No. 23 GEORGE HARRIS, FOR NOTORI COLUMN FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE. Greeting: A wicked and malicious attempt is now being made by the usual group of Negro opportunists to misrepresent me to the public in the matter of my recent visit to and conference with the Acting Imperial Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. One George Harris, a New York Negro who edits a little flysheet called "The New York News," and is, by the way, accidentally a Negro Alderman from the 21st Harlem District, is the prime mover of this insidious propaganda. In my Liberty Hall speech of last week I stated that the average Negro editor was illiterate and incompetent; that he was unable to understand public issues and measures of grave concern; that he was not prepared to deal with measures as they affect the community, race, or nation, but would generally delve into personalities and indulge petty spite in making reference to or handling such questions. The action of George Harris proves that my statement was quite correct. This so-called Negro editor accuses me of forming an alliance with the Ku Klux Klan, as also of surrendering to the Imperial Wizard of that organization. Where this ignoramus gets his information from I cannot tell, but I am constrained to believe that he culled it from a so-called report of a speech of mine which appeared in the New York "World" (a white paper) of the 10th instant. I delivered a speech in Liberty Hall on Sunday night, the 9th instant, and same was reported verbatim in The Negro World of the 15th instant. If anyone can point out to me in that speech where I formed any alliance with the Ku Klux Klan or where I surrendered the principles for which I have always stood to the Acting Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, then I will be willing to admit myself the fool and give George Harris credit for being the man that he wants to be. I explained to my hearers then, as I do now, that my visit to the Acting Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan was for the sole purpose of getting first-hand information about the Klan's attitude toward the race I represent. I wanted to know if the things said about and attributed to the Klan in its relationship with Negroes were true or not. I wanted to find out if it was possible to gather insurance from the Klan that that organization would adopt a different attitude toward Negroes, if it was really on their program to be really hostile to the race. I wanted a better understanding between the race and the Klan, so that there would be very little friction to the advantage of the Negro, realizing that the Negro, and especially in the South, was at the mercy of this powerful organization. He Himself Admits This conference satisfied me that an understanding could be reached with the Klan by which Negroes could be benefited, in view of the fact that the Klan does not only represent itself as an organization, but represents to a large extent the feelings and attitude of 90 per cent. of the white Americans toward the Negro race. I realized that the Klan was and is an invisible power and capable of doing a great deal of harm to our race. And that this Klan is capable of doing it has been admitted by George Harris himself. He said that the old Klan, and I know it as well as he does, was responsible for disfranchising the Negro in the South, for segregating and jim-crowing the Negro, for even nullifying the Act of Emancipation. Yet, after he ceded all this power to the Klan, he and others of his ilk believe that the best attitude to adopt toward the Klan today is that of hostility, knowing full well that the Negro has no more power today than even at the time when he was disfranchised, jim-crowed, segregated and his rights abridged by the old Klan. Northern Noise-Makers I repeat, knowing the power and influence and intention of the Klan, I interviewed them for the purpose of getting them, if possible, to adopt a different attitude toward the race and thus prevent a repetition in many ways of what happened during the days of reconstruction. Because of this, my effort to stave off an impending danger by a better understanding of the attitude of this organization, this unthinking bombast steps out in the full authority of his ignorance to accuse me of surrendering to the Wizard and forming an alliance with the Klan. This has been the attitude of a large number of Negro editors all over the country, and especially those editors who live in the North, who do not come in daily contact with the Ku Klux Klan, as the millions of our people do in the Southern States. These wiseacres and so-called race patriots remain 1,500 and 2,000 miles away and write all kinds of stuff against the South, against the Ku Klux Klan, and against people with whom they do not come in contact, leaving the people who really come in contact with them to suffer from the result of their senseless and hypocritical propaganda. Some Negro men who write and talk up North will make a big noise as far as Washington, but whenever the conductor requests of them to change cars they become as mum as an oyster. They will write all manner of things up North to sell their papers for five or ten cents and get the poor, unthinking people to swallow all their yellow stuff, without having one ounce of sincerity behind what they write and what they say. George Harris will abuse the Ku Klux Klan up North, and especially in New York, because he knows he is safe in New York, and, by the way, made safe by the strength of organization brought about by the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Harlem District. But why not take a trip to Georgia, to Mississippi or to Texas and write or speak just half of the things he writes and speaks up North? All Roads from the Four Corners of the 31st of August, 1922.

NEW YORK NEGRO CITY MISREPRESENT IS OF WHITE NE STINGING BUKE IS ADMINISTERED TO SENSELESS JOURNALIST GARVEY JNCOVERS PLOT TO DESTROY HIS ORGANIZATION MOVEMENT TOO POWERFUL AND SUCCESSFUL TO BE HARMED BIG GATHERING FOR CONVENTION form an alliance with the Ku Klux Klan or surrender to any white organization for the purpose of injuring Negroes. George Harris knows as well as I do that my visit to the Ku Klux Klan, as far as Negroes are concerned, was as harmless to them as if I had gone into Georgia and helped the Negro in some way or other to exercise the franchise. But this maligner and distorter of the truth does not want to present me to the world in a proper light. Because of his own petty spite and malice he will hold me up to public ridicule; he will try to make out that I am a disloyal Negro. And why? Such a sentiment has been built up around the Ku Klux Klan as to make it unpopular for anyone to say anything other than abusing the Klan. The Allies did not win their battles against the Central Powers by abusing them, but by adopting strategy and diplomacy in getting around them, so out against anybody or anything by abusing the individual for that thing. The George Harris method of getting around the Klan is an abuse them. How far he will get any child of six years of age can tell him. His method of helping the race is not mine. Therefore, I am not going out of my way to aggravate any organized group of white men who can do Negroes harm, especially economically, when there is a better way of settling the differences. George Harris does not employ five Negroes. George Harris does not make any effort to control any industries where Negroes can be employed. George Harris is but working for himself, and anything that will bring him revenue, either from his paper or otherwise, is good business for him. And at the present time it is good business among Negro newspapers to lambaste the Ku Klux Klan. But George Harris does not think, and probably does not care, how many millions of Negroes are affected down South by his undiplomatic and senseless propaganda. The Isolated Group But it is not only George Harris. He represents but a group of men who have been trying to discredit me for the last four years. They have practically exhausted every means to hold me up to the contempt of the public, but their every effort has failed. As they have failed in the many attempts before, so will they fail now. Harris, Du Bois and Roscoe Conkling Simmons of late have started to advertise that I am an alien, born in Jamaica, B. W. I. What in the name of goodness this has to do with a man's activities in the interests of his race I cannot tell. But I know this, that up to today they have exhausted every possible means of defeating me and failed. They believe that the only resort is to stir up national prejudice against me, in that I was not born within the borders of the United States of America. I am not disturbed one bit about this propaganda of theirs which seeks to inform everybody that I was born in Jamaica, because I have traveled the length and breadth of the United States of America and I have discovered that among the fifteen millions of my race only fellows like Du Bois, George Harris, Roscoe Conkling Simmons and those who have lived off the ignorance of the masses are concerned with where I was born. The great mass of people who are looking for leadership, who desire sincere and honest guidance in racial affairs do not care whether I was born in Timbuctoo, Iceland, Mars, or Jupiter. As a proof of that I have to state that the largest number of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which I am President-General, are to be found in America and are native born Americans. I know these people so well and I love them so well that I would not for one minute think that they would fall for the insidious propaganda of George Harris and W. E. Du Bois. All intelligent people know that one's nativity has nothing to do with great ideals, great principles. If because I am a Jamaican the Negro should not accept the principle of race rights and liberty or the ideal of a free and independent race, then you may well say because Jesus was a Nazarene the outside world should not accept His doctrine of Christianity because He was an "alien"; that because Martin Luther was born in Germany the world should not accept the doctrine of Protestantism; that because Alexander Hamilton and Lafayette were born in other parts of the world, America should not accept the benefits they bestowed upon the nation; that because Shakespeare was an Englishman we should not read "Hamlet" or "Julius Caesar"; that because Milton was not born in America we should not read "Paradise Lost"; that because Marciano was an Italian we of the new world should not make use of wireless telegraphy. This fellow George Harris, who claims to be a graduate of Harvard, Globe Lead to LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, to see for Years, Meet Me at LIBERTY HALL. Be at 1st. Meet Me at the 71st REGIMENT ARMORY, the Greatest Orator of the Race Speak for Lib is so simple that it seems ridiculous to waste so much space on him. But a great principle is involved; therefore, it is as well that we settle it now as at any other time. Harris is not only speaking for himself, but he is speaking for a group of men who have a subtle propaganda to put over. Why We Claim the Group Harris says he does not want to go back to Africa. Nobody is begging him to, but one of these fine days he will be glad to find somewhere to go other than where the attempt may be made lynch him. It surprises me to find how many of us who have been born out of the bosom of Africa fail even to pay respect to our mothers. George Harris does not like Africa, I suppose, because he has so much Caucasian blood in him, even as DuBois and Roscoe Conkling Simmons have. They think, and it is a vain hope that one of these days America will become the common melting-pot that will produce a race just like themselves, neither blak nor white, and that at that time they will be the only real Americans. Harris is waiting until Gabriel blows his horn. Because every white man in America feels with the Ku Klux Klan that so long as black and white remain here, the white man shall always have the upper hand—he shall always control the economic, social and political destiny of the nation, and that at no time will Harris and his crew get the opportunity of working out their sweet plan. We who are real Negroes claim Harris as our brother because we know he is not responsible for his condition. We are, therefore, satisfied to share up our rights, political, social and economic with him. We realize that his mother came out of Africa, and our mothers also came out of Africa, and if there is any racial claim of heritage, he and I and all of us who have one drop of Negro blood in our veins can claim no other spot on God’s green earth as our exclusive home than Africa. George Harris despises Africa because Africa has no legislative chambers to accommodate him at the present time, because he can not run for the position of alderman in Africa at the present time to get two thousand five hundred dollars or three thousand dollars a year. He despises Africa because Africa has not yet built her beautiful municipal, state and national buildings to accommodate the African politicism and statism. He despises Africa because Africa has not yet built her battleships, her dreadnoughts and her cruisers. He despises Africa because Africa has not yet built her Harvards, her Valas, her Princetona and her Fordham. And George Harris and As strong armies spoke, help Africa do that. But those of us who follow the University Improvement Association are willing to work towards the time when he able to open her arms to her suffered son and to give him to them; "Come home to thy imperialities, come home to thy government, come home and be at peace with yourselves and with the world." I suppose at that time George Harris will forget what he wrote about Africa as also what he wrote about Marcus Garvey. We may yet have George Harris putting his name on the ballot to be voted for as an alderman from one of the political districts of Timbukto, Togoland or Basutoland. A Childish Contention. But George Harris, in his article in the New York World, states that I am ignorant of Negro history because I know nothing about the part the race has played in the history of America. He went on to say that the Negro has established his right to America by the fact that he was with Balboa when he discovered the Pacific Ocean; that he played a part in the exploration and settlement of this continent; that black men were with all the Spanish discoverers and explorers—with Cortez when he went into Mexico, and with Coronado when he went to Kansas in 1541; that black men were with Fremont when he discovered gold in California in 1849; that Mat Hensen was with Commander Perry when he planted the Stars and Stripes at the North Pole. What an awful confession for George Harris to make! I think I know as much about Negro history as the average Harvard graduate. And I should like to inform Harris, however, that it was Peter Salem who killed Major Pitcairn, and not as he states. But what does this all mean? Harris does not understand what it means to be with a man and to be the man. The hod carrier is with the bricklayer or the mason, but he is not the bricklayer or the mason. The office boy carries the bag of the physician, but he is not the physician. The fireman throws coal into the furnace and heats the boiler, but he is not the engineer. And so Harris ought to realize that when Hensen was with Perry it was not because Hensen and Perry had decided between themselves in equal rights to discover the North Pole. When Negroes accompanied Balboa, it was not with the understanding that they were the equals of Balboa in the purpose of the expedition. When Negroes were with Fremont when he discovered gold in California in 1849, it was not with equal rights of discovery. Otherwise the Negro would have had his gold today. And as with the discovery of gold in California, so would the Negro be possessed of at least half of the discoveries made by those whom he accompanied on equal terms. To be with a man does not mean anything. You may be paid five cents a day to be with him. You may be with me because I feed you and care for you, but that does not mean that you are going to enjoy the benefits of life things. I am in quest of except there was an original arrangement entered into to start the spoils. George Harris has a wrong conception of history and a very poor understanding of the race question. If he studies it a little more he will probably in the future be better able to write an article in criticism of Matteu Garvey. Having wasted all this time with George Harris, I now have to remind the four hundred million Negroes of the world of the approaching Third International Convention. In a few more days New York will become the center of world activities among Negroes. We will have assembled here on the 18th August thousands and thousands of delegates from all parts of the world from Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, Canada, South and Central America, the West Indies and the forty-eight States of the Union. We are expecting to put over the biggest program ever undertaken by any race. It is necessary for every Negro to give his financial and moral support to this great convention. You can send by sending up your $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $10, $20, $30 or $100 now to the representatives of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th street, New York City, N.Y., U.S.A. We want all the help possible to carry on this great work and we are depending upon you to give it. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY BRITISH SUBJECT LYNCHED BY CAMDEN, N. J., MOB Case of William Jeffries, Mysteriously Murdered, Being Investigated by Philadelphia Division of U. N. I. A. Mutilated Body Found on Railroad Track—Negroes of Two States in Uproar Over Gruesome Tragedy—British Ambassador in Washington to Be Enlightened on Facts of Case BY THE WATCH DOG PHILADELPHIA, July 8 During the past week information was given to the president of the Philadelphia division in the case of William Jeffries, a native of Jamaica, British West India. It is alleged that the deceased, who at the time of his death was a man of means and owning a floating boat house in which he lived, had on several occasions been warned to leave that part of Camden owing to his color. The district is by no means considered respectable but the fact remains that the deceased was the only colored man owning a boat house who lived there among a number of white people. It is stated that one night during the latter part of June the deceased was called out. The night being dark, he lighted a lantern and opened the door. Immediately the lighted lamp was shot out of his hand. Jeffries was not seen until he was found dead on the railroad tracks not far from his place of residence. The consensus, supposed to be based on facts, is that William Jeffries, the deceased, was shot, a large stone tied to his body and it was thrown into the river. The president, however, after a full discussion of the case, failed to find a satisfactory explanation for recovering the body from the river and placing it on the railroad. Dr. Lionel A. Francis, president of the Philadelphia division, communicated with Austin Norris, the division's attorney. After interrogating the informants the president decided to ask that an autopsy be performed. Dr W. Cooper, chief medical officer of the Philadelphia division, was entrusted with the task. Not being registered in the State-of New Jersey, the physician communicated with Dr J. Marshall Vaughan of Camden, N J. who performed the autopsy. On the following morning the officers of the division, accompanied by Dr Vaughan, visited the morgue. They found the body of Mr. Jeffries in perfect condition. After careful examination the three medical men held a brief consultation and agreed that the deceased had met death by boul play, which decision was borne out by several wounds on the head of the deceased. Death was probably the result of an internal hamorrhage produced by the blows on the head. The reason for believing that the man was beaten to death by several people is that the size and physical strength of the dead man were such that no one or two men could have succeeded in committing the foul deed. Further proof of this belief is found in the fact that the man was not killed where he was founded, but had been carried there. On account of the size of the deceased his body could not have been easily and quickly carried from the place where the assault was committed to the spot where his body was found. None but those who killed him could have been interested in removing him from the place where the murder was committed to the railroad tracks. No Signs of Immersion On finding the body the greatest surprise was furnished by the fact that decomposition had not set in and there was no sign of bleaching of the skin, which usually takes place in the case of bodies taken from the water after a month's immersion. Neither was there any matting of the hair or mud or hard dirt on the clothing. From careful examination and by all appearances the deceased met his death not earlier than July 4 or 5. There was no gunshot wounds, and it is evident that he was not killed by a passing train, and neither did he commit suicide by drowning. As a matter of fact, he was not in the water at any time after his death. Therefore the information received that he was shot and then thrown into the river is not true. But that he was murdered cannot be denied. Who Murdered William Jeffries? Information is already to hand that a white youth who has already been arrested and acquitted without a trial had something to do with the murder and knows all about it. He himself stated after his acquittal that he was present when the shooting took place. He saw Jeffries jump off a plank on his boat house into a hill or dump near by, and after he disappeared the boat house was riddled with bullets. This white youth, whose name we will not mention at present, also showed strains of mammalian blood upon his shirt sleeves, and if Jeffries was not shot, as the autopsy positively shows, and if this white youth was not only present at his death, but took no part in bringing about his death, how came the blood stains to be on his shirt sleeves alone? The only logical conclusion that any same-minded person can come to is that this youth must have assisted in removing the dead dead from the place where he was murdered to the railroad where he was found. The sudden disappearance of this youth from Camden and rumors that he has enlisted on one of the U. S. public aid give additional reasons and can help to support our statement that the man was murdered and that this white youth had much to do with the crime. The Home Service in Action is a trustworthy that the Negro population in Canada with a few exor- priates be guided about into mur- gardies by up to mistake about the fast movements that Furious was troubled yes. these movements were by white men. MRS. MARY E. CASTOR MILBY CALLS THE WOMEN VOTERS OF MASSA- CHUSETTS—IN SESSION AT BOSTON who evaded justice by having so far succeeded in getting the white public to believe that the murdered man was killed by a passing train. Such is not the case. What is the motive? The love of money truly is the root of all evil, and by the fact that have come to light it seems to me that the lynchers of William Jeffries have got much of the roots. The deceased man lived entirely to himself in his boat house and was employed at a tannery. It is said that he was diligent, industrious and painstaking in his work, sober and thrifty, loved by those who knew him. He did not keep much of a banking account, but kept most of his money with him in the boat house. Since his death we are informed that a white man has occupied the deceased's boat house. If the above statements are correct there can be no other motive than robbery William Jeffries, being a West Indian Negro, not colored, but black, could not have any near relatives, that is, white in the absence of a white wife, and those who know him state that he was seen associating with white people only as far as he was compelled to at his work. If the two thousand or more dollars that he usually kept at home are missing and the home is occupied by a white man who was not related to the deceased, then the motive of the murder is nothing else than robbery We sincerely hope that the Negro population of Camden will not be perturbed in any way and that they will continue to be law-abiding citizens, but that the Universal Negro Improvement Association will surely and safely unravel the mystery of the murder of William Jeffries and bring the miscreants to justice. (8 Specially Contributed) There has, perhaps, been no more unique gathering of women than those who assembled within the historic walls of Charles Street Church, Boston, on the 6th inst. Not only was the day beautiful, but the assembly of delegates from all parts of the State helped to make July 6 a red letter day among the women of the city of Boston and of the State of Massachusetts Grace, beauty, culture, intellect—all did service in the highest interests of racial uplift, and the promoter and organizer, Mrs. Mary E. Castor Milly, has every reason to be proud of her rich achievement. This lady has insight and she knows that the key to racial amelioration must come through the mothers of the race, who, being responsible for the forming of the ideas of the young, will make of them bad or bad citizens or patrons. Moreover, in this workaday world, the men who are for the most part breadwinners, have little time to instill higher ideals in their sons. The future of the race, therefore, rests entirely in the hands of its women, and these, possessing as they do, greater imagination and foresight than the men, when brought to the point of realizing their political responsibilities, must of necessity rear men who will be a credit to their race and to any form of citizenship to which they may attain. It therefore follows that Mrs. Milly has done a great thing in convening this meeting and thereby forming the Women's State Organization. It is possible that the full import of her endeavor will not be appreciated until a later date, but this uniring lady has made history and the women of Massachusetts nobly seconded her efforts by answering her call. After the signing up of the delegates they adjourned for dinner at one o'clock, and promptly at two the session of the organization began. Mrs. Clement G. Morgan was unanimously elected chairman of the morning session, after Mrs. Milly had modestly declined, in spite of the urgent imperticiencies of the assembled delegates. She said in effect that she had accomplished the work of bringing the delegates together and having done this, she felt that the responsibilities of the chairmanship should be replaced in more capable hands than hers. Consequently, in addition to the election of Mrs. Clement G. Morgan, Mrs. W. O. Goodall was elected chairman at the 6.90 afternoon session. The evening program was one calculated to please the most fastidious Mrs. James D. Tillinghush, Mrs. W. W. Morton Wheeler, Mrs. Edna Bagnell and Mrs. W. O. Goodall all delivered most telling speeches which were punctured with enthusiastic applause. Variety was given to the function by the singing of Miss Wigelworth, who was in excellent voice and who can always be depended upon to draw an appreciative crowd. The same might also be said of the captivating manner of Mrs. Ethel Hardy; these two vocalists are Bassett's own and the city has THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JULY 22. 1922 HON. MARCUS GARVEY, GREAT EST NEGRO ORGANIZER IN THE WORLD He has merged the Negro into a great commercial and industrial organization for the redemption of Africa and for the betterment of the condition of the Negro in the United States. In this big undertaking Mr Garvey has been undermined by foes within and foes without. He has stood the poisoned attacks of the Negro scandalmongers and polecats, who have danced with hyena joy at the prospects of bringing about his destruction. He stands today like a great general on a field of battle who has put the enemy to flight and who has been crowned the victor—The Crusader, Baltimore, Md., July 15, 1922 SEC'Y-GEN'L TOOTE STORMS HOMESTEAD, PA HOMESTEAD, Pa.—The Homestead Division No 157 held a monster mass meeting at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall, 5th avenue and West street Hum Mr Toote was escorted to the platform by the Black Cross Nurses.

