FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting:
Our friend, Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, has been called by the white race to speak in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland, and in parts of England. He is supposed to tell the people he will address of Africa's needs. This in itself seems harmless, on the surface, but we are not disposed to take this call of Mr Moton to speak in Europe at this time at its face value. This is really the time when we must be saved from our friends. As we see it, the case is as follows:
At the Bottom of It
The white nations interested in the exploitation of Africa have suddenly discovered that there is a universal agitation for the redemption of Africa by the black peoples of the world and that the Africans themselves at home are taking an active part in fostering this agitation. Their brothers in America, the West Indies, South and Central America, Asia, and Europe are giving them a strong helping hand. Millions of Negroes in the western world are now working toward the end of African redemption. Not very long ago the Universal Negro Improvement Association sent to the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland, a delegation of representative Negro men to lay before that august body the claims of the entire race for the freedom of Africa. Great publicity has been given to the matter in Europe, to the extent of stirring up sentiment among the Europeans, at least the working classes. To offset this forward movement of the Negro peoples of the world, the white capitalists, working through their various Christian Missionary Societies have decided to give a new aspect to the African question. They desire to convince the world that Africa does not need an independence all her own, but that Africa's development should be dependent upon the good Christian graces of the white Christian Missionary Societies, supported by the good white Christian philanthropists. They calculate that if they can get the world to see Africa's future from this viewpoint, there would be very little likelihood of the masses of white people sympathizing with this new claim advanced by the Universal Negro
Improvement Association for Africa's redemption. Now, what is behind all this? The answer is, it is simply that the white capitalists of Wall Street, the bank district of London, and the financial centers of France and Italy are determined to strengthen their grip upon Africa's throat, and throttle her until every ounce of gold, silver, copper, coal, iron, oil, and all minerals are squeezed out of her through the sweat and blood of the African natives themselves. To successfully do this, the Africans at home and the Africans abroad must be convinced that it is a right thing for them to welcome the foreign Christian Missionary agencies from Europe, and the protecting influence of the great European Governments.
Blood Money
Now that the Negro has started to think for himself, the white Christian leaders and philanthropists realize that it will be very hard for them

White Capitists Trying to Trick Negro Race Through Negroes Who Receive Their Money
PLOT TO CABLE UP AFRICA
Head of Tuskegee Never Before Interested in Africa
to convince us to accept their "friendly (?) protection." Hence they feel that the best that can be done would be to get a representative Negro to say for them what they would very much like to have said. Our friend Dr. Moton is the fittest man for such a job, because he and his institution, as well as the Hampton Institute (which, by the way, sent Major Allen Washington to accompany Dr. Moton), are the two Negro institutions that have received millions of dollars from white philanthropists to teach Negroes in the way they should go.
When our late lamented friend, Dr. Washington, and our friend Dr. Moton received their millions of dollars from white philanthropists, in America, they little calculated that they were receiving but the blood money for which their race must be sold. No white man gives away money in the thousands without a purpose behind it. The purpose behind all the philanthropy among Negro schools and institutions is that these institutions would give Negroes the kind of education that would alienate them from all those things that tend to make them a united, strong and independent race. Tuskegee was never encouraged to teach the liberated slaves even of to-day their relationship with Africa; neither did Hampton teach this. If these two institutions had taught the thousands of black students who passed through them their racial and national kinship to Africa, to-day Africa would not be so parceled out among the alien races and nation of Europe. But Africa would have been a vast native commonwealth, controlled and governed by Africans themselves.
A $5,000 Check—What It Means!
The lessons of racial and national love for Africa that should have been imparted to the thousands of liberated slaves would have inspired them to return to their Motherland, to help in her development. White philanthropists saw to it that no such thing was taught neither the liberated slaves of America, nor those of the West Indies, but that they subsidized these Negro institutions for the purpose of inspiring our race to love everybody and everything except ourselves and our country, during which time they redoubled every effort to grab every inch of African territory, until to-day Africa, north, south, east and west, and central, is all the property of the white man, which he intends to exploit for the enrichment of himself and his race.
When Julius Rosenwald gives his check for $5,000 and Carnegie for $10,000, it all means that you, the black man, and your country, must repay it one hundred fold, because later on I intend to invest so much in African rubber, dia-

monds, copper, iron, gold, or coal, and so as to be able to secure my investment and make the profit that I hope to gain, either myself personally or my posterity, I will call upon the leaders of your race, whom I have subsidized through their institutions, to tell you just what I want done. You will naturally believe your own. Hence we find Dr. Moton going to Scotland and England to tell the world of Africa's needs, under the direction of the white philanthropists and Christian Missionaries.
What Is Going to Happen
I hardly believe that Dr. Moton is conscious of what he is about to do, because he looks upon it as a great honor bestowed upon the Negro race for a black man to be called to speak before a white missionary society in Edinburgh, and a Christian Endeavor convention in Glasgow. That is all he sees of it, but the white man has a deeper meaning than that. Those of us on this side of the Atlantic will expect to read in the New York World, the New York Times, and other white daily papers, the advice of our good friend Dr. Moton, as released by the Associated Press from Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. These American papers that are but carriers of the capitalist program will tell us how great a leader Dr. Moton is, how sane and sober his advice to the colored people, and that the colored people should follow him in the direction given. The unthinking colored press will take it up, and convey it to the home of every colored man in the United States of America and elsewhere, and thus the white capitalist propaganda will be put over, to the detriment of the race, without our knowledge of it.
Fortunately, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to expose these little tricks that have been practised to the detriment of Africa. We hope that no member of our race will pay any attention to what Dr. Moton says in the matter of Africa's needs, because it is strange that he had nothing to say about Africa until he was called by these white missionaries and philanthropists to speak.
Africa needs very little of the advice that the so-called Christian nations are giving to her at the present time. They have had hundreds of years for Christianizing Africa, and all that they have done during that time was to rob, ravish and exploit her. We will no longer trust ourselves to their advice.
Let every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cling firmer to the program we have initiated—that of an emancipated Negro race, and a free and redeemed Africa. Support this with your moral, physical and financial strength, and if all of us will loyally obey the dictates of this great world movement, there is absolutely no reason why we shall not, in a short while, defeat the enemies at their game. Send in whatever financial support you can to the Parent Body, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. N. Y., and help us put over the program.
With very best wishes, I have the honor to be
Your obedient servant,

MATHEMATICS AND POLITICS
Big BO tel) forthe purpose eh Nearing sheet honors"
Marcus Garvey and other speakers discuss Sovialism — Dis
cussion has arisen on the street corners and in barber shops as tu
whether the Socialists love the Negro more than the Demograts and
Republicans do and as to whether the Republicans love the Negro
more than the Democrats do or as to whether the Democrats luve
the Negro more than the Republicans do, ete
Now we believe that all of these colored gentlemen wh discuss
the love of various political parties for the black brother are far
afield. They imagine that they are in heaven or that the millennium
has arrived.
The Negro is not in the same category as a dog or horse or cat
or canary bird. Some men like dogs and other men dislike dogs
Some men like horses and other men love horses. Some women
prefer dogs as pets to cats. Other women prefer cats as pets to
dogs. And still other women prefer the canary bird as a household
companion to either dog or cat. Now the difference does not arise
in the special excellence of a particular horse, dog, cat or canary
bird, but in the attitude of the particular man or woman towards
the species as a whole.
But such is not the case with the Negro, because he is a human
y being, and in the last analysis he is estimated in politics as other
men are estimated for the water they draw. Socially a man has
personal preferences, but pohtically he has no personal preferences
Political parties are organized for the purpose of putting over
a certain social, industrial and economic program. Votes are the
medium by which a party rides into municipal, State or national
control. And an individual is estumated by the number of votes
that he can mobilize or control. If a hundred thousand votes are
cast in a municipal or congressional election and a particular man or
club can corral ten thousand of those votes, that particular man or
club will be rated higher politically and be given more political con-
sideration than the man or club who can only corral one thousand
votes.
Once upon a time, in a certam New England town, a college
professor butted into local politics. He had won international re-
fown as a mathematician and astronomer. Ie was a devout Chris-
tian and a man of high character. He could trace Ins ancestry back,
to those who came over in the Mayflower. He had brasns, character
and ancestry. If a visitor from the planet Mars should come to that
town and say, “I want to see one of carth’s noblemen, one of your
finest representatives,” this professor, with his high forehead, firm |
mouth, benign countenance and gracious manners, would be trotted
out. But, unfortunately, this professor could not dominate the par-
ticular ward in which he lived, nor could he make heavy campaign
contributions, and while his intellectual, moral and social influence
was great in that community, his political influence was a negligible
quantity because he could not directly mobilize many votes or indi-
rectly influence many votes. That is politics, pure and simple.
So in politics it is merely a question of mathematics, metely a
question of percentage. When an individual or organization comes
before the powers behind the throne for recognition, consideration
or favors, the thing that is principally considered is what per cent.
of the total congressional, city or State vote can that individual or
organization mobilize? If he or it can mobilize 10 per cent., they
will receive much greater concessions than the individual or organ-
ization that can only mobilize 4% of 1 per cent.
, When we resided in Chicago, Ill, five or six years ago, the
‘Buperstitious ones claimed that Rev. A. J. Carey, then pastor of the
Institutional A. M. E. Church, now Bishop A. J. Carey, possessed a
“Rabbit Foot.” Prof. John R. Hawkins, the financial secretary of the
‘A. M. E. Church, called him “A Master in Israel in Politics” because
be bad such pull with the mayor, the Governor and the city and
pelts bosses. What was che secret of hia power? The Chicago
Siege Baptists were divided into two rival organizations, the A. M.
42, churches of Chicago and vicinity were organized into one eccle-
afastical organization and Dr. Carey was the power behind the throne
{i'tHiat organization. Hence he could sway politically more minister
and: churches than any other man of color in Chicago. Then he
formit-an sillance with the five colored politicians, who had mobil-
izpdhnearly SO per cent. of the vote in the black belt. The ecclesi-
astical group that he dominated and the political group of which he

