The Negro World

ENEMY ORGANIZATIONS ORGANIZING THEIR FORCES AGAINST MIGHTY MOVEMENT VOL. XIII. No. 8 Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The world in which we live is in a high state of excitement. We hear the noise of war, revolution and social unrest everywhere. The human race is universally disturbed because of the many injustices inflicted upon the masses by the dominant powers. The privileged classes have for centuries dominated the will of the masses, and, as it would appear, have ground out of the toiling millions the last drop of sweat. These millions are now in rebellion. They are striking everywhere—in England, France, Germany, America and in other parts of the world. Those who are not on strike are shaking their fists in bloody revolution as a protest against the industrial and political systems of the day. In this big noise for world readjustment in the affairs of the human race four hundred million Negroes cry out for better consideration and for justice. Among the many agencies agitating for better conditions among Negroes is the Universal Negro Improvement Association with its hundreds of branches on the five continents. This association has stirred up such a sentiment that the other races and nations of the world have come to realize that the Negro is to be considered as one of the principals in the drama of world readjustment. This association has sent its delegates to the League of Nations, who are sitting in that august assemblage. The delegation had the privilege of conversing with the leading statesmen of the world, laying before them the needs of a dissatisfied race. This, indeed, is a step forward. DELEGATION TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS Never since the fall of Ethiopia's glory has our race been so recognized as through our delegation at the third assembly of the League of Nations at Geneve, Switzerland. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922 IZATIONS ORGA GAINST MIGHT THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION AS STARTLED THE WORLD Big Noi for World Readjustment NEGRO DELEGATION AT LEAGUE OF NATIONS Negro manhood and Negro rights, hundreds of little satellites of the Negro race are endeavoring to heap upon us calumny and abuse; nevertheless, the millions of members of our race who desire that higher freedom have declared for the righteousness of our cause. We will fight on and on until our race is completely emancipated and our country Africa is free. UNPREPARED RACE LEADERS It is surprising to see how untrained and unprepared are the many men who claim to be race leaders, in that the things that tend to the advancement of our race are the things that they generally oppose. The men and persons who are generally doing the things that are needful are those whom they criticize. Indeed, we are bankrupt for race leadership. The present generation has given us very few men on whom we can rely for guidance in public and racial affairs. We have to make a new race out of the present one. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is engaged in this work, and we are, therefore, calling upon men and women of our race everywhere to give us the support that is necessary. Let black men, women and children, wheresoever they be, flock to the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, for those are colors of liberty. With this standard we go forth facing the world of opposition, and, like the Cross, for it we will die. THE METHOD OF NEGRO ENEMIES Now is the time to give all the support possible to the Universal Negro Improvement Asso- ciation. Now more than ever the organization needs your help morally and financially. For quite a while the enemies of our movement have been trying to prejudice the public mind against us. At least they have organized their propaganda all over the country to get individuals to testify against me in my forthcoming case to be tried in New York. This and all such have been the method of rival Negro organizations and individuals which reveal a very poor state of race consciousness among our people. When so-called leaders of our race will resort to such methods in opposition to other members of their own race it shows how unprepared our present day leaders are for guiding the destiny of our people. Yet they are promised a fight to the finish. The Universal Negro Improvement Association knows no retreat; we forget nothing; we remember everything. It may be that the sinister influence of the enemy will triumph for a day, but the race goes on forever, and the man who laughs last laughs best. Africa's redemption is near at hand, and Africa shall revenge every bit of injustice and every drop of innocent blood. We fight on courageously, counting not the cost, but blasting our way to that goal of liberty, freedom and democracy that is the hope of every Negro scattered throughout the world. U. N. I. A. DICTATES POLICY OF NEGRO RACE IN EVENT OF EUROPEAN WAR LIBERTY HALL, Sunday night, October 1, 1922 — No one—may, not even the most carping critic—can reach the conclusion after witnessing the vast crowd which assembled at Liberty Hall tonight and the unbounded enthusiasm manifested (a scene which is enacted Sunday night after Sunday night) that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is disintegrating, and that the Association and its leader, the Hon Marcus Garvey, are losing their grip upon the followers of the movement, which constitute the masses of Negroes throughout the country and the world. That misstatement has been played up in the local colored press with conspicuous regularity recently, with the object of creating discontent and distrust among the outside world toward the organization and destroying the morale of the membership. Harlem's Great Educational Forum LIBERTY HALL 120 to 148 West 138th Street Open Every Night for the Instruction of the Colored People of the City of New York Speeches Are Delivered Every Night by PROMINENT SPEAKERS BIG VARIETY MUSICAL PROGRAM Full Force of Black Star Line Band Every Night Accommodation for 6,000 People Nightly DOORS OPEN From 7:30 to 11:30 P. M. SPECIAL FEATURES on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday Nights Hold Marches Garvey in the Chair BE EARLY TO GET GOOD SEATS LET LIBERTY HALL BE YOUR SOCIAL CENTER Have an Idea What to Come On All Over the World To the contrary, however, the observant reporter finds that there is no diminution in the attendance at Liberty Hall, nor is there even any lukewarmness manifested to ward the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, furthermore, there is enthusiasm evidenced by applause whenever the name of the Hon Marcus Garvey is mentioned, and demonstrations of disgust and indignation whenever reference is made to the enemies of the Association, which reveals itself in hisses and derisive jeers. But the veriest proof of the confidence and faith which the leader of the movement commands is shown by the manner in which the followers rally to him in times of stress and persecution. Tonight it was announced that the case against Hon. Marcus Garvey instituted by the Federal authorities would come up for adjudication very shortly and that a defense fund was necessary to be raised; no sooner was the announcement made than contributions in denominations ranging from $10 down to $25 cents were literally showered on the tables. Certainly this does not bear out the statement that the leader of the movement has lost favor among the people. It is true that there are some grafting individuals who, becoming disgruntled because they have been denied access to the coffers of the association, have dropped out, but that bears no testimony to the fact that the masses of the people are losing interest and withdrawing from the movement. If the New York Division can be used as the barometer on which interest in the movement is registered, then it may be safely said that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is stronger today than ever and that there are no signs of languishing power and influence. The speakers tonight were Sir Wm. H. Ferris, Sir R. L. Poston, Hon. F. A. Toota, Lady Henriette Vinton Davis and Hm. Marcus Garvey. Sir William Ferris delivered a very intellectual discourse, in which he stressed the need of force politically, industrially, commercially and physically on the part of the race. These are the material forces, he said, that hurl races upward, and it was because the U. N. I. A. was endeavoring to put those forces into the hands of black man that he believed in its ultimate destiny and triumph. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis spoke eloquently on the Negro's struggle for liberty. Sir Robert L. Poston in a brief speech referred to the impending crisis in Europe and the possibility of Negroes being called upon to take part in the conflict. He gave the warning, therefore, that Negroes throughout the world should be prepared under the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey to take a decided stand in the interest of right when the occasion arises. Hon. F. A. Toots spoke on the subject of co-operation, and kept the audience wrought up to fever heat with enthusiasm as he encounted the enemies of the association and declared that if Garvey is wrong he is not the greatest sinner in Jerusalem and the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are prepared to stand by him and with him and follow him wherever he goes. Hon. Marcus Garvey's address on "The Coming Conflict" is as follows:— HON. MARCUS GARVEV'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: The subject of my address is "The Coming Conflict." You have already heard my statement on our position in the coming war. I am not going to restate that position tonight but I am going to comment on the situation as it is. We are near war today than we were yesterday. We are the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not entry for it. We would like it to be clearly understood that we are not against fighting a war in Europe so long as it stays in Europe. We are not against Turkey and England going to war, but we are only advising that the war does not concern us other than as spectacles, and the people who will work in the ammunition plants and factories when the other folks are gone. We are interested from that viewpoint. It has been announced that the War Department has ordered a flotilla from Newport News for service in the Near East and they will be gone by tomorrow. I do not know what they are going to do out there, anyhow they will be gone tomorrow. How shows that something is going to happen. Something must right before we can find our rightful place among the races and nations of the world, but the thing that is going to happen this time will be quite different from the thing that happened last time. In the past when we were called by the nation we answered because we had no leadership, we had no guide. Today things have reversed themselves and we as 400,000,000 people are determined to follow only in the path that will lead to freedom, to liberty and to complete emancipation of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. (Applause.) We repeat that we will not object to fight, but we are not going to fight Negroes whether they be Mohammedans or Christians. It is understood that we are not going to fight Negroes. It is understood also that one man is going to put on any uniform until he understands what he is going to put it on for. (Applause.) It is understood that if we can die in Constantinople we can die in jail. We do not say—they have said so—that the Turk is merciless and we are afraid of the Turk. If they had not told me so it would be different; but they themselves have gone out of the way to tell me how horrible the Turk is. We know the Turk, therefore, and we have no business with him. Going back to the serious side of it, the world must understand that the human race has been divided into different groups by nature, by God or by some superior power. Each group has its own troubles. Each group has its own business and affairs to look after, and I do not see why this treacherous Anglo-Saxon group should be continually making trouble—going to war and interfering with other people, robbing other people, and expect others to go and fight and die for them. It is not fair. Turkey has not interfered with us and why should we, therefore, go and die fighting the Turk or fighting some other Negro because some other race interfered with them? That is the position and they have tried and they are trying to show that it is a common cause—that it is the cause of religion—that the cross has been attacked by the crescent and, therefore, since all of us are Christians we should defend the cross. It is all a lie. The cross has not troubled anybody and the crescent has not troubled anybody, therefore, we are not going to "budge." The cross is still the same place where the man who died on it left it. It is in the hands of vagabonds—a bunch of scheming vagabonds who have been selling the cross piece by piece for 3,000 THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922 Negroes Will Not Fight Negroes Whether They Be Mohammedans or Christians—Must Be Told of Terms and Conditions Under Which They Will Fight—Will Demand Government for Themselves in Africa VAST AND ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD AT LIBERTY HALL—LEADERSHIP HAS LOST NO POWER BUT HAS GAINED FAITH AND CONFIDENCE OF MEMBERSHIP—ENEMIES OF MOVEMENT ARE MET WITH CONTEMPT—GREAT RALLY TO DEFENSE FUND FOR PRESIDENT-GENERAL Case to Be Called Shortly—Garvey Unafraid of Consequences—Says Work Will Go On Whether He Is In or Out of Jail—Inspiring Addresses by W. H. Ferris, R. L. Poston, F. A. Toote and Lady Davis years, and they have said so much of the cross now that there is nothing of it left to be sold to us. We have borne the cross and we are bearing the cross now heavily, and, therefore, we think we know when the cross is attacked. Our good friend John Bull seems to be on his last legs. He does not know whether he should go to war or not. They have been serving notice on the Turks that, if you do not get out of Smirny, or if you invade neutral territory we will send our army and stop you" They have cried to the dominions for help, and up to now they have not answered. They have not received the answer that will enable them to declare war. When the mosaque reached Australia they sent it to the League of Nations. When the news reached South Africa they dismissed it with an abrupt reply. When the news reached Canada they were unable to find the secretary of state to bring the matter before the government That is why England has not yet declared war. She is waiting for the answer, and let me tell you it is going to be a different answer this time than the answers of the past, and if England goes to war with Turkey and a great world war develops, after that war there will be no more British empire. Canada will be gone, Australia will be gone, South Africa will be gone, and little England will be left alone with all her troubles in Europe Mark that. They are calling upon colored folks to help, too. I suppose, since my naturalization papers are not yet complete, I am still a British subject, and, therefore, when David Lloyd George calls he includes me. Thero is one thing about me, and it is this: Anybody who holds my life or my destiny must have my confidence. If I have lost faith in your ability or confidence in your sincerity, you cannot lead me and you cannot do anything for me. Therefore, if David Lloyd Georgo means to include me when he says that "you must come over and help," there is one condition under which I shall submit, and that is that he pass over the reins of government to abler men and give me the job of prime minister. We have reached the point where the world must understand that we are in a serious mood and we are determined. The difference between us and other Negro movements is that they believe that as a race we owe everything to the other fellow. That is the difference between the Universal Negro Improvement Association and other Negro movements. We are not going to allow the good white folks to lead us any more, because they have led us into hell for the last 200 years, and we are going to lead ourselves now. Therefore, we are not going to allow them to lead us into war. Whenever there is a war, if we must fight, they must first of all let us know the terms and conditions under which we must fight. The nations of the world are crazy if they think the present-day Negro is going to fight without signing his contract first. What do we mean by that? We mean that they must consider giving us something. The last time they promised us a whole world of democracy, but we have been looking for it ever and cannot find it. They will have to come with more than promises this time. They will have to come in a business-like way, with a contract. They might talk about putting us in jail, but when they talk about jail as a means of stopping me from going on with my work, I am just amused, because every sensible man knows that a movement like this means not only jail but the electric chair sometimes. Some will have to suffer and some will have to die. I do not care what happens; I am going on my way. Was Christ afraid to go to jail in the promulgation of his doctrine of religion? The early fathers of the Christian faith, were they afraid of the gallowies? Were they afraid of the jail? Were they afraid of losing their heads? Surely not; otherwise we would have no Christian religion today. Was Martin Luther afraid of his life when he withstood the Roman edict? Was Robert Emmet afraid when he fought for Irish freedom and independence against England? Why should Marcus Garvey be afraid of the consequences while preaching the doctrine of African redemption and the complete emancipation of Negroes? Men who are in correct are not afraid of congenesis. Only cowards count the cost as far as their liberty individually is concerned Leadership means everything liberty, blood of death, and we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not afraid of the consequences. Not only one but millions must die before we have completely freed ourselves. Whether it is Marcus Garvey or somebody else to die first, whether it is Marcus Garvey or somebody else to go to jail first is immaterial. About my going to jail I want to say that I have not given the matter even a thought. It means that when Marcus Garvey dies the stage is only set for the greater work that is to be done. History is the land mark by which we are directed into the true course of life. The history of a movement, the history of a nation, the history of a race is the guide post of that movement a destiny, that race destiny, that nation's destiny. What you do today inspires others to do at some future time. I mean this, that what the Germans did to the French in 1870 inspired the French to whip them in 1914 to 1918. Every record of injustice in the history of a movement, of a race or of a nation inspires succeeding generations to revenge. That is the reason of history. England keeps track of what happens today because she hopes to revenge herself tomorrow. Negro peoples of the world are now keeping record of what happens, because they hope to revenge somebody on the plains of Africa. Every white man is welcome to put me in jail if it is done in the cause of African freedom. I do not know whether they understand it or not, that if Marcus Garvey dies Marcus Garvey's son shall revenge every drop of blood and every ounce of flesh, and the family record of Garvey shall go on until eternity. I feel sure we are well prepared for the work that is ahead of us. We will face the future as never before. We will watch developments in Europe as never before. I hope for war, I will not such a Christian as not to desire war at this time. I am that Christian that believes that without the shedding of blood there will be no remission of sins, and I believe that the unspeakable Turk is going to be the agent through whom 400,000,000 Negroes will see salvation, and if it comes tomorrow or the next day or a month from now I am praying that it will come because only through the coming of another great war in Europe will we get the opportunity to strike the blow for our freedom. (Applause) 8IR WILLIAM H. FERRI8 SPEAK8 Sir William H Ferris was the first speaker and said We are witnessing great changes in the status of the peoples of the world today. Four years ago it was believed that the sick man had been driven out of Europe, but now he has come back in Constantinople. The world has been shocked, too, within the past year by two dark phonomena in France—one in Rene Maran winning the Goncourt prize, and the other in Sikh, who defeated the idol of France, showing the supremacy along both mental and physical lines. Religion a Controlling Factor As a race we have been helped in the past by our religion, and we have been retarded by our religion. Religion is necessary in the evolution of mankind, because it teaches the world to believe in a Great Supreme Power who is moving towards a righteous end, and a man or a race that has no faith in God, that has no belief in any great Supreme Overruling and Overarching Power is lost. It is because man believes that there is a righteous God behind the universe that in times past prophets have struggled and have fought and borne sacrifices, believing that in the end justice would reign. But as religion has been preached from Negro pulpita, it has been preached as though God would do everything. The age of physical miracles is past. In the physical of my brief lifetime and my brief experience I have seen no physical miracles. Everything that I have seen in this terrestrial world among human force has resulted from the wise utilization of means to ends and using that intelligence which God endowed mankind with. There is one story told by Booker T. Washington which has impressed me. He told of a preacher who prayed "God send me a turkey"; the turkey never came. Then he prayed, "God send me to a turkey," and the turkey came. That has been the way in the world with man. They folded their arms and have waited on the Lord; other stronger men, other stronger races, and other stronger nations have come on the scene and gotten the bread and left them the crumbs and when they realised that they had brains, that they have five senses, that they have muscles and sinews and nerves and put them in exsolution, they then derived some of the good things of the world. As black people we are conscious of the fact that in most countries we are the under dogs and that we are oppressed in our native land. We have petitioned, prayed and resolved; we have wondered about the redempting of Africa Africa will be redeemed when the African themselves by their brain power their soittle knowledge their industrial force, commercial force and military force will become able to redress their own wrongs and right their givances. In this country there is an over arching prejudice, but the attitude with which a man faces the world reacts and the world gives him back his attitude. I remember one fall I was in Selalia Mu, and right in front of the smoking room of the station there was a big white bull dog sleeping. He lay there and no one kicked him out of the way or said, "get up from there. Everyone who passed in that smoking room went around the dog and permitted him to sleep in peace and ease Why?" He represented a potential physical force and the world respects that and the men in that smoking room respected that potential force. World Respects Force So is it with a race. If poverty and weakness are associated with a race that race will always be deprived, but if when you mention the name black man, if when you mention the name Ethiopian, if when you mention the name Negro strength force and intelligence are connoted and suggested by those words, those words will call forth the respect of the world. U. N. I A. Differs With Other Movements That is where the Universal Negro Improvement Association differs from other great movements. We have connected with this great movement Sir John E Bruce and the Hon T. Thomas Fortune, who have been identified with Negro movements and papers for nearly half a century. They are probably the only two surviving of the leaders of reconstruction days. But this is where the great movement differs from other great movements that I have been associated with and that I have read about. In other great movements a stream of satire was unleased. I have seen men proposing opinions which they thought would rival the celebrated opinions of Gladstone and Daniel Webster, and they would go to the convention and deliver a thirty, forty or sixty minute speech, get great applause and go back thinking they had made the speech of the hour and the speech of their life, and when the members of that convent on returned to their homes they food the same industrial and economic conditions, and in the last analysis they were compelled to beg alms from a other race. Has Stirred the World, inspiring the Negro with the spirit of human progress. It taught the Negro to do and drive, strive and achieve; it taught him to stop praving and stop petitioning and begging, and when you have created that spirit in a man, a race or a nation you will find that man, race or nation on the highway to suc- The Way to Success The only way to get along in this world is to get up and get and hustle and "get there Ell."

