white dresses with flowing vells on which the insignia of their organization was placed, reminded one of some ancient drud' festival when the vestal virgins led the stately processions in their sacrificial services. Their conduct was exemplary throughout the function, and on the whole there was a most appreciable body. In the musical reservation circle we were to see the Black Star Line Band the Lanaana Capital Band the Chorus in neatly robed and in heels to lead the whistle directly behind them and most pleasingly contouring with them were the members of the White and Blue Choral Union arranged in the face of the field. Healed and on the platform were the repertory seas from the Colon Division No 4 Commander Mitsis from the Salvation Army M H N Worland Editor of the Volunteer man together with the delegates from the various kindred societies in the city of Chennai.
The meeting was called to order at 2:15 precisely to Brother H. N Whitaker, chapman elect, when the professional home from Greenland in Jey Mountaina was sung by the congregation and their which was followed by prayer from his chapman. The Patron Saint Band then rendered the Patronian and Ethiopian National anthems after which the chapman read the evening's lesson, which was taken from Produs 40th chapter, verse 15. He then gave an address of admonition to the officers and invoked the blessing of the Almighty on their labora. A bum was then sung by the choir, after which Brother I. H Stevens delivered the address of welcome and introduced Brother J. I. Millington, chapman of the Colon Division No. 4, as the master of ceremonies. Bro. Stevens said.
Brother Stevens' Address
Followmen of the Negro Race—We officers and members of the U. N. L. A & A. C. L. are very glad to welcome you in our midst this evening. The long looked for day has arrived (oheera), and looking over this rostrum, viewing the brilliant faces of the ladies and gentlemen who are overcrowding Liberty Hall at this moment, has filled me with enthusiasm. This evening we are very glad that in spite of all that has transpired we are here at this most august moment a time that shall go down in the history of the Negro race. We are here this evening to allow you to see clearly that the Negro has struck out on a new era. A few years ago they would say that it would be highly impossible to have a gathering of this kind, but we as Negro people have been awakened from our dormant sleep and are moving forward unto the goal. It has been said that the Negro has never been on the initiative, but this evening we are setting it down on the pages of history that the Negro is on the scene. I don't feel like infringing upon your time, but it has been appointed to me to name to you a gentleman in our midst, or a brother if we should go further home, in whose hands shall be entrusted a very important part of this prentage program and one whom we believe you will learn to obey and to request, and I have the great pleasure
of calling upon Brother R F Millington chaplain of the Colon Division to be master of ceremonies
MR MILLINOTON 8 ADDRESS
brother MILLINOTON is replying to the last speaker said "Mr President officers ladies and gentlemen, also members of Chapter 14—it is with feelings or mild feelings, I would say that I stand before you this evening and my first feeling is that of appreciate and praise. Indeed, it has been to me a revelation to be here this afternoon and I go further and say that all my future life it shall be to me an inspiration. Little did I expect when asked upon by my president the president of the Colon Chartered Division who as you know is in very deep amusement with this chapter and represents a part of the work of the U.N.A.I.A.I. little did I expect that I would stand before such an audience as this this afternoon an audience of which Liberty Hall in the New York headquarters could not be ashamed. I go further and say that if ever there were anything wanting to make me have confidence in my race and to make me to believe that the Negroes on the Caribbean are coming into an united whole I say this evening a function in which will make me believe that this is possible. I am not here this afternoon so much to make a speech I am not very much of an orator I am as Mark Antony said in his oration over the body of Caesar, a plain bounty man who only speaks humble and you can rest assured. Mr President officers members and visiting friends that whatever comes from this evening by way of eulogy or that as far as it has gone I am indeed happy to be here. The first thing that impressed me was your enthusiasm. Enthusiasm that seems to overcome all difficulty, that will allow any obstacle and that is determined to surmount and overcome whatever may stand in its way in striving to reach the goal set down by his Excellency the Honorable Marcus Garvey Again let me say that as far as the Colon Chartered Division