total Fcoloted ‘vote. He also was positive in his convictions, and that

of the total vote of Greater New York
So st will be well for our black brethren to realize that political
parties are organized fur the purpose of putting uver certain social,
industrial and economic programa, and they are only interested in
individuals, organizations or racial groups in proportion ay that in-
dividual, organization of racial group can assist them in putting over
their program by massing and marshaling votes or swelling the
campaign fund.

WHAT IS A MIRACLE?
| I hgions 1s evulenced by there mtense interest in the editors «!
which appeared in ‘The Negra Daily dimes and Lhe Negie
“venld, entit ed “Has the \ge of Miracles Passed 7”
Mr F Thomas Fortune, the editonal writer for ‘The Negrs
Daily ‘Times, under the heading. “What fsa Miracie*" restates hi
position very effectively He says “The only difference in the
physical creations produced hy the spritual power of man and the
creations of the Creator Himself is simply this, that an the begu
hag the uppositin is that out of nut img God cre Cl every thing
that 1s, ane that man creates all the physical wenders we have
ssumerated out of matter which he did not create “That as to say

. «In discussing this matter our mam object 1s ty show that
there 1s nothing impossible with man in creating out of the maternal
which he finds everywhere anything which may he uf service te
wankind, are much that is positively not of service”
| We will say that we agree in toto with the idealist and prac
Ucal philosophy of ditor Fortune, who has a keen, analstical mine:
ae a penetrating insight. But we only demucred at his interpreta
ton of the term “miracle” We do nut think that “wonders” and
‘muracles” are synonymous terms
Sir John E. Bruce, the Duke of Uganda and the contributing
editor of The Negro World, attempts tu harmomze the position +
of the htterary editor of The Negro World and the editorial writer vt
the Negro Daily Times by saymg “\ miracle 1s nature misuncicr-
stood” Some of the m cles reported in the Ol} and New ‘Teste
inents were, as Sir John said, nut real miracles, but nature misundert
stood.
But other mirhcles reported in the Ol and New ‘Testaments
‘the Immaculate Conception and the Resurrection of Christ, are re
moved from the category of nature misunderstood “They represen?
direct action hy Deity Himself overruling and transcending the haw s
of nature which He Himself created.
Thus we know the characteristic of flesh and of tire Put a
man of flesh and blood inte a furnace hot enough te heat water to

and Abednego dil induates that some force of power superior tu
that of fire intervened and neutrahzcd their natural meamie statis
If Shadrach, Meshach and \bednege did gomto the hery furnace and
come out unhurt and unharmed, that was a mince and nothing
more
So. too, with the Resurrection of Christ, the supreme miracle
of the Bible If Ilis supposed death was only suspended. amma-
tion and if He only appeared to Ils deserples after His resur-
rection as a spiritual apparition to their minds and imagnations
there was no miracle there. But if Christ died a natural body, as we
all sometime wall die, if His bra, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys
absolutely ceased to function, if His blood ceased to circulate, of
His physical body began to decay, if He actually died an the flesh
as we all sometime must die, 1. the spirit agam reanimated the body
on the third day, if the doors of the tomb swung asunder by some
mysterious, unaeen and invisible force and if He walked in the flesh
again end was recognized by His friends, that would be nothing |
else but a miracle, the Almighty taking a hand Himself and stop-|
ping and reversing the natural processes of dissolution
As to whether the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent
Deity would interfere with the laws and forces and processes of na-
ture can be left to philosophers and theologians. But what we desire
to reiterate is this: Poetically we can refer to an act of man as
miraculous or as a miracle, but scientifically and technically it can
only be referred to the direct action of Deity compelling the elements
and forces of nature to obey His august will, moving them as a chess
player moves his kings, queens and pawns.
We are, however, in exact accord with Editor Fortune regard-
ing the creative activities and possibilities of man, who was created
in the divine image and is a God in mimature, and especially the
creative activities and possibilities of black men
THE SITUATION IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
LSEWHERE in this sssue The Negro World prints a news
E dispatch from Hampton, Va. of a lecture delivered by Fred-
etick McFarlane on the social and economic conditions in the
Virgin Islands. It means that the Virgin Islands question has be-
come xational, sf not international. ‘This 1s due primarily to the
efforts and foresight of The Negro World Early in the spring of
this year it began a series of articles by Mr. Casper Holstein up-
braiding the naval administration for its outrageous treatment of
the Negro islanders. Soon the dust-trailing elements of the Negro
press took it up and made capital out of it. Then Mr. Villard’s “Na-
tion” followed, and the American Civil Liberties Union. Washing-
ton’s attention was drawn, and, due to the consistent efforts of Vir-
gin Islanders in the United States and the ever watchfulness of The
Negro World, Admiral Kittelle, Governor of the islands, was recalled
ly Secretary Denby. But the work is not yet finished. Rev. BR. G.
Larrow, a West Indian pastor of the African Methodist Episcopai
Church in St Croix, has been deported on a trumped up charge of
“sedition.” It, as expressed by the officials at Washington, is a high-
handed piece of injustice. Without even the formality of a trial, a
munister of the gospel. who has had the temerity to voice his senti-
ments on a situation that is quite intolerable to one with an ounce
of fairmindedness, has been packed off and exodussed This and
cther evils, social, racial and economic, are yet to be counteracted

theatre. the house was soon filled, and
among the audlence I noticed Bir Ed-
ward Bulwer-Lytton, the renowned
novelist, bis figure neat, trim: halr
done up in the latest fashion, looking
as if he had just come out of a band-
box. As the time approached for the
curtaln to rise it was evident that the
house was to be jammed. Stuart, the
best “Iago” since the days of Young,
in company with “Roderigo.” came
upon the stage as soon as the green
curtain went up “Tago” looked the
villain and acted it to the highest con-
ception of the character. The scene is

plause greet the appearance of

At the end of the third act “Othello”
Was called before the curtain and re-

multitude I watehad the countenance

pleased than he
The following evening 1 went to
‘witness hia Hamlet” and was surprised
to find him as perfect in that as he
had been in “Othello," for I had been
led to believe that the Intter was his
[greatest character The whole court
of Denmark wae defore us, but ‘till
the words: “Tis not alone my Inky
cloak, good mother.” fall from the lips
of Mr. Aldridge, wae the general ear
charmed or the general tongue arrest-
ed. The vole was so low and sad
and sweet, the modulation #o tender,
the dignity so natural, the grace #0
consummate, that all yielded them-
solves allentiy to the delicious enchant-
ment.
When “Horatio” told him that he
had come to see hia fathere furceral,
the deep melancholy that took posses-
non of his face ahowed the ereat dra-
matic power of Mr Aldridge. “1 pray

ncemed tv come from his Inmost soul.
The animation with which hie coun-
tenance wag lighted during * Horatto’s
recital of the visita that the ghosts
had paid him and hia companions was
beyond description. “Angele and min-
ators of Grace defend us.” As the
host appeared in the fourth scene it
sent @ thrill through the whole as-
sembly.
Mr Aldridge's rendering of the
“soliloquy on death,” from which E4-
mund Kean, Charles Kemble, wiiam
Macready have reaped auch untading
laurels, was one of his best efforts, He
read it inflnitely better than Kean,
whom I heard at the Princes but a few
nights previously. The vigorous starts

upon hia efforts with favor and author-
ize him to continue his work without
Interruption We have already sev-
eral copies in circulation, but before
putting aame before the public two
coples were sent to the Governor for
his Inspection and approval, and I am
pleased to state that His Excellency,
being highly In favor of the movement,
was delig: ted with the publication. I
have also wont several copies 10 the
loading heads of unions, societies, etc.
and the peoples are all enraptured.
There are 60,000 coloret péraons in
Santiago, and it 12 our desire that the
movement should be well understood
by them, 20 I have taken out 1,000
coples of the firat lasue for circulation
in Santiago with the intention of tak-
Ing out 9,000 copies more for circu
lution throughout the laland. The move-
mont has been well ostablished in this
sountr), but only among the Engllsh-
speuking peuple, as most of the lead-
crs in the island cannot bring the
necessary pressure to boar on the na-
lives I, therefore, verily believe that
in this way we shall get the necessary
Co-uperation which we seek.
Allow us to offer our congratulations
on the success of the convention, trust-
Ing that the Great Jehovah will spare
your life to enjoy the frulte of your
labor in secing the redemption of our
motherland Africa.
Respectfully yours,

