The Negro World

NEGROES HAVE SLUMBERED FOR CENTURIES VOL. XII. No. 9 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: It becomes my pleasure to address you once more in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are at this time engaged in an international campaign to mobilize the sentiment of Negroes everywhere in behalf of Africa's freedom. As we view the great changes that are taking place we conclude that the time has come for the four hundred million members of our race to also change their attitude on world affairs. For centuries we have slumbered in a condition of slavery, paying the extreme price for our lethargy. Today, as mighty changes sweep over the affairs of men, we cannot but arouse ourselves to the consciousness of self-determination. "What Other Men Can Do—" All peoples are endeavoring to politically free themselves and place themselves so that in the great struggle for the survival of the fittest they may be found among those worthy of holding their own in the affairs of men. Four hundred million Negroes can do nothing more praiseworthy than to seek their own emancipation; to found for themselves a government; to build up a mighty nation that will stand the test of time. All this is the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are commissioned through this great movement to go throughout the length and breadth of the world, teaching and converting men to this great doctrine. We believe this race of ours should occupy a place of importance in the world second to none. When we think of the glorious achievements of the Anglo- Saxon, the Teutonic race, the Japanese and other races of the world, we cannot but be encouraged in the belief that what other men have done we also can do. We have set ourselves a standard and each and every member of the race must reach up to it. We, as it were, have hitched our wagons to the stars, and we shall continue to climb and climb until we have reached the highest point in the heavenly constellation. A Practical Dream An appeal is now made to all the Negro peoples of America, the West Indies, South and Central America, Canada and Africa to line up in every way possible behind this gigantic Negro movement, so as to enable us to put over the program in its entirety. The things we lack now are courage, faith and confidence. If I can get every Negro to feel as George Washington felt when he pictured to himself an independent America; like William Pitt when he pictured a glorious and an extended British Empire; like Napoleon as he pictured the conquest of a world; the Wright brothers as they pictured the conquest of the air; like Marconi as he pictured the conveyance of transatlantic messages carried on the current of the air, then we can be assured of the immediate conquest of Africa and the emancipation of four hundred million souls. Is there a difference between George Washington and the humblest Negro of today? Between Napoleon and any black man that you see? The answer is NO, but for the fact that Napoleon discovered himself as a man, George Washington discovered himself as a man and declared that what other men have done, they would also do. The difference between men is that some know themselves, while others do not. The men, the races and nations that know themselves are those that are able to lift themselves from one condition to the other within the scale of human achievement. Those who have never discovered C NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1922 TIME TO BE UP AND DOING RACE MUST ABSTUDY TO COMMON STANDARD THIS IS AGE OF WORLD REORGANIZATION THERE IS WORK FOR EACH AND EVERYONE TO DO themselves have perished through their indolence, through their neglect, through their lethargy. The Universal Negro Improvement Association appeals to four hundred million Negroes asking that they get to know themselves, know that God created them men co-equal in rights with the other races of the world, giving to them certain rights that cannot be disputed, and among those rights is the possession of Africa, is the possession of racial freedom. Shall we have Africa? Shall we be free? This must be determined by every black man, woman and child in the world. The Freeing of Africa The Universal Negro Improvement Association is making it so that in this very year of 1922 the whole world shall know that the Negro is fully awake, fully conscious that he has been robbed, exploited and murdered for centuries, and is now preparing himself not to be outdone any longer. We are living in an age of reorganization, when peoples everywhere are striking out for freedom, for complete independence, as the people of India, of Ireland, of Egypt, and of Palestine. Like the rest who have won their freedom we are agitating for ours, and we feel sure that in a short while we shall become completely free; but the acquisition of our rights, the freeing of ourselves, depends not upon what others will do for us, but what we are willing to do for and by ourselves. We surely shall not expect Great Britain to free Africa, nor America, nor France to free Africa, nor Italy. It is for four hundred million Negroes to get together the world over; the fifteen millions of America to get together with the twenty-five millions of South and Central America, with the 180 millions of Africa, and then unitedly strike a universal blow for real democracy, for real human freedom. The Assembling of Legislators Let every Negro in the world look toward the great International Convention assembled in New York City from the 1st to the 31st of August of the present year. At this convention thousands of delegates who will have come from all parts of the world will raise their voices in solemn protest against the many injustices done to us as a people, and shall again legislate for our future government. We shall send our demands to the courts of the world; we shall fall behind them as four hundred millions of people, and if we must die, then four hundred millions of us shall die so as to insure the freedom of our Motherland Africa and the respect of this race of ours. I say to Negroes throughout the world, line up behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association with your money, with your education, with your physical strength and let us put this program over. It is not a question as to whether it can be done; it is a declaration that it must be done. The Colonists under the leadership of George Washington did it for America, Tolstoi did it in his preparatory work, Kerensky, Trotsky and Lenine have done it by action for Russia; you and I must do it for Africa. O Black Men, How Long? There is work for each and every one of us; no Negro is too old, no Negro is too young not to be able to contribute something in one way or the other toward the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Remember, men, this is not a work for the few, this is not a work for the individual; this is a work for all. In the classification of races we are put down as a part of the great human family, and each and every section in this great family is supposed to lift itself on its own initiative and struggle toward a common standard. The white man has set the standard of the present day, the yellow man is climbing up toward the standard—black men, how long can you afford to fall behind? The question of superiority and inferiority of races will linger just so long as the one race remains weak and allow the other races to become strong, but when all races will have on their own initiative gone out and accomplished for themselves, thereby proving the distinctive fitness of each to rise to a common height, then and there will this great difference of race be settled, once and forever. No black man will flatter himself to believe that so long as he lags behind and looks to the white man, or any other man, will he get the respect that is due him, but whenever he strikes out on his own account to do for himself, then and there will he be accepted by the rest of his fellow men as an equal, as a companion, as a proper associate. These are the hopes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and I feel that every Negro is going to support this movement to have them all realized. You can help now by giving to us the financial support that is necessary. Send us a contribution to our African Redemption Fund; let it be $5, $10, $20, $30, $50, $70, $100, or send a contribution to the Convention Fund in like amount. This forthcoming convention will be an expensive one; many important propositions will have to be undertaken and properly financed, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association can only carry out the program as far as each and every member of the race will contribute thereto. The time for helping is now. You are asked to do your bit. Write to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant. SENATOR FRANCE SAYS U. S. OWES "PECULIAR DUTY" TO AFRICA Maryland Legislator Pleads for Justice to the Negro Alarms House at Spiritual Unrest Among Darker Races (Enserial to the Negro World) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 10—Senator Joseph J. France of Maryland, in a speech in the Senate tonight on "The Soldiers' Bonus and the Allied Debt." dwell considerably on the wave of unrest that is sweeping over the African and Islamic world "The extent of the former German territories is," said Senator France, as will be seen from the map, approximately one third of the total continental area of the United States. Great wealth is there and our young citizens could find attractive opportunities for service in this great field. I need not enlarge upon our peculiar interest in and obligation to the people of Africa. Thousands of Americans have for years been contributing to the missionary work which has been carried on by the noble men and women who have been sent out in that field by the churches of America. On a previous occasion I referred at length to this whole problem of missionary work and of its importance to the spread of civilization. America the great pioneer in this work, should not seek to evade her responsibility for the accomplishment, by great international action, of those purposes which the missionaries have sought to realise through individual effort. The rapid spread of Islam, described by Lothrop Stoddard in his new work, The New World of Islam, can not be checked unless there be co-operation on the part of the enlightened nations in the spread of the true faith. Conference a Failure "Mr Preside, we needed not a disarmament conference but an economic conference, for unless the economic causes for war are removed disarmament must prove to be futile. No passive peace to preserve any world status can be permanent. Permanent peace between the great powers must be the product of concert of purpose and co-operation in effort between them in the extension of the boundaries of civilization and for the material as well as the moral and spiritual advancement of the world. The plan I propose is not imperialism for America, because our fundamental doctrines make imperialism impossible. our doctrine that all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights—to life, liberty, self-government and the pursuit of happiness—would impose upon us the obligation to secure those rights ultimately to all those in the territory coming to the United States. Imperialism leads to oppression and exploitation. "No American need over fear that his government can embark upon a policy of imperialism. I wish that every Senator might read the great works of a truly great American and Christian statesman, the late Alpheus Henry Snow, who in his books, The Administration of Dependencies'. The Question of the Alorigines in the Law and Practice of Nations', and The American Philosophy of Government' has greatly treated this subject. In The American Philosophy of Government', he says "The belief in the fundamental rights of the individual which we hold destroys all motive for conquest, since the only effect of conquest by us is to place upon us the difficult task of securing the fundamental rights of the individual in the countries annexed" "And in The Question of the Aborigines' he says: "As the Constitution contains a bill of Rights, imposing certain prohibitions or conditions upon the action of all the organs of the central government respecting individuals under the sovereignty of the United States, all of the provisions of this Bill of Rights, which are of universal application, are applicable in all the colonies and dependencies of the United States from the moment of their acquisition." "Americanism enjoins and compels elevation, development, liberation. That is well illustrated by the statement of a British officer made some time ago. He said wherever the Americans have gone into colonial development they have succeeded greatly. Wherever the French gb you find railroads; wherever the fermans go you find arsenals; wherever the British go you find customhouses, and wherever the Americans go you find schoolhouses. "Shall we seek to escape all of the white man's burden? We owe a peculiar duty to Africa, and one which we have too long ignored. When Stanley carried the Stars and Stripes through the wilderness of the Kongo Basin the sovereignty over that territory became vested by a right, which we did not assert in the United States. The arduities and obstacles there later practiced and the bloodshed and agony of those there who should have been our wards can all be charged to the similarity which caused the failure on the part of our government to expert our sovereignty. The world which is passing has been destroyed by the hatreds, passions and ambitions of imperialism. The new world which is to be built must have its foundation laid deep in the continent of cooperation and affection." PEACE WITH MOORS NOT IN SIGHT MADRID, April 19—The release of the Spanish principal leader in Morocco by the warring alcaldes appears to be the first step in abolishing the threat to Madrid, which declares that the municipal armies (who, was obliged to negotiate with the tribesmen, then threatened to menden the pest. This could invade the nomination of the defilete to treat with Aks al-cidem of the tribesmen. To Congo, Says Dr. Horn LONDON April 10—Bring out perstitutions that the appearance of a baby a first tooth on the upper jaw was an ill-omen to the community and that it had therefore, to be murdered were described by Dr. M. Horn, councilor of state for the glium in an address here on Belgian Colonial Administration in the Congo This practice as well as others like mutilation and cannibalism, is now punishable by law The law also interfered, he said, with native matrimonial customs While a man may acquire a wife either by means of a dowry paid to her family, by inheritance purchase exchange or arms, no legal bond is deemed to exist between the alleged husband and the woman acquired without her consent Acquisition by means of a dowry is recognized in principle but the second, third etc., wife will be permitted to desert her husband the state being prepared to refund the dowry if no other man has been the cause of her desertion. No compensation will be paid when the husband has been warned in due time as to the precautious nature of his rights in regard to his new better fraction. Dr. Horn said a large proportion of the Congo population was plightly underfed and for this state of affairs European rule was partly responsible. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY GETS $30.000 Bv I. J. K. WELLS LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa April 10, 1922 In order to aid it in broadening the scope of its work, the Rockefeller Foundation has voted $20,000 to Lincoln University. This has come as a response to Lincoln's attempt to increase the number of her professors and to erect among others, a Science Hall. This has been a busy year at Lincoln. Dr Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of "The Nation", Senator Clarke of New York and Congressman Walter G. Alexander of the New Jersey Legislature recently addressed the students here. "The Lincoln-Howard Classic" a film of the 1921 football season, perhaps the first of Negro Colleges in all history, has been leased by a Negro corporation of Jersey City, N.J. and was recently shown at Lincoln. It elicited great applause and implanted in many a sable breast the needs of race pride Since President Harding a visit and address at the University last June the students, despite the crucial times have shown increased vigor in athletics, scholarship and general enterprise CALLS CONSUMPTION GERM A HAQD SUFFLER FELLOW M HARD SHELLED FELLOW HARTFORD. Conn April 4—The tubercle bacillus, or consumptive germ, wears a hard coat of poisonous wax as a protection. Dr W. M Stockwell, superintendent of the Hartford State Sanatorium, told the State Tuberculosis Commission and a gathering of experts today. He demonstrated by microphoography and colored photo onlargements the manner in which the tiny bug changes its form. Dr Stockwell said that in a worldwide search for a method of destroying these consumption germs hundreds of experiments had been made to deprive them of their hard coats. He showed the way in which the hard-shell germs can be changed into vulnerable soft-shellled germs and vice versa. Environment will change innocent soft-shell germs into disease-producing hard-shell germs. CLAUDE McKAY AT LECTIC CLUB Claude Mokay, the Jamaican poet and associate editor of the Liberato. Magazine, was the guest of honor of the regular monthly reception of the Ecoleotic Club Saturday evening. April 5, 1922, at the Kate Ferguson Home. Mr. McKay read from a forthcoming volume of poetry, "Harlem Shadow," and Wm. Service Bell, president of the club, gave a short talk on Negro poetry. Among the guests were Mr. Arthur Sohmohug, J. A. Rogers, Mrs. Sadie Paterson, Zora Neale Hurston, Lawrence Holt, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. James, Mrs. Edwards, and others. "NATIONAL WEEK" TO CELEBRATE GANDHI MOVEMENT PLANNE MOVEMENT PLANNED BOMBAT. April 4—"National Week," planned to celebrate the beginning of the non-co-operation non-wilful campaign for independence from British rule, inaugurated by Mahandas K. Gandhi, will begin Thursday with an all-Indian "har- bal" or general strike, as its con- clusion. "The All-Indian Congress Commit- tee recommends that the Indians set aside the 183d day of each month as a day of sacrifice and prayer. The sacrifice, it is believed, will take the form of the contribution of one day's pay to the fund for independence. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1922 J. M. Stuart-Young Sums Up "Character In the Republic of Liberia" Interview with Bishop Overs Brings Out Very Glaring Social, Political and Economic Causes Governing the Proposed $5,000,000 American Loan By I M STUART-YOUNG LONDON, May 1, 1922 One of the notabilities whom I met recently on the Liberian coast should receive some attention at my hands. This was the Very Reverend W. H. Overs white American Episcopalian Bishop to Liberia, a loyal optimistic, thoroughly alive and benevolent exponent of the Christian need for a complete entente on both the material and spiritual plane, between the two colors. We had many other ways to communicate. He is no way blind to the fauna of the Liberian among whom he shares. Nor is he ever unaware of their future. One of the group the tremendous opportunities for registration which we now offered to them by the United States The Bishop understands them with that deepened knowledge which would be the cornerstone of every Christian church. We talked of Liberia, of Germany of Britain, of America, from China to Peru and I believe we have that Bishop Orca is doing a special work for the Negro race. Comparing the laissez-faire policy of Liberia with that of certain European countries in the past we had been talking specially of the downfall of modern Germany the Bishop had these wise words to any A Heterogeneous Immigration Too much blame on too much praise is generally attached to destiny. The Liberian excludes his indifference to progress by the remark that Liberia is a young country, and that it can only make hastily. But the Liberian would profess himself outraged if you or I told him an honest truth: that the Liberia of 1922 is not so far advanced as the Liberia of 1907. That a nation can overthrow its strength of accomplishment is proven by Germany. Loris is there a single existing power that can deny ignorance of the principle toward which the ex-Kaiser was leading his people. And is there an existing power except in the way of deliberate press comment, which warned Germany of her imminent danger. Now that the war is over, of course, and we can take a comprehensive view of the factors that made both the cause and the result, we see that the fatality was pre-ordained. The arrogance, the weakness, the conceit, and the lack of altruism which characterized the Kaiser of the last few decades of Germany's history epitomised the psychology of the whole nation. Well, Liberia must be judged by the same standards. Either in a person or in a nation, if the eyes are turned toward evil, evil must result. If either individual or crowd seek for simplicity for truth, and for righteousness, it is inevitable that these splendid virtues shall emerge triumphantly from the struggle. We can only achieve what we are. I concurred. We went on to talk of the hope that Liberia will win through to better things, so that she may shine as an example to the other colonies of West Africa. I commented upon the fact (a striking instance of the West African Negro instinct for generous government) that there are neither Sierra Leonians, nor Gold Constansians nor Nigerians to be found trading in Liberia. Nor, in like manner, do we find Liberians removing to British colonies and functioning there. Yet this exchange of Africans is quite noticeable in all the colonies which exist under British rule, so much so that like the Boatman, the Sierra Leonian and his family may be found in the most forsaken spots of our tropical empire—just as happy in Kano as he would be in his native Freetown. Liberia has a lot to learn therefore of what African friendship means and it is cordially to be hoped that she will enlarge her vision and forseke this soul-strangling spirit of insularity and solitude. It is a paradox of human nature that we can tolerate, and even excuse injustice to others, so long as we ourselves remain immune. Today in Liberia, a dwindling number of Afro-Americans (from ten thousand down to five thousand) have taken possession of the aborigine soil, and are administering a government which is presumably meant for something approaching two and a quarter million souls. Virtually every single Liberian claims the right to control, and to deprive of their birthright, no fewer than thirty thousand African natives. For immemorial years these tribes have lived upon the soil. The position is utterly untenable. That America has recognized the ostensible truth of Liberia's bankruptcy is bound to make for drastic alterations in the matter of land tenure. Character shows itself in innumerable ways. Immediately it was known that the (white) American who is to guide the financial destinies of Liberia during the term of the five million dollar loan, a to receive the emolument of fifteen thousand dollars per annum, there was immense disquiet in bureaucratic high quarters. Maybe it was felt to be derogatory to the dignity of both president and vice-president that a "visitor" should, receive a salary higher than the two actual rulers. The The 68,000,000 Loan weigh high calls for every right and dollars for president and president to bring in important expenses and the ministers and ministers and the proportion of in- terested presidents. the ministers and ministers if especially among those who have hired officers in a later year. These men have faithfully fulfilled their obligations toward the republic for about our fourth of these new endowments. It should be evident that if we will hope Lahiria a little of prosperity in assisting the First Nation will have to keep up apprehension. But he has the weighty advantage over his white colonies of being on his own African country among his natural kindred and in the environment to which both birth and breeding have accustomed him. Without exasuring the $15,000 per annum salary of the financial Adjunct it must be remembered that this American can will be a white man living in a totally strange and new atmosphere. He will be dependent in less or higher degree upon imported foodstuffs. His position for themure will entail a widely diffused amount of entertaining to fellow whites. The bishop laughed merrily at my notion that $15,000 per annum was a large salary and that both the United States government and the government of Liberia could readily have found men of talent and private means who would have accepted these positions from motives of altruism. The great sequents of the salaries which are to be trapped by the twenty four American administrators of the loan arrears from the proportionately small sum invoked. The contract is altogether humorous. The Corruption of Privilege But we must not overlook the fact that Liberia is offering her which monetary potentialities to the United States and that this loan, albeit a small amount to be the means of rehabilitating the finances of the West African Republic. These long evening on the deck with the bishop and with several highly placed Lister and who were trailing along the coast gave me much food for thought. I do not profess to be a master of history, but I feel that I am on safe ground when I say that the most urgent changes will take place in the Constitution of Liberia within the next few years. All famous historical collapse have been brought about by the corrupt growth of privilege. Liberia is only a small country, but that is no reason why we should not use the two toubons of larger communities to discover the secret of her allowed failure. Europe collapsed because of the underflow of alItery that proved too strong for the superstition of her culture. So did Greece. Be did Carthage History has the one monotonous story to tell that unless laws are made by or are representative of the will of the majority downfall must ensue. "The White Man's Burden" I believe that the Liberians themself had grown afraid of the impasse toward which their policy of self-honesty has led them. The universal instinct of self-preservation has made the 10,000 aware of the menace of the 250,000. The numerical danger has been fended off for a half century by the utter impotency of the abrogations by their lack of arms by the prosperity and progress of neighboring colonies and by the tremendous—nay the incalculable—power that has lain in the hands of the Liberian Government from the protection of the white world. But Liberia has had the perspicacity at last to see even further than the Power who have been watching her with misgled pity contempt and sorrow. Long before a threatened "day" her master instinct of self-preservation has risen to the surface and (through the agency of her adroit President) America has been persuaded to take over a share of the white man a burden. We are left wondering how far America will journey on that worry read One may never escape from one's first affective. With all her faults—and they are many and glaring! I love Liberia. Yet I seem to have known a generation of Liberians, twenty years ago, who had stauncher qualities than the breed of today. Obviously there are exceptions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE light object lifted by the current wind shown in what direction it blows. We restored from one port to the next im- plying a stay on board of one night only a certain Laborer警官man. He had friends aboard to him off the heated drinks in the terminal stow- ard found that he had been left with an unpaid account of about ten children. I have met him in a colleague. I will write to you. A. Timely Warning I am always aware that the world thinks of me in the way I am. I was born in a small village in the countryside and had a few mishaps but many souls and whole nation and good. Politically however I have never once resisted to feel resentment of the Liberals and nonfans from the society to which we belong to our own surroundings. I have titles made up of the titles of his own color, albeit their culture may be of a much the former culture. They have rights. But the Liberals of today are in a worse position than the Liberals of yesterday. You can be less but he is survived in spite of instead of because of the people whom he holds the rights of life and death. I got further and I went Liberia their way and she gave her posi- tional structure and unless she gives honable promise to her aboriginal population she will find that the Be- erman kinship of System will have opened up for the floodgates of her own traped interior. She we awise to find herself overwhelmed. An Efficient Cabinet She will then be in the position of Rome under the assault of the tooth. It will be a bloodless battle because the white civilized world will be standing by to present floods. But the ten thousand will assuredly go down before the waves of the two-and-aquater millions, and the Liberia of the nineteen chitties will be as new in point of blood of traditions and of family, as was the Liberia of theromantic days of Asturia. The present ruler will be trusted by the nineteen chitties of emperors and that world will have once again will be a shift victor. But present day Liberian men need certainly meet this one way, writing down full. Her President is a civil int man. Mr. King's career, even back to the days when he was a simple citizen in Grand Hagen has proven him to so a man of indubitable mental gifts. The Vice President is equally loved, although he is not so free from moral and social reproach. Many of the ministers are still young and are full of vision. But the New Day must neither be shared by indigenous Africans who are proud to assert that they are natives of Bargana that they belong to the foreseeable that their family is of the Vex group, but the admittedly degenerate Liberian who has anteceded for half a century must be prepared to contest and to win his Stuart. Let the Liberian but awake to the truth that he is no longer a privileged person but but he is a perfectly sound African in respect with his fellow Africans in all respects of food and brain and spirit, but superior to them only in that he has been blessed with a freedom at birth and a power of self-government toward which his neighbors are only as yet strong. Then at him gaze around at the wealth of his bird and at him realize that the great injustice is meant for a minority of ten thousand men and women who have hated it to confess their moral incompetence, but that it belongs to the Negro Rays. Liberia appears today as the possible heart of a great African body. That heart has suffered half a century of moral scape. America the physician stands by at this moment with the necessary restorations. That heart can beat. That heart will heal. That body will once more become animate and the African race will be alive and healthy. Once believe that and everything else will follow. As I wrote years and years ago. Oh heed our tears. Liberia—they are falling now like rain. We see thy wounded body and we know thy spirit a pain. Come! Join the ranks of workers, be a sluggard nevermore. Rejoice to link thy lil with ours—the great in peace or war. We grant thy right to justice. We are knowledgeo thy free soul. God make the true and faithful!