L. POSTON SPEAKS SIR R. L. PONTON said I was reading in the papers this morning where Bishop Tanner a Southern bishop has written Secretary Hughes that if America did not take part in the Near Eastern situation that white civilization is in danger and that this country would be committing a crime. There is no question about that something about to take place. I have a way of determining a few things from past experience. Whenever this country is preparing the young men for cannon fodder and when they are preparing them for material for long distance guns, you can always observe it through the newspapers. If you observed this morning the Daily News you saw on the front page where they picture the atrocities of the Turks in the parts they have conquered. If you observed the Times you saw a picture of the American Legion when they held their meeting at Syrrose and you saw a number of soldiers in the and you saw a coloured men marching in the and you saw a coloured men marching in the young men, teaching them how to do easy. That very thing occurred just before we entered into war with Germany and that same thing; that same being set at this time. I most very well told the people in my community did the job well that I got real angry at the Germans. Now that it is all over with and people have been declared I want to ask you in all accolades what was it that got the coloured men so scared at the man." When you compare the Germans with the other white groups in there any serious difference. Is anything that would make you take an unusual hatred for the Germans and bring the rest of them to your heart. The angel man in this late war was the coloured man in this war. No reason Nobody got either improve the thing he had done in the stage being set right now to go again. What Are We Going to Do? What Are We Going to Do? If this coming to the church's war between Turkey and the Balkan air, what are we to have to do? If it becomes a crisis we will have it, and a number of other ways, we will have this situation. We've eight percent of the church people in Africa are of the Muslim faith and whilst you we be adding with the white men from the stockpile of Christianity we will be the same time be fighting 15 percent of your black brothers in Africa. And the white question with the time going to tell us we are getting be foolish enough to do that the time we must not be led away with sentiment. We must continue. ANOTHER NEWSPAPER PUBLISHES NEWS OF DELEGATES AT LEAGUE A Request of the Negro Peoples of the World [From Le Journal, Genève] GENEVA, Sept. 14—The Congress of the Negro Peoples of the World (a universal association of 550 000 members) has sent four delegates to request the League of Nations to grant them the administration of the former German colonies for the purpose of establishing a confederation of the Negro peoples and to prove to the white races that Negroes are capable of directing their own affairs and developing self-government among themselves. The object of that confederation is not to arm blacks against whites but to create a closer understanding between them. T. delegation is composed of G. O.

RURAL NEGRO SCHOOLS IN SOUTH CLOSED TO GET MORE COTTON LABORERS Logic Is That Pupils Can Accomplish as Much by Dragging a Bag Between the Rows as Attending School, Causing Labor Shortage MEMPH18. Tenn. Sept. 28—And this is the way one of the Memphis dailies tells the story of Negro education The beckoning field of snowy white cotton now is about demoralizing the rural Negro schools in attendance. So many of the Negro students at the country institutions have felt the call of the cotton bag and boil that the board of education deems it necessary to close the schools temporarily on Friday September 4th was announced yesterday. The board took this step as an alternative to enforcing the States compulsary attendance law. Members of the board the Negroes are needed badly in the cotton fields, and can accomplish as much for the economic condition of this section by dragging a bag between the rows as by enforced attendance in school and consequently causing a labor shortage. The board will decide at its meeting early in October the date for the reopening of the Negro schools. About 1,000 students are affected by the closing order. Features ATLANTA Ga. Sept. 27 - Imperial officers of the Ku Klux Klan today admitted they were preparing to combat stiff competition in the very near future. This statement was made after incorporations of the rival "National Ku Klux Klan," with headquarters in Delaware, but authorized to organize anywhere in the United States, was announced here by W. S. Coburn, an Atlanta lawyer, former Grand Goblin of the Klan. "We are going to discard the mask and other un-American features of the old Klan," said Coburn, "and we expect to place high-class Americans at the head of the new order. We are of winning over a great portion of the personnel of the old order, and from the way things look at the outset there will be only one Ku Klux Klan in this country in a short time." The Western and Eastern States will line up solidly with the new order and heavy inroads will be made on the present Klan's membership in the South Coburn declared. Continuing, he said. "The mask is a menace, and is one of the causes of the downfall of Col. Simmonsa Empire. The conditions that have existed in the imperial palace during the Clarke-Taylor administration, and the law outbreaks in various parts of the country accomplished the rest toward making it possible to set up a new organization that will become powerful with great rapidity." Coburn said foreign-born persons would be admitted after naturalization, and that fees and assessments would be somewhat lower than the scale put into effect by Imperial Wizard Simmonsa and Imperial Kleagle Edward Young Clarke. ACTUAL CONDITIONS A group of American Negroes recently visiting Mexico in the interest of the International Community Welfare League, became Mexico's most ardent defender, and this has been an important factor in making known the truth about conditions of Mexico despite the efforts of those who misrepresent Mexico in the same manner they misrepresent the American Negro. Theodore W Troy. original president of the Lower California Mexican Land & Development Co., and now vice-president of the International Community Welfare League, nearly three years ago sold all of his possessions in the United States, crossed the border and invested 100 per cent. in Lower California, Mexico. He says it is the best move of his life. Mr. Troy is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mexico is once more on her feet! Peace has been attained! The people of Mexico are uniting with the Negro and all peoples of Latin or Indian blood. Political hatred and class rivalry have disappeared. Opportunity is given to competent citizens, and a solid spirit of work and unity prevail without distinction of race, color or creed. Mexico is attracting more capital than any other nation has received. The economic conditions are viewed by Mr. Kunning, expert adviser of the Chicago Association of Commerce. He says that the credit of Mexico is better than that of any other European nation. President Harding recently tabled the Dyer Anti-Lynching hill and urged the Senate to consider the Kelley hill, designed to protect aliens and foreigners. Negro migrating to Mexico and taking out citizenship may return to the "land of the free and the home of the brave." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922 Barbadian Pastor of A.M. E. Church Deported By Virgin Island Crackers High Handed Injustice Scored by Officials at Washington—Local Islanders Pledge Ceaseless Battle for Democracy in Our Island Possession By CASPER HOLSTEIN The Virgin islanders of New York have closed ranks to battle against the forces of repression in the island, this time by a direct appeal to Washington against the high-handed piece of injustice in the deportation of the Rev H G. Barrow, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church who has devoted his energies to assailing the popular Negro leader, D Hamilton Jackson, and the laborers of St Croix in their heroic struggle for manhood rights. As stated in The Negro World on the 9th inst. Rev Barrow had exited the prejudice of the cracker element and their black underattrappers by awakening the slumbering Negro in St Croix to the fact that he was a reality and to stand up as men and demand that right which is inherent to them. It is supposed the order for the deportation of the Rev Mr Barrow was a result of the underhanded alliance between Negroes who are puppets and a disgrace to our race and the cracker carpetbagger on the island for in a recent issue of the *Judas Journal* there were expressions of jubilation over this most cowardly outrage. But there is such a thing as laughing too soon. The Barrow case is the most high-handed illustration of the way in which the laws of the United States have been trampled on in the Virgin Islands that has yet come to light. It seems to have been planned as the last kick of the "tracker" administration. Apparentance point to former Governor Kittell and the local Attorney General, Washington Williams, a Maryland "cracker" (who also sits in the capacity of Magistrate of the Police Court), who acted as legal adviser to the Governor as the twin source of this illegal outrage. And Virgin Islanders on this side have made up their minds that it shall be the beginning of the end for Judge Kittell, who was kicked out not because he was to have been promoted to a higher position, as his "black hirelings" stated, but because he was reprimanded, as the record of the Navy Department shows, which is a demotion rather than a promotion, and Washington Williams, Gaffney McKean and their black understrapper, Payne, had better get their bags packed, for it is leaving time. These are the men who perverted justice to serve the ends of private vengeance and make of the American administration a hissing byword. EULOGY TO L'OVERTURE BANNED Washington Williams, I say Washington Williams, because it was Washington Williams who issued an order stopping school children (black) from reciting Wendel Phillips' eulogy on Toussaint L'Oberture, who stood far above any American character, past or present. Virgin islanders, won't you resent the injustice heaped upon you? Civil Law Set Aside The deportation of Barrow was planned to go into effect on the 9th of September, but for some reason it was not put into effect until the 14th inst. after D. Hamilton Jackson had left the island and was on the high seas. But even this was not sufficiently swift to satisfy the carrion-crows and the chicken-hawks of the local Christian regime. Therefore, on the 16th a request was sent to the Navy Department to speed things up and try the case in the Provost Marshal Court, a procedure which sets aside the civil laws in favor of the military laws which become legal only under military occupation. But the Virgin islands of the United States were not conquered by the army or the navy, but were acquired by regular civil and diplomatic process of the State Department and the Provost Marshal's office was, therefore, a cynical piece of lawlessness on the part of the Virgin islands' authorities and a brass effort of the bully and the brute, by force of martial law, for the legal and constitutional guarantees provided by the United States Constitution for the protection of the civil rights of the humblest American. No such over-riding of the fundamental laws of this country has been attempted, even in the turpentine camps of Alabama or the wilds of Tennessee. And even when military cases are tried in the Provost Marshall's Court the findings have to be sent to the Navy Department (or the War Department, as the case may be) for final approval and concurrence in the decision. But in this case we find that no charges have been sent to Washington and there is no record of the case on file in Washington up to the time Borrow was deported. It is proof positive that the deposits in the island intended deporting Borrow, then explain themselves out of it, but that shall never go unchallenged. Virgin Islanders Busy in Washington As soon as the facts were sent on here by cable, the Virgin Islanders got bury and sent off a delegation to Washington. This delegation spent Sunday and Monday with competent constitutional lawyers, senators and congressmen, and the result is that Barrow's case will get a fair and im- pairing hearing and he will be returned to his field of endeavor for guilt and improvement. In addition to this, Congress will have the true conditions in the Virgin Islands laid before them. next session is convened to the end that full and regular civil government may be set up as conveniently as possible. What Congressional Action Means Buch a pledge in an assurance to Uncle Sam's West Indiana that the 110,000 people in the United States are not governed by the army or the navy, but by the constitution and laws of the United States, which are regularly passed by the representatives of the people assembled in a Congress made up of a Senate and a House of Representatives in the city of Washington. In other words, the American Government is a government of law and not a military authority. Kittlede and Willama, Gaffney McKean and Payne will yet find themselves in a pickle over the tyrannical way in which they have disposed of the civil rights of a law abiding people. When Congress learns the entire truth about the political and civil conditions existing in the Virgin Islands, McKean and Payne and the other local input grants will find themselves with their occupation gone. In the island of Porto Rico the righteous indignation of the people, well-directed, has driven F. Mont Rielly to submit to the disgraceful procedure of impeachment and Governor Rielly had the distinguished support of President Harding. And the people of the Virgin Islands are no less deserving of a clean honest and capable administration. The Mont Rielly of the Virgin Islands has gone and Williams, Goffney, McKean and Payne must go next Crackerism Must Stop Th. Barrow case is the beginning of the end of cracker autocracy in the islands and there will be no stopping until the whole nest of rats has been legally hunted out. Congressmen and senators have already pledged their support to the end that once and for all time the Virgin Islands may be worth living in. The New Negro is now upon the scene prepared to protect the chastity of his womanhood and the sanctity of his home. Let Ue Brace Up and Be Men Twenty thousand Virgin Islanders on this side have drawn the sword of civic wrath, and sweep never to sheathe it until judicial villainy, governmental cheating and the carpet-hagging political parasites that are sucking out the democratic lifeblood of the people of the islands are driven out. As a people we are entitled to wage war against political peonage and civil injustice, especially when they concern us so closely. Hitherto we have been content to fight fair against our civic oppressors, but we warn them that from now on the lid is off and everything goes. In the deportation of Barrow they have thrown down the gantlet, and we accept the challenge in the same spirit it was given. Nor will we rest content until such foul and unclean parasites as are now in power, both black and white, are driven out of the islands and public life. The decent, law-binding people of the Virgin Islands must vindicate their manhood by toting the mark now, they must stand, stand together and demand some sort of permanent representation in Washington, so that, pending adjudication of their claims, their voice can be heard in Washington, even as that of the people of the Philippines is heard through Manuel Quezon. They must insist that every adult Virgin Islander shall have a voice in the management of their local affairs and that the present arrangement whereby five-sixths of the Colonial Council is hand-picked by the "cracker" undertrappers of the Navy Department shall be swept into the limbo of forgotten things. And the civil and political status of the more than twenty thousand Virgin Islanders now resident in the United States must be cleaned up so that their votes on this side can be used to aid their brethren in the island. The call is issued to all block patrols to join their forces, to stand up and be counted and to let the "crackere" know that they will not let them submit to outrage and oppression. In the field of battle, in the biography of life. MRS. SKYMERS, OF ANTILLA, ORIENTE, CUBA DIVISION, PASSES AWAY Again we are sorry to announce another death of one of our members of this division. On the 50th of August, 1922, Mrs. Ann Skimmers passed to that great beyond in her native home, Jamaica, B. W. I. She was sick for some time before she left for her homeland, and at the time of her departure she was unfinancial in our books. Hence, no one who is related to her can make any claim toward her death benefit, according to the laws of the constitution. We, the officers and members of the division, are in deep sympathy over the death of our dearly beloved sister and hope that other members of this or any other division will keep up their financial standing. It was not neglect, but prolonged illness that kept Mrs. Skimmers back. P. S. DEAN, Financial Secretary. FURS PRESIDENT OF L. M.

He is rendered splendid support by E E Pugh and Dink Stewart There is a large collection of beautiful chorus girls, who are unusually well trained.

COLORED NAVY EMPLOYE WINS $1,000 PRIZE WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United States Government has awarded $1,000 to John T Risher, a colored employee of the Navy Department, for devising the best system for the keeping of records of the navy. The award was made after a competition participated in by 105 naval officers, who submitted plans, the ruling being made by the Board of Admirals after a week's deliberation. It is estimated that the Risher system will save the government $100,000 annually. The Board of Admirals have already requested and received an appropriation of $200,000 from Congress for installing the system. It is said that this scheme will not only save time in the compiling and keeping of navy records but that by the officials will be able to locate any man in the navy, from the highest to the lowest, on a moment's notice, whereas under the old method it took several days to obtain this information. Mr. Risher entered the Navy Department twelve years ago as a $80-a-month messenger and is now chief of the muster roll division. He had given special study to this subject and suggested to the Board of Admirals that his plan would relieve the situation. The officials then instituted the competition and offered $2,000 as the prize. SILK AND GOLD Embroidered SERGE SILK COLLEGE LACE VESTEZ FREE 389 PENNY 1 SIKI, A FORMER DISHWASHER.

