The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro The Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race "ALL PEOPLES HAVE HAD TO MEET OPPOSITION," SAYS PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF AFRICA VOL. XII. No. 4 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: We are now facing the period of racial test, as it were, passing through the fire of opposition, the result of which will mean our standardization among the other races of the world or our complete defeat. Egyptian Independence—Its Significance! All peoples, as well as nations, that have risen to greatness have had first of all to meet the opposition of those who would enslave them to their will. Just at this time many of the oppressed peoples and nations have risen into the glorious atmosphere of liberty. The last among them to reach that point of development is Egypt. After a struggle of many decades the people of that little country are now about to receive their freedom from the hands of their oppressors. All this has been the result of their being able to withstand the test of opposition as hurled against them. We, like the Egyptians, are now being tested out; whether we will survive or not depends upon our manhood of attitude. The Battle of Freedom! The Universal Negro Improvement Association feels that we must survive as a people, therefore this organization is fighting toward an end. The battering rams of destruction have been hurled against us from every angle, but today this great world-wide movement may above everything, every obstacle, every barrier, every embarrassment, and more and more we become convinced that this race of ours shall continue to rise until Africa is declared completely free. The work of the Irish took them seven hundred and fifty years, the work of the Egyptians took them several decades. Our work is just started, five hundred years, two hundred years, one hundred or fifty years, we small courageously fight the battle until victory perches on our banners. A Stalwart Spirit! I am indeed pleased to see the stalwart spirit manifested and maintained throughout the entire world in upholding the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our enemies think that we would have slackened in our propaganda, that we would have fallen down in our effort of achievement, but they are to be disappointed. Never was the Negro more determined than today; never was the Universal Negro Improvement Association in a better position to fight the battle for Africa's redemption and the emancipation of four hundred million Negroes of the world than today. Our movement has passed the acid test, and it is a foregone conclusion that we shall continue to grow until we encompass every man, woman and child of the four hundred million. The standard of the Red, the Black and the Green is now being unfurled to the breeze of liberty. The cry goes up everywhere, "We shall be free," and the cry re-echoes until it reaches the remotest ends of the world. Men in Africa, men in Europe, in Asia, in the West Indies, in South and Central America, in North America, are all responding to the great cry of freedom. We are not disappointed in the least, because we can rely upon the determination of our men and women everywhere to see the program through. Nothing in this wide world shall discourage us, because we have made up our minds to do or die. Concentration of Effort When we contemplate the grander achievement of man in ages past, and even of today, we take hope that we can by our own efforts achieve greatness. We have before us splendid examples of the many racial and national achievements brought about by concentration of effort on the part of other oppressed peoples. Our program may be started late, nevertheless we have enough confidence in ourselves, we have enough faith, that will ultimately strengthen us in the mighty task that we have undertaken. A Command to Organize There are some of us who feel that because of the highly organized state of the world we cannot do anything of ourselves, but there are still others who have that much faith and confidence that with the strength of our own purpose, with the determination of our own minds, we can contribute much to this world's civilization, equaling that which others have done. We who lead this great world movement have planned the course by which we shall steer the race into its own destiny. Those of you who are followers will do your part by obediently obeying the commands that are given. We command you at this time to get together, to unite your forces everywhere, so that as one mighty whole we can march on, fearing no foe, conquering as we go, until we have really and truly freed ourselves and established a nation that shall be ours forever. The Coming Convention Nationhood is the highest ideal of all peoples, others have struggled and have died for it; our struggle starts now. When we contemplate the NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 IVE HAD TO MEET VISIONAL PRESIDI THE PERIOD OF RACIAL TEST—THE NEGRO WILL TRIUMPH AMIDST FIRE OF OPPOSI- TION—FOUR HUNDRED MILLION NEGROES SHALL FREE THEMSELVES—THE WORK OF THE IRISH TOOK SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS—NEGROES CAN DO IT NOW sacrifice, the sufferings of others who have become martyrs to their race and nation, we will not in any way lose courage, lose hope, because we also must make sacrifices, we also must prepare ourselves to die that the race and nation and posterity of our own can be free. We have through this mighty movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association stimulated enough patriotism in our people to make it possible to work out a definite program. This program we want to further decide at our convention, to assemble in New York from the 1st to the 31st of August of the present year. Therefore we invite every community of Negroes to send representatives to this great conclave, so that through the combined intelligence of the world we may be able to formulate and put into execution that final program that will bring us salvation. We are planning to discuss the bigger international and racial questions at this forthcoming conclave. Naturally, therefore, we will expect the bigger minds of our race to seize this opportunity of linking up with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to help in putting through the things we so much desire. An Open Invitation to All In the past it has been said that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been the most successful of all associations. This ever-body Invitation be future, because from the very frequency of this movement we extended an open invitation to each and everyone of the race to join and to help us put over the program; but as in all reform movements those who were best able to lead were not disposed to do so. They had no confidence in the people, no confidence in themselves; but now that the people have spoken by solidly uniting themselves into this great movement, there can be no excuse on the part of our prepared men for not coming forward, and especially at this forthcoming convention, and contributing of their ability to the making of this mighty race and nation of ours. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, as everybody knows, is not an individualistic movement. It is founded for the purpose of doing the greatest good to the greatest number, at least for the emancipating and protecting of each and every Negro in the world. Therefore, no one individual, or no select company of individuals, can lay claim to any superior authority in this movement; all of us, whether we be ordinary intelligent men, intellectuals or even unfortunate illiterates, all of us have a common destiny through the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; therefore all of us should link our hands and hearts and work together for the common good. The Crying Need of the Hour! Now, more than ever, we need leadership, leadership of the serious, well prepared kind, the leadership that will think ahead of the people; such a leadership as David Lloyd George gives to the Anglo-Saxon race, as Baron Kato gives to the Japanese race, as Briand gives to the great, French race, and as Hughes gives to America. The crying need of the Negro is for higher statemanship, men who will rise above petty jealousies and their likes and dislikes, men who will always place before them, first of all, the good of the people, rather than their own personal affairs. We must train ourselves as leaders to see and know that the people should have our first consideration, because upon and through them depends the making of the nation. The Dream of an African Empire As the people move, so goes the cause. Today, through the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, four hundred million Negroes are moving toward the founding of a great African nation, toward the emancipating of themselves, industrially, commercially, socially and religiously. These people shall not perish in their hope, because those of us who lead will point the way through our own vision. It is said where there is no vision, the people perish; hence, it is for us leaders to reflect around and through us the vision of great things; the greatest of them should be the founding of a nation. All peoples are clamoring and striking for nationhood, some who so desire freedom of action are not in numbers more than a couple of million souls; this race of ours stands in the matter of numbers second to none in the world. Why should not we, therefore, have a nation? Those of us who are working for the realization of it may be regarded as long-dreamers, but such are the dreams that have made many a nation great among the people. It was the dream of George Washington that made America a great nation, a mighty republic; it was the dream of Bismarck that made Germany a mighty empire; it was the dream of Garibaldi that lifted Italy to the position of a great nation; it was the dream of William Pitt that made the expansion of the British Empire a reality; the dream that we have today will in a similar manner come true if the dreamers will but carry out in its truest fulfillment the object behind the dream. As for me, the dream of a free Africa and an emancipated race has become a visible object. I work for it; I go toward it; it is the all-absorbing thought and purpose of my life. If all of us will say the same thing, will work for the same thing and at the same time, there is absolutely no reason in the world why Negroes cannot accomplish what others have done under and through similar circumstances. Let the scattered members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association work the harder for the accomplishing of our great work. Now that we know that forces have been organized against us we shall expect but very little encouragement from without; we shall work from within to convert those with whom we come in contact everywhere. Four hundred million men and women must be drawn into the fold of this great movement. If means that you and I will have to work a little harder. We must talk the program of this movement to everybody we come in contact with. Our duty should be to make converts every day, not only one or two, but hundreds of them, so that in the course of time we will be able to reach the millions yet untouched by the propaganda of our organization. Let Us Prepare Officers and members shall work together now more than ever, for the fight is on, the opposition is keen, and if we must survive we must do so by unity of effort, unity of action. Again I say that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is at its strongest point, but there is much more work to be done, and you and I must do it. No slacking off, no putting over until tomorrow; whatever is to be done must be done now. Let us prepare, then, for the big day that is to come, the opening of our convention in August. Let us work that the We shall be expecting great results from our forthcoming Third international Convention. We shall be expecting to make demands and have them fulfilled. You must get behind the demands, not as four or five million people, but as a race, four hundred million strong, and this can only be done by a more perfect organization. Every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should make up his and her mind to enroll at least one hundred new members in the movement between now and August 1. Let this be your work, pledge yourselves individually wheresoever you are, that you will make one hundred new members for this great movement, between now and August 1, 1922. Make a pledge that you will convey the aims and its of our movement to each and every person in your neighborhood, in your district, in your town, or in your city. If you promise to do this, and fulfill it it will mean that within another few months our membership will be increased by leaps and bounds and the work that some thought could not be done will become much easier than it would appear. The Task of the Hour! You will understand, men and women, that Africa can be won, the race can be emancipated in just a short while, as well as not for years and centuries to come. All depends on how quickly you will get together. If you get together in the next twenty-four hours Africa is redeemed. If you want for another century to get together, then it will take all that time to liberate the land that you love. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are working to get together now. Now is the opportune time. Now is the time of world reorganization, of world readjustment. All peoples are seeking the rights and privileges you seek, so go forth, onward and upward, and take your place among all the well-organized races and nations of the world. The time will come, as I do see it, when you and I will be held in respect by all the other races, but it means that some work must be done now to lift ourselves from our unfortunate economic and political condition to that higher standard of human appreciation which will bring you the respect of all mankind. I appeal for your moral and financial support to this great cause. A special appeal is now made to all divisions to send in according to the constitutional laws your monthly reports without delay. Members are invited to see that their officers do everything possible to fight the common enemy. The division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that fails to make its report on time is but aiding and sheltering the enemy to embarrass the great cause. Those who are not members of our movement but who are members of the race will help us by contributing financially to the war. EYES OF ENTIRE WORLD FOCUSED UPON THE NEGRO, NOW UNDER INFLUENCE OF U. N. I. A., AND STIMULATED BY WORLD-W.DE PROGRAMME FOR RACE'S UPLIFT, SAYS REV. J. H. EASON, AMERICAN LEADER, ON RETURNING FROM TOUR OF COUNTRY Liberty Hall, New York, Sunday Evening, March 4, 1922.—Crowd poured into Liberty Hall tonight and spontaneously cheered and greeted with the wildest enthusiasm every re- ference made to the Hon. Marcus Gar- vey, leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Presi- dent General himself was absent, yet his influence was felt even more than when he is present, such is the una- bated confidence in this leader of lead- ers on the part of his ardent supporters and followers, and their admiration of those singular qualities of leadership that have made him the outstanding spokesman of the Negro race. Philadelphia and Sherri Schofield down the aristocratic Hyperion city, to be who, nace of a child of Why men go they have made asses Mayflower the Pilgrim Rock, al- pared with The Rev. Dr. J. H. Eason, the American leader, was the chief speaker of the evening, and was given a hearty ovation. He had just returned from Nashville, Tenn., upon finishing an extended tour of the country in the South, West and East. His address was contemporaneous, yet was delivered with that warmth of feeling and that inspiring eloquence characteristic of him, arousing the audience at times to unusual displays of enthusiasm. He said that in his travels he found that the interest exhibited by colored people everywhere in the Universal Negro Improvement Association is greater than ever, due in large measure to the publicity given to the recent attempts to persecute its leader. He referred to the early strivings of the association, his uniting himself with the movement at that time, and the great advance it had made. He said it was born of the black man's endeavors and yearnings and aspirations for complete industrial, political and economic freedom. He mentioned that he had from early boyhood been taught to respect Negro leadership, that his father was the first leader in the Sunday school and the leader of his class, or class leader, as it is termed in the Methodist church. Then came a Negro presiding then a Negro professor in a Negro college, then a Negro bishop of the Negro church, and last, the greatest of them all, the world's wonder and mighty organizer, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, "whom I will follow until Jehovah himself summons me to the great beyond, and for infilling whose teachings I have absolutely no apology to make to live living man." Other speakers were Prof. Wm. H. Furrie, Assistant, President. General, who occupied the chair, Mr. G. E. Carr, Assistant, for Mr. Grynkowski, Hon. Dr. Pattison, Assistant Secretary General and Miss A. L. Waltler, Miss Waltler, Dr. Emanu, had not been in Lbkshire Hall for many months. She was certainly received and applauded frequently during her address, in which she spoke with much earnest force and given in full in another column of this paper, and will be found worth-while, inspiring reading matter. Mr. H. V. Plummer, Director of Publicity, read an extract from a Pittsburgh paper containing comments from a New York colored weekly, in which it spoke of Garvay's unusual character as a man and the great power and scope of his work. Another extract which Mr. Plummer read declared that were Marcus Garvay's plans to fail, it would shake the confidence of Negroes in their race, and tend to destroy its weakened intelligence. These comments shed much light upon the fact that even Mr. Garvay's enemies, or those who disagree with his views, concede he is doing a wonderful work for the race, and that his power and influence as a leader is greater than that of any other Negro today. One of the speakers referred to the coming of Marous Garvoy as the Heaven-sent answer to the cry of the colored people, "God, give us a man." Another reviewed conditions as existing among Negroes "before God gave him to us" and since, and told how changed and improved is the mind and thought of the Negro since the advent of the great leader. All spoke of the improvement as the greatest boon of the age to the Negro, these declarations being received with outbursts of approval by the audience. A brief but entertaining program of music was rendered preliminary to the speeches making. In this connection an announcement was made that a special musical concert would be given fortnightly, in Liberty Hall beginning Thursday evening, March 9th, by the Black Star Line band, under the auspices of the New York Local of the U. N. L. A., Special talent will appear at these concerts. Prof. Wm. Iris, the director, will be spared to make the programs of exceptional interest to everyone at attack. Philadelphia, when Generalis Sherman and Sheridan and Terry and Admiral Schofield were cheered as they rode down the line, and, lastly, when the aristocrats of New Haven packed the Hyperion, the greatest theatre of that city, to hear Frederick Douglas, a Nogro, who rose from slavery to the pinnacle of fame. Why is it, he asked, that some men go down in history? It is because they have a big idea or a big achievement associated with their names. The Mayflower, which 302 years ago carried the Pilgrims from England to Plymouth Rock, although a small boat as compared with the Lusitania and Titanic lives in history because of the ideas that was associated with it. The Yarmouth, whichailed out of New York harbor two years ago last November, although a small boat and by no means a modern boat, has gone down in history because there was an idea connected with it. The launching of that boat represented, embodied and personified the aliened spirit of a struggling race. "In the past," continued the speaker, "leaders of the race were satisfied to make eloquent and philospheric speeches, but after twenty-five years of that eloquence and philosophy nothing practical had been realized, and it was because the Universal Negro Improvement Association has not only philosophy and eloquence behind it but the spirit to do and dare and strive and achieve, to get power in the economic world, to develop a continent and build up industries that will give the Negro material resources with which he can fight his way to recogition—those are the things that have caused the world to look upon the U N I A as it has never looked upon any other organization. Other organizations have had scholars and philosophers and poets and orators, but in the U N I A. is found that spirit of achievement, that "searls it do and" build which has made other races—when made Ethiopia and Egypt in the days of antiquity and which will make the new Negro. Last week, Prof Ferris continued, he looked over the photographs of the old Egyptian kings and queens and saw them with their thick lips and their flat noses, and he said that if three or four thousand years ago black men could rise to such dazzling heights of achievement—if they could erect the Pyramids, the Sphinx and other famous landmarks which have gone down in history, who cannot blue men in the twentieth century with the world's achievements in science, industry and art at their command, not go forward, put over achievements and give the race that standing by which it will receive the respect and admiration of the world? ASSISTANT SECRETARY GENERAL SPEAKS The Hon. R. L. Poston, 2nd assistant secretary general, spoke upon the topic, referring to Mr. Garvey, "Since he came and God gave him to us and since before God gave him to us and since it was a very practical talk showing, as it did, the state of mind and general condition of the Negro prior to the advent of Mr. Garvey's leadership, and the Negro's position today in the world. Among other things Mr. Poston said: Before Mr. Garvey came, our girl, as you know, were not as hopeful as they are today. They seemed to have had the attitude that it doesn't matter But since he came they seem to take a greater pride in themselves and in life, and the men seem to pay to them that honor and reverence that is due them. In short, the whole outlook of life is different for our women since he came, or since God gave him to us. You know, that before he came we did not think of large things industrially. Then we thought only of doing business in a small way. But since he came we are thinking of owning ships and sailing the seven seas, doing business of our kind, and pressing the world with our commercial strength. Here the speaker alluded to the large shipment of a carload of yams (sweet potatoes) and a large quantity of syrup that the Department of Labor and Industry had received last week and had disposed of to members of the organization in this city and vicinity. "When I saw those potatoes and saw that syrup, the thought came to my mind that colored hands raised that syrup and grew those potatoes. They have been shipped to us by colored hands and they are being sold by colored hands, and a deal of them consumed by colored people. The entire money exchanged in the transaction is right the same as the money the hands change into potatoes and that syrup we are furnishing work for colored men down South to raise more potatoes and more syrup; that the money is all kept right within our own group, and that I think is a solandl thing. Since he came we have discovered that it does not matter what our compa- sion may be, whether a high yellow, or a seabrown brown, or a velvet black; that so long as we are in the race and we have a drop of Negro blood in our veins, we belong to the Negro race, and are subject to the same limitations, have a common goal and should con- sequently unite our strength with others in riding ourselves of the common restraints. Once upon a time I had a queer gottown about God—that is before our great leader came. I had many mis- gledges about the Supreme Dame, when I thought of the position. He al- lowed me to be his creature, to attain harm, and since I have, cleverly, my emotional about God, have undergone a marginal change and today I have upon THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 Negroes Planning to Build Nation of Their Own and Establish Their Rightful Place in the Sun, Under the Banner of Red, Black and Green MOVEMENT FINAL SEQUENCE OF BLACK MAN'S ENDEAVORS, YEARNINGS AND AS-PIRATIONS FOR COMPLETE INDUSTRIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC FREE-DOM—LOYALTY TO GOD, AS WELL AS LOYALTY TO LEADER, ESSENTIAL TO PUT OVER PROGRAMME — GARVEY ACCLAIMED HEAVEN-SENT IN ANSWER TO CRY OF PEOPLE, "GOD, GIVE US A MAN" CROWDS GATHER AT MECCA OF NEGRO LIBERTY AND CHEER SPEAKERS—PROCLAIM GARVEY MOVEMENT GREATEST BOON OF THE AGE TO THE NEGRO—SPONTANEOUS ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED AT EVERY MENTION OF LEADER'S NAME—THE IDOL OF THE MASSES, AND OBJECT OF UNIVERSAL COMMENT, HIS INFLUENCE AND POWER NOW FELT STRONGER THAN EVER ing to do by me if I am willing to do by Him "In conclusion" said Mr. Poulson "since the world gave us Marcus Garvey, we as a race have more hope in the world, we have more love for each other and more unity in our hearts, and when the enemies of this great leader attempt to ridicule him and speak against him you must think of what I have said and speak in his defense" (Applause) Misa A. L. Waitea Speake Miss A. L. Waites was next introduced, Professor Ferris pointing out that two years ago last October, when the President general went on a two weeks tour and left Liberty Hall in charge, it Miss Waites and Dr. Eason who commanded and did great work at that time in helping put over the program then of the U. N. L. A. Miss Waites' address follows: Honorable Assistant President General, Honorable American Leader of Negroes, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is a pleasure for me to be present tonight and to say just a few words to you, because I am anxiously interested in all you do. Whatever your success is, is my success, and whatever your failure, it is my fathter; for we cannot get away from each other. (Annalisa.) One of the things I want to impress upon you tonight is that four years ago, as I went into a little hall and was talking with the loader of this organization, addressing perhaps just fifty men and women, he said: "Miss Wales, if the people will just let me go; for I want to put over a world program." To this I replied that I would help him put over that program, and the thing that has helped you to go so far and to put over a part of that program has been the infinite, the divine wisdom of Almighty God I say to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that you not only are following Mr. Garvey, Mr. Garvey's voice has been the voice of God, and the voice of God is the voice of the people. (Applause.) If there ever was a time in the history of the world when all the people of the world should be interested in the follow who is down, in the man and the woman whom the world is trying to keep down, that time is now. The thing that will put this program over will be your loyalty not only to the man who is the leader of the movement, but your loyalty also to your Maker, your loyalty to God, for if we would say, in the language of the poet—first of all— To thine own self be true. And it must follow, as night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. and if we would carry this out in practice we would have nothing to fear. Let no man or woman of this organization be brought forward as a betrayer of the race; let no man or woman go out from this hall discouraged. This is no time for discouragement it is not a hour for disdain ("No!") and stars roll in their cookies and the universal mind of God operates over the universe, there can be no disappointment. (Applause.) I want to impress upon you again that as the mountains are around, about Jerusalem so is God around about his people. (Applause.) Think not of your poverty, but think of the millions of dollars which God will give us to run and continue this organisation. Think not of the poverty of your present condition, but think of the diamonds in Africa, and that if we will but hold out that field will one day be cured. (Applause.) I want to urge upon you to stand up like men and women; read the papers as I do, and turn a deaf ear to that which is not right. Stand closer together, and multiply your interest in this grand and wonderful movement of cura. If you have any prayers to give, give them in behalf of your leader—the leader of the race. If you have any good will to give, let it run from your heart as the waters of the great sea run into the mighty deep. I want to urge upon you young men who have come to this country, take out your citizenship papers and fight for your part in this government. Don't discourage anybody; it is to time for that. Every race is alive today, fighting and struggling for its rightful place in the world. We are only one in the great, nothing but. Let us therefore go forward, and bring honor and rights to not only) to the leader of our race but bring honor and glory to God as well. Mr G. E Carter Speake Mr G. E Carter first the president of the New York Local of the U. N. A. was the next speaker His subject, he said, he would use in the form of an ad - Wanted - A Man That was an injunction that came sounding and resounding through the age. It was given to a man of God in this form "Run ye to and fro through the streets, seek here and there and see if you can find a man whose measurement is truth and justice" God gave that to Jeremiah and Josephian search through Jerusalem for a kind of man and he was successful in finding him. Conning down to the 15th century the search for a man was made in the Catholic Church and this man was discovered in the person of Martin Luther who fought and battled successfully with the result that today we have the Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic Church. A man whose measurement is truth and justice will certainly have to fight his battles single-handed; he will have to fight it. Alight sometimes because the world is not ready for truth, and the man who dares to utter truth upon occasions will certainly bring the frowns of some Cown upon his head. In all the annals of mankind we have been in the search of a man and that man is not to be found every day. Coming to our own history there came that same cry from the throats of Negroes throughout the world—the cry "God, give us a man, whose measurement is truth and justice, and somewhere and somehow God heard the cries of his people, he understood their depression he understood their groanings and out of the islands he sent a man swarthy in complexion but a giant so far as mind and matter are concerned, and he came upon the scene and the world applauded and said that the cry of the Negroes of the world had been answered for Marcus Garvey is the man that was wanted (Applause). His measurement is truth and justice, and as he has played his part, Marcus Garvey is still crying "God, give us men" and he must have men who will stand by his sido and see and visualize the situation as he visualizes it, who will stand and support and give him the courage that is necessary in putting over this big program. We have go to have men and if we fail to get them the cause will fall and down will go the things that we so much desire Concluding, Mr Carter said with dramatic effect God, give us men whose measurement is truth and justice, men of large vision, men who are sun crowned, men who are able to put over the program and then we will have no fear of doing that which is right DR. EABON SPEAK8 After an appropriate and glowing introduction by Prof Ferria, who referred to the days when he preached and taught school in North Carolina, and when he attended some of the great mass meetings that were held at that time, during which great oratorical contests took place on the part of students of the many Negro universities and colleges of that State, and such orators as the late J. C. Price and John C. Dancy were heard, the Rev Dr J W H. Eason, American Leader of Negroes, was introduced as a worthy successor of J. C. Price. Dr. Eason delivered one of his characteristic extemporaneous addresses, and soon had the entire audience under his complete control. He had just returned, he said, from Nashville, Tennessee, and dropped in mercy to hear what was going on, but not expecting to be called upon to make a speech. He referred to his travels in the Sooth, the West and the East, and said that interest, on the part of Negro people in the Universal Negro Improvement Association has grown more within recent months than ever before because of the widespread publicity given to the perception being made against the leader, the Hon. Marus Garvey. Said the American Leader, among other things: "I am pleased to see you here again in Liberty Hall. I have read at the wonderful things about your activities here. I have kept constantly to the truth with innumerable bites. respondence and therefore and has long been my point of interest. I talk and talk with you. Dr Jason then referred to an effort he had discovered as he examined in popular view on the part of a dedicated member of the organization to steal a whole State. He had heard of all kinds of petty thefts that have been charged from time to time in a individual Negro, but he had never heard of such a thing as a Negro trying to steal a whole State as he had found in North Carolina. The effort however he declared had proved abortive and consisted in one of the former members of the North Carolina Division of the Bureau of Immigration in Arkansas in that State under the command of being the president of the N. L. A. for North Carolina. We spent a few days in New York, Georgia, he said, and there succeeded beyond our most language expectations. The people it urge through the whole country. I found are interested only in one great universal movement, and that is the Universal Negro Improvement Association, commonly called the Garvey Movement. (Applause. After that I felt the pulse of the majority of our people in different sections of this country. Especially is this true as to the interest of our people in this movement in the States that I visited as Pennsylvania. Ohio Illinois Indiana, Michigan, Iowa Minnesota Colorado, California Kentucky Boston, Massachusetts Connecticut and Nashville Tennessee where I just finished my trip. In all these sections business is beginning to be on the team and our people everywhere have gotten new courage and even those who never knew of the Universal Negro Improvement Association before I left them pledged to and by it and support it the account of the recent public and the recent perceptions our leader has undergone and is undergoing, thousands of our people are rallying to the standard of the Red the Black and the green. (Applause.) Every Reason to Feel Encouraged My friends we have a reason to feel encouraged knowing that right courage is bound finally to triumph and knowing that our cause is just and righteous altogether. Therefore we have no need whatever to feel Here Dr. Eason said that he would at a subsequent time deliver an address in Liberty Hall in which he spoke the other day in Boston entitled Patriotism Among the Negroes of the World, also an address on The New Public Opinion Concerning the Negroes of the World, and an address on The New Cultural Movement. When passing through Boston a few days ago he had spoken to Prof. Ferris about "the new cultural movement, and the professor straightway, as a result of that conversation, wrote an editorial on the subject, but gave it the title 'The Negro Renaissance thus stealing his thunder. So that if he delivered his address tonight on that subject his hearers might imagine he was stealing from Prof. Ferris' editorial. All this, said in the doctor's characteristic jocular manner caused the audience to titter with laughter. Dr Eason then referred to the early days of the movement when he and others joined it, when it was small and the prospects were not so bright when the enemies of the movement were very harsh in their attitude especially in their treatment toward it. Continuing, he said: I remember when I heard the call of Marcus Garvey crying for a man who understood human nature, who understood the yearnings of the common people, who was intensely interested in the movement and in the advancement of the race through Negro leadership, and I said then: "Here am I; send me." I heard his cry calling for a man who understood the science of handling people in masses: I have heard him calling for a man who understood the lecture platform and who was able and willing to promote the aims and objects of the great Universal Negro Improvement Association calling for racial solidarity throughout America and throughout the world; and I said: "Here am I; send me." I heard him calling for a man who understood the theologies of ancient times and of medieval times, also of modern times, and who had great vision of the future. --- man who understood the religions of all peoples and the different tames of IJ denominations, who had a firm belief in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and I said "Here am I send me," I heard him calling for a man of national and international knowledge who understood conditions of the world in general. I heard him call for a man whose heart was pure and whose mind was the right place, and who was ever ready and willing to follow and I said "Here am I send me," He called for an orator who could compete with those of ancient times and those of modern times, and who was able aside from saying things in a beautiful and eloquent manner, could say some truthful things and emphatic things, who could cope with the Negro orators of today, with the Negro statemen of today, with the white orators of today, with the white statemen of today, with the Japanese orators of today, with the Japanese statemen of today), a man who was able creditably to take his place among other leading men of other races and of other nations at this time, a man who was too young to be anything but a man and not old enough to be a fool, and I said "Here am I, send me," Laughter). And thus at that particular time the Hon. Marcus Garvey saw fit to call me into the work, and I am a determined now as I was then. I am mere! recalling these little reminisces that you may know that some of us who early came into the movement were mindful of our duty to accomplish and do certain things and that we had to press that we could do those things. We did the movement because we admired and almost adored the founder of this wonderful organization. At this point Dr. Eason was led to say that the other day one of the members said to him in the office, Doctor, "You have fallen by the wadeside. Who are so sooty?" Then she said him that the next one to fall will be Dr. Eason. When she made the latter remark he told me he would not and he later reported "show me the — fool and I will break his neck." Among his for expressing such language, Dr. Eason said that there are two things he would not take from any man or woman, living or dead, and that in, to be accused of being dishonest, or to be accused of being inaccurate, and these institutions, he won't do it, have had a tendency to dampen the ardor of some of our most enthusiastic supporters throughout this country and throughout this world. Some people don't mind are always bothering that someday they going to fail. When he saw Negroes was staining blood a was leaving that some only a going to fail a made him feel like making that Negro fail right then and since we have not the power to put those discouragers where they belong to move them off the stage of a tion he was advising those folks who believed so much in prayer and who have so much power with tion to pin, that tion will move the stumbling blocks since we are not the set of strong enough from a governmental standpoint to put our traitors and betrayers where they belong. To illustrate his point Dr Eason told a story of a woman who prayed to God to move the stumbling block in her way and God killed her husband. She came home and found him dead and tried as though she was crazy and god whispered to an angel and the angel told her. You asked tion to move the stumbling block and he has answered your prayer (Laughter). An so he said if some of the stumbling blocks would be moved out of the I N I A he expected some of the folks who are always finding fault with our leader and always finding fault with the management and the heads of the local auxiliaries and the local officers would be the first ones to be removed. Therefore he said he let us keep on praying to God to remove the stumbling blocks because the prayer of a righteous person availeth much. Continuing Dr. Eason said he was quite sure that we are aware of the fact that the eyes of the entire world are upon us. We have launched a world program and only men and women with world-wide visions can even conceive of such a program as this and one men and women who are students of world affairs can see the end from the beginning. We are at the work of building a race of establishing a nation to give back to a people their souls and of caring them up to their place in the sun and as we go on we remember that — the heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept Were toting upwards in the night."

