XIII. No. 7 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The ear of the public has been disturbed for quite a while by the bellowing and general noise of a few irresponsible Negroes who have been endeavoring to project themselves upon the race as race leaders. For quite a while they have been attacking the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line, and Marcus Garvey with the hope of bringing our glorious movement into disrepute. We have ignored them for all this time without making any effort to counteract their mischievous propoganda; nevertheless I feel it my duty to at least explain to the public the character of the men who have been opposing us, and their reason. It is said somewhere that "men hate the excellence that they themselves cannot attain." This has been the true characteristic of the average Negro. He hates to see his brother climb the ladder of success, he hates to see the other fellow doing anything that will help him, or help the community or humanity. It is always that determination, "If I cannot go up you shall not; if I cannot climb you shall not." This is the kind of spirit you will find in all of the so-called Negro leaders of today. When Booker T. Washington, by his own effort and energy, attempted to climb the ladder of success among his people, we had the sage of Atlanta, Berlin and Harvard, who attacked him most viciously from every quarter. He tried to point out that Booker T. Washington was uneducated, was a menace to the community and to the race, and should be put out of the way. Booker, after a life of usefulness and of real service to humanity, died and has become the most brilliant gem in the crown of scattered Ethiopia. Now that he is dead, the world admits that he was a great man, greater than any the race has produced, and probably will ever produce. But not only Booker Washington was criticized, everybody else who made an effort was wrong, was illiterate, was foolish, was a mountebank, was an exploiter for these wise-acres who have arrogated to themselves the right to criticize everything under the sun. But while these villains criticized, when we analyze them, when we investigate them, we find that they themselves have done absolutely nothing upon their own initiative for the good of the race, or for the good of humanity. Yes, someone may write a book with the object of getting a sale that will bring him money rather than for the usefulness of the book to the race, or to humanity, and project it upon us as a contribution to race development. You will find several of these men running wild throughout the country, making stump speeches against the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Black Star NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1922 NEGRO PARSON FI E FIGHTING MA NEGRO WOLD IN A SHORT WHILE WILL PUBLISH THE FACTS IN THE LIVES AND CAREERS OF PAID NEGRO PARASITES WHO HAVE BEEN FIGHTING U. N. I. A. THE PROFESSOR WHO STOLE LODGE FUNDS MANY YEARS. AGO—THE SEARCHLIGHT TO BE TURNED ON Line, telling us that Garvey is all wrong; yet they themselves cannot show us the right way. The Critics of the U. N. I. A. To repeat, there is not one of them who has anything to his credit as an individual accomplishment. They only speak because someone else has worked for them, to pay their salaries; or someone, through philanthropy or charity, has contributed to the organization that employs them to go out and make such speeches against independent race movements. We have among those attacking the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time a discredited preacher from the city of Detroit, who was dishonored or dismissed by his congregation for familiarizing himself with the wife of one of the members and trustees of his church; a man who for several years kept up a division in the race which was most insulting in his effort to foster a "blue vein society" in his church, where only people of a certain complexion could sit in the front seats, and others of other complexions had to sit in the back seats. We have another fellow who calls himself a great professor-dean, who makes a big noise about honesty, who seems to forget that not many years ago he was driven out of a city because of his misappropriation of the funds of a lodge of which he was a member. He has forgotten it but others of us have not. Again, we have others who have been dismissed from other organizations because of their dishonesty and their confessed crookedness, and still others who have been organizers of organizations, and who used the funds of the organizations for their own purposes, to the loss of the members, and to the extinction of the organizations. These are characters who are fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association; these are the "angels" whom we are to take into our arms and call leaders; fellows who have never been honest enough to do an honest day's work except to receive money from white philantropists, to go out and abuse members of their own race. These are the fellows who are being edged on to discredit Marcus Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its activities, so as to destroy the usefulness of FROM DETROIT ARCUS GARVEY the only independent Negro movement in the world. Anti U. N. I. A. Propaganda Last week a check was seen in Philadelphia in the possession of one of these men given by a Negro organization supported by white philanthropists, and on the check was written "for propaganda purposes." The person to whom the check was issued was to hold a meeting in one of the large cities of this country, to say, as they term it, "expose Marcus Garvey." Unfortunately for them, the hundreds of Negro people assembled at the meeting "exposed" them so badly that the police had to come in with their batons and beat eveyrbody out of the church. This is the kind of propaganda that these so-called Negro agitators are raising all over the country to prejudice the minds of the public against Marcus Garvey, especially at this time when his case is likely to be called in New York. The plot is,"Build up as much sentiment as you can against Garvey, get all his people to turn against him, and then we will have him." But these little Negro idiots have not yet counted the cost. They have inspired their agents and innocent people all over the country to write all kinds of letters to the Government for the purpose of getting the Government to become prejudiced against Marcus Garvey and the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But who will believe that evil can triumph permanently? No one who has any faith in himself and his God will believe that evil can triumph over righteousness. The Spirit of the U. N. I. A. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey intend to fight the battle of Negro freedom and African redemption to the end. The spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot die, because it is the spirit of the four hundred million Negroes crying out in the wilderness for liberty, for freedom, for democracy. These little Negro hirelings do not know what it means to lead reform movements. Jesus Christ was not intimidated because they persecuted him, even to death on the cross. Mohammed was not intimidated because they sought his life in Mecca. Martin Luther did not give up because they sought his life. No, Robert Emmett did not give up because the British sought his head. Mahatma Ghandi did not give up because the British sought his liberty. Fools that you are, how do you expect that Marcus Garvey will give up simply because some insignificant Negro desires to see him incarcerated because of his efforts to uplift humanity. You college professors who plot the downfall of your own race; you lazy Negro sycophants and parasites, let it be understood that Marcus Garvey does not give a snap of his fingers about you and any effort that is being made to destroy the organization and deprive him of his liberty. One day you and the rest will pay the cost—that day when Africa becomes free; and, as there is a God, Africa shall be free. The time has come for those who have faith in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, throughout the world—in Africa, South America, Central America, the West Indies, Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia—to hold fast to our sacred principles, to hold up the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green, and let the world know that we are prepared to stand together on fall in a mighty attempt to emancipate our race and liberate our Motherland. Let us all give whatsoever support we can morally and financially to the cause. Send in all the help you can to the parent body, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56, West 135th Street, New York, United States of America, and let the work go on. With very best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be Your obituary service MARGE GARSON Univ of North Carolina New York, New York UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION HAS STIRRED THE LIBERTY HALL, Sunday Night, Sept. 24. "Those who think they can make inroads upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association to build up other associations are following an 'ignis latus'—are following a false light; they can do nothing." This cold, terse and trenchant statement made by Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis tonight in Liberty Hall reveals a truth that must be patent not only to the followers and sympathizers of the association, but even to its opponents, if they but have the courage to concede it, for day by day the organization takes on added momentum despite the relentless warfare that is being waged against it; its manhood principles and program are so pulsating the hearts and minds of Negroes throughout the world and stirring them to action, that the world looks agast at the spectacle of an oppressed race rising in all its might and main and demanding those rights which by Dyne degree belong to all mankind. In the absence of the President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, who went on a visit to the Philadelphia Division, the meeting was presided over by Hon. G. E. Carter, his special assistant. A large audience packed the hall and intense interest and enthusiasm was manifested throughout, everyone listening with rapt attention to the messages of inspiration that fell from the lips of the various speakers. Hon R L Pleton secretary general in a brief address made a resume of the material accomplishments of the association which went to show that while the critics of the movement are talking, the Universal Negro Improvement Association was busily engaged in establishing industries that are improving the economic condition of the race. He made special reference to the presence of the first issuer of the Negro Daily Times, published by the association, and in conclusion urged the support of all the industries conducted by the association and also of the Negro Times, whose mission was to champion daily the cause of the Negro and that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Hon. J. B. Yearwood, first assistant secretary general, made a strong plea for unity, and said that the day is coming when the Negro will learn to realize that no chain is weaker than its strongest link and that we must, like the British people, like the French people and like the American people, come together and strike the blow once and for all to me for Negro freedom and African redemption that shall resound throughout the four corners of the world. Hon. Vernal Williams delivered an address which was a deserving eulogy to the president general. The Hon. Marcuss Garvey, he said, in undertaking the task of creating and loading the Universal Negro Improvement Association has undertaken a task and a work that is unparalleled in the history of the world. This task, he declared, surpassed in magnitude that of great leaders of the past, in that it was an attempt to first create a sentiment, and then to lead the Negro peoples of the world into a great government of their own. Advertising to the statement made by the critics that they were not fighting the Universal Negro improvement: Association, but that they were fighting Marcus Garvey, Mr. Williams said, it was impossible to divorce the creater from the creature here; it is impossible for a man to attack the creator unless he attacks the thing that he has created; it is impossible to fight the man who is leading the movement without attacking the movement and fighting the movement itself. The world knew, he added, that the man who created this movement embodies all that the movement will be in the future, and if you attack his policies you are going to impede the movement from progressing and going to its logical permanent place in the history of the black peoples of the world. He pointed out the necessity for a strong Negro government that could command the respect of other nations when a member of the race was abused and mistreated. Following are the speeches: SIR B. L. POSTON SPEAKS The first speaker was Sir Robert L. Poston, Secretary-General, who in his calm, deliberate manner, gave out some happy reflections on the practical achievements with which the Universal Negro Improvement Association was credited notwithstanding the warfare which was being waged against it by the critics. "Whilst they are burly," he said, "trying to destroy the work of this association, we, on the other hand, are operating the most successful chain of groceries in New York. Whilst they are going around seeking whom they may destroy, you can hear the buzz of our laundry. Whilst they are discussing the Black Star Linn, you hear tonight an announcement that we are going to meet on Tuesday night, possibly, with the purpose of taking up the larger program of the Black Star Linn. Whilst they are trying to fill the minds of the people with junk, our delegates are pleading in behalf of members of the world before the intellects of the world and they are pleading even for those sinners and foolish Negroes." Continuing, he said that WUliam Pickens, in an article he wrote recently, in one of the newspapers,大事记 that the League of Nations would grant Negros some land in little, but that it was going to be never-a-good land in a deserted part of Korea. " We are glad to know, " the news said. " That Mr. Pickens had admitted the possibility of the delage and the possible. But tryin' if we failed to find the way for other negro- people who could get the gold in the news time in the third. We'd like to have the support of the improvement that has led to our efforts to keep the that have sought freedom in the past in order to get the things within while in life. And so, while they are criticizing us, tonight the ticker is busy over in the office of the Negro Times bringing to us news from all over the world and we are able to inform our group about what is going on. That is the kind of people we are, and only want you to get behind these industries, get behind the Negro Times, get behind the program this year so that when the next international convention comes around we shall make a showing that will redound to the credit of the race." MON J B YEARWOOD SPEAK8 HUN. J. B. YEARWOOD SPEAKS The next speaker was Hon J. B. Yearwood, First Assistant Secretary-General, who said that the criticism which the organization was receiving gave ample proof of its strength and significance, for said he, nobody paid any attention to something that was not worth while. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, he said, was like a piece of cork, that the harder it was struck in water the higher it rose. "We fear no foe, because the association has been founded upon justice and equality and the gates of hell shall never prevail against it." He traced the history of the rise and fall of nations and pointed out how in the natural course of events the Negro race would again rise in its majesty and face the other nations of the earth and prove to the world that the Negro was created the equal of other men. It is out of oppression, he said, that nations rise, the rise of the British nation and the American nation was an exemplification of this fact, and we were looking to the day when the Negro, with concentrated thought and power, shall do likewise, but he cannot do it so long as there is a division among the race. Other nations succeeded because they came together, and it was for the Negro to do likewise. The day is coming when the Negro will learn to realize that no chain is stronger than its weakest link, and that we must, like the British people, the French people, like the American people, come together and strike the blow once and for all time for Negro freedom and African redemption that shall resound throughout the four corners of the world. HON. VERNAL WILLIAMS SPEAKS Hon. Vernal Williams, Assistant Counsel General, said: Doubtless you are all aware of the fact that in these days of world upheaval—that in these days of international and inter-racial as well as intra-national and intracultural turmoil—there is always one man who can control the thought and the destiny of a people. The Hon. Marous Garvey, the Provisional President of Africa, in undertaking the task of creating and leading the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has undertaken a task and a work that is unparalleled in the history of the world. Napoleon crossing the bridge at Ludi with the tricolor of France in his hand in attempting to place Europe under the dominion of France; the great Napoleon standing in Egypt under the shade of the pyramids with the undertaking of placing France on a strong plane in Africa, the same Napoleon at Lalpszig and Austerlitz attempting to drive a wedge into the international drive of a wedge into the Alexander the Great attempting to dig a chasm between the ancient world and the modern; Julius Caesar attempting to cross the Rublecon and place Rome in world domination, the great Bismarck, in 1870, laying the foundation for a great German empire that would override the entire world and circumvent civilization; the great Joffre undertaking to stop the German hordes at the battle of the Marne; the great Kemal undertaking to place the Moslem power against the modern Anglo-Baxon and white Christian domination in the world—all these great men have never in the past undertook a task as great as this, namely, to lead the Negro peoples of the world into a great government of their own. Why? Because in all their attempts, in all their strivings, in all their undertakings they were undertaking to do a task the aims for which were pulsating and beating in the hearts of the people they were leading. A Huge Undertaking But here comes a man who first undertook to create the sentiment, to create the desire for internationalism, and then, after he had surmounted great barriers and obstacles in implanting the desire in the hearts and minds of the people, undertook to satirize that desire. Has the world recorded a task as great as this? And, my friends, they might criticize the individual, but it is the individual who makes the thing what it ought to be: individuals alone make the history of people. The ancient Greeks read their histories with pride because when they read their histories they could read of their Aristotle and their Demosthenes. The Romans read their history with pride because they could read of their Mark, Aristophan, their Caesar, their Marcus Aurelius. The Italian reads his history with pride because he reads of Carthage and the great men who in the early days of a diminished Italy made Italy useful. The Americans look back into their history with pride because they have the greatest man of great men.

THE NEW COMMISSIONER TO THE CANAL ZONE SENDS GREETINGS Sept. 22, 1922 To the officers, Members and Friends of the U.N.I.A. and A.C.L. in the Republics of Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Fellow Brothers and Sisters -- As your newly appointed Commissioner, it becomes my sacred duty to embrace you with the tenderest feeling of fellowship and confraternity, and furthermore extend my warmest congratulations, sincerity and best wishes, coerced in the greatest Negro organization ever founded for uplifting, improving and advancing this great race of ours. Dominated and domiciled as we are under the separate governments above mentioned in Central America, we have now conceived by the experience gained in these republics and the world over that the time has arrived when every conscious hearted Negro will feel and think justly towards his or her existence, as a new day has dawned when Negroes should vindicate their cause and strike out on their own initiative, assume and demand positions as other races have done for elevation, contribute from brain, brawn and musc e our part and portion of modern art and sciences to civilization, and consolidating plant, establish and administer a government all our own on our God-given heritage of Africa, our Motherland; to protect the ill-used, desplaced and downtrodden members of our race, who have been brutalized and held in serfdom for centuries. It is with heart-rending pasts, agonies and woes we review our past, a past which seems to us full with reminiscences of injustices, disgust and hatred, yet as we herald the advent of a glorious and prosperous future, we have made it our sacred pledge never to know the meaning of the word revenge, but on the contrary ever asking the question, "How oft shall thy brother sin against thee, and thou forgive him?" Which, in accordance with the preamble to our Constitution "With love, faith and charity towards all, hatred, malice and revenge forsaken and unsought, a reign of peace, glad tidings and plenty will be heralded unto the world and the separate races of humanity shall receive their promised blessing." As we journey along, we cannot otherwise but consider those who were once with us, as members, officers and leaders of this great institution. The sinister, subtle and harmful motives under which they entered the organization as wolves in sheeps' clothing among the flock must only be interpreted to mear, the old trick to exploit and ravish uncultured, illiterate and inexperienced ignorance of the race, was their chief motive, as they have left behind footprints of dishonesty, graft, cheating, tricks, immorality and vice of every description, in order to achieve their aims, but the allseeing eye which guides and directs human destiny has been vigilant, and before they could settle down to deadly and destructive work the searchlight was turned upon them and their false deeds were brought to light. Unfortunately for the Divisions that are far away from the Parent Body, the deplorable system of graft, cheating and dishonesty has been wilfully and brutally practiced, insomuch that those who have remained outside of the pale of the organization have felt justified, owing to the fact that instinations were hurled from time to time that the same conduct was being carried on at headquarters. The Third International Convention of Negroes, held at Liberty Hall, has clearly vindicated the administrator of the U N L A. and its allied corporations, inasmuch as there is not a living human being exempt from fault or mistakes, but the Hon. Marcus Garvey has proved to the world that his character stands unblemished, that his honesty and integrity are unchallengeable, and the crooks and disgruntled that have been kicked out had to wipe their mouths and hold their breath in silence, as they can at no time attack or charge him with dishonesty, cheating and graft. This is the lesson that all future officiers and leaders should copy: First the principles, and second, honesty of purpose. All other ethics and virtues will follow. And now, in closing, I again extend to all officers, members and friends of the U. N. I. A. in the respective fields of Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua fraternal greetings, requesting your heartiest co-operation and greatest support to achieve and accomplish the greatest Negro program evidenced for a complete and determined redemption of our motherland, and for a nationhood under the sun, floating under the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. Professionally yours, Your obedient servant, CHARLES HENRY BRYANT. U. N. I. A. Commissioners, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. CCLLEGE FRATERNITY IDEA GROWS AMONG NEGRO COLLEGE MEN AND WOMEN DENVER, Colo., Sept. 18 — The Alpha-Iota Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Praternity comprising the University of Colorado, Denver University and Colorado College has just been set apart at Denver, Col., by Attorney Claudie A. Jones of Kansas City, Kan., who bore credentials from the national president of the fraternity, Simone S. Booker of Baltimore, Md., and National Secretary Norman L. McGhee of Washington, D.C. Attorney Jones was assisted in connection with the establishment of the chapter by Rev A. W. Ward, Father H E. Hahming, Messas Harold Brown, Hamilton and White members of the fraternity residing in that section. Most impressive ceremonies were conducted by the representatives of the Alpha Phi Alpha in establishing the first chapter of the fraternity in the State of Colorado. Much interest was shown by the college men who composed the group applying for admission as a chapter. The personnel of the Alpha-Iota Chapter is composed of the leading Negro college men attending the schools comprising the chapter. The chapter roll is as follows James D Hine, president; Charles D. Taylor, vice-president, Aristide Grant Chapman, secretary, Morgan Maxwell, corresponding secretary, William D. Fountain, treasurer, Charles L. Howard, chaplain, George W. Grahame, sorgent-at-arms, the other members being Valauses B. Spraillin, John A Waller, Cecil Maxwell and Theodore M. von Dickersohn. That the fraternity idea has taken deep root in the life of Negro college men and women in the United States is evidenced by the continued growth and expansion of fraternity organizations among this group in the American colleges and universities. Beginning in 1906 with the founding of the Alpha Phi Alpha at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., today there are four national Greek letter college fraternities, three college sororities, three professional men's fraternities and two professional women's sororities among Negro college men and women it is of interest to note that, with the exception of the Alpha Phi Alpha and the Kappa Alpha Pai, all of these fraternities and sororites had its origin among the students of Howard University. The rapid growth of fraternity life among Negro college students is indicated by the large number of chapters which the organizations have at the leading colleges and universities throughout the United States. The Alpha Phi Alpha, the oldest fraternity among Negro college men, has a chapter roll numbering forty-two, having a chapter at practically every important college and university in the United States, stretching from Harvard University at Cambridge, Mass., to the University of California at Berkeley, Cal. The Alpha Kappa Alpha, which is the oldest sorority among Negro college women, has twenty chapters. The next oldest fraternity, the Kappa Alpha Psi, which was organized at Indiana University in 1910, has a roll of some twenty-eight chapters. The Omega Psi Phi, the first college fraternity to be organized at a university primarily for Negro students, has since its organization in 1911 increased its roll of chapters to twenty. The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority since its organization in 1913 has carried its influence to many of the leading co-educational institutions throughout the United States, having now a chapter roll of nineteen. The youngest of the national college fraternities is the Phi Beta Sigma. Its youth, however, has not interfered with its influence and growth as it has since its founding in 1914 set apart twenty chapters at various colleges and universities. The same is true of the youngest sorority, the Zeta Phi Beta, which was organized in 1920 and which now has seven chapters. There has also been rapid growth among the professional fraternities and sororites. Perhaps one of the most helpful activities of the fraternities and sororities is the coming together of their representatives each year in annual conventions. This affords opportunity for the flower of the Negro race from the various sections of the United States to get acquainted with each other and formulate common ideals and define goals in race development. At these conventions not only do the young man and woman themselves give expression to their ideas regarding their problems, their obstacles, their failures and their successes, but they receive inspiration from the tales they are privileged to have with the large number of leading men and women in attendance who form the honorary membership of their organizations. tine are proud of their land because they can go back and see that Palestine has produced a Moses. has produced a Jesus, and after all, it is because of the great work of those in- May 12, 1922 The much-heralded League of Nations, which was supposed to make wars more difficult and to bring in an era of peace, is now exposed as the joke it really is. How can there be peace when half the world is enslaved and restless? The league must fail because it was not founded upon justice. The political status of India, Egypt, Ireland, Africa, Persia, Korea and other subjugated lands must eventually be settled. The case of Africa is very striking After furnishing (with her sons and daughters) the chief source of revenue for the coffers of such 'Christian' countries as England, France, Spain and other white governments for hundreds of years, we now find her parceled out and partitioned to and by these same governments. Of particular interest just now is the disposition of the former German colonies in Africa. Home smart lawmakers think that those colonies should be valued and considered as part of the German indemnity. By what right do any of the copying governments claim possession? The Africans at home and abroad will eventually demand a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The Ethics of Religion The darker races, on account of their high spiritual tendencies are entrusted with a supreme mission for the world, and will effect complete spiritual and moral regeneration as soon as they assume control of their own deathless. The greatest curse or harm that slavery has done to the Negro is the effacing of his racial consciousness and potentialities. Some of the best "Christians" are also some of the greatest idolators. All men are created free equal and in God's image. All men are a part of the great godhead. Then, if any part of the godhead condemn another part of it, it is blasphemy of God's handiwork. Then, also, if "Christian" Negro preachers and followers lose light of their image in God, of their potentialities, and can see nothing but that of the white man, they also are guilty of blasphemy. I noticed some time ago in The Negro World a set of questions concerning the white blissops and ministers in Liberia and other parts of Africa. I will attempt to answer a few of those questions myself. The race that was responsible for chattel slavery, with all its untold horrors, for the opium trade forced upon China, that attifes her very life-blood, for the subjugation of Africa and other lands a race that has caused the Negro very nearly to lose his faith in God, and to dwell in constant apprehension, poverty, humiliation and derision, and last, but not least, a race that sets brother against brother, as was done in the past and even in the world war—namey German Africans against British Africans—oh, no, a race like that is not even fit to be called heathen, much less to lead young African Only to be fair I beg to state that I believe that there are a few conscientious and godly missionaries, but, then, they are followed to distant lands mostly by traders, then soldiers of the various nations they represent, and never for a moment do they stop to think that the same people to whom they would take their 'uplifting process' could teach them true religion and various other things to imitate. The U. N. I. A. Words cannot be spared in explaining the aims and ideals of this grand movement. It embodies the Negro's political, economical and spiritual salvation. The great mass of Negroes go merryly on, without a thought of the position they are in. One of the first great things the U N L A can accomplish is to instill racial pride; we are sorrowly lacking in this quantity. I think the chance that the Negro has to rodeo himself is greater than he imagines. A rehabilitation must come, but only with our own efforts. Why not start trading companies and handle the vast amount of raw materials that provide so much profit for other races? We raise coffee, rubber, cocoa, timber and sell out cheap to white firms who reap all the profits. With Liberia prosperous and in a position to manufacture and buy ammunition, and with schools and universities to teach representatives from all the tribes of Africa, there would soon be a quickening of a national spirit. Let the U. N. I. A. stretch out its ever lengthening hands over Africa, and with the awakening of Afrio's sons and the overwhelming demand as of one voice from the north, south, east, and west, coupled with pent-up fury, strengthened with the fire of a just cause, the white overlord and plunderers will know better than to stand in the way. We must have a national spirit, "Everybody's doing it," as the phrase goes. There can be no blending of the races; each has its own God-given ideal to live. The U. N. I.