W. H. EASON Is no longer connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association All Divisions, Branches and Chapters Are Heraby Warned Not to Recite or Entertain This Person BY ORDER UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION By BAGIL D. WOON PARIS. Sept. 13.—Whatever the general opinion of yesterday's fight between Battling Siki and Georgus Carpenter, sportmen here are agreed on one thing—Jack Dempeye's title is absolutely safe from any European challenger. The husky aborigine who whipped Georges into insensibility is likely to hold his title only so long as he does not get into the ring with an opponent of real championship timber. He may accumulate science as he develops, but at the present moment he does not show promise as did Jack Johnson. Sam Longford or Harry Willis. The consensus of boxing opinion in Paris is that the Bengalese is capable of giving Wills a hard tussle, but that the American is far the batter man. Bikki's chief card is his jungle type of boxing. Crouching low, to his knees or often nearly to the floor with his effective headguard, fooled Carpenter as it is likely to fool any fighter who is not prepared for this style of fighting. Slow to Come Back Siki's enemy is his slow comeback, added to a nervousness which is transformed into savage fury as soon as he tastes blood. These two faults, say fight experts here, will make him easy prey for a cool-headed battler like Willa, whom Siki now challenges. The coal black champion is now the hero of France, parading the boulevards while women struggle to kiss him. On all sides Frenchmen are expressing the hope that at last a champion has arrived who may beat Dempsey. "I will challenge the big fellow when I beat Willa," said Siki, whose real name is Louis Fall, to me this morning, when I saw him in the act of purchasing his first automobile. The former dishwasher is scarcely marked, while Carpenter remains in bed, his beauty marred to such an extent that even his future film career is now in doubt. What Papers Say "Carpenter was defeated because he stepped into the ring as a film actor instead of as a boxer," says the Petit Journal. Carpenter was beaten because he thought more of millions than of sport, and was over confident and under trained, says the Main. "Carpenter underestimated a man who proved to be his master," says IAuto. "Skii can beat Dampsey." M. Hellerman manager of Skii says: "Skii's style of fighting does not follow any school, but it is my firm conviction that it is a throwback to the jungle. "I have discovered in Skii the phenomenon of a man who boxes like a chimpanzee would box if a chimpanzee could be taught to box. Skii has all the ruses, the address, the dexterity and the ring manners of a man. He does not resemble any boxer who has ever appeared in the ring. His science and his assurance increase daily. "Skii does not place any reliance in a swinging punch, but in jabe and uppercute, the strength and viciousness of which are amazing. He is the greatest surprise in the history of boxing. The very moment that every one is saying that he cannot possibly win he trumpa. I am confident that he can beat Dempsey." Hellers said that the first offer to fight Willa would be accepted. Wants Another Chance Carpenter wants another chance at the Negro. "I admit that I was beaten because I was over-confident," he said. "Skii's right reached my law in the third round at a moment when my guard was lowered expecting a clinch instead of a rush. "This will not happen again. I am challenging Ekii for a return match as soo my nasty hand heals. Take it from me I will put him out in one round next time." So terribly beaten and disfigured is Carpenter that he has been ordered to remain in bed until Wednesday—N. Y. American. DEMPSEY READY "Jack Dempsey is willing to meet Battling Sikh the conqueror of George Carpenter, at any time, either here or abroad," last night declared Dan McKetrick affiliated with Jack Keown and the Eastern representative of the heavyweight champion. McKetrick stated no offers have as yet been made to him for a Dempsey-Sikh match. He added that the defeat of Carpenter automatically throws into the discard the Dempsey-Carpenter match which had been scheduled for London in July of next year. SIKI ASKS $75,000 TO BOX WILLS PARIS, Sept. 28. A cool million france (about $75,000 at the present rate of exchange) is what Battling Siki, the conqueror of Georgia Carpenter, wants to go to America to fight Harry Wills at the Palo Grounces on October 18. Manager Heller called Tom R'Orourke, the American fight promoter, this evening in response to an offer of $20,000.

A CHANGE OF BASE ee Te ae en on Mae W Pittsburgh Press upon “The Apes, Future Champions * ‘The editorial says, “That portion of the public which make: & hero out of the reigning heavy weight brusser will rub its exes oF hearing the very frank Mr. Zeller say that the nearer a man 1s to an ap the more likely he is to a ring champion, We have endeavored in these columns to find some excuse for the undeniably widespread interest in -prize-fighting by treating it as a protective mstinct by means of whicl: nature prevents us from neglecting our bodies. Life has a physical basis The prize fighter represents that physical basis at its best—so we havc told our readers in our effort to defend their adnuration of the prowess of our foremost knockout experts.” But Mr. Zeller rcughly dismisses all ‘such sophistry. 7 “Years ago,” blithely says Zeller, “I decided that if an intelligent ape could be found and taught boxing, the result would be a world’s champion, Siki is the fellow. I had to go to the jungles of Africa to find him, but now I have him and he will triy all of them, The best future fighters will be dusky tribesmen trained by chasing baboons to the teec and fighting lions barehanded.” This editorial reveals the fact that the entrance of the Negro upon te pugilistic stage has changed the world’s estimate of what wa: once called “The Manly Art of Self-Defense.” No event in our school days attracted as much cttention and com- ment as the defeat of John L. Sullivan by James J. Corbett. We were spending a week in Newport, R. I., before returning to school. On the Saturday after the ght, we met a grocer and asked him where we could get @ eightsecing bus. He said, “I am delivering groceries among the 400. Jump aboard and I will take you around the city.” He was stopped on the route by half a dozen friends and asked what he thought of the fight. He delivered orders at over a score of residences on the “ocean drive. At every place butlers, footmen and coachmen, and some- times the owner, would discuss the battle pro and con. ‘Then we returned to New Haven, Conn. It was advertised that the conqueror of the redoubtable John L. would give an exhibition at tHe Hyperion, the largest and finest opera house, on a certain Tuesday ‘ivSeptember. The Hyperion was packed {rom pit to dome. ‘Thousands Ware BaTHES Sway. And Chapel street, irons College to Tigh, was one congested mass of people. And when Mr. Corbett alighted from his cab, wild shouts and cheers greeted him. ‘Ihe older residents said that only one other American citizen had received a similar ovation and that was the Honorable James G. Blaine, the plumed knight of Maine. The crowds that surged around the Hyperion to see President Theodore Roosevelt enter during the Yale Bicentennial did not exceed im size and enthusiasm the crowd that awaited the arrival of Mr. Corbett. ‘Then we recall that before John Slavin was defeated by Peter Jackson, sporting writers spoke of his fighting ancestry. After Robert \Ritzsiinmons defeated James J. Corbett, sporting writers told of his fighting Cornish ancestors.

The Jonangse wanted indemnity for the massacre of their nationals in Nikolatevak, or they refused to evacuate Sakhalin, But the Siberian and Russian delegates rightly pointed out that the Japanese military policy was directly responsible for the massa- cres and that the Siberians suffered even more lossen They said, in cffect: “No indemnity on either side. Let us forget the past and be neighborly friends, as we are. Let us renew our commercial and other relations and work for mutual good.” This was the same sound Oriental wisdom.

Abbott, Editor and Publisher, The Chicago Defender, 3428 Indiana Ave. Chicago, Ill. My Dear Mr. Abbott and Official Staff. Your weekly paper, through its news columns and different departments, has carried on constantly for the past two years propaganda in a futile attempt to discredit the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to retard its progress. I feel sure by this time you have had recollections because of this policy you adopted against this great mass organization of Negroes, because of the hostility you have aroused in the minds of thousands of your people whom you were depending on to support your paper, thousands of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the country have decided, because of this fact, that the Chicago Defender is not deserving of their support. You no doubt realize by this time that you have made a very grave mistake in opposing the largest Negro organization the world has ever known in the manner that you employed by playing up through the columns of the Defender destructive criticism and suppressing constructive achievements engineered by this great organisation. of many of which you are fully aware. It is for me to inform you that we are not afraid of criticism, ideas relating to the welfare of mankind always draw much criticism, but in some cases it is usually constructive, and that is what we have been eagerly seeking among our so-called thinkers, intellectuals and men with reasoning ability, hoping to find someone to supply that constructive criticism. But thus far we have been unable to find that caller of man or woman who could qualify along this line. Gentlemen, if you have the courage of your convictions with regard to the Garvey movement, if you are sincere with the public whom it is your duty to serve, if you really believe the prophecanda you publish against the Garvey movement and expect other people to believe, if you are fair-minded, liberal and can entertain respect for other men's opinions; if you believe that every story has two sides, every subtitle pro and con. If you are honest about your opinion on the Garvey movement, and if you are courageous men, and willing to defend and stand by your opinion and policies, I am going to test that sincerity, that honesty, that courage, that policy you have initiated and followed, by giving you the opportunity to come out like real courageous, thinking and reasoning men and discuss the Garvey movement pro and con, and leave it to public opinion, wherever assembled, acting as the bar of judgment. I therefore challenge the Chicago Defender its official staff or any representative that you may select from any part of the country, Simmons, Dickens, DuBole, Randolph or Owen not excluded, to a public debate, at any time or at any place, under any satisfactory conditions of your own choosing on this great question. Lincoln once said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." We feel that a race divided against itself cannot stand and that is why we are always willing to thrash this question out in a fair and intelligent manner. If you respect your own opinions, if you have confidence in your mentality, if you feel that you are capable of intelligent discussion, reasoning power and constructive thinking, then you must surely acknowledge that you ought to be able and willing to defend those opinions. I stand ready at any time to defend mine. The contents of your reply, or your refusal to respond, will clear up in my mind whether or not you have been attempting to hoodwink, deceive and mislead the Negro public through the columns of the Chicago Defender to satisfy some personal animosity against the personnel or some part of the personnel of the organization, or whether you were really in earnest about the policy you have been following and willing to discuss it man to man pro and con, and may the best man win. Yours very truly, J JACKSON TILFORD 1923 Fulton St, Chicago, Ill THE GREATEST ISSUE By WILLIAM WOOD The world is in the crucible, humanity is being measured by the invisible hand of justice. Loyalty, above every other requisite, is the need of the hour. Not loyalty to political parties or civil government alone, but loyalty to God and to the truth. No one can be free who is bound by the cords of error. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Christ said, Age after age this truth has been demonstrated, the dark ages were the result of the departure from truth in the third and fourth centuries after Christ. The degradation of the great heathen lands is the result of their forefathers having rejected the all-important truth that God is the creator of heaven and earth, and that in Him we live and move and have our being. In the following words the Apostle Paul graphically states the cause of heathenism. Because that when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God; neither were they thankful, but because vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image like to the corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts and creeping things. Rom. 1 21-23. Nothing so seriously menaces the stability of civilized nations, in our opinion, as the very widespread teaching of mutualism and the generally accepted doctrines of evolution. Either God is the Creator and the cause of things or there is no God. But there is a God. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. God's Memorial Down through the ages God has had a memorial of His creative power. Had the world always remembered that God is the Creator, and had man observed His memorial of creation, the Seventh day Sabbath, there never would have been an idol worshiper. In this connection the Savior said: "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man made for the Sabbath." Hateful is war, and hellish is red woe. Hateful is war, and hellish is red woe. But what true man would cherish peace in chains? Peace is not peace that doth not free- dom know. Peace is not peace unless fair just- ice prevails. in declaring to the world that the Negro must be free, and that Africa must be redeemed, we have sounded a trumpet that shall never call retreat in the struggle for the all-round freedom and emancipation of this race of ours. If a few million Irishmen, a little band of Montenegrians, a few million Serbs as well as of Greeks and others have been able to impress the world with the justice of their cause and have their government respected by the nations of the world, then how much more will 400,000,000 Negroes be able to accomplish if we stand solidly together in the cause of the Negro freedom and African redemption? Demand, compel and inspire respect and administrate for the Negro people of the world. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1922 AID TQ KITCHENER AND T. R. RED CAP AT GRAND CENTRAL Abyasinian Hero of Many Adventures Was Only Non-Mohammedan to Reach Ka'ba of Mecca "Boy, take these bags," calls the proud corset salesman, arriving at the Grand Central Terminal on the Twentieth Century. "Yes, sir," responds Red Cap No. 20, lugging his burden to a taxicab for what largest the corset salesman feels like bestowing. The salesman rides away in a glow of self-satisfaction, and No. 20 returns to the terminal concourse. But No. 20 is a vastly more interesting and considerable person than most of the travelers, haughty or noble, whose suitcases, golf bags and bird cages he carries. He is George Gabriel, native of Abysinia, interpreter to the New York Central, familiar with thirteen languages and five African dialects, body-servant to Lord Kitchener for a dozen years, member of the Roosevelt hunting party in Africa, wearer of a Bulgarian decoration, one of the few non-Mohammedans in the world who has penetrated to the Moslem Holy of Holies, the Ka'ba of Mecca, and red cap in his spare moments. Son of Lieutenant-Colonel Gabriel is a son of a lieutenant-colonel in the Abyssinian army killed in the Italian war. At fourteen he became attached to Kitchener's forces in the Soudan. When K of K. returned to England he put the boy in Mohammedan school in Cairo. It was with 75 pounds sent him from London by Kitchener that he essayed the pilgrimage to Mecca, calling himself Abdulah Mohammed, a converted Abyssinian, and passing the rigid examination in the Koran at Jidda before he was permitted to proceed. From Mecca he went to Medina, second Moslem Holy City, by camel train. There, his money gone, he walked thirty-two days across the desert to Damascus with a polygot crew of returning pilgrims. From Damascus he made his way to Jerusalem, thence back to Calio, where he returned to Kitchener's service, accompanying Kitchener over three continents as valet. Through Kitchener's influence, Gabriel was appointed an interpreter to the British embassy at Constantinople in 1900 and served there five years. In 1908 he was transferred to the British consular service and served under Consul-General W. B. Hurd at Tokio, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris, Beirut, Athena, Constantinople, Sofia and Vienna. He was with the Paris consulate in 1909 when Colonel Roosevelt advertised in a Paris paper for an African interpreter. Gabriel was lent to Colonel Roosevelt by the consulate, and with the expedition's head interpreter. He carries a scar today in the fleshy part of his right leg made by a bullet from an elephant gun fired by a member of the party. The bullet bored through a tree trunk, glanced and struck Gabriel. That was Gabrielis first, and he hopes it was his last. African hunting trip, but it was the means of his coming to America. "If you ever want to come to the United States just lock me up at Oyster Bay," the colonel told him, "and I'll find you a job." The colonel topped this off with a handsome letter testifying that Gabriel was a desirable citizen. Gabriel was in Sofia, Bulgaria, when the Balkan war 'roke out, and was lent by the British consulate to King Ferdinand and his queen as a go-between the royal pair and the wounded Turkish prisoners in the Bulgarian hospitals. For this service Ferdinand decorated Gabriel. In January, 1512, Gabriel took Roosevelt at his word and came to America to see what the only continent he had not seen was like. At Oyster Bay he was given a letter to Mr. Bryan, then secretary of state, and sent to Washington. There he was told that not being a citizen, he could not qualify as a government interpreter. Drafted Into Service Falling at Washington, the colonel got Gabriel the place as interpreter at the Grand Central, where he has been ever since, translating the woes and wants of Polish. Russian, Greek, Arabic, Turkish, Polish, Armenian, Czech, South Slav and a variety of other travelers and making himself useful to the claim department when foreign-born track employees are hurt. There was one long interval when he was missing from the station. During that time he was in uniform and acting as interpreter at Camp Upton headquarter. Gabriel really was thirty-seven years old ... 1917 when the draft went into effect. It happens that the Abyssinian calendar is eight years behind our own. Gabriel's draft board insisted on considering Gabriel's age as twenty-nine, a conclusion arrived at by subtracting the Abyssinian year of his birth from the year 1917 of the Gregorian calendar. There was only one calendar knw to the draft board, and they refused to hear of any other. Gabriel has a wife and two children in Vienna. The outbreak of war in 1914 prevented him from returning to them as early as he had intended or of sending for them. In 1910 he got nixty days' leave and returned to Vienna to visit them. Race lines being what they are in America, where all blacks are Negroes indiscriminately, he has no thought of bringing them here—New York Globe Sept. 22, 1912.