The Happenings
During the course of thelr converas-
Mon they saw these four white Loys
walking up to them. One of the voy
had a long stick In hia hand. These
ladies paid absolutely no attention 10
these buys, who, they thought, were
unly passing. Very surprisingly to Mies
Camfbell abe felt that ahe was struck
hy the boy with the eame stick frum
dehind, the stick was eight feet long,
4nd the doy tried to get the stick be-
tween her legs. She selzed ihe etirk
und the boys ran away
‘These ladies kept on talking, and a
few minutes later the boys were on
the scene again with uno-her stick. The
hwy who had the atick tn the prat case
had It also Im the second, and strict
attention was paid to bie attitude
Misa Campbell having keenly noticed
that they were cuming directly to the
vot where sho and her friends were
Aull atanding, made no attempt to
throw the atlck. she was, however,
forced to throw 1t, owing to the prov-
veations and threata of these boys.
‘They (the boys) started to run, when
the one who carried the atick fell down.
causing two wounds, une unt the fure-
head and tho other near to (2.0 mouth.
A noise next was heard, and very
quickly the telephones between Santi-
ago and “Vista Alero” wore set to call
all the urmed forces to take charge of
Misa Campbell Fortunately, only
about one-half came for her
The boy died on the way to Emer-

sence: 1 have been kept informed uf
the status of the division through a

and do it boldly. It in apparent that
there wil be significance of unbalanced
minds among you during the reading
of the latter clause of this letter, which
shall be Indicated through the spirit

Under such clreumstunces Mm com-

Wut rather that you be valiant and
courageous in your aspiration for Afri-

‘Tha severance of individuals by the
fron hand of death. or the departure by
Yand and sea, shoud not retard the
progress of any organization, but
rather that the spirit of a “Cromwell”
be manifested # as to maintain the
dignity of the “league.” I thank you
very tuch for the kind support you
gave me during the periog of my ad-
aminigtration among you. It shall be

he mpoke of how we could bo cunvertmd

conversion was, Ho sald It wan to turn
around, and the thing for tho Negro to
do wus to turn from that old Uncly
‘Tom's way and follow the man who
had tho vision of the day, Who Is he”
He is the Hon Marcus Garvey, the
| Uod-ront inan, a leader of a great peo-
ple
Ho spoke of the different nays we
could improve ourselves, and one of the
things was time First be on time and
bo ready to do what you find to do in
the organization. Many other things
he said in the uy of improvement
that the hearers seemed to grasp with
glad hearts.
‘Then came @ paper reading by Mre

She spoke of the different things that
love would do, and how our division
would grow and help push the program
over the top. She also said If all would
baget love there could be no strife
among us
‘The vice-president then presented
the president, C NM. Winbush, who fret
sang the song, “I Will Ovorcome Some
Day.” The meaning of that song was
the U.N. L A. will overcome some day.
‘But Uke others he spoke of one who
knew no defeat. It was himecit that
‘was determined that if in servitude no
defeat would come.
‘His subject was taken from the first
chapter of Ecclesiastes, the latter part
of the ninth verse. He spoke in a calm
voloe. He sald we wanted mea like
Mordecai, who would stand for hie peo-
ple, though it seemed that death await-
e4 him. And women like Esther, who
said “If I perish I will perish before
the king.” When we can become a
Peoplé that ts willing to die for our-
selves and our younger ones we will
overcome.
He spoke of how the white men
tell of how their fathers shed blood
that they may hold supremacy, and
why not let it be sald of our children
that we have reclaimed Africa, that
thay may euperrens and supervise as

Fellow Members of the Negro Race:
Why not support your own industries and help to find em-
ployment for your Race? | |
Every penny or every dollar you spend with the Universal
Negro Improvement Association helps to strengthen the financial
standing of the Race The more you patronize your,own enter-
rises the more will we be able to employ more members of our
Race. Already we employ about five thousand Negroes all over
America and about four thousand abroad. In New York alone,
we employ over two hundred.
If you expect the race to grow financially; if you expect the
race to become economically independent; if you expect the race
to be respected generally; 1f you expect us to run more factories
and operate more enterprises; if you expect us to employ more
Negroes: then you must support the enterprises we have already
started. -
The following enterprises are now operated by the Universal

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT SAYS MAN IS MADE OF ELECTRICITY

INDON. Sept 24—By the liberation of the atom man may some day under his control a force which perform for him the entire work he world, but if it gets beyond control it may blow the earth and its inhabitants to anthereons. Dr. of Cambridge said in a lecture recently before the members he British Association. But the icees of such a catastrophe are totally negligible he explained.

hensibly large number of electrical particles clustering together. If these particles could be liberated and controlled, they would provide vastly more power than would be needed to run all the machinery that man ever could devise.
"Prof Rutherford," said Dr. Aston, "succeeded in arranging a collision between the central portions of two atoms. The result was the transmutation of the atoms into entirely different forms of matter.
The possibility of such transmutation on any scale is of enormous importance. If the amount of hydrogen which goes to constitute a tablespoonful of water were transmuted into helium the energy liberated would be 200,000 kilowatt hours—one-seventh of the total amount of electricity used in London in a day for lighting and power purposes.
"The possibility has been discussed," said Dr Aston, that this energy, when first liberated, would be out of human control. In that case, if all the hydrogen or earth were detonated into space the successful experiment would be published throughout the entire universe as the birth of a new star. The probability of this catastrophe," added Dr Aston, "is practically negligible."—New York Evening Post
WHAT IS A MIRACLE?
We are all interested in miracles. That is to say, we are all interested in the supernatural. That is to say, we are all interested more or less in anything we do not understand and for which we cannot give a reason. All of the progress mankind has made is unable to this inquisitiveness for which the forces among the ancient are most noted. They were all the one trying to find something new. When they did not understand they would shrag their shoulders and say, We will inquire of this matter. It is a very good trait in the character of any people.
In answer to our article "Has the Age of Mirrors Passed?" published in our issue of October 5, Professor William H. Ferris, the literary editor of The Negro World, in the issue of October 14, discusses the subject at length and with much show of book information. But we do not see that he has in the least added to or taken from the portion we maintained in our article. A far as we are concerned, he reduces the matter to a definition of the miraculous and cites several Home for instance, the famous critic of Christianity described a miracle as a招亲 of a law of nature by a particular solution of the Dety or the interruption of some invisible event." Channing, the great Umanitarian, defines miracles as being the acts and manifestations of a Spiritual Power in the universe superior to the powers and laws of matter." Professor Ferris says that what we set forth as physical miracles are not what we commonly regard as miracles for what the theologians and philosophers debated about in the nineteenth century.
All this may be very true, but does not affect our position in the least. The only difference in the physical creations produced by the spiritual power of man and the creations of the Creator Himself is simply this, that in the beginning the supposition is that out of nothing God created everything that is, and that man creates all the physical wonders we have enumerated out of matter which he did not create. That is to say God created everything out of nothing and man creates whatever he does create out of something created by God in the beginning
Everything that has life in it, and everything with blood in it, has life in it, has spirit in it. Where there is no spirit or life there is death of spirit. As a sufficient example, a tree has life and thereto blood. Make an incision in its body and it will bleed. Make an incision sufficiently comprehensive and the tree will die. It is the same with the human body. When life goes out spirit goes out.
In discussing this matter our main object is to show that there is nothing impossible with man in creating out of the material which he finds everywhere anything which may be of service to mankind and much that is positively not of service. This fact leads men to undertake inventions of all sorts in mechanics and to attain to all sorts of perfection in the arts, in sciences, and in literature. It is inspiration of the hope grasped by supermen of the race to accomplish all wonders which we regard as miracles in their origin. We can all, therefore, take heart of hope in the particular line of our genius and progressively create new things out of the material we have for our own benefit and the benefit of mankind.—Negro Daily Times.