Africans Will Delight in Their History The day will come when Africa and Africans at home and abroad will read history with pride the day will come when black men the world over will read and delight in their history because they will read not only of great men and women of the past like Frederick Douglass like Banneker like Phyllis Wheatley like Harriet Tubman like JoBourner Truth Like Booker T Washington, but side by side with Toussaint L'ouverture, side by side with the great men who fought with indefatigable determination to lead their people, they will see the brilliant star—in new era, a new day) they will be written upon the wall of the age the great luminary the great star of hope that lit the way for black men to follow they will see the name of the man who created the Universal Negro Improvement Association they will see the name of the man who brought forth the great Black Star Line Bleuship Corporation that told the world that black men could exod in the world of navigation they will see there the great luminary of Negro leadership the great luminary of African redemption they will see the name of whom we call just plain Marcus (car) (Applause) Subterfuge Those who fight is to die in fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association they are fighting Marcus Garvey, but at this stage of the historical development of the movement, it is impossible to divorce the creator from the creature it is impossible for a man to attack the creator unless he attacks the taking that he has created. The inner sense is just as great as to say that the attack is incapable and incomprehensible that he has no place in the hall of fame of great art and then turn and say that the picture he painted is great. It is impossible to fight the man who is leading the movement without attacking the movement and fighting the movement itself. And these men who would make you believe that when they attack Marcus Garvey they do not attack the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but that world knows that the man who created this movement, the visionary of the great movement and does all that the movement will be in the future, and if you attack his policies you are going to impede the movement from progress, and going to its logical place in the history of the book complex of the world. The Aima and Obiects We sometimes forget the ultimate aim and object of this movement. I feel that after the ultimate aim of this movement is African redemption and I feel that the only purpose that the Universal Negro Improvement Association can serve in the state of the black people of the world is to give them that within "first aid" would give them... a moment of their own. We can build this institution we would want in the country, we could build all the schools and colleges we would want here. You can learn all the grocery stores you want here and all the hotels, but all you build you are building on another management. It is impossible to maintain the integrity of the things unless it is backed up and protected by a government of your own. You all remember that famous word of Perry being the harbor of Tokio. You remember how Perry went into Tokio the first time and told the Japanese he wanted to see the harbor, and the Japanese to respond that we will not permit foreigners to enter the harbor of Tokio. What did Perry say? Perry said. Let me see your harbor or I will blow you up. The Japanese said we do not want our harbor blown up; we will have to let you in. And what happened? The Emperor of Japan came down from his lofty seat and greeted this common ordinary American admiral as though he was his equal. If Perry came back to America to lead the American naval force, if Perry once more had the opportunity to go to Tokyo or if Sims or any other Amer- leadership of the Hon Marcus Corvus will eventually create the destined racial and national spirit. There is a good deal for Negroes to learn about political science and political economy, especially those that boastfully proclaim themselves. British subjects. It is a mark of interest to be a "subject or pawn of any other race. It is only a case of wearing the master's clothes, borrowing the master's name, subject to the master's biddn. and picking up the crumples that the master's choose to throw away. Africa is no more the "Dark Continent." It is indeed the "Coveted Continent." I see a greater day for the Negro, but it is not by pining and wishing, but by "doing" and trusting in God and unafraid he shall found a culture in a land which is his very own. Then we will open the portals for our poets, singers sages, scientists and other "immortals." F VINCENT BENNETT. Philadelphia, Pa. lean admiral should go to Tokyo, he would never employ the tactics that Perry employed. If it were possible to fold up our former President, Woodrow Wilson, and transform him into a great cannon ball and put him in the mouth of the greatest American gun and shoot him across the Pacific, we would take great care not to land him in Tokyo. Why? Because the people and government of Japan have made the sort of progress that this association is asking Negroes to endeavor to make, because the government of Japan has built for herself an army and navy and has created for herself a flag that is powerful, she has built for herself great guns that can shoot as accurately as those that other nations have built. In other words, they have that which the world respects—governmental power and that is what the Universal Negro improvement Association is attempting to formulate for the world. No Obstacles Can Impede the Path Therefore I say if we have in our minds what the ultimate goal must be, then there can be no obstacles to impede or hinder our path. Remember when those three Italians were lynched down there in New Orleans how the government of Italy after studying the situation for twenty-four hours said to our government that "we demand so much for the lynching of these three Italians in the South because they used the lynching struck at the heart of the integrity and the decency and the respectability and the dignity of the people and the government of Italy. And you remember how the Treasury Department dug down into its jeans and paid the price and ransom that was demand 1. Suppose that black men had a government of their own that could demand a raoon for every black man they had. I dared it; it would make it possible to guard. Uncle Sain's treasury overnight because it would be backed by governmental force. "Garvey Must Go"—To Africa Let me say in conclusion that we agree to a certain extent that Garnett and his followers must go. We must go and we will go to Africa. (Applause.) Lady Davis Speaks Lady Herriottia Vinson Davis was the last speaker and said, "Whenever I look at the vast audience gathered here on Sunday nights I think of these lines that Lord Macaulay wrote: Why is the forum crowded? What means this stir in Rome? And I think of the four and a half toes work in the heart of Harlem by His Excellency Marcos Garvey that has tirred on one's the City of New York, not only the United States of America, the West Indies and Central and South America, but has stirred the governments of Europe and our own fatherland of Africa. Stirred as Never Before Stirred as Nover Before We are stirred as a race as we were never stirred before and there who thine we can make inroads upon the University of Negro Improvement Association to build up any other aerospace are following an ignis fatua—are following a false light; they can do nothing the underlying principles of the great organization are so mongot that the whole world is looking at the Universal Negro Improvement Association and friends, as you are the daily news and you read of what is going on in the Near East and how the European governments are so concerned about it because it means so much it means that unless they can keep constant trouble the white races is doomed—dismoted in the very near future and that the darker races of the world of which we form so large a part are tired of the encroachment of the white race upon their territory they are tired of being exploited and dominated by the white man in their own countries, and so there is that riot of our people and of the kindred peoples of the darker races that means not only the overthrow of the domination of the white man but it means that the Negro the Japanese, the Indians and all the rest of our brothers of Africa shall come into their own and shall do so richly. And so the four and a half years of our work in this great city of New York, in which we have built up 900 divisions throughout the United States the West Indies, Central and South America and Africa, is all tending towards this great goal of the redemption of our fatherland. This is the Time This is the time that we need loyal members, this is the time that we need self-scrificing Negroes who will stand by the Red the Black and the Green because the dawn is just over in the East. Events point to the fact that the race is neither to the swift nor to the strong but to him who endureth to the end. (Applause.)

BATTLING SIKI, A SENEGALESE NEGRO, KNOCKS OUT CARPENTIER, THE FRENCH IDOL, IN SIX ROUNDS Georges, Nose Broken, Eye Closed and Covered With Blood, Is Jeered in Defeat—Georges First Gets Decision, but Judges Reverse Referee—Dempsey Challenged By FERDINAND TUQHY PARIB, Sept. 14 — Georges Carpentier, Europe's "best of the century," lost one of the sorest exhibitions of fighting ever seen in any ring today. Battleting Siki, the Senegalese heavyweight, knocked him out in the sixth round of a alugset punctured by fouls, but altogether lacking in science. His nose broken, his eye closed and his face covered with blood, "Georgeous Georges" had to be carried from the ring, but it took the judges another hour to announce that the better bruiser had won. In the sixth round of their scheduled twenty-round bout, Carpentier went down under a ball of vitreous right from the big Negro. As he fell, his legs slipped below in mid-Bikit and the referee declared that the white man won because he knocked good him. Crowd Sterma Ring Shouting with rage, the crowd stormed the ring and after an hour's consultation the judges reversed the referee's decision to cease a new light-heavy weight champion of the world and a new heavyweight champion of Europe. Later it was announced Biki will challenge Jack Dempsey. Georges entered the ring in heavy favorite and still the idol of France. Before the end of the fourth round the idol had fallen literally and in frustration. Floored for a count to the third his later attempts to foul were greeted with jeers and curses from his followers. Knocked out in the sixth he was carried away with the boots, calls and whining of 20,000 of his countrymen ringing in his ears while his grinning conquered him, hoisted high on the shoulders of new found admirers. The Buffalo 'Stadium' was packed when Siki entered the ring. He got a cordial, sympathetic reception for every one knew Georgia had only consented to interrupt the cinema activities because he wanted to end the 'impatient' aspiration of the Negra. Bounds Into Ring "Poor fellow" was the crowd's early attitude "Gooo goo will kill him with that right." And there was no betting. White these kindly persons were mentally measuring the Shanghai for his coffin. Gorgeous Georges bounded into the ring booming shyling his hands blithely above his head summing his lovely white-toothed smile to his Paralian friends and dressed in silk and satin just as he was at Jersey City. But the throng did not rise too well to his infectious personality. True, he got a big hand, but many were silent, remembering that Carpentier has fought little in France and seldom for charity. As the gom, sounded the spectators settled back to watch a short instructive boxing lesson given by Prof. Carpentier. Even Sika seemed to feel he was in for a bad training he had not even trained so immediately for the match. Both men seemed to be in excellent condition however, though Georges was a bit thin and pale. His black opponent was a picture of power his muscles rippling under the chony skin. In three nights of fighting he has been beaten only once, but has merely earned the reputation of being unhurtable and unskilled. Apparently knowing that he was up against a heavier hitter than he has yet encountered Siku came out of his corner but cautiously. All through the first round he hardly tried to hit Georges, and his own clumsy defense was easily penetrated. During the first two rounds Carpentier repeatedly ended his terrible right on Siku's jaw but the Negro did not seem to be even pierced by Europe's best punch. Siku Carpentier smiled confidently. Georges Battered But in the third the Negro suddenly soumed to realize that he had nothing to fear, and from then on the fight slowly degenerated into a slugging contest, with Sikh having the better of every exchange. Both men took counts in the third, but after that all Carpen- Alderman Harris of New York Indorses Dr. Siegert's ANGOSTURA BITTERS Read What He Says: Gentlemen: Dr. Siegert's Angosture Blitter is the taste that heope me in tip top tym.

SIKI, LIKE BLACK LEOPARD, CROUCHES AS MUSCLES WRITHE UNDER SKIN tier's skill could not stave off quick defeat. In the fourth Georges was battered unmercifully as the Benegalese became more and more confident. The end of the fifth found the Frenchman a beaten man, hardly able to stand. Toward the end both were fighting in fury, the champion enraged by impending defeat the Negro angered at the foul blows struck at him. Then came the end. Glorious Georges was lying on the canvas, his bloody face carcassing the floor while the Benegalese smiling and unblemished stood above him. Carpenter weighed in at 173 lbs pounds and Skii at 174. Round one was a walkover for Carpenter who danced around Ski with his eyes on the cinema men. Had Georges really boxed it it's possible he would have won straightaway, though there is more than a suspicion in view of what followed that the Negro had been told to let the Frenchman imagine he was a complete boo 8miles After His Blows After landing each blow Carpenter would smile at the crowd. When the bell rang for the second round, however, he smiled no more. Siki went at him hammer and tongs and landed a terrific blow on the mouth covering the white man with blood. He also kept pounding away at Carpentera's body, just as Dampsey did. Then Georges saw the fight was going to be serious, and tried to keep the black at arms length. But from then on Siki had control Carpentera landed often but only wasted his strength on the Negro's durable countenance Siki took the punishment offered and came up for more. By the end of this round the gurgles that had marked the idol's seeming superiority died away. I think my Georges has been acting too much for the movies," Francois Descamps, the little manager, remarked gloomily. Poached Egg Eye In the third round he surely did more work for the camera than ever before. His slokly look was enhanced by the poached egg appearance of his closing left eye and the continuous flow of blood from his mouth. Not that Siki escaped either. His main defensive effort was to prevent Georges landing on his chin with the famous right, and to do this Siki held both gloves before his face. But Carpenter penetrated this defense, and in this round the Frenchman sent Siki rolling to the floor with a duplicate of the blow that staggered Dempsey in the second round of the Jersey City battle. The Negro struggled to his knees while Georges crouched over him ready to administer the knockout. But he could not. At the count of nine the The physical make-up of Battling Sikl has been likened to that of the leopard. In action his great muscles play fascinating under a dark skin. His form is in striking contrast to the graceful Carpenter, whose foot movement is that of the aesthetic dancer Sikl is typical of the brigades of picked Senegalose soldiers brought to the western front during the World War. Stalwart, possessed of great strength and endurance and an irresistible foe when excited, he crouches and bundles together his massive muscular shoulders much after the fashion of Jack Dempsey. Hia Broad Grin A broad grin, exposing the perfect white teeth so typical of the negrold, lights up his face as he goes into disty combat. At times the grin narrows until it becomes somewhat of a leer, perhaps intended to frighten an adversary. In all of his ring engagements in France Skii has been successful. But in none of them prior to his bout with Carpentier did he display any terrific punching power. He knocked out Harry Reeves, a former light-heavy-weight champion of England, in the sixth round of a match in Marseilles and received the decision over Marcel Nilles in fifteen rounds in Paris. After the latter bout Carpentier's manager, Francois Descamps, who is credited with being a shrewd judge of fighting ability, asserted Sikl was such a poor fighter he would not permit of Carpentier meeting him. Sikl also outpointed Paul Journee, the lumbering French heavyweight who visited the United States and helped to train Carpentier for his fight in which he met defeat at the hands of Jack Dempsey. Journee twice was defeated by heavyweights of the second class while in the United States. The success of the Sonegasse possibly will start talk of a match between him and Harry Willis, the American Negro heavyweight, who is being groomed as a prospect for a championship bout with Dempsey. Comes from Africa Sikit is the third "foreigner" to gain pugilistic fame during the present year. First came Luis Angel Firpo, an Argentinian giant. In New York and Now Jersey he met only what is termed, in sporting parlance "trial horses," but his superiority in these bouts was so marked that leading static experts predicted for him a great future. They declared Firpo needed THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1922 black sprang to his feet chased the champion around and around the ring with swift, vicious body blows, and finally floored him with a left and right to the jaw. The crowd gasped. Carpenter, dazed and groggy, staggered to his feet and the bell saved him. Round four saw the battle growing fiercer and more unrestrained but the real excitement was reserved for the fifth and the final sixth Begins to Foul At the start of the fifth the champion began the first of a series of fouls, any one of which should have resulted in his instant disqualification. As Bikit a seconds removed the stool from his corner it caught on the ropes. The Negro looked around to see what had happened and Georges, rushing over caught him a terrific smash on the chin. Right there Bikit dropped back 10,000 years and came on solely to batter and smash. There was no semblance of boating on either side. Twice the referee warned the champion for butting but foul succeeded foul as Goorges felt his strength and victory ebbing. Bikit knocked him against the ropes and then in a sportsmanlike manner leaned forward to lift the champion to his feet. A quick blow to the jaw nearly dropped the black, who looked appearing at the retrese. The third man in the ring took no notice of him, but the crowd did, and from then on Carpentier fought to the accompaniment of all the abuse the crowd could hurt. Carpentier Gets Sleeper The last round was a fight of madmen for the brief minute and ten seconds it lasted. Then punched to the ropes, Carpentier half fell, keeping one foot on the ground. It was this that led to the end. Rushing in to deliver the knockout, Sikl struck Carpentier a leg with his own and the white man fell flat. Immediately Descamps saw his chance. He rushed into the ring, began to massage the fallen man's leg and cried loudly that it was a foul. The referee backed him and gave his decision. The crowd went wild, shouting all manner of epithets at Carpentier as he was carried out. Then they stormed forward toward the referee, but columns of police rushed to protect him and held the crowd back. Meanwhile Sikl, carried to his corner on the shoulders of shouting enthustas, had to be forbly restrained from dashing after Carpentier and continuing the bout outside the ring. Still the crowd shouted and stormed and hissed. Finally they were quieted by the announcement that a new decision would be given by the judges. Nearly every one of the 30,000 waited an hour to hear the official verdict that the Negro won by a technical knockout.-The New York World. only careful tutoring in the finer points of the game of hit, stop and get away to place him among the first and foremost. Then from the Philippines came a mite of a man called Pancho Vila. He tipped the scales at 110 pounds. Before many fortnights had passed, he had pounded his small self through a goodly part of the bantamweight class, and then captured the American flyweight title from Johnny Buff by a knockout. Senegal, Siki's home, is a French Colonial dependency in Western Equatorial Africa. The inhabitants of the country are mainly Moors and allied Berber races and Negroes. The latter, however, form the greater portion of the population—New York World. SIKI DECLARED WORLD'S NEW LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP PARIS, Sept. 24.—The Boxing Federation tonight declared Sikt, the light heavyweight champion of the world and heavyweight champion of France. It announced that it intended sending a regular challenge for him to meet all comers to the American boxing authorities. "You had better cable Mr Rickard tonight that I am willing to fight Dempsey right away," said the Senegalese to the Associated Press correspondent. "This will be enough fighting for today," remarked M. Heller. Sikt's manager, as he quickly started his protege toward his dressing room. The reversal of the first decision of the referee in giving the bout to Carpentier on an alleged foul probably saved the boxing game in France from a black eye, as the crowd apparently was unwilling to countenance a fairly defeated man, completely out and helpless, being declared the winner. This particularly was true by reason of the fact that there had been two other disqualifications in the preliminaries, both fighters who profited by the decisions belonging to the "stable" of Francis Descamps, Carpentier's manager. DRISCOLL OFFERS SIKI $100,000 TO BOX HERE An offer of $100,000 for a fifteen- round decision contest with Harry Willis. Negro heavyweight, was cabled last night to Battling Siki, Senegalese boxer, who defeated Georges Carpenter in Paris yesterday, by Dave Driscoll, matchmaker for the Ebbets-MoKeever Exhibition Company, operators of Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. The offer suggested October 12 as a date for the bout, with the idea that Sikil is now in good physical condition and could reach this country in a week's time. Should this be unacceptable, however, Sikil was advised that the offer holds good for a contest next year on May 30. Memorial Day. THE STATUS OF NEGRO FIGHTERS Carpentier Doesn't Draw the Color Line Georges Carpentier European heavy weight champion and holder of the world light heavyweight title, will fight Battling Siki a Negro in Paris, France, tomorrow afternoon and the gate is expected to reach 1,000,000 francs. The scrap will be held in the new Buffalo Velodrome and may be witnessed by 40,000 persons. Carpentier never has drawn the color line. He fought Joe Jeanneette in Paris eight years ago and lost the decision at the end of fifteen rounds. In 1911 he was beaten in five rounds by Dixie Kid an American Negro middleweight. The Frenchman also won on points in twenty rounds with George Gunther an Australian black Battling Siki is a powerfully built slugger of the Sam Langford type, who has been numerous and rater in European rings but Carpentier is expected to outclass him in every way. Dempsey-Wills Bout Abandoned Bo many obstacles have been thrown in the way by William Muldoon and Jack Kearns that the plan to stage the Dempsey Wills bout in the Polo Grounds next month has been abandoned by the Republic A C. The State Athletic Commission, however, has sanctioned a "mixed bout" between Danny Edwards, Negro bantam, and Irish Johnny Curtin, at a local club next Monday night which should pave the way for other scraps of this mature Dempsey and Wills are slated to settle their differences in Jersey City July 4. 1923 unless Kearns takes another runout powder Clem Johnson Must Show Form Before one Clem Johnson colored boxer, is permitted to face Harry Willa in Madison Suare Garden next Friday night he must prove to the satisfaction of the State Athletic Commission that he knows something about glove fighting Johnson, therefore, will be subjected to a private test by four heavyweights Wednesday afternoon.