Address. Child Welfare Dept., Negro World, 56 West 135th street, New York, N. Y. Children of tender years should be always under the supervision of some responsible person; they ought not to be allowed to play with matches, scissors, knives or any sharp-pointed instruments, nor should they be allowed to take pots and pans containing hot or boiling water from the stove. Brought to our notice within the last six weeks are three children burnt through the neglect of their parents. One child was burnt with a lighted match and the other two with boiling water. Of the two children burnt with boiling water one has retained disfiguring marks which are likely to last throughout life, and for which he must always entertain a grateful (?) remembrance of his parents. It is high time that our mothers begin to appreciate the sacredness of their duty toward their children, high time that they begin to realize that upon them rests the future greatness of the great African empire to be. for it is universally conceded that health is the individual's greatest asset, and that the fit and proper time to protect such health is in infancy. BORIS BAKHMETEFF SAILS FOR AMERICA Self-Governing Peasant Communities Supplanting the Bolshevik Government in Russia PARIS, Sept 35 — Boris A. Bakhmet- eff, lately Russian ambassador at Washington, will still Wednesday for America after an extended trip of inquiry and observation which lead him to the belief that the present Bolshik Government of Russia is being slowly displaced from below by the growth of self-governing peasant communities. "The peasant populations of the old communities and "volost" of Russia," said M. Bakhmetsev, "have succeeded in establishing self-dependent governments, using the local Slovakia, but transforming them into what approaches local Zemetovs. These peasant groupings have populations of from five to fifty thousand, with the local administration in the central village (colosti) composed usually of the well-to-do, mature and more capable peasants, who are chosen for the committee by some sort of election. These committees administer justice, do the policing and take care of all local functions. "These local rudimentary governments have sprung up by huddles all over Russia. They are an evolution from below. They are not what one could call a revolutionary opposition to Moscow, but they are really independent of Moscow. The Communist Commissaries have been pushed out and forced to leave The central authorities are practically powerless to combat this growth. Collectors sout out by the bovisits to take the taxes in kind often do not return. Something happens to them. They simply disappear it is impossible to send troops against these formations. These local authorities are not in 'open' rebellion to the Soviet regime. Moreover, those communities are so numerous that the central authorities would have to maintain garrisons or 'conquer' the whole of the land. Lenin has long since realized this new and unconquerable foe of Communism - the peasant "All the so-called 'new policy' has been an attempt to win the peasant. It has not worked. The peasant distrusts the Bolshevik official and will not co-operate. The peasant has grimly intrenched himself, leaving the central power to shrink and die. The sources of the central power are consequently drying up month by month The Left or Extreme Wing is again in control in Moscow. But there is a violent feud between the factions within in the party itself." In the year of 1883 I was attacked by Muscular and subcutaneous tumour. my sister was only then that we all afflicted know for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as obtained was only temporary. Finally I found a treatment that cured me completely and such a puffish condition has never regretted. I have kept it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even hidd-ridd, some of them seventy to eighty old, and the results were the same as in my own case.

RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 20 (Special Correspondence) — The bellicose attitude of the Negro vote in this State has brought to life a sincere disposition to give serious study to the actual political position which the Negro holds at the present time in American life. It will be remembered that whatever chances the Republicans had to elect their candidate in last year's contest for Governor of the State were killed by the action of the colored voters when they put into the field their own race candidate for the honora. This action frightened the wavering white vote that had all but jumped over into the Republican band wagon on the protective tariff issue, and as a result the old-time Democratic majorities were piled up for that ticket, moth to the chagrin of that element of Republicans in the North who have been holding to the dream of breaking the solid South. "Balance of power," threatening, imminent and actual, is the new "bogies" and possibly the last straw upon which the "Negro domination" fear of the South feels obliged to cling to. Added to this is the fact that the Negro is beginning "to feel his oats"—whatever that might mean. Perhaps this can be understood best by keeping in mind that the Negroes in Virginia paid the expenses of their contesting delegates to the 1920 convention at Chicago Coupling this bit of political history with the information that they financed and conducted their own campaign in the governorship fight one can get a pretty fair idea why the political power of the Negro is fast becoming a matter of somewhat serious concern. There is no question of doubt that the Virginia Negro is "mad" all over. His wealth is increasing by leaps and bounds. This new possession is giving him a fine sense of social and political responsibility. He is beginning to determine the importance of matters in his own fashion and after his own manner of thinking. "Uncle Tom" is dead as four door nails. It is being recognized by even the bolder and more radical elements among the Negroes in this State that the finished product of Negro citizenship is not wholly here at the present time. "But he is far advanced in the making." They assert "We don't want social intimacy. What we are after is social independence, political equality, economic quality, and by all that's fair or foul, finally we are going to have all of these things." It must be agreed that this is big stuff. But let us turn back to the 'balance of power' question. Figures have been published recently which may shed some bright light on this phase of the situation. They relate entirely to the Northern States, and are as follows: State | Negro population | Party polarity, normal election Mississaugetta | 45 666 | 20,899 New York | 198 483 | 200,000 New Jersey | 117,182 | 67,000 Pennsylvania | 284 563 | 180,000 Ohio | 186,187 | 60,000 Indiana | 80,810 | 30,000 Illinois | 182,274 | 200,000 Michigan | 60,082 | 60,000 Iowa | 19,005 | 65,000 Missouri | 178,241 | 35,000 Nebraska | 13,242 | 40,000 Kansas | 57,025 | 25,000 Oklahoma | 140 408 | 50,000 Delaware | 30,523 | 8,000 Connecticut | 21,040 | 7,000 HOWARD AND LINCOLN UNIVERSITIES REVISE BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS FOR ATHLETIC EVENTS WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 19. Howard University, Washington, D. C., and Lincoln University, Lincoln University, Pa. have revised their business arrangements for athletic events, placing them on the same basis as the larger universities of the country; that in the department of physical education of each school shares in the net proceeds from the games played between them each year. The old basis whereby the visiting team secured only its expenses has been revised so that hereafter the entertaining school shall receive 60 per cent. and the visiting school 40 per cent. This new understanding and arrangement goes into effect this year. A Program of Advisory Relationship At the last meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University a program of advisory relationship was worked out.

CARTER Text—1st Cor. Xi:1. "I praise you." In the realm of morals, to us Paul is an infallible teacher. In this instance he teaches by his example—ever a powerful precept. And seeing he praised these variegated and imperfect Corinthians, he thereby inculcates the duty of praising people. What is praise? There is all the difference in the world between praise and flattery. The two are often confounded, and when we speak a word of praise it is very usual for a person to round upon us and say with kindly salute, "New you are flattering me." No; praise and flattery are distinct and different as light and darkness. Praise is commendation of character, the expressed approval of conduct. Flattery is false or inincere praise. Flattery is essentially a lie; it is poisoned honey. The Bible utterts terrible denunciations against flattery. One of the most awful sayings the Psalmist ever uttered was this: "The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips." Oh, the fearsome excision! Yet the Book, which waxes fierce against flattery, enjoins praise, and in this text Paul's voice rings out like a clarion in the gildedened care of the Corinthian church. "Now I praise you." I say naught of praising God now. It is an intulgence of godly souls. But we are strangely forgetful that to praise men is a duty. How the scripture illustrates this! The Bible is the book of praises. No sacred or secular literature ever took so praiseful an attitude toward humanity. The book penned to exalt God also exalt man. Our religion is the religion of humanity. Never was there so lofty an estimate of man as we have here. Let those who say they desire a religion which makes much of humanity ponder the word of God. It is that word which bids us "honor all men." Oh, marvelous inclusiveness! The dignity of universal man is magnified in the volume which holds the revelation of God. God is ever praising man in this inspired history of humanity; now by direct message now through human lips. It is right refreshing to realize that all through the Bible the great Father by His own example exemplifies the duty of praising people. Christ loved to praise. He commended all who were in any degree commendable. When His slow-witted disciples grazed a truth, He revealed in the achivement. His "Blessed art thou, Simon," rang upon Peter when he seized the conception of Christ's daity. He declared that at last He will say "Well done" to all who have done well. I am impressed also, with what may be termed the negative aspect of our Lord's praisefulness. Did He not say, "The Son of Man came not to condemn the world?" Condemnation is ever antithetic to salvation. Did the Saviour not say to the poor stained lily, brushed and bowed with a pillilless storm of criticism, "Neither do I condemn them!" As assuredly Christ's example reinforces the duty of praising people. Paul—surely the grandest of more man—illustrates this same duty. He rarely ever loses an opportunity of praising; search and see if the whole Bible is not redolent of the appreciation of humanity. It faithfully probes our sin but it dults to commend the things of man that are excellent. Conscience sanctions the duty of praising people. More and more one idea that in conscience is the great final proof of the inspiration of the Bible. Conscience confirms the presents of scripture. Scripture and conscience call to one another as "deep into deep." Now conscience urges that excellence should be commended. Conscience approves praise. Conscience does not side with Epictetus when he says, "We should not praise any one." It confirms Paul when he cries, "I praise you." Surely even this supernatural survey convinces us of the duty of praising people. But let us still examine this duty. It glorifies God. Whenever we赦redit good we accredit God. All light comes from the sun, so all heat, so all vital energy. Now when we acknowledge these, we acknowledge the sun. Exactly the same way, when we praise spiritual light and warmth and energy, we praise the Son behind the sun, from which radiant source these elements shine forth. What if some of us have kept back honor from God by restraining our praise of the noble qualities of our fellows? What if we have taken rubbish God? What if in this sense the sweet singer's words be free? Whose growth praise glorifies God? Whose good people, and you in effect God. 6 MAGAZINE PAGE can win men. Cultivate the habit of praising people and your appreciation of man will increase. Believing in original sin, you will see in all men some inworking of original grace. He believes in man who praises. Praise of others discourages self-hood. It is a life's work to eradicate self Sam Rutherford in his deathless letters describes self as the house devil." Theresin he speaks for us all. Oh, what a world of self many of us live in! We are immured in self "Oh, hide this self from me" is our perpetual cry. Now, nothing kills self like praising others. The more you live in others, the more self shrivels and dies. Delight in the goodness of those around you, and your own goodness will not absorb your vision. Lot us not ignore the duty of praising people 2. Praise is a difficult duty Who can tell what it had cost Paul to attain power to say, "I praise you!" Mayhap it represents a battle fought and victory won. It is strangely said that what ought to be difficult is often easy to us and what ought to be easy is difficult. One thinks it should not be hard to say I praise you. But, alas! it is. Praise is especially difficult to some natures. The self-centered finds it all but impossible. The jealous cannot praise. The unsympathetic find it peculiarly difficult to praise. We know men when we feel with them. Smetham remarks in one of his letters, "Pure love to every soul of man is the true standpoint from which to judge men." The narrow-minded seidom praise. More on this anon. 3. Praise is a much neglected duty We should have it in the home. Are not husbands and wives careless of it? We usually do all our praising when courting, and when married praising is proceeded by scolding and nagging Those who serve us in the home should be commended also. In the office or in the shops, praise should be forthcoming to those who merit it It is contagious. Society needs us more praise. 4. Praise is a duty which requires discrimination. Like all other duties it should not be excessive, nor should it exclude faithfulness. Then, too, we should not praise one so as to arouse envy in another. And last, but not least, praise should not be given for the sake of popularity. 5. Finally, praise is a duty which tests character. You test yourself when you praise people. In what spirit do you praise? Will the motive bear scrutiny? What is the object to which your praise is directed? There is much misdirected praise. We find abundant instances of this in the scripture. We are told of those who offered praise to "graven images" and again to "gods." They that forake the law praise the wicked. Prov. 28:4. How many do that today? All around us men are giving praises in a misdirected manner. The objects we praise reveal ourselves to ourselves and others. We test our character thereby. You test the receiver of your praise when you anlogize him. How does he take it? It puffs up a shallow nature. It creates a thirst for more in self-loving natures until they come to love the praise of men more than the praise of God. But praise humbles a true soul. Now we can all judge ourselves by this test. How do we receive praise? A very remarkable word is that proverb of Solomon: "As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold, so is a man to his praise." Verily praise is a furnace which tests a man's character. Be it curs to say, "I praise you," often as we may! But let us be solicitous to give God the glory for all the praises we receive. Take all those flowers and wreathe them around Calvary's Cross. When the lauding voices ring in upon you most loudly lift up deprecatory hands to Heaven and cry, "Not unto us, O Lord! not unto us, but unto Thy name be the glory." Praise God from whom all blessings flow. AT THE MASKED BALL She was a beauty in her mask and costume. Her shapely contour, her agile carriage, lent grace to her make-up. Her deep, resonant but exceedingly mild voice—a voice heated by the rush of Africa and tempered by the bleak tone of these United States of America—would have wooed and charmed anyone. She would have made Ponce de Leon exclaim "Twe found it!" She waltzed and waltzed like the whiff of a sephyr—"er, yes, her Afro-American, Negro American, colored American (pick your choice) partner was just delighted with her. Anyone would have been, after peeping through a mask on those dreamy, amorous eyes of hers—eyes that pierced, eyes that draw, eyes that seemed to say, that they looked into her partner's, "I am virtuous itself." The walls were thirteen. The ball was on oven. They had excited to go home. She had removed her mask. "Horrors! third breath! I thought I was dancing with and would have been escorting hands a high-palkhla!" But she was breath. And wouldn't it show below on the part of Alp-America, colored Amurica, Negro Amurica, (now your shades), and if they tortured of hearing silly shibbons about children, well, and intelligence and brain in women, whether they be THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1922 By MARION B. LAKEY I know a simple farmer boy Who has a wondrous count of joy; So you'd think if once you met him. For there's nothing that can fret him, Or, if the same you hap to do. It will not last five minutes through Before that cheerful grin is back Upon the face of Cheerful Jack If Jack chanced to stump his toe. Loud and quick could he bellow. But when had somewhat ceased the pain. You saw Jack's features grin again. And you would marvel how he spoke Of the whole thing just as a joke. When your humor he compelled. Recalling how profound he yelled! And if Jack had lost some money, You would hardly think it funny That he should lose his anxious frown Grinning like a circus clown Saying it was a lesson taught In the way of sage forethought Nove, again to don his pants Without seeing in advance To when he put his money in them. Pockets needed thread to mend 'em Now, if Jack was very sad. You would likely see the lad Sitting bowed as one might be When life is awful rough. But he Not for long, sir, thus you'd see. He would whistle or would sing. And there was meaning in the thing. For his music had a touch From what had troubled him so much Soon hed sung away the pain And Jack was Cheerful Jack again I could tell you many more Ways how Cheerful Jack he bore Troubles that in many would Cause many a fluffy angry mood Cheerful Jack to me, you see is a boy of prodigy. I would never date to suy I could fully ape his way And thus having said I may Introduce my moral thus It were the better thing for us If we would keep a bit the knock Of the way of Cheerful Jack. Not to try it through and through For that no one but Jack could do. Brave our troubles as they come. Making short our spell of gloom For, as caro makes for delay. The sooner we drive it away Achieving has a briefer sta THE OLD HOMESTEAD I visited today the old Homestead. Desorted now for many busy years. Explored again with memory laden tread. The birthplace of so many hopes and fears. The windlass seemed to crack doleful tune. The mocking birds that used to sing so gay Seem all forgetful of the month of June. The time to sing their merriest roundelay The meadow that to childish ees did seem To stretch into the distance mile on mile. Is but a glen and now the raging stream. Is just a little brook that tries to smile. The brier vines are trailing o'er the ground. The old red barn will never look the same. And nothing seemed familiar till I found The maple bough whereon I carved my name. It used to stretch far out before the doors. Where through its leaves the sun-beams used to play And make a dappled shadow on the floor. Of porches fallen now into decay And down my time scarred check there crept a tear. For those who sleep beneath the ocdon's foam. And then a sigh for other hearts as dear. That rust so gently 'neath the sand of home. —AUGUSTA SAVAGE SPEED AWAY In honor of our Excellency, Honorable Marcus Garvey, and our third convention, and to the Negro heroes of the world. Speed away on your mission of light to the lands That are lying in darkness and night, 'tis the Master's command; go ye forth in his name, take Your lives in your hands to the work while 'tis day. Speed away, my brothers and sisters, to give life to The nation oppressed in the light; take the wings of The morning and fly o'er the waves, in the strength Of your Master the lost ones to save. Speed away with the message of rest to the souls By the tempter in bondage oppressed, for the Saviour has purchased their ransom from sin and The banquet is ready. Oh, gather them in to their Razes make haste; there's no time for delay. MRS. AGNES ISAACS. Ex-Lady President, Santo Domingo City.