NEGRO WORLD This movement came into existence as the final sequence to the Negro endeavors—of the Negro yearnings, of the Negro's aspirations, and such wonderful ideas as these are not realized in a moment, are not realized in an hour are not accomplished in a day, in a week nor a month nor a year nor half a century or a century, it might take ages to realize fully the great dream and the wonderful vision of the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. But since our nause is just and since the time is ripe, and since all other people have gone up this way, we find that there is no royal road to race solidarity; we find that there is no royal road to the complete unification of the Negro people of the world, but we must go up steadily, gradually and persistently, but go up just the same until we reach the heights deleterable up yonder where our flag—the emblem of complete freedom the emblem of Negro liberty, the emblem of an enfranchised race throughout the world, emblematic of the highest ideals of the New Negro of the new day will wave in Africa, the land of the free and the home of the brave, emblematic of the complete emancipation of the African people of the world at home and abroad. (Applause.) The thing for the Negro peoples of this country and this world to do is to believe in themselves and in their own kind, and the more I travel and the more I see the more determined I become to spend my time and my talents and my entire life to let the Negro peoples of the world understand that they are made in the image of their ancestors and have done so possible for them to do and then to improve upon what men have done in areas past. Touching on the question of leadership, or lesson said no always like New York. The first leader no had was his father, and in Sunday school he placed himself under his father a leadership in his class. His next leader was a Negro preacher. His next leader was a Negro professor in a Negro college, founded by Negroes. run by Negroes and supported by Negroes. The next leader he had was in the Negro church under a Negro bishop whom he honored and revered. The next leader he had was a world leader, the world's worst a mighty organizer and the world's worst a preacher on the newer liberty His Excellency Mgr Garvey (Appointed "And" said he to follow that leader himself summons to the great beyond, and for following his leadership and for imbibing his teachings and for being identified with the movement that is supposed to be deplied by the intelligence (so-called) I have absolutely no apology to make to any man living or dead. Negroes, he added can do with their own things better than anybody else, and if all these folks who are so interested in our affairs would attend to their own business and let us run our runs I think the world would be better off. This movement has come into existence to teach the Negroes of the world to be what they are, use their native virtues use their native ability, use the things which Johovah has given them to improve themselves and their race everywhere in the world, to increase in our people throughout this imposition - that they are not essentially different from any other people in the world only they have been taught to heed the voice of other people instead of acting that which innately born within them.

According to the Delaware Safety Council, the essay written by Hayes was of a very high grade, passing a severe test of the judging body, consisting of two engineers and three teachers. Hayes, who is not quite 14 years of age, has a good school record and is quite a favorite among his classmates.