THE GOLD HUNTER HARVARD RAISES RACE QUESTION New Application Querica Seen as Move Against Jews, Despite Denial CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Sept. 20. Race prejudice in Harvard again is in evidence as a result of the publication of a new blank for application for admission which must be signed by every student entering the undergraduate department. This move on the part of the faculty has renewed the agitation that developed last June when it became known that the university authorities had decided to limit registration which not a few contended was a move to keep Jews from entering that institution The blank, for the first time in Hardvard a 255 years of experience, asks the student to designate his race and color as well as his religious preference. The applicant is also asked to state the birthplace of his father and what change if any, has been made since birth in his name and that of his father. Those who fought so vigorously but unsuccessfully last June, to have Harvard deny intention of harring Jewish students, see in the new application blanks another drive against Jews. Not Compulsory The application blank states specifically applicants are required to fill in, yet Prof Henry Pennypacker, chairman of the board on admissions, which worded the application, said there would be no compulsion and it would not hurt a student not to answer. Asked the purpose of the question, Prof Pennypacker replied they are intended to get amplier information. He went on. We have had requests from the United States Department of Commerce for this very information ab of our students. It would be unfair to say this has anything to do with race discrimination or the Jewish question. The forms were decided upon last January, long before it became a matter of newspaper discussion — Evening Journal, September 20 D. HAMILTON JACKSON By ERIC D WALROND On his way to Copenhagen in the interest of the Negro workers of the Virgin Islands, D. Hamilton Jackson, president of the St. Croix Labor Union, made a flying trip through New York Wednesday, and I had a very rare opportunity to interview one of the really distinguished figures of our generation. Perhaps more than any other Negro, with the possible exception of Marcus Garvey, D. Hamilton Jackson is the most maligned and misrepresented character in the American press. Consistent opponent of the pseudo-civil administration of the Virgin Islands, Mr Jackson has fought for the rights of the people, is a violent champion of their cause and is loved and idolized by them. I talked with Mr. Jackson for about two and a half hours and in that bit of time learned a lot about men and politics and international diplomacy Mr. Jackson is tall, slightly built vaultyked a in Mr. DuBos, of a dark sunburn hue, and reminds me very much of a West Indian schoolmaster. One would imagine, from the descriptions of T. S. Stribling and other American capitalist-journalists who have been to our island possessions, that Mr. Jackson is the two-fisted bludgeoning type of lender. On the contrary, Mr. Jackson reminds me of a poet, of a philosopher of a man steeped in culture and idealism. He is overwhelmingly well read. Unaffectedly he, during our brief talk, quoted Virgil, Dickens, Caryle, Wendell Phillips, Cromwell, Lincoln, Plato, Mark Twain, Marcus Aurelius. Not only is he familiar with the political history of this country, but he is a profound student of the civilization of Europe. On his fingertips he has the history of art, culture and literature in Europe. Usually, we in America are of the opinion that unless one is from the metropolis one is uninformed. As a matter of fact, the contrary is true. Mr. Jackson, to some, may be a one-horse town man; he may be the king of an army of black natives marooned on a cluster of coral islands, but nevertheless he is, spiritually and intellectually, one of our truly big men. He is the personification of bigness. Were he white, rest assured, he would be today governor of the Virgin islands of the United States. But he is an indefatigable race patriot. To use a word he thought fit to apply to me, he is "brimmingful" with love for his race. "A man." he said, "may curse me, may wrong me, may do anything he likes with me, but the moment he talks about my color or about my race. I am at his throat. There is where I go to fall smiling." Jackson is a cross, done in black, between Gandhi and Trotsky. We are destined to hear more about him. He refused to talk for publication. So much has been said and written, one way or another, about the imbroglio in the Virgin Islands that he is careful—justly so—not to run the risk of being misquoted, especially when he will be well on the way across the Atlantic when this appears in print. However, he promised, on his return to America, to publish a manifesto on the American occupation of the Virgin Islands. FURS GRANTING AVENUE L. M.

It was reliably indicated tonight that the Allied note to Kemal would request an immediate armistice meeting at Mudanja, in Asia Minor, fifteen miles northwest of Brussels. To meet the insistence of the British that no claims of the Angora Government should be accepted in advance of a peace conference, today's plan would be subject to further discussions and approval by a full peace conference. Taking the so-called Nationalist pact as a basis, the Allied representatives discussed for nearly four hours the Turkish demands. Lord Curzon, British Foreign Secretary, expressed doubt as to whether his government would agree with any of the conditions of the Nationalists in advance of a peace conference but finally consented to forward the plan to London tonight at the insistence of Premier Poincaré. Poincaré Backs Turke Fully Poincaré favored out and out approval of all the Kemalist demands, but French statesmen realize that the treaty can hope for is limited acceptance by Great Britain.

CONSTANTINOPLE APPEARS TO BE KENAL'S OBJECTIVE LONDON, Sept 22.--Kemal's forces are rapidly increasing on the Chanak frontier but have committed no overt acts of hostility, says a Reuter dispatch from Constantinople dated Friday. Reliable reports say a still more serious concentration is occurring at Amid, to which region Kemal, the Turkish Nationalist leader, is proceeding. There seems to be ground for believing the Kemalists will make Constantinople their objective rather than Chanak, inasmuch as larger quantities of supplies are available in the Amid region, and the hostile population of Constantinople would cause trouble in the rear of the British. Seizes Exine and Threatens Kum - Kalch — Can Stop Advance of British Fleet CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 22. — Turkish Nationalist forces have seized the town of Exine, on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles, and are threatening Kum-Kalch, an important key position on the southern side of the straits. They were nowhere opposed. This move, say naval experts here, will enable the Turks to prevent free ingress to the Dardanelles to the British fleet units on the way from Malta. The important positions involved were until today occupied by French and Italian, and from them the heavy Turkish batteries can command the entrance to the straits. BRITAIN ASKS THAT DARDANELLES BE PLACED UNDER LEAGUE CONTROL LONDON, Sept. 12.—An authoritative statement of the British government's views on the Dardanelles situation, issued here this evening, says: Curious misapprehensions exist as to what Great Britain wants. She is seeking nothing for herself and is pursuing no short-sighted policy of her own nor one based on amour propre. Such considerations do not arise here. The supreme interest—no modification of which can be entertained—in the effective neutralization of the straits and a full guarantee of f. navigation for all countries under the League of Nations or some other effective international organization. All other matters at issue are secondary and subject to peaceful accommodation between Turkey and the states more directly concerned. BAPTIST CONVENTION WILL MEET IN ST.

It was decided to hold the 42d annual session of the National Baptist Convention in St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 6 to 11, 1922. This action is based on the importance of holding a meeting this year, and the distance of travel, the rates and hazardous times for a trip to be made to California. St. Louis being more centrally located, the committee is of the opinion that a better delegation can be had at that season of the year. W. G. PARKS, President. R. B. HUDSON, Secretary. Selma, Ala.

THE ELEMENT OF TIME THE Universal Negro Improvement Association has been in existence four years and a half. During that time it has belted the world with nearly a thousand divisions, has enrolled hundreds of thousands of members and has attracted the attention of the leaders of modern thought. It has made progress by leaps and bounds, and its success in mobilizing and organizing black folks everywhere has been miraculous When a member from Panama wrote the editor of The Negro World in the fall of 1919, "We people down our way regard your movement as a religion," he explained the contagious and infectious enthusiasm of the members and the crusading zeal by which they disseminated the good news. The U. N. I. A gave to the scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia a liberation of the spirit and an uplift of the soul. It told the ebony-hued son of Ham that he was created in the Divine image, the same as other men, that he was entitled, like the rest of mankind, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It aroused him from the sleep of centuries and told him that he could go out and carve out his destiny as his ancestors did centuries ago by the waters of the Nile, on the Isle of Meroe, and on the plains and plateaus of Ethiopia. The doubting Thomases and the hypercritical cynics and pessimists in the race have complained because the vast and colossal industrial program was not put over in the short space of three years. Although some of these critics are college bred men, they seem to have read little outside of their text books. If they had read more widely they would have learned that the Brooklyn bridge, the underground tube connecting Brooklyn and New York, and the New York subway were not constructed in a day. They would also have learned that wireless telegraphy, the aeroplane and the submarine were not perfected in the twinkling of an eye. Thirteen years, four months and twenty-one days elapsed from the beginning of the construction on January 3, 1870, to the opening of the first Brooklyn bridge on May 24, 1883. And years elapsed before the $25,094,577 expended in the construction was returned in profits. It took six years to construct the Pennsylvania railroad tunnel under the Hudson river. It took thirty-four years to construct and formally open the North tunnels under the Hudson river, from Jersey City to Morton street, New York. Nearly ten years elapsed between the time when Tesla, the electrical wizard, spoke at the Yale Alumni dinner of the possibilities of electricity and wireless telegraphy and the time when Marcom flashed his message by wireless across the seas. And it took nearly a quarter of a century from the discovery of the electric wave by Hertz to the flashing of Marcom's message. The same might be said of the perfection of the submarine and the aeroplane and the laving of the Atlantic cable. If three years was the limit of time extended to a bridge builder, engineer and inventor to put over his feat, ninety per cent of the inventions and engineering feats which have dazzled the imagination of mankind would have been nipped in the bud and died stillborn. So, we say to the doubting Thomases and hypercritical cynes and pessimists who find fault with the U. N. I. A. "Have patience, brethren." BATTLING SIKI BATTLING SIKI, the Senegalese soldier who knocked out Georges Carpentier, the idol of Paris, on September 24, is the fourth Negro heavyweight to attain international fame. Molyneaux, Peter Jackson and Jack Johnson are the other three men of Negro blood who riveted the world's attention. Molyneaux, who stood five feet eight inches in his stockings and weighed 198 pounds in fighting togs, fought Tom Cribb, the famous English champion, two battles in 1812. In the first battle he knocked Cribb out, but the crowd broke into the ring, created pandemonium and permitted Cribb to regain consciousness. In the second battle Molyneaux did not train, as he underestimated his opponent. Cribb milled on the retreat and finally won. Peter Jackson, the gentleman boxer, tall and graceful, as light on his feet as a dancing master, with a knockout punch in either hand/vanquished the invincible Tom Slavin in the early nineties and was the logical contender for the world's heavyweight fighter, but John L. Sullivan drew the color line. Jack Johnson on the Fourth of July, 1910, in Reno, Newada, before thousands of spectators and under a blazing sun sent Jim J. Jeffries down to his Waterloo. Sam Langford was and Harry Wills is of championship caliber, but they have never yet had the golden opportunity to fight a world champion. Battling Siki, who manifested the courage of his race, which saved the day for France in the recent world's war, has an opportunity which only comes once in a while to a man of African descent. If he will train properly, live sensely and keep a cool, level head, nothing can stop him from becoming the world's most famous and most admired gladiator. It remains to the undying glory of the French sporting public that he would not permit the referee to give the victory to the badly injured Carpenter on an "alleged" foul. But it rushed to the hands and created such a commotion that the referee was compelled to reverse his decision and give the palm of victory to the man whom in belonged, to the brave and brawny black soldier. He moves that the sense of fair play still lives in the French --- THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1822 Christendom today is singing hymns of hate against Turkey. This is so unlike Christianity and the principles of Jesus. The reactionary press of England and the New York press generally have been systematically feeding the sensitive and sensational mind of the masses with exaggerated, if not false and one-sided, colored news about the Turks' "atrocities." This vicious policy of the yellow press has brought our already unhappy, miserable world to the verge of a "new war." Anyone who has followed the tangle in the Near East and the developments in the British Empire since the armistice can see and detect the machinations of Great Britain in the present Turko-Greek complications. The inhuman imperialism of Great Britain and illegitimate ambition of Greece are striving to plunge the whole world again into another war, probably greater than the late war. And all the news we get about Turkey is from these two "honorable" countries. The world at least in its own interests should not take the news from Athens and London at its face value. Happily for mankind there are still peoples and leaders who can see far, even through dark mist and fog, with a clear vision. The British Labor party and the British dominions have fully realized what the next war would mean and also how reliable the news dispatches through London and Athens are. The Labor party refuses to send a single person to manufacture a single bullet to fight the Turks and together with the dominions is urging for peaceful negotiations. The French and Italian press and government leaders and their parlamen's have long ago discovered the British trick. They know full well that Great Britain wants them to fight her war so that she can further sateate her imperial greed. The French press and officials have gone even so far as to refute the theory, which is, in fact, a rumor spread by only one Greek, that the Turks set fire to Smyrna. They say the victorious Turks could never feed their beloved city to fire because their interests alone were at stake. Kemal Pashia has asked the League of Nations to send an impartial neutral commission to investigate the alleged atrocities of the Turks at Smyrna. No guilty person could dare suggest such an investigation. This is another proof of Kemal's integrity. In this connection it is but meet to let Mr. Clair Price, the American correspondent who had been to Turkey to investigate conditions there, before our readers his observations. In the Current History of this month Mr. Price says: But in the cases of the Western Christendom when Christian has deported a Christian, it is nothing, when Moslem has deported a Moslem it is less than nothing, when a Christian has massacred Moslem and a commission composed of the highest albed authorities in Constantinople has conducted a long and thorough investigation, its report is suppressed, but when Moslem has deported Christian and an American relief worker reaches Constantinople to tell of it the British Government proposes to the American, French and Italian Governments a joint international investigation into "atrocities" in Asia Minor. Recently before the present Greco-Turkish war the Angora Government expressed its will to welcome an international investigation into its "atrocities," provided Great Britain would welcome a similar investigation into her atrocities in India, Egypt and elsewhere. The British Government had no face nor courage to take up the challenge. The American editors are persistently asserting that the Straits must be kept open, otherwise the European interests are at stake. What are the European interests in the Dardanelles and Gallipoli? How are they closely related to "swallowing" the Turk, but of digesting what they have already wallowed in Asia and Africa. In other words, the European have determined to perpetuate the subjugation and slavery of the North and African peoples. And the "liberty loving" American editor is crying for the European interests which are at stake in their dream. What's Great Britain's intention inighting the Turks even if high-minded? To turn out the Strait into another Gibraltar, by which, eventually out last week, he can be assured of India's subjugation. Anyone who heaps Great Britain to carry out her schemes to a successful end will help the closed door policy of the British in the East. The "closed door" policy will increase the untold miseries of the Russian and Eastern European peoples. If Great Britain controls the Straits we are sure she will bluff all the Allies and control the Straits all by herself. Russia is directly hit and cannot be expected to at quot. It is a fresh political joke, indeed, to see the American press trying to defend the British "closed door" policy in the Norr East while they fought tooth and nail against that very policy in the Jar East. Perhaps the words far and near make such a marvelous change in the American temperament. Will Great Britain fight the Turks to save the Christians from the Turkish "atrocities"? No. She is too civilized for that. She has trampled humanity times without number during the last two hundred years and has not even condoned for her inhuman actions. But she will fight Turkey to save her booty and spoils in the Orient. Great Britain is today standing on a precipitous cliff on either side of which there is a deep, dark abyss. If she fights Turkey the whole of the Orient may side with Turkey against her, in which case may come true, defying Kipling's prophecy. But, alas, what a misery would overcome the world if that day comes! God forbid such a disaster! On the other hand, if Great Britain concedes to Turkish demands, her "prestige," which is already cast to the air in Asia, will be torn into rags. Either way the British Empire is on the verge of dissolution. That is why Great Britain is so desperate to fight Turkey. But the world must not take too seriously such a selfish, delirious exhibition of desperate bravo as Great Britain displays. We condemn the Turkish atrocities if the reports are true. But we have also to curse our "civilization" which has made such a merciless warfare possible. Christians slaughtered Christians in the late war. No cry for humanity then, but everyone for "war morale." Today the Turks have taken part in our ignominy. Tomorrow somebody else may take part in it. Christians first began it, and the world will follow it until we are completely purged of this ignominy. When the Greeks were occupying Smyrna and the adjoining territory they destroyed 130 Turkish villages, and the devastated region tells the tale of "c'est la guerre." When that news arrived we just thought that it was a triumph of Christianity and grinned with a smile and dubbed that news inside somewhere buried in advertisements. Again when the Greek army was retreating, beaten by the Turks, it systematically resorted to set fire to the villages before evacuation. Who knows if the Greeks did not set fire to Smyrna themselves through hatred and jealousy? None in the world but the Northcliffe papers led by the London Times protested against the wanton rapacity of the Greeks. Where was humanity then? It seems that the Christian nations have a double standard of humanity, morality and justice; perhaps a rubber standard that expands and contracts at their will. THE PASSING OF NOTED MEN MR JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, the editor of the Minneapolis Appeal; Rev. Alexander Hannum, pastor of Wesley Zion A. M. E. Church, of Philadelphia, and Mr. G. Grant Williams, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, have added their names to the list of noted men of the race who succumbed to the Grim Reaper this month. Mr John Quincy Adams had reached the ripe age of seventy-four years and was struck by an automobile. He was a brother of Cyrus Field Adams, who for more than a dozen years was Deputy Register of the Treasury in Washington, D.C. Both of the Adams brothers for several years had been interested in the civil and political status of the Negro. Rev. Alexander Hannum came from Tennessee to Philadelphia about four years ago. Fall, manly, gracious, brilliant and magnete, he was then in his tortures. A splendid career was before him. He would probably have been elected to the biship price in 1924. But Rev Hannum broke down under the strain of a very large pastorate. He was ambitious and strenuous and paid the price. He would have made a fine bishop The career of Mr G Grant Williams illustrates that where there is a will there is a way. Twenty-five years ago he was a barber in Hartford, Conn., and was the agent for the Philadelphia Tribune and New York Age. He was about thirty years of age and had only a common school education. He had had no training or experience in journalism. No one saw in him then the possible success of Chris Perry as the editor of the Philadelphia Tribune. Some even thought that he was over ambitious in aspiring to the presidency of the State Summer League, which was founded by J P Peaker an organizer and orator of unquestioned ability. But G Grant Williams was tall, slimwart and magnetic. Even, sagacious eyes looked out from his dark complexion and intellectuality was stamped upon his brows. He made a hustling agent for the two papers that he represented. In the late summer of 1888, as chairman of the Executive Committee of the State Summer League he led charge of the details of the annual celebration at Savin Rock, a summer resort on Long Island. Soid nearly two miles from New Haven, Conn. He staged event posts from every part of Connecticut to Savin Rock. And Mr. I. Thomas For time the editor of the New York Age and D. Macon Webster a New York lawyer, found a tremendous crowd awaiting their arrival. New years tasted Mr. Williams was called by Mr. Chris Perr to Philadelphia. His resourcefulness, tireless energy and executive and administrative ability made itself manifest. He packed the Academy Music center, with his Clet Club concert, and left the host before the date of the performance. As served by the Philadelphia ministers, he staged a successful emancipation celebration of some times in a large church and concert at the New Jersey Museum. He mark the Philadelphia Lifelong a pro-versure. Not a great scholar thinker, or writer, or great Writer, show what a man who possess natural executive ability, or perceptual energy and ambition can learn on the street and from the street before him, or illustrates what he is like. YAWPER NO. 0015 THIS esteemed editor of that Christian personal call "The Star of Zion," in a recent editorial adumbration, contered in many words, has indicted, convicted and sentenced the Universal Negro Improvement Association, an organization carefully unworthy of the respect of such highly religious and genteel himself. And yet this learned editorial writer does not appear to know of his own knowledge a single thing in the Universal Negro improvement Association or its founder. What a wonderful honor some of these religious editors are and how it may be felt and farg-minded, how scrupulous home and current are in the matter of handling the truth. Readily one of the most just like humans. We've got the "Star of Zion" in our classified ham. He has been placed in the "M" total number, under the title of DOG IN MEN June 20, make the copies begin in V. who said, "The more you trust in the Lord, the more I trust in very much the land and country, and the state of the New America.

