LIBERIA GETS LOAN OF FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FROM AMERICA VOL. XII. No. 14 LIBERIA GET MILLION D Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: It is with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction that we learn of the passage of the bill in the United States Congress authorizing the Government to loan the Black Republic of Liberia five million dollars for her internal development. This loan comes at a time when Liberia is in sore need of general assistance, the kind that will help her to develop her resources and improve herself as an independent national unit. Capitalist Greed The avaricious and greedy white nations of Europe have been trying for quite a while to rob Liberia of her autonomy. Under the guise of friendship they have been trying to get her so obligated as to ultimately deprive her of her liberty. The thing looked dangerous, and some of us thought that the only hope of the Negro for national freedom on the Continent of Africa was about to pass away, through the guile of a superior white statesmanship in Europe, as against the narrow-mindedness of some of those who have tried to guide the destiny of the Black Republic. America to the Front But through a stroke of good luck or diplomacy, those who have been true to the history and traditions of the Republic, when they found out that assistance was needed, immediately sought that assistance, not from the ravenous white nations of Europe, but from philanthropic and liberal-minded America, whose honesty of purpose in international politics should be better trusted than any other nation's. America has come to the rescue in loaning Liberia five million dollars so as to put her house in order, thereby making a new start toward the goal of national security. Some of us calculated that America would loan this money only for the purpose of exploiting and ultimately subverting the wealth and liberties of the Black Republic; but the thoughtful of us refused to believe that this could be the real motive for America loan- ing this amount of money. Even if it were, in that the amount is only five million dollars, and since that would be the cause of the obligation, it would become the duty of every Negro in the world, under proper organization, such as the Universal Negro Improvement Association is about to give, to raise this amount of money and help Liberia to repay the loan in as short a time as possible. For the time being, through dis- organization, the Negro is unable to do anything for himself, and that is why Liberia has gone a begging for the last two years for the paltry amount of five million dollars. The Value of Organization The Negro never appreciated the value of organization, but every intelligent student of human affairs knows that organization is the motive power that controls the activities of the world. Without organization we can do nothing; hence, we were unable to assist Liberia, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Abyssinia, or any other NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1922 NEGROES OF THE WORLD MUST ORGANIZE TO REPAY LOAN IN SHORT TIME TO MAKE BLACK REPUBLIC FREE NEGROES OF THE WORLD MUST ORGANIZE TO REPAY LOAN IN SHORT TIME TO MAKE BLACK REPUBLIC FREE RACE NEEDS BROAD STATESMANSHIP BIG PROBLEMS TO BE DISCUSSED AT FORTH- COMING CONVENTION Negro country in their struggle for national existence. But the Universal Negro Improvement Association has come upon the scene with a program of world organization among Negroes, and we say that it is our duty to assist these black nations to develop and become strong and recognized powers among the governments of the world. And why not concentrate upon the building up of Liberia as a great nation in Africa? Why cannot Liberia become as impregnable in Africa as England is in Europe? The Universal Negro Improvement Association sees absolutely nothing impossible about the matter, if four hundred million Negroes will get together with their educational, financial and industrial resources, and concentrate upon the building up of the great republic. We can see in another five or ten years a powerful black nation rising up on the West Coast, a nation that will lend assistance and protection to Negroes not only within her own confines, but Negroes everywhere. It becomes the duty of the American Negro, as well as the West Indian and Central American Negroes, to do the best they can at this time to help Liberia develop herself. But you will say, how can we help Liberia when Liberia is controlled by a large number of narrow-minded men who will not admit into the country new blood that will help them to build the nation? Yes, this might have been the cause of Liberia's stagnation in the past, but can we afford to allow Liberia to continue in that way? Liberia is not only belonging to those who were born there, within recent times, but Liberia, like any other part of Africa, is belonging to the black man. Liberia was founded over one hundred years ago for the purpose of helping the refugee slave and the exiled African to re-establish a foothold in his native land; therefore, no Liberian, neither at home nor abroad, has any moral or other right preventing Negroes to return to their home to do the best they can for its development. On the Upward Path We are expecting to see in another short while the broader kind of statesmanship in Liberia, the statesmanship that will concentrate upon the building up of the nation, and not keeping Liberia in the hands of a few to have her stagnate and ultimately to lose her national liberty.

TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES third rate nations, even as there is no room in the world for fifth, fourth or third rate people. We are living in a progressive age, an age of rapid changes, and only those peoples and nations that are able to rise with the tide of progress can hold their own in modern human affairs. It becomes, therefore, the duty of Negroes everywhere to assist Liberia in developing herself. The trouble with us Negroes is that we are jealous of each other and the one man thinks that if the other fellow can help and the community is to be benefited thereby that he is going to get too much appreciation and credit, and, therefore, "I will not help him; I will not encourage the idea that he does something for the good of the community!" That has been the attitude and feeling of Negroes toward each other all the time. So long as we feel that way the great white man will kick us around like a football, so long will other races of the world look down upon us as a race of inferiors, incapables, as a race of slaves. We are going to help Liberja, and not only Liberia, but Haiti, Santo Domingo, Abysmim, and all other independent Negro countries, to rise to a higher, more promising. We desire to have first rate Negro governments, just as we have first rate white governments in Europe, in America, so should we have first rate Negro governments in Africa and the West Indies. The Universal Negro Improvement Association throws out, therefore, the opportunity to every Negro to fall in line and help us put over this big program, the program of an emancipated race, and a liberated country. The Biggest Event of the Year We are looking forward to the Third International Convention that will open in New York on the 1st of August and continue for 31 days and 31 nights to bring us great results. As our delegates come from every known part of Africa, the West Indies, South and Central America, Asia, Europe and the 48 States of the American Union, we feel that they will bring to us a new message, a new hope. We shall at this convention tackle all the important and serious questions of the day that do affect us, and among the things that we hope to discuss and settle once and for all is the future attitude of the race toward racial nationalism. Let Negroes everywhere prepare to lend whatsoever assistance they can to this great movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

Divisions an annual organization for the success of HAITI-SANTO DOMINGO SOCIETY RAPS LANSING FOR OCCUPATION DEFENSE STATEMENT "Secretary Lansing's Statement Fails to Give Any Reason Which Justifies the Violation of Our Treaty Obligations to Haiti" WASHINGTON D.C. May 8 The statement issued May 4 by ex Secretary Lansing in explanation of the violation and occupation of Haiti and Santo Domingo in 1925 under the treaty is just such a defense as one would expect from the Prime Minister of Japan in explanation of the twenty-one demands made upon China and the treaties growing out of them according to a statement by the Executive Committee of the Haiti-Santo Domingo independence Sect. To attempt of ex Secretary Lansing to justify the forcible commercial exploitation of Haiti and the doctrine of military necessity on the part of the United States, which formed the two dominating ideas which animated the United States Government in forcing the Haitian people through military and financial cooperation to agree to the treaty of September 16, 1916, is an explanation which the American people will repudiate with indignation just as they repudiated identical excuses offered by Germany for its invasion of Belgium and by Japan for its seizure of Shantung. Ex-Secretary Lansing ignores the fundamental outrage of the whole occupation—that is, that in forcing upon the "innocent and down-trodden people of Haiti the prosperity and economic and industrial development to which every people of an American nation are entitled" the armed forces of the United States, compelled the Haitian people by absolutely illegal means, and under military pressure to adopt a constitution (written according to his own boast by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt) who alienated the soil of Haiti to foreigners. The immediate result of this beneficent act was the acquisition for a few cents an acre, of hundreds of thousands of acres of the richest cotton and sugar lands of Haiti by American investors. These lands, according to the testimony of Mr. McIlhenny the American financial advisor to Haiti were worth up to $400 an acre. He said they were "no rich that they would bear transportation to the United States to be used as a fertilizer on the lands of Virginia and Maryland." Experts from the United States Department of Agriculture have reported that this land, which the American occupation forces the helpless Haitian Government to alienate to foreign investors, ranks with the richest land known to the world. The entire force of the occupation has since been concentrated on securing these lands for the use of American investors, and for their development and exploitation, at the expense of the Haitian people, so that these investors, to quote Richard E. Forrest, the head of the United West Indies Trading Corporation, might reap "large and quick profits." Secretary Lansing's concern for the economic and industrial development of the Haitian people was expressed a little more bluntly by Mr. Forrest, vice-president and general manager in Haiti, who said, with engaging frankness, "There has been a lot of bunk about helping the Haitians, but I am not here to help the Haitians. I am here to make money out of Haiti for myself and my friends. I am an expert in discovering new territories for development and in developing them for banks. It is true that in helping myself I have helped some Haitians, but I have helped them incidentally and for purely calfish reasons." It is interesting to note that Mr. Lensing nowhere states, as many defenders of the invasion have stated, that Haiti was in danger of European invasion because of her failure to meet interest on her foreign debt. Apparently, this excuse has been definitely eliminated by the categorical statement of Mr. McIlhehny before the Senate Committee on May 16, 1922, that the interest on the three foreign loans of Haiti had been paid in full by the Haitian Government prior to the occupation, and that the principal on these debts was not due for many years to come. Secretary Lansing's statement fails to give any reason which justifies the violation of our treaty obligations to Haiti, our own accepted interpretation of the Morocco Doctrine, or the principles of international law formulated by the twenty-one sovereign States of the Western Hemisphere, all of which were violated in the invasion and occupation of Haiti and Santo Domingo. It is of further interest to note that the Senate Committee has refused to put upon the witness stand, for direct testimony and for cross examination, anSecretary Lansing, Colby and Daniel, who were directly responsible for the invasion and occupation of these two friendly nations, and Brigadier-General Russell, the present high commissioner in Haiti, under whom, as commander of the forces of occupation, the most indebtable violations of the sovereignty of Haiti were carried out, although their appearance as witnesses has been damned since August 8, 1821, by the counsel for the Haitian people and for these American groups who sympathize with their position. 12TH ST.

From the Hand comes the story of a former Toronto woman who was an eyewitness of the Red revolution in and around Johannesburg. Ms. Nellie Macdonald, who writes to friends in Toronto, describes scenes which might be enacted in West Toronto or Riverdale if the local Reds had their way. The clippings Mrs. Macdonald sends contain "Casualty List No. 3" giving the names of six killed two missing and forty nine wounded. They might be the names of Canadians if the city Red propaganda regarded as indulgently in some quarters here its natural fruit Cared for Refugees Mrs Macdonald left Toronto for South Africa last year and her home was directly opposite the Show Grounds, in which more than 7,000 refugees from Fordsburg found shelter. With other women of the city she assisted in caring for the women and children who had to leave their homes on very short notice taking what clothing they could but with very little food. By Frida) March 10 the disturbances which had followed the calling of a general strike had become so serious, and the natives were so embittered by the attacks being made on them by the strikers, that martial law had to be proclaimed in Johannesburg and from that time until the storming of Fordburg on the following Monday. The Rand was the scene of constant sniping at the troops and police and of atrocities committed by the Red-who drove the well-affected from their homes, threatened any who offered to assist their victims with contign punishment and murdered mine officials and blacks. The Gentle Reds "Bands of women, reads the letter after the general strike had been called, paraded through the streets with flags calling for a White South Africa." Your blood would run cold if you could hear of some of the atrocities committed against men going to work in the mines. Their homes having been burned, their wives and children turned out on the voidt. and neighbors threatened with the same punishment or worse if they rendered them any assistance. It has been with the greatest difficulty that the mine managers have restrained the Kaffira, for they have suffered much at the hands of the Hooligans, and would have been only too ready to retaliate, had they been armed only with sticks to oppose the armed Reds. On March 16 we watched from Observation Hill the attack on Fordsburg. The big guns boomed over the rebel positions for an hour, with an airplane directing the fire, and then it was all over as far as that part of the revolution was concerned." Warning by Aeropiano Early in the morning an aeroplane had appeared over Fordsburg and showed down thousands of leaflets warning the well-affected to leave the town and go to the Fair Grounds by a route which was prescribed for them. At once they began their hegira, mostly on foot, parents leading or carrying their children, the latter burdened with dolls, kittens and other pets they would not leave behind. Eleven o'clock had been named as the "zero" hour, and immediately after the firing of a gun the assault began. At 12:10 Fordsburg had fallen and the Red flag had been hauled down from the Trade Hall. How Revolution Came The clippings tell how, after various strikes, the citizens of the Rand thought that the worst had been passed. Power stations had resumed work, the streets were lighted and various vehicles had replaced the idle tramswaver. Then a general strike was declared. "The militants" says a newspaper source, "tainted control of the strike forces. They used the commande system for their own purpose. They employed it to curreate all workers into the strike.

Mr. Tikkiham has for a long time been assailing the Southern States on the ground that the Negro was not been allowed to vote last year he was denied without sufficiency through a bill setting down the Southern House. The bill which he will introduce to morals will specify that the schedulers of the propose cases shall include for each inhabitant of the same place of abode, a relation to head of family, sex, or race, whether under or over 40 years of age and if at least of age or older whether or not the right to vote was exercised at the last presidential election and if not the reason why it was not so excused and that the statutes shall be tabulated by States, counties, cities and other minor civil divisions. "My bill, said Mr Tinkham tonight, provides an addition to the regular schedules that schedules shall be established which will allow the Census Committee which formulates the new apportionment bill to have the best evidence obtainable upon which to base the enforcement of the mandatory Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution which directs that Congress shall reduce representation in the several States in proportion to the disfranchisement that may exist in them. "Under present conditions, with Federal representation based upon population and with the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution unenforced, comes tremendously disproportionate representation in the Federal Congress, destroying the equality of the several States as well as the franchise equality of all the citizens of the United States.

NEGRO ILLITERACY, NORTH AND SOUTH Reduced Twenty Per Cent. During Last Decade WASHINGTON D.C. May 15 (Special) The public schools of the South are making progress in eliminating illiteracy among the Negroes. The 1920 census showed about 200,000 fewer colored illiterates than that of 1910. In 1910 the percentage of colored illiteracy in the South was 33.3. In 1920 it had increased to 63. This leaves 1,550,000 Negroes who cannot write. Georgia has the greatest number of these illiterates 261115 a percentage of 29.1 Louisiana, with 206720 had the highest percentage of illiteracy, 28.5. Other States which still have great masses of colored illiterates are Alabama, with 210600, or 313 per cent. Mississippi, with 206,818, or 29.3 per cent, and South Carolina, with 131,422, or 29.3 per cent. Every Southern State showed a marked reduction in illiteracy between 1910 and 1920. Every Northern States also showed a decrease. This would indicate that the Negroes migrating were mostly able to read, otherwise they would have increased illiteracy in the North. The percentage of illiteracy among Northern Negroes is much less than among Southern Negroes, being 26 per cent in the South and 8 per cent. in the North. Every Southern State also shows a marked increase in the proportion of agro children in school. For the South as a whole slightly over half of the Negro children are reported in school while I the North slightly over 60 per cent are in school LITERARY CLUB WINS DEBATE MONTREAL. Can May 13.

Hence you will find the Negro in this part of the world, owing to alien education, despises his motherland Africa, despises his race despises himself and is looking unto the other fellow—the destroyer of the darker races, the hair the Negrophobe—as 'land and massa'. How unfortunate how regrettable! The truth shall make you free "Seek and you shall find Negroes I appeal to you, therefore, to purify your brains, take the scales from off your eyes, seek the truth and be free. Let us come to facts and fiction. Despite all the lies handed down to us by white propaganda, what have we heard and seen? What have we found out? Something quite contrary to alien education, Africa, the land of jungle and forest is attracting world-wide attention. The eyes of the great powers are looking towards Africa. The Englishman leaves his "merrie England, the Frenchman leaves his la belle France and even the American leaves his land of the free and home of the brave sweet land of liberty, and they are only too glad to hasten away to Africa to breathe her pure air and enjoy her riches. Once they reach there they easily find their way out in the jungle and forest Africa is no longer unfit for habitation and the savage inhuman cannibal is harmless.

He, the native African must be his own "lord and master." In Morocco he gave the Spaniard a severe beating and asked the question, If Spain is for the Spaniards, why not Morocco for the Moors?" The native African is proving to the world that he is not inferior to the Caucasian Again, if we seek the truth, we will find out that whereas the Caucasian has produced a Cromwell, Nelson, Wallington, Napoleon, Lincoln, Shakepeare, Longfellow, Lloyd George, Harding Wells and Clemenceau, the Negro has produced a Solomon, Hannibal, L'Cverture, Cudjoe, Douglass, Dumas, Pushkin, Dunbar Garvey, Hayford, Perris, Eason, Bruce and Marry-shew. Heretofore we had been made to understand that it was only the Caucasian who had produced great men! Lloyd George leads the white Brushier. Harding the white American Clemenceau the white Frenchman but Garvey leads the American Negro the 'French' Negro, the Spanish Negro—Marcus Garvey, the Negro Moses, the leader of leaders, is the recognized leader of the Universal Negro, and in the person of Garvey the Negro race has produced the greatest leader of the age. Call him a dreamer or a madman, call him what you like but Marcus Garvey is making the white world feel uneasy. He is the most talked-of man in the world today.

The convention closed with the awarding of trophies for attendance in part Dr Darling said. "Thy God hath commanded thy strength What for?" To replenish the world. What is the matter with the world?

