TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES "NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO REASON WHY, NEGROES SHOULD DO OR DIE" FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: It affords me a great deal of pleasure to write to you today conveying the good wishes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its grateful thanks for the splendid morale you have maintained under the relentless fire of the many enemy groups that have been fighting us within the last few months. By your decided stand throughout the world you have given the lie to the oft-repeated statement that "Negroes cannot stay organized and will disintegrate under opposition." The Universal Negro Improvement Association has cause to rejoice over the new spirit that has come over the four hundred millions of the race. We who make up this organization feel that now is the time for us to labor for our own emancipation, and that this can only be brought about by united sentiment with united action. This sentiment we are fast creating in every section of the globe, this action we are about to demonstrate without faltering. Keep Up the Fight! When it is considered that within recent months enemy organizations, individuals and even foreign organized governments have combined themselves to handicap the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and that we have stood up universally without slackening one bit, on the contrary making a fight that any race or nation would be proud of, our enemies will be readily convinced that a new day has dawned for Ethiopia and Africa shall stretch out her hands for freedom and for the liberation of the race everywhere. I ask that you keep up the faith. Now more than ever, you shall bind every bit of your energy to the linking up of the four hundred million members of our race. For once in the history of the Negro, let all the races and nations know that he intends to get together, to stay together, and unitedly to batter down all oppositions and build for himself a freedom, a liberty, a democracy that will place him in the category of races and nations second to none. The Time to Do or Die! The Universal Negro Improvement Association gives the command for universal organization among Negroes; every man, woman and child must fall in line for the liberation of the race and the freeing of our motherland Africa. Now is not the time to argue, now is not the time to ask the reason why; you and I must do or die. Tell me that we cannot make it, and like Napoleon, the Universal Negro Improvement Association says, "There will be no Alps; yes, there can be no barriers steep enough, no mountains so lofty placed in the way of the onward march of the four hundred millions of us that we shall not surmount, that we shall not climb over." We went over the top in France, Flanders and Mesopotamia to save civilization and the white world; we shall go over the top to plant the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green on the loftiest mountain top of Africa. Some men of our race in the United States of America, in the West Indies, in South and Central America may say that they have lost nothing in Africa; they may ridicule the idea of the agitation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the emancipation of our Motherland; but poor, misguided mortals that they are, they will realize one day that Africa will be the only salvation for the Negro. Without Africa, the whole race is lost in America, the West Indies, South and Central America; without Africa we may as well make up our minds to die in another fifty or a hundred years. The overcrowding of the world means that in another fifty or one hundred years all weaker races will be pushed off the face of the globe; all weaker races will die. As the North American Indian was piphed off this North American continent, as the Aborigines of Australia were pushed off the land, so the effort is being made to push off the weaker races from the face of the globe, and in the over-population of the world will come the survival of the fittest race and the extermination of the weaker ones. The Tima to Strike Is Heral THE UPBUILDING OF A RACE AND NATION DEPENDS UPON THE PRESENT GENERATION —THERE WILL BE NO ALRS IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE NEGRO TO SURMOUNT THE BARRIL PLACED IN HIS WAY science, in art, in industry, in politics. Those who say that it cannot be done, those who try to flatter themselves that this western world will welcome them and entertain them in another fifty years will find out their mistakes then. The great white race that lives on this American continent is preparing for its own existence, and for the existence of no others; the great white race that inhabits Europe is planning for its own existence, and not for the existence of others; the great yellow race of Asia is preparing for its own existence, and not for the existence of others. Men and women, the hour has struck for Negroes everywhere to prepare for their own existence, caring not what your Negro college professors say, your narrow-minded leaders say; caring not what your illiterate politicians say, mark, the warning is now being sounded: "Prepare, for the day of destruction is nigh." The Cry of the Underdogs of Four Continents! Where there is no vision the people perish." The Universal Negro Improvement Association is giving you now the vision of the future, so as to be prepared from the perils of the future. What grander future, what better future can you wish for? What grander hopes can you have than the future of a government of your own, the hopes that you and I will have the chance to be citizens of a country where we shall be respected, where we shall climb from the lowest to the highest positions within the state; and you tell me that you do not want to support a program of this kind? Men, are you dead? Men, are you going to continue in the lethargy and sleep of the ages? Can you not hear the thunderbolts of liberty bursting around you? Have you not heard Ireland's cry? Have you not heard Egypt's cry? Have you not heard India's cry? Have you not heard the cry of the Jews? Have you not heard the cry of Poland? Oh, men of the race, will you not hear the cry of Africa? Yes, the future of Africa freed, Africa redeemed is before me. I see it as clearly as I see the light of this day. Yes, Africa has risen from the slumbers of the past. Africa is now free, Africa with her many cities, her beautiful states, Africa, the mighty nation whose foundation is built upon the principles of Liberty, Justice, Democracy. Ah, when will the scattered sons and daughters of Africa realize that the hour has struck for her freedom, for her emancipation? You sons and daughters of slaves of the western world, are you going to forget the slavery of your forefathers when they were shackled, bound hand and limb, and kept in a condition worse than that of the beasts for two hundred and fifty years? Are you going to forget the hardships that they underwent, the sufferings they endured, to make us what we are? What gratitude are we going to show to our race for the sufferings of our ancestors? Ahl as for me, I shall give of the fullness of my heart, I shall give of the fullness of my soul, I shall give of my physical strength to the cause for which they suffered, for which they died. They suffered and died to make me free. I am prepared to suffer and die to make my children and posterity of my race not only free in the body, but free in mind, free in soul, free to opportunities, free to all chances equal to all men. Retrospection you are going to do. The Universal Negro Improvement Association says that if four hundred million Negroes cannot organize themselves for their own industrial, commercial, social, religious, educational, political emancipation, and for the founding of a government of their own to be maintained upon the principles of Justice; Love and Fellowship, then they might to die. Everyone Negro who believes that no man has a right to live who has not the conviction of his own worth. God created all of us and placed us here as masters of our own destiny, and the fellow who will go down upon his knees to that other, begging him for a chance, begging for some occupation, some opportunity to do, is the fellow who is a muff in God's creation. He should be cast away, and left to die, as a good for nothing fellow. As of the individual, so of the race, and so of the nation. Any race, that will go down upon its knees and beg any other race for a chance is a race that should be treated; is a race that should be pushed off the face of the globe, is a race that should be left to die, a race of incompetents, a race of good for nothing. The nation that will beg another nation for a chance is a nation without pride, is a nation without respect, and should be wiped off the face of the globe. Stumbling Blocks Four hundred million Negroes can rise to the height of human achievement, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is now calling upon you to take your stand alongside of the other masses of the world. Your Negroes who have not minded yourself, you might be able to end all the joy of the other Negroes who have no means of self-selves and in God, to put the progress of our Negro people are stumbling blocks in the way of the progress of the total course of our politicians are nothing but hangers-on, barnacles around the rim of the reed. Whilst some of our preachers have caught the voice that more Israel us on whilst some of our politicians are falling in line with the great cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, there are still others who doubt themselves, and, naturally, doubt us. There is no doubt in the Universal Negro Improvement Association; we have destroyed the "if" and "can" we are determined that we must do, or we shall die. Buck up men the world over, buck up in America, buck up in the West Indies, buck up in South and Central America, and let us go forward and onward. The day is not so far distant; at depends on how quickly you and I will get together. Let us get together NOW. Let us hear all will and wishes toward none; let us love everybody; but first of all, love ourselves to the extent of seeing our race emancipated and our country liberated from the thralldom of alieness. I ask that all divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association buckle down to hard work between now and convention, the list of Amount. Send in your reports immediately, so that you can be placed on the financial list for the year. Let your division register here when the great convention meets. Keep your record clean. Do your bit in your part of the world to keep the flag flying. This you can do by having each and every member of your division financially up to date. See that each member pays his all her monthly dues, and his of her annual assessment tax. When this is done, then you and the members of the division will be in good standing with the great morality, and will have cleared its conscience of its obligation to the cause of Mollier Africa and an emancipated race. BRANCH OF U. N. I. A. ESTABLISHED IN SOUTH AFRICA Enthusiastic Crowd at Claremont Meeting When Division Is Formed CLAREMONT Capetown South Africa, Feb. 14—After two attempts to form a division of the V N I A here, the organizer Mr T L Robertson of New York, with his band of co-workers in the persons of Mestra Jackson, President of the Capetown Branch H. L David, President of the Goodwood Division, J Worthington, Dr E O Johnson, C You, Simpson Philes and Danich, members of both the Honorable Advisory Boards of the Divisions, were successful in establishing one with a membership of 33 persons. The meeting was held in Capetown H. L Lancaster street, Claremont, Cape Province. Mr Lawrences the chairman in ad dressing the gathering said in part, "We have a time that the Negro awoke from his slaughter and assumed his rightful place in the grand common wealth of nations and I hope that our efforts on this occasion will be crowned with success. The preamble of the Constitution and the aims and objects were then read and explained to the gathering. He exhorted each and every one to use those talents which God has given to them for the redemption of Africa. Mr. David of Goodwood then spoke and in part said that in South Africa there is too much of color pride which is the drawback to the advancement of our race. If we can only realize the importance of being an organized body of one race and color there can be no impediment to the ultimate success of the U. A. and C. L. in Boudicca Africa and abroad for the purpose of unifying the black people of the world. He asked the people of Clarence to come together and organize solidly for a free and redeemed Africa.

GEORGE YOUNG, CALIPH OF NEGRO LITERATURE, MAKES NEW FIND Marvelously Interesting Collection of Prints and Photographs of Rulers of Haiti, Tahiti, Morocco, Added to Giant Collection of African Paraphernalia HOWARD PLANS GREAT WELCOME TO ALUMNI WABBINGTON, D. C, March 11. An awakened alumni interest in Howard University is being manifested by its graduates throughout the country. An effort is being made to strengthen the various local branches of the General Alumni Association. Already the chapters at Chicago have elected new officers. Many communications have come to the University recently from graduates located in various sections of the United States and foreign countries commending Howard upon the recognition it has received in being placed upon the approved list of American colleges and upon the honor which it has in having Marshal Fooh, Commander of the Allied Armies during the World War an alumnus of Howard University, a number of the letters received give evidence of many important places being held by graduates of Howard University and of the successes which they have achieved in various fields of endeavor. One of the recent honors which have come to Howard graduates is the Police Judgeship in the Municipality of Saint Cruz Christiated Virgin Islands, held by H. Paine of the Class of 1907. This is the only Police Judge and Justice on the islands. His duties require the holding of court at least four days in each work. Mr Paine was formerly American Consult for the Danish West Indies. Another honor to a Howard graduate is the prize awarded by the St Louis Hospital to the intern who is considered to have done the best work during the year 1921 which was given to Dr Leo R Commissioning of the Medical Class of 1921 Dr Geilbann of the Department of Geography in the St Louis Hospital is reported to have said that the history of a case written by Dr. Commissioning was the best one he had ever read. In keeping with the interest which is being exhibited in the welfare of Howard University by its graduates, the University administration is making preparation for a cordial welcome to every alumnus who returns to his alma mater during the June commencement. An Alumni Day at Neil Plain College are being made for the Alumni Luncheon to be held in the new Two Hundred and One Thousand Dollar Dining Hall which is now being completed. Caliph of Negro literature—that is the title to which George Young of Young's 135th street, has a legitimate right. Authora and journalists and buyers of rare books pertaining to the life, art, history and civilization of the African know and do homage to his shop as the Moera of Negro Literature. Indeed it is no idle boast to say that Mr Young is a prince and a pioneer in his field. With the exception of Arthur Schomburg whose massive library is internationally known, we do not know of anyone who makes a speciality of this work. His is a task that involves a tremendous amount of personal sacrifice. He is also the boyfriend he is also his profession and one need not go very far into that to know what is meant. A fow day ago Mr Young returned from a trip the details of which of necessity must be shrouded in secrecy. He brought back a prized consignment of rare books, prints, pictures, drawings and daguerrotypes. Looking at the foverish—not miserly—gleam in his eyes as he untied the bundle one is obliged to stop and ponder as to what is back of this spirit of wanderlust—a spirit that sends this man to all corners of the globe gathering information about his race. It is not the money, for there is not much money in it. As a matter of fact his most prodded "Ninds" are not for sale. Is it for the sake of being different—of doing a thing the mob knows nothing about? No, it is not that. To slide into the jargon of the avenue, "there ain't none of the ego in George Young." It is for the sheer love of it—a love as strong and as mighty and as unconquerable as Gibraltar. Glancing at the collection one is interested to find a decaying original edition of Phyllis Wheatley's Poema, dedicated to the Countess of Huntingdon, published in London in 1772. Of special interest to Negro editors is a finally preserved copy of the first edition of "The Colonizationist and Journal of Freedom," April, 1858, with a rare portrait of Abdull Rahahman, a slave of Tibuctou, commonly known as the "Moorish Prince." "The Colonizationist" was the first Negro paper in America. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. MARCH 18. 1922 PRINGETON PROFESSOR DISCUSSES PSYCHOLOGY OF RACE PREJUDICE Dr. Werner Marchand, Formerly of Rockefeller Medical Institute, Addressing Eclectic Club of Harlem, Urges Better and More Satisfactory Relations Between the Races HAITIAN AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE ECHOES TYRANNY OF MARINE RULE Immediate Abolition of Martial Law in Black Republic Urged by Georges Sylvain Dr Werner Marshand, psychologist and biologist, was guest at a reception of the Electric Club. 170 West 180th street, and spoke on the subject of Psycho-Analysis and Race Prejudice," psycho-analysis being the latest outgrowth of psychological science. It was of particular importance for bringing about more satisfactory relations between the races of mankind. In the course of his address Dr Marshand showed that racial equality was an essential principle of the Christian religion and that it was a condition of slaves. But too many still are limited in their outlook through unreasonable prejudices purely based on economic reasons. To counteract race prejudice more understanding and especially individual understanding, was needed. The older psychology did not enable us to understand the workings of the mind of individual. Scientific psychologists were investigating how thinking is done. They found that the sense of sight is located in the retina, the sense of hearing in the ear the sense of smell in the olfactory cells of the eye, the sense of taste in the papillae of the tongue. Thus to each sense there belonged defined functions. The sense of hearing was believed by Aristotle to be the heart, but scientific psychologists showed that for thought and all higher mental faculties brain and nervous system is necessary. The phrenologist-believe that faculties like genosity, inventiveness, cleverness, benevolence, etc. have definite locations in the brain and betray their presence in the shape of the skull, but this belief is without scientific foundation. There are, however, localized centers in the brain that correspond to definite activities and LIPH OF NEGRO DE, MAKES NEW FIND Selection of Prints and Photoi, Tahiti, Morocco, Added African Paraphernalia of Haytt and J.

Of Tousaint L'Overture there are at least ten different pictures. Quite amusing is the result when they are compared. There is an autographed one of him on horseback. Then you see him dressed up like Lord Nelson, on the bridge of a frigate, with buccancer boots and everything, as a Mexican rebel with straight hair and all, as a general in the armies of San Domingo, and in a striking Napolonic pose "on the shores of Haytt." From London are pictures of Ira Aldridge, the African tragedian, and Zanga in "The Revenge," as "Mungo" in "The Padlock," and as "Othoell" on the Burry Theatre. There is a photograph taken from a London periodical of Chumah, the African servant, who brought the news of Dr. Livingston's death to Lieutenant Cameron. Also Frank Leslie's Illustrated of February 12, 1850, had a two-page feature story with daguerreotypes of Souloque, later Emperor Fauzii 1 of Hayti, and the Emperor Fauzii 10 of this time. This book devoted its entire volume and second pages to Drod Scott, his wife Harriet, and their two girls, Eliza and Lizia. Scott is described as a "pure-blooded African, perhaps fifty years of age with a shrew, intelligent, good-natured face, of rather light frame, being not more than five feet six inches high." HAITIAN AMBASSA ECHOES TYRANNE Immediate Abolition of Ma- urged by Ge Georges Syvain, former Haitian Minister of France, Officer of the Le- gion of Honor and Officer of Public Instruction in France, who recently arrived in New York, today announced he had received word from his country of the imprisonment for six months at hard labor of Phileas Lemaire, editor of the Courier Haitien, a newspaper published in Port au Prince. In a statement issued Mr. Syvain said: "In Lemirea publisher of the Gorries Hattien, was tried before a military court of the American Occupation in Haiti on February 21 of this year, and was sentenced, to six months at hard labor and a fine of $800 on March 8 for having received and published a book, then selling it by a hotel, 'etching up' a sellout by a Haitian businessman as a grandmother." body functions. For instance, the visual center is located in the back of the head and if this center is injured sight cannot be restored even if the action of the eye is intact. Similarly there are speech defects that are due to the destruction, by tumors or injuries of a brain center These facts, the lecturer said, were of importance for our theories of mental healing. All mental healing is, in fact, influence by stimulus. For instance, if a prayer has a beneficial influence on a sick person, it is through word sound and its association that the nervous system is influenced. Certain attitudе are irritating and painful, and they tend to produce pulsations in the heart and the ap to counteract these poisones. The lecturer totally rejected all miracle cures and curses at a distance or by teepathy and directed faith in communication with disembodyd spirita Persons who lost a relative or friend through death should learn to transfer their feelings to someone living and would derive more consolation from doing so than from trying to communicate with the deceased. All phenomena of individual psychology as the lecturer showed, have become much more intelligible since Freud's theory of psychoanalysis, which recognizes the need for the general make-up of personality. Formerly psychologists practically ignored the emotional life. Especially the sex impulse, through a misunderstood and exaggerated interpretation of Christian principles of purity, was believed for a long time to be entirely "of the Devil" and symbolized the weakness of "the flesh". Modern science takes a more natural attitude. The lecturer showed that the race prejudice, like the prejudice against the reasonable discussion of sex matters, was due to errors of education. Many nervous diseases, like hysteria and neurasthenia, formerly thought incurable, were now understood in their cause, and dealt with by psycho-analysis. The lecturer said that he was convinced that the more we advanced in the intelligent understanding of individual psychology the more we would also grow in tolerance as regards racial differences.