CANADIAN JUDGE FREES NORTH CAROLINA NEGRO Friends of Matthew Bullock Plan to Spend Defense Fund on Demonstration and Feast HAMILTON Ontario March 8 County Judge Bruder today released Matthew Bullock American Negro who was held at the request of United States authorities for extradition to Norlina, N.C. when he is wanted on a charge of attempted murder. The Southern State refused to send witnesses to Canada to testify in extradition proceedings. The Judge ruled when Bullock was rearrested two weeks ago that witnesses must be produced by North Carolina to establish a prima facie case against the Negro. Governor Morrison of North Carolina refused to send witnesses here and the Judge held that affidavits submitted by the United States Consul were not sufficient proof of the prisoner's guilt. The friends of Bullock planned to spend money raised in Toronto and other places in a defense fund on a big demonstration and feast in his honor. Bullock's case has caused international attention. Norlin authorities failed to gain his extradition at a hearing several weeks ago when they sought him on a charge of insulting to riot. Then they began proceedings on a charge of having attempted to murder Rahey Trayler in a race riot, which ended in the lynching of Bullock's brother. Bullock declared he feared lynching, should he be returned to Norlin. RALEIGH N.C. March 3—Governor Morrison of North Carolina, on being informed of the release today of Mathew Bullock sent the following telegram to Acting Secretary of State Fletcher Before you finally consent to the interpretation of the treaty with threat Britain, which embraces Canada as made by Canadian authorities, I wish you to consider the serious consequences to the administration of justice in this country. There is no legislation national on the subject. A national can be forced to go to a foreign country to testify. I do not think any can be constitutionally enacted. It would be both unwise and impossible to furnish oral testimony in Canada or other foreign countries. It could only be done through voluntary witnesses and of course they would be discredited to turt with WEEKLY SERMON By G. EMONEI CARTER . OBJECT "Tollers or Eyeservants - Which" TEXT St John 9.4. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day. Jesus in company with his disciples uttered the above words of the text and proceeded to help the bond man who acted on the initiative of His father. He served because he realized there was a motive for his work. This example of the Christ should find expression in our lives. We who are conscientious in the performance of our duty, labor as tollers and count it a joy to work knowing that the invisible eye sees us. But we, who put in time and seek to evade even our rightful task are eye-servants. 1 The motive which prompts us to work determines the which? The man or woman who thinks that honest labor is belittling and unworthy of him is already unfitted for duty. The best executive is the hard-cat worked executive. The best field worker is the productive laborer in the field. The best organizer is the hard-cat worked man or woman. The most efficient clerk or stenographer in the toller and not the eye servant. The eye servant is to be found in every avocation of life. He sits in the high places as well as the low places. But wherever he emanates to serve failure is sure to come in the end because he labors not in the present but constantly procrastinates. He is constantly looking at the clock and finding an excuse to leave his desk and wander about in hope of killing time. He is How Many Shares Have You Purchased? quietly puffing a cigar or cigarette when he should be thinking out some problem or performing some task. He is just a space-filler receiving a salary, with no thought of the invisible eye resting upon him, but always anxious to avail the eye of those who may be responsible for his actions. 2 The work must be definite, and those who essay to do it must be in harmony with it. There cannot be a successful prosecution of any cause, unless we have men and women who are able to sensitize the work in hand. The work must become a part of his being and he serves because he is anxious to advance the cause of which he is a vital part. Christ labored because he was part of an infinite plan and therefore understood the part he was to play in perfecting this plan. So we must enter into our duties with motives that actuate a life and its interests rather than the living and its pay. Too many of us become eye servants in failing to ask why we accept the position or job in which we find ourselves. 3 The time element expressed in the clause, while it is day"—means that efficient service must be performed in the present, under favorable conditions, where there is light sunshine warmth and all that goes to render the task pleasant therefore, it is imperative upon the employers to make conditions suitable for the worker, and it is necessary that the worker reciprocate by giving his best and full measure of labor. We need tollers rather than eye servants. The first is a class to be desired the second a class that can be easily dispensed. Let us then in the present faithfully perform every duty assigned and come into full appreciation of Longfellow's quotation. Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate Still achieving still pursuing Learn to labor and to wait U. N. I. A. DIVISION NO. 20 The meeting was opened by the president singing of From Greenland and Mountains and reading the choir chanting the Lord's prayer after which Scripture lessons by Dr J T Byrd, prayer by the chaplain and selections by the choir. Vice-President Tate announced the meeting open. Neal was an address to the antion. He desired to most enemy to our President and this movement is our own color, and if there is a traitor in this hull today I pray that he or she may die before they can do harm, because this movement is the only movement that ever was known in the history of the world to free the Negroes. Mrs. M Youngo, president, spoke wonderfully on the cause of standing by our President General in his struggle, and the entire audience joined her with a heartfelt sympathy. Her address was very inspiring so much so that it carried the house in a storm of joy. The Ethiopian Quartet gave selections and there were also selections by the choir, a solo by Mrs. Carrie Goodman and her solo was much applauded by the audience. Rev Williams then addressed the audience. His first thought was to call for the membership. He asked all that were not members to stand on their feet and many urged for instruction after which some of them came up and joined. He began his address by declaring that his whole heart and mind were centered on the Garvey movement and it would take nothing but a God to change him. He further stated that regardless of all the knockers Africa shall be redeemed. Dr Columbus Maxwell in his address, made everything plain to the audience about the disasters which happened to our President General and the audience cried out, "We will stand by the Red, the Black and the Green waving in the hands of our wonderful leader, Marcus Garvey and at his back and call we are ready to fall in line with four hundred million, carrying the Red, the Black and Green Dr Maxwell declared that our President-General will overcome his charges. He gave way for a solo by Mr G. Davis, entitled "We Are Going Home to Africa." in that good, old-fashioned way, after which Dr Maxwell called for a collection and in five minutes he received a total of $66.89 The meeting closed with the singing of "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 11. 1922 NEGROES—SLAVE OR FREE The writer desires to point out to the enemies of the U. N. L. A—the jackiegged preacher, the "brainy" men who lacks brain and the traitors—that their attempts to hamper the New Negro and the U. N. I. A will never succeed. If they only know what is a New Negro they would never attempt their crafty tricks. There are many of them who believe that they are New Negroes, but they are no more nor less than "drowny Negroes. Any Negro boasting of being a New Negro, trying to lead others to believe that he means good and then destroys his own good works is unworthy to be called even by the worst of names. Any Negro who believes that he is created to the imagery and likeness of God and does not attempt to make himself worthwhile is unworthy of the breath of life. Woe be unto those who follow the desil The New Negro is real not false. He has backbone, he believes in himself he believes in building up not destroying, he believes in One God, One Alm One Destiny he believes in race first Africa for the Africans at home and abroad real Negro leadership in short he believes that he is a man created to the image and likeness of the one true God and that whatever any other man can do to build up himself, he, the New Negro, can do likewise. There is no reason why Negroes should be so stupid to allow themselves to be used as tools for any wicked, worthless work. Why all those who believe that they are intelligent do not make any good use of their brains? If Negroes as a distinct race of 400,000,000 of people or more with Africa as their rightful heritage do not see the necessity of being independent with a government (or governments) of their own, but are quite satisfied of being kicked about by other races, well Negroes should not be in existence. Study the condition of Negroes in the Western Hemisphere for over 300 years. "Taken from their home in Africa—daughter and son separated from father and mother, brother from sister, wife from husband—chained like wild animals and brought over to America and the West Indies, where they were forced to work like beasts of burden, partial freedom, helped in every way to promote the so-called superior race, its governments, its countries, and yet Negroes are lynched, burned, Jim-crowed, their heads used as footballs and Negroes are denied a voice in the government, fought to protect the Union Jack, the Stars and Stripes and the Tri-Color of France, yet they are not protected under the respective flags. In Africa Negroes are stripped naked and flogged; shot without cause, their lands are taken from them without their consent; they are ill-treated in all forms too numerous to mention." Why should Negroes be satisfied? Negroes, are you ever prepared to build up other races and ruin yourselves, build up somebody's country and despise your motherland Africa; make the world safe for white democracy while you are continually being deprived of Democracy? Are you satisfied of being "howers of wood and drawers of water"? You have heard the cry of India for the Indians, Egypt for the Egyptians China for the Chinese won't your sons and daughters of Africa let your voice—the cry of Africa for the Africans at home and abroad—be heard throughout the universe? Ye Negro "brainy" men, preachers, politicians, traitors—you who retard the progress of the new Negro—won't you stop your reacherous acts and do your duty faithfully to your race? You have nothing in America or Europe, but there is something for you in Africa. You are neither Caucasian nor Mongolian, but Ethiopian. Woo be unto you, you hypocrites! Attention' Mr Negro traitor Attention' Mr Caucasian. Bohold the new Negroes' They have girded on their armor They have taken up the sword of justice The trumpet is sounded They are determined to capture the strongholds of oppression They are coming, and all the forces of hades cannot prevail against them They are marching on, carrying aloft the Red, the Black and the Green, and are singing the Ethiopian national anthem There will be no "peace on earth and good will towards men" until Negroes are free, until Africa is redeemed "AN AFRICAN ABROAD" Dominica.

Various spurious leaders passed Throughout past decades and ages The uncle-"Tom Negro" did his bit. In putting the program over But being wanting in intellect His plans his foes did uncover But a great beacon light has beams forth. As from behind a clouded sky And has shed its tails of bristling, To help bring independence on high The intellectual giant of which I refer to in this short poem is Honorable Marcus Garvey Who soon will take his people home I style him as a gigantic oak Shaken hard by many a storm, But amidst all the hard jaws and knocks None succeeds in doing him harm He has been referred to as Moses But we believe him greater yet, Because the obstacles he confronts, Are the worst that ever were met The giant oak in a stromy time Heeled and rocked by mighty winds and gales. Will some day behold the Promised Land And on the angry waters sail Wake! Wake! All ye sons of Africa. Stand and fight for your inborn rights. Support your brave and fearless leader With all money, morals and might. Each time that a tree is cropped on bobbed better hold it takes on life. All hindrances are but stopping stones By which we may overcome strife. The U N I A means pure and clean And everything that is right. The fearless leader stands for the same. Also struggles with all his might. The devil fights him on every hand. Trying to fright him from the shore But being a man who trusts in He prospers wherever he goes. Yet launched by a man of the race. But the wonderful Marcus Garvey Attempted it with great success We honor him as the greatest man That ever trod on earthly ground. We stand back of him with our support And assure him he'll got the crown The African Communities League Has done more in the past few years Than all the other motives combined, With their many groans, mourns and tears.

JOHN THOMAS. 514 Lenox Ave. Apt. 1-B, New York City. VER OTHI A PURIFIER OF FASHION By ERIC D. WALROND THE GLASS OF FASHION. By a Gentleman with a Duster, G. B. Putnam's Sons, New York. Mr. Oliver is a Puritan who feels it his duty to correct the "false impression of English society," conveyed by the autobiography of Mrs. Asquith and the diaries of Colonel Repington. From the outset one feels the intensity of the author's religion and love for his country. The "nippancies" of Colonel Repington and the "shock tactics" of the wife of the former Prime Minister cause him to prop his chin on his palm and with mist. His eyes pray for the return of the age of William and Catherine Gladstone, whose "inward earnestness," like Goethe, is so unfortunately lacking in the virtues of "that Tenant Girl." Also, there is very vital international aspect at the back of all this. England is in a very critical position and an trail leading to the corruption and immorality of Fashion, is conclusive proof of the decadence of the English nation. But the immodesty, the cheap humor, the conspicuism of Mrs. Asquith is the thing that gnawes at Mr. Oliver's patriotic sense. To vindicate Fashion and expose the opportunism of Margot, Mr. Oliver dedicates his work, and he does it in a charmingly scholarly manner. MOREHOUSE BEATS HAMPTON BY CHASLEZ H.

HILL COMPANY, DETROIT, N.Y. The People of India Hate England, and Always Will The Secretary of State for India, B. Montagu, recently delivered a speech in London concerning India of which the following is a part: We are in favor of "awaraj," as they call it within the empire. We will lead them there in the only way we believe they can be successfully led there. It is pathetic that those disturbing the peace in India today bear on the forefront of their banner and demand for precisely the same "awaraj" or self-government, but they think they can get it faster by revolution. It is by evolution, not revolution, that progress is possible, therefore there is no way of dealing with their efforts except by the rigorous enforcement of the law and the severe repression of those seeking to disturb it. This is an unusually disgusting bit of hypocrisy even for an English imperialist sighing with typical English cant over his white man's burden. Mr Montagu knows that a self-governing India can never be a partner in the British Empire. He knows it is impossible because the people of India hate England on account of wrongs inflicted upon them greater than wrongs inflicted upon one nation by another in the whole course of the rest of human history. The people of India hate England for the lestruction of everything which every race holds dear—the destruction of their culture education, agriculture, industry, commerce, prosperity self-respect and scores of millions of their very lives. There is nothing in the records of the race which equals the destruction of life from the progressively increasing famines in India caused by British misgovernment and robbery organised on a mammoth scale. Thirty-three million people died of famine in India four years ago because England took by force from India millions of tons of grain which LADY PRESIDENT'S MOTHER PASSES AWAY March 2, 1922. Mrs. Sophia P. Smith, mother of the Lady President of Kansas Division No. 128. U. N. I. A., passed away February 11, 1922, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harmonia Wilson, 1615 North Ninth street, Kansas City, Kan. She was a member of the U. N. I. A. When the dollar drive was on for the Phyllis Wheatley she contributed a dollar she had saved for nine years. She was in her seventy-second year Mrs. Smith leaves three daughters to mourn her loss. Mrs. Etter M. Young, lady president of No 128, Kansas Division, Mrs. Blanche Patterson, treasurer of the Black Cross Nurses Auxiliary, and Mrs. Harmonia Wilson. B C N. The remains were taken to her old home at Pleasanton Kan., accompanied by the head Black Cross Nurse, Mrs. Katie Riley Respectfully CURTIS WATSON, Recording Secretary, 128th Kansas Division would have sustained the life of every man, woman and child of those thirty-three million souls who died in miserably of the slow torment in 1818. The hatred of England by the Indian people is irreconcilable. The Indian land destroyed the grease culture. It was a splendid land having a backgrond of 60 years which included an eminence in philosophy and the arts and science of which any nation could have been proud. Their hatred of England is irreconcilable because England, as soon as she could, with a deliberate intention of race assassination, destroyed the educational institutions of India under which 50 per cent. of the people were able to read and write 150 years ago when the English themselves were almost totally illiterate. When the English seized India her agriculture, industry and commerce were flourishing, and the fame of her wealth, the "Wealth of India" was a byword throughout the world. Like the most monstrous bloodsucker that ever took the form of government, England has been transfusing India blood into her own veins for a hundred and fifty years. During the last century the basis of England's industrial and commercial progress was the life-blood drawn from India. Today, bled white and starving, India is preparing to free herself from this slow, torturing assassination of direct once. For these reasons Mr. Montagu knows that India will never stay in the British Empire a moment after she acquires the physical power to give out, and he knows that self-government, that is the power to organize, would immediately give three hundred million people plenty of power to rid themselves of their undesirable "partner" living ten thousand miles away. Indeed, even if India had none of her terrible grievances against England, the difference in her culture, geography, race and material interests would make such a partnership as ephemeral as figures in the clouds. Mr. Montagu and every intelligent Englishman knows that English "partnership" with India must be based upon force—the cruelest kind of force—and that even this kind of hold is slipping every day—Exchange. By Edgar Luolen Larkin Director of Lowe Observatory It is recorded that when Kitchen and the Nubians, otherwise Ethiopians, near the gigantic ruins of the very pre- cient Abyssinian city Merpa, so graci- tically described by Herodotus, Straba and Agatharchides, engaged in battles the results of the conflict were known by all of the descendants of the ancient Atlantaens, the Meriones, hundred of r.' away, at once. All of the various dar-faced Ethiopians were aware of facts before the English. Psychol- ogists have gone on dreadfully ever, since, calling this phenomenon "applied psychoiology," which is now "taking in" millions of dollars from dupe- s by designing lectures. That is nothing for the Ethiopian folk, for a change in any fashion starting in Paris or even New York would be known in Los Anzios and Hawaii sooner than the news in the Sudan war among the Atlantides around the Khartoum country.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF RENE MARAN Exposing the soul of the Congo "Haitoua," the bitter Negro novel which has won the Gonçoumert prize for 1921 in Paris, gives a stark and hurdled transcript of the passionate, unfettered life of the primitive Africans and with compelling power presents a pulsing melodrama of a suppressed barbary people. THESE are the striking words which headline Mr. Herbert I. Seligman's novel in the magazine section of the New York World for February 20. Like his critical analysis of Marcus Gates in the same paper a few weeks ago, Mr. Seligman paints the commendable traits of the Negro in soft, subdued tints and his barbaric side in bright red colors. He puts the diminuendo on the Negro's good qualities and the crescendo on his bad qualities (Perhaps he does so for dramatic effects.) But Mr. Seligman's article is not our theme, but only the text for departure René Maran and his famous novel, "Batouala," is the theme for this week's editorial. As the novel is written in French and as we are not a French scholar we have never been fortunate enough to read it and cannot make a comparative study of it. We do not know whether it will rank with Dumas' "Three Musketeers," Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables," Scott's Ivanhoe, Bulwer Lytton's "Last Days of Pommel," Thackery's "Vanity Fair," Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities," George Ellis's "Adam Bede," Gen. Lew Wallace's "Ben-Hur," Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter" and Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as among the great novels. Its significance for us resides in the fact that a Negro novelist startled the world by winning the coveted Goncourt prize for the best French novel of the year. Not only did daily newspapers give him big headlines, but magazines like the Current Opinion for March printed his photograph and devoted over two pages to the Negro author. By sheer force of genius René Maran succeeded, like Poushkin, Alexandre Dumas père and Samuel Coleridge Taylor, in transcending the limitations of race and color. As such his career ought to be an inspiration to men and women of color everywhere. It indicates that in the world of letters, art, music and science the coloring matter in the pigment cells is no handicap to a man if the light of genius shines through the soul. THE INNOVATION What is remarkable in René Maran's novel, "Batouala," winning the Goncourt prize is that the book won the approval of the French critics even though it arraigned French colonial rule in Africa and indicted Caucasian reign in the Dark Continent. Now this in an innovation. Usually when a man of color writes a book, a magazine article or delivers an address it is not rated by the Caucasian world according to its philosophic, scientific, historical or literary value, but according as it does or does not represent the Caucasian's estimate of the Negro's place in the scale of creation. We recall that one Negro historian was criticized a few years ago because he glorified the Negro and another Negro historian was commended by a New York paper because he did not discuss the delicate question of the civil and political status of the Negro. But such was not the case with René Maran. When Dr. Henri de Regnier took "Batoula" to a publisher and when Monsieur Manuel Galousto brought it to the attention of the Academie Goncourt they were not rating the novel in relation to its accordance or lack of accordance with French colonial policy but according to its literary value. René Maran won the "much-coveted Goncourt prize" through producing a work of pure literature. Mr. T. R. Ybarra, writing in the New York Times, says that the description of a dance "reveals René Maran not only as one with a remarkable fund of original first-hand knowledge of the Negroes of whom he writes, but also a writer with a Zolaesque capacity for parading details of filth and degradation and brutality! His realism is unbounded; at times he goes to lengths before which even the most extreme of modern French writers might hesitate. On the other hand, he draws pictures of the African wilderness, creates an atmosphere of vast spaces and silence and thystery which recall W.H. Hudson at his best. And always, even when his Africans are dancing and reveling at their maddest, he succeeds in suggesting the unhappiness that beats them—the sword of Damocles which the white man holds suspended over their heads." Marin will go down in literary history as a striking exponent of realism in literature; for he has an artist's touch in painting in lurid colors. "BATOUALA" NOT A PROPAGANDA NOVEL But although René Maran in his preface and in the words of Emma and Batimila's father launches a forcible indictment of French policy in Africa, "Batimila" is not a propaganda novel in the sense of presenting the Negro in a favorable light. It is a vivid picture, and threatened of the harbours life and the degradation of semi-arctic life in Africa. portions of his native land. But we have no quarrel with Mr. Maran because he gave us a work of art instead of a sermon or essay in the guise of a novel. Novels, plays and poems with a conscious purpose usually fail of their desired effect. The novel and play should unfold itself naturally as a story. The poem should well up spontaneously from the soul depths of the inspired seer. There should be no strangling for effect, no overexcitement to preach a sermon, point a moral and teach a lesson. Then the novel, play or poem will bring its message as a novel, play or poem THE editor of the issue of Maran Is Pickens On! task because he refuses judgment in the case of Mr. Pickens, who has moved by these accusations has taken the time to a REALISM AND IMPRESSIONALISM IN ART A quarter of a century ago the novels of Emile Zola caused realism in literature to be a burning question. A quarter of a century ago cultured people crowded the Yale Art Building to hear La Farge lecture on realism and impressionalism in art. Then the question was asked, "Who is truer to nature—the writer who describes things as he actually sees them or the writer who idealizes, the painter who paints things as they actually are or the painter who idealizes? Realistic art is art, but idealized art is higher art. The greatness, grandeur and glory of Homer, Virgil, Dante, Milton, Goethe and Shakespeare reside in the fact that they not only saw the petty and sordid details of the actual, but that their large imaginations transcended the real and transfigured it in the divine light of the ideal. The magic spell of Homer's "Illiad" and "Odyssey" resides in the fact that they not only faithfully portray Greek life in the Homeric days, showing how men actually lived in those days, but because they idealized Greek warriors and presented real heroes in Achilles, Patrocles, Domedes, Ajax, Hector and Ulysses; a real beauty in Helen and real heroines in Andromache and Penelope, and sang of the glories of the Greek skies, sea and land at the same time. The beauty and power of Tennyson's famous lines about "the flower in the cranned wall" reside in the fact that Tennyson sees in "the flower in the cranned wall" something more than a mere flower. This is the function of the imagination. It takes the material presented by the senses, takes perceptions and memory images, takes sights and sounds of nature and human life and combines and enlarges upon them so that it gives us a new creation. The imagination is a magic wand that touches plain homely things and causes them to take on new beauty and meaning. Maran is a great artist, a great word painter, but he would be a greater artist if he saw the African not only as he actually is but as it is possible for him to become—the raw stuff and raw material out of which manhood is made. VISION We are told in the Scriptures, "Where there is no wisdom the people perish." Take Jesus of Nazareth, the Master Mind of the Bible. He saw poor, unlettered fishermen casting down their nets into the sea, and he saw the possibilities of their becoming fishers of men. He saw Matthew, the publican, sitting down and receiving taxes, and He saw that Matthew was capable of something nobler than remaining extortionate tax collector. He saw the prodigal son living among the swine and eating their food, and saw that a higher and noble life was possible for him. He saw the lilies of field, not as mere waving lilies, but as arrayed in garments of beauty which surpassed the glittering raiment of Solomon. In that resided the magic power of Christianity in the early days. It taught that no matter how sunk a man was in vice and degradation he was still a child of God, created in the Divine image. There was still a divine spark within him. It was still possible for him to throw off the shackles of sin and walk in the newness of a redeemed life. And that is all there is in the Christian doctrine of regeneration and conversion. And while we doff our hats to René Maran as a master psychologist and a master artist; while his achievement of breaking across the color line and winning the Goncourt prize will be immortalized in literary history, we regret that the brilliant young author did not see in some of those African children a future Mohammed Askia, Toussaint l'Ouverture, Paul Cuffee, Sir William Conrad Reeves, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Duse Mohamed, Bishop A. J. Crowther, John Menshau Sorbah, Casely Hayford, K. Aggley or Oreshatukeh Faduma. Though the African at home and abroad may be sick of an intellectual palsy, it is still possible for him to rise, take up his bed and walk, still possible for him to not only master every detail of twentieth century civilization, but also to make a contribution of his own to civilization. Between the enervating effect of the heat of the tropics and the oppressive hand of the European, the African is frequently crushed between the upper and the nether millstones. Thus far the African as a whole has felt the baleful rather than the beneficent effects of civilization. If Maran's novel should be the means of causing the European nations to adopt a more liberal colonial policy in Africa, at no distant day we may see the beginnings of another Ethiopia and another Timbuco. W H F. THE DICE OF DESTINY a while we hear of a white employer trying a Negro who is in sympathy with the head of Mr. Marcus Garvey. "Go to Garvey; "go and let him give you a job" a minority of colored people are of the philosophy is untimely and premature of the race. But these people, unfortunate ought to remember that whenever a moment started by black people in the best proof of that movements virtue, white employer vents his spleen in such consciously betrays fear of the awful present. White-like, he thinks of self-pride to gratify that is to "take it out of" it to be a scorching lesson to the Negro to bring to his mind's eye the tragedy of upstanding. It ought to send him out from his eyes, seeing the red monsters all his grizzily colors. And then, when think of casting the dice of destiny, heization that brings terror to the heart him! ONCE in a while we hear of a white employer truculently discharging a Negro who is in sympathy with the radical doctrines of Mr. Marcus Garvey. "Go to Garvey," screams the irate capitalist; "go and let him give you a job." The upshot of the matter is a minority of colored people are of the opinion that Mr. Garvey's philosophy is untimely and premature and inimical to the prosperity of the race. But these people, unfortunately, are misguided. They ought to remember that whenever a white man opposes a movement started by black people in the interest of black people, it is the best proof of that movements virtue and timeliness. And when a white employer vents his spleen in such a high-handed manner, he unconsciously betrays fear of the awful potentialities of such a movement. White-like, he thinks of self-preservation, and the easiest way to gratify that is to "take it out of" his Negro help. But this ought to be a scorching lesson to the Negro. It ought to fortify him, to bring to his mind's eye the tragedy of what it is to be black, and upstanding. It ought to send him out in the world with the film torn from his eyes, seeing the red monster labeled race prejudice in all his grizzily colors. And then, when he comes to retrospect, to think of casting the dice of destiny, he is convinced that the organization that brings terror to the hearts of white men is the one for him! E D W "THE GARVEY MOVEMENT" GREAT many people seem to be in glee because Marcus Garvey is having some trouble in New York courts. This is wrong. We are frank to say we hope Mr. Garvey will overcome all his enemies, and they will not be able to prove anything against him. His is a gigantic program, fraught with many dangers. For many reasons a large group of people want him to fail. To our mind it would be a great calamity for him to fail. We do not say that everything Mr. Garvey has done has been wise or politic or even financially profitable. But we do say our prayers are with him, and should his project fail we say we should feel it as though it were a great personal loss. Should he succeed in one-half of his undertaking, within the next ten years, he will have accomplished the greatest thing in Negro history since Richard Allen established the A. M. E. Church—Christian Recorder, Philia- THE editor of the "Cleveland Call" comes out in an editorial in the issue of March the 4th, entitled, "What Side of the Fence Is Pickens On?" The editor takes Mr. Pickens severely to task because he refuses to allow prejudice to get the better of his judgment in the case of Mr. Garvey. It is gratifying to know that Mr. Pickens, who has taken the time to investigate, has not been moved by these accusations against Mr Garvey. Every man who has taken the time to ascertain facts has adopted a similar attitude. We would invite those newspapers, who criticise Mr Pickens for the position he takes, to make the investigation that Mr Pickens has made. They would then be in a better position to inform their readers, whom they are at present innocently misleading. As a young man, who has been editor of a prominent American weekly, we have been made to feel sick at heart by the way in which some of the newspapers of the country have treated this case. They have printed every bit of "rubbish" sent them about Mr Garvey without any thought of its authenticity. They have been innocent contributors to a scheme set on foot to destroy Mr Garvey by a class of men whom, if these editors knew personally, or know even of their reputation—they would shrink from them. This attitude is not a fair or an honest one. We would be real angry if we were not conscious of the fact that this attitude does not proceed from a desire on the part of some of these editors to do Mr Garvey injury, but rather it is the result of their not acquainting themselves more fully with the facts, in order that they may discriminate between what is news and what is distorted opinion in the case. We are appealing to the editors, many of whom we know personally, to not allow themselves to be used by designing individuals who have never meant any good to the race and who, if encouraged, will destroy us all. As one of the profession we are aware of the high integrity of the newspaper men shaping opinion in this country, and we feel certain that this strength of character can be depended upon to save the Negro from the treachery of those discredited members of the race who are seeking to destroy the higher aspirations of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. The editor of the "Cleveland Call" wants to know "what side of the fence is Pickens on?" We might state for his benefit that he is on the side of the right, a side on which all honest seekers after the truth should be. But some persons are not honestly seeking after the truth. "Tis pity. But pity' its, its true. PICKENS THE editor of the "Cleveland Call" the issue of March the 4th, entitled Is Pickens On?