SUPPORTS TILFORD IN SIMMONS' ATTACK CHICAGO. Ill. July 1—My fellow townman, Mr J Jackson Tilford, had a word or so to say sometime ago about the illogical deductions appearing in the "world's greatest weekly" from the pen of one Roosec Simmons, whom the "Great Defender" heralds as the greatest orator and statesman of all times. Now I am not qualified to deny this claim, in that it has never been my pleasure to hear the gentleman, but one thing is certain, if Mr Simmons talks as he writes (I mean if he is as impossible on the rostrum as he is at his desk) I am satisfied that I have lost not a thing by remaining away from his lung airings. Mr Simmons tells us in so many words that he does not believe in the theory of creative evolution, especially where a Negro is concerned. He believes that in due time "our white people" will all get religion and say, "Come all, ye poor black wretches, and sign the pact of peace. America is for us all." Such a day may come, but present-day affairs fall to indicate it. However, time and time only can settle that ill-drawn prophecy, meantime we must not sleep. One more word concerning the great Simmona, and I'll close. He warns against listening to what he calls "the foreign Negro." No, he did not mention Mr. Garvey's name in this connection, but, like the Chicago Tribune, I shall leave you to "write your own editorial." Just think of it, a supposed intellectual making an attempt to classify Negroes from a national standpoint. Such ignorance is inexcusable. Black is black, and since we all are from the same primary source it is but common logic that we should all work together for the common good of all. What a truly wonderful work we could accomplish in confrontation! How we would progress! What a beautiful picture! But, on the contrary, never shall we ascend the hill of absolute liberty, the hill of unqualified freedom, until we have united entirely to that end. Let us not be discouraged, but rather let us be inspired, for it can be done. And we shall do it, come what may. COURT RECEPTION OF NEGRO RACE ON NIGHT OF AUGUST 10 Prominent Men to Receive Honors—Court Will Rival That of London or Potsdam—His Highness the Potentate to Confer Honors—Duchies to Be Created in Africa for Social Purposes—Big Shake-Up Expected at Convention NEGRO FARMERS MEET AT HAMPTON 25 Virginia Counties Send Representatives to Annual Conference at Hampton - Secretary Pugsley Speaks - States Relations Service Officials, Both Federal and State, Make Progress Reports By WM. ANTHONY AERY HAMPTON Va July 12—John B Pierce, field agent of the States Relations Service, who supervises the Negro extension work in Virginia and seven other Southern States, reported at the recent two-day Hampton Institute farmers' Conference that there are at work among Negroes in Virginia 24 farm and 7 home-demonstration agents, who are in touch with 24,000 Negro farm families and who, with 28 county advisory boards, have organized 305 community clubs in which there are enrolled 7,400 families. In 28 Virginia counties there are Negro farmers' conferences, who officers are the officers of county advisory boards, which cooperate with the extension workers to help improve the economic and educational conditions of rural Negroes. Every year in Virginia there are held 20-odd county fairs which serve an educational exhibition for the work of Negroes. Conference Membership Charles W. Pugley Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Dr C B Smith chief of extension work for the States Relations Service William B Mercier agricultural extension work, and Miss Grace E Fryinger who is in charge of extension methods in home economies—all of Washington D C—represented the U. S. Department of Agriculture John R Hutcheson and W P Moore both of Blackburg, Va. the State and assistant State directors of extension work, represented the Virginia College of Agriculture and Polytechnic Institute The remainder of the official conference membership of 146, in addition to the demonstration agents, was distributed as follows. One field agent 4 district agents 49 representatives of clubs, 18 members of county advisory committees, 40 members at large. This conference represented the vital interests of Negro farm families in 25 Virginia counties The home and farm-demonstration agents gave detailed progress reports on the constructive work which has been done in helping rural Negroes screen, paint, whitewash and repair their homes, buy better livestock, improve their flocks of chickens and poultry houses, buy labor-saving devices for the home, can and preserve vegetables and fruits, cultivate home gardens, organize clubs for boys and girls, as well as for men and women, hold outings for boys and girls, buy pure-bred seed corn; preserve eggs; arrange attractive exhibits, develop cooperative buying and selling organizations, build new schoolhouses and extend school terms ABOUT BLACK SWAN ARTISTS Two numbers by Trixie Smith head the July releases just announced by the Black Swan Record people. They are "He May Be Your Man, But He Comes to See Me Sometimes" and "Pennsylvania Blues." Both of these records seem to have sprung into instant popularity. After touring the country; since the latter part of October, Ethel Waters, Queen of Blues singers, will finish her road tour very shortly. Arrangements are being made to bring her to New York in the near future so that she can record another "Down Home Blues" before she departs with her company on another extended tour in this country. A new musical organization to spring into sudden popularity is the Baltimore Blues Orchestra, which is now doing exclusive recording for Black Swan Records "Why, Dear," and "Learn to Smile" are two fox trot numbers making appeal to dancers in the July releases. COURT RECEPTION RACE ON M Prominent Men to Receive That of London or P Potentate to Confer Created in Africa for S Up Expected at Conver It is being rumored around that the convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of this year is going to spring many surprises, that among the many important things to be carried through will be a thorough shifting of officers and offices, in that it is rumored that those in the know feel that better service could be rendered to the Negro people as a whole and the organization in particular by a shifting of some of the leaders of the movement from one section to the other, as well as from one department to the other. It is also rumored that a large number of distinguished members of the race in Africa, the West Indies, America and Canada will be singled out for honors at the court reception to be held by His Highness the Potentate on the night of August 18. Rumor has it that some of the foremost bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, CLAREMONT, SOUTH AFRICA DIVISION, HOLDS BIG FESTIVAL Others and members of the Cape Town and Goodwood division for their graceful support by coming out to Claremont to have given us such a lot of encouragement, which we hope that what has been said here this evening will never die in the hearts of those who were not members of the association yet and trust that they will show themselves in their true way by seeing that their names were recorded here this evening and so show that the seed that was sown here has brought forth good fruit and so swell the army under the colors of the Red Black and Green and at the same time thanking the workers in general, especially the ladies, for providing us with such nice catables and those who rendered us such lovely singing and music for the evening. On account of time being limited, the program had to be cut down to the last item, which was a song by Mr. Margarte. The number of names recorded were ten. This brought our enjoyable evening to a close by rendering of the Universal Ethiopian National Anthem ASS'T PRES'T GEN'L, WM. H. FERRIS, ADDRESSES NEW HAVEN, CONN., DIVISION June 29, 1922 While returning from his tour in the State of Massachusetts Prof William the A. M. E. Zion Church and the C. M. E. Church and the Baptist connection are to receive honors to be conferred by His Highness the Potentate. It is also rumored that several prominent and successful professional and business men will receive honors on the occasion. For the purpose of the development educationally, economically and politically of the Continent of Africa and the Africans, it is learned that the association will divide up the continent into duchies, and that several of the personas to be honored will be designated as social heads of the different duchies to be created in Africa. The court reception this year promises to eclipse anything of its kind held even between Europe and America. It is rumored that even the courts of Potadam and London will not be able to eclipse the court reception of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on the tenth of August H Fe.

The president then introduced the Assistant President-General who received applause, and said that in touring the States of Connecticut and Massachusetts, he observed that the U N I A have awakened the sleeping consciousness of the Negroes, for in every city he visited he found great enthusiasm. He and in part that he was invited to a party in Massachusetts, and saw about 300 Negroes dancing and enjoying all kinds of dances, and they were thinking of nothing else, but on the following day he visited Boston's Public Library and saw over 100 white men and women in the different departments studying accline psychology law and economics etc., and unified the Negro master higher education and places himself on an equal base with those to whom he is looking for political equality, he is counted as inferior. In conclusion, he said, he believed if black men under white leadership built the South, Panama Canal, a Canal Zone, black men and black leadership can accomplish same on the continent of Africa. I must say that Professor Ferris left a great amount of enthusiasm, and we would like to mention that we are striving to be among the leading divisions to be recognized as a working class in the machinery of racial uplift and African redemption. We also hope that the coming convention will mark the greatest era in history of the race, and the U N I A will, in the near future, reach the goal of success by the help of its able leader and the organized force of 400,000,000 Negroes.