Mr. Young termed the followers of Garvey extreme Garveyites. Were the Irish extremists? Are the Scotch extremists? Were the English who fought to get rid of their Roman rulers, extremists? Then if it is right for the white folk to be extremists why should it not be right for the black folk? Have the white men ever awakened to a sense of perfect social brotherhood? The colored men who after having fought for king and country" were told that England was not their country and their head cut off and kicked about the streets of England as a football sometime in 1010 was it no idle boast when such men declared proudly that they were Englishmen *African and Englishman at the same time*.

"In the year 1915 the Methodist church alone baptised 40,000. "In the year 1917 150,000 were refused baptism for lack of Christian leaders. In the year 1918 the church baptised 2,000 a week.

FENNER The value of a phrase or expression apart from its own intrinsic import is sometimes unchanged, modified, or even altered when account is taken psycho-logically of the occasion and the condition under which it was made or the person to whom and by whom it is made. In our churches heavily mortgaged if not entirely enveloped in the moneyed interests we often see with what interest and culture, am the ecclesiastics have their people using the hymn. Work for the Night is coming and hymns of similar thought. The hymn has in no theory to recommend it no ethics no element of soul aspiration of course its music is lively and energetic are charged with stern determinative. It is exceptionally good propagand material music as well as phraseology. for rich idiom who live and feast upon the work of the working class. It is amusing if not really tragic to see how folk ordinarily of good judgment and keen intellect can be easily made the dupes of a studied scheme whereby their minds are made to remain unconsciously active. It is difficult to clear away the disillusionment even after the mask has been torn away. Lacoon one of Vergile heroes gave classic expression to the thought when he declared his suspicion for the Greeks even though they came hearing gifts in their hands. It is in this light that are examination of the documents which furnish us our intellectual pabulum needs to be made. Mill Bentham and the older economists failed to work out a science of economics because of their ethical predispositions. In economics the element of the ought has no place at all, unless science proper is to give way to airy moralizations. What was true of the older economists is true in the opposite sense of the majority of the present-day teachers of economics. Paid to teach a certain brand of economics, watched by the strict censorship of the president, trustees and officials of the institution who are all creatures of the current system, the teachers of economics are driven to the point of emasculating their science at the expense of academic freedom and regard for the truth. The writer knows a clergyman who pastors a very wealthy congregation. His thoughts are not the thoughts of his flock nor would his ways be theirs if he would himself. But he says that he holds his post because he lets them believe that they are directing his thinking. If I let them know that I am not of the sort to be led, says he. "If would have the 'skids put under me in quick time. What is true of this clerical self is true of more than half the teachers of economics in our schools and universities. The men are teaching that which they do not believe and writing that which is not the product of their own thinking. The economics of the older school was honest if it was scientific the economics of the present day is positively dishonest and partisan, and to that extent uncientific. In this field, as in other fields, one or two men usually stand out as true teachers of the science unbound and unpurchasable—men who are lawyers of the science for its own sake. In philosophy we have Aristotle and Spinosa. In theology we have Origen and Moberly in poetry we have Dante and Goethe in literature we have Wilde and Santayana. in medicine Pasteur and Tyndall in history Gibbons and Hart in biology Huxley and Coulter. and in economics we have Maria and Leslie Ward. That these men lived and gave to Roman imperialism did not overthrow Christianity when it threw Christians into the lions' den, neither did Ecclesiasticalism stamp out the new science when it subjected scientists to the rack and the thumbscrew. Under torture poor old Galileo consented to recant, but the earth moved on. In England, although Sir Thomas Moore went to the block, Liberty and Justice go marching on. You cannot overcome Christian Endeavor societies of the State was the keynote of the address of Rev Frank L. Freet. State secretary, Columbus, on "Christian Endeavor, Four Square," before the convention Saturday evening. "Never before in the fourteen years I have been State secretary have I seen anything like the growth of the Christian Endowment in Ohio since August, the beginning of the fiscal year," he said. Over seventeen new societies have been organized in this State alone. Rev. Dr. A. B. Meldrum, in his address on "Our Pledge," emphasized the futility of backing out after a pledge has been taken. "We must live up to our pledge at all times, even though we consistently disagree with them," he said. The Welsh Presbyterian Church choir sang. the world living examples of the science time it is an occasion to us all to take heart in the midst of a world ridden by philistines quacka, crooks in science in art and in life. Jesus Christ was not an economist but he has given to the world in splendour by influence and by analogy more than one gem which it would do any serious economist well to ponder and to bring to the fore. Gandhi claimed a saint by millions of his followers is a man of some training and intelligence but in one would call him an economist and yet his program of non-cooperation regarded by many as a negative thing a matter of method merely is proving to be the economic quandary of the cotton barons of Manchester and Liverpool and the industrial liberation of the Indian proletariat. On our occasion Jesus gave utterance to a statement around which we think healthy economics may be constructed. The dramatic setting for the utterance in this instance is of some significance. The man was hungry, worn and emaciated by a long period of mental and spiritual strain and in his condition when the natural craving for food would be expected to occur, the center of the stream of his psychosis. He gave to His challenger this significant announcement. Man shall not live by bread alone. The sentiment might have been uttered by other men before Him but coming from His lips at that given point in His life it has gained a richness and a significance which, till then, it did not have. Jesus gave to the dead statement the vibrancy of life, and it has lived ever since to guide and direct men of thou and intelligence. Man shall not live by bread alone." Mark you He does not say. Man shall not live by bread." He allows the need of bread. He does not even deny the priority of its claims. Paul said that was not first which was spiritual but that which was natural. And all life reveals the same thing. Bodily sustenance holds prior claim from the crude to the grave. As is instinct to reason, intuition to intelligence, the internal meaning to the external expression, so are bodily claims to the spirit and its claims according to the very scheme of things in the realm of nature. But Jesus does say, with an emphasis enhanced by the entire attitude that man shall not live by bread ALONE. One of England's poets says Ah Freedom, its a noble thing. It makes a man to have liking Freedom all solace to man gives He lives at ease that freely lives. If Freedom fails— For Freedom stands above all else. That man demands Freedom of mind and spirit may grow out of economic acillity, or it may not. If it does, well. But the writer knows of more instances than one where economic security did not bring freedom of spirit. You recall the woman in court who, in answer to the judge who had showed her how generous her husband had been to her supplying lavishly all her needs, said, "True judge but diamonds are no good when hearts are trumps." With every normal external means of comfort and contentment the writer walked out of a lucrative living because that authority which made the living possible also tried to cripple and cramp his initiative and decaden his spirit. We would even venture to make the assertion that a man could more easily 'put up with physical servitude than with spiritual servitude. In America today the Negros com- ideas with ae or bullet, fire or rock You can deport men, but not idae without trial. John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave, but his soul goes marching on. A blind and selfish hierarchy crucified Jesus: God has highly exalted Him, giving Him a name that is above every name. As Jesus was given His idea from God, teaching the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, so has God given Marcus Garvey the idea of uniting and moulding the race of blacks into solidarity and love for one another. His enemies have sought to nail him to the cross, but even so his idea will live forever. Man's puny hand could no more obliterate such ideas as those by nailing the proponent of them to a cross than it could obliterate the light of the sun. There are names the very mention of which inspires us—names such as Toussaint L'Ouverture, Phyllis Whealey, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Frederick Douglas, Coleridge-Taylor, Booker T. Washington and many others. When you try to analyze the singular power such names exercise, some of them after the lapse of centuries, you discover that they belong to men and women to whom it was given not only to live heroe, unselfish, lives, but to die heroe, sacrificial death, "Faithful unto death." In the very words there is power. Of such men is Marcus Garvey. LINCOLN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY SENDS OUT VERY STRONG CLASS LISTEN!

You may try as you will to convince the white worker that the interest of the colored worker and his own are identical, but you can't convince him that there is identity of social and spiritual interests. His stream of instruction and information as well as his interior regard are ooledon from the fountain. The press, which is against him economically is, nevertheless, his major source of the thought life upon which he feeds. And it is the press that keeps constant before him the thought of his "apartness" from the Negro in both instances he is the object of careful misinformation. He is duped, but knows it not in fact he does not care to know otherwise. A chase in the economic order may take place which would radically improve the condition of the masses regardless of race. That is within the bounds of probability. But a change in the social order: a change in the customs and reactions of different race groups, is not only improbable. It is impossible that is a change that would remove from their minds the thought of difference. White is white and black is black and never the twain will merge. It is because that is the conviction of virtually the entire human family that the Universal Negro Improvement Association makes so strong an appeal to Negroes. "Man shall not live by bread alone." And all the bread in America could not actify the life's writings of Negroes in America so long as they remain numerically in the minority and subject to the unwritten laws and customs sanctioned by the prejudices of the majority of another race knows through out their history for their arrogance, their sense of superiority and the utter abobbliness. Mighty nearly every Negro in the world is a believer in the doctrines of Martha Garvey whether they have ever heard of Garvey or not. And those who are not if such there really beat heart are such because some power external to themselves has been tampering with them. I H.

May 10.—Jack Dempsey heavyweight champion of the world, will defend his title against Harry Wills, the Negro heavyweight champion, in the baseball park here on July 1. All that remains to insure the meeting is for Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, to sign the formal articles of agreement. The bout it is understood, will be promoted by the Montreal Chamber of Commerce and the Montreal Press Club, and assurance has been given that no interference will come from the authorities. July 1 here is Dominion Day, which corresponds to Independence Day, or July 4. in the United States. The date falls on Saturday, and it is anticipated that 100,000 people can see the bout, as temporary stands will be created in the baseball park. It is understood that Frank Flournoy, matchmaker of the Garden Athletic Club in New York, is interested, among others, in the bout. No limit is placed on the price of tickets here, whereas in New Jersey under the new law seats are limited to $15 as a maximum. Assurances also have been given that no objection will be raised to the mixed bout. Harry Wills long has been considered the logical challenger for Dempsey's heavyweight title. He has size, reach, poundage and boxing skill in his favor, to say nothing of plenty of experience. The amount of the purse has not been divulged, but it is understood that Dempsey is guaranteed $800,000, with the privilege of a percentage on the gross receipts, which are likely to reach $1,800,000 or more.