is concerned we are in deep sympathy with you, and the very fact that you see myself and the first lady vice-president of the Ladies' Division here this afternoon is proof of this. We have had no little difficulty in getting here, but we feel more than amply paid by the sea of forces the deep sympathy and the shower of appreciation which have been expressed to us when we first entered this hall I found that you have made strenuous efforts in order to approach and in order to heal that which has been broken in order to bring together and cement the bands of love which hitherto have not existed between the chartered division of this city, but I am persuaded that so far as I have discovered you have done your level best and that you intend still to do your level heat in order to heal the wounds that have been inflicted. (Cheora)
UNVEILING OF CHARTER
This unique and pretty ceremony, which was the "piece de resistance" of the evening, having been reached, silence fell over the audience. Miss V Niles then rendered a pretty retaliation, which was followed by a short address by Master W W Alvarez son of the first vice president, dressed in the uniform of a naval officer. Miss V Niles, together with Master Alvarez, then sang in unison a special composition entitled "Africa" composed by Brother B. Franklin Fraser and put to music by Brother Carl Elliot specially for the occasion, and at the words
Then may this Chart a unveiling teach
Then may this Chart a unveiling teach
To all assembled here that each
May strive to conquer and to rengh
Thee. Africa
the curtain which covered the charter
was parted amidst the uproarious
cheers and thunderous handclaps of
the vast concourse of people assembled in
the hall.
The charter was then taken out and
held before the audience for view, after
which Secretary-elect Smith then read
aloud the charter and the preamble to
the constitution setting forth the object
and aims of this worldwide organization which was formed by a Negro for Negroes. This being done, the chapter's choir rendered a beautiful anthem entitled "Sing Praise to God," which was well done and was the cause of loud applause from the audience.
This closed the first part of the program, and the chairman then announced that the installation of the officers would then take place.
INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS
This was a most impressive ceremony, and the members of the choir, robed in their clerical caps and gowns, marched up the long aisle led by General Mayers and his staff, together with the Admiral of the Iron Duke, while behind him were the officers to be installed. The chaplain, who was attired in his gown, was installed by the master of ceremonies, he in turn installing the officers, all of whom appeared in immaculate white attire, with the exception of the Male President, who were conventional evening dress, and the Lady President, who was attired in a charming creation of clinging black silk. During the installation of each of the officers the cha

tars chair rendered several songs which were very appropriate for the occasion. The office installed are as follows. J. E. Geddy, president; Charles A. Alvara, first vice-president; J. A. Conway, second vice-president; J. A. Baptista, third vice-president. Alfred O. Smith, executive secretary; John H. St. Louis, general secretary; B. C. Austin, associate secretary F. A. Sutherland, treasurer; R. C. Austin, associate secretary F. A. Sutherland, treasurer; R. M. Whitaker, chaplain, Mrs. Bridget A. Aird, lady president, Mrs. E. Niles, first vice-president, Mra. I. Browna, second vice-president, Mra. I. Henry, third vice-president, Miss Agna Clarke, secretary, Mrs. Florence Dinson, assistant treasurer, Messra R. Ward, C. A. Richards, C. Allen, A. Pittherbert and A. H. Jones trustees, while the Advisory Board consisted of Messra C. E. Lewis, A. C. Bishop, W. E. Craig, E. A. Squires, W. A. Rouse, R. T. Gittens, W. E. Joseph, C. O. Rocket, A. E. Charles, Charles Scott H. Poherby, E. Taylor H. Downes, James McPhun, James Phillips, S. L. Aird, H. Worrell, E. Bourne J. Ill. D. Morrita J. Alcee J. A. Bellarne B. McLean, and D. F. Cooper
The honor of welcoming the Lady President was given to Mrs. D F Richardson, the acting Lady President of the Colon Division, who in welcoming her said, "I have very much pleasure in welcoming you. It is a distinguished honor to be elected as Lady President of such a chapter as this. I must say a few words to you regarding your duty. As the Lady President of the Chartered Chapter No 14 I congratulate and remember it is your duty to shepherd the women of our race. It is indeed a very honorable position and I trust that you will not only look upon it as an honor, but also as a pleasure to serve this noble race of ours." At the conclusion of the installation of officers the choir rendered an anthem, which was highly appreciated by the audience.