SIKI, WILLS and DEMPSEY
Since Skii beat Carpentier the old eternal argument flashes up again. In the black man more of a brute than the white man and therefore a better fighter? One Dempsey is the champion fighter of the world, and he is a white man, and this Dempsey, from appearance, is a lower type of humanity than either Skii or Harry Wills, another great black fighter. Dempsey has a beetle brow and a forehead like neo-litho specimens of man. His eyes glare like those of the jungle tiger. His head sits down on his shoulders with very little neck. He has all the earmarks of primitive man. Skii and Wills both have high foreheads. Wills' features are almost aquiline and his profile Grecian. Skii speaks five languages and plays the piano as well as Carpentier. Yet Wills and Skii are said to be lower in the scale of human development than Dempsey and his fellows. What about this Mr Brisbane?—Chicago (II) Whip.
AFRICA'S MOUNTAINS
The mountains of South Africa, although they do not rival in altitude the ranges in many other parts of the world, yet present great opportunities to the climmer and this fact has been the cause of the rise of enthusiastic mountaineering clubs. The South African system is divided into one plateau after another by definitely marked chains. Proceeding practically due south from Van Rhynsdorp to the Hex River are the following ranges Giftberg, Nardouw Cederbergen and Cold Bokkeveldt. From the river they run east and finish near Port Elizabeth. To the north of these mountains is the Little Karron, the southern boundary of which is the Zuurbergen, and on the north lie the Roggervoldbergen, Nieuveldtbergen and the Sneeuwbergen ranges.
South Africa, on the east, has a long strip of coastal land formed by the famous Drakenbergen, which veer away in a westerly direction and meet the Stormbergen. These ranges are not notable for many peaks of very great altitude, as the majority are less than 6,000 feet, but some of the summits tower over 10,000 feet.
Apart from mere height, these ranges present many rugged features which make some of the stiffest climbs in the world. Volcanic rock constitutes the highest peaks, and this rock has many cracks of an irregular type and is fine grained. The expansion of the water on these peaks, caused by freezing, splits the rocks, and the result gives to the Drakenberg Range an appearance of needles.
Another most interesting and quite unique feature of the mountains of South Africa are the traces of the drawings of the Bushmen, a shy, pygmy race forever on the move, whose great object is to conceal themselves. The race is very low in civilization, and has been bracketed with the Australian aboriginal as being the least advanced of all the races of the world. In spite of the lowly place occupied by the Bushmen, in the estimation of scientists the drawings which have been discovered show that they have certain rude leanings toward art. Owing to the Bushmen's instinct to hide himself, his drawings and paintings are usually found in the most wild and inaccessible parts of South Africa and are mostly discovered on the surfaces of rocks and at the backs of caves. Only some fifty years ago these pygmies occupied the Drakenberg and Maluti ranges, but now they have trekked far away to the Nama-qualand Desert — Christian Science Monitor
CONGRESS COWARDLY. THUNDERS DAWES
Ex-Budget Director Says House Has Deteriorated Under Primary Law—Cabinet Officers "Comanches" at Spending Money—Billions Could Have Been Saved, He Asserts
---
Billions of dollars would have been saved during the war had there been a business staff superimposed to coordinate government financial affairs, according to Brig-Gen. Charles G. Dawes, who spoke last night at a dinner of the New York City committee of the National Budget Committee. He told of his work while serving as director of the budget.
He praised President Harding, but said that Cabinet officers were "Commandees" when it came to spending money, and that Congress was filled with "cowards" who would "barter the interests of their country to stay in office."
Gen. Dawes, whose emphatic utterances won him the nickname of "Hell and Marla," told his audience that he lost the art of moderate speaking when he went to France. Brushing aside attempts of other speakers to cullize him, he plunged into his subject.
He had found that the trouble with government expenditures had been that "everybody did as they damned pleased," he said. There were the Cabinet officers, "entitled to be dignified" but in the business organization of govern nent nothing but vice-president managers who had to take their places. They were put in their places, he said, by the assumption of business responsibilities by the President.
Says Harding "Waved the Axe"
"He waved the axe," said Gon. Dawes, "and said that if anybody didn't co-operate his head would come off." There had been many who didn't want to co-operate, Mr. Dawes said.
"If the President had frowned once at the mention of my name, in thirty days they would have torn my organization to pieces. You don't know how President Harding was threatened with a revolt because of this imposition of central control. You don't see any of that in the paper. I tell you that the Cabinet officers are the natural enemies

GARVEY'S CALL TO ARMS
The Hon. Marcus Garvey is using some plain language these days in the current issues of the Negro World. His latest deliverance under date of October 7 charges that rival enemy organizations are marshaling their forces against the mighty movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and will aid in the prosecution in the United States court against him, which case will soon come to trial. He asserts that we are bankrupt in race leadership. We are of the opinion that the whole world just now is bankrupt is competent leadership. Certain it is that the Congress of the United States furnishes a most remarkable evidence that the United States is bankrupt in white leadership.
The labor unions of the country have demonstrated that they are lacking in leadership. Demagogues of every type are in evidence in high places. We have been of the opinion that Marcus Garvey and his movement have been generally misunderstood by the upper class of colored people. He is not a citizen of the United States. He claims that this is a white man's government and that the Negro has no part or parcel in this government. He is correct in this for the Constitution of the United States does not recognize Negroes as a part of this government
It recognizes American citizens as a part and parcel of the government, and when the citizen of African descent who was born here, instills upon his rights and privileges under the aforesaid Constitution he is within his rights. Hon Marcus Garvey is an advocate of Negroism in its entirety. He wants to build up an empire or a republic in Africa, with all the power of the present governments which now control the civilized world. He is preaching the gospel of discontent which gospel rallies to his banner thousands of dissatisfied black people throughout the civilized world. Mr Garvey realizes and knows that the revolution must be started among Negroes who have been blessed by civilization. He knows that a full realization of his hopes cannot be brought about during his lifetime.
But what about the tens of thousands of citizens of color who hold lightly the racial characteristics and movements? These are the ones who are antagonizing the Garvey movement for the reason that Negro-hating white people are using the Garvey declarations to justify the racial discriminations which are antagonistic to the fundamental principles of the republic itself. This produces a most embarrassing situation. We had hoped that these classes would agree to disagree that no death fight, so to speak, would take place between them. As the matter now stands, Marcus Garvey is calling his followers to arms against the powerful movement which is gaining momentum in this country against his progenanda.
We are still of the opinion that a basis of mutual understanding can be reached, by which each title may pursue its own course in peace. The citizen of color with American citizenship sealed with the blood of his fellow knows no flag but the Stars and Stripes. He has suffered in silence and is still suffering. Will he renounce his American citizenship and follow the colors of the red black and green. This is the question and the revolution which the Hon. Marcus Garvey is fomenting may result in the consummation of a hope existing in the increase of some black leaders many centuries ago — The Richmond Planet
of the united business control of the government."
He told of 200,000 brooms lying idle in the army while the navy wanted to buy 18,000 brooms rather than take army brooms that were wrapped with wire instead of string." In this and other matters he had trouble in getting the information he wanted from the chief of operation of the navy, who said he believed he was doing his duty by the country in not giving it.
Tian. Dawes told him that he was primarily a subordinate of the President of the United States. "Either you get out of office or I do." said the general. "I got the information, and the opinion of the President was found to conform to the opinion of the chief of operations minus $10,000,000."
He found that he had to deal with the chiefs of bureauz who had a far better technical knowledge of affairs than the Cabinet officers, and by lightening it out with the representatives of the departments who were must closely associated with expenditures the Cabinet was "short-circled."
Speaking of Congress, he said:
"I wish some one of the young men here would start out to call a spade a spade, and take his successive likings at the hands of the political bosses. I can promise him a career of statesmanship, the only career worthy of an honest man's ambition. Look what the direct primary law has done to Congress. Read the roster of Congress and think what the names meant twenty-five years ago, and read it today. Pusillanimous follow!" He warned that no budget law would be any good unless there was an executive in power capable of enforcing it. He said that Illinois had a good budget law that had saved the State many expenditures under Gov. Dowden, but that under Gov. small "taxes and expenditures had gone up until there isn't a State worse administered than Illinois." "New York Evening Post