This is payable soon after the play opens but the young man is unable to raise the money as a matter of fact he requires large sums to gratify, the value of his wayward wife and so he goes to the Judge for help. This is the opportunity for which Billings has been looking. He tells Charles he cannot loan him money on the property but if he acquires his mother's signature in a paper he will grant him a loan friendly, believing in her son Mrs Saunders signs the paper. In the meantime the criminal pair have in under a sir Clark to invest, and who that man learns he has been robbed he dies from shock, leaving Lillian, his daughter, to the tender mercies of the world. Watson is in love with the girl but realizes that Dick stands in the way and in an effort to rid himself of his rival enmeshes Dick in a criminal charge. The young man leaves town and goes West, where he has the opportunity to study the reason for the accusation. Charles a wife, Marie in of her husband's inability to supply money to meet her wishes demand that he send his mother away. The he at first refuses to do, but when he learns that his wife is going to leave him he pleads with her to remain. There is only a condition on which she will stay, the mother must go and Charles is in the to withstand the strain acquires. Marie then tells Mia Saundra the truth and the woman goes over the hills to the poor house. Halt however, has left no stone unturned to get at the bottom of the scheme to rob the Saundras and some time later we learn that he has met Dick and told him what has happened. The young man sends money home and it arrives just at a time when the villainous pair, Watson and Judge Billings, are fearful that their plans are going away. Watson is arrested and Billings, eager to leave the place, accepts the money for the homestead. It is then that the good old mother is brought over the hills from the poorhouse just as Dick and Eban return and all ends happily when Charles the wanderer, forsaken by his wayward wife comes to her forgiveness. The mother love comes to the front when Dick refuses to shake his brother's hand. She makes them both realize what they mean to each other and all ends happily. $$ \frac {C _ {1}}{C _ {2}} $$ "FON THE GAUSE | LIVE AND FOR THE CAUSE V'LL DIE." WOT).

NEW YORK, APRIL 15, 1922 No. 2 The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. DR. DuBOIS AND NEGRO BUSINESS ALTHOUGH we cannot subscribe to his political philosophy, we are certainly grateful to Mr A Philip Randolph, editor of the "Messenger," for his brilliant analysis of the crisis in Negro business. In the March "Messenger" Mr. Randolph has an article that is a constructive bit of economic statesmanship. But before we plunge into a discussion of it we would like to call the attention of our readers to an editorial in the April "Crisis." From its title, "Again, Africa," one would be pardoned for believing that Dr. DuBois wrote it as a sort of "supplementary program" to his recent programless Pan-African Congress held in Paris and London and Brussels. At any rate, at this late date, Dr. DuBois is promulgating a "program" in an effort, he informs us, "to bring about a change of attitude on the part of the world toward Africa." Let us see what it is all about. Two-thirds of it is devoted to "native education" and "periodic conferences." The other third is about Negro business. Negro business in Africa, of course. Says Dr. DuBois. "To promote industry, commerce and credit among black groups. This does not mean yelling and lying and ranting about gigantic projects that never existed, and squandering hard earned wealth in crazy and ill-conceived schemes. It means small, efficient, honest enterprises, quietly and carefully carried on for years, until in fifty years or century we shall have knit the Negro world together in thrift." That is the sort of economic leadership Dr. DuBois will give the Negro. In a nutshell it betrays his senseless provincialism, his utter failure to understand the revolt of the black proletariat against his "fifty-year-or-a-century" political economics. Fancy a leader in an age of trusts and combines, of mergers and monopolies, talking about "small, efficient business." Unthinkable. Outshining this medieval point of view is the practicality of the Socialist editor's plan, which, like Marcus Garvey's, warns us that "At the outset let it be thoroughly understood that there are no peculiar economic laws that are specially adjusted for Negro business. The same causes that produce the success or failure of business run by white entrepreneurs are the causes also of the success or failure of business operated by Negroes. . . . In the main the behavior of the phenomena of Negro business is similar to that of the small business man. His turnovers are small. His credit is small. His operating capital is always inadequate. Like most small business units of all races and nationalities, his system of accounting is bad and his management is not the best. Few far-reaching economies can be effected when a small volume of business is done. Still there are certain constant changes that are no different from those of the mammoth business enterprise. He must pay the same wages of the trust. He is unable to contend with the organized power of labor through prolonged, expensive strikes. In short, the small business is a menace to itself and the public, because it must pay lower wages and sell at higher prices, and still its security is not assured." Either Dr. DuBois in his hermit-like environment is unwilling to fall in line and back up the corporate business policies of Mr Marcus Garvey, or he is fiercely ignorant of modern economic development. In either case he is in a hopelessly bad fix—bad from the standpoint of his already decadent leadership THE HORNS OF A DILEMMA CONGRESSMAN MARTIN C. ANSORGE'S recommendation of Emile Treville Holley, a Negro student of the College of the City of New York, for midshipman at Annapolis, the U.S. Naval Academy, has caused a perturbation in the cerebral hemispheres among some naval officers, especially those who hail from Dixie (see "Negro Cadet Issue" in the Sunday New York "Times"). Why? If young Holley passes his examinations, as he probably will, if he makes a creditable record at Annapolis and in the navy, he probably will be a powerful factor in exploding the doctrine of the inferiority of the Negro. A hundred years ago when the slavery discussion began to trouble the conscience of the New England Puritans and Philadelphia Quakers, Northern and Southern divines and Southern statesmen came back with the reply that the Negro lacked those mental and normal qualities which differentiates man from the lower animals. They said that he was part man and part brute. The Darwinian evolution was inheard of then, else they would have said that the Negro was the missing link between man and the ape. Calhoun, the Senator from South Carolina, the ablest statesman of the South, the formidable champion of State rights, uttered a generalization which has passed into history. He said that the Negro race was so inferior that it could not produce a single individual who could conjugate a Greek verb, and that if anyone could show him a Negro who could master Greek syntax he would regard the Negro as a man. Rev. Dr. Grummell said that Calhoun must have expected Greek roots and verbs to generate in the Negro's brain by some process of spontaneous generation. languages, and Prof. Wm S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University had not only written a Greek textbook, but essays on "The Thematic Vowel in the Greek Verb," "The Verb Quo as Used by Thuycides" and "The Birds of Aristophanes." So the Greek myth has been exploded. Then the Southern Solons and Solomons said that if the Negro was emancipated he would starve to death. But though handicapped by low wages in the South and the barring of him by trades unions in the North and West, he has accumulated over a billion dollars of real estate, and his accumulated bank savings and investment in Liberty Bonds combined together probably approaches, if it does not exceed, a billion dollars. So this starvation myth has been exploded. Then the Southern Solons and Solomons said that the Negro was so cowardly that he would not strike a blow for his own liberties. But after Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation nearly two hundred thousand soldiers enrolled in the army of the Union and performed deeds of valor at Ft Wagner, Ft Pillow, Elustie, Milliken's Bend, in the battle of the wilderness and in the trenches before Petersburg and Richmond. So the cowardice myth has been exploded. Then the Bourbons of the South constructed the mathematic myth. They said that the Negro could master the classics, but could not master mathematics. Then Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University appeared upon the scene and evolved into a brilliant student and teacher of mathematics, and Robert F. Browne, of Brooklyn, N.Y., wrote a mathematical masterpiece entitled "The Mystery of Space." So this mathematical myth has been exploded. The Negro has successfully met so many tests that Southern leaders are afraid to grant him new opportunities. They do not so much hate the Negro as they do to preserve the theory that the whiteness of the skin is an index of the mind and character of the man, forgetting that the brains of a man do not reside under his skin, but in his head. Now these are the horns of the dilemma. If the critics of the Negro give him an open field and an equal chance he will make good. If they do not give him an open field and equal chance they cannot justly proclaim his inferiority. So the Bourbons of the South are having a hard time bolstering up their pet doctrine. COLORING THE FACTS W are indebted to Mr Arthur F. King for an editorial which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on April 4, 1922 dealing with the recent labor disturbances in Johannesburg. Captioning it "A Lesson from South Africa," the Journal rejoices in the fact that despite the incursions of American Negro labor agitators the "native laborer in the Rand gold field remained faithful to his salt." Moreover, the Journal holds it is unwise, for "ethnological reasons," to foster in Africa the "ignorant leadership of the American Negro." Wait, this is only the beginning. The editorial goes on in its swish brogue to tell about a much traveled" Cookney who came to America and confided to a "New York newspaper man" the fact that "The American Negro derives from the least developed of the African races. The slave raiders never made their forays upon the intelligent and well-organized tribes. If they picked up an occasional member of such better stock it was a pure accident." The slaves they sold at the coast for shipment to America came from races crudely organized and of the most mentality. The native labor of Johannesburg is drawn from points far south of those where our Negroes originated. It is taken, for the most part, from tribes which have been conquered by the Zulus . . . but even these are a better stock than that from which the American Negro comes." What nonsense is this? If a "big" periodical like the Wall Street Journal is going to dabble in biology and anthropology and the race question, why does it not employ decent experts to accurately treat these questions? As Mr. King says in his violent retort to the editor, "Dr. DuBois in 'The Negro' informs us that slave raiders 'drew upon every part of Africa—upon the West coast, the Western and Egyptian Sudan, the valley of the Congo, Abyssinia, the lake regions, the East coast and Madagascar. Not simply the degraded and weaker types of Negroes were seized, but the strong Bantu, the Mandingo and Songhay, the Nubian and Nile Negroes, and even the Asatic Malay were represented in the raid." Likewise, Augustus Vassa in his famous "Narrative," published at London in 1792, describes the shrewdness of the slave pirates in giving preference to natives of royal blood and those of the highest mental and physical development. OUR CONCEPTION OF ART ONE of the stumbling blocks in the pathway to Negro progress is the Negro's false conception of art. Art to him, be it music, poetry, drama, sculpture, painting, literature, is a thing expressive of the feelings and emotions of the social and intellectual elite. It is a thing that appeals exclusively to the cultural-minded, to the bourgeoisie, to the lords and ladies who try, and fail miserably, to develop a genuine Bohemianism; who interpret picturesquely the spirit of Sinclair Lewis' Main Street-Thanatopsis society. It is a hopeless predicament to find oneself. Aspiring Negro artists are loathe to worship at the shrine of Shakespeare and Robert Burns, Bjornstjerne Bjornson and Paul Laurence Dunbar, artists who are not too confoundedly "big" to sit and eat and drink and rub elbows with the proverbial man in the street. Instead, by virtue of social pressure, Negro artists are forced to produce works that bring out "the higher aspirations of the Negro," works that with a brutally sterile puritanism steer clear of the beauty and simplicity of true art. That is why the odoriferousness of Caroline Siner's "touched" ham is offensive to the aesthetical nostrils of Brahminic readers of Mr Stribling's novel. It also explains why Negro dialect poetry is on the wane, why frenzied folk object to the eternal use of the word "Nigger" in "The Emperor Jones," why New Englanders are aghast at the sexual realism of "Batoula." Of course this is all due to the oversensitiveness of the Negro. It is his way of looking at things. Forever on the alert, his sense of art is overwhelmed by the instinct of fear and self-preservation. But it is a primitive point of view. The art of the Negro today is the "higher art," not the art that comes from the common people, not the art that lasts, the true art. It is stiff, stilted, artificial. It is not true to the life of the majority, who, after all, are at the bottom of everything that is beautiful and immortal. Go down and for a moment wallow in the whirlpool of mob life, and then, in parallel columns, as Mr. Mencken would say, present to us the proportion of truth to life in Negro art. Startling would be the result. In other words, if we are to develop an art that is to be distinctly our own, let it be free from frills and obnoxious embroideries. FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY DUSE MOHAMED ALI Official circles in London are rather perturbed over the new Japanese Government's naval, military and diplomatic policy which is being revised so as to make China a safe and unfailing source of such raw materials as Japan may need in warfare. The London "Times" Tokio correspondent cables as follows "Change in the traditional imperial defense policy was decided at a conference of marshals and admirals on March 25. This course was induced by the concurrent opinion that the lapse of the Anglo-Japanese alliance will force Japan to meet single-handed future international crises. Hence every precaution must be taken, by extending connections with neighboring States, to assure supplies and thus in the event of war make the issue a draw." The "Times" takes a very serious view of the situation in its editorial comment and, assuming the "neighboring States" to mean China, inquires as to whether such a policy will not violate the spirit and purpose of the Washington agreements "We regard as a serious symptom," the "Times" says "the misinterpretation of the Washington agreements as implied in the latest decision in the Japanese military and naval agreements, and we await further explanations." The Washington conference having put an end to the Anglo-Japanese alliance, there was no alternative for Japan but that of seeking her raw material for war purposes nearer home, and naturally China presented an undeveloped field for exploitation which was ready to hand. Under the old pact with England there was little or no risk of Japan being effectively blocked so as to deprive her of such vital imports as coal, oil, iron and steel in the event of war, as the alliance guaranteed the integrity of her western and southern coasts, leaving her mistress of the Pacific. The Washington agreements, however, by wrecking the Anglo-Japanese alliance, leaves no course open to Japan but one of defense, and in case of war she will be confined to her home waters, using her fleet to maintain open lines of communication with China. It therefore becomes highly expedient for Japan to cement peaceful relations with China, which becomes her only hope now that France, England and the United States have successfully maneuvered her into a position of comparative isolation. Unfortunately for Japan, her policy in Formosa and Korea have neither endeared her to the peoples in these two countries nor to the other non-European peoples of the world. Prussianism does not pay, as Prussia has found to her cost, and it is to be feared that Japan must also suffer for her Prussian policy in the Far East. By adopting the worst form of Western methods, lock, stock and barrel, and by endeavoring to impose her will upon a weak China, she has alienated all those non-European elements that had looked to her for potential assistance in their hour of need. Moreover, owing to the fact that she regarded the weaker human elements of Asia and Africa with dignified contempt, and that China came to interpret her good faith to be of the Punic variety, it will be necessary for the statesmen of Japan to do some very tall thinking before they will be successful in convincing China that the relations between the two governments will indeed be "peaceful." Loyalty and devotion to country is indeed a laudable trait in Japanese character, but the men from the land of the rising sun are more "peculiar" in mentality than Bret Harte's world-famed "Heathen Chinee." In the hour of their ascendency they had an opportunity which no other nation possessed. I very thinking Asatic and every African was proud of the fact that one dark nation had risen to a position of military diplomatic and industrial preeminence among the lighter hued nations of the earth, and for this reason it was hoped that the Japanese would become champions of the darker peoples. Unfortunately for them, at a very early period of their career, they made it quite clear that they thought themselves "white men" in the European sense of the term, and they were wont to treat their dark-hued brothers with scant courtesy. In this way the Japanese lost a golden opportunity. No doubt it was because of the loss they had sustained that they suddenly be-thought of introducing that celebrated non-discriminating resolution at the Paris Peace Conference. It was then too late, because the African and Asatic world had taken their measure by this time, knowing quite well that the resolution was intended to assist Japanese immigration in the United States of America, the islands of the Pacific and in Australasia, rather than because of any fraternal feeling they entertained for the other darker races. In this connection it is of interest to relate that when I founded "The African Times" and "Orient Review" in London, 1912, having previously met many prominent Japanese at the Universal Races Congress of 1911 and elsewhere, I tried to obtain an expression of opinion from Japanese diplomats and publicists as to what the attitude of Japan would be in the event of her being in a position to dominate the colored world. All the replies I received, but one, were evasive. This single exception was a famous Japanese professor of sociology, who said, in substance, that the Japanese always assimilated with those they conquered! It is this system of evasion which has caused the Japanese to be mistrusted in China, and even now there is considerable trouble in Vladivostok where there was a clash between Japanese troops and the forces of the Chinese Government, where 800 of the latter attacked the Japanese near Spassk, about 100 miles from Vladivostok, which followed a demand by the Japanese to disarm. Eighty Chita soldiers were reported killed. A little later, however, the Chita troops are reported to have attacked in force with field guns, and fighting continues along the Ussuri railway. This means that a delay will be caused in the withdrawal of Japanese military contingents from the maritime Province of Siberia. The Japanese, who were unable to accept the forced evacuation of Siberia with good grace, are faced with a most unfortunate development, although the Chita Government is not in a position to force a Japanese withdrawal. Now the prolonged stay of Japanese troops in Eastern Siberia is not only fraught with considerable danger to Japan, but is also bitterly resented by the Russian people, and if Japan hopes to succeed in her "peaceful" endeavors in China it will be vitally necessary for her to completely reverse her military policy in the Far East. China is undoubtedly the key to Japanese well-being. As I have already said, in case of war the Japanese must be on the defensive, and, inasmuch as her fleet might be blockaded at long distance from the Pacific, the island kingdom would be absolutely dependent upon the undeveloped resources of China. It is reported that Japan is accumulating large supplies of oil, and she must continue to accumulate not only oil, but enormous supplies of iron and steel, because a period of tan or fifteen years must elapse before the mineral resources of China can be developed to that condition of efficiency which will be helpful to Japanese needs. The situation, therefore, bristles with difficulties. There can be little doubt but that the Europeans—long jealous of the growing power of Japan—meant to isolate her as effectively as possible. The Washington Conference has done this. The political ice upon which she skates in China is very thin, and it will tax the skill of Japan's diplomata to safely negotiate the many danger spots, a To the Editor of The Negro World: Please allow me space in the greatest east of all journals. The Negro World, so that my race and people may see the necessity of organization in the U N I A and A C L. I am asking that this be published as I am one of the race who is hurt—that is, we were welcome in England during the war when Jerry was bombing London and elsewhere. We were then considered brave soldiers and sailors. During that time they had lots of trouble in getting the Tommies to enlist. No sooner than the armistice was signed black men in England were considered undesirable to live there during that time. I was a soldier in His Majesty's service overseas. Fellow men of my race that was an insult and injustice to our race and people. I do hope the sailors and soldiers will see and re- member what happened to us during the war and after the war. Since we have taken part in the World War let us now take part in becoming members of the greatest organization— which is the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Let us support the Hon Marquis Garvey, the executive heads of the U N I A and The Negro World Black Star Line and allied corporation. History tells us that the Britons were slaves to the Romans. Now that they are free they have kept my race and people slaves. We have fought for them before but the World War of 1914-1918 has taught us Negroes to depend on ourselves, to work for purposes, to build for ourselves, to tight for ourselves, to invent poison gas for ourselves, to build submarines and battleships and long-range and short-range guns, hand grenades, tor- pedoes and high explosive rifles and a powerful army and navy of African sons. Can it be done? The echo comes back to me. yes it can be done with the help of the 400- 000 000 Degrees of the world' IGNORANT OPPOSITION Editing Nero World. The paramount question confronting every sane thinking and well meaning Negro of this new day comes forcibly. Must the Negro be saved for the future, or be bartered on the slave markets of the world to satisfy the greed and marvel of certain groups? Viewing the situation seriously from every angle, and analyzing the crafty methods and treacherous characteristics designed by these groups, one can arrive at but one conclusion, that is, these groups cannot be viewed in the light of any well-thinking and awakened Negro, nothing short of being a parasite, but with few exceptions. Now these groups are at this time busy and uncensely waging a determined war for the destruction of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the downfall of Marcus Garvey. But what can they offer as a substitute in place of the Universal? And have they in the past demonstrated their sincere and whole-hearted interest in the general welfare for the cause of Negroes? The simple answer is no. Then what must the Negroes of the world understand as being the cause of their objections to the program of the U' N I A? The thing for all of us is to link up our destinies with the U' N I A. and help Marcus Garvey put it over the top! Get up, you parasites and fall in line!

REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS published weekly at New York, N. Y., for April, 1922 (New York) CONTEMPORARY COMMENTS The Editor, The Negro World, 56 West 125th Street. New York City. Dear Sir, "The Negro and the New World Order." The above topic was discussed by Dr. George W. Haynes of national fame on Thursday evening last at the Library. Dr. Haynes tried to impress his hearers that a new social regime had to take place of the old, and the Negro was to play an important part in this new order. I would like to direct your attention to "The Negro to play an important part in this new order," as not stated by Dr. Hanyea. We can play no useful part in this new "order" unless we are prepared to specialize along lines of endeavor and particularly in the field of business and finance. Business and finance are the dynamic force of the world today. The Genoa Economic Conference if successful or not will be nothing more than an attempt to stabilize business conditions the world over and in particular Europe. What we as a people need most are strong men, not strong merely from a physical point of view, but from the mental and intellectual standpoint as well. There is no gainsaying that fact if we are to take our place in this "new order" brains which now seems to be at a discount in Harlem, while "boobs are at a premium must be given the proper recognition Dr. Haynes in his discourse wandered alimelessly around without being able to propose anything concrete. He speaks of the "new world order" where we will take our place as "satisfied slaves," and thinks that the races will live in harmony after they have adopted this theoretical order. No struggle no war, no extension of individual or racial life only "peace perfect peace" accompanied by jazz. If Dr. Haynes had given us a constructive policy for the working out of our future along sound economic lines in his new order" instead of stressing our emotional tone" we could be more favorably inclined to this new doctrine. We view with apparent disgust the Negro businesses in Harlem on account of the lack of proper business training. Is it any wonder we are still looked upon as a race of slaves? Until we can show to the world that we are the equal of other races by our achievements, all our wallings will be of no avail. Yours very truly Sedge WILLED A PRENDERGART GARVEY----FROM AN- Cleveland, O. Saturday, April 8—Tuesday and Wednesday evenings Marous Garvey was the big exponent in Cleveland. Thousands upon thousands listened to his eloquent remarks and as they listened, logic upon logic was gathered therefrom and stored away in the mental deposits of people who think From a clearer viewpoint of the Garvey movement this editor is willing to admit, and without being asked, that the Garvey movement has been grossly misrepresented. This position is not based upon the influence of the multitudes that pay him honor, but the aims and objects of the organization as uttered by Mr. Garvey himself. It is not a back-to-Africa program, minus a logical hypostasis, as has been pointed out to us by the classes, but is a program of unity and strength fully recognized by the masses—there are many features of it without which no race or group of people can make any worthwhile progress, and if Garvey is never able to do more than to make the Negro think along independent lines, the effort behind that thought shall not have been spent in vain—The Cleveland Call. THE CRY OF HAITI Great Britain has her India, Belgium had her Congo, Japan has her Korea and the United States has her Haiti. Under the imperial boots of these powers the suppressed peoples have sent appeals abroad against their tormentors. The stories differ little except in details. As the big powers become bloated with surplus capital this surplus is shipped abroad for investment. The military and naval powers of the big bullies follow this capital and overthrow the native governments. A regime is then established to suit alien bankers and capitalists and imperial rule is firmly established. The Call has received a pathetic appeal from Le Courrier Haitian rescuing some of the exploits of American carriers of 'Kultur' to Haiti. In nine months Le Courrier Haitian has been the victim of numerous raids and arrests. Six members of its staff have been arrested and imprisoned a number of times. Five were condemned to six months at hard labor and fined $800 each. A reporter was seized in his home for a speech delivered on the 1918 anniversary of the adoption of the Haitian flag. Two editors were imprisoned for six months at hard labor for publishing articles criticizing the American occupation. The chief editor was forced to work bare-headed under a tropical sun for ten hours each day. He nearly lost one eye from an assault made by an American officer. There are other items in the protest, which no doubt has gone to other publications in this country. Now, then, think of those glorious days of pa- triotic" exaltation when Wilson was calling us to the defense of the weaker peoples. This sort of thing was going on even when he was making those thrilling speeches and offering himself as a compound of the "moral forces of the world." He took care, however, that a censorship screened the acts of his administration in bleeding Haiti. Harding inherited the "moral" baggage of Wilson, and the natives of Haiti are getting the same dose bearing a Republican label. isn't it fortunate that the Germans did not come here and swipe American loot in the Caribbean? Think of what would have happened to the Haitians if we had not won the war" - New York Call A MAD WORLD This a mad, bad world. There is civil war on the Rand—about what? As to whether whites or blacks shall dig the gold out of the reef, and for what wages. Hell and fury let loose because mine owners want to employ black labor to make gold mines pay that now do not pay, because white workers wants more jobs, and more wages, for getting gold. The gold which when got is no earthly use for the purpose for which it is got. An amazing world. Amazing people. Here are the coffees of the United States crammed with gold. And what use is it? None at all. No one in the United States even sees the gold, except its keepers. It is about as "valuable" in any true sense as mud. And people are killing each other for the privilege of adding to this mountain of gold—which is no more use than so much mud—London Clarion.

Questions of general interest on the care and feeding of infants and children will be answered in this column Address Child Welfare Department. Negro World, 54-56 West 135th street, New York, N. Y Life and health conservation is the slogan of this department We are willing, aye, anxious to help parents during the trying periods experienced in the rearing of children. The future citizens of Africa must be mentally and physically superior to those of today, because we realize that "the healthy citizen is the nation's greatest economic asset." Ten commandments for keeping baby well, issued by the Bureau of Child Hygiene. Department of Health. City of New York, continued 4. You must give the baby the proper quantity of milk. Too much milk is worse than too little. Overfeeding does more harm than underfeeding. A baby's stomach will hold different amounts at different ages. Babies of the same age may require different quantities for some reason known only to the doctor. Be guided entirely by the doctor's advice. Overfeeding of the stomach by too much milk weakens it and causes trouble all through life. 5. You must be clean in everything that concerns the baby and yourself Clearliness is not only next to godliness but it is essential to good health You have heard of the Three Deadly Ds—Dirt, Disease, Death We want to teach you about the Three Healthful Cs—Cleanliness, Comfort, Contentment Denounce the Ds and commend the Cs. It is not enough for good health that you are clean, teach your neighbors the lesson, for the health of your family depends on your surroundings. Cleanliness embraces clean nipples, clean bottle milk, clean home, clean clothing, clean utensils for preparing baby's milk, clean hands, freedom from files, and a proper supply of ice to keep the milk fresh and clean. 6. You must give the baby plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Babies are like delicate plants—they need plenty of both to grow. Air the rooms thoroughly at all times and have sunlight enter as much as possible. Sunlight and air are great germ destroyers. Keep the sunlight out of the baby's eye. Keep the windows open day and night. Do not be afraid of the night air in dry weather. The only dry air which is dangerous is that of the night before, which you have failed to let escape by keeping the windows closed. Avoid draughts. Have your windows screened or use mosquito netting. Give baby the best room in the house. Unless it is damp, stormy or windy, keep the baby out of doors as much as possible. Use the parks, pliers, bridges, roof gardens, school playgrounds, ferry boats, docks, etc (To be continued) Q AFRICA AWAKE O Africa . Awake! Awake! Thy children's lives are at stake.

Without the raw materials of Africa, modern European industry cannot go on. Without the African market for the outfit of its cheap manufactures Europe is bankrupt. Let Negroes slam the door of Africa shut, and Europe must either starve, fight, or buy at the Negro's price. Unite and organise the Negro peoples to control Africa and the Caribbean, and Negroes control the destinies of the world, for in their hands would lie storehouses of world and the gateways of the oceans. That is why European statesmen are so perturbed over the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the growing racial solidarity of the Negro peoples of the world which is being brought about through its influence. They find that they have been misled by the description of Negro character given them by men of their own race, like that pompus, domineering, pushing little Englishman, Sir Harry H Johnston, G C M G K C B, Hon Sc D Cantab, etc., the self-appointed final authority on the Negro and things anthropological. After having been assured by him and other "trained observers of great practical experience in such matters" that Africa was forever theirs, because to quote him, The Negro more than any other human type, has been marked out by his mental and physical characteristics as the servant of other races. He is possessed of great physical strength, docility, cheerfulness of disposition, a short memory for sorrows and crucibles and an easily aroused gratitude for kindness—and provided he is well fed, he is easily made happy. He has little or no race fellowships—that is to say, he has no sympathy for other Negroes, he recognizes, follows, and imitates his master independently of any race affinities. The Negro has no idea of racial affinity. He will equally himself to the white or to the yellow races in order to subdue his fellow black. It is difficult to conceive that the black man will eventually form one united Negro people demanding autonomy, and putting an end to the control of the white man, and to the immigration, settlement and intercourse of superior (*) races from Europe. The indigenous races of Africa will grow up into being black or brown British subjects, Frenchmen, Portuguese, or Germans. Great white nations will populate in course of time South Africa, North Africa, and Egypt, and rills of Caucasian blood will continue, as in recent and more remote past, to circulate through Africa, leaving the many millions of black men with that element of the white-skinned sub-species which alone has evolved beauty of facial features and originality of invention in thought and deed, all of a sudden the New Negro has appeared, a disturbing factor in the white world's scheme of things, a monace to the white race's easy and profitable exploitation of the richest continent of the earth, an unassoluble enigma for white statesmen to scratch their heads and wonder about. No wonder that as report after report from the white administrators of the conquered African continent comes to the cabinets of England, France, Italy, Belgium, Spain and Portugal, telling of the untenable position of white exploiters in Africa in face of the growing unity of the Africans, which they do not understand and cannot explain, greater and greater becomes the consternation of those whose luxurious life depends on the sweat and blood of these subject peoples. No wonder that from the whites in all parts of the African continent the cry goes up to their home governments, "Nip this thing in the bud before it is too late or it will destroy us!" War-scarred Europe hears the cry and sees the gathering cloud on the horizon. Her statesmen, never scheiners of international plots though they be, are helpless before the awakened masses of the darker peoples of the world. They are not now so able as they were ten years ago to flood the disaffected areas with overpowering myriads of European troops. Now is no convenient time for them to handle the situation. They are in the throes of the reaction of the war, the disorganization of the peace. Their treasuries have been depleted by the recent strife, their governments are torn by internal dissensions, and the entire structure of their industrial organization seems crumbling to pieces. Their parliaments would vote no monies for another conflict, their soldiers would mutiny if sent to unhealthy climates in what would seem to them a useless struggle, and the center of the whirling vortex that threatens to engulf them is the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They know it, and more than one string is being pulled in Washington to destroy what they suppose to be the headquarters of this "dangerous propaganda." Undisturbed by their opposition and their intrigues, the Universal Negro Improvement Association moves grandly forward with its program, thrilled with the righteousness of its cause, confident of the ultimate realization of the great ideals it holds up before the stupendous human movement it has initiated. Millions of Negro men and women are entering its ranks and taking the oath to devote their entire life's energies to the redemption of Africa from allen aggression and exploitation. Hundreds of thousands of Negro children have been wrapped in the folds of the Red, the Black and the Green, and baptized that their lives might be dedicated to take up the work where their parents leave off. Why should European statemen, after all, be fearful of the program of the Universal Negro improvement Association? It is because their consciences are troubled by the past. It is because they realize the enormous debt of human life and human happiness the white race owes the Negro. In all the records of the histories of white nations, they have repaid each Arms Conference Failed To Accomplish Its Purpose Thrust in Chaos and Unrest by Wizard of Princeton, World Cries in Vain for Peace—Negroes Determined to Fight for Right Denied by Imperialist Powers Bv R. T BROWN Wise and wide-awake men and women everywhere cannot fail to realize that the source of the present unrest among the subject races of the world lies, not in present day happenings but in the dim and distant past, when these subject peoples were robbed of their possessions and despoiled of their belongings and their rights denied and circumscribed. The unrest so plainly manifest in this our day and generation has been brought about by a series of unkind and unjust acts which have been committed against these same peoples until the last enactments and disriminations, acting in the place of the last straws which are breaking the patience and forbearance of these same subject peoples and forcing them to stand up for their rights and their possessions, because they, during long centuries of patience and forbearance, have found that unless a man stands up for his own rights and his own possessions, no one will willingly accord them to him. The race of Negroes, of which I am pleased and proud to form a part, is still reckoned among these subject races, who have given of their time and energy for the upbuilding of the empires of allen races and peoples. But, thanks to the great God, we have caught a vision of the true and real enjoyment of life, as God and Nature intended it to be. The message of inspiration which came to Marcus Garvey and which he has so faithfully transmitted to his fellow Negroes the world over has fallen on ready and eager ears. its import has been caught by millions of eager, earnest, anxious longing Negro souls, and we are responding to the call of the hour with an earnestness and a determination that leave nothing for the world to wonder about. We desire freedom, like as other men. The love of home and country and government animates us Negroes as it does any other of the sons of men. Therefore, we have decided for ourselves, in keeping with the divine prophecy uttered centuries ago, that "THE NEGRO MUST BE FREE and AFRICA MUST BE RE-EMED." and that we of the Negro race are going to achieve The climax in the era of robbery and slavery and spoliation was reached in the year 1914, when the great war lord of Potsdam, drunk with a sense of the power of his empire and the strength and efficiency of the naval and military forces at his command, rushed into the fray against those who dared to oppose his will and the policy of his nation. During the years which followed the white race was divided into two great camps and a struggle ensued the like of which the world had never witnessed before. All the inventive genius of the white race was brought into play, as well as many of the secrets which have been secured from the minds of great men of the other races in the past and in the present age. When the deadlock came it seemed as if the great struggle would never be decided. Then suddenly the forces of the mad Emperor seemed to have gathered great strength and began to make terrific onslaughts against their opponents in the Allied camp. Civilization seemed doomed. Then the Allies awoke to the fact that the Negro has a soul, and the men of the darker races of the world also have heart throbs and soul longings just as they have. In their desperation they called to the men of color everywhere to come in and help save civilization from complete destruction, which seemed so imminent, and to restore once again the regard for the rights of other men, as well as to "make the world safe for democracy." Yellow men and black men jumped into the fray. The tide was turned, the forces of oppression were hurled back and the world breathed free again. In rushing into the fray the men of the Negro race took the white race at its word, particularly that part of the race which comprised the allies. Woodrow Wilson, the wizard of Princeton, in his capacity as President of the United States of America, was universally accepted as the spokesman of the allies. The beautiful truths which emanated from him gave all mankind the belief that the camp he represented was sinbere in its declarations, and that the close of the great world war and the other when the time came, tear for tear, lash for lash, misery for misery, chain for chain, life for life. Suppose the New Negro in the day of his strength were to follow, not their precept, but their example! What fountains of gold would spout, what rivers of blood would run, what millions of white souls would wing their way shrinking into the voids of eternity, before the debt were fully paid! Is it not true that the memories centuries of wrongs have implanted in the minds of a people cannot be erased in a day or a generation? Yet Europe need not fear that the New Negro seeks revenge. He stands with grim face and flashing eyes gazing into the pregnant future, dreaming strange dreams and seeing strange visions. He is awake and knows his powers. But the greatest soul-quality of the Negro is his kindness and pity for those weaker and more important than himself, and only the action of European peoples themselves will cause his wrist to flame forth. the fulfilling of the many promises made regarding the rights of all mankind would usher in the reign of universal peace. Self-determination for smaller people came to be a household word, and men's hearts responded to this declaration of peace, good will, and justice. Thousands of true and brave Negroes went up to God under the shadow of the allied flag and shed their richest blood that this world might be made "safe for Democracy." Negro mothers gave up their sons for the great adventure; Negro women gave up their husbands, and Negro ladies gave up their brothers and their sweethearts, committing them to the care and keeping of the great God Almighty, and the Negro race as a whole in whatever part of the world it was found, gave of its treasure, however small, and its prayers and blessings, and services of one kind and another that the cause of the champions of freedom and democracy might triumph And triumph it did. But when the war ended and the power of the Hun was broken, and his navy smashed, and there was no more danger threatening the destiny of the British Empire, the great French Republic, or the stability of the United States of America, or the security of the kingdom of Italy or any others of the smaller white nations lined on their side, the promises so glibly uttered by the great Woodrow Wilson were given a new and strange construction. Self-determination for smaller peoples was construed at Versailles to mean "self-determination for the smaller white nations of Europe," and the much-vaunted term, "safe for democracy," was interpreted to mean "safe only for white people." The Negro was not even considered, not even for a word of encouragement. On the contrary, his meritorious service, his loyalty and devotion to duty and to the cause of freedom and democracy, were cast into the limbo of forgotten things, while the snubs and sneers, and jeers and insults, began anew and in greater force than before. The lynchings even seemed to become common pastime, and the white race seemed to be bent on establishing the notorious doctrine of Judge Tancy, "that the Negro has no rights which white men are bound to respect." However, it was a sion of the white race who wrote that "the best laid plans of mice and men off gang aglay." And so it is in the present affairs of the world, and the chaos which is occasioned by the blind, wicked, and malicious adjustments made at the peace table of Versailles, which will go down in history as the most notorious misplacement of right and justice which the world has ever known. The statesman who gathered in the peace conclave in that historic city of France lost the greatest opportunity of their lives—the opportunity to render incalculable service to mankind, and to help in bringing about the establishment of Messiah's kingdom upon earth, with the result that the confusion which has arisen from the arrangements made there in 1919 have spread more and greater war clouds than ever threatened the world in any age before, and only with the most painstaking care and the most careful carrying out of the plans of the nations so affected can defer the breaking out of war more terrible than the last. One result of this misarrangement at Vernon was the necessity of calling the Arms Conference at Washington, just recently closed, and which has done so much on paper, but which failed of its greatest objective, "a real appreciable reduction of armaments." The cry of peace, peace, is in the air, but there is no real peace. There is today a greater dissatisfaction among the peoples of the earth than that which preceded the outbreak of the great world war. It is agitation, unrest, and destruction. The signs are not wanting to show that the great robber nations of the earth are having their fill of trouble, internal as well as external. And this great spirit of unrest and of determination to be forever freed from the thraldom of oppression, segregation, Jim-Crowism, lynching, and every other form of injustice and ill-will has taken hold of the Negro peoples of the world. It grows like a rising tide. It gathers force day by day, and will continue to grow and gather force until, like a great avalanche sweeping down the mountain side, it shall bury forever, yes, forever, out of sight all that savors of injustice and oppression to any of its children, or any of the sons of men. And in declaring to all the universe that "the Negro must be free," and that "Africa must be redeemed," we have no apology to make to any man or group of men, or nations, for the Negroes spirit needth none, of alien race to prove its skill; it has the secret of truth, that might power, "indomitable will." Burning his bridges behind him the Negro of the present and the future must press forward with undying faith to the victory of his cause, and the justice of the things for which he is fighting.