President Gadsby's Address
Mr Chairman, Officers, Members and Friends of the Guachapall Chapter No. 14 I am indeed glad to be in your presence this evening. I now at this moment have to thank you for the shower of esteem you have overwhelmed me with I have to thank you very much for the amount of esteem you have showered down upon me in that you have made me president of this Guachapall Chapter No. 14 of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. I want to assure you that owing to the authority vested in me through the constitution I shall go forward to use the same, and not misuse it.
Gaxing, as I do, over this audience I am persuaded to ask you one question. What come ye out for to see? A read shaken by the wind, a man clothed in a long coat, or the beautiful faces of the gay ladies? I say no, these three things are not what you have come out to see. You have come to see, to hear, and to help carry on a grand enterprise—the unveiling of our chartan. An enterprise, I say, that has as its basis three great factors an enterprise that has benevolence, beneficence, and munificence. An enterprise started nine months and fourteen days ago, and today we stand second to none over the Caribbean waters.
I shall not weary you out any longer, but I am only asking you of that you be loyal, for I alone can do nothing. I want you to be loyal to the Honorable Marcus Garvey, who is the cause of this colossal movement. He is the one who has got the vilenom and I am saying that I want you to keep it up, and the longer you keep it up the more we shall be able to conquer. Again, I have to thank you very much for the amount of esteem you have showered down upon me. I have to thank the chaplain of the Colon Division No. 4 for the very valuable services he has performed here this evening, and I sincerely hope that he shall take back to his division the kind regards of the Guachapalh Chapter No. 14, and let them know that we are with them, and at every call we shall be with them until the muffled drums and calls shall beat their last tattoo. We mean to go on in this good work, and let me say it would be easier to stop the sun in its daily course, it would be easier to wear the aurora borealis as an evening gown, than to stop the onward march of this Guachapalh Chapter No. 14, and we shall go on from gay heights to giddier heights, and our eternal habitat shall be Africa. (Loud and prolonged cheers.)
The chairman commented on the brilliant address which was delivered by the president, and then called upon Mrs. Bridget E. Aird, the lady president, who also spoke.
The speaker was loudly applauded, and the chairman commented very strongly on her remarks. The next speaker was the acting lady president of the Colon Division, Mrs. Doris F. Richardson, who gave a very brilliant address.
The chairman then called upon the representatives of the Gambos Division No. 8 of the U N I A. and A C L. who also spoke.