C., March 11.—The Department of Physical Education of Howard University, following its plan to increase interest in athletics among all the students of the University, announces the first annual interclass meet to be held on the campus on April 8, 1922. Contestants in the meet are to be entered by the various classes in the several departments of the university. Aside from the added interest in this athletic activity it is expected that the holding of interclass track events will be a means of supplying a ounce of variety track material. All entrants in the interclass meet are required to register under A. A. U. rules. Medals are to be awarded the winners of each event. AN ACROSTIC TO THE By C.

Taylor 60 Years After Fray COLORED PEOPLE TO MEET WITH ATLANTIC CITY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. March 7. The Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce will meet with representative colored citizens of the resort on March 24, when it holds its regular monthly session at the Atlantic City Yacht Club for the purpose of discussing closer business co-operation between the white and colored people of the city. Much of the misunderstanding and friction between the races is due to the fact that the white man does not know enough about the colored man. They really need to become better acquainted. Although the two races rub elbows on the street every day the white man knows very little of the fine qualities in Negro business life and character. The idea of an international meeting was suggested to Samuel P Leeda, president of the Chamber of Commerce, by attorney James A Lightfoot, the leading colored lawyer of the resort and one of the most representative citizens of the community. In speaking of the joint meeting Attorney Lightfoot said, The Negro must learn to advance his own cause in our own country, and to present the facts in his civic and national life that relate to his advancement. These facts must be presented to the people who need to know them most. At this meeting a careful presentation of the Hotel Fitzgerald plan will be made. The Hotel Fitzgerald, soon to be erected will cost approximately one million dollars, and will be the greatest undertaking of its kind ever attempted by colored people. Since this hotel will be the equal in appointment and equipment of any of the great hotels along the beach Don. It will advance the commercial interests of colored people in the resort a thousand per cent and will also be an inspiration to every colored person in the country. ATLANTIC CITY COLORED BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION. Room 24, Atlantic Insurance Bldg. Atlantic City, N.J. PUTNAM, Conn., March 12—"Mix up the medicine and give 'em boll!" was the command shouted t othem of the Monitor when that little boat drove off the big Merrimac from the Union fleet sixty years ago, according to Thomas L. Taylor of Putnam, who served as a powder monkey on the Monitor in that historio sea battle. Last Thursday, March 9, was the sixtieth anniversary of the battle, and the citizens of Putnam have been paying special honor to Taylor, who is one of the last survivors of the Monitor's crew Taylor, a Negro, seventy-six years old, has lived in Putnam for nearly forty years, owns his home and is highly respected. Just before the Merrimac, the first ironclad war vessel, threatened all the wooden ships of the Union navy. Taylor was living on the plantation of a Major Evanston at Colo's Point, N. C. He was sixteen years old. Fled on Master's Horse He made up his mind to escape from slavery, and in the early part of March, 1882, took the Major's finest saddle horse from the stables one midnight, rode fast until dawn, abandoned the horse and sat out on foot for Fortress Monroe. He arrived, it happened, on the very day that the Monitor had made her way, there from the North. Union forces were paralyzed with stories of the havoe being wrought among the vessels of the Union fleet by the dread Merriman. Taylor knew nothing of this, but was highly elated when offered a chance to act as man servant for an officer who was aboard the Monitor. He jumped at the job. He was aboard the Monitor sailed to give battle to the Merriman. There was no choice in the matter for Taylor. He was aboard when the Monitor sailed, and he was projected into an active part in one of the most famous incidents in American naval annals. According to his story, as he reviews it sixty years after, it was some battle. The Monitor's gunners were stripped to the waist, Taylor recalls, and as the solid shot from the Merrill-macs gun crushed against the Monitor's frontal sides, there was a shower of metal particles from the railroad iron, a part of her protecting interior armor, that out and alighted the naked bodies of the Union gunners. They were covered with blood from what were, however, no more than superficial wounds, but so numerous as to cover practically the entire body above the waist line. Describes Farnhua Battia "Mix up the medicine and give 'em ball!" Taylor quotes the commanding officers as yelling to these feeding and working the Monitor's guns, as she bravely battled with the turntable Merriman. It was hall inside the Monitor's turret, as Taylor tells the story. Every one was working like mind mud the crack of enemy glaze against the iron dinges and the ruins to hide the massive monitor.

If a Man Dies, Sha Honorable and Dear Sir: We are watching with eagerness the outcome of the great war now being waged against us by a few Negro measurable pigs. I am very sorry, however, to be that these human parasites haven't enough brains to see that they cannot fight Marcus Darvey alone, but will have to compute with 400,000 determined men and women. We are well aware of the fact that these men are trying to be promoters of some organizations or other. Now, if they haven't sufficient sense to know themselves how can they know others? Now this is the point that they fail to comprehend, the bone-headed followers are trying every effort to destroy the morale of the U. N. L. A. thereby seizing the aspiration of the entire race. How can they ever hope, therefore, to build up an organization where the Negroes are concerned? You must take into consideration that the U. N. L. A is the greatest force among Negroes everywhere; it is a gigantic, so lofty, that governmental are asking, "What shall we do (not do) with this impending danger?" Every corner of the world, where Negroes live, the U. N. L. A is to be found. Then if a thing like this was ever to go down how in the name of God and human reasoning could these shallow-headed Negroes ever hope to succeed with their idea of any movement similar to the Universal Negro Improvement Association? How senseless; they ought to realize the fact that Negroes of today are not what they were five to ten years ago; but have a hard time feeling them now. Before three or four years ago we never heard about any organisation neither b. nor c. b. nor c. c. nor other. We have accepted the U. N. L. A and no other. And be it clearly understood that even the powers of hall cannot break down the morale of the U. N. L. A. except Jod is not the God that says Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto Him. And I know that the God that is diving the destiny of the U. N. L. A. is the same God that said so. Therefore, the enemy will understand that the spirit and determination of the man who is unified in the Universal Negro Improvement, and it will not, it cannot be broken, because those of us who follow closely the history of races and nations, know well that it will bring about a unified Negro race. And be it clearly understood, that even the powers of hell cannot break down the morale of the U. N. L. A., except Jod is not the God that says Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto Him. And I know that the God that is direting the destiny of the U. N. L. A., is the same God that said not. Therefore, the enemy will understand that the spirit and determination of the new Negroes is embodied in the Universal Negro Improvement, and it will not, it cannot be broken, because those of us who follow closely the history of races and nations, know well that it will bring about is united Negro race. Let me say to you Negroes who have found yourselves in this mourn race of ours through accident, there will come a time when you will run to the rocka, but the rocka will return you; you will then run to the mountains and meet the same fate then you will be racial.

When we reflect that Great Britain, with an ‘rea of 89,047 square miles, and a population of 42,530,000 controls 12,776,675 square miles of territory and rules over 445,625, 712 of the ‘World’s inhabitante, we can readily see that there must have been ability and character of the inhabitants of the British Isles, far beyond the ordinary for them to go out and dominate one-third of the carth’s territory and one-third of the earth's population. ‘The blending of Anglo-Saxon, Danish and Norman French blood " produced a superior racial type. The Literary Digest quotes Tacitus, ‘the Roman writer who wrote his Annals, :fistories and Germania _ afiout 100 A.D., as saying of the Saxons who now form the dominant stein of English blood: “They are the finest of all German tribes and strive more than the rest to found their greatness upon equity. A passionless, firm and quiet people. They hive a solitary life and do not stir up wars or harass the country by plunder or theft cand yet they are always ready to take up arms and even to form an femy if the caso demands it.” . "Phen, besides being sprung from a spleadid racial stock, there were fandamental ideas and ideals underlying English life and customs which were Wholesome and beneficial. Love of settled life, respect for women, reverence for leaders, a desire to reward distinguished services, - representative government, a trial by a jury of peers and pride of self and pride of race, all helped to give strength and stability , -to'English character, English Institutions and English life and make "England a powerful State, , ; Then Great Britain produced an illustrious set of men who attained V distinction along various lines, She produced great rulers in Wil ‘Siam, thf Conqueror and Cromwell; great queens in Elizabeth and >< Aictorla ; great statesmen in the two Pitts, Robert Peal, John Bright be Disraeli, Gladstone and Viscount Bryce; great soldiers in Lord Clive AWolF; tho Dike of Marlborough and Duke of Wellington; grea <eallor win-Sir Francis: Drake end Lord Nelson; great men in Roget ip adacon, Sie Philip Sidney, Bishops Lattimer, Ridley and Wilberforce ““arhouiasClarkeon,.

The English merchant and English rumseller and English expluiter who was only looking for quick and easy money followed close upon the heels of the educator and Enghsh missionary.

East Indian colonists in Kenla are the cause of grave commotion and agitation among whites who, “strongly backed by General Smuts and his party,” resent what they regard as an “Indian invasion.” “One of the most dangerous features of the situation,” observes Herr Asmis, “is that both parties have begun to court the favor ofthe blacks.” General Hertzog, leader of the Secessionist party, lost over- whelmingly in the last general clection, and the triangle of problems facing the Union has given way to one mighty one—unrest among the natives, The Boers and Britons are willing to compromise their differences in order that the blacks, who sutagreber the whites a ithouses- ca one, may a0 kept sn aunyecttfee FuAthe natives are going labout the task of suffrage with wisdom and deliberation.

Cain of South Carolina, Robert B. Elhott of South Carolina, J, Henri Burch of Louisiana, Postmaster Page of Norfolk Va.; James H. Harris of North Carolina, Robert Smalls of Beaufort, S. C. (the two latter not killed with educatron, but clever politicians who generally got what they went after), and dozens of others from varlous States, North and South, who played the game with much more Mall and success than their present-day successors seem to have played it in the first year of the Harding administration, which must be amused and highly edified hy the big talk and queer antics of some of these gentlemen who have gotten themselves miles away from the breast- works because their tactics have been bad and their tongues set on a pivot. We do not believe that a single one of these politicians who have sharply and sarcastically spoken about the Harding administration and ts attitude on the question of Negro appomtments 1s able to give a single guarantee of Negro support to the party, im exchange for fat jobs for themselves, that they will be able to carry out to the letter. Doubtless the past experience of white political leaders m recen years with this group of Negro leaders has taught them that these leaders of the Negro sans organtzation, saus a policy or plan cannot control a disorganized group of Nerto voters. The only way that we see for these leaders to obtain recognition al court 18 for them to make a practical demonstration of their ability tc function as real leaders These putative leaders, some of whom are seeking political rewart for services already paid for in cash, do not seem to have caught th eye of the attertdant at the pre counter. From present indication it appears that a new group of Negro leader: will soon be coming to the front, and with them a few of the senstbl old-time leaders; that the recent appomtment of a “dark horse” to the recordship of deeds marks the beginning of the campaign to retire th camofleurs and ther accomplices, the “grafters,” who have commer | clalized their loyalty to race and party and bluffed their way to politica office and prominence through the manipulation of a few delegates t | the nominating conventions who voted for the successful candidates || The people now know how it is done and why, and they are going t put the quietus on these forehanded and businesslike hucksters of thei votes. President Harding and his political associates evidently knot their game, hence the long and painful intermission. j.E.B. PARALLELS HE arrest of Mohandas K. Gandhi, Indian Non-Co-operationist | Leader, which precipitated the resignation of Edwin S. Mon- tagu as Secretary of State for India, and the gathering of storm clouds on the political horizon of Great Britain, is of utmost significance to black folk. Gandhi, it will be remembered, has caused the British more trouble in the East than any other radical of modern times. Backed by the teeming millions of his native land, he came out and openly challenged the colonial policy of Lloyd George. His arrest, onc would imagine, ought to put an end to revolution in India, but a Washington despatch to the New York World dated March 12, 1922, tells a different tale. We renrmduce it below: “The arrest of Mohandas K. Gandhi, Indian Ne‘tonalist lezder and head of the Non-Co-operationist movement, will not check the revolution. This declaration was made tonight by Sailendra N. Ghose, Director of the American Commission to Promote Self-Government in India. “Gandhi's place as leader of the Indian Nationalist movement has: been taken by Abdul Kolam Azad, one of the most prominent Mo- hammedans of India,” said Mr. Ghose. “He will direc the movement under powers of virtual dictatorship granted to endha and his: successors at the mecting of the All-India National Congress last December.