Sloan's Liniment 6 # BITS OF OUR HARLEY We looked up from our desk and he was standing before us tall, gaunt and middle-aged. In his hand was one of those tin receptacles for charity-bewishing. Like all other long-suffering Harlemites we shuddered. Beggars with its cups are so numerous. He amused and stood there. We tried to look austere—some money-seekers may be easily intimidated—but not so our brain. "Well, what can I do for you?" we asked, looking the visitor in the face for the first time. "A few pannies for homeless children," he answered. We felt that it was useless to struggily so we donated a dima. No sooner had the coin rattled to the bottom of the cup than we received a hearty "Thank yuh God will shorely bless you." We looked closely at his face this time and saw fanatic fires burning in the small eyes set in a thin freckled face. But our eyes rested longest on the mouth and enclosa. The short, thin upper-lip showed his Cancasian admixture, but a full drooping under-lip spoke for the Negro blood in him. A fringe of scrubbies rusty-red hair completely encircled the whole When he spoke, four teeth showed forlornly in the bottom jaw. We are still wondering if there were any others scattered about in his aging gums. "You don't know me, do you?" he asked. "I am afraid I haven't had the pleasurth!" we answered. "Well, they call me me 'th' black Long-fellow." We brightened. "These be gray days, and a sweet singer in Israel is to be highly honored. Would you favor us with a selection or two?" "Shorely, sharply, but drop in a few mot pennies, please." "What are a few pennies against the sides of an immortal bard?" We dropped in six cents. The poet cleared his throat and sang: "God Shall Without a Doubt Heal Every Nation "There shall be no sickness, no sorrow after white." There shall be no sickness, no sorrow, after while. There will be no more horror. Watch for joy and not for sorrow. God shall heal up every nation tomor- row, after while. God will bring good things to view after while. God shall make all things new. Every child *I* God will without a doubt the called a Jew. God will make us all one nation, after while." "Ain't that beautiful, now?" the poet asked. "Till recite yuh another one." Before we could protest he was in the midst of "The Automobiles "Once horses and camels was the style, Now they fly 'round in automobile. They don't look at a policeman's sign, Sometimes they run over chillun. Sometimes over a divine. When they are drunk with devils' wine, They scoots——" But we had fed into the inner office with our fingers in our ears. The hurly-burly of Lenox avenue fretted our soul. The dirty corpse of yesterday's newspapers, flapping upon the pavement or rising sunns in the gutter, together with the host of the unwashed and washed but glaringly painted, was too unloved and we fed up list street. We were not really hungry but we longed for rest. "A little sign caught our eyes. "Odds and Ends," it read. A yellowish teapot was depleted in the midst of the inscription. A little hunger, a great weariness of spirit, and a sufficient amount of curiosity drew us into the沉浸 dining room. Arraucous bell rang when we opened the door and a soft-footed attendant instantly appeared to take charge of our wraps. Thick of a green screen was a snug room full of odds and ends. Chairs from Colonial New England, bits of pottery from France and Spain, candle-slices from China, brio-a-brna from Nepal, samplers from England—the child of the world brought together in a bungalow. The effect was pleasing, very pleasing. And the guests. At one table was a woman, writer of some ability in company with a wealthy realer. In a corral-like setting, a lawyer of national fame slowly slipped his coffee behind a soft candle and nodded to a world-famous baritone and composer. A silently discussed editor was dining among young woman who hopes to be an editor some day. But the atmosphere is the most at- tractive thing about "Ode and Kafka." We do not know whether it is the sun- heliighting, the ingenuous arrangement of the furnishings, or the spirit of the great number of celebrities that pre- dicted the place. There is a peace, a sense that falls like a benediction upon the masses who enter there. The food that children and more food does not express atmosphere. Forage it is the finally spirit of the probiotic—we do not know him yet—that bids the weary life. We earnestly assess disposabilities for a society, so have his pima mentioned in the sometimes front page and in large headlines of each of our daily pro- sessions. He has committed some FORTITUDE When the struggles of life confront you And you feel overwhelmed and sad; When adversity hovers e'er you, And your course is too steep to plod; When the morn ceases to bring you sunlight, And mid-day no word of cheer; And anxieties of the midnight Beam stronger than you can bear. When friends whom you love perse-cute you, When your dear ones are far away. When the mists of solitude chill you, And your thoughts grow cold as the clay; When your blossome turn pale to wither. When your tears like the river flow, And you wish you could cross the heather And back with the breakers go. Oh remember there's some poor stranger With problems greater than you— Exposed in the desert of danger, And without the smile of a rose. CHARLES H. ESTE.

CHARLES H ESTE YE COLYUMNIST In a former Broadway show, "East Is West," one of the characters, Charlie Young, makes this spiel: "Nobody likeko Chale Young, likeko Chale Young, likeko Chale Young." Now our own Will Hayes, ex-Postmaster General, has this to say, or someone remarked, or someone said he said: "Will Will Hayes have his picture in the papers as often as he used to have his picture in the papers, now that he is in the pictures?" F. P. A. laments the price charged by the meat packer, ice dealers and the telephone company and, last but not least, the proposed eight-cent fare by the Interborough. What concerns us in the latter is, What will become of the present turnstiles and how will the straphangers pay the extra three cents? Will it be loft to each individual on his honor that, after inserting the nickel in the slot, he compute the three cents at the end of each month and mail a chock? --- Going into a chop suey joint, we ordered a shrimp omelotte. Up to now it is a puzzle to us what became of the elusive shrimp. Did the honorable Chinese gentleman who go into an American plan restaurant and order clam chowder, and is he taking this means of retaliation? It further worries us to know just when will the papers return to normalcy, so that we will be able to get our morning edition for one cent, as formerly. 一 For once the cuppe—after all the majesty claimed that 13 o'clock at night as far as the criminals are concerned it, any part of the city of New York is likened to 13 o'clock in the daytime—were able to forestall a daring daylight holdup and caught the culprits red-handed. Thanks to the radiophone? --- If this "shifter movement" was originated by the flappers, we are at sea as to why they have not patented it. The price of beef on the hoof goes down-and-the price of leather on the shelf meats it half way—going up. In remonstrating with a milk driver the other day a lady asked why the delivery men in general were always late. He replied: "Madama, we (the drivers) are never late; it's that you (the people) are too early." Maybe late in their deliveries, but never late in collecting the hapless cagle. On reading in all the daily papers that Princess, Vacillancee Lescelles has ordered so many dozen of dresses and a corresponding number of hats—blue—it must of necessity cause a flutter in the hearts of all the young ladies and suddenly cause them to change their colors; but we wonder, mildly, if this is a designation of the blue blood that courses through her veins. 一 In a recent prize fight, where the fair sex woman greatly in attendance, this conversation was overheard between two of the falkes: "Hasn't he a wonderful torso?" "Whaddays mean torso?" "A mean isn't he spandid? Wouldn't you like to meet him?" "Whaddays mean meet him?" "I'll bet he is a gentleman when dressed is street clothes?" "Heavens Kid, where do we get that stuff?" "Oh! Oh! What's the matter Marry, did he slip?" after the wonder-gentleman find hit the dust from a blow delivered by his wily opponent. Take." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1922 IMPRESSIONS OF THE CITY OF ELMS—SEAT OF YALE UNIVERSITY—A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF A REMARKABLE CITY—PROGRESS OF 6,000 COLORED PEOPLE OF NEW HAVEN, CONN., WHO OWN NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY Four Doctors, Four Dentists, Four School Teachers, Two Lawyers, Two Amazingly Prosperous Business Men, One Doing a Business of $80,000 a Year; Two Clerks in the Public Library, One Clerk in the Tax Office and Over Thirty Colored People Who Own Automobiles—New Haven's Colored Alderman and Famous Physician Who Has a Practice of $15,000 a Year—The New Haven Division Prophet Prince Allen—The Coming of Marcus Garvey. Three things have combined to make New Haven, Connecticut, famous. It is the city of Elms. It is the seat of Yale University. It is the home of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. It is seventy-three miles northeast of New York city on the west side of Long Island Sound. Long Island Sound runs into the Quinnipiac River, which divides New Haven from East and Fair Haven Savin Rock with its White City is the popular pleasure resort on the west shore of Long Island Sound and Morris Cove on the east shore. The City of Elms lies in a valley surrounded by hills. Those hills rise into East Rock and West Rock, which are approximately four hundred feet high. One of the most beautiful avenues in the world. Hillhouse avenue, the home of New Haven's aristocracy, runs into an estate a quarter of a mile square, which rises to a beautiful hill. One block west of Hillhouse avenue, Prospect street, with its great estates, lies on a long hill, overlooking the valley until the oye strikes West Rock. One block east of Hillhouse avenue lies Whitney avenue, which runs into the quiet village of Whitneyville and the beautiful Lake Whitney The most impressive site in the City of Elms is the New Haven Green, a quarter of a mile square in the heart of the city. Three old historic churches with towering spires stand on the street which cuts the Green in two. A flagpole rises in the center of the Green. On the north side of the Green Yale University may be seen. On the west side the Public Library and the County Court House and on the south side the City Hall and the Postoffice. Yale University covers territory a quarter of a mile in width and a half a mile in length. The million-dollar Vanderbilt Dormitory, Phlose Hall, Dwight Hall, the Chittendon Library, Osborne Hall, with its architectural splendor, the Gymnasium and Woolsey Hall, with its magnificent Auditorium, are conspicuous buildings; but the pride of Yale University is the fifteen-million dollar Harkness Hall, which is probably the most imposing building in America. It occupies an entire block and encloses two rectangles. Towers rise on each corner and in the middle of each block. One tower, called the Harkness Tower, lifts itself in regal splendor high above the other towers, with clustering spires. In dignity, grandeur, sublimity, Harkness Hall is more impressive than even the Congressional Library of the National capital and the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York city. Its lofty tower rests upon a calisso foundation. The Citizens of New Haven, Conn. The liberality of the citizens of New Haven matches the stately olm trees and the lofty buildings. New Haven recognized merit in a Jew, an Irishman and a Negro years ago. A few years ago a Jew, Col I. M. Ullman, was president of the Chamber of Commerce. A generation ago a Jew, Max Adler, was a member of the Board of Education. A generation and a half ago another Jew, Mayer Zunder, was a member of the Board of Education. Recently Philip Troup, a brainy son of Erin, was Postmaster and Fitzgerald is now Mayor. Not only did men prominent in politics, like Mr. Benton, chairman of the State Central Committee, Postmaster N. D. Sperry, Judge Livingatone Cleveland and Col. I. M. Lumlain, lend a helping hand to ambitious colored men, but from the ante-bolio days, when Mr. Creed was the popular Yale caterer, to the present, when Dr. I. N. Porter, the physician, surgeon and diagnostician, Dr. Floming, the dentist, who owns a $20,000 home, Herman Scott, the dyer and cleaner and John B. S. Bhuford, the engineer wolder, auto repairer and mechanic, who does a business of $80,000 a year and owns an $8,000 automobile receive white patronage the white citizens of the City of Elms have been ready and willing to give a colored man who could deliver the goods their patronage. In the high school, colored students have been class orators and commencement orators, and in Yale University colored students have won scholarships, fellowships, oratorical and debating prizes. Of course New Haven, Conn. has been somewhat affected by the anti-Negro wave which has swept over the world since the World War. The tension is somewhat increasing, and the white citizens are not quite as tolerant or sympathetic toward the colored people as they were thirty and thirty-five years ago, when the sons and daughters of the aristocrat taught in the Dixwell avenue, the Broadway and English Hall Sunday schools but the citizens of New Haven are as ready and willing to place the laurel on the brow of colored man of exceptional genius, talent, character and business ability as they were a quarter of a century ago. The Colored Population—Part Hulk one of the distinguishing characteristics of New Haven is that more wealth and intelligence is probably found among the six thousand colored people than in any other number. colored people in the world. The colored population of New Haven, Conn. has been recruited from four groups. First, there were the Negroes who had been free since the days of the Revolutionary War. Then, again, before the Civil War a group of free Negroes came to New Haven from Newbern and Washington, N.C. after the Civil war a group of emancipated Negroes from North Carolina, and colored soldiers came to the city. And within recent years Negroes, trained in the professions, came to the city. The group of free colored people before the war made considerable progress. They owned nearly $200 000 worth of property and had a free circulating library Rev Dr Beaumont pastor of the Temple Street Congregational Church, and Daniel Lathrop, the prominent layman of the church, wore New Haven a most distinguished citizens. The colored people, among them my paternal grandfather, owned considerable property on Oak street Cedar street, Martin street (now Edgewood avenue) and Duxwell avenue. Had all of them held on to the property it would have been worth $10,000 000 now but the growth of the population was very slow in New Haven sixty and seventy years ago and the early pioneers did not foresee that the rapid growth in population after the Civil War and the introduction of electric cars would cause the property to rapidly rise in value. Thus one colored man turned down an offer to buy a corner lot for $2000 but in fifteen years that lot sold for $20,000. Of courses, and he foreseen that the property would have jumped in value from $2,000 to $20,000 in fifteen years he would have jumped at the bargain. Neither did the white man who desired to sell foresee that it would jump in value so much in fifteen years, or else he would have taken a mortgage on it instead of selling it. So we can blame the colored man for lack of foresight that the white man did not possess. The group of carpenters and blacksmiths who came to New Haven from Newbern and Washington N. C. immediately before and after the Civil War, contained a same remarkable men: they were Charles McIlenn, Wm Koya, Anthony Skinner, Groves and Willa Bonner, carpenters, Lane John Godetto and Dave Fonderon, blacksmiths, and Fred Moore. Then there came John Norium a carpenter, from Virginia. These men worked for Yale college, and for the richest white people, and nearly all accumulated considerable property. Father Manning, a respected abductor of Fair Haven Conn., was in the early group Mr. James Belasy, a breth of Ft. Wigner came to the city. Then came Capt James Wilkins, another hero of the battle of Ft. Wagner, who evolved from a policy broker into a real estate magnate. Then came Hon. Ebenezer D. Bassett, the first U. S. Minister to Haiti, to reside in New Haven. Three colored men, Capt Thomas Griffin a polished orator; William Manning, a wonderful conversationallist, and Hannah Stilman, the candy maker and boxing teacher of Yale, and Dr. Creed, impressed the New Haven citizens by their intelligence. And Mr. Cooper, the janitor of the old gymnasium, invented the rowing tank of these men Capt Wilkins lost his fortune speculating in Wall Street, and Mr. Bussett in a copper mine. Their successors were more cautious. The result was that Mrs. Dolandson, who kept a boarding house for students, and died a few years ago, had nearly $100,000 in the savings banks of New Haven and Rev Johnson and Mr Moes Rice, who died a couple of years ago each left approximately $60,000 worth of property practically clear of mortgages. Race prejudice has a twofold source. It grows out of the nature and trailing of the person who holds it and it is modified by the persons to whom it is directed. The fact that some of the early colored citizens of New Haven and many of those who came to the city immediately before and after the Civil War, were intelligent, thrifty and progressive, influenced the attitude of the white citizens favorable to them. Thus the president of Yale University and many of the faculty attended the funeral of Charles McGlynn and Ianah Cummings, who served the college for nearly half a century. John Rosa, a staunch churchman, was rewarded by the family he served. Joseph Griffin thirty years ago was a popular Yale tonsilolist artist and he is today. James H. Stewart, for ten years, was Yale's popular caterer; Edward Bouchet, the first colored graduate of Yale, almost won the valedictory and was ever honored in New Haven. John Manning, who died recently, graduated in the early eighteens from Yale. For nearly forty years he was a successful educator in Tennessee. The result was that he was honored by addressing the Yale alumni meeting at the commencement last June. The Colored Population—Present Take the Dixwall avenue car and rise up Dixwall avenue between Lake Flynn and Gregory street in distance PAGE of five blocks, and you will not only see barber shops, tailor shops and restaurants operated by colored men, and two churches, but Holley a magnificent drug store on Foote street and Dix-well avenue and the shingles of four colored physicians and dentists, all of whom have some white patronage and two of them almost an exclusive white patronage They are Dr I N Porter Dr Aubrey Magill, Dr M F Allen, Dr Porter Norcum, Dr R B Flemming, Dr C Hussey, Dr B Foeman and Dr P A Benly Of these Dr Porter has a practice of $15,000 a year. The are also four colored school teachers in the city teaching in mixed schools. They are Miss Caroline Thomas, Miss Cortino Jordan Miss Irene Webster and Miss Helen Williams Miss Ethel Williams and Mrs Norcum are clerks in the Public Library, and Miss Francis Webster is desk in the Tax Collector's office Mrs James Mellon Mrs Whitby Mrs Norman Mr John Hulford, Mr Daniel Brown Mr Sam Speed and Mr Frank Swan own considerable property. And a score like Mrs Anthony Himmer and Charles Johnson own two or three houses Mrs Elion Davis is a successful hair dresser and Miss Adeline Saunders a cousin of Lady Hendra Vinton Davis, runs an attractive notion store. When it is reflected that the colored people in New Haven own nearly a billion dollars worth of property, and that they own a hotel at Bayon Rock Conn and a country club at Cheshire, and that over thirty own automobiles it is an indication of their prosperity. The Cooperative Mercantile and Realty Company alone controls 400,000 worth of property. Rev Dr. John pastor of the Dawson Avenue Congregational Church, Rev Father H O Bowles of the Episcopal Church, and Dr Pharr, of the Baptist Church draw large congregations. Rev Bower Rev Bailey and Rev Fernanda are energetic pastors of the three Methodist churches Mr. George Crawford is a talented and respected lawyer, and Lawyer Harry G Tolliver who was recently elected Alderman deserves special credit. A quarter of a century ago, Mr. Joseph P Peaker, the president of the State Summer League, endeavored to win the Republican nomination and failed Mr. Harry G Tolliver, a modest and quiet young man, graduated from the Yale Law School in 1908. He blended common sense and manliness, and slowly but surely won his spurs. The result was that in October 1921 he had the honor of being elected Alderman the first colored Alderman in the history of Connecticut. New Haven Division and Prophet Prince Allan The present officers of the New Haven Division are Bidley Murray (president Bylvester Marks, executive secretary, Rev George R Brooks treasurer Mr C E Mosey) chairman of the Trustee Board Mr William Haster and Mr Horbard serving faithfully as presidents, Mr Hewitt and Mr Mills as secretaries and Rev Brooks as chaplain in the past Mr J J Cornick of West Haven has loyally aided the division in the past Mrs Anthony Skinner has also generously aided the division Prophet Blaund, of the Church of God and Saints of Christ also helped the division Mr Charles Dawson a carpenter and painter of 107 Route street who gave the free use of his office to Mr Mark, the executive secretary, and Mrs Brooks, who opens her house to the Black Cross Nurses every Monday evening. Illustrates the spirit of the New Haven Division. But the great torment of strength to the division has been Prophet Prince Allen, pastor of the Church of the Living God. In days of old, his church bought $50 worth of Black Star Line Stocks a month. His church donated $65 40 to the local Black Nurces, and $68 20 to the legions. He has frequently come to the treasury of the division Mrs. Yohane one of his members, had pledged a $5 a month donation, to the parent body and on Easter Sunday Prophet Prince Allen will start a drive to aid both the New Haven Division and the parent body. He is a born preacher, well versed in the Scriptures. We are also grateful to Mr George London for his encouraging words when we visited the New Haven Division. The New Haven Division has not had the success that was expected. In the first place the retrenching of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., and the business depression after the war throw many white and colored out of employment, and people are holding on to their money. There was a time when the New Haven people welcomed strangers and innovations. But from the days when Rev. Andrew Chambers left Bethel Church in dabt thirty-eight years ago, from the days when Mr. Donaporte raised money for the Knights of Pythias, thirty-two or thirty-three years ago and disappointed expectations: from the days when Rev.