Address World, 54-56 West 185th NEGRO WORLD --- MALONEY DISCUSSES THE QUIINTESSENCE OF LEADERSHIP Asks for Mighty Propaganda to Bring Out Danger of Out "Unhappy Division" and "General Waste Consequent on Inefficient Handling of the Race Problem" By A. H. MALONEY A study of the history of the race-problem in America and the various organized efforts making for its solution reveals a condition of inefficiency in the handling of the issue that is little short of criminal. The narrowness, the lack of vision, and the sycophancy of our leadership have been like a veritable millstone about the neck of the race. Men have complained—and justly so—of the difficulty of the task of holding the rank and file together. The matter needs to be turned about. The rank and file ought to issue an ultimatum to the little leaders to come together and work together for the common good. There's an old proverb which runs. Like priest, like people." There is a relation between the two which bears the earmark of casualty. The spirit of discord amongst the masses is the larger reflection of the same germinal spirit amongst the leaders. Each little giant has tried to corral his little following and to isolate them like so many bacteria for purposes of special culture in the laboratory while the heavy tread of distressed mortals passing by without the door where life abides disturbs the quiet of the sanctuary and evokes the censure and contempt of the elect within the portais. Indeed the condition of the race has been very much like unto a condition described by Jesus when he spoke of blind leaders of blind followers, all falling headlong into the ditch. There is absolutely no reason why the race should continue to put up with this state of affairs today. One could understand how such a condition could have obtained five or ten years ago. Then, the race possessed its power just as it does today, but it was not conscious of that power. The mind of the race, like the profile of the Bphinx, was dumb and motionless. It is not so now Race-consciousness, like a tidal wave, is sweeping everything before it, and its onward rush cannot be stayed by the command of all the little Canuteleite leaders that might try to arrest. The worm must turn. Already the people are questioning the author pep another, and antagonistic, group for selecting our leadership for us. This course of procedure has been the chief underlying cause of the disastrous state of our people. The leadership thus imposed upon the group has shown itself to be nothing but a rubber-stamp leadership, or, to change the metaphor, when it listened. It was like the dog in the Victor Machina trade-mark listening to its master's voice, and when it commanded, it was simply reproducing the command received from its master. The thing was preposterous. How it has perpetuated itself for so long a period of time is one of the strange phenomena of present day social life. If it had been perpetuated no at cos, to the masses, one could, at least, volunteer an explanation. But when it is noted that we were called upon, not only to accept this imposed leadership, but also to pay for its support by our minds and our means, one begins to sense the magnitude of this monstrous imposition upon the credulity of a people. Two reforms are imperative at this present stage of race-progress if we are to hold our ground already gained by toilsome evolution and bitter experience. The race, as a whole, must insist (1) that its leadership be of its own choosing, and (2) that the inefficiency and waste due to divided leaderships, and, consequently, divided groups within the race shall cease.

It has the generous altruistic ring. But is it economical? Consider the item of maintenance and upkeep of the many officers and offices at the many headquarters, consider the cost to the individual who would be sufficiently race-loving and generous as to be a member of all, consider the exactions of time such an arrangement would make upon one, consider the overlapping and duplicating of endeavor, consider the impossibility of convincing the masses of the people that these various units are not at enmity with each other. Names of organizations, like names of individuals under the ancient Hebrew system of nomenclature, carry connotations descriptive of certain psychological qualities fixed and clearly defined in the very nature of the object named. Distribution of interest makes for dissipation of energy A study of the science of progress reveals the fact that all beneficent organic changes have their impetus and inception from within. When the masses become fired with the flames of a controlling corporate ideal epoch-making social changes may reasonably be expected to follow Magna Charta was wrested from an unwilling despot by the superior pressure of an awakened people The French Revolution represented the birth-pangs of a new social and political order which, beginning in France, swept over the Atlantic, flooded America and bathed the British Isles as it receded. It was a movement inaugurated by the people. What is true in politics is true also in every other field of human activity. The great religious movements—Christianity, Mohammedanism, Zoroastrianism—had their rise among the masses of the people and were fostered by prophets springing out of the loins of the masses of the people. Real progress is the resultant of evolution from within. In order that this reform might come about it is necessary that it come from those who suffer from the consequences of the contrary course of procedure. It must come from the rank and file. If we had the faculty and the means so we would set in motion a great program of training for arousing the masses of our people to a sense of the great danger of our unhappy division and the general waste consequent on the inefficient handling of the race problem by a divided and antagonistic leadership. Of all the recognized organizations functioning in the interest of the race there is one and only one which by name and actual fact takes in the entire race throughout the world. It stands for all that each of the other organizations stands for, and far more. Its comprehensiveness, its numerical strength, its expression of the natural aspiration of an oppressed people at once places it in the position of vantage. The Universal Negro Improvement Association in calling together the Negroes of the World for the Third Convention announces its intention of discussing means and ways for the unification of the interests and aims of all Negroes. And it is asking the hearty co-operation of all the leaders of all the groups. Shall that co-operation be withheld and the race permitted to continue to suffer, or shall it be given and the redemption of the race speedily be realized? NEW ABERDEEN DIV.

CAMPBELL Philadelphia Division, July 1, 1922 "WE STILL HOPE THAT OUR COLONIES, NOW HELD IN TRUST BY THE ENTENTE POWERS, SOMETIME WILL BE RESTORED TO US." DR. HEINRICH SCHNEE Literary Editor The Negro World. N. Y. City Dear Sir—Your attention, that of the Rt. Hon. Marcus Gervar, the (1922) Convention of the Universal Negro improvement Association, and African Communities League, and the new Negroes of the whole world, I desire you to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest the above headlines, the words of Dr Heinrich Schnee, former Governor of the so-called German East Africa, published on page 2 of The Negro World. April 22, 1922 In his advocacy of the return to Africans of the once-so-called German East Africa, Dr. Schnee assumes that Senator Joseph I. France, of Maryland, means the transfer of the mandatory powers and not annexation. The scheme would seem feasible and desirable, provided the United States control would mean a continuation of the open-door policy, admitting the co-operation of all nations. This, he added, would be exactly opposite to the present regime, which excludes all but the nationals of the occupying powers. "We still hope that our colonies, now held in trust by the Entente Powers, sometime will be restored to us." The words "our" and "restored to us" are very significant! Now, I think and feel I am voicing the sentiments of four hundred millions of Negroes the world over, in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League when I ask Dr Heinrich Schnee these questions Why 'our' and "restored to us" in your "wenser" advocacy of Africa for the American Negroes, and the Negroes at home, and all over the world, generally called Africans' Why an open-door policy? Why, still, German East Africa or German African Colonies? Does Africa for the Africans mean "restoration" to Germany of the once-so-called German East Africa? Again, who is to be the Restorer? Would you approve of the "immediate evacuation" of the present holders of Africa, namely, Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey? Methinks I hear you answer these questions with an emphatic certainty, and, in fact of these present exploiters of Africa, to which you, too, until the recent world wars were a party. Now that you have been ousted from your contributory exploited position, do you, despite the principles and doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League, which are "Africa for the Africans," still hope sometime your long held, so-called German East Africa will be restored to you? If your "hope" is not a "bold-and-daring disregard for the intelligence of everything African," then it is the saddest mistake of my life, and I would, then, ask what might such daring be called? Dr. Schnee, allow me, again, to voice the sentiments of four hundred million Negroes of the entire world, on behalf of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, and say: That apart from the future commercial relationship of Africans with Caucasians of any nationality, an also, with any other race, the plan of the Grand Architect of the universe is what it ever was, is, and ever shall be—"Every race to its tenta, O Israel." The "unrest and turnoll" of races, today, not so much of nations, must, and does mean none other than, "except every race holds possession of its own habitat or continent—world—wars and rumors of wars must and ever will mar this world's peaceful progress, and these wars are the only safe and certain means for the final destruction of the powers-of-might." Let the Caucasian or any other world-power of the present day first remove the beam that is in his eyes, and then shall he see clearly the mote that is in his brother's eye—not forgetting that, "not by him, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosta, shall the mighty be brought down," for so sure as night follows day, will confusion spread over the-power that be-of-might." They must eventually come to their end, sooner, too, than most of them expect. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding fine." R. B. G. B. BLACKETT.

Lagoon, Nigeria 27 AFRICAN CHIEFS ON VISIT TO PARIS Each of Picturesque Group of Sovereigns of French Colonies Has Two to Five Wives PARIS, July 9. — Twenty-seven African chiefs, the sovereigns of various French colonies or protectorates in the Sudan, Senegal Dahomey, Mauritania and the Ivory and Guinea coasts, arrived in Paris today. The huge black men were dressed in multicolored silk gala costumes. Some of them carriet immense spears and all wore sworda. Many of them had been decorated with the insignia of officers of the Knights of the Legion of Honor for distinguished services on behalf of France during the war. The chiefs presented a picturesque appearance as they faced batteries of photographers at the Gare de Lyons Chiefs Baloum Naba, conqueror of Togoland, and Adadji Abdoukane of Senegal, who were active in the enlistment of their followers and in the preparations for fitting them out for service in the European war, were most prominent. The chiefs were accompanied by their wives, each having from two to five. All of the men were more than six feet tall, muscular and fine specimen of manhood, especially the younger among them, any of whom seemingly would be qualified pugilistically to become a "black hope." The chiefs ranged from aged white-haired men to youths in their early twenties. CORRECTION 732,000,000,000 population as entered in the speech of Hon. Rudelph Smith of the 16th inst. should have read 7,722,000,000. America boasts of a few strange phenomena, not the least among these is Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons. For a few years before the war Simmons "Near-do-well" was considered America's foremost clown. But at the beginning of the world's war an incident occurred which caused him to take himself seriously. When Wilson declared war against Germany not every Negro in America was over enthusiastic over the matter, and a few of them expressed quite frankly the attitude of the Negro toward the whole Wilson program. One of the Negroes to so express himself was Rev. Noble, former pastor of the Chestnut Street C M. E. Church, Louisville, Ky. Simmons happened to be present when Rev. Noble spoke as a true lover of his race, and saw in his remarks a means to feather his own nest. He immediately rose after Rev. Noble had concluded his speech and launched out into one of the worst tirades against the minister imaginable. He succeeded in convincing a white reporter of the Louisville Courter-Journal, the most influential white daily of the South, who happened to be present, that Rev. Noble, who set forth some of the things that our government should do for us if it wanted us to be patriotic, was an unpatriotic and dangerous Negro. Col. Henry Watterson, editor of the Courter-Journal, wrote an editorial on the incident which was quoted extensively throughout the South, and almost overnight Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons, who had never done anything but made a failure at two attempts to run a newspaper, was heralded as a "war hero", a reputation he got for assassinating a member of his race who had the manhood to express to Uncle Sam the just demands of the Negro. Negroes who had always got a good laugh out of dimmons were now anxious to hear him in something "serious" since a big Southern paper had boosted him. For the first time in his MONROVIA (NOT LIBERIA!), CALIFORNIA, OPENS ARMS TO MARCUS GARVEY MONROVIA (NOT LIBERIA!), CALIFORNIA, OPENS ARMS TO MARCUS GARVEY By J. A. DINGWALL Tuesday, June 6, 1923, goes down as a pivotal date in the history of Monrovia, Cal. This "Gem City," with its population of more than 4,000 whites set off by a sprinkling of 200 blacks, peacefully slumbering under the shadows of Mt Wilson, capped by its observatory, and Mt Lowe, with its mile-high scenic resort, was stirred and put to thinking anew by a logical and convincing array of facts connected with the relations, limitations, growth and aspirations of the two most important race-groups in the building of the American nation. A select choir rendered vocal and instrumental numbers to the enjoyment and delight of all, while Ion Howard Folke, chairman of the occasion, with becoming dignity made the announcements, interspersing them with well-rounded sentences. This gentleman of culture, ripe years and broad experience left little for efficiency to add to the execution of the program. Doctor J A Dingwall, President of the Division, in a few pointed paragraphs introduced the occasion and extended to all present the welcome of the Monrovia Division, using for a topic "The U N I A as I understand I—Marcus Garvey, Its Founder, as I Find Him." Tersely he referred to the comprehensiveness of the plan of the association, supplying a long-felt need in the heart of the thoughtful Negro, emphasized the outstanding sincerity of the President-General, and upon this quality in particular hung his hopes for victory. He heen introduced his honor, the mayo of Monrovia, who in a felicitous sinn expressed his deep interest in all movements for the general good of humanity and paramount devotion to every enterprise that goes for the uplift of Monrovia and the West. He complimented Hon Marcus Garvey on his vision of empire-building in Africa, wished for him the largest possible success, and gave him the freedom of the "Gem City." The Lady President, Mrs. G V Edwards, here recited one of her original poems. "Don't Worry," which was most appropriate, well taken and heartily applauded. The principal of the Monrovia high school and superintendent of city education was unavoidably absent, but furnished an exquisitely complimentary communication expressive of his large-heartedness and the man he has proved himself during these many years of his public career. He deepened the already abounding affection of the colored people of Monrovia when he stated with what joy, from year to year, he signs the diplomas of colored graduates of this renowned center of education. The readiness with which he offered us the auditorium of the institution for the occasion evidenced again his sympathy with this world-wid movement. Here the chairman made a strong and most timely plea for the support of the principles of the U. N. I. A. as set forth in the Constitution and General Laws. He advocated the establishment of an African Empire by those physically, financially and educationally prepared to return to the life Simmons showed some "business" life. While he was not able to make twenty dollars a week before the war, he, knowing how eager the Negroes were to hear a Negro whom the white folks boosted, began to charge fabulous prices to hear himself tell what loyal Americans all of us were. No one ever stopped to consider that while the rest of us as loyal Americans were making real sacrifices for the country, Simmons was using the war as a means of profiting, for he was selling for fifty cents a brand of oratory which he could not have got off on an audience for nothing if the war was not in progress. He went up and down the country telling the white people what "Good Niggers" we were, how patient and long-suffering, and a whole lot of rot which goes with war time oratory, and got away with it. But when peace was declared with Germany Simmons made the mistake of thinking that the people would still listen to his junk. He arranged several speaking tours and was gladly heard by the empty benches. It was thought that this would have convinced Simmons that he was dead and that he would take his rest in the sepulchre of his own making. But, lo and behold, we find this champion of white supremacy grabbing columns in the Chicago Defender and trying to get by with his sine rot, forgetting that now is peace time, that people will not be sent to jails for thinking and speaking their sentiments, and that what they want is not something funny but the truth. Simmons has not discovered yet that the Negro is not satisfied and will not be until he is a man among men. Such Negroes as himself need to be pitted. They are absolutely dead among self-respecting Negroes, and depend upon the good-will of our oppressors to keep them alive. Of course, Rescue "Cackling" simmons is not worth the time I have taken to write of him, but I thought best to take it so that when he caches you may know what kind of bird he is. J. B.