WARNS OF PLANS

HON. VERNAL WILLIAMS SPEAKS
Hon. Vernal Williams said: I am happy to be with you again tonight and lend a few humble thoughts and give forth a few humble expressions in the way of moving forward in the great movement of ours. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, like most movements that attempt to benefit mankind, like most vehicles that have for their goal the progress of humanity, from time to time calls forth a critic not because there is an inherent evil in the movement itself, not because there may be any inherent flaw in the program, but because attacking that which attracts the greatest attention of the human mind, those who attack usually attract to themselves a part of the attention which the attacking object attains.
There are others who yesterday preached the doctrine of advancement association, there are some who preached the doctrine of anti-lynching, there are some who preached the doctrine that it is better to fight lynching here in the home where the lynching takes place than to create a mighty government force that could fight lynching more effectively. Then they overnight changed their mode of attack and are devoting themselves toward fighting the Universal Improvement Association. Is it more profitable to fight the doctrine of Garvoylam than it is to fight the battlers of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People?
There are others who delegate their attention to the art of pedagogy. They were professors and deans of the past, they called themselves leaders of the Negro educational movement, but they turned their backs upon the classroom and began to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Can they?
Earn More Fighting the U. N. I. A. than they did as the professor of a classroom. Those are the questions that confront us tonight and it is for us to say whether we will submit to the propaganda of those panhundlers or whether we are going to carry on the walk that we took up—the program from which we have not wavered
I was speaking to a gentleman the other day; and he said to me, 'Your association will be all right—you would achieve a great deal more, but the trouble is you are not business-like.' I said to him, 'Your criticism would be all right—your words would have some weight, but you are not competent to judge because you have not been in business, you are not in business now and you show no sign of going into business, how can you talk about (business)' (Applause) The
former exponents of the Socialist party say: "We have a program and we have a way by which you can redeem Africa," but all these years they have preached Socialism and they forgot Africa until Marcus Garvey began to preach the doctrine of Africa for the Africana. Today they say, "We have got a plan to redeem Africa." Where is the sincerity? Where is the competency of those men to talk? We cannot pay any attention to them because there is not an agitator, there is not a Socialist, there is not a dean, there is not a professor, there is not a preacher who can say that when a man tries to earn his bread and butter out of the works of other men by sheer destructive criticism he is anything short of a more panhandler. The worst insect in society, the greatest disgrace in society the worst renegade in society is a man who seeks an opportunity to make his living in a disheart way off a man who is building, and that is why thoughtful Americans are paying no attention to those men who are attacking the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because they find that they are men who are trying to rise at the expense of a man who is building

This doctrine of the consolidation of black men the world over is impregnable. This doctrine of Africa for the Africans is invulnerable. There can be no argument adduced to defeat this one fact that the Negro should have a government of his own. When you hear a man criticize the Universal Negro Improvement Association ask him: "Do you think that the Negroes of the world should have a powerful government like the Japanese, like the Frenchmen, like the Anglo-Saxon, like the German?" and he will be bound to admit they should. This doctrine of government for black men cannot be beaten, and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association tonight is fighting the storms of criticism in spite of the lashing of the waters against the mighty ship of state, in spite of the fact that from time to time the lightning may flash across the path. That is why tonight we are going strong, because humanity accepts that those who are ruled should have a voice in the government that rules them. Humanity throughout the world expects that the black man, like any other man, should determine his own governmental and political destiny, and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to stay; that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association can never be obliterated from the existence of the Negro or of the world because its principles are right; its doctrines are right; because the Negro's highest mundane hope can be no other than consolidation of the groups the world over and formation into a government that will dictate the policies of the world as far as the Negro is concerned.
Not only in this country; not only from Maine to the golden gates of California, not only throughout the islands of the sea; not only in Europe; not only in the far off Pacific is the doctrine invulnerable, but even that black
soothing mass of on, people over there in what the white man calls the dark continent—even they have got hold of this new doctrine; even they have seen this new star of hope, and behind the leadership of Marcus Garvey, behind the Red, the Black and the Green they are prepared to uphold the arms of this great movement and some day realize the great dream of Africa for the Africana. (Applause.)