A. A. C. P. WITHOUT A SIGNATURE THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has published in their official organ—The Crisis—for the month of March, their twelfth annual report, which is an unsigned document. It shows where $42,684.40 was collected for membership during the year, and contributions of $18,523.97, making a total of $61,208.37 for the year from membership and contributions, but the report does not show what has become of the $61,208.37, although it is stated in the report that the full report is in press. The report also shows that $414,979.75 was collected as income from "The Crisis" since its inception to the present, but there is no statement to show what has become of the amount so collected. Being a member of the association this is written in the spirit of friendly criticism, so as to enable the able leaders of the movement to realize that the membership is not satisfied with the partial report of the association's work for a year, in that the whole report should have been published together, or none at all; especially when it is published in the association's official organ, which is a monthly publication. Unsigned reports are not a business custom of the day, and this is brought to the attention of the officers of the association, in that two of them criticised the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its financial report of last year, even though that association gave to the world a balance sheet that showed how much was collected and how much was disbursed, and what the disbursements were for. Surely, since the N. A. A. C.P. receives its contributions from the public, the public ought to know how much is disbursed for salaries and who are the officers paid. We trust that the officers will give us such a report in the next labour of the City. THE GARVEY MOVEMENT Four years ago, when Mr Marcus Garvey started his Universal Negro Improvement Association, we questioned the possibility of the plans he was then putting before the people, and, because we doubted the fruition of these plans, the Negro World took us to task, and we would have gone into a discussion of the matter, as it presented itself to us, but for the fact that one of our readers, who was a great enthusiast of the Garvey movement, wrote us a letter and reminded us of two things which we have always advocated. First, never to throw any obstacles in the way of a colored man's struggles to better his or the race's condition, and another, that people have a right to use their money in any way they see fit. That Mr Garvey and those associated with him should make some mistakes is human, and they are human, that they were undertaking things with which they were not even familiar, let alone adopta, was true, but we felt that they should be given a chance to do their beat, and, taking that view of the matter, we ceased to criticize their efforts, and gave some little help to the movement, both in money and personal service. Any person who has attempted to better the condition of the race in any way in this country has had some of the very same experiences which the Universal Negro improvement Association is having, and instead of helping to discourage their efforts, every one of us ought to at least do what we can to help it to live. There is no doubting the fact that Mr Garvey has done more than any other one Negro in the country in the direction of calling the attention of the race to what might be accomplished by united action, and what will have to be done before we shall ever be able to get anything like the consideration we are entitled to in these United States. It is the easiest matter possible to pick flaws in the other man's efforts and plans but it is the hardest thing in the world to go him one better through your own judgment and initiative. It is characteristic of the Negro to stand off and wait until the other fellow has either failed or made good, and then come in and try to claim most of the glory. White men have been exploiting us for years, and they have been allowed to do as they pleased, and if there are gone Negroes who have conceived the men that they can beat the white man at this game, we ought to at least give them a fair and unbiased chance to work out their plans. The great majority of our people preach one doctrine and practice another, but until this change can be truthfully laid at the door of Mr Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Society which will bind under the efforts they have been making —The Star, Newport, Va. FIGHT FAIRLY We are frank to say that we do not approve of the methods now being resorted to by his opponents and enemies to overthrow the Hon Marcus Garvey, the official head of the Universal Improvement Association. In the effort to destroy and discredit him and his organization, the aid of the Department of Justice at Washington has been invoked and a charge of using the United States mails to defraud trumped up. The very charge itself is ridiculous, when the organization of which he is official head is an incorporated body doing a lawful business. It is within the province of the Post-office Department to deny to the concern the use of the mails, but to single out its chief officer for prosecution and persecution seems to us to be ridiculous in view of the fact that this department is evidently under a different head and the chief officer only indirectly responsible. Certainly, his board and the organization itself would be just as liable to prosecution. We say this without prejudice to those who are launching this attack and who are circulating damaging documents with the intent of creating an idea of guilt, before the accused has even been arraigned in a court of law. For our part, we like fair-play and we do not see any in this systematic attack being engineered by Garvey's enemies. It has always been a rule of law, that where spite, personal enmity and proven jealousy formed the basis of an attack upon the citizen, the case was thrown upon the theory that the accuser or accusers must come into court with clean hands. Criticizing the Hon. Marcus Garvey and disagreeing with him and his policies is one thing and persecuting him and maliciously misrepresenting him is quite another. Garvey's plea in the last issue of the Negro World is scholarly, logical and convincing. He may fail, he may be dethroned, but the principles for which he is contending will live on. There are thousands of the black people in the organization and who do not see our way clear to take part in the "Back to Africa Movement," but this should not cause us to unduly exert ourselves to save money for other people who do not share in our views and who are entitled to decide just how they will spend their own money There are patriotic citizens of color, who believe in America first as against the Garvey movement, which has for its motto, "Africa first." Certainly it is the vile of persecution now being emptied upon Marcus Garvey's head will unintimately make a martyr of him and redound to the benefit of him and his cause. This prosecution upon the charge of using the United States mails to defraud may deceive the thoughtless but to us, it seems to be a blow below the law. It should not be tolerated by right-thinking citizens anywhere. Fight Garvey and his organization if you will, but as a disinterested onlooker we advise and insist that his opponents "play fair — Richmond (Va) Planet A LEGAL UNION A Desideratum Sometime ago we published news items of the proposal of the Hon. T Hutton-Milla, barrister-at-law of the Gold Coast for a Bar Association for West Africa. In our editorial of last week a issue we advocated a West African Court of Appeal to prevent the possibility of the judge of first instance sitting on his own judgement We hold the view that barristers have an important part to play in every community and particularly so in West Africa where our administrators and judges are men of different race, who however much they may sympathize with us, cannot fully enter into our feelings. Space and other considerations prevent us from publishing an article under the nom-de-plume of "one behind the scenes," where the writer expresses himself that the absence of a properly organized Bar Association for this colony is felt by the litigant public as a great disadvantage We share his view that a Bar Association is a desideratum, and we venture to suggest that if the members of the bar are fully appraised of their sacred trust they will rise to the occasion; unite and pledge themselves to apply the pruning-knife to any tree which needs it, and to anticipate the mischief which our correspondent is apprehensive of. For after all the community being a small one anything which goes amiss can be easily detected and checked. And if the suggestion of the Hon. Hutton-Mills is acted upon and a union of the members of the bar of West Africa be formed, the lit-gant public can approach them with great confidence. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922 Declares America Is Ignorant of Its Possibilities Education Commission Chairman Points to Vast Commercial Opportunities "Dark Africa" is a total misnomer which characterizes the ignorance of the people of Europe and America in general about that continent, which has infinite possibilities, in the opinion of Dr Thomas Jesse Jones, chairman of the African Education Commission which has completed a survey of conditions in Africa under the auspices of the Phelps Stokes Fund, the missionary societies of Europe and America, and with the cooperation of the Co. Dr Jones will give his first illustrated lecture on Africa, the Continent of Misunderstandings" this evening at a clock at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn. "There are four usual misunderstandings about Africa," said Dr Jones today. In the first place, as to its beauty and resources. We think of it as a country of great expanses of sands and jungles, instead we have rolling plateaus, high mountains rising 14,000 feet out of the sea, great curving rivers beautiful flowers and trees, and perhaps the most dramatic water fall in the world in the Victoria Falls of the Zambeal, where a river a mile and a half wide fills 400 feet into a cauldron below. The resources too are immense great on fields, coal and lumber producing possibilities with the gold of Johannesburg, the copper of Katanga and the diamond fields of Kimberley." The second misunderstanding. Dr. Jones said, was as to health conditions. They are bad in certain sections, he said, but proper care in taking quinine and boiling water makes life quite safe even in the malaria and sleeping sickness regions, while there are great expanses on the highlands where conditions are very healthful. The possibilities of the African Negroes themselves are also largely misunderstood. Dr. Jones said, "Although the African people are primitive, many of them barbarous, they are not their condition and progress are characteristic of a normal development. They respond to teaching and to education in much the same way as the American Negro." The place of the white people in Africa is not one of oppression of the natives, as has been generally thought Dr Jonas said, but the majority of contacts of governments and commercial groups with the natives is helpful to the natives. "The English Government is doing splendid work in Africa," he said. "On the top floors of the great old castles by the sea in the Gold Coast region English officials — intelligent trained graduates of Oxford and Cambridge—work towards the building of roads and improvements. They carry on their labors above the very dungeons where in former years the ancestors of our American Negroes were imprisoned to await transportation to this country. These old castles represent the old and the new—the dungeons in the cellars and the comfortable residences and offices above." The Belgian Government in Africa. Dr Jones said, has entirely reversed its old policy of selfishness, and the influence of the King and Queen of Belgium is being used for the best interests of humanity and progress.—New York Evening Post, March 6. MR. HENRY VINTON PLUMMER APPROVED L. O. N. L. A. On Sunday, February 13. Mr H. Vinton Plummer visited our division, and the manner in which he electrified the members can only be duplicated with greatest difficulty. From the time that it was announced that Mr. Plummer would be there, every one began to look forward to that time with great expectation. Seated before him was a large audience with an appreciable representation of Black Cross Nurses and a light sprinkling of motor corps and legions. Mr. Plummer rose to the occasion in the midst of a great storm or applause. He then began to unfold to the division many things that at once settled many minds that had been somewhat skeptical about the condition of the U. N. L. A. When it comes to the question of setting forth the aims and purposes of the U. N. L. A. Mr. Plummer proved himself to be a master. The Negroes of Jersey City are gradually coming into the realization of the fact that the future of the Negro must be worked out by the Negro and no one else, and as they come to believe this, they are found wending their way to this magnetic center of Negro thought and action. The time has come when Negroes are beginning to realize the real worth of the leadership of His Excellency, the Hon. Marcuus Garvey, a leadership which the Negro people of the world have for so long stood in great need. In Mr. Plummer very soon. The men who will stand side by side with our grand and noble leader will ever and a pleasant reception in the Jersey City division, but traitors have no place here. With Africans for the Africans and the triple colors the Red, Black and Green, as our eternal emblem, we will march 400,000,000 strong to an African free and redeemed. K. BENJAMIN BUTTON, President Jeferson City Div. Feb. 18, 1822 HEATHER Died March 8, 1822, Mrs. Gertrude CORRESPONDENCE NEW ZEALANDER LAUDS PRINCE HALL MASONS NEW ZEALANDER LAUDS PRINCE HALL MASONS From The New Zealand Craftman) The subject of Prince Hall or Negro Freemasonry is not, perhaps, of very great interest to Masons in New Zealand, but it is a very important one among the craft in America, and is some of the G.L.A. a very strong, even bitter feeling exists against the colored lodges it may, therefore, be desirable for us to acquire some knowledge of the subject, as it is possible that in the near future we will be asked to give them official recognition Precumessia amongst the Negroes in America takes its name from its first Master, Prince Hall. I take the following except from Hawkins' "Concise Cyclopedia of Precumessia" page 472 "Prince Hall was a Negro, the date and place of whose birth was unknown but he spent the latter part of his life at Boston, Mass. and died in 1807, aged 60. On March 6, 1775, he and fourteen other Negroes were initiated in a traveling lodge attached to one of the British regiments under command of General Gage, Governor of Boston, and although Hall served in the American Army of Independence, which took the field just after his initiation, yet the military lodge in the British army gave its black initiates a permit or disemption to meet as a lodge, but to do nothing but walk on St. John's day and to bury their dead in 'manner and form.' They continued to meet in this way, without conferring degrees, until the G. L. of England (modern*) granted them a charter under date of September 20, 1784, the lodge being named the 'African Lodge', and receiving the number 469, which in 1792 became 370. Though the warrant was issued in 1784, owing to the difficulties of communication at that time, it did not reach Prince Hall till 1787. According to Lanes's "Mason's Records," the African Lodge made its last payment to G. L. in 1797, and was erased in 1813 but Prince Hall's Letter Book (A2, C xill, p. 63) contains a complaint dated A MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL To the Editor of The Negro World Dear Sir—Please allow space in your columns to say a few words in regard to our (colored) ministers, or some of them. I am quite sure that we have some faithful, conscientious preachers, and they deserve the honor, respect and support of the race, but when we come to the fat belly kind, whose belly is his guide, he it is who must be everlastingly watched. I have bought several copies of The Negro World and given them to white men who inquired as to the status of N. I. A. and in each instance I have been assured that they can't find one lot of wrong in either the letter or in the speech of Mr. Garvey. They say the paper is a clean edited and neway one and several have gone far enough to say that when the U. S. A. finds that the Negro means business it will help him rather than hinder him. Now, if this is not encouragement I don't see why. And how any hand-picked, hat-in-one hand, Negro can cringe so low as to try to prejudice the minds of the white people against such a righteous canoe is hard to understand. True, we know there is the dog that will bite the hand that feeds it. Let me say just here that this movement is going on and upward, until God says enough. Its alms are too high to get over, too broad to go round and too deep to get under it; so let us all get into it and it into us and make the raco that is set before us. From every angle the Negro is clinging to his faith in his man and all the forces of hell will not change him until God calls him. He has opened his mouth and he can't go back. Respectfully andaternally yours, U. S. A. H. L. M. 1907a South Capital Street, Washington, D. C. THE U. N. L. A. AS A RELIGION Editor Negro World, $6 West 135th Street, New York Dear Mr. Editor--Permit me space in your valued paper to express my opinion about the religiosity of the U. N. I. A. (a) What is religion? Religion (b) "is an unclean enthusiasm uniting vast bodies of men in aspiration toward an ideal, and proving the source of heroic virtue." One of the objects of the U. N. I. A. is to establish a universal contrivance among the race. Our ideal is the redemption of Africa, which is highly significant in our society. "Africa for the African," the religious man in his relation with his fellows, all men regardless of race, color, nationality or race, his regards and protections to the children of Africa. To make any man anywhere, therefore, is to make a brother, and to close hands and break bread with him, is to bring pies, hinees, sounds of worship, which and its religion, with him, and Father of all. Our aim is to Rheumatism June 16, 1802, that Hall had sent letters to the OLL, but had received no reply for five years, and another entry dated August 16, 1808, repeats the same complaint. "In 1797 some Negroes living in Philadelphia who had been made Masons in England and Ireland established a sort of branch of the African Lodge in that town, using the same name and number and getting a permit from Prince Hall to do so. Soon after a third Negro lodge was formed in Providence, R. I. for the convenience of the members of this African Lodge who lived there, and in 1808, the year after. Prince Hall's death, the three lodges formed The African Grand Lodge," a body which in 1847 changed its name to Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Marons of Massachusetts, under which title it now works. "From these beginnings Mascory spread among the Negroes, until now they have Loe's and G.L. in most of the States and in Canada and Liberia, though they are not recognized by the white G.L. who maintain that the assumption of G.L. powers was illegal, and that the Prince Hall G.L. is a clandestine body." According to the present ruling of the G.L. of England, Scotland, and Ireland, there are three grounds for declaring Prince Hall G.L. clandestine: First, the Lodge must possess a three-legged horse, properly owned by G.L. secured, that more than the three Lodges are required to form a G.L. third, that a G.L cannot invade a territory where another G.L. exists. First—Lodges must possess a charter from a legally constituted G.L. In early days, before the formation of the G.L. of England in 1717, Lodges must have been formed by voluntary association, with o. without a permit or dispensation from another Lodge. There was no check on this beyond the loyalty of the Masons themselves to admit none but good men and true to and to uphold the principles, and maintain the ancient land-marks of the order. And in America this would appear to have been the practice, for, an M W Bro. W H Upton, P.G.M. of the (white) G.L. of Washington says in his book on Negro Preemasonry, writing "the Masons of the United States (formed by the union in 1738 of St John's Prov G.L. of Modern Masona and the Massachusetts G.L. of Ancient Masonas)," the only two Lodges in Massachusetts which possessed charters emanantly directly from the Mother Country took no part in organizing this new body—St. Andrews, the oldest of the 'Invent' Lodges, and Africa, No. 459. In our time Prov G.L. do not grant charters, therefore the to reclaim the fallen: to administer to and also to assist those that are in To exploit a man as a slave, to despise him as an alien, to abuse him as an inferior, are all alike irreligious. The above-mentioned injustices are universally heaped upon the Negro; that is the reason we are aspiring for the creation of a government of our own on the great continent of Africa. In his relations with his fellows, the religious man finds himself impelled to unite with them in comradehood in the great battle for true emancipation. Religion means certain miraculous results within our selves, as honesty, courage, sympathy, self-sacrifice, readiness for martyrdom, plain living and high thinking. The sublime spectacle of a man voluntarily laying down his life for his people—of the martyr, the saint, the soldier, delibrately putting by every lovely and gracious thing that the world can offer for the sake of some high and intangible ideal which has captured his soul—such a spectacle belongs to religion, and is the sure revelation of the presence of religion in the soul. It is one of the transcendent wonders of life that the man who voluntarily sacrifices the world for God is alone the man who has found the secret of peace and joy. Thanking you for space, Mr. Editor. Thanking you for space, Mr. Editor I remain. FELIX BRUTTON. 5021 Howard Street. New Orleans, La. GREETING FROM TELA, SPANISH HONDURAS Editor of the Negro World. New York: Dear Mr. Ferrist—It has become my duty as a Negro to congratulate you on your attitude to push the great cause along the grand uphill stride. Reading with pleasure your editorial and other writings work by week. I feel I am free on behalf of the 400,000,000 of our race in gregual and the Tela division in particular to say you are the right man in the right place. We also hold that your intellect and influence are above the average man. It is also our greatest desire to work with you to the best of our ability, and that your genius shall be one of the granite correlations on which Christ shall lay his foundation to civilize the world. Lodges under St. John's Prev.GL could not have had lawful charters from a G.L. The following extract from A.L. C. I., 4, will show that the G.L of Scotland at that time granted Lodges the privilege of o.ening new Lodges: "In 1784 the G.L. at Scotland admitted the right of Lodge Journery. No. " to grant discontiations to open a Lodge at any place where a number of the bethren were stationed, particularly if the master himself were present." In A.L. C. I., 4, writing of Prince Hall Masony, it states: "It is not likely that knowledge of this decision, so much to his advantage, would fall to reach so inquisitive a Mason as Prince Hall, through his friends in Lodge St. Andrew's, Boston (a body which retained its allegiance to the G.L of Scotland in defiance of the G.L of Massachusetts, formed in 1702). Lodge St. Andrew did not join the G.L. of Massachusetts till 1602. Second—That more than three Lodges are required to form a G.L. It is generally conceded by Masonic writers that three Lodges can, in an unoccupied territory, form a G.L. The Mother G.L. the G.L. of England, was formed by four Lodges, which could not possibly have held charters, and at the present moment there is the National G.L. of France, with only four Lodges, and, believe, at its formation had only three. But I can find no authoritative statement of how many Lodges are required to form a G.L. Thirdly—That a G L. cannot invade a territory already occupied by a G L.—This is not strictly adhered to. France had three G L. one, the Orient not being acknowledged by the G L. of England; yet the latter granted charters to open three or four other lodges in France, by whom the National G L. was formed. There are three G L. in Brazil—the G Orient, the G Orient of Parana, and the G Orient of Rio Grande du Sul. Spain has two G L. The granting by Lodge Journeyman, No. 8, of dispensations to open lodges in 1794, long after a G L. had been formed, would, according to our present ideas, be an invasion; yet it was approved by the G L. of Scotland. So it seems quite in accordance with the practice of the times for Prince Hall Masons to form G L. of Leu, had been formed in September 1784, the English G L. of Leu, rented in Dasson Mason form to African Lodge, No. 459, located in Boston, St John's G L. was over sixty-one years old, and St. Andrew's G L, which later united with St. John's to form the G L. of Massachusetts, had been in existence nearly a quarter of a century. So that a territory wherein there were already two co-existing G L. was invaded." In Findela "History of Masonry," p. 355, he states, "Besides these G. Le., with their daughters, there had been established during the war lodges of colored people, which worked separately. It was long doubted whether these were legally constituted, until Bro. Dr. R. Bartholomeus, of Brooklyn, demonstrated from the history of their first beginning that such was the case, so that their recognition can be no longer, with any show of reason, withheld." Gould, in his "History of Freemasonry," states: "In 1847 there were three colored G. L., one in Boston and two in Pennsylvania. These met in convention and organized a National G. L., which has since met triennially. Thirty-one G. L. in different States of the Union are mentioned In the statistics before me, which show a total of 994 lodges and 17,909 members. These colored or 'lesser' G. L. have been, more or less, recognised as legally constituted bodies in France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Italy, and India in a resolution by the World knowing the regularity of the Black G. L. In that State was only lost by 58 votes, the numbers being 832 to 830, in 1875." In a late number of the "Masonic Quarterly Review" it is stated that M. W Bro. William M. Grismaw, of the District of Columbia, had quite recently received a letter from the G. Sec. of England, counterigned by the Duke of Connaught, stating that African Lodge, No. 459, had been a regular lodge under their jurisdiction, and that they recognized Prince Hall G. L. of Deschutes as being the regular Deschutes from the foregoing I think, we may conclude that Prince Hall, or Negro Freemasonry, is as regular and constitutional as the other American G.L.E. and worthy of recognition. No charge has ever been made of their having broken the landmark, made innovations, or having failed to carry out the principles of the order. Indeed, all the authorities I have consulted admit that they are doing good Masonic work among themselves, and their charity is proverbal. I do not see how, in any way, we could refuse to grant the Prince Hall G.L. recognition as a sovereign Mason G.L. If we tilt in favor in one Supreme Being and its subsequent Fatherhood of God and the fatherhood of man, how can we refuse? It is our proud bosst that men of all nations, creed, or color, provided they believe in one Supreme Being and are worthy men, are welcomed into our order. In America, in many of the States at issue, there is a very strong prejudice against the Negro. Freemasonry, which will take many, many years, to overcome, if it ever is overcome. But conditions, there are, are very different to here, the Negro there is looked upon as a constant peril, an inferior being, to be kept down and only employed in mental positions. In the "Massachusetts Journal" of Louvainville, Ky., of March 18, 1839, the following occurs in an editorial "colored Masonry in the United States will never be recognized by our GLS, on the same fooding with ourselves. Even with the color line, aside, it can never be seriously contended that colored Masonry is more than an imitation of the higher Masonry of the whites, for, after all, Freemasonry is a thing of practice and not of theory." Yes, just so: but why not put into practice that which we preach—judge charitably? The origin of Prince Hall Masonry is as constitutional as that of Kentucky, but the origin of older Masonic lodges. A little further on the editor says: "For the source of their rituals and ceremonies is as legitimate as our own. Our observation has been that the colored wreaths of our emblems are usually the best and most intelligent of their race and the leaders of all forward movements." This is surely great praise. If there are, forward movements led by Freemasons, they must result in the benefit of all. A writer in the "American, Tyler Keystone" says: "It appears very much as if we have for some time past been trying to force upon the world what could be justly termed an American Mascory. If this be true, what becomes of the university of Mascory? . . . If Mascory is good for a white, and has a tendency to elevate and advance us, then it is certainly good for the black. If it is universal, it will live, if it is not universal, let us stop toking it and say we have a Mascory in the United States principally of our own manufacture." The same writer asks: "Where did these Africans gain knowledge of Mascory? . . . Maybe when the Anglo-Saxon race was eating raw meat and wearing the skins of wild beasts for clothing, they had the knowledge; who can say?" It is quite possible—may, probable—that the Negroes had a knowledge, of Freemasonry thousands of years; before the Anglo-Saxon board of it. It is now generally allowed that Freemasonry originated in ancient Egypt from their Mysteries or Eschatology, and was the parent of the degenerate Mysteries of the Greeks and Romans and all others known to us. This Egyptians were a colored race; the Negroes were their neighbors; and it may be considered almost certain that some of the highest in rank would be initiated into the Mysteries. Many travelers in the centre and on the West Coast of Africa have observed Masconi signs among the Negroes. In it not possible that these are all that remains to them of the mysteries taught to their forefathers? Indeed, one of our latest and our most learned Masconi writers, Brother Albert Churchward, claims that it came from Egypt to Ethiopia. As human feeling is at present, the Negro Freemason may not be free; admitted on equal terms with the white Freemason, but we can at least ask knowledge his right to be called a man and a brother. As the writer precludes by quoted essay, "The Supreme Master is not going to ask if it is a white or a Negro Mason that knocks at the door of the Great Lodge, but is it a Mason who has lived, acted, and pursued as a Mason should?" My own opinion, brethren, is that it will be many years—perhaps generations—before we will receive Negro Mason freely among us as equal. Color prejudice is not easily, overcrowd, but we can at least acknowledge his good work and recognise him as a brother Mason. That is all. I think they claim at present, trusting to time and their own merit to wear down the prejudice against them. THE THRILLING STORY OF THE MAROONS Band of Heroic Negroes Defied the British Government for One Hundred and Fifty-one Years and Finally Forced It to Come to Terms MAINTAINED THEIR INDEPENDENCE WITH ARMS AND AMMUNITION CAPTURED FROM THE OPPRESSORS By J. A. ROGERS The African, in spite of his great reputation for docility, did not everywhere submit calmly to slavery. In Cuba, Haiti, Porto Rica, Brazil, and even in the United States, where he was hopelessly outnumbered, he would revolt from time to time. Then he would wreak terrible vengeance on his oppressors, slaying right and left like an enraged demon. In 1791 at Cape Franca, Haiti, the slaves revolted under Oga and giped out the entire white colony, slaughtering men, women and children, and burning plantations with a ferocity paralleled only by the attacks of the mob on the nobility during the stirring time of the French Revolution. This-phase of Haitian history has been graphically told by Victor Hugo in his powerful story, "Bug-Jaral." The most refractory of all slaves, by far, were those of the island of Jamaica. This, no doubt, was due to the fact that the slaves always outnumbered the whites and near-whitees by at least eight to one. The history of that island from its occupation by the British in 1655 to the Emancipation in 1853 is one long record of the attempts of these hot-handed blacks to gain their liberty. A large number of the Jamaican slaves were descendants of the Coromantin, most warlike tribes of the West African coast. The Coromantins refused to accept the religion of their masters, worshipping instead the terrible Obj. Even after they were set free the Jamaican blacks revolted against unjust taxation. At Morant Bay in 1865 they attacked the officials in a court house, set fire to the building and gave the occupants the alternative of coming out to be shot or of being burned alive. Hundreds of blacks were wantonly killed in reprisal and their towns and villages destroyed wholesale, but the oppressors were taught a lesson. The almost total absence of racial friction on the island is due, perhaps, wholly to the determined stand the Jamaican black has always taken against unjust treatment. Foremost of the insurrectionists were the Maraones, or hog-hunters. These blacks, whose name is still a by-word of dread, maintained an almost unbroken guerrilla warfare against the clanholders for one hundred and forty-one years (1655-1798). When the African gets the recognition that is in the history of the New World these primitives, untaught blacks in whose bosoms burned the inexactingughish firing of Liberty, will be worshipped. They will be worshipped for their daring, their arduous feats, and the great privations they suffered in the cause of the Spartans, the Swiss mountains, the Scotch Highlanders, the American Colonists, and giants are today the leading idols of Western civilization. But these black men were the greater heroes, for while the American Colonists and all the others were on their own soil and free, these black men were not only escaped slaves, thousands of miles from their native land, but maintained their freedom solely by the arms and ammunition they took from their Spartans. Origin of the Marcona When the English captured Jamaica in 1658 from the Spaniards the latter Red to Cuba, ninety miles away. In the flight they had to abandon the greater part of their slaves. Several hundreds of these took to the mountains, carrying with them food and clothing, arms and ammunition. Here they were joined from time to time by other runaways, where they became a perpetual thorn in the side of the English—the drop of gall in the enjoyment of this most beautiful and bountiful island. Jamaica is called "the black man's paradise." Its inhabitants are 25 per cent. black. That is so is due largely to the terror inspired in the hearts of prospective white settlers by the Maroons at the time when it was easiest for the white settlers to get on. At first the Maroons lived in hana. Whenever they needed food, arms and clothing they would descend on the white settlers, and after plundering and killing in true Scottish Highland fashion, would escape to their mountain fortresses. The Island, though arable throughout, is very mountainous. Traffic parade that, Columbus, its discovery, when asked by Birdmand and fabella in a description of it, took a sheet of paper, crumpled it in his hand and drew it on the table, saying "There it is." Clerk among the tormenters of the cannibal at this period was a chief manna of Vienna, Dr. Nolse. For eight years he completely amazed the writer, memorizing settlement after settlement and preventing the advance of the flammite. It must be remembered also that these blacks had been living on the island for more than a century, and were defiled not only to prevent enslavement, but in defences of work, they have made native land at all times, been cattle, age and holiness, and have been the prisoners of war and used for their own purposes. Conversely, the cannibal has been holding the MAGAZINE from the slave men in they would mingie in the markets and other public places. Thus they knew the favorable public places. Thus they knew the favorable moment to strike. De ascending on a plantation they spared no white person or faithful slave. Toward the latter they were especially vindictive. After liberating the slaves, they took all the arms and the food set fire to the plantation and retreated to the mountains. After repeated attempts to defeat them and jailed, the governor now resorted to conciliation. To each Maroon that would surrender he offered a sum of money and twenty acres of land. But the Maroons were already free and in possession of thousands of acres of the richest land and spurned their leader. Jituan de Bolas was persuaded to load an expedition against them. He met with some success for a while breaking up several bands, but at last he fell into a trap. His forces were cut to pieces and himself slain For the next ten years the Maroons continued their raids successfully preventing the spread of the white settlement in the interior of the island But soon a crisis came. The slaves in one of the parishes named Clavendon rebelled. Killing all their masters they took arms and ambushes, including four field pieces, and joined the Maroons. At that time there were 8,000 whites 80,000 slaves and a number of Indians on the island. The Maroons numbered about 900—men women and children. Their numbers augmented the Maroons became more daring and destructive than ever. The administration provoked beyond endurance decided to make war on them—resistance hitherto had been left to the planters themselves. A large expedition was assembled. Soldiers led by Indians and faithful slaves now succeeded in penetrating the retreats of many Maroon bands, killing and dispersing them. The Maroons, up to this period, had been roving in bands. They now saw that safety lay in union, and concentrated their forces under one of the most daring and resourceful of their chiefs, a Coromantin, named Cudjoe Cudjoe appointed his two brothers, Johnny and Accompong Iloentanants, and made preparations for yet holder attacks on the whites. In the words of Dallas, an Englishman, and a writer of those days, they began "a regular and connected system of warfare, and in their frequent skirmishes with the troops sent against them, acquired an art of attack and defense in the difficult and inaccessible fortresses of the interior of the island, which has since so often folled the best exertions of disciplined bravery." In nearly every encounter Cudjoe was victorious and there is good reason to believe, that had he been better armed, he might, with the aid of the slaves, have eventually succeeded in driving out the English as a similar untaught Negro had forced the French from the neighboring island of Haiti. Description of the Marcous "In their person and carriage," says Dallas, in his "History of the Maroons." "the Maroons were erect and lofty, indicating a consciousness of superiority, vigor appeared upon their muscles and their motions displayed agility. Their eyes were quick, wild and flery, the white of them appearing a little red owing, perhaps, to the greenness of the wood they burned. They possessed most, if not all, of the senses in a superior degree. They were accustomed from habit to discover in the woods objects which white people of the best sight could not distinguish, and their hearing was so wonderfully quick that it enabled them to elude their most native pursuers. In character, language and manners they apparently resembled those Negroes on the estates of the planters that were descended from ths same race of Africans, but on closer inspection displayed a striking distinction in their personal appearance, being blacker, taller and in every respect handsoner. "They were self-surprised. They communicated with one another by means of horns, and when these could scarcely be heard by other people they distinguished the order the sounds conveyed. It is very remarkable that the Maraona had a particular call upon the horns. The sound was summoned from a distance as easily as he would have been spoken to had he been near." Cudjoe Wina Declaive Victory Guddu Wina Rescive Victory At last, in 1720, the government, in despair decided to attack them at all costs, and began to build forts and outposts near their resorta. Mosquito Indians were imported from Central America to track them down, and a force of 800 white and black soldiers under Captain de Lemalia advanced against Cuddu. The latter, who had learned all the details of the expedition through his unseen, laid plung to entreat his first. Cunning to be converted to Captain de Lemalia, a false tale of the Marcon location, he then advanced several miles down the mountain.

