DISGRACED NEGRO PARSON FROM DETROIT AMONG THOSE FIGHTING MARCUS GARVEY
VOL. 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

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

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

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-

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.
Chairman Muldoon in anxious to prevent a repetition of the Willa-Tut Jackson affair, so Johnson must show form of sufficient merit to warrant his appearance in the ring with Jack Dempsey's dangerous challenger. Tut Jackson, by the way, has been reinstated by Muldoon, but Tut's managers, McCarny and Palmer, have lost their licenses.

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.

France Urges Yielding to Territorial Demands of Kemal — Britain Only Asks Freedom of Straits
PARIS, Sept. 12.—Limited assurances involving the return of Constantinople, Eastern Thrace and Adrianople to Turkey and averting possible war were tentatively agreed upon today at a meeting of the conference of Allied representatives and will be formally considered by the French and British Cabinets tomorrow morning.
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.
ENGLAND SENDS CRACK
REGIMENTS TO NEAR
LONDON Bopt 22--The Second Battalion of the Grenadier Guards will embark on board the steamer Empress of India at Glasgow tomorrow for the Near East. The steamer will call at Belfast for other troops. The Third Battalion of the Coldstream Guards will leave Aldershot Tuesday for Tilbury, where it will embark for Turkish waters. The Second Battalion of the Fusiliers and the Second Battalion of the Rifle Brigade also are under orders to move at short notice. A dispatch from a semi-official source in Athens says: The government is now devoting all its attention to the reorganization and reinforcement of the army in Thrace. It has taken serious steps which have been approved by the entire nation."—New York World.
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. LOUIS
At a meeting of the Executive Board he'd in Helena, Ark., Tuesday, Sept. 12. 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.

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.

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.

The joint note sent by Great Britain, France and Italy to the Angola Funk government carefully distinguishes between the status of Constantinople and the mastery of the straits which protect and command it. 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

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.

"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.

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. The trump pets blow the call to war. The shofar blows the call to peace and fellowship. Thousands of years have passed since first it reminded of unselfish conduct of loyalty to God and service to our fellowman—New York World.
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.

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.

THE UNITES STATES OF GUINEA
Editor of The Negro World.
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. Casually reading Mr. Lloyd George's speech at Genoa, and the almost inevitable conflict throughout Europe, and doubtlessly the whole world; the feeling in India over Gandhi's imprisonment; Ireland's present state of mind; the dissatisfaction in East Africa; the unexpected Russo-

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.

PHYLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL
The management of the Phyllis Wheatley Hotel, 8 West 188th street, this city, desires to announce to the general public that on and after Thursday evening, September 21, the dining room of the hotel will be transformed into a combination dining room and ball room. The management hastens to assure the general public that popular music will add to the pleasure of the dancers. Dancing will be continuous. J. Traylor, the manager of the Wheatley dining room, assures the public in advance of good food, first-class service and moderate prices.
WATCH YOUR STEP
Not necessarily for accidents, but for fear you are becoming too slow or losing interest in the game.
Are you blocking the traffic?
Make it snappy then.
Pep—yes, that's the word.
A man may be busy doing nothing, and he will impress you more than one who is busy standing still with a deep and profound look upon his face and "not moving a peg."

If that train is marked up late, instructions will be issued accordingly, and an explanation will be forthcoming why it was necessary to make a change in the schedule.

You may need medical attention, or probably it is a vacation.
In this procession of which we are a part (by no choice of our own) let's stand at attention and mark time, and if we all cannot be generals in this battle of life, then, whether it's a buck private or a rookie, we must watch our step and be good soldiers.

You are well versed in your line of business, and are to be commended for the wonderful progress which you have made.
But is this any reason why you should lean back on your care and consider your competitor inferior?
And when he beats, holier "Luck," and when you win, say it's a matter of science?
Remember he may have had the same (if not better) opportunities than you; so don't be misled because he is quiet and modest.

man up any kind of tree the purpose of
this movement Is obvious The Jews
‘and Negroes are almost certain to farc
badly a2 @ result of this subtie scheme
to eliminate them. It te only a ques-
{lon of time when the scheme will be