RACE EXTINCTION "Look at this: In 1790 there were, say 300,000 slaves, soon they make their first doubling and are 600,000, then their second, 1,200,000, then their third, 2,400,000. They are now in the process of doubling the fourth time and will soon be 4,800,000; then comes the fifth double, 9,600,000, then the sixth, 19,200,000. Before the year of our Lord 1900 there will be 20,000,000 slaves. "An Anglo-Saxon with common sense does not like this Africanization of America; he wishes the superior race to multiply rather than the inferior." (Extract from letter of Theodore Parker to Francis Jackson, 15 sq. Boston Rome, November 24, 1859)—From Echoes from Harper's Ferry, page 83.) WE wonder how many of the so-called far-seeing members of the Negro and "Colored" "intelligensia" realize that our race is just now a victim of the most subtle and far-reaching conspiracy ever concocted by one race against another and that it is being lulled to sleep by the cozenly words and fair promises of the conspirators who are confronted by a condition that they never expected would assume such proportions. The Lirmingham, (Ala.) speech of President Harding is the basis upon which the conspiracy largely rests. The Negro in America is (1) to be politically eliminated; (2) industrially circumscribed; (3) economically depressed, repressed and suppressed when it can be done without causing too much attention and comment; (4); discouraged and prevented from rising on his merits to the same social, political and economic heights attained by other individuals or groups of races alien to him. The reasons for this conspiracy are (1) the phenomenal progress of the Negro educationally; (2) his insistence upon the right to be counted and considered a MAN and the equal of every other man; (3) his material advancement despite his handicaps; (4) his persistent and aggressive demands since the World War for equality of opportunity Not every white in America is opposed to the Negroes' program for lifting themselves up to the level of their race economically, in industrially, politically and socially (in the broad sense). But those who are against us are more numerous than those who are for us "Tis true 'tis pity, and pity 'tis, 'tis true." The fear of successful rivalry is the microbe that is biting the white man who now is opposed to the "square deal for the Negro"—a white man's chance. The activities of interracial organizations to bring about a more harmonious condition between the races only serves to increase and intensify the opposition of the silent-active majority to a racial merger. The average white man, North, East, West and South, regards America as the heritage of himself and his posterity as set forth above, and he is determined to be a World by himself and disdain a division! When the Negro comes to himself and brushes away the cobwebs which now obscures his vision he will see the handwriting on the wall and will possibly be able to interpret the message it conveys, viz.: that the destiny of the white man and that of the Negro are not coordinate and cannot be made so, either by argument or legislation. How many Negroes know that over 600,000 Negro babies die annually from malnutrition and from the economic pressure brought to bear upon their parents which react upon their offspring, resulting in this enormous and alarming infantile mortality? At the present rate of progressive economic pressure the Negro in the U. S. A. is likely to become extinct a few hundred years hence. In addition to this there is a rumor abroad that certain unprincipled white physicians are availing themselves of every opportunity when colored women suffer from any internal ailment to see when she is operated on that her productivity ceases PROF. BRAWLEY AND OTHER NEGRO CRITICS PROF. BENJAMIN BRAWLEY is now included in the "Big Four." He, Braithwaite, Johnson and DuBois are regarded as the four Afro-American critics. Rev Anson Phelps Stokes, the philanthropist, mentioned the critical work of Prof Brawley in a Hampton address. Mr. H. L. Panghorn in his "Uncle Tom Seventy Years After," an article which appeared in the Sunday New York Herald four weeks ago, speaks of the "valuable critical work of Brawley, Braithwaite, Washington, Moton, Johnson and especially DuBois." It causes one to smile to read of the valuable "critical work" of Washington and Moton, who have shown organizing ability, but were men of limited training and education. This, however, en Prof. Brawley has written "A Short History of the American Negro." "The Negro in Literature and Art" and "A Social History of the American Negro." We have never had the opportunity to read these books, as none of our friends seem to possess one. But we glanced through them in a library last week. fair and just. But he seems to lack originality and critical acumen. One who desires a surface knowledge of Negro literature and Negro life will learn much from Prof Brawley's three books. But the reader who desires psychological insight into various Negro movements will have to look elsewhere. We regard Prof Brawley's work as scholarly but we do not see how it can be called critical unless it be that the Cincasians who select Negro leaders have selected him because he is conservative, will never break the traces and will never take the bit in his teeth and run away. Regarding the other critics we will say that Branthwaite is an appreciator rather than critic of poetry, and that James Weldon Johnson in his splendid anthology of Negro poetry does not seem to rank Morgetson's "The Fledgling Bard" among great Negro poems. He quotes from the poem and tells who Morgetson is. But he does not quote from the finest passages and does not comment upon that poem as he does lesser poems. But then we must remember that Morgetson is a bold, frank and fearless thinker. He possesses originality. And that is an animal that the Caucasian godfathers of the Negro are afraid of. To win their approval a Negro must think along certain prescribed and proscribed views. Now for the fourth critic Dr DuBois is a scholar a gentleman a prose poet, who possesses an imminable charm of style. He can be rightly regarded as a man of letters. But we do not quite see how he can be justly regarded as a great critic. All of these four gentlemen are scholarly and cultured. But we are not absolutely sure whether they possess that philosophical nuisance which entitles one to the rank of critic. AMERICA IN ST. CROIX It is clear that Mr. Stribling is out to uphold the teach of American imperialism. It is annoying to him to observe the predominance of black authority in the West Indies. St. Croix ought to be Haitianized. In his attitudes in the evening Post he shows a distinct prejudice against the black labor legislators led by D. Hamilton Jack on St. Croix is one of the Virgin Islands which was recently taken over by this country. A novel base for the protection of the Panama Canal. The author of Birthright in a very skillful way shows how the Danish capital at the dockstool are conspiring to unilize the black cane bands and so cut the throats of the unorganized planters. All sorts of things are expected to make it uncomfortable for the crackers. Clearly a terrestrial intermarriage, Garveyism. Or Garveyism in St. Croix. Mr. Stribling devotes a good sized paragraph. He says "In the meantime a complete's new African toce is approaching St Croix. It has already reached St Thomas. This is Garveyism. The complete name of Garvey's organization is 'The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League.' Its headquarters is in New York. Its avowed and widely known object is to seize Africa for the Africans. The spirit of the organization is strongly anti white and has a semi religious tervor. The writer interviewed the leader of the African Communities League in St Thom s. He was a Negro tailor a smallish chocolate baker man with a flattened nose. He talked for two hours with the purpose of a zealot about the absolute economic independence of the black man. The slightest dependence upon white men is gall to the Garveyite. Therefore, when the African Communities League enters St Croix it will form a strong new anti 'Bethlehem' force, and this will tend to cards a black absorption of the sland." Yes, the handful of "buckras" are in a sorry plight. And Mr. Stribling, boiling over with rage, crises out to Harding to study the record of his predecessor in Haiti and Santo Domingo, and send an army of marines to keep the Niggers in their Place. It is a good thing to know that Mr. Stribling is living his cards in the table. Artist that he is his anti Negro company has prevented him from dealing with the Negro in an objective and dispassionate way. But neither Mr. Stribling or his lynchers on textile goods stop the wave of Negro agitation that is growing in the area, a wave destined to disturb the foundation of the black radicals on top. IS THE U. N. I. A. WORTH WHILE? THE U.N.I.A has been in existence for two months. It has established nearly 800 branches in sections of the world and has entoiled hundreds of the minds of members. Its growth has been miraculous and phenomenal. Three weeks ago we chanced to meet a lawyer who presented a hypercritical school of thought. He admitted that it had set a case in organizing and marshalling Negroes that would be difficult to follow. But he questioned whether the U.N.I.A did anything more than permit on Sunday nights in different parts of the world Negroes to blow off gas and stir the emotions of cheering through. He ordered what practical results mere talk achieved. This prompted the query, "Is the U.N.I.A Worth While?" Mr Herbert L Selgmann, in his article in the New York World on the Garvey movement, also sarcastically says that world's, the spoken and the written, are the means by which Marcus Garvey utores is putting over the African program. Well the rise of Christianity, the Crusades, the Protestant Reformation, the French Revolution the American Revolution, the Anti Slavery Movement the Temperance Movement, the Struggle for Irish Freedom and the Gandhi Movement not to mention the Phillips of Demosthenes and the orations of Cero against Cataline, indicate that talk and words have uttered movements in human history. Then look abroad, and what will come on the New Haven Conn., green you will behold three clauses on Capetown Square. Boston you will behold two churches. When you sto into a barber or rule into a town you will see church spires towering above. Why so many churches? Why so many public schools? Why so many public libraries? These are silent witnesses that what a man thinks what a boy thinks, are regarded as great moment in a man's life and in a boy's life. For what a man thinks moulds his character and determines his conduct. But the U. N. I. A has done something more than provide an outlet for pent-up energy and given philosophers preachers and orators to air their views and exercise their lungs and vocal cords. It has built up organizations and enterprises which give employment to over two hundred men and women in New York city and over two thousand men and women throughout the world. This is something As time rolls on in its course it will open up positions for a greater number. It will be too much to expect that in two or three years the business enterprises which have resulted from the economic and industrial program of the U. N. I. A. should reach the crest of the wave and ride triumphantly on the billows of prosperity. Give the U. N. I. A and its allied corporations time to mature. Give them ten or twelve years. Then and not until then will it be the time to pronounce judgment and render a final decision. The U. N. I. A. is destined to be an educational force in the life of the Negro. It is a fraternal organization, but its industrial program will give the Negro business experience. FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY DUSE MOHAMED ALI It is indeed curious—even uncanny—how one prominent European after another echoes the opinions I have expressed from time to time in this column. A fortnight ago we had Mr. Lloyd George confirming my conclusions about America and her mission in the direction of European economic reconstruction. Lord Leverhulme's statement last week to "The New York World" is a further confirmation of my statements in these pages. Now we have the considered opinion of Dean Inge of St Paul's Cathedral, London, who speaking at Cambridge University last week informs us that "I urge has sacrificed her primacy by an insane and suicidal struggle." That England is in a condition of decadence which began with the close of "The Atlantic Stage" and the Victorian era, and that "I the Pacific Stage, which is now beginning must inevitably give primacy to America." But to crown all, an American gentleman by the name of Harrison traveling in the East with his wife, reports to The New York World" that he found India in a condition of destruction, bordering on famine, and that being mistaken for an Englishman, he was, for that reason, received everywhere with open hostility until one of his guides enlightened the people as to his real nationality when the attitude of the people suddenly changed from hostility to a friendliness which was overpowering its intensity and gentleness. I have frequently said that the English name is despised in the East as well as in Africa, and Mr Harrison continues my contentions in a manner marked with emphasis. I am too modest to join that large and ever increasing army of trumpet flowers. I merely mention these facts in passing for the information of those readers who have looked askance at my statements. It would be erroneous to suppose that no notice is being taken of these notes on "Foreign Affairs" in the higher American financial and political circles. The Negro World is more widely read in circles that matter than is known to the humble reader. None of the great American dames nor the weekly periodicals have advocated or insisted upon the intervention of America in Russian and the general European financial ambroglio other than myself. I am therefore pleased to observe that the capitalists of the United States have at long ago decided to take a hand in the game by appointing an influential commission to go to Russia for the purpose of superintending the giving of credits capital and concessions. The conference having failed in its chief essential—that of the loans which Russia and Germany deemed necessary to their economic revival—the entrance of America not only solves the very difficult problem, but also saves the diplomatic face of Mr. Lloyd George—oh, this gentle politician has many faces—enabling him to return to England with a spurious slogan of a similar character to Beaconsfield's "Peace with Honor" humbug which he carried home from the Berlin congress. The American proposal is to give the United States a chance to oil in Russian reconstruction as well as to protect her financial interests in seeking concession. In some respects the American proposals resemble those made by France, but it is quite unlikely that Russia will consent to America's intervention unless Russia is granted a place on the commission. Meanwhile J. P. Morgan, accompanied by George Whitney of the Morgan firm, has sailed for Europe to sit as member of the committee which will advise on a loan to Germany. This committee consists of M. Delacroix, chairman of Belgium, Signor a Amelio of Italy, Sir Robert Kindersley of England, M Sergent of France and Herr Bergmann of Germany. The meetings will be held in Paris, and with such expert advice as J. P. Morgan is in a position to give there is every prospect of an only solution to a problem which has been too long delayed. --- On the 8th instant the representatives of King Leisal of the tralk Mesopotamia, and son of King Hossam of Arabia presented a memorandum to the Genoa conference claiming the independence of Syria and Lebanon and protesting against the French occupation. The Syria delegates maintain that France under the pretext of a mandate is trying to colonize Syria as she has done with Algeria and that the same thing is being done by England in Mesopotamia and Palestine. The memorandum declares that the Syrians are quite capable of governing themselves as they have lived in the past. The spirit of independence among the Arab population is indicated by the constant state of rebellion which obtains thereby compelling France to maintain an army of occupation to the number of 6,000 in the mandated territory. I hold no brief for King Leisal and his Syrians but I am compelled to state that although King Hossam and his son Feisal betrayed their overlord Turkey in 1915 when they joined the Allied cause, they fought most gallantly on behalf of their new friends and deserved better treatment than they have received at the hands of either England or France. I saw a great deal of Feisal whilst he was intriguing in London two years ago. My impression of him is that he is by no means the man for the job. Both France and England, although having no special love for Turkey, regard him in the light of a trator to his religion and country, which prior to the war he had encountered in the Turkish Senate. During the peace negotiations in Paris not only did the Allies hambouzle him but he betrayed his trator in the interests of his own personal ambitions. He returned to Mesopotamia in high indignation and declared himself King of Mesopotamia, ruling for a few short months until France some time out of the country. His subsequent intrigues in his mother's with a second betrayal of sacred trust brought him back to Syria is King of Iraq. His people in Syria are now teaping the whirlwind from the wind he owed in Europe with such diligence. --- So the British Government still pursues its course of revenge and repression in India. Bewados Gandhi, son of Mohandas Gandhi, has been arrested at Allahabad. Pundit-Ramadham, president of the All India Congress Committee, and Chotelal Lashiram, secretary of Indore Congress Committee, have both shared the same fate. It is difficult to understand the mental attitude of the British official in India or elsewhere. He does not see the "writing on the wall," or it he does he misinterprets the meaning. The wholesale arrests of Indian patriots will not stop Indian agitation for independence these methods were unsuccessfully tried in Ireland. If, in 1914 Mr. Asquith had caused the issue of an Order in Council programming the Irish Home Rule Bill—which had not passed the House of Lords, but which was on the Statute Book—to have become law, Ireland would have lovingly supported England in her European war and that unfortunate country would now be at peace in the bare enjoyment of Home Rule Status within the British Empire. As matters stand at present, British political methods, or the lack of them, have set Ireland in a state of turmoil, compelled the granting of a constitution to the Irish which practically amounts to absolute independence, and to arrive at this conditions of affairs rivers of Irish and English blood have needlessly flowed. The identical thing is taking place in India. That country was led to believe that a liberal form of Home Rule would be granted. Mr Montagu did his utmost to meet the views and fulfil British obligations to the Indian people. He was sacrificed to the British bureaucracy. As in Ireland, so with India. Blood will flow. The innocent will perish with the guilty and then British statement will be forced, by circumstances, to give that which might have been gracefully conceded at the psychological moment when giving would have been good and gratitude would have been universally expressed for the gift. In addition, the English are building for themselves a monument of hate throughout the colored world which is likely to endure for all time. It is written Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad, and the statesmen (save the mark) of Britain are suffering from a madness which is hurling the empire of Elizabeth and Victoria to its inevitable destruction. --- BOOKS By ERIC D. WALROND On 1838 street is a tea shop known as "The White Peacock." It is a picturequease tea shop. Its walls are covered with futurist paintings. The rugs, the yellow light, the Japanese lanters, the frankincense—all give it a decidedly Oriental flavor. At night it is filled with musicians and flappers, students and professional people who sit until far into the night 'talking about love and death sculpture and literature, socialism and psychoanalysis, art and Mr. Hoodock Bellis Harlem Green with Village.' At last a rendezvous for the dark skinned intellectual. Like the big megaphone we saw the other day once a customer always a customer. It is worth ultrasonizing. The atmosphere is genuine.

So it seemed an alluring thing to stick a notebook in my hip-pocket and a duffle bag on my back and explore this terra non confirms. I took care not to travel with the notebook in hand. I had no desire to tabulate all the places that a tourist should accomplish in order to say that he had done the thing with a clear conscience, neither did I desire that the natives should feel honor-bound to perjure themselves for advertisement's sake. But if I have journeyed skiphazardly, so super-finally and reported but a part, yet I have not committed Munchhausen there. There was too much true delight too much delicious mishap to require the spine of unveracity BOOK CHAT Two Colored Women With the American Expeditionary Forces. By Adille W. Hunton and Kathryn M. Johnson War stories seem a thing of the past. We no longer read of battles with the thrill of the dogs when they were taking place and the horrors of these times of reconstruction make us revolt from the savagery through which we have passed. But war records are still both interesting and important. We need to know the part the colored man played in the Great War that we may gain knowledge in securing better conditions for him in times of peace. And we also need to have on hand, accessible at any moment the story, as far as we can secure it, of the individual achievements of the race in France. Very much of this information is in the book entitled Two Colored Women With the American Expeditionary Forces. How some of the Negroes came to go to France is told by Mice Johnson in the following one-dote "One man from Texas, upon delivering a company of men to a lieutenant whom he thought to be white, remarked that he had brought him a good bunch of Negroes and had plenty more down there if he wanted them. At first, he said, they took all the men who had just purchased little farms, so that the property would soon return to the original owners, and then they just went out through the country and gathered them up everywhere, so that they could get their full quota without sending their white boys. Of course, he said, the Negroes didn't know any better and just thought they had to come." Thus the war opened for the Negro with quite familiar discrimination. But while this happened one realizes in reading this book that as the draft continued the Negro took a place more nearly like that of the white man. Those who went to France had many of the experiences of white men. The story as told by Mrs. Hunton and Miss Johnson is a wise comingling of the best and the worst. While we learn of the Y M C A huts that practiced discrimination, serving a man if he stood up but refusing to let him sit down or not serving him at all, we also learn of those that practiced no discrimination whatever. Evidently France was much like the United States. And yet it is not like the United States because the French live in it. The tribute to the French that both these writers give is very beautiful. Did it is well for us to read this today, when the French are being put, and to some extent are putting themselves, in an unfortunate position in regard, to the rest of Europe. No people are perfect, but France must have our lasting gratitude for refusing to consider a color line, though it be thrust at her for consideration by unprincipled Americans again and again. BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN the little children animals and their likes to see children playing their children games especially the games the London Bridge is leading down and then like the childhood of a faithful dog it is so obvious where than that of some humans it goes on. What I loved at 11 here I loved a bitter who was half mead and half B eil and I tired I am better than my unfinished being on a shelf except my mind. That was what I name we died him was loyal and Jerry is scorned. He was almost human and if he had have talked I know he would have told me that he took me warmly loved dear old Major and he showed me many ways that the felling was response. No matter at hour of the day or night I came home Major was always at the street corner where I got off the car to meet and greet me with a friend) wag of his tail and a bark of welcome that told the joy he felt at seeing his old pal. One night when I came home somewhat later than usual it was nearly 10 o'clock I saw my trusty) and friend Major at his customised spot on the corner from my seat in the car. He said he get up from my seat to leave the car and with a bound or two he was at the car step barking and trying to jump all over me I patted the old racal on him and we together w seemed to satisfy) him and we together w uped to the dark lane toward my house it was then living at Sunny Slope farm in the suburbs of Yonkers. We had not gone yet) far when a belated white tramp stopped from out of the bushes nearby and asked me for a match. He had no sooner spoken the words when my friend Major jumped on him and would have borne him to the ground if I had not set him by the collar and hold him off. As soon as I did this the tramp took to his heels and made the fastest getaway that I ever saw a tramp make. I had my resolver with me and I fired one shot in the air to attract the mount d officer in duty in that section. When he came galloping down the road and saw Major and myself I explained what had happened in what Major had done and he said he had been looking for a tramp a who had been breaking up a house in the neighborhood and sitting loud pipes. He asked the direction of the tramp went and I did him to the road and Major and Jane lashed out from the barn into the hall and heard him splitting the wall rapidly. Major came back, holding his tail seeming to be satisfied, and the interpreter was no longer with them. Then we both went to the hall where we had a bite to eat. Major slept on a rug made of mud, on this night I had to protest, in crisp bills about 10 of government money. I asked the acting paymaster to take us in the armament of New York to Rome. I paid the weighers and latex employed in the sugar refineries of the Federal and National. I had real Yankees too late to pay the men whose lives I carried and to George W. White then a prominent druggist. You're who allowed me the privilege of using a locked compartment in a safe to keep this money whenever I was late reaching the city was not in town on this day so I took the risk of taking it to my own house where I slept with it under my pillow with my girlfriend Major and knew it was safe. Nothing grieved me more than having to part with this faithful dog when I transferred my residence from Yankees to New York city. I would give almost anything to have him with me now but dogs of his size require plenty of room and air and freedom and these are impossible in a New York apartment. I found him a good master before we said farewell and occasionally I hear him my dear Friend Major and then as doing well on the rm where it him some six years ago. He was a real dog was Major, and I can never forget him as long as I live I like flowers as well as I do little children and dogs. I like the fragrant odor of the honeywinkle and the delicate smell of the moss rose, the odoriferous lilac whose sweet scent ravishes the olfactory organs when the dew is on them in the early morning, waiting to be kissed away by the rising sun, and the beautiful poenies and wild roses that climb to dizzy heights on the trellis work of the veranda and send forth their delightful fragrance whenever the breezes blow All nature is vocal on a farm in the early morning hours in praise of the Gliver of all good, and the good things in the world are innocent little children, faithful dogs and lovely and beautiful flowers. Without these the world would indeed be a dull place in which to live. Without the prattle of little children and the devotion of a good dog and the fragrance of flowers life would hardly be worth the living. SOUTHERN METHOD I have often told this story, and it will bear repeating here, to illustrate how unaware it is for any Negro in the South to be in a neighborhood where a crime has been committed. The guilt of the three Negroes who were recently burned to death by a mob has not been judicially established, and it is only another case in point. The story goes that an itinerant local preacher who was traveling in a Southern state happened to reach a small village toward sunset where one of the poor whites had been robbed of a hog, and diligent search was being made among his neighbor, black and white for his stolen property. The local preacher, happily to reach the village at the Pimples Eczema height of the excitement, and being a stranger was immediately set upon and held as the thief, despite his protests and claims that he was an tintner, preacher on his way to fill an engagement to preach in another village and he was held and prosecuted and given a jury trial. The judge in charging the jury before it retired made this significant statement. Gentlemen you are to take into consideration two facts (1) That a dog has been stolen and (2) that there was a bugger in the neighborhood at about the time of its disappearance. The juror of course brought in its verdict of guilt) as indicted. In China, Mr Wu Ting Fang, one time minister from that country to the United States of America, in a letter to the writer, aid, if a sheriff permitted a mob to take a prisoner committed to his charge away from his custody he would himself or be beheaded by the government. In America you do things differently. Yeah, Mr. Wu, we do. Southern sheriffs are sometimes elected to higher of fines and are lionized as heroes for violating their oaths of office by catering to the mob. The cowardice of these Southern sheriffs is the shame of America. The heathen Chinese is after all not such a heathen as he is alleged to be. He does have respect for the law and the courage to punish those who violate it and those who fail to enforce it. In the South law enforcing officials are not so punctilious when the Negro is the victim of mob law. They sometimes are members of the mob whose (Continued on page 12) COMMISSION MERCHANT DE PARTMENT This department wishes to thank the many farmers who have co-operated so splendidly with us in developing our Commission Merchant department and we feel that if our present relationship continue we will be able to do much in an economic we will in relieving the present stagnated condition existing in our group. Through this department we have been able to find profitable markets in New York for many carloads of produce grown by Negro farmers in the West Indies, South and Central America and the Southern States of the United States of America.