A COMMUNITY OF ENTERPRISING NEGROES On Wednesday morning, September 13, the editor of the California Volunteer Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. W. D. Jones of Berkeley and Master Conwell Hubbard left for the South to spend our vacation and take a much needed rest. Our first stop was at Oakdale, upon business. After leaving Oakdale our next stop was at Modesta at the hospital home of Mrs. Penman, where we were given refreshments, and after a much needed rest we continued our journey south to Fresno, where we were entertained at the residence of Rew Ayers, who was engaged in remodeling his home that was destroyed by fire a few weeks before Leaving Freno Thursday morning we arrived at Allensworth Thursday afternoon, where we received a real welcome by a community of enterprising Negroes who believe in their own possibilities. Allensworth is a promising community. We were not by Allensworth a pioneer business man. Mr J W Singleton who is president of the Chamber of Commerce of this enterprising city with untold intentions. While it was not our intention to spend the evening in Allensworth, the president would not think of our leaving. So we spent one of the most pleasant as well as profitable evenings of our trip. The wonderful spirit of cooperation was shown by the way the citizens were called together in the evening at the schoolhouse, where the Volunteer editor addressed them. It was indeed an inspiration to talk to the men and women who were selling them, on the alter of a barricade in order that the race might demonstrate its own ability to build own and control own city and community. Allensworth can proudly host the only Negro Judge on the State Judge Human a successful business man, occupies this position. The pastor of the A. M. K. Church was present to bid us welcome to the city. Among our friends who spared no pain to make us feel at home was our own J. A Hacket who is doing some of the big things in Allensworth. Soil and Climate Ideal The splendid crops produced in Allemaworth shows that the soil which in productiveness Darrying is being developed to a high state of perfection Chicken raising is being carried on with a deal of success. And after our meeting we were treated to a midnight supper by our old friend and former townman R D Mattox, and wife Mrs Cowe formerly of Oakland, but now of Allemaworth is post matroas at two enterprise little city And has just completed one of the protest little pastufcices to be found in the State for any city of its size Friday morning we enjoyed some of the delicious watermelons raised by Mr J. A Hustell Breakfast at the home of Mr and Mrs I Person water every effort was made to make us feel at home which we certainly did Water is to be had in plenty in Allemaworth consequently crops are good Space will not permit at this time in extended report, but at some time in the near future we shall have more to say about this most interesting community Business Outlook One of the truly big things being done by this bushing little city is the organization of the Allenworth O. Syndicate. This syndicate holds a lease on 160 acres of land enough for fifty wells. They have a deer k and most of the drilling equipment on the ground. It speaks volumes for the future prospect of this community farming lands and city lots can be had now at reasonable rates, but when oil is struck Allenworth will be made over night, my advice would be for members of our group to get in now. We left much as we regretted to do so Thursday morning for Bakersfield. We were entertained at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Simpson corner Eleventh and N streets, our stay was one continual round of pleasure, visiting a few of our friends and calling upon Mr. Winters, Bakersfield's foremost business man, who is planning a trip to Oakland. We left Saturday morning for Los Angeles and Redondo Beach. Our trip over the mountains was made without a single mishap, having motored more than 600 miles without a puncture. We reached Los Angeles Saturday afternoon and stopped at the home of Mr Warren Woods, 1400 West Thirty-fifth street where every effort was made to make our stay pleasant. Mr Woods having known the editor from boyhood, spared no pain in making his stay pleasant Sunday we visited the Independent Church, Roy Greggs pastor. We shall have more to say about this wonderful church organization in our next issue. Sunday afternoon we spent in sightseeing the many points of interest in it and around the Angel City — The California Voice, Oakland, Cal.

C., Sept. 27.—Heskiah Brooks, Negro gardener and fruit grower of Miami, Fla., recently announced the successful conclusion of his attempts to produce a new variety of mango. It is claimed that the result is destined to fill a gap in the fruit calendar of the southern section of the country. This is due to the fact as claimed by Brooks that the fruit rips between November and January, a period during which the mango is not to be found in that market. The Brooks Mango is similar to the Mulgoa in appearance and texture, but is declared to be superior to that variety in flavor. Some experts pronounce it a cross of the Mulgoa and Sundazah. Some of the new mangoes have been presented to eminent authorities or horticulture, and some have been sent to the Department of Agriculture at Washington. TRAPPED In a large manufacturing plant located in a mid-Western city, which employed between $80 and 1,000 men of various races, including 75 Negroes as laborers and porters, a robbery was committed one night after closing hours, and the robbers got away with $50,000 in small bills which had been set aside by the company to pay off its employees on the following day. In the main office of the company were two French clerks, Alphonse Dandet and Theodule Ladlaguay. The former was a bookkeeper and the latter cashier, whose salaries were $88 and $125 weekly. The Negro porter, Jordan Williams, who was physically the hardest worked man in this department, received the magnificent wage of $18 per week. On the night of the robbery, Jordan Williams, having done all the odd chores about the office, came into the private office where the big steel safe was located and found the bookkeeper and cashier, with their coats off, poring over the books and casting up long columns of figures. The outlook for Jordan to get away early did not seem promising, so he said to the bookkeeper "How long are you going to be here, Mr Dandet?" Oh, we shall be here quite some time, Williams." was the reply. "If you wish to go, you may. We'll lock up and turn the keys over to the watchman when we leave." Then in French to his fellow clerk he said: "He has finished his work and we will let him go, so that we may finish ours." "You may go, Williams." Williams said, "Thank you. Good night," and left the office. The next morning Williams arrived a little earlier than usual in order to clean up that part of the office where these clerks worked the night before. At 9 a.m they both arrived, looking fresh and chipper, and chatted in French for some moments before starting to work on their books. Shortly afterward they both left the office and repaired to the washroom downstairs. William, unknown to either of them, had preceded them there by twenty minutes, and was quietly smoking his brisk pipe in the little porter's room in a corner of the washroom. The Frenchmen came in chatting gaily, and one of them (the book-keeper) said in French. "Are we quite alone here?" and, to assure himself that they were, he looked under the doors of the closets, all of which were empty). Then, again addressing his colleague in French, he said: "It was fortunate for us, Theodule, that we got rid of that darky so easily last night. I was afraid he was going to insist on remaining to lock up the office. His going gave us the opportunity we have long wanted, and now we have the money. You must not show the slightest agitation when the discovery is made. "You will, of course, make it yourself, being cashier, and go quietly to the president and tell him of the loss." But, answered the cashier, "the safe POISE By LEONARD I. BRATHWAITE There is the individual who, when one approaches Tries to seem dignified, owlish, cultured and learned And when one gets close to him, if his head he turned. He a sure to seem sparsed, then contracts and gives a smile. As if he were a Colossus and one looked up at him awhile. There is the individual who is so much nerved and poised That he's completely lost to the world around him—be it ever so noised. When one gets close, and, to him, tries to speak About things, sundry, the weather and life. He gives a sharp grunt, and away would sneak. As if one was devoted to curiosity, malice, hatred and strife. There is the individual of all whom I detect The individual who insists on being a pest— Keeping his "poise"—when all around / him There are mirth, happiness, laughter and noise He is blind and deaf to the cuddling and wooing of lovers— It may be that he thinks his are the more serious things of life. And the only two who, peradventure, understand him Are himself and his Maker, or himself and his wife: If this individual to the apice of life is dead, What are the uses of his eyes and ears and head? POISE Police is just another word for simplicity; with the coming of civilisation and its eccentricities, along with its good, one must "appear poised" to "seem" unaffected. Many a man in the army of life thinks himself a general when, in fact, he's only a private. There is many a one who thinks his or her education is an oak when it's just an acorn; probably it would be a stalwart oak, but the chances are his or her ego will stunt it and trample on it. has not been forced. The lock has not been tampered with. They will say it is an inside job; that some one of us familiar with the office has robbed the safe." The porter has here early this morning," said the other, "the suspicion will fall on him. They will reason that as he has come here before any of the white office force, he tried the safe as he usually does, found it open, saw the money and stole it and that he had simple time to hide it securely." They were about to speak again when the door opened and another clerk, an American, entered the room. The two Frenchmen withdrew to a window and spoke to each other in English and said a few words to the newcomer. Jordan Williams then emerged from the porter's room, and going over to the window where the Frenchmen were still standing and smoking cigarettes said to them in perfectly good French, to the amazement of the three white men "Gentlemen, from what I have heard this morning, you have robbed the safe upstairs in the office and have selected me to be the goat. I don't propose to be the goat, for I am going straight to the president and expose both of you and you are going with me. You are trapped. I learned to speak French in France during the World War when I was a soldier. Then turning to the American, he explained what he said to these men and told him all the circumstances. Then they each grabbed a Johnny Grapeau and led them upstairs to the office of the president, where the climax story from the beginning to the climax was repeated by Jordan Williams to the president and some of the directors of the company who were in his office. The company's detectives were called in and informed that a robbery had been committed and that the robbers had confessed (in French) their guilt. A hasty examination of the safe was made and it was found that the two rolls of bills were missing. The detectives took the men to their rooms and made a search and found the money wrapped in a newspaper at the bottom of the bookkeeper's trunk, and took possession of it. The robbery were then taken to the police station and charged with robbery and were afterward indicted, tried and convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for twenty years each. For this cleverness in averting the successful consummation of this plot the company gave Jordan Williams a raise of seven dollars per week, which brought his salary up to $25 per week, and everybody said Jordan was a lucky man-perhaps. 2 4 Marcus Garvey is one of the harshest and toughest nuts the Shuffle-Inners ever attempted to crack.