Martin C. Ansorage of New York in the house of Representatives, Washington, has consistently delivered himself of most convincing arguments in connection with the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill now before the Senate. On the principle that "no State shall deny to any person the equal protection of the law," Mr. Ansorage has shown himself keenly alive to the political requirements of his colored constituents. His speech delivered on January 25, was a gem of lucid and historical eloquence. He said among other things: "Slavery as an institution had been condemned by the emancipation proclamation issued by President Lincoln to take effect in January of 1863. By this instrument the Negro was set free by the army commanders as soon as the Union forces took possession and occupied slave territory. A doctrine that the colored man was no longer a subject of property was a more humanitarian announcement in view of the peculiar conditions which ensued in the Southern States. In this respect we have an exact forerunner of the present inactivity of the State governments in the regions where lynchings are tolerated, to the official attitude of the State governments in the enactment of civil and criminal statutes at the time when the black laws' were in vogue immediately after the Civil War. Now, as then, a failure on the part of the state administrative officers and agencies called forth a display of Federal power which found its expression in post Civil War times in the war enactments and the direct congressional legislation which were closely related to them." the reasoning of Mr Ansoorage is not only convincing, but as has already been said, he has brought a mass of historical evidence to bear upon the subject which cannot well be ignored by the Senate. It is not often that the Negro can boast a white representative who can be counted upon to fearlessly champion his rights, but the colored people of New York, particularly of the South, should be eternally grateful to one who has stood manfully for the rights of the Negroes set forth in the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments of the Constitution of the United States. I have got to hand Hubert H Harrison, who wields a "pisen" pen, the medal for the artistic, clever and courteous walloping he administered to a book publishing firm in The Negro World of last week. The complacent egotism of some of these American publishers who fancy that Negroes are incapable of appraising the value of some of the literary not they are publishing, is as H. H says, amusing. Their estimate of the Negroes' capacity for thinking on the higher levels reminds me of a line in the preface of a book in which the writer stated that the contents of it were so old and simple that, as Lord Churchill says, "even a Negro could understand it." The Lord Churchill concept of the intellectual capacity of the Negro is almost if not quite equal to that expressed by Tacitus concerning the ancient forebears of the noble Lord Churchill.

Anyone who has heard Maud Jones once is always willing to hear her again. She is an artiste par excellence. 一 We have noticed that the white boy and the black boy who attend the same school and graduate on the same day commence life on entirely different lines. The white boy goes into an office or store or bank as a clerk with the possibility of becoming a partner and ultimately head of the business, if he has brains and push and enterprise enough to reach that attitude. The best job his Negro classmate can get in the same office, store or bank is that of porter or messenger or shipping clerk, despite the fact that he may have led his classes, conched dosens of his white classmates, sustained intimate relations with them and was called familiarly by them Joe or George or whatever his name might be. On graduation day these intimates of the school room cease and the successful white student proceeds to forget his Negro classmate and whatever obligations he owed him. Later in life when they meet they sometimes have to be reintroduced to each other. The proceeding is quite formal sometimes frigid on the part of the white student whose "remembrancer" brings up the past and draws the odious comparison. The feeling that he owes any part of his success as a scholar to a Negro irks him when in the presence of that Negro and he shortens the interview as speedily as possible and sometimes attempts to patronize his black mentor by a money gift or an invitation to lunchroom or dinner in a private dining room in some prominent hotel There are some Negro students who fall for this kind of attuned and boast of the social attention paid them by a former classmate, etc., etc. We've heard some of these Negro graduates blow like porpoises because their white follow graduates have ticked their vantage by dining with them in a private room in a big hotel. But this means nothing. It doesn't get the Negro graduate any nearer the goal of his ambition than if these little social amenities never took place. As Solomon has wisely observed, "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." The Negro has to "shuffle up" on his own side and make the best of his life that he can with the brains that he has and the training he has received in college or university and he has to win his spurs as lawyer doctor college professor, etc., etc. on his side of the color line. He may be so bright, intellectually that he will shine with equal brilliancy day or night, but he will not be permitted to cross the line except in very rare cases and then only to be received and treated as a phenomenon by a small circle of whites who condescend to accept him as a near-man and who say they would like to see him given a man's chance We don't know of a single Negro graduate from a white college or university from Dr Rock, who graduated from Harvard more than seventy years ago, to the latest graduate of color from any American college or university who has risen to any distinction, except a "newspaper distraction," in all these years. They have made a sort of fetish of their alma mater, but their alma maters have not reciprocated in kind; not even to the extent of retaining som* of them as teachers and professors when they could not find a market for their wares elsewhere. These class day, orators and gold medalists of the Negro race, the core NOTICE!!! To All Divisional Presidents:—Those of you who have had the agency of Mr. Shoppard's Booklet, "Mistakes of Dr Du Bois," will please mail all unissued copies along with remittances to the office of Mr. Du Bois' literary editor of The Negro World and the WHEELER SHEPARD, Author and Field Representative. ruscations of whose intellect sparked like diamonds in classroom and on platform forty or fifty years ago, have had a comparatively hard row to hoe since receiving their sheepskins and the proverbial bunch of American beauty roses, together with the wild appointee of the audiences they faced and which Shakespeare has characterised as "the stinking breath of the multitude." They have not had the same co-operation from the faculties of their simulators which was given to the white students of the classroom and campus, whom white publicity spoken of, fully spoken, were able to attain attitudes in the public service and in business and professional callings to which Negro graduates could not hope to attain. This reason is obvious. The civilization under which we are living is white. That part of it which the Negro enjoys, if there can be said to be any enjoyment in it, is "paralyzation"—that is all. It is really appalling how little the average Negro man, woman and child in this, the light and blaze and glory of the twentieth century, actually know about the race of which they are members, and it is significant to note how eagerly they hang upon the words of speakers who do know something of interest and value about it. When the Negro really wakes up and comes to himsei there is going to be a great change in his life as he gradually beginning to find out things that he never knew before about his race, and he is going to make such a noise digging up the fact he will attract the attention of the world. --- As John Boyle O'Reilly says: "No man ever came into the world with so good an opportunity as the American Negro. He is like new moral dug out of the nine. He stands on the threshold of history with everything to learn and less to unlearn than any civilized man in the world. In his heart still ring the free sounds of the desert. In his mind he carries the tradition of Africa. The songs with which he contains American arcs are remains from the tropical deserts from the inland seas and rivers of the 'dark continent.' And Duse Mohamed All, in his address last Sunday, at the Y M A. said, "The Negro has proved himself the fittest because there is no country in the world where he cannot live and thrive." The white man can not live in the tropics continuously. He must go to Europe periodically to recuperate or die with fever, but the Negro, whether in Europe, Africa, or Asia or at the North or South Poles, lives on and without being affected either by heat or cold or fever, and he is even now immune from certain diseases which are fatal to white men. If this is the test of fitness, as Mr Duse Mohamed avened, then the Negro has fully qualified for it, for there is no country the wide-world over, in which he has not, at some period, been found alive and kicking. In Egypt centuries before there was a white civilization the blacks were engaged in an intensive study of the science of astronomy. They named the stars of magnitude and the lesser stars Says Lucian at page 985: "The Ethiopians were the first who invented the science of the stars and gave names to the planets, not at random and without meaning, but descriptive of the qualities which they conceived them to possess." The Ethiopians are of the same ethnic stock as the Negro of the present day. It was one of these Egyptians who constructed the first organ. His name was Ctesibius, a barber by trade. It was built 250 B.C. and it was the only city city and nooria. It no one who wrote the first book, but the claim is made. The world's first great work came from the pen of an Egyptian named Athota, a history of his own nation. 212 B.C. Why cannot we have a history club and lectures on these subjects by competent historians who know the facts and can trace them to their sources? We have watched the demonstration of the M. V. All Weather Train Controller now on view at 101 West 185th street, and we are not convinced. We should hate to be a passenger on a train moving and running on the same track with another train, moving at the same speed, and have to rely on that alleged controller to prevent a collision. We do not believe that there is any invention that can change a law of nature with the case that the promoters of this scheme say it can be done with their wonderful controller. Really, gentlemen, you are offering too much sugar for a penny. Why do you come to Harlem among the Negroes, when, if what you claim for this controller is true, you can get millions of backing in the downtown district. White promoters do not usually let the Negro in on some things. The laws of physics will have to be completely rewritten if your claim will really stand the acid test. It may be so, but we doubt it.

Mother's milk is nature's food for the infant for the first nine months of its life, and if, for any reason a mother is unable to suckle her cow's milk is usually resorted to, but since the food principles in human milk differ from that of cows' milk, the latter has to be modified before given to the child.

Expressions of sympathy as well as telephone and telegrams messages were received by scores at his home. No 2309 Seventh avenue, yesterday. Many members of the theatrical profession have requested an opportunity personally to pay their last respects to the memory of the popular entertainer who died at his home last Saturday night of pneumonia. It has been arranged to hold two separate funeral ceremonies. The family service will be at 12:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at St Philippe Church. The body will lie in state from 10 o'clock tomorrow morning until noon. Bert Williams, whose drols songs and monologues have made his name known throughout the English speaking world in the last thirty years, had been brought from Detroit after suffering an attack of pneumonia while on tour in his play, "Under the Bamboo Tree." With Williams when he died were his wife, Mrs. Lottie Williams and his mother, Mrs. Sarah Williams both of whom had returned with him from the West. After a collapse on the stage of the theatre in Detroit last Monday, physicist the late hope for his life lay a special good friend operation Dr H C Cornwell performed the operation last Thursday William Voodorey, a business partner of the actor, gave his blood. The response and congratulation, and Thursdays hope for saving his life was abandoned It is probable that no other Negro performer of the stage attained an high a standing professionally and personally, as Williams. He was a member of the stage company since entering upon the stage work as a boy he had appeared in Negro and white companies alike in many of the regular Broadway productions, including the Ziegfeld "Follies" and "Midnight Prolific," his name being "featuring the principal members of the casta." It was as a variety performer and strolling singer in his native West Indies and in this country that Williams, son of a poor Negro family of farmers, first found his ability to mime and act. He was brought to New York at an early age, and was quickly engaged by the theatrical producers who, in turn, placed him at the head of Negro and white troupes. His first real success here came in the team of Williams and in combination that existed for more than fifteen years. Walker died in 1891. It is likely that the pinnacle of his success came in 1810 and 1811 when William H. Hancock produced in the Ziegler productions as the New Amsterdam. He appeared last in the Winter Garden in the Shuuberts' "Broadway Brevidence"—New World World.