SURGEON-GENERAL OFFICE THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The respiratory system includes the larynx the windpipe, the two bronchi and the two lungs. The larynx opens into the lower part of the throat and the nasal passages, or the mouth when it is open, before entering or after leaving the respiratory passages proper. The larynx is adapted for voice production. It lies in the front of the neck, causing a more or less marked projection. It is superficial, being covered by the skin and slightly overlapped at the sides by the muscles and the lobes of the thyroid gland. It is composed of a framework of cartilage joined together by membranes and ligaments, and to them a number of little muscles are attached while the interior is lined with mucous membrane. The largest of the cartilaginous plates is composed of two wings, which meet in front at an angle, except in the upper part, where they are separated by a des, notch, the apex of which projects in the neck and is popularly known as Adam's apple. The epiglottis is a thin plate composed of fibro-cartilage which projects from the opening of the air passage into the larynx. The interior of the larynx is lined by mucous membrane. The back of the opening of the larynx is formed by the projecting epiglottis. The larynx itself is divided into three parts. The upper part is wider than the opening above and narrows at the first pair of mucous membrane folds the follicle vocal cords. The middle part consists of a narrow pocket between the upper and lower mucous membrane folds. The lower pair of mucous membrane are prominent and sharp, being the true vocal cords, composed of mucous membrane tightly stretched over underlying ligaments. The lower part of the larynx, below the vocal cords, leads directly into the windpipe. Immediately below the larynx the windpipe is crossed by the larynx of the thyroid gland, the lobes of which are closely applied to its sides. At each side of the windpipe in the neck is the common carotid artery, and its lower part, at the left side the arch of the aorta is in close relation as are the great vessels which spring from the aortic arch, the inninate and the left common carotid being at first in front of the windpipe. In close contact with the whole length of the posterior aspect of the windpipe is the esophagus, which separates the windpipe from the bodies of the verte- NOW READY All divisions of the Improvement Ass quested to send in New Constitutions as amended at the the Secretary-Genre By C UNIVERSAL NEGRO ELE MARCUS GARVE All divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to send in their orders for the New Constitutions of the Organization as amended at the last Convention, to the Secretary-General's Office.

The bronchite into which the windpipe divides opposite the fifth thoracic vertebra, are two in number. The structure of the bronchi resembles that of the windpipe rings of cartilage similarly keeping the tubes permanently open. The bronchi branch freely on all sides in the substance of the lungs, the smaller branches sending off still smaller branches, and as the air passages become smaller the cartilages gradually disappear and the muscle fibres form a layer all around the passages. The lungs are two in number and are conical, apophys, vascular organs, situated one on each side of the thorax. Each is covered by the pleura, which is continuous at the root of the lungs, with a similar membrane which lines the cavity of the chest, the space between the two membranes being termed the pleural cavity. On the right side it may be indicated on the surface b, a line drawn from about an inch above the inner third of the collarbone and then vertically down to the level of the sixth costal cartilage.

Meetings in Masonic Hall and Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, Boston, Mass.-Negro or Nubian-The Comprehensive Program of the Division-The New Bedford. Cambridge and Malden Divisions 6 ```markdown ``` By SIR WILLIAM H FERRIS Assistant President General of the U. N. I. A. and Author of "The African Abroad" Cambridge the seat of Harvard University is about four miles from Boston The visitor will range the Charles River on Massachusetts avenue and will see at his right the stately buildings of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Boon he will come to Cambridgeport the southern most section of Cambridge In another mile or so he will strike Central Square, a trolley and shopping centre And in another mile he will strike Harvard Square and see the great university, with its spacious grounds, fenced in by an iron wall It will be well now for the visitor to alight from the trolley or auto and proceed on foot. Crossing the campus he will see Progg's Art Gallery and Memorial Hall, occupying part of a triangle and attracting attention by a clock in its tower. Then the visitor will pass down Divinity avenue, a peaceful and beautiful spot, studded with trees, a fit place for a divinity school. Back of Divinity House he will see a large lot; then the Norton Woods and then the spacious Norton estate, the home of the late Charles Elliot Norton, the famous Dante scholar and literary and art critic. Returning to Memorial Hall the visitor will pass the Harvard Scientific School and Emerson Hall. He will see a lawn and an inscription which tells that on this spot the Colonial soldiers knelt for prayers early in the morning before proceeding to battle at Bunker Hill. Then he will cross the Cambridge Commons, a large park. Verily now he will feel like taking off his hat, because he is on holy ground. First he will see the large elm tree under which George Washington took command of the Colonial army. Then, turning around, he will see the First Congregational Church, pastored for nearly half a century by the late Dr. Alexander McKenzie, a noble looking man with a broad brow, full face, side whiskers and splendid physique, whose was also magnificent. --- Across the street he will behold Radcliffe College, devoted to the higher education of women. This spot typifies the three things that have made New England great—valor, the psychic uplift of religion and the respect for women. Going west the visitor will strike Brattle street, and will see on his right the Cambridge Divinity School and the beautiful home of the poet Long-fellow, America's popular poet. Turning to the right he will come to the home of the late Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, the famous abolitionist, who was a champion of John Brown, a commander of colored troops and lifelong friend of Emory T. Morris, who has a remarkable collection of books on Negro history. Then the visitor will walk up to Mount Auburn Cemetery, famous alike for its windling river, picturesque hills and for the distinguished men and women who sleep in its bounds. Not so much for its physical impressiveness as for the spiritual forces it has unloaded lies Cambridge's title to fame. Of the two historic American universities Yale typifies the spirit of America. Graduates like William Phelpa, the diplomat; Judge David Brewer of the Supreme Court, Chaundry M. Dewep and former President William Howard Taft, who have gone out into the world and won their spurs in politics, law and finance, are her heroes. But Harvard typifies the spirit of the old English universities. Of the four Harvard graduates we heard about the most at Harvard Ralph Waldo Emerson, Charles Elliot Norton, Col. Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Lee Higginson, the banker, only two wrought out their deeds in the physical world and even then one was most honored because he gave Soldiers Field to Harvard and the Boston Symphony Orchestra to the Hub, and not so much because he became a great banker. The other was most honored because he seemed to typify America's courage and idealism and not so much because he became President of the United States. Yale and Harvard had a parallel intellectual development for two centuries. Yale excelling in science, Harvard in philosophy and literature, with the honors even in law, history, philosophy and political economy. Both felt the attractive force of large cities: Harvard of Boston, which was four miles away, and Yale of New York, which was seventy-three miles away. As many of her students came from wealthy New York families and as many of her prominent and popular personal made New York the scene of life work. Yale was somewhat influenced by America's center of trade and commerce, even though it was made further away from her than Boston but from Harvard. When we select that the same between Persian traditions and the international tradition of modern christianism mounted in a driven battle in Rome and in a violent battle in Berlin MAGAZINE PAGE fought battle for the tellement in regard money as the thermometer which registers success in New York city) one can readily recognize the influences which pulled powerfully upon America's two representative universities and who one reservation the man of action while the other reservation the man of thought The Memorable Boston Meetings The Memorable Boston Meetings On Sunday afternoon April 30 we were escorted by Mr Lewis and Mr Ralph Henry Osborne to the Masquarie Hall owned by the colored Masses at 1095 Tremont street Boston. It is a splendid five story building impressive in its architectural lines. Soon we were escorted to the platform and cordially welcomed by President John P Williams Executive Secretary H B Williams Mrs Ada V Dillon the lady president and Commissioner Reilly. The hand struck up and the door Legions, Black Cross Nurses and Juveniles march in. Amid great applause Mr Charles Stewart the former president, was escorted to the platform and in a brief but eloquent speech he renewed his allegiance to the U N L A Then after a cordial introduction by President Williams, we owe to speak upon the theme How I Got in the L N I A. and Why I Stay in the L L A.' The ovation that we received is one of the pleasant memories of our Boston visit. The packed and crowded hall was not only very generous in its applause, but manifested its interest in the uplifting work of the L N I A by the eagerness with which it paid dues, contributed to the general collection the band and the parent body collection Then on May 1 we addressed the epoch making meeting in the Columbus Avenue A M E Zion Church situated at the corner of Northampton street and Columbus avenue. With the possible exception of the Charles Street A M E. Church, it is Boston's representative church. From the days when Messrs. Trotter Martin and Charles quizzed Dr Booker T. Washington, which quizzing almost precipitated a riot and brought in twenty-five policemen up to the present, many memorable meetings have been staged here its pastor, Rev Dr B. W. Snain is now serving his tenth year there and this in itself is a testimony to his ability tact and character Well, the church was not only comfortably filled but crowded, and enthusiasm was at fever heat Attorney Walter Foster preceded us with an eloquent appeal in which he dug up Negro history by the roots. The collection was lifted and at 10:15 p.m we were called upon to speak upon the theme "The Negro Contribution to Civilization." On account of the lateness of the hour, we were only able to give part of our address Nagro or Nubian? The section of our address that interested the audience most was when we touched upon the word 'Negro.' We said in substance. It has been claimed that the 'Negro' has never made any substantial contribution to civilization. This is quite true, because black men were not known as Negroes in ancient and medieval Europe. The ancient Greeks and the Hebrews knew black men as Ethiopians. The Romans knew them as Numidians, Libyans and Nubians. And medieval Europe knew them as Moors. Black men were not called Negroes until the closing days of the sixteenth century, when the Spanish enslavers, endeavoring to divorce black men from their historic past, changed the adjective 'Negro' into a noun, calling them 'Negroes.' "In America a man with one-sixty-fourth Negro blood coursing through his veins is regarded as a Negro. But ethnologists are beginning to restrict the term to the lowest species of the native African. Black men from Brazil Portugal and Abyssinia do not like the term, because it does not mean a black man or a colored man, but a being who is not quite a man. "Dr. Booker T Washington accepted the term because he knew very little about history, sociology, ethnology and anthropology. Black men accept the term reluctantly. If Ethiopian is too long a term, why not call a black man a Nubian? The so-called Negro is the only human being who was given a new name during the past three hundred years." Editor William Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian spoke favorably of the meeting and of our analysis of the term Negro. Mrs. Holiday and Mme. Flowers sang acceptably. Although Mme. Flowers is approaching three score years and ten, the sang with the vigor of youth and electrified the audience when she sang "My Old Kentucky Home" and "Eu-lila-e-on." Several new members enrolled at this meeting. On May 5 we addressed a small meeting at Cairo Hall and closed on May 5 at Masonic Temple. The Boston Division is buying a splendid building on Tremont street. Stores are in the present building. A large hall will be erected above the stores. And the property also includes a large lot. It is a splendid business proposition. The officers of the Boston Division are Attorney Jordan P. Williams, president; Mrs. Add Dillon, lady president; Mrs. W. H. Heineman, lady president.

The Cambridge Division has had five presidents during the past year and a half. The present officers are Mr Walker president, William A Hurley secretary, Theophilus Clarke assistant secretary, Corman Hamlett treasurer Mrs. Warmayne Headley lady president, Mrs Lillian Jemott leader of Black Cross Nurses Mrs. Matthews is also very active in the Black Cross Nurses.

Division On Sunday afternoon May 7, and in Monday night we addressed a large audience in the A M E Zion Church on Elm street under the auspices of the New Bedford Division Mr Will- tama was the master of ceremonies. The Legions Black Cross Nurses and the Juveniles under the leadership of Mrs. Haddocks, were in evidence Sunday evening we preached to the division in the Old Fellows' Hall on Mill street.

Lena Fortes, lady secretary There is a great deal of enthusiasm in the New Bedford Division. A building fund had been started but so many members lost their jobs that a halt was called in the proceedings. New Bedford is an old Quaker town and is a famous whaling city. The names of three noted colored men are connected with the city Paul Cuffee the navigator, ship owner, churchman and philanthropist Frederick Douglas the abolitionist and Sergeant Carne) the hero at Fort Warrior are these men.

Miss Laura Curtiss sings in a choir in Fort Haven Miss Hazel Curtiss is clerk in a department store and Miss Ruth Curtiss in the five and ten cent store. The Malden Division On Thursday evening May 11 we addressed a mass meeting under the auspices of the U N I A in the Eastern Avenue Baptist Church Malden, Mass. Rev R. Collins pastor Mr. A. E. Alkena is the president and Mr. A. A Clarke the secretary of the Malden Division. We shall tell of this meeting and of the meeting in the Allen A. M. E. Church, Providence, R.I. on Sunday May 14, in the next issue of The Negro World. Nothing shows the spirit of the Boston Division better than the fact that the president, Attorney Jordan P. Williams, his wife, the chaplain and the chair rode to Malden, involving a long trolley ride, changing cars twice, in order to attend and participate in the Malden meeting. Attorney Joseph S. Mitchell delivered an address that was remarkable for its scope and historic grasp. Next week we will also discuss the business outlook in the Hub and Du Bois, Trotter and Marcus Garvey as leaders.

He was 6 feet 8 inches, of a compact, stocky build. He claimed to be a prize fighter. Wanted to fight the best there was to offer. No one took him seriously. His weight was somewhere around 146 to 150 pounds. He was matched against one of our local set-ups, and he made short work of him. Again they matched him against a man who was one of the best in his days, an ex-champ. But he had shot his holt. So the stranger made a shopping block out of him. Still they refused to take him seriously. And he kept right on whipping everything they put up against him. The wise ones began to take notice. One of our wealthy men a large real estate operator took him in charge. Having beaten all the men of his own weight he now had to step out and take on the larger ones. During this time he gained weight steadily. Yet he had to concede weight to most every one of his opponents. That did not seem to hand him very much in one of his later flights he weighed 19 pounds and the man he fought scaled at 14 pounds. Yet the latter had to use every strategy to last out the limit. The fighter we are talking about is none other than Hild Norfolk. He fought Harry Wills in New York recently and was knocked out. But that was because he needed too much in height weight reach in fast in every thing but age. It was too much of a large order. This does not give the title to bodies of the colored cham, but a brief account. We call it most known Norfolk in most of the tribes and predicts that if he will stay to the man of his weight he will hampton of the world in him. Well!

This the author has done in about a page leaving room for two excellent photos one of Douglass as a young man the other of Paul L. Trenton in St. Louis illustrations. Which Mr Walrond maes no attempt to extort his subject and much of the value of the article must come from what it suggests rather than what it actually brings out, he has given in a wealth of information in the treat treaties, which stamps him the student that he is. In this article he mentions several authors known to us all and then he mentions some not so well known and one or two whom he credits with having wrought well in their day are known to just the soil for their records speak highly for them. Those who have been hired for Mr. Ward in the world would be somewhat accustomed with his style of work, as he much more suited to a magazine or a book wrapper. The use of saying things through suggestion is thought to be a pleasing degree in this article. Question. He doesn't need mind the loss of readers he would be serving.

April 9 was a red letter day in the history of the Tela Division as it was the day on which the first stage of the realization of the hopes of the members of the Division for a local forum took definite shape, the laying of the cornerstone of their future Liberty Hall The dedicatory service began with prayer and with the reading of the lea- son by the chaplain Hon. D. Erastus Thorpe. Commissioner for Honduras and president of the local division, cordially thanked the gathering for its attendance and remarked that this is a new era, a time in which seeds of freedom must be sown for the benefit of posterity "THE FLAT BELOW" Mr Miller of Miller and Lyles has given us a rather good drama in 'The Flat Below' given when measured by European standards. That this drama in a Negro community should be all Negro in conception, construction and production is as it should be and I am pleased to note that my recent criticism of the Dunbar Players white dramatic productions has borne fruit of an exceptionally high order. The Flat Below' which owes as much to Clarence Muse the producer, as it does to the author deals with a phase of life which is not particularly Negro but which is common to all humanity dwelling in the Western Hemisphere or within the shadow of so-called Western civilization Briefly a young woman has been seduced by a church deacon. The mother leaves home to avoid disgrace. There is a girl child. The mother in trying to support and educate her child by her own efforts dies from overwork and on her deathbed commits her infant to the care of her late pastor (Mr Fred Miller). The dying mother supplies the minister with a letter which contains the name of the child's father which is to be opened only in the event of some crisis arising that might affect the moral position of the pastor in his relation to the girl. In due course the girl leaves college and the reverend guardian places her in charge of a female member of his church (Elizabeth Williamk) The deacon (Mr Clarence Muse) calls finds that the child is an orphan who has been educated by the pastor of his church and he at once indicates that the aspect of the case is not good morals. The sister of the church at once ejects the innocent girl who is hospitable (received by the lady to easy virtue (Ophthalmus Muse)) who is responsible for the conduct of "The Flat Below. Here the girl (Miss Marion Taylor) hung to run the gantlet of threatened seduction first by her own the deacon and then by big Jim (George Randolph). The lover (Jack Carter) comes to the Flat Below in search of his flancee and finds her in the arms of big Jim, who, the better to further his own immoral ends, has tendered his protection to the girl against the adult deacon father. Royster the lover turns from his sworth art in a disgust and decides to join the mercy throng in. The Flat Below as the pastor enters to receive his ward whom he takes to the parsonage. The deacon subsequently heads a deputation which calls upon the pastor to request his resignation and in self defense as well as in the interest of the girls' good name the pastor reads the letter her dying mother gave him for such an emergency. The tables are turned the deacon is disaffected, the hero obtains the forgive use of the girl and all ends happily. There is a good moral lesson in this drama which is not without touches of genuine humor. Clarence Muse played the hypocrite down with an onus and a sensitivity which would have enhanced the reputation of an broadway play. It considered tone and point of view. Elizabeth Wallis was good and always was an S.S. officer; was the heroine the Ruth (Marian Paul) and the Cleo Young (Olivia M.) But the gem of the production was the character of M. Coffee by Richard Gregg. I was worth writing to the end of the play, as this excellent piece of art is credited due to Clarence Muse for his营利性 acting but also for the production and the training of the actors to a high condition of efficiency from material work was both raw and unpromising. I will mention us have more dramas of this character, which is Negro for Negro people—and white people too, who know how to appreciate true art.