Motherland, while those too far advanced in life, or otherwise unfit to enter the national fabric directly, he exhorted to contribute, from their homes abroad, toward the one great purpose of a recognised central government for the Negro race. He then introduced the Hon. Marcus Garvey, when a most representative audience arose and, amidst rousing applause, welcomed the man of the hour. The President-General spoke with all the earnestness of a general charging his men preparatory to a mighty conflict. He covered as nearly as he could in one effort the salient points in the history and scope of the occasion, repeatedly thrilling his audience with flights of oratory as he led them, literally hanging on his lips, through the happy scenes of that coming empire. Emphasizing the constructive idea in the progressive man, he referred to the twentieth century achievements of the white man the world over in building cities, railroads and every conceivable production of modern civilization, then asked, "What have WE done for ourselves?" The Negro, he said, has not been fully alive to his interest and possibilities as a nation builder, and should now attempt seriously for himself what the other races have accomplished, and make his place felt and recognized in the family of nations. He spoke of the new Negro and the ancient civilization and glory of the sons of Ham, complimented the Japhetic stock for snatching the glory of Egyptian development and rising from cave-dwellers to the foremost men of earth. Amidst roaring cheers he concluded his masterful address with an earnest appeal for larger membership, and more intended interest in the work now before the convention of the hotel citation. At the close of his speech a most exquisite floral contribution was presented him by the Rev. Mrs. Palmer, who in her choice words, personifying the women of the Association, U. N. L.

JOHNSON'S ADDRESS T is significant that in his address at the Harvard University I commencement, June 22, Mr. Mordecar Wyatt Johnson, a white man, took the opportunity to pay a glowing tribute to the great work being done by the Oniversal Negro Improvement Association Says Mr Johnson, whose remarkable address 1s printed in the Nation of July 19° + “Another and larger group among us believes in religion and in the principles of democracy, but not in the white man’s religion and not in the white man's democracy. It believes that the creed uf the former slave States 1s the tacit creed of the whole nation, ind that the Negro may never expect to acquire economic, political and spiritual liberty in America, This group has held congresses with representatives from the entire Negro world to lay the foun- dations of a black empire, a black religion and s black culture; it has organized the provisional Republic of Africa, set going a multi- tude of economic enterprises, instituted branches of its organization wherever Negroes are to be found, and binds them together with a newspaper ably edited in two languages.” George Harris and wave-riders of his ilk may Say this and that about the “reactions” of the Garvey movement, but scholars and thinkers of the white race realize the extent of its phenomenal growth and its meaning yn the arena of world affairs. A NOTE ON TURKEY N a letter to Duse Mohamed Ali, Mr. Arthur Field, secretary I of the Anglo-Ottoman Society, London, has some very’ out- spoken thing to say on the Turkish question. He writes: “The Angors Uri..:mcnt regards the eager acceptance by the British Government of Yowell's lies as proof of a pre-determined policy. They now regard Major Yowell’s misstatements as ‘English lish calumnies’ in view of the greedy, biased and credulous way they were greeted by the British Government, and how the Amer- ican repudiations from authentic sources were ignored. The Angora Government does not intend for a moment to allow Allied com- missioners, still technically enemies of Turkey (since no peace as yet is arranged) to send a commission into the country. They say it is a commission whose attitude and decision is determined in ad- vance. ‘They regard it as a commission appointedsto investigate English lies and slander, and therefore it would be too ridiculous to allow any Englishman to ‘investigate’ them The Government of Angora says no ‘Turk could agree to such a ‘trial,’ derogatory to every sense of national sovereignty. “They fully expect the Allies to say that this refusal arises from dread of the facts. They reply: ‘The facts are manifest lies, 1t is entirely a question of national rights andedigmity. Suppose England were told that a commission of neutrals was going to inquire into English,atrocities in Ireland, what would the English Government say and how would st act? “Tell the commission to go to—Texas! That, in plain words, is what the Angora Government gells Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Curzon. The Angora Government is not afraid of them; it will not yield to the veiled threat of robbery of the territories of Turkey. The powers will filch as much as they previously determined to filh, or as much as they are able. “Perhaps they will,find, in the end, that they will for all their sntrigues be able to hold as much of Turkey as they now hold of Pérsia, Transcaucasia or Russia.” . A HINT TO THE ANGLO-SAXONS Fe is rousing the ire of “democratic” Anglo-Saxons over the way she has been treating her colored subjects. From Paris we learn that “twenty-seven African chiefs, the sovereigns of various French colonies or protectorates in the Sudan Senegal, Dahomey, Mauretania and the Ivory and Guinea coasts, atrived in Paris today, The black men were dressed in mult colored silk gala costumes. Some carried immense spears, and all wore swords. ~ “Many had teen decorated with the insignia of the Legion of “Honor for distinguished services on behalf of France in the war. * “The chiefs presented @ picturesque appearance as they faced Astteries of photographers at the Lyons station, The chieftains “were accompanied’ by their wives, each having from two to five. , All of the men were more than six fect tall, muscular and beautiful Specimens of manhood, some looking qualified, pugilistically, to be- $78; 8""Black Hope’ = Me ii SThey. ranged: from aged white-haired men to youths in thelr ‘barly.twen takes a ati tave'eoue ofr aa‘ that the awarding of iM rig Godcouss to Rene Marans “Batousls” is part of a French igtoh te pandes' ty the’ vanities” of'the Negro so that in the next pe hicts prep lietic ‘anthropologists tell us is to be a war of the oer Hire Wt rene Bquatoral Africa will fight willingly CRN eats nt j Se ce esas eat isto takethe-hint ‘As « matter of Paar eet ees REN Ih Berean hes Paar Ala Astra ke + Beata ie ENS ale Pep fk Bes eat: Bee inte 4 AEE heh hte THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1922 THE NEGRO THEATRE te tie cometericn ear on Broadway “Shuffle Along” has commenced | "=”© erage of the United States.

His revolution and deposition of the Manchus not only came as a bolt from the blue, but his surrender of the presidency to the late Yaun Shi Kar was another surprise, only to be followed by his dramatic assumption of administrative powers in the North with the subsequent sacrifice of the lives of his countrymen in a very doubtful adventure Dr Sun Yat Sen | was educated in the West where he has many European friends of power and undoubted influence—I_ wonder? ee e So the Pope has “maintained his position” with Great Britain as supreme protector of the Christians in the Holy Land and an agreement 1s to be concluded with the Holy See in which the Jews will not be accorded any advantages over the Christian or Moham- medan population which forms the majority in Palestine The stand His Holiness has taken in the interests of justice and the peaceful scemen of a perilous situation is the only one possible to the Holy See if the Holy Father's office 13 to be regarded seriously It is to be regretted,that the Holy See has not taken a more active part in the protection of its religious followers in Africa =-2 ut 19 to be hoped that this will be but the beginning of the Holy See's justification of its usefulness as the vice-regent of Him who taught peace and good will among mankind. The Pope is also to be commended for his recognition of,the rights of the Mushms. But for the much villified Turk there would have been few Christians left in the Holy Land for the Holy See to protect because it was only by reason of the strong and impartial hand of the Turk thar [the various Christian denomihations did not exterminate them- |selves before the doors of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre when ‘they held their bloody contests as to who should have priority of worship at shstertide The Pope insists that the Holy places be he from any Jewish control whatever to the extent that no Jew be appointed to any commission which controls and ad- ministers them. This will be a bitter pill for Lord Balfour and the other British supporters of the mandate I am not sure that the Jews are anxious to control or be appointed upon any com- |mmission that controls the Holy places. Their “Commission” and “Control” are far more likely to be administratively exercised in places less holy, perhaps, but far more remuncrative than Palestine o 8 London reports state that a considerable concession by the British Government to France on the Near Eastern question may result in another meeting in the near future. France proposéd that representatives of Great Britain, Italy, herself, Greece and Constan- tinople and the Angora Turks meet at Ishmid, on the coast of Asia Minor, to discuss « settlement of the Greco-Turkish confiict. Great Britain agreed in principle, subject to three conditions: First, the meeting shall not be at Ishmid, but at some ather convenient place near by; second, Greek warships should have the right to search French merchantmen for arms for Kemalist Turks; third, the Allies should agree to the principles laid déwn by the last Paris meeting of Allied Foreign Ministers on the Near East for a Turco- Greek armistice, followed by the Greek evacuation of Asia Minor The New York World correspondent believes that the matter may be again deadlocked by the refusal of France to accept some of the conditions, particularly that relating to the search of French ships. Obviously there is no objection on the part of Great Britain that the Greeks shall be supplied with arms by sources well known to Downing Street, but that the French should take a hand in supplying the defenders of their country with arms is quite a dif- ferent story. “Arms for the Greeks and death to the Mushm!” is Curzon’s motto. France, by conceding the ‘second condition, would be surrendering her sovereign rights to Great Britain and her Greek proteges. In any event, Curzon and company are not over-anxiaus for any settlement which will be favorable to the Turks: They have made impossible armistice terms which the Nationalists could not accept in the vain hope that while they delayed Constantine would strike a decisive blow and so end the conflict in favor of Greece. Finding this scheme impossible of accomplishment, the Yowell “Armenian Christian Massacre” bogey was trotted out with like results and now, in order to further delay the settlement of the Near East, the question of search of French merchantmen is introduced whilst there is no embargo placed on British merchantmen carrying arms to the Greeks, Verily the ways of the English “diplomat” are like the grace of God which passeth all understanding. . 8 * » Thirty-four thousant{ of the two hundred thousand Senegalese troops who anbwered the call of France in the Jate war lie buried in the cemeteries of the French war front. Thirty African Kings have come to France as the guests of the French republic, and these Kings, whose sons as well as the sons of their subjects, fought with a bravery at least equal to that of the white Frenchmen, have begn given a second-rate reception quite out of accord with their regal digmty. They have been lodged in barracks on the outer boulevards of Pars and they have been driven about on their sight- seeing tours on automobile buses These Kings are educated and Itheir French 18 said to rival that of the habites of the boulevards. | Yet, now that the war is over, French officialdom, by rubbing | shoulders with official Anglo-Saxondom, 18 apparently sinking its | much-vaunted “Liberty, Fraternity, Equality” in the interests of Anglo-Saxon prejudice and discrimination Fortunately neither the French people nor the French press share this view. Both of these clements are mindful of the sacrifices made by the sons of Africa im their defense of the republic. In this connection Senator Diagne et Senegal, who was High Commissioner for the African troops enrolled in the war, has taken up the agitation on bebalf of his royal | countrymen who, finding official France unmindful of the duties of | hosprealty, have taken the matter in their own hands and are now “de:ng Pans” accordmg to ther own ideas of a holiday in France [it 1s indeed regrettable that matters should be brought to such a Paes but wt serves the useful purpose of eninihtenment and dist lusionment. No body of white officials are really anxtous to accord equality of treatment to any group of colored men, even though they be potentates Perhaps this shorttsightedness of the French will manitest itselt when the republic requires black troops for its next war.

The General appears to helieve that dynastic ur monarchistic forms are likely to bring stability to Germany and attributes the murders ot Ge-man Republican Ministers to Com- munist organizations because he clauns “Murder orgamzations do not exist in eafnest political circles” The General's mémory ts short” It was undoubtedly due to the plotting of earnest political, Germany and the inevitable murder of whe Archduke and Arch- duchess of Austria that led up to the late war, and (32 German, whether he br Monarchist or Communist, 18 but a German 7 THE PROGRESS OF THE NEGROES OF WATERBURY, CONN.

It ls this undefended accusation that is constantly being buried at the Negro. Boiled right down it comes to this: The Negro te gen- erally lasy Glspositionsd. There are many other epithets that have been flung at the race at times, such as “ehiftiees,” “untrustworthy,” and many others, However, we will not go into them all at present. Take only the frst ona Y/br. soe hae caly to look ot the maaterial success of the race on # whole to dispute thin, And dispute it vig- erously Looking on things in a gen- eral way we are of the opinion that these charges usually originated from the South.

Every man Ia atriving for success. Of course ite @ very tall order. But given the Fight chance and opportunity much can be accomplished. But that's the main point. That chance ts denied. That !s why the exodus of the Southern Negro to the North is #0 great. His chances North are much larger. And when we return to the toptc of lasiness. A mere foothold on life these strenuous times demands a tremendous amount of effort We- can cite many instances whers with nothing as @ start, and with « background of slavery. these people can look back and have something to show for the years of thelr ttreless effort - Of coures there te no denying thet even North there ta quite lot of praju- Aico to be encountered.

Write ‘ 54-56 West 135th St; New York City, New York : ROBERT L. POSTON | As wae expected the address of tho President General at Liberty Hall on unday. July 9, om the Ku Klux Kien has evoked the usual response®from the cole “ed press. The sentiment runs 1m *Me direction: “This is not = white man's country”, “We fought at Cart- sal", and one paper, the New York News, went so far as to say that Marcus Garvey has entered into an alliance with the Ku Kiux Kian. of course, all of this was eaid and done with a view of making {t appear that Marcus Garvey hed committed an awful crime to have Interviewed the acting Imperial Wisard of the Ku Klux Klan and to have ascertained hie atti- (ude toward the Negro, But now that the noise hae all subsided, let us re- view what Marcus Garvey actually sald and what some of these cheap editore tried to make him egy When Mr. Garvey said that thie 1 @ white man’s country he did not mean that the fret man who spilt his blood for the inde- pendence of this country was not a colored man, that the labor that helped butld 1¢ was not colored labor, or that We-are not entitled to consideration, sto. But he meant that this is a white man’s country, thet the white man's Ideas prevail, and that bis will is supreme What consolation will we get in denying this fact when we are not In a position to prove the contrary The difference between Marcus Garvey and bis critica ls that he seca a fact ‘and recognizes it apd does not spend his energy in indulging in a lot of ally sentiment, He has the aame right to wish that this country was not a white man’s country as the other fellow has, but, when hie wish runs counter with the facta, reason Aictates that he must Fecognize « fact and move elther over it oF around it, and, with the odds #0 terribly against us in thie country, around it affords a better way out Mont of our leaders havo been teaching the people that this country holds something for them which it was not intended that they should have, and which the white man would spill every 4rop of his blood to keep them from getting. But, chioroformed with the idea that the white man Infinite in hie mercy will some day open up and give them a chance to be presidents, gov- ornors, senators, etc, which are the reasonable aspirations of man, the masses have been entirely atripped of Initiative and have ceased trying to de thinge on their own account, Marcus Garvey tells them that they must rely upon their own resources and not de- pend upon the white man who has his their Snancial strength. But that’s away trom the point. It le our firm bollef that the frst nationals are un- aware that thelr capital ls 80 much in ‘evidence. No one Itkos to put hla cards on the table, face up.