Attracted by the green in her breast the girl, a painful look in her virgin eyes smothers the burning flower and holds it up to the glimmering light. She sees it in its true colors—as a thing quirking with life—a thing with a heart and a soul, listing and unloved. The discovery brings mist to her dreamy eyes. Blowly the tears begin to crush down her checks. With a persistant grasp she lifts the rose to her blood red lips and crushes the very life out of it. I stand and watch, enjoy in my eyes. MR.

Gibson, Surgeon General of the U. N. L. A. O Afric son, the words that fell From thy pen make my bosom swell. To "happy" make a race inspires My heart with love's celestial fire. Ah happiness was never mine But what care I for past repina, If I can heal the captive's heart That prejudice hath torn apart, Just as a slanting ray of sun Spreads splendor when the day is dore. So on my heart thy dear words fell To touch my grief and make it well. And hope rose up from dreams of moan From couch where she had slumbered lone. To revel in the mystery Thy tender message brought to me. I followed her from her boudour— She led through fragrant paths afar— And by my side you roved with me Oer continent, we sailed the sea. We saw Old Glory's stripe and star Grow dim as we were wafted far On the ocean, and a change Stole oer us both, half sad, half strange I thought of grief thy sires have borne. And how thy heart was made to mourn. And to its banner loud I cried They taught me you were freedom a guide. But you have never sent your light To Africa son, Columbia a knight. Ah once I thought you would defend The faithful slave, our country a friend Yet not a star appears to tell How loyalty the black man fell Star spanned banner, I have wept At subtle blight that or you creep. When Freedom a heart grew still and cold. Yet, wrapped I in her starry fold. But O she could not keep me warm. For Liberty had lost its charm. But there another flag that waves Though it sprang from a race of slaves That makes my blood grow warm again. For it brings Joy instead of pain, It shields King Solomon a son brave And will not hide the mob and Knave Can womanhood trust stripes that fly Or those born fair and black don? While bleeding, dying black boys drag To victory the grand old flag To glorify the white man's name While all forgot is hero's fame? The ocean wind makes plaintive moan As the it yearned to make atone For hopes that my white sires have cruised Oar which me, cheek has paited and blushed. And mistlike rises revery From out the turbid, tossing sea I muse how sad is patrol Once loved whom freedom bath forgot How painful is the tie, when torn, That causes patrol to mourn! The flag that was a glory sign Robbed of its sacredness divine Becomes a patry, limpid rag. That makes the heart and spirit drag And charges from a banner proud, Into the semblance of a shroud. It is a poor flag that defends Fair freedom, and forgets her friend. If freedom a heart is truly warm, She will defend her friend from harm. And for him she will gladly die. That stripes of Liberty might fly My heart to African son is drawn More closely as our bark speed on The flag we seem to leave behind Leaves mutual scar on revery's bind Perhaps he plucked the cotton flower When I was in my childhood hour; Perhaps his sweat has paid the price That made my school-girl dress so nice And while I pored o'er fairy books, His lot, no doubt, was scornful looks So fancy bring her toms to me Like bold brigand upon the see And pity chides me 'till I speak.

The white maid's heart, the black man's mind! Shall daughters fair and Afrio braves Be ever thus, as white men's slaves? The white man hero might have been Had he been lights and frowned on him; But he who lights the torch and name Shall never share with me his name. A hero black hung to a tree Is better in the eyes of me Than blue-eyed braggart, features I would feel safer in his care! The white man used us for his tool. But he must hunt some other fool. Because his hair is fair or fine Makes not his inner soul divine. It's manhood that a woman seeks. Not color fends or Ku Klux anxes; And black grows loveller each day— For white is signal of affray! The white man never can restore The confidence of days of yore; For flags and color cannot hide From womanhood the man inside. Don't hang a black man to a trer And try to blame your crime on me. No one will thank you for your shame, And God will hold your soul in blame. King Menelik's son has been brave. But you have played the part of knave. We cannot bring to you a blush. But God your cruelty can crush. Let Africa maid and virgin white Combine to crush the white lord's His secrets let us scorn to keep— Their tragedies make angels weep! May God keep Meneliks a sons true To womanhood! What would we do if they made virgines white afraid Like white men do the Africal maid?

MAIL ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED FOURTEEN-YEAR OLD PRODIGY IN CENTRAL AMERICA Negro Boy Marvel in Languages and White Man's Learning, Says Miss Marie Jensen, Methodist Missionary, Just Returned TO CARVAN Negro intellectual possibilities has another example to add to its long list in the person of Mutumbu, a fourteen-year old Negro boy of the Alunda tribe in Darkest Africa, according to Miss Marie Jensen, missionary to the Congo under the Board o. Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, just returned to this country. This boy is a native of one of the most isolated parts of the Dark Continent. His home is at Musumba-wa-Mwata Yamvo (City of The Prince of Dedep capital town of the Alunda in the Congo Belge. It is more than the three miles northwest of the caribbean and of the Cape-to-Cairo railroad at Bukuma on the Upper Congo River. And there is no way of traveling through this territory save by foot or bicycle through the jungle path. It requires a month's steady trekking by caravan of native carriers who march with packs of baggage upon their backs, to reach Musumba. At the age of five years, Mutumba was taken in by Dr Arthur L. Piper, the new medical missionary at Mumbaha. Being an orphan, Mutumba has since resided in the Piper household and the daily contact with the missionaries at the Methodist station—which has since been founded there and is in operation—has developed the mind of Mutumba far beyond the average child of his years. The little Negro boy did his best to be of service about the new mission station where everyone worked at all kinds of manual labor to establish some form of civilization in that wild land. He added in the kitchen and garden, ran errands for the workmen building the houses and school building of sundried brick. When the mission station began active work for the good of the people about, Mutumba had made himself a part of the institution. He attended school and studied assiduously, and worked to learn to aid Nurse Jensen in the dispensary where his people came to have their wounds dressed and their ill healed. Speaks Seven Languages Mutubuma has picked up a variety of learning beside what he gleaned from the white folk. He speaks five other native languages (Mbundu, Chituba, Swenal, Bichokwo and Kanakok) in addition to his own (Alunda) in English. He writes in both the four languages well. Whenever range chants come to the mission for the four souls of the lunic speaking in a strange tongue which confuses the regular interpreters of the missionaries, someone a ways away "Call Mutubuma. He knows." And Mutubuma generally does. He comes and acts as "pinch" interpreter So well has Mutumba learned the lore of the Gospel as it is taught in the mission station that h is often called upon to lead the services at the little mission church, and he does so with a simple dignity that is quite impressive. When Bishop Johnson, of Africa, visited Mutumba, he made Mutumba his protege and has done much for him in the gifts of books and other means of self-improvement Mutumba is anxious to get a real education, believing that he can the better aid his people in this we. Working with Miss Jensen superviving, Mutumba translated fifty Bible stories and more than a hundred hymns into the native language. He was of material aid to the Reverend Mr T B. Brinton, who translated the first three books of the New Testament, and alone he has successfully translated the entire life of Christ. He learned to use a typewriter. When he was given a Bible of his very own, brought to him by Miss Jensen from Bukama, Mutumba was overjoyed. He often read it to groups of his World's Best Offer at SILK SWISS EMBROIDERED Linens Dresses $ 379 Just think! A high quality Linens Dress cannot be exaggerated in its beauty and elegance.

Wants a Pair of Shoes Since arriving in this country Miss Jensen has received a letter from Mutumbu. He wants her to bring him just one thing from civilization, since she can bring him a modern education in a box. He wants a pair of shoes so that he can walk through the jungle to other villages and teach his people. He tells her that his people have been sick in large numbers and Dr. Piper treats more than thirteen hundred cases a month. Miss Jensen is trying to take back some other things to Africa. She is studying simple methods of spinning and weaving cotton into cloth. The situation at Nusumba is plittable in the extreme. There is very little money and few things for barter in that wild country. The Negro people only earn about a franc a day, or about 20 cents in normal times, and seven cents at the present rates of exchange, and cloth there, when it can be procured, is held by the Portuguese traders for something like two dollars a yard. It is only the filmmiest kind of material, lasting but a short time. Miss Jensen believes that if she can procure a few hand looms and spinning wheels she can teach her young Negro women converts to make cotton into cloth for the benefit of the great mass of unclothed people. In this way she hopes to start the industry of cloth-making, thus providing a means for the economic development of the Christian mission providing them with a means of honest livelihood. Many of the Negro Christians at Nusumba 'station' are ashamed to come to church because they have no clothes save a few skins of goats or wild animals. Miss Jensen has been studying the methods employed at Hampton Institute in expectation of adapting them to the mission school and industrial training center destined to grow up at Nusumba about the mission station.

COLONY NOW, IN FRENCH VIEW Conditions of $8,000,000 Loan Make Us Her Master, Says Colonial Organ PANH, March 8 — Liberia, under the conditions of her $8,000,000 loan from Washington, becomes "purely and simply an African colony of the United States," says an editorial in the Depoche Colonial, organ of French colonial interests. "The loan question is only an accessory," the article declares. "The treaty upon which it is baked constitutes veritable annexation of Liberia by the United States." The Depoche stresses the far-reaching powers of the American commission charged with supervising Liberia finance, and says this body controls the Liberian budget or the appointment of state-state functionary, including the President of the Republic, as well as the army organization. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 BOOKS ON LIBERIA By WILLIAM H. FERRIB, A. M. Author of "The African Abroad." In addition to Sir Harry Johnson's, Prof Frederick Starrs and Mr Maughan's books on Liberia another book has recently been published and another will soon be published. Rev. Dr Thomas H. B. Walker's "History of Liberia," with foreword by J. A. Simpson, missionary to Liberia, published by The Cornhill Co., Boston, Mass., is the latest edition to the field. It is a very readable and interesting book, but we do not know whether it merits the high praise of Miss Jessie Fauset, the accomplished book reviewer of the Crisis. Miss Fauset says of Dr. Walker's book in the March number of the Crisis: "For the rest it is a work of careful though uninspired research, and the student of Africa who wishes to clear up his ideas about the Dark Continent, beginning with Liberia, would do weat to put in two or three hours reading Mr. Walker's efforts." Since Mr. Hubert H. Harrison, the contributing editor of The Negro World, began a weekly review of books in The Negro World two years ago, other writers have followed suit. And of the number Miss Mary White Owington and Miss Jesse Faust have written books. And of the number they say that Homer sometimes nods and Miss Faust evidently nodded in the March number of the Crisia. While an interesting and readable book, Dr. Walker's work in some parts is a "obnash in brief compass of Sir Harry Johnson's larger two-volume work, without giving the author credit. We only read carefully one chapter of Dr. Walker's work as we glanced through it while calling on a friend. Now, one swallow does not make the ocean, but this is what we discovered in that one chapter. Part of Chapter XXIII of Dr Walker's "History of Liberia," dealing with "Population in 1853, Border Troubles and Annexation of Maryland," is a paraphrase of Chapter XIII of Sir Harry Johnson's "Liberia," which deals with "President Roberts." Not only does Dr. Walker paraphrase Sir Harry Johnen without acknowledging his indebtedness to him, but also on pages 115 and 116 of Dr. Walker's "History of Liberia." nine sentences are practically quoted verbatim or literatim from page 228 of Sir Harry Johnson's "Liberia" without giving him credit. Not only so but Dr. Walker quotes Sir Harry Johnen, blindly, referring to Mr. George T. Downing of New York as Mr George S. Downing. As we did not have the time to make a critical and analytical study of Dr. Walker's entire book, we do not know whether chapter XXIII is a sample of the entire work. We do not believe that the Rev. Dr. Walker would consolently and deliberately plasterize, and hallucinate, rather than illuminate, raper or the printers omitted, the quotation marks, and that the proofreader or Dr. Walker overlooked the same in reading the galley and page proofs. But it is an unwritten law in the literary world that where a writer follows a path that was blazed by another writer, he will be indicted, and his indebtedness to the pioneer, but also give him credit for the discoveries that he has made. Some of our colored writers overlook this and work overtime the ideas of other writers, especially colored writers, without the morbid praise. Still, Dr. Walker has given us a readable and interesting book. We have also received by mail the table of contents and prospectus of Mr. Henry F. Downing's forthcoming "A Short History of Liberia." In nineteen chapters Mr Downing gives the history of Liberia from 1816 to 1908. Then follows an appendix in which "Natural History." "Civilized Liberans." "Aboriginal Liberians" and "Miscellany" are treated. But, best of all, there is a supplement dealing with "Opportunity Liberia Offers to Negroes for Self-Advancement" and "Hints to Those Who propose to Emigrate to Liberia." It is not only a readable and interesting book, but is also a book who has lived in Liberia and has an intimate and not a bird's-eye knowledge. It will be an ideal book for one who wants real knowledge of Liberia, without having to run to the dictionary or encyclopedia every half-hour to hunt up the meaning of some word or reference.

Author of "From Superman to Man," "As Nature Leads," and "The Approaching Storm," has written a stirring history of these militant black men which will appear serially in the NEGRO WORLD beginning Saturday, March 18, 1922. Positively the most sensational tale of the race-to protect itself from the lust and licentiousness and savage cruelty of white civilization! Place your orders with your dealer in order to get this gripping race drama! ON A CERTAIN CONDESCEN- SION IN WHITE PUBLISHERS The publisher of Mr. Lothrop Stoddard's two books, "The Rising Tide of Color" and "The New World of Islam," have had occasion to commend the thoroughness of our literary criticism of those two books, and Mr Stoddard himself entered into friendly and faithful correspondence with us. Huebsch, Scribner, Doran and Dutton have had the product of their presses properly presented to our readers—to their mutual profit. And over the Macmillans have had "The Soul of John Brown," by Stephen Graham, and "The influence of Animism on Islam," by Dr. Swiner, reviewed by us. Yet the force of an ancient attitude is strong, and other attribute in publishing houses still seem unaware of the fact that many of the 12,000,000 Negroes in this country do buy and read not only books on the Negro but other literary and scientific works. As the only "certified" Negro book-reviewer in captivity I feel the onus of this backward view which white publishers take of the market which the Negro reading-public furnishes for their warra. It is not complimentary to us it is short-aligned and unsound. After all, pennies are pennies, and books are published to be sold. We believe that the Negro reading-public will buy books—when they are published—proof of this in the amazing stream of letters and money orders which flow in to Mr Rogers at 613 Lenox avenue for his books, "From Superman to Man" and "As Nature Leads." This young Negro author's continued success is also proof of the great intellectual awakening which has been brought about by the forces of the last decade. And now, a word to our own. I foresee that in the near future there will be many book reviewers (which is the name for literary critics in their working clothes) among us. Indeed, they are already treading on my heels in this paper. May one veteran (since my book review began in the New York Times in 1908) offer a word of advice to the new recruits? In the first place, remember that in a book review you are asked to write what you know whether it is worth your while to read the book about which you are writing. They are primarily interested more in what the author set himself to do and how he does it than in your own private loves and hates. Not that these are without value, but they are strictly secondary. In the next place, respect yourself and your office so much that you will not complacently pass and praise drivel and rubbish. Grant that you don't know everything; you still must steer clear to the lights of your knowledge. Give highest services only as well as willingly, home to the highest standards with the highest members too; that you can not well review a work on African history, for instance, if that is the only work on the subject that you have read. Therefore, read widely and be well informed. Get the widest basis of knowledge for your judgment; then back your judgment to the limit. Here endeth the First Encyclical. H. H. IN DEFENSE OF CHIROPRACTIC Contributor: The Negro World Sir. For twenty-six years the science of chiropractic has survived and been put to the acid test. Being proven it is here to stay. We are in the minority (and the minority is right as many times as the majority). Columbus, Newton, Harvey, Socrates, Gallico, Archimedes, the American colonies were all in the minority. God gave them the right to see the right right, by their lives, for that which they found to be true. And time vindicated them. For some time the Medical Society (the invisible political power of the medical profession) called chiropractic a fake. By doing that they indicted themselves and increased chiropractic I cured my file by simple prepra- ration. Doctors gave me up, "ays M. Pream of Milwaukee.