I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly. All nature has conspired to give to mother earth life in its best form and when we find dwarf efforts and abnormal effects obtaining we may rest assured that nature has been tampered with, and in the hindering failed to reproduce its best. That man the highest expression of life, should be an exception to the bringing forth of the best on earth is unnatural and illogical in the extreme. But rather his is the pleasure to cause the earth to blossom as a rose and the waste places to become gardens of richest verdure and luxurant growth. His is the high privilege to inspire and give abundant life from an inexhaustible source; whose wellspring is the Abundant Life. That he will grasp his chance and evolve the abundant life depends upon how he is tampered with or hindered, as is seen in nature. In what does the abundant life consist? First it is a life of vision Without a vision the people perish Mother earth sets arrayed in her best awaiting our coming. How will you enhance her charms? How will you increase her wealth? What will you contribute to make her happler for your coming? Will she welcome your coming? Will she be convinced that your vision is large enough to make life better? These are pertinent questions and you must answer them. Life lived at its best does not mean a more living but it's true to its name—life. He who makes a life is assured of a living, but many a man has had a living without a life. A life that counts must be useful in many directions. It is a life linked with God that goes all the way which the Master went. Our vision must be optimistic. We must know life, we must control life and we must make denials in life, especially the selfish desires. The abundant life is a life of love. The world wants love, more love. It has always felt this pressing need. So pressing was it that God sent Him only son to make the earth bright for our coming into being. Hate, envy and pride must be put out of your life, and love, encouragement and peace must be your slogan for living. This life is a life of great comparison. It is a God in the most desirable of us, and encourages that God until it is manifested in the love life. It always draws, and never drives its objects of love. It is low suffering and ever patient with the whom are dense and gross) ignorant. It is the great magnet of the universe drawing in spite of itself. It is the one great positive pole, which is God made manifest in the flesh, that stands with outstretched hands and arms of great strength and endurance, saying to suffering humanity despoiled manhood wanton and wasted womanhood and cering children of a loving Father and behold me, that you might have abundant life. Take, possess. This love of which I speak has no limitations. It is as boundless as its giver—God. It is best expressed here in the form of mother's devotion. It is a life of contentment. In the sight of external examination of things and people we do not find very much contentment in this life. But it is possible after much striving to find contentment here. It may be fleeting, set it is a forestate of a fuller glory. Find the Christ and you find an abiding peace. I mean a lasting peace. Few of us have found Him. A majority of us have disclosed the identity of His being and left Him unfound. To find Him we must subsidize every personal interest to the measurement of His glory. This is not a crucifixion of life desires, but it is a denial of self in this we shall find joy. # To find contentment here we must know and realize that "perfect love casteth out all fear." That "Love knoweth no failure" It is determined and will succeed in spite of all opposition. We can come into the realization of the abundant life here. It is our privilege to possess. I fear some of us cannot appreciate it in the other life if we do not acquaint ourselves with it here.

FERRIS TELLS MASSACHUSETTS AUDIENCE 20TH CENTURY WILL MARK RISE OF DARKER RACES Not Only Must the Negro Be Spiritually Organized, but Financially and Industrially the Negro Could Be a Mighty Force in White Civilization BY LENA FORTES NEW BEDFORD Mass. May 2 On Sunday afternoon May 7 about 8:30 p.m. a special service was held in the A M E Zion Church, Elm street. The president called the meet- ing to order and introduced Mr. Joseph Williams as master of ceremonies. He spoke about the speaker of the after- noon and how he was known in New Bedford, having visited here before Mr. Harris favored us with an exe- cellent vocal solo. Next was introduced Sir Wm. H Forris, and his remarks were concerning the U N I A and what it is trying to accomplish. There are three big ideas in mind. First the organization of the black peoples of the world, to make successful busi- ness enterprises among our people and the U N I A says that what other men have done we can do. The Hon. Marcus Garvey has started a great work on a large scale, and it will go to prove that the Negro is a creative genius. The twentieth century will mark the rise of the darker race. It shall prove to the world the Negro is a man, whether he is born and lives under the Stars and Stripes or under the Red, Black and Green. Since our organisation we have built different manufactories employing our people, and we shall enlarge such industries as time goes on. The time will come when the Negro will receive equal terms for what he will produce In the evening, May 7, the Division held a meeting in the Odd Follows' Hall. Meeting was called to order by the president about 8 o'clock, and after the regular opening exercises the speaker, Sir Wm. Ferris, was introduced and he read as his text for the service the first chapter of Proverba. After an instructive sermon he referred to the fact that he was pleased to see our Division having the children baptised in the U N I. A. Following the sermon Sir William Ferris baptized three children by the ritual of our organization; and all were made to feel the spirit of the movement and the laying of the colors upon those three children will always remain in our minds, and may we, as older members, uphold the Red. Black and Green. Meeting closed about 9:30. On Monday evening, May 8, a special service was held in the A M E Zion Church. Elm street, at which time Sir William Ferris delivered an impressive and instructive lecture concerning the achievements the Negro has made along all lines of industry and art and music. After the president, Mr. Grosbe, about 9 p.m. called the meeting to order. the master of ceremonies for the evening was Mr Chas. Timber, who acted in the absence of Mr Joa. Williams. He said in par. it has been said the Negro has no history, but we will leave that for our distinguished guest to tell you. There was a solo by Mrs. Gasper, address of welcome by Miss Grosbeo who also favored us with a piano solo Mr Timber introduced Sir William Ferris, who said in part he believed in the financial as well as the spiritual success of the U N I A. Black men were smelting iron in Babylon centuries ago. It has been proved black men discovered America before Christopher Columbus. They taught the Indians how to grow sweet potatoes and peanuts Black men have played their part in science centuries ago. The U N I A seeks to give you confidence in yourself. Last year's convention held two parades; the first was a silent one, the other was a magnificent one with many hands. It was Phyllis Wheatley who first called George Washington "First in Peace." Robert Brown was a colored mathematician Greek and Latin books have been successfully composed by black men and used as text books. In the seventeenth century there was a colored general in Brazil Christopus Attucci shed his blood in the Revolutionary War, and there is a monument erected to his memory in Boston. There is also the Shaw monument in Boston in memory of the colored boys who fought with Colonel Shaw. Tanner made his mark as an artist. Miss Hagan received a $2,000 scholarship in music. Mr. Lewis won fame as an artist on the vollin. Chas. Gillpin as an actor. *When Peary planted the Stars and Stripes on the North Pole Mr. Hansen was there. Dalbo had colored men with him when he discovered the Himalayan River, and De Soto also had colored men with him when he reached the Pacific Ocean. *If any black man is successful in perfecting an invention we are in hopes soon to be able to dance such inventions through the U. N. L. A. so that they will not be forced to sell the dame to white people. *The U. N. L. A. wants the colored man to look up and feel that he is a man. The Moors were the first encounter. Brains. Let us hold on to our ideas and save money so that we shall be morally and physically fit.

CAMPBELL ELECTRIFIES NEWPORT NEWS DIV. DR. CAMPBELL ELECTRIFIES NEWPORT NEWS DIV. Under the influence of a beautiful day the Newport News Division No. 6 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association witnessed the assemblage of its faithful members and the advent of new visitors and friends. It was evident from the general aspect and progress of this meeting that the spirit of racial pride and fraternity dominated the souls of all present. It is useless to say that they were favored by the presence and timely comments of some of the leading thinkers of Newport News, because it is a recognized fact that although many of the so-called leading men, the majority of them preachers, are morally bankrupt enough as to stifle their conscience and declare the Garvey movement there illusory, there are men over whose conscience God exercises control, and they are compelled to speak the fullness of their soul. There came to this division a man of thought and high ideals, combined with a profound love for his people in the person of Dr Campbell, who spoke in high terms of the unique dreams of the founder of the greatest movement on earth. The regular order of service was duly observed, with the choir, under the leadership of the versatile T H. Sneed, furnishing the necessary stimulant in the form of good music for the refreshment of the soul. The meeting, after being declared open by the president, E. Godfrey progresed in the most orderly manner, which reflected credit on the manner in which the members think of its present staff of officers. At 4 p. m. the crowning speaker of the day was introduced and received the greetings of the people. Being very informal the learned gentleman proceeded with fervor to speak sympathetically of the association, surveyed the wonderful path on which it atrode since its birth, a path made more wonderful, more historic, more noble, because of the many obstacles by which it was marked, and with his audience explored the not very distant future when this glorious conglomeration, attaining its highest objective, will be the haven of the Negro peoples of the world. It will be the only cure for Jim Crowism, segregation, and separation laws, etc., hence the appropriate text of the speaker taken from the word of the Prophet Jeremiah. "What Have I Done?" Treating the subject in its entirety the speaker inquired for the man or man who could boast of having lived a useful life, and could not number among his many activities the accomplishment of something for the freedom of mankind, soul or body who could not boast of having handed down to posterity a fraction of its future generation, nor doing something for the redemption of his race. Progress may be slow, he went on to say, but think of the slow, uncomfortable motives of the first thought. of the days when it was impossible for one to ride for a distance of very many miles without being set on fire by the huge sparks of fire which belched forth from the mouth of the primitive funnel, compare them with the improved coaches of the day, the Pullman sleeps, the electric power-driven to be seen entering the terminals of New York, and you will see the possibilities of the Garvey movement. In finishing the speaker exhorted all present to take hold of a portion of the burden of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in order that they can be justly proud when the great dead is accomplished, and all are convinced that Dr. Campbell brought a wonderful lesson. The speaker for the night meeting was the Rev. Curvon, whose words were also full of inspiration, and who, all are assured, will do a great deal for this division in particular and the organization in general. Another interesting feature was the business meeting, held on the 2d of the month, which was marked with hardymony and deliberation on the part of the officers and members. No. 6 is again on its way to fame. By A. CONVERT THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. MAY 20. 1922 CUBANS AND "JAMAIQUANOS IDOLIZE MORALES FOR FEARLESS UTTERANCES PORTRAIT OF MARCUS GARVEY GIFT TO SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION Korean Tells of the Sufferings of His People BAN FRANZINO Cal. The Black Cross Nurses of the San Francisco Division No 148 rendered a program on April 23 at Hamilton Haito to a large and enthusiastic audience. A short address was delivered by Mrs Mae Hargartner President of the Ladies' Division and Matron of the Black Cross Nurses, who said in part that she was very much pleased with the interest the Black Cross Nurses were taking in their work, and how they were responding to the many calls that have been reported to them Mrs Bargartner said that the Black Cross Nurses had planned a surprise for the members and friends of the San Francisco Division which she knew would please them Mrs Louise Brown General Secretary, made a short address, and after a few remarks concerning the Hon Marcus Garvey and the U N I A presented an enlarged portrait of the Hon Marcus Garvey amid applause to the San Francisco Division as a gift from the Black Cross Nurses Prof J J Adam, president of the San Francisco Division, thanked the Black Cross Nurses for their gift Mr Kim, a Korean reporter told of the suffering of his people under Japanese rule, and said they were working for the same cause as the U N I A—freedom. He said he was greatly interested in our program for he knew what the Negro had suffered and what his country was suffering under the yoke of oppression. He told how their women and children were being killed by the Japanese, and, although we were of different races, we were brothers under the skin and we were as one race working for the same cause and if need be dying for the same cause for that great longing is uppermost in the hearts of all oppressed races. BOSTON HOLDS BIG U. N. I. A. MEETING Bv RUEU8 M. ROMAIN BOSTON, Mass — A meeting that was in itself an inspiration was held by the Boston branch of the U N I A. With his text, "The Man of the Hour," Mr Cox, the first speaker was strikingly forceful. He feelingly stressed the fact that the Hon. Marcus carves a achievement up to date in stand among history a greatest, and pleased with his honors to continue their support to the end that the Red, Black and Green be planted in Africa, a symbol of freedom Miss Susan Blinko, who followed hold her audience spellbound with a highly interesting talk on British influence as it interests Negroes, bringing out England's policy of piracy in an able fashion. The appearance of the U N I A. on the scene, she asserted, was a God-sent relief worthy of the appreciation of every living Negro. With accustomed eloquence Mr. Reeves cited the organization as the only one to present a program equal to the problem of the race. Movements have been, said he, that distinguish themselves only in finding fault with others, but the L. N. I. A. has led the way in remedying faults. It opens the door of hope for race men of every known attainment, whose desire is for service to their race. His was an effective appeal for support, and the house handed him the applause of the evening. A recitation by Miss Wilma Edwards well marked the applause that greeted her. The choir, running true to form rendered two beautiful selections, the Hallelujah chorus being especially appreciated. On its face the meeting justified its pretensions. BY M. F CAMPBELL HAVANA Cuba, April 23 1922 The Right Hon. Eduardo V. Morales electrified our audience with his speech and the way in which he explained the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Never before did we hear such facts about the U. N. I. A. His speech was very substantial, and out of the crowd came one of the bravest Cuban Negroes, saying "I always consider Jamaiquanos, Cubanos and Haitians to be all sons of Africa, and as far as I am concerned there is no distinction made, and it should be in the heart of every Cuban to treat them as a fellow brother." It was explained by the crowd that the Hon. E. V. Morales is Cuba's greatest Negro. Never before did Cubans hear a man speak on the redemption of Africa. They added: "What makes us have confidence in him is when he says I have no apologies to make nor nothing to take back." He spoke without fear when he said no retreat is possible in this movement; we are asking no flavors, but demanding a free and independent Africa. PRENTON Hallfax, Nova Scotia - A meeting for the purpose of organizing a branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was held at Preston in the Eastern Star Hall, last month. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Geo H. Degga municipal commissioner. George E. Cresse Commissioner for Canada in a masterly and convincing address explained the aims and purposes of the meeting. He explained what the race has done and is doing and what we may do if consultation be adopted. He depicted the present situation showing how against obstacles the race is improving intellectually economically, socially and morally. Mr B G Parris an under graduate of Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, in a few remarks wished every success for the movement, voicing the sentiments of the people in general Means John Crawly Sr. A W Evans, A W Chase, Sam Williams and others spoke in favor of this movement. As a result of this meeting a branch was formed. DIVISION FLOURISHING According to a report from Samuel Culver Key West Fla Division No 125 is flourishing. A fine spirit of service to Africa a cause is exhibited among the members. This is really one of the forward looking members of the division BIRDS OF A FEATI NECESSARILY BIRDS OF A FEATHER MUST NECESSARILY FLOCK TOGETHER By JOSEPH J. HACKNEY He that knows and knows not that he knows, he is sleepy, purple him. He that knows not and knows that he knows not, he is simple teach him. He that knows and knows that he knows, he is a video man, follow him. But he that knows not and knows not that he knows not, he is a fool, shun him." It is not to be questioned that the colored man is on the threshold of a new era. The evidence is universal. It is also true that a majority are as yet in a heavy slumber. While the greatest supreme cause, the highest ideal of life, a nation developed by evolution, remains to be taught. The soul essence of such a principle is found in the U N I A. The first requisite then is to follow the man who knows. Such a one is Mr Garvey and others of like position determination of a Napoleon his mighty reserve energies relative to the sticks met their Waterloo Then the father of the boys took the sticks and separated them and easily broke them one by one upon his knee. Then a chorus went up from the loops that I or we could have broken them like that. But the old man nodded his head as he said. "My boys, this is to teach you a lesson. I will soon be gone How can this be best accomplished? The answer is, by 'action'. Let "A" stand for action, for every noble action which you can possibly put forth, and "C" for character, the highest you can maintain, let "T" train your tongue to great truths, while "T" will suggest that you take initiative. "O" will remind you to be original, to bring out the best that is in you, and "N" will suit in a noble Negro nation. The maximum method of procedure is to "read" Keep everlastingly at it. Read the best that our people have to give in connection with the best found everywhere, for reading makeh a full man. That is the first step to make a better man or woman or build a better nation. We will best conserve this purpose for which the nation is struggling as we are enabled to induce each individual to first and lastly read, read, read. There are some people who are to be shunned, because they 'know not' to the third degree. Such folk remind me of a bunch of salt-water crabs in a bucket, every time one lifts a leg to get out the others will pull him down. I have in mind an aged man who had seven sons and a very good estate. He realized that his days on this planit were but few more so one day he gathered together seven small sticks and tied them all into one bundle of sticks. Then he called his seven sons around him and to the youngest he passed the sticks first and asked him to break them, but the lad tried in vain. Then he passed them on to the next boy and his attempts were useless. And on and on he passed the sticks, until they had reached the eldest son who was a man well advanced in middle age, and with the AIQUANOS IDOLIZE RLESS UTTERANCES The High Commissioner has done great things for us, and every member of the Havana Division is going 100 per cent U.N.

Through the Very Heart of the Canadian Dominion NI JOHN N D April 11 Thursday evening April 10 will now be known as the birth night of the NI John N B Branch of the U N I A and A T L. The meeting that was called by Commissioner George D Creease at the A M E Church on Queen street for the purpose of establishing a branch of the association in the city of NI John N B was well attended. The Rev C A Stewart brother of Rev K A Stewart of Halifax, by whose kind permission and help the church was given for this purpose, acted as chairman. The meeting was called to order at 9 30 p.m. after a very explanatory introduction by the chairman. Commissioner Creease spoke on the alma and objects of the U N I A and pointed out the many possibilities that the future holds for the Negro race if it will but organise itself into one great whole with a strong determination to accomplish for itself the things we need in this world. It is a very strange thing to say that Bt John, with a coloured popu determination of a Napoleon his mighty reserve energies relative to the sticks met their Waterloo Then the father of the boys took the sticks and separated them and easily broke them one by one upon his knee. Then a chorus went up from the boys that I or we could have broken them like that. But the old man nodded his head as he said. "My boys, this is to teach you a lesson. I will soon be gone and if you remain separated in life you will be easily broken, but if you stay tied together you can never be broken. So it is with the Negroes of the world. If Marcus Garvey and other great leaders were using their power and influence as did the obnoxious "Billy Kersands." then we would be justified in playing the part of afore-raised bucket of crabs It is a peculiar thing that the Negro go to two extremes. He will either he master of the highest or master of the lowest. I think it is high time that the average common colored man should cut out so much rotten jazzy jazzy jazz, and start toward the higher extreme with the spirit of do or die. You truly. JOSEPH L.