With equal care it holds out to each of the three parties principally concerned concessions which may be claimed as spoils of a not intolerable compromise. The difficulties attending the treatment of Constantinople are quite as complex. The Turkish armies, flushed with victory, are not to enter the zones of neutrality, Mr Lloyd George tells us, least fire and massacre outdo the tragedy of Smyrna, yet Turkey is in the end to have Constantinople "Religious and racial minorities" are to be protected, but these minorities are collectively the majority where the Turk is himself a "religious and racial minority" and not one of these races but in its own home displayed an aptitude for modern progress, and for government at least improved, which have put to shame the sloven, unprogressive realms of the Turk. The proposal that Entento troops shall withdraw from Constantinople after the signing of a new treaty to replace the Treaty of Nevers need cause no surprise since that was arranged for last March, that the Turks shall occupy Tirce to the Maritza, including Adrianople, is added reason why Kemal, if he continues as wise or as well advised as he has been in war, should accept the term. They would not have seamed possible on Armistice Day. Then the Turk was driven out of Europe. Then people thought he would surely stay out—one thing gained by the waste of treasure and effusion of slaughter. He has come back. No one now can doubt that upon some terms he will have Constantinople. The Christian minorities are to be "protected" under the League of Nations. They have heard of this "protection" before—in Armenia, in the Lebanon, in Macedonia, where a special gondarmerie was promised for the purpose. The result was always disappointment. To them the word of fate will be "the peaceful and orderly re-establishment of Turkey's authority" in regions whence it was supposed to be forever banished. The Near East policy of France wins in this not a signal victory, of which some practical benefits have been observed, beyond political prestige. Even Great Britain gains some concession for her pride in the provision that the straits shall be "demilitarized." With the key to Constantinople and the Black Sea in the hands of the League of Nations, the power to enforce League authority might devolve in time of trouble upon the strongest naval member. Anything may happen in the Near East except a miracle; good government by the powers whose victory in war was the signal for massacre and deportations that meant death, culminating in the destruction of Smyrna, is too nearly miraculous for justified hope. The view of experience and disillusionment will be that that the Sick Man of Europe is back in his comfortable hospital bed, kept alive as of old by the clashing alms of the great powers of Europe and their failure to agree upon the executorship of the estate—N. Y. World. The details of the arrangement will be discussed, if Kemal concure, at a conference of Venice, in which Japan, Romania, Jugo-Slavia and Greece will sit, as well as Turkey, which is to be the new member of the League. In the end, Russia also must become a League member. Her reported view that the questions of the straits concern only Black Bee nations is made FOREIGN AFFAIRS By H. G. MUDGAL . . . On battle fields " THE CROSS OR THE CRESCENT—WHICH? BY ROBERT L. POSTON Secretary-General Universal Negro Improvement Association There seems to be a revolt against the cross. As a Christian I regret this, but as a man I understand. The refreshing doctrine of the Man of Nazareth is not being indicted. Kemal—yes, the whole Mohammedan world would be the last to do that. They love the cause which led Christ to his death. They love the Sweet simplicity of the Christ-like life, and the promise such a life holds out to the believers. Their wrath is not turned against this. Mohammed would turn in his grave if such were the case. But the world of Islam is impatient with the land grabbers, who, in the name of Christ, do the work of the devil. They see in Great Britain and other arrogant Christian nations not a reflection of the Man of Sorrow, but the personification of the man of hate. Lucifer in his most balmy days never had a mind more fertile for evil than that which possesses the Christian world at this time. No one, of course, wants to see an overthrow of Christianity, but fow are satisfied with the present brand as practiced today. Christianity has never had a chance. Christ came unto His own (the Jews) and His own received Him not. Then He went unto the white Gentiles and He has fared little better. Perhaps it is time for another racial extraction to take the lead in propagating the doctrine. Many think that the kindly sons of Ham are by nature and adaptability the proper ones to teach the truth, for like the Master, they have been prepared by stages for it. From the time that Simon, the Cyrenaica, assisted the Master in bearing the cross up Calvary, the race to which he belonged has continued in faith, until now it seems ripe for the larger things of love, and who knows but what the Master has sent the Turk to sound the alarm. At least this is a wholesome thought to dwell on, and one not without some foundation in sacred history. The world needs a saviour. It appears that no white man can be that. They have had their chance and failed lamentably. Their philosophy does not run in that direction. The darker races must to the front. Europe has given the Macedonian cry, and whether in the name of the cross or the crescent, Africa has a duty. The terrible Turk would not be so terrible after all if he can bring the arrogant European to sober reason, even if it takes the sword to do it. WHAT A HOLY WAR MIGHT MEAN A possible result of the allies continuing in Constantinople might be a holy war. A holy war carried on by the Moslems might mean the loss by death or imprisonment of every white person in Moslem territory. It might mean the loss of British sovereignty in India, her power in Egypt; it might mean the loss to Britain, France and Belgium of their African possessions. The total destruction of Smyrna and the butchery of thousands of its people by the Turks give some faint notion of what might be expected in hundreds of cities and whole provinces should the colored races begin revenge for ages of exploitation and injustices at the hands of the whites. In such a war the white race would find itself facing not only 460,000,000 Mohammedans, but the millions of India who, though not of that faith, will make common cause with Moslema, with the Egyptians whose millions are just now fiercely anti-English and with the Negroes of Africa. It is not unlikely that in such a war the yellow race might do more than hint to the European occupiers of their ports to take themselves home. All these peoples have been exploited by the whites, sometimes in a shameful manner. A handful of officials represent the dominant power. In most cases the white man's rule has brought some good—from his point of view. But the natives resent it. They resent railways; they even resent irrigation ditches which prevent famine; they resent the white man's form of justice, his religion, his feeling of superiority. If that is true among college bread native Indians, how much stronger must the feeling be among the Arabs of the deserts, the fellahs of Egypt? From the white point of view these people are incapable of self-government. Doubtless if many of them were left to themselves anarchy would result. Small bodies of white officials and small military units keep them in check. Asia and Africa have been exploited for their natural wealth. All these exploited peoples belong to colored races. They are not all Morlems, but the latter live among them they are spreading their religion and their hate of the white on every hand This is what makes England's policy in the Near East dangerous to the whole world. The fear of a rucu war between whites and colored peoples is not the result of a diseased imagination. Nor can it be dissipated by top-tofty optimism. When British generals like Townshend and writers like Middleton sound such solomn warnings to their government and to the world, it is time to listen.—New York Daily News, Sept. 24, 1922.

Rheumatism A Brief History of Treatment Had It way may become the savior of the world, forgetting all the while the deeper question as to whether the world wants to be saved at all. To save the world against its will is merely postponing inevitable destruction. "What we need today is not more machinery. Machinery will not save the world. We have in our own country a remarkable bit of evidence as to the power of machinery to solve problems essentially human. We made a new law. We embodied it in our Constitution. We call it Prohibition. Need I give you any lottery about the helplessness of the law to affect the result that it promised to bring about? We have too little faith in God and our higher selves. Religion Fails to Control Religion Fails to Control While religion has been influential in the lives of the plaus, it has not controlled the moral democracy of men as individuals, of groups of nations, of government in such a way as to make them seek to attain an approximation of the fundamental doctrine of the brotherhood of man. This term is not used in any sentimental fashion. It does not beaten ardent, passionate love between all the members of the human race. It means the recognition of the humanity of all men and the need for cooperation on a basis that will permit each race, each nation, each people, to live a life of freedom without hindering the development of the others. "Why all the disturbances abroad? Why all the preparation for the next war?" War today cripples the victor and the vanquished. The word will not be led to pence by any artificial means. There is only one guide to our perplexed world and that is religion. We need no new philosophy. We need no new kind of curative. We have never seriously divided the divine remedy.

A RED LETTER DAY IN ATLANTIC CITY A RED LETTER DAY IN ATLANTIC CITY By CLAWSON HARRIS ATLANTIC CITY — Thursdays; September 7, and Sunday, September 10, were red letter days for the members and friends of Atlantic City Division No. 11. The former date was the day in which the Division welcomed Mr. Chris Dickson, the Executive Secretary and delegate of our Division, whom we have all learned to love. Mr Dickson come back to this city looking bright and very optimistic. On entering the door of the hall he was ordered a hearty greeting by members and friends, who were all eager to shake his hand. After the preliminaries of the meeting were through, the President called upon the delegate to deliver his report. In doing terms he spoke of the achievement of the convention, making special mention of the delegation sent to Europe, the re-election of Marcus Garvey, and the message of welcome from the King and Queen of Abysinia. In a voice filled with emotion he led of the great efforts made by the army to disrupt the convention, but he lifted his audience to their feet when in eloquent terms he shouted. The enemy may fight us, he may stand in our path but our foundation could our cause is just and righteous. and Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. will rest on triumphantly. At the end of his address he was greeted with conferring applause, due mainly to the high esteem in which he is held by the members and friends. On Sunday, September 10, a representative crowd was in attendance at Old Fellows Hall, it being widely advertised that the Hon. Fred A. Toote and Mr. Dickson would speak on the subject, 'Why Did Marcus Garvey bind a Delegation to Europe?' Each speaker was introduced in his turn and each held the audience spellbound with his eloquence. A collection of $8131 was raised towards the delegation fund. On Saturday night, September 16, a smoker was held in the hall by the Legions and on Sunday night a large attendance was out to hear Mr Dickson and Prof Buck, who were scheduled to speak. Atlanta City has taken on new life in the last few weeks, and this Division is prepared to hold the fort against the attacks of the enemy. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1922 BLUEFIELDS CHAPTER, NO. 3, NICARAGUA, CELEBRATES CLOSING OF THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION On the 1st of August we, the officers and members, celebrated the opening day of the convention. Our Liberty Hall was crowded. The meeting was opened by the president, Grant W West, by singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers," with the officers in their robes and choir in their uniform of white, and all members in the color of Red, Black and Green saplies. The president then introduced Attorney-at-law L. E. Green as chairman for the occasion. The chairman then proceeded with the program 'From Greenland's Ice Mountains' was sung, followed by prayer. Several addresses were delivered by the following gentlemen: Messrs. Cadner, Mitchell, the President for the Chapter and the General Bect. It was a well-spent evening. The Ethiopian anthem was rendered, and all went away satisfied. All during the month of August special meetings were held twice a week, prayers being offered up to Almighty God for the guidance in the work, all making supplication for deliverance. On the morning of the 31st of August at 7 o'clock the chapter held divine service in the Mount Olivet Baptist Chapel, when the Rev. D. A. Timpson preached the Thanksgiving sermon. At 13 o'clock noon the officers and members all gathered at our Liberty Hall and formed a procession. It was one that breaks the record. Never was such a procession witnessed in the city, and we believe that it will never be forgotten. All the government offices, stores and shops were closed for the occasion. On the arrival at the Palace the General Sect, who took charge of the procession, called the procession to attention. Advancing the following to the front: U. N. I. A. banner, His Excellency's banner, Black Cross and Green Fields of Africa banners, with the U. N. I. A.

Dear Hir—Please grant a small space in your valuable column, to express certain feelings now exist in West Africa, especially on the Gold Coast. Such feelings came about through reading of The Negro World. (When I say West Africa I mean especially British West Africa.) At present there is almost a universal tendency of Garveyism prevalent, though without the slightest demonstration, and that is owing to the great force of the British Government, the Criminal Code and "Chamberlain's" white man's prestige. Much blame may be attached to the backward state of the Negro in West Africa. I say so advisedly, as it is an accepted fact that the Negroes of America and the West Indies originally came from West Africa, and if they were fairly advanced today they would take over a government of their own. The reason for the difference is obvious—environment. The desire of a Free and Redeemed Africa is the byword of almighty second person you may meet, and the name of the Hon. Marcus Garvey forms a sort of prayer on every lip, and the advent of the Black Star Line. We have many men of education who may be willing to assist in putting over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, as in the majority of cases we have been taught what is real manliness, race pride and race consciousness. Angliomanic—Before the Hon. Marous Garvey came on the scene of universal Negro affairs it was the general feeling of the average West African to ape the Englishman, irrespective of consequences, especially in Gold Coast. And his reason was simply based on the ground of never being able to shake off the yoke of the European. Therefore, it would be better that he allow his daughter to be friendly with the white man, from which an issue would come who might be less segregated than he. And even up to this moment of writing the segregated area of Acera could not be trespassed by a native, as his presence on the grounds would be a menace to the health of the occupants. Meanwhile, his own dear sister, who lives in the same affected area or house or compound with him, is the bed companion of the said occupant of the segregated area, and such a procedure is upheld by law. Howbeit, conditions, though outwardly the same, the realization of a probable freedom as taught by the U. N. I. A. makes a very great difference even among the heathen and illiterate Mr Garvey has opened a new chapter in the life of the Negro, for which work he shall not only be blessed, but his name shall be immortalized. A Leader—In the same manner Rev. Eason was appointed the American leader. It would be essential that some one be appointed at this convention as leader of the West African Negroes and the program of the U. N. I. A. prouped and assimilated throughout the length and breadth of West Africa. A great Negro nation will be the alternative and the word "native" will no more be misapplied. Though we are aware of the uphill game in putting over the program of the U. N. I. A., the emancipation of Africa and Africa for the Africans, we are positive that to prepare the minds of the people as to the consequences of freedom and the necessity of organization and the means of alleviating the present sufferings, the work would be made easier and the necessary preparation begun for such a change. Little has been done in the way of cooperation by West Africa. Not that the work of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the program of the U. N. I. A. is not understood, but the right step in the right way has not been taken. 1. Which is the Negro Homeland—America or Africa? 2. Are not all Negroes invited to buy shares in the Black Star Line? 3. Is not the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation registered in America? 4. Are not these ships intended to do trade with Africa? 5. Why should not offices of the Black Star Line be established in West Africa? 6. Is not the redemption of Africa the object? If these questions are not insignificant, some immediate move in that direction should be taken, so that when the sudden clash comes there may be no fumbling and perhaps an unnecessary amount of killing among ourselves. Conditions in West Africa are far from being alike to those in America, and to think of Africa from an American viewpoint is erroneous. Meanwhile we are 100 per cent. in agreement with our notable Leader and Provisional President.

German poet, the fascio of the League of Nations; the doubts in Canada and Australia, the sentiments in France and Italy; the displeasure even in England and Scotland; conditions in Turkey, and general disaffection throughout Europe, together with Japan's attitude and America's nonchalance, is sufficient even to disturb the quietude at Buckingham Palace. A crack of doom as far as Europe (especially England) is concerned is almost unavoidable, and unless she goes about repairing it herself the British Empire is bound to meet an awful shock. The Negro Convention At first we thought it had nothing to do with us, but now we have found out that it is a matter more concerning us than those who brought it about. But, as we are unprepared we shall have to lie low. A few days ago we held a meeting as to the advisability of sending one one to represent us at the convention. After some discussion it was recommended that we first get the support of the Gramancha of Acera, King Amoui IV, of Faniht the Omnuehme of Akwapim, Akwamu, Eastern and Western Akim, the Konor of Krobe, the leaders in Ashanti, and such other paramount chiefs having sway and influence in native affairs, before such a move be taken. We realize the value of education and the present necessity of having Overiorda, but at all cost we would gladly accept a change, preferably Marcus Garvey and the executive heads of the U N I A. A and C. L. With an associate as the Hon. Duse Mohamed All, of international fame, Professor Ferris. Mr J. E Bruce and others of that kind, we are confident that a far more congenial administration would be the result and every individual native would feel happy as a citizen of his own country, under his own government, by his own race. Methinks I see a grand procession of 400,000,000 Negroes proclaiming their leader as Garvey I. King of Guinea, in the same manner a King of Egypt was proclaimed. Not only are we looking forward for such a day, but we are positive that that day is not far distant. It matters little whether he is a monarch, a president or an emperor—if he is a full-blooded Negro the fulfillment of Holy Writ will then be exemplified. The grievances in British West Africa are numerous and becoming unbearable. One thing that must not be overlooked is that the paramount chiefs, kings or chiefs obtained their titles from a long line of lineage and as a fact in most cases, are of Royal Negro blood. As it is our desire that you become our Overlords, and as we are tired of being murdered, jailed, kicked, molested and segregated, and looted, plundered and exploited, we ask that you recognize our chiefs, kings and all our native rulers, and that they retain their respective positions with a wider and more intelligent scope under the new regime. In every part of these vast territories of West Africa minerals are in abundance; gold and diamonds are plentiful. It is essential that we learn to work these precious ores; to explore, to mine. In America and in the West Indies there are mining engineers, technical experts, explorers and other black men capable to handle any and every line of industry; be good enough to collect them in preparation for the rehabilitation of these United States of Guinea. Racially yours. J P WILLIAMS.

The New York Recording Laboratory, Inc. Fifth Ward, New York, NY ```markdown ``` The Turks are now occupying the center of the world stage, and are giving a performance which is attracting wide attention. One of the most interested groups of spectators is John Bull and his Colonial clubs, who, during the intermissions, sing for the amusement of other spectators the famous song We don't want to fight But, by jingo, if we do. We've got the men, we've got the ships, we've got the money, too This evidently is sung to help keep up the courage of the Bull aggregation who are now facing a condition not entirely unexpected, but which arose before they were quite prepared for it and is therefore annoying. The Turks failed, refused or objected for some reason or other to discover to the British and the other allies their intentions respecting Bmyrna. Thrace and Constantinople, and the result of the Turks' failure, refusal or objection to making public their plans has set all Europe or that part of it at least which has any interest in the Eastern question thinking and guessing. England has a distinctly bad case of St. Vitus' dance and France and Italy are not feeling so well. The Turks seem to be enjoying splendid health and to be physically fit for any emergency that may arise between now and Christmas. To a man up a sycamore tree it looks as though Constantinople will again come into possession of the Turks, in which event the deponent refuses to make further observation, other than to say that the world is changing and the big likes are discovering it. The white nations of Europe seem to have a mortal dread of the Turks, who are, it is said, a Negroid people. Certainly they are not white. White Europe and White America have no love for the Turks and this perhaps may be due to the fact that there is a little Ham in them, as well as to the fear that they may some day become a greater power internationally than white Europe and white America will care to reckon with in the future. There is another question, viz.: Since the white races of Europe and America refuse to regard these people as Europeans and since they are a colored race, the European attitude toward them obviously is to prevent them from advancing in the scale of civilization in the fear of the effect which their progress as a people will have on colored races under the domination of the European races in various colonies throughout the world. The international policy of the white races is to keep all darker races in subjection in so far as it is possible. The Turks are showing by their present activities in the East that they do not intend to submit to Anglo-Saxon domination. This feeling is spreading among other darker races and we are now approaching the inevitable consequences of white repression of darker peoples in the past. Japan was the first of the darker races to register a protest against the arrogant assumption of the Western nations that the Almighty had set them to regulate the affairs of the darker and some of the weaker races. Turkey follows in the wake of Japan and gives evidence of her ability to MAGAZINE make the deed square with the word by taking over Bymera, one of the important strongholds of the Greeks, and threatening to occupy Constantinople. The end is not yet. Europe is alarmed, and well she may be, because of the significance of the present activity of Turkey and the ultimate consequences to white Europe, now on its last legs should the Turks again come into possession of Constantinople. There are dark days ahead for the Europeans the darker races are calling their bluff Harvard College and Columbia College have sent out questionnaires to prospective students, which, among other things, require that the race of the applicant for admission shall be stated and that all other questions therouon shall be answered fully. To a man up any kind of tree the purpose of this movement is obvious. The Jews and Negroes are almost certain to fare badly as a result of this subtle scheme to eliminate them. It is only a question of time when the scheme will be introduced and in operation in the universities and colleges now most frequented by Jews and Negroes. Harvard and Columbia are belling the cat. Walt—— The Jews, who control more actual cash than we Negroes, can meet this newer form of race discrimination by establishing great colleges and universities, just as they established at Saratoga some years ago hotels of their own by putting Judge Hilton out of the hotel business and becoming the owners of the very hotel in which they were refused accommodation because they were Jews. I very much doubt whether the Negroes would undertake to retaliate in this way in the matter of building a great college. Rather, I think, we would be inclined to fight for what we regard as our rights to enter these schools as students. As no wealthy Negroes, so far as I know, have contributed to the unkeep of Harvard or Columbia or Yale or Princeton (which latter does not admit Negro students except in its theological department), the right of Negroes to admission as students does not appear to be well founded. Some time ago it is said that a meeting of white and colored persons was held in this city to organize an association for the benefit of colored people and that one of the colored invited guests raised some objection to the method of procedure. The white chairman was somewhat nettled by the criticism and objections raised and said in substance: "The white members of this committee are supplying the money to carry on this work and they propose to carry it on in the manner in which they have planned. Any colored persons who do not find themselves in agreement with these plans may withdraw from the meeting." This is the attitude of white men whose influence influences in school or church or other organizations. What is the Negro going to do about it? What can he do? Turkey For some hundreds of years the Europeans in and out of Europe have been giving Turkey a bad name, calling her "The Sick Man of the East" and "The Terrible Turk" and attribut- THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 30, 1922 ing to her nationals the attributes and characteristics of a band of merciless savages and barbarians, delighting in cutting the throats of Christians and drinking their blood. Rear Admiral Chester M. Colby, U. S. N., retired, in an article in "Current History" for September, under the title, "Turkey Reinterpreted," paints an entirely different picture of the "unspoakeable Turk." He says "There are no prejudices against Christians in Turkey, let alone killings of Christians. Massacres of the past were enormously exaggerated by prejudiced writers and speakers. "The harem has vanished out of Turkey and there are fewer men with plural wives than are married with mistresses in the United States." --- "There is more honesty to the square inch in Turkey than there is to the square yard in most other countries of the world. The Turk is an absolutely faithful husband. This is an interesting point. In the so-called advanced countries, we frequently learn of cases where men who are allowed one wife each by law and by religion have in fact several upon the side. If the divorce news in the daily press is to be relied upon, a large proportion of the men in the United States and England who can afford it have additional companions. In Turkey the reverse is true. All men by religion and by law are allowed our wives. Almost none, in fact, have more than one. One situation is the immorality of morality, the other is the morality of immorality. Men of good position in Turkey would hide their heads in shame and retire from fellowship with their kind if in their hearts they knew such things were true of them as continually are printed with regard to domestic scandals in the American and British press, in the French press and Italian press, about men of standing and position in those enlightened countries. "The Turk, contrary to the general impression, is a tolerant man, not only willing but extremely anxious that others should do as they please in religion as in other things. Naturally, however, he does not wish to have his own habits of religion or of daily life interfered with by outsiders. My religion differs from the Turk's, but I respect his great fidelity to his and, no matter what may be declared to the contrary, he respects my own fidelity to mine and of others to the faith they may espouse." It requires some personal courage for a white American to say words like these about a race of people who have been misrepresented by Europeans for some hundreds of years because they are a colored race and largely of the Mohammedan faith, upon whom the attempts of so-called Christian missionaries to proselyte them have had about as much effect as water on a duck's back. There are worse people than the Turks in the world, and a great many of them have their habitat in the United States and in the British South and West African Colonies, and they are not black nor colored either. It does not require over-much guessing to understand why the Turk is not popular in Europe or America. The same tactics employed by Europeans to blacken the character of the Haitians, and Liberians have been successfully employed by them to accomplish the same ends in regard to the Turks. But I am of the opinion that in so far as Turkey is concerned, the truth is about to get a hearing through the clever manipulation of the trusty sword of Kemal Pasha, upon whose word all Europe and the world now hangs. Is It Jealousy? Not to be outdone by an "able contemporary," who was recently honored by a gift (7) of a human hand, evidently sent by an accommodating undertaker and admirer of "his'n" in Louisiana, the Hon. Frederick Moore, ex-Master to Liberia, editor of "Age Knight of the Order of African Redemption Reformer," literary critic and booze hunter, has succeeded in getting into the limelight somewhat through his pernicious activity in "pinting" out bootleggers, and is the recipient of a threatening letter from the Chief High Mucka Mucker of the above group. It now begins to look as though all the able editors in this bailiwick are marked men, and that they are jealous of the notoriety achieved by the clever coup of the recipient of the famous white hand. We saw Howell the underground expert, browsing around the Age office recently. He was probably looking to see if there was a crepe on the door. The way the Harlem editors are being threatened will necessitate the employment of bodyguards to protect them from the wrath of white handers and the "Bootleggers Legion." MISS ONTARIO In sweet Ontario's northern climes, Far from my eastern home, I yet could bear the big bells chime, This I want there to roam. Her beauty spots, the balmy wind, Her buildings so superb, Her parks so pleasant, neatly trimmed I dared not say a word. Charmed by sudden beauty rare, Sat 'neath her leafy boughs.