veraitios and colleges now most fre-

‘The Jews, who control more actual
cash than we Negroos can meet this
newer furm of race discrimination by
establishing great colleges and uni-
Voraities, just as they established at
Saratoga some years ago hotels of
thelr own by putting Judge Hilton out
of the hotel busines and becoming
the owners of the very hotel In which
they wore rofused accommodation bo-
cause they were Jews. [ very much
doubt whether the Negross would un-
dortake to retaliate in this way In the
matter of building a great college.
Rather, I think, we would be inclined
to Might for what we regard as our
rights to enter these schoola as etu-
donts, As no wealthy Negroes, eo far
as I know, have contributed to the up-
keep of Harvard or Columbia or Yale
or Princeton (which latter does not
admit Negro studente except in its
theological department), the right of
Negroes to admission as students does
not appear to be well founded.
Gome time ago it is said that a meet-
ing of white and colored persons was
held tn this city to organize an asso-
ciation for the benefit of colored people
and that one of the colored invited
guests ralsod some objection to the
method of procedure. The white chatr-
man was somewhat nettled by the
criticism and objections ralsed and
ald in substance: “Tho white mem-
bers of this committee are supplying
the money to carry on this work and
they propose to carry it on in the man-
ner in which they have planned. Any
colored porsons who do not find them-
selves in agroement with these plans
may withdraw from the meoting.”

whose influence influences in school or
church of other organizations. What

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Long live Miraus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association

Fellow Members of the Negro Race: ,
Why rosea your own industries and help to find em-

Eve: any or every dollar you spend with the Universal
Negro lnprovement Association helps to strengthen the financial
standing of the Race. The more you patronize your own cnter-
rises the more will we be able to employ more members of our
Race. Already we employ about five thousand Negroes all over
America and about four thousand abroad. In New York alone, A
we employ over two hundred.
If you expect the race to grow financially; if you expect the
race to become economically independent; if you expect the race
to be respected generally; if you expect lis to run more factories
and operate more enterprises; if you expect us tq employ more
Negrnes; then you must support the enterprises we have already
started. *

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.

A Tribute to the Industrial Program of the U. N. I. A. and the Negro World From Across the Pond
While local astrologers predict a plague of hoats for this year we are usually have among us without any previous information from pages and sees a real plague of flies these common known as house flies and what we call other Lagas prey for we will not be told about more plague to come, but advice as to how we can get over the present one. 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-

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.

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.

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."

This type of humanity has many forms in which it obludes itself, uses your notice.
You may be more intelligent than he other fellow, but is it a fair test to compare yourself with some one who has had no training?
Your beauty and personality may merit consideration, but why always introduce them as the order of the day?
If you are a better talker than your neighbor, Amen, but just for appearance sake, put your little foot on the soft pedal every now and then and take a rest.
A clown can be funny about ten minutes, and after he has told one of his best jokes he leaves you laughing, and you remember him as a good clown.
It's the last impression that counts (especially when you have elected yourself as the speaker of the evening), and this can beat be secured by pausing, catching air or even measuring off some land, and giving your audience a brilliant flash of your silence. J K RAMSEY.

THE QUESTION OF IMMORTALITY
Sir Wm. H. Ferris, M.A.K.C.O.N.
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.

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. However, supposing it to be true that the Negro of America can only advance automatically after the lid is taken off the Negro elsewhere, what, then, is the use of an organization, so narrow in scope as the N. A. A. C. P? Can its aims be objectified? Thus, it can clearly be seen that the relationship of the Negro is so interdependent that he cannot advance in individual groups but by universal unity as a race, and it is also seen that only he can and must ad-
Every Negro Asked to Contribute to Help Make Convention a Success
SEND IN YOUR DONATION NOW
For the purpose of meeting the expenses of the Third International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, the Universal Negro Improvement Association today opens its "Convention Collecting List," asking every Negro in the world to contribute a dollar or more to meet the expense of this gigantic movement.
The program of the Convention this year will be far in advance of that of the two preceding conventions. Important Commissions will be sent abroad from the Convention, and a great deal of constructive work will be done and representatives sent to different parts of the world to carry out the commands of the Convention. Therefore, it is incumbent upon every Negro to contribute his or her bit to meet the tremendous expenses that will be inflicted upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
The demonstration this year will surpass anything of its kind ever staged by any race. It is expected that several thousand delegates and members will attend the opening of the Convention on the first of August. Delegates will be coming from all parts of the world to take part in the deliberations of the Convention, and the British, French, United States, Italian, Belgium, Spanish and Portuguese Governments have been requested to send representatives to the Convention for the purpose of stating their social policies in regard to their government of Negro and Negroid peoples under their dominion.
Please send in your dollars, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred, to help in the work.
Address your communication to Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York, United States of America. All donations sent in will be acknowledged week
vance himself by proper education along all lines; hance, I am constrained to believe that the N. A. A. C. P. is only trying to hold up the scooper of distraction by waging war on the West Indians; but if it be understood, he will not be terrorised nor intimidated by their inferences of low esteem, and they may as well chant the beauties of the good as to bark against the bad.