BOOK CHAT BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People THE CHILDREN IN THE MIST George Madden Martin Published D. Appleton & Co. Price, $175 with postage $15 I read recently in a southern paper of a college professor who is instructing upon recent literature written by Negroes, placed my novel. The shadow on the work of a colored novel that My ambition as an author makes no novel read a mistake like this without feeling deeply complimented. It must show that I have sufficiently penetrated into the thought life of the Negro race to be able to depict it not as an outland but as one with understanding. George Madden Martin, who by the way, is a woman, will never be mistaken as to her race. When she writes of The Children of the Mist' she is an outdoor, looking at her character's sympathetically, tenderly, but as a superior who tries to make allowance for an inferior being. For myself, I am wary of this attitude, whither it refers to white or black, rather or poor. Why should the person who has been born into comfort and has had every advantage feel superior to one who has been born without opportunity for education in comfort, for health of mind or body. These beautiful aristocratic owners of slaves whom George Madden Martin depicts so lovingly) scarcely touched life compared with the ragged, untutored blacks who tended to keep their owners in idleness. And no amount of tender sympathy can make the writer with the psychology of the slave-owner identify herself with the inner life of those whom she tries to describe. After this introduction I am ready to talk about a really remarkable book once you accept its viewpoint. For George Madden Martin is an accomplished story teller, who delighted us with her tales of Emmy Lou' and who, when she comes to tell of 'The Children in the Mist,'Jerries comes some unusual and vivid incidents. The first story, The Flight, is the best in the book. Sherman is marching to the sea, burning houses behind him, and you see Miss Susan Deague, owner of Neupmongn Hall, standing outside of her burning home, with two young girl nieces and five slaves, old Maum Harriet, brought from Africa, her daughter and three little boys, grandchildren. They must travel that night fifteen miles to Cinnamon Court House, the roads being full of troops and daigrous. Leaving their burning home behind them, the eight joues on to together. At once the old Negro takes the lead. It is she who is the protector of them all. And how she guides them through the swamp is one of the most wonderful slave stories that has ever been written of the South. You thrill when you find Miss Begue, the mistress, coming for the first time upon the slave's secret, the hard, firm footpath traversing the, to the white man, impenetrable swamp "A continuous narrow ribbon stretching ahead, winding in and out across marches, through morsass and around lagoons, linking hammock to island and island to some upthrust of solid footing in a sea of quaking bog. One grasped that this winding ribbon was a road, * * * a work of careful and painstaking construction, a corduroy foundation of morsass upon it with the turfy soils of marsh ponds faced with bog mud and clay, now hard and dry with time and use." Here slaves have traveled from plantation to plantation, and here runaways have been lost to their owners and sometimes have survived for years. And here one of Miss Begue's own slaves who fled from her plantation, helps her and the two young girls to safety The other seven stories vary in interest, the best of them, "The Inskip Niggah," moving, like "The Flight," about the theme of the lady of quality and the faithful servant. This must at times have been a beautiful relationship, but one grows a little weary at hearing about it, and always from the master's pen. But unquestionably the beauty is the ending of the Inskip Niggah," where the southern lady, Miss Lavinia, penniless, neglected if her pride by once devoted friend, in danger of being sent to the poorhouse, at the last is saved by the wisdom and kindness of her old servant. Laying her hand upon his shoulder, she looks into the faces of those others of her own race who did nothing and says: "If God had not willed many things, if would not have come about that out of so much friendship their emerged for me the miracle of a friend." Here the attitude of mistresses and saintly variables and two sprites meet on an equality. "Books like, 'The Children' in the Mist' do much good. They show the difficulties that host, the Negro's path and they breathe a very real and broader sympathy.' that K. Gobert if they "FOR WHAT DO WE LIVE" By EDWARD HOWARD GRIGG Published by Orchard Press, Grot- ton on Hudson, New York A Review by Wm. H. Ferre The Literary Review of the New York Evening Post edited by Henry Beidel Canby, on March 1 contained a very suggestive editorial. On Time Mirror in which it spoke of a spiritual bankruptcy of modern civilization The review said. The flat truth is that as a civilization we are careless of where we are going where we want to go now and for what we wish to give than at an age gentle period of which we have full record. Ours is a literature of an age without dogma, which is to say, without a theory of living the literature of an inductive, an experimental period, where the really vital attempt is to subdue physical environment for the first time in history to the needs of the common man. It is an age, therefore interested and legitimately interested in behavior rather than character in matter and its laws rather than in the control of matter for the purposes of fine living. It is a return to the old nor the destruction thereof that we must seek but a new relegion on a new life to a new hea a new end which gives more importance to living than developing an individual society in new finding Like Rock Wall, I am at Edward Howard Gould and I will form a one program told that we publish a class in June 2000 held on an afternoon and with his eloquence at the annual meeting of the Free Religious Association in Boston. He has chanted a few the hymns and a lady was the illustrating star. Then the following fall he exerted a course of business courses in Boston. Since then he has written many books. For What We We Like. The New Humanism. A Book of Mutilations. Moral Education. The Philosophy of Art. Human Equipment. The Use of the Marginal Self-Culture Through the Vocation. Friendship Love and Marriage. The Soul of Democracy, published by the Orchard Press. At first the siroe of For What We We Live! will not impress the reader. And after he has reflected that the eighty-one pages out $1, he may wonder whether the book is worth while but when he once begins to read he will read on for two or three hours until he has finished the little book. The clear simple flowing style carries the reader naturally to heights of impassioned eloquence. And the author throws off the genralizations like Emerson. The reader is not only delighted and pleased but also thrilled and updated. It reminded me a journey on a June day down a beautiful winding river, which opens new views and vistas at every turn. And after the first journey, one would be inclined to take the trip again to enjoy the pleasant prospects. The philosophy of Mr. Gloss appears to be blind the illumination of Eme ser with the pragmatism of lames. As to whether or the pragmatism of lames will take the place of the early faith will be considered later. At present we merely express the pleasure the two readers of the little book gave us. LOVE'S SACRIFICE I love her—none sha I ever know For color makes me but her slave. And I will bear her memory To Africa beyond the sea No son of Minilke shall be A weakling—chains bound captive hand But I will take no coward traits When I return to native land I love her' She shall never know Lest in her soul should 'take desire The hand that burst the captors' bond Can quench the soul's immortal fire Oh Georgia Rose I must away' Oh, who will tend those when I go' The breeze from the sea the wave will sigh "He left because he loved you so. I know that you will miss my care. But Heaven whispera, "Cross the sea" The God who sends me o'er the waves Will keep the charge so dear to me. They tore my sires from tropic clime My heart responds to passions warm The African mate, my native mate. Fell victim to the white man's charm He soiled fair sex of royal line. And basely made me serve as slave My love can never, never die. But I will bear it o'er the wave. Good-bye the Red, the White, the Blues! Farewell, O dainty Aryan Queen! "I'll muse on the in Africa. Where captor cannot taunt my soul, Non wrap braces in a robe of fame. At twilight hunt, when prayers ascend, Whisper narcissely thy name.