The Panama Capital Band rendered a selection entitled "Holiness Becometh Thy House" and was followed by an address by Commander Morris of the Salvation Army who said in part as follows:
Com. Morris' Address
Mr President, Mr Chairman and I want to open my heart and say, my brothers and sisters, for as I stand here this afternoon I am a 100 per cent. Negro and indeed I am very glad to be here. I feel like saying the same thing as was once said of a speaker who in addressing an audience said before he began. I don't really know where to begin, and before he was finished he said, well I really don't know where to stop; but with all the smiles and with all the jokes and with all the pleasures there may be with us this afternoon to me, as far as I am concerned, this is a reality. If we were told two years ago that we could have arranged in such a manner to get such an energetic crowd together we

might have not believed it, but thanks be to God that we are here together this evening under our own vows and fig trees. We are here as a race, we are here as a people to encourage one another to stand by one another to get hands and hearts together and to push forward this grand cause with one God, one Alm, one Dearly. One object with God and our race soul. This is the Bible (holding a large Bible before the audience), and I am eager to see this book here. Others are books, but this is the book, and in costing here this afternoon I have one thought and I have gone through that book and found something that will help us. One question that was asked by Christ to the Apostle, and I refer to the Apostle Paul when Christ, in asking him the question said, "If God be for us who can be against self?" Dare what others may say or do wherever God is there is success, and as a Negro I feel that God is on my side, and wherever I meet it a boy of my race, a girl of my race, a bad of my race, a girl of my race, a bad of my race, a woman of my race, wherever I meet them and look upon them I have to say there is the image of God and since God is there, and since God is here, and since be is on our side we are going to achieve great things I want to speak to you about our children, the coming fathers of our race. We as the people fathers of our race for them, we must work for the education of our children to bring them up intelligently so that they can climb and be in a position to make us feel proud. We are here this afternoon listening to our own people rendering musical strains, looking at their many faces. We don't have to go to the other races to listen to their musical talent. We have our own. Continuing the speaker spoke about the great future that is in store for the Negro race and gave striking examples of great deeds done by Negroes and paid glowing tributes to the movement which was fostered by Honorable Marcus Garvey and concluded his address by saying, "May God bless this chartered chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 2,400 members strong, and may He cover your every effort with success and may we move on in that spirit until when time for us shall be no more we may be able to say like the great Admiral I have done my duty."
The speaker was given a ben. y applause from the audience. The next item was an address by Mr H. N. Wahrm, Editor of the Workman Printery, who said.
Mr. Walrand's Address
Mr President, Officers and members of the U N. I. A. Ladies and Gentlemen. It is indeed a great pleasure for me to be with you this afternoon. It is the first time that I have had the pleasure of being invited to any meeting of the U. N. I. A. since it has been established on the Isthmus of Panama. It is also a greater pleasure for me for the first time to have to speak to such a suspicious convoction of our race and I believe it is the first time such a gathering has ever come together for the race at any time on the Isthmus of Panama. As a newspaper man I have had to be very irritant; I have had to be aware of many things. There is another division in Panama under the auspices of the U N. I. A. I have watched them carefully. I have done what I could in their behalf and if I didn't do anything more it is because I didn't know anything more. Since you have invited me here this afternoon, and I am pleased with the invitation, I will be able in my own feeble way to do a great deal more for your organization. As newspaper man imagine many things. In fact, we create some things, but when we have facts and are able to sub-
existents there we are able to do a great deal more. I am pleased to be here and especially to an organization as the U. K. L. A. for the purpose of this organization is for the consolidation of the Nagra race. I am a Nagra and I great joy as Nagra like myself and I believe that every diminished Nagra and any Nagra with any principle should know that the Nagra race is able to stand together. The one and only principle of the Workman newspaper since it has been established to for the consolidation of the Nagra race. I have not been able to do much in the past because the race was not what it is today. There has been a sudden awakening and it has been only in a year or so. That coming together has started to consolidate our race and I want to tell you this evening that I am one of you and will ever be one of you. A special feature of the evening's program was a miniature ship which was built by Brother William Crichlew, a member of the chapter, which was placed on exhibition in the hall. There were several representatives from the various fraternal societies present who gave short addresses which were very appropriate.
Yesterday the residents of this city from early morning were anxiously awaiting the arrival of 3.20 p.m. when the contest between Fitz Moore, the Negro champion, native of Barbados, British West India, and Snowy McKoy, the white champion, palefive of Australia, would take place. As some fake fights were going the round locally, the people did not take too seriously the grand occasion. However, at 3.20 the preliminaries began to show to the not too limited crowd which gathered in the theatre - Dalon de las Quintas - what the evening would be like, and at about 4.20 p.m. the champions graced the ring with their pleasant salute and agile strides. Immediately after everything had been arranged the blew blew and the two opponents faced each other with as pleasant a face as ever could be desired, and the ten-round contest was commenced. In the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth and seventh rounds the wrist, but in the eighth round the same was changed as the white man was shown the floor by the Negro man landing a swift blow to the right jugular. After a few counts the white man was on his feet again. In the ninth round the fighting produced an entirely new aspect, when the Negro seemed to believe that they had shown sufficient art, and then brought the fight to an absolute close by landing a final left to the right jugular, which laid the white man low, and he remained on the floor until the refreshes. Mr. R. H. McRae, very timely counted him out. Both man showed grunt skill in the art and every one in the ring, the majority being white, was extremely satisfied. It was one of the most enjoyable evenings for the people of Barranquilla, as they never before saw a real and legitimate boxing contest in this city. We expect to have several more of this sort soon.