Men and women, the intelligent and ignorant alike, all have the disease, in a more or less aggravated way called envy. It is more pronounced in women than it is in men, though there are a great many men who are so much like women in their ways and habits they ought to be classified as women and compelled to wear women's apparel from the skin out. The only woman in the world who was not envious or talked about, whose gowns were not criticised nor the manner of wearing them discussed pro or con, was Mother Eve. The contents of whose wardrobe consisted of a fig leaf apron. Being the only woman on earth she was immune from criticism. As the first flapper she set the pace, and the women of this generation particularly are hastily reverting to first principles in so far as dress is concerned by numbering their bodies with as little clothing as possible. The ladies God bless em are all of them charming creatures, and it is still true of them that when they will they will and when they won't, they won't. I hope they won't for if they do all business will be affected whenever the original Eve costume is adopted.

Several types of bacillus exist, but only two are important to the human and the bovine. The lodgement of the bacillus in the terminal bronchial or peribronchial tissues executes a proliferation of the fixed tissue cells.

"I am from Missouri and you must show me." And while many do not invest money in extraneous business propositions, yet if properly appealed to, they will still donate generously to racial organizations which, like the t!

In addition to the specific process other secondary changes are noted. The lung tissue in the neighborhood of the tuberculous deposits is often the seat of a true pneumonic inflammation, the connective tissue is always more or less proliferated the bronchial tubes are flamed and the plural surfaces over the affected areas are nearly always herent.

Mid-summer's bloom And autumn's ripening glory My youth rejoiced. And when winter break Spread melancholy 'round I still smiled on. And I have loved With quivering arms that Clung, and throbbing breast— With all the white-hot blood Of mating's flaming urge. My cool, white soul Has oft fared forth In Astral ways. For none may lag When star dust hides the earth. The wing of dreams Have swept me up To touch my feet on cloud And wander where none But souls dare climb. 30 DAYS OF MARTIAL LAW DECLARED IN NICARAGUA MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 10— President Chamorro and his cabinet have proclaimed martial law for thirty days following discovery of an alleged plot against the government.

The balmy spring weather which prevailed today was in itself sufficient to induce Harlem's large colored population to leave their homes and attend the various places of assembly from which to receive new inspiration. Liberty Hall, which has low come to be recognized as the Mecca of reaccloving Negroes, was the center of attraction, and the great hall was packed with the followers and sympathisers of the Negro Universal Improvement Association, whose enthusiasm and interest were displayed in no uncertain way. Mr G E Carter, special assistant to the President General, who is conducting the Liberty Hall meetings in the absence of the President General, presented a program which was the equal of the best that have been given in Liberty Hall. The speeches, though few, were full of zeal and inspiration and gave evidence of the increasing grip which the U. N. I. A. through its practical program for the uplift of Negroes, is exercising on the race throughout this country and the entire world. The speech of the evening was delivered by Mr John Mitchell, Jr. editor of the Richmond Planet, member of the American Banker Association, fellow of the Royal Arts of London, member of the Geographical Society member of the National Municipal League and president of the Mechanics Savings Bank. This gentleman is on a visit to New York city and is invited Liberty Hall to give his impressions of the U. N. I. A movement and its leadership. As a financier and one who has been associated with the civic and political life of this country for thirty years, Mr Mitchell expresses awareness of a good deal of consideration, and in his opinion the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the greatest Negro organization existing and the most excellently organized body of people. Speaking of the leadership of the Hon Marcus Garvey, he said that Mr Garvey possessed the physical and educational qualifications for the job that was bestowed upon him, and that any attempt to reinforce him or the organization simply strengthened his power and the influence of the organization. In enumerating the various phases of the organization which attracted him he laid special emphasis on the intention of the organization to launch vessels upon the ocean and engage in international trade. That is where the money lies, he said, and as long as you stand behind the leader the plans will reach fruition. The movement Mr Mitchell declared, was so big that it required millions—not thousand—of dollars behind it in order to make the wheels turn, but, said he, that difference does it make as to the cost so long as results are attained. His remarks were received by the large audience with warm approval and his well-merited praise of the Hon Marcus Garvey was heartily applauded. In conclusion he enjoined his hearers to give their undivided support to the movement and stand behind its indomable leader. Hon Rudolph Smith the next speaker captivated the audience with his brilliant flow of oratory. He took to task the past leaders of the Negro who had always pandered to the white man. The new Negro he said, needed a leadership that was true sincere and earnest in the cause of the race. Such a leadership has been found in the person of the Hon Marcus Garvey, and if we will but give our co-operation to him the day is not far distant when Africa will be redeemed and the Negro will establish there a government of his own where his life rights and property will be protected. A splendid musical program was rendered and one of the most important announcements made was the Easter fair to commence at Liberty Hall. April The President General was expected to be present at the opening, and Dr Leroy Bundy, of East St Louis not fame would deliver an address on the second night of the fair THE SPEECHER Mr John Mitchell, Jr. on being introduced spoke as follows Words fail me tonight I am wondering how I got here, and I am debating as to how I shall get away I motored into New York last evening and I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Thompson, my great and good friend and then my bosom and lifelong friend, Mr John E. Bruce, and here I am They tell in Virginia that a party of white men went to the lunatic asylum at Staunton and there saw hundreds of white lunatics, some of them violent, and they looked around and saw a very few guards. Thy could not understand it, and one of them turned to an attendant and said "Are these all the men you have guarding these lunatics?" He asked the question. What if these lunatics would organize?" The guard looked at him with a smile of credulity upon his countenance and he said "My friend, these people are crazy crazy people do not organize. And I have often asked the question. Are the colored people of the United States crazy? I find that those around about here are very wise, for I have never seen a more excellent organized body of people than those who have appeared before me here tonight. Attractive Features of the Garvay Movement I was first attracted to the Garvey movement by the effort to launch vessels upon the ocean and to engage in international trade. There is where the money lies. (Applause.) The white man necessarily wants the colored people to disorganize. As long as you stand organized as one man behind Marcus Garvey his life is safe. Africa has been parcelled out to the civilized nations of the world and only through the Negroes of the United States of American can Africa be redeemed Organization Necessary I am very much impressed with this movement. I am associated, as you well know, with the financial interests of the United States. Money cannot be made by hard labor. You have got to organize and put your money into a centralized body to be utilized and handled by mer of honesty and experience, and when you do that you revolutionize the world. I have heard it asked Where does all the money go? This meeting here tonight tells where it goes. You cannot have an excellent band like you have got here for nothing. You cannot have a choir here that has thrilled me and all who sat here for nothing. You cannot talk about setting up businesses and running vessels which cost millions—not thousands—without money and you have got to put the money there in or let to make the wheels turn. (Apause) What, in the name of God, difference does it make as to what it costs so long as you attain results* Movement Attracting Attention of the World This movement is attracting the attention of the civilized world; but Negroes are born fighting each other and you must not be impatient with them. There was one thing that aroused my indignation which I must speak about tonight before my time expires. For eighteen years I gave my time to the service of the colored people of the South. It is a well-known fact that I led the movement against lynch law. Those of you who know me know the times I have been with revolvers down in Virginia facing the lynchers and standing up for the rights of the colored people of the United States of America, and men who lead us must be the men to suffer Charges Against Garvey Characterized as Ridiculous What more outrageous thing could happen than for the United States Government to launch an attack upon a man—I don't care who he is—upon the ridiculous charge of attempting to defraud by using the mails when he is head of an incorporated organization organized under the laws of this country. The very idea is ridiculous. (Applause) The only thing to do is to have the colored people to stand up and be ready to offer their lives in behalf of freeing a great and glorious people. Colored People Have Come Into Their Own The colored people in this world have come into their own. This world war has launched and permitted it to commence. When France had to go into the suburbs of Africa and call for black men to go and save the Allies, this Negro problem was about being settled. (Applause) Those men when they got to Europe and saw what was there and found out that they could fight for the liberty and freedom of white men they came to the conclusion that they could fight for the liberty and freedom of the black man (applause) and there will never be a return to old-time conditions any more. And so far as I am concerned and so far as I can what little influence I may have in this country, I am going to stand up for anything that will advance this great race of durs industrially financially and along the lines of legitimate trade. Attacks Must Be Ignored I am very much gratified at your leadership. You must not be at all surprised at the attacks made against the leadership—these little attacks coming from colored people. I do not pay much attention to attacks from colored people. You have heard of a race of what is known as the crab race Down in Virginia, they tell me, I you take a barrel of live crabs and leave the crab out of a crab shell will get out, because as soon as one crab tries to get out of that barrel all the other crabs will swing on behind. Movement Not a Crab Movement Thank God, this movement is not another crab movement! You are endeavoring to advance men in proportion to what they are worth and trying to centralise the funds of the colored people, and the only way to do it is to draw the money from the white man and keep it together and use it, and then let it flow back. You know, money was created by white folks, and the creature will always go back to its creator. The only thing to do is to keep it as long as you can and use it so that when it goes back you will have started your factories, floated your boats, and when it goes back to the white man it would have performed service for you. (Applause.) The Inspiration Gained I want to express my sincere gratification at being here. This meeting has given me an inspiration that I have not had for twenty years. (Applause. So far as I am concerned, I say what I believe and what I think. I have been a free lance for the last thirty years, and I have been in a position where I could say exactly what I thought. Support Your Leaders You must support your leaders, and if a leader does not suit, put up some other one you can support. (Applause.) There is no future in this movement unless you stand together. One writer has said it is better that a flock of sheep be led by a lion than a herd of lions to be led by a sheep; and the man you have chosen as your leader (Marcus Garvey) seems to me to be physically, educationally and justly qualified for the job that you have bestowed upon him, and every movement to injure the hope of the organization simply strengthens the organs-tion. What About the Garvey Movement? I have just returned from attending a conference of the American Bankers Association at Los Angeles, and everwhere I want the question asked was: THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1922 So Says Distinguished Editor and Financier-Places High Estimate on Unique Qualities of Leadership Possessed by Hon. Marcus Garvey Is Physically and Intellectually Qualified for the Job U. N. I. A. MOST EXCELLENTLY ORGANIZED BODY OF PEOPLE — BY ORGANIZATION AND CENTRALIZING OF THEIR MONEYS NEGROES WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD Gigantic Program of the U. N. I. A. Will Cost Millions, but the Cost Matters Nothing if Results Are Obtained—Launching of Vessels to Engage in International Trade One of Most Attractive Features of the Organization HON. RUDOLPH SMITH MAKES GLOWING REPORT OF SUCCESSFUL VISIT TO BROOKLYN DIVISION—ASSURES AUDIENCE THAT AT NEXT CONVENTION NEW YORK STATE DIVISIONS WILL RANK FIRST IN PATRIOTISM AND LOYALTY—SOUL OF THE NEGRO BURNING FOR TRUE LEADERSHIP—DISCUSSES DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE AS IT AFFECTS THE NEGRO Announcement of Easter Fairs to Commence at Liberty Hall, April 17 President-General to Be Present on Opening Night -Excellent Programs to Be Rendered—Dr. Bundy, of East St. Louis Riot Fame, Will Speak in Liberty Hall on April 18th "What about the Garvey movement?" My answer has always been this: That the Garvey movement is supported by Garveyites and the Garveyites are putting up the money, and if they are satisfied with the way the money is going, I do not see it is any of my business as to where it goes. (Great applause.) But anybody who knows anything about finance and who knows anything about what it costs to maintain organizations knows that a movement of this magnitude must have money to make it go, and you have got to put money in thousands and you have got to put the money in millions. A State election costs several million dollars—just to run one state—and here is a man talking about running Africa in the United States of America. You must put up the money if you want the thing to go on. "We are coming, coming slowly, Yes, coming; yes, slowly. From the rivers, fields and plantations Comes a factor of the nations. And, like Banquo's ghost, he stands. We are coming; we are coming. Listen, you hear the humming of thousands Who are falling into line. We have lawyers, doctors, preachers, We have sculptors, poets, teachers, men and women Who with honor yet shall shine. We are coming, coming singing, Our thanksgiving hymn is ringing. For the night is slowly passing away, And there comes a brighter dawning. I is liberty's fair morning. We are coming, surely coming—clear praise. And basked in his mighty frogs. Every wrong shall crumble down And the right shall triumph And the world be blessed." Hon. Dudolph Smith Speaks Hon. Rudolph Smith, leader of the Eastern province of the West Indies, was the next speaker and spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, Members of the High Executive Council, Distinguished Visitors. Members and Friends—I am more than pleased tonight to see that, during the absence of His Excellency the President-General and Provisional President of Africa, so many persons GRAND OF UNIVERSAL GROC At 646 Lenn You are cordially invited to ca and at the same time purchase price.