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISION AN OPEN LETTER TO THE DAILY GLEANER, OF JAMAICA, B. W. I.—A VINDICATION OF THE U. N. I. A. Look Out for the Appearance of the Greatest Negro Monthly Magazine "The Blackman" Edited by Marcus Garvey, Sir William Ferris, Sir John E. Bruce and Others Published by the African Communities' Leauge for the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Interest of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the World ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE MADE LATER GIVING A DEFINITE DATE FOR THE APPEARANCE OF THE FIRST ISSUE PRICE—25 CENTS PER COPY SUBSCRIPTION—$3.00 PER YEAR; ORDER NOW Agents Wanted All Over the World ADDRESS Manager "THE BLACKMAN" 56 West 135th Street NEW YORK CITY, U. S. A. Sept. 11. 1922 The Editor The Daily Gleaner Alr. In your issue dated June 9, 1922, under the caption "Strong Faith," you again endowed, as you usually do, without avail, to sweep out Garvey and Garveyism from our minds. You stated two captious reasons why no attention should be paid to the Universal Negro Improvement Association or "Back to African Movement," a term originating from its critics. Your first reason, according to your statement, is: "First, we have a desire to prevent our people from contributing their hard-earned money to any scheme which will only fall because no attempt will be made to carry it out. We do not want to see our Jamaican folks contributing out of their scanty earnings to the furtherance of a will of the wisp and fantastical notion." To speak candidly, I must say I could scarcely believe my eyes when I read those words as coming from you, and I was tempted to ask myself the question. Is it really the editor of the Gleaner championing the cause of hard working Jamaicans? Bravo Mr. Lutier. The U.N. A and Black to Africa Movement has assumed so much power that it has been able to wrought such a change over one as mighty as you. I am sure it had no such direct intentions. Therefore, I say unhastingly that the U.N. A has made you realize the fact that the members of your race labor here under very trying conditions and for meager wages. And I suppose an editor of the only organ owned by the whites and so-called white employers in the country it is your duty to step forward in their defense against your race in an effort to prevent them contributing to any institution or organization that may finally prove detrimental to your loosers. The class you write for today thought the same of Christianity, so much so they executed its leader, Jesus Christ, and persecuted It's followers with the hope of its extinction, but instead of that what do we see? Christianity a power in the thought and life of a third of the human family today, after the execution of its leader 1,000 years ago. I have watched your editorials from time to time with the keenest interest, and as many of us I find you a dupe of white autocracy. You generally write in aversion to the things that affect all people, especially those under our dear flag of justice to "black humanity," the Union Jack. You hate the idea of Ireland lighting for freedom, India's and Egypt's, and the Egyptians followed you Egypt would not be an independent country today. And now we find you terribly against your own race's right to organize with the hope of freeing themselves a one day, politically and nationally. When it comes to our affairs at home we find you a bitter foe, always keeping up your reputation to the hilt. In your next reason you went on to say "That we are Jamaicans and we have already a country of our own, which is an indisputable fact, and which is our only true home." Now let that be a force? What fine words to take cover under, oh? but there is no permanent security for humanity, you will one day have to get from behind those words and retreat before the L N I A Jamaica belongs to Jamaicans, according to you, and it is only recently we would be allowed to manage the Surveyor general's office. Why? Because the gentlemen in question is a Jamaican Jamaica belongs to Jamaicans, and why, when individuals are sent out here, I believe from England, I cannot we refuse them whether we think them eligible or not* If Jamaica belongs to us the Director of the Railway would not be here, the Attorney General would not be here at £1,500 per annum, and not even capable of making a respectable law. Now here's where the scanty earnings of our folks are being contributed in vain. We prefer a "fantastic notion" to no notion at all If Jamaica belongs to us, as you say, we would have another kind of Colonial Secretary to assist the legislation of necessary laws to the betterment of the black masses of our people. Fancy in our only true home without a house of assembly of our own, not even a political party represents us, as we have a thing called "Privy Council," where no black man is allowed. You know as well as all honest minded intelligent Jamaicans do that the government here is sent from England in representation of Downing street or British Interest at any cost, even lives in so much they send on to them from time to time English regiments for their protection should we rebel against their ruling. If Jamaica belongs to us the I. A G Smiths would be our governors. We have not even one black inspector of police. Think of it. You know too well we are only termed as natives, and when the white English gentleman terms us thus you know what he means all right. Now it is so strange Mr Garvey has not said one word more in relation to the U N. I A than he has said here during his last stay in Jamaica. It was so near to you we were looking for a contest between you both. We sighed for it, we wished for it, and yet you never said one word, and now that he is not here you know the ins and outs of the association, what a coward you are. Our so called government has never done anything of appreciation for us to point to, and all intelligent Negroes think it an impossible feat on their part to do anything for us, owing to their obligation to Downing street. Furthermore, it seems so unnatural, as they are not from us, by us, nor for us. In view of the foregoing, you will see it is impossible for you to stop Negroes from contributing to the "Back to Africa Movement" You may be able to stop a few who believe implicitly in you, and if you were even to succeed in stopping all Jamaica you would never be able to stop the millions outside of this island. The racial pride of the Negro has awakened his yearning for nationhood, is insatiable, and nothing that you or any other can suggest will prevent him from realizing that Africa is his by divine right. If you study anthropology you will find that Africa will be the land of the Africans, and it is only right that he should be prepared, so that when the time is ripe for Africans abroad to resume their rightful heritage they are prepared and there will be no bungling. "Nature has her hour of revenge for everyone who sacrifices humanity to his ambitions, whether he wears the crown of the tyrant or the thira of the saint." Thanking you for your valuable space, I am. SIR L. A. GOODEN. Kingston, Jamakit. THE YONKERS, N. Y., U. N. J. A. GIVES EXCURSION The president and members of the U N. I. A., 647th Division, of Yonkers, gave an excursion Thursday, September 21, 1922, up the beautiful Hudson to Bear Mountain on the steamer Comet. The boat left the pier at 11:30 a.m. and returned at 8 p. m. It was a grand success. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922 BACK TO AFRICA MOVEMENT; WHY A WRITER BELIEVES IN IT To the Editor the Jamaica Gleaner: Sir—My letter which appeared in the Gleaner of the 5th inst., dealing with the "Back to Africa Movement," was in part criticized in your editorial of the 5th as will be observed from the following extracts in quotations. (1) "We do not regard that movement seriously." The editor will be reminded that when it was told the people of the Old World that there should be a great flood they certainly did not take it seriously, but the flood did come, and even so, will it be with the Back to Africa Movement, for God hath spoken it. (2) "It will never get farther than where it is at present." The Universal Negro Improvement Association, though criticized, ridiculed; baffled in its movements, has in less than five years, reached the ends of the earth. Its ambassadors have left for Switzerland to take their place among the heads of nations with a view to assist in solving problems for world readjustment, and to bring about the betterment of both little and big Negroes. (3) "Not a movement at all, but a mere idea." When one of the ships of the Black Star Line came into this port Rev. Ernest Price considered it was not a ship in reality. Luckily our President-General was in Jamaica and an invitation was extended to him to go down to the wharf, but he did not go. There were millions of souls in the land of Egypt who had the "Back to Canaan Movement" at heart, and it was not a mere idea; it was a reality. The God of Israel is also the God of Ethiopia. (4) "It has no foundation in reality" Now, Mr. Editor, you have made the word of God of no effect. Please read a little of the Scripture each night before retiring (5) "The men that till the soil, that live on the land, are in a very true sense the owners of a country" Our men can no longer be fooled. They know better than that. Our fathers before us had been tilling the soil, and what did they get?—Blogging. (6) "Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands spiritually" Ethiopia has done this already and what she is now doing is stretching out her hands economically, commercially and politically. Sir, it will be a day of rejoicing for the Negroes when the arms of their enemies are broken. They that hate the Negroes have put on themselves the air of demigods, walking the pavements of this world, sweeping into the gutter the negroes because they have no right to exist, and as though God had not made of one blood all nations of men to dwell here. They think the roads are made for them alone, and anybody who impedes the action of their cars is knocked down. But the day is dawning and the old spirit of the Negro is still alive. I am, etc. A. SAMUEL BURTON. Kingston, Jamaica. Jamaica Glaner. THE DAILY GLEANER AND THE U. N. I. A. Sir William Ferris, M. A. K. C. O. N., Literary Editor The Negro World: In this I am endeavoring to draw your attention to the unfairness of publication this side of the world. I suppose you are aware that Jamaica possesses one single organ and, unfortunately, a Negro editor similar in character to that of Glickeren, DuBois and Randolph, an enemy of Negro freedom. Besides that the organ is owned by the whites and so-called white employers. You can imagine our position. Enclosed you will find an editorial clipping on Garverism. Also my reply, which he has practically refused to publish, likewise another clipping with some brief quotations which he thought best to publish from my reply to his editorial enclosed. The cruelness about it is, if it was anything malignant to the U. N. I. A. and necessitated a whole page it would have been published. That's just what happens all the time here and by him. I only wish, Sir, you could find it possible to publish the reply sent herewith in The Negro World, so that the interested public may get the full text of my letter. He seems to have followed up the convention with the keenest interest, as he wrote nearly every day about Garvey, Garveyism, and the convention during last month. In closing I wish you every success in your congressional campaign, and not only that, but through all your campaigns in life. God will bless you, for we love you. I have the honor to be. Sir, yours respectfully and obedient. LOUIS A. COODEN. The Renown Grocery Store, 50 Beacon street, Kingston, Jamaica. PROF. J. J. ADAM, THE DELEGATE TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, IS PRESIDENT OF SAN 56 West 125th St. New York: Dear sir:- In the last issue of the Negro World I noticed an error to the effect that Prof. J. J. Adam was the delegate from Los Angeles, California. Kindly correct that statement. Prof. J. J. Adam is the president of the San Francisco, Cal. Division, not Los Angeles. We are very proud of our worthy president and do not want that error to stand. Very truly yours. LOUISE BROWN. General Secretary No. 145. San Francisco Division. 1819 Ells St. San Francisco, Cal. THE HARVEST FESTIVAL IN OLD HARBOUR COSTA RICA, A UNIQUE EVENT Today being Harvest Festival here our Liberty Hall presents a unique appearance, dressed in flowers, sylvan and tame; bouquets, natural and artificial, paper chains, the device of one of our truestees. Mrs. L. L. Houmell Thompson, representing the African colors preparatory of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. and also of Costa Rica, seemed to meet and kiss each other while these two nation's flags stood smiling at each other in front of the entrance to Liberty Hall, which looked like a bridal rather than a legislative hall. It was found to be only the loyal members of old Harbour Division No. 99, of the U. N. I. A., donating something to their dearest cause, the cause of the 400,000,000 Negroes espoused by the Hon. Marus Garvey. At an earlier hour than is usual the president, Mr. E. N. Francis, took his seat and the gay throng began pouring in from various quarters. At the sound of the gavel officers moved to their respective seats, and the day's meeting began in the usual way The chaplain gave out Hymn No. 309, and read the 112th Psalm. He made some very touching appeals for unity, and exhorted the assembly to sincerity and thereby assist our honorable leader to put the work over. This was followed by a song by the choir. The president then ordered the reading of the minutes, which were accepted and confirmed. Two letters from the parent body and two from our deputy to the convention, Mr. Charles H. Bryant, were received and reported satisfactory. The president then gave his opening address, taking as his subject the "Parable of the Sower" from the Gospel of St. Mark, Chapter IV, third to the ninth verse. The analyzing of his discourse showed that he is fairly conversant with the ethnical status of the opposite race, and an optimist in the future of the Negroes The Associate Secretary, Mrs. Ethel Lewis, then gave the names of the donors and contributors for the lunch of the 21st inst., followed by a song by the choir. Next a poem by Master Timothy Machone, "The Voice of Marcus Curvey," a ritation by Master Romulus Camaron, a song by the choir were all rendered in fine style and brought us to the financial part of the business, the collection which was taken up while the choir was dispensing sweet music. The First Vice-President, Mr. Ford-land Patterson, gave a lively and very instructive address, followed by the choir. During the proceedings the President spoke at intervals, exhorting, encouraging, and commending, but never deploring his hearers. Our worthy Treasurer, Mr. J. M. Hunter, was the last speaker. He recited some of the most interesting extracts from the President-General's speech in Liberty Hall to the parent body, and emphasized the fact that he is the only one who merits the name of "Negro Leader." for he is the only one that can lead Negroes. After this we adjourned for supper and met again at 7.30 p. m. The chaplain led us in prayer, which was very touching and well-timed. The President called the meeting to order and delivered his usual thrilling address. The house at this hour looked more charming. The flowers around the walls were like the laburnum dropping gold, white gay ladies, spangling with jewels from every bench, challenged the fairest of Caucasian dames. The speakers for the evening were Miss Adel T. Cook, the treasurer, Mr. J. M. Hunter; First and Second-Vice-President, Messra. Frank Henry and J. Forbes, each appearing to be striving for the mastery in oratory. It was not an easy task to decide who carried off the prize. Miss Josephine Headley, secretary of the Ladies' Division, brought this part of the day's innings to a close with a well-rendered solo, and business began. The appointment of the various individuals who were to take part in preparing the luncheon for the 21st inst. took place at noon. All came off O. K. and we dismissed in the usual way, everybody feeling jubilant. Thursday, August 31.—Today being the last day of the Third International Convention, Old Harbour was in a gleesome mood. At 1 o'clock a silent p-ride started from the Liberty Hall. This gaudy procession moved eastward, stopping to pay a tribute of respect to our principal trustee, Mrs. Ellen M. Forbea, at the Portaette. It went as far as Mrs. Mary Walkers, a loyal member of this division, who is sick. This pageant with streaming flags and banners presented a most majestic appearance as seen 'from a distance. We saw in it: the enlamation of Solomon the wise: "Behold who cometh, powerful as an army with banners." Returning within an hour, with the occasional dim, dim, dim of the drum and the life's minute call, this silhouette, bepainted with Red, Black and Green, bespoke verily and indeed, the impetus of the sons of Africa, more resolute than ever in their silent mood to fight for their fatherland, Africa, or die a-doing, while the ladies among them were as the princesses of Ethiopia in those glorious days of the gallant Prince Babar. A few minutes after returning, to the Liberty Hall, a suspicious bombhead was served, followed by a half-hour revenge, broken by the identifier of the Wear Good Clothes at Little Cost APPEARANCE COUNTS Buy Straight from the Manufacturers and SAVE MONEY Give us a call or send for our price lists.

A choir well equipped was on the stand and gave credit to the name—it was really the risen soul of song, died and entombed in Old Harbour for some time since. The chapain discoursed on Joshua before the city of Al, "even as is the Honorable Marcuss Garvey" before the nafona. It was a very appropriate piece of eulogy. Next came the reading of the letter from the Parent Body and from our deputy to the convention by the secretary, E. Altiman Salmon, as was ordered by the president, after which the choir burst out in melodious tones, symphonious to the keenest ear. Miss Jane Lewis gave a recitation; then a song from the choir. Mr. Alexander Walters began a very amusing anecdote of some fictitious romance. He was called down and had to stop, somebody paying the president to stop him, but no sooner was this done than someone paid to have him continue. This lasted some time and brought a handsome little purse to the table. A similar joke was played on Mr. O. E. Shaw and Clifford Forbes. This was the real spirit of the concert. There was a recitation from little Miss Anidine Patterson and some well delivered discourses from both officers and members. The speakers for the night were the first and second vice-presidents, our worthy treasurer, the secretary, and Messrs. Frank Henry, Johnson from Knickles, O. E. Shaw, J. Forbes and Clifford Forbes, who was very conspicuous with his West Indian style, well known to almost all Jamaicans. The president came last, winding up the clock, being nothing less than he always was, a unit of West Indian constellations. This was a night of jubilation; there was no other topic but the convention. The choir interposed their melodious strains between every speaker, as if on that depended their success in oratory. This came to a close at 12:50, then a midnight supper followed, after which music of a different nature swelled in the auditorium. It gave vivacity to the fast of ladies and gentlemen, and caused them to pass up and down the hall, spinning and passing to and fro like fairies at play. The most joyous occasion of the evening was the return of Mr. Isaac Gayle to our midst, after having wandered far away from the fold for some time. A prodigal over mountains, waste and wild, but now he has come back to the fold of the U. N. I. A. Our hearts beat with joy and brotherly love for him. We extend the hand of fellowship, and may Divino Providence help him to continue. During these merry momenta just as a brother approached the table to quench his thrist after a dance, a Jo Gayle, from Holme Creek, who had smaked up to the table and seized a bottle of liquor, with intent. he mild, to take it to the "mar盐" as chandeline liquor, though in our opinion he intended to take his drink and secrete the rest. Mr. J. M. Hunter intervened and frustrated his plans. This was about 3 o'clock a.m. September 1. He was so enraged at his defeat that at that hour he went and woke up the corporal of the coast guard, who came and stopped all sports for the night. This Jo Gayle—"J" for Judas and "O" for Old Harbour, i. a., the Judas of Old Harbour—was well handled by M. J. M. Hunter, and we trust this lentious, tralorous scum of humanity has learned a lesson from what he received. Nevertheless, the spirit of unity was manifested hero on this occasion. Music started again at 6:20 a.m. and continued until noon, when we broke up. All was well, and may God bless us and help us to see another Negro holiday. E. ALTIMAN SALMON. Secretary. TERRE HAUTE, IND. DIVISION NO. 328, HOLDS BIG MASS MEETING Terre Houte Division No. 338 had a mass meeting on September 24. The meeting was called at 8 o'clock, and was opened by the Vice-President, with the usual song and the opening prayer in concert. The meeting was then declared opened, and the concerted program began after the opening address was delivered by the Vice-President. The Vice-President, Rev. E. Brown, is one of the new Negroes who not only fills his place as Vice-President, but also does the work of another. His address was wonderful. He dealt with the Scriptures To prove that this movement was of God, the one God, and many other things he linked together to show that it was right to come together and be a people like other peoples of the world. First was Mrs. Hallie Brown, who made a wonderful and heart-searching talk. She spoke of how we might come together and be loving, as we have been taught, and take the one God for our help, but first do our part. Second to give us a heart-stirring talk was Mrs. T. B. Coleman, who seems to have brought the spirit into the meeting. Third was Mr. L. Penick, who first mung a song and then began to tell us his experiences of some forty years and his travels over the distant seas. But, said he, this is the only organization that has ever been in the world that the Negroes of the world can have hope to over be a people, and he said also that he was willing if it took blood to put it over the top. After he had done all that he could do, he was to spare some of that, too. Fourth came W. M. Daniel and told of many things that had occurred, but the movement was yet going on. He spoke of what it takes to have a new Negro, and many other things that were well accepted by those who knew him speak. A song by the congregation and Scripture reading by the Chapelia, Rev. Brown. Next was the presentation of the President by the Vice-President, who used no subject, but spoke first of the things that were being said in our city of our own people, and of preparing ourselves. He asked how we can prepare ourselves if we don't do as other peoples of the world have done. What is that? First we must leave off personalities and come together with a mind that we shall die one for another. Little our difficulties among ourselves. We have not forgotten the days of East St. Louis or the flying bombs in Oklahoma that left our people and their homes in a shameful and helpless condition. Ah, friends, it was all because we had not a government behind us and no recognition. What shall we do to get recognition? First is to follow that visionary leader that God has given us to wake us up. Then we will be able to build a government of our own. When we get a government, then we can demand protection and be recognized as the American boys were in Turkey. When they found them wrapped up in the American flag, they did no harm, because they had a government behind them. I say so shall we have that kind of government when we can see as our chief has seen and come together with one mind. Many other things were said to put our people in this city to thinking for themselves. I was very much surprised in the Sunday school this morning when the Rev. Hammond said we should be like the people were when the Jews returned to their old home. He said those who wanted to go went, but there were many who did not want to go but they helped the others that did go. So should we, said he, help those of our people who want to return to their mother home. For, said he, there are some of us that shall never go.

The hurricane, which blew from recent days to ninety miles an hour, began about 7 p.m. Sunday when the liner was thirty hours out of Southampton. Early Monday morning the great Cunarder war in the thick of it, boring into seas that crashed over her forward structure and dropped tons of water on the decks. One huge sea broke over the liner about 8 a.m. Monday. It smashed over the promenade or B. deck, breaking the windows of the Raeburn suite, dust on the vessel, occupied by Charles Peters of Tulsa, Okla. a director of the Middle States Oil Company, and his young son, Charles Jr. Both were in bed, but awake. The water burst into the suite and drenched both to the skin. Flying glass struck the boy on the forehead. Mrs. Peters and her daughter occupied an adjoining room of the same suite, but were not disturbed. It was my first trip at sea," said Mr. Peters. "The best I can say of the waves is that they seemed to be a section of the Rocky Mountains coming down at you. I will confess there were times when I thought the vessel would not right herself." The hurricane lasted twenty-two hours. One first-class passenger had his arm slightly cut by flying glass. A heavy door on B deck, smashed in once and repaired, was broken in a second time. Forty feet of teakwood coping seventy feet above the water line was torn away and washed overboard. Ten heavy plate glass windows were broken. The storm came from the southeast, and the barometer dropped to 28.28, the lowest Captain Charles hns seen, except when, as an officer on the Lucania in 1898, it read 27.28, but the seas were not as great then. The breaking of the port lights on C deck drove about forty persons in their night dress to the lounge, where they were made comfortable upilf their cabins dried out. Many passengers grouped together and prayed, and several strapped life-preservers about themselves. While many of the passengers were uncasy during the height of the storm, there was nothing resembling a panic on board. As a gift of thankfulness the passengers raised a purse of about $1,000 for the seamen.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General HIS HIGHNESS THE POTENTATE, HON. G. JOHNSON, VISITS COLUMBUS DIV. Sept. 22 1922 The Columbus Division had a flying visit from His Highness the Potentate, the Hon. Gabriel Johnson, on Friday, September 22. He was accompanied by his secretary, and they arrived in Columbus at 7 p.m. on their way from Dayton. On account of an error in the address, the letter and telegram telling us of the exact time when the party would arrive never reached their destination, and because of that the reception which would have been tendered to his highness was not carried out. Anyway, he was received by a guard of honor, formed by the Legions, Black Cross Nurses and the Motor Corps, under the command of Col Greenhow and his able assistants. It was "carnival of joy week," and the hall was filled with an eager and interesting crowd ready to hear what the titular head of this great organization had to say about the movement. The hall was very nicely decorated, and presented quite a royal welcome to his highness. The chair was occupied by Mr Isaac Kellum, who has been guiding the destiny of the Columbus Division for nearly twelve months now, and under whose guidance the division has made such a splendid record at home and abroad. Surely President Kellum deserves the grateful thanks of the Columbus Division for having piloted the affairs of the division so successfully. The executive secretary was asked to give the welcome address to the Potentate, and this was done to the pleasure and satisfaction of all. The late commissioner for Bocas del Toro and Panama, the Rev E C West, was scheduled to speak, but he was unavoidably absent, so the Rev. Mellon, late of Dayton, was asked to speak. He delivered a fiery address on the ancient greatness of Ethiopia. The next speaker was the secretary to the Potentate. Those who listened to that address will never forget it. Mrs. Kinch captivated her audience from beginning to end of her splendid speech. Tears came to the eyes of many as she told of the treatment of our kinsmen all over the world. Surely it was good to listen to such a fine oration by a member of our race, especially a member of the weaker sex. Just at this point Mr. G. R. Christian, the ex-secretary, was called upon to make the collection speech. A touching appeal was made on behalf of the great movement and right heartily did the audience respond. The potentate was now presented to the audience by Mr. Fred Johnson, the third vice-president. This was done by a neat speech. The congregation stood as the Potentate came forward to deliver his long-looked-for address. The burdon of his speech was the great success that attended the third international convention, and the awakening of the Negro everywhere Mr. Johnson said he was glad to be back in Columbus and to hear and now see how well we were getting along. He said he hoped for great success to this movement, and that the resuscitation of the Black Star line would hasten the day of universal brotherhood among the Negroes of the world. He did not fail to refer to the activities of the enemy bunch in New York, but he also showed how they failed to make any headway against Marcus Garvey or the organization. Altogether a splendid speech was delivered by the Potentate. May he live long to assist to carry on the great work that he has sponsored for the last two years. The carnival hold last week was a financial success. Another drive is on toward the same fund—to purchase a liberty hall. REPORTER.