THEODORE Toronto, Ontario, Can. "LIBERIA, THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES" A Book Review by William H. Ferris "Liberia, the Land of Opportunities," is a twenty one-page booklet published by the Liberian Exploration Company, with main office at 240 Broadway, New York City, N. Y. U. H. A. Mr. James R Austin, a mining engineer, who has had practical experience as an exploring and developing engineer in South Africa, West Africa, Colorado and Alnaka, who has taken advanced courses in mining in universities in Colorado and Washington, and who, possibly, has specialized in mining engineering to a greater degree than any other man of Negro blood, is the author of the booklet The booklet contains a handsome cover. In the center stands a lady holding in the extended right hand the Stars and Stripes, and in the left hand a sheath and the Lone Star of Liberia. In front of her two men of sable hue are sitting down on a rocky promontory, representing industry. At her side two women are sitting, one holding a sheaf of wheat, the other holding a stick. A locomotive is steaming in at the right of the promontory and a steamship at the left. The picture is emblematic of the future of Liberia. But what of the booklet? Assistant Consul General Vernon Williams says that the booklet is the most succinct the most compact volume on Liberia pregnant with useful information, that he has yet seen. And this sums up my own impression. I have seen many books upon Liberia, but not one packed with so much scientific information. First comes the introduction, paying a tribute to President Charles D. B King of Liberia. Then in seven pages in language that is terse and tronchant, Mr. Austin gives a brief description of the country and tells of the geography, the geology, the soil, the rivers, the counties, the population, the education, the administration and the finances of the black republic. Then in eight pages extracts are published from hearings before the Committee on Ways and Means in the House of Representatives. These extracts cover the public debt of Liberia, the proposed expenditure of the $5,000,000 loan, the Liberian debt existing December 31, 1910, and the customs tariff. Then two pages are devoted to the consular corps and the conclusion. The reader who desires a volume on Liberia that can be read in two hours and can be studied at leisure will find much in Mr. Austin's "Liberia, the Land of Opportunities," to be thankful Other Periodicals The Negro Daily Times, the Tatullier, a weekly illustrated magazine, edited by Mr. Floyd Snelson, Jr., and Kelly's Monthly, a little pocket magazine, edited by William Kelly, are three recent periodicals that are attracting attention in Greater New York.

To Stars and Stripes they had been true And to the bugle's call. Perchance the heart that wildest beat In Houston's mad affray Most fervent throbbed for liberty When proud they marched away But love for kinsmen hath a power That flags cannot enslave.

On its firmament a star shining bright —Such noble nymph is the fine art of Time— Weekly Sermon Weekly Sermon BY G. EMONEI CARTER Subject "Ignorance Deprecated." The Apostle Paul, in writing to the various churches he founded or helped to establish, asseverates, "I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant." St Paul deprecates ignorance in Christian people. Herein he breathes the spirit of the Christian religion. It is the aworn foe of ignorance. Ignorance is not the mother of devotion: it is the mother of indevotion or of groveling superstition. The whole Bible militates against ignorance. It over deprecates it. It deplores ignorance of spiritual truth. It hotly rebukes it. The Apostle laments those who are ignorant of God's righteousness, those who "ignorantly worship" and those who are "willingly ignorant," nor does the New Testament forget to assure us that, though, like the earliest Apostles, we are deemed "ignorant men," yet we may be "wise" unto "salvation." Paul dreads "ignorance of Christian truth" (Rom. xi, 25) "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery." Mystery is a wonderful word as Paul uses it. It occurs frequently in his theological and doctrinal epistles. The word has almost reversed its old meaning. Now it means something concealed. Then it meant something revealed. Prof Biet admirably describes it as "something which would be unknown had not God revealed it." In classical Greek "mystery" signified a religious rite which none but the initiated know. So the idea of secrecy associated itself with the word. A Christian "mystery" is a revealed truth. All may be initiated into that "secret." The Apetele applies himself especially to the particular 'mystery'—the deduction of the Jews and their ultimate salvation. One is inclined to think that a truth which one can afford to know little of. But not at a very strange, pathetic yet inspiring mystery. The Jews are still Gods chosen people. God's gifts and collages are without repentance. What is the explanation of their situation, seeing the Jews are scattered among the nations now? Paul tells us not to be ignorant of it. It is a matter of revelation. It is a mystery in the modern sense—very mysterious. But, thank God, it is a mystery in the scriptural sense, too. God has revealed the explanation. A highling in part hath befallen Israel but it is not to be forever. Until the fulness of the Gentiles he come in. When that will be we cannot say. Put evidently it is the business of Christians to arrive carefully to bring in that fulness. All missionary effort, home and abroad, is assuredly hastening the salvation of God's ancient people. Neglect the salvation of Gentiles and you are postponing the salvation of the Jews. God speed the day when the fulness of the Gentiles shall come in. Why do we cut out for short sermons? It is because we are ignorant of their content and are not willing to have them expanded even by a prepared a good teacher. We need an educated minister. Certainly ignorance of Christian truth was never more to be depressed. God, sin, rejection, closet. Of these tremendous things God forbids we should be ignorant. In I Cor. xii I Paul depreciates ignorance of sacred history. The Apulei recounts the experiences of our fathers in the wilderness and depreciates the ignorance of any Christian of these wonderful undertakings. We live much by being ignorant of our histories. To see Christ in ancient life is to be assured of Him in modern life for He is evermore the same. "Let each of us read history of all times and all peoples. Let us see the hand of God in the affairs of men Read history, both sacred and profane. Acquire yourself with the history of your church. Our faith and hope and devotion will ever and anon flag if we are ignorant how that our fathers were." III in I Cor. XII 1 St. Paul says, "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant." He depreciates ignorance of spiritual gifts. A spiritual gift is a gift bestowed by the Holy Spirit. These are qualifications ordinary and extraordinary of a Christian worker. How can we best serve the age in which we live? By securing spiritual gifts. The secret of much of the abortive work of the churches is in the fact that no many workers are ignorant of "spiritual gifts." We possess infinite resources, did we but know it. In verses 8-10 we have the nine spiritual gifts enumerated. Time and space won't permit us to amplify them. However, we shall name them. The word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, the gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning spirits, divers kinds of tongues and interpretation of tongues. IV. The ignorance of Christian activities. We should depreciate the ignorance of hindrances which beset the activities of Christian people. If we are ignorant we shall fall of sympathy. Many a time and oft we are lacking in sympathy because we lack knowledge of our brethren's straits. Paul reveals the purpose of his activities as well as their hindrances: "That I might have Sermon ARTER some fruit in you also even as the rest of the Gentiles." The "fruit desired was (a) the conversion of unbeliever, (b) edification of the sane. This was the only fruit to be desi by Paul in his Christian service, a it should be emulated by us. In very 9-10 Paul tells how abundant praye fulness atmosphere all his activi V. In II Cor. 1.8 St. Paul deprecates ignorance of troubles of Christians. It is a pathetic picture. It was a very great trouble. "We are welled down exceedingly beyond our power" What sorrow some Christians groan under! Paul had been delivered from trouble. And so his trust had wrought effectually for him. I would intreat you, my friends, not to be ignorant of the pains of your brethren. Be not wrapped up in your own interests. Many a needy, sorrowing soul cries to you for help. VI. In I Thess. IV:18 Paul says "But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep." He deprecates ignorance concerning departed saints. The Thessalonians had lost many of their Christian relatives and friends. They are looking for the Lord's speedy return and they feared lest their loved ones departed should lose by their having departed before the second advent Paul shows the real stage of the case. He displays the unfortunate and grief provoking ignorance. They must sorrow for their sleeping ones. It is natural and right. We have no justification for callousness in presence of bereavement. There are those who part with friends as easily as an eagle drops a feather from its mighty wings in its flight. Such are un-Christian in being unnatural. But if we realize the state of the dear ones gone we shall sorrow not, even which have no hope Christian mourners mourn in hope and their hope flings rainbows lights across the rain of tears. Their hope springs from their knowledge. No knowledge, no hope! If we are not ignorant we shall sorrow not, even as the rest. Oh how woeful to be ignorant! God will bring with him the dear departed (verse 14) "We that realize that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep (verse 15). Then follows a marvelous and kindling prophecy of the second coming (veres 16 and 17). And in the air we with our sleeping ones shall meet the Lord, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. To be ignorant of those last things is to involve ourselves in sorrow; help us to depreciate the ignorance of these six themes. Oh, spirit that inhabits this physical body; Why art thou bowed down in grief?

Eran ‘ THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WILFULLY DISTORTS FACTS AND SUPPRESSES TRUTH ABOUT THE U.N.I.A Runs Cartoons and Articles Based on Falsehoods, in Futile Attempt to Discredit the Organization 8 By J. JACKSON TILFORD The simiter and reactionary forces editing the Chicago Defender are trying to discredit the Universal Negro improvement Association, completing the masses of Negroes throughout the world, by publishing articles and running cartoons with the intent of prejudicing the minds of the people against an organization of Negroes that are employing hundreds of their race creating and developing Negro enterprises, and organizing thousands of Negroes throughout the world, for their political, social, commercial, industrial and intellectual advancement. It becomes necessary and fair to the reading public to refute, through the Negro World, such insidious propaganda and a slanderous assertions relating to the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the Chicago Defender in order that an unsuspecting public may not be hoodwinked and misguided by a town-tattler and slanderous sheet, defiling the liberty of the freedom of the press to try and discourage and offset an aspiring people in their efforts for security, progress and advancement, to satisfy their ultra selfishness and unpatriotic individualism. The Chicago Defender Does Not Defend, But Tries to destroy This Negro weekly that has wished itself on the masses as a defender of the Negro, has betrayed the trust that Negroes have bestowed upon the publication for years, and have come out openly through its columns opposing the greatest mass movement for Negro independence, commercial advancement, industrial welfare and self-reliance that the race has ever known, they have used the influence that was bestowed upon them by the loyalty and support of the mass of Negroes who they now try to destroy and ruin. The Bugaboo of the Chicago Defender There are three things just now that ring terror in the heart of the Chicago Defender. This publication, like all other commercial newspapers, gets its financial support from the advertising space that they are able to sell; you will notice in the Defender much advertising copy of beauty products, Zura Kink Out, Silky Hair Overnight, Hair Grower, Hair Straighteners, Skin Whitener, and Stone White, and all these various products advertised for Negroes to buy, to try and change themselves from black to white, from kinky hair to straight hair, and try and cheat nature and lose their racial identity. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has spent thousands of dollars through their mass meetings throughout the world teaching Negroes to keep their racial identity, teaching Negroes that their swarthy complexions and kinky hair is just as sublime as the white man's complexion and straight hair. The Defender realizes that this policy of the organization teaching Negroes to be Negroes will rob their advertising clients of buyers for their products, and through the process of eliminating white psychology from the Negro's head, as advocated by the organization, will decrease the sales of these advertised products and therefore cause them to lose many large contracts, when Negroes develop that racial pride that makes them proud of themselves and satisfied with nature's work, the sale of skin whiteners and allied products will cease, and this, to the Defender, is Terror Number One. THE NEGRO WORLD AND NEGRO DAILY TIMES ARE TERROR NUMBER TWO AND THREE. The Chicago Defender realizes that with the constant and steady growth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the great additional membership that is piling up day after day it will be on'y a matter of a very short time when the Negro World will be the widest circulated Negro paper in the world; the Negro World, edited in two languages and brimful of constructive thought in every issue, and representing the manhood and intelligence of the race, is destined to become the best advertising medium of any Negro paper now in existence, and it is the fear of meeting this competition that' worries the Chicago Defender, and this is Terror Number Two The Negro Daily Times, carrying international news and getting international distribution and reaching all the large and important cities of the United States, will be difficult competition for the Chicago Defender, because when the Defender comes out, as a weekly, much of the news that the Defender will bring to the public will be state and old and will be mighty hard to sell, because the daily appearance of the Negro Times will be giving the people news every day that the Defender will be trying to mobilize them. MRS. KATIE FENNER OF 1385 OSCEOLA ST., DENVER, COL. The U N I A was conceived in American slavery and born amid the devastating forces of the World War II guardian at birth failed to recognize the child of freedom for which he prayed. The U N I A is the unexpected product of America's participation in the great war. The world became extremely bitter at the Germans for many cruelties reported as committed by their invading armies, the nations loudest in their condemnation of German violations of the rules of war' had no compunction, no shame for their centuries of wilful and studied cruelties. When the call came for men to rally about Old Glory, the call included all American males of certain ages. Seventy-five per cent of Negroes called knew why they were called—they had every reason to expect America to abandon her practices of cruelty to the defenseless on entering the great war. Experience, however, has taught the Negro to expect nothing of real value to accrue to the race through America's participation in the great war for self-determination, justice or humanity. The U N I A's program gives America a chance to apply Christianity to the Negro race for the first time. Garveyvian inspires the Negro to many effort to reach heretofore unbidden heights of progressive achievement. The South in the Negro's implacable foe" it clings to the Negro like a leech, drawing his heart's blood in ghoulish glee. The South is determined to perpetuate slave conditions for the Negro of the South, and has pledged its "misguided manhood" to a national and international propaganda of foul and nauseous falsehoods. By condoning outrages upon the Negro, the nation is nearing an upheaval of grave consequences. Let us look for the real cause for the cruel treatment of the Negro by persons connected by blood to the Negro; Negro soldiers turned apparent victory into defeat for the slaveholders. Being unable to defeat the Union army, they concentrated their infamous batteries upon the Negro—children of their own loins—such fendish hellenness has proven the plurial descent of these jackals of America. Concubinage had to be preserved—unpaid or poorly paid labor had to be held in semi-slavery. The liberated slaves must be kept ignorant and cowed. The honor of the white women of the South had to be protected from Negro invasion — the Anglo-Saxon blood must be kept pure. Just how a white woman could be honored by having her cook mother children by her husband is one of those peculiar mental conditions which demand sincere pity for the hundreds of thousands of Southern white women forced to accept the position of mistress of the harem. The South is as much proslavery today as it was in 1860. Separate schools, churches, cemeteries, etc., are a necessity in the South today; the major portion of the children are of the same color, wear the same cut of clothes, and further, their mothers may possibly meet! Jim Crow accommodation in travel is for the same purpose—to keep mistress and wife apart. The octo cops, mutuates, quadroons and generally mixed bloods are the most beautiful women and most handsome men in America. The beautiful black women of America seem to be the main target for Southernners. When it comes to reciprocity he reaches his blood-stained hand into his bosom and sacredly fondies a flag long since thought buried; then, with sat teeth, he hides his guilty face beneath his hood and steals forth to show his contempt for law, justice and common decency. Another group of voters are giving this "race purity" propaganda serious attention; they are becoming inquisitive—they are quite anxious to know the "magic power" which draws white men in "over the fance." They are indicating a desire to explore the regions where their males and such peaceful bliss. This fact alone is the cause for the thirty per centers hiding their faces when they desire to meet a man. Garveyism accepts the one drop of Negro blood in your veins as the blood of kings. The slavedrivers are ashamed of their guilty conduct, and to cover their lechous tracks they cause to be passed laws of suspicion directed to the women for whom they build funeral pyres. Request for Woman Garvagian teaches respect for all women by teaching Negroes to be gentlemen at all times—this of course, is in contravention of "hooded chivalry." All American Negroes will not go to Africa, but all American Negroes worthy of freedom will leave the South for parts where freedom may be had. Then, when the season of uafruitfulness comes, these human jackals may again reach for the halyard of Old Glory with reasonable intentions, and the spirit of Crispus Attucks will applaud as a writing on the wall! The U.S. A's program of Negro ad THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1922 Dr A. H. Maloney, former Assistant Chaplain General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has recently been appointed professor of psychology at Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio. Readers of The Negro World doubtless remember Dr Maloney's scholarly articles on science and philosophy and kindred subjects which have appeared in these pages. vancement will be of inestimable value to the United States of America. Garveyism will find other places outside of the South to grow cotton—think what this means The U N L A. will proceed along lines of industry and fairness, totally ignoring the Christian attitude as expressed toward him in America. To be free of Amathias's cotton monopoly, Europe would be glad to share her claims in Africa with the cotton exports from the Southern States. The U N L A. intends to place the Negro in the most favorable light by giving him favorable environment for development. The social equality fanatics will never witness a Negro coiling gold from his own offspring or blood, nor the Negro cannot be held responsible for marrying your daughters, nieces, cousins or aunts if he should find them in the cabina. Safety demands that you keep your blood and offspring in the mansions where honor demands, if this be too much, pray keep still—the world is weary of your hypocrisy The next attempt to make slavery or slave conditions permanent in America may find similar forces arrayed against them as in 1864. The real Americans must watch the ever-increasing, treasonable organizations finding shelter beneath Old Glory. The Jim Crow outlaws are secretly planning a coup of vindictive violence to regain control of the nation. Hoping to stem the tide of female independence as expressed by their desire to find the source of 6,000,000 mixed bloods in the South. One band of marauders will cause the formation of a protecting band. Ethiopia, stretch forth your hands! I speak in the name of 24,000,000 Soudanese. Sincerely LUCTIUS C LENAN-LEHMAN. P O Box 24251, San Quentin, Calif. U. N. I. A. in DOMINICA. B. W. I. DOMINICA B. W. I. Sept 4, 1922. Much interest was taken in the U N I. A. by the officers and members of Roseau Division No. 50 during the month of August and everyone was anxious to learn of the work done at the Third International U N L A Convention. At 5 a.m. August 1, divine service was held to implore the blessing of God on the convention. This date is known as Flag Day, being the second anniversary since the Red, Black and Green flag is flying regularly on the flagstaff of the local Liberty Hall. The events of most importance during the month were the procession and meeting at Sonfiore, the meeting held on the 27th and the concert and dance on the 31st in Roseau. On the 7th a Liberty Festival was celebrated at Sonfriere. At 11 a.m. a procession was organized by the U N I A., followed by a meeting Mr. J Ralph Casimir who gave some interesting and instructive information about the U N I A was the only speaker Messa W J D and R A Seraphin of Sonfriere were very energetic. The meeting of the 21th was to celebrate the raising of our new flag which was received a few days previously from the Parent Body. The meeting began at 8.30 p.m. as usual. The program was as follows (1) Opening ode (2) Prayer (3) Reading of Hon Marcus Garvey's address from The Negro World of August 12 by the President. (4) Presentation of new flag by Mr. and Mrs C Scotland during collection and the singing of "These Come to Be United" (5) Raising of new flag on flagstaff by Treasurer, Mr Wm. Dontfraud, and singing of Ethiopian National Anthem (6) Selection by gramophone (7) Reading and comments, re first week's report of convention, by the President. (8) Selection by gramophone. (9) Remarks in patols by Mr Castimir Morancie re convention. (10) Ethiopian National Anthem. The meeting was a great success. The Treasurer supplied drinks free of charge to the attendants. The gramophone was kindly lent by Mr. Samuel Wyke. The concert of the Stiat began at 9 p.m. The most interesting pieces were the taboui, in which Mr. Casimir Moranol represented the Potentate and Mr. J. R. Ralph Casimir represented the Hon. Marcus Garvey "God Bless the Potentate" was sung and God Bless the President' was recited and the visit of an African chief to the Hon. Marcus Garvey was portrayed Mr. Samuel Wyke represented the African Chief, Mr Solomon Peter represented the Hon Marcus Garvey, and Mr. J. R. Ralph Casimir was the interpreter. The "African Chief's Visit" caused a great deal of laughter and excitement. Dancing began at 10 10 p.m., August 31, and ended at 1 15 a.m., September 1. Everyone had a most happy time. The concert and dance were held in answer to a call given by the Parent Body asking all divisions to aid financially. J. R. RALPH CASIMIR. President U. N. L. A. Div. No. 85. THE U. N. I. A. IN DALLAS, TEX. DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 17, 1922. Mr. M. E. J. Skinner, chairman of the Honorable Advisory Board, Division No. 191, Dallas, Texas, delivered a speech in New Zion Free Will Baptist Church, 1848 Girley street, of which Rev. Mr. Lawson is pastor, to a very large audience. The Hon. Mr. Skinner spoke on the subject of "The Foundation of Liberty for the Negro Peoples of the World." A TECHNICAL SCHOOL IS A NECESSITY IN THE U. N. L. A The Negro is lamentably lacking in technical knowledge or education. The U N L A. is the biggest organization in the world fostered by Negroes and its intention is for Negro uplift. The most important institution at this time for a struggling race of ours is a technical and scientific school. As a race or a group of people, entering the commercial world, it is urgent that we possess the above knowledge, and as we are on the edge of commercial enterprises we need protection. We must not only make the things that offer our protection, but must be also able to manufacture on a large scale to enter the commercial world and to compete successfully. As we are striking for the resuscitation of our motherland, Africa, it behooves us to be equipped with a host of skilled men in all branches of science. We should turn out in five years hundreds of navigators, mathematicians, engineers, astronomers, meteorologists, electricians aviators, plumbers, blacksmiths, agriculturalists, biologists, physicists, mathematicians, chemists, doctors and geologists. These are very necessary for us at this time. Why? Because these were the very things herefore neglected and they are the only knowledge that will carry us anywhere. We, as a race seem to place the wrong estimation on the things that will help us and one estimate the things that will retard our progress. When our Negro students go through college although they learn the elements of all the above-mentioned sciences, it seems that they will insist upon ignoring these valuable branches and choose the ministry oratory law and a aitemanship as new additions to their curriculum I do believe that these things are necessary, but on the other hand we have too many students taking up these things in proportion to the other branches of knowledge to be known I am sick of hearing every Negro of any fame in this Western World as he opens his mouth in any lecture, talk of Christ and God until one becomes sick of the constant whining I believe God sometimes becomes angry with people who are always calling on If m without making any effort on their own part. This reduces themselves to inferior beats they keep the Negro thought from practical things and keep it practiced always on some things which as far as we know are good as theories yet the constant harping on them shows weakness a lack of ability to do things and superstition We have not left the child age. We are like Europe in the dark ages when religion was in power on the continent, when all kinds of barbarous atrocities were practiced on those who dare think freely. It was not until invasion of the Negroes and Arabs that the religious chains were broken. Then the torch of intelligence enters, then the introduction of schools of technology and science then Europe was able to forge ahead from such schools. Columbus was able to discover America. The false theory of Ptolemy about the world was changed. Chemistry came to Europe, and that period in Europe was called the Renaissance. What our ancestors have done all along the century in line of progress we can today duplicate for we are the same people Europe has absorbed much of our talent through miscegenation. All of latinized Europe has benefited from African talent. Friends and members of this great Nubian and Ethiopian family, it is up to us to push this technical school through. This school should be a preparatory one for entering the colleges or universities, like Cooper's Union. Each student should be charged a small sum monthly for defraying of expenses. The faculty should be much better than the public schools. It should be so formed that any of our ambitious men who desire instructions in above schools, if their occupations should have shifting time and if their work happens to require one to shift from day to night or vice versa and cannot be accommodated in the city schools, they can be accommodated in our preparatory schools. Skilled knowledge is not encouraged in colored students, and for that no one cares. It is the only knowledge dangerous to the dominant race. Hence they take good care to encourage Negroes in the ministry and other simpler things that have no power. Hence, they will be able to keep those of African descent in submission more easily. One will be surprised what we can do with such a technical school in three or four years. A small lail added to such a school will help immensely in giving shop practice after the theoretical instructions. The knowledge that will best serve Africa and the Negro race is the manipulations of metals, and ability to make metals in any form that we desire. A foundry is also a necessary asset to use. Not until we are able to turn out such men will Africa be free. NEW DIVISION FORMED IN LOURIANA To the Editor of the Negro World.— I desire to let the readers of the Negro World know what I have done during the 31 days of the Third Annual International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. I have clubbed up 188 persons at Livonia, La. parish of Pointe Quepee, of whom many are ready to set up a Division in that vicinity—only waiting for the State Commissioner. I do wish that every Negro had the same spirit that I have towards the uplifting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Yours for advancement, AUGUST HANDY. Marinotruin, La. KINGSTON, JAMAICA, FIRED BY ELOQUENT SPEECHES IN FAVOR OF THE U. N. L. A. Following on repeated attacks upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association, both by the editor of the Cleaner and other local individuals, the officers of the association have been holding a series of mass meetings in defense of the organization. One cannot but admire the pluck and courage of Dr. Bruce A. Forbes, the executive secretary, ably supported by the Rev B. M. Jones. Night after night these two champions of the cause have hurled broadside after broadside at the critical, flooring them every time. Each time Dr. Bruce A. Fores goes forward to speak he is greeted with doffening cheers as he fearlessly and unreservedly puts the aims and objects clearly to the audience, which in all cases numbers several hundreds. At one special meeting Dr Forbes defended the organization ably when the local editor endeavored to prove that the Egyptians and Hottentots were not Negroes. He called to mind the fact that Africa was originally popped by black men, and, giving detail after detail dating back hundreds of years and delving into the ancient glories of Ethiopia, confounded any theory put up in opposition to the rightful ownership of Africa for the Africans. The Rev B M Jones dealing with the religious end of the organization holds his own against any attack, and is always greeted by deafening applause, as such a man is a great asset to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, both: his past and present services. Under the direction of the gentleman, one cannot but see and realize the awakening of the Negro and the cause for unity and co-operation for our self-preservation. With all the different setbacks these two Garvites are not leaving a stone unturned to hold the organization together and with the assistance of the Lady President Miss Eva Aldred, who stands side by side with them championing the cause of the women of the race, we hope that in the very near future the Kingston Division will take a fresh start. As I undersand these mass meetings are to be kept up constantly in the different sections of the community I will endeavor to send you reports from time to time.