MADAME MAUD JONES, THE COL- ORED ELLEN TERRY By DUSE MOHAMED ALI On the 8th that I was accorded the pleasure of being present at a recital in New York at the Mother Zion Church given by Madame Madame Jones. In the course of my dramatic and literary experience extending over a period of some thirty-five years, I cannot remember to have been so enthralled as I was at Mother Zion Church. Madame Madame Jones is a genius. I have named her the Unchained Ellen Ferr, because I have never heard a dramatic reciter or address whose tones or emotional expression more near She was not quite happy in the big, dark diorama poems of Dobbin for some exp in a reason all such an American she did not seem to quite the least of the Nerv which to me was carefully. Imprinting but in the imagination of Sam McGee by Robert W. Service she lifted us to the heights of ingenuity only to land us at the tempest of a chatter at the humorous conclusion of this tragically poem. In the two scenes from Home and Jubilee, who not only proved her familiarity with the poetic lines but she also succeeded in bringing out all of those poetic beauties which the average—and some of the so-called prominent Shakespearean impersonators—have failed her finally properly body enabled her to speak Romea a line with many dignity carrying conviction and her exquisitely modulated voice enabled us to visualize Julie and as the Nurse in the fifth scene of act two she gave us a proof of her unquestioned versatility I should say that the real metter for Mime Jones is the tragic muse rather than the harrowing. I know she would give an excellent account of herself as Lady Macbeth or Emma in Othello. Were she Caucasianized, I have no hesitation in saying that she would be accounted among the formost classical dramatic expositors of the days. I have seen and heard as stated at the head of this critique, many acrostics and reprints of the first flight, but I do not remember having listened to any poeasing such all-around excellence as Madame Moul Jones. I repeat, Madame Moul Jones is an FADED SUNLIGHT Do you who are gay Come into the city Toon your amies will flee away And leave you pity Ah here is one with eyes a dark For light hath flown The golden sun the light the birds Are lost to him Speak gentle words. He lives by those alone And here is one so young and fair With tangled treasures She sits and thinks that thought I care a great rob starts from her there Where she transgresses Oh, father, brothers, sorrow needing Can you resist So deeply passionate a pleading Through tearful mist* For she was wronged, then slipped and fell. When innocence had fled Oh, thoughtless, stay and hear her pray That she were dead* Ah, you that are so gay Here within the city, Win her from sin away With love and pity By ERIC D. WALROND himself as as sunlight the port so she was the red cap, the long lips the crown of tears on his bare head the symphysis on his head the long lips the crown of laziness it was mass that she loved to dance with a warm sunshine of art and life and nature to play with the untamed creatures of the world the cobn and the Tuberous and the his moor it was that he felt he had to free and unite him and he felt he had to free and unite him and he felt the depth of his love for her did not try to break open the舱门 and go to her. No he did not go but with him to be able to gate at the exquisite face and form all that mattered. So he look his nose was look out his pod and paint and sebbed sentences of love to her. That was all he wished BERT WILLIAMS I stopped at on Sunday morning. March 5 to look on the remains of Bert Williams, God Bert whose philosophy was to make the other fellow laugh though it broke his heart to do so seemed to have played his last joke on death for certainty death had nothing on him for a calm and serene ex-pression upon his old in death is indicative of anything Bert was struck on the trenches. It was while doing his turn on a Detroit stage that he received his first warning that he must pay the price of being human. He died soon after he was brought home to Harlem among his friends of younger days. He will be missed, but no one will regret the rest which he shall receive from his labors, which were labors of love. Bert Wilkinson discovered early that what the world needed most was laughter. So he set out to fashion a joke even out of the most tragic scenes of life. One of the secrets of his success was his ability to make men laugh over things which ordinarily grieved them. Many of the phonographic records which he has left to amuse the world, will attest to the fact William was not a moralist. He did not preach goodness. His way was to laugh and forget it. But he has made more men good, through teaching them to forget, than have many a moralist who teach them to fear. He will go down in history as the world's greatest laugh getter—a title which any person should feel proud of. He kept the wrinkles out of the faces on the old and kept the laughter in the hearts of the young Bert was a gentleman. He had to be this to be what he was. Nothing but a genuine article could have claimed so successfully the attention of the world. He lived on a square and he died that way. The press spoke repeatedly a few weeks before his illness and death of the report that the great comedian would enter serious drama. I were not able to understand this press report, for I never did know the day when Bert Williams was not serious or serious even to his fun. And his acting carried with it the same elements which characterise the beat of dramatic acting—love and laughter. True not tears; but must all serious acting carry tears? I have been wondering who will take the place of the great Bert. Surely he has taught the world to laugh well enough to have some laughter after he is gone. It is a creditable business—this thing of making the world forget, and the man who steps in the shoes of Bert Williams will have chosen wisely. Here is hoping 'hat when the curtain rises in Heaven the angels will be pleased with his "entrance" as we were up earth. ```markdown ``` WEEKLY SERMON By G. EMONEL CARTER Subject "Be sure your sins will find you out Text Prov 14 34. "Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people." One of the most impressive statements in the Bible is, "Be sure your sins will find you out." The more experience we have the better we realize the truth of this statement. Yet there are many of us sailing forth, essaying to do and doing, as if there would follow no disdain to our present-day actions These disclosures will come in our intellectual, physical or spiritual being. They will reveal to us and the universe our every mode of living, however hidden it may have been from the eyes of men. It is apparent, therefore, that every man and woman should live not unto himself but rather for the unfolding of the divine that is within him thus disclosing in the end that which will make him a blessing to humanity himself and God. As a whole we are willing to accept the truth that sin is effective in the life of an individual, but quite unwilling to admit that it is as effective in the life of a nation. In spite of our disillusions the fact remains. Missions also and fall through their sins. This is to be verified in the annals of decaying nations. A majority of those who lived during the time when Rome was at its zenith failed to see or even imagine that Rome with all its pomp and glory would soor, be overrun by the Goths and Vandals, that the fall of Rome would be imperative because of the sins found in the lives of its citizens, that the sins of luxury, immorality and tyranny would have to be disclosed and the price must be paid for her unrighteousness. In modern times the history of Russia furniaries us a concrete example. The long years of unjust treatment with which the Czars ruled Russia prepared the way for the violent revolution which overthrew that unjust power. The history of individuals and natives is being repeated each day. It is imperative, therefore, for us to pause and study the situation, also our disclosures will be to our detriment. Let us name two national saints. The nation that provides for the education of part of its people and neglect the other part is doomed. The nation that metes out justice to a part of its citizenry and to the rest stands dumb in the presence of justice, crying the heard, is sealing its doom. God give us an awakened consolence of the nation. God make us sensible of the great truths contained in the text. God hears the coming storm may be averted. For is true that the injustices, wrongs and depressions of a people cannot go us heard, and righteousness exaltoh while sin brings a reproach. --- There must be less injustice in business and industry. When we find men and women incolled to oppress the poor, because they are in a position to do so, we may take the measure of their greatness and know how near they are to dishonestment. The business world has no greater right to demand unjust returns than the thug who waylaims his victim and robs him of all his possessions. Capital has no greater license to exact from labor the undue proportion of work than the unfaithful steward who fleeces his master on the quiet. That nation is presaging a fall when its business and industrial life are no longer reflecting equity, truth and honesty. There cannot be a neglect of religion in the life of an individual or nation and that individual or nation hope to escape the penalty of the text. A nation is but an aggregation of many peoples who aims and objects are one. The many peoples are but the reflex of the homes from which they come. And the ideas sown in the hearts of men around the fireside hearths are sent forth into the world and become the molding ophthalm of humanity. There is therefore necessary that we have the right ideals in the homes, or that race, people or nation is doomed already whose home life is questionable. My heart goes out for humanity and mine eyes have clearer insight on the wrongs that must be righted so we shall go forth proclaiming victory. The battles must be fought in the light of truth; and those of us who understand the principles of right living must be ever vigilant in pursuing a policy which will make for us a nation whose God is the Lord, whose standard is the Christ. Go forth, then, bearing in mind that each man is disclosed to our disgrace in such unknown world. It is here we. Founded, there is here men come to know us after years of living.

A., DECLARING THEMSELVES IN FAVOR OF FREEDOM OF INDIA AND LIBERATION OF AFRICAN COLONIES, CABLE PROTEST TO BRITISH GOVERNMENT AGAINST MAHATMA GANDHI'S ARR LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Evening, March 12, 1922—Returning to Liberty Hall tonight, after an absence of several weeks spent in traveling through the West and East, the Hon. Marcy Garvey, President, General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was given an oval indication of the unserving loyalty of the colored people of New York city to the great leader and which is non, the less manifested in all other parts of the world where branches of the association are established. His very appearance in the hall was the signal for a spontaneous outburst of applause. The handclapping and waving of handkerchiefs can be unified until he reached his seat on the platform and had no sooner subsided when it broke out afresh, causing his Excellency to rise and bow his acknowledgment and appreciation. But the greatest demonstration was when, in the early part on his addresses on "The Pathway to Liberty," he had concluded读able cablages which he offered to be sent to the Hon. David Lloyd George and King George V, in which speaking for the 400,000,000 acres of the world, through the N.A. protesting against the recent attack of Mahatma Gandhi as the leader of the peaceful movement in India for independence of that country. The cheering was most enthusiastic and prolonged. It was a fine tribute to the speaker, whose hold upon his followers has never yet even once shown the slightest slackening. It also emphasized strongly that Negroes are interested in the efforts of other races and peoples who, like themselves, are seeking their emancipation, and that in proportion to these other races and peoples gain their independence so the prospect of the ultimate emancipation of the Negroes of Africa from the present domination of all alien nations, that there may be a free and independent Africa, will become brighter and more possible of attainment. --- Mr Garvey said that some people believe that Gandhi is arrested by the British authorities in India means the downfall of the Gandhi movement or of the movement for India's independence, on the contrary, he believes merely a sacrifice on the part of this unique leader that will cause the 380,000,000 members of his race to become more determined and to light up never before to throw off the sake of alien oppression. It is always Mr Garvey's happy faculty to choose the most timely subject of international importance and interest to speak upon when addressing Liberty Hall audiences, and there are very few Negroes who are able to discuss these questions with that breadth of vision and with that sound philosophic reflection; certainly not even Jubilee with all his scholarship, excepted can equal him in point of expedition of political topics with that clarity of expression, charm of style and convincing logic that characterizes the addresses of Mr Garvey. Such was his treatment of the subject he chose tonight. He said that all great and worthwhile reform movements in the past succeeded only through affirms made on the part of its leaders. Some of them, he said, were to suffer death, some have had to suffer imprisonment and some have had to endure death. Mariyodm in some form was necessary. The U N I A is no exception, he pointed out, and its leaders, he declared, are prepared to make whatever sacrifice, personal or otherwise, to maintain the principles of the organization and carry the work on to ultimate success. He spoke of the marked enthusiasm and loyalty to the cause manifested wherever he went in the Western States, and said that this enthusiasm and loyalty compare favorably with that exhibited by the New York local. He addressed large audiences in all the cities he visited, and was greatly pleased at the remarkable growth of the organization everywhere. This was particularly noticeable in Detroit, where he remained three nights and spoke in two of the largest public halls in that city. The Hon Rudolph Smith, leader of the Western Province of the West Indies, was among the speakers, he, like Mr Garvey, having returned from a Middle West 'our in the interest of the association Mr Smith spoke with his wonted ardor and spirit, and gave a most glowing and encouraging account of the work done in the Middle West in Cincinnati, he said, there are now 5,000 members of the U N I A, while in Cleveland there were evidences that the colored people there are going strong for the organization. The Cleveland Division, he said, is now under the management of Dr Burdy, of East St. Louis fame, a man who is doing much to advance the interests of the cause there, and with notable success, Dr Burdy Mr Smith declared, expects to visit New York next week. Mr Smith was frequently applauded throughout his address, and proved that he is still one of the most popular speakers of Liberty Hall, and a particular favorite. Hon. Fred A. Toote, Secretary General, another speaker, had not been in Liberty Hall for some time. He urged every one to stand fast to the association, and to hold up the hands of its leader, whatever others may say or do. His woes was short, but vigorous, and the warm apology, in the Welfare Assistant President General, the first officer of the system, delivered one of his lectures interrupted with philosophical interpretation based upon the classes and history and reflections on the achievements of other races and peoples in past ages and times, with their bearers. ing upon the possibilities of the Agro race of today. His addresses are always informing and instructive, and help not a little to brush away the cobwebs in the mind of many a former student of history, science and politics, and save in the universities and colleges, it is doubtful whether the same intellectual treat can be bad HUNDAY NIGHT AFTER Sunday night, with that delightful freshness of a newly-cut flower, anywhere among the various churches and public assemblies given under the auspices of Negroes with Negro speakers in attendance. The big hall was crowded to capacity, the weather being ideal, the first real spring weather, the first spring weather given the refreshing music given by the chair, the band and other artists, among whom was Mr N Cumberbatch who delivered, with wonderful Jramatic effect and feeling, an original poem entitled "true cup of Hatred Garvey Comments on Arrest of Gandhi Hon. Marcus Garvey rose to speak amidst thunderous applause. His remarks at this time alluded to the recent arrest of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian Nationalist movement, which is pursuing a campaign of "passive resistance" against allen rule in India. He spoke as follows. Newa has come to us that India's great leader, Mahatma Gandhi has been arrested for advocating the cause of 380 000 000 Indians—the cause of freedom of his country. He has been arrested by an allen government that seeks to disrupt the freedom of 380 millions of people. You are well acquainted with the work of Gandhi. In fact, the years Gandhi has been agitating the cause of his countrymen. Within the last three years he became very active. He organized a movement that has accepted the entire country of India a movement that has united the different states of India that have been apart for centuries. The British people are now feeling the pressure of Gandhi's propaganda. It is customary for them to suppress the cause of liberty. It is to nomy of them to execute and imprison the leaders of the cause of liberty everywhere. Therefore Gandhi is now feeling unappetited to those of us who want and which wil l worship the leadership means martyrdom. Hundreds of thousands of men as leaders have died in the past for the freedom of their country—the emancipation of their respective people—and we will expect nothing else from Gandhi but that self-sacrifice and martyrdom that will ultimately free his country and his countrymen. Gandhi One of Nobest Characters Gandhi as you know is one of the noblest characters of the day. Like McMurine, I believe he will pay the way ultimately for India's freedom. McMurine's death a couple of years ago paved the way for an Irish Free State and I believe that the sacrifice—the implemment of Mahatma Gandhi—will ultimately pave the way for a free and independent India. I am in deep sympathy with Gandhi and with the new movement in India. As Professional President of Africa I pledge the support of all the Negroes of the world who support the principles of this organization to the cause of India's freedom (Applause). And I am pleased to meet a man with the last twelve hours it came from the island of Jamaare—where, as is the custom of the people I have mentioned, they called upon the West Indian regiments to go out to India—the black soldiers who have always fought for them in their wars of conquest—to fight the Indians, and they refused to go. (Loud and prolonged applause.) The Effect of U. N. I. A. Propaganda This is the effect of the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Bill of Rights of the first Convention of 1920, when we declared that no Negro shall take up arms against other men and especially against men of his race and those with whom he is in sympathy, without first knowing what he is about to fight for. (Applause). The Negroes of the world have no cause against India. The Negroes of the world, on the contrary, are in sympathy with India (applause) and there are 600,000,000 Negroes who are prepared to stand behind 880,000,000 Indians to see that they get their freedom. (Renewed applause) Cabes British Authorities The time for dividing and conquering is past; therefore, in the spirit of the movement we represent. I am about to send this cable to David Lloyd George, British Premier: To David Lloyd George, British Premier, 10 Downing Street, London. Four hundred million negroes are in sympathy with Mahatma Gandh. whom you have arrested. We are for the freedom of India and the complete liberation of the African colonies, including the Nigaras, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast and Southwest and East Africa, which you nation all that is good, but not all that is evil, the liberties of the darker and weak peoples of the earth. Rome, Greece, Spain, Germany fall because of imperialistic-designs and aggression. May you profit by their experience by getting now to avert the bloody conflict that threatens all humanity. Let, we have PEACE by being just, is the prayer of four hundred million Negroes.