A Farewell Reception Held in the Camaguey Liberty Hall on September 16 A Farewell Reception Held in the Camaguey Liberty Hall on September 16 On the 16th day of September, beginning at about six o'clock in the evening, a farewell reception was given at our Liberty Hall in behalf of our treasurer, Mr. Samuel Harry and wife, who are now on their way to the United States of America, with no other purpose but to connect themselves closer with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Harry has worked earnestly, honestly and truthfully for a period of one year, and up to the time of his departure his books and accounts were right. He has won the love of all the people in this vicinity, and his departure has caused much sorrow among us. We do not want you to think that Mr Harry is an exceptional good worker in this fight for liberty, but we want you to believe that he has done his level best, and has a mark of our high estimation, we attributed to Mr Harry just what we think was legal and right. The proceedings of this reception were as follows: The hall was decorated in an unusual manner; on the table were placed half a dozen of the most beautiful made cakes, surrounded with roses of various kinds. As the honored guest entered the hall the congregation arose and sang the first verse of the Ethiopian national air. The guests were escorted by the president and two men of the African Legion up to the table, where they stood in a uniformed position. Treasurer and wife were at the head, the executive secretary and lady secretary, president and lady president, general Patronize onize Your Fellow Members of the Negro Race: Why not support your own industries and help to find employment for your Race?

G. GARDINER Noted English Liberal Editor Says Bursting Greek Bubble Leaves France as Dictator By A. Q. GARDINER (Special Wireless Dispatch to The World) LONDON. Sept. 20 - A visitor from Mars to our planet today might reasonably wonder whether he had entered a mad house. He would find Europe trembling on the brink of a great war and discussing excitedly whether a Negro boxer gave Carpentier a foul blow. The public mind is bewildered by the helpless tangle of the European puzzle, and has turned with delight to the greatest popular sensation of these days. The vogue of Carpentier is unparalleled in the history of the prize ring and his popularity is as great in England as in France. It was unaffected by his defeat at the hands of Dempsey, which was explained away on the ground of the difference in weight. But the sudden humiliation of his collapse before the unknown Benegalose created unprecedented astonishment. The film indicates the knockout blow was of doubtful legality, but the general impression is that if technically unfair, it was not deliberately so. Europe Like Carpentier If Africa in the person of a Negro boxer has lowered the flag of Europe in the prize ring, Asia in the person of the Turk has inflicted a more serious humiliation. Whatever the outcome of the strange drama now engaged, whether it is peace or war, the Turk emerges formidable and rehabilitated. His triumph is due less to his own merits than to the deplorable disagreements of the Christian powers, especially England and France. The mischievous policy of furtively encouraging the Turk-Greek conflict and backing opposite sides invited the present disaster and the overwhelming defeat of the Greeks leaves France, diplomatically as well as militarily, dictator of the situation. The bursting of the Greek bubble is the greatest blow British prestige has sustained. Cursors' efforts in Paris to overcome the fatal effect of the Lloyd George manifesto met with some measure of success, but the practical effect of the developments has been to leave England alone to defend the Dardanelles pending the conference and alone confronting the Mohammedan opinion behind the Turks. At this moment it is doubtful whether the Turk will push his advantage by force of arms or await developments through negotiations. Much depends on France. I cannot suppose that she would wish a war which would make final the breach of the Franco-British relations and the gain from which would be problematical. Moreover, the Little Entente dreads restoration of Turkish power on European soil. Gratesque to Bar Rusala Meanwhile Greece is in chaos and the military element demands that the army advance to the defense of the Thracian frontier. The problem bristles with difficulties. Assuming that the conference will be held, the exclusion of Russia would be grotesque. Any settlement as to control of the Dardanelles ignoring Russian interests would be repudiated. Freedom of the Dardanelles is vital to peace, but how is it to be secured? It was suggested that it be handed over to the League of Nations, but the League does not include Russia, and it would have to hand it back again to a mandatory power. What power? England? France? Italy? There are objections to each and all. The crisis completely overhadowed the confluence of the League at Geneva, where a sensation was caused by Lord Robert Cecil's suggestion that the League control and use air power as a means of enforcing its authority. The proposal goes to the foundation of the whole problem, which is the employment of force. No Future for Unarmed League. Team quite sure Lord Robert is honestly convinced there is no future for an unarmed League. For other concessions would have brought an ardent, a pacifist' to this conclusion. The idea will create a great controversy within the League and may lead to a serious runoff. If the Turkish circle passes there in a strong impression that Lord George will also the opportunity to go to the country in October. His position grows steadily worse and the longer the government solution is delayed the more dangerous the bill. The Coalition Government now is universally discredited and every party is eager to cost the government health and sever strictly to a AMERICA'S NEED OF THE NEGRO The question of whether the Negro is a liability or an asset to the United States is most important to the nation as a whole. And, regardless of whether he is an asset, prevailing opinion upon this point will largely determine the rapidity with which the race problem relative to the Negro will be solved. After a complete survey of the situation, including our national needs and necessities, the physical, mental and spiritual traits of the colored race, the attitude of the race toward our government and the certain proportions of development the race will attain, unquestionably the Negro is not only an asset, but time will likely prove him a necessity to the future welfare of our country. Some well-meaning people of both the white and colored races have advocated the idea of the Negro's return to Africa—that with the advantages gained by his experiences in America he is well equipped to build a civilization in his native land, and that it would be better both for this country and for Africa that he did so. But the consensus of opinion is that such a thing is not possible, and that were it possible it would not be best, particularly for the United States From the economic viewpoint, especially that of manual labor, America needs the Negro. If Negro labor was a good thing for this country, economically speaking, during slavery, it is better with his freedom. As has already been mentioned, Negro labor made possible the swift reconstruction of the South after the Civil War. Not only that, but when the exodus of Negroes from the South to the North look place, the South materially suffered from it. In absence of comparatively much "foreign labor," the Negro as a worker is practically necessary to economic success in the South, and is a valuable asset to any part of the country. However, in considering America's need of the Negro from the standpoint of labor and economy, our minds should be disabused of the long prevailing idea that the Negroes' specialty is labor, and that that he is fit only for physical labor. The greatest curse of our country and of the world is the wrongly placed view of "labor," regarding as mental and those engaged in it as degraded. Of all things, labor is the most honorable. The laws of nature have made it essential to physical, mental and moral health. Without physical exercise the body fails and dies. Actual useful labor is the very best sort of physical exercise. Without mental exercise, the mind fails to develop, dwarfs, becomes ineffective and useless. Without moral exercise in love for and doing good for others, the soul arrives and perishes. The proper exercise of body, mind and soul in the comprehensive sense is work. The line of demarkation between physical and mental work is hard to distinguish. Neither can be done successfully without the other. No man can be at his best mentally who does not exercise his body. No one can do good physical work without aid from the brain. The one contributes to the other. This is all so evident and commonplace that no one will dispute it, but no other fact of life is so ignored and abused as this. Not only does the "Aristocracy of Gold," together with the imitators of this aristocracy, "look down" upon manual laborers, but most of such workers themselves feel devalued and long for the time when they may escape it. Many resort to tricks and dishonest devices in order to live without work. But hate it as we may, it is essential to the existence of humanity. Every necessity, comfort and luxury is possible only through the manual toil of some one. Therefore, the most essential, and, consequently, the most honorable people of earth are the workers. The fact is, no man or woman with the mental or physical ability to engage in some useful occupation and refuses to do so, has a moral right to live. Such a one is necessarily a burden to others and a "numberer of the ground."—Buffalo, N. Y. American. GOV. MILLER RENOMINATED Governor Nathan L. Miller was renominated to succeed himself by the Republican State Convention as was generally expected. His insistence that he would only run if allowed to name his associates on the ticket, who should be in full sympathy with his policies, was conceded at every point. That is to say, Governor Miller has been allowed by force of character and by circumstances to become the leader of the Republican party in New York State in the sense that Thurlow Weed, Roscoe Conkling and Thomas C. Platt were in former days. This is a significant fact in the Republican politics of New York, and will have its bearing upon national politics. It was openly declared at the State convention that Governor Miller is the logical candidate to succeed President Harding in the White House two years hence, and the Washington correspondents are industriously broadcasting the sentiment that President Harding is tired and disgusted with his job as President and will hardly seek a nomination. The ticket nominated by the Albany convention and the platform adopted are exceedingly strong and will appeal to the voters of the State. will regret that among those who were not given a place on the ticket was Mr. John J.

They reserve for negotiation the questions which vitally concern the great powers and those which concern the religious minorities. The Turkish victory over Greece is completed by the promise of Eastern Thrace and Adrianople. The principal question reserved for negotiation is the control of the straits. If Kemal agrees to the terms the question of control has really been reserved, for under these terms he cannot move his army even to the Atlantic shores of the Dardanelles and Bosporus. This is the critical point in the whole matter, and Americans, being deeply concerned in the fate of the Christian population, should realize clearly the strategic importance of this matter. The facts are these: Kemals victory over Greece, together with the diplomatic support of France, has apparently made it impossible to prevent the return of Turkish administration to Thrace. All that remains is to find the most effective protection for the non-Moslems. Verbal promises will of course be offered, but they will not nothing. The Christian and Jewish populations must be within reach of armed protection. And that means that the Dardanelles must be open so that war vessels can pass through them. For if the Turks can close the straits no help can ever be brought quickly to the oppressed peoples of either Asia Minor or Thrace. Unless the straits are open the Turk can defy Europe. The powers have agreed among themselves to stand for control of the straits by the League of Nations. This is the one possible solution of the problem of the straits, as it is the only possible thread of hope for the non-Moslems. A League of Nations police guarding the mouth of the straits could prevent the Turk from closing them, could prevent any one power from forcing them and could permit the fleets of the civilized nations to pass through them whenever in the judgment of the League events in Turkey required it. To this proposal Washington ought to lend its support. Even if it is thinking of nothing but "purely American interests," whatever they may be, Washington ought to have the practical sense to realize that these interests require that the Turk should not be in a position to shut the Dardanelles.—N. Y. World. THE TURK COMES BACK Of nations conquered in the big war Turkey comes back first. Read the offer made to her by the great Allies and you learn that fighting alope counts in the family of nations. Turkey fought and won England, France and Italy big her to meet them in conference, offer her, most humbly, "Thrace, as far as the River Martiza, and including Adrianople." Turkey is invited into the League of Nations, who is assured that the Dardanelles will be kept, open and neutral, "Anything in reason, if you will please stop fighting," is the word. What a change from Armistice Day, when Turkey was the yellow dog kicked out of Europe. It makes a difference when you fight and win. In Constantinople there is fear of Turkish massacres. The Turkish idea of a celebration is a massacre. And the Christians in Constantinople lack the absolute faith that upheld them in times past. When the Turks first entered the city in triumph, after a long centuries of Roman rule—about 469 years ago—the Christian women and children gathered in the square before the Church of St. Sophia. They had been assured that at the right moment an angel with a flaming sword would appear and protect them. The angel did not turn up, but the Turk did, with his usual massacre. He made a Mohammedan mosque of St. Sophia, putting minarets for muzzzizus at the corners and covering with plaster the beautiful mosaic designs forbidden by the Prophet. Turkey has not replied to the humble petition of the great Allies, but Russia has served notice that the Dardanelles belong to the countries on the Black Sea—to Russia chiefly. The question of war or no war depends on Russia and the character of Kemal, the Turkish leader. If this war comes it will be interesting chiefly as Russia's war. That big country may come back number two That depends partly on the ability of Trotsky as a leader of armies.—Arthur Brisbane in the N. Y. American. A VOICE FROM AFRICA A VOICE FROM AFRICA The Negro people of America, in a corporate form, have proclaimed to the world, on behalf of Negroland, their dissatisfaction with the present social, civic, political, industrial and economic status of the Negro, and have presented a powerful statement of their case before the bar of civilization in the form of the Charter of Liberty, drawn and signed by the great Negro Convention in America, August, 1830. This Declaration of Rights is now before the civilized world undergoing criticism and thoughtful consideration. This means that the Negro world is on strike for liberty. The document is a most thought out and powerful instrument. We admire the movement, sympathy and resiliency on behalf of the race. We admit the glaring facts and dreadful pictures of the dis abilities of the Negro; the lynching processes and discriminations against the Negro, especially in America. We admit positive propaganda to demonstrate the hatred against the Negro. We admit the furious determination to keep him down as the under dog, as unfit for any rights or privileges in this world. He should have no place in the sun. But whether black America will be able to carry out its program, whether black men divorced from white men will rule and control Africa at any time in the near or distant future is another matter for serious consideration. And we must not close our eyes to the fact that the Negro here and elsewhere has some privileges and advantages which he is enjoying and which he could use for building himself up in all many virtues. The white man, in many cases, gave him his chances to demonstrate his capabilities and to make himself a man, rising to a high podestal in life and attainment. The chances may be small, but they are there, many a time neglected and oftentimes abused, so that it is not at all a black picture without a silver lining, and the movement in America will have been mistaken if it does not recognize this fact. But how this declaration will be carried out perfectly and successfully is our concern and important study. We realize the indomitable courage and perseverance of the leaders. We comprehend their determination and we possess our souls in patience to see accomplishment of this gigantic effort. It is not sufficient to say, 'Africa for Africans,' and that it must be ruled, governed and directed by Africans. In our humble opinion the struggle should rather be to put down wrong opinion and secure peace and mutual understanding between the races of the earth — The Provincial Herald, Also Nigeria, July 1, 1922 THE APES, FUTURE CHAMPIONS The cables from Paris give an interesting interview with Charles Zeller, manager of the Senegalese, Siki, who has just wrested the boxing championship of Europe from Carpenter Zeller's talk is interesting because, while he is in the fight promotion business and asserts that he has a man who will "beat the daylights" out of "dempsey, he has no illusion in regard to the social status of fighters That portion of the public which makes a hero out of the reigning heavyweight brusser will rub its eyes on bearing the very frank Mr. Zeller say that the nearer a man is to an apa the more likely he is to be a ring champion. We have endcaved in these columns to find some excuse for the undeniably widespread interest in prisonfighting by treating it as a protective instinct by means of which nature prevents us from neglecting our bodies. Life has a physical basis. The prisionfighter represents that physical basis at its best—no we have told our renders in our effort to defend their admiration of the prowess of our foremost knockout experts. But Mr Zeller roughly dismisses all such sophistry. "Years ago," blithely says Zeller, "I decided that if an intelligent ape could be found and taught boxing, the result would be a world's champion. Sikir is the fellow. I had to go to the jungles of Africa to find him, but now I have him and he will trim all of them. The host future fighters will be dusky tribemen trained by chasing baboons to the tree and fighting lions bare-handed." The best, that is, except the baboons and gorillas themselves, who are fiercer and stronger than even the most savage man. When the present stock of champions — weaklings such as the Dempsey—have been put out of business by Zeller's missing links, can it be doubted that some still more enterprising manager than he will train the gorillas themselves and issue challenges on behalf of them? There are nations calling themselves civilized which in the name of sport patronize rights between men and bulls. Would rights between men and apes be any less edifying or any more degrading? It is well that a young man should rejoice in his strength, especially if he hasn't much else to rejoice about; but the brute creation immeasurably exceeds man in that direction, nor do we have to go to lions and apes to have our physical pride diminished. Let us remember that if the average man had the same relative physical development as a flea or mosquito he could take a standing jump over the Washington monument. — The Pittsburgh (Pa.) Press.