FISHING DEPARTMENT EVERY DESCRIPTION What was termed the most magnificent, elaborate, systematic and noteworthy celebration ever witnessed in the annals of Cespedes was that staged by the local division of this town on Thursday, August 31, 1922. It being $ 30 a.m. a procession was formed at Liberty Hall, under the directorship of Mr C C Nouffville, acting chaplain for this division, assisted by Mr J Stephens. The band of music that was in attendance from Camaguey played the well known march, "Hurrah Hurrah for Victory. Many flags, both Cuban and those of the U N I A, were to be seen floating in the air; also a picturequee banner with the words inscribed, One God: One Alm: One Deathly! Impedes Division Chartered No. 73 Celebration of Third Annual International Convention of the U N I A God Bless Our Leader. Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey P G, P A Long May He Live. Also in Spanish "El Presidente del N I A deerea muchas felidades para la Republica Cubana, patria de los Heroes." The march led to the translation in order to meet representatives from Camaguey and Florida. At $ 30 a.m. a train arrived and the folks were met with every manifestation of welcome. Our procession now being enlarged, followed by a throng of faces both black and white we marched back to Liberty Hall. The chaplain began the meeting in the usual constitutional way with the singing of the opening ode after which he offered a prayer asking God to direct the efforts put forth by the U. N. I. A. to strengthen our leader to accomplish the work laid to his charge. The acting president, Mr. S. H. Oliver, then gave a welcome address to the audience in the name of the U. N. I. A. He pointed out that this was the last day of the third annual international convention of our parent body in New York, wherein some of the greatest problems for the future uplift of our race have been solved, delegates having been sent to the conference at Geneva to represent claims of the Nugro. This is a mark of progress in our race. Pointing to the flags, he said they remind us of the ancient glory of Ethiopia, and he hoped that the day will dawn when the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green shall be seen floating on the hiliops of Africa, by the help of God and the instrumentality of the U. N. I. A. (Cheera.) The band then played a piece from its selection. The next speaker was Mr R A Martin, from Florida. In his remarks he stated that the time is fast approaching when the Negro race will gain that equal amount of respect and the Ethiopian Authem be sung with as great loyalty as is there of other nations. All that we need is a race of unity. He showed that this our world's greatest movement the L A, is sent directly from God therefore we should be more patient. A kingdom cannot be built in one day for instance England took a period of over three centuries to build up herself, so we should encourage that force of determination with continual prayers to God and in duodum we shall inherit a free and redeemed Africa (Loud applause). Mr A Farruccita then gave a course of inspiring address. His war whole, an advice Reminding the audience that this was a celebration of our Third International Convention and that the remaining portion of our day's proceedings would be open to the eyes of the public, he said we should be very careful in putting forth our best behavior and discipline, so that our Division would be improved by our examples. Another concile address was delivered by Mr C. Hinds from Balvalor He said that at this time the Parent Body has made and is making plans for our future bettermort. Our able leader, the Rt Hon, Marcus Garvey, has taken up the responsibility of giving us, along with our help and determination, a free and redeemed Africa. Therefore we must assist this cause, for it is a just one, and by so doing we will soon reach the goal for which we are aiming. The band then played the Ethiopian Anthem while the audience stood at attention. Having thus ended our program in Liberty Hall, the procession started for the lawn in order to enjoy the athletic sports that had been prepared for the day. The band played a well-known march. On entering the main street of the town the music terminated in the playing of the Cuban National Anthem as an appreciation of their flag. From thence to the lawn. On the Lawn Before beginning the various sports of the Cay a reproduction of a speech of the Rt. Hon Mnous Garvey was given by a gramophone, which spoke as if the veteran himself was in our midst, after which Mr. L. Hyppolite gave an address in Spanish explaining the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. to the Cuban friends, and also the reason for our celebration. "A cricket match foiled between the U. N. I. A. C. C. and Florida. The result was a victory for Caspede. There was a maypole dance for the ladies and a merry-go-round. The time for breakfast having come we marched back to Liberty Hall where we enjoyed some of the most delicious meals prepared by the cooking party of this Division. A boxing contest followed, the U N. I A. champion of this Division, Kid James, fighting against his tutor, Jack Facey. The result was a draw. It was now 6.30 p. m. A recess was given in order that the audience be refreshed to enjoy the grand ball, which started at 8 p. m. and lasted until 4 a. m. next morning. Thanking Mr Editor kindly for this space, I remain. General Secretary Cespedes Division STANLEY H. OLIVER. President COLUMBUS DIVISION HAS STIRRED GREAT INTEREST IN WORK OF U. N. I. A The Columbus Division is making a big effort to raise funds with which to purchase a Liberty Hall. The place where the division holds its meetings at present is the Dunbar Hall. September 18 to 23 is known as "Universal Carnival Week of Joy." Every night the hall is kept open, and different business men and women purchase booths in the spacious hall and exhibit their goods to the public, and others do a very brisk trade in selling what they have. The division has one of these booths. It sells pop, ice cream, cakes and other things. Mrs. Nettle Perry, the general secretary of the ladies' division, has a booth in which she displays her nicely made children's dresses, elaborately worked bedspreads and several other hand-made garments, which reflect great credit on those who executed them. Mr. J. G. Burroughs, owner of the Mount Vernon Model Grocery, showed in his booth the different lines of goods which he carries. He had a nice demonstration of how cocoa can be cheaply made. The spectators were very much interested in the demonstration. Mr. Burroughs is the treasurer of the division and has worked very hard to make the division what it is today. Our wish is that his business, and those of the other members of the division, will get increased trade from the Negroes of the city. These men, who support the division in every possible way, should be patronized in every line of business that they carry. That is the only way we as a race will be able to build up ourselves industrially and economically. The booth of Mr. J. W Faucett was replete with his hair-growing goods. I make bold to say that the advertising that will be given these different lines of goods exhibited during the Columbus Division Universal Carnival Week of Joy will undoubtedly bring increased trade to the different holders of these booths. This carnival is being carried out under the chairmanship of W. O. Lucas, a member of the advisory board. Mr. Lucas has worked hard to put this carnival in shape and we hope that his efforts will result in a big financial balance to the good of the Liberty Hall fund. We must mention the good work that is being done by Mrs. Emma Williams, Mattie Broadway, Annie Ollis, Minnie Wall, Effie Perry, Sadie Brown, Ines Hamilton, Sadie Cancell Roxie Miller and many others, who take a deep interest in the getting of a place to call our own. Tomorrow His Highness the Potentate, the Hon. Gabriel Johnson, will visit the division, and a hearty welcome is extended to all. The news conveyed to us by the release and by the Negro World of the success of the delegation to the Geneva conference has filled Columbus with pride and joy, and great was the praise showered on Marcus Garvey for his wisdom and farsightedness in sending these men to represent us just at this time, when Europe is on the very verge of having another great war. Our men are just on the spot where they can gather first-hand information and transfer it to us. Mighty diplomat, great diplomat, and may huge success attend the first effort of the ambassadors of the Negro peoples of the world. All same men are convinced today that the dream of Marcus Garvey will come true; it will only be a matter of time. Time alone makes all things well, and given the necessary time the Universal Negro Improvement Association will demonstrate to the world that whatever other races and nations have done the Negro race will do. Let all Columbus join in saying: "Long live the U. N. I. Al Long live Marcus Garvey! Long live the Negro race" PATRONIZE THE EXCELSIOR MEAT MARKET 1516 Bergen St. BROOKLYN, N. Y.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General MORON CELEBRATES DECLARATION OF THE NEGROES' INDEPENDENCE MORON, Camagua Province, Cuba, September 21, 1922.—Despite the malentiment of this community as regards this racial movement known as the Universal Negro improvement Association, the Moron public witnessed with astonishment the celebration of the second anniversary of the declaration of the Negroes independence. On the day of the 81st the weather was 4 bit hot, but Providence showed those who put their trust in Him that Negroes are not (as they have been taught) cursed, and our preparation for: that day was not marred. On the recreation grounds Senior Jimmesen furnished a variety of selections, which everyone enjoyed immensely. The ladies of our division, under the supervision of Mrs. Louise Osborne, Acting Lady President, and directed by Miss B. Robinson, Second Lady President and chairlady of the preparation committee, displayed their prompt activity, which was very commendable. An apron party was staged on the night of the same date and was very well attended, but due to inadequate space for accommodation, was not a financial success. Nevertheless the day was well spent. The second anniversary of our division took place on the 24th of September, and quite an enjoyable time was had, as many representatives were present. It is also worthy of note that despite the embarrassment of conditions and the maligned sentiment of the community, our Sunday school which was promulgated by Mr. R. C. Russell. Acting President, and superintended by Mr. G. L. Claypole, is working in fine style, also our night school has a very good showing. If the people of this community were a little more considerate, not only the little ones would be benefited, but every individual of this domicile would be benefited, as there are numerous propositions pending, according to the aims and objects of this association, for the good and welfare of our community. P S. We regret to mention the passing away of Mrs. J. A. Thompson, wife of Mr. J. A. Thompson, a prominent business men of this community, on Sunday, September 10. Mrs. Thompson leaves her husband and two children and many relatives to mourn her loss. We tender our condolence to the bereaved ones. Any one knowing the whereabouts of Mr. Walter Richard Hoyte and Miss Estel Adora Hoyte can communicate with their brother, Joseph Nathaniel Hoyte, Cafe New York, Calle Callejas, Moron, Prov. Cam. Cuba. DIVISION 199 ELECTS OFFICERS NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 18, 1922 — At a recent meeting of the Nashville Division No. 199, September 13 the following persons were elected officers of the above division: Dr. T. B. New, president; G. McCaster, vice-president; Mrs. Laura Buchanan, general secretary; Willie Mullen, executive secretary; Rev. Dan. Porkin, secretary to the Trustee Board. Our present president, Dr. T. B. New, resigned, but the members re-elected him again as president of No. 199 Division. Also the ex-president of the Ladies' Division. Mrs. Laura Buchanan, was re-elected as general secretary. The few surviving members asked for a re-election of officers so that the division may, if possible, regain its first love. Since the re-election we are glad to say that the division is taking on a new life, and hope the meetings will be attended better than in the past. Some of the members are paying up their back dues, and now ones are coming in. We accepted four new members Sunday, September 17, at the first meeting since the election of officers, and we few are laboring together to build up a great division here. Long may we all live to see a free and redeemed Africa. First, we must be proud of our Hon Leader Marcus Garvey, the founder of this great movement, of which we are auxillaries. Second, we must congratulate ourselves for sticking together and marching toward towards our objective and redeemed Africa. The U. N. L. A. is part of the African army to be. With her stalwart sons, who have fought for other races and nations of the world, and who are now organizing themselves for the purpose of protecting our own interests the world over under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green, we must get such race disgraces out of the way and put heart, hands and cash together, and forces the program until the Red, Black and Green flag is hoisted on the hilltops of Africa. Yours as ever for the cause. DR. T. B. NEW, President, MRS. LAURA BUCHANAN, Gen.-Secr A CORRECTION Editor Negro World. Honorable Sir — I notice in the issue of the 16th inst., under "Correction," the letter addressed to you on the 12th of August, requesting that you make such corrections on a program which was sent in a couple of days previous, is published, but the program has never been published. The program in question treated upon the meritorious work of Messrs.

EDUARDO V. MORALES Appointed representative to Cuba. Haiti Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico. TRUTH At the present time the world seems to be lacking in truthfulness. Everything, apparently, points to the misrepresentation of truthfulness. Men, principles, organizations and governments believe success lies solely in camouflaging the real issues at stake. In political, social and industrial life the sterling quality of truth is sadly missing. There is more falsehood in the world today than at any other period in its history. That being the case we see an organization having a definite aim in view—the linking up of the scattered Negro peoples of the world and the establishment of government on the continent of Africa. It is of paramount importance to every intelligent Negro to join hands with an organization possessing the essentials of truthfulness—the Univ. sial Negro Improvement Association.

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT RAISING THE STATUS A VOICE OF THE NEGRO RACE FROM AFRICA There can be no doubt that under the guidance of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the Negro race can hope to establish itself on such a foundation as will command better recognition than that hitherto accorded by other sections of humanity, on account of its activities in raising the status of the race. Recently the association has created certain titles which have been conferred on prominent citizens in various Negro communities. This, we think, is an ambitious step and is bound to promote the welfare of the race and communities in which Negroes form a part. Hitherto men have contended over the inferiority and superiority of races and of their inability to command certain positions and distinctions even though they possessed the necessary qualities and aspirations. ```markdown ``` But today that doctrine will no longer appeal to civilized man who is beginning to make a closer study of his more advanced brethren. The fact that all men are created equal is now being greatly emphasized and propagated the world over, and the realization of this under proper guidance is bound to improve the state of affairs and establish a better and truer spirit among men. And the Universal Negro Improvement Association has demonstrated that any people can hope to achieve the height of their ambition if they would undergo the necessary training. It has proven that the race is able to achieve the possibilities to which humanity can aspire, and will exert all its powers to assist its people to overcome all obstacles which had been real barriers to their welfare and advancement but which had been accredited to the inability of the race. Marcus Garvey, the leading figure of the movement, despite what might be said to the contrary, has certainly compelled world-wide attention in his endeavor to raise the status of his race. His achievements cannot be considered by any means small, and even those who attempt to criticize his conduct of affairs are not slow to admit that he has aroused a consciousness among Negroes throughout the world unparalleled in history—he has aroused a consciousness that has caused the Negro to place a higher value on himself, irrespective of what may be thought by others, and, if only for this, he should be adored for having sown a good seed for the uplift and advancement of humanity, and is deserving of the greatest distinction his race can place upon him. And thus he will appeal greater recognition. In like manner should those who have been honored by the association with titles receive the recognition of the entire race, as it will not only benefit the individual alone but raise the status of the community and the face in general—The Bolise Independent, Spanish Honduras.