MARCUS GARVEY, Provisional President of Africa* Madras Mant Madre, British India* Four hundred million Negroes are in sympathy with Mahatma Gandhi. We hope for the freedom of India. Provisional President of Africa " Cable Messaging Endorsed Hon R L. Poston, 2nd Assistant Secretary General, in moving the endurement and sending of the cablegraph said. We have read with a deal of interest the great struggle of this great man Gandhi, and as a people suffering similar to his people, naturally our sympathies have gone out with downstream India. Great Britain has made up in her mind to determine all civilization of none effect if it does not in full cooperation with her methods of destruction and as Gandhi like the simple way of his people, because he is not a man of the world, because he calls back to his people the simple spinning wheel Great Britain is attempting to destroy him, and through him destroy the aspirations of the 380,000 Indians in the world. The Universal Negro Improvement Association naturally protests against such a thing as that I wonder what excuse will England give to the world for the terrible act. Certainly (Gandhi) has done her no harm to preach what they call a passive resistance. I who try to study the movements of the world have not been able to understand Gandhi. I have always thought he was too good to Great Britain. He has been going quietly about his business of organizing his people. He has not called out an army against the treacherous alien people, yet, in the face of all this, they have imprisoned him and the Indian man; he must do as I say or the Indian man does, and knowing the principles of this great organization, knowing that we love freedom better than life, I move you air, that those cables he sent as expressing the sentiments and sympathies of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. (Appeace) Mr G E Carter, special assistant to the President-General, in a brief but appropriate address, seconded the motion which was unanimously carried with acclamation, the entire assembly, the man standing and observing vociferously. Upon resuming the chair, Mr Garvey addressed the audience as follows: addressed the audience as follows: My subject for tonight is "The Path of Liberty" For four and a half years the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been spreading a propaganda among the Negro peoples of the world, from whom it is hoped we will one day emancipate ourselves and free the country of our forfathers. Within that period of time we have met with opposition from within, as well as from without, but because of the righteousness of your cause, you have triumphed, and tonight it is for me to tell you that your organization cannot be estimated from your performances in New York alone, from your demonstrations in New York alone. For you to appreciate the true worth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, you must travel into other parts, where the spirit of liberty, the enthusiasm for this movement, knows no limits, knows no bounda. As the President General of the movement, I am brought into touch, through your dependence, with the support, with the supporters, the members, the followers of this great organization everywhere. There is no part of the world where Negroes live from which we haven't received a hearty response in support of this great programme of ours. Good News from the West I have just returned from a trip to the West, in which trip I took in some of the Eastern States as well, going through New York, the State of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas, and it is for me to tell you that the enthusiasm, the loyalty of our members in other parts can be equalled with yours in Liberty at any time. Appreciably, our enthusiasm goes hand in hand, above that of other members in other sections of this country, or in other parts of the world. I was very much surprised—and you know how much faith and confidence I have in the strength of this organization and in the membership of this organization —but when I struck the outlying branches of this association I was more than surprised to see the demon- ration of locally manifested to the colors of the Red the Black and Green, and especially at a time when the whole country, the whole world; as it were, is organized against us in a wacked propaganda to discredit our efforts and to discredit our doings. As the West Indian leader said about new members enrolling under the colors of the organization in Cleveland, immediately after my arrest, such also was the attitude and action of the people of the city of Detroit. I appeared in Detroit three nights. I spoke two nights at a hall by the name of Turner Hall, wherein there were jammed 2,000 people to hear me each night and there were turned away twice as many on both occasions. On the third night I spoke in the Arcadia, to 4,000 Negroes, each one of whom paid 50 cents admission, and they stayed there that night until 12 o'clock as they did it; the two previous meetings, to give their moral and their financial support to the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The same kind of enthusiasm was maintained all through the Western States, in Indiana, in Illinois, in Missouri and in Kansas, the people were as loyal to our programme and to our organization as you and I could desire and since my return to New York I have discovered that the same kind of loyalty is manifested by the foreign divisions of the organization. The moment I landed in New York I received a cable from Sydney, Australia, where we have a division, who manifested their loyalty 100 per cent after hearing and reading in the Sydney papers of my arrest here a few weeks ago. This, therefore proves to you that there is absolutely no cause for you to stacken one bit in your loyalty and devotion to this great cause. There are some of us—I mean not members of the organization but merely members of the race—who seem to become downhearted and discouraged because certain things have happened to the movement, as happens to other movements that seek the liberation of the oppressed people of the world as well as our own race. There are many people who believe that the cause of the Indians is lost because of the arrest of Mahmur Gandhi. They do not understand the psychology of great movements. They do not well appreciate the valuable records of history: records that attest the struggles, the sacrifices made by leaders for the rights and liberties of their people. Those of you who are students of history know that all reform movements can form movements that are worth while. And as the leaders are concerned—had they to pay the price of the liberty of the people in whose interest and for whose freedom they were begun. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, like other great reform movements, will have to pay the price, through its leaders; and, as I have often said to you, the leaders of this movement must not expect to lead on a bed of roses. They will have to lead as Mofwainy led; they will have to lead as Gandhi is leading now: they will have to lead through sacrifice and sometimes, it may be, through death. Cause of U. N. I. A. Likened to Other Great Cause The cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands out even as the East Indian cause stands out; even as the Egyptian cause stands out; even as the Lish cause stands out, and you know the history of the Irish cause, which is a history of 750 years of sacrifice. You know the history of the cause of Egypt, which is a cause of sacrifice of many decades. You know the history of the cause of India, which is a cause of sacrifice of centuries; and if you expect the freedom of Africa, if you expect an amenable race, your leaders must be prepared to pay a similar sacrifice, as paid by the leaders of other great movements for the unfit and liberty of other people. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, is committed to the first battle, whether Kakoum Carvery or other native kakoum, the last battle if the latter be fought by Kakoum. GET READY TO SEND YOUR DEPUTIES AND DELEGATES Among the many things to be discussed at the Convention will be: 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. that price at any time. There are some of our leaders who believe that we can lead with silk stockings an. living in beautiful parlors at home and settle the question in that way. We have to settle it, some of us, perhaps, in jail, we have to settle it, some of us, perhaps, on the gallows, and those of us who lead the Universal Negro Improvement Association are well prepared for whatever eventuality, in the form of a sacrifice, that we may have to meet. As I went throughout the country, especially on my Western tour, and to the Eastern States as well, every time I boarded a train, or was about to board a train, to go into another State, I would get a report that I am to be arrested on my arrival. I was to have been arrested a hundred times since I left here. But that news was brought to me on the ove of my departure for the express purpose of intimidating me. and to frighten me away from going to that place; and that is the kind of propaganda they, our enemies, have endeavored and are endeavoring to work on the minds of the people all over this country. But you see me here again in New York, and I have gone as far as Kanas City, Kana. In some of the meetings I addressed we were well supported by the stalwart copa, as well as by the secret service men of our government, and other officials of the city and State. But, as you know, the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is of such a character that those of us who lead can always take care of ourselves. Some of us, however, are fearful of consequences; but those of us who lead, know that the only consequence to be counted, is the consequence of a free and redeemed Africa, the consequence of an emancipated race. (Applause.) Yes, as I have gathered since my return, you have done splendidly by your support of the organization during my absence. I want you to continue that support during the present month, because I will have to spend all of that time in going over matters of great importance affecting the welfare of the organization, and that will require my personal attention. I am again contemplating a trip through the nation which will probably take a longer period of time than I have spent before, and I want you in New York to do as the people in Michigan, Illinois and the other States are doing. They are determined to roll up an organization three times as strong as it is now between now and the next convention. We want you in New York to play your part; to do your duty, your work is becoming so burdensome; the organization is becoming so big that it is very hard and difficult for us to find the kind of people to lead this big movement, and we hope that the next convention will bring to us not only the old man who have always been with us, but will bring to us from the scattered parts of the world men who are able—men who are prepared to cope with this huge work that confronts us pow. U. N. I. A. an international Movement You will realize that your movement is no longer a State movement or a national movement; it has become an international movement that is being respected today not only by individuals but by government—a movement that is being watched not only by individuals but by governments—a movement that you must present to the world men with brains and minds and hearts big enough to handle the big questions that confront us from time to time. We have therefore to do the best we can in spreading the work and easily the propaganda and at the same time to bring in among us men who are prepared, men who are able to this bigger cause to victory. Must Present Our Next to the World You will realize that this is the time the Negro to present his best to the world in intellect, in ability, in everything. This is the time when all the races of the world whether they be white or yellow, are presenting their best in intellect. In so far as leadership is concerned, England has presented to us the great Kloyd George and the great Arthur J. Sullivan, Japan has presented to us the great Ishii and Baron Kato; France has presented to us the great Napoleon and presented to us Gonnam and Matsumai; therefore the time has come for this Negro to present his biggest minds, his biggest brain, his biggest intelligence to the world, because you have to cope with the biggest minds of the world for the cause that you have dear to your heart. I am therefore asking you to be few couraged in every way. Your association stands tonight the strongest move; ment among Negroes; there is no quen- tion about that; there is no disgrace about that. Even our enemies admit the power and force and strength of (Combined on page 10). [- UNLA Nes | INCE OF W.

Literary Editor of the Negro World — Dear Sir.—Permit me space in your valuable journal, the Negro World, to insert the following: — The Universal Negro Improvement Association asks of every self-respecting Negro to contribute 15 or more to the African Redemption Fund. The President General further tells us that if every Negro in the world would answer the call, in twelve months enough money would be raised to make the Negro race permanently a power among the other races and nations of the world, yet there are so many who are still indifferent to their economic and political welfare and will not answer to the call Let me solemnly entreat those of us who have caught the vision of the U. N I. A. to do all you can financially and otherwise in order that we shall put over the great and glorious programme of our great organization. All loyal members of the U. N I. A should aim at least to get a Certificate of Loyalty annually, and not to be satisfied to subscribe only once to the African Redemption Fund. Remember that in a hive of bees there are also drones, and the working bees have to do for themselves and their lazy comrades. Nothing discourages a true U. N I. A man, for his supreme ambition is to see the programme put over, and he knows that nothing can be done without money and so money, is insignificant to him where the freedom of his race is concerned. The fact is all true U. N I. A members have consecrated themselves to the cause and can joyfully sing — Take my silver and my gold Not a mite would I withhold Take my intellect and use Lieve! power for Afrika once I sincerely) hope all self-respecting Negroes the world over will see that the programme of the U N I A is an urgent one, and not put off for torrow what can be done today. Some of us sometimes talk as if Mr. Garvey through the U N I A should perform some Aladin like miracle by having dozens of ships on the sea and hundreds of factories all over the world, when in reality some of us have never subscribed a cent to the programme of the U N I A. Where is Mr. Garvey to get money if we do not furnish it? He has no mint and cannot coin money until Africa is redeemed. I should like to say that Mr. Garvey is only a member of the 400- 000,000 Negroes of the world, and a very well dressed lady. Let us not for one moment think that Mr Garvey is more responsible for the programme of the U N I A than any other liberty-loving Negro. True, he is the founder and today President General of the movement, but it takes unity to put it over the top. What I would like to see is that every Negro in the world having confidence in himself and feeling himself a Marvin Garvey, fearing none but God and in less than two months Africa would be redeemed. Your fraternity ARNOLD H. CUNNING Pleasant Oriente Cute MY FUTURE HOME IN THE FIELD OF HONOR --- As I repeat these words I am carried away to that tiny valley of avon (Africa) where fall, no rain hall nor snow, in comparison to the trials that we have had here and, where we shall rest from our many years of hard labor we have had here and, where that it shall cost us, yen and man or "serious blood". But what I that "What has man obtained without having to pay, clearly for it!" Home day in that tropical land we shall have our soldiers marching across the fields, and our Black Cross Nurses making many wearying steps from bed to bed caring for our suffering men. We shall have our Florence Nightingales on the battlefields nursing the wounded. For myself I intend to be a Frances Wilson Haud. who gave up her beautiful chateau for a hospital to help care for the wounded, and when the roads were to be guarded by the man of the village, who but Frances took a night in place of the men? And I am positively sure such women are not that I shall this black race of ours. Not that I shall home or mansion in Africa, but I shall have the same spirit of Frances W Haud. I shall do all in my power to aid in the redeeming of our long lost home. We must contribute more to the African Redemption Fund, for Africa must be redeemed within another twenty-five years. Some may say that is too short a time, but we must get together and with will power bring about the freeing of the country, not only a small part, but, yea, the entire continent, and by the help of the Great Above we shall be it. Let us give to the African Redemption Fund, not for a name, nor for fame, nature because our friends give, but because we feel within our souls that it is needed for the government which now is in churny. You must for the freeing of Africa. A. E. WALKER. Portland, Conn. UNCLE SAM MAKES ARTIST OF NEGRO Julian C. Robinson, Full-Blooded Negro, an Outstanding Member of Xavier Martinez Life Class—War Record Wins Artistic Career for Soldier Injured in Country Service WITH THE CONTRIBUTING EDITOR HUBERT H. HARRISON By Louise M. O'Mara in the San Francisco Call Julian C. Robinson, Negro, wanted to be a farmer, but the government decided that he had made a better sculptor so he studying art at the expense of the government instead of ploughing fields and pruning trees. And he's happy to have the opportunity of proving that a full-blooded Negro" as he himself puts it, can excel in art as well as in agriculture. Robinson paused a moment in his sketch of Xavier Martina, prominent painter and his teacher at the California School of Arts and Crafts, to justify the aspirations of his race. "A colored man seldom gets a chance to express himself in the finer arts but I would like to prove that there is just as much art in me as in anyone else, and that is why I would rise and even excel others as an artist. "I didn't take up art of my own volition," he said, while Martina occupied the rest intervals puffing away at his interminable cigarette, or offering a word of direction. I wanted to take up agriculture when the government sent me to the university for vocational training, but the chief of the federal board felt that my defective hearing would interfere with my success in that line. I partly lost my hearing when soldiering on the Mexican border, he explained, "so he suggested that I substitute art for agriculture Subject In Jester Martines toasted aside his cigarette a Robinson again ummed his smoke a Kiss again A BATCH OF BOOKS Lady Lock by Hugh Wiley-Alfred A Knopf The Philosophy of Mary by Harry Waton—The Mara Institute The Sense of Honor, by Max Eastman Charles Scribner's Sona Hugh Wiley like Octavus Roy Cohen in a white man who has devoted Art which is long, and Time, which is feeling to the task of limning the life of the Brother in Black for the delocation of white people. Cohen's characters are more varied, however, than those of Wiley, who concentrate upon one particular star—the irresponsible Vitus Marden ex-soldier of the late A. L. F philandered with Fortune, and knight of the galloping dominos otherwise known as the Wildcat. The other characters in these humorous short stories are simply satellites around this central sun This dukyk pharoon has a mascot, to wit a goat which followed him from France and who hides her talents under the unusual monster of Lily Lily is the living symbol of Lady Lily who hides them in fateful seas or last fortune combinations as her whim directs. The Wildcat's philosophy of life is I don't bother work don't bother me. I use for times as happy as a bumble bee. I cats when I kin get it, I sleep mills all de time. I don'a give a doggone if the sun don't never shine. But you are not to think that he lives down to that philosophy. Indeed not. He works Sometimes as a Pullman porter sometimes as a long-sharesman sometimes as an effort agriculturalist and even as De Woolship Temporary Boopreme Leadeh of something or other the dialect of the Wildcat is a triumph of language—especially when he is coaxing them to fall straight. It is shot through with the iridescent hues of humor, imagination, poetry and precision Figures of speech that tickle and intrigue seem to roll from his lips in a never ending and laugh-compelling stream. "Cap'n, suh, I cap' is much obgliged, but if I never see a fish again, date's twice too soon 'fo me." "Heah dat boy snore! Snore lak he'chokin' to death." "Ain't chokin'. At's a fat boy wid de alcohol snorna." "Ah'll say you does." "Does what?" "Sees an' heahs wjd yo' nose. Did anybody bust you in de beak day'd knock you deaf an' blind." This Wildcat is a genial happy-guilty gentleman and three episodes of his checkered career which Mr Wiley reproduced for our enjoyment are every one worth whittle. "Lady Luck" is enjoyable reading—and what more should one want? Mr Waton is a Jewish lawyer trained in the dialectic subtilities of the Talmud and old Hegel. His little book sets forth in awe allosophical fashion the foundation principles of that Marxian theory with which the Socialists would transform the world. As he sets it forth it seems profound and flawless in logic. It is a wonderfully clear presentation of basic principles, marred here and there by the rasping effect of an im- proved mastery of grammatical forms and sentence structure, on page 104, where we are informed that potatoes grew, from potato seed! THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1822 SUPPRESSED FACTS TOLD SUPPRESSED FACTS TOLD Do you know that most wonderful facts about the Negro have been suppressed for centuries? The Negro World says of this book: "It is a masterpiece of sociological handling written with a wealth of information and breadth of view unpursued by any author, white or black. The greatest contribution get made by any Negro writer to the Race question." said with a characteristic nod. Robinson sketches easily, carefully, with an eager, boyish interest in his work, and Martina is an ideal subject who lives up his posing with a humorous observation now and again at which he laughs as heartily as anyone. "Look at this status," he said, holding up a wood carving typically African in character. "It is absolutely pure and simple in line and at the same time has the third dimension—depth—which I feel Michael Angelo lacks. Some of my friends call it a proteaeque " he added with a shrug and laugh "but the Negro is a pure primitive and has an elemental feeling for line. Roger Fry, painter and former curator of the Metropolitan Museum. New York backs my contention. Robinson has studied art since November 1919, when the government placed him in the California School of Arts and Creatives for vocational training, and he has been in the classes of "Marry," as the pupils of Martina affectiously call their instructor, since last July Area Artistic Goal "Tea, I expect to see Robinson reach his goal," said Martinez. "Why shouldn't we expect something of a Negro when he has such a magnificent background of sculpture? His still life paintings are quite realistic and show a curious touch of abstraction. But no sculptor makes a sculpture. But simply trains and develops that talent with which a person has been born, and to create new forms you have to be 'born.' I think that Robinson has been 'born.'" note that it is only the Spencerian ontology and epistemology that engage the author's affections. the Spencerian biology and sociology are not given the freedom of the houses. Nevertheless, this book of Mr. Waton's is of considerable merit as an exposition of Marxian ideals and aims, and of these there is no better brief handbook at present among American writings. Max Eastman's book is somewhat out of luck. The Sense of Humor is a great book, and deserves two full columns of interpretation. To attempt to compress it into a couple of paragraphs is little short of vandalism. There is no other radical writer in America with the scope, fluidity and poise of Max Eastman of commanding intellect, he sees that life is a rigorous. A poet and ardent romantic taste and feeling, he brings his emotions to time with the firm grip of fact and science. The book is an attempt to explore the field of humor, to find out its why and how. It is scholarly without being pedantic, and ranges from Aeschylus to George Ade. Humor is the most philosophic of all the emotions, he tells us, and, under his treatment it appears so. Yet when we follow that trail we find that Life is the one great cosmic joke which Nature plays. Happily he is who can laugh when he finds that the joke is on him' The book consists of 72 chapters, of which the first eleven set forth with each method the various forms of humor from the pun at the bottom to irony at the top, the second eleven discuss and pass in review the different theories of humor from Plato to Max Eustatian—between which two terminals there is much similarity. It will well repay careful reading, for it contains a mint of wisdom and a mine of information H H CAPTAIN KING AND STAFF VISIT JUVENILE BRANCH The Juvenile Branch of Chapter No. 1, this city, was honored with a visit from Captain King and the Juveniles of the first division of New York Local, U. N. L. A. The branch was overjoyed with the fine showing it made. After the drills were over Captain King made an address to the Juveniles of Chapter No. 1, urging them to stick to the post. He also asked the parents to give him their co-operation, as the Juveniles of Chapter No. 1 could only function properly through the aid of the parents. Mr. J. E. Samuels. President of the Chapter, complimented the Captain and his staff. Captain Nickens. organizer of the Legion of Chapter No. 1, also complimented the children for their good work. U. N. L. A. CHAPTER LEASES NEW BUILDING Chapter No. 1 of the U. N. L. A. (New York City), under the leadership of J. E. Samuels so increased their activities during the year 1921 that it outgrew its hall on West End avenue and was compelled to lease a larger place at 123 West 8th street. An effort was made to have the Hon. Marcus Garvey dedicate the hall on the 19th, but owing to unforeseen circumstances the Hon. Mr. Garvey presented a memorial in his stead, Mr. Durant to the High Commissioner of New York State who urged the members to a greater effort for the cause of the C N I A and declared that Mr. Garvey had made history and at the same time revolutionized the opinion held among the whites that Negroes could not organize and keep organized for their own good. He congratulated the chapter for streaming the children and their work. Chapter 1. holds meetings every night in the week and unusual lectures or divine services every Sunday. Tuesday and Friday nights are devoted to the children, who are being drilled and taught extemporaneous public speaking. A business school was to have been opened, but that was postponed to a later date and when it does be well equipped and have competent teachers. Wishing to establish a fellowship with the other organizations and missions of the community, the chapter has community prayer meetings each Monday, to which all denominations and creeds are invited. A special feature which appeals to the younger set is the Saturday night dance for the members and their friends. Any member of the U.N.A. has a special standing invitation to come to this dance and bring friends. Last, but not least, is the chapter's store, located at 203 West 61st street, where one can buy many imported delicacies not found anywhere else in the neighborhood. Growing steadily and increasing its activities proportionately and becoming a factor in reckoning with in the community SPRING IS COMING! WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU? Spring season is knocking at your door. The comedian on the stage is singing "Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring." The basket ball player is anugly storing his togs in the closet to quietly sleep until another season. Judge Landis, baseball magnates and players have departed South for spring training. Tennis clubs are meeting to formulate plans for the coming season. The busy housewife is engaged in spring cleaning, with the children crying to be relieved of their "heaviest." The fisherman is examining his tanklea. The blood that courses lastly through your veins has taken on "bep." To every rational mind Negro this season should suggest a change in the social, economic and political order of things as they affect the Negro. This season should suggest organization which brings unity cooperation and ultimately social, economic and political freedom. If this season has suggested to you a change in your order of things and you are looking for an outlet the Universal Negro Improvement Association welcomes you. If you are burdened, footnote and heavily laden you will find an amyulum in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. PHILADELPHIA, March 13—Sunday. March 5, the Philadelphia Division was visited by the Right Hon. Minister of Legiona, Capt. E. C. Gaines. He predicted the ultimate success of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and flayed the enemies of the movement. Mrs. A.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922 El Pueblo de la India Odin y Odinará Siempre a Inglaterra El Secretario de Estado por India, S Montagu, ha pronunciado recientemente en Londres un discuro concerniente a los asuntos de la India, durante el cual dijo, "Estamos en favor de 'swart' (gobierno propio) como dicen ellos en su imperio. Les conduciremos por el unico camino que creemos apropiado para su propio éxito. Es autentico que aquellos que perturban la paz en el país demandan el gobierno propio, en la creencia de que este puede conseguir con más raudete por medio de revulsion." Todos Los Pueblos Del Universo Han Tenido Su Época de Oposición. Este Es Para Norotros un Período de Prueba. La Raza Negra Triunfará Apesar de Los Contratiempos Proporcionados Por el Espíritu de Oposición. Cuatrocientos Millones de Negros Se Emunciparán a Sí Mismos. Los Irlandeses Lucharon Setecientos Cincuenta Años Por Su Libertad. El Negro Del Presente Puede Hacerlo Ahora El progreso es una posibilidad no por medio de revueltura, sino por medio de evolución. El señor Montagu sabe que India gobernada por si misma, nunca será aliada del Imperio Británico. Sabe que esto sera imposible, porque el pueblo de la India odia a Inglaterra en mayor grado que cualquier nación puerta ochar a otra otra hacer la primera abusado de la debilidad de la segunda. Afrontamos actualmente el período de prueba de nuestra raza, cruzando por el fragor de una lucha de oposición, cuyo resultado ha de determinar nuestra consolidación y posición entre las demas razas del mundo o nuestra completa exterminación. El pueblo de la India oda a Inglaterra por haber destruido todo lo que cada raza considera tan querido para la destrucción de su cultura, de su educación, de su agricultura, de su industria, de su conterio, de su prosperidad, de su propio respeto y un considerable número de millones de sus propias vidas Todas las naciones como todas las razas que han trabajado por su engrandecimiento, han tenido primero que vencer un sinnúmero de dificultades ocasionadas por aquellas otras naciones o razas que han pretendido subyugar las primeras a su antojo. En la época actual muchas de las naciones y razas oprímidas se han levantado en una atmósfera gloriosa de libertad. La ultima entre ellas por arribar a ese punto de desarrollo progresista es el Egipto. Despues de una lucha de muchas decadas, los habitantes de ese país estan por recibir su libertad de manos de sus opresores. Nada que registren las estadísticas de ese país, puede igualarse a la destrucción de vidas ocasionadas por la miseria, debido al mal gobierno de Inglaterra y al latromo organizado en gran escala. Treinta y tres millones de habitantes murieron de hanbre en la India hace cuatro años, porque Inglaterra, por medio de la fuerza, se prosecciono de millones de toneladas de cereales, los cuales eran el sustento de cada hombre, mujer y niño que sufrio el tormento de una muerte tan horrenda. Todo esto ha sido el resultado de haberse ellos abilitados para sostener la prueba de oposición ejecutada en su contra. Nosotros, como los egipcios, estamos también actualmente sometidos a ls misma prueba; el que salgamos triunfantes o no, depende principalmente de nuestra actitud como hombres. El odio entre estos dos pueblos es irreconciliable, porque Inglaterra destruyo la gran cultura India, aquella cultura esplendida de cuatro mil años, la cual incluía una eminencia en filosofía, en artes y en ciencias, que cualquier nacion se hubiera sentido orgulosa de poseer y desarrollar. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra opina que debemos vivir como los demas miembros de la familia humana y labora con ese fin. Las armas destructoras han sido usadas en contra nuestra y en todas direcciones; pero hoy este gran movimiento universal se levanta por encima de todo obstáculo, por encima de toda dificultad, por encima de toda oposición, convenciéndonos una vez mas que esta raza nuestra continuará en su camino hasta que el Africa sea declarada completamente libre. El odio entre estos dos pueblos es irreconcilable, porque inglaterra, tan pronto como le fué posible, con una intención deliberada del asesinato de la raza, destruyó las instituciones educativas de la India, bajo las cuales el esenta por ciento de sus habitantes podían leer y escribir hace cincuenta años, mientras que los ingleses eran analfabetos casi en su totalidad. La labor de los irlandeses por su libertad duró estecientos cincuenta años; la labor de los egipcios, con el mismo propósito, ha durado varias decadas; nuestra labor ha poco ha empezado; estamos templándonos para la lucha y ya dure esta mil años, quinientos años, cien años, cincuenta años, lucharemos valerosamente en la batalla, hasta conseguir la victoria. Cuando Inglaterra se posectione de la India, la agricultura, industria y comercio de esta era floreciente, la fama de su riqueza, "La riqueza de la India" era un pase valido en el universo entero. Como un parasito monstruoso revestido de poder, Inglaterra ha venido desangrande la India y pasandola a sus propias venas, por cuento cincuenta años Cuando contemplamos la grandeza adquirida por el hombre en épocas pasadas, no dudamos que por nuestro propio esfuerzo, nosotros también podemos adquirir tales grandezas. Tenemos ante nuestra vista un gran número de ejemplos esplendidos de razas y naciones libradas de la opresión, por medio de su propio esfuerzo concentrado. Durante este ultimo siglo, la base del progreso industrial y comercial de Inglaterra, ha sido la savia extraída de la vida de la India Iloy esta, desangrada, pálida y llena de miserias, se prepara para emanciparse de esas torturas asesinas o morrer al instante. Nuestro programa habrá surgido tarde, pero tenemos suficiente fé y confianza en nosotros mismos y por este medio nos reforzaremos finalmente para continuar la propotente labor que hemos enprendido y la cual creemos una necesidad improsindible. Con la determinación de nuestro pensar y sentir, podremos contribuir grandemente a la civilización de este mundo, realizando todo lo que otros haven podido realizar. Por estas y otras tantas razones el senior Montagu sabe que la India no permanecera por un inimigo en el imperio britanico, después que haya adquirido el poder fisco de salir de el. El gobierno propio o poder de organizarse, dara inmediatamente a trescientos millones de habitantes, suficiente poder para deshacerse de un "socio" detestable el cual vive a diez mil millas de distancia. Los que dirigen este gran movimiento han delineado el curso que se ha de seguir para conducir nuestra raza hacia su propio destino. Sus ordenes son las de unir nuestras fuerzas en todas partes, de modo que como una potente unidad marchemos adelante, sin temer al enemigo, conquistando a nuestro paso todas las intercepciones, hasta conseguir nuestra verdadera emancipación y establecer una nación que sea nuestra para siempre. Si la India no sintiera estos terribles resquemores en contra de Inglaterra, la diferencia en cultura, en raza, en situación topográfica e intereses materiales haria tal asociación entre ellas tan consistente, como lo son las figuras en las nubes. El señor Montaguy y todo inglés inteligente sabe que la "asociación" de Inglaterra con la India tiene que ser impuesta por la fuerza, sinembargo este poder pierde terreno gradualmente cada dia. Nacionalidad es el ideal más elevado de todos los pueblos; muchos de ellos han perecido en la lucha por su realización. Cuando contemplamos los sacrificios y sufrimientos de los mártires por el adelanto de sus razas y de sus naciones, no debemos perder un solo átomo de nuestra fé y esperanza; estamos en el deber de sacrificarnos, estamos en el deber de sucumbir si necesario fuera, por le prosperidad de nuestra propia raza y de nuestra urple nación. El Arquietecto J. A. Langford, Miembro de Nuestra Raza, Triunfa Por Oposición Por medio de la potencia de este movimiento, hemos inundado suficiente patriotismo en los elementos de nuestra raza, posibilitando así la labor de un programa definitivo. Este programa ha de ser sanciónado durante nuestra convención internacional que ha de celebrarse en la ciudad de Nueva York, en todo el mes de Agosto del presente año. Toda comunidad de nuestra raza está en el deber de enviar sus representantes a este gran conclave, unidas por medio de la inteligencia universal combinada, que formulará y poner en práctica el programa definitivo nos hava de proporcionar beneficios. El señor J. A. Langford, notable arquitecto e ingenier mecánico con oficinas en el número 2448 Calle "Q", Washington, D. C., se ha hecho cargo de la delineación de los planes y dirección de los trabajos de construcción del Chappelle Hall y Auditorium de la Universidad de Allen, en oposición a varios arquitectos de la ciudad, siendo esta una victoria para el señor Langford. Este edificio se será de estilo colonial con todos los requisitos de la construcción moderna. Ademas de sus distintos departamentos, tendrá un auditorio con una galería de estilo romano e el cielo acomodará dos mil perronas y un espacio escenario con cabaidas para cinduanta actores, en dunas los talentos locales y de otros altos piedad obtener la ven cual necesitamos, más que nunca, dirección; dirección bien preparada; dirección del presente. Necesitamos la clase do Livio George preparó a Inglaterra, nos orientó el Inglaterra, la Briand a su cargo la construcción del nuevo edificio del People's Federation Bank de Charleston, South Carolina. Esta institución ha progresado grandemente en el corto periodo de dos años, superando a todas las instituciones bancarias de nuestra raza en el Estado de South Carolina. Este edificio moderno tendrá seis pisos v su costo total ascenderá a unos $150 000 aproximadamente La Protesta de Haiti y Santo Domingo Se Presentó El senador Norris, republicano, de Nebraska presenta ante el senado la protesta formulada por la Haiti Santo Domingo Independence Society contra el nombramiento del brigadier general John H Russell, del cuerpo de marinos de los Estados Unidos, como alto comisionado en Haiti con el rango de embajador extraordinario. El senador presentante recomienda que la carta de protesta se refrere al comité especial del senado que investiga la situación haiti do municana Otro aspecto del nombramiento de Russell fue el esfuerzo hecho por el senador democrata King, de Utah, para que se considerara inmediatamente por el senado el proyecto de resolución que presento aver requerido al comite judicial del senado informar con que autoridad haba hecho el presidente Harding tal nombramiento sin la ratificación del senado. Debido a la ausencia de la camara del senador McCormick presidente del comite especial haitano, no se tomo en cuenta la resolución de King. La protesta de la Haiti Santo Dunque Independence Society consignada por el senador Norris, declara que el nombramiento del brigadier Russel "no tiene precedente en la historia de los Estados Unidos" y es "mas extraordinario aún por cuanto se hace antes de que el senado haya aceptado el informe del comite que esta ahora investigando la ocupación de Haiti y Santo Dunque, y ademas "el más injusticable por cuanto sus actos onelares anteriores por un periodo de tres años como comandante en jefe de las fuerzas de ocupación en Haiti sustenuets a graves cargos de parte del pueblo haitano." En la protesta se proceed luego a describir detalladamente los abusos que se han alegado ocurreron en Haiti durante el largo periodo que el general Russell estuvo al frente de las fuerzas de ocupación Testimonios de la Majestad de Una Raza Resentemente desde el Viento de Madrid, un ilustre portorquien habilado de la sentimentalidad comoveda que palpitaba en Puerto Rico por su libertad del gobierno extranjero.