More of this anon. On a recont visit to the home of our Editor in tat graveyard, Brooklyn, we saw the following names’ Adolf Ham- Derger told the world at large that he was 4 restaurateur, Martin Pick was an undertaker, while Mr Alf. Suthpin was & carpenter and contractor, Mr I. Shullack was a painter's contractor and Tony Spinetti dealt in fresh maca- ront and spaghet. Lun Bands full trying to make ends meet for his own race The Ku Kiux Kian te frank enough to admit what we all ex- parlence in our every-day lives and what the majority of the white people are too cowardly to admit, that the white man intends to rule here and that anyone who is thlaking otherwise ‘Ie liviog in @ fool's paradise. Some ‘Negross are blaming Mr Garvey for Getting the confession from the acting Imperial Winard like the fact would have dean any lem a fact had Mr Clarke choosen to have kept it in his breast lke the majority of the white people who think it Instead of giving Ie to the world in bold utterance and |thus enabling us to prepare ourseives to face an actual condition. As to the ‘oharge of the editor of the New York News that Mr Garvey has entered into ao alliance with ths Ku Klux Klan, no one who knows of the high purpose of this great man will take this seriously And when upon top of this it ts ob- served that this same editor took occasion tp that article to touch upon the bireaplace of Hs Excellency Slar- ous Garvey (a thing which he vover faile to do whonever Re has an oppor- tunity to create prejudice In the minds of those who iy weight on such small matters as birthplace, etc.) the article ‘as worthy of serious consideration falls into further disrepute.

The following menu was served at the dinner at Young's Hotel, Boston, July 1, 1922, given in honor of Bruce ("Grit") by his Honor Mayor Quinn of Cambridge, and five of his friends—M F Hamlin, Eqg., Mrs. Edith Shade, W H Wilkes, Eqg., Mrs. Alice Steems, J E Brume ("Grit"). Tenderloin steak, mushrooms Chicken gibbets, tartar sauce Half cantaloupe Ice cream Rolls Cafe au lait Cigars After dinner the party drove to the studio of Mr J. A. Skeetes, 80 Windsor street, Cambridge, Mass., who is painting in oil a life-size portrait of Hon Marcus Garvey Mr Skeetes is a graduate of the Royal Academy of England and has done some exceptionally good work with his brush. He has been at work on the portrait of Mr. Garvey for more than a year, and although the portrait is not completed it is a remarkably striking and life-like picture of the great orator and agitator Mr Skeetes has painted in oil for St. Bartholomews Church, in Cambridge, a group picture of the twelve Apostles. He is a painstaking artist and he is devoted to his art. We saw many fine specimens from his brush on the walls of his studio, some of them finished and some of them unfinished, but all of them showing careful attention to detail as to color and proportion. We all agreed that J. A. Skeetes is going to be heard from creditably as an artist in the near future. He studied under French, English and German teachers, and he takes infinite pains with his work. We spent some time with this gentleman and his interesting family, and then drove over the road traversed by Paul Revere on his famous ride and into Lexington and Concord, where we saw the monument erected to commemorate the battle between the colonists and the British invaders. On June 28 I was invited and accepted an invitation to read a paper before a club of white and colored ladies and gentlemen at Roxburg, which is interested in providing a yearly scholarship for Negro students in a Florida college, and spoke on the subject, "The Making of a Race," which seemed to please my auditors. I want to Massachusetts to rest, not to socialize, but my old friend Minor F. Hamlin was determined that I should have little of it during my all too brief stay, every minute of which I enjoyed immensely, and I now return heartfelt grateful thanks to all the friends who contributed in any way to the pleasure of my visit and for all the courtesies, official and social, shown me by his Honor the Mayor of Cambridge and the good friends I met there on my visit. One of the things that disgust and annoy me is the contemptible and narrow and senseless thrusts which some Negro editors make at black men in their newspapers who happen to have been born outside of the United States by alluding to them as "foreigners?" These same Negro editors themselves only part American by courtesy of the white man, for we are all Negroes when we run afoul of the white man. We are all descendants of a foreign group stolen from Africa by the white man and we are even now just as foreign to the white man as we affect to believe the Negro not born on this soil is to us. The American-born Negro who looks down on the foreign-born Negro with a supercilious sneer and nibbling contempt is an ase and the A SENSATIONAL SUCCESS WHICH IT HA Bato THE NEGRO NOVEL CROWNED BatoualA THE NEGRO NOVEL CROWNED WITH THE PRIX-GONCOURT By RENE MARAN Selling 8,000 copies a day in France by the public with such keen interest, here depicted a new world, not a fance with new people, new customs, a bean a people who live primitively, marry a not for pleasure alone, but as the lion eat food.

"KATOUALA" is the Iliad of the African Negro. But it is the Iliad of a people who live in our day. The author, Rene Maran, is a French Negro, who holds a position in the French Government in the country about which he writes. FOREIGN NEGROES foreign-born Negro who is the victim of the silly babblings of these American Negroes' should treat them as imitation snobs, ignorant of their history and origin. To the white race all Negroes, no matter where born, are simply aliens, strangers and sojourners in the land, enjoying by sufferance of that race only the few privileges they have and which emboli or them to regard as foreigners their own kith and kin, many of whom have more brains, more character and more manhood than the silly asses who allude to them as "foreigners." The foreign Negro wherever he is found in America is progressive, ambitious, manly, courageous, and he does not fear the face of clay. I know any foreign Negroes, and I am proud of their friendship. I honor them because I have invariably found that the slavish fear of the white man is not one of their characteristics, which is unfortunately too true of many of these silly Negro American editorial asses who are constantly prating about foreign Negroes and trying to throw monkey wrenches into the machinery of any movement attempted by them. In the final test which is to come sooner or later, all people with black and brown faces on this side of the Atlantic at least will be rated as Negroes no matter what they may call themselves. The period of disillusionment has arrived and the Negro race and colored people who have been obsessed with the idea that the destiny of 95,000,000 white people and that of 15,000,000 or 20,000,000 black and colored people is co-ordinate and identical are going to discover that it isn't so. And what is more, it will never be so. On leaving Liberty Hall on last Sunday night I heard an enthusiastic admirer of our Marcus ejaculate to a companion "Marshus Gyarvey spilled a mouthful tonight wen he say 'at the warriors up North 'atights at long range never goes South to do any fightin'" What's the use of us Negroes North, South, East or West keeping up the deception that we are an integral part of this nation and will some day come into our own in the nation, sharing in common with white men, whom we erroneously call our "fellow citizena," all the burdens and benefits of citizenship? There never was a greater illusion, and more the pity that so-called far-seeing and clear-sighted Negro leaders have not been able to see that for the past half-century the race in this country has been living in a fool's paradise and sitting on the edge of a volcano which is now in process of eruption. Sooner or later the Negroes of the United States of America will discover that they have no more chance of attaining to relative position socially, politically and otherwise with the white men in America than has a cat to pass through Gehenna without being horribly singed. It isn't in the books and it never will be. "What fools these mortals be." A race is a family. The white race is an exclusive family, a much larger family than the black and colored races in America. It has possession of the best part of the household in which we also are domiciled, and it is going to maintain possession and the prestige it has always exercised in the household. Academic discussion as to its right of possession is not going to avail. It has possession, and possession is nine points of the law. What are we going to do about it? What can we do except whine and make faces? 95,000,000 white people in America are not going to give up their heritage to 15,000,000 or 20,000,000 black and colored people. They do not have to. Brethren, the die is cast. If you would survive the impending crisis, you must begin to THINK BLACK, for every white man in this country is thinking white.

He is more dangerous than wild beasts or the enemy's carnon during warfare. He is born in manure and filth and lives in filth of every kind. There is nothing too filthy for the fly to eat. After he leaves the manure pile, the vault and the spittoon he goes into the kitchen and dining-room and walks upon the bread, vegetables and meat; he wipes his feet on the butter, bathes in the baby's milk, and takes a rest on the baby's "comforter" or bottle nipples that may be lying on the table or in the baby's carriage. On the wings and hairy feet of the fly are hundreds of disease germs of all kinds.

One is comfort for the body. The other is satisfaction for the mind and soul. No race of modern times has gained this comfort and satisfaction to such full degree as the races of the ancient Orient — who made a deep study of how to live. We, of the New World, have one by one adopted the things these ancient people discovered, and always we have found them good. Gradually, we are realizing the importance of many ancient things which up to now we have been too busy or too careless to think about. One of these is the use of incense, which was considered by the ancient people as vital in living a happy and successful life. Incense—in Years Past and Today Incense was burned in the homes and at important meetings of the wise old Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians and Hindus. And the Greeks and Romans of classic times, who in many ways were the most civilized races the world has ever seen, made the burning of incense a regular part of their family life and their public ceremonies. And now in our day there is a tremendous revival of interest in the use of incense, and a great curiosity as to the strange powers which for centuries have been associated with its burning. A few people today still look upon the use of incense as a mere fad. They have never properly looked into the matter. For true incense, prepared according to ancient formulas, and made of the real ingredients, is admitted by many of the foremost thinkers of the day to have strange influence upon those who come within its circle. Incense Purifies the Air The least important advantage of burning incense in your home is that it purifies the air, and replaces any obnoxious odors with a penetrating, delicate, stimulating fragrance that delights the senses. This benefit alone makes it advisable to use incense to drive out foul odors from the sick-room, kitchen, "den" or bedroom, whenever it may be necessary.

SURGEON-GENERAL DEPARTMENT DIPHTHERIA Definition. An acute contagious disease excited by the klebs-loffar bacillus and characterized by moderate fever, glandular enlargement, great prostration, anemia and the formation of a false membrane upon certain mucous membranes, especially those of the throat and adjacent parts. Causes: Three-fourths of the cases occur in children before the tenth year. Damp, cold weather and bad hygienic surroundings favor outbreaks of the disease. Chronic catarrhal affections of the nose and throat distinctly increase the susceptibility to infection. The immunity afforded by one attack is of short duration. The false membrane is usually found on the tonsils, pithars and pharynx, but it may extend to the mouth, larynx or nose. The bacillus, coming in contact with the mucous membrane causes a coagulation necrosis of the superficial cells and an inflammatory exudate, the whole constituting the false membrane. The latter usually has a grayish yellowish appearance, is firmly attached to the underlying tissues, and when forcibly removed leaves a raw and bleeding surface. The lymphatic glands near the seat of infection are swollen. Focal necrosis, due to the action of the toxin, is found in the liver and other organs. The heart, idneys and the liver are the seat of a fatty degeneration. Interstitial hemorrhages are frequently observed and are the result of hyaline degeneration of the capillary walls and thrombotic obstruction. Diphtheria may be divided according to the location of the exudate into: 1. Faucial 2. Laryngeal According to the severity of the attack it may be divided into Period of incubation two days to a week. Symptoms: The disease commonly begins with chills, moderate fever, ma- If you are troubled with Exema, Fimple, Blinkheads, "Bumpy Hair," Ringworm, Barber's Ish, Falling Hair, Dandruff and Tucker got a tube of Carbureted Jayrins skin Cimentment.

When used during the entertainment of a few guests, or at large parties, the curling waves of fine perfume rising from the incense burners give a new and fascinating atmosphere to the whole room. They seem to act directly on the spirits of everyone present, and make them happier, livelier, wittier, more sociable. Besides, incense makes your hospitality different fromanybody'selse—it makesyouandyour home stand out distinct in the minds of your visitors long after they have departed. Incense Soothes the Nerves Helps the Mind But true incense has powers beyond those of giving social pleasure. It is used by hundreds of great writers, philosophers, artists and other creative geniuses to give inspiration to their work, and to float their minds up and up into new realms of imagination and accomplishment. Every man and woman can use the subtle, delightful stimulus of incense to help them in their mental work or to give them comfort and peace after a period of tiring activity. For secret society meetings or services, incense is widely used to give the spirits of the dear departed a physical means of communicating with the living, or at least making their blessings and helpfulness felt by those within the magic circle of the incense waves. only by buying a true incense, com- cious substances specified by the JAMES' TEMPLE OF ALLAH, which indalwood and Wistaria.

MARCUS GARVEY DEFENDS HIS POSITION IN RELATION TO INTERVIEW WITH KU KLUX KLAN LIBERTY HALL, Sunday Night, July 16 1922.—As a sequel to the recent interview had between Hon. Marvous Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, details of which Mr. Garvey gave out in his address in Liberty Hall last Sunday night, there appeared in the New York "World" of this morning's issue an article written by George Harris, a Negro member of the Board of Aldermen of this city, and editor of a little paper known as the New York News, a colored newspaper weekly published in Harlem. The article, to say the least, is a dastardly and malicious attempt to misconstrue the motives of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leader, and shows to what extent the enemies of the movement who are incidentally enemies to themselves and to their race, will go in order to foster their sinister designs. In the article Harris charges that Mr. Garvey's interview with the Ku Klux Klan was an effort to form an alliance with that organization, and alleges that he (Mr. Garvey) misrepresents not only the attitude of the native-born colored Americans but 75 per cent. of the foreign-born when he surrenders to the Imperial Wizard of this bloody and bigoted hand of outlaws. In defense of his position and that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the Hon. Marcus Garvey tonight before a vast assemblage of followers and friends of the association, who boiled with indignation as the article was read, launched a broadside attack upon Alderman Harris which literally knocked to amithereens his abortive attempt to misconstrue the motives of the interview with the Ku Klux Klan and to discredit the leadership of the Universal Improvement Association in the eyes of the world. Mr Garvey's denunciation of the alderman was a most withering one and will no doubt make the alderman and erat- while editor seek cover and gloat over the consequence of his crass ignorance and indiscretion and think several times before again rushing madly into print to denounce a man whom he does not understand, and an organization which because of his rank density he understands but little. The article in its entirety exhibits a narrowness of mind, shortness of vision and incapacity of sound reasoning on the part of Harris which is rather unbecoming to a man of his station in life who poses as a representative of his community's interests and a political leader of his race and, moreover, does not reflect a medium of credit upon the noble traditions of Harvard University, of which seat of learning he claims to be a graduate. Judging from the frequent applause which Hon Marcus Garvey received as he made his onslaught upon Mr Harris it was evident that the audience indorsed and gave their approval to every sentiment which he expressed and that the alderman's name will hereafter be very unpopular among the thinking class of Negroes who are striving to better the condition of their race. To quote extracts from the masterful address delivered by Mr Garvey would not do justice to it, hence the address in full is given below, and must be read to be appreciated. The other speakers of the evening were Hon R. L. Poston, Second Assistant Secretary General, and Hon Rudolph Smith, Leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies. A large number of the executive officers were on the platform, and the Minister of Legions, Capt. C. E. Gains, who arrived while the meeting was in progress, having just returned from an extended tour in the interests of the association, received a tremendous ovation. Following are the speeches: HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: I hold in my hand a clipping from this mornings New York World. The clipping is an article by George Harris, editor of a little colored paper by the name of The New York News, published in Harlem. I am going to read the article, so that you can better follow the comments I will make. Nevertheless this will remind you of what I said last Sunday night when I spoke on the Ku Klux Klan. When I said that some of the Negro newspapermen of this country were practically senseless and illiterate, to the extent that they fail to understand public measures and public issues. That when great questions are to be discussed, instead of discussing them on their merits they delve into personalities, and thereby the measures or issues are lost in personal wrangles. I therefore feel justified tonight in maintaining the stand I took last Sunday relative to the newspapermen from this platform. Mr Harris writes as follows. GARVEY IGNORANT OF NEGRO HISTORY, DECLARES HARRIS Prominent New York Leader of His Race Says "Allen" Misrepresents Them Dammably [George W. Harris is Alderman for the 11th District (Harlem) He was graduated from Harvard in 1909, studied for two years in its law school and on the advice of Booker T. Washington took up journalism. After an apprenticeship with the Boston Transcript he became editor of the New York News, a leading Negro newspaper.] By GEORGE W.