PUBLISH ARRIVAL OF NEGRO DELEGATES PUBLISH ARRIVAL OF NEGRO DELEGATES A NEGRO DELEGATION TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS (From La Suisse, Geneva, Switzerland) GENEVA, Sept. 14—A Negro delegation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association arrived in Geneva yesterday from Paris to request the League of Nations to grant them the administration of the former German colonies. Mr Jean Joseph Adams, one of the four delegates, informs us that the object of his Association, with no fewer than five and a half million members, is to prove to the world that Negroes, notwithstanding all that has been said, are perfectly able to govern themselves without any protectorate. "We are not aiming at conquest he assured us, 'and we do not wish to create a conflict of races, but simply to experiment.' As we insisted he confessed that the Negroes inted to found a great Negro confederation. In Cuba as well as in Haiti Negroes govern themselves, but they are criticized all the time. Mr Marcus Garvey, president of the Association, is convinced also that the experiment will be crowned with success. The Secretary-General has received their request and from tomorrow, Friday, the delegation will take its seats in the assembly. U. N. I. A. DICTATES POLICY OF NEGRO RACE U. N. I. A. DICTATES POLICY OF NEGRO RACE (Continued from page 2.) be in a position to see the facts as they are I know pretty soon a proclamation is going to be issued It is coming on down from the pulpit and they are going to attempt to bring us to the place where we can see the ferociousness of the terrible Turk and where we can see where he is endangered Christianity and where he has endangered our very fireside, and they are going to try to make us real angry men. You know in this late war the real fighters were colored men. Needham, Roberts and Johnson killed more Germans than any three white men, and what did they get out of that? It is up to us to think this time. We are willing to go a long distance if we can get a little of the spoils of war, but we are not prepared to lay ourselves again upon the altar of sacrifice until we can be assured there is something in it for us. This is peace time and this is indeed a loyal speech. I love the country that gives me protection and I hope my voice shall never be raised against the flag under which I was born, but I do no wrong when I say that if this government or any other government wants me to fight that government is going to have to do something for me. It is up to us to reason this thing out plainly, because, as I said in the beginning, the situation is growing serious and we do not know what is going to happen next. I trust when it occurs that we will be prepared under the leadership of His Excellency Marcus Garvey to take a decided stand in the interest of right. (Appeause.) LADY DAVI8 SPEAK8 Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis said It is very gratifying to see our Sunday night crowd in Liberty Hall Many come for the love of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, others come to hear the music of the band and the choir, and others come to enrichize and scout, but those who come to scout very often remain to pray This is a time that calls for serious thought on the part of the Negro You have fought every nation's battles but your own, but this time the Negro is awake; he has awakened to his own self-consciousness and he has laid aside most of that sympathy that caused him to fight other folk's battles and he is now going to fight for himself—fight as he never fought before—fight for his flag; fight for a country of his own. He has grown weary and tired of being dominated by the other races, and Negroes of this Western Hemisphere under the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey have de- COMPLAINT Universal Negro L NOTICE!

All persons ha department, officer or employe of the COMPLAINT COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on his tour of the nation, has been approached by hundreds of loyal members and well wishers of the Association in complaints against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at headquarters, and from individual officers and employees at headquarters, as also against the conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field. The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begs to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office.

(Applause.) Hon F. A Toote, speaking on the subject of "Co-operation," said there comes a time in the history of all nations and all peoples when co-operation is particularly necessary, and that time is when a crisis is impending. At this time we are passing through a rudual period. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is threatened by the enemies of the cause of African redemption. You who are on the outside; you who have come here tonight—some of you—are the enemies yourselves. You have come within our ranks to find out what you can take away. The enemies are more busy than ever, they are running hither and thither seeking every opportunity to destroy our great leader and so destroy the movement. They believe that if they can destroy the abepher they will eventually scatter the sheep and the Association will fall, and therefore I want to make an appeal tonight for co-operation. They have written to your lodges, they have written to your clubs and your literary societies to collect money, for what? To destroy Garvey—not the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Now who is Garvey but the Universal Negro Improvement Association and every Negro that is in it? When they strike at the leader they strike at the movement, and therefore when they strike at a movement that is preaching freedom and liberty they are striking at you. Therefore we must make up our minds that they will not be able to carry out their designs. We must make up our minds that whatever happens we must stand behind our leader. If Garvey is wrong, let them make him right, but let them make others right before Garvey is made to do what they think he ought to do. Garvey is not the greatest sinner in Jerusalem, not by any means, but the fact is this, because we sent our men to the League of Nations and are doing something for Negro uplift, they are endeavoring to frustrate our efforts; but we are prepared now to stand with Garvey and follow him wherever he goes. (Thunderous applause.) Mr. Toote wound up by making an impressive and convincing appeal for contributions to the defense fund which is being raised in behalf of the President-General to defend the suit instituted against him by the Federal authorities and which will shortly come up for adjudication PREDOMINANT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HON.

NEGRO BANERS AFFILIATE WITH HAJAN COMPANY (By N P) NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 18—As an immediate result the project of colored bankers, propriets and business men financing a diplomatic expedition to British Gulana, an importation and trading company he developed. Representative Haitianapon finding the backers fully responsible and qualified for the bigger things, it once offered valuable concessions all other alluring inducements. A recent conference between the parties concluded has warranted the establishment of regular service between New York and Haitian ports. New companies have been formed much of the stock of which is being subscribed for in Haiti. Th Oversea Navigation Company, for transportation purposes, and the Overseas Trading Company, for trading purposes, are two incorporated organizations under which heads the business will be conducted. The offices are at No. 83 Wall Street, New York city. All business will be transacted through colored banks, and every colored banking institution in this country and in Haiti has been asked to assist in the underwriting of the project. A small block of stock, however, will soon be offered to the public. This is the first time colored banks have had a real chance to depart from the usual real estate and mortgage business and enjoy the huge profits common among white banking institutions. They are responding cheerfully, too, since investigation has proved satisfactory.

FIGUEROA, Editor Decisién final sobre si los turcos nacionalistas irin a la guerra contra el poderoso imperio britanico se de- terminayd en Esmirna por el consejo turco presidido por Mustapha Ke- mal Pasha, presidente de la asamblea de Angora y comandante en jefe del ejército turco, segin noticias de esa ciudad. El consejo considera las deman- das britanicas de que lo: turcos per- manezcan fuera de Europa y se abstengan de violar la zona neutral comprendida Constantinopla mien- tras estén pendientes las decisiones de la conferencia del oriente. Si bien el alto comisario francés en Constantinopla, general Felle, ha aconsejado a los turcos que se abs- tengan de todo movimiento belico contra los britanicos, algunos de los jefes entre los oficiales de Pasha, in- flamados por las victorias sobre los grieges, insisten en que los turcos invadan la Europa penetrando a la zona neutral hasta la capital, antes de convenir en un armisticio. Estos liltimos cuentan con el apoyo de los rusos soviets ; también el de la po- blaci6n musulmana en la India y el Egipto. Mientras .anto el ejército griego se prepara @ defender la Tracia y a cooperar con las fuerzas britanicas. La estrategia de los turcos es evi- dente; desean ganar un punto de apoyo en Europa antes de que se inaugure la conferencia de paz, en la cual reclamarin todo el territorio que esta bajo el dominio de los eyér- citos turcos. Existen todavia doscientos mil cristianos en lo costa del Asta Menor cuyas vidas se pondrian en peligro si la guerra estalla entre turcos y britanicos. Tienese enteudido que el rey Constantino ha contribuido a un fondo para su socorro. Se informa que el ministro_bri- ‘tanico en Atenas ha advertido al go- bierno griege que fa Gran Bretaiia puede necesitar la cooperacién del ejército griego para la defensa de los Dardanelos. El comandante del eyército griego de Tracia, general Plimenacos, ha establecido su cuartel general en Adnianépolis. Los membros musulmanes de la legislatura de la India han apelado a Lord Reading, virrey Lritanico, para la restauraciun de Constantinopla, Tracia y las partes de .\sia Menor a Tirguia, Los que Maliciosamente Critican Ia Direccién, Propésito y Actividades de Ia Asociacién Universal Para el Adelanto de In Raza Negra, Ningun Resultado Prac- tico Han Obtenido No Solamente en Beneficio de Sus Semejantes, Sino en su Propio Beneficio—Nuestra Organizacién, Con su Nuevo Virus de Este Nuevo Afio, Continua Adelante Hacia la Realizacién de su Ideal, Sin Preocuparle los Cantos de Sirenas Aun continuan dirigiendo su fuego lento en contra ; la Asociaci6n Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra y de sus corporaciones aliadas, cierto ndmero de los tal Ila- mados sabios y directores de nuestra raza, quienes malicio- samente tratan de destruir los poderosos cimientos cons- truidos, sobre los cuales ha de eregirse el gran edificio de una causa justificada. Estos criticos, pardsitos que corroen y malean el sentimiento humano, detestan la aceptacién y confianza que nuestra organizacién ha obtenido en el corto periodo de su instalacién, aceptacién y confianza que ellos no han. podido obtener ni obtendrén, toda vez que contunuen haciendo uso de Ja polftica malsana que han empleado en contra nuestra. El sentimiento de estos pardsitos es el de detener el carro del progreso, toda vez que ellos se vean imposibilitados para ascender en 41. Hacen escasamente cinco afios, las ideas generosas y_ progresistas de un corto niimero de elementos de nuestra raza iniciaron el mas sélido de los movimientos en pro de la unificacl6n y progreso general de nuestra raza negra, constituyendo una organizaci6n con el objeto de poner en practica el programa sablamente delineado de antemano. Despues de ese corto lapso de tiempo notamos a la Asocia- cién Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra como movimiento universal, concientemente organizada en los Estados Unidos de America, en el Canada, en las Antillas, en Centro y Sur America, en Europa, en Asia, en Australia y en Africa; notamos que millones de elementos de nuestra raza profesan una nueva fé y abrigan una nueva esperanza; notamos que el sentimiento progresista del Negro evolu- ciona r4pidamente en todas partes; notamos que cen- tenares de industrias pertenecientes a elementos de la taza, sc desarrollan de un modo sorprendente por medio de a activa propaganda de esta organizacién. La Asociacién Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha establecido un diario, un semanario y una revista mensual, 6rganos de los intereses generales de nuestra raza, ha constituido un gran nimero de institu- clones industriales y comerciales, no solamente en esta ciudad sino en distintos puntos del pafs bajo la direccién y administracién del Departamento de Industrias de la organizacién, la cual posee propiedades y da trabajo a millares de hombres y mujeres de nuestra raza. He aqui el resultado de la labor realizada por indivi- duos cuya entereza de caracter y determinaci6n incom- parables han puesto en practica sus ideas progresistas. Ningtin resultado practico, nada eficiente hemos visto que hayan obtenido aquellos que desde Ia tribuna pablica, en las columnas de la prensa y en la conversacién particular han criticado y critican aun, las actividades de nuestra organizacién por el bien comun de la raza. La actitud de estos refractarios tiende a detenernos solamente por un momento, en la marcha de avance que hacia el progreso hemos emprendido. Nuestra organiza- cién ha ofrecido a sus opositores la oportunidad de tomar Parte en este grandioso movimiento, con el objeto de que sus abilidades como directores sean demostradas. Esta oportunidad no ha sido aun aceptada, quiz4s por prurito u otra causa sin justificacién, la cual han sobre puesto a la gran Idea de la emancipacién de una raza. Bienestar y progreso en un sentido general, es el lema de esta organizacién. En la realizacién de este ideal nos vemos interceptados por un gran nitmero de dificultades dimanadas no de parte de elementos pertenecientes a otras razas, sino de parte de elementos perniciosos de nuestra Propia raza, inspirados quizds por un celo mal fundado, Oponiendose no solamente al progreso y bienestar de la Taza én general sino tambien al suyo propio en particular. : Nuestra arganizacién esta determinada a luchar hasta el fin en la batalla por Ia libertad del Negro y Ia abroluta : emancipacién del Africa.

La oferta aceptada fija el interés de seis por ciento y los bonos seran pagaderos en tremnta aiios.. Después de examinarse las ofertas.

Equidad Para el Negro EI informe de la comisién sobre relaciones raciales nombrada por el pobernaace Lowden de Illinois poco lespues de los motines racistas de Chicago en Juho de 1919 acaba de hacerse publico. Es de interés na- cional, y no tnicamente de aplica- cién local en sus deducciones. Examina en una forma compieta lo qe denomina nuestro mas grave y lesconcertante prob'ema jnterior, las relaciones entre blancos y negros. La comisién consta de seis micm- bros blancos y seis negros, entre los ge se cuentan hombres eminentes. 1 estudio hecho de! problema pre- senta no solo una observacion nueva y comprensiva de la situacién racial en los Estados Unidos sino que da indicaciones especiales sobre lo que los gobiernos locales, los directors y profesores de ‘as escuelas, las ins- tituciones sociales, las uniones de trabajadores, los patrones, las com- pafiias de tranvias y, finalmente, aunque no en ultimo término, la prensa, debieran hacer. El problema no puede ser igno- rado. La deportacién de negros, el establecimiento de un estado negro, la segregacién completa; tales pro- puestas See ares toe vanes. La solucién debe estar en armonia con la ley fundamental de la nacién y oo - libres instituciones, El re- ito del especial que con- dujo al sombramieno de Is comi- sidn con las fotografias que ilustren el relate, es un episodio. que « causar vergilenta. a cada americana, Pero si -profundiza Fi. ‘sentimiento del deber de ayudar a mejorar In situacién, la confestén publica seri buena para nuestra alma civica. Las recomendaciones del informe tienen su base en la conviccién de que los atrasos que han sido evidentes en los negros; son debidos a las circunstancias de oa aituacin mis buen que a dsfnidos rasgos raciales. Si ef piiblico llega a ser hecho participe de esta con- viecién de la comisién, habremos avanzado largamente hacia la acti- tud razonable para los doce millones de negros de los Estadcs Unidos. El gobernador Lowden encarecio urgentemente la creacién de una ¢co- mision permanente sobre relaciones raciales en Chicago Es alentador que en dos terceras partes de, los condados de trece estados del’ sur existan actuaimente comisiones in- ter-raciales para fomentar la justicia xa anastad entre negros ¥ Blancas: adden Martin, una mujer del sur, autora de Jas narraciones “Emmy Lou” resefla en forma consoladora en el mimero de Octubre de Mc- Clure el progreu de esta empresa aiprendids por laa Wencos que vi ven en el sur.

El Estado de Georgia Casti- gard los Linchamientos Cuando cinco blancos pueden ser condenados en el condado de Liber- ty, estado de Georgia, por participa- cion en el linchamiento de dos ne- gros convictos de atentado contra una mujer blanca, (la excusa de siempre) hay base para creer que los tiempos han cambiado 6 estan cambiando en el sur. Segin ef shen def wintady, hay escasa opinion local a favor del castigo de las personas que tomaron parte en el motin que tomo la ley en sus proptas manos, y no obstante no solamente Ins cinco ya procesados €s probable que sean sometidos a juicio. Tanto el gran jurado como los funcionarios del condado com- prenden evidentemente con mas fa- cihdad que la may oria del popula- cho el oprobio que acarrea un lin- chamento impune. Para tal fin, la opimidn inflexible del norte y de Jos mejores elementos del sur, son los factores directores. Una comunidad del sur que pu- diera tolerar linchanmuentos a la an- tigua, vacilaré en condenar la vio- fencia realizada por una organiza- cién formada para usurpar las fun- ciones de la ley que ha cardo tan bajo en la estimacion publica.

Accién Contra la Republica de Méjico Declarada Sin Lugar | El Hon J. W. Mack, juez de la corte federal, declaré sin lugar la demand intentada contra la ae blica de Mejico por Otto Ketka, presidente de la Union Steel Com- pany, por la suma de dos millones y medio, La acciun se iniciv con la citacion del ministro de hacienda mejicano de la Huerta, mientras éste asistia a la conferencia internacional de ban- jueros en la crudad de Nueva York. be la Huterta refirid el asunto al consulado general de Méjico en esta ciudad, que contesté la demanda por conducto de sus abogados Hardin y Hess La defensa, al contestar la de- manda, pidip se declarara sin lugar en virtud de que la citacién no se habia hecho a la persona competente y que en tal virtud no se habia pre- sentado ninguna demanda. Eso en cuanto a la forma de la demands. En la materia de fondo, observé que los alegatos y pretensién del de- mandante Kafka se basaban exclu- sivamente en articulos publicados en el Times. Desde nuestra conexién fe- sional con el gobierno de Meéftes, dijo la defensa, no se ha intentado ningun juicio contra el goblerno por ninguna causa, ni hemos olds hablar de falta a la palabra empefiada en contratos, ni formal ni infdrmal- mente. Estamos Jo tanto su- mamente complacldos de que los tribunales de los Estados ‘Unidos fayen protegido los intereses del fp ierno mejicano, La demands lué intentads al tiempo en que estae ba reunnida la conferencia interna- cional con el objeto de obstaculizer al ministro de la Huerta en sug ne- gociaciones.