It is indeed gratifying, and I hope that it will always continue so that this great work can be successfully carried on. Turning to the preceding speaker (Mr Mitchell) Mr Smith said I have listened with great interest at what you have said, and I am more than pleased to hear your practical talk Such a talk is necessary to give inspiration to this race of ours. True Leadership Needed We long indeed for true leadership The souls of members of this race are burning for true leadership—not the type of leader that will say, we look to the white man to carry us through life, but the leader who is honest, sincere and earnest in the cause of his race. When the founder of this movement came on the scene about six years ago, struggling on the public thoroughfare and imploring Negroes to follow him, he was partially criticized, but at the same time some Negroes vouchsafed to support him. They supported him even though he was shot. They supported him even though members of the British Government sought to deter him in his work. They supported him, even though men of this race in political life and in other walks of life attempted to criticize him. However, through his leadership over six million Negroes have rallied to the call of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that Africa may be redeemed. (Applause.) We are in earnest about the redemption of Africa because we can find no other land that rightfully belongs to the Negroes. A cause similar to our cause has brought into existence just a few years ago an Indian leader in the person of Maratma Gandhi, has given to the Irish people a leader in the person of Eamon De Valera, has given to Egypt a leader in the person of Pasha Ali and other leaders among different races of people, and this cause has produced a leader in the person of His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey to cope with the situation as it affects this race of ours, and if we will but give our co-operation the day is not far distant when Africa shall be redeemed.

Such lack of confidence, he declared, worked incalculable harm to uplift movements among the race. Make up your mind to do a thing, he said, and the thing is half done. If you do not believe that you can do a thing it is not worth while trying, because the efforts you make towards that end are lost. The speaker reiterated as he had on former occasions his unswerving devotion to the cause of the U. N. I. A. and his unceasing labors to accomplish creditable results. His present itinerary, he said, took him through New York State, starting from Brooklyn and extending as far as Buffalo. He spent three days in Brooklyn last week and was pleased to say that the Brooklyn division for those three days had subscribed $3,900 to the loan fund. Although he had been assigned to the OF hardest state in the Union, he felt assured that New York state in the final analysis would rank first in their devotion and material support of the association. He was pleased to find wherever he went, the industrial awakening among Negroes evidenced by the increasing number of persons who were entering into business and the intention in the near future to operate factors. This, he claimed, was due to the program put forward by the U. N. I. A. Negroes never got that idea until His Excellency Marcus Garvey came on the scene with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and due credit must be given him for this present improving condition among Negroes. He deployed the spirit of jealousy that was prevalent among certain groups of the race against the other and exhorted his hearers to take pattern by the white race whose disposition was to join hands with one another caring not what their nationality was. He cited instances to show that the white race in America had given due recognition to members of their race who hailed from abroad, but who had performed some services that enhanced civilization. He mentioned such man as Paderewski, the Polish artist; Marconi, the famous Italian inventor of wireless telegraphy, and Edison of electric fame who came to this country a poor Irish boy It is necessary, he continued, at this moment that Negroes should arise from their lethargy, get together as an organised body, stand up behind Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. like the Indians are standing behind Mahatma Gandhi, stand up like the Irish are standing behind the Irish Republic; stand up as the Japanese are standing behind their leaders, and some day in the not far distant we shall reach the Promised Land—Africa. The Disarmament Conference Mr. Smith then entered on a brief dissertation on the Disarmament Conference and what it means to the Negro. The Disarmament Conference, he said, was brought about through fear of the leading nations of the world of Japan's growing naval power. In his opinion the conference was a failure, because the Japanese had won out and were now endeavoring to ally themselves with China so that in case of war they could fall back on China to preserve Asia for the yellow peace. In conclusion Mr. Smith said, there is a new spirit at work among the New Negro and 400,000,000 Negroes are lifting their voices high in the air and saying we will stand together irrespective of other nations and other peoples; we stand for a representative Africa where Negroes lives and property can be respected throughout the entire world, and we are looking for the establishment of that through the instrumentality of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

The letter, for which we are indebted to Miss Nellie Uter, recording Secretary of the New Orleans Division No 149, we reproduce as follows The Letter This man, writes Mr. Hughes, Marcus Garvey will certainly be inscribed in history along with Douglas, Washington and other noted Negroes. Douglas for emancipation, Washington for elevation and co-ordination and Garvey for unity. DR. TOBITT SPEAKS TO HUGE THRONG IN BRITISH GUIANA Easequebo Campaign Bringing Large Numbers to In unity there is strength Elevation and co-ordination will follow. We need massed formation to fight down artificial prejudice and race poverty. On the battlefield massed formation is an easy target for the enemy, but in a competitive battle massed formation will win. What man of African descent, he be dead or alive, has ever massed 2,000,000 Negroes under one banner—almost bolted the gloose. I have been a bitter opponent of Mr Garvey, but ask yourself the question "What would you do if placed in Garvey's shoes?" The progapanda which Mr Garvey is propagating is true medicine. He has diagnosed our illness and is now thrusting large doses of unity and race pride down our throats. You are wasting time trying to crucify this man. He has already reached the crisis and seems to be passing through with ease. Do not misrepresent his movement when you would be ever ready to step into his shoes. Go way back and stand up, where you can get a good view of Garvey's hosts passing on. If your conscientious scrupples will not allow you to indorse the movement, we have no objection of you being a silent spectator. Practically all opponents of this movement admit it to be good, but excuse themselves on the ground of bad management, especially the financial end; but when we summarize the general opinion is: We regret the size of Mr. Garvey's purse and the strength of his movement.

He had reorganized the branch last January, and promised them he would visit them at the earliest opportunity. On March 17 and 18 a large number of members and friends of the organization gathered in Liberty Hall here to great the Commissioner. The Leguña and Black Cross Nurses acted as a guardia. Mr. J. A. C. McDhan, President of the branch, presided. Seated on the platform were many distinguished officers of the Division. military additions were made and provisions interposed throughout the pro- gram. The Commissioner took occasion to point out questions where the Memory of Booth Del Toro can be uplifted if fewer rally to the name of the U. N. L.

TOBITT SPEAKS TO HUGE THRONG IN BRITISH GUIANA Easequebo Campaign Bringing Large Numbers to the U. N. I. A. GEORGETOWN British Guiana - A rousing meeting of the U. N. I. A was held at Grant Strong Hope Pomeroon River when several members were enrolled and the ranks of the Legions and Black Cross Nurses increased. The High Commissioner left Grant Faithful for Charity by motor launch to connect with the overland mail bus for Henrietta. A bumper house greeted the High Commissioner at Anna Regina in the Holy Trinity schoolroom, kindly lent by the reverend father in charge Although the people in this district have been hard hit by some former exploiters who seemed to have aimed at filth, here rather than human uplift, yet the doctrine of the U N I A. and A C L as expounded by Dr Tobit was so explicit and righteous that ready and willing compliance with the order of the evening, and officers for the Henrietta Branch were then and there elected by the people with a determination to uphold the banner of the Red, the Black and the green in its march for educational, moral social industrial, commercial and political advancement of a downtrodden people The East Indian element was strong in number, and cheered lustily when the doctor logically and truthfully traced the brotherhood of the East Indian and Negro through the oldest and youngest sons of Ham, viz. Cush and Canaan the former having trekked from Africa the homeland, and peopled Arabia and India. The solidarity of the Negro and the East Indian should therefore be assured in racial development in those rights and privileges which are the common heritage of the human family, viz., life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness. The doctor gave a graphic account of his Essequebo campaign much to the delight of those present. A snd note was touched when he made mention of a grievance that was laid before him concerning two colored men who were arrested in Pomeroon on Wednesday for breaking, entering and stealing from a "big man" of the district and, before undergoing a proper trial, were unmorally handcuffed and flogged at the police station at Charity one receiving over 100 lashes and the other lesa. "If this be true," said the doctor, "it cannot be according to British law and it will be my duty to represent the outrage to His Excellency, the Governor-in-Chief of this Colony, for adjustment. How can there be peace and goodwill on earth if those in authority continue to trample upon the rights and privileges of their fellow men?" If the man have committed a crime, they should be tried and punished according to British laws, which are held the world over to be just, irrespective of race or color. "When we contemplate that there are $70,000,000 people of color in the British Empire today, it is expedient that justice and fair play be meted out to them, so that they might feel that they are not 'the least among the apostles.'"—The Tribune, Georgetown British Guiana.

West Indies Divisions, Eastern Provinces. Fellow Members I regret to state that according to certain developments, it is impossible for me to visit your divisions until after the close of the Third International Convention which will be held in New York from the first of August to the thirty-first, however remember that all eyes are centered upon the divisions throughout the world, and your divisions constitute a great part of this organization aid for that reason, I am desirous of knowing, on all occasions, just what you are doing as well as His Highness, The Potentate Supreme Deputy Potentate President General and all members of the High Executive Council. Whether I am with you in person or not it is your duty to get acquainted with the alms and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and continue to carry on the work so that all persons of Negro blood may connect themselves with this great and noble cause until the dream of Africa's redemption can become a reality through the energetic efforts we make towards that end Organize Auxiliaries for Success of Your Divisions You should make it possible to organize your Legions, Black Cross Nunces, Motor Corps, Juveniles and Choir as the constitution provides, and always keep on hand interesting musical talent that will arouse the spirit of the people on the plans this great organization is fostering. If there does not exist, in the minds of Negro race pride race consciousness and the intense desire to work for race improvement through race solidarity, then I must consider yours a hopeless case and dead to the happenings of this material age and reconstruction period. Pioneers Are Necessary to the Up building of a Nation If the Negroes could only realize their potential possibilities at this psychological instance, they would within a few months, organize and become a great part of this movement that is sweeping down upon the destructionist breaking down the barriers making better men and women of the race helping the fallen, encouraging the educated weak minds of the better days to come through their cooperation and their energetic efforts until one day with the help of Diving Providence we could sco around as architects artisans, surveyors mathematicians, accountants, stenograhers merchants, plumbers, carpenters in sections and professionals, in every walk of life from the Negro race helping to build up a government with all the necessary requirements thereby demanding recognition from all nations and races.

But while I agree that these are very important professions to follow, yet, these are not sufficient for a race numbering over four hundred millions throughout the world to only interest themselves in building. In constructing great structures and fostering great industrial and commercial enterprises, doctors, lawyers and preachers can be of very little or no assistance; yet, pioneers and professionals are a wonderful combination for a nation's progress. This spirit the Universal Negro Improvement Association is trying to inculcate in the minds of Negroes everywhere, and for that reason I am asking you to prepare yourselves accordingly so that intelligent minds can be proud of you.

Marcus Garvey By MRB. IR. L. STUART We have been fortunate to have had the High Commissioner of the State of Ohio, in the person of W L. Sherrill, with us for three days. March 26. 27. 28 On Sunday afternoon a mass meeting was held in Friendship Baptist Church o Tenth street. The building was comfortably filled with enthusiastic members of the division and others. Mr Sherrill spoke on the hopes and aims of the organization As usual the audience was entirely his own when he had finished speaking On Sunday night a business meeting for members only was held in St Pauls Church on Collinswood avenue at which time Mr Sherrill thrashed out differences which had come up in membership and he gave a more thorough knowledge of our duties as officers and members On Monday afternoon another business meeting was held with the Black Cross Nurses and a review was held of the program to be given in the evening at the All Saints Parish Hall on City Park avenue. A the evening performance were again present the loyal members of the division and still other learners and critics. The program was a credit to the Black Cross Nurses and for the first time in Ohio a group of young girls, dressed in costumes made of the U N I A colors, gave a drill which showed much thought and work. The program ended with a short talk by Mr Sherrill in which he paid a growing tribute to the youth of the division an which was just long enough to make those present decide to come out on Tuesday night to hear more. On Tuesday night at the Third Baptist Church Mr. Sherillr was introduced to colored citizens by the Civic League, an organization made up of all the churches, clubs, lodges and societies of the city in other words, the 'Colored Chamber of Commerce of Toledo'. The auditorium was filled with members friends converts and hostile critics who would not endorse to hear Mr. Sherrill under any other conditions at any other place. For two hours Mr. Sherrill held the audience spellbound as he skillfully recalled and recited historical facts, world changes, racial struggles and by picturing future hopes and possibilities of the black people proving to them that the aims of the U. S. A were not impossible. All through his talk he was interrupted by applause and cries of approval. When he had finished the president of the league remarked that 'this was the best talk Toledo ever heard'. This seemed too mild for the audience. One of our attorneys moved that by a rising vote the audience express its approval of the words of the president. The motion was seconded by a nationally known politician of Toledo, and before the motion could be put the house arose as one man with cheets and applause. After the meeting a general reception was held members converts and hopes for them to be fulfilled. Who critics crowding around to be introduced to Mr. Sherritt? On the faces To the Editor of the Negro World Dear Sir ... We the officers and members of the Chester Division No. 156 of the N. L. A. beg leave to explain first, our views on the great movement that now confronts us and which should interest each member of the Negro race. After serious thought we find in all it is that right to liberty and freedom of all mankind which we should possess as any other American citizen since it is the fact that we are taxpayers, servants, soldiers and sailors second to none and have helped to save this country in all her struggles. We feel that this movement is right and we have decided to stand firm. Second. We have watched the movement of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and find in all his deliberations nothing robulous. His chief object is to try and get us as a race to stand united for liberty and justice. We have resolved to stand by him as long as he stands by the right. Third We have found that some of our legal opponents in Philadelphia, Pa have sent to Chester to gather information from members of the Chester Division concerning private correspondence with Mr Garvey to aid them in their prosecution. We cordially invite any one who desires to know anything to please come in person, being sure to be accompanied by a physician or undertaker—probably both. We heartily commend co-operation but abhor needless and unwarranted attack. Respectfully yours, Respond GHESTER DIVISION Miss Sheppy, Cor Secretary Jas. W.

We ought to stop making a god out of men. 6 A grand lecture by Mr W R Campbell who joined us while making his speech his name being recorded on Garvey's book. of those who had been most hostile there rested a look of wonder and admiration. And they mentally paked who is this youth who so prettily changed my eyes and jeer to cheers, who so skilfully paints with words pictures of his own defeats and failures, his strivings and struggles under crushing odds, who still hopes, knows, believes and sees a solution to the problems of black folks, who has longings and desire for freedom and is this youth by showing me these pictures suddenly awakens me and makes me realize that they are my own which I have pushed back in my heart and, believing them to be hopeless have tried to crush them out of my mind." Who is this youth and what is this organization which restores my soul? A few questions were asked and new members were taken in The Toledo division of the U. N. I. A is happy knowing that it is occupying its rightful place of dignity in the minds of the coldbred people. NG OR REBEL- TFORM OF U. N. I. A. Upite Work of Traitors and Edges Boundless Faith in Hon. Marcus Garvey NEW PROVIDENCE DIVISION NEW PROVIDENCE Panama — The members and friends of the U N I A branch met in their Liberty Hall here last week and had one of the most successful meetings since the commencement of the year.

The President of the Division Mr W B McCorty then commended the speaker and asked the house for brief comment which was responded to by Messra Thomas Ivey Johnson, Burnett and others.

VINTON PLUMMER The enthusiasm and genuine spirit of good fellowship shown by the vass audience that assembled at Liberty Hall, New York city last Sunday evening has been ceilped only on the occasions when Marcus Garvey was present in person and gave one of his characteristic 'straight from the shoulder' speeches to his audience. The occasion for this great demonstration last Sunday night was a visit by the venerable journalist and banker Hon John Mitchell, Jr., editor and publisher of The Planet of Richmond Va. He was escorted to the rostrum by his old friend of many years standing Sir John Edward Bruce (grt) himself a writer and scholar of international note. Mr Mitchell had motored to New York accompanied by his friend, Mr Robinson Davidson. Mr Mitchell decided before returning home to "look in on the Universal Negro Improvement Association and get a "first hand idea of just what his colored brethren were doing in New York city at headquarters, and form his opinions from his own observations of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Dr (I. E. Carter, the presiding officer for the evening, introduced him to the Liberty Hall audience. He launched into a most eloquent address, and was heartily acclaimed. He demonstrated beyond a doubt his familiarity with the problems of his race and the best and only way to solve them. Garvey is a fearless champion of the rights of the Negro race" he said, "through the instrumentality of the U. N. I. A., the program ran and must be put over" His address was most masterly surprising all who heard him with his familiarity of the Garvey movement and its activities. His entire speech was punctuated with round after round of applause, as he forcefully drove home to his hearers fact after fact. Bv J. JACKSON TILFORD A request received from a constant reader of the Negro World says, Write something on the indifference of Negroes with regard to their present condition and future security. Volumes could be written on the subject of indifference and many sad stories could be told of the trouble it has caused Indifference which means a lack of interest, carelessness and negligence, when used in the sense pertaining to the wellbeing and welfare of the Negro, is a very dangerous and insecure attitude of mind for the Negro to harbor in this new day and age. Some of the outstanding causes of indifference among Negroes is lack of race consciousness, which has kept him in a weak and disorganized state for five centuries, a well-directed and energetic training in white psychology, that has caused a deficiency in high-mindedness a laxity in racial confidence and ignorance with regard to his power ability and possibility in conjunction with inefficient and dishonest leaders, who lacked courage intelligence, sincerity and vision to bring the race up to a man-sized status in human society in the past, and up to that standard which in now being accomplished by our new self assertion and wise leadership. Not so long ago you will remember we had the uneducated preacher, the unscrupulous politician, the hand-picked leader, the olly tongued orator the olass we like to speak of as the "old crowd", this group of Negroes some of them possibly honest and sincere but hopelessly inefficient, were busily engaged in towing the Negro to his place in the sun, but just as the "old crowd" leadership has passed off the stage of action in Negro life, with their lethargy, sycophancy and slave psychology, just so will indifference, the monster of obstruction that has held the race back for centuries and has helped to rob us of the beauties of nature and the fullness of life; this monster under the new leadership of courage, intelligence and vision, will soon take its place in oblivion with the NEW NEGRO IS ON THE WARPATH, SPIRIT OF GUANTANAMO SESSIONS Despite Storm Clouds of Malice and Intrigue, Negroes of Cuba Are Coming Together and Standing Behind the Policies of the U. N. I. A. LIBERTY HALL, Guantanamo, Cuba, March 12, 1922. The usual Sunday evening mass meeting opened at 8 30 o'clock. Opening remarks by Charles A. Thomas, president. The musical and literary program follows. The first piece was a song by Miss Alma Sakera. This was well rendered, followed by an address by Prof. A. Bolton, subject, "Love, Faith and Unity." He called attention to the great and noble cause, made forcible reference to Hon. Marcus Garvey, and he said Divine aspiration is leading this cause to success. He said mothinka I hear Mr Garvey say right through the valley of death to make 400,000,000 Negroes free. His gestures caused emotion and were heartily applauded by the audience. He spoke for about 20 minutes. This was followed by an anthem by the choir "Arise and Shine." This was harmoniously done. Mr Daniel Richardson performed at the organ. The next speaker introduced was Capt R. A. Charles, who took for his subject "Decelerating the People." The lecturer spoke for 30 minutes and supported Prof Alexander. He was logical and forcible. Our faith remains unbroken. We have heard so much from one who has seen high officials functioning that we can rally around the colrs of the Red, Black and Green. We have been deceived for hundreds of years b, paid Negroes of the other fellow. After making a firm stand against all slanderous attacks upon the association he encouraged all loyal members to stand and fight the knockers without and within. Some will have to shed blood some go to jail some will meet various kinds of death if the race must be free. This was followed by a duet by Misses Standforth and Bassue. I Think of the Fatherland well rendered. This was followed by Madame Alexander, who said in part, I am here to defend Marcus Garvey. I have worked in the office of the Black Star Line and other offices and no individual can get to know their internal workings. All local members and friends should stand fast, support the leader and help the cause, so that we can show the other fellow that we can organise, and took her seat amidst deafening applause. The chairman then made the closing remarks after which the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem at 10 30 o'clock. Second Week Liberty Hall Monday evening March 13, 1922 — On Monday the literary meeting opened as usual the association ode was sung. As From Greenland's Jay Mountains.' Official prayer by the Chaplain, B. H Baccholar, Chairman for the evening, first vice-president D Fredericks. The first piece rendered old crowd" Negro and the fossilized characteristics that no longer are. Indifference within the race is a boomerang and a setback to race consciousness, and race consciousness is the foundation upon which races are built cemented and maintained Arthur Brisbane, writer of Today for Hearst newspapers reaching more than seven million people gives a lesson to the white races a way of analogy. Mr Brisbane commenting on the illness of the Blazek sisters, the Siamese twins, who recently died in Chicago says 'Apart from natural affection each of the sisters is intensely interested in the other, no doubt or pretense about that He further states. Those Siamese twins are not more dependent upon each other than the various WHITE races of the earth, that have been doing all they could to kill each other and weaken each other until they are compelled to make humiliating treaties with Asia feature the Turk to power in Europe. You will observe the thought Mr. Britsane wishes to convey to the minds of his readers—that the interests of the various white races of the dart are identical and as inseparable as were the Siamese, and that the illness and death of the one means the illness and death of them all, as was the case in the death of the Siamese twins. Mr. Britsane in the above statement emphasizes by a forceful and convincing IF U DON'T C CONSULT DR. KAPLAN The Eyesight Specialist RELIABLE AND REASONABLE EYES EXAMINED FREE 531 LENOX AVENUE NEW YORK Onsite Eyewear Hospital Second Week was a song by Mrs. Meade and Jeffers, this was well rendered, followed by Prof A Boltona address on "Perseverance" This is one of the many U. N. I. A. members who manifested true patriotism and is willing to do all he can to swell the cause. He gave an interesting discourse and as on previous occasions was in excellent form. He spoke strongly against knockers of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. He has made a good stand, never yet attempted by any Negro leader. The Ethiopian race once held sway. So forcible was he that he thought he could destroy the enemy at one blow. He was bold, determined and resolute made appeal for financial support buy shares in the B. A and other enterprises, was logical and inspiring. This was followed by a recitation by Ernest Francis (Juveniles), "Since I have been converted." This was masterly done and deserves credit. A song by Miss Alma Bakers, one of Liberty Hall's song-birds, entitled We Like You. The next speaker introduced was Richard H. Bacholar (local chaplain) on the subject Deceiving the Negroes. The lecturer called attention to the literary side of the society, denouncing certain remarks made by those who should help to improve conditions among the race, and he I believe it to be as important as any other branch from an intellectual point of view proved where for 250 years the Negroes were kept for 250 years the Negroes no going backwards, but forward in 1922 quoted great men motto, mentioned Napoleon, Grant of America, made their country great so we, the New Negroes are determined to free our country Africa denounced also the attack made on Hon Marcus Garvey and the U.