Do Your Duty == Reap the Benefits IT PAYS TO PATRONIZE YOUR OWN Garvey misrepresents and only the attitude of the native-born colored Americans, but 75 per cent. of the foreign-born when he surrenders to the imperial wizard of this bloody and bigoted band of outlaws. There is no objection to Garvey and his followers choosing Africa as their adopted home, but there is objection to his pandering to the prejudices of bigots and traitors opposed to the principles of the republic He would sell the birthright of 15,000,000 native-born loyal Americans. Garvey, being a foreigner, does not know that the Ku Klux Klan is the same organization that outraged the mothers of the present generation of colored Americans, murdered its fathers, desecrated the black dead and their graves, and coming into power in reconstruction days, nullified emancipation, established Jim-crow cars and riveted political disfranchisement upon the black race in the South. Resente Garvey's Blur When Garvey says this is not the colored citizens' country in the same sense that it is the country of every other loyal American, black or white, he knows nothing of the history of his race in this country. He does not know that black men played a vital part in the explorations and settlement of this continent, that there were forty black men with Balboa when he discovered the Pacific Ocean and that Balboa found a tribe of black men then living on the shores of South America. He does not know that black men were with all the Spanish discoverers and explorers, with Cortes when he went into Mexico and with Coronado when he went to Kansas in 1541. He does not know that colored men helped establish the first settlement in Jamestown in 1507 and that Africans were with Ponce de Leon at St Augustine in 1565, that Estevanico, the black explorer, with three Spaniards, explored the present State of Texas. He does not know that black men were with George Washington in the French and Indian Wars, that a black man was with Daniel Boone in Kentucky in 1774 and gave up his life as the first one on that expedition, that a black man, Crispus Attucks, was the first to shed his blood for American Independence in the Boston Massacre in 1774, that Peter Salem, a black man, was the first to die in the Battle of Bunker Hill at the hands of the British Major Pitcairn, that a black man by the name of York was a vital part of the Lewis and Clark expedition to the great Northwest in 1807 and that York's dry river was named after him He does not know that black soldiers were paid tributes by George Washington and his generals in 1776 and by General Jackson for their defense of New Orleans in the War of 1812, and that black sailors were with Commodore Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie in 1812, that black men were with Fremont when he discovered gold in California in 1849, that black men to the number of 178,000, taken from the trenches and the farms of the Rebels, in coats of blue turned the tide for the Union and destruction of slavery. Cities History of Blacks He does not know that the black Americans have played this vital part in American history from its pre-historic beginnings down to the planting of the Stars' and Stripes at the North Pole by Commander Peary with his black companion, Mat Henson, by his side in 1909 He surely cannot know of the 10th Cavalry in the Indian Wars with General Custer nor of their black companions at San Juan Hill in 1898 with Theodore Roosevelt, nor does he remember the service of the "Hell Fighters," the "Buffaloes" and their 400,000 black American companions in the World War. When he says that "America is a white man's country" he does not take into account that black men to the number of unnumbered millions gave 250 years of unrequited toil and martyrdom as slaves to the settlement, the industry and present wealth of the South and the nation. We say again that this interloper among colored Americans damnably misrepresents them. By all rules of right and reason, of history and of justice this is their country. By all the things that men hold dear they are going to preserve this as their common country and they are going to live, and if need to die, to preserve this as their common country. HARRIS ARTICLE CRITICIZED I have very little time to go into the history of Mr George Harris, because part of it is wrong, and when he goes back to school he will be able to correct himself. But I want to say THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JULY 22. 1922 George Harris of New York News Writes Malicious Article to Prejudiced New York World Misconstruing Motives of the Interview—Is Scathingly Denounced by Mr. Garvey—Editor's Name Very Unpopular Among Thinking Negroes GARVEY DENIES ALLEGATION THAT HE HAS FORMED AN ALLIANCE WITH KU KLUX KLAN—SAYS RACE PROBLEM CANNOT BE SOLVED BY VAPORINGS OF MEN LIKE HARRIS AND DuBOIS OR BY WHAT NEGROES IN THE PAST HAVE DONE—CAN ONLY BE SOLVED BY ABILITY TO COPE WITH PRESENT-DAY SITUATION Harris Ridiculed for Making Capital of Fact That Garvey Is an Alien—No Negroes in Western World Are Alien, Says Garvey, as They Were Brought Here Against Their Will this' the learned editor and Harvard graduate, as he calls himself, tells us that a Negro was with the expedition that went to California to discover gold. Where is the Negro's portion of the gold that was discovered? (Laughter and applause.) The learned scholar tells us that the Negro was with everybody, but he does not tell us who was with the Negro. Do you know what it means to be with a man? It is quite a different thing being with a man or having that man to be with you. If I employ you to do some work for me, after you have performed that work I discharge or dismiss you and I am no longer obligated to you. The great graduate of Harvard—the great newspaper editor of New York—the great alderman (as he calls himself) tells us in nearly every instance that the Negro was with Columbus and Balboa, the Negro was with this or that person, but he fails to prove to us where the Negro established his claim co-equal with the other fellow when he established his claim Now, if two individuals go out in conquest on equal terms, whatsoever is conquered is divided equally at that time by the conquerora. If Negroes came with Columbus then it was the Negro's right at the time when Columbus planted his flag for the monarchy of Spain, to have planted his flag for the monarchy that he represented. (Applause) If this great Harvard graduate will go back to history he will find that no auxiliary of war ever shared equal rights with those for whom he served except by the generosity of those whom they served. If I employ you as an auxiliary of war to fight my war, if there was no understanding that the spoils of war would be divided equally among us, I would pay you for your services as an auxiliar; cf war and there is no more obligation. And this man who claims to be so educated and claims to be a leader of the race cannot see the difference between a man being with another as a servant—as a lackey—as an auxiliary of wgr or what not, and the individual by whose initiative the conquest is made or the expedition is carried out. He tells us about a Negro being with Peary at the North Pole. We all know a Negro was with Peary at the North Pole and that that Negro was paid by Peary as an employee or laborer to work for him. When Peary discovered the North Pole he was not obligated to that Negro because that Negro had no hand in fitting out the expedition, nor did not stand half the expenses of Peary's voyage to explore the North Pole. If that Negro had shared in the expenses and shared in everything for the discovery of the North Pole then he would have had an equal right in the discovery of the North Pole. And similarly in the discovery of America if the Negro who was with Columbus, as Harris makes us believe, had paid part of the expenses of the expedition. If he had shared equally with Columbus the cost of the expedition; if they had entered into a partnership for the discovery of the New World, when the New World was discovered then the Negro would have laid as much claim to the discovery of America as Christopher Columbus did. I am not saying these things of my own opinion; I am saying these things because they are facts, and the white man looks at facts and nothing else. You cannot run this world by sentiment. It is all well for you to say a Negro discovered America, it is all very well for you and I to say a Negro fired the first shot at Bunker Hill; that Negro blood was first shed at Bunker Hill, but was it the Negro on his own volition who instigated the War of Independence? Was it on the Negro's account that the War for Independence was initiated? The Negro was only a Look Out for the Appearance of the Greatest Negro Monthly Magazine "The Blackman" Edited by Marcus Garvey, Sir William Ferris, Sir John E.

Building secondary consideration in the great ideal of white men to free themselves from Great Britain. Men become possessors of the land by conquest or negotiation. Now this Harvard graduate will have to show me at what time a Negro of his own account started out to discover America and had discovered America and established his flag by right of conquest. When he can prove that to me, then I will say to him that America is the black man's country and not the white man's country. But he will have to go a long way proving to the sentiment and the emotion of the people, but we have been living on sentiment and emotion all the time. What Harris writes sounds well in sentiment. I can write just as beautiful an article as he did to appeal to the sentiment and the emotion of the people, but we have been living on sentiment and emotion all the time. These so-called leaders of ours have fed us up with emotion and fed us up with flattery, and where do we find ourselves now in this twentieth century? Being deprived of every right as men. Flattery has taken us nowhere; flattery has not abolished the Jim Crow car, flattery has not abolished segregation; flattery has not abolished lynching. Writing these beautiful things about the past as far as we are concerned is not going to give us the consideration that we want now. If I knew that writing beautiful things would give us the consideration we want, then I would write pages and volumes of such beautiful things, but I know that after I have written pages and volumes of such beautiful things as George Harris wrote for flattery, they will be thrown into the waste paper basket and will not help to solve the Negro question today. We know all about the discovery of America, we know all about the gold fields of California, we know about the present condition of Negroes. Can we solve our problem by what some other Negro old 50 years, 100 years or 200 years or 300 years ago? It is impossible for you to solve the problem that way. You have to solve your problem through the action of the present. You have to solve your problem by your manoeuvres and by your ability to cope with the present-day situation. Problem Must Be Solved by Present Conditions That is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring to do. But let me tell you this: It pays some men to keep an attitude like that. So long as Negroes are being lynched in the United States of America certain organizations will al- ways find reasons to exist and reasons to pay a few fellows salaries; so that it is to their interest to do everything to perpetuate lynchings if they want to have those salaries continuously. It served certain people to encourage the existence of the Ku Klux Klan and to encourage the barbarity of the Ku Klux Klan by aggravating the Klan, because it gives them something to write about every day so that they can sell their papers for five cents. The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not adopt that attitude. Our attitude is this: That lynching must be stopped. Our attitude is this. That unfairness and injustice to Negroes must stop. Our attitude is this: That Negroes should be free and independent. When those things happen we are ready to go out of business. If that attitude can be adopted tomorrow morning, if Africa can be freed tomorrow, if lynching can be stopped tomorrow and segregation and Jim Crowism can cease tomorrow, then the Universal Negro Improvement Association would have absolutely no cause for continuing its existence. But there are certain organizations and individuals who pretend that they would like to see lynching stop, yet they are praying that another lynching will take place so that they can beg for more money to carry on the good work of the organization. Do you know that if lynching should stop tomorrow morning certain organizations would feel very uncomfortable because they would not know what to do or by what means to raise public subscription or arouse public sentiment to insure philanthropic contributions to pay their salaries? As for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, that is worth a million dollars to certain folks. Why, it is a gold mine on which you can collect at this time for certain folks, and they will do everything out of pretence to keep up the fight. They say they want to pass the Dyer Bill, but underneath they do not want the Dyer Bill passed, because if it is passed it will cut off the revenue they are depending on to carry them on for another few years. Let us analyze these things. Any man, any movement, any government that has great public issues or great public measures to handle—issues and measures that affect vitally an individual, race or nation—do not go about it in a way of advertising. They adopt an attitude of diplomacy, they try to put over that which they desire by diplomacy and not by public advertisement or public notoriously. That is to say, if England wants to get the better of --- France, the premier of England is not going to advertise in the papers of England or, all the papers of France what he is going to do to France. He adopts a method of diplomacy and tries to put over that which he desires to put over France, and when he has put it over he advertises it to the world and the world is welcome to the information. That is the way intelligent individuals—intelligent statesmen go about matters that affect the nation or the race. But what do our friends on the other side of this Negro movement do? The first thing they do is to advertise to the world what they are going to do, and thus get the other Reduced Fares for Delegates and Members Attending the Third Annual Negro Convention To the Presidents of the Eastern and Central Divisions: The Trunk Line Association, which controls the lines of the eastern territory, and the Central Passenger Association, which controls the central territory, have consented to grant to our delegates coming to the convention, through their routes, excursion forces, at the rate of fare and a half for round trip, at the minimum of $1.00 for the round trip; providing the delegate or member can produce an identification certificate from the Association. The Trunk Line Territory Is as Follows: New York State (east of and including Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Suspension Bridge, and Salamanca), New Jersey, Pennsylvania (east of and including Erie, Oil City and Pittsburgh), Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia and West Virginia (east of and including Wheeling, Parkersburg, Kenova, Orange and Norfolk). Tickets will be sold from the above mentioned territories from July 28th to August 1d, and persons desiring to attend the convention must leave for their destination on or between those data. Delegates must arrange to return so as to reach their original starting point, over the same route, not later than midnight of September 4th, otherwise they will have to pay full fare on their return trip. One identification certificate will suffice for each member, including dependent members of his or her family. The Central Passenger Association authorizes the same fare and one-half for round trip on Identification Certificate with the same conditions mentioned above. The Central Passenger Association controls the line in the States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. A portion of Louisville and Nashville Railroads. However, to avoid mistakes, delegates or members are advised to require at their local ticket offices if this reduced fare applies to the route they intend to take. Please inform the High Commissioner General Office immediately by Special Delivery Letter or Telegram the number of Identification Certificates you require for delegates and members of your Division.

It comes to this: that it is either ignorance on the part of those who had such movements open hypocrisy—hypocrisy in saying that they want to better conditions, when in their hearts they know they do not desire it.