A final tale of the race-to-protect itself less and savage cruelty of white dealer in order to get this gripping Third International Convention of Negro People of the World of the Universal Negro Improvement Assn. GET READY TO SEND YOUR DEPUTIES AND DELEGATES Among the many things to be discussed at the Convention will be: 1 Better relationship within the Negro Race. 2 The fostering of an international race confraternity. 3 The establishing of better commercial relationship between the Negro people of the world. 4 Discussing the plans for better Government of the Negro people of Africa. 5 Discussing better international representation and protection for the Negro people of the world. 6 Discussing ways and means of fostering and protecting independent Negro nationalities in Africa and elsewhere. 7 Discussing the future educational policy of the Negro. 8 Discussing the future religious faith and belief of the Negro. 9 Discussing ways and means of improving the industrial output of the Negro. 10 Discussing ways and means of better steamship communication between the Negro people of the world and the expansion of the Black Star Line. 11 Electing and appointing of competent leaders for the administrative control of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its auxiliary movements. 12 Drafting an international political program for the Negro people of the world. 13 Appointing delegation to represent the Negro Race at the Supreme Council of the nations to present claims. 14 Appointing international advocates on behalf of race rights, etc. in popularity with the public. Finding that weapon of no avail they at present are attacking individuals, their character eta. That is not chiropractic. We know that a great many in the chiropractic ranks are of fit chiropractors. We know that they are number of schools that are not teaching chiropractic and that the preliminary requirements should be gradually raised—say within three years—to be on par with medical require enta. But how in heaven's name can we attain this not by a law standardizing and legalizing the profession? Who is it "turing" politicians who are purporting to be serving the dear public by calling the bill a manace (to *it* pockets). Besides having all this power they use the press to maliciously attack chiropractors and certain methods of advertising, but not chiropractic itself. The charges that the Medical Society makes are so absurd that their own individual monboe are ashamed of their ethics. Do you know that over 600 I. D.'s are practicing chiropractic? Do you know that twenty-six States have legalized chiropractic? Do you know that up to 1830 the medical education consisted of four or five months, or less than two years, repeating in the second year what they had had in the first year? I refer to the Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 18, page 24, on Medical Education. We are teaching today twenty-one months of intensive work, embodying the following subjects: Anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology, neurology, pathology, physics, physiological chemistry, diathesis biology, sanitation and hygiene, applied psychology, advertising and salesmanhip, palpation, adjusting, apical or orthopedic chiropractic theory and philosophy, physical diagnosis and eliminating the materia medica (drugs) and Latin. What paper in New York is big enough and fair enough to be unbiased, to be honest with the people and become an emancipator of the control of healing from the mailed fist of the medical fraternity? We have respect for the individual medical doctor. Are all the New York papers controlled by the medical fraternity more brave as to tell the people the truth? T. BENEDICT FURNISS, D. C Metropolitan College of Chiropractic 13 Astor Place. We felt more than grateful to have had Capt. E. L. Galces with the East Liberty Division as speaker of the evening Friday, February 24, 1922. It was as the speaker remarked, "a most enthilastic audience," for our hearts diled with joy to have him in our midst. Our only regret was we had only a few days to notify the people; therefore, although we had a nice crowd, many who would have been present were absent. Hon. G. A. Weston as master of ceremonies acquitted himself with much credit in his own inimitable style. Readings were given by Master C. Davis, Little Miss B. Davis and Minnie Bertha Copeland and Florence Gibbs; paper, Miss E. Davis; address, Mrs. B. J. Finney. A solo by M. M. Bailley, a quintet by Miss E. Davis, N. Jackson, L. Wilson, Mrs. Bailley and Mrs. Finney, and a sertet by the same ladies assisted by Miss F. Gibbs, Mrs. B. J Finney, accompanist. Capt E. L. Gaines ferry but eloquent address appealed to us to be true men and women, to be loyal to the cause, and that the time would soon come when we would not only see our own redemption, but that of 400,000,000 of suffering mankind. Too much praise cannot be given the men who have come to us from time to time to encourage and help, for great will be the reward in having inspired others to develop not only charming personalities, but worth while character. We feel that Capt E. L. Gaines is a real "daddy," a" he calls himself, a father, indeed, a true leader, a Gavrieve in truth. He proved to us by his talk and actions that he is a living example of a man possessing both a charming personality and a worth while character.

ZION CHURCH OF SYRACUSE He Said the U. N. I. A.

N. I. A. and A. L. The Syracuse Division No 436 under the leadership of our revered President Rev. L. Morris Lawson, made elaborate preparations for his visit. The meeting was held at the A.M. E. Zion church which was filled to its utmost capacity. The majority of the Negroes of Syracuse have never fully understood the objects of the L. N. I. A. and the coming of the President General attracted a curious crowd further information concerning this further information. The meeting started promptly at 30 p.m with the singing of the hymn 'From Greenland to the Mountains' and the prayer at which ceremony the Chaplain Mr. Chas E. Moore officiated Then followed a short musical program. A vocalist named Miles Cortinez Butler and a clarinetist named Mr. Lewis Clyne and a violinist received much applause. Mr. Lewis pianist, and Mr. James Wilson, also played an instrument first and Mr. John Roberts sang a tribute song which is well received by the audience. The musical was brass, and Mr. Lewis was titled Leave Mr. With a Smile in the orchestra of the division. The Lads President, Mrs Amanda Evans, delivered a short address. She said that during recent years our race had made marked progress along certain lines, and for which it was due to the work of the U.N.A. The field for further improvement however was large. She assured the President, General of the loyalty of the Ladies Division and expressed their determination to let the U.N.A. and President, Rev J. Morris Lawed, then introduced Hon Marcus Garvey, who rose amid defending applauses followed immediately to an impressive silence while the whole audience rose to their feet in honor of the great leader. Mr Garvey Speaks Mr Garvey held his audience spellbound (for an hour and a half with an inspiring address on the time and objectives of the U N I A . He said that the U N I A sought to unite the 400-000,000 Negroes of the world for their industrial countryside and political upift and pointed out in detail how the segregation planned to carry out its program. He told particular emphases on the phase of the question. Mr Garvey said that the agitation for self-government was world-wide the child was readjusting itself politically. It was time for the Negro to think of terms of nationalhood and to assume a nationalistic spirit. There are two understandings of God: Mr. Garey (Jesus) and the sentiment of The Negro (Jesus) assumes the sentimental idea and therefore he makes mistakes. We must not blame God for our service condition because God is our physical self and made us soide of creation on an equality with all other men, nor must we will blame the white man who is simply using the ability given to him by God. We have only our lives to blame. The fault is not our stars, but in ourselves that we wear underlings. Mr. Garvey then de it with the American side of the problem. He showed how the 'Negro could never hope to become an important political factor in America. Numerically, the Negro element is fast becoming negligible. No matter how much ability the Negro may possess, he will never be given an equal political opportunity with the white man in this country. In view of these facts Mr. Garvey said that he thought it was time for Negroes to think of establishing an independent republic in Africa, with the idea of Africa for the Afriatic those at home and those abroad that are not there. said Mr. Garvey "to prince separation from or on antagonism to the other race but to incipate into the minds of the Negroes a spirit of self reliance and to impress them with the need for organized cooperation The L N L A he said had no animals against or quarrel with the N A A C P which was purely a domestic organization. The L N L A is advocating the salvation of the entire race and is not domestic but international in its activities.

MARCUS GARVEY IMENSE AUDIENCE URCH OF SYRACUSE Advocating the Salvation of Not Domestic, but Inter- its Activities how his program for the redemption of Africca could be worked out. In the late war he said, the Negro was the only race which was not organized, which had no program. He fought and died for nothing and got nothing; had they any definite program in the last war they could have gotten Africa easily. The next time, however, the Negro group through organization, will have a program will fight for something and will get its place in the sun. Mr. Garvey said that he was appealing to the Negroes of the world to think more of the future of their race, and to seek to lay a foundation for their posteriorly even as the Pilgrim Fathers and the revolutionary leader, George Washington did for this great American nation. Our motherland, Africa is calling to "Africa expects every African to do her duty." Mr Garvey concluded with an eloquent appeal for us to link up our forces with the U N I A to support it morally and financially, and thus hasten the day when the Red, the Black and the Green shall wave triumphantly on the hilltops of a free and redeemed Africa. Mr Garvey a speech has inspired the Negroes of Syracuse with the vision of the U N I A and has left here many enthusiastic supporters. U. N. I. A. AND A. C. L. MOVEMENT FLOURISHING IN DEMERARA Dr. Tobitt Addresses Enthusiastic Meetings The Prolle Hall where the regular meetings of the U N I A and A C L are held on Sunday and Thursday evening generally was taxed to its utmost capacity on Sunday night, the both are the people having heard that Dr R H Tobitt would be present, and that the meeting was open to the public. The first part of the program was musical Mr J Barker orchestra participating on the occasion. The preliminary addresses delivered by Mrs Sophia Benjamin, lady president of the local division Mr Sergeant chairman of the Advisory Board and Mr C W Thomas, who occupied the chair on the occasion, were well received being brimful of eloquence and expressive of the deep interest the speakers have in the association and its ultimate success. Dr Tobitt rising amidst deafening applause informed the audience that they nee not expect a sermon from him that evening, yet he was reminded at the time of the words of Joseph to his brethren when he made himself known unto them six "God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance." (Gen 45.7) The doctor delivered a most eloquent and forceful address in which he clearly brought out the fact that the very means Joseph jealous, envious and malicious brethren used to bring about his destruction proved to him a disgasting and to his brethren themselves a salvation, and in like manner through jealousy envy hatred and malice, the Hon Marcus Garvey was shot at and wounded by an assassin who afterwards took his own life in remorse for what he had done to one who was endeavoring fearlessly—because honestly and rightfully—to uplift the down-trodden people of his race. The doctor added truly by such deeds as performed by Marcus Garvey and such wrongs as suffered by him are martyrms made. Four shots were fired at him from close range, but he was wounded only in the ankle, and with all made his way to a meeting of the Black Star Line, then in session. Enemies may destroy the physical body of Marcus Garvey, but his spirit will live on in 400,000,000 Nagroes of the world who have arisen from their Rip Van Winkle slumfire, of over 300 years. Then waxing still more eloquent Dr Tobitt concluded by exclaiming: "When you who are enemies of this righteous cause can bell dry the mighty ocean or stop its circulation around the globe; when you can number the sands upon the seashore or count the stars that besprinkle the heavens; when you can mute out the heavens with a span, can comprehend the dust of the earth in a measure, and weigh the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance; yes, when you can quench the fires of a yearning ball, then and only then will you be able to stop the onward rush of the U. N. L. A., the greatest avalanche of the law for righteousness, and "destroy" the Secretary --- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 spirit of the new Negro in his upward march to like liberty and the pursuits of happiness as provided for in the law of the Divine Economy when Almighty God in his infinite wisdom made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth and set their bounds." At the conclusion of the doctor's address the hall rang with cheer upon cheer. Lively and appropriate hymns were sung and over thirty persons joined the local division on the appeal of Dr. Tobit in honor of Madam Fraser-Robinson, a native of British Guiana, who, through the U. N. L. A., is becoming a world-famed singer in rank with Madam Patti Brown and Madam Brier Houston. Labor Union Anniversary On Sunday afternoon at the third anniversary of the British Guiana Labor Union, Dr. H. Tobitl was the guest of honor. Dressed in his beautiful uniform as High Commissioner, he entered the hall in a most dignified manner preceded by other officers of the local division of the U. N. I. A., one of which carried the colors of the association, the Red, Black and Green, in the form of a banner, while the Black Cross Nurses of the U. N. I. A. opened columns for them to pass. The standard-bearer was Mr. G A Faber, treasurer of the advisory board with Measre, C W Thomas and S. B. Sergeant, also of the advisory board of the U N I. A, was given a seat on the platform. The distinguished guests were too numerous to mention. Among them were the Hone, R E Frasington, F Dlasa, P N Browney, K I E, F E Stirkland, H E P B Pruhning, A R F Webel, R Dr T T Nicholls A Crane, H Durant and H Critchlow founder and secretary-treasurer of the British Guiana Labor Union). According to the communications received the following invited guests were unable to be present. The Hon. Hector Josepha, attorney general, Hon. Nascentimo, Mayor, Messra, A. A Thorne, M. A, A. M. Ogle, C. Ferrar, president of the chamber of commerce, F. C. Low, secretary of the Chinese Association, Reva, W. Ratray and J. Dingwall, Mr. C. Androws presided in an able manner, and the devotional exercises were conducted by Brother C Trontman, who preached a sermon on Exodus III, 15 and 61, in which he made known the fact that God, who is the Father and Friend of the univeshe, has ordained a modern Moses to lead his people of Ethiopia and that it is the duty of all to lift up the standard of righteousness and be guided by His hand. All eyes were concentrated on Dr. Tubitt, the second speaker, as he rose at the call of the chairman in the midst of prolonged and repeated plaudits. Bowing gracefully he briefly responded to the welcome message of a leader, Mr. Critchlow, for having successfully reached the third milestone in their worthy organization, and assuring them that they cannot all be leaders. If they must achieve their aim, he said he was present to represent the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League, which includes the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, irrespective of nationality. No doubt they had heard it was a Back to Africa Movement. He would assure them, however, that everybody was not wanted in Africa. They only needed Negroes with intelligence and backbone, for if they cherish the idea that the Africans are ignorant people they are mistaken. There are men in Africa who had been to London Cambridge and Oxford universities and won the highest degrees conferred by those institutions of learning. He declared that Garveyism has noaint of Bolshevism in intent or act it is a builder and supporter of good government and not a destroyer of such and in support of his statement he read the preamble and objects of the U N I A, which the succeeding speakers endorsed as being worthy and desirable. The Doctor further stated that he found that in some places the U N I A movement was misunderstood on account of its falling into the hands of ignorant and incapable individuals of his own race who misrepresented the aims of the association, and then throw the blame on alien races. The U N I A. seeks to uplift the down-trodden people of the Negro race educationally, industrially, commercially and otherwise, since that in order to receive the respect and recognition of other races they must measure up to their standard at least. It had been said that the Negro has no flag. He hardly needed one, since the pyramids and mummies stand as a monument for all times as the work of the African He added, at last through the instrumentality of the Hon Marcus Garvey, whom God has called to lead his people, the Negro has a flag, the Red, Black and Green The red is symbolic of the rich, red blood bequeathed to us by our noble forefathers and which now pulsates our veins, the black is emblematic of our sable color of which every true Negro whether of a light or dark shade is proud, and the green is significant of the sacred pledge we made before Almighty God to work for the uplift of our race and to over keep green in our memory the emerald fields of Mother Africa. Mr. Browne's Cander The Hon. P. N. Browne, K. C., who was one of the succeeding speakers, voiced the sentiments of all present, irrespective of race or color, when he said that it was the first opportunity he had of listening to the explaining of the Marcus Garvey propaganda and the objects of the U. N. L. A. as enunciated by Dr. Tobit that afternoon were desirable, as there was nothing in them. Inflicted to the Interest, Dr. Tobit, the Writer, Describes. EL'PORVENIR SPANISH HONDURAS U. N. L. A. ACQUIRES NEW AND SPACIOUS LIBERTY HALL EL'PORVENIR SPANISH HONDURAS U. N. L. A. ACQUIRES NEW AND SPACIOUS LIBERTY HALL On Sunday, February 8, the regular weekly meeting of Charter No. 116, Le Colba, was deferred, as all members desired to visit the Forwern branch when their new and spacious Liberty Hall would be opened and dedicated to the cause of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. The national Ethiopian anthem, being sung in the most spirited manner, brought in members, visitors and spectators from every corner at 2 p. m. sharp. The regular ceremony for the occasion was ably conducted by Mr. Phillips, chaplain of No. 116. With the singing of many appropriate hymns and 12 sing are prayers, the devotional and preliminary part of the meeting, was ended. Mr Ivey, in introducing the master of ceremonies, said it is through the sacrifice of the entire membership and special interest of Measra J. White and Joseph Dilbert that such a hall could be acquired. Telling of the unwerving efforts made, he encouraged each and every member to work in like manner for the cause of the U. N. I. A. Addresses were heard from the following Measra. Watson, first vice-president Engleton, second vice-president Forsik, general secretary, Carter, treasurer, Phillips, chaplain, Yearwood, Brooks, Nelson and Chie, also Mrs. Pixley, Mrs. Williams and Miss Hendrick. The program was a lengthy one, and it was to the regret of all present when it had to be curtailed for the convenience of visiting members and friends, who had to make ready to leave on the 5 p. train. In the many addresses were very bright examples as a request or race consciousness and love. Mr. Forsik, general secretary, read the preamble from the constitution, also history of the association's growth, as contained in calendar for 1922, and along with his usual encraging remarks invited inactive members of the race to come into fold. Mr Yearwood's very interesting address ended with the letters C. D. L. Explaine. Come, do and love. Hence. Into into the fold of the U. N. L. A. Do all you can for the U. N. L. A. and love with true heart the U. N. I. A. Messra. Brooks' and Nelson's were encouragement to officers and members of the branch, congratulations to the choir and a general wish to go forward. The former had cause to mention the words of the national anthem "The Nation's Faille" who Smote Thee, etc." His definition brought pleasure to all present. Mr Carter's admonition seemed to have touched every visitor, who gazed as if willing to catch and retain every word. Higgins, an anatomist appoin­bond for about twenty minutes. He likened the Negro's condition to that of the children of Israel, giving historical examples. He further said Joseph, having been old, saved his people, and the Negroes, having been sold, in like manner, save their race from oblivion. He concluded his address by encouraging one aim and one determination so that the desire and may be reached before ong A song rendered by Mrs. William. "Stand Up Speak for Garvey" was well applauded, also address and song of Mrs. Pikley. But one of the most interesting items of the program for the evening was the presentation of flowers by officers of No. 116 Colba to the president of the El Foriervian branch of the same charter to Mr T A Sinclair, with the following words. "In confidence we take pleasure in presenting you these flowers as a token of that love and unity which exists between the membership of charter No. 116 La Colba and its branch lore in Porvenir. We admonish you to keep, nourish and cherish them, and prove yourself worthy of the confidence and trust, even as president of this branch Mr Sinclair answered in beating words and promised to do his best with the help of God. The choir contributed largely to the evening's enjoyment A costly flag of the colors was given by Mr Engleton. The occasion was that which brought together the largest crowd of Negroes ever seen in E Porvenir, and very much praised awarded the ladies and other officers who contributed to the occasion.

Garvey and Singh and articles pertaining to the natives in Africa. He explained the aims and objects of the association, and in conclusion he said "The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the greatest and best movement for Negroes. Governments are in fear of the U. N. I. A. Those who have stolen Africa from the Africans and are oppressing them both at home and abroad, know that through Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. Africa will be controlled only by Africans at home and abroad, united and free. The Negro enemies have tried their best to bring about the downfall of the U. N. I. A. in Dominica, but in vain. They don't know of what stuff the New Negro is made. They have been anxiously awaiting our downfall and they are now getting tired. The thoughts of certain wizards are now conflicting with their brains, certain preachers of the gospel are now agents of the devil and certain politicians are politically but, the U. N. I. A. is growing stronger. All other oppressed people are determined to be free, why should the Negro be satisfied of being continually oppressed? Support the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Negro must be determined to fight his way through hell-fire ill Africa is free. The fight is in fear not! We are determined that Africa shall be free! We are determined that the Red, Black and Green shall float in the breeze on the highest peak in Africa. We are determined that Negroes shall no longer be slaved (applaus)." The people listened attentively to the various articles read and addressed delivered. The Ethiopian National Anthem was heartily sung Meeting with 60 80 members and the members left with smiling faces determined that the work must go on. Miscellaneous News The sum of £53 5s (over $250) was collected in about a fortnight to be forwarded to Princess Mary—daughter of the King and Queen of England—as a wedding gift. We understand that it is the intention of the Princess to turn over whatever gifts she receives to the various hospitals in England. We all know charity begins at home and trust that the people in Dominica will be likewise looked out for. Are we not in need of a better hospital? What about the many fortunate children roaming about the streets of Rosaua half naked, who tomorrow may turn out to be beggars, idiots and thieves? What about finance and employment in Dominica? Is not everybody complaining of the hard times—work no money? Is any step being taken to improve Dominica and its inhabitants from ruin?