"Up and Doing African People" addressed by Walter Norman on the U. N. I. A. The next speaker introduced was Capt R. A Charles subject. Deceiving the people He called attention to the fact that the New Negro is on the rise, that before the end of time the black men will get together and establish a government. He further said that after three and a half years of prohibition the U. N. I. A. through its energetic young commissioner, Mr James O'Meallay has succeeded in getting the governor to allow the peerless man The Negro Would, into the country. That alone is a wonderful asset, we will succeed God has given us a leader, one that believes in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. He has inspired him with wisdom and knowledge and understanding analogy the strict adherence to race consciousness among the white races of the earth What is the significance of that statement to you—what do you learn from it? Now, listen! Marcus Garvey wrote in the columns of the Negro World of March 25, these words We find that all the other races and nations of the world are so preparing themselves against the changes of the future, and it is to our interest so to prepare ourselves. What is the significance of this statement to you and what do you learn from this wise remark? The writer has every reason to believe that failure on the part of Negroes strictly adhere to these words of wisdom may be inviting upon themselves and their posterity unknowingly some new form of slavery, and once again a new tragedy may be checked Every Woman Wants a Beautiful Head of Hair Use the Guaranteed HOR-TON-A HAIR GROWER AND FACE PREPARATIONS HOR-TON-A Hair Grower Grew This Hair.

Let us go back for a brief moment to that Britannian thought expressed to the white world as stated above. You will observe in his instruction to races as to where their interests lie, he used the word WHITE. Who are those leaders who have been telling us so long that our interest was so interwoven with that of the white man's that it was inaccurate? Now, if that be true, why was the word white used and conveyed to the minds of millions of people through the Hearest chain of papers, forming and controlling public opinion to a greater extent than any other source of information in this country? How will that brand of leadership apologize for and explain relevations of this kind that come to the surface from time to time* Is it not conclusive proof that the interest of one Negro is the interest and concern of all, and the problem confronting the Negro must be solved by the Negro himself, and indifference on the part of the Negro to realize this fact and act upon it wisely, thoroughly and quickly, while the opportunity is here and the time rotten ripe may keep them on the bottom rung of the ladder of human society for another 500 years. You will read in your history that Frederick Douglass, the great Negro statesman even though a slave, never permitted himself to be indifferent as to his rights as a man nor his inherent right of freedom, and through courage, self-assertion and determination to realize this longing he escaped from the bonds of object slavery and won for himself a memorable place in American history, becoming an author, lecturer and a public official of note and distinction. Indifference and lack of courage on the part of Douglass that would have kept him in slavery twenty-seven years longer than he actually was had he not escaped, might have robbed the Negro race of one of its noblest heroes and one of its greatest historical characters. Yes, indifference in the individual is costly indeed, and what is true of the individual is also true of the race. Read the life and work of Fred Douglass. Like Marcus Garvey, he was a believer in liberty, always and everywhere. "The great are only great because we are on our knees. Let us rise."

AND OFFICERS OF PRO IMPROVEMENT VIATION WHERE NEST WITHFUL VAL ETERNAL EMENT VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTION BY A DIVISION All Members Should Sock to Protect Interest In the last issue of the Negro World, a news article was published from the Montreal Canada, Division of the Universal Negro Improvement through its Literary Club and written by Mr. V. M. Langston. The article was a report of a meeting that was held at 153 Guy Street, on Thursday, March 23. From the report it was shown where the members of the association allowed one Mr. Hancock to organize’ a society by the name of the Ethiopian United Building Socicty in a meeting of the association among its members. | The publication of the news in the Negro World was really an oversight on the part of the editor, in that the whole transaction of the mecting was irregular and unconstitutional. The President-General desires to inform the Mon- treal Division of the unconstitutionality of the act that caused Mr. Hancock to have organized the Ethiopian United Building Society at a meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The President-General further desires to inform all divisions of the association, that any such act on their part will be rogarded as an open violation of the Constitution of the organization, and a violation of their charter rights. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is an international corporation, and cannot allow its name to be tampered with by having individuals organizing within it other corporations and organizations that may prove a failure, and thereby reflect against the honor and reputation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, All members are requested to take a de- cided stand against any such attempt on the part of any individual at any of the meetings of the association.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1922 El Puchlo Haitimo Urge a Los Estados Unidos a Respetar la República Cuando se llamó la atención de los empleados del departamento de estado acerca del informe recibido por la Haiti-Santo Domingo Independence Society anumclado una gran demostración que tuvo lugar el ultimo domingo in Port-au-Prince pidiendo a los Estados Unidos que diera los pasos immediatos para restaurar el gobierno constitucional en Haiti y hacer efectivos los planes para la celebración de las elecciones constitutionales para dar un sucesor a Dartiguenave, cuyo termino presidential expira en Mayo, los empleados del departamento aseguararon que ya se habia adoptado esa política. La Actitud de la Gram Raza Blanca Ha Sido Siempre Subyugar y Explotar a Las Demas Razas—El Prejuicio Existe Principalmente en Contra de Las Condiciones—La Asimilación No Ha de Salvarnos—Es Hora de Afrontar el Problema de Razas Mas Seriamente Ha llegado la hora de que afrontemos el problema de nuestra raza en este hemisferio con toda la seriedad y tacto requeridos por el caso. Por mas de ochenta años hemos estado indecisos acerca del resultado derivado del contacto entre las razas en esta parte del globo. La retrada de las tropas norteamericanas de ocupación, se haz significar, seria imposible al presente y dana por resultado en Haitu una situación caotica. Cable recibido por la Haiti-Santo Domingo Independence Society informa que Georges Silvain, presidente de la unión patríctica, y el señor Henrique, probablemente el Dr. Henrique, presidente depuesto de la república Dominicana, fueron arrestados como provocadores de la demostración del domingo, pero puestos en libertad porque las pruebas contra ellos eran insuscientes. Algunos de nuestros intelectuales creen que dentro de pocos años mas, los pueblos blancos decidirán asimilarse la población negra, hundiendo por consiguiente todo prejuicio racial al recibimiento de la raza negra dentro del compañeroismo social de los blancos. Creen ademas que de la fusión de las razas surgirá un tipo especial el cual será el americano y antillano del futuro. Las demostraciones concluyeron aprobando la resolución recientemente presentada al senado por el senador King, democrata de Utah, requirendo al presidente de los Estados Unidos a denunciar el tratado de 1915 para proveer a la celebración de elecciones populares libres en Haiti, no después del primero de Julio, para el nombramiento de la asamblea constituyente y la retirada de las fuerzas de ocupación, después de haberse instalado el nuevo gobierno y adoptado en Haiti una constitución dicta por el país Nuestro pensar y sentir sobre el particular varia de cierto modo. Creemos que la realización de tales ideas tardarán centenares de años. Todas y cada una de las razas tienen que, por medio de su propio esfuerzo e iniciativa, elevarse al estado de civilización actual y obtener el respeto y aprecio de las demas, al entrar en el concierto de la igualdad. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negro confía en el vigor e iniciativa del Negro pudiendo hacer todo cuanto cualquier otro ser haya hecho no solamente en esta parte del globo sino en el mundo entero, poniendose al nivel de progreso y gozando de los mismos privilegios que disfrutan aquellos que se le antepusieron. La paz presente de Haiti se esta alterando, debido a la aproximación del 10 de Abril, segu comunica la Haiti-Santo Domingo Independence Society, pues en esa fecha la legislatura nacional debera elegir sucesor al presidente Dartiguave. y al hecho de que no existe tal legislatura a causa de la negativa que se alega de parte de los jefes de la ocupación el pasado invierno. La cuestión de relación entre las razas en America será simplemente una broma para aquellos que creen que esta puede resolver por medio de asimilación. El hombre blanco de America por ningun medio esta actualmente dispuesto a asociarse con el Negro por creerse cometer un crimen en contra de su propia raza y por el hecho de que no está aun preparado para ello. Se ha anunciado que el consejo de estado nombrado por el presidente para ejercer los poderes legislativos hasta que se celebren las elecciones, elegiria el sucesor de Dartiguenave el 10 de Abril. Segun declaración hecha aquí por la Haiti-Santo Domingo Independence Society. "la opinión unánime de las autoridades haitanas es que es una elección inconsistuional". Añadíse que "se alega libremente por los que han cooperado hasta aquí con las autoridades de la ocupación que Dartiguenave, a fin de asegurar su acuerdo a los términos del empresistio propuesto por los banqueros norteamericanos, ha tenido promesas de continuar en la presidencia apoyado por la ocupación, después de la expiración de su período en Mayo." Para el hombre blanco la cuestión de diferencias de razas es un sentimiento eterno; nada ha de cambiar su actitud en este respecto. Toda vez que el Negro no cambie de condición, toda vez que el Negro ocupe la misma posición inferior entre las razas y naciones existirá el juicio, por no hallarse en condiciones de poder demandar la consideración que ninguna raza o nación pueda negarle. La eterna actitud de la raza blanca es subyugar, explotar y si necesario fuera exterminar a los pueblos mas débiles con los cuales esten en contacto. Su política es primeramente subyugar si tienen la oportunidad; luego explotar y si los pueblos débiles no estan dispuestos a ser subyugados y explotados, recurren finalmente al exterminio de esos pueblos o razas débiles. Tal fue la suerte del indio americano y de otros tantos pueblos en los distintos países habitados actualmente por la raza blanca. Dicese que el consejo de estado proyecto 'elegir uno de su propio personal para el cargo de presidente y rehusa obligarse a las promesas que la ocupación hizo en su nombre.' En ta República Haitiana La Gran Bretaña tene su India, Belgica tene su Congo, Japón tene su Korea y los Estados Unidos tenen su Haïta. Bajo las botas imperiales de estos poderes, los puentes oprimidos han apelado a la conciencia humana para que cessen sus tormentos. En los Estados Unidos de America no podemos esperar un solo dia de amistad, simpatia o relación social; nuestro semejante no tiene la inclinación hacia tal actitud por creer firmemente en la superioridad de su raza. Actualmente él es poder, progreso y adelanta en todas direcciones. Todo cuanto él haya adquirido ha sido el resultado de su propio esfuerzo, no por medio de la dirección de otra raza. Las protestas de todos estos pueblos oprimidos difieren muy poco Tan pronto como estos grandes poderes disponen de capital, lo envian a sus respectivas colonias para ser invertido en grandes empresas. Las fuerzas militares y navales siguen a ese capital y destituyen el gobierno de los nativos. Se establece immediatamente un régimen que proteja a dicho capital y empieza el dominio imperialista. Es natural, es humano que el hombre progresista se eleve y retenga su posición de superioridad; lo mismo acontece a las razas y a las naciones. Mientras mas potente la nación, mas respetados los ciudadanos de esa nación; mientras mas fuerte la raza, mas orgullosos los elementos que la componen. El sentimiento de prejuicio está profundamente arraigado en la mente, cuerpo y alma del hombre blanco de America y no ha habido razón humana que la haga desistir de ese modo de pensar y sentir. Le Courrier Haitien pubica algumas de las hazafas ejecutadas por los que simulan haber llevado el orden a Haiti. En nuevo meses la redacción de dicho periodico ha sido victima de destrucción y arresto de seis de sus empleados. Cinco de ellos fueron condenados a seis meses de trabajo forzado y $300 de multa cada uno. Un reporter fue extraído de su propio hogar por haber pronunciado un discorso en el 119 versario de la adopción de la bandera haitiana. Dos editors fueron encarcelados por haber publicado artículos criticado la ocupación americana. El editor en jefe fue obligado a trabajar sin sombrero bajo un sol tropical y estuvo a punto de perder un ojo defendiendose de un asalto por un official americano. Para poder contrarrestar el malestar que produce tal sentimiento, existe solamente un medio; el plan delineado por nuestra Organización. Tenemos que reconstruirnos como raza, elevarnos a la posición de verdaderos hombres, hombres de iniciativa, hombres de valor y poder, hombres de grandes realizaciones, ganando así nuestro puesto en la gran lucha por la existencia. La actitud de las otras razas no ha de cambiar hasta que no cambie nuestra situación actual. Necesitamos una nueva emancipación, necesitamos reedificar una cultura y una civilización propia. Todo pueblo o raza que acepta la cultura o la civilización de otro pueblo o de otra raza está en el peligro de ser subyugado por aquellos de quienes aceptó tal influencia. Existen ademas un sinnúmero de datos los cuales sin duda habrán sido tomado en cuenta por otras publicaciones en este país. Ahora bien, pensamos en aquellos días gloriosos de excitación "patriotica" cuando Wilson nos llamaba a la defensa de los pueblos débiles. Todos estos. veljamente. eran cometidos cuando el mismo pronunciaba aque Cuando el Negro se disponga a hacer lo que cualquier otro ser humano haya hecho, no solamente la Naturaleza le aceptara como un hombre sino que el Creador se complacera de verle hacer uso de las facutades que él le haya dotado llos "sentidos" distururos ofreciendo como parte integrante do las "fuerzas morales del mundo." Siンレmbargo tuvo gran cautela de cubrir los actos de su administración en el Haiti ensangrentado. Harding ha heredado la política "moral" de Wilson y los habitantes de Haiti tienen que tomar la misma medicina de un recipiente con etiqueta republicana. Afortunadamente los Alemanes no vinieron aquí y se apoderaron del "tesoro" americano en el Caribe. Cual hubiera sido la suerte de los haitianos si no hubieramos ganado la guerra? - Nueva York Call. El Senator Borah Favorece la Ley Contra el Linchamiento El Senador W E. Borah, presidente del sub-comite a cargo de la ley en contra del linchamiento, ha manifestado que dicho proyecto de ley sería presentado al Congreso a la mayor brevedad para su aprobación final. Procedentes de individualidades v organizaciones de todo el país, el Senador Borah recibe peticiones con el objeto de que dicho proyecto se colocado en el calendario actual, recomendando su aprobación. El Senador Borah ha contestado a todas las peticiones, prometiendo dar al bill la primera operación. Es sabido que el Senador Borah realiza el gran interes nacional demostrado en la legislación de esta ley y se espera que el dirijura la campaña por la aprobación del proyecto Nueva Idea de Destrucción En vista de que el Congreso de los Estados Unidos se propone castigar el linchamento, se estan tomano otras medidas para destruir no solamente nuestras vidas siro también nuestras propiedades. Se han registrado varios casos en la ciudad de Chicago de haber arrojado bombas explosivas en los hogares de familias de nuestra raza, causando daños de consideracion. Esta es a nuestro entender una nueva idea de linchamento, la cual no requiere violencia ni aglomeracion que llame la atención pública. Hace siete años el Sr. Carlos Davis, empleado del gobierno federal, compró una casa en la avenda Forestville de dicha ciudad, en cuyo vecindaro no residían aun familias de nuestra raza. Cuando llego la hora de tomar posición de la propiedad, el Sr. Davis con su familia y sus muebles se dirijó a las puertas de su nuevo hogar Alli encontró un grupo de personas y un cordon de policías que le impidieron entrar en su propia casa. Los que vivian en la casa reusaron entregar la lave a sus nuevos dieños, llevandola a la oficina donde se ha hecho la negociación. Uno de los vecinos que compone el grupo que rodeaba la casa toma la lave sin consentimiento, reusando entregaría a su dueño, el cual aund no ha podido ganar entrada en la casa. El caso esta desde entonces en la corte sin haberse resuelto nada sobre el particular. El hogar del Sr. Davis ha sido marcado y bombardeado en tres diferentes ocaciones. Ningun arresto se ha ejecutado y muy poca atención se ha prestado para prevenir esta nueva idea de destrucción Immigración en la Argentina El goberno argentino ha decretado que para la entrada en el país los pasajeros se ajusten a las siguientes disposiciones "Pasajeros de primera clase.—Pasaporte con fotografia y certificado judicial o policía del país de procedencia, en que conste que no ha estado bajo la acción de la justicia por delitos contra el orden social durante los cinco años anteriores a su llegada o por delitos que hayan dado lugar a pennas infamantes Los exagenarios y las señoras que vijen en el esposo, con hijos menores de diez años, pueden entrar en el país con permiso especial, que otorgarán las legaciones argentinas. Pasajeros de seguenda y tercera clase — Pasaporte con fotografia certificado judicial o policial del país de procedencia, en que conste que no ha estado bajo la acción de la justicia por delitos contra el orden social durante los cinco años anteriores a llegada o por delitos que hayan dado lugar a apenas infamantes, certificado policial o comunal sobre salud mental y no ha ejercido mendicidad, y certificado consular o de las autoridades del domicilio del extranjero que acredite sus aptitudes industriales. Los cuatro documentos deberan ir visados por el consul argentino del puerto de procedencia, de la jurisdicción a que corresponda la localidad en que ha residido el extranjero. Los escenagarios solos, así como las mujeres acompañadas solamente de hijos menores de dies afiles, no pueden immigrar a la república ni que estan provinces del permiso, correspondiente expedido a petición de parientes radicados en el país, y obligados a pretensión de alimente. La Cuna de la Raza Humana El descubrimiento recientemente verificado en el norte de Rhodesia de un craneo fosilizado marca una nueva orientación en los estudios del hombre prehistórico y que se ha interpretado como una confirmación de la teoria darwiniana de que la cuna de la raza humana fué el Africa. El craneo, que está integro, salvo la mandibula superior, se parece al del hombre mono (pithecanthropus erectus) descubierto en Java en 1892 que ha sido considerado como el craneo humano más primitivo que se conoce. Al craneo de Java le faltaba sin embargo, la cara. A este respecto, el fosil de Rhodesia revela un típico sumame parecido a aquel conocido con el nombre de "craneo de Gibraltar" Han sido también desenterrados un hueso del cuello, otro de la pierna y parte del hueso de la cadera, y es posible que los anatomistas puedan ahora reconstruir las principales partes del esquelo rhodesico El describimiento tuvo lugar en la "Caverna de los huesos" de la mina Broken Hill, famosa va por la belleza de sus estalactitas y estalagmitas y notables sobre todo por el hecho de que la cal de que estahan originalmente compuestos ha sido reemplazada por fosfatos de cimz y de plonio Fue el valor comercial de estas formaciones lo que llevo a la transformation de esta caverna en una de las mimas más extrafas que se conozcan El suelo consiste en una masa de restos fosilizados de elefantes leones, leopardos, rinocerontes, hipopotamos, antilopes, aves y muriçelagos. Cientos de toneladas de estos restos de animales han sido removidas, pero no se encontraron huellas de hombre hasta una profundidad de seenta pies bajo el nivel del mar, en cuyo sitio se hallaron los husos más arrbia descritos, rodeados de un conglomerado de plono suave y delezable El Comisionado de Puerto Rico Recomienda Una Investigación WASHINGTON, D C.-El Hon. Felix Cordova Dávila, comisado residente de Puerto Rico. pronunció un extenso discuro en la camara de representantes replicando detalladamente los cargos que contra el, en defensa del gobernador del Puerto Rico. E. Mont Reilly, pronunció hace dos semanas el representante Strong de Kansas. Ofrecióse por vez primera oportunidade al Sr. Dávilla para replicar a las acusaciones de Mr Strong las que analizó cuidadosamente, una por una, para demostrar lo injusto de los hechos relatados. Insistiendo en que ha de procederse por el congreso a una investigación de la conducta del gobierno-Reilly de Puerto Rico el Sr. Dávila la llama la atención sobre el hecho mencionado por el representante Strong relacionado con la satisfacción que como este dijo sentirian los anigos de Reilly si se realizaba la investigación de los actos de los adictos al partido unionista de Puerto Rico en el desempeño de sus funciones públicas El Sr Dávila dijo que tanto el como el partido unionista, como el pueblo de Puerto Rico verian con agrado tal investigación y que retaba al representante Strong a presentar una resolución solicitando la investigación por el congreso de los hechos. "En conexión con el denominado intento de varios caballeros de Puertorico Rico de procurarse el pago de $5,000 con las actividades del partido unionista con la labor legislativa de nuestra asamblea general y actos oficiales de E. Mont Reilly como gobernador de la isla" Dávila invitó a Strong a presentar esa resolución y en el caso de no hacerlo a admitir que el gobernador Reilly renueva una investigación. El Sr Dávila declaró que ha sido autorizado por el presidente del senado Sr. Barceló y por el presidente de la camara de representantes de Puertorico para aceptar y pedir la investigación propuesta por el representante Strong, incluyendo las insinuaciones lanzadas por las amigos del gobernador ó por este mismo en persona. Llamo la atención sobre el hecho de que el gobernador Reily no ha negado las acusaciones que se le han lanzado desde la tribuna de la caimara por el comisionado residente ni ha solicitado disculpa alguna. Dijo que la acusación llannada por Strong contra el partido unionista al que calificó de "desleal" era "injustificada". "El argumento de más fuerza en favor de la independencia de Puerto Rico to presenta hoy el propio gobernador Reilly y los-partidarios de aquella apoyando en la conducta de este señalando como el símbolo del "americanismo" ha declarado Dávila, comentando los cargos del representante Stiving que manifestó que el proyecto de Ley Campbell pendiente de estudio del congreso que estableció la amnomia de Puerto Rico al amparo de la bandera de los Estados Unidos tidiada a destruir el americanismo y a destruir el buen gobierno de Puerto to Rico y que la presentación del mencionado proyecto de ley habla婆 aprovechado en Puerto Rico "por los partidarios de Barcelo y Dávila con el fin de recaudar fondos para seguir su propaganda y hacer frente a la situación political." El Sr. Dávila declara que "existe un elemento en la isla que sincera y honestamente cree que la independencia es la única solución a nuestros problemas" afandiendo que "firmenemente crea en la felicidad de Puerto Rico al amparo de la bandera de los Estados Unidos" y que "cuando se trate de sentar un nuevo estado legal permanente en la isla el congreso de los Estados Unidos vera el pueblo de Puerto Rico estará perfectamente satisfecho con acceptar un gobierno autónomo bajo la bandera norte-americana. Replicando a la acusación lanzada por el representante Strong quien dijo que la causa de la antipatía que Dávila siente por el gobernador Reily era la negativa del crédito de $5,000 para la legislatura de Puerto Rico,ido el Sr. Dávila que sus amigos de la isla le recomendaron la aceptación de ese crédito. Dijo que no estaba preparada para sostener si el mencionado crédito era o no valido pero "sé que preeminentes abogados de Puerto Rico sostienen la validez alegando que si el asunto se pone a consideración de la corte de jurisdicción competente se derogara la determinación de la legislatura." El comisionado aseguró que ese credito "no envolvía inmoralidad alguna. Nuestros legisladores no desean ocultar nada" dijo. Refriéndose a los cargos hechos por el representante Strong de que se haban remitido $600 al comisiónado Dávil dio que era para sufragar los gastos legales de la comisión portorriquena preguntando después si alguno de los caballeros de Kansas "pueden decirme quién sufragos los gastos de los tres señores que acompañaron de Puerto Rico a Washington al gobernador en la campaña a su favor" "Su pregunta acerca de la inversion de nuestros fondos particulares," afañadó Dávil, "sugiere que ha de tener aún mayor interés por conocer como el gobernador emplea los fondos públicos de Puerto Rico." Oferta de Retirarse de Santo Domingo La reiteración del deseo de entre gobierno para el establecimiento de un gobierno constitucional en la República Dominicana y el retro de las fuerzas de ocupación, se hace en el anuncio del departamento de estado respecto del empréstito, por veinte años, de $6,700,000 que el gobierno militar está preparando para el mejoramiento de las condiciones económicas y financieras de ese país. Mediante este empréstito se podra concluir el camino del norte y el sur, proveyendo así un medio de comunicación entre la capital y las grandes ciudades del norte y el sur y dando acceso a una región del país cuyo desarrollo se retarda por la falta de facilidades de transporte. Según la exposición del departamento de estado el empréstito llenaria estas condiciones: El retiro de los bonos comenzaria en 1930, cuando se calcula que habrán sido pagados completamente los bonos de 1908. El empréstito se emplearia para retirar el balance de los bonos expedidos en 1921, por valor de $2.500.000, que ahora paga un interés de 8 por ciento; para pagar el pasivo de la república, que para Enero de 1922 se calculaba en $50.000; para pagar la deuda de $50.000 contra por el gobierno militar para emplearlos en tabaco, que emprendió el gobierno para ayudar la los plantadores; para pagar el balance de $500.000, proveniente de la deuda de certificados expedidos en Enero de 1922; para concluir el camino del norte y el sur que atraviesa la república, y otras empresas públicas necesarias. El empréstito, dice el departamento, se hizo necesario por la depresión financiera que afectó a la república, así como a otras hispanoamericanas; a causa de que disminuyeron las entradas del gobierno, por lo cual hay que cubrir el deficit: la refundición de la emisión de 1921 y el reembolso de los certificados de 1922, que en las actuales condiciones del mercado serán ventajosas para la república; y para la conclusión de los caminos. El nuevo empréstito se garantizará con las entradas aduaneras y entre el gobierno militar, y los banqueros se ha llegado al acuerdo para que se continúe reeblectando las rentas por un empleado nominado por los Estados Unidos. El empréstillo no se compleja sho depresión de la babeira, establecida un goblerio dominicano por dominicanos. Cuentatena hiora que pudo devaras a cabo am el inturo -declarar el departamento de estado -s los diligencias politicas del Santo Domingo cooperan con el goblerio militar de modo que se celebren las elecciones necesarias y se den las elecciones necesarias. En la ciudad de Pasadena, California, en un banquete celebrado bajo los auspicios de la Unión Social Panamericana, se acordó y llevó a efecto enviar al ciudadano presidente de los Estados Unidos el siguiente mensaje: "La conferencia milsonera latino-americana de la iglesia episcopal motodista, en su sesión annual efectuada en Pasadena, Cal., y compuesta de tres mil concurrentes, en su mayoría mejicanos, teniendo en cuenta la gran importancia de que existan relaciones amistosas entre las dos naciones hermanas, suplican respetuosamente al gobierno de los Estados Unidos que preste una consideración favorable al presidente Obregón y su gobierno. (Firmado) A. W. Leonard, Rev. K. M. Sein, secretario de la conferencia, Rev. V. M. McCombs." El Japón y la República de Chita A pesar de los chocques entre las tropas rojas de la república de Chita y la fuerzas japonesa en Siberia, se ha reunido de nuevo la conferencia Dairen y las noticias llegadas qui hy indican que se ha llegado a un acuerdo completo entre el Japon y la república del extremo oriente. El ministerio de relaciones exteriores japonesas está considerando hoy el acuerdo. Las noticias recibidas aquí confirman los rumores del choque entre las fuerzas de Chita y el Japon. Las tropas de la república de Chita atacaron a los japoneses el domingo y fueron rechazadas con ochenta bajas. En la noche volvieron a atacar de nuevo y por segunda vez fueron rechazadas.