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922
POINTED PARAGRAPHS FROM 'THE WORLD' AS IT IS
A SILVER TREE SERVICE CELEBRATED AT MARCANE, DIVISION NO.267, CUBA A SPECTACULAR PROGRAM ARRANGED
By MARCUS GARVEY In The Negro Daily Times
Edward F Cassidy, candidate for Governor on the Socialist ticket, was very much disappointed last Sunday when he appeared at the old Palace Casino, at 136th street and Madison avenue. He expected to find a large crowd of Negroes to greet him as the future governor of the State of New York. He believed that Randolph and Owen the two Socialist representatives among Negroes in Harlem were able to deliver the goods they promised. I suppose Cassidy was informed that there were thousands of Negroes in Harlem who were members of the Socialist party made so by the scholarly twins. His disappointment was that of man) and especially those who have been reading the white newspapers for the last thirty days. A great deal has been said in these papers about large meetings being held in Harlem by Randolph and Owen in opposition to Marcus Garvey, but the public falls, as well as Cassidy to realize that these two leisurely young men never got more than a dozen people together when they advertise "Marcus Garvey" as a headliner. They failed to do that last Sunday) therefore no body paid any attention to them, as usual Randolph, it is understood indulged in the customary abuse of Marcus Garvey when he was called upon to speak. The young man must keep himself in the public eye and earn his keep while running after the job of Secretary of State for the State of "Nowhere" and abusing Marcus Garvey is a very cheap but easy way of doing it.
David Lloyd George has joined the fight to retain himself as Premier of Great Britain. He wants to hold on as head of the government. This means that somebody will be knocked out in order, because when George goes to battle he always comes out the winner. There is no man in Britain strong enough to stand up to the political punch of David Lloyd George. He has knocked out many of the strong men of the empire, and from present indications he will hold his place as master of the game. You may hate David because of his policy, but you have to admire him for his strength of character.
Japan has been very quiet during the past few months. We have not heard from her. That means that she is studiously observing what is going on Japan is no fool. She spent a good deal of her time during the war of 1914-1918 observing the strength of the op posing sides, then she went in, and
Sunday October 1 will long be remembered among the members and friends of this division of the U. N L A. when they were cordially entertained by the ladies of the division by a silver tree service. At 2:30 p. m. the spacious hall was crowded when the president Mr Charles Francis, sounded the gavel and called the meeting to order. The opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," was sung, followed by prayer by the chaplain, Mr J. Warner, after which the president in his ever fine style introduced as chairman for the evening Mr J Plummer, associate secretary. The gentleman informed the gathering as to the cause of the meeting, it being to assist the Black Cross Nurses in accumulating funds to procure their banner, books and other necessities
Turning to the program, the audience was entertained with an anthem by the choir, "Hoosanna," which was sung in fine style. Mr D Gallimore was called upon for an address. He took for his topic "Race Pride." He spoke of the equilibrium of our women to those of other races; through the ambitions of the women of other races they have gained the respectability of their men and are highly esteemed, and if our women will but follow their examples, eschew all allens, and cling to their own men, surely they, too, shall be placed on the same standard as the other women. He gave a brilliant address and was well applauded. A duet by Mrs. M. Noble and Miss E. Burton was sung, "Hear My Prayer." After this the chairman called the attention to the unveiling of the tree. This tree was painted with silver paint and decorated with crotona, creepers and roses. The tree had four sprouts which were covered with the following colors Red, yellow, blue and green. The ladies representing the colors were respectively Mrs. M. Saltera, R. Johnson, Mrs. P. Smith, and Miss I. Richards. Bags to each color were made to hold the fruits of the tree.
During the picking of the fruit gentlemen were appointed to give special addresses. The gentlemen were Mosra. R. T. Webley, C. Franois, H. A. Gilroy and J. Warner. Mr. Wobley, representing the Red, took for his address laih, chapter 43, verses 5 and 6. The gentleman spoke of the scattering and regathering of the Ethiopian race; the power they were prior to their scattering; the manner in which they lived during their segregated period and what they will be when they again assimilate to manhood and womanhood. In an assuming manner he pointed out the ausidious rising of the Ethiopian star. The gentleman spoke enthusiastically, and at the close of his address was warmly applauded. A selection "The Future Lies Before Me."
when she came out it was with all she expected. Since then there have been great changes. Whenever she moves again it will mean a better understanding. Japan is sly very sly.
The white Socialists of New York are a smart set of fellows. To catch the ear of the colored man and to win the race a favor for fair play they have nominated Randolph on their ticket as a candidate for Secretary of State. These Socialists know that Randolph has not the ghost of a chance being elected as junior at the State House much less Secretary of State. If the time ever comes for a Socialist to be elected Secretary of State or to any high office, you can bet no colored man will be on the ticket at that time. This is a smart way of catching colored people but all of us are not fools
If the colored public only knew how disheath and dishonorable the average colored newspaper man is in running his paper it would not pay any attention to what he writes in his little weekly. Ninety per cent of what is written up and given as news has been paid for. If you want to say something against John Brown whether it is true or not the colored newspaper man will print it for you so long as you slip him a dollar. The present fraternity of colored newspaper men will make Jesus look like a swindler and the devil like Michael the Archangel." If you will pay 50 cents a line to do it. If you desire the truth, believe the opposite of what you read in 90 per cent of the colored newspapers published.
Someone is betting that Randolph the Negro Socialist nominee for Secretary of State, will poll 25 votes among the colored people in Harlem. This is a very generous estimate of his popularity. The other fellow thinks he will only poll two votes—his and that of his twin brother. It is to laugh as the French say.
Chandler Owen advertises that he will make his final thrust at Marion Garvey in New York on Sunday October 15, after which he will leave on a campaign through the Central West to drive out Garvey and Garveyism. This young man really thinks the public takes him serious. He and his pal announced over a month ago that they were to drive Garvey, and Garveyism out of New York. They have had a long time to do it, but Garvey is still here, and "Garveyism" is firmer than it ever was. "Garveyites" in New York do not pay attention to irresponsible folks like Randolph
was rendered by Mrs R Johnson and Mr J Cox
Mr C Francis, representing the Yellow, spoke from Isaiah, chapter 42, verse 3. He gave a full exposition of God a promise to the Negroes, the great awakening of the slumbering nations and the irresistible forces they are coming with. He spoke of the various conferences of the white race to establish a state of peace chemically in order to fill the chasms they have made in exposing themselves in the war of 1914-18, but said he, "Not until all mankind be justified their shall and will be no peace on this earth." The audience was spellbound from his oratory address, and he took his seat under a thunder of applause. A solo, 'Praise Ye the Lord,' was rendered by Mrs M Noble, followed by an anthem 'On a choir.' Seek Ye the Kingdom of Heaven.'
Mr H A. Gilroy, representing the Blue, spoke on the fulfillment of God's promises to the Negro race. He pointed out the ancient glory of Ethiopia, her downfall and oppression and her rising power. In part he said "The Negro who cannot realize the power of this movement is yet blind to himself, his God and all mankind." He made a special appeal to the ladies in keeping close to their pledges in fostering the good and moral principles of the U N I A, so that in the near future they may help to plant the flag of the awakened race in Africa, our Fatherland. He was heartily cheered.
Then followed a solo "Our Fatherland," by Mrs. Johnson, and an address by Mr R Scariett. In his speech he pointed out the great aspirations of Negroes through the emphatic power of the U N I A and said that though some of the learned culprits in their choleric manner criticise the movement, nevertheless, irrespective of their sayings, the movement is marching on like a mighty avalanche and will ever be strong as the rock of Gibraltar, never to fall until Africa is redeemed. (Applause)
Mr. J Warner, representing the Green, spoke of the Creation and showed how man was made to domicile the earth and woman as helpmate to stand by his side. In his ironic manner he spoke of the genial proxy of our womanhood that of allon, and pointed out that as other men of races esteemed their women, we too must do the same, because they are the flowers of the race and in their cooperative working lies the embryo of an emancipated Africa. He was applauded. Solo by Mrs. L. Philippe Lady First Vice-President of the Cayo Mambi Division, "Glory to God," which was rendered in fine style. Song by
and Owen Somebody says. "If Owen goes to the Central West he may not be back in November, as he anticipates, unless somebody takes up a collection for him to defray his traveling expenses. It is most likely that he will be stranded or run out of town. New York will not be responsible for what happens to Owen in the Central West."
I have been told that a certain group of Negro uplifters who are organized as some sort of an Advancement Association are opposed to the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which organization seeks to improve the condition of the Negro through his own initiative. This is not to be wandered at, because the Universal Negro Improvement Association teaches Negroes to love and respect themselves as also to develop a society of their own. This Advancement Association spoken of, to the contrary, is organized as a medium by which certain colored men can meet white women and certain white gentlemen can meet colored ladies. They meet at pink teas" and card parties" Have you ever been invited to any of these pink teas" The doctor sends out the invitation and sometimes the parson from Detroit and now and again—well, the late ambassador to Haiti.
---
It appears from reports that several anti-Garveyites have been whipped in different parts of the country for attempting to deceive the public in their campaign against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It has been reported that one man is stranded in New Orleans, where he went to preach Garvey must go. Pickens escaped being stranded in Toronto the other day by scraping together $20 for his return expenses. One man was run out of Philadelphia, another out of Wilmington Del., and still another out of Cleveland, a couple of days ago. The anti-Garveyites are not succeeding very well, nor are they very happy.
The most ungody fellow is the preacher who has fallen from grace. This being true, what about the preacher from Detroit who is now attached to the Association for the Advancement of Colored People? Why, somebody says, he was run out of town for flirting with too many women. If that did happen in Detroit, what may happen in New York? Well in Detroit he flirted with colored women. In New York he may try to flirt with white ones. He may not get away with it so easily in New York as in Detroit, because even in New York an attempt has been made to lynch for insulting white indies. Parson look out, the wolves are on your trail
the choir, "Sweet Sabbath Bells" Address by Mr R N Anderson, who spoke of the rising "Tide of Color" He showed that within a few more years the Negroes shall stand in rivalry to the Caucasian race as the Japanese are today. He asked the parents to educate the boys and girls, so that they on whom lies the future destiny of the race may not be found wanting in the different arts and literatures of modern days. He spoke emphatically and was cheered at the close of the address.
Duet by Miss I. Richards and Mr R. Bearlett, Saviour, Lead Me Address by Mr D. Barth who in a powerful manner spoke of the divinity of God and asked for steadfastness in the doctrines and principles of Jesus Christ. His address, which was very encouraging, was cordially received. At this juncture the chairman declared the evening program closed in order that the friends may be in time for the regular mass meeting "The National Anthem was sung, followed by the benediction"
At 15 p.m the regular mass meeting was called to order. The opening ode was sung, "From Greenland" & "Ete." The chaplain, Mr J. Warner, officiated in the divine part of the service and in his address implored the steadfastness of his hearers in the universal principles of the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man." The president, Mr Chas Francis, gave an encouraging address.
Among the many speakers of the evening was Mrs. L. Phillips of the Cayo Mambi Division. She gave an interesting and inspiring address when she earnestly appealed to the ladies not to get weary in the work before them until the colors of the Red, Black and Green be strewn in Africa and a government under Negroes' sole management be established.
A very fine time was spent and at the close of the meeting all members and friends left for their homes, filled with more determination to work for the freedom of Africa.
The program for the mass meeting was as follows:
Opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountain."

THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1922
La Juventud de la Raza Negra Esta Cansada de los Mono-Sabios
En los poco meses que tenemos de estar organizando en San Juan una Division de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra nos han salido en el camino una partida de "mono-sabios" de nuestra raza criticando de una manera severa nuestra buena labor Estos sefiores que no conocen el gran fin que perseguimos ni tienen mucho interés en conocerlo, con tratarse de una obra de su propia raza, nos dican que esta asociación no tiene razon de ser aquí, que vemos a dividir la raza, que engendremos el odio, que estamos locos y otras necesadas mas.
Los Estadistas de Europa Confirman Actualmente las Manifestaciones Hechas Por Nuestra Organización Hace Algunos Años—Los Pueblos Negros del Universo Tienen Que Unirse Para Contrarrestar la Nueva Avalanche de Destrucción Que les Amenaza
Nos tomaremos la molestia de decirles por centesima vez, que la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha sido fundada con el único proposito de unir en sentimiento y en acción a todos los Negros del mundo sin distinción de nacionalidades. Es pues una organización social, amistosa, humanitaria, educacional, digna de que todo elemento de ideas progresistas le preste su mas decidida adhesion y ayuda.
Los grandes estadistas del viejo continente van admitiendo gradualmente la verdad de las manifestaciones hecha por nuestra organización hace algunos años, de que otras guerras se desarrollarian las cuales finalmente destruirian muchos de los imperios y naciones existentes y que Alemania se levantaría de nuevo con mayor fuerza y poder, los cuales serían casi irresistibles.
Desde la reciente rotura de relaciones entre Turquía y las naciones aliadas, algunos de los grandes estadistas de Europa han hecho manifestaciones que al pie de la letra concuerdan con las profesas de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. El General Ludendorff de Alemania, en una entrevista con un representante de la prensa americana manifestó lo siguiente: Gran Bretana ha cometido dos graves errores al sacrificar su escuadra y al dar la libertad a Irlanda. Ella aun no ha podido apreciar el que los canadienses y australianos no han de responder a su llamada como lo hicieron en la última contragración universal. Grandes contingentes cruzarán de nuevo el océano, pero eso será todo.
Vamos a delinear los propósitos fundamentales que persigue "The Universal Negro Improvement Association ha sido fundada para establecer la confraternidad universal entre los elementos de la raza, para levantar el verdadero espiritu de amor y amistad, para ayudar al caido; ayudar a civilizar las tribus atrasadas de Africa; ayudar al desorrolo de las nacionalidades independientes compuestas de negros, nombrar comisionados y establecer agencias en los principales paises y ciudadas del mundo para la representación y protección de la raza, sin distinción de nacionalidades, difundir el verdadero espiritu cristiano entre las tribus africanas, establecer universidades, colegios, academias y escuelas para la educación de la raza y el bienestar del género humano; establecer alrededor del mundo un completo desenvolvimiento de todas las comunidades donde sus miembros son de sangre negra.
En el curso de su entrevista, Ludendorff puso enfasis a lo siguientes puntos America (refiriendose a los Estados Unidos) debiera atender a sus propias cuestiones. Alemania ha sido tratada abominablemente, pero el nuevo día de su reconocimiento esta próximo. El Imperio Británico e ta_grruimado, su caida es inminente y no ha de recuperar con la prontitud que Alemania recupera. Los horese están en el fondo de todos los desconciertos actuales.
Alrededor de estos principios gira la vida de la organización; es pues, algo de minifesta importancia para la raza de color. El que se oponga al desenvimiento de tan noble idea no puede decir que es amante del progreso sino que, por el contrario, esta dictando a todo pulmon que es un retrogado amante del estancamiento v de la inercia.
No selamente esta intelectualidad alemana, sino que también muchos otros capacitados de Europa participan de la misma opinión. Sabemos que mientras se cometan constancias con un grupo de la familia humana, habrá motivo de vucha y la guerra no cesará hasta que no se contribuya por igual a todas los pueblos del universo, la articula la liberada y la democracia. No nos vanagloriamos con la cesión del Imperio Británico o de cualquier otro imp. o no imp. pero si nos vanagloriamos con la caida de la injusticia y el predominio sobre los otros pueblos.
Nosotros tenemos que diferir de idea de los "mono-sabios". Ellos pueden seguir creyendo que estas ideas engendrarán odios, nosotros estamos seguros que nos trieran respeto y consideración de las demas razas. Ya que sois refractarios a ayudar al progreso de vuestra raza, ya que admitus ser negros entre los blancos y pretendeis ser blancos entre los negros, ya que no tenes el suficiente valor para compartir con nosotros la lucha, el sentido comun os debe decir que debeis dejar en paz a los que de buena fe queremos dar lo poco que tenemos por el engrandecimiento de nuestra noble raza.
Si el pueblo ingles se une con el objeto de reconstruir su propio impuesto nadie tendrá derecho a intervenir; pero si el mismo pueblo sale de su territorio para extender su imperio entre otros pueblos y otras razas, para robarles y explotarles alguien deberá poner coto a esa práctica arbitraria. Al ha sido por siglos y siglos la política de los poderes del viento continente. Europa se encuentra de nuevo en un estado de intranquilidad, la cual podrá resultar en su propio destrucción, ocasionada por las diferentes nacionales que la componen.
Si nuestros padres fueron lo suficiente candidos para confiar su suerte a otra raza, para encontrarnos how casi en el mismo sitio que hace 300 años nosotros no estamos dispuestos a imitarlos. Nosotros hemos ojeado la historia para encontrarnos con esta amarga verdad Que no ha existido ningún pueblo minguna raza que se haya ocupado de otra sino para esclavizarla y explotarla y estamos convencidos hasta la medula de que la redención del negro, obra tiene que ser del mismo negro
Gran Bretana y Francia contribuyeron en gran parte a la destrucción del Imperio Aleman, como recompensa, Alemania se prepara de nuevo para destruir no solamente a esta dos naciones, sino que también a tbdp pueblo ó nacion que trate de interponerse a la política que esta haya de seguir en el futuro. Del mismo modo que Alemania esta dispuesta a destruir a la Europa entera, los Indus, otros pueblos, oprimidos estan determinados a destruir el poder de sus opresores, con el propósito de aspirar un ambiente de libertad
Por esta razón nuestra juventud que esta despierta y sigue con ojos de aguila los acontecimientos contemporaneos y los peligros que se aproximan, viene presurosa todas las semanas para hacerse socio de la Universal Negro Improvement Association, haciendo caso omiso de los conceptos raquiticos de aus muchos anatematizadores
Porqué no ha de existir un reinado de confraternidad y amor entre los miembros de la gran familia humana? Porqué el Indu no ha de estrechar la mano al anglosajon su semejante? Porqué el anglo-sajon no ha de estrechar la mano al Negro, su semejante? Este deberia ser el espiritu de la humanidad en esta época de civilización. Tenemos que destruir el espíritu de avaricia que de día en dia germina en el sentimiento humano. Podremos reunirnos en millares de conferencias políticas, industriales, de desarme, etc. pero nada práctico hemos de obtener, hasta que convoquemos a una gran conferencia de hermandad, en donde todas las razas se reunan con el objeto de discutir la situación universal basándose en un principio de confraternidad. Entonces podriamos abrigar esperanzas de paz, de libertad y de prosperidad.
Mono-sabios, vuestra cooperación no es necesaria; nos seria muy útil pero ya que no quereis cooperar a vuestra propia causa, cerrad el pico

La Camara Alta de la Rep.
de Cuba Aprueba el
Empréstito
El anuncio de la aprobación por el senado cubano de la ley en que se autoriza el empréstito exterior de cincuenta millones de dólares para subvenir a las necesidades económicas y financieras de Cuba, sué recibido con gran satisfacción. Esta acción implica la realización del programa legislativo en que ha estado laborando el gobierno cubano por algunos meses a fin de vencer las dificultades que ha sufrido la república insular a consecuencia del descenso en los precios del axilur hace dos años y que determinó en el país una grave depresión en los negocios.
Alemania se prepara para la guerra; Rusia se prepara para la guerra; Asia se prepara para la guerra; Africa se prepara para la guerra. Otra conflagración se aproxima y la humanidad se vera de nuevo amenazada por desolación y muerte. Conceptuamos un deber, como miembros de una organización de nuestra raza, el preparar la mente de los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del mundo. Hemos de tomar parte en la evolución de estos acontecimientos, no como auxiliares, sino como un pueblo inteligente que por si propio se abre paço en el camino hacia su completa emancipación.
La camara de diputados cubana habla aprobado el proyecto de ley del empréstito una semana antes y convino en las enmiendas adoptadas después por el senado. La aprobación de esta medida,
junto con otras de gran importancia que se han adoptado recientemente por el congreso cubano, establecer las finanzas del gobierno y el crédito de Cuba bajo una base solida, opinión de funcionarios bien informados.
La legación de Cuba en Washington recibió cable del doctor Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, secretario de estado, anunció la aprobación del proyecto por el senado
Tienen entendido que el Dr Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, que todavía está accreditado como ministro de Cuba en los Estados Unidos, venga a Washington probablemente esta semana, para discutir con los funcionarios las relaciones entre los dos paises y posiblemente comenzar las negociaciones sobre el empréstito que obtendra Cuba.
Todavia no se ha anunciado si el doctor de Céspedes continuara en su puesto en la gabinete de Zayas, al cual fue designado recientemente, o si reanudara sus labores como ministro de Cuba en los Estados Unidos
Si bien no se ha hecho ninguna declaracion oficial, tienen entendido que el mayor general Crowder, que ha estado en la Habana como representante personal del presidente de los Estados Unidos en consulta con los funcionarios cubanos sobre las reformas legislativas necesarias, regresará también a Washington a celebrar una entrevista personal sobre la situación cubana
Desde que Crowder fue enviado a Cuba hace casi dos años por el entonces presidente Wilson, este gobierno ha expresado confianza en su capacidad para ayudar a los cubanos a la restauración de la normalidad en la laisa
La Colonia Dominicana de Esta Ciudad Conmemora el Dia del Descubrimiento de America
La colonia dominicana residente en Nueva York celebró con toda solemnidad una interesante y amena velada literaria-musical conmemorativa del Dia de la Raza y del dia felicisimo del hallazgo de los restos del insigne navegante Cristobal Colon, hecho historico ocurrido al lado derecho del altar mayor de la Basilica de Santa Maria, en la Republica Dominicana el dia 10 de Septiembre del año 1877.
La colonia dominicana, inspirada como siempre en su amor a la tradición gloriosa y dispuesta siempre a exaltar los hechos notables de su patria, combinó un programa por demás atractivo y variado en el que figuraron elocuentes discursos a cargo de renombrados oradores varios numeros de concierto que fueron del agrado de la distinguida concurencia que asistió a la fiesta de los dominicanos. La parte más saliente, fue sin duda alguna la apoteosis a Cristobal Colon, número cuidadosamente ensayado y que merecio los mas calurosos placemes por parte del auditorio.
Leste festival fue organizado por el comité patriotico de damas, por la representación política y obrera de la República Dominicana y por la junta hispanoamericana pro-Santo Domingo, de Nueva York
Un Faro Para Cristobal Colon
Cualquiera que sea el lugar preciso del territorio del hemisferio occidental que Colon avisto hoy hace 430 años, y donde quiera que sus restos esten de hecho sepultados hay méritos para la proposición de erección de un faro gigantesco como conmemoración del almirante en la isla de Santo Domingo. Ha habido hombres que han dedicado sus vidas al estudio de su existencia y muchos volumenes han sido escritos para probar puntos en disputa. Es probable que la verdad exacta no sea jamas conocida.
Que no hay todavía ningun monumento adecuado en su memoria, no obstante, no puede negarse. Queda por terminar la cuestion de qué emplazamiento debe darsele. Si el lugar exacto en que puso el pie por primera vez en el continente fuera conocido sin lugar a discusión, podria presentarse un buen argumento para escogerio como lugar en qué erigir el faro. Igualmente, también, si fuera indudable que sus restos todavía en la catedral de Santo Domingo, ese lugar podria ser escogido para el monumento. Pero ninguno de los dos puntos esta en claro. Por consiguiente, que por qué no guiarse por dos hechos que ya no se discuten; a saber, que en esa isla fundo Colón el primer pueblo europeo de América y que a ese pueblo fué traido su cuerpo a principios del siglo diecisels, compliantiendo su demanda, para reposar en la catedral de Santo Domingo?
Hay buenas bases para requerir que se erija un monumento alli. ¿Qué obsa más adecuada que el que tal monumento fuera un gigantesco faro, visible a distancia en el mar Caribe, la ruta que el indicó primero?
Comentarios de un Diario
Habanero Sobre el
Empréstito
El Mundo de la Habana hace sobre el empréstito el siguiente comentario: El empréstito de cincuenta millones de pesos, de haberse procedido con amplia visión desde los instantes en que conocida la quebra del tesor nacional urgia un remedio, de seguro que no hubiera sido preciso Lo ha hecho indispensable la apatía demostrada en ofrecer una formula cubana Conviene que la opcion publica lo sepa, para que no se diga que hay emprestro porque la per-durabilidad de la república asi lo exigia. En realidad se quiso que lo hubiera. No se explica de otra manera que se provocaran las medidas drásticas que han sacudido a la nacionalidad y que han dado una triste lección a los cubanos. Como no queremos que se apela al socio rizado argumento de las exigencias inevitables, es por lo que no consentiremos que el empleo del empréstito se haga en silencio. Es un dimero que paga el pueblo y el pueblo tiene que saber su inversion. Esa es la manera unica de que este sacrificio se accepte heronicamente con plena impunidad de los culpables