The flag procession marching to the strains of "Onward Christian Soldiers," was given attention until the Red, the Black and the Green unfurled beneath the glittering lighta while eager eyes mirrored the dream of Africa, redeemed. The meeting was then declared open for business by the Hon. Thomas W. Anderson, Commissioner for the State of Louisiana, who impressed upon the minds of the loyal members the importance of living up to the laws of the constitution, and that no deviation, therefore would be tolerated. He then required each member to stand and take the oath of allegiance to the Red, the Black and the Green and cause of African redemption. The awaited tour was at hand! In solemn attitude Commissioner Anderson declared all offices vacant and a hush fell over the throng while the nominating committees filed out to the anti-rooms, to deliberate. During the reces, Mr. William N Phillips, executive secretary, and Mrs. Neilie H Crawford Uter were kept very busy receiving the many dollars and cents that poured in from those members who were unfinancial and could not enter the meeting until they paid up their dues to date. The nominating committees appointed were as follows. Committee on Officers for Male Division—A. G. Crawford, chairman; Frank Johnson, Louis Clarke, Fred C. Dyer, Eugene Baptiste. Committee on Officers for Ladies Division—Mrs. Hattie Burrell, chairlady, Miss Christina Adolphus, Miss Melvinia Butter, Miss Louronia Wright, Miss Iselabella Lewis. Committee on Boards and Auxilaries—Marshall Crawford, chairman; Miss Myrte Baptiste. Richard Towles. Committee on Black Cross Unit—Mrs. Annie Newman, chairdry: Mrs. Beaulah McDonald, Mra. Theresa Flemming. The reports of said committees were received separately which resulted in the following officers being elected: the following officers being elected: T. A. Robinson president; F. H. Crawford, Mrs. general secretary; Hiram J. Workman, assistant general secretary; Mrs. Mamie Reason, treasurer; Rev. F. D. Diamond, chaplain; Mrs. Emily Clarke, lady president; Mrs. Helen Thomas, first lady vice-president; Mrs. Isabella Lewis, second lady vice-president; Mrs. Annie Anderson, third lady vice-president; Miss Doris Bush, general secretary; Ladies Division—Miss Hattie Burr, ll, treasurer of Ladies' Division; Miss Filiabeth P Sutton, head nurse, Black Cross Nurses; Miss Christina Adolphus, secretary Black Cross Nurses; L. J. Davis, chairman of Trustee Board; A. G. Crawford, chairman of Honorable Advisory Board; Richard Towina, president of choir The New Orleans Division appears roseate with promise and pregnant with splendid hope. We are determined to work harder than ever before so as to present a splendid report at the convention in August and prove to the parent body that the work of the Hon. W Anderson, Commissioner of Louisiana, and Mr. William Phillips, executive secretary, has not been in vain for they have worked assiduously with us. Our days of tribulation have come to an end the shadow of the wilderness is no longer upon us. We have explicit faith in Marcus Garvey and unshaken confidence in every plan he puts forth, and we are determined that he shall have faith in us. NELLIE H. CRAWFORD UTER General Secretary N. O.

C. i) Us fs ety --- Feb 19, 1922. This Sunday found the members of the L. N. L. A. seated in a large hall capable of seating 2,000 people, there were a number of people present who were not members. A procession containing a great number of Legions, Motor Corps, Juveniles, Black Cross Nurse's, choir members and other officers marched down the aisles while the band played "Onward, Christian Soldiers." After this procession had assembled on the stage the meeting was opened by singing the opening ode. From Greenland's Ice Mountains, and prayer in concert by the Chaplain and a selection by the choir. After the people were seated the President of the Cincinnati Division explained why these big meetings were being held. After making his remarks he then presented the first on the program a poem by Miss Priscilla Smith, and she received hearty applause from the audience. Next on the program was an original poem by Miss Bettie Hutchenson, who always makes the people happy then the choir and the band rendered many good selections. The next presented to the people was His Excellency the Right Honorable J W H Eason, the American leader. He made a remarkable and wonderful speech or oration, and I am quite sure Edgar Allan Poe could not have beaten this wonderful speech or oration. After making such a noble oration, he then began to raise the collection with the help of the Motor Corps and Nurses, the band in the meantime playing a number of pieces including "The Sheik of Araby" and "The Mystery." This band was conducted by Mr. Bert Furgeon an expert cornet player and a master of other instruments. The speaker of the afternoon was Rt Hon F A Touche the Secretary General who took for his subject Visions and bell the people spellbound white he delivered one of the most interesting observations that ever fell from the lips of a black man. While meaking, he touched the Red Black and Green and Green, and Men may come and men may go, but the U N A shall prosper forever. On the night of the same date this meeting was carried out the same way, and words cannot express how well this meeting was conducted. ROBERTA DILLION A member of the Juveniles of Cincinnati Division No. 146. G. E. CARTER ADDRESSES THE JERSEY CITY U. N. I. A. The coming to our division of Mr G Emouel Carter on Sunday, February 19th, was a very rare treat to this community as well as to our little division. We had Mr Carter as a man of rare ability. Every division in this great organization should at least have him visit them as much as once if no more. He soon spread his psychological mantle over the audience under which each one felt spellbound When a race or a nation can boast of having such able men as part of it that race or that nation is blessed, I am compelled to wonder how can a part of the Negro race remain in a state of semi consciousness under such a storm of oligocentral appeals as can be let loose by the dignified Mr Carter. He has succeeded in convincing all those who heard him of the necessity of the Negro playing an important part in the role of racial achievements. He pointed out that the basis of earthly greatness remains unalterable and the nation which expects to make the mark must strike quick and sure. The time for the manhood and power of the Negro race to rise and exert itself is now. We are aware of the fact that the Negro has been lying at the pool for lo' these five hundred years waiting for the troubling of the water and we realize that God has sent his angel. Marcus Garvoy, from the islands of the sea and he has stirred the water and as the blind Negroes rise and wash their faces the scales fall from their eyes. With many more such men as Mr Carter the four hundred millions of Negroes will soon look toward their mother country with a rising hope and a steel determination to convert Africa into one vast Negro republic under which Negroes can thrive and enjoy their being. We are beginning to discern upon the horizon after spending a long, dreadful night the morning red of a brighter and a grander future for the oppressed Negro people of the world. Our division in Jersey City has decided to spend and be spent for the nims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and a free and redeemed Africa shall forever be our cry, until the scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia shall set their feet in the pathway that leads from a state of penal servitude to a state of absolute emancipation. We are well mindful of the fact that liberty cannot be obtained in a single day, and no one should be so childish. g. to think on Lives of heroes should serve as guides and landmarks to the Negro to assure him he is on the right path to a complete freedom. When future history is written its pages must be filled with the achievements of the Negro. We believe in the matchless leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and shall follow him until true Democracy is written upon the foreheads of the multimillions of Negroes and Indians and fair play is stamped upon every bubble that floats upon the spring tide of the River Nile. I beg to remain loyal to the cause of racial redemption. J. B. SUTTON, President. Jersey City, N. J. Div U N I A. Feb. 22, 1922. THE U. N. I. A. IN GEORGETOWN, DEMERARA Thursday night's meeting will be a memorable one to all who had the pleasure of being present. The High Commissioner, the Hon. Dr. R. H. Tobitt, demonstrated to the public of British Guiana his capability in dealing judiciously with the affairs of the local division of the U N I. A. and A. C. L. as conducted during the presidency of Mr. George S. Primo and the secretaryship of Mr. E. Montigue Seaton. He openly declared that after putting matters on a proper basis eight months ago, with an advisory board to assist the president in carrying the affairs of the division to a successful issue he returned to find matters in chaos and as for the management of the financial side it points to either two conclusions—lack of proper business acumen or wanton betrayal of the peoples confidence on the part of two officers mentioned above and their clique, and were it not for the faithful and honest few this branch of the U N I A would have been a thing of the past. Thanks to the men of foresight, loyalty grit and backbone who came to the rescue at the opportune moment and helped to save the situation—among these worthy individuals must be mentioned the names of Dr J E Fraser chairman of the board, Mr C W Thomas, of the parent body, Mr George Fuber, present treasurer, Mr H. Borgeant, acting chairman of the board and Mrs Sophia Benjamin, lady president and late of the New York local The doctor congratulated the former treasurer, Mr. Mason, and his assistant, and Miss Richards, treasurer of one of the branches, for being able to give an honest and satisfactory account of their stewardship as they were able to give an account of every penny that passed through their hands. The doctor assured all present that he was determined to bring all crooks to account if they do not make good or die in the attempt, in order to keep unsuilled the honorable prestige of the I N I A and to re-establish the confidence of the people in such a righteous cause. The doctor publicly declared that he understood from good authority that there was a certain school in the City of Georgetown that was operating in a manner to mislead the public as being a school of the U. N I A. This association has no school in this colony and does not teach race hatred, but rather love towards all mankind as embodied in its watchword, "The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." The High Commissioner then spoke at length on the subject of "Leadership," which may appear in later issue of this paper. Mr Critchlow, secretary-treasurer of the labor union, was present and also spoke and called on members of the labor union who were eligible to join the U N I A and A C L on the invitation of the doctor, as the U N I A, and A C L, being universal, includes all associations, lodges, clubs, etc. operated by the people of his race - The Tribune Georgetown, Demerara.

Moralea Electrifies Vast Crowd with His Eloquence Feb. 19, 1922 What was really a big time for the members of Deloitte Division No. 4728, U N L A., was the occasion of the visit of His Hon. E. V Morales, High Commissioner for Cuba, on the evening of February 7, 12 and 18. From early evening the crowd wended their way towards Liberty Hall to hear the inspired words of the honorable gentleman The meeting commenced at 5 p.m. After the opening ceremonies the acting President, Bro H E. F. Flannagan, introduced His Hon E V Morales, High Commissioner for Cuba, who took for his subject Racial Pride. He took his hearers back to the ancient Negroes and their greatness, and showed us many comparisons where the race is excelling, and pleaded for unity among the race. He also pointed to his hearers the way in which to support our operation, and also pointed out to us how the enemies are at work trying to defeat the cause. He said that if it that every drop of his blood, Africa must be rodeed—give me liberty or give me death. You can see in the speaker his determination and the forceful way in which he held the audience. We thank the Hon. Marcus Garvey for sending us such an illustrious son of Africa as our High Commissioner for with such men in the lead victory is sure. He also addressed the Cubans and, from the interest aviced, gave much satisfaction. If E FLANAGAN, Acting President. VIVIANA BAMUEL. General Secretary. Central Delicias, Oriente, Cuba. LITERARY CLUB, U. N. L. A. MONTREAL DIVISION LITERARY CLUB, U. N. L. A. MONTREAL DIVISION --- March 1, 1922. The Literary Club, U. N. L. A., Montreal Division held its regular weekly meeting at 243 St. Antioine street, on Tuesday February 28. M Hall chairman. The assistant journalist acting as secretary. The quotations in answer to names at roll call were very impressive. The chairman made two lengthy addresses both of which for the greater part rang the glories of the president of the division—whilst he spoke a stranger would mistake this meeting as a political campaign and the chairman a whip. The president and the lady president of the division were present. The latter who is an active member of the Literary, and they both addressed the former on Patriotism and what he expected to see that evening at the club. The other on unity and in an appeal to encourage members of the race to activity in the club and the division At 9:15 p.m. the meeting was handed over to the teacher, M H Nanton—who taught in French from 9:15 to 10:15 p.m., in English from 10:15 to 11 p.m. The school is progressing and it seems to me if management and service instead of parliament and sentiment be planted in its backbone we have before us the seed of the First Colored University to be established in Montreal. What is to prevent the expansion of the Night School teachings of this club to develop into a regular night school? What is to prevent it growing into a day school for children? Almost has the teachers among Negroes! It also has the need for education amongst Negroes. Present economic pressure renders it difficult for launching out in 'big' but the fact remains that the need is! Need has made man, whilst in prison who desired to escape think that because the four angles of the prison walls were equal the opposite sides were equal and parallel. And again because he could see the shadow of a tree he was not surrounded by water With these facts he built his escape from prison Therefore the Negro of Montreal imprisoned within the walls of ignorance if he desires to escape will think of the solution of the support of a school, and, because he knows there is a means to plot through economic pressure he will find a means to build his school in the endeavor to escape from the prison of ignorance V C M LANGTON. Reporter Literary Club, U N I A. Montreal Canada GREETINGS FROM PORTLAND ORE. DIVISION 391 Sunday, February 19, was a banner day for our division. A splendid program, with Brother G M Payne in charge, was carried out. Mr D R C. Olliver rendered a beautiful saxophone selection with Miss Hampson accompanist. Mr J Hasell gave a violin selection which proved him master of his instrument, with Miss Idris Williams at the piano. Mr Payne, who has a wonderful baritone voice, sang "The Old Sexton," as he alone can sing it, and then our lady president, Mrs J. R. Charleston, introduced little Edna Alice Thomas, who recited the last verse of Liberty Hall's latest hymn, which was perfectly lovely for a Miss of only five summers. Then Master Gordon Thomas and Elizabeth Marie Thomas, with their sister Edna, presented the division a beautiful pennant of Red, Black and Green. Then little Estella Patterson recited "The Land of Africa." The pennant was given by the ladies of the Universal Home Club an auxiliary to furnish the flag and all the colors of Red, the Black and Green. MRS C. JAMISON, President. MISS C.

Building "A WORD OF RECOMMENDATION AND SUPPORT" "A WORD OF RECOMMENDATION AND SUPPORT" Mr A. C. Motley, President U. N. I. A. Division, Bellize, British Honduras. Sir —Reading the report of the above mentioned division, and as a former resident in the various localities of Central America, I somehow take great interest in the happenings and reports of the several branches of the U. N. I. A. in these parts, and am curious to learn what they are doing and how much progress they are making. Therefore, it is with no small amount of appreciation and enthusiasm that I herald broadcast to every branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the grandest and most helpful suggestion yet made by any branch of the association, which appears in the Negro World of March 4, 1922, in the seventh paragraph of the report, under the caption "U. N. L. A. Exhibition, British Honduras," suggesting the promotion of communal conferences or local conventions whereby a closer unity of purpose may be obtained. I cannot in words emphasize the magnitude and importance underlying the potentialities to be realized from this suggestion, therefore it must not be treated lightly. Why not send a special letter addressed to the Registrar at headquarters and further communicate the matter to some of the other divisions, seeking their co-operation for the coming convention? The situation confronting this organization for the present is the tardiness of cooperative spirit in communal or rural sections. I may take the liberty at this time to emphasize the necessity and importance of divisions electing the best brains among them to represent them in our international convention, as we cannot any longer use delegates who merely come to listen. The convention in future can only use men fully instructed by their divisions and conveying such helpful recommendations as will suggest new thoughts coming from these outlying divisions. Remember that co-operative spirit cannot any longer rely on any one source for all instructions or suggestions for putting over a mighty program. We as a race have remained divided and indole too long, hence losing the power of initiative in any helpful way of making even a suggestion. Therefore, realizing this laxity among us, I cannot other than place a high regard on the wonderful foresight and creditable suggestion coming from Bellie, and sincerely hope that every division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will awake in the full strength of their usefulness, lending their thoughts in the various forms of supporting and strengthening this, our most grand and noble association. Then, and then only, by uniting our forces financially and otherwise, can we hope to assist to nurture our mother the Red, the Black and the Green, on the hilltops of our motherland, Africa Sincerely yours, another of Marcus Garvey's admirers.

Sing of that long and golden age Of Negro thought and fame: When son of Ham on history's page Inscribe's splendid name Sing of the maids far and wide, Torn from their mothers' breasts. And thrown along the river side With blood stains on their breasts Sing of the maidens bound in chains. And dragged from shore to shore The pangs, the heartaches and the pains. The shackles stained with gore Bing of the folk with muscles bent, With sobs that chilled the sod The humble prayers that upward went, And moved the soul of God. The hope that braced the shattered heart, The mind that braved the will, The glint that flacked the darksome path, And beckoned to the hill The morn when Freedom graced the air And kissed a struggling race-- When spring-day blossoms fresh and fair Adorned the rugged place Bing of the hour when, bathed in blood We'll soar a happier band Amid the storm above the flood That surges o'er the land Great peaks with springs of water clear And oil to bathe our feet.