In everything now-a-days and in every part of the world the Negroes seem to be ready to show what they can and will do.
A concert was given in the Town Hall at Falmouth on the 11th inst. under the auspices of the U. N. L. A. Mr. A. Stewart presided. The gifting began with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by a prayer. The chairman in an able manner then introduced Mr. O'Meally, the commissioner, who, he said, would tell them of the aims and objects of the society. The commissioner then delivered an animated and inspiring address. He said in part that the aims of the association were to make a better type of Negroes, to lift them up from the low, degraded position in which they had fallen and to instil racial pride and love.
The association aimed at unity, few in unity there was strength, and progress would follow. The chairman, in raising to thank the commissioner, said Mr. O'Meally had spoken some things which were true of his race and which only a. Negro could express without giving offense to other Negroes.

Dear Sir! - We, the undersigned, be
merited by your worthy organization,
stockholders in the Black Star
Line Corp. and also students in the
science of Chiropractic at the Coam-
politan College of Chiropractic the only
Chiropractic College in Harlem or "uptown," wish to voice our protest to the article appearing in The Negro World of December 10 under signature of Mr Hubert H Harrison
In Mr Harrison's article he misleads
the members of our Association and
the readers of our paper by stating that the "Chiropractic College in Harlem" is not properly teaching its students that it is a school of segregation and that it is a school of quackery.
We, who are students in the institution in question, are better able to judge these points than is Mr Harrison, whose knowledge of the college was obtained while delivering a series of twelve lectures in embryology, which he delivered to the freshman class.
The students of the Cosmopolitan College of Chiropractic unite to challenge ANY student of ANY Chiropractic institution in the world to prove in open competition by any means they choose that they are not as well trained as are the student of the Cosmopolitan College of Chiropractic Your obedient servants.

"SAFETY FIRST!"
Our colleague and friend, John Edward Bruce, often tells us that when you throw a stone down a dark alley at certain scuffling creatures you can always tell which one is hit by noting which one yelps. And so the reply of Mr. Phillips and Co. to the article, "Chiropractic Good and Bad" is a trifle amusing. Why should Mr. Phillips and Co. wear the cap—unless they found that it fitted them? In our last week's article we said:
The chiropractic must know stress muscle nerve, bone and organ in the human body. He must be a thorough and competent student of anatomy, physiology and diagnosis. For Chiropractic is not a feast. It is often better than medicine, and he would practice it should have a preparation at least as through, if not as long, as that of the medical doctor. Therefore, the various chiropractic problems are giving their pupils through training. That is as it should be.
No one should object to having a school of Chiropractic in Harlem to which Negro students can go to learn this noble art—even though a branch may have established it here to keep them from thrusting their black, brown and yellow faces into its white classrooms. No one should have a private purpose, openly admitted, be to coin money from the Negro neighborhood.
But IF we find such a school pretending to give instruction which is not genuine, leave students with only a muddle of ignorant jargon rather than a knowledge of the human body; IF we see students of nine months standing who don't know what the school is teaching, the heart work; IF, in defiance of public safety, we see such students taking patients for "adjustment" and hear them openly boaring of the sexual advantage to them of handling women's bodies—then we should proclaim to the public that such quack institutions are a menace to health and a disgrace both to the art of teaching and to Chiropractic.