DIVISIONS CLINIC OF THE PHILADELPHIA DIVISION MAJOR WRIGHT'S REALTY PLANS CONNECTICUT VALLEY AND ROCKVILLE DIV. The East Berlin Brickyards—The East Granby Barbocue —Plainville, New Britain and Hartford—The Passing of a Talented Youth BY SIR WILLIAM M. FERRIS, A.M. Assistant President General of the U N I A and Author of "The African Abroad" On the Saturday before the Fourth of July we visited the Philadelphia Dr vision of the U N I A and were pleas antly surprised at the progress that was in evidence. First we entered the grou ery, and saw Mr Clarence Norman busy waiting on six or seven customers Then we went upstairs Miss Marie King, the general and financial secretary informed us that Dr Lionel A France was in the clinic and dispensary We descended a flight and saw two neat and elaborately equipped rooms. The clinic takes up the entire second floor. The rear room is the waiting room and contains a sick bulletin board. The front room is large and well lighted. It contains an X-ray outfit, a fluoroscope gyroscope, electric sterilizer, irrigator, a special chair with adjustable back side and screws for eye throat and nose diseases, and an adjustable electric light. It is said to be the finest colored clinic and dispensary in Philadelphia. Dr Wm B Ramsey is in charge of the dispensary Dr Wm B Cooper the chief physician at the clinic Mrs Alice Hatcher, the head nurse, and Miss Sarah McNish a valuable assistant. Next door Dr Francis carried us to the U N I A restaurant, where we partook of refreshments. It is well patronized. Upstairs the carpenters were fixing up the tenements for prospective tenants. The Philadelphia division owns a truck and Dr. Francis a touring car. Mr. John Scott is the expert motor mechanic in the auto department. The officers of the Philadelphia division are Lionel A. France, president, Mrs. ColeaYoung. lady president, Edgar Bland, chairman trustee board, Maude King, secretary, Saneric E. Simpson, executive secretary; Mrs. M. E. Coleman, secretary Ladies' Division, Frederick Purnell, chairman advisory board, Harry S. Hamilton, treasurer. Major Wright's Plan It is planned to erect a large building on the present site, and it is hoped to start work on the new hall immediately after Labor Day. The building will be called "The Liberty Hall" of Philadelphia, will contain halls and stores, and will probably be the largest Negro building in Philadelphia. Major R. R. Wright, Sr. former president of the State College at Savannah, Ga., and president of the Citizens & Southern Bank, addressed the Philadelphia Division on Sunday, July 2. It is rumored that the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company will soon place $50,000.00 in Major Wright's hands to invest in Negro properties and that 100 tenants for colored people will soon be in process of erection. Mr. Thomas Wallace Swan, the friend of Major John Hampton Moore, has rendered valuable service to the Philadelphia Division. The Rockville Division and Tobacco Fields On Sunday, July 2, we went by train to Vernon and by trolley to Rockville, Conn. The ride was pleasant despite the intense heat. As we looked south and east from the trolley we saw a thickly wooded hill where the shrubbery was very dense. But as we looked north and west we saw a wonderful view. Some fifty or sixty feet below us the Connecticut tobacco valley stretched for a length of five or six miles and for The American Beauty SHELK ORGANDIE DRESS $348 PINK OR LEE WHY PAY SHOP? a width of three or four miles. White patches glimmered in the distance. They looked like small lakes. Intersepsers between the green fields and meadows and forest crowned hills, they looked very picturesque. But as we drew nearer we saw that they were large white nets spread over the tobacco fields. We alighted from the car at Prospect street and saw a very beautiful green studded with splendid elm trees. On Elm and Prospect streeta, which encircled the green on the north and west sides, the stately elms form an arch, as they did in New Haven on Elm and other streeta, before they were cut down to make way for the double track trotler and the trolley wires. Cooy cottages surround this green on every side. Finally, on Elm street, at the corner of the green, we saw a palatial residence on an elevated plot of ground slightly removed from the street. Then we went down a street at right angles to Elm street and saw mansions rising from the hillade to the north. Then we turned west on Davis avenue and passed down a hill lined with homes, suggesting wealth, comfort and luxury. Finally we came to a church at the foot of the hill overlooking the Connecticut Valley and the tobacco fields. And we were ushered into a rousing U N I A. meeting. Rev. Napoleon Hall, the pastor of the Baptist Church and president of the local, was in the chair and Rev. H. C. Lowry, the organiser, was speaking to a crowded house. We were introduced and addressed a rousing meeting. Nearly every member of the church halls from South Carolina and is a member of the U N I A. Through the enterprise and energy of Rev. Hall a splendid site was secured for the church and a cozy building erected. They are busy in Rockville raising the convention fund. The officers of the division are: Rev. Napoleon Hall, president and chaplain, Edward Petera, vice-president, Mrs. Lulu Dunbar, secretary; Mrs. Mela Ready, lady president, and Mrs. Robert Ready, treasurer Mr I H. Johnson, a prominent member of the church and the local, is one of the wealthiest colored men in that section. He owns a car and a large farm at Ellington. Conn has an ambitious wife and a daughter soon to be graduated from the high school. But beat of all, he is a loyal and enthusiastic race man. The East Berlin Brickyard On Monday evening, July 2, Rev Lowery and the writer visited the brickyard at East Berlin and addressed a small gathering in the home of Mr R. J Young, a staunch and loyal member of the U. N. L. A. They became interested in the African Redemption Fund. We met Mr Evans at this time. He owns a large farm in East Granby, Conn. His son, Robert, supervises the farm, and he, Mr Evans, Br. owns three trucking teams, which haul for the brickyard in East Berlin and for a lumber mill in Chester, Pa. He handles one team and two of his sons the other two teams. They pay $50 to $4.50 a day for wages in East Ea. in and from $7 to $8 a day when a man makes double time. Mr Evans is a noble looking dark complexioned gentleman, very intelligent and full of ambition and energy, and wonderful vigor for a man in his middle ages. The Rest Granby Barbeau On the Fourth of July we went to East Granby, Conn., where the Pentecostal Church held religious services in the school and a barbecue in the grove. People came from Tariffville, Middletown, Portland, Windsor and Hartford. Mr. Wakely, a white carpenter, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. and Mrs. Mifflin of Portland, Conn. Then the audience prepared to the lawn, where the tables were spread and where they partook of the delicious barbecue that had been prepared by Rev Robert Evans. Automobiles were lined up on the grounds. Mr. Seth Sharp and family and friends from Windsor and Hartford had a clam bake and fishing party down by the river. We found Mr. T. A. De Loach, the vice-president of the U. N. I. a busy with his carpenter work, his store and his splendid farm, where the vegetables stood in even rows. Mr. Thomas Jefferson, the president of the division, left before we arrived. They are planning for a U. N. I. A. meeting next Sunday Plainville, New Britain and Middle- town, Conn. Then in rapid succession, we visited Plainville, New Britain and Middletown, Conn. Through Rev. Washington, the brilliant and scholarly pastor of the A. M. R. Church of Plainville, we arranged for a lecture date. Then we visited New Britain, Conn. and found Mrs. A. Burton Tavores, the president of the New Britain U. N. I. A., busy circulating the Negro World and arranging interest in the Convention Fund. Then we visited Middletown and Sound Rev. John R. Banks collecting money and securing pledges for the Convention Fund. He has brought a THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JULY 22. 1922 great deal of interest in the conventions in Middletown. Over in Portland we found Mr Willis Holman, the president, striving hard to hold his little stock together, handicapped by the fact that several colored people had left Portland because of the scarcity of work The Hartford Division A few weeks ago we addressed the Hartford, Conn, Division, where an interesting program was rendered. Mr. F. D. Smartt, the president, Mr J. E. Strickland, the vice-president, Mrs. T. B Dowden, the lady president Mr Benjamin Washington, the chaplain, Mr Horace Smith, the treasurer and Mr Campbell, a prominent lay member, were among those present. The speakers were Meares, Andreas Anderson, Carlton Hinkson, J E Brown and Benjamin Washington. Miss Grace Nash sang a solo and Miss Frances Wilson presided at the piano. The choir sang acceptably, and singing of Mrs. E O Games and Mrs. A B Carney was fine. The band under the leadership of Mr Kenneth A Roane is coming along in splendid shape. Mr J. F C. Cesar, the botanist and agricultural chemist, who is secretary of the division, was prevented by his duties on a farm in Wetherford from attending the meeting until late. The Hartford division has fifty members who come out rain, shine, storm or blow The Passing of a Talented Youth Mr John H Morris, of 10 N 59th street, the brother of Miss Martha E Morris, a clerk in the President General's office, passed away Wednesday morning, June 27, at 3:30 o'clock. He had been ill of bronchial pneumonia since May 22. He was conscious to the last. Mr Morris came of a fine family. His mother is cultured and refined, one of his sisters, Mine Julia E. Morris teaches in Camden, N. J., and another Miss Lydia, in Germantown, Pa. Mr Morris graduated from the Boyd High School of Philadelphia, Pa. in 1919 at the age of 19. Last summer he attended the University of Pennsylvania. Never very strong physically, he was nevertheless a bright and apt pupil and showed promise as an essayist and poet. One of his poems appeared in the Negro World in the fall of 1920. Mr Morris was a young man of very fine character, and had a host of friends. The funeral services were held at the home on Saturday morning. July 1 at 11 o'clock. Rev W. I. Imes, pastor of Central Presbyterian Church, conducted the services. Mrs J. E. Morris the undertaker, took charge of the body. The remains were deposited in the Eden cemetery. Just before we left the city of Brother Love we visited Dr Matthew Anderson, pastor of the Berean Presbyterian Church and principal of the Berean Normal and industrial School, and Rev. J. H. Thomas, pastor of the A. M. E. Church in Devon, Pa. Dr Anderson informed us that he heard the U. N. I. A widely discussed in Panama. We arranged a lecture engagement with Rev Thomas, who has been very successful in the ministry in Pennsylvania. His daughter, Miss Lucile Thomas, is winning laurels as a teacher in Washington. KANSAS CITY, KAN., DIV By J. JOHN, Executive Secretary On Wednesday, June 7, there passed to rest Dr S B Payne, a faithful and devoted worker of this division. In fact, it is said he was one of the earliest workers. His one and only idea was Africa for the Negroes, and he died at just the time when he had completed all arrangements for this long voyage. He was affable in disposition, keen of intellect and one who loved his race so dearly that dying for it would have been of little or no consequence. He leaves a father and a mother, to whom we offer our heartfelt sympathy May he rest in peace. On Thursday and Friday, June 18 and 16, this division was again in the throes of scarcity. Everything looked abnormal—everybody busy. It was the days of the coming of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. On Thursday night at 8 o'clock at the C. M. E. Church he addressed a crowded church and sent home such telling truths as to make everybody feel that our hopes and aspirations will soon materialize. He illustrated in his usual lucid style how natural it is for the strong to oppress and crush the weak, and pointed out that the only salvation of the weak lay in complete organization; for "so sure," says ha, "as we were once made slaves through our weakness, so sure we can most certainly be made slaves again through apathy and indifference to our own being." On Friday night at M. Zion Baptist Church he delivered his farewell address. He again advised Negroes to organize if we are to save ourselves and accomplish that toward which the U N L A. is fighting so hard—liberty and freedom for 400,000,000 of Negroes in a free and untrammeled United States of Africa. Our thanks are due to those who so ably assisted us in the musical program, especially Miss Ease Tooley, whose rendering of "A Bird from Over the Sea" was all to be desired. The result of this great man's visit has been a gain to this division of fifty members in the two nights. THE U. N. I. A. IN OKMULOEE, OKLA. HOLDS MEN'S MEETING On May 22 the Okmuglege Division No. 133 of the U. N. I. A. held a meet ing long to be remembered. It was hoped that the Hon. Marus Garvey would be able to attend, but instead we had Mr. Charles Sempity and Miss Willis, two capable speakers. A. B. HULLAND, Reporter. INTERESTING NEWS FROM NUEVITAS U. N. L. A The Commissioner Tells of the Enthusiasm in Cuba On Sunday, June 11, 1923, in the Liberty Hall of the U. N. L. A., there was staged a lovely service of song by the choir of the Neuvitas Branch. Mr. Luther Dixon, the choirmaster, spared no pains to have his choir prepared to perform such a beautiful program before the public. The program consisted of selections from the song book, "The River Singers," which pieces were well mastered by Mr John F Miller who presided at the organ. The reading at the end of each song was accomplished by Mrs J Pryce who gave thorough satisfaction to all. The good old orator in the person of Mr E M. Stephenson was the chairman of the evening's entertainment, and in his eloquent addresses before and after the function he commanded the people to have a lovely time. Before the close of the service of song the Hon Edward V Morales, high commissioner for Cuba, entered the hall. On his arrival the audience stood and sang the national anthem of Ethiopia. He was invited to the platform, from where he delivered an address of welcome to the audience and invited them to return to the general mass meeting of the U N A. When he retired the parting song, "Good Night," was sung, which marked the close of the evening's entertainment. At 7 p. m. a monster gathering was to be seen around Liberty Hall to attend the mass meeting. At 7 20 p. m. the regular mass meeting was called to order by the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain", and then prayers offered by the chapel. The program for the night was then made up of songs, solos, recitations and addresses, the deliverers of which were Messra. Allen, Stephenson and Baynes. The recitation entitled "The Negro" was well recited by Miss Nora Bacque. The high commissioner, Mr Edwardo V Morales, was then introduced to the audience by Mr. T. D. Allen, acting president and chairman for the night's ceremonies. On arising the high commissioner delivered two splendid addresses, one to the Spanish element in Spanish and the other to the French element in French. During this period a profound silence reigned within and without among the people when they heard the deliberations uttered from the lips of the high commissioner. He then spoke in English. Commissioner Morales said in part, "Since last I left you I have been doing all that lies in my power to aid this grand movement. I visited the Santa Clara Province, and all divisions are doing well. I went to Remedio and Calibarian, from where I saw my stay published. The members there are real Africans. When they hear the word arica they cry for joy in anticipation to return to their motherland, Africa. When I see the enthusiasm manifested in them it gives a power and pluck to work the Negro's freedom out. You would be surprised to see how secalous are those Cubans. I appeal to you that you ponder seriously and deeply over this movement. I visited Matanzas and Pinar de Rio, and the branches there are doing good work. Havana is doing well, in spite of having lots of worries and troubles. Havana is aiming to be the head of all the branches. I went to Banes, and there I found the people working the U. N. I. A. in all its auspices. They are leading, having a membership of 1,000 members and more. They have their own Liberty Hall, stores, etc., and naturally they are doing all that tends to progress. While the Banes Division is leading you, the Nuevitas branch comes second. I went to Guanabaca and found lots of worries and grievances there. You could imagine by this that they had a hard time there, for on my arrival one side wanted to entertain me while the other side wanted to do the same. To settle amply their grievances I had to labor nearly the whole night through-I did not get home until 4 a.m. I am determined to see the progress of the Negro race, and therefore I have to blind my eyes to all the worries, difficulties and obstacles that surround me. This should be the aim of all. At Agramonte three men had some worries or troubles, and then they went to the British consul there to seek aid. The British consul directed their thoughts to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, or the representative of the movement in Cuba. To all of this I have to stand by and give my aid. The same day I came here I had to attend court in Cejo de Avila before I left to defend a Negro who had some troubles with the government. I had to stand upon my legs in court to defend that man to save him from false imprisonment or false punishment. After releasing Hercules Hair Grower A wonderful Glamour and Grower all in one.