The hour was late when Commissioner Creece was through speaking so we had no time to carry through the election of officers fully. Mr A A Richardson has been appointed temporary president and Mr J N Uicker (temporary secretary) until the election is held.

WHITES OUT TO EXTERMINATE THE NEGRO. DECLARES MARCUS GARVEY Unless the Negro Prepares Himself Now Through Organization He Will in Another 500 Years Be Wiped Off the Face of the Earth On Friday April 7 Honorable Mar- cus Garvey again lectured in Music Hall, Cincinnati. As on the previous night Hon William Ware presided and made the introductory speech Commissioner Sherrell who followed, again scored another success, impressing upon his audience that he is a public speaker of whom the Association may well be proud. His Excellency spoke from the subject The Future of the Negro in This Country" He said that it is the plan "the white American to exterminate the Negro More and more the fact is coming home to the Negroes that the country is a white man country. The world is growing no larger but the human family is rapidly increasing. It means that in another few hundred years this world will be inhabited by the strongest race and the strongest nation Unless the Negro prepares him self now through organization he will in another 500 years be wiped off the face of the earth The President General (earth) explained that we are now living in a bread and butter age (german) went to war with the Allies because her share of bread and butter was not sufficient. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is teaching Negroes to produce their share of bread and butter before the other fellow takes it all. Speaking of slaves, he said that slavery is as old as the ages. The white man was once a slave. When Ethiopia was enjoying civilization Britons roamed the forests of Britain clothed in skins. When Ethiopians studied literature, arts and sciences their magnificent seminaries and institutions the white man roved in savages and barbarism. When the Egyptians were building mighty pyramids the wonder and astonishment of ages Britons were being sold at the various maries of Rome. But the white man was tired of his condition and he arose and liberated himself politically, industrially and socially. This shows plainly that Negroes too can do the same thing and return to their former glory. Mr. Carves did not pay honour to the heroes who had fought bravely for the cause of freedom. In voice of real earnestness that held his audience in rapt attention, with manner that bespoke generosity and deep conviction the said. Tonight me thinks I beheld that saint) man, Robert Emmett pleading the cause of Irish freedom. He led to the block his neck is bared, the executioner lifts on high his mighty ax it falls the head is seared from the body the blood gushes out is the blood of freedom. Tonight Lee MacSwine) a he enures his hunger strikes a protest against the oppression of his people. Tonight my eyes peer through the prison bars and see behind those bars one who hits to clear contemplation suffering for the freedom of his country. Yes, treadhouss the path that leads to humour and suffering in cause that he says, in India a liberation Continuing in this flight of oratory without fear with courage undaunted with that self confidence characteristic of all great leaders, this great leader excalled "If tonight I should be sent to jail, it is immaterial, the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must go on. If I should be the first to make the supreme sacrifice so that my race me enjoy liberty I say lot death come I am prepared I am prepared for any hard hip. I welcome any difficulties I am afraid of no opposition, because I would re-echo those historic words in I think Henry: "Give me liberty, or give me death." Amidst thunderous applause His Excellency told his audience. At the close of the meeting Mr. O'Neill instructed all the members to remind us he had something of importance to say. He explained the object of the Loan System showing that the L.N.A. is teaching its people thrifty habits as well as making it possible for them to start opening up industries all over the country. Mr. O'Neill was greatly pleased with the showing the timeless Division made and publicly lauded the president for his loyalty to the great cause of Africa's freedom. President Ware is not a university graduate but loyalty and devotion to his race have been his guiding principle. This is the testimony of those who ought to know in Cincinnati. For years before the U N I A had estab-lished itself here Ware was gathering his people into his "Welfare Association for the Colored Race." And when Garvey came upon the scene with his universal teaching, Ware marshaled his army and marched straight into the U N I A. RED LETTER DAY AT TELA, SPANISH HONDURAS RED LETTER DAY AT TELA, SPANISH HONDURAS Cy O. F. A. HARRISON PUERTO CORTER. Spa Honduras. April 14, 1923—On Sunday the 9th inst., despite the extraordinary dry season parohing, as it were, the streets and lanes of Tela the monotony was broken at 2 o'clock p.m. when men, women and children in all walks of life were to be seen wending their way to the local Liberty Hall to witness the ceremony of the laying of the cor- cerone of the new Liberty Hall. At 2:30 sharp the officers and members of the division assembled at the hall, when the photographs of the following units were taken in order: U.N. A choir in robes Universal African Black Cross Nurses, and the executive officers Following the photographing of these units the procession, headed by the Universal African Legion with the banner and standard of the organization lined up for inspection by the president and commissioner, Dr. Erastus Thorpe After the inspection the procession with the singing of the hymn Brightly Gleams Our Hanner, marched on to the grounds on which is to be erected the new Liberty Hall. The spot was nicely cleaned and in the center of the pillars was erected the platform on which were seated the choir the nurses the executive officers and the representatives from the various divisions, chapters and lodges the congregation being seated on forms in the arena The ceremony was opened with a brief and impressive address by the President and Commission followed by Hymn No 95 From greenland's Ice Mountains. The chaplain of the division then delivered the dedicatory ceremony followed by two brief addresses in English and Spanish by the President. Next came the laying of the stones, the ceremonies of which shall never be forgotten to the memories of those who witnessed it. A tear of grief acums to roll from the eyes of many as the Commissioner in an eloquent tone of voice read the Declaration of Rights enacted by the first International convention of 1920 The hymn Shine On Eternal Light was lustfully sung by the congregation during the ceremony. The following constitutes the articles deposited in the cavity of the stones A glass jar containing one $5 gold piece. American 1 peso 25 cents 12½ cents. Honduran currency one constitution book of the Association, revised and amended 1921 and one copy of the Declaration of Rights, together with the names of some of the high executive officers and the executive officers of the local division The ceremony having closed, a series of eloquent addresses was given by the representatives. After which W E. M. Stewart first vice-president of the division delivered the closing address. The hymn Onward Christian Soldiers was sung as the procession lined the route of March back to the Liberty Hall At 7:30 p.m was gathered again the audience for dividing service when Mr Nunan, from British Honduras, delivered an eloquent address. The speaker kept his audience spellbound for nearly three-quarters of an hour. After the sermon the divisional chaplain made a few complimentary remarks. The singing of the National Anthem brought the entire proceedings to a close, though to be long remembered in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to be witnesses. DR. STEWART DELIVERS MOTHER DAY SERMON LIBERTY HALL N Y May 14 One of the most instructive sermons ever preached in Liberty Hall for a long while was given by the Rev Dr. E Stewart High Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at the divine service in Liberty Hall on Sunday morning last. Although the crowd was not up to its usual standing everyone who was present agreed that it was one of the best sermon preached in Liberty Hall for some time past and after the service, you could hear everyone speaking of the revival gentleman. The historian took his text from the 21st Chapter of the Book of Proverbs and the 25th Verse. Strength and honor are her clothing and she shall rejoice in time to come," his subject being The Ideal Woman. From the manner in which Dr. Stewart handled his subject, he proved himself to be a real student of Biblical history and his writer is convinced that one could not have enjoyed a better sermon in any Negro church in New York than that which was preached in Liberty Hall on this occasion. His talk on a mother's love was most instructive and before the sermon was through one could see handkerchiefs being taken from almost every pocket in the gathering to dry the tears flowing from the eyes of almost everyone present, which was a conclusive proof of the sermon having hit its mark. Dr. Stewart closed his discourse with the following quotation which so well be fitted the occasion Fight on, most noble women, Your task you will not shirk For many years, through sighs and tears You have done the Master's work No herald sounded your advance. No banners flamed or waved. But, oh, the victories you have won. The woman-and you have saved The hopes of all these years assailed. The given truth is still with you. You have worked that this our race may be saved. And at last you shall be gathered safe." The well-known hymn, "Tell Mother I'll Be There" was then sung, after which the benediction was pronounced and every one went away feeling that they had enjoyed a sermon in Liberty Hall as good or better than could be had in any other church in New York. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. MAY 20. 1922 PHILADELPHIA GOES WILD OVER ORATORY OF HON. MARCUS GARVEY Attorney Austin Norris Says Garvey Is Unlike His Predecessors, Because He Idealizes Black! FINE PROGRAM PRESENTED BY BIGGS, OKLA., DIV. The 44th Division U N I A and A C L at Bigge. Okla rendered a program on Sunday April 23 at 10 a.m. as follows The meeting was opened by Rev D C Coleman, chaplain, and turned over to the president, Rev J W Williams, who proceeded by reading the preamble of the constitution and announced the house in order to render the program Mrs Dora L Graves, chairman of the committee on arrangements for the program, arose and made announcement that the following program would be rendered Ode "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," by audience, opening address, Mrs. Alice Daniel, who from beginning to end received much applause from the audience. Then followed an address of welcome by Mrs. Ann Gordon. Song "I Shall Wear a Golden Crown" led by Mrs Bertha Harris. Select reading from The Negro World, Hon Marcus Garvey's speech of March 11 at Pittsburgh Pa. Now is not the time to reason who Negroes should do or die by Miss Nancy Graves. Speech by little Miss Ethel Holmes on "The Organization and Its Colors," after which followed the presentation of the flag. A paper was read by Mrs Dora L Graves on "A Great Call to the Ethiopian Before It Is Too Late, and then Rev J W Williams, president, presented to the audience Dr O A William of 133d Division, Okmulgue, Okla., who held the audience spellbound for an hour speaking strongly on the im-provement of the black man of today creating applause at the end of each sentence he spoke. The audience was then dismissed for dinner by Rev D C Coleman. At the conclusion of the hour allowed for dinner Dr O A William was compelled to leave for his division, and he was accompanied to his train by Rev C H Holmes, chairman of the Board of Trustees. We were then surprised by By "THE WATCH DOG" BY THE WATER BAY The Philadelphia Division, under the leadership of Dr Lionel A. Francis, is making such rapid strides that one is forced to ask. What next? It is said that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is too large to be accomplished but I can assure the readers of the Negro World that in the city of Philadelphia the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are making history so great they compel the Right Honorable Marcus Garvey to acknowledge them as second to none. Someone has asked What is Philadelphia doing? We never read anything of them in the Negro World. At one time they were held as being the coming giants of the N. I. A., but now they are apparently no more. On Monday evening, May 8 a vast audience assembled at Salem Baptist Church, at Twelfth and Bainbridge streets, and filled this spacious building to overflowing in the determination to hear the Right Honorable Marcus Garvey for the second time in one month. Indeed it is commandable and noteworthy to notice for a whole hour before the commencement of the musical program that the spacious church was completely packed by persons sitting and standing. Wherever you turned you could see men and women belonging to some uniform rank such as the men of the Universal African Legion, the police force the motor corps the Black Cross the Willing Workers and the bugle corps Much a beautiful spectacle one seldom sees. The military bearing of the Universal African Legion the motor corps and the other units with their increasing numbers compel every observer to determine that this movement in Philadelphia is on the onward march. As the President General entered the building, accorded by his military attack, the vast audience rose to their feet cheering and waving their hand for chiefta. which shows without any doubt the great respect and high esteem in which the President General is held in Philadelphia. The drilling of the uniform rank by the colonel was so perfect and up-to-date that I am forced to state that even the military department's efficiency is nearing 100 per cent. The program was lengthy but very interesting. The singing of Mrs. Tasko, with her eleven year old daughter at the piano, was a rare treat. The comin' recitations of Sister Lockett in Southern dialect kept the vast audience in laughter from beginning to ending Sisters Brown in their own unassuming way sang "Whispering Home" as only they can sing it to the satisfaction of the crowd Miss Gwendoline Benjamin, aged nine, is a star elocutionist, her pronunciation, style and clear and perfect rendition of a recitation compelled the audience to demand an encore Mr. Thomas Wallace Swann, author, politician and publicist, in a glowing speech introduced Attorney Austin Norris as one of our young men who has made good and in whom the U. N. I. A. will find a staunch friend and defender. Attorney Austin Norris, in a most eloquent speech, held his audience spellbound for thirty minutes. Before he had spoken five minutes he had captured the audience. In his remarks COMMISSIONER MORALES REPORTS MARVELOUS PROGRESS IN CUBA THE U. N. I. A.

Prof Scrugga, president of Sapulpa Division, was then introduced and came forward and spoke very interestingly as to the advance of the Negro. There was a recitation, Awake, by Mrs Bertha Harris, and a song, 'Why Not Join with Us Now' led by Mrs Bertha Harris. The speaking of Prof McKinney was so strong that if there were any criticism it must have been in whisper, for no opposition to his remarks was heard. The program was concluded at 6:30 p.m and the audience dismissed by the chaplain, Rev D C Coleman, and everybody went home reporting Prof McKinney Inspector General, left the following day on route for Denver Colorado.

Booker T. Washington and Du Bois Every Negro leader who preceded Marcus Garvey was made great by white men and their money Marcus Garvey, however is the only Negro leader who has not caused himself or his movement to be contaminated with the ideas dictates and money of any allen race. Master Roger Johnson, whom the president styled Marcus Garvey Jr is a lad of thirteen who gives promise of becoming one of the future leaders. In his recitations he has a style of his own, his readings being very effective if he continues in the way he has begun success will be sure to follow The remarks of the Right Honorable Marcus Garvey were a rare treat—he was just himself—a powerful deter mined, clean-cut speech. Once more directing the minds of the Philadelphia audience to the things that must be in the race for world supremacy by the races, and said that while the other races were quarreling and disagreeing among themselves the Negro must be on the alert, he must be active seizing every opportunity that will make him fit to take his place in that race of races and be first at the winning port. The meeting closed with the singing of one verse of America and one verse of Ethiopia, after which Mr Frederick Purnell joined with a very impressive prayer On the next day, the President General visited the offices at 1810 South street where he saw the most modern and up-to-date clinic with its beautiful dispensary. The clinic and dispensary was opened on the 1st of May. At this most beautiful medical and surgical old department treatments of all kinds are given to the members of the Philadelphia division, both medical and surgical. Arrangements are also made to look after their sick members financially by contributing out of a fund already established a weekly "sick grant" to every financial member. After this was explained to the President-General the shades were drawn on the windows, causing the clinic to be darkened, who Ir. Cooper, the physician in charge demonstrated the working of the X-ray to the President-General. He was given the opportunity to see his own bones. He was then shown the laboratory and dispensary Indeed the Philadelphia Division need brd proud of their president. Dr Lilian A.

Mr Jarrett held the audience spellbound as he led them step by step up to the present and pleaded with them to let the Red, Black and Green be their guiding star. Mr Jarrett said that he hoped that every Negro would make the pledge that he had made, and that pledge was anything that he could do by word or death to foster the cause of the U. N. I.

He said among other things, that the U N L A had done more than anything else in the world to organize the Negroes of the world, and felt that Mr Garvey was born to lead his people. Mra S. B. Woomack, the lady president, gave a stirring message. She explained the objects and aims of the U N L A. She urged race solidarity and asked that we do for ourselves what other races have done for themselves.

Prof William H Ferris. 50 West 135th street, New York Dear Friend and Brother — This is to inform you, according to promise, that I am at present on the northern side of Cuba in the little settlement called Sola (alone) This settlement, as far as I can understand, has a very bright future before it, both for itself and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the only organization this side of the globe It affords me the greatest pleasure to heroin announce that this conto-to-bo-chartered division of the U N I A was organized by the hazardous worker for the cause of Africa, Mr. Fitzgerald Greenridge, who helped in the organizing of the Newtuvia Division No. 42 and who also organised the Camagues Division that is at present one of the brightest stars in the constellation of the U N I A. Mr Greenidge, having heard of my presence in the city of Camaguey, lost no time in notifying me of his new enterprise. On my arrival here I found that this gentleman, though not much of a Spanish student, has made wonderful impressions on the Negro Cubans within his reach. On November 10, 1921, they had their election of officers, when Mr Greenidge was elected president. Mr Cyril A. Thomas, first vice-president. Mr Benjamin Vincent, executive secretary Mr Stanley Vines, general secretary Mr David C. Burke, treasurer. Mr Joseph Bruno, chairman of the trustees, and Frank Lowis, secretary Board of Trustees. These men together with Mr Edward Russell, have not spared any pains whatever to imprisons their fellow laborers with the vital importance of 'Africa for the Africans at home and abroad.' I am on my way to provinces of Santa Clara, Matanzas, Havana, and Pinar del Rio, where I expect to register the association as I have done in the provinces of Orlando and Camaguey. Give my best regards to all, while I remain, as ever yours fraternally for Negro progress. EDUARDO V MORALES.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, May 4, 1922. The people of Sharon Lina, Youngstown, Ohio, have taken another step toward the redemption of their motherland. Africa, by linking themselves up with the five million Negroes who make up the U. M. I. A. The people of Sharon Lina are desirous of seeing Africa redeemed, and the only way it can be done is by cooperation. We do not want to be left out when the great demand is being made, therefore, as we are all Negroes, we think it is wise to give our co-operation. We, as a race have been mistreated for the last 500 years, and the only way to procure justice is by co-operation and organization. Where is the organization? It is the organization to which we have just linked ourselves. Trusting that by making ourselves members of the U. N. I. A. and giving our support, financially, educationally and philosophically, that our Motharland, Africa, will be redeemed and our future generations will always enjoy life better than we have enjoyed it, we have done as above stated.