Now, it seems to us that those who do not feel guilty would go on their way (since no one was named) and say: "He didn't mean me." But Mr. Phillips and Co. seem to purl up and say: "He MUST mean me." It is they and not I who are telling the people that the description fits them. And IF that is so, what is the good of trying to hide behind the name of the U. M. L. A. Dr. Gordon, Dr. Breckin, Professor Buch and Mr. George were all members of the U. N. L. A. But did that guarantee their correctness? Ask the officers and numbers. And if these good folk are been on the U. N. L. A. why don't they use their influence to ensure that the U. N. L. A.'s paper gets paid for the advertisements which it carried? That would really prove their interest.
If Mr. Phillips will stop long enough to read the syllabus of his college he will find eight biographies of members of the faculty, and under the seventh he will find the name "Prof. Harrison." And on the page opposite he will find "Hubert H. Harrison. R. So. Professor of Entomology." It is generally conceded that a "professor" however ignorant, is a better judge of the quality of the curriculum and teaching than any number of more students, however enthusiastic. Hilda's words of last week have no application to any group of students when the cap doesn't fit.
14. regards to the big and beautiful claims that were put in the mouths of Mr. Phillips and Co. I choose to call their trust. Let Mr. Phillips select himself and Shea. Rabb and Sister and Sibby. We Mr. The Sibby of the Negro Wizard on Wednesday, December 14 at 8 p.m. I will bring three colored unmounted stuids from Downtown schools at Chiropractic. We will have two compounds of anatomy and physiology from Czech stuids questions will be appended by and over, and most 14 does not appear since Mr. Phillips brings is greatly interested in these stuids in competition with the other groups I will gradually publish them, which I hope to show.
think I have said and pay for a dinner for the seven of us. If time and place do not suit Mr Phillips, let him select his own time and place, but it must be in Harlem and before December 31 Mr Phillips should "put up or shut up" The decision will be left to Professor Ferris, whom we will presume to be unblamed, and the results will be published in The Negro World. And since Mr Phillips forces the pace, may I not call his attention to the fact that the Mr Smith who has just jumped his ball in the unavoyable case of the 18-year McAllister girl is a student at Mr Phillips school? That student was "precising" although he has not graduated and hasn't the necessary knowledge, which proves my point that to let such students practice is a grave public danger—especially to women. Doubtless that student would have also signed the empty boast subcribed by Mr Phillips and Co. if he hadn't been compelled to fly from justice.
Personally I feel no unfriendlessness toward Mr Phillips or any of his colleagues, yet I think that his unprovoked protest would have been a bit more seemly had it come from some of his more competent fellow-students like Mrs Butler, Mrs. Dabney Mr Chubb, or Mr Vivea. Then, too, a strict regard for truthfulness would have led him to investigate the assertion of some of his fellow-signers that they were stockholders in the Black Star Line. Had he done so he would have found that some of them—for instance, Measra. Cummings and Anderson—were "just pretending" But even if they all were, the facts would still remain, and would still constitute a menace to public health and safety.
In any case, it is to be hoped that Mr. Phillips and Co. have demanded a public competitive test, will not now dodge that test, as that would leave a nasty taste in the public's mouth. I restrict the test to the persons who signed, because it is they who gave the challenge, and the readers of the Negro World will expect them to make it good.
I took up this matter only in the people's intest and, here or elsewhere, I shall pursue it until it becomes impossible for green and ignorant students who have not yet graduated to fool with the public's health. And I repeat that chiropractic is a noble branch of the art of healing, therefore KEEP IT CLEAN! H. H.
On Sunday, October 30, at Sons of Protection Hall, Kansas City, under the auspices of the 123th Kansas (Sunflower) Division, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis was met with cheers and a rousing welcome. She was introduced by the Hon. Deputy Florida L. Jenkins, after which the afternoon was immediately conceded in her behalf, and immediately she began an onslaught of brilliant oratory, reproving, exhorting, and counseling, which bespoke wisdom, amid tumultuous cheering and applause by the audience, which was spalbound at the close.