CASE OF MATTHEW BULLOCK DISCUSSED BY LEO AFRICANUS North Carolina "Gone Mad" Over Action of Canadian Authorities for Shielding British Subject Accused of "Inciting Riot" By LEO AFRICANU8 The case of Matthew Bullock, an American Negro of Toronton, Canada has awakened a great deal of interest in the treatment meted out to him by the crown forces. Whatever Bullock has done outside of inciting to riot in North Carolina when it reaches the Canadian palace of justice will be equally balanced before the case will be disposed of. We should not for a moment forget that in days of anguish, in the days of slavery, in the days of the Negative Slave law, when Daniel Webster by casting the deciding vote made it possible to run down Negroes in the cities of the North as wild beasts—then it was the glorious day for Canada to be a great land of liberty great for justice and the country where the beautiful slvery rays of the North Star gleamed out for a slave greater than the tungsten lights of the moon. There are few slaves whose names we treasure today in our diadem of humanity who did not energetically and pantingly leap over the great chasm for sunshine and liberty, such as Prederick Douglass, William Wells Brown Samuel R Ward, Pennington, Henson, Bishop Loguen and others, to fight the good cause overseas and bring to the heart and mind of the English speaking people a calm realization of the seriousness of what was happening in the hell pots of slavery In Canada, the case of John Anderson fired the mind of England. It all came about Lord Lyons. who was British Minister at Washington, when he reported to Lord Justice Russell the resolution which Senator Green of Missouri introduced in the Senate, requesting the President of the United States to communicate to that body any correspondence which may have taken place in the matter where Lew Cass had the honor to request his British Majesty's Government to issue a warrant for delivery to the only authorized persons from Missouri in order to bring back Anderson for trial. This request was the beginning of a press of trouble which lasted for years. It was some tangled skeln—the matter was forwarded to Downing Street, where Justice Russell and the Duke of New Castle took note, and in his letter to Canada commented that the case of Anderson "is one of the gravest possible importance." From the records it appears that Anderson was a slave in Missouri Syncae F. P. Diggs was trying to stop him from running away from his master, McDonald. It is stated this happened when Anderson was on his way to interest Charles Givens to either exchange or purchase him from his master. It was customary for the white people to arrest Negroes whenever they had any suspicion that they were running away from slavery it was in this affray that Diggs received his wound and got his death blow from a juckknife. The lawyers or barristers representing the prisoner interposed and check-mated all efforts to have him brought back to Missouri (U. S. A.), but by write and other formidable legal moves it ended in a writ of habeas corpus, and he was carried safely to England. But before this was attained the Duke of Newcastle, in enclosure known as No 5 from Downing street, London, England, says: "If the result of that appeal be adverse to the prisoner you will bear in mind that under the Treaty of Extradition he cannot be released over to the United States authorities by the mere action of the law. That can only be done by a warrant under the hand and seal of the Governor." That the case was to be a precedent for the future, where men of color was concerned, can wall be judged by the fact that in letter known as B-A in the protocol, he required from the Government of Canada that "not only information of what may be hereafter done, but also as complete and accurate a report as possible of all proceedings, legal and otherwise, which have occurred from the very commencement of this case be forwarded to London. The language of the British governmental officials is precise in the Missouri and North Carolina cases; the most elementary rule of evidence was omitted and the prisoner's surrender demanded by virtue of diplomatic stricture—when the machinery of the law got in motion evidence of the disposition before magistrates showing the animus furandi was nowhere to backburn—the broad mantle of the law which we postulate and advise the world, was changed to read: "a man in guilty unless proven innocent." In the Bullock case North Carolina had gone mad because the Canadian authorities do not accept the shadow rather than the substance. They expected that an extradition demand would, in itself, be granted upon its fink and Canadians forget the famous Anderson case—not satisfied with the adjurges fulting granted by Canada against returning the prisoner to North Carolina. Now comes an Abornathy to issue an invisible and vaporous threat that within ninety days Bullock would be brought back for a breathing bee in North Carolina. No greater autocrats of this world can be found, as in this kind of people who think they can To All Divisions and Members of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION A copy of the records of all Divisions, Branches, Chapters and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been stolen from the Secretary-General's office by some one who was employed by the organization, either as an officer, an employee or an agent. This record, as stolen, may be used by the person or persons concerned, to write to the members and officers of the divisions of the organization for their own sinister or other purposes. Divisional officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association receiving letters from organizations or other movements or individuals, asking them to transfer their allegiance from the U. N. L. A. to thaira, or asking any obligation, will ignore such appeals, and will realize immediately that such communication had its origin in the desire of the organization, movement or individual to undermine the solidarity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You have joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the realization of an object. You should support it for that object, and not allow others who may be more self-seekers to confuse you by distributing your meagre finance in supporting everything, and weakening all, when you could have supported one good thing and make it succeed.

MARCUS GARVEY, President-General run roughhoned in Canada and do as they like and pleasure as in the bouth land It would be pleasant news for Canada to be hands on a few of these malcontents and manufacturers of justice the world over. In Canada such a high handed criminality would receive swift justice which is much needed to check the荒野 for law as manifested in the words of Aber nothy and his cohorts The correspondence in the case of the fugitive slave Anderson covers sixty folio pages in which some of the leading lights of the legal fraternity and others took a prominent part such as Lord Justice Russell Mr Hammond Sir K Rogers Lord Lyons the Duke of Newcastle and Lieut Gen Sir W Williams Justice McLennan judgment in part says in keeping with the famous Somerset case. Even when slavery was tolerated in some of the British possessions, no person could be brought into England without becoming free the moment he touched the soil. In the adjoining republic the eyes and the curse of slavery are every day becoming more manifest and even now threaten to lead to a dissolution of the federal compact of the United States, under which the several States have enjoyed an unexamined degree of prosperity. The Declaration of Independence of the present United States proclaimed to the world that all men are born equal and possess certain inalienable rights amongst which are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but the first of these is the only one accorded to the unfortunate slaves the others of these inalienable rights are denied because the white population have found them selfs strong enough to deprive the blacks of them. A love of society is inherent in the human breast, whatever may be the complexion of the skin. 'Its taste is grateful and ever will be so still nature herself shall change,' and in administering the laws of a British province, I never can feel bound to recognize as law any enactment which can convey into chattails a very large number of the human race. Chief Justice Draper said, 'I am reluctant, on the other hand, to admit that Great Britain has entered into treaty obligations to surrender a fugitive slave who, as his sole means of obtaining liberty, has shed the blood of the merciless taskmaster who held him in bondage.' Justice Hagerty was no less strong in his judgment, for he said: "The doctrine that we must accept every foreign law be it right or wrong, natural or unnatural, in our eyes, can readily be pushed to extraordinary results, as, for example, if it be declared murder for the slave to slay her ravisher in defense of chastity, or resist to the death a corporal punishment dangerous to life or limb. This is also intelligible in statement but would be revolting and unbearable in practical result." "The judgment of the court is that the prisoner be discharged." Thus ended the chapter in Anderson, and we trust the Bullock case will be a shining example for some of these modern upstarts who believe they can trespass on a foreign land with impunity and without danger. Let us bless the fairness of Canadian justice. MICHIGAN HIGH COMMISSIONER STORMS ANNARBOR ANNARBOR. Mich. April 10—High Commissioner N. A.