HERE WE ARE AGAIN UNIVERSAL CRICKET CLUB WILL GIVE THEM Second Annual Spring Dance WHERE? At the Blue Valley Dining Room 625 West 177th Street. At 9:10 P. M. on Saturday Evening, May 20 GOOD MUSIC IN ATTENDANCE THE NEGRO QUESTION By MAITHA J. JORDAN A question or problem like a compound, has generally two or more elements combined that give it its peculiarity. One element alone cannot make a compound neither can one figure compose a question, but the intermingling of these figures or elements gives us that complex substance or thing known as a compound or question. The solution of the so-called Negro question in America rests on the analysis of that compound made up of the Anglo-American and Afro-American elements and the amalgamation or synthesis, as it were, of the Afro-American and the African What historian can tell you of a Negro question prior to 300 years ago? With the birth of European greed for gold and territory came a Dutch trading vessel to the coast of Africa. Twenty Africans were destined to present the first page of a Negro question. Need I ask who made the problem? Had the African been of little or no value. It stands to logical reasoning trading in that line would have ceased. But, no, his innate worthiness of character made him continue to be valuable barter until a political issue broke his bonds. And just at this period the problem takes on larger proportions. What are the factors of our problem? you ask. You have a Negro enjoying freedom of body only and that, in face of what he has endured is dear to him but, sad to say, as far as some are ever wont to go. You have a Negro as easily led as a child right or wrong, and he has many leaders too. You have a Negro steeped in the idea of white supremacy, like dry bread soaked in water. You have a Negro who knows no God but a white God and desires no other. You have a Negro to whom a dollar is a fortune. You have a restless Negro who is disaffected with his lot as it is. But balancing all these you have his former white master. These are your factors and this is your problem. How are these elements to be combined to form one compound? The Caucasian says: "Since my ancestor was once your master, intermingling would be inadvisable, as you are my inferior." And he forthwith takes steps to prove the black man's inferiority. How does he do this? He uses the white press, the schoolroom, the theatre and even the church to assist him in his poor task. Negro children are trained every day to look up to a palakshin instead of meeting it on the level or looking downward, as the case may be. He has preached white supremacy so long, indeed, that some of us have contracted the disease which is worse than leprosy among us. He gives us the privilege (7) of paying taxes, but, due to our inferiority (7), we are not capable of holding office. He keeps us just irred up among ourselves enough so that he knows where to touch the mainspring if he so desires. He knows that a confusion among a people prevents a union of ideas. What is our loss is consequently his gain. For example: If the storekeeper next door has something you lack and need you are likely to attempt to purchase it. If he wants to sell, he may If he chooses to raise the price, he will It is his commodity. It is a case of the borrower being a servant to the lender in a way. This idea is not only ap corner, but to the office jobs, public buildings, places of amusement, schools, palicable to the little store around the colleges, etc. To my mind it seems quite natural that segregation and discrimination would develop out of this state of affairs. And let me say right here, Negroes, the harder you push on the door of "Discrimination" the tighter it will close against you. There will be no opening through any door for the black man but that door of "Race Consciousness," built on its own merit.

But let me say that that train was sidetracked fifty years ago, out of commission and the next train for you to catch—you who are yet patiently waiting—is "Carveism"—the only train headed for 'Negro Freedom' on the wheels of its own merita. Negroes if you don't catch that train you're lost. Let the new Negro, convinced of his own worthiness, so conduct himself that the world will feel that he is a man they already know it and as Shakespeare says. "Therein lies the rub. Let me say to you who faller by the wayside, the solution of the black man's problem is in his own hands" "Race pride". Regard of man because he is a man and love for his people because they are his people. We can't convince the other fellow of a thing until we believe ourselves. When we feel. The Negro (right or wrong). The Negro'—the effect of that feeling with shine about us like radium in the dark and that kind of a Negro—the new Negro—is not looking for social equality—why." The equality is his by divine right and the society of his own choice. The expression is an ill-used one anyway by the man who feels the rungs of the ladder (social) slipping under his feet daily I said in the beginning that the solution of the Negro question rested on the union of the Afro-American and the African elements into one solid compound. The molecules of the Afro-American element are scattered, sadly scattered, but thanks to a Negro Moses in the form of Marcus Garvey, they are coming together 400,000,000 strong, and the world will soon feel that the Negro is no longer a problem but a factor to be dealt with as a race among many! MEXICO CITY, May 15.—A dispatch from Nuevo Laredo asserts that General Felix Diaz, nephew of the late President Porfirio Diaz, with five men, left Galveston yesterday by boat. It is said the party took along arms and ammunition, which they expected to land at some obscure point on the Vera Crus coast. CONVENTION FUND OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR 1922 Every Negro Asked to Contribute to Help Make Convention a Success SEND IN YOUR DONATION NOW For the purpose of meeting the expenses of the Third International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, the Universal Negro Improvement Association today opens its "Convention Collecting List," asking every Negro in the world to contribute a dollar or more to meet the expense of this gigantic movement. The program of the Convention this year will be far in advance of that of the two preceding conventions. Important Commissions will be sent abroad from the Convention and a great deal of constructive work will be done and representatives sent to different parts of the world to carry out the commands of the Convention. Therefore, it is incumbent upon every Negro to contribute his or her bit to meet the tremendous expenses that will be inflicted upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The construction this year will surpass anything of its kind ever staged by any race. It is expected that several thousand delegates and members will attend the opening of the Convention in the first of August. Delegates will be coming from all parts of the world to take part in the deliberations of the Convention, and the British, French, United States, Italian, Belgium, Spanish and Portuguese governments have been requested to send representatives to the Convention for the purpose of stating their social policies in regard to their government of Negro and Negroid peoples under their dommion.

President-General U. N. L A. GOING STRONG continued from page 1 sure that Africa must be and will be eemed This association intends to unite the international Negroes of the world. Why is it necessary that we should unite? That we realize and understand human disposition that we realize that the various races of the world are striving by the compelling forces of self-preservation to protect themselves and their posterity. When we realize that the attitude of the various races despite the doctrines of humanitarianism and despite the doctrines of Christianity is that they must exist at the expense of the weaker races, when we realize that if we do not exercise our will to free ourselves we will be eternally lost it is therefore necessary that we form ourselves into one great movement or one association to break down those oppositions and free ourselves for it is only by our endeavors that we can hope to enjoy freedom and democracy and once more gain recognition and respect of all races and nations Does the Negro Know Himself Sometimes I ask the question—does the Negro know himself? We have left our future for centuries in the hands of other races. We believe that the world after listening to so much teaching of brotherly love and Christianity would treat all men equally but we realize that the world is a selfish world and in order to succeed in this selfish world we must first know ourselves. When we believe it is our duty to assist our fallen brother when we can see our suffering race despised and rejected by other races when we will be prepared to stretch down and lift up the struggling of our race when we will bend our energies in reforming those who are cast into prison and those who are wavelessly inclined then we will be setting a pace to be reckoned with by the various races and nations of the world. Africa Must Be Redeemed In conclusion let me say that Africa must be redeemed. We must carry our minds back into our motherland see the native in his primitive state and get from that state the purity of his life.

La administración de Wilson asumio por la violencia el domino de estos dos pequeños países en un momento en que se proclamaba del modo más persistente la política de manos afuera en Méjico. La política mejicana en la política de las republicas de Haiti y Santo Domingo no pueden ser concordadas. Tal vez es por eso por lo que no se ha hecho tentativa alguna para ponerlas de acuerdo oficialmente por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra El Lema de Nuestra Organización Ha Sido, es y Será la Emancipación Industrial y Política de Nuestra Raza en el Universo Entero—Nuestros Enemigos No Han de Tener la Oportunidad de Intervernir Interceptando Nuestro Paso de Avance—La Felicidad en Todas Sus Faces Pertenece a Aquellos Screa Con un Espíritu de Determinación Las verdaderas razones que hatras de las dos ocupaciones militares en las Antillas, no han sido jamas confesadas. Nos encontramos alli Hemos organizado alli protectorados por la fuerza. Hemos asumido deberes que es dificil abandonar de un instante al otro. Por irregular que haya sido nuestra penetración en el país desde el punto de vista de los derechos nacionales, debe concerde alguna benevolencia en atención a los efectos practicos y a las dificultades políticas de una returada prematura. Los Estados Unidos se hallan envueltos en complicaciones legales alli y estan intrigando los derechos de soberania de una pequeña república que, bajo nuestros auspicios, sué incorporada como una potencia independiente en la Liga de las naciones. No obstante, en una forma vaga, la intervención americana puede ser justificada parcialmente en la teoria de que esta realizando labor civilizadora Los grandes cambios que se operan en esta época de reconstrucción deben ser considerados con mayor seriedad. Estos influyen de un modo directo en nuestra vida como raza, imponiéndosenos por aquellos que dominan la situación económica y política de las naciones del mundo. Vivimos en un medio ambiente de inconveniencias y en condiciones extremadamente inferiores a nuestro modo de pensar y sentir. Las grandes inteligencias de otras razas delinean los planes y métodos por medio de los cuales han de dominar y gobernar la civilización En el reajuste de sus asuntos ellos, intencionalmente, limitan al Negro en sus actividades, convirtiéndole en un vasayo de las circunstancias, repudiadas por él, obedeciendo las disposiciones de la naturaleza. Por este medio nos encontramos siendo peones, sirvientes y esclavos en los distintos países donde nos domiciliamos. Tal excusa no es tan satisfactoria como podria serlo Si hay mejores razones para estas dos ocupaciones para su prolongacion el país debiera saberlas. El secretario Hughes heredando una situación desgrarable, se ha decidido a hacer declaraciones inas francas y completas Al mismo tiempo es un error táctico de parte de los que protestan contra nuestras aventuras militares antillas en lazar demasado estrehanchemente los casos de Haiti v de Santo Domingo El caso dominicano es con muco más defendible La consaión del gobierno dominicano fue más arbitraria Las razones políticas que se oculaban tras de la agresión eran más transparentes La atrapia del departamento de marina opero allí más abertamente El grito de emancipación industrial y política viene de los timidos millones de nuestra raza en Africa, de la parte sur y otras secciones de los Estados Unidos de America, de las Antillas y de Centro y Sur America. Todo esto demuestra nuestra presión económica y social en los cuatro puntos del globo. Estamos determinados a que los millones de Negros del mundo sean realmente emancipados de las condiciones del presente. Estamos dispuestos a no tolerar por mas tiempo la imposición de la política que debamos seguir, en el desenlace de nuestros propios asuntos. Deseamos uno libertad que nos haga hombre entre los hombres, tomando parte activa en las evoluciones supremas de la humanidad. Se aproxima la hora para que los millones de miembros de nuestra raza se unan con el objeto de ejecutar una acción concertada. La organización es una necesidad imperiosa en la realización de nuestro ideal. No debemos permitir que nuestras actividades como pueblo se vean divididas por mas tiempo. Con un programa fundamental debemos marchar adelante hasta conquistar la adquisición de nuestros derechos. El protectorado dominicano que da ser terminado sin ningún peligro de recaida del país en la anarquía En Haill la retrogresión seria más rapida y más segura. Seria más facil lograr que el guisinero diera el paso más corto y más seguro Lansing a Propósito de Haiti Los doce millones de millas cuadradas de nuestra herencia, el Africa, deben ser redimidas, la raza debe ser emancipada universalmente y esto solo puede conseguir por medio de un esfuerzo cooperativo de parte de todos y cada uno de sus miembros, revestidos con el espíritu de determinación La carta de Mr. Lansing al ena dor McCormick podra no ser una huella historia, pero no tiene rela ción alguna con el punto present en el memorial de los venticuatro abogados. No se disputa que hu iba justificacion para nurstra pr mera intervención y por consiguien te un se requiere una nueva explica cion. Con motivo de los grandes cambios que se operan rápidamente, los pueblos oprimidos tratan en todas partes de aprovecharse de las ventajas que dichos cambios puedan proporcionarles, los cuales no debemos dejar pasar por desapercibidos. Las distintas asambleas y conferencias llevadas a caba con el objeto de ajustar la política universal, han resultado infructuosas. No debemos por consiguiente prestar atención a lo que se haya dicho o hecho por las otras fuerzas humanas en su intento de regularizar la situación universal. Porque nuestra intervención tuvo lugar en Julio de 1915 y ha continuado ado por cera a de siecles años. La amenaza alemana en 1914 contra la doctrina Monroe de que habia Mr. Lansing, fue ocuidadona con el armisto que termino la guerra mundial. Ninguna otra nacion europea se halla en situación de tener designos algunos sobre Hattu. Y por consiguiente estan en libertad de proceder según nuestro mejor juicio y nuestro propio criterio de buena se internacional. Debemos atender de nuestro modo a nuestros propios asuntos. Europa, Asia y America pueden velar por los intereses de sus respectivas razas, siendo ya tiempo de que Africa tome un paso decisivo, despertando del letargo de tantos años. En nuestra lucha por la realización de este gran ideal hemos de afrontarnos con la oposición consiguiente, pero ésta solamente nos prepara a fortalecernos con el propósito de contrarrestarla. La presente controversia sobre Haiti no se lleva a cabor nuestro primera intervención. Es sobre la continuation de la compañanza que implica la regulación de la política haitiana y un tratado negociado por la fuerza, y lo cual muel el departamento de estado m el de la marina ha recubido autorizacion m mandato alguno de autoridad nungua v de los que no han rendido cuenta alguna. Nuestros enemigos nos afrontarán aquí, allá y mas allá pero hemos de revestirnos con la determinación que se revistió el pueblo frances durante la última guerra mundial al manifestar "Ellos no pasarán." Nuestra organización esta determinada a que los enemigos del progreso del Negro, los enemigos de nuestra emancipación, no pasarán con su esfuerzo de destruir la gloria de nuestras esperanzas. Si hemos de luchar cuerpo a cuerpo haremos uso de nuestra energia material y como Sampson derribaremos los pilares sobre los mesopotamios. El gobernio de los Estados Unidos se debe a si mismo y al mundo entero el sacar la cuestion total de Haiti de la obscuridad en que esta y hacer plena claridad en torno a ella El Dominio de Francia Sobre Sus Colonias FI Negro moderno intenta permanecer aquí hasta que el angel Grabriel suene de nuevo su trompeta. Durante su permanencia en este planeta está determinado como hombre, a tomar parte activa en los asuntos relacionados con la humanidad en general. Por nuestra falta de conocimientos, por nuestra falta de valor en el pasado hemos decendido a la categoria de entes; hemos sido avejados, despreciados y hasta odiados a capricho de los demas. El presidente Millerand esta de regreso en Paris después de un viaje inusitadamente feliz de cinco se mana por posesiones coloniales francesas de Marruecos, Argelia y Tunez Para usar su propia expresión, fue a llevar a esas posesiones ultramarinas "palabras de esperanza, confianza y gratitud de la madre patria". Que este mensaje sa sido recibido cordialmente y que el presidente Millerand y se sequito fueron calurosamente acogidos por todas partes en su recorrido es recibido con satisfacción como indicación altamente significativa del dominio que Francia tiene sobre sus colonias, que indujo a Lord Northcliffe, a su retorno del viaje en torno al mundo, de decir: "Debemos descu- Todo aquel elemento de nuestra raza que se ha puesto en contacto y asimilado el espiritu de nuestra organización, se ha posecionado de un nuevo valor el cual le ha de proporcionar un nuevo medio de vida. Para él actualmente todo es esperanza, para él no existe la muerte. Lqs valientes nunca mueren; ellos simplemente pasan de un esfado de actividad a otro. brirtos ante los esfuerzos coloniales de Francia." Argella ha aido por tanto tiempo parte de una Francia ultramarina que apenas se concedió a la recepción del presidente allí la misma importancia política concedida al triunfal viaje por Marruecos. Los cabilões de la zona española de Marruecos hanse mantenido en rebelion contra el dominio de España deade hace varios años y se preguntaba que efecto tal estado de intranquilidad tendría sobre los cabilões sujetos al gobierno de Francia. En la capital del sur de Marruecos, Marrakesh uno de los más importantes centros del islamismo en Africa, el presidente fue acompañado al entrar a la ciudad por el hijo del sultán y fué recibido en la corte por esta rodeada de sus principales consejeros. Una de las más extrañas características de la recepción, dice un correspondal, fué que el jauferial de las francas "no se mezclaba inarmónicamente con los hábitos blancos y los albornoces de los magnates nativos." Concezione considerable atención a los detalles del vinje. El presidente fuera acompañado en los momentos en que se la permito sus deberes por miembros de su gabinete y del senado y de la camara La caravana, cuando se ponía en camino, ocupaba varias mallas de longitud, y los functionarios eran mantenedos estrechamente undidos. Paris por medio de aeroplanos y aparatos inalambricos, telefonicos y telegraphicos instalados en automóviles especialmente montados para ello El presidente Millerand ha secundado habilmente la labor la v肢ada a cabo por el mariscal Imantey y el general Gallifet durante sus largos periodos de servicio en las posiciones coloniales africanas. I sus dos funcionarios han demontrado el mismo tacto y perciña como los gobernadores frances de las probaciones extrafanente mechas políticas y religiosamente de la Indo China. Francia ha sido recompensada por el gobierno que concede a sus colonias por la estimación en tiempo de paz sus esfuerzos por el apoyo de sus tropas coloniales durante la guerra - N.