Todos son testimonios de la majestad de una raza y todos se merecen nuestros honores y gígio rificaciones--Ll Mundo, Habana Un Observador de la India Algo más que los deshiles de una visita principea atrae el interes hacia la India actualmente. Se esta haciendo alli, bajo condiciones de dificultades excepcionales, un esfuero por gobernar a un pueblo oriental según principios políticos occidentales. Los Estados Undios tienen en la escena a un representante provado en la persona del profesor C. H. Van Tine, jefe del departamento de historia de la Universidad de Michigan. Ha tenido singulares oportunidades para estudiar el desarrollo de la nueva constitución india, para conocer a toda clase de personas y para determinar la fuerza de las diversas facones políticas. Información de primera mano ha demostrado al profesor Van Hain la falsedad de ciertas ideas sobre la India v su nuevo gobierno que curcula ahora en los Estados Unidos. En una entrevista reciente en Calcutta, ha declarado Todas estas falsedades—o al menos parte de ellas—tienen su origen en la ignorancia sobre la verdadera situación. He venido a reunir tales informaciones de todas las fuentes utilizables como puedan conducir a un juicio que pueda ser aceptado por las personas de mente abierta y pensamiento serio. He pensado muchas veces cuan absurdo es que escritores de los Estados Unidos se sienten en sus sillones y digan a Inglaterra como debe gobernar a la India asin conocimiento alguno de las complicaciones y el mismo de diversos factores con que hay que contar. Como la misión del profesor Van Tina es, para emplear propias propias palabras la do "un estudiante desinertesado" la vila la no puede menos un curso duril "New York University" Liberia Una Colonia Norte- americana, es la Opinión de Francia La república de Libería, bajo las condiciones de su empresa de $5,000,000 por el gobierno de Washington, se converte pura y simplement en una colonia africana de los Estados Unidos, dice un editorial del Depeche Coloniale, organo de los intereses coloniales franceses La cuestion del empestito es solamente un asesorio, declara el artículo, la base de cuyo tratado constituye anexion de Libería a los Estados Unidos de America. El Depeche subraya la extención de los poderes de la comisión americana, encargada de la direccion de la financia de Libería, dice que esta comisión domina la provisión del nombramiento de cualquier funcionario, incluyendo el Presidente de la Republica, así como también el cuerpo de la armada En Puerto Rico Se Aproxima Una Crisis Por Los Procedimientos Autocráticos de Reilly El comisionado residente de Puerto Rico, señor Felix Cordova Davila, que presentan la sensaciónes y graves cargos ante la camara de representantes en contra del gobernador de aquella villa Mr Mont E Reilis, demandando la investigación congressional de su administración presente en la camara copa certinaca de una resolución adoptada el día 25 del pasado Febrero por el senado portorquíneo. En ella se soluta de los Estados Unidos la separación de su cargo de Mr Reilis El comisionado Davila, al mismo tiempo dio la publicidad una declaración, en la que manifiesta lo siguiente "Deseo informar solemnemente al pueblo americano de que la situación existente en Puerto Rico esta haciendose extremadamente aguda. Información que recoiba de periódidades conservadores de aquella isla me peruaden de que se esta aproximando una verdadera crisis. Los ciudadanos respetuosos de la ley de sí mismos, partidos del orden, han llegado va casal al limite de la resistenza humana. Me siento temeroso acerca de lo que pueda traer el día de mañana. Esta declaración no tiene el diseño de una amenaza ni debe ser interpretada como tal." El señor Cordova Davila declaró que, cono representante debidamente acertidad del pueblo de Puerto Rico, sentía que tenía el deber de llamar la atención hacia lo serio de la situación "Tal estado de cosas ha sido producido, agregó por la implantación de los procedimientos político de violencia, autocratatos e unaméricanos que ha seguido E. Montgomery Reilly". El missionado afirma que se habia hasta ahora ignorado las apelaciones del pueblo de Puerto Rico requiriendo la retirada del gobernador. L mismo en que en su demanda de una investigación con congreso no había nada de irrazonable. Si los cargos contra el gobernador Reilly son infundados, doy el congreso tiene derecho a una plena exoneración de las acusaciones lanzadas en su contra, si los cargos se sostienen conprueban debe ser retirado en mediamente. Haiti Quiere Que Cesc la Ocupación Militar La retrada de las fuerzas norteamericanas de ocupacion, lo mas pronto posible, es el desejo de la mayoría de los haitianos, ha declarado hoy el Dr Ernest H Gruening, gerente editor de "The Nation", ante el comité especial del senado que investiga los asuntos de Haiti y Santo Domingo Al hablar de su viaje a Haiti, Gruening dijo que el podria decir en general que el sentimiento hacia los Estados Unidos era una mezela de amistad y asombro. La idea que dice encontró prevalenciendo en general en el pueblo haitiano, fué que los Estados Unidos no podían saber ó comprender lo que habia ocurrido en Haiti. En concreto saco de su viaje que los haitianos tenian mucha esperanza en la investigación del comité senatorial, pero mezclada esta esperanza con la duda y el cimiso, debido a que las investigaciones que se habian hecho anteriormente no condujeron a ningún buen resultado. Dijo finalmente que no habia encontrado a nadie que no hiciera graves críticas a la ocupación, ni nadie que quisiera que continuara más allá del tiempo necesario para restablecer el orden y la población quería que se retiraran lo más pronto posible.