We, the officers and members of the New Bedford, Mass. division, wish to send to you this report for The Negro World.
When our division held a meeting September 10, we were favored at that time with a report from Mr. Joseph Williams the delegate sent to represent us at the convention held in New York. We were held spellbound by his excellent remarks and in our thoughts we could almost see ourselves present at that great convention.
Space will not allow me to quote here some of his remarks to us that Sunday afternoon but I wish to say he impressed us more clearly with a greater determination to press forward and be most worthy members of the U. N. I. A.
Sunday afternoon. October 1. our meeting was opened by the president about 4 p.m. and we were favored by a piano solo by Miss Dorothy Haddock and also one by Miss Princila Groves.
The principal speaker of the afternoon was Dr Osbourn of the Brooklyn Division, U N L A., and his subject was "Principles and Objects of the U N L A."
He read a message sent to the convention from the King of Abysinia by a representative of his present at the New York convention.
We must feel our self-government, our own flag, and realize we have power to think.
We must follow the Hon. Marcus Garvey because he has exercised his reason for his race.
After the address President Oliver Groebn made a few stirring remarks and spoke about the defense fund and submitted papers concerning the same. Our chaplain, Rev. Barbour, also gave us a short address. Always remember, we, as members of this New England division are also glad to hear from strangers that visit our city if they are members of the U N. I. A., because everyone gives us renewed courage to continue in our struggle to do our part toward a Redeemed Africa and we wish only success for the Hon. Marcus Garvey in his work for the better development of the U N. I. A. all over the world. We are in hopes of favoring you with a more stirring report of happenings in our "Whaling City" in the near future. Respectfully submitted, OLIVER GROEBE, President. CHAS. TIMBER, Secretary. LENA FORTES, Reporter.

ECHOES OF THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL
CONVENTION OF NEGROES—TRINIDAD
KEEPS THE HOME FIRES BURNING
For thirty-one days and nights of the
month of August the members, friends
and well-wishers of the Port-of-Bpain
Division of the Universal Negro Im-
provement Association have feasted at
the tabie of cratory and worshipped the
god of literature.
ip conformity with tbe program of
the convention the president of the
Port-of-Spain Division, through the in-
atigation of the Commissioner, decided
Ubat meetings should be held every
night during the month of August. and
& few days prior to the opening of the
convention the second largest hall in
‘Ube city was secured and preparations
made for a convention drive.
Under the distinguished chairman-
ship of the Hon P L. Burrows, Com-
mimioner, the Port-of-Spain Division
for this month has succeeded to writ-
tng another brilliant page in the book
ef history and records of the Universal
Megro Improvement Association.
‘The opening day was e remarkable
ene, for, gathering from early in the
afternoon, members and friends met at
Liberty Hall, which was beautifully
@ecorated with the fags of all nations,
ssture also contributing greatly to en-
bance the beauty of the decorations,
and bold a rally day.
From about seven o'clock, however,
tBings took a more brilliant aspect, for
within the space of half an hour the
tall was literally packed, and there
‘were over « thousand persone present.
Evulogistic speeches in honor of His
Beoellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey, were
delivered, addresses lifting the Uni-
versa! Negro Improvement Association
Into the ethereal regions came from the

convention, which were mupported by
@ telegram to the effect, made the
opening night # history within a his-
tory.
Tho Commissioner's opening address
for the convention was a tribute and 1s
worthy of being placed alongside those
of Demosthenes and Cicero for elo-
quence and Danie] Webster and Pat-
rick Henry for patriotism.
Bvery night for the rest of the month
the Commissioner delivered addresses
on the various subjects supposed to be
discussed at the convention.
His lucidity of expression, bis beau-
Ufal array of detailed argument, dis-
play of intellectual ability in the satis-
factory dlecussion of the different
questions without previous study, his
witticlais which kept the audience
Uvely, and last but not least his ear-
Restness of manner all brought home

{t would be impossible to tear them-

‘This was also the occasion for a test!-
mony meeting, for nearly every mem-
der testified as to the good the organ-
faation bad done for him or her and
what they belived it would accomplish
for the 400,900,000 Negross of the world.
Filling the regular program for the
mecath there were about 200 addressee
Gallvered, all tinged with the fire of lib-
erty, with the stimulant of an awak-
ened race-consciousness and that feer-
lggeness cf attitude so characteristic of
the New Negro.
‘The three standing features of the
month's work were the ecmmemora-
tiem of His Excellency’s birthday, the
unveiling of his photograph and the
calebration of Independence Day, the
keeping of all of the foregoing due in a
great messure to the untiring seal and
tagomitable epirit of the Commissioner,
who pervenally assisted in all the dec-
erations a=2 averything else.
‘On the 17th inst, the day of bis birth,
the ball waa again made the centre of
attraction by the beauty of its decors-

was the photograph of the Hon. Marcus

all points of view worthy of the occa-
ston.
The unveiling address, which was de-
livered by Dr. Hartley. one of the best
of his profession in ths colony, was a
masterpiece.
‘As one who has traveled and knows

As might have been expected, the
house was again the ecene of great

announcement was made and to in-
crease this manifestation the veil
slowly parted, forming « draping re-

bargain I ever made.” was the whit«
man's remark a fow years ago when |i
saw a great office bullding going up or
the lot at Whitehall and Alabama
streets, one of the most valuable cor-
ners In the city.
The story behind the trade is that of
the affection of the old-time Southerner
for the slay Soy who was his cspecial
playmate eventy years ago, before
Lewis Peacock died, in apportioning
out his property, he left Ran to his
daughter, Mrs. Thomas Connoll)
Young Thomas Peacock, a few years
lates, gave him sister his fourth Interest
in the Alabama-Whitehall corner for
Ran, who, as @ likely young Negro.
was worth around $1,500. Mra Con-
nolly’s son now owns the lot and the
Connolly building which stands on It
Real estate men say the lot itself is
worth $400 000 or more
Peacock said It was the best bargain
he over made, because when he went
away to war he left Ran to take care
of Mrs Peacock and the children, and
it was Ran who worked the plantation
near Atlanta and foraged for the wife
and children of his master after Sher
man’s soldiers had burned the city and
stripped the countryside of food.

PARIS, Oct 14—It now seems prob-
able that the Near Esstern peace con-
ference will be held in Switzerland, In
either Geneva or Lausanne, about Nov
18. The Turks desire to have the con-
ference held in Turkey, while the Tal.
fans wish to hold it In Italy, but Great
Britain has refused to approve the
welection of any place in Turkey. while
Greece objects to elther Turkey or
Italy.
‘The Wrench are indifferent, 20 the
choice of a city satisfactory to both as
regards business accommodations and
political color appears to be narrowed
down to Gwitseriand.