La Explotnción del Petroleo en Las Islas Filipinas Segun noticias llegadas al departamento de Estado de Washington parece que se estan haciendo gestiones por concesiones petroleras en las Filipinas, debido a la nueva legislación que se ha puesto allí en vigencia, siguiendo instrucciones de Washington. Los gobernos extranjeros se habian quejado de que los Estados Unidos aspiraban a una igual oportunidad para sus nacionales respecto de concesiones petroletas en los territorios mandatados, hacerendo discriminación al mismo tiempo contra los extranjeros que deseban obtener concesiones en las Filipinas. La Standard Oil Company de Cali- iforma y otras compañas han ob- tenido concesiones en las lasis Filip- inas, y aun cuando se guarda el secreto en la materia, tienees enti- ndido que se han perforado varios pozos en la peninsula de Bondoc, v que en otros distritos hay ricas ma- nfestaciones Las perforaciones practicadas en varias partes de la isla indican la existencia de acide de parafina de la alta calidad El Salvajismo en Texas El acto salva de quitar la vida a tres individuos de la raza negra que曼andeles vivos a multitud de mas de cuatrocientas personas en Kirvin no concede al estado de Texas defensa alguna No solamente fue este un crimen premedido ino un harbariismo indemnible.

El doctor Mora, en su supraerroja obra M. leo y sus rev oluciones de él número de Negro que ha sido uno de los ele- mos que han entrado a con-tur- nual población (la de la Repub licia) ha sido miembro cortismo y hoy ha desaparecido casi del todos pues los cortos restos de ellos que han quedado en las costas del Puerto en las del Atlantico, son eute puente insignificantes para poder inspirar temor alguno a la tranquilidad de la Republica, mi terer por un clase influjo en la suerte de sus destinos En terminos casi semejantes se expresan todos cuantos se han ocupado de la población mexicana, desde el Baron de Humboldt hasta el Principe Rolando Bonaparte, limitando la influencia de la raza negra a las costas de Vera Cruz y Guerrero y a cuertas regiones donde se cultiva la caña de azucar en la llamada tierra caliente Al modificar radicalmente tales ideas vienen las estadísticas publicadas por el señor German Latorre con el título de Censos de la población del vitreinato de la Nueva España en el siglo xvi, en el tomo iv de la Biblioteca Colonial Americana Tres son los documentos contenidos bajo dicho título. Es el primero una Relación de todos los pueblos de Castellanos de la Nuestra Españla; y el último, una Memoria de los provincias y pueblos que están en cabeca de S. M. en esta Nuestra Españla que no se deben enajenar de la Real Corona sin encomendarla a persona alguna en el Arzobispado de Mexico. Estos documentos se encontraron en el Archivo General de Indias; en Sevilla y con excepción del segundo que va usurtiro por Luis Malabar los demas no están firmados. Los tres documentos deferidos corresponden a la segunda mitad del siglo xvi, sin podere precisar el aflo, con excepción del tercero que es de 25 de Febrero de 1560 De estos tres documentos, el mas importante para nuestro objeto es el primer. De el resulta que la población de los principales obispados de la Nueva España, en la segunda mitad del siglo xvi, era como sigue: Arzobispado de Mexico — Espafloles 9,495, Esclavos Negros 10,595, Mestizos 2,000, Mulatos 1,050, Obispado de Michoacan — Espafloles 1,035, Esclavos Negros 1,765, Mestizos 200, Mulatos 200. Obispado de Nueva Galicia — Espafloles 1,270, Esclavos Negros 2,375, Mestizos y Mulatos 150 Obispado de Tlaxacala — Espafloles 1,531, Esclavos Negros 2,958; Mestizos 100, Mulatos 100. Obispado de Yucatan — Espafloles 420; Esclavos Negros 265, Mulatos 10, Mestizos 20 Obispado de Oaxaco — Espafloles 560, Esclavos Negros 481, Mestizos 50, Mulatos 30. Obispado de Chiapas — Espafloles 400, Esclavos Negros 130 Si a estas cifras se agregan 3,000 espahioles trashumantes o cimarrones tenemos que, habia por entonces en la Nueva España sin incluir Guatemala, Costa Rica y Veragua, donde radicaban 3,000 espahioles mas un total de 17,711 espahioles. El numero de Negros en cambio, monta a 18,569, numero superior de los espahioles. El deseo de salvar a los indios fue la causa de la introducción de los esclavos Negros en America El celebra Cardinal Cianeros fue el primero que concedio permiso para que trajeran Negros a las Indias Occidentales en 1516 y a esta licencia se sucedieron otras muchas, concedidas rapidamente en las Antillas y algunos lugares del continente, hasta el grado de inspirar serros temores a los colonos españoles y en vez de suspenderse la importación de cbano humano solo se dispuso, como lo dice el cronista Herrera, que nadie pudiese tener Negros sin que tuviese las tres cuartas partes de cristianos y que estos estuvieran bien armados (continuara) Los Fabricantes Norteamericanos se Benefician de la Labor de Los Puertorriqueños — Los Trabajadores Acusul al Gobernador—Se Pide en la Isla un Jefe de Policía Nativo Los fabricantes de ropa norteamericanos han desarrollado un nuevo medio de reducir el costo de la fabricación de dichos artículos, utilizando la labor de los habitantes de Puerto Rico Grandes cantidades de trajes, camas, blusas, cuellos, pañuelos y ropa interior son enviadas a la isla en piezas va cortadas, para ser terminadas alla por costureras nativas, siendo re-embarcadas de nuevo a Nueva York y otros puertos americanos para su comercio. Los precios pagados por dicha labor son sumamente bajos, resultando a los fabricantes un beneficio de un 40%, luego de cubiertos todos los gastos De acuerdo con las resoluciones adoptadas por el comité ejecutivo de la federación puertorriquínea del trabajo, el 7 del presente mayo tuvo lugar la asambela convocada en el local que ocupa la institución en Bayamón El comite considero los informes presentados por el comite legislativo sobre las enmiendas que deben hacerse a la legislación pendiente en el congreso de Puerto Rico. Se consideró tan bien el expediente relacionado con la protesta formulada contra el gobernador de Puerto Rico. Reilly, a quien acusó la institución de haber violado la ley de mediación y conciliación nombrando a dos miembros de la federación libre como representantes del trabajo organizado para miembros de la comisión de arbitraje. Se sometió también a la asamblea el problema relativo a las rebanjas de los salarios y los empleados públicos y el alto costo de la vida, tomándose los acuerdos consiguientes. La conferencia celebrada hace pocos días entre el seflor ilenciado José de J. Tizol y el gobernador tuvo por objeto, según acaba de saberse, la consulta del primero al gobernador sobre el nombramiento de un jefe de policía nativo de Puerto Rico.

LEADER DISCUSSES WESTERN CIVILIZATION IN THE EAST ```markdown ``` Leader Eastern Province of West Indies Europe with its scientific developments that finally began a little over three centuries ago when the Guatemalan race settled itself down in political work and through which industries were energetically fostered with new fields discovered for commercial advantages for its benefit in North South and Central America and which later reached Asia and Africa is now causing serious concern by the Antilles and Africans as to whether Western civilization should be accepted as a success from a moral and humanitarian standpoint, particularly knowing that it carries with it a religion that is contrary to theirs and which is made up of different denominations, varying in conflict, conflicting among themselves with very improper interpretations of the Bible, yet under the same faith of Christ and God the Omnipotent plotters rather than rescuers. It would seem as though according to plans by certain members of the Caucasian race that preceding their plans to exploit the Christian religion was applied by missionaries of their race, who should better be termed explorers and who were sufficiently able to know rich and fertile land upon observation that may be exploited by their countrymen, with the most deceptive methods applied to influence the natives in their schemes who really accepted the invaders as friends without any intention to commit murder, rape assault and insult until later discoveries pointed to that direction on the part of some Europeans, which ultimately brought on distrust by the natives, with a spirit of retaliation that terminated in race prejudice, with serious outbreaks of riots and wars. As these conditions existed among the Africans and Asiatics, skeptism prevailed with intense hate against white man's civilization in many parts which may be observed and clearly understood through the books of white authors, as they themselves related while on the hunt for diamonds, platinum, gold, copper, ivory, pearl, iron or nitrate pyrites potash oils rubber, etc. Asiatics and Africans Began Traveling The white race must be considered practical, but to their own benefit, in this material age which should be based upon their religion as practiced to gain wealth. So much interest was prevalent in the minds of Africans and Asiatics that many of them began traveling to various parts of the world after the abolition of slavery to study conditions and to learn more about white man's civilization Before the 1914-18 World War took place it was nothing unusual to find in the various colleges and universities of Europe many African and Asiatic students. Maharajahs, Princes, 'thiefs and seamen were very often seen, particularly the latter, everywhere. To look upon these persons of dark skin, that were saved savages, cannibals and uncivilized, one could not help but realize a deception somewhere, for the culture and refinement on their part were most astonishing, which I particularly interested myself in studying. Africana and Asiatics Openly Condemned White Man's Rule Throughout Great Britain I heard many of these same Africans and Asiatics deliver lectures on conditions in their native land, which was quite different to what we were taught by the Caucasian race, and they openly rebuked the white man's methods of exploitation that caused serious interest among the British public, as also in other European land. Many of them would speak of their religion, which meant brotherhood of mankind that did not carry so many denominations as does the Christian religion. I was particularly surprised to hear a Mohammedan say that he believed in Christianity much more than the Christian does, in the spiritual and not so much in the material, etc. Because of a better understanding being reached among some races regarding human development caused through the world war and which caused all races to participate for a better democracy, light was thrown on Western civilization, which really explained to the darker people what that civilization meant. The climax of hostilities left certain nations armed to the teeth, with Europe's young, manhood shattered, while skilled scientific brains indulge in manufacturing poisoned gas and certain liquids, with a great increase of flying machines to be used in the next war that is seemingly fast approaching because of prejudice, jealousy and ulterior motives. The Eastern Hemisphere have become greatly alarmed, and for their own protection they accept in certain parts Western civilization. As time passes on the late Premier of Japan, Count Okunya's statement of 1917, regarding "the doctrine over all Asia," is seemingly beginning to bear fruit. The political change in China as well as India are matters that cannot pass the attention of the most ordinary minds. However, we hope that the most greatest statesmen and diplomats may reach some profitable understanding for the benefit of mankind. With Negroes joining the Universal Negro Improvement Association rapidly to bring about self-determination, I must consider this an interesting age to live in.

Eves., 8:15 WHITES SHOW AFRICAN FILM AT DIXIE THEATRE Movie Brings Out Virtues of Natives and Vices of White Plunderers By 8 A OVEN8 NEWPORT NEWS No. 10 1927 On Tuesday April 6 the Newport News Division 6 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association received an invitation from the manager of the Digie Theatre a white man to attend a series of "African pictures which were being shown at said theatre." At 130 the Legiona Roi Brouna and other auxiliaries met at Liberty Hall and in military format matched to the theatre. I watched carefully the pictures to see if it was a trick to weaken the morals of our members, but the first picture it was thrown was the island of Zanzibar on the East coast of Africa of which I could hear emarks all over the hall. It is a beautiful place and I would like to go there. They went on further to show Banyan a travel for several hundred miles in the interior of Africa in search of Livingston and was well protected by the natives that he came in contact with and in no instance a path was seen to run from the presence of the white man. Then they went on further to show where a little white girl had drifted away from her parents and went to a cave and made friends with a tigress and her cubs and lived with them for fifteen years before her whereabout was discovered by Stanley and his party and the whole picture worked out to show where white people were wild in Africa instead of Negroes, because this girl traveled through the woods about as fast as a Hudson Super Six travel up Broadway from the presence of the first white man after fifteen years absence from her father in the jungles of Africa of which she might have had several reasons for so doing. The picture has further worked out to show that if modern civilization were not kept constantly before the white man said that he could work seiously to maintain and to aspire to a height, though he reached not in less than a century, the white man would return to his cave period. So I have come to the conclusion that the U N F A is making progress along all lines because, when a white man will let into his place of amusement over a hundred people of an association free, he has been convinced that such an organization stands for something more than just meeting together.

WHENEVER YOU HAVE PRINTING TO BE DONE FROM A CIRCULAR TO A BOOK, SEND YOUR ORDERS TO BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN (Continued from page 6) brutal and savage acts are a blot on the nation's eautheon By BRUCE GRIT I from three degraded and harbours people with unkempt and unhallowed locks and bodies no burble to look upon have come some of the profoundest philosophers poets sages and statesmen known to Western civilization. Indeed there is no department of learning, however difficult it may have been and is in which Englishmen have not and are not excelling. In the drama in the art in the sciences and polite letters English scholarship has kept steady pace with the march of illiteration and progress and the genius and profound learning displayed by Britain a illustrious sona have commanded the admiration and homage of the enlightened nations of the earth. Shakenjeare Milton Spenser Chaucer Dryden Trace Ben Jonson Wordsworth Tennison Bryon Southey and a galaxy of others no less brilliant non famous whose names have come down in posterity have splendidly vindicated the ignorant and barbarous Britons of whom Cleeran and Caesar wrote in contemplative terms and they have immortalized their own names and their country a name and fame for all time come. Africa not Rome gave birth to Latin Christianity, says Dean Milman. Tertullian was the first Latin writer at least the first who commanded the public ear, and there is strong ground for supporting that since Tertullian quotes the sacred writings perpetually and copiously the earliest of those Latin versions noticed by Augustine and on which Jerome surrounded his Vulgate were AFRICAN Syrians kept up the tradition of ecclesiastical Latin Armenius too was in African When Britain was a bowling wilderness Africa was laying the foundation of the Christian religion holding aloft the torch of learning imparting to Greek and Roman the knowledge which those nations had so readily absorbed and generously diffused among the civilized nations of the earth. There is scarcely a branch of learning of which the dominant races of Europe and America boast which may not be traced to the learned Africans of antiquity who, when civilization was in its swaddling clothes were enjoying the benefits of a high and cultured civilization and were the schoolmasters of the world. And there is abundant proof of this statement to be found in the testimony of impartial writers and authorities who have some of them consciously and unconsciously owned the force of the genius of the African in the higher reaches of thought. The African' as has been well said by the celebrated Scotch author Dr R B MacArthur has been born again to scholarship Marvelous are the possibilities and achievements of this abused race A new day has dawned upon the Negro of America and of the world A nation has been born in a day The Negro has an inborn love for music He has a remarkable memory and an eloquence in speech that never falls to stir his country (men, He is tactically nationally educationally and religiously a new creature His actualities are marvelous his potentialities on' (and can rightly estimate The black poet Terence who is distinguished chiefly for giving polish to the Roman tongue gave expression to sentiment dae Rufus I Perry in his book The Cushite than which the Christian Age produces nothing grander. Home Hum Humant nil a me alienum pute. I am a man and oneider nothing foreign to me that relates to man. Victor XIV Pope of Rome who succeeded Elbutherius. A D 192 was an African and he was distinguished for his goal in an effort to effect ecclesiastical uniformity in the matter of the celebration of Easter. He even went so far as to threaten the churches of Asia Minor with excommunication and was appealed to for moderation by Iraniacus and others. There was also another African who was a Pope of Rome- Militades XXXII who was honored by the Emperor Augustine. A D 313 and constituted president of an ecclesiastical court held at Rome to hear and judge complaints of the Numidian Donatists a party having in the year 330 320 bishops. The Numidians, native Africans believed in home rule and were opposed to the irregular ordinations of a Carthaginian bishop. They opposed this innovation as untenuously that the Emperor of Rome found it wise to recognize their ecclesiastical authority. Some years ago when Mr. Thomas E. Watson of Georgia ran for the presidency on the Populist ticket he emulated the example of Robert Toomba by attempting to deride the intellectual capacity of the Negro Mr. Toomba it will be remembered questioned the ability of the Negro to conjugate a Greek verb acquiring the idea with glyphish glee, although Captain a Negro on the Gold Coast of Africa had graduated almost one hundred years before Mr. Toomba was born from the University of Wittenburg and distinguished himself by a theats in Latin which was of such a high order of excellence that it was published by the university.

Clothes carefully handled. No destructive acids used. We do Wet Wash, Rough Dry and Finished Work Negro also wrote and spoke fluently Hebrew, Greek Dutch, Bansorit and several other languages. Mr Robert Toumba ignorance of the Negro's ability was his misfortune, not the Negro's Mr Thomas Watson with similar cocksureness, while campaigning for the office of President of the United States of America—an office of great dignity the incumbent of which should at least know his history asked the questions. Is the black man superior to the white man' and What does civilization owe to the Negro' Then with the complacent conceit of his type answered the last query Nothing Nothing Nothing The black man is superior to the white man of the Watson type, and the equal of any other type of man that reads the earth. White men who read history with their prejudices are too small mentally to be superior men. As Watson seems to be inoculated with a great deal of race prejudice and this in part, may have accounted for his defeat for the Presidency. The black race can show from the record more that it has done for civilization than Mr Watson's race, and it can go further back into history than his race for Mr Watson's race cannot point to a single buried city a single monument nor can it produce any authentic evidences of its antiquity for it is a mongrel race in whose veins coulse the blood of nearly all the races on earth. The my pure white race in the world is the teutonic race. All other so-called pure white races are composite races mixed to the ninth degree with all other races including the Negro so that every man of every race on earth is cousin to the other. race on earth is Gusan to the other. The king of England George V. has coursing in his veins English, Scotch German and Danish blood. The black race is a pure race in those parts of Africa where there are no whites to containinate the blood of the black race and degrade and dehumanize it.