Pese a las deslumbrantes pimpas del viage del heredero imperial, las muchedumbres nacionalistas han permanecido esquivas y reservadas. En varias regiones, vivimos aun los ocos de la recepción de los leales indios al prínipe de Gales, estallaron disturbs de protección. Y en tres distintas ocasiones, pudo el futuro reviver la sangre de sus subditos de oriente derramada por impiñen una susión que va rapidamente arrancho do su guante al imperio. Las horas de Inglaterra en la India están contadas. Las reben contida hasta ahora, como en Irianda como en Egipto, bractea pronto aberrante. Y cuando ello acontece el practico espirritu nglas pastura un concerto mas o menos habil para dar paso a la inevitable emancipación. Estudia el mundo entero la crisis del imperio británico con especta- nciente creciente Muchos terrosos admiradores tiene Albion En los Estados Unidos forman entre las clases elevadas Y no ha tenido nunca simpata en los mejores centros de la política la intelectualidad y la sociedad americana nada que trascendi a hostilidad a linglaterra Por ello es oblamente significativo el punto de vista de los militares mas autorizados del país. Los su pagnas se ha aligado a la trance la realidad del experto de la rebelda india Ahora que la crisis llega es interesante y.util con la interpretación que dan a los acontecimientos "The New York Times confesa paladinamente que la situación es muy grave. Reconoce la necesidad de más potente guarmento inglesa. Y admitite que el mundo m乌ometano esta unido para pedir la restauración del poder de Turquia, caballo de batalla ahora de los agitadores en la India. Pero al presentar esta realidad contenta suceramente la causa del estado de cosas en las "promesas de la guerra". "Como pueden concharse -pregunta- promesas de he durante las campañas de reluctamiento a los indios adeptos del Moslem con las promesas hechas a los judíos v a los arabes del Hezrat". PorMODEble que parezca sentente uno inclinado a creer que se hicieron demasadas promesas". Naya si se hicieron. Inglaterra promete a los adeptos del Moslem que se mantendria intato el imperio del Islam que abarca Jeremiah y la Meca Prometea a los judos la Terra Sarta y la Palestina Prometea a los arabes su ideal secular de libertad Demasiadas promesas, en efecto, y contradictorias mus contradictorias Por ese logo el efecto Los contingentes acudieron de todas partes del mundo a morir por la causa de la libertad frente a Alemania Yahora, al cabo de los años, venen los pueblos ilusionados a encontrar las promesas burladas y sus ideales vanos Es tarde para Inglaterra por lo que se ve. En Marruecos, en la Laiba, em Abisinia, en todo el centro de Atrica, la fe de Mahoma congrega mullones en un freretico he de voluntades que acaba de ponerse en marcha. Lo que el porvenir depare a la civilización occidental, es difici prever. Lo que en fecha proxima espera a anglaterra en sus nimientos dominios de Asia, es más visible. Ghandi y sus partidarios tienen ganada la causa ante el tribunal de la justicia universal. Pelaen por el derecho a gobernarse, por el principio de las nacionalidades que levantó como un muro de hierro al conjuro aliado, en la ultima guerra. Ha llegado el instante de hacer efectivo ese derecho. La Gran Bretagna tiene que reconocerlo o pelare una sangrenta y larga guerra. Y para esta, es difícil que logre nuevas promesas que utilizar en el momento de peligro.—La Prensa, Nueva York. NOTAS EDITORIALES El Hon. Martin C. Ansorge, representante por el Estado de Nueva York, ha hecho manifestaciones en la Camara con razones convincentes, en connección con el proyecto de ley Dyer, el cual prohíbe los linkhamientos, sánctionando actualmente en el Senado. Rasado en el principio de quinquenio Estado debería nerar a pen sona alguna la protección por igual la leyes, el Hon. Ansorge ha demostrado vivo interés por los requisitos políticos de los interesados. Su discuro pronunciado en la Camara el 25 de Enero, fue una joya de elocuencia historica. Entre otras cosas dio "La esclavitud como institución, ha sido condenada por la declaración de emancipación del Presidente Lincoln la cual tuvo efecto en Finado de 1863. Por virtud de esta los Negros fueron puestos en compleja liberal por los jefes del ejército de la Union tan pronto como este tomo posection y ocupo territorio esclavo. La doctrina de que el Negro no era por más tiempo un objeto de propiedad fue simplement an un anuncio humanitario, debido a las condiciones peculiares de los Estados del Sur. De este modo notamos la presente inactividad de los gobernos de los Estados, en las regiones donde los linchamentos son tolerados. Ahora como antes, no competencia por parte de los Estados agencias y oficiales administrativos han recurrido al poder federal, cuya legislación les afecta directamente." i Las razones del Hon Ansorge no son solamente convincentes, sino que producen un conjunto de evidencia histórica, la cual no podra ser ignorada por el Senado Ocurren muy pocas veces que el Negro patrone a un representante blanco, esto sucede sinembargo, cuando este se levanta en defensa de un derecho Los Negros del Estado de Nueva York y particularmente los Negros de los Estados del Sur, han de vivir agradecidos del que movido por un sentimiento humano, defendió lorderechos del Negro, específicados en las emendadas XIII, XIV y XV de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos de America.

And although you live near close to its headquarters in New York you demand thoroughly appreciate—you cannot thoroughly understand the value and scope of this great movement. It is for those who are outside—away from you to value the work that you have undertaken in the last four years. We are being written about; we are being talked about not by the culinary man but by the bigger minds of the world; statement and diplomacy are speaking and writing about the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association upon the minds of Negroes everywhere; and the news that comes to us from our motherland Africa is enough to encourage us and to strengthen us. We have accomplished nothing more in four and half years we have organized from Coast to coast. (Applause.) If we have accomplished nothing more in 4½ years we have been able to say to a body of armed military men of our own race: "Do not go out to fight for any other race without first consulting the Universal Negro Improvement Association," and they have done that. (Great applause.) If we have accomplished nothing more in 4½ years that is enough to satisfy us. But we have done much more than that: We have practically caused an unrest the world over among the darker peoples and it is going to and in the freedom of the worker and oppressed people. Your time is coming; it is near at hand. Ireland's time came the other day. Egypt's time came just a week ago and I feel sure that in a month or so India's time will come, and between now and the convention we are determined, that Africa's time shall come. (Applause.) All that you have to do is stick to your guns; stick as you have been doing for the last 4½ years. If it comes to a showdown then let 400,000,000 Negroes die; and that is going to be some showdown because if 400,000,000 Negroes die there won't be anybody left around the globe. There are some of our leaders at the present time in the movement who seem to have the skating knee. I may ask to them that to us shaking knee leaders are worse to us than the common enemy. This is the time for men to stand up with broad backbones and shoulders and fight the issue to the bitter end. I am prepared to do my part. If can be now; it can be 20 or 50 years from now; it can be the jail or the gallows or anything. My one determination is that there must be there shall be an enamelled race and a free and redeemed Africa. (Appeals.) BIR WM. H. FERRIS SPEAKS Prof. Wm. H. FERRIS Assistant President General was the first speaker of the evening and spoke in part as follows. When we study the chasies for two or three years, after mastering the grammar and the vocabulary, we enter into the spirit of the Greek and Indian writers and see what were the thoughts of races who played a part in making history, and I remember in one quotation of Clioro in bohalf of the diligence of the poet Archias, he said one thing I have remembered as I have remembered certain passages of the Bible. He said Julius Caesar, Rome's great conqueror, claimed that Archias had been the greatest king of his reign while he had enlarged the frontiers of the Roman Empire, Archias had enlarged the boundaries and borders of mers minds. And I presume that the reason why the Universal Negro Improvement Association has utilized Negroes as no other organization has in because it has enlarged the boundaries of the Negroes' minds so that they have a world grasp upon human questions. All great things you see in this world, like the skyscrapers of New York, the subway, the underground tube and the Brooklyn Bridge, are the result of dreams of men's minds. Brighter saw the orange trees fressing in the northern part of Florida and he dreamed a dream of building a railroad to Day West, Florida. James Hall rode on horseback in the Southern States of this country and saw the possibility of farming, and the result is that we have the Northwestern Railroad. Caucasian would does not know where this movement will stop. Only the Beginning We but see the beginning of it. The launching of a boat here and the launching of a boat there, starting a laundry, a restaurant and a clothing factory—these are but the beginnings. They recall the fact that something now is stirring in the consciousness of men and that the ideas and ideals of men are being realized as the past are now working in the hearts and minds of black men. We complain of the arrogance of the Anglo-Saxon. He is arrogant because he has a background of history and a background of achievement and a background of history behind us in the distant past. What we need now is a background of achievement and history in the immediate present. I believe that no race can rise higher than its ideals. I taught in the South I was interested in hear colored students tell of their dreams and ideas. I have seen one of my scholars become a promising preacher three become promising doctors and one become a promising farmer. When a man has an idea reposing in his brain—when he formulates plans and dreams, dreams some day those dreams—those ideas, those ideals and plans will take fashion and form and shape and be realized. We are told in the Bible that "where there is no vision the people perish" I remember what it was to be lost in the woods. One sight I had to sit under an apple tree until the morning, and when the morning came I saw the sun in the East, and I knew where the North was and where the East was. That is what vision does to man, it gives him a perspective and enables him to see where he is going Leaders Without a Program Horetofore, our leaders have had no program—no constructive program and no propaganda. Whatever the Caucasian applauded that they did. A race that has no program—no constructive program—can never make headway. The reason why boats plow their way through $0.00 miles of water to London and Liverpool is because there is a captain in the cabin and he has a compass and a chart by which he takes his bearings. What the U. N. I. A. Has Taught the Negro The Universal Negro Improvement Association has taught the Negro that to gain respect and prestige and standing in the world, he must rely upon his own resources; must do big things for himself. It has taught him that what other men have accomplished he can accomplish. It has taught him that the color of the skin, the texture of the hair, or the thickness of the feature is not the index of the potentialities of the race, but it is the gray matter in the convolution of the brain and the heart and will of the man. And it is because the U. N. L. A. has given the Negro faith in God, faith in himself, faith in his leader, faith in the future of his race and faith in his destiny that we but see the beginning of a world movement that will sweep all black men everywhere, inspiring them with those impulses, those ideas, those hopes and potentialities by which they will carve a name upon the page of human history, and cause the world to look back upon the twentieth century as the century which characterised the awakening and soul uplift of the Negro peoples of the world (Applause). HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS Hon. Rudolph Smith, Leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies, upon being introduced, spoke as follows: "May it please Your Excellency, Providential President of African Members of the High Executive Council Officers and Members, Distinguished Friends and Visitors. I have been absent from you now nearly six months, during which time I have had to travel in the Buckeye State, known as Ohio. It must seem rather strange to you that I, being the West Indian Leader, should be in that part of the world. However, as it was necessary for me to be there, I went, for I promised in the last convention that I shall be an asset, rather than a liability, and I fully comprehend that from a financial standpoint I have to do my part the same as others must do their." My first stop in Ohio was Hamilton, and I bring you greetings from about three hundred members in Hamilton, which is a very small place. From Hamilton I proceeded, after staying there for two days, to Cincinnati. I need not tell you so much about Cincinnati, because you saw an account of the results there, no doubt, in the Christmas number of the Negro World, even though as it was stated, it was only a Sunday night meeting in Cincinnati. Through the efforts of the West Indian Leader it was made possible to secure an auditorium with a seating capacity of about 2,500 persons, with many prominent white persons present. The meeting was written up by the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Cincinnati Times-Star, the Cincinnati Post, and the Commercial Tribune, and at that very meeting, I challenged all opponents of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to come forward and discuss with this prominent programs of opus, which has created such a tremendous interest everywhere. I can send 't say that, the people responded well and I must also say that churches that, were not opposed to us before, opened up their doors, so that it was made possible for us to enter freely churches in the city of Cincinnati. (Aphrodite). While the minister I delivered addresses in the interviews of the Universal Newspaper involved many friends, teaching upon such an experience was worthocking as: The THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1922 New Negro." and Why Negroes Are race of ours must be redeemed. (Ap- plause.) At this psychological moment THE D Concerning Cleveland I then received instructions from His Excellency, the Provisional President of Africa and the President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to proceed to Cleveland. When I got to Cleveland, December 18 I had to take my coat roll up my shirt sleeve, and start house cleaning (Laughter). The first thing happened to me on my arrival in Cleveland, was that some one handed me a broom They tried to do the same thing as they had done to His Excellency on his return here from the West Indies last year, as you will remember, and while in the city of Cleveland I learned many things you, I learned of your enemies I learned of the President General enemies and I learned of certain members of churches (and, remember, I am not denouncing the churches, because I love them, and am a true believer in my God), but one gentleman there who has given His Excellency, the President General, a strong fight, and who is fighting him even now, at this time, started his propaganda in the city of Cleveland, and I did not let up on him one bit. I gave him no rest at all. I worked so fast until it was made possible to reinforce my army, and you know what my army was—members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We were so well reinforced that we went to the Engineers' Building, which has a seating capacity of 1,200 people, but they managed to get about 1,600 on the inside at the time when we held our meeting there, and there were 1,800 people lined along the streets for about a block and a half-trying to get in but could not. There were present all the prominent Negroes of the city, and many prominent white folks, all we could get, and we successfully put the programme over that night. About Dr. Leroy Bundy The churches in Cleveland that had been opposed to us, as shown by their hostility to His Excellency on his visit there some time ago, among which was the Dry Stone Baptist Church and the Shiloh Baptist Church, opened their doors to us, and I went in and I stormed them (Laughter and applause). After finishing up at the churches, they made it possible for me to get to Prospect Theatre, where white and colored people came out to hear me, and we had a wonderful meeting there. Such was the interest manifested at this meeting that several prominent Negroes joined the movement, and let me tell you that you now have as President of the Cleveland Division Dr Leroy Bundy, of East St Louis riot fame. (Applause) Dr Leroy Bundy will be here this week He fought energetically in behalf of our cause, and, though a practicing dentist, he said, "I shall do my part." I saw political Negroes joining the movement, too. But I need not enlarge on this matter too much. I do not know what you have heard, but the Secretary General and others here can tell you what I have done, and if you do not hear it at this time, when the next convention meets you will surly hear all about it then. (Applause) I told you once when I made so many thousand dollars, that I believed in going out and getting results. The time came to prove it, and I did so. I am still at it, and I am still doing it. And so forth. I have but a very short time to stay in New York now, because I am looking away over to the West Indies and to South America. Now, I have got to hustle and hustle mighty fast. But let me tell you, even if it is only two months, I will do my job, and do it so well that the results accomplished will be satisfactory to every one, because when I start I don't mean to stop. Favorable Effect of Garvey's Arrest Now, let me assure you that the whites as well as Negroes are standing behind this movement everywhere. When the news came flashing over the wire and it reached me where I was stopping in Cleveland, at 2:007 Central avenue, that His Excellency, the Hon. Marus Garvey, was arrested, my knees began to tremble, and I felt entirely lost. I could not do any more work that afternoon. However, I proceeded to Prospect Theatre, and the people responded. It's rather unfortunate to be locked up, or arrested, but this locking-up business, if I may put it that way, or this being arrested—that is, the arrest of Marus Garvey has caused this organization to gain hundreds and thousands of new followers and adherents in the city of Cleveland. (Applause.) I never knew Negroes were so determined; and, what is more, three weeks ago I was called to Garvey Club to speak, where young student-colleagues—began to question me and, let you something; they did some questions, but I answered every question they saked, and everyone was pleased and satisfied with my answers. The Universal Negro Improvement Association took such a rapid hold on them that they sent after me. They also sent for Dr. W, Ei Du Bois to come to the city of Cleveland; and I am here to say that I held my own in the Lane Metropolitan Church. There were 1,600 people on the inside and 400 on the outside waiting to come in, and they wanted to see if Dr. Du Bois coming or his presence in the city of Cleveland would affect the organization; but instead of it affecting the interest of the people on our organization, it increased their interest. I must saw so many people join the movement in as my life as they did that night in the city of Cleveland. Say what you may, but let me tell you that the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League shall forever live (Appliance). I am in it to stay. I don't care about petty jealousies; I don't care about petty grievances; I won't care to have any difference of view of opinion as to any matter of polity, or whether, regarding this work, we are not burdened if trying to do, I would not care anything about that, all I knew and [Illustration of a woman's profile, with a large, irregularly shaped body and a narrow neck.] race of ours must be redeemed. (Applause.) At this psychological moment all races and nations are coming together. Watch the signs of the times. Every race of people was represented in Washington at the recent Arms or Disarmament Conference; every race of people was present but the Negro race. And many persons thought that the Negro could not do his part; but, thank God, there came on the scene an organisation known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, with a leader, and a perfect leader he is, known as His Excellency, the Hon Marcus Garvey (thunderous applause, long sustained), who has dons and is doing a wonderful work in the unifying of our people into one harmonious whole, 400,000,000 strong, for their complete and eternal emancipation. They may greet him, they may sthme him, they may crucify him, but the great work he has begun, the great cause he has brought into being, shall go on and, and, let me tell you, sir, (turning to Mr. Garvey), you have my unqualified support, my help, until death! (Great applause.) Hon. Fred A. Toote Speaks Hon Fred A Toote, Secretary General, was next called upon and spoke as follows May it please your Excellencies, the Right Honorable Members of the High Executive Council and Fellow Members. It is, indeed, a profound pleasure to be with you once more after quite an arduous trip to the South Truly. I am glad to be here and to see you again, away from Mason and Dixon lines. (Laughter) Stand Fast! "My word to you tonight, he said, is to stand fast in the great principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for wherever I have been on this trip, every Negro man and woman was prepared to die, if necessary, for the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. I am quite sure that you black men and women have taught the spirit of the new day; for if freedom is good for Ireland, if freedom is good for India, then freedom is good for Africa, and Africa is good for the Africans (Applaise). Four hundred million Negroes today are standing behind these colors. They, our enemies, have tried to hold them down Ah, but it is written in the heavens by Jesus to be good, old, that: Ethiopia shall inherit forth her hand unto God, and Princes shall come out of Egypt. Therefore my word to you tonight is, no matter what may come, men may come, and men may go, but the principles for which we stand will go on forever (Applaise). I bid you Godaped 'Never doubling that we know we have traitors in our ranks, we know that we cannot find them now. we know that the wheat and the force men' grow together until the harvest comes. But the harvest is near, the day of reaping is at hand, and every one of you men end women here should constitute yourselves into a committee of one to find out these men and women and are ready to the move and then let them go down, that 400,000,000 may live on forever' (Apilause). The Fight Is On! "The fight is on" The President General told you that some months ago, and we will not let our colors down until the 400,000,000 Negroes have beer freed. Therefore, st. afd t. Let nothing deter you from the great purpose before you. Our great leader has stood the tost of time, and since nothing is wrong with him, since he has not been found wanting, let white men say he is wrong, let black men say he is wrong, let governments say he is wrong, let civilizations say he is wrong; the New Negroes, who are following him, will ever hold him up and up until the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green are planted upon the hill tops of Africa" (Applause) THE OYER BILL 'Tis time to lift the captives vipkes The mob the lynch-law is no joke.