I am sorry that I cannot be here with you longer than for tonight, as I have to be gone in the morning. I am indeed proud of the working of your branch. Your president will present to you your registered by-laws, which I succeeded in having the Provincial Governor of Camagua to register. Now that this is done you can boast of better protection of your branch. The improvement you have made since last I left you is something of note. May you ever continue to do faithfully the works of this great and noble movement that in course of due time your branch be seen floating in the heights. Wishing you all the success, and thank you for your devoted attention and excellent attendance I beg to retire. Encouragement in all its respects should be given to the High Commissioner for Cuba for the work he is putting over in Cuba for the Negro peoples domiciled therein. From his addresses from time to time we could imagine the tasks he has always been having. We know the disadvantageous conditions under which he labors in Cuba, the inconveniences and sufferings he has to undergo, yet still he presses forward. This marks the measure of a leader Should we not support such workers? Yes. For instance, the work and its results of the High Commissioner demand same. It is necessary that we support all the officers and leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which will help them to put through the works of this movement successfully As England, in the time of Lord Nelson, "expects every man to do his duty," we, of this age, are expected to do our duty. In spite of the financial depression now existing in Cuba we the Nuevitas Division, shall do its part, and we sincerely wish that the entire Cuba will join us to perform and accomplish the duties that are necessary to put our future generations on the road of equality. This age is a serious one and if we do not start the ball rolling now and ever keep it going we will be weighed and found wanting. May God bless and keep the leaders of this race movement, to continue their faithful work, leaving not a stone unturned until Africa be redeemed. H P. A. MARTIN, Executive Secretary, Nuevitas Div.

CHAPTER IN TERRE HAUTE, IND., UNVEILS CHARTER Highland Chapter No. 59 had a gala night of the 7th inst., when our beloved High State Commissioner, Hon. H. P Carroll, with fitting ceremony and pomp graciously unveiled our charter. He had a lovely program Sister Mary Anderson, although away up in years, reminded one of a strip of a girl in her teens when she rendered one of her school-girls-day poems. Mrs. McKindley also was brilliant in a spiritual rendition, and the three girls were more than excellent Rev Mathews, the chaplain was very sentimental in a spiritual song. The following are the officers of the chapter P. K. McKindley, president, George Owens, first vice-president, Hester Mathews lady president, Samuel E Mathews, secretary, Jesse Moors, treasurer Ed Mathews, chaplain A C Sheppard second vice-president Anna Mathews captain of the Black Cross Robert Anderson, chairman of the Trustee Board. All were sworn in and were very happy. The officers and some of the members of Terre Haute No. 323 were guests. Among them were President C M Winnbush Lady President Hallei M Brown, General Secretary John J Colemann, and Financial Secretary Della Mathews, also Mrs. Emma Winbush. Hon H F Carroll seemed to just thrill the guests with his matchless oratory in his treatise of the alms and objects of the U N I A and his dictation was so simple that any one, even a new-born babo, could understand his logic. Hon. Carroll seemed to speak from inspiration and the wisdom he brought forth was supernatural, for he is a master of things that are of an international scope.

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 demonstration 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 on 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 dominion. Please send in your dollars, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred, to help in the work Address your communication to Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York, United States of America. All donations sent in will be acknowledged week by week in the columns of this paper.

At the 36th annual commencement of Temple University, held in Philadelphia Pa. on June 15 Martin E Gibba, colored, distinguished himself by winning two prizes in the school of pharmacy, in a class of 125 students and receiving honorable mention for third prize. First prize, the Dr James C. Attix prize for the highest general average in chemistry. The Sigma Epsilon Phi Fraternity medal for the second highest average in all branches of the senior year The Dr John R. Minehart gold medal for the highest general average for the senior year, honorable mention. The remarkable phase of this high honor to which Martin E. Gibbs attained is that these prizes were won in a class of white students, there being only eleven colored students in this class of 125. Therefore there cannot be given too much credit to this young man, of whom the entire race should be proud. To verify, consult Dr John R.

MARCUS GARVEY DEFENDS HIS POSITION (Continued from page 7) this country as to be able to disfranchise the Negro; was so powerful as to bring into existence Jim Crow laws, was so powerful as to bring into existence laws for segregation; was so powerful as to be able to deprive a whole race of its political rights. What can a lonely Negro do with such an organization that is bent on such plans of devilment? Common sense would suggest to him that the thing to do is not to antagonise the organization, but to adopt a method of diplomacy to get around the thing, so as to prevent the thing from doing the harm that it intends, rather than to aggravate and provoke the thing to do you a worse harm than it intended. Now, as I said here last Sunday night, I do not care about the Ku Klux Klan; for that matter I don't care about any folks in the wo.ld but the 400,000,000 Negroes in the world, but I realize this: that at this time we have our hand in the lion's mouth, and if you have any sense it is your business to gradually ease that hand out, and then when you are out and you are far away from the lion you can make up your time to get even with the lion; but while you are in the lion's reach, if you have one grain of sense, you will adopt those methods that will preserve your life and let the lion go. Movement Must Be Led by Intelligen movement must be led by intelligence A movement like the Universal Negro Improvement Association must be led by intelligence; must be led by diplomacy; and I say this: it does not pay us in America to offend any organized group of which men because we are still a dependent race.

NOW READY All divisions of the Improvement Assisted to send in New Constitutions as amended at the 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. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS CARVEY, President-General New York city or in the United States of America is a Ku Klux man, who is either actively, physically or spiritually a member of the Klan, and if fellow George untint to aggrivate well-organized white organizations like the Ku Klux Klan that have a policy and a program, millions of us are going to pay the cost of it The Ku Klux Klan has a program White people when they get together fifty or a hundred million strong always have a program and if we aggrivate them to the point where they say These Negroes are getting too fresh, too impartinent, too ambitious and therefore, we are going to mete out to them what they deserve do you know what will happen" Throughout the Southland—and especially the Southland—millions of our men, women and children will suffer day in and day out because of the senseless propaganda of fellows like George Harris up North whose ordereally mean absolutely nothing because they have not even the manhood to go one mile below the Mason-Dixon line and give utterance to their North bluff Count the Cost It is the duty of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to count the cost. There are some Negroes who like to follow white folks—anything white folks do is all right. If white folks say let us march up the street, they are ready to organise a group of Negroes to march up the street. If white folks say let us turn to this side of the street, they will organize the group to turn on this side of the street. If white folks say let us attack the Ku Klux Klan, you will find some Negroes following suit. And this idea of attacking the Ku Klux Klan never came into vogue among Negroes until the New York World, for its own good reason—for the reason of increasing its circulation, for the reason of getting even with somebody it hated, for the reason of advertising the Ku Klux Klan—started the attack. Who can tell that is not the motive? Who can tell but what that is the diplomacy of the other man to get the activities of the Ku Klux Klan before the country, because there are millions of people today who never knew of the Ku Klux Klan and who never had an opinion one way or the other until the New York World exposed the activities of the Ku Klux Klan and told what the program of the Ku Klux Klan was. And since that time hundreds of thousands of white Americans who never had in their minds joining the Ku Klux Klan are now members of the Klan. I say and I believe that the publication of the World in its so-called expose of the Ku Klux Klan was a means of advertising the activities of the klan, and that day you know what has happened? Protestants have organised an organization to fight the Catholics. Since the exposure of the Ku Klux Klan, which was said to be organized for the purpose of being anti-Negro, anti-Jew and anti-Catholic, the Protestant Alliance of America has organised a new organization to fight the Catholics and the Holy See. That is the strategy of the white man that poor, weak-minded, water-brained, senseless fellows like George Harris cannot understand. The Ku Klux Klan represents, if not in actual membership, the spirit of nearly every well-thinking white American. After the Ku Klux Klan program was exposed it became so popular that the Protestants who were probably members of the klan realised that their work of fighting Catholics might be hampered by the activities of the klan, and they simply stepped out and organized another organization to carry on the same thing the klan was organized to do. And later on you will find different organizations probably springing out of the klan to carry out the designs that the klan may have upon any one race, upon any one group, upon any one set of people in any community. This thing calls for deep thought—the thought of a statesman and not that of a ward politician. George Harris is a ward politician, and therefore cannot measure up to look out for a thousand votes to get him into office, irrespective of the measure that confronts the people, is ICE! of the Black Cross Nurses who desires a copy of the ment Association's Nurses and every member of the diately to the office of the rate list of the number of hiring same, so that we may to have printed for each surgeon-General's Dept. the Universal Negro Association are re- their orders for the of the Organization last Convention, to oral's Office.

MARCUS GARVEY, President-General PRINTING OF EVERY DESCRIPTION WHENEVER YOU HAVE PRINTING TO BE DONE FROM A CIRCULAR TO A BOOK, SEND YOUR ORDERS TO the fellow that you cannot entrust with the destiny of a race. If follows like George Harris are to be my leader, then may God Almighty take me now, because I will have absolutely no use for life. Kiving in a Serious Age I want you to realise that you are living in a serious age. You are living in a serious time. You are surrounded by a serious race of people—a people who are thinking all the time, who are doing all the time. George Harris talks about his intention to live here and die here and to be what he wants to be. I do not gaimay he is going to die here, but all of you know the kind of death we do get here. So that I quite agree with him that he is going to die. He is welcome to that kind of death. When I die I am going to die for something noble, for something that is worth while. I am going to die fighting for a grand and glorious ideal (applause), and that ideal is a country of our own, a government of our own, a nation of our own. (Applause.) Know No Nationality Again I say, great ideals, great principles, know no nationality, and if George Harris had any sense, if his mind was big enough for a leader if his heart was big enough for a leader, he never would have written the things he wrote here. I will not waste any more time on George Harris because he is not worth it. Outside of the Republican support in Harlem George Harris could not get a hundred Negroes to support him because they know him so well. Yet George Harris makes a big noise about his being an Alderman, because through our loyalty to our race we elected him simply because we wanted a Negro there, not because he was thought to be the proper man. We were so loyal to our race that because we saw the position go vacant for the want of the presence of a Negro we will put him there. I want you to realize this he is Alderman because of our desire to see a Negro in the Aldermanic Chamber, not because we thought so highly of George Harris. George Harris thinks me an alien while other folks do not think me an alien. While George Harris and DuBois try to advertise that I am from Jamaica, 15,000,000 American Negroes do not give one row of pins where Marcus Garvey came from, and I feel as comfortable in New Orleans addressing 5,000 native-born Negro Americans as I feel addressing any crowd in Liberty Hall of 8,000 Americanids and 3,000 West Indians. I feel as much at home addressing 10,000 American Negroes in Los Angeles, born on the borders of the United States, as I would feel addressing 15,000 Negroes in my own native city of Kingston, Jamaica. DuBois and George Harris have harped on the fact that I am a Jamaican and a West Indian and a foreigner because they are endeavoring to play on the prejudices of people. Every other effort to down the movement has failed, and they are trying to see if they can appeal to the native loyalty of their own folks to see if they will not think better of them than they think of Marcus Garvey. It is not Marcus Garvey's fault that they think be ter of him than they do of George Harris. He had a long time proving his worth and if he failed before Marcus Garvey came it was not Marcus Garvey's fault. I know no nationality, I know no national boundary where the Negro is concerned The whole world is my province until Africa is free. (Applause) Wherever Negroes are enalised politically, industrially, socially or educationally there is my home for the time being Until they become politically emancipated whether it is America or the West Indies or Africa. I have a work to perform, and I can do it anywhere with as much pleasure as I am doing it here now. Soil does not matter one hit except that soil is Africa. All soil looks alike to me. I want my good friend George Harris to realize that he has a chance to make good and the Universal Negro Improvement Association affords him the opportunity if he will become a convert of the right doctrine. (Loud and prolonged applause) Mr. Poston's Speech Your Excellency, the Provisional President of Africa, Officers and Members of the New York Local, Ladies and Gentlemen— I am about prepared to say tonight, as I said in this hall some time ago, that the fight is on—the fight is on this time to free ourselves against the class of people who want us at this CONVENTION BANNERS AND FLAGS FOR 1922 Strict uniformity must be observed in the manufacture of banners and flags of the Association.

You know friends, for some months, for some years we have been awakening the people to racial consciousness and that spirit was criticized as it is today, and the spirit is having its effect in the camp of the enemy, and those people fearful of the power of this great awakening are trying to divide us and the fight is on against those who would have us capitulate. But recently I was at the Public Library, where I heard a young man speaking; he had just won a scholarship to Copenhagen. This young man spoke for a long while about conditions in Europe, and then finally he struck upon a subject that most American speakers touch upon, the subject of social equality. It was my pleasure to have just a word to say in that meeting, and after I had spoken there was a white lady in the meeting who did not like the tenor of what I had to say, and she got up and expressed her views. But not content with the impression that she had made in that meeting when the meeting was over she sought me out for further debate. There was with her a colored man, and this was her attitude that the kindred spirits in the two races should come together, and this colored man agreed that this viewpoint should be put forward and said "I think that we ought to do that kind of thing. I think that we ought to break down all lines that we might get together." I said to him the very fact that you concede that this is something to fight against is all the more reason why you should stay apart. I said that in order to get at this some years age the white race drew up a line in this country to separate us from them upon the theory that we were inferior to them. Whether that is right or wrong, the thing has gone on for years and the two races of people have been forced to live separate, that condition has proved unsatisfactory to colored people of the world, and they have built up a strong feeling of racial consciousness and they are doing things on their account, they are developing strong men within the race. Now, the most impressionable part of the white race which is the woman—the very first person to see these changes—are crying that the barrier is let down, and the new Negro is asking that they will not pass. They drew the line because they felt that we were inferior and we are proving to them that we are their equal and superior in many things and they are beginning to see this and are asking that the lines be let down, but it is up to the Universal Negro Improvement Association to maintain the integrity of the race, to maintain ideality of the race and do more to slow racial lines. The Negro is asked to let down the lines, but the moment that we let down the lines and the moment that we cease to do things, that moment we will lose the power that has made this organization what it is today. I am appealing to you tonight to think in terms of black men; to do things upon your own account. I was reading today where the trade of the world last year was one hundred billion dollars. We constitute in this world more than thirty per cent. of the population of the world, and we do not contribute one per cent. of the business of the world; that is, we do not control one per cent. of the one billion dollars of the trade of this world, and you wonder why. Simply because for years we have not been an entity, we have not placed our trust within ourselves. We have trusted the white man, we have sought his co-operation, forgetting that co-operation of the kind the white man is asking us to do is not co-operation at all, it means a laying down of the lion with the lamb, and when they get up the lamb will be in the lion's stomach, so I am appealing to you tonight to keep intact, and no matter what they say to you, you tell them that you are doing things upon your own account. You have the example of the Japanese and the example of other racial groups in the world to look on, and you cannot be mistaken whenever you take this course. My appeal to you tonight is not to let them pass, but remain intact as a race and carry out the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