House flies doctors tell us are to be feared even more than mosquitoes as carriers of disease besides being a downright nuisance. If any man will tell us how to rid ourselves of these pests we will be doing a more service than one we predict for us a bright and prosperous future which may never come. The Negro World Interdicted Several complaints have reached us from leaders of the Negro World to the organ of the much hated tarot movement, that they have of late not been receiving their papers and inquiries have led to the knowledge that the paper is interdicted by the Nigerian government. While we have never shared Marcus taraxe a political view, we are firm believers in his industrial program, which, if carefully and efficiently handled, would bring the Negro hearer and sooner to his ambition than any amount of political can do. Thus however, has nothing to do with the question. The Negro World is a popular publication, having many local readers who derive much comfort in reading of the achievements and hopes and aspirations of their brothers across the pond," and a government is taking too much upon itself which degrades the people of their pleasure without any justifiable reason. The Negro World has been entering this country since three or four years ago and has been very widely read yet we can say that it has had not the slightest effect on the loyalty of the people for the British connection, and we challenge the government to say that it has any evidence to the contrary. We have heard it expressed that since reading such "vile stuff" as is dished out to them in The Negro World the local Negro has begun to show less respect for the white man, and that his is inclined to be rather "checky." Our resort is that if a European loses the respect of the native and gets "checked" by him it must be through want of proper behavior on his part which to his fault, and he deserves what he gets. To think, however, that it will foster loyalty if it excludes papers at The Negro World from Nigeria the government is on the wrong road. This reminds us of a queer bill which the latest english paper inform us was introduced in the Commons recently in order to provide for the proper political uphiring of the young sons, and probably daughters, of England. The short title of the bill is the Seditious Touches Bill, and it proposes to punish with fire and imprisonment anyone, teacher or parents presumably who impartia to children instruction calculated to make them disafflicted with the constitution of the land or the state of society Commenting on the subject, the "Manchester Guardian" said "Our authors, who include such refreshingly immutable conservatives as Sir John Butcher, Colonel Gretten and General Cookell, appear to be quite genuinely obsessed with a nightmare of the younger generation mapping up the Marxian milk and being worked up into a frenzy of enthusiasm for the nationalisation of the means of production, distribution and exchange." The plain fact, as any practical schoolmaster would tell these doctrinal area, la of course, that towards propaganda of this sort the child presents a gaily impartial attitude which his elders would do well to copy. He will sing the "Red Flag" cheerfully (or as cheerfully as that melancholy ditty can be sung), but that will not prevent him from joining an Empire Day procession round the next corner and joining with even more gusto in the Rule Britannia. If our government has lost its sense of humor, here is something to restore it.—The African Messenger," June 16, 1922. LIVE CURRENT ISSUES America Prosperous People generally are led to believe that the United States is in a vory shattered condition, so for as business is concerned, but this does not seem to be the case if the reports of the government officials are to be taken as facts. The figures just issued for the fiscal year ending June 30 show that our exports for the past year amounted to $7,711,181,000. The average for the pre-war years from 1911 to 1914 was only $270,000,000. Admitting that values are now 50 per cent. higher than they were at that time the show of business with foreign countries is good and proves that America is prosperous, and that the trouble with the country is with the people who seek to paint a glossy hide around everything pertaining to business in this country. It is important that we have upon our hands so many strikes and industrial disturbances, and were it not for these the United States would be doing business at high pressure. The war is over, the men who want to work can find it. People are out of employment be- THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1922 cause they have willed to remain idle while the business of the country needs their labor, and without which thousands, yes, millions, must suffer. Coal is needed everywhere to keep the fires burning that people may keep warm during the coming winter and to keep the mills running, and without which millions more must be forced to idleages. The railroads need cars and locomotives and men to operate them and keep them in repair, and without which it will be impossible to transport coal and the necessities of life. Battle the labor question and business will be bumming along more and the exports of manufactured goods will be larger by many millions than they have been during the past year. The up business and the markets of the world will fall into other hands and America can industrialize will suffer for a long time to come. Europe is poor but not withstanding that fact American goods are finding a good market there and it is for the interest of this country to import the goods and cater to the whims of our foreign buyers. We cannot afford to let others take from us a trade that is ours if we get down to work and manufacture what the markets of the world require. Harmonious cooperation of American labor will keep the home fires burning, the wheels of our home mills turning and American ships sailing to every port of the world withARGUS of American goods. Prosperity is knocking loudly at our gates. Why should we delay in opening the ports and give a hearty welcome to the opportunity that demands a routine. China Awakening China of today is a far different China from that of even a half century ago. The country is awakening from its long sleep and with republican ideas is accepting everything modern that is considered for the interest of the people or the country. This is true in every economic principle, industrial mercantile, religious, intellectual agricultural and governmental. China is no longer the mysterious. She is modernizing at a rapid rate, even more rapidly than ever any European country advanced, and within a few years may rival Japan in advancement China is housekeeping, so to speak. She is looking over her assets and discarding that which is no longer of value. Her scholars are looking into the future and prospecting for the benefit of their native land. For many years China has been sending her brightest young men to other countries to be educated. Many of them have taken diplomas at American colleges, others have graduated from the universities of other lands. She has sent young men here to investigate our industries and study our economics, and has sent other thousands of her brightest and best to every modern nation to learn and industrialize, and today she is manufacturing no small percentage of the cotton goods she requires. She is expanding her railroad systems and is also adopting American and European customs. She is studying, investigating, selecting and rejecting, comparing the old with the new, and in these comparisons is discovering the things that have checked her progress while many other nations, far less resourceful, have forged ahead. China, the old China, is passing away and upon its also a new China is being erected, a China that bids fair to astonish the world. China is rich in human energy. She is rich in minerals and metals. She has great, water powers and rivers that may be navigated for many miles into the interior of the country. She has railroads and is rapidly constructing more. She has a vast system of canals, and she has an industrious people that need only to be convinced that there is a better way to adopt and perhaps improve up to it. When China has absorbed the light of modern intelligence, and that is in no civilization than the greater part of the world knows, there is going to be a revival within the limits of that ancient empire that will make the world "sit up and take notice." When a nation of 400,000,000 people sets out to do a thing they have the power to do it provided they have the means to accomplish their object and China is accumulating the means faster than the world realizes. She is taking home the best that Europe and America afford and adopting her findings to her own political and economic problems, and the time will come when the nations of the world will come into contact with a powerful competitor for the commerce of the world. The time will come also when prolific China will need an opening for the disposal of her surplus human energy, and the nations weakened by war and pestilence may yet feel the pressure of the Orientalats at their gates or see them crowding across the borders, seeking new homes and new fields of labor. If Europe or America choose to weaken themselves by sacrificing their youth to the god of war, the new China may become a menace more serious than the uncivilized tribes of the North were to Greece or Rome. A Change The average human being needs and desires a change. He cannot function in all his powers unless there is a change of atmosphere now and then. Constant drilling upon one subject, constantly looking at the four corners of the same room, the same factory, the same store, the same office, day after day, will shorten life and weaken the productive power. To do business or to perform labor of any kind with efficiency it is necessary to have a change of scene. The tired worker longs for rest. He wants to get out into the open, to relax his features in one great and hearty laugh at something of an uncommon nature. He wants to meet the friends of his youth or he wants to roam once more the fields and pastures that present them, selves to him in day-dreams. He wants to sit in "the shade of the old apple tree." He wants to dig a cap of fishworms and hike to the brook where he loved to fish when a barefoot boy. He wants to see the old "swimmin' hole" and he would like to "peel off his clothes and realize once more the delights of a dip in the waters of that dear old place, sacred in the memory of many a gray-haired individual who is sitting today at a desk, measuring cloth behind a counter, counting money and checks in a bank, watching and mending threads in some textile mill, pegging or stitching shoes, working at some mechanical trade or in some one of the many professions. It matters not in what sphere of life the individual may be, what his duties are, what his compensation or what position he may occupy in society, he wants to turn back the pages of the book of time, and he would, if he could, erase many pages and begin again at the word Boy. What a delight there would be in the turning back. The dreamer dreams of the "good old days." Not the good old days of history, way back in the time of Julius Caesar, or Abraham and Isaac; neither is he interested in the escape of the Children of Israel when the Egyptians chased them into the Dead Sea and were engulfed. That is not the kind of ancient history that a man wants to study. He wants to get out into the open and renew as far as possible the days of youth when he and Bill and Ben, Tom and Jim played hookey, fished and swam in the ponds or streams, fought and played and enjoyed all that comes to a rugged and healthy boy. Vacations are a necessity. They probing life and give it to a cheer that makes it worth living. The man or woman who can get away for a few days outting now and then is more cheerful, more contented and better able to bear the burden of figures, measure the cut of cloth, weigh the groceries weave the cloth or preach a sermon after a vacation than when no vacation has been taken. People as a rule work too much and play too little. Boys must play to grow and develop. Men and women should play and then to keep themselves in proper spirit. Get out and get close to nature. Get out into the sunlight and the pure air. You need it your wife needs it, your mother needs it, your sister and your brother need it. It is the foundation of life. The doctor never refuses to take a case and after a cure, provided the patient has not gone too long without treatment, and that treatment a vacation. Do not try to burn the candle at both ends it will burn out fast enough, and life is too short to make slaves of ourselves. If life is worth living it is worth living well. Therefore, look after your health and your happiness. Take a vacation — The Tampa Bulletin, Tampa, Fla. UNHEARD CRIES About ten years ago the great papers were filled as they are now with the loud meaningless speeches of politicians saying nothing in many words to make friends without making enemies, and with silly stories of strange but nonimportant events. There were whispers then in Europe, whispers that circulated for man years, but the newspapers were making too much noise to hear the whispers. Had they listened, they might have heard as a few of us did, war plans and peace terms, the invasion of Belgium, the alliance of Italy with France and Britain, the collapse of Russia, the terms of the treaties. They did not listen, 1914 surprised them. The Treaty of Versailles surprised them. They are still being surred. There were only whispers ten years ago. Now there are mutterings, and sometimes crises. Still the papers do not hear. Some things they see—trouble in Russia, in India, in China, but they print meaningless speeches by poll tins, and many figures. Every day by figures they prove that something is impossible, just as a brilliant writer, Jean de Bloch, proved before the war, by figures, that the war was impossible. "Give the Public What It Wants." It wants pleasant news flattery. The whispers and the crises from angry people are not pleasant. Maybe they are not important. It is not important to know a storm is coming. It is only important to know when a storm has come. That is the reasoning of the Great Press. I do not pretend to be a prophet, but it takes no prophet to see that the wars now raging in the Far East and the Near East are not ended, and that all Europe may be at war again. Even the daily papers see those things. But the papers are still talking of nations and of markets and of greaties and debts, and those things, though certainly important, are things more of pastday than of tomorrow. Tomorrow's news is in the unheard mutterings and crises, and the mutterings and crises rise not only from Africa and Asia and Europe, but from the Western World. The white man's madness has caused these cries. We drown them with our news; we hear those from the East at times, and shake our heads over the wickedness of Europe; but while we pose and strut and shake our wise heads over Europe, we are spreading our madness over the Caribbean Sea. No so many years ago we forced our way into Japan, a strangely peaceable and happy country, and disturbed the Japanese with our soldiers and salesmen and missionaries till we drove them to arms; made them take up war and commerce. Now they are as greedy and aggressive as we are; they have driven the Russians and Germans from China and the South Pacific Next? And China, land of poets and philosophers, has been obliged to learn the science of wholesale murder; her people are fighting a civil war, driving out unpopular masters. Next? Must we for the sake of a dozen high-sounding lie, force all men to hate us in Asia, in Africa, in South America; force all races to fight us to the death? Our children will pay in blood, as this generation has paid. And it will make little difference whether the white man, here and abroad, holds his place by force or loses it by force; if he holds it by force, he will go on with his brutality and his high words if he loses by force, revengeful colored nations will make the earth their battleground, go on with the old sickening game, shouting false cries of their own. Colored men tell me that all this has nothing to do with them. That may be so; but they, who do not hear the cries from other lands, cry out themselves at white men's injustice—do they imagine their own cries are heeded? "This is an American Problem. America Will Settle It." Hmm. I am no preacher to tell the black men what they ought to do. But as a plain white man who knows something about his own people, I can tell these things, that there are millions of whites who feel that something is wrong with their pretenses, but who cannot hear themselves think because of the lord shouting of lies around them; that there are some whites who are trying to stop the restless madness of their race but find their voices drowned in the lying chorus of the white press, and get no encouragement from most colored men as an American who has been shocked abroad by the staring horror of Englishmen and Frenchmen at their first detailed knowledge of American lynching. I can say that I believe the white man, here and in Europe, will change his ways only when the brown, yellow, red and black papers of the world gather up the smoldered cities of India and Haiti and China and Peru and Africa and shout them till the white man's chorus is drowned, and he stops his hymn-singing, his comfortable chatter of legal and political argument, and shitters in a gale of shriek. Argument makes his tongue wag, and warms him with his own lies. But he is human, echo the screams of his outcame, and his tongue will stop, his heart will chill and he will feel the sticky blood on his fingers. Shame will strip him of this vanity—Charles Cain, A. N. P., in the Northwestern Bullock, St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minn. HIDDEN POWERS HIDDEN POWERS By JAMES OPPENHEIM The story is old. Someone told Emerson that Margaret Fuller had said "I accept the universe." Emerson remarked: "She'd better!" Yes, it looks that way. A man sitting on a Kansas doorstep and seeing a cyclone making his way doesn't get up and say, I reject you. He flees. But that is merely because we haven't got that far. Who can say positively that the time won't come when we can prevent cyclones? We once were just as helpless before pestilence, and called a plague a "alitation of God." We humbly accepted this "acourge." You know how Jehovah humbled Job: "Where were you." he asks, "when I laid the foundations of the earth and all the morning stars sang together for joy? Who are you, anyway, to set yourself up against me? Can you bind the sweet influence of the Pleiades? Can you catch Leviathan with a fish-book?" Well, we can say: "Lord, not yet. But we can try." You see how our attitude has changed since the days of Job. The marvelous discoveries of the nineteenth century have stiffened our backbone. We have a bumpy feeling that we can make enormous changes in the world about us and also in our own nature. In short we will only accept the universe as 'raw material' which we will proceed to convert into something better. It is only the animal who accepts the universe. What does the cow do when mosquito bite her? Swishers her tail. Not so with us. We mantle the stingant pools with oil or put in minos which eat the mosquito eggs We screen our houses. All very well. But there is another way in which we must accept life. Where there is no help for it, life, as it is, must be accepted if we are to know any genuine happiness and well-being. If a man or woman you love dies, it doesn't help that you keep on compiling and wishing for what is gone. What can you say except I give him up I go on by myself. If you have failed at something.

If you have any complaints send them in now and don't wait until it is too late. --- some task or enterprise, and perhaps covered yourself with shame, it doesn't help to go around with your head bowed and your soul clinging to what is past, thinking. "If I had done this, or not done that, everything would have different." It is over, it is done. You can only accept your failure and go on to something else. There are women who rebel all their lives because they were not born men. They spend a great deal of time in helpless revolt, thinking, "I hate being a woman." But suppose they turned about and said, "I am a woman and I will make something out of being a woman?" Is it not a fact that the most powerful women we know are those who are proud of being women? Once a young Negro of talent came to me. He was a poet, but his poetry was a weak imitation of some of the great English poets. I said to him. "Aren't you missing a great opportunity? There is a music in the Negro which is different from all other music. It is an African music. If you want to call it so. Instead of imitating English song, why don't you listen to the music in yourself and give us Negro poetry—something surely that everyone would love?" His answer was "I am an American and write in English. Why shouldn't r. poetry be like all English poetry?" Well, it was true that he was an American and wrote in English, and this was certainly different from an African savage writing in his own language. But what this young man really meant was that he preferred not to admit that there are differences in races. But there are differences in races and even in nationalities. English poetry isn't like French poetry Why? A difference in temperament. Hebrew song is unlike the song of Europe. Negro music is not white music Suppose this Negro had said to himself: "Thora is something as great in the Negro as in the white man. So I will accept that fact in order that I may express that greatness." If he had done this he would have found himself, he would have come down to his own roots and, instead of giving us a weak imitation of white poetry, he would have been the first of the Negro poets. He was destroying his own power by rejecting the truth. You see, if we accept the things that can't be changed, we win our freedom. So long as we don't accept, we are caught and enslaved. It is exactly like a dog tied by a rope to a stake. He keeps pulling against the rope; he refuses it, but finally gives in. Then his torment passes and he enjoys himself in the space permitted him. A fact that can't be changed is such a rope. Pulling against it only torments us, only keeps tosturing us. We can think of little else. We go round and round, grasshaving our teeth, weeping, moaning, because the dead are dead, because the past is the past, because we are what we are. But the moment we accept the facts the rope ceases to be a rope. There was a man of eighty who refused to admit that he had grown old. So he forced himself to the activities of younger men. He got to business early in the morning, he carried the whole responsibility, he made the deals, he entertained, etc. The strain was almost unbearable and he became deeply unhappy. Then the moment came when he said to himself: "I'm a jackass. I'm an old man and I know it." A weight dropped from him. He saw that he need not carry the old responsibilities. He saw that the sunset hour was upon him, and he could sit in the warm light and smoke and remember and enjoy himself. He did so. His last years were a joy to all around him. He was "a grand old man."—Los Angeles (Cal.) "Daily Times." For Sale BEAUTIFUL NEGRO DOLLS 16 INCHES, $2.00 Beautiful Negro Calendars, large size, 1923 $2.00 per dozen.

Nature-Tropical por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 54-56 Oeste, Calle 135, Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor Mensaje Dirijido a Los Pueblos Negros del Universo en Referencia a la Nueva Crisis de Guerra—La Unión de la Raza Se Impone, Especialmente al Surgir una Nueva Conflagración—El Negro Cristiano No Luchará en Contra del Negro Mahometano—La Lucha de Nuestra Raza No es una Lucha Religiosa, Sino una Lucha Política El universo entero se encuentra de nuevo en estado de intranquilidad con motivo de los rumores de guerra. Se nos ha informado de la gran inquietud que experimenta Europa con motivo de la derrota que ha sufrido Grecia por las fuerzas de Turquía. El jefe turco ha dirijido una nueva ofensiva la cual ha perturbado la tal llamada, por los Lloyd George, Clemenceau, Orlando y Wilson, perpetua paz universal. Como raza nunca hema creido en la profesión de estos pronosticadores del destino; tenemos el convencimiento de que no ha de existir tal paz entre los hombres, toda vez que el fuerte continue oprimiendo al débil; toda vez que el ser humano cometa injusticias contra su semejante. El imperio de Turquía, como otros pueblos del universo, ha quedado muy poco satisfecho al finalizar la última contienda mundial ¿Cómo es posible obtener paz con un mundo lleno de descontentos? Entre estos figuran los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del universo. Estamos descontentos porque se nos ha arrinconado a una orilla; porque se nos ha robado; porque se nos has explotado; porque se nos ha destruido, aun en nuestra propia madre patria. Habrá guerra y habrán rumores de guerra, toda vez que tal estado de cosas continue, para descontento de la humanidad. En el conflicto amenazador entre Turquía y los poderes de Europa vemos de nuevo a Gran Bretaña pidiendo ayuda a sus dominios como lo hizo en el año de 1914. La raza anglo-sajona velará naturalmente por sus propios intereses, pero, los millones de Negros, actualmente bajo las garras de otros poderes, estan determinados a mantenerse firmes una vez y para siempre como una raza unida. El Negro no adelantará ni retrocederá un paso en defensa de las otras razas; reservará su solidaridad para defender la libertad de su propia patria el Africa y para emancipar a su raza en todas partes. El Negro valerosamente ha servido en varias ocaciones a distintas razas y naciones sin haber obtenido la recompensa ni la consideración que el caso requiriera y no se encuentra dispuesto a hacerlo por mas tiempo. Está determinado a tener voz y voto en los acontecimientos humanos y a defenderse cuando su libertad y su vida peligren. El Negro no ha declarado guerra a nadie y cuando los demas así lo hagan, deberán exponer una razón convencente para que el Negro de un paso hacia adelante. Los cuatrocientos millones de elementos de nuestra raza desean la completa y absoluta redencion del Africa; ésta será la única y exclusiva razón por la cual el Negro estará dispuesto a derramar de nuevo su sangre en beneficio de cualquier raza ó de cualquier nación. Si Turquía desea a Constantinopla; si Gran Bretaña desea limpiar a Turquía del continente europeo, también los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del mundo tienen su deseo: que los poderes de Europa salgan de Africa, cuna de nuestra raza. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra apela en general a los elementos de nuestra raza para que en estos momentos en que nuevas nubes ocultan la luz de la tranquilidad, olvidemos para siempre nuestras pequeñas diferencias, consolidándonos en una sola idea. Opinamos que esta nueva rotura de relaciones será el paso preliminar de una guerra Santa; será un conflicto entre cristianos y turcos. El Negro no esta interesado en guerras santas, apesar de haber millones de nuestra raza que difieren en sentido religioso, y no irá tontamente a la guerra por cuestión de religión, especialmente cuando esta sea iniciada por las otras razas. La lucha del Negro no es con la religión; la lucha del Negro es con las injusticias políticas. Aquellos que son cristianos y aquellos que son mahometanos entre nuestra raza, patrocinarán sus respectivas doctrinas y nada les persuadirá. Entre nosotros, como raza, no existe diferencia alguna; veneramos el mismo Dios; aspiramos a gozar de las libertades del mismo cielo y no hemos de diarnos el uno al otro por el simple hecho de diferir en opinión religiosa. Lo práctico para nuestra raza es la realización de su ideal, no por medio de una contienda religiosa, sino por medio de una contienda política; el gran principio de libertad y justicia humana.