The financial secretary, Wm. Flewesign, introduced Levent Uria Gittens. First New York U. A. L., who appeared in full uniform, and truly he has heard the clarion call of the awakened masses of his people, and has responded with great alacrity.
Lieut. Gittens gave a rousing patriotic address, and also ably defended the Black Star Corporation, the integrity of its officers, their objective aim, and mistakes. He endeavored to place before the members that no great institution or corporation is absolutely proof against mistakes, neither is this great corporation, but nevertheless will go on regardless of such.

Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis esorted by Lieut. Gittens. The Black Cross nurses were out in uniform and the whole affair was a complete success.
The following week of November 7 Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and Lieut. Gittens carried the fight to Rosedale, a suburb of Kansas City thence to Kansas City Mo at Lyrte Hall, amid rousing cheers and thunderous applause.
Back into Kansas City, Kan., Sunday, November 13, at Knights Tabor Hall the Legion was there headed by the indomitable leader, Capt. F. E. Raymond, also the untiring, hospitable and valiant Black Cross nurse. The meeting was a financial success and the hall was overflowing with an attentive audience.

The question of today is not seeking the influence of or alliance with any particular party (political or race) in other words, begging someone else to do for us what we must do for ourselves. In the name of Jesus let us be men! Start today! Quit being sat led as petitioners, a political form of beggary especially when it carries no force behind it. Are you not tired of being serse of the world? Let us make commercialism a possibility between Africa and other countries for our solves. Build a nation and at last redeem Africa!

LADY HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS AND HER ESCORT CAPTURES SOUTH AND SOUTHWESTERN STATES BY THEIR ELOQUENCE
We left New York October 22 for Kansas City, Kana, over the Pennsylvanian route. We had a long and tireome ride of two days and two nights arriving at Kansas City Mo October 30, along with the foreign delegates from all the foreign countries, who had come to America to attend the Disarmament Conference but were on their way now to attend the convention of the American Legion held in Kansas City in their honor and to take part in the parade. Among those present were Marshal Poch, of France General Jacques, of Belgium the Italian representative, and the American representative, who had arrived to take his place with the delegates. On this train were Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and her escort, Lieut. Ursula Gittens representing the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Commanders League and the Universal African Legions.
All these representatives arrived at Kansas City Mo. at the same time. The station and city was elaborately decorated to suit the occasion. The crowd was so great it was hard to find your way to the street Admiral Beauty Prent Lord of the Admiralty of Great Britain, and his staff arrived two days later. The parade, which lasted three days, was the biggest of the kind ever held in Kansas. Lady Davis and her escort Lieut Uriah Gittens, left the station to the strains of music rendered by the hand of the American Legion to be the guests of Division No 128 N I A. and A C I. L. of Kansas City Kansas whose secretary Mr Llewilyn was on hand to receive us and was identified in this large crowd by the badge of the organization (the button). We were taken to our respective stopping places, Miss Davis to the home of Mr and Mrs George S. Stewart 720 North 13th street, and Uriah Gittens to the home of Mr and Mrs Pointer, 844 Freeman avenue. We began our series of meetings on Sunday, October 30 at 3 p. m. with a large

and enthusiastic crowd, presided over by its president, Mr James Moore, with dignity. Our meetings continued for two weeks, with large crowds every night. Our work was successful from start to finish. Some of the wealthiest Negroes of the city visited our meeting and a good number joined.
Lady Davis and Lieut Gittens also organized the Universal American Legion and Black Cross nurses of the division, putting everybody in a spirit of onward march. Lady Davis and Lieut Gittens were entertained by the ladies of the Black Cross nurses on two occasions, and Lady Davis was also entertained by the ladies of the Alpha Club Kansas City Kana.
Our departure from Kansas City Kana was very much regretted as everybody wanted us to remain longer in their midst, so enthusiastic were they over the aims and objects of the L I N A and A C L, as explained by Lady Davis and her escort, Lieut Lieut Littella.