WILMINGTON, DEL., DIVISION BURIES ITS FIRST FINANCIAL MEMBER Wilmington Division No. 83, Delaware, paid its last tribute and respect to Brother John Lee Caldwell, of 1913 Liberia street, on Tuesday, the 28th instant, its first financial member to be called away to the better land. Brother Caldwell was just entering on his sixteenth birthday when the hand of death stopped him The deceased was a loyal member of the U N I A. and was particularly interested in the Universal African Legions. He was admired and held in much esteem by all those who came in contact with him. The funeral procession was very impressive. Wending its way through Liberia street at 2:15 p. m. it turned solemnly into Union street, sheena on to St. Peter's Church, where the burial sermon was preached by How Walker. The church was packed to overflowing with members of the association and friends of the deceased. The Legions under Lieutenant Walker acted as palibearera. Immediately behind the mourners were to be seen the Hon. S. A. Haynes, State Commissioner, and Mrs. Nora Wynn, lady president, followed by the Black Cross Nurses and Legions. The president and other officers awaited the procession at the church. Rev T W Ware, undertaker and musical director of the choir, had the burial in charge. The only resolution read was that of the State Commissioner expressing regret on behalf of His Excellency, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, and the officers and members of Wilmington Division No. 83 The Division extends its sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell in their loss. ALBERTA WILLIAMS. Wilmington, Del. NEWS ITEMS FROM PORTLAND, ORE., DIVISION. No. 391 We had a fine program, with Mrs. H. N. Triplett in charge. Miss Alberta Mayo sang a lovely song nad was compelled to answer the encore. Mrs. Triplett delighted the audience with a piano solo. The Excelsior quartette was indeed excellent. Little irene Patterson recited a poem to the colors, the Red, the Black and the Green, which caused a storm of applause. Our Lady President recited "Dare and Do," which was well chosen at this time, when there is so much strife. Our Vice-President claimed that he was not an orator, but his oration was splendid and to the point. He finished by saying, "Put God first. Keep faith in our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey." (Applause.) We felt the absence of those who are ill and unable to be with us. The "fid" has caused our meetings to be very poorly attended for the past two weeks. We have several members on the sick list. Mrs. J. W. Ingersol is improving after a severe illness. Our Mother President, Miss Lenora Henderson, is quite sick at this writing. Miss Jane Mays is suffering with a cold. Mrs. C. H. Jamison, one of our most ardent workers, is indisposed. There is quite an epidemic of colds among our members. A GREETING FROM CON- CORDIA, HAVANA, CUBA February 28. 1922. Dear Sir and Brother—I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 50th tilt, re our "African Redemption Fund," and to assure you, our honorable and indecentible leader, that you shall have my whole-hearted support as long as I live; and even though 4-10 may take you from us before our hopes are realized, yet the ideals you have set up shall be charished by me until I too, fall beneath the sickle of Time. Cuba, as you well know, is in an economic slough, and we Negroes are deepest in the mire, but this shall not hinder my endeavor to the best of my ability to solicit funds for the redemption of our Motherland, even though I be given a dime at a time. In expressing my unshaken faith in your integrity I am but voicing the sentiments not only of the Havana Division, it of Negroes in general in this Republic. Fear not, noble leader, for so persecuted they the prophets and priest. Right will ultimately triumph. I have the honor to remain, my dear keen-eyed honest and fearless leader. Yours for Negro improvement. WALTER W. WHYTE, WEST AFRICAN MISSIONARY, IS SOUGHT BY HIS BROTHER Mr Jamca P Whyte, of Cristobal, Canal Zone, P R R. Co. Pier No. 8, a member of the U.

I was walking up in the market, trict and I counted ten stores using the above named papers to wrap rabbits and mullets and other fish. It reminded me of a song that my uncle used to sing, entitled "My Soul Wants Something That's New" The Negro World sells like wildfire. No dealer can keep enough on hand. They are sold on the street corners and everywhere. I have yet to see the first Negro World lying on the street. P. S.—The Negro looks to the U. N. I.

With the wings of morning, Thou dost softly scar To the realms of Eden. Where no biflows roar. Thou art always tender, As the breath of spring; Blushing roses render, And their tributes bring. How we love to hear thee, When thy harpstrings thrill How we yearn to see thee, And the cup to fill! Always give us freely Of thy God-blast store; We are weak and needy, And our hearts are sure. While we pant, refresh us With thy breathings mild; And with honey insious Feed the fainting child Early in the morning We shall wait thy smile; Thou art mercy dawning— Nature's darling child.

Unión Universal de Los Pueblos Negros es la Prédica Del Presidente General de Nuestra Organización— Presaglamos un Futuro Mas Brillante—Nada Podrá Entorpecer el Triunfo de Una Causa Justificada— Unámonos en el Mundo Entero Acontece una vez en la vida del individuo, raza o nacimiento el que se deba decidir el curso que haya de perseguirse durante su existencia. La hora ha llegado en que el Negro como individualidad y como raza decida el curso que haya de perseguir en beneficio de su propia libertad. Los que constituimos La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra estamos determinados a seguir adelante. Estamos determinados a remover toda barrera colocada como obstáculo en el camino de nuestro progreso, por ser nuestro deseo el ver la luz de un día más brillante. Durante los últimos cuatro y medio años nuestra organización ha venido proclamando al mundo entero que el Negro está lista para delinearse por sí mismo, su propio camino en el curso de su vida. Hombres de otras razas y de otras naciones se han alarmado con la actitud del Negro del presente, en el deseo de desarrollarse propiamente. Esta alarma universal ha tomado tales proporciones, que organizaciones han sido constituidas con el objeto de destruir este movimiento de avance de nuestra raza. Propaganda aquí, allá mas allá ha sido esparcida con el propósito de malinterpretar la intención de esta organización. Algunos dicen que nos hemos organizado con el objeto de crear discordia y descontento entre las razas; otros dicen que nos hemos organizado con la intención de odiar a otros pueblos, pero toda persona sensata y de algun entendimiento sabe que no es tal la intención de nuestra organización. Nos hemos organizado con el absoluto propósito de mejorar nuestra condición industrial, comercial, social religiosa y no religiosa; nos hemos organizado, no con el objeto odiar a otros, sino con el objeto de elevarnos y demandar respeto de la humanidad en general. Poseemos un programa el cual creemos legal; el cual creemos justo y estamos decididos a caer en el altar del sacrificio por la realización de esta nuestra esperanza, basada en un principio fundamental. Declaramos ante el mundo que el Africa sea libre; declaramos ante el mundo que la raza negra en general sea emancipada de la explotación, de la servidumbre; no establecemos compromisos ni haremos rectificaciones en esta declaración nuestra. No es nuestro deseo el iniciar mencias que perjudiquen a las otras razas, pero es nuestra determinación el que se nos escuche y el que se nos den los derechos a los cuales somos acreedores. Debemos realizar que en nuestro hombros descansa nuestro destino; nuestro futuro. Tenemos que luchar por eso destino; por ese futuro. La oposición a nuestro ideal nios hara trabajar con mas ahinco; nos unirá mas y como un solo hombre hemos de marchar hacia ese destino que hemos delineado para nosotros mismos. El Negro del presente no será burlado; el Negro del presente rehusa recibir consejos de parte de aquellos que no han sentido como el, ni han sufrido como el. Solamente el esclavo puede interpretar los sufrimientos del esclavo; solamente el infortunado puede interpretar el sentir del hermano infortunado; solamente el Negro que haya sufrido podrá interpretar el espíritu de su camarada. Causa extraña el interés que demuestran actualmente otras razas en los asuntos de la nuestra, deseosas de instruirnos en el modo como debemos de actuar, escomendarnos la organización a la cual debemos pernecer y el director que debemos patrocinar; sinembargo, hace doscientos cincuenta años nadie se ocupaba de los asuntos del Negro, sino para esclavizarlo y explotarlo. Mientras nos acercamos al borde de un futuro mas brillante, experimentamos un perifodo peligroso durante cual debemos aceptar la verdadera filosofia o caer perseguidos, por una propaganda malévola que nos ha usado por varias decadas. Mientras que por medio de muestras virtudes cristianas esperamos lograr entrada en el Parniso, realizamos que vivimos en la Tierra y lo que none en prática en el uno, no se practica en la otra. Como ley de compensación, tenemos que tratar al mundo como esto nos ha tratado; vivimos en una edad mental, en una edad de actividad, en una edad de desarrollo de razas. Corresponda a los cuanos altos de Negro del mundo el tomar una medida una pasto determinado que nos proporclone una forma mayor, tra la posición de ser una raza emancipada libre de antagonismos, con una constitución un gobierno proplamente organizado, que THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. MARCH 11. 1922 En Pro de Nuestro Movimiento Como observador de las evoluciones politicas en sus distintas esferas estoy en el invencimiento de que el mundo de los oprimidos se mueve actualmente a paso agagiante en solicitud de su razonable emancipación, a la cual somos acredores todos y cada uno de los miembros de esta gran familia humana por medio de una ley sagrada de la madre Naturaliza Corresponde a los elementos de nuestra raza el permanecer en nucleo conjunto, de manera que podamos resolver más fácilmente, el problema de la redención de nuestra madre patra, de dejando de ser por ese medio, los únicos nartures del planeta que habíamos. La emancipación de ese vastismo continentahe de surger la razon logica de que sus hijos no han nacido con el pronostico fin de tener que soportar por siempre el yugo de una reprime humillacion. Con ese objeto La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra viene trabajando contacto de trabajo en la preparación del Negro para la adquisition de nuestra apetecida ibera, la cual ha de quedar afianza en la honestidad y buen deseo de los pueblos Negros del mundo El elama de "Africa para los africanos" no es simplemente una política de razas; es también una formula social, como lo es el de "America para los americanos." Asa para los asatarios y 'Europa para los europeos.' Es consiguiente el que nos afrontemos con dificultades, arrojadas a nuestro paso quizas por nuestros propios hermanos, pero estas han de afectar en muy poco el sentimiento que prevalece hacia nuestro ideal. Queda esto demostrado en los milares de comunicaciones dirigidas al Honorable Presidente-General, de los diferentes Estados de la Union, tributandole un voto mas de confianza y reviestandle con el honor y respeto que el se ha hecho acreedor. La fe que prevalece en las distintas divisions hacia el Honorable Marcus Garvey, no es objeto de mera simpata sino reconocimiento por la ardua labor por el ejecutada. Que individuo registra la historia haya congregado, en un corto espacio de tiempo, millones de seres de distintas nacionalidades, religiones e idiomas, en una organización, basada en un solo ideal? Es mi dober, como miembro de la raza, el llamar la atención de todos aquellos que aun no han considerado los fines de este grupo motiviertes, que este la de ser el unico medio por el cual hemos de poner fin al estado vejaminoso de nuestra raza por mas de doscientos cincuenta años. Esta incertidumbre ha de convertirse, por medio cooperation con La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, en una amplia realizad, pues la libertad no sera obtensa por aquellos que la mendiguen sino por los que esten preparados a conquistarla. Por algún tiempo hemos oído hablar del peligro amarillo, actualmente se habla del peligro negro. Qué hemos de decir en los inquisidores blancos? Tales peligros despaercen del globen en que vivimos, cuando cesen las ambiciones coloniales. Urge grandemente la afiliaction a la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra; la constitution de divisions de esta en todas partes a la mayor brevedad possible, para asi cumplir con el deber que nos correponde, emancipandos y emancipando aquellos que en nuestra madre patria el Africa, sufren aun los rigores de la tierra esclavizada.

La Bondad Del Gobernador Reilly El Presidente ha hecho saber que el tiene una alta estimación por el gobierno Reilly de Puerto Rico y cree que sus antecedentes son enteramente honorables. Mr Harding es bueno para con sus amigos, pero su excelencia y la excelencia de estos no es precisamente el asunto de que se trata. La cuestion es que el gobierno Reilly puede ser un santo, un sabio y un heroe en una pieza, ha hecho un embroilo evidente de la confianza que le le concedida. De ella conflita za depende la felicidad de mas de un million de puertorriqueños y el prestigio del gobierno americano. Bondade de corazón y antecedentes honorables nada tienen que ver con el asunto en cuestion, se trata de fracao que ha resultado de la gestion de Reilly. A un general que haya puesto a su ejercito en peligro, no se le pregunta si es un hombre de buenos antecedentes, a ese general se manda simplemente a su casa. Las mismas reglas deben ser aplicadas a un gobernador nombrado para regir los destinos de un pueblo protejido. Cuando este ha fracasado debe retrarse, sea lo que quiera y lo que se pense de sus condiciones personales —N. Y. World El Comisionado de Puerto Rico Pide a la Camara Que Pedir Sea Suministro El Hon Felix Cordova Dávila, Comisionado en Washington, hara presentación oclinal de varios cargos que el declara hacen inadecuado al actual gobernador de Puerto Rico para desempeñar el puesto El Hon Comisionado Davila también urgiría que el congreso emprende una investigación de la situación en general El representante Campbell de Kansas ha presentado actualmente un proyecto de ley en que se provee para Puerto Rico el gobierno autonomo, siendo de opinion que solo la concession de un gobierno autonomo a Puerto Rico, resolverá la actual situación política. El Veintidos de Marzo en Puerto Rico Fecha incomprensible para algunos Fecha bochornoa para los de Abajo y para los de Arriba Fecha gloriosa para aquellos espiritus de alto vuelo en las regiones del altruismo . . . Fecha apocalipteia que commenora un proceso revindicando de una raza . . . Fecha enlutada para unos pocos predestinados del pigmento. VEINTIDOS DE MARZO para el pueblo de Puerto Rico adocele de una aureola; le falta el numbe que rodea a las fechas patras, eminentemente consentidas y estimuladas por la conciencia de todo un pueblo VEINTIDOS DE MARZO no tiene la subimidad de la que es unico como anal histórico es muy complejo, como necesidad sociológica es una negativa viviente de todo principio de etica; es negación rotunda de la Moral Social. VEINTIDOS DE MARZO es un agente psicologico que viene a desorientar el nivel de cultura por conseguir y desvirtuar as el equilibrio que buscas actualmente, por ley evolutiva. VEINTIDOS DE MARZO, al hacer su aparición en el templo da la historia patria, debe ser presentado ante la conciencia pública del pueblo puertorriqueño con caracteres muy prominentes, resguardada esta fecha por dos grusos siglos interrogativos y poyuna ser de puntos en asuspension que cierren el capitulo que le daceo en el cinema de los episodios patrios . . .

Ambos debe algar el alvido los tristes acontecimientos de una epoca y vivir para el presente. Lo importante, lo natural, l y logico e este VELINTIDOS DE MARZO de 1922 y en los venideros, es que, aparte de los conveniionales privativos que tenga, tu hombre blanco y tu, hombre de color, debe actuar ahi en es terrufo de todos como verdaderos puertorquefosos, en todo aquello que a la dignidad, civismos y respeito patrio concierma.

El Espectro Mahometno Hay vecindadas que son para las naciones verdaderas castigos. El destino puso a España en ese angulo de Europa donde coinciden el continente predilecto de la civilización y el mundo por excelencia barbaro Por la vía de Maruecos no ha recubido España más que sobresaltes, agrestes, y fatigamos tareas. Y al cabo de los siglos, he ahi que Africa vuelve a reclaran la胚能 español los sacrificios mas penosos y las mejores energas España ha sido en el Ocidente de Europa el pablo de hoque, la vanguardia, el baluarte destinado a resistor el impetu invasor del mundo sarracenó. Los pbelos balancicos y Hungria han sufrido en Oriente ataque de ese mundo sarracenó, viendos arrrollados mas de una vez por la avalancha tuna. También el pueblo español esvillo arrrollado por la ola musulmana, en el momento de su mayor poder y durante varias centuras ha vivido España en contacto con los moros, sufrendos de depredaciones o fortihicano su espritu a costa de ellos. Y cuando todo parecia haber terminado una vez que el estandarde de Castilla tremolo sobre la torre de la Vela, en Granada, entonces el mundo suilman reelamo la atención de España nuevamente Existe un curiosa desproporción entre el interes que en los españoles de otras epocas despertaba el moro, la indiferencia contemporanea El español moderno siente curiosidad por las tierra del otro lado del Estrecho, y la campana marroquí nunca ha sido popular en España, se han prestado los sacrificios por deber, pero no con entusiasmo, se ha desgado siempre terminar esmalto de cualquier manera. De ahí provienen todos los males. Porque la naturalela castiga las faltes de interés y de atención con un rigo extraordinario, y hay, en efecto, una sancion providencial para los pesos que podriamos llamar de desinseramento. Cuando desviamos nuestra preocupación de aquello que estamos en el deber de vigilar, el destino se encarga de enviarnos, conducto de un descuido o una negligencia, el percance que nos despierta, no contrista, nos pone prefundante emocionados. En otro tiempo ha sido el moro la mayor preocupación de los espaholes. Durante la mayor parte de la Edad Media fue el enamigo natural, el adversario trascendente y el extranjero por antoniasia Arabe, sirio, o herberisco, el musulman representaba al continente extranto, era ajeno a Europa, y no solamente a España, y por lo mismo dos veces invasor. . . . Pero por añadidaura en nombre de Mahoma, visto, singularmente para los cristianos de la Edad Media, era elultimo y decisivo motivo de enemistad El continu bregar con los moros por espacio de tanto tiempo hizo que el alma española quedase como impregnada de esencas orientales. Se formo una especie de superstirncia morisca, a base de leyendas tandan pronto pintorescas y marvillosas como terroríficas. Las casas antugas o los castillos desmoronados son siempre para los ingenuos camposinos. "obra de los moros." Gran parte de nuestra literatura se escribió a causa de los musulmanes: "El Poema del Mid Cio" y los mejoros trozos del "Romanero" han nacido de las guerras moriscas. Y mucho después ¡no vemos a Cervantes intercalar en sus obras las bellas narraciones, los vivos episodios, los intereantes cuentos que tienen por protagonistas a piratas sarracenos, cautivos, renegados y hermos moriscas? Y el mismo Gongora, para componer una de sus mejores poesias, el romance del "forzado de Dragon", recurre al argumento cristiano-musulmán. Qué vida de asazes en enqu tiempo! Las fronteras en eran cosas vagas y mudables, por donde corrian las patrullas a punto siempre de sorprender, robar y huir con las reses y los cautores. Las atalayas daban la voz: "Al arma, al armal . . ." Reunlanse los hom brea de guerra, encerrabanse los labradores, y las mujeres en los castillos, hilustos otros; pasaba la tormenta, para comenzar de nuevo en qualier la mano. Más tarde, los piratas, surgicho de sus uldos fortificados, corrido a la mano de la costa en buena de algn pible desprerivado, que asazalan y roban antes de que puideran acudir los saldados cristiana. Fuo menester destruir aquellos nidos de piratas, y España soportó el mayor peso de la empresa. Desde el Cardinal Cisneros hasta Carlos III, los españoles han tomado, perdido y vuelto a tomar las plazas de Argel, Túnez, Bugia, Tripoli, Orán, Melilla, Alhucemas y muchas otras. Pero al llegar la época moderna. España desvió su atención de las costas berbericas. El mundo sacramente perdió su antiguo interes los moros fueron olvidados. Hasta que Franca, en su anhelo de terminar la obra de su imperio colonial africano, dio prisa a la cuestión de Marrucuez. Fue necesario repararlo en dos zonas, y la más brava pobre quedo a cuenta de España. SALAVERRIA U. N. L. A. GROWING IN CHARLESTON, S. C.