Resolución del Partido Socialista Obrero Cubano El partido socialista obrero cubano ha adoptado en su última sesión la resolución siguiente a propósito de los últimos acontecimientos políticos en la laisa. El partido socialista obrero de clara. 1. Que no se hace solidario de ningun acuerdo que respalde a los partidos políticos existentes ni a los gobernantes que en su nombre han usurpado el poder. 2. El partido socialista obrero protesta contra toda tentativa de ingerencia extraña en los asuntos de la vida y administración nacional. 3. El partido socialista obrero espera que se castigue a los que han usurpado la representación oficial, han hecho de la república botin de guerra, del tesoro renta para sus inmoralidades y de la república un trapo que encumbra sus depravaciones y condena ante la opinión pública a los que de la independencia aca no han sabido defender la moral pública y los derechos ciudadanos en el periodo republicano. Y por tanto; ante al país y la conciencia nacional promete en concordancia con su programa y sus ideales que no permitira que la república se hunda sin antes impedirlo como socialistas y como cubanos. Mr. Harding No Ira por Ahora a Puerto Rico El gobernador de Puerto Rico ha desmentido los rumores que estaban circulando con insistencia sobre una probable visita a la isla el mes proximo por el presidente Harding de los Estados Unidos. El gobernador advierte que el próximo mes estará todavía reunido el congreso y que luego vendría el periodo de las ecciones, durante el cual el presidente tendría que permanecer en Washington. Por ahora no cree que el presidente效ue su viaje a Puerto R.co El Empréstito Para la República Haitiana Han sido enviadas las invitaciones a los banqueros norteamericanos para que hagan oftertas sobre la emisión de diez y seis millones de pesos en bonos que forman la serie A. del empréstito de caurenta millones provisto en el protocolo firmado por Haiti y los Estados Unidos. Las invitaciones fueron hechas por el gobierno haitiano por mediación de su consultor financiero. John A. Moilhenny, actualmente en los Estados Unidos. León de Jean, ministro haitiano de relaciones exteriores que ha pasado en los Estados Unidos dos semanas en mision especial conectada con el proyecto empréstito, ha estado conferenciando con los funciones del departamento de estado y con representantes financieros en Nueva York acerca de la materia. Las ofertas sobre el empresito se iniciarán en el departamento de estado por el consultor financiero y representante haitiano el 25 de Septiembre, según se ha anunciado. Por la ley reciente expedida por el consejo de estado haitiano, se autorizó al gobierno a contratar un empréstito de cuarenta mí儿ones de pesos oro americano, el cual ha de ser emitido en series, la primera de diez y seis millones y las otras a medida que lo vayan requiriendo las necesidades del servicio público. Los bonos devengarán un interés de seis por cientí, vencerán en 1952 y serán garantizados con las rentas internas de la república y en seguido lugar con las enfradas aduaneras. El principal propósito del empréstito es aprovechar la situación actual del mercado de cambio a fin de refundir los empréstitos extranjeros de 1910 cuyo titulos posées Francia, los cuales alcanzan a dn total de ochenta y siete millones de francos. El resto se empleara, según declaración oficial, junto con los bonos de la emisión interna que se tiene en mientes, para el pago de las deudas internas y obras públicas. La emisión de bonos por la deuda interna con el interés de seis por ciento, alcanzará a cinco millones. Gozarán de la misma garantía que los bonos extranjeros de la Serie A. a serán expedidos en Haiti. La refundición de las deudas aliviará de la urgencia las rentas haitianas y preparará el terreno para la introducción de reformas necesarias en los impuestos. El Gran Peligro Turco La victoria turca es tan completa que Grecia ha sido eliminada como factor serio en la negociación de la paz. La paz se hará entre Turquia y los aliados, no entre Turquia y Greece. El tópico no sera Esmirna, objetivo de la lucha, sino Constantinopla v los Dardaneles. Nadie debe sorprenderse, por lo tanto, de que Rusia se hay lazanzado al centro del estadio. El problema de Constantinopla es mucho más un problema ruso que francés, británico o italiano. Y el goberno soviét, de ello podemos estar seguros, actua fundandose en motivos rusos y no bolchev ques. Reclaman lo que el goberno ruso, zarista, comunista o democrático, demandaria con toda certeza, pues para Rusia la libertad de los estrechos es materia de vida o muerte económica. Para la Gran Bretafia el dominio de los estrechos es meramente un lujo estratégico, valioso como salvaguardia nacional para su imperio oriental y rua la la Inda. Para Francia el dominio de los estrechos es una fase menor de sus ambiciones en el Ayala Menor. Si ha de haber algun arreglo, el consentimiento de Rusia es por lo tanto necesario e inevitable. Sin ella no puede haber una solución duradera. Concediéndolo así, cual debiera ser el objetivo de los aliados en el asunto? Rusia respalda a Turquia por razón de tactica, porque ella a piensa que puede obtener mejores términos de los turcos nacionalistas que de los británicos y franceses. Pero Francia ha apoyado también a los turcos con el objeto de contrariar a los británicos. El peligro está en que los turcos embriagados con la victoria y respaldados tanto por los franceses como por los rusos, invadan a Europa y prendan la hoguera de otra guerra balcanica. A fin de contener a los turcos es necesario, pues, que ingleses y franceses y rusos ceebren un acuerdo en firme. Esa es la clave del asunto. Esta significa, sobre todo la desmilitarización de los Dardanelos bajo la supervisión no meramente de británicos y franceses sino también de los turcos. Deben darse a Rusia tales derechos en los estrechos que nunca se vea en la necesidad de temer embotellada de nuevo en el Mar Negro. Si los aliados no pueden acceder a las demandas rusas, el fuego que inicio en el oriente la guerra mundial continuará ardendo ferozmente. —N. Y. World.

Manifestaciones del Presidente de Cuba a los Veteranos de la Independencia El presidente Zayas, al referirse a la visita que le hicieron los veterinarios de la independencia recientemente para conocer la verdadera situación del país, ha hecho la declaración siguiente: Los veteranos me visitaron, hace unos días avidos de conocer la verdadera situación del pals, cumplieron un acuerdo de la asamblea suprema del contejo nacional. En esta entrevista les informé detalladamente, de todos los problemas de actualidad, y los comisionados pareceron quedar muy complacidos de la información reclibida, que estaba contesta con la expuesta por los presidentes del senado y la camara a quienes momentos antes habian visitado con igual objeto.

Ramon Apezteguia Hernandez. Santiago de Cuba. Los Poderes de Europa Amenazados Por el Islam Las batallas que se registraron en los meses de Agosto y Septiembre de 1922, en el Asia Menor, se considerarán como las más importantes de la guerra mundial después de la batalla del Marne que significó el fin de la hegemonia alemana en el mundo. De estas batallas surgirá probablemente un movimiento agresivo is'amita que determinará la ruina del poderio europeo en el Asia. Inglaterra, Francia e Italia, pronto se veran envuelta en una guerra sin cuartel con el Islam. La entente principia a pagar el precio de no haber medido las capacidades en 1919, antes de dividirse el mundo. Peco no sólo contra la justicia, sino también contra la prudencia, lo cual implica el error más grande que se puede cometer cuando se tritanan asuntos de trascendencia mundial. Este, para la media luna, es el primer rayo de regocijo y esperanza y triunfo que ha brillado en más de un siglo. Por primera vez desde la revolución francesa un ejército musulman ha derrotado a una gran potencia europea sin la ayuda de ningún cristiano. No habrá ni un sólo musulmán, desde Marruecos a la India, que no abrigue en lo más intimo de su ser de que Mustafa Kemal Pasha ha de rotrodo no sólo a Grecia sino a Inglaterra y a la entente. La victoria no podía haberse registrado en un momento más oportuno para el Islam. Europa está dividida, empobrecida, casi totalmente desarmada y gobernada por retóricos ignorantes, abogados intrigantes y especuladores. Su poderio militar y prestigio estan destruidos. Nunca estuvo tan débil como ahora y menos capacitado para rechazar una acometida para La catástrofe asiática, porque ha sido una catástrofe para Europa, es una consecuencia de la locura de la entente al olvidar, con el ardor de la embriaguea de la victoria, que Constantinopla es la ciudad Santa musulmana. Esta locura quizás la obliga a entrar en una guerra en que muí lares de europeos serán sacrificados en el altar de su amicción. laso de confraterpidad y respectad que unidos serenos fuertezas, más divididos caerronos.

Sept. 8.—A tablet is to be placed in the ward of a London hospital, where an African hero, Chief Mandombi, allowed himself to be used for experimental treatment which resulted in locating the germ which causes the dreaded sleeping sickness. Attacked by sleeping sickness in the Congo in 1890, Mandombi suggested to an English missionary that he be sent to England and experimented upon in order that some effective cure might be found for the disease. For four months specimens of Mandombi's blood were taken every four hours until at last the germ was identified. The strain had been too much, however, and Mandombi died as truly a martyr to the cause of human grogness as any of those who have sacrificed their lives that their fellows might have an increased chance for health and happiness. It is well that the memory of such men should be perpetuated and that their names should be known, for they have contributed to human advancement the dearest thing given to them, and when they give up their lives they come as near the divine as ever a man does. COLORED MEMBERSHIP PUTS METHODISTS FIRST NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—According to the Year Book of the Federal Council of Churches the growth of the Negro Methodist Church is the most remarkable church growth during the past five years.

Literary Editor of The Negro World. Dear Sir. I noticed a question asked you, published in your paper of April 22, 1923, on the solicitation of further light on the subject of "Immortality of the Soul or of Man." While I do admit that this question was asked you, and yet after you having published it there and then it becomes a public question. And the question has not only interested the author, but has interested me so very much that I thought to ask you to kindly allow me space in the columns of your wonderful world-wide known paper. The Negro World to give explanation to the question as asked, if you will permit me. The first explanation that I will attempt to give is on an immortal soul. First of all, what is that soul which is to live eternal? We are compelled to use the Holy Bible for all decisions. Now millions of people are under the impression that the soul is a spirit, but not so. The soul and the spirit are divided by the word of God. (Feb. 4, 12.) When death comes to us, its sole purpose is to destroy the soul, which is our life. (Gen. 2, 7. I Kings 27, 17-22.) Jesus' death is a true example of this fact. Let us see what He lost when He was crucified. (Isaiah 53, 12-12). Now we know it is a fact that he did not lose his body nor his spirit, and the spirit ascended up to Heaven, and on the third day that spirit came back and resurrected that body and carried it away from this world. Then the thing that He poured out was his life, which was His soul, and as He is, so are we. (I John 4, 17.) Every living thing has a soul (Job 12, 9-10) and that soul of man can be saved, and will be, if we submit to the plans of God. (James 6, 19-20). And this is the only way for it to be saved (Prov. 7, 2), for when it dies it is dead forever (Psalms 49, 6-10.). So then I am one that believes in the saving of the soul (Heb. 10, 22), for it is only the soul of the sinful that dies. (Ezek. 18, 4: Acts 3, 22-23; II Kings. 14, 8: Rom. 4, 2.) The souls of the righteous the Master will not suffer to famish (Prov. 10, 3-8), as he says only fools die. (Prov. 10, 21.) Now while we live there are three parts of us which God wants to keep together. (I Thess. 5, 23-24.) Now this shows that the spirit and the soul are two separate parts, and the body the third part, so then the mission of death is to divide these three parts, which means your destruction. The soul dies (Eskul. 18, 4.) The spirit returns to God, from whence it came. (Eccl. 12, 7.) The body returns to dust (Job 18, 14-18), and thus by death the man is divided, and he shall never rise. (Job 14, 1-2, 7-18, 19.20; Job 7, 9.) The resurrection spoken of in I Cor. 18, 12-19, is while we live, which is a resurrection by the baptism of the Holy Ghost. (I Cor. 15, 17-46; Rom. 6, 3-6.) God does not want any man to die the second death (Mark 12, 24-37), for he says that it is appointed unto man once to die. (Heb. 9, 37) Now there are two kinds of death. One is death unto sin (Rom. 6, 1-11), and by this death we overcome, and he that overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death. (Rev. 2, 7-10, 11-17; Rev. 21, 7-8.) So then if I die the death as mentioned in Rom. 6, 7, and then die the second death as mentioned in Rev. 21, 8. I will then by dying the two deaths, which is more than is required of me by my Maker, as he truthfully tells it is appointed unto man to die only once. (Heb. 9, 37.) He says that he has no pleasure in the death of those who die. (Eskul. 18, 21-24, 31-32.) I am sure that he speaks here of the second death because he says twice dead, plucked up by the roots (Jude 12, 23), and again he says that he is not willing that any should perish. (II Peters 2, 9.) He comes not to destroy man's lives, but to save them. (Luke 6, 66.) And that we may have life and more abundantly. (St. John 10, 10.) Many thousands do say that we must go into the grave and then rise unto this life normal. That is not so according to the Bible. That is an error like many other mistakes that they make in the interpretation of the Bible. The life that He wants us to enjoy this present life, and the one to come right here. (I Tim 4, 8-11: Prov. 12, 13; Deut 6, 2-24.) For if He go into the grave, or rather die the second death, we are finished with. As you know that is the case with a beast. The Master says that there is no pernance if we die. We are as the heart that dies. (Eccl. 19, 29: Psalms 15-18, 20.) Now, then, we will cows, and we eat them, and you know that is the end of them, and ed it is with any person after death. He has no portion in anything that be. (Eccl. 9, 2-6.) The Lord will redeem our souls from death, that we do not see corruption. (Psalms 15-18, 20.) If we will only obey His command, he also will quicken us, which means to spirit us. (Ephes. 2, 1-6) When we live, if we will live for him. (St. John 8, 51.) We bother in Cor. 15-19, which says him, "In this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most difficult. Why, I say the same. If he is in this life I have hope in Christ. What then? A converted life, yet a natural life. Born. 1-14. Why, here are no spoken speaking (Titus 5-6). The answer that I must be born again is 5-7), and Paul was not, yet that sinless because he said so. When he says that he had not attained union with his persecutor (Philippus & 1-11), though he was a Christian, dies as a true difference between good and being converted. The answer that we are converted by conservation and belief was by the word I say 5-9), John 5-11). Here varted our sins are not forsiven until after that conversion has taken place. To make it plain, any man that is not born of God can and does very often go back into sin. As one that is born can not, no, never, as long as he lives, can he go back into sin (I John, 3-7-8-9). You will pardon me for not giving more light on this, as it is not just the subject just now, and to explain it as I should it will be lengthy, though if I am permitted I will fully explain this subject at another time. Coming back to the main subject, God says that we must be born again; yes, born out of sin in righteousness or in Christ, which birth brings me into a new life, as is spoken of in Rom 6-8-11, and in that new birth we are quickened, which is spirited. This means a change that comes in a moment (I Cor. 15-81 to 85), after we have suffered a white, not in the beginning. Now the sting of death is sin. All right. For an instant I am out of sin and I am changed. Then what will death feed on? Remember the gift of God is eternal life and the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6-28), and the victory of the grave is my body, which means death, having had power over me, dominion over me, rule over me. Remember death is the cause of the grave having dominion or victory over me, and can only reign where there is sin (Rom. 6-12-17-18-21, Job 6-19-20). Turn, for will you die? (Ezek. 83.7 to 18.) So, then, if I am changed or have fully turned, where, then is the graves victory? It seems to me that I have won the victory by allowing the Lord to do away with that which feeds death (John 3-8), which is sin (If Tim. 1-1, 9, 10). Now he has left it to me to take my choice, live or die (Deut. 18, 15 to 18). And so, as the author of this question states, God alone has immortality. The author should have noticed that it reads thus: God who only hath immortality dwelling in the light, which no man can approach (I Tim. 6-10). We know that it is only He that has it, and it is from Him we get it, and truly Him only, as he says to seek for it (Hom. 3-7-8). So God has it for us. That's why He bids us to seek for it. The preaching of the cross is to them that die, foolishness (I Cor. 1-18). Because thousands of us have made covenants with death (Isaiah 25-15, 18). The people of today are chasing death (Jeremiah 8, 8). Agreement with hell is with what? Have you with any idea? Well, I will tell you. Hell is the grave (Psalms, 40, 15), and use the reference to this voice in my book, it is six and seven, now this is true the world is preparing for death and the grave. Why? Because we have not had any other teaching, but that every so-called Christian that you will find on the streets, or anywhere else today, if they get a chance to talk with you, will tell you to get ready to die, and not one will tell you that God wants you to serve him and live (Psalms 91, 15-16; Hos. 13-14). One of the most important promises that God made to us is everlasting life, which is immortality (Titus 1, 2-1; If Tim. 1, 9-10). All of the people of old lived to an old age, such as Methuselah, who lived 969 years (Gen. 5, 27). Adam lived 930 years (Gen. 5, 3-45). Both lived 912 years (Gen. 5, 7-89). Enos lived 905 years (Gen. 5, 10-11), etc., and yet we cannot believe it possible for us to live also a long life, and yet the Master says that there is no respect of person with Him (Rom. 2, 11), and He can do this much for them and still we are so inferior to them that he will not let us live to see an old age. Then we make the Master out as false, as it would appear that he has respect of persons. Now he says let every man be a liar, and God be true (Rom. 3-4). We also have to use an example of the resurrection of the dead, as I find recorded in this old Bible. Every one that the Master raised was restored to this natural life. Let us quote some of these cases. Lazarus (St. John II, 11 to 14, 22 to 25). Please take careful notice of the 26th verse and the 39th, 48th and 44th. Next the only son of a woman (Luke 7, 11 to 15). Woman received their dead (Heb. 11-85). The ruler's daughter 12 years old (Mark 5, 38 to 48). Dorcas raised to life (Acts 9, 88 to 41), and Paul restored to life (Acts 20, 9 to 12), and so then we notice by this from Jesus down to his Apostles all that was ever raised from the dead was returned to this life again. Well, let us see if any of the old Holy Prophets, after all of their obedience to the great Master of all, and after all of the blessings that He bestowed upon them, was any of them blessed with the privilege after death to enter heaven or was any of the old prophets resurrected after death. We will belin at Noah, who was a perfect man and walked with God, Gen. 6-8-9, Gen. 9-1-8-9-28-29. Abraham, Gen. 12-8-9. Lot, another just one, II Peter 2-7-8, Gen. 19-15-16. Isaiah, Gen. 25. II Deut. Gen. 35-29. Jacob, Gen. 28-18 to 18; his death, Gen. 49-38. Moses, who was even buried by God Himself and did not get into heaven, Eocles. 10-3-4-5, Num. 72-12-18. Deut. 52-6, David, who was dead 1.016 years before Christ was born and who did please God in all of his works, one whom God blessed abundantly, acknowledged himself that he is not in heaven, Acta. 2-34; and there is none ascended up to heaven, not one by the way of the grave. St John 8-18. Here is Joseph, who we all know was good, whom God did love, who bagged the body of our Lord Jesus and buried it, and for such a wonderful dead as that deserved credit and recompense, but there is no record that he want to heaven. Gen. 41-23-28-40. Here is death. Gen. 41-23-28-28. Now, there can never be any better Christian than these, and yet they died. But why? as there is a reason for all things. We will begin at Moses and Aaron. Why they died was because they disobeyed God. Num. 30-12-18, Female. 109-28-28. Here is what Moses said. Num. 20-18, and why all of the other prophets died because of disobedience, and the promise of life was not given to them because of their disobedience. Heb. 2-13-23 to 19. Heb. 13-18-23 to 69. Remember what the promise is to THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1922 John 3-28 and Heb. 11-40 do show that it is for me and all other generations after me. Gal. 3-18-75-29. Acts. 2-29. And so as the prophets of old died and the children of Israel, because of unbelief, so will it be and so it is with us today. Ye, many of you will read this in your own Bible and say you believe the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and yet you will go to the grave because of unbelief. The Master says men die for want of wisdom. Prov. 10-21. Eat of the bread of life, not to die, but to live. St. John 6-23-58. Whoseover liveth and believeth on me shall never die. John 11-26. Woll, then, if we die after we have heard the real truth, many of you will not believe and you shall die, too. I cannot force anyone to believe, but I must do what my Master says, and that is to warn the wicked of death. Exekiel 3-17 to 21. Heb. 10-39. I Peter 6-18-19. Righteousness delivereth from death. Prov. 11-4. Matt. 25-26. Remember here is the question asked of my Master, the same we all need to ask. Luke 10-26. Who so findeth the Master findeth life. Prov. 8-24-35-36. Jesus died that we might live and not that we might die. John 3-16-16. Il Cor 5-15. Heb. 2-9. I John 2-5. Rev. 5-9. Hold on life. I Tim. 6-12-19. Mr. Author, I trust that you will carefully examine the American dictionary to note whether or not I have properly quoted the subject of immortality, as I find the full meaning of the word is exempt from death, having life, or being that shall never end, as an immortal soul. The quality of never ceasing to live or exist. Exemption from death and annihilation from life. Destined to endure without end. Perpetuity, existence not limited. Now, to make void this statement, you will have to destroy the whole Bible. If this is of no service, either, if this is untrue, when the Master said "I go to prepare a place for you." St. John 14-2. The place is the kingdom, Matt 25-31 to 34, and the kingdom is Himself, Matt 6-18, and He is a spirit. St. John 4-24, this is untrue, and so we can see that it is not heaven, as many say, because heaven has been all completed since the creation. Gen. 1-1, and none is gone to heaven. St John 13-3. Now, of salvation there are seven degrees, and this will prove that there are such degrees, James 1-9, and the seven degrees I shall explain and prove faithfully some other time that will be more convenient than this, and this is one of the degrees, the third one, there are two to be fully explained before this one, which I will explain if I am given a chance. I beg to remain a member of Local No. 28. Chicago Division, U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. DANIEL PETERS SELIGMAN AND DU BOIS ON THE WEST INDIAN SELIGMAN AND DU BOIS ON THE WEST INDIAN February 18, 1922. Editor of The Negro World. Dear Sir: It seems as though two high ranking officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in their attack on the Universal Negro Improvement Association think they can do so best by using humiliating inferences of West Indiana. We have seen how Mr. H. J. Sellman, in his description of the U. N. I. A. and its founder, has taken the subtle forms of the English language to imply his low esteem, but it was first Dr. DuBois who condescended to come down from his scholarly height to label them "peasants." It would, perhaps, be more analogous to Dr. DuBois' position when looking down with contempt on any people to use this phraseology of the learned, "the ignorant and vulgar," for these, of whom the humblings are chiefly made up, form about four-fifths of the world's population. Their conditions are, to a greater extent, the effects of selfishness, prejudice, oppression, and the high esteem of riches. The West Indian Negro is no more responsible for the economic conditions of those islands than is the American Negro for his hostile environment; and, as heredity cannot be the basis of opinion, it is blasphemy how these two erudite gentlemen can hold such a concept in judgment and arrive at so logical a conclusion: that a man must necessarily be created in the image and likeness of his environment. My whole nature rises to demur against such a statement. It is, indeed, a libel against God that a man has not enough in him to rise superior to either heredity or environment. "... Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, and waste its fragrance on the desert air." Thus we hear the poet sing, and we see th. actual manifestations throughout nature; but, what man is he, no matter what his abstract philosophy may be, who can bring himself to the conviction that he was born, rather than forced, to be a plaything of the winds of injustice and thereby be, in totality, the substance of their effect? It is about time that follows of the old school eschew from their minds such musty thoughts and elicit the true doctrine of the possibilities of man's nature. That there is a something in man which transcends the physical and psychological influences of his environment. I heartily concur. Dr. DuBois is responsible for the statement that as long as economic slavery and an aggressive, policy exist in the West Indies and Africa, the status of the American Negro will not be advanced. This statement may be refuted on the ground that if the public sentiment of white America is for the advancement of their colored population into full-fledged citizenship, why await the change elsewhere? We imagine it will again be the indirect cause of a civil war.

The program of the Convention this year will be far in advance of that of the two preceding conventions. Important Commissions will be sent abroad from the Convention, and a great deal of constructive work will be done and representatives sent to different parts of the world to carry out the commands of the Convention. Therefore, it is incumbent upon every Negro to contribute his or her bit to meet the tremendous expenses that will be inflicted upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The 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.
